Colorblind Podcast Series 003 - Swarm Intelligence

Colorblind strikes back again with the third episode of the Colorblind Podcast Series. This time we invite the Irish sonic master known as Swarm Intelligence. Ocsillating between Tense atmospherics, uncompromising levels of distortion and stark, astute beats he once again takes us very far with this exclusive mix.
_
@SwarmIntelligence [47, VOITAX, New York Trax] Dublin, Ireland

"Could it be that there’s a specifically Irish sound within hard techno? Eomac, Lakker, Sunil Sharpe, Swarm Intelligence: all of them have a special way with grainy, textured distortion that makes it feel like the track is full of iron filings, and all of them are blasting towards you." 
     Tense atmospherics, uncompromising levels of distortion and stark, astute beats constitute a distinctive sound that Simon Hayes has been honing for more than a decade under his Swarm Intelligence guise.
     A restless sonic explorer, his numerous releases span a range of styles – from ambient and noise, through techno and electro, right through to drum and bass and breakcore.

NOISE ORCHESTRA PODCAST #13 | Oliver

• Formerly one half of a live duo, Oliver emerged as a self-titled solo artist in 2016, the latest electronic project conceived by London-based DJ and producer, Oliver Gibson. Born from within the capital’s neglected walls and spaces, the project was formed around an intersection between Post-Punk, EBM, Darkwave, Industrial Techno and Rave. Building a loyal following throughout the London rave circuit, Oliver established his name through his high-energy sets capable of moving any dancefloor. Working with a DIY aesthetic, Gibson’s intentions as a solo artist centre around a non-purist approach, a resistance against convention. Debut material has been teased through recent sets and recordings, with surfacing remixes and edits further shaping an industrial direction, both in studio and on stage.

Noise Orchestra Podcast -  Oliver

Born deep in rural Poland, Polanski's music draws inspiration from the organic sounds of nature conveyed in the form of musical language of our digital era. His style is known to be eclectic and indeed his DJ approach is sensitive to particular venues and club nights. Unique as a performer, he always takes his audience on a personal journey - a sonic walk in the forest so to speak. It is the emotional drive more than the musical genres themselves that seals the journey together.  Never bound to one musical style, whether as DJ, remixer or solo producer, Polanski tries to bridge the gap between rhythmic grooves and more experimental styles of dance music.

~ The Intrinsic Nature, a source, a manuscript of codes. 

The essence of living beings; it takes some time to grasp its marvel. 
You can find it in everything that exists and you can also find it in nothing.
Fundamental order of all the things, such as matter. A particle —-
essentially everything that existed, exists and will exist. Also the void, home of nothing.

Because to be, to evolve or to exist in unpolluted way; equipped with a DNA-narrative, from a pre-mutated space dust particle, the seed of all existence, the mega-source —- The Universe. Form and matter architect, total collector of energies, the reason for life and decay.

'Harmony in Chaos' in infinitum and always in tandem. The two mega-forces working on par. Without any hate but not in love. Their parasitic symbiosis is neither an ebb nor a flow. The existence of dust particles in space and time —- mutating, evolving.

It is of an utter importance to once again tune in and observe the nature which radiates from within us. From the very fabric of our close surroundings, and from afar, far beyond the abyss ~
