Artist: Joline Scheffler
Title: We The Artists EP (Incl.FS Bart Remix)
Catalog Number: MOC038
Label: made of CONCRETE
Release Date: 22.09.2023

RELEASE INFO:
Rebar's 'made of Concrete' label has now amassed a cohesive catalogue of Techno with a clear aesthetic; raw, dubby sonics are presented with a greyscale finish and a mood that suits sophisticated, big-room spaces.  

Jeremy P Caulfield, Markus Suckut and Alexander Kowalski have featured so far and next up is a pair of releases from propitious producer and Mötet resident Joline Scheffler backed up with a remix from long term friend of the label FS Bart. 

Across a panoply of podcasts, Scheffler has showcased her deep and varied influences. Her mixes are cogent collections which draw from 90s Electronica, Dub, Deep House, Electro - and almost all other conceivable corners of Electronic music - which she manages to braid together with a consistent thread of understated class. 

In the first of her 2 releases for 'made of Concrete' - Scheffler projects these influences across 2 accomplished tracks, the first of which is an exercise in rich, spectral Dub Techno. A burnt out kick ticks under a rich bed of swirling smoke as nifty hats and shakers send reverberated high frequencies darting across the surface.  

'Space Sugar' then follows up with a more urgent groove. Delays, reverbs and drums are subtly manipulated in a live jam as the track rolls out to captivating effect. FS Bart then closes things up with a remix that sits in the sweet spot between murky and mobile as kinetic hats and a quick tempo propel luscious pads and flexing synth tones.

Delsin welcomes Spanish techno icon Reeko to their Cameron series. Pushing his impressive take on techno for the past 20 years he keeps re-inventing himself, with a recent move on Berlin's Samurai Music presenting a full drum & bass EP as perfect example of this. And also here for Delsin, it's a fresh approach exploring new sides of techno. It's broken and wiggly with dreamy riffs tying it all together. Uplifting mountain valley techno combined with stepping off-beat kick drum jams. It's a flawless pack where Reeko shows he's capable of creating playful heads down techno of any kind.

Harnessed Life in Programmed Form

Track from NE70 CA2+ — Overtone Widow LP
Out on LP and digital March 27th.

The enduring balance and precision fractures in CA2+'s earlier works for Northern Electronics only hint at the ferocity of his latest release, 'Overtone Window.' Assembling itself into troubling rhythmic rises that break of their own accord, finding more efficient models within its own feedback, each track sharpens itself with every movement.

Produced and recorded by Andreas Lübeck in Sweden 2018-2019.
Mastered by Neel at EnissLab, Rome.

Sharing the same forward-facing approach to techno music, it was about time that Roman DJ and producer Adiel lands her debut EP on Stroboscopic Artefacts. Just a few months on from the drop of the label’s anniversary compilation ‘X – Ten Years of Artefacts’, featuring the broadest array of talents including Rrose, Shifted, Efdemin, Denise Rabe, Chevel, Lucy and more, the timing couldn’t be better for both her and Lucy’s mind-expanding visions to unify.

Following on from an array of 12-inches on her own imprint, including a recent joint effort with Anthony Linell, ‘If Not Now When?’ is an ode to the all-enveloping strangeness of eternal nights that cuts a path of ecstatic light in the dark. Breaking the ice, the title-track plunges us in an effervescing pool of menacing reverbs, bloopy signals and rippling synth tides on a murky tip, while its faster and sharper twin ‘At The Bottom Of The Sea’ vigorously ups the ante to ensure optimal peak time firepower.

Flip sides and here’s ‘If Not Me Who’ diving even deeper into tape-echo’ed bizarro, swashing back and forth from blunt lo-freq frenzy to liquid-like levitation. ‘ESRR’ rounds off the package on a further freaky note, merging heavily processed vocals and swampy, octave-shifting keyboard movements to form a slice of wild, cross-pollinated electronics laid upon a much enticing techno swing. The very epitome of surgically executed dance music with a fascinatingly soulful, nearly shamanic edge to it.

Adiel - If Not Now When? [SA036]

Form and Void

Form and Void (Reeko remix)

Form and Void (Original Mix)

Back in 2009, Italian DJ and producer Luca Mortellaro - better known simply as Lucy - established the Stroboscopic Artefacts label. And over the last 14 years, the imprint has nurtured a reputation for its line-blurring electronic abstraction and dancefloor experimentation, releasing influential material by artists like Speedy J, Kangding Ray, Donato Dozzy, Paula Temple, Rrose, Ben Klock, Wanton Witch, and of course Lucy themselves. Naturally following the label's ten year threshold, the pandemic pause and Mortellaro's subsequent artistic re-evaluation, OTHER FACTS emerges as a fresh entity, fully unplugged from Stroboscopic Artefacts' dancefloor mainframe, with its gaze pointed on widescreen cinematic sound design and audio-visual art.
