This track is so mesmerizing - really needs an extended cut! I love the lyrics and the sleep deprived energy!

Глубина души-soul deep

Berlin resident Anastasia Vtorova aka Machine Woman follows up her ‘For Sweden’ 12” on Peder Mannerfelt with two new cuts for Where To Now? Records, accompanied by an expansive and sprawling remix from Kassem Mosse.

Machine Woman is beginning to cement herself as a rather unique figure in the world of Techno. Her music is undoubtedly brutalist, functional, industrial, and stripped back for the most basic of heads down body movement, but there’s a persistent seductive, soulful, and human element to her work which is in a state of constant interplay with this idea of the ‘Machine Woman’ - an approach which is undoubtedly inspired by the pioneers of man vs. machine music - Kraftwerk.

‘Genau House’ opens with the 11 minute ‘I can mend your broken heart’. Shuffling percussion struts alongside a myriad of synthesized melodies and the sound of data processing. For Anastasia, the track is inspired by unsuccessful Tinder dates, and the yearning lyrical content of the tracks certainly laments the implications of this perhaps often mechanical and rigid love seeking world against an honest and seeking heart – A Machine Music space to explore the increasingly common impact of disposable Computer Love colliding head on with a legitimate longing and want for lasting human connection.

‘Friday Night’ encompasses a similar vocal mantra but here the focus is not so much on the intricacies of the human heart, but rather the seduction, enthrallment, and sometimes unfortunate exclusivity inherent in sectors of the Berlin nightlife. Undoubtedly a track aimed towards the pitch-black nightclub ‘Friday Night’ is stricter in its intention, with less space for romanticism. An unrelenting Techno thud grinds with the mechanical shifting of gears and movement to create the desired hypnotic state whilst Anastasia’s heavily treated vocals plume the melody into even darker recesses of the dancefloor.

Kassem Mosse makes an appearance to close the record with his own incredible interpretation of ‘I can mend your broken heart’. To call this a remix is a discredit to Kassem’s ability to completely transform a work into his own whilst staying respectful to the original artists intention. Much like his interpretation of Simone White’s ‘Flowers in May’ (Honest Jons, 2015) Kassem takes the vocal line of the original and sets it against a deep, sprawling, immersive soundscape of his own. Over it’s 10+ minutes a Deepchord style dubwise basin of echo and melody lingers behind the deepest Trip-Hop style palette of slow, churning, and intricately evolving percussion.

“Machine Woman draws upon her foundations in ‘90s Leningrad and the hardest edge of her new home city’s industrial scene to forge a raw, buzzing, and brutalist style working on the cusp of dance functionality and avant-garde, tonal exploration. – Boomkat.”

White Material crew’s Galcher Lustwerk and Alvin Aronson return under the guise of Studio OST with a 4-track EP of live jams on Lustwerk Music. While the pair’s critically acclaimed 2016 debut ‘Scenes (2012-2015)’ leaned towards home listening, ’EVENTIDE / ASCENSION’ shifts the focus back to the dancefloor with two chugging cinematic house tracks. ‘Eventide’ is an evolving nebula of fluttering pads and lush percussion, while ‘Ascension’’s hot-electric drums are complimented by sharp synth chords that unfurl into controlled chaos. A beatless version of ‘Eventide’ and a drums only version of ‘Ascension’ sweeten the deal.

Following his recent releases on Tartelet Records and OYE, Uffe kicks off the Nos Classics label with a record consisting of three mutated disco tracks that marks the start of his own new Copenhagen-based label.

Run together with fellow Tartelet affiliates VKTR and Jeppe Wolmer (of Vivian International) The first records A-side is a dubbed out percussive testament to the darkest and saddest times of Uffe's life. A2 is a melodic and dreamy homage to one certain apartement located on the Lijnbaangracht in the Jordaan area in Amsterdam. On the top floor of this worn down old house there was light to be found in these dark times.

On the flip-side tings gets trippy. The title track finds Uffe deeply intertwined in an occult-like bass-heavy ritual. An attempt to escape reality and cure the scandinavian misanthropy and the grey weather it comes with. A twelve minute voodoo disco tool perfectly crafted for a dancefloor which most probably does not exist.
