One of New York´s emerging modern Techno king pins, Etai returns to Octopus with a typically raw and effortlessly functional EP. Thick beats and atmospheric lightning bolt stabs define a sound that has come to represent all that is achingly cool about the 5 boroughs.

Etai Tarazi - Genesis - Octopus Recordings

Relentlessly energetic techno crew !Organism are back with a new EP of searing sounds, this time from young Italian Uakoz, who serves up two originals and gets remixed by Dangeli and Snello.

Uakoz has been DJing and producing since 2007, has been supported by plenty of key players and works with the likes of Italo Business, Selected Records and many more. 

His first track here, ‘Bad Situation’ is a firmly rooted, mid tempo bit of techno with whispered vocals and watery droplets adding a sense of atmosphere to the driving groove. Percussive stutters and smeared pads add more layers of heat to what is a finely controlled bit of work. 

Italian Snello sets to work remixing and opts to take the track down a deep, dubby and stripped back route. His chords are soothing and smooth and the drums are subliminal and frictionless as they fluidly glide along. 

‘Blame Me’ is then a humid, high pressure track with urgent stabs, rubber kicks and female coos all underpinned by some monstrous bass. It barrels along with a full blooded personality and is sure to standout come the weekend. 

Closing out this all Italian affair is Dangeli, who strips things back to a thumping, dark drum line, manic Plastikman percussive stylings and industrial sound design that really jumps out of the speakers. 

Heavyweight techno funk never sounded better than in the hands of this talented crew.

!62 : Uakoz - Blame Me (Original Mix)

"A remix package which well represent the multifaceted approach of Midgar to techno. Edit-Select opens with a long and groovy rework of 'Lost In The Instability', keeps the peculiar synth & basslines of the original cut, and goes further, carrying those elements to deeper dimensions. Synthek delivers a stabbing remix of 'Nibelheim', a killer techno cut where powerful broken beats continuously crash into the heaviest sonic waves. 'Alba' was originally an interlude solely composed of ambient sounds and ephemeral voices, which evolved with Luigi Tozzi's interpretation into a sweet and melancholic trip. Wata Igarashi to close the record, re-imagines 'Pulse Width' as a mind-stressing experience held in a frame of hollow drones"

The newest entry in the Monad series comes courtesy of the French duo Charlotte Isabelle; and behind this unassuming name there lies an immediately perceptible depth and innovation. With a determined yet unpredictable approach that evokes the history of their home country’s creative avant-gardes, they deliver a uniquely organic electronic music that seems as if it has been finely aged for years in oak barrels rather than residing on a computer’s hard drive. This tension between atmospheres of ultra-modernism and pre-industrial craftsmanship makes for an intriguing listening experience from beginning to finish.
The leadoff track for their Monad contribution, “Anaba,” is an excellent introduction to their aesthetic, with the beat galloping along like some ingenious steam-powered contraption. A vocabulary of hisses and metallic hits adds to this feeling of an alternate history of technology, while creeping bass sequences keep the listener anchored in the present day. In the grand Monad tradition, it’s a danceable piece of storytelling. “Geridoo” continues this adventure in a slower tempo, with more steam rising up from Charlotte Isabelle’s machinery and with snare drum rolls snapping the listener to attention. A multi-layered droning undulates all around this percussive framework, making for an exquisite balance of the ethereal and the solid.
By the third track (“Desba”), the rhythms and environmental loops become more distinctly ritualistic and archaic, revealing Charlotte Isabelle’s skill as sonic time travelers. Tactile scrapings and distant vocal-like emissions point to an archaeological exercise carried out with beats and tones as the main exploratory tools.
After this excursion, the duo closes the EP with an immersive piece of stellar ambience that comes from an unknown time and place: an alien transmission that is the perfect capstone to a recording which, to this point, has kept its imagination tethered to the Earth. By the time the last glimmers of this track fade away, it’s clear that Charlotte Isabelle knows how to tap electronic music’s unlimited potential for fascination.

