Electro Machine Funk

Superacid

Seasoned heads may already be aware of dynArec. The project of one Chris Kalera, dynArec has been a force in the electro underground for more than two decades at this point, releasing numerous records and helming the Vaporwave label to boot. He has marked himself out as a purveyor of top-quality machine-funk during his career, a producer who runs with the spirit of Detroit to craft club traxx of wicked intensity.

After a period of relative quiet in the late 2010s, Kalera has roared back into action recently, with a run of releases emerging in 2021 and 2022 across labels including Cultivated Electronics, Superluminal and Umwelt’s New Flesh. Now the Vaporwave Records founder takes his Central Processing Unit bow with the Force In The Sum EP, and his hard-hitting electro style is immediately at home on the Sheffield imprint.

Force In The Sum commences with ‘A Dispatching Role’, a track where eerie vocal snippets and delay-drenched anti-melodies cluster around a volatile low-end wobble and crisp 808 snap. It’s equal-parts ominous and invigorating, kind of like the Thom Yorke of ‘Kid A’ times if he’d been granted an audience with Gerald Donald. ‘A Dispatching Role’ is prime slalom music, and the mood carries through to following cut ‘Stabilized’. After a stentorian opening of unerring kick drums and fizzing keys, ‘Stabilized’ soon blooms into a retro-futurist robo-electro joint which comes off like a more textured iteration of Unit Moebius.

Things open up a little more on first B-side ‘Canonical Form’ - at least, they do before the track’s pretty opening flushes are interrupted by a vicious blurting bassline reminiscent of, say, Jensen Interceptor. There are no broken beats here, the track’s unyielding four-on-the-floor thud pushing the joint a little more towards techno mode than the A-side jams. This straight beat remains on Force In The Sum closer ‘Classification Of Elements’, with sputtering hi-hats playing off the groovy pings of the synths to devilishly danceable effect. Slip-sliding saw sounds and spine-tingling, almost ‘X-Files’-esque lead lines enter to up the ante, but the mood shifts after dynArec starts to lace lush chordal stabs and delay-drenched modular runs through the track. All the while, a voice repeats the mantra “what matters is the sound” - and who could deny the truth in this statement?

dynArec’s prolific recent run continues with the four track Central Processing Unit debut Force In The Sum. Tense, expansive and worldbuilding, this is wickedly danceable electro done right. Truly, what matters is the sound.

Wavelet is the aka under which the Valencian DJ Mário Ortega hides. He is characterised for being a faithful defender and activist of Electro in all its aspects (having a special interest in combining this style with styles such as IDM) as well as vinyl format.

His interest in electronic music began in the 90's influenced by the sound of labels such as Warp, Skam, Direct Beat or Electron Industries. Later it was labels like Touchin`Bass, Ai Records or SCSI-AV that were carving his style as a DJ until 2013 when he finally decided to take the leap to the decks.

His career has always been largely linked to the Valencian collective Hypnotica Colectiva (HC), being a member of the radio platform "Electronic Café Radio" for three years and being organized and resident of the HC We Are The Robots (W.A.T.R) parties from 2014 to the present.

On the other hand, since 2014, it is common to find Wavelet in the booths of some of the main clubs in the city of Valencia leading him to share the bill with artists such as ADJ, Carl Finlow, Boris Divider or Umwelt among others.

He currently runs with Sigma_Algebra the label Tensor Norm, whose second vinyl release was released at the end of this year (see bit.ly/3KImm3s for more information).

Roulette Rekordz has been a home for misfits, freaks and special characters since its creation. So when Nachtwald sent me his demo, I immediately felt a connection.

Johnny Hoorneboeg is a bit of a mystery to me, he seems rather young and quite shy but his music sounds like from a veteran from the Bunker/Den Haag crew. He does not talk much and does not use social media but acts in a goofy troll-esque way. I dont know much else, he seems to spend all his time doing music in his home of Nieuw-Loosdrecht.

At least you can tell he's coming from The Netherlands... but he sounds more like the sweaty nights of the dirty brown and miserable city than the trendy parties of the capital.

6 tracks of 5 AM music, when the dancefloor is cleared and you only see ghosts through a wall of smoke pulsating to music you never heard before but always knew about...

The next release on Ara-u’s No Static / Automatic comes from Konerytmi aka Kiril Junolainen. The Konerytmi project began in 2020 combining electro, techno and acid sounds with a gliding and clean-edged production aesthetic. On Moottoritie EP he channels in the energy and flow of traversing the speed-limitless autobahn while giving a cool nod to the aesthetic of Scandinavian electro sounds a la Stilleben Records.

Step into the heart of the mysterious Black Forest. Anchored by the deep, primal hum of the didgeridoo, this release blurs the lines between ancient traditions and modern soundscapes.

Featuring transformative remixes by Khey Mysterio, alkemia, and AJO’s enigmatic alter ego Kalocain, each track offers a unique journey through shadowy groves and luminous clearings.

A Benumbed Waiting is a ruthless odyssey where reality bends and the rhythm of chaos takes hold. This Limited Edition Cassette album contains 15 tracks featuring an unholy marriage of Barcelona’s underground stew and international artists who somehow know exactly how to make pulsating noise feel like liberation.

The compilation oozes grit and mad creativity, from deep acid basslines to harsh industrial textures, wonky bass explosions and driving electro rhythms.

Also: Fuck Trump. Fuck Musk. Fuck Putin. Fuck Netanyahu.
Fuck Abascal. Fuck Wilders.
May they all burn in the lake of fire, forever.

Support your local scenes.
Peace.
