TIZZ BIZZ

At the end of summer 2024, while recovering from an accident that almost took me out, I threw myself into making my own sounds with my one piece of hardware: the Model:Cycles, an FM synthesizer sequencer groovebox. I started from zero in terms of production chops, spending hours alone during some rough stretches. Anything to sit alongside the tinnitus and the existential dread. During those months, I occasionally posted a few pieces. I didn’t care about perfection. Any seasoned artist might cringe at how basic and simple the work was, and at the fact that I thought it was worth sharing. Thankfully, I don’t give a fuck. I just wanted to put out these “sonic sketches” as a snapshot of what I was feeling during this time and as a marker for what my square one looked like. Some of these sketches (jams really) are muddy and may clip at times. Part of the process I guess?

Eventually, I hit a point where I wanted to explore other moods and more complex forms of production. That felt like the end of an era. I made my own sound without copying anyone or taking any shortcuts. Just me jamming on a sequencer. With that in mind, and knowing full well that Spotify has become the fast food of music, I deleted all my early releases from the app and everywhere else. I’ve compiled my favorite sketches from the past 14 months into this EP. The end of a chapter, but something small and meaningful to me.

To the Glory

Julian Rodriguez & JFR - To the Glory [3rd Avenue]

Another debutant to hit the Particles roster, Deepshader reveals himself through his twin-track "Fragments" EP. Both originals and a pair of remixes complete a Moldovan picture.

A pulsating wave of sound immediately propels "Fragments" forward with dizzying power. Rich chord progressions and bassline prowess combine with ethnic vocal phrasing to create a heady melodic collage, while a heavy beat and lighter percussive cadence provide body-shaking groove. Heavily side-chained throughout, the result is a dramatic and striking work. "Sur" opens with whip-cracking kick, rolling groove and cleverly programmed bassline presence. Hitting its stride over a seven-minute duration, organic instrumentation meanders in freeform glory post-breakdown to create a mesmerising piece that showcases skill and craftsmanship in abundance.

The ‘twin-headed dragon' of Lanvary continue to dominate the underground dance scene with their uniquely crafted works, cooked up in their Moldovan production kitchen. Able to point to over 150 production credits to their name across a decade-long career, the duo have been frequent contributors on such notable imprints as Stellar Fountain, Mistique Music and Balkan Connection. Regulars on Proton Music and Particles, their "Venus" and "Everything You Feel" EPs for the former and "Micromegas", "Slingshot Ride" and "Leviathan" for the latter have consistently seen them creating a stir. Returning to Particles, the Lanvary remix of "Fragments" is thus an immaculately crafted affair that revels in glissando bassline dominance. Evolving in elegant fashion, phrases from the original ripple across the nine-minute piece in shimmering new cadence while a new arpeggio ripples alongside, mirroring the key change found in the bassline. A driving beat and rolling percussive groove complete a stunning reinterpretation.

Another new name to the Particles roster, Andrei Schirca's Nkoder moniker has seen him feature with a string of original and remix material across a ten-year history. Making his debut for Terminal 4 in late 2010, the Moldovan born artist has gone on to feature for the likes of Saturate Audio, Noise Dealers and Balkan Connection with a half-century of production credits. Moreover, his collaboration with Deepshader on "Twice a Sky" was a notable highlight on the "Da Funk pres. Deep Sessions 01" for Silk Music in early 2016. A Particles debutant, a growling bassline and cavernous sub-bass characterise the Nkoder remix of "Fragments". Filtered synth lines and pitch-bent stabs pierce the sonic landscape with analogue saturation while sumptuous pads fill the aural space with texture and depth. Elements from Deepshader's original echo through the remix but Nkoder's skill is to sculpt them into a new and immaculately crafted interpretation that erupts with raw analogue power across the stereo signal in the final movement to superb effect.

Two sparkling new originals plus remixes from Lanvary and Nkoder see "Fragments" coalesce around the work of Deepshader.
