[Surefire Agency] Weekly Roundup November 20 (Jams from our Stream)

Psyk - Time Foundation

After two successful EP releases on the label, Psyk aka Manuel Anós is back on Mote-Evolver inaugurating his first full-length album effort with “Time Foundation”. 
It’s no surprise that Psyk is releasing his debut album on the label as his previous two EPs Distane (2012) and Arcade (2013) both has left us wanting for more to see his full potentials as a producer. 
Time Foundation proves to be an outstanding collection that shows the full spectrum of Psyk’s sound and the range of skills as he expands and explores different depths and moods. Keeping the energy level constant at the peak, there’s no downtime in “Time Foundation”. And while 10 sharp-cut tracks are all armed with clean, streamlined groove and impressive sound design therefore may sound incredibly slick and effortless, once you listened closely - and they will demand your attention - that kind of breezing through swift force is only the byproduct of Psyk’s high caliber production ability to map out meticulous structures with a great detail.   
The opener “Automatic” rolls like a well-oiled machine on cruise control with the signature unison of single-chord bouncing on top of relaxed but energetic groove. Expanding on the similar theme is “Myriad”, which takes further playful approach. “Riot” steps into more minimal territory, featuring a subtle development that keeps you engaged while “Avalon” grounds itself to just-heavy enough bass kicks to evoke deeper vibe without compromising the uplifting spirit.
Slipped in the middle of the album like an intermission is “Five”, and it’s a curious and ominous kind that flashes a different side of Psyk. It shows off his craftsmanship as muted and muffled beeps faintly goes in and out while blinking synth melody renders unique, intriguing beauty. Starting off the second half is “Silhouette”, picking up the tempo and elevating the mood with much-loved bass drums and claps, followed by demure crescendo of melody and floating fuzzy hiss of “Shift”.  
Perhaps the darkest number on the album, “Nine” may not be the most brooding techno assault but the one designed for the deeper moments you encounter during the longer sessions in the clubs, surrounded by people yet alone with the pulse of music. The album closes with stunning “L3”, and just as “Automatic” was no shy intro but a practical fast-forward to the jest of the story, “L3” is not a conventional closing but rather another opening. Equal parts of swinging white noise and hint of acid may as well invite you back to the beginning of the album to listen all over again.
Time Foundation is packed with no-frills, on-point straight techno tracks. It’s a highly functional album and strong effort from Psyk that spoils the listener with mesmerizing details and provides the diversity of sounds and textures today’s techno has to offer.

Mikkel Metal - Kenton (Marcel Dettmann Remix)

Stroboscopic Artefacts presents the Monad series. Rarefied and introspective, confrontational and extreme, each featured artist will delve into the Monad concept: "The generation of number series is related to objects of geometry as well as cosmogony. From the Monad evolved the Dyad; from it numbers; from numbers, points; then lines, two-dimensional entities, three-dimensional entities, bodies, culminating in the four ele - ments earth, water, fire and air, from which the rest of our world is built up."
Kangding Ray’s Monad XI is a fierce exploration of points of origin. With track titles referring to a circle, a stork, a river and a desert, the compositions are filled with abstract references to the four elements. These tropes emerge in the form of dizzying aqueous loops, arid beats, punishingly dark pads, and splintering top lines. This is music which emerges from a sound design process where spontaneity is just as prised as structure. With one ear always attuned to the coincidental, Kangding Ray's Monad is not just capable of demolishing dance floors, but also bristles with brilliantly curious details.

Kangding Ray 'Monad XI' [SAM011]

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.
