Audiences will impose meaning as they see fit, relative to their own contexts, and the convergence of our emotional literacy can draw us to one another. In 2018, Ripperton gifted the ESP Institute with 'Sight Seeing,' and we quickly became tourists joining the artist's departure from the comforts of his known creative narratives, however, with his tender monument of devotion, 'Contrails,' we now find ourselves blissfully lost in his code. These expansive 73 minutes are punctuated midway by a poignant solitary confession — “I’m afraid of what I might find, but I’m even more afraid of not facing this fear. I love you. I love you more than my life.” — in accordance with the fundamentals of Minimalism, the vast negative space bookending these words undoubtedly amplifies their significance.

“I’m afraid of what I might find…” Communication comes easy for some artists; the tools are obvious, logical and tangible, the dialogue is palatable and their art is often inoffensive. For others, there may be conflict, trauma or fear that result in pragmatic challenges — the tools feel foreign, deep complexities give way to creative paralysis, and communication struggles to find its form and emerge — the art becomes as much a therapeutic confessional as is a formal exercise.

“…But I’m even more afraid of not facing this fear…” Within the residue of the artist’s emotional labor, full of nuance, reservation and vulnerability, is potent code that can neither be taught nor learned, an elusive unknown whose shadows some spend a lifetime chasing, trying in vain to articulate or translate, often at their own peril.

“…I love you. I love you more than my life.” It’s this code that inexplicably tethers the soul to art — music being perhaps the most magnetic attractor of all — capable of true love upon first encounter. The blood flows like rapids, the hairs on the back of the neck stand erect, the heart surrenders absolutely to a romantic chemistry and a mutual bond is forged, a love to defend with vigor. We own the music and the music owns us. We are enamored, without words, simply head-over-heels.

Ripperton - Contrails - ESP Institute 084

Buy / Stream: ffm.to/budakid_infinity

Budakid is back on Exploited with an impassioned 2-tracker. A regular at the Gardens Of Babylon events, Budakid has honed a distinctive shade of heartstring House and Indie Dance which has touched labels such as Permanent Vacation and Berlin's Watergate. Here, he delivers 2 travel tickets for 2 disparate trips.

'Infinity' is a journey in the truest sense of the word. Through an effervescent bass sequence, clever filter control and kinetic drum work, Budakid generates consistent motion from start to finish. Euphoric melodies are layered as the track gathers lucency before a wide open breakdown renders a patch of interstellar drifting. Distant snares snap overhead as the bass sequence courses into focus, reeling the listener back into the pilot's seat toward a vibrant conclusion.

'The Curse' then illuminates some gooey, 90's memories. Nostalgic chords are given buoyancy by snappy, Bicep-esque breaks and a pair of synth lines that are braided together - tumbling over one another as they carry the tracks energy. A sense of contrast and tension imbues the groove throughout another voyage that's guaranteed to soundtrack many memorable dance floor moments.'

Just the Artist #5 - Underspreche

Flexonaut is Berlin based DJ, PR manager, and label owner of Unreel Records, Felix Göllner. Coming from an indie music background, he was mostly influenced by bands and their remixes which ultimately led him to discover electronic music. That affinity to catchy vocals and pop beats never left his DJ sets.

Mixed with the experience gathered in the Berlin club scene for ten years as well as playing events like BPM Festival in Mexico, his style has shaped up to win crowds in any size venue. During his time at Kompakt Records he was able to share the bill with label boss Michael Mayer, Rex The Dog or Patrice Bäumel at Clubs like Berlin’s infamous Panoramabar. For his label Unreel Records he was able to win artists like Housemeister or John Tejada to fulfill his vision of deep and fine house and techno cuts.
