New & hot: Electronic

Calm & Steady series

- short tracks of dance music

All tracks were uploaded between 09/2020 and 01/2021, mainly in the 11/2020 - 01/2021 interval, with the following exceptions:
. . - Nyctomancer (Carbon Based Lifeforms - Central Plain)(#5): 4 years,
. . - pulsetrain "Kurtosis"(#18): 6 months,
. . - Francesco Cartocci "Crickets and Cicadas"(#20): 5 months.

The other series (short tracks) so far are:
- "Hard-Fast-or-Nasty" (more intense/abrasive)
- "MiddleLane", and "Superdance" (the middle, or ambivalence)
- "Funky-Dub-Trap" (terminology conundrum)
- "Fantaisies" (for professional dancers only)
- "Minimal"
- "Dark"
- "BreakB-Jungle-DnB"

There is little overlap between them, mostly between: *
. . A) MiddleLane, Superdance
and
. . B) all other series

* Increasingly there is some overlap between "Calm & Steady" and "Funky-Dub-Trap", and between a bunch of others (Dark, Minimal, ...). I'm trying to keep it to the minimum, the overlap, tracks finding themselves in more than one playlist.

Glaswegian producer Emma ‘Solid’ Blake is a current staple of Copenhagen’s burgeoning electronic scene. Co-founder of the now-defunct Apeiron Crew (along with Mama Snake, Courtesy and Smokey), she’s been consistently churning out leftfield electronic gems and turning out full-throttle sets around the city. She’s just helmed this hefty rework of Tred’s ‘Disconnected’ forthcoming on E-Missions – which we’re premiering now below. The cut opens gently, with rippling synth waves, before throwing down some heavy, freeze-dried bass tabs. Tune in now.

Fragments Into Nothing

Premiere: Tred - 'Disconnected (Solid Blake Remix)'

💎 The Gemstone series is all about the artists we love, the ones we support and believe in. 
With this serie, we are going back to the roots of the Crépite philosophy: Discovering and sharing gems. 

• Vodoom aka Houssem Ben Romdhane is a special musician. His music derives its originality from this mystical journey that is made to rock the ears with ethnic notes and original melodies, translating the murmurs & silences of true nature.

• His words:
"Music follows me everywhere, 
Never leaving my mind, 
It pushes me every day to dare
I could walk its melodies while blind
It is the essence of my soul
The source of my happiness and inspiration
My one and final goal
Forever saving me from artistic starvation"

система | system presents "Bubny Voices" audio Installation by Ukrainian Kyiv-based artists NFNR & unwavemenot.
~ "The Bubny Voices is an artistic documentation of the Nádraží Bubny area in Prague, which is about to be destroyed .
The compositions are created by Ukrainian composers unwavemenot & NFNR out of field recordings collected around the Bubny railway station by local inhabitants.
Originally the piece was supposed to be a site-specific performance at Nádraží Bubny. Due to the COVID-19 outbreak borders were closed, thus the invited artists NFNR & unwavemenot did not have access to the city. They decided to approach Bubny through auditory impressions of the local residents.
Bubny Voices reflects the experience of new places based on imagination rather than sensations. In such a way, the artists fulfill a need for discovery in times of limited freedom of movement. They suggest using imagination in order to document places that disappear. The work means to grasp collective aural memories of Bubny to be able to experience the area after its disappearance.
Bubny Voices were created as part of the Performance Crossing Festival in Prague in May-June 2020.." - NFNR & unwavemenot

~ "Bubny Voices — це музична документація району залізничної станції Бубни у Празі, яку невдовзі знесуть.
Композиції створені українськими композиторками NFNR & unwavemenot на основі польових записів, зібраних навколо залізничної станції місцевими жителями.
Роботи мали бути створені як site-specific інсталяція у споруді вокзалу. Через спалах COVID-19 та закриті кордони запрошені музикантки NFNR & unwavemenot не мали можливості працювати з місцем особисто. Вони вирішили вивчити Бубни через акустичні досвіди місцевих жителів.
Bubny Voices є переживанням досвіду міста на основі уяви, а не відчуттів. Так музикантки задовольняють потребу у нових враженнях і відкриттях у часи обмеженої свободи пересування. У подібний спосіб, вони пропонують використовувати уяву для документації місць, що зникають. Композиції вбирають колективі акустичні спогади про район, щоб мати можливість відчути цю місцевість після її зникнення.
Bubny Voices були створені в рамках фестивалю Performance Crossing у Празі у травні-червні 2020" - NFNR & unwavemenot
