Exclusive: Beyun - Spectral Calibration

Rotterdam's Vault Wax returns in June with label boss Beyun dropping four tracks of beautifully crafted Acid-infused Electro, through her Spectral Calibration EP, a dignified follow up of Black Cadmium's Our Legacy EP last year. The pacey opener is the EPs title track, namely Spectral Calibration, breaky percussion and Acid with a hint of delay, giving spacial width in the grooves. Subtle bleeps and pads all merge to provide a gorgeously hazy feel throughout as the track rolls along. 

Beyun's Spectral Calibration EP is released on Vault Wax on June 6th, 2022.

Unreleased Territory vol. 4

PREMIERE: Dazion - Alpine Action (Electric Shapes)

Artist: https://soundcloud.com/shedbug
Track: A Lil Piece
Label: https://soundcloud.com/jugaar-records
Format: Digital, 12" Vinyl,  VA
Release date: 01/03/23

Fresh from DOTT’s “Puppy Luv EP” and Rudoh’s “Vinland In Space EP”, Jugaar Records is back and this time with a full-length, double-pack vinyl, and digital compilation bringing together friends from Asia and Europe. The record is testament to the healthy place the Asian electronic music landscape finds itself in and those intrepid producers who are willing to explore new scenes and sounds.
It's energy-crew from the off - with UK beatmaker Joe Koshin’s “Astro Wax”, a techy electro work-out that conjures images of futuristic cityscapes and dense urban mazes. Up next, Pakistan-born and label co-boss Rudoh maintains the electro vibe with cut-up hip-hop vocals sprinkled on top of a pulsating bassline in his “KOF”. His records are being picked up by global tastemakers from Emerald to Roza Terenzi to DJ Masda. Don’t sleep!
Moving to the B-side, German-born, London mainstay Voigtmann shuffles and deals a steppy drum pattern and intricate synth-work, with a bassline drenched in that particular brand of funk to get the party going even at the most ungodly hour. Observatory resident Nic Ford closes this disk with an ambient excursion that summons spiritual rave voices from the deep laid atop a lilting synth loop. It’s typical of his ambient performances which have gained much notoriety in Vietnam of late.
Opening the second record is Egyptian gem Hassan Abou Alam whose recent outings on Naïve and Banoffee Pies have gained him much and well-deserved attention. Here, his “Gloom” combines twinkling IDM modes with heavy sub-bass experiments primed to stop the most idiosyncratic dancefloors in their tracks.
Up on C2, the Version, 3024 and Phonica Records graduate Yak adds breaks to the equation. His “Disk Full” brings together a haunting gated synth and razor-sharp beat programming to devastating effect. Melbourne based, Salt Mines Records honcho Shedbug concludes this side with his hopeful “A Lil Piece” whose soaring synth line will hit all the right emotional chords at all the right times.
On the final side Bangkokian Chalo reminds us why he is one of the masters of this increasingly fully formed scene. His Depth Charge is a muggy dub-laden, electro jam capable of rattling the weightiest sound systems in some of the most twisted raves at the end of some of the darkest Sois.
The record is completed by New Delhi linchpin and Boxout.fm resident Monophonik, whose techno/electro “Tumbi” journeys out of the night into a euphoric sunrise moment that will be setting the dancefloors.

PREMIERE | Shedbug - A Lil Piece [Jugaar Records] 2023

Artist: HAN, https://soundcloud.com/weedchangedthespelling
Track: Floating 
Label: https://soundcloud.com/mysticisms
Format: Vinyl 12", Digital EP
Release date: TBA
YouTube: https://youtu.be/r1T5R-p9si8

Mysticisms continues its global journey with an EP of previously unreleased ethereal House meets IDM by Romania’s HAN aka Dan Handrabur, taken from his early studio recordings, 1991-95.
Born in Bucharest, Handrabur’s music talents began with violin and classical training, leading to a scholarship at the Conservatoire de Geneve at just 16. An even earlier fascination with tapes machines and manipulation, furthered from listening to Radio Free Europe, led to seeking more experimental and contemporary sounds, obtaining a Korg Polisix, Roland TR606 Beat Box and TEAC deck while still in his teens.
Soon hanging around record stores, meeting DJs and securing a residency at Geneva’s landmark, Club 58, he dropped out of studies to pursue the dream of producing. After links were made and a relocation to Vancouver, Canada, his first release – as ‘X Drone’ with Adham Shaikh – in ‘93, led Handrabur to become an integral part of the City’s electronic scene, with dozens of collaborations and releases across a myriad of respected labels, from Harthouse, Exist Dance, Eye Q Records and many more, plus a notably, close relationship with the legendary Phil Western.
The sole HAN release appeared on Interchill Records in ‘98, going on to be a collector’s item that saw a recent, timely repress. The music on “Reflections” comes from the similar space, a timeframe that combines a mastery of Ambient and House textures.
Opening with Floating, featuring the vocals of partner Cristina, captures the essence perfectly. Ethereal and uplifting, with the well placed optimism of the period as this new music movement was mutating. Echoes of the UK post-rave sound is evident, a pulsing 303 and piano counter, a gentle melodic adventure over tight breakbeats.
The title track is a deeper, darker affair, closer to Handrabur and Western’s seminal ’93 ‘Frequencies From The Edge Of The Tektonic Plate’ album, as well a nod to The Drum Club and the post-British Prog House sound.
The B side takes on the “Ambient House” lost genre with the swirling oscillations and beats of Phantasme, a companion to fellow travelers, Pilgirms Of The Mind’s “Subtropique”, before Give In And Resist channels floating arpeggios and vocal samples, a la Irresistible Force,’s “Rising High”; closing another chapter of Handrabur’s archival releases that continue to captivate DJs and collectors ears in equal abandon.

Cham Dance is a timeless slice of back-to-the-future house music by the São Paulo-based duo Kurc and Chausi. Merging 80’s nostalgia and 90’s rave influences, the EP evokes the past in spirit, when rules weren’t yet written and our romance with transcendental machine sounds was in its early days. You can find freedom within the tracks and unity around the album. Vigorous beats and ethereal pads that bring about the first light of bliss to a packed summer dancefloor. This is a record you sit and listen as a whole, something that in our current time is rare. A journey into sound.

PREMIERE⚡Volta Cab  - Titanium Stresser [Terra Magica Rec.]

The machinery came to a clattering halt, the sheer sound of it forcing the entire building to judder and shake. The factory had seen better days; the brickwork was crumbling away, the smell of dust and oil hung thick in the air and clung to your clothes. It was a wonder it still operated as it did, that it even opened on a daily basis or that it managed to retain enough staff to keeping things ticking over. Slowly but surely its purpose was becoming defunct, but it would cling on to life for as long as humanly possible...

Cyphon Recordings next signing have made a name for themselves under a number of different aliases. The Tijuana-based brother duo have had deep house outings as Soul of Hex and a debut as Mano De Fuego on Underground Resistance, but with this brand new project, Cyborg Nerve, their focus is firmly on electro. Balancing crystallised intergalactic cuts and raw, machine funk grooves, the EP is a triumphant introduction to the newest musical string to the Vicario Musique Recordings bow.

We are happy to premiere the latest tune from our friend DJ Blech. It's the opener for the 'Mates & Snakes' compilation, out today on London label Feed The Void.

It's a deep and dubby track, rolling on a foggy bassline, contrasted by crystalline percussion and a funky synth. A swaggy slacker of a tune that we hope you find as refreshing as we do.
