Waveguide might seem like a new artist addition to a.r.t.less’ roster, but it’s Mojuba’s japanese mainstay Stereociti presenting his new alter ego focussing on Techno side of things. In contrast to Stereociti Waveguide is approaching different methods in sound design and actual composition ranging back to the raw energy of the very beginning of Ken Sumitani’s musical journey.
Quod EP starts off with the title track and immerges you instantly into a sonic sea of swirling repetitive chords, riding on the wave of a steady ever forwarding bass tone carried by the steady kick and graced with echoing synth stabs and syncopated hats along the way.
The second track Tightrope is raising the tempo propels you right into to space on a funky broken beat lurching through space debris and stardust while catch glimpses of beautiful supernovas while trying to elude those gravitational forces caused by black holes.
Lemma the EP’s third title is carrying on the tempo and the broken funk if its predecessor but delivers a friendlier outlook with whirling and swelling melodies, like it wants to prepare you for the final adventure of this tonal journey.
Cubic Root closes out the first Waveguide mission on Mojuba sub label a.r.t.less with an orchestra of tripping acid basslines accompanied by dripping like synth leads exploring the polymetric realm of Techno in an always evolving echo chamber. As usual we love to encourage you to discover the tunes for your self and let the music do the talking, enjoy!

AM-003 - Cyphon & Obzerv (Live)

The American cable-television industry exploded in the 1980s, pushing broadcasts of diverse programming and emissions of low-laying cultures into homes. Community stations piggybacked on the digital developments of the time, extending their existence through telephony and broadcast affiliates. For those growing up in this time, in locations such as New York City, the localized communications beamed into their homes exposed them to an impressionable array of disparate sounds and visions. Move into the 1990s and New York was filled to the brim of emergent cultures drawing from this ebullition of communication. From Rammellzee’s shapeshifting to Frank and Karen Mendez’s Nu Groove imprint fusing reggae, poetry and house, nascent ideas emanated from the city walls, from within stores such as Sonic Groove store and on VHS releases such as Stakker’s The Evil Acid Baron Show, a legendary technicolor psychedelic trip along the wildest frontiers of acid house. As scenes expanded and identities developed, such individuals weather the events of the visceral now, expressing themselves right into an unpredictable future.

Function’s long career has seen him uncover a vast range of sonic identities, a mainstay through house, techno and industrial with collaborations with the likes of Regis, Damon Wild alongside his highly influential Infrastructure imprint. With influences deeply tied to pop art, rave and gay scenes, and early memories of block-parties emitting Kraftwerk and Strafe, he found himself seeking out the undercover illegal nights of the 90s on a quest of sexual unearthing, mixing the ever-yearning escapology mission of disco with the influential DJ sets of Jeff Mills. For his new album Existenz, he marks a clear step away from the corporeal techno of his recent releases. Pivoting around themes of religion, sexuality, trauma and healing, it is a work expansive and celebratory, a clear liberation from a deeply internalized past. Formed from a collection of recordings made in a period from late 2016 to mid 2019, Existenz takes the form of a creative outburst in reaction to a number of traumas - recent, childhood and throughout Function’s life.

Cosmic synths soar and swoop in ‘Pleasure Discipline’ through towering stacks of rhythm that stutter and creak to a halt before rebooting, a firm robotic response to human intervention. ‘Zahlensender’ reflects a spatial tetris of urban life, as digitalization set within an XYZ matrix confronts the sprawling city. Constant arpeggiated meditations echo synaptic transmissions, effecting a dissolution of boundaries. ’The Approach’ recalls the unification of the self, a state of delirium non-subjective and smooth, as all connections and functions give way to simple intensities of feeling, crossing the threshold into spirituality. ’Golden Dawn’, featuring Stefanie Parnow, marks a further elevation of dubbed-out euphoria, as once more positive rays emerge. Parnow assisted the production process in its entirety, providing inspiration and featuring vocal contributions. His ode to the effortless short-trip urban navigation 'Kurzstrecke' finds Function in motion, upfront and bold, snapshots of conversation and flickers of light. 'Ertrinken' finds metallic bass jabs swamping snipped synthetic voices, with hidden stores of emotion set as a nod to the history of vocoders as a tool for encrypted military communication. House icon Robert Owens features on 'Growth Cycle' and 'Be', entrenching a celebratory atmosphere over Function's clubwise leanings. Closing track 'Downtown 161' reflects the unmistakable filtered and squashed interjections of television, and sampled dance vocals - a sound for the curious, dreamers and dancers.

With Existenz, Function reveals an essential body of work, spread over 4LP/2CD - thought experiments on the role of identity and spirituality after a lifetime of upheaval and trauma.

Kajunga is proud to release unheard material from the wise and honorable Heckadecimal. “Critters” is a collection of 5 unique hardware built tracks that scurry from moody and contemplative to charged and frantic.

“Bat Silk Stunt” starts the record off with resonant acid bass lines creeping through a rich forest of analog drums. “D’etre” shifts the tone into a pool of moody progressions, dissonant sequences, and syncopated grooves. Living up to it’s namesake, “Acid Tenders” provides an exciting exploration of unbridled 303 energy. “Digital Foam” picks up the pace with frantic and squiggly textures that skitter about as a deranged synth-line takes command. “The Luminous Flesh of Giants” rounds out the journey with a 4/4 crawl through wistful melodies and iridescent chords.

Inside your Mind EP 

Keith wanted to explore more in depth more sounds for dance-floor oriented tracks with added space sounds from the future! Adaptation is a more sound design oriented, Robotique electronique goes hand in hand with Riding the cosmos , more spaced out acid electro! Title track inside your mind something for the listener to get lost in.

Please note Mojuba Records and its sub labels are currently NOT looking for DEMOs!

Music for people on dance floors and in living rooms.

Mojuba est. 2005 as a platform for the sweet sounds from the realm of deep house, but you know exception proves the rule. a.r.t.less is the outlet for the techno side of things, it is very likely to find some Detroit related sounds here. wandering music one of the younger members in the label-family is a platform for any other kind of great music which might not necessarily fit the other two labels so you can expect tracks and songs ranging from freaking minimal to modern classical or even experimental stuff everything can happen, there are no rules!
