_____________________________________________________


The concept behind the second release demonstrates the process of existence; How dimensional space contributes to our understanding of reality.  This maxim has been used to demonstrate the relationship between the macrocosm to the microcosm. These ideas influenced the likes of Newton and there is no doubt that the esoteric traditions have influenced the fields of quantum theory and other branches of physics.


- The space time CONTINUUM 
Where the third dimension meets the forth. A single manifold of possibility,  expressing the super galactic and the subatomic. 

- The SUPERIOR MIRAGE of illusion. Where falsehoods  masquerade as truth and the breadth of possibility stimulates the depth of perception.  

- The BROKEN FORMS of experience. 
Where form follows function, and the metaphysical shapes the physical. 

- The SOIL of the earth. Where the organic meets the chemical, and the natural defines the synthesised.

_____________________________________________________


The ancient philosophical concept that attributes movements in celestial bodies as a form of music, Musica universalis or the music of spheres. This age old idea is fused with the technology and industrial conditions of modern society. A meeting place of traditions and antiquity contrasted against the Technological revolution of our industrialised society.

The label will be limited to 10 releases. A journey from 1-10. Inspired by organic structures and familiar forms found in the natural world contrasted with the synthesised elements and experimentation of expression. Output will focus on the more experimental aspects of Techno and Electronica. Each release will profile a collection of new ideas and soundscapes. A tour de force of sounds and influences fusing ambient, abstract aspects with interesting sound design and production

5. Dronelock & Ontal - Templum
6. Dronelock & Ontal - Hypothermia

The third chapter of Shadow Story is another collaboration between its joint label owners, Dronelock and Ontal who show once again that their symbiotic relationship is a meeting of like-minds and distinctive production techniques.
The EPs opener, ‘Parallax’ starts with a cinematic intro before launching into its pounding groove and dark electronics before the Shadows Remix version comes crackling into play.
The title of ‘Drop Forge Steel’ conjures up an industrial landscape and you won’t be disappointed when this tough Techno track starts throbbing with all the intensity we’ve come to expect from the Dronelock / Ontal partnership.
Though ‘The End of Eternity’ continues the pace of its predecessor, it also displays a quietness in its gentle melody to juxtapose the steely resonance.
The shimmering ‘Templum’ launches next, with a heavy kick and beat-led drive that carefully builds layer upon layer, gathering momentum to become a beast of a track.
‘Hypothermia’, with its beats pulsating like a heartbeat, closes another decisive EP from the Shadow Story camp.

CATALOGUE NO: SG003 
RELEASED: 06 JULY 2015

Following Dronelock’s recent album collaboration with Ontal on sister label Shadow Story, the Bradford based duo of Martin Cartledge and Alexander Church now team up with Armenian duo T_st to produce a more melodic take on experimental techno with ‘The Eternal Now’.  With support from the likes of Surgeon, Lakker, Inigo Kennedy, Pearson Sound, Adam Beyer, Marcel Dettmann and many more, Dronelock, as one might expect, have found that techno in its broadest term, is the perfect sanctuary for their production ideas to manifest.  This time the Bradford duo team up with two Armenian born and raised friends - Davit and Garik – aka T_st. Initially meeting in 2007, T_st realised that they share the same passion for music and subsequently joined forces. During the years they just created and learnt in a loop, developing their own sound and musical visions in a small studio isolated from the city for months and years. For them it was a period of a self-recognition, which they consider an ongoing and never ending process. A process that has seen them play every venue in their home city of Yerevan whilst stockpiling an arsenal of hundreds of unreleased tracks, most likely never to see the light of day in their quest of constant evolution.  ‘The Eternal Now’ awakens with the aptly entitled ‘Aqua Prelude’, exuding ethereal soundscapes meeting sustained clusters of liquid tones before ‘No Sleep, No Dreams’ gradually unfolds into a muscular, staccato rhythm before the dub techno influences of ‘Metamorphosis’ take us back into the slippery blackness.  The album’s eponymous track delivers a steel edge back to the industrial pulse before the off-beat snares of ‘Virtues of Venom’ give added bite to proceedings. The metallic heartbeat thumps once more in the chest of ‘RT1 Montibus’ whilst ‘Further Than You Thought’ is perhaps the album’s closest concession to the dancefloor groove.  The ambient soundscapes of ‘Inbetween The Mirrors’ give the listener space to stretch out before the microscopic fluctuations of ‘Navzike’ sharpen their focus on the minutiae of every pop, fizz and crackle in the ether. ‘RT2 Anemoi’ takes us back to a cavernous boom, this time inflected with light and melody before ‘Syringa x Persica’ (feat. Lilith) adds a somewhat Moroccan industrial edge before closing out with the heady dub stepping strut of ‘RT3 Aqua’.  T_st & Dronelock Tracklist:

Dronelock & Ontal - SS006 (Preview)

It is a frightening thought that man also has a shadow side to him, consisting not just of little weaknesses but of a positively demonic dynamism. The individual seldom knows anything of this; to him, as an individual, it is incredible that he should ever in any circumstances go beyond himself.

The shadow can include everything outside the light of consciousness, it may be positive or negative however the less it is embodied in the individual's conscious life, the blacker and denser it is. A constantly thickening veil of illusion between the ego and the real world and in spite of its function as a reservoir for human darkness, the shadow is seat of creativity.

Stories and folk narratives are the stuff of legend. They transcend language and express the universality of the human experience.Stories are invention engines that capture and reflect infinite imagination, transporting people to far galaxy's or to the beginning of time. Music harbours similar qualities, the art of timeless sounds produced for a borderless audience providing escapism, insight and expression.
