Released under the iiP moniker, ‘SEN’ is the latest work by sound designer Setsuya KUROTAKI - a three-part composition shaped by field recordings, live instrumentation, and finely calibrated programming.

Constructed as a musical self-dialogue involving his alter-egos "Sebastian Kline" and "Nicolie Binara", the work examines the fluidity of sound materials and the emergence of emotion through the conceptual frames of “Sequence,” “Environment,” and “Neutral.”

Balancing restraint and organic layering, it can be read as a subtle disturbance of the boundary between interiority and environment.

Environment

Arrakis é uma faixa de techno experimental que evoca paisagens áridas e futuristas, marcada por atmosferas hipnóticas e densas. Sons metálicos se fundem a riffs de guitarra distorcidos, criando uma ambiência sombria e psicodélica, onde cada batida ressoa como um ritual de intensidade crescente. A música se desdobra em camadas de tensão e expansão, conduzindo o ouvinte a um transe profundo, entre a aridez do deserto e a imensidão cósmica.

English version:
Arrakis is an experimental techno track that evokes arid, futuristic landscapes, marked by hypnotic and dense atmospheres. Metallic sounds merge with distorted guitar riffs, shaping a dark and psychedelic ambience where each beat echoes like a ritual of rising intensity. The music unfolds through layers of tension and expansion, guiding the listener into a deep trance, between the dryness of the desert and the vastness of the cosmos.

TECH CLUBBERS PODCAST W/ ALAN BACKDROP

Straight from Northern Italy, Alessio Meneghello or better known for his moniker Alan Backdrop, has been alluring his listeners through his productions characterized with deep atmospheres and a mixture of different genres. Simply put, Alan’s fascination is a reflection of his passion for electronic music and inspiration he gets from the world around.
He is the kind of producer that certainly enjoys his studio jam sessions—this is the reason why he spends most of the time in his studio tweaking knobs on synthesizers, recording and experimenting with the aim to capture and create his exceptional sound.
Alan Backdrop released his debut album, VR Plan, in 2013 on Prologue, an album that includes some of his pioneering tracks, such as “Cherber,” “Medel,” and “Siere.” Shortly, he managed to create his second album, Eria, released in 2014 on Ekar Records, label and platform with which he has a long-lasting relationship and where he released a big part of his discography. He recently joined Mental Modern and Semantica Records where he kicked out some 12".
Alessio's side project is a_000, born from the unprompted come across of him and Enrico Rlt, which resulted in the creation of "Road to Nauta", the very first wax from Ekar Records and "Ness Reworks 001", a 12" containing two original tracks plus two remixes from the label founder and friend Ness.
In addition to spending most of the time in his studio, Alan Backdrop performs in various festivals—the latest in which he performed were Modem Festival and Parallel— and in different clubs and musical events. Fascinated by electronic music and concentrated in the realization of atmospheric musical journeys is the best way to describe Alan Backdrop.

06. Order To Disorder

Silence is beyond time; it is a state that transcends words and thoughts; it is naked, it is intimate and true knowledge; it is the eloquence beyond the distinction of subject and object, beyond words, beyond external and internal constructions. Returning to the silent stillness of ourselves is true liberation.

Northallsen Records is pleased to present our release 047 by our label head Aleja Sanchez. 'The Language of Silence' is an introspective journey where the learning in the middle of silence is transformed into organized sounds.
