Ruhig - Materia Ep (full streaming > https://soundcloud.com/midgar_records/sets/ruhig-materia-ep)
Mastering by Ken Karter
Release Date: September 2016
Format: Vinyl + Digital (Bandcamp)
Materia Ep is the second installment of Ruhig's double Ep, inaugurated with Particles Ep in January 2016. Originally the records were supposed to be out in the same period, but due to problems with our ex-distribution, Materia Ep got postponed of few months. The release starts with the transcendent Trento, respecting Ruhig's tradition of broken beats IDM deep techno leaning openers. Consecutive cut The Vector is a thumping mixtures of drones and heavyweight hihats designed with some attention for dancefloor. The slow-burner Materia delivers some powerful mist-shrouded kicks on the B-side, that wraps up with Sciame, a massive droning wave of electro wasps, which still keeps some classy chilled out elements somewhere in the background, behind the thunderous main drums. Vinyl unfortunately left no space for the extra only digital track 1870, this last one is percussive retro-futuristic jam of psychedelic mouth arp and huge mallets drums. The track will be available for free download in the same period of the vinyl.

MDG005.2 - Ruhig : Materia EP [snippets]

Tangenziale has been spinning vinyl since 1995, acquiring his first pair of SL1200 turntables from a local mobile DJ who was ‘upgrading’ to CD. :)

Playing Triple J’s Mix-Up in November 1997, Tangenziale created a 3 hour live mix including tracks by local Ballarat electronic artist Kriyashakti (Chris Pollard). Part of this set was again repeated on New Year’s Eve 1997 as part of a ‘best of’ show alongside Josh Wink’s Mix Up set from that year amongst others.

The set was recorded on an absolute minimum of gear: 1x tiny 2x channel Gemini mixer, 1x SL1200 and one awful 1200 clone, a Roland MC303, some sort of Yamaha synth, recorded to a hired DAT machine. I highly suspect it only got a replay because the DAT was probably still laying around the Mix Up studio haha.

Tangenziale, originally known as DJ 2600, also hosted a weekly electronic music radio show (The Genesis Project) on Ballarat’s 3BBB FM, started Kinesthesia Productions organising free bush doof parties, played at many Victorian doofs (incl. Imajica, Ganeshatribe) and Kryal Castle parties (Wild Things) along with occasional Melbourne club nights (Earthcore at Seven, Bass Station). He also played regular club nights at Ballarat’s Bridge Mall Inn, Grainery Lane, Ballarat Uni, random warehouses.

Favoured genres are jungle, liquid drum and bass, deep house, classic techno, vintage psychedelic trance, and electronic ambience/chill out.
