[DREFLTD003] Nocow - Iles LP

Dynamic Reflection proudly presents a new limited vinyl-only release from a Saint Petersburg-based producer Aleksei Nikitin, better known as Nocow. In true Nocow fashion, the album encapsulates an array of music styles that go beyond techno, which results in a refreshing take on the genre. 

Ambient drones, tribal undertones, UK garage influences and other 90’s aesthetics are among some of the impressions we’ve gotten from listening to “Iles”. Creating within a diverse spectrum of EDM sub-genres is something that comes naturally for the artist, who is already known for his versatility in music production. In the words of Nocow, this allows him to express his ideas to a higher degree of freedom.

The music on “Iles” serves as a language of subconscious that simultaneously brings out thoughtful reverie and the feeling of saudade. It is an emotional experience that connects a sense of nature’s mystique with a notion of the human Self, which allows for the listener’s inner dialogue in a moment of reflection.

Nocow’s music solidified him as a prominent artist within the contemporary techno scene and his new album is yet another proof of it. We are fascinated by the project and hope you enjoy the sonic world of “Iles” as much as we do.

After stellar releases on Ilian Tape and Nostro Hood System among others, Mutualism represents the much-awaited return of Atrice on their own label Miras. The follow-up EP reflects the culmination of a year-long exploration of compositional techniques and sound design, and acts as a first step towards a debut album. The result is a complete work, divided into eight chapters, that applies previous artistic research on textures, harmonics and rhythms in a rigorous yet playful manner. Whilst continuing to touch upon a broad spectrum of uptempo reference points, Mutualism offers a first glimpse into the pairs underlying pliancy next to the ever-present intricate complexities in their output.

That's all, hasta abajo!

"...has an imperial, exacting beauty." (The Wire)
“…few albums have hit us as hard as Caterina Barbieri’s 70-minute opus, Patterns Of Consciousness. On her debut full-length, Barbieri commands tsunami-height waves of arpeggiated analog synths." (Fact Mag)
"Patterns Of Consciousness finds Caterina Barbieri at her best, elegantly moving between melodically pleasant yet twisted sequences and comforting, reassuring sonic spaces. Every piece, while given a singular identity, is part of the bigger picture: a work of art that will push you, pull you, and then eventually leave you with your back against the wall once you get to the last track. " Alessandro Cortini (Nine Inch Nails)

Acid Test continues their journey with the return of Achterbahn D’Amour. On their first proper release in three years, Jool & Iron Curtis patiently craft an intricate sound world - with the opening track, major-key pads hearken towards a bright future, hi-hats rustle like leaves and on "Dehaveland," percussive elements fall into beautiful, random unison like factory machines staging an after hours dance. Samuel Van Dijk's vaunted VC-118A project steps up for a remix, turning in a taut techno version that unfurls smoke pillars of ghostly ambience. The duo wraps up the four-tracker with an unexpected dreamy electro turn, “Don’t Talk To Me." Throughout Acid Test 13, they remain in lockstep with the label's ethos — to bend, hammer and flatten acid lines into new, imaginative shapes.

`illegal afters tracks` 01 is now available!

Our first transmission brings you three stories from the dancefloor, relayed to us by Seattle's Sketch Artist.

These tracks are a series of drawings — a dark alleyway behind a closing bar ... a moment when the beat hangs in the air, and you look at your friends like “what just happened?” …  a night of over-indulgence, riddled by hallucinations.

We hope you like it!

Avilynn founded her label Taisha with the idea of altering the relationship between artist and music lover, and shifting their exchange away from the digital domain and back to the physical world.

The focus of the label is on releasing physical products – with emphasis on supporting physical record stores – as well as the use of the cityscape as the primary interface between musician and potential music listener. Access to Avilynn's music and multimedia output is made possible through stickers scattered about different city scapes (all over the world) which feature personal quotes from the artist and QR codes. Life experiences in macro and micro; daily reveries and introspections; byproducts of clubbing and city life...converted into sonic frequencies.


A four track vinyl-only EP that traverses hybrid techno subgenres. Hypnotic, opiate and cinematic – the stuff ready-made for synesthetes. Side A explores rich, multiplex, down-tempo soundscapes, while Side B is dancefloor oriented and focused on building different themes using the track structure. The highlight of the EP is the song ‘’Never Relax'', inspired by the realities of producing hidecibel club music in a house full of sound-sensitive neighbours.

