After the release of Redox, which focused on the Open Music Lab’s 5-month music production course, Berlin’s Open Music Lab is back with a second release, Quanta. The OML label was born out of a supportive community of creatives from various backgrounds and abilities. It offers an opportunity for people to engage with unique blends of musical sounds that are enriched by different cultures and lived experiences.

Quanta showcases the music and work of some of OML’s most committed students and mentors. This unique release shows the range of talent at OML and the musical bond and creative collaboration that comes out of the community. Each track on the release is produced by an OML student and is accompanied by a remixed version from their mentors.

The first mentor and student pairs include Syria-born Fahd aka Tarabalsi, one of OML’s first students, and African Acid’s cofounder Dauwd. Fahd came to Germany as a young unaccompanied minor from Syria and has been a driving force between the school's growth. They worked on a track a few years back at Dauwd’s studio and recently re-visited it as a collaboration for this release. This is a deeply personal track, with lyrics recorded by Fahd singing “mum, where are we going”. In Fahd’s own words, the track is an “afro/oriental mix”, taking influences from both of their backgrounds, and playing around with African and Eastern instruments.

For the second duo, we have morphena and Leibniz. Argentinian-born emerging DJ and producer morphena has been a long-time student of OML and recently started becoming a mentor herself for new students. While studying at OML, she developed a strong musical connection with German DJ and producer Leibniz, who’s been a mentor in the OML community since the beginning. They teamed up on an acid, d&b, trance track for the release. Morphena describes the track as her first production where she can “imprint a hybrid between a club track and a song”. While keeping the lyrics as the main focus of the track, Leibniz gave more of a UK garage vibe to his remix.

The last duo is made of Abed Alfakir, another former OML student and new mentor from Syria, and renowned techno producer UVB. Abed was on the 5-month music production course and had UVB as a mentor and teacher. Abed always looked up to Sebastian and is a huge fan of the techno music he is producing. Abed’s track is a dark and driving techno track, into which he instilled a compelling melody, giving it a very catchy feel. For his remix, UVB played around with as many elements of the original track as possible while adding some of his own drums to give it a unique flair.

xpedient - E0010 (Shelley Parker Remix) [Entangled Visions]

Toronto-based musician David Psutka aka ACT! (fka Egyptrixx / Anamai / Ceramic TL) returns with a stunning debut album, ‘Strange Bounty / About Life’ on his own Halocline Trance imprint - out on the 3rd June. 

Speaking about the record Psutka (ACT!) says, “‘Strange Bounty / About Life’ is in some ways my most refined record. The previous period of solo material was quite experimental and spontaneous, whereas this was written slowly and with more intentionality, and as a result, feels very clarified. Robin Dann of Bernice, and Alanna Stuart of Bonjay both contributed lovely vocal work to the record and it was written and performed primarily on guitar. I think it is fair to call this an 'experimental guitar record’.”

The album showcases a new aesthetic for the ACT! project, leaning more towards psychedelic and ecstatic groove - feelings of familiarness and warmth running throughout. 

On the latest single to be released from the album, ‘Lotto’, calls you to attention right away with the dizzying pinball sound before leading into an ethereal guitar riff and silky vocals. The track showcases the two opposing sides to ACT!’s sound where the softness echoes through via the buttery voice whilst hard electronic instrumentation stutters underneath.

Psyche. Transmissions w. Ephacy - 14 June 2022

Album Title: Chromatic Stimulations
Label: Self Learning System

Release date: 14.10.2022

Within just one year, the Leipzig-based label Self Learning System has established itself as a serious and cheeky contender in the electro scene, and the third release aims to live up to this claim once again. DJ Unisex surprises with Chromatic Stimulations, as his four otherworldly tracks unfold a no-frills attitude on par with a trippy sound design between a revealing in and outro. This EP is not afraid to present raw and unsettling machine noises and rather revels in the bubble bath of reverberating and resonating synths from late night hardware sessions. 

Desire [ 136 bpm ] Don't be misled by the early onset synth pads, DESIRE is a disturbingly catchy bass monster of an electro track. 

Observer T - 8EM [ 132 bpm ] A perfect example of how a minimal club electro track doesn't have to be complex to make your body bang to it. 

Electro Techno Freaks! [ 136 bpm ] DJ Unisex screws a smacking bass into your auditory nervous system again and uses only selected inorganic ingredients. 

Instrumental C.03 [ 141 bpm ] You came for the machine funk but you'll stay for the blinding trip. Secret tip. 

SELF003 comes again with stunning artwork painted by Dominik Widmann himself. Included as A2 inlay print in every record.
