4. Modulator AKA Freddie Fresh – ProMars

2021 sees EPM hit a new milestone as the digital distribution, rights management, PR company and record label celebrates 20 years of electronic music.  In April, we announced the first part of our EPM20 celebrations - a series of three multi-artist EPs released across the summer, each focussing on a different genre.  

The first of these focussed on techno with new and exclusive tracks by Robert Hood, Ben Sims, James Ruskin and Mark Broom for release at the end of May.  We’re now ready to drop ‘EPM20 – EP 2’ which turns the spotlight on electro.  For this special EP, we’ve gathered brand new tracks by The Advent & Zein Ferreira, Carl Finlow, Detroit’s Filthiest and Modulator a.k.a. Freddie Fresh.

As all good electro-heads will know, The Advent (Cisco Ferreira) is as renowned for electro as he is for techno.  On ‘Strangeform’ he works alongside his son and rising talent, Zein to turn in pure electro-funk that’s blistering to the last beat.  Another absolute master of the scene is Carl Finlow who brings deep bass notes, carefully crafted melody and his meticulous production skills to ‘Optogenetic’.  Detroit’s Filthiest has been wowing listeners with his work for labels like Casa Voyager, Bass Agenda, Philthtrax and his own MCEC.  His track ‘Werewolf’ is the electro monster the title suggests – dark and tough Detroit-electro book-ended with a playful vocal.  The EP closes with the legendary, Freddie Fresh who after three decades is a genuine virtuoso.  Under his Modulator guise he layers beautiful retro synth stylings and sci-fi atmospherics on ‘ProMars’.

The third EP featuring four house tracks will follow in July, with the ‘EPM20’ compilation after the summer.

Artist: Adrien D'Elzius
Title: Brnsrgry EP
Label: Burial Soil
Catalogue: BUR009 
Format: 12" Vinyl
Genre: Electronic
Style: #Techno
Release date: June 4, 2021

Tracklist:
1. Adrien d'Elzius feat. Spazmic System - Brnsrgry
2. Adrien d'Elzius feat. Miper - Toxic Flood
3. Adrien d'Elzius feat. Miper - Toxic Flood (UMWELT Remix)
4. Adrien d'Elzius feat. Miper - Toxic Flood (Lloyd Stellar Remix)

Adrien d’Elzius is giving his debut on Burial Soil, the title Brnsrgry (Brainsurgery) points out what to expect sound wise. Both originals will pull you deep down in a mystic dark whole, twirling you around and spit you out feeling dizzy from all those fascinating sounds.

Brnsrgry is more rave orientated, moving forward and leaving Devo going green with envy about how to whip it good.

Toxic Flood transports another energy, still scratching the worlds of Acid but way darker and mysterious. Great vocalist Miper asks: “Where will it lead?“

Time for you to find out!

The first remix comes from the one and only UMWELT, needless to say, this Electro banger hits you hard with its punchy acid line and it is roaring in your face: “I’m a dance floor beast!“

Second remixer on this release is the dutch Lloyd Stellar and faithful to his dutch electro origins, he created a journey to float away into cyberspace.

Ornithology I. Chronicles of the ground (Collettivo 21), 2023

Hand In Hand

Adaptation Assez Facile

The 1st grade class (1°U) of the Primary School "Livio Tempesta" in Quattro Castella (RE), assisted by their teacher Loredana Caruso and father Giuseppe Cordaro, have created musical scores and sounds of their school community. The children participated in two days of educational activities during which they experienced firsthand active listening and theories about the sound landscape. On the first day they recorded the sounds that accompany their school life every day (photocopier, gate, restroom flush, music room, kitchen, etc.). They also experimented with sonification of the willow tree in the garden using an Arduino board. During the night, a digital microphone (audiomoth) was installed near the willow tree to record nocturnal sounds, as the school is located in a peripheral area surrounded by greenery. On the second day the children, with the guidance of their teacher, selected the sounds recorded on the first day, and I created a 60-second file.

Texada (Original Score)

The Quarry

The work is contrasting aural places of intimacy and enclosure with expansive spaces and propagates through their interaction.  The title is borrowed from a painting by René Magritte, depicting two coffins seated in a mountainous landscape. The source materials for the work have been recorded with an 18 channel microphones arrange in a globe shape, encoded in Higher Order Ambisonics. The work was completed with the support of Musiques & Recherches at the Métamorhose d'Orphée studio during in the summer of 2024.

