Listen to all tracks from ‘Oderbruch’ in full at @Hypem https://hypem.com/premiere/shed

The fifth studio album by @Shedofficial aka René Pawlowitz centers thematically on the Oderbruch region in former East Germany where the producer and DJ grew up and continues to split his time (when not in Berlin.) Both the album and track titles as well as the artwork by Arnim Tölke [Ectoplasma (Oderbruch)] reflect Pawlowitz’s deeply personal associations with the borderland’s marshy landscape, as well as enormous political and historical changes the region underwent as the last Eastern front during World War II – and, later, following the dissolution of the GDR.

The nine tracks on ‘Oderbruch’ are inspired by the intertwined nature of the subjective and historical, which ring through Shed’s idiosyncratic take on breaks, bass, techno, symphonic ventures, ambient and hardcore. But unlike Shed’s previous records, ‘Oderbruch’ incorporates broad pastoral landscapes – left behind and returned to.

The American cable-television industry exploded in the 1980s, pushing broadcasts of diverse programming and emissions of low-laying cultures into homes. Community stations piggybacked on the digital developments of the time, extending their existence through telephony and broadcast affiliates. For those growing up in this time, in locations such as New York City, the localized communications beamed into their homes exposed them to an impressionable array of disparate sounds and visions. Move into the 1990s and New York was filled to the brim of emergent cultures drawing from this ebullition of communication. From Rammellzee’s shapeshifting to Frank and Karen Mendez’s Nu Groove imprint fusing reggae, poetry and house, nascent ideas emanated from the city walls, from within stores such as Sonic Groove store and on VHS releases such as Stakker’s The Evil Acid Baron Show, a legendary technicolor psychedelic trip along the wildest frontiers of acid house. As scenes expanded and identities developed, such individuals weather the events of the visceral now, expressing themselves right into an unpredictable future.

Function’s long career has seen him uncover a vast range of sonic identities, a mainstay through house, techno and industrial with collaborations with the likes of Regis, Damon Wild alongside his highly influential Infrastructure imprint. With influences deeply tied to pop art, rave and gay scenes, and early memories of block-parties emitting Kraftwerk and Strafe, he found himself seeking out the undercover illegal nights of the 90s on a quest of sexual unearthing, mixing the ever-yearning escapology mission of disco with the influential DJ sets of Jeff Mills. For his new album Existenz, he marks a clear step away from the corporeal techno of his recent releases. Pivoting around themes of religion, sexuality, trauma and healing, it is a work expansive and celebratory, a clear liberation from a deeply internalized past. Formed from a collection of recordings made in a period from late 2016 to mid 2019, Existenz takes the form of a creative outburst in reaction to a number of traumas - recent, childhood and throughout Function’s life.

Cosmic synths soar and swoop in ‘Pleasure Discipline’ through towering stacks of rhythm that stutter and creak to a halt before rebooting, a firm robotic response to human intervention. ‘Zahlensender’ reflects a spatial tetris of urban life, as digitalization set within an XYZ matrix confronts the sprawling city. Constant arpeggiated meditations echo synaptic transmissions, effecting a dissolution of boundaries. ’The Approach’ recalls the unification of the self, a state of delirium non-subjective and smooth, as all connections and functions give way to simple intensities of feeling, crossing the threshold into spirituality. ’Golden Dawn’, featuring Stefanie Parnow, marks a further elevation of dubbed-out euphoria, as once more positive rays emerge. Parnow assisted the production process in its entirety, providing inspiration and featuring vocal contributions. His ode to the effortless short-trip urban navigation 'Kurzstrecke' finds Function in motion, upfront and bold, snapshots of conversation and flickers of light. 'Ertrinken' finds metallic bass jabs swamping snipped synthetic voices, with hidden stores of emotion set as a nod to the history of vocoders as a tool for encrypted military communication. House icon Robert Owens features on 'Growth Cycle' and 'Be', entrenching a celebratory atmosphere over Function's clubwise leanings. Closing track 'Downtown 161' reflects the unmistakeable filtered and squashed interjections of television, and sampled dance vocals - a sound for the curious, dreamers and dancers.

With Existenz, Function reveals an essential body of work, spread over 4LP/2CD - thought experiments on the role of identity and spirituality after a lifetime of upheaval and trauma.

Premiere: Function - Sagittarius A (Right Ascension)

Diogo (Guimarães, 1988) started DJing in 2011 but the number of gigs seriously multiplies only after his move to Lisbon in 2016. Here he becomes part of the Extended label's core, creates and directs the PISTA! magazine and begins producing music. In 2017 he promotes with Mário (Lisbon, 1982) the Aurora series of parties at EKA, where they also play together and become aware of the roots of their future production. Mário has been making music since the late 90s, he's a DJ since 2007, Moreno Ácido since 2016, the year that appears to contain all the seeds for the present EP.

At Mário's place (General Roçadas avenue in Lisbon) they test beats, samples, ideas. "We got along well and decided to try producing an EP". Title track "Roçadas" comes out fully formed in just one day from an acid line and Brazilian funk samples they stumbled upon in Mário's computer, but a digidub vibe is really what gets the flow going. At the peak, a sort of utopia designed from some kind of Rave essence, identified via the string ambience which shoots emotion into the future.

"On the same day we lay the foundations for Be Quicka Or Be Dread": bassline, cuíca and whistle appeared so spontaneous that this track was immediately taken for granted and was the last one to be finished. Tight mechanical march most of the time, layers of percussion, assertive bass in a track of its own, allowing the several blocks of groove to roll freely. Towards the end, gradual untangling of the structure.

"Verde Grama" was initially intended as a version of the K&T Mix of ”This is Acid (A New Dance Craze)" (Maurice), but the tone and cuts in the main horn stabs tell a different story, still inspired by the original material, sure, successful in capturing its spirit, but clearly operating from a new generation of components and their respective contemporary interpretation. 2019, people.

Korg's Minilogue was used to lay out most of "Coisa Leve", balanced between the dreamy, trance-y initial crescendo and the broken beat that easily takes this into robotic territory. A splash of "E2-E4" (Manuel Göttsching) comes and goes, leaving a light trace of 1989 Italian House and a gradual exit which itself indicates the exit of the club.
