Ambient / Experimental Fall / winter 2022 - 23

2020 was the year that dancefloors emptied around the world. This episode is a tribute to club music that came out that year and didn’t test a sound system. In a fast paced, trend recycling environment, terms such as longevity and ephemerality gain a new meaning: how old or new is a tune that was released almost two years ago if you never danced to it? Props to all the producers and labels that kept the fire burning regardless of the unprecedented circumstances surrounding the culture world then and yet once again.

The latest instalment focuses on low end bpm juggling where anything goes below 100 and over 150. A Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde atmosphere, reflecting the optimism and dreams of a new year vs January’s blues amplified yet again by empty dance floors.

Halfway through the residency, this one focuses on percussive slicing and dicing, from ethereal and up-tempo to borderline bonkers, in the 100 -150 bpm vortex.

Next up: an introspective sonic narration informed by disheartening geopolitical affairs, blissful escapism, those voices in your head that keep you awake at night and the (mis)conception that everything – in the end – will be alright.

Taken from SBKT050: ABADIR - Mutate
Release date: 22nd July 2022

Marking the 50th release-proper on SVBKVLT, we are excited to present ‘Mutate’, a new album by ABADIR.

‘Mutate’ started when I was trying out Maqsoum loops at high bpm blended with Jungle tracks during one of my DJ sets. I noticed that the Maqsoum rhythm complements the Amen break in a refreshing way. The first time I actually tried integrating both in my productions using “call and response” was when Ice_Eyes asked me to remix one of their tracks. The result was the closest to what I had always imagined to be my own club sound.

I set out to make an album using the same technique with some of my favorite club genres. My aim was to mutate those genres, collecting different types of Arabic rhythms and cooking them with Jungle, Jersey Club, Reggaeton, Footwork, etc. It’s an irreversible equation, like a chemical reaction, where the output is a melted piece which cannot be broken down into its separate inputs. Instead of ‘deconstructing’ or generally looking beyond club music, I made some fatty, straight up dance floor music.’ – ABADIR

Mutate

ABADIR - Bass Belly

Dub music and its production values has been a well of inspiration for many a musical genre. This first episode is an homage to its footprint on techno, house and club music in general, and how a plethora of producers from different eras around the world interpreted its influence. Two hours of reverbs and delays, hisses and crackles, subtle variations and a sense of stasis not unlike autumn itself when there is a moment that time has almost frozen in its own melancholy.

To open the curtain, now as then, is Hålbë.

Jin Invites Series #2 
Cloud of the mystery: ARIO

— Artist Intro —

London-based Ario is a practitioner of deep and inquisitive music both as a DJ and curator of his label Astral Industries. 
Although his remit falls within the deeper shades of electronic music, his overall aesthetic draws on a broader spectrum that prizes the synthesis of both instrumental and electronic disciplines. 
Depending on context, he traverses the lines and forms between the ambient and techno worlds. What is common in each, however, is his alchemic handling of rich organicism mixed with darker, more austere sounds. 
Speaking with an emotive sensitivity, there is a certain self-awareness that permeates his crafted soundscapes, which are as much drone inspired as they are psychedelic and nature-driven.

Living Room n°43 ~ @george-silver-sound

q. pls introduce yourself
I'm George Silver (André Neves) musician and creator, from Barreiro Portugal.

q. is there a story behind the mix?
This mix is made entirely with my own music, through projects like Barata Cósmica, Lunnar Lhamas, Mayor of Vilnius, etc.

q. describe a favourite object in your living room...
My favourite object of the living room is a combination of my record player, because listening to music in a comfortable zone is an old habit.

q. are you working on any projects right now (music or not music)?
I'm always creating new projects, recently finishing my new album, and working on new ways of making live music.

Living Room n°43 ~ George Silver

I'm happy to finally share this journey, streamed on Radio Raheem during the latest UNIT episode.

For this one i decided, instead of mixing in the ‘classic way’, to create a sonic environment of more than 40 tracks; warping, ripping, and drawing details and frequencies from each one of them, creating 30 minutes of submerging sounds flow + one final credits track.

It’s probably one of my personal favorite works/experimentation i've ever done; sooo hope you'll enjoy it as i did while working on it.

Thanks to Ivo, Federico and Riccardo for the invitation <3

See you,
Matteo
