The Vortex - EP´s, releases

EPL#1

"A remix package which well represent the multifaceted approach of Midgar to techno. Edit-Select opens with a long and groovy rework of 'Lost In The Instability', keeps the peculiar synth & basslines of the original cut, and goes further, carrying those elements to deeper dimensions. Synthek delivers a stabbing remix of 'Nibelheim', a killer techno cut where powerful broken beats continuously crash into the heaviest sonic waves. 'Alba' was originally an interlude solely composed of ambient sounds and ephemeral voices, which evolved with Luigi Tozzi's interpretation into a sweet and melancholic trip. Wata Igarashi to close the record, re-imagines 'Pulse Width' as a mind-stressing experience held in a frame of hollow drones"

MDG002X - Ruhig : Lost In The Instability EP Remixed [snippets]

Mono Martini - N.N. (CPU remix) (TF24)

My New May 2016 Promo Mix. 
It was inspired by music impressions at the electronic festival "Strichka". Listen and enjoy techno vibes. Cheers ;)

Jey Raboy - Voyage Of Strichka (May 2016 Techno Promo)

This mix contains music exclusively composed by Canadian artists and released on Canadian labels, spanning roughly 20 years of Canadian techno. 

The sound is on the headier and more experimental side of the spectrum to reflect the festival it was recorded for.


Hope you enjoy!

Strichka

Agnosia project began four years ago, they been influenced by different sound styles, from 90’s Shoegaze till contemporary Ambient and Techno.

Looking for a melancholic sound, they swim into distortioned melodies, mixing progressive and quiet grooves, swallowing you to a metaphorical trip inside the mind of the main character of the story in every release, using the thoughts as the principal way of expression.

The link between music and artworks to their ephemeral manoeuvres, is the principal feature reflected on the label, practicing a musical language through walls of sound and the personal feelings of Agnosia.

In every release, Ephemeral Manoeuvres, will count with a new artist who can change the script to make a new variation for the end of the story. In “Anatomy of Melancholia”, Ness joins the record, creating a daydreamed way of escape for the main character of the story, who’s trapped in his own mind exploration about the loss of a beloved person.

https://soundcloud.com/blndr : Drone Capacity E.P.
Natch Elements debut with Drone Capacity Ep by the uprising deep techno talent BLNDR. The french producer delivers 4 cuts delineating the primary label's aesthetics, additionally twisted up and remixed by label boss Synthek and compatriot Hydrangea. The record's intro is the ethereal Temples and Mothership, welcoming the listener to a sonic journey which takes the first beat/steps with Wandering Soul. This second cut is made out of fragmented drums alternating a solid kick and delayed vocals. Closing the first side, we find the powerful Drone Capacity, track which gives the title to the release, setting the pace higher and bringing a significant amount of energy in the game. On the flipside, the mystical groove of Silent Quest reveals some deep jungle's secrets and leaves the closing duties to razor-sharp Synthek remix of Drone Capacity which reworks the original elements adding heavy pressure and dancefloor vibes. Left out of the vinyl length the beautiful atmospheric rework of the evergrowing Hydrangea, drawing an alternative, more spacious and organic vision of SIlent Quest. This last cut will be available for free download in the same time of the physical release. NTCEL01 sow the seeds of a new catalogue that supports artists with certain attention for deep and detailed compositions.

Ruff Cherry comes back after probably too long on Midgar, with Forest Of Thorns Ep. The record has been in the making since more than a year, but will finally hit the stores in a month. After the well received Ritual Ep (September 2015) the Cork based producer delivers once again messages on behalf of some obscure alien civilizations.

Ground Tactics arises with a transformative release, building bridges between sonic fields. Immaterial Breath EP raises energy levels by creating peculiar momentums of inner reflection. Spanning from IDM to conceptual techno, every single element in his sound is hand crafted, transmitting intimate feelings through grainy textures and subtle distortions. Immaterial Breath projects disorder in construction, inducing a chronic loss of established conditioning, extending the mind to unfamiliar perspectives.

The next premiere for @DarkScienceElectro comes to us from an artist that needs no introduction unless you've been living under a rock for the last 10 years.

@The-Exaltics hail from Germany and have been consistently putting out quality Electro/Techno since 2007. Following the success of their recent 'Das Heise Experiment' LP, The Exaltics lend their power to the Italian label @FU-ME-Rec - For this various artist compilation they bring on Faceless Mind (@asa0asd90i4rfdas), @Umwelt-music, The Exaltics and label curator @DJ_Vietnam featuring @tha_haterparisi - The track selected to premiere for @DarkScienceElectro is the Exaltics track entitled 'Parallel Worlds'. This track stood out to me with it's gorgeous melody driven mostly by use of sweeping pad synths and a throbbing bass line that is reminiscent of The Exaltics work with Gerald Donald on the aforementioned 'Das Heise Experiment' project (https://soundcloud.com/the-exaltics/soundcloud)- I must admit that all of the tracks on this release are worth the coin. The vinyl will be released at the end of November.
