Extatica - Vertigo [LP]

Aleksandar Grozdanovski who is better known by his alias Herzel is present on the international electronic music scene for more than 10 years. Starting off as a photographer and visual artist after gaining a degree in art and applied photography in Sophia, 2007. Aleksandar did not remain in one sphere only, but wandered around. From a very early age he had an interest in the arts. From comic books to sci-fi, photography and visual arts, movies - always curious - music was the only passion that lasted until this day. His music style is best described as an entanglement of many genres, from post punk, synthwave, ebm, indie electronic, as his early influences, to house and techno. Nowadays, Aleksandar mostly explores the nuances between techno and house.

In 2019 Aleksandar started to work as an editor for the Macedonian Telekom Electronic Beats and was featured in the 20 Years of Electronic Beats book.
He co-runs a vinyl-only label Bran (БРАН). The idea behind the label is to utilize Macedonian jazz, funk and pop music from the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s in today’s context of electronic music. To broaden this idea on the international scale, BRAN invites artists from all over the globe to work on editing the original music. So far the artists that worked on these two releases are: Eddie C, Daniela La Luz, Uabos, Metropolitan Soul Museum, Flute Power and Herzel. At the moment their second release is out, distributed by Bordello A Parigi.

In 2020 he started releasing more experimental and abstract synthesis works under the HRZL alias. First album is called “Subtopia” and was released on cassette by the UK label Soundtracking The Void. “Furies”' is the second mini-album that came out in 2020 as a self-release. The album “Exoteric” was released on TEOREMA/Diffuse Reality, 2021. HRZL tracks are featured in various artists compilations: “Coping Mechanisms (Electronic Meditations)” - Dimension of Being Human, “The Rising Sound Of Skopje” - Стотројка, “Year 1” - Kulture Galerie.

At the peak of his live acts were his appearances at Dimensions Festival in Croatia, Electronic Beats Festival in Skopje and Love International Festival in Croatia. Besides constantly playing at renewed underground clubs and parties around the globe, Aleksandar is a regular at Parallel showcases and Berlin’s most infamous clubs such as: Tresor, Griessmuehle, Sisyphos, Ipse & Salon Zur Wilde Renate.

Release Info :

John Shima - CPU Modular 1 [Central Processing Unit]

It started, as it so often does, with two old friends hanging out.

John Shima and C P Smith were joking around one evening in their home city of Sheffield. At some point, Smith challenged Shima that, if the latter could produce a record using nothing more than a small modular synth setup, then Smith would release it on his Central Processing Unit label. As heads will know, while Shima has drops on imprints like FireScope and Subwax Excursions to his name, he had never previously released anything via CPU. Shima accepted, and thus we now have his CPU debut, the four-track EP CPU Modular 1.

The specific setup that Shima worked with for these tracks was Smith’s Doepfer A-100P6 Suitcase, a small but mighty combination of modules and programmers. It’s no surprise that Shima was able to familiarise himself with the equipment in double-quick time - after all, Shima was an early adopter of the Eurorack modular format back in the day. What emerged from the CPU Modular 1 sessions was a quartet of devastatingly effective DJ tools, mid-set rollers which will get the dance moving something crazy.

Opener ‘003’ kicks the EP off as it means to go on. There’s something at once stiff-necked and buoyant about the rhythms here, all thwacking Roland tones and snares which crack like someone whipping a length of sheet metal. While the beat barrels unyieldingly onwards, the programming in the tuned modulars is more exploratory and even trippy, full of delay-laced bleeps and flighty rhythmic motifs. It comes together for a cracking mix in the vein of artists like Jerome Hill and London Modular Alliance. Second A-side cut ‘010’ is no different, the street-beat groove and grumbling low-ends underpinning all manner of modular wizardry.

CPU Modular 1 is really timeless stuff, a set of percussion-heavy, future-focussed beats which recalls Smith’s own CPU drop ‘DJ Tools Vol.1 - 808 Tracks’. ‘011’ kicks of CPU Modular 1’s second-half with a dose of Drexciyan dystopia, playing an atonal loop off of an insistent bass wiggle and neurotic hi-hats. Even when Shima tightens or slackens the modulars here, ‘011’ remains unyielding, a dose of pure ‘Wip3out’ energy that you could happily groove to all day long. The EP closes out with ‘005’, a gnarled, gurgling production which still retains the dancefloor punch of the rest of the record.

For his Central Processing Unit debut, John Shima was tasked to produce four tracks using a single small modular setup. Unsurprisingly given the pedigree of this seasoned machine-funk pro, Shima aced the assignment.
