Thrills

Undermining

We are pleased to present a series of podcast called "QRNTN PDCST" to fight against this isolation, delivering a set from the hand of a special selection of electronic artists. Today our fourth set will be delivered from one of our guest artist, Johan Sebastian.

Johan Sebastian is a Colombian-born, Spanish-raised artist, whose early years in the electronic music scene started in the south of Spain at a young age. After moving to London, his sound and vision began to consolidate, his performances enabled him to move around the capital and other cities in Europe. The UK-based label, Platform 22, was the first label to release his productions earlier this year. His sound is fast paced, moody, hypnotic, and rhythmic, with a touch of 90s sonic inspiration.

We hope to make these tough times more enjoyable, using the sensory power of music to keep our minds distracted while at the same time connecting with people's feelings through the power of techno.

QRNTN PDCST - Johan Sebastian

The Attic Music label strives to keep us dancing in these difficult times with a new EP from red hot young Portuguese talent Nørbak featuring a remix from the label’s owner Fabrizio Lapiana. 

Over the last four years, Artur Moreira has quickly established his avant-garde techno sound on labels like Semantica, Soma, Warm Up Recordings and his own label, Hayes. Always exploring the deep and dark end of the spectrum, he has picked up props from the likes of Oscar Mulero and Dasha Rush while going on to establish his name around Europe with killer sets at places like Tresor in Berlin. 

The excellent 'Pledge I' opens up with a menacing groove that burrows late into an underground cavern. It sounds earthy and organic and the rock solid kick drums get you into a state of hypnosis while the scurrying synths add more details in which to get lost. 'Pledge II' is another masterfully heady and journeying track that layers up more rubbery, propulsive kick drums with fizzing, electrified synth sounds and pads that encircle you and get you into a state of trance. It's hugely warm and atmospheric. 

Over the last decade, Lapiana and his label have become synonymous with evocative techno soundscapes on the finest labels around. Here he serves up a remix of 'Pledge III' that is perfectly smooth and seductive, with soft, looping melodic phrases slowly shapeshifting and melting your mind as they do so. The drums burrow deep into the night and make this a timeless minimal techno classic.  Last of all, 'Pledge IV' is a silky techno track that rolls to infinity, with cosmic pads and subtle melodies all weaving around each other and tying your brain in knots.  

This is another tasteful EP of high grade techno that works mind, body and soul.

The Portugese Rita Maomenos is a Rotterdam based dj and producer who is drawn to hypnotic sounds and obscure atmospheres. Her journey started when she played at underground raves in Mannheim (Germany) and ever since she worked hard to further develop herself as an artist. This resulted in her being a former host on Frission Radio and releases on LXVIII and Trau-ma.

For Salon 007 she aimed for a sinister adventure which consists of otherworldly dystopian sounds. This has led to an atmosphere in which you can drift away with a well found balance between straightforward 4x4 and off-beat lows.

Romain Richard is a young French artist based in Barcelona who has quickly begun to climb the ranks in the music scene thanks to his productions and contributions for different labels, in addition to this, great artists have decided to make remixes for him.

We are very happy to have his work within ANAOH, we have received a release of the highest quality, a perfect combination between the classic sound of Detroit and the new wave of futuristic and spatial techno, when listening to it it is impossible not to think about the face techno groove from the 90s but with a vision of new horizons.

Fixon picks up the pace in his remake of '' Big Bang ''. Uplifting tempos, hard kicks, liquid stabs and sharp cymbals. Going straight to the percussive madness and spicing it up with a few liquid components, in a more minimal but forceful version.
