06. Kincaid - Sound Of The Stream (Erik Luebs Remix)

08. Kincaid - 71122.0 (Placid One Acid Remix)

11. Kincaid - Sound Of The Stream (Nexcyia Remix)

Amsterdam based molecular biologist, producer and rising talent Teqmun debuts on Flippen Bits with five bits of his warm and uncannily organic sound. 

Organic Oscillations EP is a fresh blend of melancholic IDM, dreamy vocal chops, punchy rhythms and playful break-beat techno. The perfect representation of Teqmun’s approach to music: Energetic, highly emotional and musically wide-open, willing to take inspiration from all realms of contemporary music.
To complete the pack Pariah joins the party and delivers an excellent wobbling roller remix.

The nature inspired track titles of the EP establish a connection between the tracks and the organic world. 
The term - oscillations - refers to the rhythmic, wave-like patterns found in various biological processes such as the beating of a heart or the swaying of plants in the wind. Organic Oscillations suggests that the music captures the essence of these natural patterns, creating a sonic experience that resonates with the organic world.

While Aphid Walk refers to the infrastructural challenges and solutions of the insect world, Parachute Kernel is a seed that has developed a specific structure that allows for it to be carried by the wind. Balsa parallels the sounds of the track with the features of a kind of wood that goes by the same name: it’s one of the lightest woods we know yet incredibly solid. Blossom reminisces the different stages of a flower while developing (just like the track) and And Nettle Dweller, well, you have to be really brave to want to live on stinging nettles, rather appropriate to the stingy track that it is.

FLIPPEN BITS 004 Teqmun - Organic Oscillations EP SNIPPETS

𝑷𝒓𝒆𝒎𝒊𝒆𝒓𝒆: Night Garden - Regenerate [BAIT3]

New French imprint Bait is a label focused on the cross over of two spheres: snare heavy bass-music and immersive mental techno. The outcome is technoïd-dubstep that is minimal, contemplative and at the same time calls for gun fingers and backspins. Label boss Beatrice M. likes to call the genre “dubtek”. This particular release, focused on the more prog and trance-inducing side of the coin, includes "Regenerate", British artist Night Garden's take on Bait's AD. Intelligibly designed, the atmosphere of his track is a perfect balance of trippy textures and sharp drums. The snare on the 3rd beat winks to a genre nicknames "140", but completely re-imagined here, in a fresh yet woozy tunnel.

For extended Q&A please visit our website -----> pipipi.life <---- - 

Introduce yourself? Pronouns? Where do you currently reside? 

My name is Lucas, pronouns he/him, i'm 31. I was born and raised in Lyon, I'm currently living in Rennes where I work as an organic vegetable farmer for an association. The farm  is also a venue where we host gigs, parties and more.

What is the last song you listened to before answering this Q&A?

Following the bandcamp app, that would be Korl - Turbine

Favorite Ableton trick? 

Using the Sampler's built in oscillator to FM anything, super powerful!

Listen to the moment at 1:11 mark in your PI mix… describe how it makes you feel?

It is a moment of growing tension, it makes me feel like I want to be in a club to hear a moment like this. I like when there’s unpredictability in a build up and with the layering of those 2 tracks at that time mark, you can’t really know when the pressure’s gonna be released.

Best gig of your life so far?

It would be both a gig I played and a gig I attended and it was the final afterparty of Positive Education Festival 2018. The most euphoric vibes I've seen on a dancefloor, epic set by the festival co-founders & friends Charles & Antoine as Les Fils de Jacob. 

Favorite mix in recent memory?

Ani/live number 3, livwutang at Nowadays.
Incredible blends of all kind of club music genres.
Exactly what I feel like I want to do these days, thus being far from the result. This mix is really inspiring and really resonated with me.

What would you like to see in the future for the dance community?

I’d like to see more clubs & venues in France like Macadam in Nantes : no pictures/video, nice sound system, inclusive policy and constant communication on how to behave in a club & a lot of smoke inside. I think we lack this kind of venue in the country. The educational part is very important because I tend to find a lot of people being disrespectful towards other people, venue staff and artists.

Carrier - FATHOM (FELT006)

https://soustraitance-sstr.bandcamp.com/album/masterbep

SousTraitance Label, one of the many representatives of Lyon's scene resurfaces from the depths with Masterbep'. The third installment in their compilation series dances on the fringe of the current yet futuristic club scene, echoing the eerie beauty of organic sounds emanating from reptilian, xenomorphic entities. 

