Info: 
The debut full length album from Gloved Hands, entitled Empty Terminal, finds the musician straying from the dance floor in search of something amorphous and less tangible. Ambient in nature, the eight tracks that comprise the LP have a deep focus on texture, space, and human feelings rather than a need for constant propulsion and momentum. 

The A-side, the more rhythmic and percussive of the two, is awash with vague echos and smudged, slow-moving chords. Subaqueous drums shift in and out of focus. Sound sources are at once distant and intimately close. The curtains part to reveal a glimpse of a crystalline melody or a fraction of a vocal phrase only for the room to fill with fragrant smoke and go dark. It is a place beyond the dance floor. Perhaps it's a place without any floor at all.

The B-side is even more fragile and diaphanous. The foreground and background are obscured, leaving a hazy mesh of delicate, interwoven forms and rhythms; glistening and brushing against one another in the warm, dimly-lit space in between. With a swirling mix of cavernous bass and sweet-but-never-saccharine melody, the details are stretched and abstracted into something new yet familiar. The compositions ripple in midair, appearing and vanishing, close but just out of reach.

Artificial Dance is very happy to announce that we’ve spent a wealth of time going through the archived recordings of Richard Zeilstra, AKA Genetic Factor. Richard was a pivotal figure in the Amsterdam new wave and avant-garde pop music circles. Besides hosting the ever-influential Spleen and Radionome radio shows on the VPRO he also found time to conduct his own audible experiments. As a firm believer of music by non-musicians Richard has made the effort throughout the last decades to keep on recording in a variety of different guises on different parts of the planet. In these different times and places, the genetic factor was always there. We are happy to announce that we will release a limited edition sampler 12” vinyl before the end of the year. The sampler contains 2 songs from a forthcoming 2x12" full-length archival compilation and 2 exclusives. The archival compilation will see the day of light in 2022. Fully endorsed and in collaboration with Richard, compiled by Olf van Elden & Robert Bergman.

Genetic Factor - Sampler 12" (AD015)

Carl Finlow keeps on keeping on. As the world changes around him, the veteran producer continues to do what he does best - craft top-quality electro tunes which invoke the sound’s Drexciyan heyday, yet carry themselves with an assurance that is all of Finlow’s own. 

Finlow remains a prolific producer more than a quarter of a century on from his emergence. Still averaging several records a year across a variety of aliases, recent times have seen Finlow forge particularly strong links with the Central Processing Unit label. Now, after a run of EPs for the Sheffield imprint which began with 2018’s ‘Projections’, Finlow’s Silicon Scally project offers up CPU’s first drop of 2022 in the form of the ‘Field Lines’ LP. 

Silicon Scally productions have long been marked out by how they combine piston-precise beat programming with more textured synth play. ‘Field Lines’ runs with this formula to deliver some of Finlow’s most atmospheric material to date. At once shadowy and expansive, listening to ‘Field Lines’ is the aural equivalent of taking a night-time drive around some futuristic metropolis. 

The beats cruise sleekly here. Many of these burbling machine-funk numbers hover at mid-tempo, the crisp clip of their drum programming given shape and depth by all sorts of percussive tones fizzing around at the fringes of the mix. Even when ‘Field Lines’ seems to set its sights on the club - the Bunker Records-aping ‘Amino’, for instance, or the dystopian whizz-bang of ‘Static Fire’ - the tracks here strut sturdily rather than giving in to full-on freakouts.

However, from this sturdy base, Finlow moves outwards. Working with tones which range from rapid-fire machine-gun bass to keening, dawn chorus keyboard pads, Finlow leads us through the futurescape with the expertise of a seasoned guide. Cuts like ‘Submerged’ and ‘Yield’ are brilliantly cinematic, blooming from those reliable drum pulses into miniature masterpieces of nocturnal electronics. Elsewhere on ‘Field Lines’ there is a mechanical majesty to ‘Inhibitor’ and ‘Altered Domain’ which invokes the brave new worlds that Kraftwerk repeatedly conjured in their heyday.

Central Processing Unit’s first release of 2022 is ‘Field Lines’, an LP of electro-funk explorations from Carl Finlow’s Silicon Scally project which will thrill regardless of whether it’s experienced through headphones or out on the dancefloor.

V/A - Efficient Communication [ATROC.BE004]

If looking at the headline made you think that Trommel switched to something illegal – relaaaaax. It’s just the name of the label – Sex Tapes From Mars, not a big deal. The label is having its second release and all the lights are on Muelsa. You may know him as a part of the blooming French scene, with landings on labels like Forest Ill Records. He also landed on the first release of STFM, as a part of VA with Nemo Vachez and Hubz. Let’s check what he prepared for today. As I’ve been told, “the whole release was made in the West of France”, not in Paris, Muelsa’s usual place to be. Let’s go.

For episode 9 we proudly present Augusto Taito! The native from Buenos Aires, is both a lover of the old school mixing styles and a vinyl player at heart. With high end productions that landed him spots on labels such as Suara, Dynamic Reflection, Edit Select, Revolution and KSR, he commits to a continuous exploration of sound and scifi-esque noises. Sufficient to say that merit is the only reason why he achieved such a level and this focus is present on this 90-minute mix through techno. An energetic set delivered with finesse and style!

@taaris_music is a French Dj whose work is to make Raw and Hypnotic Techno a shamanic rhythm process. In a vision where textures are the DNA of the plants, Taaris's music revives ancestral atmospheres. A return to the strains which exploit both the Berlin acidity, the psychedelic vibratile but also the subtlety of the rhythms.

Nella quattordicesima sessione di podcast, siamo molto lieti di presentarvi un grandissimo artista: Tony, owner & resident di ''Groovy Community''.
La sua filosofia musicale è contraddistinta da vibes ritmiche, groovy e avvolgenti, sempre alla ricerca di nuove evoluzioni.
Le caratteristiche ipnotiche e percussive che definiscono il suo sound partono dalla deep techno per poi evolversi successivamente al concetto più purista della techno.

LOWSYSTEM - JAGGY'S PNEUMA 06ENE23 @ THE GARAGE OF THE BASS VALLEY

There aren’t many black techno producers / DJ’s in Berlin these
days but @eonan is definitely one of them. Since a few years he is
creating his own sound signature which is dark like his skin but
deep and drifty like his mind. By himself he would describe his
music as sci-fi-techno but he doesn’t take himself too serious
with that. His style is definitely atmospheric, hypnotic and
deeply reflecting the ups and downs in life.

To understand Eònan’s identity it’s helpful to spot the light on
where he comes from. Born and raised in Germany he pretty
early got infected by techno music from artists like Surgeon,
Jeff Mills, Takkyu Ishino or Cari Lekebusch just to drop a few
famous names from the 90’s. Nevertheless these kind of
artists had a big influence on Eònan’s musical development. It’s
important to mention that he also made a huge journey
through different genres that reflect in his music as well. All that
creates an interesting sound signature that catches more and
more fans in the scene.

As a DJ he likes to play at a tearing pace, always with a certain
groove and intelligent synth sounds rather than choosing
narrowed and too simple tracks for his sets. In Eònan’s opinion
techno is a universal language that speaks to us like it comes
from a far out and foreign galaxy.
