Deep Techno

3AM Techno

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!

Alexskyspirit - Tritium (Kontinum Remix)

The last EP in 2020 from A Thousand Details with a special remix from my friend Motion Symmetry. 
This one is a bit more pumping action compared to others, but you will find music for every taste, from the more mental remix from Motion Symmetry, to pumping beats in Fractalizer Vein to big kick in the head like Ropertok Falls. 
Despite this dreadful year, ATD had a great 2020, bringing in my inner creative and pushing boundaries. I take this Description to thank everyone who worked on these releases (Patricia Azevedo, Temudo and all the remixers) and specially the people who supported through feedback, buying the EP's and playing them! THANK YOU ALL! Enjoy this one, 2021 I'll be back

[INST003] JOHANN ARTY -  Irreversible

"Sometimes, darkness is not just an absence of light, but a turning point. A space where you stop, you face everything you have been and what you can no longer be. Every transformation entails changes, and to start a new path, it is necessary to leave something behind." - Trømmel / It can't always be night

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.
