Deep Techno

As a motion graphics designer by day and musician by night, Dara Smith has always been fascinated by audio and visual expression. They are one and the same, he says, and as Arad he’s putting that theory into action. Particles and Waves is his second record under the moniker after Haon and unveils more a focused concept with all of his loose modus operandi in tact.

Like his work with Ian McDonnell as Lakker, Smith’s solo practice is one in perpetual flux; forever changing and redefining itself whilst drawing from a deep well of musicology. It’s directly indebted to his DJ sets, too, which cover techno in its purest form right to the very fringes of the dancefloor with brokenbeat, Gqom and Fwd influence included. It’s music written intuitively, with laissez-faire sentiment that doesn’t extended beyond the granular of the now. As a result, it cannot be defined in terms of style or structure but rather in its detailed and supremely diligent approach to sound design.

With Arad, Smith is bringing his two worlds ever closer together. It is a project born from the audio-visual intersection with exclusive artwork produced here by Smith himself in symbiosis with the music. Particles and Waves then is the first real step towards a singular Arad language that works across all of the senses.

Particles and Waves is an Electric Deluxe special LMTD edition double vinyl release, which will only be available for physical purchase through the Electric Deluxe store.

BNJMN returns to Bright Sounds with Sensei, following on from the foundations laid by his “Final Network” EP released in the spring of 2018 he again showcases the melodic, yet hypnotic and pulsating side of his sound that he has become renowned for.

Starting with the almost house-like “Soared Above”, synths fly over syncopated rhythms which build and then descend into something harsher and earthier.

“Intercellular” goes somewhat harder, yet still retaining the hypnotism and lightness of touch which will suit most hours in the club.

The title track is an exercise in restraint, one for the early hours when everything blurs and only the space in between the sounds carry you along.

“Walking Into Yourself” showcases the dreamiest side of BNJMN, in slowing down the BPM the producer shows the intricate details of his sound; letting the listener in on a dense forestlike journey.

BNJMN - Walking Into Yourself

“ Who will ever do anything better than that propeller ? ”
( Marcel Duchamp to his friend Constantin Brâncuși, while visiting an aviation technology exhibition )

We need to talk about tools.

The next release on ara, kicking off the new “UTIL” series, will question the process involved in releasing a functional dance music record nowadays, and will be available in digital format, as well as a limited edition customised tool with a download code.

Alex Moya, a.k.a Refracted, has a special place in the ever-changing club music ecosystem : his tracks are staples of countless techno DJ’s and his distinctive sound has spread its influence far beyond the borders of the genre. 

Refracted uses the limitations of utilitarian techno as the creative force behind his productions : the application of disciplined restraint channeled through his unmistakable artistry results in pure abstract gems - as necessary as they are deeply moving.

These are feathered tools, both useful and flamboyant, and we hope you’ll enjoy listening, playing and dancing to them.

# Limited edition tool with download code :
Numbered edition of 33. Handmade with love in Berlin

Fully functional chromium-vanadium steel wrench, fitted with multicoloured natural cockerel feathers.
Use it to fasten nuts & bolts in style, frame it, or exhibit it as a work of art.

Editions are individually numbered - each recognisable as part of a whole, while being slightly different due to the manual production process.
