I discovered Ikeaboy in 2018, featuring his tracks on my Facebook page, Selections with Eva. Though life and procrastination meant sporadic chats between us, we stayed in touch. As I prepared to relaunch my page this year, Damian was the first artist I thought of. He kindly shared 15 incredible tracks, two of which I’m thrilled to feature on my musical platforms.

Damian explains, ''This track is built around some textured noise as a riff and something that barely qualifies as melody played on a contrastingly smooth soft sound. I kept the percussion mostly propulsive with a foley noise I created adding more texture. I often think of my tracks as either describing machines or places, this is somewhere in between, maybe a machine exploring a space. The other sounds in the track are like encounters on the landscape of this ‘place’. The big, oversized chord drop is meant to feel like a sudden beam of light breaking through or a corner turned to where a huge vista can be seen''

Since 1999, Damian has crafted hardware-based techno and electro, releasing on Dublin’s iconic D1 label (and others) and experimenting with darker sounds on Invisibleagent. His music has been hailed as “more bounce than a pogo stick” (The Wire) and “a deep cover curio of oddball techno” (Juno).

He has also collaborated on glitch and electro-acoustic projects, performed at global festivals, and has been teaching music production since 2008. 

His sound is raw, bold, dope and utterly unique.

MAETHESA - Call your name (unreleased)

like for real
i guess it's a contract with the console manufactures or something
like an exclusivity deal
with the popularization of PC gaming over the years, and the less exclusives consoles garner, there are increasingly less and less reasons to buy consoles these days.
Especially when you look at the fact that that really haven't been any major advancements in the technology used. They're just gimped PC's with share buttons.
The last noticeable jump in graphical fidelity was for the 6th to 7th gen.
After that, shit just got kind of redundant.
They have gotten more powerful, though. And what do devs do with this power? Bump up the graphics and ruin the framerate. Hahaha.
It's a shame that a majority of console games from 10 years back run better than the ones today (save for fighters and shooters). 
Nintendo was doin good with the switch, and then dropped the ball (being a fucking bowling ball on their feet) with that new online, that now costs money and has LESS features that it did on the previous one. Anyone that pays money for that while knowing this fact has either too much dough to care, or they want to get fukked. I do understand that devs have to find new ways to generate income when titles aren't being released that frequently, but, I don't think you have to be scummy as heck in the process. Only KIIIND of scummy.
But, anyways ways, enjoy da track, yall.

Constantly trying to communicate something incommunicable, to explain something inexplicable, to tell about something I only feel in my bones...
