JOTON - Modern Machinery [Newrhythmic Recs]

A classical musician and composer since childhood, Jeneva first touched turntables at age 14, learning to mix on vinyl then later digital. They reconnected with DJing while studying philosophy at university, then spent four years honing their craft in Madrid's techno scene. Since relocating to London last year, they’ve rapidly carved out space for themself, securing a residency at Klub Verboten and playing for Boudica, Unfold, Elata, and many other London faves. Their sound is guided by pathos: immersive, melancholic journeys built on rich textures, ethereal melodies, and complex rhythms that embrace dark emotions and push toward catharsis.

Slam/@paragraph | Sanctuary EP 
[SOMA502D] 

1. Conduction
2. Rotation
3. Convection
4. Sanctuary

Slam continue their prolific activity in 2017 with their new 4 tracker, The Sanctuary EP. 

A year of relentless touring hasn’t stopped the Soma label heads from firing on all cylinders with each release, and this latest EP sees the duo turn up the heat once more.

The EP starts off with Conduction, a heady mix of crafted Techno and strong, tripped out melodic rhythms. The rigorous Rotation is up next and goes full tilt, drawing on the main sequenced tones to drive home a powerful and reactionary affair. Slam are always ones for creating great synergy within their releases and do so proficiently as the EP goes deeper with Convection. Subtle, modulating synths lead the charge and perfectly crafted percussive elements remain steadfast throughout. The duo close the EP with the title track Sanctuary. A vibrant, affair packed with pulsating tonality, as classic synthesis methods are used to immense effect.
