Exclusive: Mayflo - Bmore Gurl

Paris label for exquisite music, Community Center, readies the next EP on the label, which comes from ever busy artist Mayflo. Latter is highly known due to his radio presence with residencies at RinseFM, Le Mellotron or Station Station. Behind the decks he's not only made a name under his Mayflo artist moniker but also as part of Les Déménageurs Bresson, or with his collective ItinéraireBis. His five tracker Solar Club Continuum on Community Center, a blissful affair, combines several (positive) musical influneces on one EP: there's a warm House-note, some Bristol Breaks and a touch of Baltimore Club-vibes that the artist smoothly and skilfully blends to come up with a diverse yet sophisticated EP that does not neglect the fun factor. The A2, Bmore Gurl, pays tribute to R&B music in the same way as it does to the beforementioned Bristol Breaks. The U Remind Me vocals (from Usher's 2001 hit) are sharply implemented and repeated throughout the track taking you either back to these days or let's you discover them in a new habit. Whatever applies to you, Bmore Gurl is one of those tracks that just puts a smile on your face and Mayflo managed to use the vocal and blend it with deep chords and a break-esque bass line in a way that it is a meaningful take for today's dancefloors. 

Mayflo's EP Solar Club Continuum will be released on Community Center on October 22nd, 2021.

Memory Allocator

n9oc – Memory Allocator

Careering through the red sandy desert it was hard to see through the fog. There was but a faint line in which the sky met the open plains before them as they bounced and shuffled atop the dusty outback in their little buggy.

From time to time they'd catch a brief glimpse through the smog to see the sunlight up above but sooner than it had come it would vanish in a flash plunging them once again into the smokey abyss of the great unknown.

The journey had always been a perilous one, even in the best of conditions and circumstances it was a challenge for the most ardent of adventurers.

This was what separated them from the rest, an explore 2.0 if you will. The keenest of the keen and the only team that might be able to transcend the reckless wasteland which was this red desert of chaos.

Frankfurt producer n9oc releases a new EP on Die Orakel, a futuristic release which draws influence from UK bass, deconstructed club sounds and Techno. It's as pensive as it is euphoric in moments.

PREMIERE: n9oc - Explorer 2.0 [Die Orakel]

READ > https://inverted-audio.com/premiere-n9oc-inverted-refractions

Opening up with celestial synths, 'Inverted Refractions' bleeps, judders and manipulates to create an abstract canvas of warbling bass and staccato hi-hats and rim shots. It's a playful dance from the mind of @n9oc. Released 10 February via @die-orakel.

emotional waves vol.01 - 12'' snippets

Now in its tenth year, Frankfurt-based record label Die Orakel has earned itself a strong catalogue of classy releases in a distinct sonic and visual attitude, its latest being a compilation called Braindance. 

A fair assumption about Braindance as a genre could be, that it's rather in the zone of kaleidoscopic and whimsical quirktronica, less about IDM's futurist tropes. From Die Orakel's point of view, its very own Braindance compilation marks the label's tenth anniversary by releasing an intense listener's atlas, to its own and their creative collaborators' musical slant of mind.

While much could be said about spectral traces of a leftfield past, nostalgia isn't heard anywhere. The more you listen to this selection, the deeper the tracks plug into your brain—stretching from ethereal harmonic licks rippling with fragile glitches, bleepy to bass-heavy electroid steppers of any BPM range, to abstract-scientific neo-modular artistry. 

Die Orakel's Braindance transmission can be had as a 15-track digi-release, as well as a 4-track vinyl EP. Pick either for your library of the future.

