Co-founder of grassroots rave collective Fast Forward Productions, Sugar drops four-track EP ‘Everything Changes’ with Bassiani Records: a confident rallying cry fitting for the future his Danish crew is fervently building. Intro ‘Dismal Supper’ is a layered beast with a bellicose bassline cut with sinister whale song. The EP’s namesake a looping, metallic and agile production while its successor, ‘May the Colours Make You Fearful’, mixes Vangelis-style synths and assertive rhythm to strange industrial effect. Fast-Forward’s very own Schacke accelerates the EP’s opening track and lends it an atmospheric touch for closing. ‘Everything Changes’ is a pulsating release which spans moods yet holds true to Sugar’s signature dancefloor sound.

Pre-order

A1. Sugar - Dismal Supper

Artist: Avilynn
Title: Five Million Sunsets EP
Label: Taisha Records
Catalogue No: TAI002
Release Date: 15th December 2021
Format: Vinyl, Digital

Berlin’s Avilynn delivers the ‘Five Million Sunsets’ EP this December, accompanied by a remix from Ostgut Ton’s Answer Code Request.

As a follow-up to the debut EP on Taisha entitled Anaesthesia, Avilynn is back with another dynamic four track EP in the shape of ‘Five Million Sunsets’. Once again showcasing Avilynn’s diverse production style across three originals, while Techno titan Answer Code Request turns in an interpretation employing his typically twisted and intricate style.

‘Why So Serious’ opens the project and focuses on dynamically evolving and unfurling drums, plucked synths and modulating percussion while expansive reverberations and nuanced echoes further instil dynamism throughout. Answer Code Request steps up next, shifting the focus to an industrial feel aesthetically,
twisting elements of the original’s synthesis and high-octane drums into an ominous, subtly unfolding take on things.

Opening the flip-side is title-cut ‘Five Million Sunsets’ which sees Avilynn explore a more textural landscape, dropping the tempo significantly and introducing circling dub chords, earthy sub tones and menacing bass swells throughout. Last up to round out the release is ‘Your Eye Was Bigger Than The Other One’, here Avilynn focuses her musical theme around “a trippy experience where the person has a distorted reality’’, the composition laid out across three and a half minutes melds together choppy broken drums, eerie tones and bubbling synths alongside gritty distorted moments and metallic chimes.

MOTZ Premiere: Avilynn - Why So Serious(Answer Code Request Remix)

Propulsive techno solicitations are abounding on Ideoma, the debut EP from Oscean, a collaboration from Sebastián Galante, also known as Seph, and Andrés Zacco. The two are figureheads of Argentina's techno sound, with releases on labels such as Insurgentes, Echocord Colour and Illian Tape over the last decade.

Galante and Zacco join forces for the first time with inspiring effects, moving forward with vast paces, unshifting footsteps, with uneven prisms of electronic rhythm. Its direct intent and crisp sonic detail conjure a cinematic and nocturnal drive, unearthing subterranean pulses that leave all in its wake.

With Ideoma, Tresor Records presents a whirlwind of dense movement and cosmic energy that twists on percussive bends and distorting spirits. Spiral recalls natural phenomena, bound tight, with a rugged texture like no other, as flickers of sound processing suggest lift-off. The flanging Feral exudes a potent demeanour, wicked and unceasing. The ebbing melodics of Spacion hark back to 90s ambient techno and yet possessing a rhythmic cut and thrust that navigates unchartered terrain. Transmuting beyond planet earth, further into the extra-terrestrial, Galante and Zacco mask fractal brushstrokes with hurrying rhythms. They smear primitive and sharp sonics, pressed with dizzying resilience. The nosediving FM synths of Austraal beckon a haunting trip, cloaked in a trance of motion and forever eschewing all prediction.

Delsin marks its milestone 150th release in a rainstorm of gorgeous arps with a full EP from @Voiski. For Luc Kheradmand it’s a return to the label which carried his 2020 collaboration with Wata Igarashi and where he issued early single Breaths Written Outside Gloom. For Delsin it’s the perfect way to sum up different dimensions of the label’s identity – richly melodic, machine-powered and yet distinct from any illusion of a typical ‘Delsin sound’.

The End Of Fiction EP marks a new chapter in Kheradmand’s approach and intention. His prolific back catalogue reaches back across countless releases for labels like L.I.E.S., Dekmantel UFO, Bassiani and his own Super 95. Here his established overdriven snarl is tempered, but not at the expense of the energy and emotion readily associated with his music.

There’s a trace of trance and early Detroit about the powerful lead lines on ‘Blazing Star’ and ‘Hazy Suns’, while ‘Unreality’ basks in blissful acid and ‘Ideodelika’ charts a course through progressive, psychedelic techno. The End Of Fiction still bristles with the peak time energy Voiski is often known for, but it’s the melodies which dominate the overall narrative as he sets out a renewed clarity in his sound.

Next up in the Fast Forward Audio Series, we present: Nakamo

Nakamo's sound drifts through different worlds and eras, merging driving techno, melodic textures, and nostalgic grooves with a futuristic twist.

Nakamo started her DJ journey in 2020 across the North London party scene, crafting podcasts over lockdown for London-based techno collectives. She made her debut at award-winning artist-led space and nightclub FOLD. Since then, the recent newcomer has already made a strong name for herself, having played at well-respected events in the capital, such as HTBX, HOWL, UNFOLD as well as making her European debut at the mighty Ved Siden Af in Copenhagen earlier last year.

Enjoy!
