Garance - Bees in the Living Room (D-Formation & Masella Remix), Beatfreak Recordings

Returning after a two-year hiatus, Phenomena presents a new EP from label boss Elias Erium. Created by Canadian producer Elias Barouche (previously known as Solid Stone), Eilas Erium is an artist moniker for contemporary techno music. In the genre’s ever shifting landscape, the Montreal resident has continued to earn praise from the underground’s premiere tastemakers. Adriatique and Tale of Us have been steadfast supporters dating back to 2017, and moving forward with a renewed focus Elias’ upcoming agenda looks set for a similar fate. With an EP for Eleatics subsidiary Aletheia Recordings setting the course for the new moniker, Elias now returns to his Phenomena imprint with a two-track showcase entitled ‘Harvester’. 
Beginning with title selection Elias explores the subterranean regions of hypnotic techno. Energetic and rhythmic in all the right ways, exotic percussive arrangements and shapeshifting textures descend over a pulsating foundation. Gradually opening up across the first act, it’s a subtle rise in tension which initiates the main break. Modulation peaks against a backdrop of shadowy design as the centrepiece evolves, eventually giving way to the meditative groove for a mystical finale. 
The companion piece ‘Spearhead’ follows suit with another sleek techno-minded narrative. Backed by a smooth, hip swinging groove, it’s bounce and drive quickly become infectious. Buoyant chord stabs and devilish vocal fragments emerge as the journey evolves, eventually giving way to a one-minute interlude. Harmonic refrains keep rhythms locked across the break, smoothly segueing into a driving finale as flurries of drums and vocals proliferate in a dynamic crescendo. 
Destined to be favoured by a broad range of DJs over the coming months, the 'Harvester’ EP makes for a promising start to Elias Erium's impending audio travelogue.

Following their highly acclaimed ’Sweet Ease’  / ‘Hybrid Society’, which reached No.1 on Beatport Indie Dance towards the end of 2021 and featured in countless DJ sets, Matthias Meyer and Budakid return to Watergate Records with another powerful collaboration, ’Saye’ / ’System’ released on October 14th.

Opening track 'Saye’ captures the inventive and sparkling production both Berlin-based artists have become renowned for. Hypnotic organ chords are deployed alongside euphoric vocal chops and jagged, driving beats to create a truly memorable track which is already generating a huge reaction on dance-floors when it has been road tested in recent Matthias Meyer and Budakid DJ sets. 

The stirring and atmospheric ’System’ balances ’Saye’ perfectly. Budakid’s haunting vocal is presented alongside glitchy, yet etherial synthesizer sequences with the central theme the idea that we are living in a broken system.

Matthias Meyer & Budakid - System

an electro / techno track blending futuristic sci-fi textures, ethereal atmospheres, and hypnotic rhythmic energy.