01 upsammy – Wumb (Ambient Version)
02 n9oc – Hyphae
03 Pépe – Cloudbusters
04 Gacha Bakradze – Inhumanity
05 Rali Pibs – Hooked & Strungout 
06 Teatre – Daze 
07 O-Wells – Deep Concentration
08 oma totem feat. juns – Sobre Caderas 
09 Dana Kuehr – Biota
10 Benjamin Milz – Cmos
11 Poly Chain – Turbulent
12 Katatonic Silentio – Grain Of Consumption
13 Koloah – The Highway
14 Reptant – Protectors Of The Moss
15 Edward – Blurry Trees And Peanuts

Pollux Rose - Oblique Line

A staple element of high-profile labels such as Hivern Discs and ESP Institute, Brussels-based producer Andrea Mancini alias @clevelandmusicpage has built something of an impressive reputation over the last few years, establishing a sound signature both convincingly unique and daringly game-changing, as well as setting up a distinctly fresh musical grammar that invites the listener to see under the surface of the standstill techno/house dichotomy through more complex but just as effortlessly enjoyable architectonics.

Complete with a choice duo of remixes courtesy of Beta Librae and Piezo, Cleveland's debut EP for @kalaharioystercult sits straight in line with the recreated organic lushness and widescreen vista of his previous instalments.

Interview with @n9oc

➔ 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁 / 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸?
I usually don’t start with a certain concept. Every track is just a caption of the actual moment. I am open to conceptual projects, and telling stories, but right now, a single track can‘t serve this purpose.

➔ 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗿𝗮𝘄 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺? 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸?
Hm, I have a lot of fun with messing around with elements from different genres, which could be interpreted as bringing different (sub)cultures together in some way, which even shows parallels to my biography, but that’s nothing I newly invented, or where I feel the urge overinterpret or bring to a very personal level. From my viewpoint, it just seems to mirror the common process of the development of all the diverse outcomes (in form, style, genre, etc.) in music throughout history, in general.  I really got into experimenting and playing around with sound synthesis. Love the benefits of living in an era, where there is a huge accessibility of information through the WWW. It’s so convenient to dig into a specific subject and learn new stuff. What’s also great is, that it’s so affordable, sustainable and cheap to try out new things with emulators/VSTs first, before getting hands on expensive or room taking hardware. The almost endless possibilities with new easily available technologies might appear overwhelming at first, but can be wonderfully freeing and motivating, and I hope others see this as an invitation too, to start getting creative in any form. Of course, many of these perks apply to many other art forms (or even sciences).  On a technical side, other smart artists, I admire. (Sometimes I try to recreate a specific sound I like and think would fit into my productions, but in the end I always end up with something completely different haha, yeah, but that’s quite a common thing, I guess?)

➔ 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗼𝗻 𝗮 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹?
Expression and communication. Through music I found a new way, besides words, to capture and express a current state of my mood. Overall, having a creative output helps me coping with feelings, which makes it easier to reflecting on my thoughts. I noticed my lacking ability of expression, which kind of increased while growing up. As a result, I somehow felt disconnected from everything. So for me starting to be a creator and opening up, sharing my work (after being already a listener, clubber and collector for a long time) means participating in an exchange with others on a new level and reconnecting with my surroundings, which helped me gain a lot of life quality back.  From the perspective as a listener, I appreciate the educational and cultural aspects it can bring with. It helped me draw a connection and developed an understanding between historical events, sociological dynamics and my biography; for example, when I tried to dig deeper into Vietnamese culture, my origins and roots with diaspora immigrant parents, music was one of the key tools that helped me to get into this topic. It is interesting and fascinating to see, how political and environmental circumstances can shape a sound, and in reverse what sound can portray.  I notice the potentially empowering capability music culture can have, for both, artists and listeners.  It also can be very sweet and fun, when you find yourself in a lovely, supporting community, regardless whether as an artist or a listener.

N9oc - 171119 | Roots, Space, Vision Vol. 1

The sun was bright and alive, it danced atop a backdrop of bright, royal blue and the heat radiated down from the heavens up above. Sat in the field he watched as the long grass blew softly in the breeze as sun worshippers lay perched upon hillsides and viewpoints. Insects buzzed amidst the tall flowers, bees swarmed and flitted between bushes in search of something sweet. He liked that, those bees. As he sipped from an ice cold glass he wondered if the world could ever get any prettier than this...

Sentiments is a producer based in Lyon, we met a few years back when he played at a party for us in Lyon and smashed it out the park with fast paced, euphoric hardcore, italian dream house and wild breaks. We are delighted to see he continues on in such style, this is a new track by him on his label Light On Earth.
