Out 28.01.2022

Up next in our main series are Milan-based dub techno outfit Primal Code. With a solid back catalogue comprising releases for Hypnus Records, TGP and Konstrukt, the Italian duo have honed their skills to impressive effect over the last few years, forging a sound signature thoroughly engaging on both body and cerebral levels, and now punching in on KOC to breathe further hard-hitting opaque heat into the collection.

Putting things into gear, “AI Calculator” propels us across dim-lit streetscapes and murky subterranean entrails, pared-down to a minimal array of modular signals, subtle machine inflections and particularly acute rhythmic progression. Steering the original into further pumped-up, DJ-friendly territories, NAFF affiliate Priori drops the hammer badman style, bringing forth the racing muscular bass and squelchy machine talk on loop mode to keep everyone on their toes from start to finish.

Flexing a different kind of acidic swagger, “Autopilot” pulls out the weird extra-terrestrial jazz tropes and whirling dynamics for a round of proper otherworldly bop in the outer-space. Last but not least, “Mainframe” rounds off the release on a more openly experimental note, letting the loops, envelopes and textures float in a haze of half-controlled abstraction. The result evokes something of an immunocompromised Rubber Johnny getting glazed as he weightlessly drifts off from a galaxy to another, and into another world completely.

Konduku - Gelgit - Nous'klaer K4 (previews)

A new spring, a new label, a new direction. NOWHERE is closely
linked to the Utrecht-bunch of Something Happening
Somewhere. They kick off with the acid tingled Substance EP by
@humanspacemachine

Part of the Amsterdam techno collective De Lichting, Human
Space Machine is driven by Mike Jungerius. Although he does
sprinkle some techno-DNA over his spacious productions, his
machines often take you much deeper into the realm.

Premiering the lysergic ‘Dong’ - a track that will remind some Dutch techno heads
of early Steve Rachmad productions. Futuristic funk in optima
forma delivered by one of Amsterdam’s finest.

'Substance' is now available for pre-order via: https://sohaso.bandcamp.com/album/nowhere01-substance

Premiere: Human Space Machine - Dong [NOWHERE01]

a1. Özlem
a2. Scale
b1. Derinkuyu
b2. Swerve

Konduku (@kondukukonduku) returns to the Delsin Mantis series with an exciting double pack (Mantis 09 + 10) which dives deeper into his remarkable fractured rhythms and light-touch synthesis. Over the course of nine tracks Ruben Üvez straddles the space between introspective headphone trips and hypnotising dancefloor elegance, operating in a liminal zone of fluid tempos, submerged atmospheres and pointillist beats. It's an open-ended but clear-sighted approach that aligns perfectly with the direction of the Mantis series.

On Mantis 09 Üvez follows a progressive, patient arc of energy from the glassy chimes and pin-prick percussion of 'Özlem' via 'Scale's reduced, atonal echo chamber and the half-time prowl of 'Derinkuyu' to the dense, humid pressure of 'Swerve'. Restraint maintains throughout, even as we take in a broad spectrum of the Konduku sound.

Konduku (@kondukukonduku) returns to the Delsin Mantis series with an exciting double pack (Mantis 09 + 10) which dives deeper into his remarkable fractured rhythms and light-touch synthesis. Over the course of nine tracks Ruben Üvez straddles the space between introspective headphone trips and hypnotising dancefloor elegance, operating in a liminal zone of fluid tempos, submerged atmospheres and pointillist beats. It's an open-ended but clear-sighted approach that aligns perfectly with the direction of the Mantis series.

Mantis 10 opens up with the circular electronica of 'Trail', masking the start and end points of the groove with the kind of polymetric construction Üvez has made his name with. The pattern continues through the displaced, dubby experimentation of 'Lust' before the more sharply defined transcendental tone of 'Lavender' cuts through the fog. 'Dalgin' rides its pattering percussion on a minimalist D&B growl, setting the scene for the dislocated, avant-darkside closer 'Helles’.

Premiere: Sunju Hargun - Mai Chau

Harmony Rec. is celebrating its eighth birthday with a double EP compilation involving all the artists of the label.

HARMONY010.1 is introduced by a playful experimental composition of Polygonia that shares the side with a gloomy electro drive by Forest On Stasys. Groovy dancefloor-aimed loops that are exhaling their freshness via the B-side, were crafted by the label veterans Jamida and Shoal.

HARMONY010.2 is the deeper & darker sibling of the first half of the release. The tracks from Alfred and Biri are not missing any cadence, as the compilation progresses towards the end. Alan Backdrop is adding some extra progressiveness on the B1 before the finale. The whole thing is wrapped up by Raleigh’s immersive, nebulous journey.

Konduku - Hayal EP - Bitta - BITTA012

pre-order: https://konduku.bandcamp.com/album/hayal-ep

a1. Hayal
a2. Damla
b1. Zifir
b2. Yakamoz

Konduku makes his first appearance on DJ Nobu's label Bitta, presenting four highly energetic, deep hypnotic cuts. It's the perfect collision between their characteristic practices. Konduku's two immersive techno works, in the form of 'Hayal' and the atmospheric 'Yakamoz', compliment Nobu's powerful and uplifting mountain-valley sound. Balancing out the EP are two proper mind-benders: 'Damla' perfectly represents Konduku's take on twirling half-tempo rhythms and 'Zifir' is a freaky heavy-hitter in the low sub territories.
