Ancient echoes reflect off futurist forms.
A sonic portrait of the post anthropic figure.
Alien and intimate.

Andy Garvey's Euphorique is finding balance between divine pads and collapsing percussion, wrapping up the compilation.

EM008 — "Hyperlost" by Raär + Whylie

A testament to catharsis of body and mind, an homage to sentiment and intrigue.

‘Hyper:lost’ purveys two interlinked but distinct sides of an artist whose reputation has spanned a long and ever maturing path of sonic development. Where Raär’s signature intricacy manifests in the grittier ‘hyper’ half of ‘hyper:lost’, Whylie counters with the haunted but sentimental spatiality of the other - the ‘lost’.

For this is like a search through the dialectic of the machine; energetic fluxes and frenetic textural modulations of the hyperreal encounter swirls of melancholy and lush human washes of its seeker. These are the contradictions of a determinedly uncertain pursuit; of a head charge into the void.

Twin parts diagnosis and remedy of a present insanity. Heads down and knees up for the end.

With ‘Sliding Doors’, Eora producer, Sanguine, greets Lost Properties with an elegant blend of ambient, dub and downtempo, full of skittering echoes and textural ear candy. 

‘Gone To Taste A Dream’ opens with lush pads and twinkly keys, before giving way to blissed out drums at 100bpm. Picking up the pace, ‘Push Not Pull’ postulates atmospheric breakbeat through tablas and congas, echoing out into the void. ‘Denture Venture’ casts its gaze to the stars, with a wide-eyed bass roller, replete with found sounds and smooth washes of noise. Opening with an eerie tone, ‘Ear Gum’ gives way to crunchy breaks and chirping synths.

Rich in detail and intricate in approach to rhythm, Sanguine delivers a love letter to dub, equally indebted to ambient voyagers like Purelink as it is to Skee Mask.

French disrupter Jan Loup debuts on Nerve Collect with a new EP that channels her emotional response to events of the last year into a bold collision of dubstep, breakbeats and drum and bass. Maquis Son Sistèm as well as label co-founder Gamma Intel remix two tracks on the EP which arrives digitally on May 18th.

This EP, "In My Fury", is the sound of her channelling personal challenges into empowering music that serves as a soundtrack to a therapeutic warrior dance. 'Shanti' opens up with lurching broken beats and malfunctioning percussion against a backdrop of witchy wordless mantras. It's a dense and eerie dystopian world that leads into the more ethereal 'Oda Damo Asodi' backlit by celestial white light as ghoulish sounds and fractured drums come at you from all directions. 'Mojo Nosoa' is jittery dubstep with menacing low ends and jumbled metal sounds conveying the breakdown of a factory and 'In My Fury' is built on a heavy half-time rhythm that fizzes with caustic sounds.

First to remix is Maquis Son Sistèm aka Stefan Dubs, a sound system music innovator who tangles disparate sounds into trance-inducing rhythms. His take on 'Shanti' is a deeply hypotonic world of loopy sound detailed with sonic bacteria, alien life forms...  more

NC006 // Jan Loup - In My Fury EP

@fletcherdobsonharper remixed by @auto-genesis

Recently rising from the dynamic underground electronic music scene of Naarm FDH brings us ‘The Alpinist’, inspired by the alpine regions around Jaitmatang and Ngarigo country in south-eastern Australia where he spent much of his youth. Drawing from multiple musical influences and his varied taste in sound, FDH’s soundscapes in this EP are as diverse and unique as the alpine landscapes they evoke.

‘The Alpinist’ emerges as a testament to FDH’s dedication to push boundaries and conjure new sonic worlds. With a visible attention to detail in production, FDH delicately weaves deep textures, driving rhythms, and contrasting elements, inviting listeners on an exhilarating auditory adventure.

FDH - Carruthers (Autogenesis remix)

Plunge into unexplored sonics with Paris-based Australian artist al dente as he unveils his debut EP on Pure Space titled ‘multiform’.

Across the release al dente assembles a hypnotic merger of eerie atmospheres and playful rhythms, inviting listeners to immerse themselves in a world that is both deeply mysterious and unexpectedly fun.

Kicking off the EP is "the temptation," a subtly bass fueled cut that casts murky textures across mesmitic delayed melodies with a pitched vocal sample holding the journey steady. It's instantly captivating and sets the tone of the release for a journey into deeply satisfying electronix.

Transitioning seamlessly into "multiform," al dente unleashes a torrent of slippery beats and twisted synths. Playful in spirit, the track balances its propelling bassline with a crispy four to the floor beat - perfect for warming the floor or a freaky late night adventure.

