Techno: Dark / Leftfield / Industrial - part 7

'Abundance Of Selves' is taken from Conforce his forthcoming album 'Kinetic Image'.

Boris Bunnik has finished his third full-length album as Conforce. Entitled 'Kinetic Image', the ten-track album is to be released on Delsin in November following on from his standout offering, 'Escapism', back in 2011.

In the last few years, Dutchman Bunnik has established himself as one of the most prolific producers in many different sonic realms. From deep, stripped down explorations to raw and rugged techno via conceptual and cinematic sound design projects, he is a master craftsman who coaxes evocative sounds from both analogue and digital tools whether working as Versalife, Silent Harbour or any of his other monikers.

Kinetic Image, though, is the sound of Conforce producing without the dancefloor in mind. It’s the sound of him moving away from the past and into the present. The album has very much been designed to be heard in one sitting, as a complete experience that moves away from regimented 4/4 beats and into slower, more surreptitious tempos.

The result is an all consuming sonic journey of intriguing and inspiring sounds that range from full on cerebral excursions into vast open spaces that throb invitingly (Scientific Trajectory) to underwater daydreams that suspend you deep in an ocean as various mycobacterial details float by. There’s also more industrial sounding fair that depicts a desolate warehouse in perennial decay (Semantic Field) and mysterious echo chambers that spread out all around you as celestial light beams and haunting melodic ripples gently float by as per the excellent Temporary Reversals.

An aquatic vibe pervades – no doubt a side effect of recent projects under other monikers – and the title itself relates to the fact that Conforce wanted to make moving images and art that evolve and unfold like passing landscapes. He sure has done that, because Kinetic Images is like an imaginary soundtrack to the last days of Atlantis… it sucks you in, it churns you about and it makes for music that consumes your whole conscious and rewards it with very real sonic imagery.

As is always the case with this label, the album comes with bespoke artwork from Dutch designers Graphic Surgery who are inspired by “urban environments” and “experimental electronic music from the 1990’s”. Created using an analogue spray paint/stencil technique, each 'box' or 'step' is an original image on paper and gives rise to the aesthetic of minor failures. As such, the repetitive and monochromatic design they have come up with for Kinetic Images is both structured and architectural yet dynamic and fluid at the same time. Completed with crisp typography and luxurious amounts of negative space, it’s artwork as considered as the music it conceals.

Ryan James Ford’s productions are rarely anything other than inspired. Through regular releases on Marcel Dettmann Records, Answer Code Request and his own SHUT imprint, Ford has proved to be an exciting producer, capable of mangling sounds and styles to fit his wide-ranging musical vision.
The Berlin-based Canadian arrives on Happy Skull with a label debut that dramatically emphasizes the point. While each of the four tracks features audible nods to a wealth of influences and inspirations, the bold individuality of the resultant cuts all but renders such comparisons redundant.
For example, EP opener “Ormst Kaban”, whose wild, crashing, off-grid breakbeats and twisted, foreboding electronics aggressively spar with glacial chords and icy textures. The 16 bit arpeggio lines of 'Hobrv Kegdit' are underpinned by powerful sub-bass tones and industrial drum-breaks that merge to create a densely sprawling mass of dance floor melancholia.
This pattern continues throughout the EP, with “Slown Ridel” and “Nos Ummi” balancing skittish, noise-seeped percussion with the dreamy, glassy-eyed swell of classic ambient and pioneering early ‘90s IDM.

RAW Compilation II Second Breath

I Hate Models - Pray for Lust [Cleric Remix] (RAW)

With his debut release on Higher Resonance, Sacha Ketterlin creates a new level where Ambient and Techno meet on a par, merging into an epic sound symphony, far away from stomping tool techno. The result of his sound exploration on the modular system offers four tracks with a clear and minimalistic structure driven by floating pads and powerful basses. Every track enchants the listener by dreamy and remote voices which get lost in a cosmic nebula. A universe of sound.

