One More Minute

Bypass is a montage of journeys, a series of passing sounds representing the "in-between" and being in the middle of sonic passages. The compositions in the release are created entirely from live recorded and processed audio loops made with electronic instruments, namely the Casio SA-3 keyboard. The looping technique applied during the recording is based on tape looping techniques developed by Brian Eno and Robert Fripp.

In Bypass, loops are processed and refined in real-time during the recording. Audio processing is an integral part of the improvisation and a factor that dictates the direction of the passages heard on the album. Each composition is founded on a singular live performance that is later arranged as a composition by layering segments from the overall recording. The sonic content folds over itself and forms a soundscape that bends the linearity of the performance.

The recording performances are spontaneous and improvised journeys, with the creation process evolving throughout the making. The exploratory approach entailed unpredictability and surprising timbral events. Each track offers something unique, with moods and soundscapes revealed only during the performance and arrangement. In other words, nothing on the album was predetermined or premeditated.

Released on digital format by Language of Colours [LOC-5]. Written, produced, and artwork by HOMI. Mastered by Samuel van Dijk.

A1. Better Way
A2. Better Version
B1. Child Was I
B2. Child Version

Samuel van Dijk (VC-118A) and Rasmus Hedlund return for a third plate in their ongoing exploration of roots-minded dub techno with Jamaica-born, Finland-based vocalist Benji. 

The vocals set the tone on both these new tracks, as Benji meditates on internal and external forces with his own brand of old-soul wisdom. Better Way is an upfront steppa reflecting on the need for new solutions to solve humanity enduring problems, while Child Was I travels deeper inwards to highlight the importance of lived experience in shaping the inner self as we grow. 

Alongside the vocal versions, Dialog offer up the instrumental versions of the tracks for the full dubwise listening experience, letting every melancholic synth lick and echo chamber drum trail shine through as their project continues to forge its own path in the dub techno tradition.

Dialog - DOT 3 (feat. Benji) - DOT003

"An absolute piece of craftsmanship. It demands full attention, packed with intricate details and brilliant electronic experimentation. A long and fully developed journey. A delight from start to finish. We wish you lucid dreams."

Set recorded in Espacio Perpendicular (@espacio-perpendicular), during Lucid Dreams on October 4th.

Samuel van Dijk is a Dutch electronic music producer and DJ who explores contrasts in his music, blending genres like electro, techno, dub, and ambient. Under his aliases - VC-118A, Mohlao (@mohlao), and Multicast Dynamics (@multicastdynamics) -he creates immersive soundscapes that move from outer space to oceanic depths. His modular approach to live performances allows him to shift from energetic breakbeats to abstract, textured soundscapes. With releases on respected labels such as Delsin and Frustrated Funk, van Dijk's work is known for its melancholic moods and deeply absorbing grooves, whether in clubs or experimental settings. His sets range from gritty techno and futuristic electro to atmospheric ambient, always delivering emotionally rich experiences.

..A lucid dream is a dream in which a person becomes aware that he or she is dreaming and it becomes quite different from an ordinary dream.  For one thing It can be strikingly realistic to the point of producing a convincing replica of the normal physical world and for another it has its own psychological characteristics and range of emotional reactions which have to be considered independently of these experienced in normal dreaming..."

In the late 1960s, psychologists Celia Green and Charles McCreery published Lucid Dreams, a study exploring the paradox of consciousness during sleep, describing the possibility of conscious perception in dreams, often involving out-of-body experiences and hallucinations. Later, in the mid-90s, the UK ambient label EM:T released a minimalist ambient masterpiece titled Lucid Dreams, featuring texts and narration by Celia Green. Thanks to Astral Industries, this forgotten gem was reissued on vinyl a few years ago, in a deluxe edition with illustrations by the renowned Theo Ellsworth.

Several lucid dream sessions have been held by candlelight, featuring guests such as Ario, Camu, Coeval, Doozer, F-on, JL Maire, Urtzi, Patrick Russell, Vicki Siolos, SUNA, and most recently, Multicast Dynamics.

"Floating in an astral haze, where echoes dissolve and reappear - soft fractures of time bending into light. Melodies weave like distant tides, shifting without urgency, carrying you through unseen corridors. No gravity, no pulse, just the gentle drift of sound folding into silence, then back again."

Jay Keegan (@jaykeegan) is a passionate music lover, collector, and DJ living on the land of the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation (Sydney). He curates The Observatory (@thetheobservatory), a mix series exploring ambient and experimental music.

In an intricate lattice of ever-evolving electro exploration, Samuel Van Dijk (@mohlao) is back on Delsin with a new EP. Under his VC-118A alias, the Helsinki based producer presents a richly textured, cinematic strain of machine funk that reaches beyond dancefloor functionality to test the expressive potential locked within electro's crisp rhythmic framework.

There's a melancholic mood hovering over Avian as Van Dijk allows a subtle edge of distortion to creep into his flickering drum programming. The end result is a pensive sound that touches on the moodiness of orchestral composition, unfurling patiently across extended run times without losing focus. With his characteristic attention to detail and broad dynamic range, Van Dijk continues to offer up a sophisticated, emotionally-charged strain of electro like no other.

OUT April 10 on PHANTASY SOUND

"Detroit producer and DJ Sharif Laffrey provides one of the most memorable and original releases in Phantasy’s history, followed by a simmering take from the duo themselves.

Chugging with schizophrenic glee for nearly fifteen minutes, Laffrey masterfully combines his own flavour for obscurities and offbeat samples with no less than three tracks from the Cowboy Rhythmbox archive. Mixing element upon element into a somewhat absurdist masterpiece, this uncategorizable rework injects waves of weirdo energy and a little menace into the small hours..."

Our pick ‘Sharif Laffrey’s Deviation’ is a 14-minute reworking of Cowboy Rhythmbox's ‘Terminal Madness' EP, with it’s best elements stitched together in this Frankenstein’s monster of a  track"

Platter “A” delivers two juicy Balearic breakbeat burgers with a side of deep-fried techno, served very well done and dripping special sauce.

Option “B": For the health conscious, your choice of two cold-pressed smoothies: “Body of Water”, lightly acidified for good digestion, or the deeper cleanse of “On Spectrum”, high in aural fibre... Or have both at no extra cost!
