Spiral Snare (1998) [Excerpt]

T_st - Echoes

The Tunisian electronic music producer Ben Khlifa has joined Nastia’s rapidly growing record label NECHTO and is releasing a 4 track EP. 

Tracks from the EP were first played by Nastia in her audiovisual project Scary Beautiful. The intense, and at times obscure tracks consist of overwhelming and speedy energy, which perfectly fit the dynamic and hauntingly mesmerizing mood of the project, the label, and the atmospheric world Ben Khlifa converts into the audio form. 

Having started DJing at a very young age, the artist experimented with various genres, eventually realizng that he is most drawn to the raw energy of techno and was early inspired by Berlin and Detroit techno. The producer sees no limits in what one can achieve in the realm of music - music drives itself once it receives an external force.

Delsin welcomes Spanish techno icon Reeko to their Cameron series. Pushing his impressive take on techno for the past 20 years he keeps re-inventing himself, with a recent move on Berlin's Samurai Music presenting a full drum & bass EP as perfect example of this. And also here for Delsin, it's a fresh approach exploring new sides of techno. It's broken and wiggly with dreamy riffs tying it all together. Uplifting mountain valley techno combined with stepping off-beat kick drum jams. It's a flawless pack where Reeko shows he's capable of creating playful heads down techno of any kind.

Title: AMTK+004 - ORBE x Angioma & BLANKA
Label: AMTK+
Release: 28 Jun 2024 Vinyl / 26 Jul 2024 Digi
Cat No: AMTKPLUS004

A1 - ORBE - Inverted
A2 - ORBE - Exelon
B1 - Angioma & BLANKA - Mindset 
B2 - Angioma & BLANKA - Bottomless

"The fourth release on Amotik’s AMTK+ label delivers two tracks from Orbe Records boss Fernando Sanz, aka ORBE, while Room Trax honchos and the appropriately hyped Angioma & BLANKA serve up a couple as their collaborations continue.

ORBE’s tracks on AMTK+004 show two sides to the producer’s hypnotic leanings. ‘Inverted’, a powerful and percussive roller, balances waves of percussive intensity while ‘Exelon’ builds on its companion track with a strong dose of mind-bending EFX and arpeggiated melody.

Angioma & BLANKA’s contributions to AMTK+004 see the pair drop the minimalist, bleep-driven ‘Mindset’ alongside the precision layering, detail and looping of ‘Bottomless’.

Set up to release artists Amotik is genuinely inspired by, AMTK+ is a sub-label to his eponymous outlet for his works. AMTK+004 features three artists who have a clear synergy with what Amotik does, and the result is a 12” that truly delivers."

ATEQ - Countermapping

To speak to Luca Daniel Schwarz aka LDS about his music is to be enthusiastically guided into a complex world of his own creation: clean and powerful techno which pulses with life from the textured patterns and drum sequences that have fills and accents that would make anyone who's picked up a set of drumsticks envious.

Yet this ecosystem of noise is deceptive; Schwarz's process for making music is very different to how a live drummer would create the same subtlety of performance. Forever researching new technology, Luca got deeply interested in different programming languages, and created a series of probability based music tools for manoeuvring sounds and sequencing.

Manipulating those probabilities takes a skillful alchemy, needing understanding of both musical structure and how the tools he devised work. To return to the drummer analogy, if the drummer is focussed and intentional in the moment of playing, then the method used in LDS tracks is almost diametrically opposed, with all of the intention coming in the assembly of the instruments, potential paths, and gateways; once play is pressed the music flows, following all the rules that were set in advance, not unlike a domino run or Rube Goldberg machine.

And like a domino run, the results are fascinating and, ultimately, fun: staccato vocals pop in and out in 'zipp prompt'; laser-like synths pulse; background noises sweep across the aural plane of the dub techno of 'diff, blockmix' and 'pow' adding texture that brings vitality all-too-easily missed out when complex mathematical processes become entwined with music creation. The high sensitivity to texture and rhythmic detail in Stadion Progg is multiplied further on Jean Redondo's remix - whose track, Hypersonic, was the backbone of 2023's 'yet' compilation on Tresor.

The balance between technology and a sense of fun might also come from the maker; it's not easy to overstate Schwarz's passion for what is now his favourite way to make music, "it never gets boring. There's always a moment of anticipation to see what actually emerges." And the true "power of 2" comes into play when the resulting music can be fed back through the system again and again, potentiating the music in exponential ways.
