Nørbak - Flesh to Ashes - WU66LP

Deep Techno

DJ. 2020LAIA

Ever since their initial singles were released in the mid-1990s and became international calling cards for the Chain Reaction label, the Porter Ricks duo of Thomas Köner and Andy Mellwig have represented that crucible point in which techno music leaked into new social environments and became the background music for cutting-edge cultural critique. Their submerged “scuba” sound, presented in dark tone colors and reverberating to infinity, is now instantly identifiable as one of the ‘soundmarks’ of Berlin club culture. Just as importantly, it is still a palpable aftershock of a pre-millenial genre explosion that saw deep dub, shimmering post-rock, abstract hip-hop and art-damaged noise all drinking from the same well of inspiration. Together with restless international collaborators such as Kevin Martin, and theoretical thinktanks such as the Mille Plateaux label, Mellwig and Köner were key players in a larger decentralized rebellion against musical monoculture. Their stated desire to make unexpected timbral shifts as important to their compositions as rhythm, along with their indifference to concerns like public image, set up a situation that critic Kodwo Eshun picked up on early on (“no pictures or interviews act as shock absorbers…the full force of their inexplicable sounds falls around your ears.”)

For proof of Porter Ricks’ enduring legacy, look no further than the fact that “dub techno” is now a stylistic movement that has expanded far beyond the confines of Berlin and the Basic Channel / Chain Reaction label alliance (where Mellwig’s mastering skills also played a starring role). Lurid traces of PR’s aesthetic can now be found in the work of producers like Andy Stott and Miles Whittaker, showing the potential for the duo’s unique ‘aquatic’ techniques to be applied to a variety of different musical contexts. However, this does present Porter Ricks with the unique challenge of reasserting themselves in a scene that has mastered their sonic vocabulary so well, the originals themselves run the risk of sounding like imitators…are they up to the task?

Their new LP on Tresor, Anguilla Electrica, may be their first full-length release in seventeen full years, but it radiates with confidence and with a clarity and intensity rarely seen in a world so oversaturated with communications noise. It’s made clear at once that it’s a continuation of a sonic ideal rather than a tribute to what has already been achieved: the duo is not idly sitting back while their newer acolytes do their talking for them. From the outset, the title track “Anguilla Electrica” slithers to life with bouncing and panning sequences that cover the full frequency spectrum and provide a perfect update on Porter Ricks’ exploration of animalistic movement and perception. Elsewhere, pieces such as “Scuba Rondo” also reanimate the classic Porter Ricks sound in striking fashion, playfully setting up a virtual sonic kitchen in which gelatinous sound phrases blend with steamy hisses and distinct crackling. In other places, like “Port of Tangency” and “Shoal Beat,” the duo once again demonstrates just how effortlessly catchy the conversational tension between lockstep groove and slightly unhinged, unidentifiable sound material can be.

This new LP is well worth the wait and is a life-affirming one in an uncertain and perilous time, drowning out daily anxieties like a rush of incoming surf - yet it is far more invigorating than relaxing. True to the Porter Ricks tradition, it will be just as exciting hearing this music as it will be to experience what new cultural mutations it leaves in its wake

Gods and Myths

Empirical Distress - Candomblé (original Mix)

The slow and trancey virtuoso from Frankfurt is back to release his solo EP. Each track has its own movement - mysterious, tense, exploring, expanding. Each movement is a medicine for your flesh and soul. The EP also includes great sounds from Greece. The remix by Anatolian Weapons is, as always, something more than just an interpretation.

From the first tribal beats, this EP triggers your body to want to move, something we're sorely lacking these days. We hope you can shake off the pandemic cobwebs to these tunes, wherever you are.

We present the theme "LSDream", a movie theme accompanied by cosmic synthesizers that will help the bodies to relax and travel until lost in the immensity of sounds. A track as captivating as it is elegant, with the perfect amount of substance, it is presented in a powerful style that ranges from classic to cutting edge. Enjoy!

@rolldann
@opera2000label


El madrileño Roll Dann mantiene la alta calidad de sus primeros lanzamientos con un nuevo EP en su sello Opera 2000 presentando cuatro cortes finos.