Featuring as usual up-and-coming French and international Producers (Trois-Quarts Taxi System, Rxex, Smogo, Anta Doma, Orchid, Homelander, Marmo), this seven-track CD fuses elements of halftime DnB, entrancing psychedelic techno, gravity-defying dub uk, nebulous IDM and razor-sharp breakbeats. Each track feels like it has been meticulously nurtured in amniotic fluid, infused with rhythms carrying an acidic edge - a testament to the profound influence of modern electronic music on the mind.

Infotext:
To give a person one’s opinion and correct his faults is an important thing. It is compassionate and comes first in matters of service. But the way of doing this is extremely difficult. To discover the good and bad points of a person is an easy thing, and to give an opinion concerning them is easy, too. For the most part, people think that they are being kind by saying the things that others find distasteful or difficult to say. But if it is not received well, they think that there is nothing more to be done. This is completely worthless. It is the same as brining shame to a person by slandering him. It is nothing more than getting it off one’s chest. 
(Yamamoto Tsunetomo - Hagakure: Book Of The Samurai)

Cousin & Priori - Numina (ANINAFF01)

Somatic Rituals co-founder Kombé embraces flux and uncertainty on his debut EP, ‘Foreign Exchange’. He tools up five tracks built for adventurous DJs, constructed from an assemblage of liquid polyrhythms - inspired by the constant movement of foreign exchange markets and the plurality of Kombe’s own cultural and sonic references that give rise to his distinct sound.

buy: https://kombe.bandcamp.com/album/foreign-exchange

‘Foreign Exchange’ balances function and narrative across its 25-minute length, with each track serving as a strong individual statement and as a part of a greater whole. The EP contrasts and finds common ground between disparate ideas and concepts, rooted in intelligent percussion, intentional sampling, and a synthesis of organic and machine-made sounds. It explores the parallels of currency exchange and cultural exchange, perpetually fluctuating financial markets and the shifting sands of the audio marketplace, the fetishisation of money and fetishisation in electronic music - whilst juxtaposing East African and European vocal samples over hypnotic, angular grooves that evoke traditional and ritual-based musical contexts. Rhythms slowly unfurl and coalesce into a storm, periodically settling into moments of reprieve while encouraging dancers to find their own relief in the syncopated patterns.

EP opener ‘Batian’ opens with skipping, filtered synth stabs over a stuttered kick that develops into a driving, serpentine rhythm underneath whirling atmospherics reminiscent of torn metal, sinew, and electricity. ‘Emerging Markets’ disorients you with a woozy, seasick groove underpinning a clicktrack beat, all welded to a disjointed kick that steps in and out of the arrangement, taunting a response from dancers. ‘Third Pillar’ functions as an elevated DJ tool with its galloping rhythm and bubbling hand drums that settle dancers into their hips, while vocals reminiscent of ASMR on a bad acid trip evoke the harmony and dissonance of man-machine collaboration. ‘Taarab Fragments’ moves into moodier territory, welding DNA from Swahili coastal genre Taarab to subaquatic Detroit electro atmospherics - holding a delicate tension until a darbuka line bursts through and rewards your patience. The textural, pensive, and beatless ‘Future Entropy Quest’ closes the EP with spiralling synth swirls and a looming bassline that suggests the questions provoked by the record have no clear resolution, leaving listeners to sit with the parallels of enduring volatility of markets and cultural values.

Kombé delivers a clear statement of intent with ‘Foreign Exchange’, offering a hybrid vision in the form of dance music for a freaky club or tripping forest rave that flows between worlds, cultures, and traditions with fluidity and grace.

Now in its tenth year, Frankfurt-based record label Die Orakel has earned itself a strong catalogue of classy releases in a distinct sonic and visual attitude, its latest being a compilation called Braindance. 

A fair assumption about Braindance as a genre could be, that it's rather in the zone of kaleidoscopic and whimsical quirktronica, less about IDM's futurist tropes. From Die Orakel's point of view, its very own Braindance compilation marks the label's tenth anniversary by releasing an intense listener's atlas, to its own and their creative collaborators' musical slant of mind.

While much could be said about spectral traces of a leftfield past, nostalgia isn't heard anywhere. The more you listen to this selection, the deeper the tracks plug into your brain—stretching from ethereal harmonic licks rippling with fragile glitches, bleepy to bass-heavy electroid steppers of any BPM range, to abstract-scientific neo-modular artistry. 

Die Orakel's Braindance transmission can be had as a 15-track digi-release, as well as a 4-track vinyl EP. Pick either for your library of the future.
