2 Graviton

9 Spheroid
 
PWCCA is making waves lately into the proper techno community, coming from Madrid, this veteran producer has been releasing under diverse aliases since a long time and has been in the tracklists of the most innovative dj’s around in a constant basis.
 
For this digital release he provides an extended player comprising  9 cuts ranging from cosmic landscapes to bleepy and space inspired techno, also including proper rythmic tools.
 
Magnetic field opens the stellar travel with dark processed textures and alien landscapes, setting the mood for Graviton startimg the flow with slow paced beats, distorted textures and walking toms spiced with micro synthetic details.
 
Pulsar begings with a bell like Fm sequence and sharpened hi hats until hi sweeping drones took over the arrangement in the last minutes. Quasar follows with swinging bass frequencies that evolve ina continuous loop until the end of the track.
 
EMC2 fattens the kick drum, adds a profound reverb while an hypnotic sequence grows from below alongside a groovy analog bassline. Singularity has a hi passed filtered sequence as starring, mutating, shaping and evolving constantly. Dones and textures add density to the exercise.
 
Warmhole honours the title with darkened opaque sounds that contrast with the detailed hi frequency percussive workout, again in an hypnotic continuously evolving arrangement.
Lepton uses flanger and modulation to create a liquid and asymmetrical feeling and Spheroid closes the release as it started, with an ambient track ideal to be used as tool or intro.
 
One more time we provide serious techno in this selfie and teenage ruled days.

Preview - PWCCA - Physical Laws LP - WU061d

The Attic Music label strives to keep us dancing in these difficult times with a new EP from red hot young Portuguese talent Nørbak featuring a remix from the label’s owner Fabrizio Lapiana. 

Over the last four years, Artur Moreira has quickly established his avant-garde techno sound on labels like Semantica, Soma, Warm Up Recordings and his own label, Hayes. Always exploring the deep and dark end of the spectrum, he has picked up props from the likes of Oscar Mulero and Dasha Rush while going on to establish his name around Europe with killer sets at places like Tresor in Berlin. 

The excellent 'Pledge I' opens up with a menacing groove that burrows late into an underground cavern. It sounds earthy and organic and the rock solid kick drums get you into a state of hypnosis while the scurrying synths add more details in which to get lost. 'Pledge II' is another masterfully heady and journeying track that layers up more rubbery, propulsive kick drums with fizzing, electrified synth sounds and pads that encircle you and get you into a state of trance. It's hugely warm and atmospheric. 

Over the last decade, Lapiana and his label have become synonymous with evocative techno soundscapes on the finest labels around. Here he serves up a remix of 'Pledge III' that is perfectly smooth and seductive, with soft, looping melodic phrases slowly shapeshifting and melting your mind as they do so. The drums burrow deep into the night and make this a timeless minimal techno classic.  Last of all, 'Pledge IV' is a silky techno track that rolls to infinity, with cosmic pads and subtle melodies all weaving around each other and tying your brain in knots.  

This is another tasteful EP of high grade techno that works mind, body and soul.

The Portugese Rita Maomenos is a Rotterdam based dj and producer who is drawn to hypnotic sounds and obscure atmospheres. Her journey started when she played at underground raves in Mannheim (Germany) and ever since she worked hard to further develop herself as an artist. This resulted in her being a former host on Frission Radio and releases on LXVIII and Trau-ma.

For Salon 007 she aimed for a sinister adventure which consists of otherworldly dystopian sounds. This has led to an atmosphere in which you can drift away with a well found balance between straightforward 4x4 and off-beat lows.

Vakat - Klangangriff Podcast #46

From the dangerous part of the city of Montevideo, Uruguay in the late ’90s, William started his journey in music at the early age of 11 helping programming music and DJing for a pirate radio station.

Since that moment, he never stopped to define his own style and taste of music while improving his technical skills.

In 2009 he started to release his own productions under different monikers, releasing several works in digital and physical format.

In 2017 things changed when the decision was made to focus exclusively on his new project called William Arist and also the launch of his own record label Perseverancia Records.

Since then, he has played with artists such as Anastasia Kristensen, CTRLS, Adriana Lopez, Aleja Sanchez, Dax J, DVS1, Eduardo De La Calle, Ellen Allien, Kolpos, Mekas, Pfirter, P.E.A.R.L., Setaoc Mass, Vinicius Honorio and many more.

His eclectic productions have seen his music land on a variety of labels such as Animal Farm (UK), DEAD CERT. Records (UK), Tauten (SRB), Abstraction (CUB), Liberta (UK), Knowledge Imprint (ZA) amongst others.

His music has been supported by artists like Richie Hawtin, Charlotte de Witte, Joris Voorn, Truncate, Ben Sims, Cari Lekebusch, Tensal, Dave Clarke, Drumcomplex etc etc…

RL. 004 CONCEPTUAL

Sarf is one of those artists who stay true to their own values regardless to the trends. Since his first steps in electronics, he has shaped progressively his own approach to djing and producing. In 2015, time has come for the Spanish artist to open his own lab Analog section, a name that purposely emphasizes his dedication to the physical aspect of electronics. In addition to his own outputs, his imprint has hosted so far the most cutting edge and well established producers around such as Alexey Volkov, Joton, Pulse one, Takaaki Itoh and his partner in crime Kalter Ende.

Whether through his own material or his sets, Sarf transmits a complex vision of Techno: dark, mental and percussive yet with subtle industrial elements. His dj skills got quickly noticed in Spain as his sound has already hit clubs like Fabrik or Family. No doubt about seeing him massively impacting the scene in the near future.

Michel Lauriola - Point Of Disorder EP - Children Of Tomorrow

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.
