RA New Tracks: May 2018

PREMIERE > inverted-audio.com/premiere-lemme-kno-1234567

Lemme Kno '1234567' is a fertile ravey vibe doped on slashing drums and fierce snares, jump-roping bleeps and bloops taking care of the track's melodic sublimation. Tasty as it gets.

About Myself

‘Fine, Thanks’ is a collection of B-sides recorded during 2009 - 2010.
You can now stream ‘Fine, Thanks’ for the first time on Spotify + Apple Music. 
More 5 Years of Bad Vibes stuff to follow... :)

Been Thinking

Cleveland is forever in search of the brown note. This is his second offering for the ESP Institute. Side A’s 'Tusk' is a beautiful paradox—rhythm programs that churn like the inner workings of a grandfather clock, unmistakably mechanical, yet fashioned through muted analogue instrumentation that paints a deceptively organic picture. The crystallized jangle of FM synth voices toy with the softened drum patterns and vibrant animal-like chord gestures over nearly seven minutes of splendor. On side B, 'Aku' digs further into mysticism, manifesting digital jungle themes, cleverly abstracted through erratic bleeps, distant tribal drums, atonal flutters and synthetic bird calls. The cinematic quality of Clevelands production shines through both tracks, but its 'Aku' that sweeps us from reality to embark on a moonlit expedition in search long lost treasures, proving Cleveland a virtuoso skilled in building complex narratives with sound. These two songs will modulate your frequencies.

Desert Sound Colony - Lose My Rhythm (STW Premiere)

Paris based Nocta Numerica promotes Electro, Disco, Italo and Acid Music according to it's Bandcamp page.
However, with the release of Hamburg's quadratschulz's Mini LP, "Not a Number", they might need to add Tech-Goth to that list. 
Opening track "Opportunity Cost" kicks in at about 140bpm and would not sound out of place on a dusty tape cassette of Detente era lost Coldwave classics or in little known but hugely influential Kit Kat Club in London in the 80s that played host to Soft Cell and Visage as well as being a den of amphetamine and cider.
As nostalgic as it might make the 80s Goth brigade feel, this is totally forward thinking, with an urgent booming bass, retro claps and just a hint of acid. Like Black Strobe or even Trisomie 21.  Call it Goth, call it techno, call it what you want. It's not a number.

PREMIERE | quadratschulz - Opportunity Cost [Nocta Numerica] 2018

Earlier this year, @c_a_r aka Chloé Raunet’s second album 'PINNED' was released to huge acclaim from the likes of DJ Mag, Resident Advisor and Trax Magazine.

The first of two multifaceted remix EPs out later this month, 'PINNED Up' realises the powerful dancefloor potential of Raunet's material and features contributions from the likes of Marcus Worgull, Bawrut and Lokier. @michael-mayer-kompakt heads up the release with a remix that unleashes the latent kinetic energy and emotive power of original album closer 'This City'. It went down an absolute storm when he dropped it at fabric the other month, and now you can listen to it above.

Next up on the ever-eclectic XVI Records, a shadowy figure steps into the spotlight: enter the mysterious Captain Over, whose dark yet soulful bruk-infused tracks soundtrack the next stage of their voyage towards the sun.  For his debut outing, Captain Over calls on the abstract vocal stylings of the legendary Trim (Roll Deep, 1800 Dinosaur) on opening track ‘SICK’. 

Showcasing why he’s one of the most iconic and forward-thinking MC’s to grace the mic, Trim’s dulcet tones twist through a jungle of shuffled beats and subterranean sub-bass, an eerie child-like melody drifting overhead.

Captain Over - Sick (Feat. Trim)

Varg "Nordic Flora Series Pt. 5: Crush" 2 x LP 
Posh Isolation 209 
Out June 22, 2018
When the fight-or-flight response edges in—adrenaline coursing and perception wired—our behaviour is especially spiked by an emotional intensity. And with that peak comes a trough. It's a chemical freefall, just like a crush.

Presented by Posh Isolation, 'Crush' marks the beginning of the end for Varg's turbulent Nordic Flora Series. Getting us lost in an exhilarating maze of fainting beauty and breaks, the fifth piece of the series invites us to relish the harmony just as much as the dissonance.

Following on from the previous iterations of the series, particularly the widely acclaimed 'Nordic Flora Series Pt.3: Gore​-​Tex City,' the cast of collaborators remain familiar. Some faces are more prominent on this occasion, while others were folded into the series for the first time at last year's Berlin Atonal festival where Varg's Nordic Flora program was unveiled.

The album's most tender moments arrive when the acoustic instrumentation and ambient ascents cross and tangle with the spoken word performances from AnnaMelina and Chloe Wise. They speak in lullabies of decadence. And the sincerity catches you out, tapering the rush, awakening the crush. When working with both AnnaMelina and Vanity Productions, the gentle details get scaled up for bigger arenas, the track signalling a kinship with last year's Yung Lean collaboration.

Tracing another kind of intimacy is a collection of deft and agile club-cursed tracks that set a new level of scattered cohesion for Varg. Spirited and biting, they bump and quake with a whiplashed gait, effortless af. Not surprisingly, Varg configures this side of 'Crush' alone, perhaps letting this stormy intensity out just the once in a mournful piece with Ecco2k.

True to the Nordic Flora Series, the artwork comes from American multidisciplinary artist Cali Thornhill DeWitt. The artwork is presented in collaboration with international copyright agreements.

Our burning passions light diverse paths, and as the fragility of the heart is learned and lamented, then surely a cause to celebrate this fate comes?
