A Ekolali — Totem Mollusca (14:45)
B Tala Drum Corps — tokyo subway (16:06)

Plafond continues, taking center stage after the mother label BAKK ceded. Here, two long-time collaborators, Ekolali, originating from Sweden, and Tala Drum Corps, from the Netherlands, await their returns. The former reappears with a characteristic approach earlier heard on 'Doggerland'. The latter did multiple dance releases yet now debuts for this series, expanding on his stylistic spectrum. 

Despite shared tempo, the energies of the track are each of their own. Pulsating with energetic urgency, Ekolali, towards hypnotic movement, Tala Drum Corps. 'Totem Mollusca' shoots for the sun, like a budding landscape, yellow rays, waterdrops – kraut-inspired yet club-like without seeking a climax. 'tokyo subway' has a marimba-ridden, timeless feel – a clock-ticking, crude atmosphere, as a dream long passed, slowly ascending. 

Known for its two-sided, two-songs format, Plafond offers two artists or artist combinations the freeform room for exploration and elongation of their respective sound and practices. This is the eighth in the series.

Eszaid imagines the sonic paranoia of discovery with Brumes, a nine part movement that coalesces industrialised murmurs from the currents of cavernous creep.

Carrier - In Spectra
Cat # CRRR002
Label : Carrier

Vinyl / Digital / Streaming 24/05/24

Carrier’s experiments in rhythmic pressure continue with In Spectra, the second offering on his eponymous imprint following releases for FELT and The Trilogy Tapes. A triad of kinetic reductions from an unrivalled practitioner in angular minimalism.

In Spectra finds Guy Brewer magnifying the approach taken on Neither Curve Nor Edge, unthreading the micro-structures within to strip bare his process of reverse-engineered dance forms. His hyper-focus continues on sound and texture, but meshed tighter in tense atmospherics with fascinating results.

Coastal circles the lurch with steady poise, rallying with its faint hardcore momentum and muted dub reverberations. Wood Over Plastic scatters its disassembled rhythmic remains across warped zones of surreality, before closer Locus furrows inside a repurposed stepper amidst sharpened percussion and a creeping sub. Further proof of Carrier’s unique vision, In Spectra is a vital development along his open-ended sonic journey.

PM001's closer ‘Bad Blood’ wraps the record on a tender note. A sluggish heartbeat pumps beneath the fog of dub delays and distortion, propelling forward a lethargic rhythm. Out of nowhere a blissed out synth line pierces the tension. A sharp, emotive melody disrupting the paramnesia with something new. If the record’s title track suggests a downward spiral through some psychic storm, then ‘Bad Blood’ shows the outline of dry land coming slowly into focus.

GUESTS 191 – AHMED ALAA

https://soundcloud.com/priori-ties gifts us with a surprise remix, available exclusively on Bandcamp. The Canadian artist is known for a multifaceted approach to production and sound design, seamlessly moving between techno, house, drum and bass, and a fusion of styles. This time, delivering a beautifully executed minimal take on the title track, perfect for those hazy mornings.

Keplrr - Plumes (Priori Remix)

as a central point of reference of grischa lichtenberger‘s »la demeure/il y a péril en la demeure« complex, raster-noton releases a limited edition of three 12“ vinyl EPs that are accompanied by a handmade, signed and individualized screen print.

the three EPs were set up as an experiment. each of the records is guided by a word that could be described as a phantasmagoria, a delusion of the 20th century – like a metaphor that is concerned not only with its immediate meaning, but with an implication more emotional, more irrational, telling something about the mindset of the not so distant past.

these keywords already existed before the production on the tracks began and thus played the role of an indirect orientation or playground for association. nevertheless, the EPs are not conceptualized, but rather a collection of habits and strategies in relation to the titles.

common to all EPs of the triptych is the question of a connection between intimacy and the public sphere. aesthetically, the music presented on the EPs ranges from distressing and unaligned dancefloor-oriented tracks to tribal and politically charged drones to unsettling noise ballads. on »spielraum«, for example, hypnotizing music box melodies are combined with claustrophobic breakbeats. »allgegenwart«, on the other hand, presents mechanical rhythms and sawing pads, topped with high-pitched warning sounds. last but not least, the final EP »strahlung« features self-forgetful, gloomy and melancholy tracks backed by melodies that remind of a barrel organ turned upside down.

please note: this special edition is limited to 500 copies and was printed, stamped and signed by the artist himself. print and paint application variations are intended.
