Making his debut on Sarah Wild’s Midnight Operators is @etcha-1. The Dutch born/ Berlin based producer delivers three dance floor tools for different timings and a mental rave rework by Italian stallion Younger Than Me.
‘Four the Trance’ is an ode to the hectic cycling of late 90s Tour de Frances, where doping and heroic battles dominated the head over heals racing without helmets. A straight beat underpinned by a meaty bass line, a cacophony of bleeps & blops and synth lines that seems to be blown away by strong headwinds.
Gearing things into a contrasting direction is ‘Modem Handshake’. A synthetic electro roller incorporating the dial up sound of an internet modem. Common occurrence in the early years of consumer computers and a sound of a world turning digital. But also a sound of making human connection possible through cybernetic means. Could this sound have a deeper sense for the longing of being connected?
The trippy ’Sumatra Cerebral’ is based around the recordings of birds that are endemic to the Indonesian island of Sumatra. The track is about blurring the lines between what is synthetic and what is natural. Taking into question how mankind has influenced the natural world’s communication? Made in pandemic times (where travel was almost impossible). The track conveys the longing for tropical exoticism to a place that has not been visited. Just like anemoia is the nostalgia for non-personally known times.
Rounding off the EP is ‘Sumatra Cerebral (Younger Than Me ‘Mental Rave’ Remix)’. An uptempo future rave track with a simple & effective bass line that utilises the original samples, encapsulating the listener in a mix of natural and synthetic. It strikes a delicate tension between confusion and propulsion but remains mentally uplifting.
