Next up on Tentacular is @a-m-u-w-a —  DJ and producer hailing from Sydney/Eora. He has been a strong go-to and inspiration for the past few years. It was delightful to meet him in person this summer during his visit to Paris. Born and raised in the urban sprawl of Sydney CBD, amuwa now brings a decade of musical development to a culmination, seamlessly blending design and emotion.

Make sure to check out his debut album, 'Force Majeure' if you haven't already. The EP draws from formative experiences immersed in the sounds of city noise, industrial zones, natural amphitheaters, and packed dance floors. Familiar strains of electro, trance, and bass music shift and meld into new, hybrid forms, driven by a synthetic-organic logic. We’ve also seen a remarkable track, 'Goblin' featured in the first @a-biotic VA. Definitely keeping a keen eye on what's coming next from him. I've had a chance to listen to a few tracks in preparation, and I can assure you they are sizzling hot.

He shared a few words about his recording:

"This mix represents my recent interpretations of the many unexpected and somewhat unusual stylistic crossovers between previously isolated areas of the wider modern electronic dance music soundscape. In this way, I wanted to tell a story of energetic ebb and flows within a higher tempo and how diverse faster-tempo music has become and is experienced today. We hear moments of hypnotic, half-time, and heavier sensibilities, and my goal was to place these moments in a stimulating and influence-melding narrative. I adore the work of the artists included in this mix, and I hope you enjoy listening.”

I truly enjoyed it and am very happy to share this with you now. Thanks for your trust and for joining the Tentacular family, Josh.

Tentacular revient avec un mix de @a-m-u-w-a , DJ et producteur originaire de Sydney/Eora. Il a été pour moi une référence forte et une source d'inspiration au cours des dernières années. C'était un plaisir de le rencontrer en personne cet été lors de son passage à Paris. Né et élevé dans l'agitation urbaine du centre-ville de Sydney, amuwa apporte dix ans de développement musical à son apogée, mêlant harmonieusement design et émotion.

Son premier album, "Force Majeure", est à (re)découvrir d’urgence si vous l’avez manqué. L'EP puise dans des expériences formatrices immergées dans les sons du bruit de la ville, des zones industrielles, des amphithéâtres naturels et des pistes de danse bondées. Des souches familières d'électro, de trance et de bass music se déplacent et se fondent en de nouvelles formes hybrides, animées par une logique synthétique-organique. Un autre morceau remarquable "Goblin" est sorti sur le premier VA @a-biotic. On garde un œil attentif sur ses prochaines productions. J'ai eu l'occasion d'écouter quelques morceaux en préparation, et ils sont bouillants!

Il a partagé quelques mots à propos de son enregistrement :

"Cette mixtape représente mes interprétations récentes des nombreux croisements stylistiques inattendus et quelque peu inhabituels entre des zones auparavant isolées du paysage sonore plus large de la musique électronique moderne. Ainsi, je voulais raconter une histoire d'oscillations énergétiques dans un tempo plus élevé et montrer à quel point la musique à tempo rapide est devenue diverse et est vécue aujourd'hui. Nous entendons des moments d'hypnose, de « half-time » et de sensibilités plus lourdes. Mon objectif était de placer ces moments dans une narration stimulante et influente. J'adore le travail des artistes inclus dans cette mixtape, et j'espère que vous apprécierez l'écoute."

Un véritable coup de cœur pour moi que je suis ravie de partager sur tentacular <3

Fractal Void - Elemental Collection
@fractalvoi_d

Fractal Void is an avant-garde duo based in Düsseldorf, Germany. Their experimental music blends electronic and contemporary genres located somewhere in the field of musical tension between ambient, drone, halfstep and floor-affine IDM. During their live sets, Fractal Void create vertical reflections by processing sounds through software and interaction with real instruments in every unique musical performance like the Chinese contemporary calligraphic practice Dishu.

Their debut album Elemental Collection unveils a dense and lavishly layered transformation of artificial organic signals, sculpting an auditory world filled with emotive landscapes, overgrown polyrhythms and futuristic elements. Embedded within each track are field recordings serving as the heartbeat of the album. Through innovative and expansive deconstruction, Fractal Void create an energetic and sometimes contemplative experience.

The persons behind Fractal Void:
Back in 2008, their musical journey began with winning a Spectrasonics competition using field recordings of a locker door, that was implemented as a bass synth. Their collaboration was continued as producers of the eight-piece electronic jazz project „Mothers of Guru“.

Marcus Scheltinga is a composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist. Besides studying jazz trombone at the Conservatorium Hilversum and the Folkwanghochschule, he works as a musical director, lecturer and coach in 39 countries around the world. From ZDF sound design to live and studio performances with international greats, his own productions have included such as Grammy winner Larry Carlton and Peter Erskine. Mid-east and Indian inspired, Marcus is a true story teller as a musician and composer.

BORGBORG is a producer and DJ. She moves freely in different styles of electronic music with a focus on avant-garde driving techno, dark hypnotic vibes seamlessly blended with deconstructed beats, noise and timeless elements of IDM.

The Den of Spirits. This EP explores the darkest corners of artificial consciousness, where entities forgotten by time and technology awaken in the form of glitches, distortion, and deep frequencies. Each track is a sonic portal to a psychedelic techno-spiritual dimension, where the human and the synthetic collide.
