Mungk - Congo [Elemental Arts Premiere]

"Bristol based duo Mystic State have a beautiful new release forthcoming in the form of "The Last Lotus" The vinyl and digital release is a beautifully crafted masterpiece that showcases the duo's impeccable studio skills, with music that not only hits hard sonically, but is also beautiful to listen to. 

Taking a more stripped back approach, "The Last Lotus" sees Mystic State at the top of their game. From the haunting and rich vibe of the title track, to the bassline driven party shaker of the lead single "Strike", the dub infused vibes of "Blessings" and the fully stripped back genius of "Maud's Theme"... not to mention their stellar collaboration with Jack Flynn-Oakley on "Dream Theory". This is a tour-de-force from start to finish."

@relativitylounge

The Chicago-native Relativity Lounge has long been an underground favorite across the US bass music circuit, especially considering his relatively humble profile as a producer and songwriter. With a clear balance between novel and tasteful, his productions have always maintained a steady vein of pleasant unpredictability in their various forms. For our 86th release, The Rust is especially grateful to platform the Caustic EP, the latest collection of tracks from a well overdue partner-in-crime.

The record is, above all else, particularly industrial; channeling clear influence from a dance-floor driven palate, the opening tracks introduce a minimalist sandbox of synthesis and sound design married to low-slung rhythms. Sparse melodic elements come up for air at key moments across most of the compositions, but otherwise take a backseat to the very physical bent present across every track. Ramping up the tempo for the EP’s farewell, the journey from open to close feels especially primed for the height of any night's function.

After a break of 6 years, Atlanta based electronic musician, producer and sound designer Richard Devine returns with a new album ‘Sort\Lave’ on Venetian Snares‘ Timesig imprint. Recorded between 2016 and 2017 using Richard’s custom built Eurorack modular system and two Nord G2 Modular units, Sort\Lave features 12 tracks of intricate electronica that ranges from abrasive percussive experiments such as ‘Revsic‘ to ‘Astra’s dazzling juxtaposition of sounds and onto the radiant ambience of the album’s closer ‘Takara‘.

Talking about the album’s genesis Devine explains “I’ve been using modular synthesizers since I was 17, but have never written complete tracks using these newer systems. This was my first experiment to see if it would be possible and I probably spent about 5 years building up the systems that I used on this album.”

“I wanted the record to sound very different to my previous works which had been more cold, digital, clinical even, and had all been made using computers. The aim here was the complete opposite, to create something that felt very organic, detailed, spacious, big and warm and just as importantly, a record that you could put on and play all the way through that flowed in a seamless way.”

This new approach was to prove fruitful and enabled Devine to create music in an entirely new way. “I really wanted to break free from timeline-based music creation and do things with my hands on the fly,” he explains. “So the tracks are more like captured snapshot performances where I could experiment and play around with the idea of probability-based sequencing for every patch, string multiple sequencers together that would feed other sequencers to come up with interesting rhythms and melodies. It was really fun coming up with new sounds this way too, I felt like I created several I haven't heard before with this album. Some of the tracks on the album were complete accidents and evolved from something that happened spontaneously. In the end I feel this is one of the best records I have released to date, so I’m very excited to share it with the world.”

Making his debut in 1995, Devine’s releases for labels including Schematic, Warp Records and Detroit Underground have established him as one of the leading figures within the electronica community. In addition to his musical productions, Devine has enjoyed a lengthy and successful career in sound design, developing patches for many of the world’s leading music technology businesses and working with companies such as Google and Nike.

TMC006 - VERSA

For the 6th instalment on TMC, we are blessing you with the unmistakable sounds of Versa. Crafting his skills with precise intention, this cosmic revelation consists of two outstanding tracks, perfectly encapsulating the sound of Versa aka Michael Nickless. 

A. Flutter 

Blissfuly in sync with the way Versa conveys his music, every element of the track fitting with one another, riding throughout in complete harmony. 
Mike's melodica skills shinning through as one of these elements, a sound that will never fail to put a smile on your face amongst the gloomy English winter. Both tracks designed to present a new light, one of spring and all its magic. 

B. Bloom

'Bloom' the other side of the vinyl, is a journey through seeming-less space, a piece of music that takes you towards the otherwise outer reaches and lets you explore its intricacies. The atmosphere and melody brining forward a feeling of light and openness touching on a slight nostalgic feeling of summer and all its bloom and new beginnings. 

You can pre order the limited edition vinyl now from the buy link.

High quality artwork sleeve/print and stickers included with every record.
