Galtier makes his second return to his own label with a 5-track offering of off-kilter, obscure electronic madness aptly titled 'Imitation Plantae'. Inspired by the idea of man-made imitations attempting to capture the essence of natural beauty. Galtier's take on this very concept manifests itself through the ever-present sense of unease that is evident across all five tracks. The melodies drift in and out of tune, ever so slightly, ultimately sounding pleasing but always fleeting in their general aura of pleasantness. A showcase of Galtier's breadth of confidence across a huge span of BPMs and rhythmic influences that is showcased on his sophomore NHS release, reflecting the sense of uncertainty conveyed through the Intentionally awry mood throughout.

The EP itself is a distinct shift, once again, in gears off the back of his debut LP on Infinite Machine, which encapsulated the journey into one's own existence and presence in a vast world that is, to this viewer, connected on an atomic and deeply spiritual level. This decidedly stark difference in output originated as an attempt to play contrarian to his own 'style' of productions - Setting out to prove that he is capable of branching out once again into a new, confused realm that steers away from theatrics and hones in on sharp, digitized and overtly computer-programmed aesthetics.

‘Half-Dead Orchid Still Breathing’ is a stripped back thudding piece designed for a futuristic cyber-Zaibatsu Police chase scene. Dense 808 subs thunder with spacious yet present tom drums as hollow synthetic sounds reverberate in between. It carries low end weight and steps with an almighty poly-rhythmic flow.

Premiere: Galtier ‘Living Chamber (feat. aircode)’

Nostro Hood System head honcho Galtier makes a return to the Bristol label with 5 visceral tracks which, through fusion of synthetic and organic textures, emulate human imitation of nature's essence.

He crooked his neck, not daring to make any bigger movements as he learnt his surroundings. His feet stumbled clumsily and he found himself spinning, his eyes receiving visual information faster than his brain could process it. The hardness of metal pressed itself into soft flesh, resembling the shape of human bodies, but not their movement. Faces showed their teeth and squinted their eyes, but didn't smile. Mouths projected noise, but didn't speak. It was grotesque but strangely enticing.  He looked down at his hands which couldn't hold.

In some respects, 'Imitation Plantae' is exactly what you'd expect from a Galiter release. 5 off-kilter tracks which laugh in the face of genres, maintaining just enough of their stylistic tropes to make them recognisable before screwing them up and making something totally new. In reality, it's hard to know what to expect from Galtier - an artist who basks in unpredictability and uncanniness.

Departing somewhat from his previous output, an introspective full-length album released on Mexico's Infinite Machine imprint , Imitation Plantae is a whiplash tour of club music's strangest corners. Crystalline sound design flirts with the senses, each blip and groan tempting to the touch, immersing their listener in its cyborg world. 

Our pick 'XX-101 (Process)' sees Galtier put his oddball spin on dembow. Arpeggiating synths and a razor-sharp buzz that whirrs mischievously above, add layers of movement to an assertive triplet rhythm. Club mutations at their most incongruous, we file this one next to Batu's most recent EP.

PREMIERE: Galtier - XX-101 (Process)[Nostro Hood System]

Here is my edit of 'Dot/Eyes' which comes from one of my favourite band Tortoise's 'It's All Around You' album from 2004. The original was begging to be made into a clubbier edit.

Cafurna é o single de adianto do meu EP debut: ZZEN.

Cafurna constitúe unha caverna. Nela percíbese unha atmosfera procedente dalgún centro enerxético da terra-persoa.

Desa paisaxe interna emerxen melodías sumerxidas nun pulso de tensión-relaxación, levadas a través de ritmos rotos nos que procurar a luz.

Foi producido nun tempo de caverna no inverno compostelán de 2022 xunto a Juait no son e a Celia López na art work.

Grazas,
russ.


Cafurna is the advance single from my debut ep: ZZEN.

Cafurna is a cave. In it you can perceive an atmosphere coming from some energetic center of the earth-person.

From this internal landscape emerge melodies submerged in a pulse of tension-relaxation, carried through broken rhythms in which to find the light.

It was produced in a cavernous time in the compostelan winter of 2022 with Juait in the sound and Celia López in the artwork.

Renslink - !85 EP
Label: Infinite Machine
CAT#: IM103
Format: Digital
Release: May 26th, 2023
Mastered by Fausto Mercier
Artwork by Luis Tomita

UK producer Renslink calls IM103 his first effort focused on the dancefloor, but it belies a lifetime steeped in it. This is prime material for the most advanced of DJs.

The first cut, Static, blends heavy, droning atmospheric sound design with the half-time template of dubstep, complete with jungle vocals. Before reaching the first half, however, it goes into a healthy techno gallop, making the track a perfect set opener if drama is your thing.

From that we go into the three-on-two mindbend of In My Mind, full of beautiful rhythmic trickery and rave culture nods in the sampled female vocals.

Cenotaph feels like a Pinch & Mumdance dub that they kept for themselves around the Control/Strobelight era, all rolling, persistent kick, dubbed-out dready vocals and dystopian hoover.

In Touching The Void we find a moment of drama and relative tenderness, as cinematic strings and choir soar over a busy rolling breakbeat. Occasionally, the proceedings are punctuated by a reese bass and bleeps fill that keep it fresh (an you on your toes).

Closer Silence is a mutant dembow wobbler with alien vocals by Nivalis, like dancehall for after the nuclear apocalypse, when we’ll have all the extra limbs we’ll need to dance to music like this.
