Dark Machine Funk welcomes the first guest producer into the fold, Head Front Panel. A huge source of inspiration to DMF
since those highly sought after HFP 12”s hit the record store racks in 2014, Head Front Panel delivers a superb well rounded
4 track EP titled ‘Tactile’ for DMF’s 5th release.

The opening track 'Panama' opens with some otherworldly pads, sweeping resonances tickle the ear before signature HFPdrums hit you with pure engaging energy. Broken kick drums and rattling percussion perfectly sit on this hypnotictribal-esque sonic dream, a depth and area that we've not heard from HFP before. 'Tactile' brings the perfect tool, loopyrhythms that stretch the perception of time whilst getting lost in subtle rides and eerie door creaking atmospheres, deeplistening will provide a new journey on every repeat. 'Surdo' open's side B, and we're catapulted into the fire with shaker/hihat percussion that grab your attention immediately and vocal samples scatter across the stereo field. Shimmering pads takethe track into deeper territory but all while keeping in a constant state of forward motion accented by the occasional doublekick drum. A huge baseline swings the track to give it its funk. 'Them' probably the most recognisable HFP track hammerswith a thunderous kick drum and a subtle repetitive synth line, groove is king here where percussion elements are pushedand modulated to create enough interest to carry the track through till close.

DMF is honoured to present ‘Head Front Panel - Tactile’ on DMF!

Head Front Panel - Surdo [Premiere I DMF005]

The statement "everything that is perfect has no life" suggests a philosophical perspective rather than an empirical fact. It implies that perfection and vitality are mutually exclusive concepts. However, interpretations of perfection and life can vary greatly depending on philosophical, cultural, and individual perspectives.

From one viewpoint, perfection might be seen as static, complete, and lacking in vitality or change. In contrast, life is often associated with imperfection, growth, and dynamic processes. Therefore, according to this perspective, something that is perfect might be considered devoid of life because it lacks the imperfections and fluctuations characteristic of living entities.

However, it's essential to recognize that perfection and life are abstract concepts that can be interpreted in multiple ways. Some philosophical traditions, for example, might argue that perfection and vitality can coexist, perhaps viewing life itself as a manifestation of perfection.

Ultimately, the interpretation of this statement depends on one's philosophical framework and understanding of concepts such as perfection and life.

Everything That Is Perfect Has No Life

Artist: sr²
Title: 'Geschlossene Räume'
Label: Observant
Cat. #: OM017
Format: Digital
Release: 25th April,​ ​2024
Pre order: https://obsmus.bandcamp.com/music

Sounds From NoWhere is pleased to premiere a new sr²' track remixed by  MSDMNR on 'Observant'.

Embarking on their 17th sonic sojourn shrouded in enigmatic allure and veiled in mystery, Observant presents the debut release of sr² — a purposeful new moniker of a well-known figure in the techno circuit since 2007. 
Formed to direct attention exclusively to music, eschewing the distractions of self-presentation, personality, and persona, it stands as an cryptic entity, a calculated construct devoted to the core of artistic expression.

This Leipzig-based producer presents three originals with a muscular onslaught advocated through all his years of experience producing, teaching, and running a record label. 
Further fortifying this release are two prodigious remixers, MSDMNR and Oxygeno, based in Berlin (DE) and Lugo (ES) respectively, packing that cutting-edge ballistics and unapologetic sophistication to temper techno’s thriving contemporary.

In the realm of remixes, MSDMNR’s version of 'Geschlossene Räume' unveils cinematic sci-fi allure from the get-go, consistently keeping the original synth loop in focus, contrasted by the drum programming. 
Reimagining those textural layers from 'Zugmaschine' into his auditory kaleidoscope, Oxygeno spews a synthetic brew of articulated noises that swirl and throb over rippling kick drums and subs.

Juno review: 
Good friends Arnaud Le Texier and Antonio De Angelis have been collaborating for many, many years now. Both long time veterans of the scene, each time they get together, fans get a big treat hearing the results. Peer to peer producer influence drives them to the same high level of what being competitive DJs also does. The Split EP, aptly named, has each producer taking a side of vinyl to themselves to express their current direction. Arnaud Le Texier's 'Chocked' is a no-nonsense warehouse techno banger. Fans of artists like Surgeon or Sandwell District, this is right up your alley. The track 'Discover' has a great liquid groove to it reminding us of classic 90s material off Primate Recordings. For Antonio De Angelis's side, 'Sicario' adds a bit of house elements to this big techno sound while 'Destination' has a great melodic approach to it. For those that say techno is safe and boring, tell them about this record.

You're not dreaming: Oscar Mulero, Kaiser, CONCEPTUAL, Roll Dann, Vegim, Bøhm, Finalversion3, Irazu & Unkle Fon, and Atisbo & Schrzø all in the same Various Artists compilation in our GTX A TOTA VIROLLA Vol06 series.

We still don't know why... but some of the world's most talented producers have decided to participate in this V.A to create a robust, varied, powerful, dizzying, elegant, and far from passing fashion tracklist. Timeless techno with total devotion to the underground, to the dance floor, to clubbing, and to sensory experiences under the smoke and strobe lights.

In this compilation, you won't find a single filler track; each artist delivers impeccable production with an eye on the future of the genre, from the spatial abstraction of CONCEPTUAL to the hypnotic groove of Bøhm, the broken rhythms of Atisbo & Schrzø, the robotic synths of Finalversion3, the dystopian sequences of Irazu & Unkle Fon, the sobriety of Vegim, the luminous percussion of Roll Dann, and the dancefloor destroyer that maestro Oscar Mulero signs with that killer 909 and his sci-fi synth.

This week's mix is provided by Menal Batti, formerly known as Ehrenschwesta. She invites us to immerse ourselves in her transformative and multifaceted soundscape: testament to her Swedish origins, now flourishing in the vibrant techno scene of Vienna, once an integral member of the Wiener Gerüstbau collective, and currently a resident at filtr in Brno. Her music is more than just entertainment; it's a raw, pulsating expression of self.

Batti weaves her Kurdish heritage into her musical narrative, drawing inspiration from her father's saz, a traditional instrument that symoolizes her cultural roots. With a profound passion for 90s techno music, she embarked on a musical expedition, cultivating a unique style that elegantly marries disparate elements of the genre into a harmonious entity.

Enjoy this hour by Menal Batti.
