Life is a snowflake
a free-falling star
a fragile reminder
of all that we are
born of a raindrop
laced by the breeze
spinning through space
dancing through trees
a diamond of light
a gem in the sun
a journey of hope
a new life begun

Out 28.01.2022

Up next in our main series are Milan-based dub techno outfit Primal Code. With a solid back catalogue comprising releases for Hypnus Records, TGP and Konstrukt, the Italian duo have honed their skills to impressive effect over the last few years, forging a sound signature thoroughly engaging on both body and cerebral levels, and now punching in on KOC to breathe further hard-hitting opaque heat into the collection.

Putting things into gear, “AI Calculator” propels us across dim-lit streetscapes and murky subterranean entrails, pared-down to a minimal array of modular signals, subtle machine inflections and particularly acute rhythmic progression. Steering the original into further pumped-up, DJ-friendly territories, NAFF affiliate Priori drops the hammer badman style, bringing forth the racing muscular bass and squelchy machine talk on loop mode to keep everyone on their toes from start to finish.

Flexing a different kind of acidic swagger, “Autopilot” pulls out the weird extra-terrestrial jazz tropes and whirling dynamics for a round of proper otherworldly bop in the outer-space. Last but not least, “Mainframe” rounds off the release on a more openly experimental note, letting the loops, envelopes and textures float in a haze of half-controlled abstraction. The result evokes something of an immunocompromised Rubber Johnny getting glazed as he weightlessly drifts off from a galaxy to another, and into another world completely.

Bandcamp: hoverist.bandcamp.com/album/expansion-chamber
Release Date: March 1st, 2024
Info: Image Research is excited to present a new suite of songs from label stalwart, Hoverist. As one of IR’s founding releases in 2021, ‘Universal Veil’ set the tone with its timeless soundscapes and displaced electronics, embedded in a deep love and appreciation for 90’s IDM.

Flash forward to ‘Expansion Chamber’, the newest offering from the producer which dials in a more rhythmic approach to an already expansive and rich palette. Where ‘Universal Veil’ covers like a warm blanket, ‘Expansion Chamber’ cuts like a knife with a sheen of precision and attention to detail. Genre-bending with fluidity and poise to astonishing results.

There is an uplifting clarity to each of the 4 tracks, that unfold deeply and differently with each listen. Clockwork percussion, emotive synth-work, and an endless supply of chopped and refracted acid sequences combine to entrance and catapult physical movement.

CHIWAX042 - PERSEUS TRAXX - A DIFFRENT APPROACH

Free Shelter invites one of Helsinkis newest underground royalty, Stella, for their 45th guest mix on IDA Radio.

What is the most common denominator when a person evolves in a rapid speed and goes from novice to all-around maestro? We’d say talent. That is what Stella has. 

A newcomer to some, virtuoso to others. The way Stella grew from the underground scene in Helsinki to a resident at one of our most beloved Clubs in Kaiku, is nothing short of extraordinary. Her ear for the moment and current sound is un-paralleled and has helped her form a unique sound that elevated her place in the citys hierarchy. 

Her secret is to instead of shutting emotions out, she let’s them guide her. ”It is a nice way to get to know what I am feeling with just listening to different kinds of music and choosing what resonates the most with me in that specific moment”. This is evident in her mix. 

Like a solar eclipse, these moments when someone comes in and reshuffles the deck does not happen often so take note before it’s too late. Bow down.
