Our next premiere comes to us from French Label Monochrome, back again with a second installment of their VA series. In the second episode of Primärwald on Monochrome, a VA that continues its spiritual and tribal history. But now also exploring more Tribe and D&B paths. @vardaemusic  & @toe_music collaborate to deliver an energetic drum and bass number with haunting tribalesque vox and deep drums. Complimented by surging low ends and spectacular groove work, check out this absolute monster of a track.

Neon Cleptu 28

Irregular polygons. For this episode I’d like to welcome Marco Maldarella
@marcomaldarella

MARMO half and close friend. Marco's live appearance on the Cleptu series will describes a different irregular polygon that is the basis of his sound. Drowling to deeper corners. Leaving space behind. Brought us to the core of so-called eerie and ethereal atmospherics. Marco Maldarella purely dwells the listeners to a ritual’s culmination. This story will not end here...

I’m very pleased that he participated and will be the one to guide us through his musical fascinations.

Siamese Twins embarks on its 10th release milestone with the acclaimed Thai performance artist Tul Waitoonkiat. In หนึ่งคำถาม (One Question), Waitoonkiat's poetry is conjoined into a versatile sonic meeting of minds, created in collaboration with producers Black Merlin, Sapphire Slows, and Sleep D. Aligning seamlessly with Siamese Twins' trademark ethos of cultural reflection and interdisciplinary exploration.

Waitoonkiat, known for his socio-political work "2553," which reflects on the 2010 military crackdown in Thailand, has presented his novel "Silence is Violence" through multidisciplinary art exhibitions across Bangkok. One of these collaborations with Siamese Twins’ Khun Fluff in 2022 established a profound connection and laid this release's foundational recording layer. The recorded poem explores existential themes, pondering the endless cycle of questioning and the dichotomy between silence and imagination, darkness and light, with its contemplative imagination setting the stage.

The A-side unveils George Thompson's universe, known in the terrestrial realm as Black Merlin, with two noirish cinematic explorations that compose Waitoonkiat’s trademark expressive and enigmatic voice into the release's fabric. Showcasing Thompson’s ability to create hypnotic, depth-charged soundscapes that captivatingly feed into a broader story rather than claiming center stage.

The B-side begins with a delicate approach to sound design, crafted through the Buchla synthesizer by Japanese modular artist Sapphire Slows. The charm of this version lies within the sustained notes that gently inhale and exhale between enigmatic vocoder effects and layers of beauty, nature, and technology.

B2 closes with a seven-and-a-half-minute peak timer revolving around a pulsating bassline and driving force of drum energy. One craving for packed warehouses and bush raves by the Australian wizards of OZ and Butter Sessions label owners, Sleep D, aka Corey Kikos and Maryos Syawish.

Further Inward with Trois-Quarts Taxi System

Bending the limits between club music, sound design and concrete abstractions, Trois-Quarts Taxi system serves a four chapter mix, taking us deeper and further in between the reality planes. Dance music and story telling merged as one. Organic oddities filling the space of the inner self. 

I take great pleasure in hosting him in this series, as his very unique sound palette and blend of grooves has fascinated and inspired deeply me over the last year.

[HARMONY014] is a four-track VA compilation that blends warm rhythm into dreamy groove.

Club-oriented A-side opens with “It’s me bb” tailored by Alfred Czital, setting an intimate, yet vibrant tone of the compilation, followed by Jamida's melodic “Lots Of Love” infused in harmonic vocals.

Side B navigates through deeper-end density fields, suitable on or off the dance floor. Poygonia's “Akkala” encompasses tribal traditions and pulsing beats, while Andy Garvey's Euphorique is finding balance between divine pads and collapsing percussion, wrapping up the compilation.

PURE Guest.056 Omen Wapta

Sounds and scenes progress, mature, evolve, all synonyms for the same energy. The energy that surrounds the creation and impetus of a burgeoning idea or a bleeding edge of art.  

Change. 

The constant clashing of influences from everywhere and nowhere. Especially now more than ever, as everyone is battered with a barrage of ideas and trends that appear as quickly as they disappear. It’s hard to pick apart the impactful bits but to Vardae we look as a harbinger of quality changes. Today’s pick lands on his seemingly effortless foray into half-time as we land on Captivate from the forth-coming, “Dance with the spirits” EP. It’s a raucous affair, and contains all the bits you’d want from a track that will split tempo, and get dancers to sway like seaweed. From syncopated, off-kilter percussion, to long developing breakdowns, the detailed textures and minute changes get even the most jaded listener going. This EP, coupled with his Mostra set, wow. One to watch out for.

"Captivate", and the rest of the ‘Dance with the Spirits’ EP will be released on Konstrukt, April 19th.

PREMIERE: Vardae - Captivate [Konstrukt]

Next up in our mix-series is Kaspiann, from the depths of the Helsinki underground. Running the VALA label, performing live, building his own soundsystem and organising parties, he has forged a psychedelic techno sound driven by a DIY attitude and unbound by limitations of tempo, creating a unique holistic musical practice. It’s a multi-sensory ideal which can accommodate his low-speed experiments as much as his fast-paced meditations, whether it’s a steady 4/4 pulse guiding the music or the refracted intrigue of more complex rhythmical structures.

In this episode, Kaspiann takes us on a flawless trip, striking a balance between tough, impactful club sounds and more introspective tones and textures. The mix embodies the spirit of his dual perspective on the thriving clubs of Helsinki and the warehouse and outdoor parties of the underground scene.