Spheric sounds by the modular system offer a cosmic expanse in which a heartbeat emerges. The interplay of these two elements invite the listener to dream and dance. At this point the journey continues with rolling basses and punctual sub-basses giving a solid foundation to the second track. A playful melodic synth-line comes up with short decay on an continually morphing pad supported by subtil and epic voices that get lost in a wide space. Driven by 16th hi-hats and a snappy kick by the modular system, Odyssey leads to an explosion of the senses. A dance of forces. The B-side starts with the emphasis on a playful and pushing energy initiated by a synth that dances like an alarm through the stereo image. An interplay of bright filter-ping sounds and a deep chord accentuated by a rumbling profound sub-bass and a powerful bass drum. The last track invites to find peacefulness with soft glittering sounds, groovy 909-drums and dreamy vocals. Grounded by a deep sub-bass and a chorus bass with a wide stereo image Starlight rounds off the journey over the cosmic ocean of sound.

leavenoonebehind pt​.​I [VKLN001 / Valian Kollektiv]

Solidarity in Times of Corona means: leavenoonebehind 
We’re experiencing an unparalleled humanitarian, sanitary and political catastrophe. In face of the global Corona-Pandemic we need to act solidly united more than ever and support those who are particularly affected. Those are the elderly, poor, homeless, immunocompromised people and moreover the refugees and displaced people at the European borders. 

For how long can a person bear the inhumane conditions at the EU-borders? The circumstances in the camps on the Greek islands have been worsening for years. People seeking protection on the Greek islands and at the borders are exposed to heavy violence and systematic discrimination. Greece and the EU have in fact abolished basic human rights and the right for asylum in the past weeks. Refugees are being fired at, the conditions in camps like Moria are purposely kept inhumanely because the EU aims to deter those seeking shelter. Lawlessness is dominating where solidarity and humanity are needed the most. The situation in the overcrowded camps is disastrous and it lacks everything from medical aid to basic sanitary needs. The people are defencelessly exposed to the pandemic as they are trapped and isolated on the islands. Protective measures which are being carried out on the European mainland are simply impossible to be employed in the camps. (See more: https://seebruecke.org/leavenoonebehind/aufruf) 

In Moria, water is becoming rare and is distributed in dangerously low rations – immediate support is required now. Based on the statement by the NGO Seebrücke our collective has decided to publish a Soli-compilation as quick as possible. The compilation will be divided into 3 EPs which will be released on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday of the coming week. A variety of artists – 16 in total – from many different genres of electronic music will be on the release, contributing to the project. We are aware that this is only a drop in the bucket in times like these. However, any form of solidarity is needed at the moment . You can get the EPs at Bandcamp and all the money made from this will directly be donated to the NGO “Mission Lifeline”. (See more: https://mission-lifeline.de)

Slam / @paragraph - Sense Of Purpose EP (Soma584d)

1. Capture
2. False
3. Episode

Soma label heads Slam are back on home turf with another high pressure release, the Sense Of Purpose EP. The pairing of Stuart McMillan & Orde Meikle hit hard once again with 3 expertly crafted tracks that give a nod to the roots of the tougher side of Techno.

Opening track Capture harks to the unrelenting nature of early 2000s Techno. A sturdy blend of hammering percussive elements, backed by rebellious vocals make for a typically high octane track Slam. False maintains the pressure but has a more warped and hypnotic hook that adds even darker overtones. Episode closes out the EP and has a trademarked Slam groove element whilst still remaining rough and ready as added dubbed out atmospherics and pads play to the tracks deeper momentum.

@non-reversible - Extinction EP (Soma585d)

1. Riot
2. Embrace Our Culture
3. Extinction
4. And Then There Was Silence
5. Deconstruct **Bandcamp Exclusive**

Making his debut on Soma with the Extinction EP is Berlin based Dj & producer, Non Reversible. Slowly but surely making his name within the underground ranks of Techno, Non Reversible has released storming EPs via ARTS, Animal Farm and his own eponymous label. With his debut Soma EP, Non Reversible works his way through 5 modern, industrial tracks. 

Riot opens the EP and with a title like that, you know what to expect. A furious, percussion driven track, Riot stomps it’s way forwards with efficiency, breaking only to allow for chants of rebellion to ring through. Embrace Our Culture keeps on a similarly formidable tip. Pounding drums lead the charge to a backing of tripped out atmospherics that build and lead throughout the track. Title track Extinction delivers on direct assault Techno once again - set to a backdrop of dread with screaming tones that deliver an unnerving melancholy. And Then There Was Silence closes out this debut with anything else but silence. Once again, Non Reversible brings colossal energy via intense percussion, more rigid rhythms and huge, spacial atmospherics.
