KR3.005 

A Day in the Life - is the first chapter of a dedicated series fully curated by Steve Bicknell for KR3. 

This bold new work by the veteran English artist provides an insight into the mind of the artist. 

Side A features three tracks by The Evader, another face of Steve Bicknell. An obscure intro leads us straight to the point: 4/4 sounds, repetitive and hypnotic, not afraid to be heavy. In fact, that's the point: to take everything that is a burden to us and embrace it. After all, there can be no light without darkness. 

On Side B, Steve Bicknell has a killer approach. A parallel rail to Side A, with a more furious, still gloomy approach. He moves in the same direction but vents different emotions. The sound is harder, rawer, faster and more impetuous. 
An outro ends the EP, as if to represent a circle closing: The first lap inside A day in the life.

Premiere: Tripeo - The Reckoning

Mike Parker is a heavy hitting Techno artist. The New Yorker pulls no punches, just delivers them in the form of powerful percussion and hypnotic harmonies. With two decades of experience behind him "Modulation Cave" was always going to be something special. The two tracker is born in the collapsing pressure of “Modulation Cave 1.” Bleary eyed bass bubbles and boils in this heated piece of late night Techno debauchery. Melodies creep while a battery of beats disintegrates nerve endings. The flip is occupied by the twin, “Modulation Cave 2.” The brother in arms is a calmer affair, but that cyclical tension is ever present. The steady percussion of the original is maintained with harmonies being sent beaming into space. Radio waves bounce from above, liquefied electricity leaking through to the world below. Machine mesmerism from the US producer. Vinyl only to be released in July 2014.

Everyone is a moon and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody. Judas aka JUDAΣ is back with one of the biggest collection of records since today, presenting more sides of his vision as the artist and as a conceptual persona, these are 4 Cuts that brilliantly put you in the zone, right when the needle drop on the record. Judas present this project in 2 parts, both part of the same creature, and of the same concept, 'Unsaid' goes far beyond the usual aspect of the functionality, in this case, functionality is a pure tool, every single work shows you a path into his mind.

Six years on since his latest appearance on the label’s main series, Stroboscopic Artefacts boss Luca Mortellaro, aka Lucy, returns with ‘Dyscamupia’ – an introspective, multisensory techno triptych revolving around the core sequence of Albert Camus’ classic existentialist novel, ‘The Stranger’. Also known as the ‘killing of an arab’, this pivotal moment in Camus’ seminal book – which also inspired The Cure their song ‘Killing An Arab’ back in the day, is here evoked through three variedly intense, deep and hypnotic techno variations – flexing from 120 to 130, onto 140 BPM – each of them translating a particular step in the author’s minute, focal-shifting depiction of the unknown man’s murder on the beach.   

Embodying Meursault for a minute, Jason Snell lends his voice to the narrator and his inner demons, casting a strange, ominous spell on the club and its crowd. Willing to explore and dig up further into the textural wealth and crucial warmth of organic sounds and synthetic treatments, Lucy made wise use of the binaural microphones technology during the vocals recording process, greatly enhancing the immersive force of his compositions to create thoughtful, dystopic narrative bubbles that stand in their own right.

The first number, ‘ Dyscamupia (Forward)’, happens before and right until the actual killing – hence time flowing at a metronomic, heartbeat-like tempo; the second cut ‘Dyscamupia (Pause)’ takes place right after the nameless man’s death, when the narrator enters a kind of existential ‘pause’ and a whole new flow of consciousness begins; the third sequence, ‘Dyscamupia (Backward)’, plumbs the depths of the action itself as played backwards, like an equally hazed-out and dizzying reminiscence of the sad encounter’s mechanism. Don’t let its seemingly conceptual framework fool you though, like most of his past output ‘Dyscamupia’ also aims to bring dancefloors to a steady simmer, whilst maintaining Lucy’s ascending momentum towards an all-round genre-busting, thought-provoking apex.

AQR016 // Téo Dréan - 3x500 EP

Tracklist:
3x500
10x400

Release Description:
Making his Aquaregia debut, Téo Dréan presents two stimulating cuts, sonifying the fluid dichotomy between pleasure and pain. 

3x500 opens the release with a dreamy and dripping circuit. Grounded with a rumbling triplet bass, a reverberating acid stab strides alongside to reach the home stretch; a rising arpeggio enveloped in euphoria. Out of breath, the arpeggio reaches its highest point before falling back into its galloping rhythm, restarting once more.

10x400 forges ahead with a booming kick and hypnotizing percussion running the length of the track. Escorted by gentle sweeping pads, we're led to a possessing 303 as it meanders through the course. Lost in thought, the dizzy tension winds its way back to reality, relieved by the thunderous bass.

Artist: Téo Dréan
Title: 3x500 EP
Label: Aquaregia Records
Catalogue: AQR016

3x500 EP

Téo Dréan - 3x500 (Preview) - AQR016

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.
