Montreal-based producer Priori shines with a powerful EP on the horizon of Midgar Records. ‘Pareidolia’ is inspired by the phenomenon of recognizing familiar patterns in random objects, which Priori artfully incorporates into his sound design on four versatile tracks. Imagine water droplets personified as living creatures, rising to an elevated plane of existence.

Premiere: Priori - Hazard [MDG021]

Midgar Records, the tastemakers who always keep their finger on the pulse of the future, and Polygonia, the artist crafting music that feels like stepping into tomorrow, have finally collided. The result - the 'Da Nao Tian Gong' EP.

Imagine a childhood Saturday morning cartoon but with its sugary soundtrack remixed by a cyberpunk DJ who stumbled upon ancient Chinese legends. That's the whirlwind you're stepping into with 'Da Nao Tian Gong', Polygonia's latest four-track techno wanderlust.

Lindsey Wang, the mastermind behind the magic, taps into the mythical essence of Sun Wukong, the Monkey King himself. Each track is a sculpture of his legend: 'Jindou Yun' propels you through the sky on his cloud, leaving gravity in the dust. 'Shen Wai Shenfa' casts a spell with tribal rhythms, mimicking his magical hair. 'Ruyi Jingu Bang' resonates with the earth-shaking power of his staff, while our premiere for today 'Disha Shu' bursts into a kaleidoscope of sound, mirroring his 72 transformations.

'Da Nao Tian Gong', is out on January 31

PREMIERE: Polygonia - Disha Shu [Midgar]

Embracing Midgar's story-tale approach, 'Da Nao Tian Gong' (also known as 'Havoc in Heaven') stands as https://soundcloud.com/polygonia's latest four-track EP. Lindsey Wang draws direct influence from a beloved childhood cartoon, itself inspired by the ancient Chinese legend 'Journey to the West' and the iconic character Sun Wukong. In a retro-modern twist, the tracks vividly depict Sun Wukong's essence: 'Jindou Yun' embodies the swiftness of his cloud, 'Shen Wai Shenfa' invokes his magical hair with tribal rhythms, 'Ruyi Jingu Bang' mirrors his legendary staff's power, and 'Disha Shu' portrays his 72 Transformations through vibrant harmonics.

12“ Vinyl / Digital (10-05-2024)
Artwork by Bas Dobbelaer
Worldwide distribution: Clone

Deep, trippy and hypnotic. That pretty much sums up the new Nacreous-EP by Shoal on the Dutch imprint NOWHERE. The title refers to a certain glow or color that mother-of-pearl radiates. Shoal is the alter ego of Utrecht-resident Kenny Dean Kneefel. When you have a name that sounds like a famous stuntman, you are probably prepared to take more risks.

And indeed that's exactly what this producer from the lowlands does on Nacreous. Shoal's four track EP combines hallucinant grooves with delicate sound design. Like on Bygone Drums, where ominous distant sounds from a nearby factory creep between the shadows. The same can be said of the title track, a tribalistic tune with a delicate dark undertone.

Never Endings is more uplifting, with its dubbed out basslines and crispy hi-hats. Dubtechno that reminds us of both Monolake and Fluxion. Closing track Morning Float is indeed that, a trip in a blue tank filled with warm water, where you are comforted by beautiful strings and sounds of nature.

Shoal - Nacreous

Release date : 19-04-2024

Feral then adds his reconstruction, plunging the listener into a dark, swampy realm, reimagining the original with his unique signature sound.

Next up is ‘Torre De Alquimia,’ a spacious, haunting track that rolls through techno terrains with an enigmatic allure, evoking a sense of mystery and suspense throughout.

Forest On Stasys - Lotus Island EP (SL011)

Kaspiann / VC-118A
VALA 3

A1 Kaspiann - Moraalivesi
A2 Kaspiann - Metsätutka
B1 VC-118A & Kaspiann - 510
B2 VC-118A & Kaspiann - Sea of Cities

Exploring deeper strains of club music from his home base in Helsinki, Kaspiann presents the
latest transmission on VALA alongside frequent collaborator VC-118A. Samuel van Dijk previously
adopted his deep techno guise Multicast Dynamics for a joint track with Kaspiann on VALA 1, and
now he switches stance to his celebrated VC-118A alias to bring an elegant kind of electro to this
EP. It’s a style which also informs Kaspiann’s solo work on ‘Moraalivesi’, which upholds the
producer’s patient, meditative sound palette while toying with crooked electro rhythms. It’s
‘Metsätutka’ where he locks into a driving 4/4 propulsion adorned with subtle electro-acoustic
percussion and a keen sense of space.

On the collaborative tracks with van Dijk there’s a greater sense of head-tweaking electro setting
the tone, embracing a tightly wound framework as a vessel for richly rendered soundscapes just
past the foreground machine funk activity. If ‘510’ is a subtly deep, industrially-tinged workout, ‘Sea
Of Cities’ shifts the focus slightly to toy with melodic elements more wholeheartedly, creating an
emotional kind of sonic futurism in the grand tradition of electro soul.
