Empirical Distress - Gaze Upon Thethys (Incl. YUKIMASA and Traversable Message Remixes) [NWR023]

The second release of 2021 welcomes Empirical Distress to the No Way Records’ family. A four tracker EP including a Remix from YUKIMASA and Traversable Message. Ideally we can split the album in two parts, the first sees “Rhea Intercore” and “Floating On Dione Plains” with their meditative electronic music soaked with IDM sounds, where rhythmic is maintained strong and incisive in both tracks. Instead, on the second half “Gaze Upon Tethys” and “Paaliaq Landing” take the listener to a more club-focused atmosphere, with theirs syncopated drum machines, ethereal synths, as well as hypnotic and wrapping basslines. Traversable Message’s take on “Paaliaq Landing” gives the track a firm and distinctive twist to the overall rhythm, meanwhile Japanese artist YUKIMASA transform the title track into pure monolithic, hypnotic, cosmic techno.

Early supported by Takaaki Itoh, Svarog, Hydrangea, Paul Nazca, Drop-E, Atypikal, A Thousand Details, Justine Perry, Altrd Being, Dj Datch, Beyond Humans, Different Grooves, Outer dimension and many others

@keinkontrast is a project of passion out of love for the beat. The focus of his musical compositions is on a deep, hypnotic sound space, surrounded by a fascinating, experimentally created atmosphere that offers space for our mind. Like music and art, the love of nature is a common language that can overcome borders. In music but also in nature there are energies, frequencies, resonances and vibrations. This creates feelings that guide us, and quite individually. It is difficult to understand or put into words. It is a process of the subconscious. Through his mix, he wants to offer the opportunity to immerse yourself in a world in which you briefly lose space and time to be simple and briefly experience the feeling of lightheartedness. 
Last year he tried his own series 
• on.soundcloud.com/y693D • 
how different own perceptions of feelings can be reproduced in 12 episodes with different electronic sounds. His works can also be heard on renowned streaming platforms such as @technotrippin, @anodynicfrequencies, @furthersessions and some others.

Established in 2016 as a vinyl and digital label, No Way Records was born with no conditioning and no model to emulate, but a singular idea informed by the white arrow of the logo spearheading the ideology of the label. This is not a Techno label. This is music informed by the synthesised soundscapes of electronic traditions and transmitted on the pulse of a contemporary dance floor.  Between the perfunctory roots of Techno to the hedonistic heights of melodic electronica, No Way thrives. Music conceived in the imagined alternative narratives of Sci-Fi and Horror fiction, transmogrify in the beat of a primordial rhythm. Where records fraternise with all sides of the dance floor, from the beat-less expanse of ambient genres to the insistence of a 4-4 beat, No Way exists as a singular voice evolving through the artistic bodies within our ranks.
