Premiere: Lazarus - Reverof Nema

Who is Bit Folder? There have been whispers about the identity of Central Processing Unit's latest signing, and many theories have been presented as to who's behind the project. Some say it's a young upstart fresh on the scene, others insist that this is the work of an old head. Either way, initial investigations have proven inconclusive, and the Bit Folder project remains shrouded in mystery.

There may be a way to untangle the Bit Folder riddle through listening to the artist's new EP Silicon Frontier. There is classic early Warp in here, a dash of Rephlex too. More contemporary styles also come to mind - FireScope, the label helmed by B12's Steven Rutter, and Analogical Force are two of the imprints recalled, and Bit Folder also shares some space with fellow CPU artists Datassette, Noumen and the aforementioned B12.

What's for sure is that Silicon Frontier is a futuro-rave adventure that conjures up the brave new world hinted at by its title. Like the classic 90s techno/IDM that it channels, this record gleams with the sounds of the android future. Keyboards glisten and shimmer, their tones at once stargazing and hallucinogenic; hi-hats open and close like steam valves; synth lines move in and out of each other to create all these lovely little cells of melody. Some tracks even play with tempo itself, beats glitching or slowing down completely as if you've just dropped a dose of (electro-)soma, but Bit Folder always manages to snap them back into place just as they seem to be breaking apart. For an artist's debut release it is very deft production - but then again, could it be that we've heard from Bit Folder before?

Silicon Frontier kicks off with 'Youka', a 150-bpm IDM-techno number that squiggles and squirms like AFX in Analord mode. The title-track follows, its beautiful opening zooming out into a unique melange of wobbling bass and final-frontier keyboards. 'The Tritan Cord' pushes us further out into deep space - there's something very Drexciyan about this track, though rather than pure revivalism 'The Tritan Cord' in fact displays the kind of dense worldbuilding we see in the work of Gerald Donald and James Stinson, its dinky synth lines and whirring drums sliding and out of one another to create a cinematic dancefloor trip. Silicon Frontier closes out with 'Legs Akimbo', a speedy number that injects those same chirruping drums/synths with the playful energy of DMX Krew and Squarepusher.

Even while it channels the sounds of some of electro's most important sites - Detroit, London, CPU's native Sheffield - Bit Folder's debut EP Silicon Frontier still manages to sound fresh and new. Now, if only there was some way to discern the man behind the mask…

New Wave Podcast 020: False Persona 

Sean Birch who plays under the alias False Persona is one of the many byproducts of the resurgence of electro within the past few years. As the winds of tastes change and more people discovered/ rediscovered the genre, Sean was pushing a sound that both paid homage to the greats that did it before him while adding his own innovating sounds. This has lead to much recognition from artists old and new, with his music being played by on the radio greats such as Umwelt, but also making good connections with fellow up and coming artists like Hermeth.

Sean's success is a result of obsession and hard work, with his production journey starting back when he was 13, he continuously strives to get better. He admits it took him a while to come into his own with producing and even thought about giving up, but once a string of self releases were well received he was able to grow in confidence. His sound has spanned across many genres and alias' over the years, making lo-fi tracks under 'DJ Something' and deep house under 'Block', however under alias 'False Persona' he has created his best and most successful tracks. He accredits this to the freedom and creativity he is allowed when making broken and offbeat rhythms. 

Although he hasn't established himself as a DJ in his local scene, which struggles to pull in big crowds for underground music, he has made significant strides to build a platform and name for himself. This has lead to him to a residency show on Vandelay Radio and guest appearances on various podcasts. We discuss this in the interview, where he expresses his desire to play out, and we also discuss the transition from lo-fi to electro, rap influences and future releases.

Cassette + Digital
Order : https://tripalium.bandcamp.com/album/dms039-bruit-fant-me-robert-smith
Out on november 24th, 2020

French producer Bruit Fantôme is known since 2012 for some beautiful records between sytnhwave and electronica released on Alpage Records. He's also known under his monikers Musique d'Ambiance and Transistor Galaxii. That new EP on Tripalium Records firstly existed as a title and an idea: "My next album will be called “Robert Smith” and it will be recorded and listened to on tape". However it was not about The Cure’s coldwave, nor “Futur Noir” or “Vestiges” synthwave, the previous Bruit Fantôme’s EP. There wasn’t, besides of that, any desire to produce an album in a specific style but simply let the track writing came as it was. The result is an EP with 7 dark electro tunes, somewhere between Drexciya, UR, Aphex Twin or Mariel Ito. 

TRACKLIST :
A1. Disintegration
A2. Subway Song
A3. Drowning Man
B1. Forest (Monsters Are Coming)
B2. Carnage Visors
