mauv - Wash Over Me

Night Young label head, Muning, is back with a vibrant EP entitled Cuerpo B. The five tracks collected here were plucked from sessions as long ago as 2015 and as recently as just last year. Despite being recorded so sporadically over the past six years, the tracks form a cohesive whole which displays Muning's varied and complex production styles. Each of the tracks presented on Cuerpo B are deeply personal, warm, and evocative. From the shuffling, propulsive opener "Autoestima" to the yearning, heartfelt lilt of "Through The Hourglass" to the glimmering, effervescent funk of "Calvary Hotel" Muning wears his heart on his sleeve while painting scenes of love, loss, hope, and frustration.The EP ebbs and flows nicely as it progresses; creating peaks and valleys, dark days and picturesque sunrises. Each bit of delightfully sunny synth melody is perfectly counterbalanced by a mournful sample or emotionally impactful chord progression. Muning manages to deftly combine elements of house, new age, ambient, and funk to create something unique, impactful, and necessary.

Hyboid – Sequencing the Apocalypse  [OUT NOW! "Sequencing the Apocalypse" 12" LP / Astro Chicken 10]

Providing his debut for Ransom Note Records offshoot Insult To Injury, our fellow Amsterdammer and ECHOBOX radio DJ Oneven (a.k.a. Andrew Visser) offers up five pieces of electronic meatiness for our ravenous consumption. As a duel British/Dutch citizen, his electronic music heritage is strong and he draws on early IDM / Braindance methods to create a unique, trademark sound. With a huge passion for hardware, Oneven tries to keep the music as organic and honest as possible, mistakes and all.
Lead single (and synth master class) VM1S2RM springs out of the trap first, hurtling along at breakneck pace, peppered with curious bleeps, noises and percussion stabs, this IDM monster leaves little breathing room. Next up, M52t5, comes down a few gears and treats us to some laid back, electro tinged 808 beats and beautifully ethereal chords over the industrial, Kraftwerk-esque synth lines.
brrytmt takes us into another world completely, tugging at the heartstrings with its expressive, lofi chords, rolling over the top of some beautifully heavy, distorted beats. Tissue continues in that vein, more subdued machine sounds are juxtaposed to the frantic 707 rhythms and repeating vocal edit, conjuring up an eerily stunning scene.
Rounding off, we’re treated to more stirring, processed sounds with Dlaciebie. A sparse and precise piece of automaton music that invokes a certain sadness, proving once and for all that, machines do indeed have emotions...

Oneven - Dlaciebie [ITI#19]

Among the students is a little girl who wears glasses. She set them down on a chair before the class started, the way I used to when I was her age and taking classes with Madame Dismailova. You don’t wear glasses when you dance. I remember that when I was with Madame Dismailova, I would practice not wearing my glasses during the day. The shapes of people and things lost their sharpness and everything was blurry. Even sounds became muffled. Without my glasses, the world lost its roughness and became as soft and downy as the big pillow I used to lean my cheek against before going to sleep.

Franz Kirmann returns to Bytes for his stunning sixth solo album, Forget Me Not, travelling inland to explore buried emotions of longing and loss. The music of Forget Me Not is drenched in blurry melancholy, with fragments of melodies and disembodied voices reaching out through dense, textured clouds of sound, perfectly demonstrated by 'Your Tenderness', the track premiering on R$N today.

A meditation on past mistakes, past love and the passing of time, the compositions on the LP are akin to paintings, layered and still, the slowed-down voices from the deconstructed songs echo through heavy reverberation, becoming distant and sepulchral, evocations of a distant past. The melodies, half erased, become almost subliminal.

Kirmann cites My Bloody Valentine as a major influence on his work, but also artists from the British experimental label Touch, such as Fennesz for his work on granular sound and similar melancholic-centric productions, or Philip Jeck for his use of old records to conjure otherworldly musical textures.

PREMIERE: Franz Kirmann - Your Tenderness [Bytes]

Martin Matiske's superb new six-track EP Circle Of Enlightenment on LDI Records is based around the concept of one-mindedness and togetherness and aims to describe the direct connection between human beings and the universe.

 

This German artist was fascinated with mixing records as early as his 10th birthday and had his first release on the legendary International Deejay Gigolo Records aged just 15. In the 20 years since he has released a selection of records on labels like Moustache Records and Bordello A Parigi. His timeless sound comes with a vintage touch and always fuses electro, Italo and techno in fresh new ways.

 

Circle Of Enlightenment is a brilliantly adventurous and storytelling new EP from the ever-excellent Martin Matiske.

Arrakis - Loudr

Two spheres revolve in quiet balance, tethered by a turquoise arc of light

Between them, the golden portal breathes, steady as a hidden rhythm

It feels like a dance of mirrors, holding both separation and union
