Techno veterans, Alexander Johansson & Mattias Fridell, have been releasing music together for over 20 years on many of the genre's most established and notable labels, and here we are in the year 2023 seeing their first definitive techno album on Recorded Things.

Label owners Oliver Rosemann and Sebastian Rothermel approached Alexander & Mattias with the proposition to make an album for their label, and after heartfelt conversations about it, everyone concluded that their ideas aligned, both conceptual and musical and that it was time to set a plan for it in motion. True to their nature, Alexander and Mattias provide their signature sound in album form; efficient rhythmical work-outs & stern, yet playful synth sequences that sometimes bear the mark of classic techno, and other times take unexpected directions. All in a package that presents an uncommonly energetic album, with no fillers or pauses. There is just one direction, from start to finish.

The third episode of our podcast series presents 7astris, co-founder of the project.

Fascinated by different shades of art, 7astris approaches this mix with a cinematic vision on techno rhythms. The hypnotic and intricate pads evoke different degrees of emotions while the pressing rhythms of the industrial drum complete the sound picture. From the first words of the intro, the set tries to imagine a collective ritual in which everyone can lose themselves.

"Every year it feels as if you've just been born"

C'est mon premier podcast ambient, j'ai vraiment pris un grand plaisir à le composer. Je l'ai construit comme une rêverie lente et contemplative, un voyage intérieur tranquille et lumineux, souvent empreint d'une douce mélancolie - par instants intrigant voire légèrement inquiétant, pour trancher avec le reste. À écouter au casque les yeux fermés..

This is my first ambient podcast, and I really enjoyed composing it. I built it like a slow, contemplative daydream, a peaceful and luminous inner journey, often imbued with a gentle melancholy - at times intriguing or even slightly unsettling, to contrast with the rest. Best listened to with headphones and closed eyes.

Kluzo - Desintegration (MarAxe Remix)

Release date: 13th of July 2018 (vinyl & digital format)

A1. Circular
A2. Gliss
B1. Flare
B2. Hum

After the celebrated Metabolism LP from last year, Sigha is back with a 4-track cut for TOKEN84. This untitled record remains understated, playing with variations on a theme whereby the similarities exist seemingly to illuminate the differences between the tracks. The relationship between Circular and Hum is reminiscent of Sigha's 2016 New Puritan flip on the earlier offering of Puritan from 2012; with Circular presenting a tight, meditative loop in high-mid frequencies while Hum inhabits a similar space, only seemingly from a distance. If those two are close, measured and controlled, the other tracks on the record demonstrate more freedom and abandon. Gliss is huge and heavy, while Flare's sonic elements interact playfully and scatter as the piece progresses.
