His five years at the helm of IDO (Intercontinental Dance Organization) have provided Valentino Mora the outlet to explore his concept of “active meditation”, through the lexicon of deep and organically-textured ambient house and techno.

Now with the inking of sub-label imprint EDO (Exothermal Dance Organization) Mora’s newest output finds direct, molecular inspiration from deep in the aquaverse. Taking its name from the chemical release of heat, EDO’s exothermic first EP delivers four tracks of heady, transformative techno atmospheres. Charting Mora’s evolution from multi-channel acoustic recordings, samples and digital-analog hybridity, Hydrosphere EP continues his production complexity yet arrives at this point via the singular expression of modular synthesis.

“Erosion” opens as a cryptic transmission from submersed entities, with haunting tone tendrils emerging from within the indigo unknown. A subtle echo of reverb softens the edge of its propulsive kick drum, creating an entrancing, enticing and unsettling journey into the deep. The snaking minimalist shimmer of the title track “Hydrosphere” evokes a landscape of frozen tundra, with a backdrop of shifting, urgent techno precision. Bewitching through endless motion and slow deliberation, chimes and pings are stretched out and warped to mind-bending effect.

“Doppler Shift” takes a forthright approach, leading with prominent looped bass tones, percussion and rhythmic sweeps. Rounded shapes move rapidly through the inkinesss, forming repetitions that only intensify in pace and energy. To complete the resynthesis, “Solarized” embodies the life-giving warmth of it’s name, beaming irregular shafts of illumination into dark, bass-heavy, chugging terrain, forming melodic wisps of tonal condensation.

Half Light Half Dark Remixes

It’s our biggest pleasure to bring you podcast #159 from Simone Bauer aka Simone Giovanetti (Sure Thing, Annulled, Accent Records, Melantónia, et al).

For us, this mix is the ideal sign-off as the festival season winds down - transporting us to a dance floor among the trees. It's late afternoon, there’s a cool breeze against our skin, our bodies are locked in a delicate embrace with the gentle grooves, brushing up against fellow music lovers as the sun slowly dips in the sky, frequencies permeating, speaking to us in ways our rational minds can't comprehend, our bodies responding accordingly. We’re feeling that priceless sense of freedom and connection. Know what we mean? ;)

Simone's mix for On the 5th Day is the perfect ride to lose yourself in (in a good way!) - pacy and rhythmic, packed with some special twists and turns highlighting his exquisite track selection and slick, seamless mixing abilities. An outstanding journey intricately woven together, with some beautiful goosebump inducing moments for good measure.

Thank you, Simone for the journey.

Biggest love <3

On the 5th Day Podcast #173 - Øbsidiaän

A special mix from our resident Minù Jr. to celebrate the equinox.

Description : 
Minù Jr is a multi-faceted project, in constant evolution, always looking for new influences. His two techno-sounding EPs, Ostinato and Electronic Pulses, reveal the artist's discovery of electronic music production.
In the last one, Electronic Pulses, he presents his singularly audacious vision of techno with four tracks with different atmospheres.
This year, Minù Jr joins the roster of the Lyon-based collective/label Monochrome and increases the BPM towards a synthetic drum n bass tinged with dub. The programmer of Chalet Perché (which celebrates its 10th anniversary this year) continues his discovery with several strings to his bow and arrows always well sharpened.

Noite Profunda

The Heaven of the Blue Demon es un viaje sonoro a través de un reino místico donde la oscuridad y el groove se funden en una atmósfera intensa. Este track de techno oscuro combina ritmos profundos, texturas densas y una energía cruda que evoca un mundo oculto, gobernado por la fuerza del movimiento y la entrega al ritmo.

Déjate arrastrar por la gravedad de este universo sombrío... el éxtasis comienza en las sombras.

"PERSEVERANCE" SYNTHETIC TECHNO x MINIMAL DJ  @thehiphopyt  [REMAZTER]

Artist : Qindek
Title : Through Time EP
Label : Snejl Recordings Black
Written and produced by : Qindek
Mastering by : Salz Mastering, Cologne / Germany
Distribution : www.decks.de 
A1. Projection Of Detachement
A2. Drums Through Time
B1.   Ondergrondse Boventoon
Release date : 3rd of May 2016 exclusive vinyl

Romanias Snejl Black teams up with Qindek for its 4th release. What we get are 3 tracks, carefully sculpted, ultra-pure visions of techno. Each is thoroughly uncluttered, and given just enough color to be compelling. Simple kick drum, undulating sounds that provide something distantly related to melody, and very subtle backdrops that pair a soothing hiss and quiet drones. Nothing is superfluous, everything is essential.

Danza Tribale boss Adiel is the latest to step up to the plate for Bleep’s mix series. Rather than going all-out from the off, the Rome-based DJ shows masterful restraint in the opening stages here. It’s not until a quarter of the way in that we get the first beat-driven track - Pinch and Peverelist’s Punch Drunk classic ‘Revival’, no less. Prior to this point, Adiel has focussed on weightless tracks with an air of potent, surreal psychedelia about them, interspersing these with evocative cuts from the likes of Carnatic musician Bombay S Jayashri in order to set the scene even better. Following ‘Revival’ the mix’s midsection continues to lean on classic dubstep sounds - Mala and Shackleton feature - before rounding out with some expertly-blended leftfield techno. Strap in for this one, it’s a real trip.

"This podcast is an emotional improvisation, for Bleep and for all the listeners of this particular moment we are all living. A selection of music for the most quiet hours, for the dreamy ones and for the hardest ones, where to understand records in terms of their effect on the mind, you need to hear music in terms of its energy and feeling. It includes some old and new records with my upcoming release on Stroboscopic Artefacts "ESRR"."

Bleep Mix #109 - Adiel

Snejl came out as a neccessity to express a different side of the music genres, the more weirder, intelligent and experimental one, so we're focused on more like unique, original and self-esteemed sounds ... coming from deep roots through techno, electronica, minimal and the ever-changing house.
