We put together this compilation as a fundraiser for the people of Beirut. 100% of proceeds will go directly to relief, and support organizations on the ground in Beirut.

In the aftermath of an explosion at the city's main port in August 2020 that caused unthinkable amount of damage to the city of Beirut and displaced hundreds of thousands of people. In addition, the damage and destruction of infrastructure and buildings throughout the city (including many cultural spaces, heritage sites, museums, hospitals, studios), not to mention the injured, homeless and hungry families who are in survival mode.

IM089 - @galtier - Pulchra Es Elementis
Label: Infinite Machine
Release Date: September 24th,2021
Format: 12" / Digital

With 10 years in the ‘biz’ firmly under his belt, Jiah Wells is poised to release the first full-length LP of his Galtier project, Pulchra Es Elementis. Whilst Galtier is arguably one of the originators of the percussive style that would eventually fall under the Hard Drum label, the heightened theatrics of his recent output have seen him channel Blade Runner-styled sonics and move further away from absolute club functionality. Whilst Galtier’s output often seems to soundtrack hypothetical, off-planet words, Pulchra Es Elementis turns the focus inwards: towards Wells’ own emotional constellation, his evolving spirituality and his attempts to tap into planes of existence beyond the tangible. The album’s Latin title translates to ‘Elements are Beautiful’ and encapsulates the artist’s belief that there is grace in all of life’s aspects; pushing past what we deem as good or bad, minuscule or massive.

Pulchra Es Elementis begins with Crystalised Larva, a brooding opener of breathy pad synths and expansive kick drums which reverberate through the mix as if the hits originate from the bottom of a valley. There’s an indistinct sense of tension on this track, in part due to a central melody, which never resolves but only descends lower in pitch. This tension turns to explorative wonder on Wilfull Saviour, where a mirage of musical ideas come in and out of focus. Although the sonic worlds Galtier explores are internal to him, Wilfull Saviour still possesses that sense of a cosmic journey we’ve come to expect from Wells; an ardent fan of dystopian films and literature.

Continuing this emotional odyssey, Bruised, But Not Broken sees the artist push deeper into the psychological undergrowth; its murky tonality juxtaposes crisp, Reggaeton-inspired drum patterns with a heavily compressed one-note synth line that modulates wildly - cutting through the mix like a nagging thought that won’t leave your mind. Next up is U Were, U Are & What U Will Be, one of the more club-ready tracks of the LP, which gets us moving with a snarling bassline and layers upon layers of percussive hits and inflections.

At Pulchra Es Elementis’ mid-point is the LP’s title track, a drumless interlude where blissful, shimmering synths create a patchwork of intensities. Galtier’s approach to songwriting shines through here; ignoring musical pragmatics, he opts to feel his way through his compositions without knowing where they might end up. Following on from that weightless breather, Phantasiai turns up the freneticism with its head-spinning mix of drum programming and a glitched-out synth line that yo-yos up and down octaves. Things get even more furious on the Superficie-featuring Cavernam, a hollow Hard Drum banger inspired by Eskibeat sensibilities and designed to create a sense of self-implosion.

The album’s penultimate track, (U Are) Beautiful, is a tale of two halves: beginning with a moment of serenity as synthesizers swell like an ocean tide before evolving into a marching crescendo of raw energy. Rounding off the album, Shine Forth hurtles through pacey drum work and all manner of strange zaps and klaxons before giving way to a final dose of nebulous ambience.

A musical journey unlike any other ‘club music’ albums, Pulchra Es Elementis is an LP that demands to be consumed in one sitting. Reflecting on his place within the universe and the musical landscape, the album could be viewed as a musical exorcism which sees Galtier working through and shedding huge chunks of his ego that stuck to him out of fear of the unknown. Pulchra Es Elementis begins on an insecure, overwhelming or, even, existential note before rounding off with a related sense of vastness seen with new, more positive eyes. It’s a voyage we hope you will join him on.

Shiva, The Destroyer (Out on Krakzh - Breizh Power Vol.4)

Does the music has to be named? Do we need to put a gender on it? Does it has to fit in a case? Is there a proper recipe to release music? Don’t you want to unfollow the rules? Don’t you want to let the sounds express itself? 

Here is Tai.no.a, Tai.no.a doesn’t give a shit about the rules. Tai.no.a is free, Tai.no.a is genderless. Tai.no.a is electic, deconstructed, and beautiful. Tai.no.a is not a prisoner of an aesthetic. Let Tai.no.a speak, listen to them, and forget everything you thought you knew. 

The aesthetic is - No aesthetic.

At a time when the world is at the edge of dark upheavals, La Forge continues to build its own metaverse by sharing with you its latest gems from French club music. In the grooves of jungle, techno or trance, this opus takes the form of an initiatory journey where the reveries of some and others merge in joyful zones of turbulence.
On board this celestial vessel, 13 tracks made by talented craftsmen: Bruit Fantôme, CLAP42, D3MOR, FIDY, Healing Noises, Hit HZ, Indigo Persona, JKS & Shonen Bat, Marino, Metrolog, Nigm, Soul Edifice & Qant, Tim Karbon. As much driven by experimentation and the science of sound-design as by the vision of ecstatic dancefloors, the alchemy of this compilation, in which everyone will find something to their liking, is once again the result of a manifest eclecticism.

Second and final chapter of Prisoner of the Self, the novel-reflection forged by Katatonic Silentio, reinterpreted & scream-reworked by the subterrestrial squad formed by Stenny, ZULI, Walton, Herva, Kinlaw & Franco Franco
Five and one chain reactions auto-industrial approach tunes, committed in this world spinning on the way to ruin.
The “condition of suspended animation" experienced in a trivial way, the collapse of a civilization, a conclusion of dystopia.
New movements are bound to be born, we see beyond their disguise, we can rightly evaluate our dilemma, realize our modern condition, and mobilize further to avert the true catastrophe, whose shapes we’re already witnessing.

Prisoner Of The Self REMIXED

Katatonic Silentio - Prisoner Of The Self REMIXED (BNC006)(Preview)

Quarantine Sonic Squad is a collective uniting many electronic producers and musical activists in France (and beyond), born under the epidemic era and brought together by Tim Karbon. Its aim is to create a musical corpus that has its roots in today's electronic / club music phenomenon, regardless of genre attributions of any kind.

QSS VOL. 2 "LOCKDOWN COMBAT" is our new militant album, following the initial "DAL de Vivre" project which was thought as a musical tool to gather funds and waving public attention upon bad housing problematics in France, increased by the COVID-19 pandemic. This first opus was released in May 1st of 2020 & quickly gained critical / media acclaim from the like of Resident Advisor, CouvreXChefs, SeekSickSound, Dure Vie...

After uniting our energies to work with the DAL - Droit Au Logement ("right to housing") french association, which is helping oppressed and homeless people to get safe spaces to live in, we are now joining forces with the BAAM, another solidarity collective based in Paris. They are providing to all refugees & migrants a juridic, cultural and social support through french classes, administrative help and housing solutions, among many other things. They have also created a LGBTQIA+ safe-space for asylum seekers facing daily homophobia or transphobia.

This 49-tracks album is our personal tribute to all the people threatened by governmental actions with the hunting of refugees, to all victims of police brutality & systemic racism. Spreading sonic love to all our brothers and sisters who face state violence and neoliberal laws that place economic growth of the few above the right to live with dignity for all human beings. The whole piece will be exclusively downloadable on Bandcamp for a low price, with all funds going to the BAAM to help them on militant and activism aspects.

Here is a link to the BAAM's website, to know more about their lovely work for dignity and respect :
