V/A - Approaching The Illusion
[ABT-VA001 | Art Bei Ton]

Produced by Laima Adelaide
Mastered by Giovanni Conti at Artefacts Mastering
Artwork by Elcid VS

Released by Art Bei Ton from Berlin, Germany
Release Date: January 16, 2024

Following their 5th anniversary, the Berlin-based event series Art Bei Ton is kicking off its label with a first VA release ‘Approaching The Illusion’ featuring 7 tracks from Ambient to Hypnotic and Deep Techno.

The goal is to promote diverse international artists involved with our community and curate a sound reflecting different sides of our scene.

Opening the VA with a dark and ritualistic Ambient track composed by the Sardinian artist TVS, the journey follows a shamanic path by touching some euclidean rhythmics with the downtempo beat from our Art Bei Ton resident Mown.

Approaching a hypnotic dimension with Laima Adelaide’s unique atmospheric production, the VA follows up with a psychedelic tune from the Leipzig-based artist Vanta.

The collaboration between Feph and Mr. Tron offers another aspect of the hypnotic sound, with some more driving and uplifting vibes.

Wrapping up this first release, the Berlin-based artist Andrea Cossu brings us to an unusually long and trippy journey through some mental whispering voices. The Indian producer Synister (IN) takes the listener into a dark and dystopian momentum through a powerful Deep Techno groove.

Indefinite Pitch PREMIERES. Laima Adelaide - Far [Art Bei Ton]

Manuele Chiaravalloti is Mod21 an italian specialist in profound and elaborated techno we’ve been following for a long while. For this album he delivers the best of his abilities in production, diving deep into the most intricate realms in the genre.

What do we do now is the beatless introduction to this sonic journey setting the pace for Anthropology of failure introducing the beat but still meditative and liquid.

Doomsday Clock goes straight into danceable business, using effected continuous synth lines over a clean groove that grows in intensity as the beats go by. Several layers of pads add space to the sound in this dreamy techno number.

On Cold silence the beat goes busier and percussive elements are the main element making this one the perfect dj tool.

Black heart is electric and stripped down, using a few crispy synthetic elements to keep the tension although there is no kick in the equation.

Escalation of violence introduces a bit of distortion and roughness on the rhythm but preserving the mental approach on sequences and textures.

Beyond the edge of an habitable world slows down the pace and uses hypnosis via repetition to reach the appropriate state of mind in the first hours of the club.

 It gets into your brain follows, giving exactly what the title suggests, with an erratic synth line flowing over a relentless groove. This one will cause some brain damage when listened to on the proper sound systems.

Come on honey, it's real money funny title for a serious brain melting exercise that reminds us of the sound of early minimal heroes like Basic Channel. Man is a tool goes in the same direction, focusing on the dub side.

You were the good one Qerndu changes directions drastically, diving into scifi alien areas, obsessive and tooly.

The virtual denies tactility, removes the beat and reduces the sound elements to the minimum getting closer to the end of this sonic journey.

Last track, Loyalty does not end with death acts as an electronic lullaby where harmonies and lush pads are the starring.

Platform Minimal Presents Marek Bartůněk - The Viking Program. 

With Remixes from Âsan, Forward Memory & Inzajeano. 

In the vast expanse of our cosmos, each human encounter forms a constellation—a fleeting alignment of stars illuminating the darkness of our solitude. We traverse these celestial bodies, orbiting others, drawn by the gravity of shared experiences and emotions. Yet, how often do we land upon these planets—these people—only to find barren landscapes devoid of the life we once imagined? The air is thin, and the soil yields no harvest. Every planet we visit remains dead. 

This is not a physical death, nor the finality of existential cessation, but a death of potential, of growth. It is the realization that those we once thought vibrant have remained untouched by the currents of time, unchanged by the flux of experience. In these moments, we confront the stillness of their being and the immobility of their thought. The life we anticipated finding in their presence is a mirage, a projection of our desire for meaning and connection. 

Roland Barthes spoke of the “death of the author,” suggesting that the interpretation of a text lies in the hands of the reader, not its creator. In the same vein, we might be complicit in these lifeless encounters. As the readers of others’ lives, we impose narratives upon them, expecting evolution, change, and enlightenment. When we find none, when the text of their existence remains unaltered, we are confronted with our disillusionment. It is we who have authored the expectation of their transformation, and it is we who must reckon with their inertia. 

In his reflections on seeing, John Berger reminds us that “the relation between what we see and what we know is never settled.” When we meet those from our past, what we see is coloured by the knowledge we have since acquired—the awareness of our becoming, our transformations. We have journeyed and changed and look to others to affirm our evolution. But what if they are blind to their potential? What if the world remains flat to them and the stars are fixed in the sky? 

To encounter these static souls is to confront the possibility that they are always dead. It is to acknowledge that not all who breathe are alive in the truest sense. Some are mere echoes, reverberating in the chambers of our memory, lacking substance in the present. They are the shadows on the cave wall, the ghosts of what might have been unanimated by the light of experience. 

Thus, every planet we visit remains dead, not because they have failed us, but because they have remained themselves. They are the fixed points around which we orbit, measuring the progress of our voyage through the contrast of their stasis. In this realization lies the paradox of human connection: to see others is to acknowledge their limitations, and in doing so, we come to see ourselves more fully. The death we observe in others reflects the death we fear in ourselves—the death of growth, change, and the capacity to become more than we are. 

To leave a planet behind, then, is not an act of abandonment but of survival. It is to recognize the necessity of moving forward and finding those rare celestial bodies where life does flourish, the soil is fertile, and the air is filled with possibility. Only in these living encounters can we continue to evolve, learn, and truly inhabit the brief span of our years.

𝑷𝑹𝑬𝑴𝑰𝑬𝑹𝑬: PEIX - Lævateinn [𝙰𝙱𝚃-𝚅𝙰005]

About the mix:

"In this mix I tried to present some of the essence of my current approach to deep and hypnotic techno music. The sound I usually look for is rich in organic elements, deep atmospheres that play an important role and has some psychedelic properties. The selection of tracks is chosen in such a way as to reflect an attempt to expressively paint soundscapes relating to some parts of inner self as well as to nature of which we are all a part. The whole mix is kept in a theme of continuous tunnel sound, with changing themes that trigger different emotions. Sometimes solemn and monumental, and sometimes more down-to-earth, but still always in a thoughtful atmosphere."

About exoførm:

DJ and producer from Kraków, Poland. Better known for his other project MENTØL, under which he releases freeform forest psychedelic trance music on the Medulla Oblongata label. Member of the Implemental collective. He got involved in the hypnotic/deep techno scene in 2024. After discovering that techno can be based on more organic, atmospheric and natural sound, with the fair amount of psychedelia, he was immediately hooked. While learning about these subgenres, he was amazed to discover that the community associated with this music, much like the one linked to psychedelic trance, shares several commonalities - particularly in seeking inspiration from nature for musical ideas. This was surprising to him, as he had previously associated techno primarily with industrial influences. During a period of significant personal changes, discovering this music brought him great value and a fresh perspective on electronic music as a whole. Delving deeper into the complexities of this genre has led to countless sonic adventures, which have significantly enriched the artistic side of his life. Besides telling stories through mixing music, he’s currently patiently working on his own productions, which he plans to release in the future.
