Hoax Believers - Guerrero EP (D91003)

When I realised that every word is just an extension of a previous that has met its end, it seemed inconceivable to me that anyone could ever reach a place where they felt content with language. That is to say language as an emotive driving force, language as a pendulum that swings between a predetermined pool of words, ones that morph in shape and sound but rarely in meaning. Naturally, this meant that every word also has its upper and lower limits, suspended like a tightrope between the factions of time. For example, the word ‘happy’ has a limited life span until it inevitably becomes ‘ecstatic’; ‘ecstatic’ only exists insofar until it transforms into ‘euphoric’. Imagine if we consistently reduced the ranges of these words until we only had a few to describe everything around us. Which would you choose?

Egyptian-Australian based producer and DJ Moktar is one of those artists for which language never suffices. Instead, his music requires spiritual and personal attention as you find yourself flooded with a wave of visceral emotion through the lens of leftfield techno and IDM. The same goes for his third musical offering, a self-titled EP coming via Mall Grab's Steel City Dance Discs.

Following his inaugural single 'Silk' and then 'Lemon' is no easy feat, but the emotionally-charged 'Drip' is ripe with warm pads and a quavering gentle high-synth line that highlights Moktar's versatility, not only as a producer but also as an artist. 'Drip' is imbued in the same sensibility as the rest of the EP, one which celebrates his Arabic heritage and culture after having spent years facing stereotyping and racism in so-called Australia. Defined by his beautifully crafted intersections between future club music and traditional Arabic instrumentation and sampling, Moktar represents an artist who has now reached a point where he feels comfortable moving around freely, physically and spiritually. 'Drip' is a welcome pause amongst the organised chaos of the rest of the high-energy EP. It is a call to reflect on the moods and feelings that he has so carefully embedded in the EP, and an invitation to follow your true self.

Artist: Aloka
Title: View Source
Label: Haŵs
Cat No: HAWS007
Format: 12” Vinyl

Tracklist: 
A1. View Source
A2. Blind Spot
B1. Red Shift
B2. Enigma

Now with a steady accumulation of exciting names in their back catalogue and hammering along their stride, Cardiff-based event promoters and label Haŵs welcomes Aloka to the household. For the imprint’s 7th release comes the interplanetary ‘View Source’ EP, an arsenal of controlled chaos via four essential, dark electro cuts.

The titular ‘View Source’ is a vicious opener, brandishing its pummelling acid and muscular drums with a snarl. There’s no retraction of the hostility when it moves to ‘Blind Spot’, however, whose sinister drones take flight like birds of prey over the percussion and synths that squirm as though they’re being targeted down below.

The flip side introduces ‘Red Shift’, a vehement stomper with a proud disposition and a classic electro beat, its acid-lines flaring up in a temper-tantrum of robotic aggression. Finally, the attack is subdued. The EP finishes on a more melodic close with ‘Enigma’, a drowsy, rich soundscape of atmospherics that seem to fall in slow motion. There’s a real sense of space with this finale; recurrent flares of synths stammer over the languorous bassline, withdrawing and emerging like the gasping embers of a fire in a vast room. A final breath extinguishes the flame.

Electro has many flavours, and Aloka traverses this palette with ease from its gritty peaks all the way down to its melancholic depths.

Aloka - View Source (HAWS007)

Born from a mutual admiration of the groove ethic of 90s house music, Primitive Needs is the collaborative project of Melbourne locals Matt Stringfellow and Jackson Gray. Whilst staying true to their formative influences, the new project channels a natural progression towards late night club ready sounds, aided and abetted by an influx of new hardware and time in isolation. The dj and production duo step up with their debut "Phase Unity" for DAD008 displaying an array of house & breakbeat across the board with fellow Melbournian lads DJ Life, and Escape Artist on remix duties!

PREMIERE: Primitive Needs - Sprained Ego Protocol (Dance All Day)

Steve Marie start dj since 2000 and is known to have played in major Parisian clubs since 2008 and start to produce his own music in 2010.

Originally from Corsica, early music and self-taught, it’s under the influence of the Electro music and Techno that he began his first mixes at the age of 15 years of music production in stride…

Evolving in his style, Steve experiments and takes a turn in a techno style that wants to be abstract and futuristic, trancy in a nod to the beautiful 90s around 2015. He concretizes this ambition with his acolytes OPAQ Records leaving Signal EP in February 2018 which meets a great success among wise listeners in the underground world.

The energy that Steve deploys in his work is materialized by a second release on Opaq Records Transgression EP’s 002 in June 2018 that kept all its promises.

In addition, his perseverance at work allows him to take slowly but certainly his flight including crossing borders with dates in Germany, the United Kingdom, Russia and Ukraine and more.

In 2019 he produce his first album on LIBERTINE RECORDS - Libertines Industries 4, with 9 rave tracks with his first Industrial touch on it.
