Hassan Abou Alam - Mage In A Rage [YUKU]

Amsterdam-based DJ, producer and biologist Teqmun is next up on Nerve Collect with Worms Still Have To Eat The Dirt, a six-track EP of blistering fusion sounds that come with remixes from Ma Sha and TSVI.

Tijmen Blokzijl's work is an involving eco-system of electronic collisions - IDM, breakbeat techno and bass are in constant mutation as he layers in deft melodies, cooks up punchy rhythms and screws about with synths. He has done so on the likes of Sann Odea, Traumgarten, Flippen Disks and on self-released EPs that have all constantly pushed at the fringes of sound design. Now he brings all that together again across four electrifying tracks for Gamma Intel and Identified Patient's Nerve Collect.

This EP finds Teqmun departing from the cute and colourful elements of previous releases and becoming inspired by the harsher phenomena in nature, such as a high speed escape of hopping desert rodents called Jerboa, deadly sea slugs and fluffy Echinopsis cactus. I am often inspired by nature and its images and quickly get real sounds or feelings of atmosphere in my head when I see images of natural processes. In this case, it’s grimmer natural processes that inspired me which is why these tracks are much wilder than previous releases, therefore they fit in perfectly with Nerve Collect.

'Hand Full of Fluff' kicks off with a playful rhythm and churning bass that is brought to life with prickly percussion. Shards of melody and scattered hits are fired like ray guns across the track. The EP title track is an impossibly kinetic rhythm with fizzing textures and thudding kick patterns that sound like techno made purely by malfunctioning AI. That same sense of futurism pervades ‘A Jerboa's Escape' which has tightly coiled and broken-up drum patterns looping below eerie, unsettling pads that glow brightly in the percussive chaos. 'Corn Has Ears' is another physical club rhythm made from millions of tiny fragments that all coalesce around a harrowing bassline and 'Slug No Escargot' brings dystopian raps to static-laced bass and harder drum patterns. Last of all is the bouncy and buoyant 'Optimistic' with its post-trap vocals and thrilling club rhythms.

First to remix is New York innovator Ma Sha. She flips 'Slug No Escargot' into a percussive workout with writhing bass and cyborg vocal shards that soundtrack an intergalactic meltdown. Next comes London-based Italian TSVI. His take on 'Optimistic Fly' is big, elastic techno with decaying synth leads and zippy pads pulling you in several directions at once.

Teqmun's Worms Still Have To Eat The Dirt EP manages to sound completely out of this world while also connecting on a deeply emotional level.

A polymathic affair spanning the broadest musical bandwidth, French outlet Lowlife Cartel resurface with ‘Vuota Beatitudine’ - a fresh 8-track VA extrapolating their eclectic approach to contagious effect. 

Draped in surreally murky cover art courtesy of Paris-based artist Léa Bouton alias Absolemabsoluxe / graphic design by Metaphore Collectif affiliate Nicolas Guillerminet, this new release features contributors from distinct mental and geographical regions alike: French-American chopped-and-screwed shock outfit HERNVNDEZ ft. MXSTVH, a hi-tech DnB / raging electro crossover from Mexican producer Jegsaha, BFDM & Tresor alum Jean Redondo on duty, junglistic jazz stunts by Chicago’s KSETDEX, German ambient voodooist Lorica, spectral post-indus from PRESENTE, Italian vibist Alec Pace up with a ragga-informed vengeance and Memphis-via-Mexico style slowed-’n-throwed madness from MVRKMVCHINX. 

Lovers of Southern lo-fi rap narratives will find in both HERNVNDEZ ft. MXSTVH 'Artes Oscuras' and MVRKMVCHINX ‘Shutter' the kind of lo-slung gangsta heat to wake up both grillz-teethed zombies and have these gold-felloed Cadillacs’ afterburners flaring. Hailing from the Mexican capital city, Jegsaha fires off a barrage of breaks-laden fire, processed vox menace and frantic bass onslaughts that go straight for the jugular. Fragmenting the groove down to molecular abstraction, Redondo treats us to a mischievous hybrid of ghetto-tech’y jack and discombobulated post-pop experiment with ‘You!’, whereas US producer KSETDEX welds a smokey jazz piano onto a muscular UK bass chassis on the addictive ‘Gemini’. 

Flip it over and there’s Frankfurt-based producer Lorica dishing out a hypnotic slice of atmospheric electronics, both immersively brooding and unimpeachably uplifting in equal measure. ‘Vuota Beatitudine’, the track that gives its title to the EP, works a distinctively paradoxical strain of rattling floor rhythms and zero-G escapology, in limbo betwixt heaven and hell. Conjuring up an infectious palette of ragga-infused maneuvers and packing massive bass and snare-heavy punch, Alec Pace’s fiery ‘Mantra Separation’ is prototypical dancehall arson rolled into a steely techno membrane. A wide-ranging display of explosively diverse, satisfyingly weird sounds to keep minds and bodies on the edge.