Flipping the switch, al dente ups the pace on “overnight”. With sharp, skippy rhythms and glitchy nuances the track melts together proto-electro with a modern production sheen. The vocal samples a Croatian soccer commentator, a nod to his family's Croatian heritage and continuation of the playful nrg throughout the EP.

Completing the release comes Melbourne-based producer White Fluff’s remix of “overnight”. Injecting the track with his signature blend of psychedelic sound, the remix feels stripped back yet purposeful, adding a new sonic pallet to the release. It's a reimagining that ensures that the EP leaves a lasting impression long after the final beat fades away.

Into The Heart Of Atikka

Copenhagen-based producers Susanne Cleworth and John Cleworth depart from the dancefloor in favor of trippy old-school trance on their debut EP ‘Into the Heart Of Atikka’ - the first journey onto and into planet Atikka. Each track name evokes images of traveling into the heart of the planet.

Susanne and John improvised jams while they were on tour in Japan and Australia in 2023, which later evolved into four tracks. While Atikka's style typically leans towards a more modern, faster-paced dance-floor-friendly vibe, for their debut EP, they aimed to offer music tailored more to the home listening experience.

Musically, the album combines trippy soundscapes with repetitive compositional structures, evoking associations with 90’s old-school trance. The first two tracks take you on a chill journey to planet Atikka, while track 3 pulls the listener onto the extra- terrestrial dance floor, culminating in a tranquil ambient experience on the final track.

The graphic is a photo taken from their trip to Japan, close to a shrine they found hidden within a cliff. The graphic is well-suited to the music - organic, blurred, and trippy. Each track name directly relates to the graphic in some way.

Introduce yourself? Hometown? Where do you currently reside? 1 fun fact about yourself?

Hi! My name is Raimundo. I had lived all my life in Santiago, except 1 year and a half in Edinburgh. Don't know if it's a fun fact, but I'm a co-founder of Fake Rolex.

What is your most played track?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mV7hjuxOdF4

Describe the vibe of your ideal party? Space? Smell? Drinks? Anything you can think of ;)

I would say a small crowd in a nice backyard and some sparkling red lights. I love the smell of flowers and grass recently watered. A nice sound system and anything the guests would like to drink and eat.

Dream b2b? 

I always dream to play next Move D. 

Ideal booth set up? 

I'm a fan of Allen&Heath mixers. The rest doesn't matter too much. A booth with interior plants would be beautiful too.

Guilty pleasure track?

Can´t handle hit

Advice to beginning djs?

I am a bedroom DJ with a few gigs, so that counts as a beginner. First, don't rush, then listen and download music as much as you can, then organize it following vibe and sound criteria rather than genre and last practice as much as you can with friends. 

Describe the best dj/live set you have seen this year? 

I was at first row listening to Matthew Herbert while he was playing his most beautiful tracks among other house hits. I was stunned. Big shout to Shanti Celeste at NoaNoa too. 

Most underrated artist at the moment?

Can´t choose one: JS, Unfinished Portraits, Diamin and a friend of mine Agustín Silva. 

What is your prediction on the next music genre re-vamp 2020?

80´ synth pop

Fav club drink? 

Campari/tonic....actually anything bitter. 

Favorite DJ trick?

When mixing I like to use at minimum the low frequencies for several minutes so the mix goes unnoticed and the slowly retake normal levels. Sometimes I use Hot Cues and a lot of crossfaders. I like to stay classy :) 

Describe the first moment where you had an epiphany about your love for music?

Crossing Scotland in winter by car when I was 7 and suddenly by an act of magic, I was singing the music in the background in a language that I just starting to learn: Bjork, Sundays, The Cure and more.

DJ dream of yours?

Will love to play in rare venues in cities that I don´t know yet (MEXICO!). I probably would like to get to know many of the DJs and producers that are featured in Fake Rolex. 

Any advice about what to do with free time during this moment of social distancing?

I would highly recommend stare to the ceiling and breathe deep while you think nice memories of yours, don't overwhelm with news and info, and if you haven't got the chance to listen to Motion Ward and West Mineral you may will, they are astonishing ambient labels that will bring you peace. Spend time with your pets.

What would you like to see in the future for the dance community?

More events at daylight, an equal share of space in all sense between male/female/other diversities, more and more collabs between people around the globe, fewer pills more mushrooms haha. 

Venmo or contact info to support a local club who is undergoing hardship

NoaNoa Club (https://www.instagram.com/noanoa.club/?hl=es-la), that at this moment not only is it suffering the economic consequences of the closure forced by the pandemic, but it is also going through a bad moment as a result of the club's proximity to the nerve center of the protests that have been taking place since October last year in our country.
