There were an exotic array of colours which danced amidst his line of vision in the hazy warmth of a summer afternoon. They shimmered and shifted in perspective from time to time, a beautiful mosaic of flickering lights and dancing shades. His world was a kaleidoscope that afternoon, it were as if there were some beautiful angle igniting the natural tones of the world around him in flames and glorious technicolour. Wandering between tall trees and the long grass he felt very much at home. 

Ryabina are set to release an EP on Faktura, a record label which we have featured music from before. This time it's a beautiful dubbed out techno affair which showcases a really sense of maturity and understanding for the intricate, delicate, pensive nature of electronic music.

Resonant Moods

Hugh Mane - Coming Home [Within Reason Records]

It started, as it so often does, with two old friends hanging out. 

John Shima and C P Smith were joking around one evening in their home city of Sheffield. At some point, Smith challenged Shima that, if the latter could produce a record using nothing more than a small modular synth setup, then Smith would release it on his Central Processing Unit label. As heads will know, while Shima has drops on imprints like FireScope and Subwax Excursions to his name, he had never previously released anything via CPU. Shima accepted, and thus we now have his CPU debut, the four-track EP CPU Modular 1.

The specific setup that Shima worked with for these tracks was Smith’s Doepfer A-100P6 Suitcase, a small but mighty combination of modules and programmers. It’s no surprise that Shima was able to familiarise himself with the equipment in double-quick time - after all, Shima was an early adopter of the Eurorack modular format back in the day. What emerged from the CPU Modular 1 sessions was a quartet of devastatingly effective DJ tools, mid-set rollers which will get the dance moving something crazy.

Opener ‘003’ kicks the EP off as it means to go on. There’s something at once stiff-necked and buoyant about the rhythms here, all thwacking Roland tones and snares which crack like someone whipping a length of sheet metal. While the beat barrels unyieldingly onwards, the programming in the tuned modulars is more exploratory and even trippy, full of delay-laced bleeps and flighty rhythmic motifs. It comes together for a cracking mix in the vein of artists like Jerome Hill and London Modular Alliance. Second A-side cut ‘010’ is no different, the street-beat groove and grumbling low-ends underpinning all manner of modular wizardry.

CPU Modular 1 is really timeless stuff, a set of percussion-heavy, future-focussed beats which recalls Smith’s own CPU drop ‘DJ Tools Vol.1 - 808 Tracks’. ‘011’ kicks of CPU Modular 1’s second-half with a dose of Drexciyan dystopia, playing an atonal loop off of an insistent bass wiggle and neurotic hi-hats. Even when Shima tightens or slackens the modulars here, ‘011’ remains unyielding, a dose of pure ‘Wip3out’ energy that you could happily groove to all day long. The EP closes out with ‘005’, a gnarled, gurgling production which still retains the dancefloor punch of the rest of the record.

For his Central Processing Unit debut, John Shima was tasked to produce four tracks using a single small modular setup. Unsurprisingly given the pedigree of this seasoned machine-funk pro, Shima aced the assignment.

Artist: The Jaffa Kid
Title: Passing Signals
Label / CAT#: Suction Records / suction056
Format: Vinyl / digital LP
Release date: June 3 2022

“Passing Signals” is the Suction Records label debut of The Jaffa Kid, aka UK producer Daniel Pringle. Over the past few years, The Jaffa Kid has been building up a strong following amongst braindance/d’n’b/acid heads, with killer releases on labels like 030303, Altered Sense, Utter, and his 2 standout “anonymous” WH03 and WH09 EPs on the Withhold label series. 

From the melody-drenched 303 acid of “Olyqu” and “Xom”, to the Bochum Welt-style electro vibes of “Ief” and “Tropet”, it was clearly just a matter of time before The Jaffa Kid appeared on Suction. With these 8 carefully curated tracks, Suction Records delivers 8 tracks of timeless melodic electronics, and surely the most solid The Jaffa Kid release to date, in our books!

Available digitally, and on limited vinyl LP in a reverse board jacket — includes a Bandcamp download card inside.

MICHAEL CLAUS - LAVENDER PALACE (SILK139)

Whittled down from dozens of live recordings made using a micro freak synthesizer, a volca drum, and a volca bass, synced together using basic CV. A handful of those recordings were then sent to long-time friends and collaborators who live across Canada, in hopes of them contributing any type of vocal sound to be incorporated into the recordings. Then using a walkman, a speaker, and a recorder, their vocal parts were transplanted and re-amplified in various locations in the rural areas surrounding the barn where the songs were created.

Though not all of the vocal contributions received ended up on the official release, their efforts were remarkably creative and equally important to the process. Those in order of appearance are; Laura Da Silva, Carol Graham, Kira Daube, Michelle Kissinger, and Victoria Parker. Long time friend and musical counterpoint, Scott Brailey, now located in Germany, was employed with mastering the final mixes. Constellation Records alumni and Toronto musical aficionado, Craig Dunsmuir (Kanada 70) constructed a reduced remix of a song not included on the release, but was the first song recorded using the same basic gear and head space.

JFM has been at it since 2008, using an SP-404 sampler as a live instrument for cutting and pasting tracks together. Releasing tapes and CDs in limited editions on friends' record labels around Canada, and while living and working in downtown Toronto. A debut 12" LP on Halifax's Divorce Records in 2013 marked the first official JFM release and a relocation back to the East Coast. The period following this transition was a productive one; cassette EPs, compact discs of various sizes, a locked groove 7”, and a slew of b-side compilation contributions both digital and physical were being released on labels around the globe. This release on Cosmic Resonance marks an important departure from using any samples or sampler whatsoever and instead focuses on connecting with talented friends who have influenced and inspired the shape and direction of this EP.
