Aksamit - Moorlands

Convergence: Chapter One, the first entry in a series dedicated to mapping the evolving energies of deep and hypnotic techno. Across four meticulously curated tracks, this VA unfolds like a ritual - starting from immersive, shamanic depths and rising toward a peak-time climax, a journey from introspective depths to uncompromising movement.

Tauceti is back on the label, with a solid 4 tracker solo ep and her singular trippy, hypnotic, atmospheric touch.

Tauceti - Emeraude [non065]

Continuing his exploration of intricate techno systems, their effect and direct perimeter of action, Peter Van Hoesen turns in his newest four-track piece, ‘Prime Directive’: a fascinating dive into the artist’s shape-shifting headspace and inner creative chaos.

Fuelled on a furnace-hot mix of abstract-leaning immersion and hi-octane rhythmic thrust, ‘Prime Directive’ looks at contemporary techno from the angle of experimentation and intuitive abandon. The result comes in the form of four distinct movements, each carving out their own logic and associated behaviour out an endless pool of potentialities. Here comes chaology unfolding in all its unadulterated, visceral glory.

‘Definition by Absence’ breaks the trip in to the sound of a faux-random symphony: its train-like swing and fiery bass seesaw coalesce through an elliptic fluttering of sorts, iterative and not, patterns moving in and out of synchronicity as Van Hoesen applies more or less pressure on both ends. All in gusty in-your-face-ness, ‘Variables Edit 1’ whirls and swirls like an ominous vengeance of nature; Its puncturing kicks and whistling menace set against stellar winds and rabid machinery on the prowl for its next victim.

An even more unsettling piece of disjointedly arrhythmic, anti-club music for the dance floor, ‘Prime Directive’ will have you zoning out like a bad dream, flush with metronome-faced monsters and molten clocks hanging from dead trees. ‘Morphology’ could be PVH’s attempt at giving his concepts a carnal carcass to hold onto. Here, rhythm becomes somewhat less erratic, offering his 360-degree vision more melodic surface and actual room for dispersion. One to keep the boundaries pushed and status-quo challenged, this is techno at its most entrancingly bold and fearless.

*This new monster four-track classic-in-the-making from Peter Van Hoesen comes draped in a fine piece of artwork courtesy of Atact, and pressed in 180g audiophile quality so you get to experience the Belgian master's chiselled sound design in all its glory.

* Owl
An owl with round, unblinking eyes glowing like lanterns in the dark, its feather patterns forming ripples of shadow and moonlight. Silent wings stretch wide, each movement smooth as flowing water. A hooked beak glints faintly, and its gaze feels ancient, as if it has watched the world turn for centuries.
