Six years after Die Faser, Cio D'Or (finally!) returns with another full-length. all in all, broken down into three separate, interlinking passages, has a truly interesting way with space and sonic design; cinematic flourishes sweep through glitchy interludes into minimal territory, and back again.

"XLIV for Mike" is one of the more straightforward cuts, but with synthetic effects that sound like Radiophonic Workshop oscillations and a zipper scratching on plastic, it's still a far cry from the conventional, while still carrying enough heft to keep bodies rooted to the 'floor.

We are excited to share @Wata Igarashi’s mind-bending “Question and Answer EP”, his second release on The Bunker New York. We’ve been playing all four tracks at our parties for a while, watching people lose their minds on the dance floor and look at their friends with that “what is this?!” expression on their faces. These reactions are not surprising considering that Igarashi is a lifelong musician and a professional sound designer by trade. Through decades of experience composing music he has developed a sophisticated and nuanced approach to production that allows him to evoke powerful moods and emotions. In recent years he has been applying his production skills to great effect, developing a distinctive brand of psychedelic techno that has been released on labels including Midgar, Semantica and Time to Express. Describing his creative development, Igarashi tells us: “the more I produce and play, the more I discover. I keep finding different aspects or nuances of making and performing techno music. This process of learning and constantly going deeper is very exciting for me, it is unlike anything else I have experienced before. I am appreciative of the opportunities I have been getting and I just want to pursue them as far as I can, it is deeply motivating doing something I love with people I respect.” 

A chance encounter at Berghain in February of 2015 connected Wata with Bryan Kasenic, founder of The Bunker New York, who already knew and loved his music. As a result of this meeting, The Bunker released a very well received podcast from Wata later that year, which was followed by Igarashi’s “Mood of the Machines EP” in 2016. The relationship has further deepened through working together on this follow up record and Wata making his North American debut as a DJ at The Bunker in September of 2017. According to Igarashi, the “Question and Answer EP” is “about communication and connections, so it makes sense for it to be on The Bunker NY, a label that features so many friends and artists that inspire me. My relationship with Bryan has been an important and rewarding one for me, and I am really happy to be working with him again on this record.” These rewards quickly become obvious on a dance floor with unfurling infinite arpeggiations working themselves out with the inexorable driving force that can be found in truly great techno. The EP opens with tense and driving “Outburst”, which is complemented by the slow-burning “Train of Thought”. The B side features the title track, a beautifully unfolding number geared for generating powerful moments of release on the dancefloor. The EP finishes in style with the downtempo vibes of ‘Broken Telephone’. Versatile enough to be dropped during peaks or at other times, this new EP from Igarashi boasts 4 equally kaleidoscopic cuts that will surely stand out in a set.

I-F @ ONDERWERELD 36 HOUR MARATHON

For the 10th edition of Antigel Festival I was tasked with opening the Grand Central before Function and Norman Nodge.

As the room filled up pretty gradually, i took the opportunity to go sideways, backwards and forward, from slow to faster and taking some unexpected turns here and there, playing many of my current favorites.

Monitoring was tough, but the vibe ended up HOT.

Monday Off mainstay Cory James returns for a meditative and shadowy EP that tenderly unfurls with the haunting and melodic "Avila," followed by the subtle psychedelic skittering of "Bubble Nebula." The core motifs of "Bubble Nebula" are then re-worked throughout the wave-like ebb and flow of "Bubble Nebula Eyes Down," and Italy's Ruhig remixes the release's title track into a pounding workout of shifting grooves and tensile atmospherics.
