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

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.
