Sublunar, the record label founded by Sciahri and Dagdrom last year starts his 2018 with a brand new EP from the Berlin based artist Refracted, known for his releases on Semantica, Pole Group, Silent Season and Mind Express.
 
This 12″ perfectly represent how his style has been crafted during these years, a balanced mixture between his incredible ear for detail, tunnelling trips and tougher beats.

The EP starts with Vórtice and as the title says you will encounter a complex vortex of tribalist percussion, a mindblowing headtrip with plenty of moving parts slowly progressing across its eight minutes.  Ray it’s a full immersion into a trippy atmosphere with an high detailed percussive accompaniment, the result is a display of power and finesse.  Meta gives the title to the 12″ and shows to the listener a full overview of the skills hidden into Refracted’s repertoire. A tune that it’s constantly evolving over his runtime where a pressurized kickdrum push the tension higher after every beat.  Meridian, the closing track, stands out for its adventurous sound design, featuring an endlessly pulsating environment where everything is floating delicately in suspension.

The world tells you to satisfy your needs with the material. The world says you must live out the lifestyles of the rich and powerful in order to become successful and happy. The world demands that you pursue, and expect, more. This is the doctrine of today. This is 'freedom' in a materialistic world. Abandon these traps of consumerism and the materialistic world. Abandon, and set yourself free.

Tale   Of   Us   breathe   new   life   into   their   acclaimed   'Endless'   LP   on   Deutsche   Grammophon,   enlisting   a diverse   set   of   remixers   to   interpret   the   compositions.   The   album’s   celestial   atmospherics   and   classical melodies   provide   rich   source   material   for   the   eleven   remixers,   whose   contributions   range   from   serene ambience   to   barrelling   techno.

Beginning   with   Kiasmos’   version   of   ‘Notte   Senza   Fine’,   the   record   continues   with   similarly   dreamy   and delicate   house   music   from   Giegling   duo   Kettenkarussell   and   Sebastian   Mullaert   (of   Minilogue   fame).   All in   all,   ‘Endless   Remixes’   lives   up   to   the   quality   of   the   original   album   and   takes   it   in   fascinating   and effective   new   directions.

Lhasa(feat. Positive Centre)

Sombra, the Lisbon label founded by Shcuro and Peterr, is back with a fourth release to celebrate their fourth anniversary. This time, their sombre and atmospheric vision of techno finds expression through the work of 12 artists, from promising newcomers to established heroes, in a compilation called "4 ANOS", available in tape and digital formats.

Side A opens with label co-founder Peterr on a sparse, sonic slow techno work-out, followed by a breakbeat-tinged atmospheric cut by british talent Positive Centre and a detailed, deconstructed dancefloor-ready piece by Chimess. Young Lisbon producer Prec steps in with a tense, kick-furious roller while another local beatsmith, VIL, delivers an aqueous, percussive stunner and label regular Larix comes up with an ever-evolving broken techno riddim.

Lisbon's Enkö inaugurates side B by raising the intensity bar with a percussion-heavy hypnotic flex, followed by UK legend Paul Mac who hands in an insanely imaginative acid cut punctuated with a dense drone and cutting-edge drum patterns. Label repetent Damaskin is up next with a industrial-noise arpeggiated exercise that manages to take tension levels to extreme heights right before label co-founder Shcuro's peak-time dub-soaked techno seems to create a moment of euphoric dissociation. Buttons' resident Madalba brings all her Berlin knowledge to the table fusing rave intuition with drum innovation and blissful textures, with Cindy bringing a industrial and EBM inspired cut that taps into the soft spot between trippy and energetic to close this oneiric, techno-utopia of a compilation.

Surrounded by mountains, festivals and musician siblings, my childhood gave me a lot of inspiration. 

There is something about making electronic music, that fascinates me more than anything. The boundlessness, freedom to create whatever comes into mind strikes me as a blessing everytime i produce music. 

There´s a feeling of tapping in... into what? i ask myself sometimes. I guess i could call it a state of “now”, an alert, awake, state of mind, where i don’t think about the past, nor the future. I barely think at all. I just create whatever i feel like and what form it will take is unknown. 

As for DJing it’s always different from crowd to crowd. But i like to think of it as a way to make people open up, be free of fears and to let go. You can find so much energy in techno, and i love to lead people into a theme where they slowly can be drawn into that energy. It’s kind of a healing feeling actually. For me music is a free, open playground, where feelings will rise. If something gives me goosebumps, i know i’m touching the right spot.

Since several months I’ve lived in a district called “Västberga” in Stockholm which is most known as an industrial area where epic raves have been hosted throughout the years. Its surroundings have inspired me to make this album. You can feel the monotone mechanical manufactory pulse here since there’s almost only corporations located at this area. As i walk around here daytime, it’s full of big trucks, engine like electric sounds, old railways and trains, while during night its more quiet and atmospheric. 

Through sounds i want to dive into the very abstract feeling of reiterations that i also could feel during my visit in Seoul. The pulse, the people, the traffic, the machines, the clubs. The tempels, The high mountains in the far. Sometimes i loved it there and totally forgot myself.

산, 페스티벌, 음악을 하는 형제자매에 둘러쌓여 지낸 어린시절은 내게 많은 영감을 주었다.

그 어떠한 것보다도 전자음악속에는 나를 끌어당기는 “무엇인가” 가 있다. 마음에 떠오르는 어떠한 것도 음악으로 실현될 수 있다는 전자음악의 “자유성” 과 “무경계성” 은 내가 곡을 매번 만들어 낼 때마다 축복과 같이 느껴진다.