Studio No.3

With the summer festival season drifting into memory, it feels like the right moment to linger on one of the most thoughtfully shaped events in recent years. The Mostra Festival unfolded over the Easter weekend across two Barcelona locations, and what set it apart wasn’t just the programming, but the curation - a balance of trust, patience, and precision. The first two days leaned toward the ambient and the experimental, tipping into rhythm as the nights wore on. Yet the real magic of that opening stretch lay in the beatless hours. Friday in particular offered a moment that still reverberates among Mostra regulars and beyond: Robert Henke’s performance of Dust. If there is any place in the world designed for such a work, Mostra provided the perfect frame. For one afternoon, Henke held the crowd in complete attention and reverence, something essential for any artist, but especially for one whose work is as delicate, shifting, and expansive as Dust.

For many of us, Robert Henke, Monolake to longtime listeners, has been a constant presence in the background of our musical lives. His records shaped taste, his performances redefined how electronic music could be experienced live, and his role as co-creator of Ableton changed the very tools we use to make and share sound. Few artists can claim such a dual legacy: architect of both the music and the machinery. Whether in moments of joy or frustration, whether in the studio or on the dancefloor, it’s impossible to imagine modern electronic music without his fingerprints on it. Henke embodies the link between technological innovation and artistic expression, and his influence runs deeper than most of us can trace.

Dust is perhaps the clearest expression of that link. Powered by a custom granular synthesis engine, it reduces sound to particles, field recordings, analog tones, machine hiss, bells, and waves, then disperses them into clouds that evolve in real time. The result is less like a composition and more like a living organism: fragile, unpredictable, always becoming something new. At Mostra, this unfolding took shape in late afternoon, after Patrick Russell’s set had sharpened the air with its own restraint. Henke stepped in with a 360-degree surround system that transformed the floor of Fabra i Coats into a resonant body. The sound was cosmic and liquid, grainy and immense, stretching outward until it seemed to erase the horizon. Every surface in the space shimmered with detail, as if the air itself had been tuned. What made it remarkable was how fragile it all felt. Nothing was forced; every movement seemed to arise on its own, like dust caught in late-afternoon sunlight. Yet the immersion was total. People surrendered, leaning into the space as if trying to hold onto something that could never be held. For that hour, Mostra wasn’t a festival anymore. It was a room of people floating together in a world made entirely of sound, knowing it would never happen in quite the same way again.

Delayed x Mostra: Robert Henke presents Dust

ksana is a musical piece by Benjamin Thigpen (France-USA) writed for two Tu-Yo (Laporte new invented instrument) and Computer.

ksana is the Sanskrit word designating the smallest interval of time. It is the 90th part of a thought. When a man snaps his fingers, 63 ksanas have gone by – and within each passing ksana there are 900 instances of arising and ceasing.

To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour.
			                  - William Blake

Artist: The Hacker Vs Commuter
Title: Roentgen
Label: Cultivated Electronics
Catalogue No: CE039
Format: Vinyl / Digital
Released: 14 June 2021

Track Listing:
A1. Roentgen PT1
A2. Roentgen PT2
B1. RBMK (MMT-8 Remix)
B2. RBMK

Fellow Frenchmen The Hacker and Commuter take their inspiration from the TV series, Chernobyl to create an imaginary soundtrack for their collaborative EP on Cultivated Electronics, which has already been on full throttle in 2021 with releases by DMX Krew, London Modular Alliance, Morphology and Maelstrom across both CE and sister label, CE Ltd.

Cultivated Electronics isn’t letting up any time soon, with this new EP from two major forces of the scene who should need no introduction, having between them released over the years on labels including Zone, Mannequin Records, Klakson, Dark Entries, Bass Agenda, Elektrofon and too many others to mention.  

Here they deliver three new punchy electro tracks that convey their love of vintage electronics and machine funk, but with a modern touch that will hit all the right notes for electro fans, with names like ‘Roentgen’ (a unit of measurement for the exposure of X-rays and gamma rays) and ‘RBMK’ (Chernobyl’s nuclear power reactor).

The EP includes the added treat of a remix by MMT-8, otherwise known as Ed Upton (DMX Krew) and label head Phil Bolland (Sync 24) who deliver an escalated reworking of ‘RBMK’.
