Unrealistic Expectations

@dysfunctionalfamily

The contemporary cross-pollination of electronic genres and styles has a way of bringing out the very best of daring, boundary-pushing musicians and creatives. Hailing from Essenbach, Germany, the contemporary producer and songwriter duo Dysfunctional Family has a bevy of obvious talents all suffusing together; from synth work to drum programming, harmonic interplay, and the massaging of the vibe, their work has a way of setting the bar a few notches higher, and is consequently gestating a particularly driven sound. As a result, The Rust is extraordinarily excited to present their latest minted works, the 10-track LP A Day At The Beach.

Walking through the front door of the album puts the listener on prime, beachfront real-estate; A Day At The Beach is quintessentially a collection of downbeat, IDM-infused tracks that flip between pulsating low end and extremely lush compositional dialogue. The overarching musical narratives are brought to life through potent Reese synthesis and hyper-dextrous percussion anchored to the interplay of chords, leads, lone piano lines, and a panoply of glitch motifs and manipulated audio artifacts. The beauty of the album is both its expansive palette and it's incredibly tight songwriting fundamentals, showcasing a creative mind that's as compositionally focused as it is exploratory, and the marriage of risk and reward plays out across every single track on the LP. Regardless of where your tastes lay on spectrum, A Day At The Beach has the right blend of ingredients and right attitude to appeal to any and all ears and minds at large.

@tahabdra

We're excited to premier the track "Khatam" off the Boston based duo Tahabdra's new EP titled "Hedron." This 90 bpm 4 on the floor psychedelic rhythmic stomper explores many different soundscapes tuned to their unique tuning system using the biologically beneficial frequency 528Hz along with the golden ratio and Fibonacci sequence to provide a positive effect on the body & striving to ease tension through the use of the numerical roots of the natural world. 

The Tahabdra duo consists of drummer/electronic musician Josh Weinberg and producer/DJ Wiggz Caro who met while attending Berklee College of Music in Boston. The combo provides a natural integration of electronic elements with with the soothing flow of live percussion. 

Be sure to check out the rest of this EP, with soundcloud track premieres by Aspire Higher, Multi Music, and The Gradient Perspective as well as the full EP release through Visionary Shamanic Records, coming out this Friday, 9/25!

Tahabdra - Khatam [PREMIERE]

These four tracks have been in the making for well over a year; a year spent revisiting, reviving, and reinvigorating them with much love and care. These are some of my most emotional works, focusing more on the flow of tension and release rather than on technicality or pure experimentation.

The word “visceral” references deep emotion and intuition, in contrast to logic or reason. Placed next to “planet” in the title of this work, it exemplifies our Earth’s tendency to act intuitively and express its innermost fire. Its creatures are driven by instinct and are fueled by palpable, deep-rooted feeling.

~ The dream state is a part of consciousness in which we can experience emotion, often without limitations imposed by logic. “Dewdrop” is a nod to a song by Cocteau Twins, whose music reverberates through the depths of my own dreams, and whose ethereal influence is felt subtly throughout this body of work. Likewise, we are able to manifest these dreams into waking life and orchestrate our own soundtrack.

~ The title track is a convergence of our planet’s elemental emotions: its nurturing soil, mournful winds, cleansing rain, and eruptions of fire. It lives through these with vehemence, and vulnerability; both polarities are expressed in this track.

~ Our reality is built upon the fundamental fabric of space-time, which itself is not concrete, but flows, warps, and wobbles in a dance with the masses of our Universe. Earth’s mere existence creates a distortion in the geometry of this fabric.

~ Our planet rides along the grooves of the sun’s distortions. Sunlight begets all life on our planet, and is our source of light and warmth. This final track encapsulates the sparkling radiance of our star and the way its heat blankets us, and how it creates an impression on us both physically and emotionally.
