002 (Mechanist Retexture)

Quadrant Soundscape presents In Focus 004

The 4th installment of our In:Focus Series delves deep into a record label that we feel ticks all the boxes when it comes to the sounds and ideas we love. 
We present to you, spclnch.

"Spacelunch" (short. spclnch) is a Dutch electronic music label with an emphasis on the dub sound founded in Minsk in 2019 by Thomas Carmody. The key ethical principles are an individual approach and a careful selection which allows you to get the best possible from the communication with artists.

The concept of releases is dedicated to a fantastic multimedia universe. The space adventures of Spacelunch and Cat unfold in episodes of an interactive musical comic. Each of them has an original script, and they are connected by a consistent storyline.

When putting together this mix, what was very apparent that in a relatively short period of time since 2019, there has been easily enough music for us to put out a second volume, and it would be equally as high calibre and the mix we bring you here. Such is the nature of spclnch's catalogue. For this mix though, we aimed to represent as many artists on their roster, and to showcase the amazing range that exists within the label, from Ambient, Minimal, Detroit and straight up Dub Techno....spclnch has you covered!


spclnch offers all the following:
spclnch podcast – guest compilations integrated into the label's theme which we are very proudly a part of.
Choose your color – tracks with their own unique color in a black and white universe. Exclusively on Bandcamp.
Season – the final recitation of the season with a musical accompaniment of 10 compositions.
spclnch recommends – recommendations from third-party sources.

And you can find everything and more here:

In Focus 004: spclnch

The laws of physics give rise to complex systems that lead to the unravelling of particles of the intelligent substance. Under certain conditions, a rare item of a frozen igneous rock can cause a change in the fundamental properties of matter. The journey through brain synapses confirms the existence of consciousness at the quantum level.

"So much for beta testing of mechanical amplitudes… I knew it! I told you, no guests in the orbital workshop until the final correction of the trajectory!", — Spacelunch managed to put on a spacesuit before complete depressurization. He was incredibly lucky that the destruction of the compartment had occurred before the emergency evacuation, and it did not develop into ebullism.

Cat was out for some time, making smooth somersaults around its axis. Almost all important developments were destroyed by decompression or turned inside out. Laboratory utensils, fuel system tubes torn to shreds, favourite doughnuts, even fragments of a travelator with its shattered glass cloches as tall as a human — everything was subjected to the silent vacuum torture.

On the eve of the launch of a new intelligence campaign, such circumstances could mean a collapse of technological equipment and a long restoration of the theoretical base. It is not easy to be smart in outer space, especially when the breathing mixture is running out, and the body becomes uncontrollable in the absence of a winch…

Ekin Fil - Hidden Place 
Rosewood Untitled EP [re:38 / re:st]

Produced by Ekin Üzeltüzenci aka Ekin Fil
Mastered by Deeskee
Artwork by Lcp
Released by re:st from Berne, Switzerland
Release Date : January 13th. 2023
Format - Vinyl and Digital

Turkish producer Ekin Üzeltüzenci aka Ekin Fil debuts on re:st with her Rosewood Untitled LP. The experimental, lo-fi folk and ambient artist, hailing from Istanbul, presents a warm and colorful collection of ambient works inspired by the resistance of nature. Most of the songs on the album were written and composed under the influence of big forest fires that lasted for days in over 50 cities in the summer of 2021 in Turkey as in many areas of the world as well. The music in the album tries to touch on the extinction after the fire, trying to understand the pain of existence and tries to believe that the forest will regenerate itself again.

@ozwalddublin returns to @floodireland next month with a brand new four-track EP, 'Degrees Of Freedom'.

On the record's title track, Ozwald layers dark, droning synths under rapid 4/4 percussion, setting the pace for an EP exploring the corners of leftfield techno.

Premiere: Ozwald 'Degrees Of Freedom'

Sublunar Records hosts the first and longest release by Paleman on its catalogue and welcomes, in this way, a new member to the label family. From this release, which will be officially out on the 13th of January, we are delighted to share the track Procession, an eerily drifting piece that floats over hazy sonic terrains. By starting first with firm kicks, the sequence enters next into an alluring and subtle atmospheric turbulence that dominates the senses with its clearness and repetitiveness. This dream-like, ethereal loop with its steady pumps is employed wonderfully in a way that exalts the mystified Procession Paleman aims to depict.

Icelandic dub techno icon, Aðalsteinn Guðmundsson, known as Yagya, is one of few artists we have encountered that prefer the LP format over EPs. Having consistently released an album every few years for more than 20 years, Yagya is about to release his 9th studio album, "Faded Photographs" later this month. Yagya described the LP as his "most involved and time-consuming project to date" and also pointed out that it "marks an exceptionally confident return to the art of songwriting". The album features vocals from Saint Sinner, Benoit Piolard, Bandreas, but the majority of the tracks on the album contain vocals solely from Guðmundsson himself. 

Today, we are honored to present the opening track from "Faded Photographs" - "The Downpour". The track emits many emotions we have come to expect from Yagya's work, nostalgia, melancholy, even mourning. Featuring strings from Pablo Hopenhayn, the track really gives a taste of what feelings to expect as one embarks on the rest of the album's journey.  Yagya described the album as being "an utterly seamless experience, demanding to be heard as a whole", so it only felt right to premiere the opening track as to not interrupt the intended flow.
"Faded Photographs" comes out on Yagya's own Small Plastic Animals on March 17, 2023

Timofey is a vinyl collector and DJ from St. Petersburg, a resident of the Kazan BNF community and the ex-Petersburg CREWQ formation (currently based in Tbilisi).
"On New Year's Eve 2022/2023 the author managed to break his leg and was confined to his apartment for quite a long time. After I put down a few extra pillows on my chair, I began to practice mixing records in a sitting position. I recorded an almost three-hour session then cut out the best part from it, which I present as a podcast. Many thanks to Borya Nikitin for mastering and to my wife Ilona for love and patience! ❤️ "
