Velvet (Funk D'void Remix)

UK dance music antagonist Works Of Intent redefines big room techno on ‘Richer Sound’, an album with six all-new tracks alongside six cuts previously released on Laurent Garnier and Scan X's COD3 QR label.

Works Of Intent is a vital voice in the underground who champions the sounds and stories of South Asian creatives in his role as Project Manager and Visual Designer for DAYTIMERS. He has also written multiple essays on race, class and privilege in the industry while laying down expressive sets across four decks at key clubs like fabric, Panoramabar and Rex. His emotive, storytelling sounds have come on labels like Turbo, Rekids and Monkeytown, and outside that, he's a go-to mix engineer for some of the UK's most exciting prospects.

‘Richer Sound’ features six tracks previously released on the label’s Various Artist EPs and six brand new offerings that avoid tired big room tropes. Gone are the snare rolls, white noise risers and kick drops, instead Work's operates under the mantra of "big tunes for big hearts" where musicality makes the motive. The artist himself has taken care of the artwork, mixing and mastering and says of the album, “It’s melancholia turned up so loud you can’t ignore it. It’s a deafening barrage of emotions designed for super clubs. It’s unsubtle, it’s unabashed, it’s unrelenting, and it wears its heart on its sleeve. It’s unmistakably a work of intent.”

Opener 'You Should' is a thrilling breakbeat tour de force that nails emotional impact and dance floor weight with impeccable craft. The title track is a colossal mind melter with throwback references to the home cinema experience of yesteryear in its samples of tape rewinds, DVD disc trays and CD disc changers, all adding a constantly rising urgency, then 'V.H.S.' brings a brutalist UK edge to proceedings with tambourine-layered and echoed dub snares making it a real bass bin workout. The powerful 'Fully Focused' builds to deliver the loudest sound you'll ever hear as Works Of Intent makes his synths scream; then there is a moment to dream on 'The Colour Of It' with its ethereal uncertainty, low-slung rhythms and epic synth washes.

Cars and motorsport have been a recurring theme in previous Works Of Intent releases and appear again here in 'Left Unseen', which has the high octane, death-defying adrenaline of rally driving perfectly transposed into a big room techno experience. 'Winning Dulls The Pain' is another cacophony of rising and descending V10 engines underpinning an ever-urgent lead, and 'Old Ways, New Mistakes' bounces boisterously with stadium-sized kick drums and synthetic mourning that will break hearts across arenas. 'Add New Ones' brings the heft of dubstep minimalism to a slower 4x4 form, and 'Dreamt I Saw You' takes fawning imaginations to lucid heights with a synth and cymbal pairing designed to get you stargazing in the club. There is an unrelenting Berlin techno drive to 'Hard Year' that peaks in a wash of cymbals and warbled melancholia before 'You Should (Reprise)' reimagines the opening cut in a more patiently building form with even more emotional impact.

‘Richer Sound’ is just the sort of expertly-crafted, genre-busting work of emotional and physical potency you would expect from such a restless nonconformist as Works Of Intent.

From Detroit and passing thru Chicago on the Soul Research train, comes Titonton Duvante', a multi-faceted artist who has been in the US scene for over 15 years, and has been making the Motor City music scene proud ever since.
Recapitulate, EP vol1 is new and a pot of inspiration. Two tracks which mix Detroit grooves and sounds with a Chicago style rhythm. Recapitulate, produced with Christofer Rau, is experimental and ethereal. The EP ends with a Yotam Avni, a young and talented artist from Israel, who takes Recapitulate into techno with no compromises.

https://www.residentadvisor.net/dj/mimetic
Musically involved in techno and atmospheric sounds, Mimetic is the reflection of Jérome Soudan’s mind, complex and fascinating. This is a hyperactive musician, often described as an essential piece of the european underground music scene. He first studied piano at conservatory level, leading him to explore and become interested in clarinet, orchestral percussion, drumming and later electronic drumming. Once he finished his musical diploma, Jérôme moved from Lyon to Paris in 1994 and joined Les Tétines Noires. He soon became involved in another project: Von Magnet, where he quickly established himself within the band, due to his drumming talent, as well as his natural skills as a composer. During four years, he lived in Berlin, from 1996 to 2000 while playing and writing in Art Zoyd, he created his own musical project: Mimetic. He is now living in Geneva, working as artistic director of Electron Festival, Présences Electroniques Genève and Headfun.
His first album as Mimetic named ‘Overrated’, received good reviews from the electronic music movement. Far from being stuck on one idea or genre, Mimetic writes for contemporary dance artists (Carol Brown, Jan Linkens, Lionel Hoche), creates the soundtracks of underground movies by director Lech Kowalsky (D.O.A, East in Paradise…). Specific work that he is still involved in currently, he is also collaborating with Sigmasix on a audiovisual installation experiencing the sound in octophony: Vertical Surround.
So far, Mimetic has released 9 albums, many various digipacks, DVDs and also a book. His last album “Where We Will Never Go”, includes collaborations with Mika Vainio, Mira Calix, Niveau Zero and Samael and was remixed by Kangding Ray and Paul Kendall ( NIN, Depeche Mode ).
Not only a successful producer and live artist, Mimetic is a brillant DJ, mixing with ease different styles such as bass music, techno and electronica. He aleady shared the stage with : Surgeon, Ellen Allien, Jeff Mills, Charlotte De Witte, Paula Temple, Nina Kraviz, Robert Hood, Leftfield, Jon Hopkins, Daniel Avery, Rodhad, Max Cooper, Chris Liebing, Slam, Optimo, Agoria, Pantha du Prince, Miss Kittin, Speedy J, The Hacker, Oxia, Sam Paganini, Marcel Fengler, Alan Fitzpatrick, Extrawelt, Roman Flügel, Paco Osuna, Modeselektor, Helena Hauff,….
Behind his machines, he knows how to handle the crowds and to make them move. After 25 years of touring, expressing and improving his art, Mimetic is still following his path, fed by multicultural influences.