Release date: September 1st, 2020.

Premiere: Avilynn - Acacia [Taisha Records]

The debut release on Miras stems from co-honchos and long-time residents Atrice. Their musical work is heavily inspired by the uncanny interplay between the tangibility of digital stimulus satiation and authentic real-life encounters in an increasingly disconnected world. Atrice’s compositions have a strong focus on detail, which originates from their academic formation as sound designers. However, the key to the Zurich-based Duo’s production is their playful approach to established genres resulting in emotive soundscapes and energetic amalgamations. 

On the three tracks this approach is perfectly mirrored through a hybrid of sultry House, hard-hitting Breaks and neck-bending Gabber. The EP kicks off with the title track "J.A.-Ris", a contagious homage to early Jungle with tight basses and witty Juke inserts. The deep pads enter like a windy thunderstorm on a humid summer day, momentarily taking the light from the sky. It’s followed by the second composition "Give Me", which moves between Breakbeat and House with a futuristic sound design. It penetrates through the darkened clouds and lets the first sunrays shine on the asphalt. A slight smell of Petrichor underlines the dystopian moment. Lastly "Demorado" enters with many familiar facets, which however are being completely turned on their heard over the course of the piece, reminiscent of a spellbinding whirlwind. It is characterized by Gabber, IDM and Drum'n'Bass influences with cinematic gestures and complex drum structures.

That's all, hasta abajo!

Man of the Match

Intro

Following their first two VA's "Velvet Dream" & "Mirror Fantasy", Ritmo Fatale is now excited to present the very first EP on Ritmo Fatale. Proudly introducing The Dream Machine by Brazilian producer Neurotiker.

Just like a renegade T-1000 escaped from a Cyberdyne factory this mysterious and hugely talented producer  is shapeshifting in multiple forms, evolving in his own retro futuristic landscape forged from a new-beat EBM italo and synthwave alloy. And to add a great deal of epicness into the mix, who other than one of their favorites, the man Chinaski.

A huge shout out to Vica Pacheco for crafting this amazing and unreal artwork, straight from Skynet A.I. Can't be more on point to illustrate this cyberpunk inspired EP.

The Dream Machine is a captivating, grim and unique tale. 
The perfect OST to wait for judgement day. 
Spoiler : it has already started.

“Origins" is a collection of 6 pillars of exploratory electronic music from 6 different uprising producers and sound artists. A varied, yet cohesive collection of bright, meditative, and pulsating atmospheres.

Portland's Well Being gives us "Soft Mood", which is just that. Shiny, crisp percussive elements ride a groove that peaks and valleys in all the right ways. Gentle acid bass echoes out in radar ping patterns while swells of smooth synth and indistinct vocal chops fill the room.

Aurore 404 is back with the 2nd Volume of Cut A Rug, a series dedicated to dance numbers and relentless groovers. All 6 pieces are composed by french artists, their genre oscillating between house, deep house and italo disco. Noise Ark and Chouba are kicking off the release with great house tunes both based on steady groovy basslines. Then, Doublure, with his mesmerizing synth and out of space arpeggiator, smoothly bridges the first and the latter part of the EP.
NairLess takes over to do what he does best: some funky drums and a catchy melody dancing around a solid Morodesque bassline sequence. Then comes S.R who cooked an epic italo burner with a strong old school vibe built around playful synths answering each other - we cannot wait to blast this one on dancefloors, once they reopen.
To end this chapter, Vanderkraft dusts off the Delorean with his spacey ‘Antépénultième’, filled with transporting melodies, bouncing drums and some 303 funkiness to top it all off.

PREMIERE : NairLess - Nightlife In Paris

`illegal afters tracks` returns with a transmission from Seattle's @xminus1. 

These tracks anticipate that first party we’re all looking forward to. After an anxious arrival, a playful rhythm invites you to hang your armor on the coat rack. You’re seduced by a groove that marries your body to the dancefloor but pulls your mind to an acid beach party on the shores of a distant planet. Is that a filter sweep or the waves crashing? The bouncing floorboards bring you back to your body. You laugh and exchange stories with your friends as the DJ puts on the last tune of the night…
