Rudolf C - None Of Y'All (feat. remixes by Layup & Daniel Klauser) [NV003]

Imre Kiss finally lands back on the Lobster Theremin mothership, this time with a reissue of his seminal tape album Midnight Wave. 

A seminal, bold and instantly nostalgic LP, Midnight Wave showcases Imre's immense ability to craft vivid landscapes of ethereal sound, infused with layers and years of emotional content. 

Culled from live-to-tape synth sessions in his once London abode, these tracks are the result of melancholic and restricted surroundings and trappings. 

What has emerged is a body of crackling, warm ambient and techno with a vast, cinematic scope. A sonic portrait of an alienated moment in London, told using industrial visceral tools and visualised through the cutting figure of a lonely individual boarding the 5am night bus home.

Baba Stiltz – Keep It Lit

nthng finally follows up his four stunning EPs with a full album proper, arriving in a whopping 3xLP pack.

Arriving a good 6 months after the LT029.5 album sampler which debuted both Soms and In My Dreams, nthng adds another seven hazy, hooded techno bangers to those to make up a pretty dazzling body of work.

Opener 'Touches' is true ambient bliss, with shrouded, blissful synths fuzzing into view and cut through by a soft low distant sunlight. 

Both Galaxy and Eternal thump into view with a hi-paced drums colliding and clashing with syncopated stabs and smooth dusty baselines, recalling the tender techno-trance precipice danced by Dutch producers at the start of the 90's.

The huge mysterious fan favourite and title track It Never Ends gets it's pride of place with 9 mins of deep, cavernous techno, all rippling with epic string-synths and washes of mountainous reverb.

Even deeper numbers are extracted from the hard-drive, including the pensively, digitally-bubbling computer jam Unity sitting tidily alongside the super deep and subtle rolls of Abyss.

Rounding the album out is the appropriately-titled Last. A dark, shimmering, almost emotionless number that cements a different idea of the future. A hard, pounding, yelping, depth-charged technoid closer.

For us, the album feels like a real masterpiece, conjuring a spectrum of intimate and emotive moods, feelings and nostalgia-tinged memories that float into the mind, like the settling fog in the valley on a crisp winters morning.

DJ Seinfeld Presents: Fyodor the Deejay - Untitled

Order here:
http://www.juno.co.uk/products/sad-city-forma/636966-01/

Sad City returns to Emotional Response and Meda Fury with Forma, a special limited edition 10” of music taken from the sessions that created his much-heralded Shapes In Formation album.    

More than simple out-takes, these 3 pieces formed their own unique setting and were deliberately separated as the recording process came to a close and often appeared in his recent live shows.    A conscious decision was made that this ‘set’ should appear together and therefore, represent a link between what has gone before and what lies ahead.  

From the first looped vocal / stuttering percussion that works across the ambience of Music Removed, a deeper compulsion is apparent.  Cascading spoken samples and introspection that drift, swirl and merge infinitely. 

Patterns follows, embedding a love of the fourth world with melancholic yearnings that rise and fall as a quickly as memories.  

Vexillations completes the piece.   Intense percussion and sensuous chime loops create distance to previous work.  Modulating and meditative, an almost architectural structure appears from the dense sequencing and reverberations.

What forms Gary Caruth will explore next are unclear, but the existential wonder of his mysterious sound-scapes and tone make for a celestial journey.

Zarkoff & Co - Iron Flute - RTTD006

With a trail of club-worn bodies left in his wake since his debut Lobster Theremin EP, closely followed by huge slabs for Shall Not Fade and Unknown To The Unknown, TRP joins the Mörk clan with four tough and ethereal modern classics in his crunchy house-techno hybrid production style.

The heavily swung, skippy & raw peak timer, The Future, hammers into view with scorched drum-lines rioting over a dystopian city-wide call from a tyrant mayor and minor 7th diving pads. Full lockdown in 2017.

The A-side eases off with the deeper, tender cut Raindrop Shape. Infused with a sweeter, softer touch of synth hand. Slowly directing small objects and ducks along the surface of the bath, bubbles popping and latching to the flotsam, toes tickling the end of the tap. A day-dreamers delight.

Another TRP archive dig comes forth in the shape of M7. A fictional motorway drive-time cut. Empty 4am lanes, fog lights, tape decks and in-car smoking. One for French airport transfers in small hatchbacks laced with an edge of post-club insomnia.

Closing out the whole is dusty, organic drum-banger Highjacked. Coming on in two layers - low-passed drum rumblings and twinkling, wandering proto-keys - and rolling upwards and outwards into a beaming, acid-grumbling floor-botherer. Knackered, rough and way-too-long-after-closing house music for lock-ins.

There’s not much we can tell you about analogue adventurer Oasis Pyramid. This 12” not only marks his debut under the alias, but also the first outing from Four Triangles, a brand new label from fellow electronic explorer ASOK.

Oasis Pyramid deals primarily in rough-round-the-edges rhythms and intoxicating electronics. It’s testament to his hardware-manipulating skills that these two unifying themes manifest themselves in contrasting ways over the course of a quietly impressive debut outing.

Compare, for example, the chunkiness of the swinging drum hits and intergalactic pulses of “Hydra”, and the poignant late night melancholy of opener “Tracking”, where ascending melodies and wayward electronics combine to create a near psychedelic mood. Or, for that matter, the industrial-inspired drum distortion and mutant motifs of “709”, and the deep and trippy hypnotism of “Prism”, where locked-in percussion hits and ghostly riffs are smothered in crackling, modular noise.

It’s a fittingly fine first release from Four Triangles, a label founded to showcase the work of previously unheralded artists working in the space between house, techno and vintage rave. Expect more hard-to-define, dusty, rhythmical electronica in the future.
