Extracted from the long-awaited DUNA's debut compilation release and now available for your listening pleasure is Mike Parker's "High-Pass Dissection", premiering now on our channel. The track's tireless drilling loop entrances our mental receptors and, through well-repeated sound patterns, provokes a spiritual state of mesmerism. Giving the impression of a course through a spiraling dive with its surrounding drone ambiance, it supplements itself with a steady and stubborn percussion sequence to sustain this hypnotic soundscape that aims, in turn, to none other than our sensory engagement. With its obscurity as a pointy end, High-Pass Dissection carefully embraces and pierces its way into our dormant subconscious, making this track a shimmering example of the producer's more-than-sound method.

Various Artists - Thermal Expansion [SPV010] (Snippets)

@magnapia a.k.a seasoned producer, DJ, and composer Hüseyin Evirgen, announces his second full-length album, ‘QUT’, arriving on Inland’s Counterchange label in March on double vinyl.

After 2 steamrolling EPs of club tracks on the label - now entering its tenth year of action - Magna Pia presents his most complete and advanced body of work to date, weaving a dense narrative of drone, figurative synthesis, bass-heavy electronica, and abstract techno.

Over eight tracks each referencing his rich cultural and musical background, we are treated to a unique overview of a producer at the crest of his art. The word ‘Qut’ is an ancient positive affirmation, in one short word encompassing all that is sacred, pure and good. The Old Turkic term meaning not only ‘good fortune’ and ‘joy’, but in shamanic circles, the ‘wonder of the heavens’, permeates the roots of Evirgen’s multi-heritage history.

That Evirgen expresses his interpretation of this central theme through the marriage of bewitching melodies with atonal, experimental and rumbling electronics is a conscious comment on the distortions and mutations of our Modern Era. We now exist in the digital age of the Technosphere for better or worse, and must seek beauty wherever possible.

The opening ‘Prologue’ invites the listener into a futuristic yet organic sound world, where lush stereo processing goes hand in hand with rumbling bass and subtly detuned drone languages. From the echoes of traditional Uyghur folk music, translated via synthesizers into a glistening slow-diving opus (‘Qizil’), to churning dub-techno adorned with a symphony of evolving sine-waves (‘Venus M’), Evirgen then deploys ‘X’ - a haunting experimental piece composed predominantly with his voice and electronic processing.

The interweaving synth lines of ‘Gudanna’ pierce the fog with a radiant and transcendent club-techno bounce before the ode to the ancient Bronze Age goddess ‘Astarte’ unfolds its snare-driven broken-beat formations. The title track ‘Qut’ embodies by far the heaviest club track of the album, in a deadly, stripped-back moment of future-techno hypnotism. Dancing flames of purple-tongued synthesis are held (just) in line by a wonderfully tough throb of drums.

With his ‘Epilogue’, Magna Pia allows the spectral ideas and concepts laid out across the LP to connect and travel full circle, confirming our suspicions that this could be one of the most coherent and exciting works to emerge in the brave new field of introspective, and sensitive techno-electronic language.

To relaunch his seminal imprint, Infrastructure New York, Function presents his new 12", Green EP. Celebrating 27 years of Function releases this year and the label’s 25th anniversary, the label will serve as an outlet for his new material, reissues of out of print classics from Synewave, Sandwell District and Ostgut Ton (and of course, Infrastructure), as well as developing new artists and launching a long awaited Bandcamp page - exploring the annals of nearly 30 years of the Function sound. No doubt fans will be excited.
As a member of the Sandwell District collective, David Sumner aka Function, from 2007 onward was instrumental in cultivating and ushering in a new sound of dark, cerebral hypnotica - forcing the hand of change in global techno. Green EP serves as a testament to this, further exploring these depths. The EP pays homage to the day when David arrived in Berlin with his green suitcase where his record “Isolation” on Sandwell District was released, hitting the ground running and springboarding into an incredibly successful career, becoming a stalwart DJ/producer, after years as a struggling artist.

Green EP encapsulates the same raw power and hypnotic energy of his genre defining Sandwell District releases Isolation, Anticipation and Variance, updated with a modern flair. Subject f (Function) has clearly transcended, as expressed through the opening track “Initiation” arriving at his “New Designation”. On the b-side Function communicates his divine alignment through the broken beat, etheric “Aeternum (Meridian)”. Finally, Function closes Green EP with a live extraction of “Desire and Memory”, a brooding club stormer in contrast to the more experimental leanings of the original version, which appeared on Rrose’s label Eaux. One thing is clear: Function is back on track and more on form than ever!

Function -  Green EP (INF-025) (Preview)

This is a preview of 'A Swing Is Not A Throw', out on Time To Express under catalog number T2X38.

'A Swing Is Not A Throw' is the indirect result of my decision in 2022 to focus on performing live shows. Every live show is recorded and analysed afterwards. I take notes on which combinations worked best, which transitions to elaborate upon, how to make the whole sound better for the next show. After more than six months of performing live I decided to shape this new material into complete tracks. It was time for a new EP, two years after Echoes From Westbrook Bay. Hence 'A Swing Is Not A Throw'.

KR3.011 

If "Forgiveness of Blood” | KR3.009 was marked by a modern vision of techno voiced by Tensal's sound, this remixes EP chronicles the tension that shapes the sound of the artists involved: SHED, Anthony Linell, Alessandro Adriani and Tensal himself. 

Static and hypnotic waves of strain recur, even though the 4 tracks represent 4 different major expressions of what techno explicitly and implicitly stands for. 

Forgiveness of Blood Remixes - is a distillation of the modernist and nostalgic sound capable of impacting both on the dance-floor and mentally. Four strongly evocative tracks that narrate not only the artists' but also the label's path.
