A new single rising to the surface from Berlin's underground techno scene: Guardian is a fast-paced tool track made with field recordings. It ducks in and out of soundscapes, shifting between the immersive and the peripheral.

Npoint O - Guardian

Full Paroxysmal EP: https://soundcloud.com/sebastianhoffma_nn/sets/paroxysmal

In this work Sebastian seeks to reveal a hidden energy, utilizing percussions and ambient sounds derived of electromagnetic field interferences. The rhythmic rumblings blend with spacious synthesizers, punctuated by the vocals of Mo Van Zandt, evoke a dreamlike allure that simultaneously captivates and unnerves.

PREMIERE: Acutek - Losing Grip (Flick)

In Memoriam

With Dwellers, language and symbolism run deep as CAIV, a new collaboration from Israel Vines and Camille Altay, challenges listeners to embrace the ambiguity of existence, and accept incongruity as a vital part of the whole.

CAIV was borne of the partnership initiated on Israel Vines' 2021 track, Keeping, and Dwellers delves into the realms of sound, semiotics, and half-obscured meanings, starting with the word-association from the pair's chosen moniker that led to the EP's title.

As Vines explains, "CAIV is obviously our initials combined, and we both liked the "cave" references that it brought to mind - digging, exploring, existing pre-modernity and continuing underground through the ages."

Across the four tracks CAIV use both language and rhythm to create a dense strata of significance and buried meaning - titles like G&ouml;belki Tepe and &Ouml;tzi 2.0 reference prehistoric relics whose full history is unlikely to ever be unearthed, while Cymbalism and Shamanfreude exhibit a joy in word play that hints at the very old and modern at the same time.

Altay explains this further, "This convergence of pre-civilized ironies, opposites, conundrums, conjectures, this is what I love about these great human discoveries. There is no definitive answer - someone hazards a guess that is grasping for meaning. We can only feel our way towards the truth of it, based on the signs and symbols we know and have associations with."

Fittingly, the music itself is deep and reverberant - combining primaeval rhythms with modern sound production and unexpected instrumentation. The opening track, Cymbalism, is built around samples of Altay interacting with Polish artist Alicia Kwade's TunnelTeller - a sculpture they describe as "resonant metal tubes and concrete, resembling an instrument waiting to be played"; again this neophile urge to do things differently leads them paradoxically to techniques that might have been second nature to humans thousands of years ago.

Altay can't fully put a name to this drive: "I feel like in the music we write, Israel and I are grasping toward a language that we both share and grew up speaking, but can't actually write down. It's referential, and specific, but hard to describe&hellip;we live on opposite sides of the country, so the music we send back and forth feels a lot like we're signalling to each other by lighting fires on a mountain. It's a way to communicate deeply over a great expanse with a nonlinear gesture." It is this instinct to transmit experience in novel ways which drives the CAIV project.

CAIV - Shamanfreude 2.0

Echelon takes you on a trip into the core of subterranean techno. Starting in the ominous vacuum of ambient, Intact Code transitions to droning house to finally arrive at the nerve-
wrecking rhythms for which the pioneer is known for.

The journey of Intact Code is conspicuous, while its destination is clear. Having his roots in the 90s, the Dutchman Jeroen Search is a veteran in the underground electronic-music scene. 
As an inspiration for artists along the full spectrum, he is a delicacy for techno connoisseurs. 
Jeroen is recognized for his progressive consistency, but always crossing the front lines of musical inventionality. 
Within his Echelon alias he pushes his experimental
boundaries by mixing synthesized sensor data from satellites from outer space with his trademark of uncompromising techno. 
Together with Amsterdam based Lazy Reflex Complex,
Jeroen Search releases an album honoring his legacy while surprising his audience with
vibrations from other galaxies.

Mastered by Audiosculpture.
