OW1 JEMAPUR - Mode Cleaner

For Omen Wapta’s inaugural release, Japanese musician/sound designer/coder/producer JEMAPUR explores the far reaches of abstract experimental techno on his album Mode Cleaner. Pulling from music that the Nagano-based artist made between 2016 and 2020, the album demonstrates JEMAPUR’s distinctive use of glitch, microsampling, live coding, and granular synthesis techniques. As the producer explains, Mode Cleaner was made at a time when his subconscious was being drawn towards subjects like physics, geometry, murals, ancient civilisations, the logic of nature, and the observation of the universe.

Intricate yet expressive, cerebral yet sensory, melancholic yet vivid, the Mode Cleaner album comes a decade-plus into JEMAPUR’s career of innovative electronic music. In 2019, he was invited to become an artist-in-residence at Amsterdam’s De School, where he was introduced to Omen Wapta’s Woody92.

OW2 Yuki Matsumura - An

For Omen Wapta’s second release, Japanese producer Yuki Matsumura turns in four tracks of glitchy, experimental techno on his new EP, An. Born and raised in Kochi, Yuki began exploring PC and software production in 2007. His labyrinthine sound design is created through heavy processing and audio editing, resulting in an abstract and textural take on techno with a distinctive rhythmic edge.

Yuki released his debut album Without a Break via Moph Records in 2015, followed by 2016’s Edge for Artificial Domain, both of which demonstrated his balance of bass-heavy breaks and more introspective sounds. On his An EP, Yuki continues to develop his avant-glitch approach, pursuing an even more sparse and insular sound across its four tracks.

OW3 Loek Frey - Decipher

For Omen Wapta’s third release, Loek Frey explores the far reaches of mechanic and organic spaciousness. His first album ‘Decipher’ is melting together metallic  and biological influences. Loek states that the artistic freedom he had during the creative process was a liberating experience: it allowed him to take risks and translate his subconscious into music. Letting go of direction, the irregular complex rhythms still provide a clear and minimalistic approach to sound design.

OW3 contains eleven electronic scapes, some more than others are intensified by layers of clashing atmospheres. Remaining fresh and breathable, elements from different sources coexist in another dimension. The result is a naturally arising composition of sound, with a sense of progression.

OW4 Floid - Yayomia 

For the next release on Omen Wapta, Delft based producer and digital sound artist Floid builds trip-like atmospheric sound pieces. Letting go of specific genres or ideas, the artist has a skilled and intuition based approach to electronic music production. While not building towards a peak, he creates endless rhythms and active narratives elevating each other by surprising intervals. 

OW4 'Yayomia' is part of a new digital-only series on the label, seeking to discover different territories of sound. In this five-track EP, Floid translates his fascination for dancing crowds, into mind-leading sonic spaces to slowly get lost in. Here, the producer takes constancy, repetition and glitchy influences to an own interpretation of hypnotic deep techno. The outcome is a series trippy danceable soundscapes, to fall into trance with.

OW5 Loek Frey - Add Interaction

Loek Frey’s Add Interaction is an exercise in damp, eerie atmospherics and intricate drum patterns. On this latest Omen Wapta release, the Dutch producer hones the experimental shades of his sound traversing drum and bass, IDM and breakbeat deconstructed with unexpected tempo shifts and effects.

Produced during the pandemic, the six-track EP explores and conjures a sense of loneliness, solitude and unfamiliarity. The producer is attuned to exploring the boundaries of music production and doesn’t shy from taking the listener to unexpected places. Experimental sounds shift between celestial and subterranean realms. There are tunneling, meditative low-end structures fit for a journey through the earth’s layers down to its core. Meanwhile expansive, pearlescent vocals evoke spiritual bodies. Soundscape-leaning IDM is woven into polyrhythms and muted breakbeat stitching tight, individual tracks into an overall engaging listening experience.

Add Interaction was a response to a time when introspection was our default status. The EP invites an opportunity to engage with the sounds and world around us in a different way. Frey’s release positions him as a teacher of brooding textures. The unpredictability can draw you deep into the sonic abyss — if you let it.

OW6 Harald Uunk - Unseen 

Harald Uunk’s debut album, Unseen, is an immersive, contemplative trip through the forest. The 18 tracks are designed to build on each other, starting close in and gradually expanding to poke at the different corners of your mind. There are heady, overcast and menacing moments offset with pupil-dilating, sweeping, atmospheric levity. 

And just like the transient nature of our thoughts and moods, there are ephemeral qualities to each track. Varied tempos, warm basslines, fluttering glitches, undulating percussion and moments of crystalline equilibrium lean into elements of dub, minimal and introspective techno. 

Five years in the making, Unseen puts all of Uunk out to the world. The Dutch DJ/Producer has crafted the record off the back of his experiences in nature and his immediate surroundings. The output is a reflection of the energies around him and the result is a spatiotemporal play. Where some tracks sway and stretch from side to side, others are packed tightly on the spot or drive forward through the trees with the full power of a calvary.

OW7 Floid - Skudd

Every moment of Skudd offers a place to explore. For his second release on Omen Wapta, Delft-based sound artist, Floid, fuses soundscapes and rhythms in seven tracks that swap peaks and troughs for narrative arcs. Cinematic, immersive, dense and danceable, the new EP, delivers sonic pieces that hypnotically swell and engage brain and body dance.

Drop into a snake pit with cavernous moments and unexpected ornaments that rattle and slice. Affected pan flutes, meshed with shamanic vocals and organic percussion conjure a nocturnal fever dream in the jungle. Tempo tricks make high bpms feel stretched. With Skudd, the only thing guiding you through the soundscapes is a certain groove in the constant kicks, rhythms and basslines. Everywhere else it takes your mind is up to you.
