OECUS Premiere | Biri - Upward Spiral [FIGUREX36]

French producer, December, returns to Tresor with An Accident In Favor Of Human Life, the second part of his Transform project, which continues the exploration of themes such as hybridisation and the boundaries of the self that were undertaken in June 2023's What Remains of Us? 

Transform Part 2 finds December increasing the intensity of his output as the Industrial and electro influences in his musical crucible come to the fore adding a punching tungsten toughness to the beats, welded and riveted to myriad other sources including post punk, ambient, and musique concr&egrave;te adding a more melodic and emotional edge than the darker hues of Part 1. 

The product of this is a collection of juddering and staccato pieces that call to mind steampunk as much as the glittering sci-fi most often invoked by electronic works. 

As per the first instalment, the cover art of In Favor Of Human Life continues the ongoing creative partnership between December and visual artist Marie Qu&eacute;au whose photograph appears to show a human face that straddles the boundary between the familiar and unsettling. 

When Parts 1 &amp; 2 are listened to consecutively, as a complete work, elements in one half reverberate into the other revealing a refined pattern and a landmark work by an artist coming to a new peak of creative power.

December - An Accident In Favor Of Human Life

The electric pulse of classic techno raves surges through our veins, and with Halloween just around the corner, we've got a track perfectly suited for the season.

Inspired by the chilling ambiance of the 1989 horror classic, "Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan," we find Jason Voorhees, a character nearly impossible to refuse. In 2023, Jason makes his way to Berghain, not for mayhem, but to make a unique request for his favorite tracks. Rumor has it that even in the famously strict Berghain, they don't usually take requests, but who could possibly say no to Jason? The ensuing hilarity is a spectacle in itself.

Adding to the excitement, we're thrilled to introduce Mani Festo, who arrives with a mesmerizing techno-breaks remix guaranteed to unleash sonic mayhem on any sound system it graces.

Note: NOT a holiday track, we just love horror movies.

In a time beyond time when the boundaries between dimensions were screamed louder than a
cosmic loom, the entities Property and si’nedd emerged into existence. They were forces of
nature, not bound by physical laws but intertwined with universal essence. Property, the
embodiment of structure and form, was the stabilizing force in a world of chaos, while si’nedd, a
radiant entity of light and potential, sparked a dynamic touch. The people of the land, who lived
in the vast plains of Feld and the sun-drenched deserts of Liwa, watched in awe, coining this
phenomenon the shining regeneration of renewal and unity, all in accordance with the 8th
hexagonic chapter of this endless belief.

Today, the power unleashed in their encounters reverberates through the fabric of reality,
causing ripples that can heal. The wise ones of the ancient world, adepts of the I'Ching, are fully
aware of this feat. Consulting in the sacred texts of I’Ching, we begin to understand the
necessity to Unite, to bring forces together in harmony rather than to conflict. Not everyone has
to understand the intensity of Property and si’nedd's connection. In the quiet village of Adevo,
nestled between the mountains of Belan and the forests of Skai, the people experience both
Dolor and Noxa—pain and harm—when forces are unbalanced.

There – the nearby fields, the Ventu winds blow gently, Onie flowers are blooming, symbols of
hope and healing, whispering that with unity comes the potential for the construction of the great
temple of Belan.

As the cycle of encounters continues, the villagers begin to understand the deeper rhythm of the
book. They realized that the union of Property and si’nedd isnot merely an event but a
process—a weaving of existence that neither begins nor ends with the measurement of time.
The wise leader we call Somni, slides in to remind us of the following teaching we hold so dear
to our hearts: "We sleep, but the loom of life never stops, and the pattern which was weaving
when the sun went down is weaving when it comes up tomorrow." With this, the people of
Adevo, Liwa, and beyond now embrace the blend of creation and destruction.

We open our eyes –

In the heart of Adevo, within the temple of Belan, there stands a mysterious mirror, said to
reflect not just the physical form but the very soul of those who gaze into it. Yes, you – yes, me.
This mirror is believed to hold the secrets of unity, for when two stood before it, their reflections
would merge, revealing a single, harmonious entity. We are reminded that "holding together
means uniting," a principle that is echoed in the teachings of the 8th hexagram. It has been said
that only through true unity can the forces of Property and Si’nedd be balanced on a string of
harmonic madness –
In moments when life moves quickly and the pace of existence is overwhelmed by threats, the
mirror offers a stillness, urging those who look into it to slow down.

"The way does not speak," the elders whisper, "but in its silence, it guides." It is in this quietude,
this space of reflection, that the villagers are discovering their inner guidance, learning to
navigate the complexities of life by holding together, united in purpose and spirit, even as the
world around them swirls with the chaos of change – or rather, the Book of Change.

Dutch live-act and DJ duo Artefakt return to Delsin Records with an intricately produced three track release entitled ‘Falling Into The Light’ this May.

Real names Robin Koek and Nick Lapien, the duo began releasing music together as Artefakt in 2012 and now boast a discography spanning Field Records, Konstrukt and Deep Sound Channel, not to mention regular appearances on Delsin where their debut album entitled ‘Kinship’ dropped last year. Returning to Delsin, the pair’s next outing once again demonstrates their ever-evolving sound and is an exciting precursor for the launch of their own label later this year.

Rolling drums open the release in ‘Blue Hour’ as murky synths join hazy atmospherics, making way for ‘Weltformel’ with its racing syncopated percussion and ethereal pads that ebb and flow throughout the mix. Finally, ‘Falling into The Light’ combines springy kicks with crystalline melodies, metallic elements and rattling effects to conclude a mesmerising release.