Roll Dann ya ha impresionado con lanzamientos en  Modularz, Soma y Pole Group. Lo que atrae es la naturaleza directa de su techno de contundente , y viene impregnado de las inspiraciones que ha adquirido durante una temporada en Berlín, así como del legado de su amor adolescente por el hardtechno-schranz.

 El comienzo de la Opera 2000 de Roll Dann & _asstnt marca un cambio en la dirección creativa de Roll Dann, donde se enfoca en un estilo agresivo pero hermosamente emotivo que se muestra maravillosamente en su primer lanzamiento en solitario en el sello titulado "Oppression Dance".

'When The Hate Goes Away' es un monstruo techno agotador y exagerado con bombos solidos alicatados a baterías y sintetizadores efervescentes que pone del revés cualquier pista de baile. 

Un trabajo completamente esencial de este 2020.

Track lyrics : 

" What do I really know
overwhelmed, I can’t control

I'm annoyed, paranoid
through the void, I got no soul

Rational, irrational
hysterical, emotional

Hit the dose or meditate
ejaculate, ecstatic state

signals in my blood flow
overwhelmed so slow

Im annoyed, paranoid
the fuck is wrong with thyroid

libido so strong
Stressing out for so long

Cortisol is mandatory
Detox and withdrawal

Bring me back my serotonin
they was born non-binary
tolerate, exterminate
feeling blessed in purgatory

Bring me back my serotonin
they was born non-binary
tolerate, exterminate
feeling blessed in purgatory

Purgatory
Purgatory
Purgatory
Purgatory
Purgatory

signals in my blood flow
overwhelmed so slow

Im annoyed, paranoid
the fuck is wrong with thyroid

Stressing out for so long

Cortisol is mandatory

Bring me back my serotonin
they was born non-binary

Bring me back my serotonin
Eat shit feel like shit

Ohh x4

What do I really know

[PREMIERE] EASTEL - Mixed Emotions [HWVA005]

Translate
Axial Rotation EP
WU67d

Release date march 5 - 2021

Digital
 
1- Axial Rotation
2 - Constant Relay
3 - DNA Inception
4 - Dynamical Approach
5 - Pulsing Signal
 
Argentinian producer Translate has become one of the staples of cosmic and elaborated techno lately, with releases in the mighty Srie records or Subsist. We are super pleased to have him on board with this digital EP comprising five cuts of abstract and scientific dance music.


Axial Rotation starts the engine with a fast paced groove, heavily bass fuelled with a continuous synth line moving across the basement. All sound elements are constantly mutating and evolving although the mood is linear and loopy.


Constant Rely is a proper scfi exercise, bleeps, soft 808 drums, space and liquidity.Ideal as a dj tool to add spice to harsher tracks.


DNA Inception follows, again sine waves sequenced wisely, Bleeps and resonant noises and a minimal approach for yet another hi precision dj tool.


Dynamical Approach goes more atmospheric and ethereal with every sound component floating in a massive reverb landscape where bleeps provide the necessary hypnotic component. The feeling is similar to being floating in hyperspace.


Pulsing Signal closes the release in an epic mood, rolling basses and drums, one more time spiced with bleeps and resonant details.

Häxan: The Possession

Oppression

[PREMIERE] äbvsd - Oppression [Häxan]

Oscar Mulero's DJ career has been as prolific and long lasting as the evolution of dance music. As a key figure in its development, Oscar has always absorbed new trends and kept his finger on the pulse of electronic dance music, from the end of the 80’s right up to the present day. It is impossible to understand his genius without taking into account the tireless work he has carried out behind the decks for over two decades. Production-wise he's been releasing records since the late 90’s, with countless 12" vinyls and several studio albums, as well as many remixes for the best players in the scene.

He runs Warm Up, his very own imprint, since 2000 as well as the label PoleGroup Records since 2004, both of which have reached the 50 releases mark. On 2013 he started a series of live A/V performances under several project names like Light and Dark, Biolive and Monochrome AV.

In 2019 he will celebrate his thirty-year career with a very special secret lineup party in Madrid that will be much talked about because of its concept and the quality of the guests.
