Powell - Oh No New York

B1 - KMYLE - Paris [ VOISKI Remix ] - skryptöm 31

»island people« is a new band project consisting of mastering engineer conor dalton, grammy award winning producer david donaldson, musician and DJ graeme reedie and guitarist ian »chippy« maclennan. on their first self-titled record, they present their collaborative work that evolved over the past three years.
 
being based in different cities, namely berlin and glasgow, files had to be exchanged back and forth between the band members in order to create tracks. for their delicate sound structures, field recordings and other sound sources were heavily processed and rendered unrecognizable. layer after layer, the tracks came into being quite naturally, not only reflecting their continuous way of working, but also incorporating their different and individual backgrounds: »during the whole creation of the album, we never realized our actions were quickly leading us into forming »island people«, we were too busy having fun, making music and sharing ideas.«
 
the result of their collaboration is a timeless music that is as open as a natural phenomenon, developing a certain feeling of euphoria over time. all in all, »island people« is a pure listening record in the best tradition of ambient.

»decadent yet depraved«, the debut album by belief defect, finds shelter and complicity in raster as home and label.

familiar with the underground music scene and how its skeptical nature can also be an obstacle to overcome, belief defect abandon any claim or credit in an attempt to transcend the limits authorship imposes, avoid the boundaries or expectations earned or self imposed and find the clearest, most direct path to their music for themselves and the listener.

at the core of the album is the music that inspired them, the conclusion of countless recordings listened to in their formative years that ultimately result in a life-long devotion to electronic music: from dance floor to primal anger and self-annihilating noise, to transcendental, ambient escapism and intense self-reflexive sonic layering.

the result is a soundtrack for this apocalyptic time, an uncompromising reflection on the state of mankind and its uncertain future — underscored by a sense of religious and secular demise referenced in track titles, samples, and soundscapes scattered throughout the album.

yet, more than a political statement »decadent yet depraved« is an introspective journey, turning each listener into a spiritual soul-seeker staring into the abyss, reaching for some kind of cathartic truthfulness.

Doug Cooney has cultivated his knowledge of techno over many years. Doug's passion for this craft runs deep and his DJ sets span the full spectrum of Techno, past and present. His style and attention to detail have earned him warm up sets for many of his Techno heroes, with Dave Clarke, UVB and Abstract Division being recent highlights. As well as being a Mutate resident, he also plays regular headline slots in Dublin’s biggest venues & has played several gigs abroad taking a trip to Berlin’s Arena club last year featuring on the same line up as Adam X & the Dystopian Record labels Jon Hester. 

Doug is also the driving force behind Real//Sound Ireland an independent music school for aspiring producers and DJs in Dublin. Real//Sound provides workshops and showcases for those hoping to learn the craft of electronic music, within the laid back and straightforward environment Doug insists on with all he does. 

Doug brings a similarly tireless ethos to his own productions, which blend classic analogue synthesis with contemporary digital sound design. His production has received support from Berghain Resident Answer Code Request & Ben Sims who has played several of Doug's tracks featuring them on his monthly ‘Run It Red’ mix Series. As well as producing records under his own name on labels Bastardo Eléctrico, research and RLSD Records, Doug is also part of the duo RSCH14, who released on Vision Collector records. More recently, Doug’s composition skills have been turned to scoring, and he was delighted to be commissioned by VICE and Vodafone to produce four tracks for "Don't Forget To Go Home”, a documentary which explored Berlin’s techno scene. 

So… very pleased to welcome Doug to the Orbis Records.

If you’re looking for a good four tracker to keep in your bag for a very long time, allow it to be this one. Consistent throughout the EP. Great synthesis with a classic touch with an excellent balanced digital sound design. If you’re not planning on playing this on a big ass sound system just once,… just don’t! 

“Alternative” offers none. 
As simply as that. Slick. Classic synthesis. 
Gently and balanced, yet interestingly very funky in its own way.
Perfect filler and A-track to set the tone for this EP.

“Internal Drive“ is a kicker. Excellent thrive. 
Perfect floor filler with a touch of acidic bass lines

“Riflekt“ kicks of the B-side.
Imagine an empty black space creeping up to you from behind.
Dark. Groovy. Bleeps and Blips. Gentle throttling movements around you.
Great atmosphere generator to shift any DJ-set to a higher gear and step it up a notch.

“Coming Home” sounds like a track to cruise home from an amazing night. You’d expect soft, gently, sweet minimalistic techno with a touch of melancholia. Guess what. Not for Doug. Sounds more like a good ol’skool closer to have a last stretch of all those zombies on the floor!
Go home. Go hard. 

We’re extremely humbled to have Doug Cooney as our guest on our 15th release! A milestone.

Sounds From NoWhere is pleased to premiere a new AsymetriK' gem on 'Planet Rhythm'.
AsymetriK is the bold and experimental alias of Arjun Vagale, an artist who’s been a leading figure in the Indian electronic music landscape for over two decades.
The debut release of his self-titled label wends through the chaotic landscape of what we broadly call ‘electronic music’. 
As AsymetriK seizes a free and open platform to explore his versatility, the EP delves deep into unchartered territory, spanning varying tempos and creative musical paths.
‘C19H21N3O’, takes form of the molecular formula of a sleeping pill, takes you on a continuously evolving acid trip.

Premiere: AsymetriK - C19H21N3O [Planet Rhythm]

Title track ‘Mercurial Skin’ sees new life via Ellen Allien’s ‘Remix 2’ as the BPitch Control boss lays down eerie synths amongst bumping bass licks, whilst Reeko’s remix of ‘Brother’ ups the energy and channels the track’s intense vocals to deliver an ominous peak time offering. Benjamin Damage’s remix of ‘Mouais’ combines rich organic percussion and sweeping atmospherics, whilst Sodeyama’s hypnotic version of the track offers up a spellbinding five-and-a-half minute journey through pockets of space and serenity.
