Italian duo Davide Perrone and Gabriele Giuggioli have been releasing music as Primal Code for 5 years now, consistently illustrating vivid atmospheric dub techno soundscapes with varying degrees of energy. 

With releases on Hypnus Records and Kalahari Oyster Cult, in addition to many VA compilations, the duo’s productions have become a staple in deep techno sets for the past few years.

Today we premiere their new track “Adansonia”, the opener from GLYPHS:WOOD, the next release on Polygonia’s Munich-based Qeone imprint. The track is more glitchy than the duo’s previous work, but features their signature sounds that are equal parts intergalactic, dreamy, aquatic.

“Adansonia” is now available for pre-order alongside the rest of the compilation, which can be pre-ordered digitally via Qeone’s Bandcamp page

Voyage (Balearic Mix)

Artist: @soelaela
Buy/Stream: www.linktr.ee/scissorandthread

Soela is the DJ and production alias of Elina Shorokhova, a Russia-born Berlin-based experienced pianist and vocalist who has made a hugely impactful transition into electronic music.

Having released material on such labels as Kompakt, Dial, Shall Not Fade, Lost Palms, E-Beamz, Red Ember Records, Sushitech, and others, Soela joins the ranks of Scissor & Thread for this exquisite album - Dark Portrait. 

The album opens in a typically understated manner with Unsuitable - a melancholic trip-hop adjacent track that sets the tone for the next 8 pieces. As Soela explains, “I was dealing with some very complex feelings, so I came up with this album, which helped me not to despair, to work on myself, to grow internally, and to start listening to myself. It helped me to keep sane when my country invaded Ukraine with a full scale war. It absolutely broke my heart, and music was one of my main salvations.” 

This complex mix of emotions plays out across the album with tracks that utilize her beautiful musicality (Through the Windows feat. Francis Harris and Philipp Priebe, Drowning feat. Module One) and ear for details with skittering beats, ambient soundscapes (Spirits, Lost In The Fog) and lose-yourself dancefloor moments such as the collaboration with Lawrence on February Is Not Going To Be Forever. The title track Dark Portrait combines dubby elements with affecting pads and melodic touches, while the lead single Even If I Ask You Stay delves into multiple feelings around escaping toxic situations, and battling depression. It features a powerful vocal from Soela supported by a deeply affecting arrangement. The closing track The Darkest Hour Before Sunrise brings a sense of hope and light, balancing subdued keys and strings with ethereal tones and atmospheres

Alpha 606 Remixed for 2016 on Interdimensional Transmissions, with a visionary remix from Anthony “Shake” Shakir, a secret dance floor anthem that works in almost any context from BMG and a beautiful spaced out take on “Electronic Flotation Device” by Erika. This was the last record mastered by Mark Richardson at Prairie Cat Mastering. All tunes from the lost Alpha 606 LP “Afto-Cuban Electronics”. 

Miami post bass from a Cuban perspective. What is it to be an exile of the country you love? The largely Cuban city Hialeah, part of the sprawling Miami metropolis, is home to not only Alpha 606’s exiled family, but also to Miami Bass.

"A futuristic homage to Cuban culture, fusing warm machine tones and crisp bass notes with Afro-Cuban drums." - Miami New Times

In 2008, IT signed Miami based electronic musician & live percussionist Armando Martinez, best known as Alpha 606. Born in Miami to Cuban immigrants, he is a multitalented multi instrumentalist. His innovation is in blending the varied history of Electro, 20th Century Avant Garde and his native Cuban influences, ranging from the ritual music of Santeria to the Afro Cuban highs of 1930's Havana. With this stew of influences, he creates a dense and colorful sound, melding advanced electronics with intricately played live hand drums. His style is the definition of a new sound, known as Electrónica Afro-Cubano.

"The name Alpha-606 is a hybrid of Alpha 66, the anti-Castro freedom fighting group, and the Roland TR-606 synthesizer machine. I'm just anti-Castro by myself. But I don't put much effort into it."    - Armando Martinez