전자음악속 “무엇인가” 다가오는 느낌. 이것이 무엇인지는 내 스스로에게도 가끔 자문하곤하는데, 이는 “현재” 상태라 할 수 있을 것이다. 일종의 현시적 알람 혹은 깨어나게 하는 것 –“현재”. “현재” 속에서 나는 미래와 과거에 대해 생각하지 않는다. 내가 느끼는 것을 온전히 만들어낼 뿐이며, 이는 “미지” 의 형태를 취하게 된다.

디제잉은 관객의 영향을 많이 받는다. 그러나 나에게 있어 디제잉이란 사람의 마음을 열어 내는 행위이다. 궁극적으로 공포로부터 그들을 자유로이 해방시켜주는, 여러분은 테크노의 넘치는 에너지를 느껴 보았을 것이다. 사람들을 이 열정적인 에너지로 서서히 빠져 들게 하는 것은 내가 좋아 하는 디제잉의 과정이기도 하다. 내게 치유적이기 까지한 이 활동. “음악”이란 내게 다채로운 감정들이 자유로이 뿜어져 나오는 놀이터와 같다. 무엇을 만졌을때 아찔한 전율을 느낀적이 있다면, 그것이 옳은 것임을 우리는 알고 있지 않은가.

몇달전부터 나는 스톡홀롬의 “Västberga” 라 불리우는 지역에 살고 있다. 몇년 전부터 산업 도시로 알려진 이곳. 이번 앨범 제작에 있어 이 도시의 환경은 내게 많은 영감을 주었다. 트랙속에서, 기업체 건물로 점차 뒤덮여가고 있는 도시가 전하는, 무채색의 기계적 리듬을 느껴볼 수 있을 것이다. 이곳에서 낮시간에 거리를 걷고 있자면, 큰 화물 트럭, 전자음 같은 엔진 소리, 낡은 철길과 기차들을 마주해볼 수 있다. 반면 도시의 밤은 고요하며 제법 운치 있기까지 하다.

트랙의 사운드를 통해서, 반복적으로 느껴왔던 추상적 감정들을 표현해 내고자 하였다. 이는 내가 서울을 방문 했을때 에도 느꼈던 감정들이다. 두근거림, 사람들, 기계들, 교통 체증, 클럽, 절, 저멀리 어렴풋이 보이던 높게 솟은 산들. 서울에 너무 매료 되었던 나머지, 내 자신조차 잊어버렸던 그때를 떠올리며...

Eyvind Blix - Västberga Allé [OSL005] (Snippets)

Artist: Kontal
Track: Broken Home
EP: What Lies Below 
Label: Soma Records
Release Date: 07.05.2018

Soma welcome a new artist to the label as Maltese based KONTAL debuts with What Lies Below. Having only begun the project at the tail end of 2017, Kontal steps up with four solid, dance floor ready tracks.

Broken Home kicks off with tough, jacked up drums hammering full pelt while disruptive synths set the tone. Trauma deliver yet more warped Techno with a pulsating synth hook building gradually throughout. Reflect brings out the more hypnotic and emotive side to Kontal as ethereal pads drift across more subtle percussive elements. Parallel closes Kontal’s debut Soma EP, keeping up the pace of previous tracks and creates a more dense and cerebral sound.

A well rounded and soundly produced EP, Kontal shows great depth of dance floor knowledge.

"Oblique is proud to present it's second Various Artists EP by friends we have met years ago online.

Before we had our first releases, we would upload our music to Soundcloud and these guys were always on my radar to check instantly. Besides inspiring me, their comments and feedback were invaluable to my growth as a producer. 

Fast-forward a few years and everyone has grown in their own way, with multiple releases, labels and parties to emerge. The platforms have changed, but the connection did not, hence the idea to reunite them on wax :)

The EP shows four different takes on hypnotic techno, starting with the driving and slowly morphing "Radiate" from Kaelan, followed by the intense mindbender "The Nomad" from Antonio Vázquez. 
On the flipside we go more atmospheric with Refracted showcasing his expert sound manipulation on "Uku Che". Ending the EP is the subtlely layered and ultra deep "Ditoan" from Alan Backdrop."

Andre Crom‘s home-base sits between Berlin and Barcelona, his label OFF Recordings once again comes up with the goods on Euphoria.

Brazilian Lucas Freire has been located in Barcelona for a number years, building up a reputation of excellence behind the decks. Using his self taught mixing skills, he is known to harness the floor vibe and gained huge respect for his dedication to the craft. His back catalogue of productions also include outings for labels such as Driving Forces, Different Is Different and Naked Lunch, as continues to make an impact.

Featured as the remixers on this package are two titans, firstly an artist known for hitting labels like Hotflush, Innervisions, and Mote Evolver, Oliver Deutschmann runs a multitude of imprints and is consistently influential in his work.

Supplying the second rework is the Belgian Tom Hades, who continues to play a part in OFF Recordings after his recent EP and appearances on a variety of labels like Sleaze, 1605 and Silent Steps.

For this DT:Premiere we selected the leading track “Euphoria” for its chunky, rolling flow, backed with a warm bassline, and quirky hook. The powerful rhythm is soon complemented with detuned metallic bells, innumerable claps pursuing a lush, energetic aura throughout.

Founded last year by Sciahri and Dagdrom, Sublunar Records presents their third release, this time by Refracted.

The Meta EP is a four-tracker of guaranteed Refracted sound, combining heavy and tough beats, trippy soundscapes and fine details.

Monument previews Ray, perhaps the most trippy and atmospheric track of the release, still being a dancefloor-ready banger - of course in a delicate way.

The Meta EP will be released on 8th of July 2018.