"Contains elements of "Le bruit d'une porte qui... "

After 2 revered releases since the turn of the year, Weekend Circuit return, welcoming Alfredo Mazzilli for his first EP on the imprint. Versatile in sound and challenging in his approach, Alfredo’s ‘Invisible Entity’ EP masterfully pushes ambitious ideas with great vigor to an international audience ever more ready to listen.

With artists such as Donato Dozzy, Aphex Twin, Sandwell District, Dino Sabatini and Substance making up a strong part of his most notable influencers, Alfredo favours the ambient & deep depths of the dark side of techno.
Enigmatic and unrestricted, Side A starts with Alfredo's original "Invisible Entity". A steadily unfolding juggernaut, the emerging energy soon engulfs the entirety of the track, percussian transcending the gloaming synth sound throughout.

Zadig's beckoning bass and kick drum driven remix will see sonic nods across the club with this four-on-the-floor gristle. "Statiform Region" is techno's answer to a cinematic interlude. A testament to Alfredo's lilting synth ability.

"No Way Out" kicks off the B side, with a algorithmic tinkering of sonic vs low hits and stabs. Rounding up, Echologist does what Echologist does best; a scattershot of intertwined and precarious techno sound, spliced with industrialised power.

A creative, radical, and emotionally skittering 13th release from Weekend Circuit, which will be released in stores worldwide on 25th July 2016.

"Behind The Eyes" premiered at Billboard – find personal thoughts from P.A.S. on the behinds of the track at http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/dance/7495876/planetary-assault-systems-behind-the-eyes-premiere-dance

After 22 light-years Luke Slater’s Planetary Assault Systems keeps exploring space and time with different musical means. Staying true to the project’s initial mission statement, Slater comments on the new yet familiar musical direction: “For me music has to go forward. I’d feel I was cheating by sticking to tried and tested formulas. There’s a valid use for these, but this album has its own agenda.” With ‘Arc Angel’, Planetary Assault Systems departs to new musical frontiers by focussing on melody, but staying rooted in the purist values of Techno that Slater shaped over his decades- and generations-spanning career.

VIKEN ARMAN - Red( Amram Solar re)

Agnosia project began four years ago, they been influenced by different sound styles, from 90’s Shoegaze till contemporary Ambient and Techno.

Looking for a melancholic sound, they swim into distortioned melodies, mixing progressive and quiet grooves, swallowing you to a metaphorical trip inside the mind of the main character of the story in every release, using the thoughts as the principal way of expression.

The link between music and artworks to their ephemeral manoeuvres, is the principal feature reflected on the label, practicing a musical language through walls of sound and the personal feelings of Agnosia.

In every release, Ephemeral Manoeuvres, will count with a new artist who can change the script to make a new variation for the end of the story. In “Anatomy of Melancholia”, Ness joins the record, creating a daydreamed way of escape for the main character of the story, who’s trapped in his own mind exploration about the loss of a beloved person.

https://soundcloud.com/blndr : Drone Capacity E.P.
Natch Elements debut with Drone Capacity Ep by the uprising deep techno talent BLNDR. The french producer delivers 4 cuts delineating the primary label's aesthetics, additionally twisted up and remixed by label boss Synthek and compatriot Hydrangea. The record's intro is the ethereal Temples and Mothership, welcoming the listener to a sonic journey which takes the first beat/steps with Wandering Soul. This second cut is made out of fragmented drums alternating a solid kick and delayed vocals. Closing the first side, we find the powerful Drone Capacity, track which gives the title to the release, setting the pace higher and bringing a significant amount of energy in the game. On the flipside, the mystical groove of Silent Quest reveals some deep jungle's secrets and leaves the closing duties to razor-sharp Synthek remix of Drone Capacity which reworks the original elements adding heavy pressure and dancefloor vibes. Left out of the vinyl length the beautiful atmospheric rework of the evergrowing Hydrangea, drawing an alternative, more spacious and organic vision of SIlent Quest. This last cut will be available for free download in the same time of the physical release. NTCEL01 sow the seeds of a new catalogue that supports artists with certain attention for deep and detailed compositions.
