“Paris-based Franco-British percussionist and sound artist Sébastien Forrester returns with his first solo release in almost two years for French powerhouse Promesses: a 5-track EP called ‘Turmoil’ that, more than ever in his career, brings to life the crossroads of experimental club mutations, leftfield drumming and ritual music, with a huge emphasis on trance-inducing rhythmic structures.

‘Turmoil’ is eminently stormy and insurgent, saturated by wild emotions, deeply rooted in a period of mistrust, anxiety and relentless hunt for hope. It also embodies a more collective and playful approach to composing with the club in mind, as collaborating with friends (Ehua, Citizen Boy and 3Phaz here) had somehow become a way of keeping up with the dancefloor throughout the successive lockdowns: Forrester’s approach to rhythm and sound design then meets Ehua’s wide oceans of bass and eerie textures, Citizen Boy’s fiery original gqom sound and 3Phaz’s hybrid post-Chaabi hard drum variations.

Rudely tumultuous pipes, both organic and artificially recreated using FM synthesis, span across the whole EP - most of them draw from the cabrette, a 19th century type of bagpipe originating from Auvergne. As Sébastien Forrester recently found out, the bagpipe somehow embodies a bridge between his French Occitan roots and the British side of his family: it has since then been a fascinating object of research. Most percussion elements were first recorded using a singular drum kit made of bells, custom cymbals, prepared bongos and tambours, created by his friend Léo Liégeois, then digitally processed through various digital patches. The raw, live feel of some of the drums, very present throughout the record, is a nod at Forrester’s background as a jazz drummer.

Formerly known as Holy Strays (acclaimed by the likes of Pitchfork, the Fader, Fact Magazine, Dazed, etc), Sébastien Forrester has always had a recurring obsession for sacred music and idiosyncratic sounds - his very first encounter with music and percussion as a kid was the Bwiti ritual drums, while he was living in Gabon and central Africa with his family in the late 1990s. The drummer and producer started releasing music early on, at the age of 19, and has put out records on international labels such as Not Not Fun and Hands in the Dark. Over the last years, he has also remixed Rejjie Snow, SUUNS and Forest Swords, and shared stages with acts as diverse as SBTRKT, The Soft Moon and Zola Jesus, all across Europe. His latest pieces of work explore his relationship to trance, pipes and percussive instruments. Recent collaborations include Brodinski, Lafawndah, Slikback, Coby Sey, as well as Toulouse-based experimental dancer and choreographer Pierre Rigal.”

@design-default - Quartz Silica EP
Format: Digital
Release: December 2nd, 2022
Artwork by Benfika

Marking the 100th record of the imprint’s prolific history, Infinite Machine are proud to present the release of Quartz Silica EP by new-comer Design Default. A self-described ‘tone scientist’, the Parisian delivers a 5-track of uniquely textural compositions which map out a sonic world influenced by dystopian anime titles like Trigun & Neon Genesis Evangelion. Like many on the IM discography, Quartz Silica acts almost like a simulation or audio-film representation of an abstract space you’re invited to traverse.

The EP opens with ‘Between Wasteland and Sky’; percussive assault on your senses which clearly exemplifies Design Default’s meticulous approach to sound design. Every detail, every sample and every automation is carefully considered to add to the heightened affective theatrics heard here.

‘A.S.K’ follows things up on this release, a highly inventive composition with a loose structure that evolves from phrase-to-phrase, refusing to sit still. Design Default’s interest in jazz and free-form arrangements is married up with an angular sonic palette of industrial groans and splutters; generating the impression of hearing a glitch (or hiccup, even) in the machine. There’s something refreshingly playful about the maximalistic breakdown of ‘A.S.K’ akin to the wry smile found in some of AYA and her YCO label’s output.

After two highly frenetic tracks, Design Default turns the tempo down slightly with the groove-laden ‘S.E.E.D.S’. Layers of rich, fuzzy synapses phase in and out of prominence over a bed of complex drum programming. The producer deploys negative space here to great effect, with the absence of a drum hit or sample where you might expect one adding to the hypnotic rhythmic swing of ‘S.E.E.D.S’.

Rounding out the originals of Quartz Silica EP, ‘SILEX’ is a club-ready construction with a paint-shaking bassline which seems to slip downwards in pitch as if it can’t get steady footing. Again, Design Default’s tone science/alchemy shines through clearly here, with stutters of melodies, bursts of white noise and stacked drum patterns managing to sit cohesively in this dynamic expanse.

Fellow Parisian De Grandi jumps on remix duties for ‘S.E.E.D.S’ to finish off the EP. The Paradoxe Club signee adds further syncopation and strips the original’s elements down to its fundamental core. The results are a spectral creeper of a tune - built almost intentionally with dark, low ceiling environments in mind.

In Japanese Buddhism, it's believed that when someone dies they are ushered down one of six paths depending on the karma accumulated during their previous lives. A being might end up in the world of humans, animals, demigods, or celestials, but it's also possible to end up reborn as a pitiable hungry ghost, doomed to an existence of insatiable desire, or even worse - be sent to hell, or jigoku. Ruled over by the Japanese lord of death Emma-ō, this hell isn't quite like the Christian hell, it's closer to purgatory, and cleansing the karma can take hundreds of millions of years of excruciating torture in extreme cold or immense fire. Japanese bass alchemist Gorgonn takes these themes as the basis of his debut album "Six Paths", assembling a spiritually weighty set of futurist dubs that consider the possibility that our mortal domain might be closer to hell than we realize.

Gorgonn describes himself as a Japalien exile. He left the country of his birth almost two decades ago, and since then has been working tirelessly to formulate Jamaican dub, noise, techno, and no-wave into a sound he calls "sci-fi steppas". If you've not come across his name before, there's a good chance you've heard his reverberations. An established sound tech who's worked with The Bug, Hype Williams, Seefeel and others, he's part of G36 with Kevin Martin, Dokkebi Q with Kiki Hitomi, and a former member of Devilman with DJ Scotch Egg and Bo Ningen's Taigen Kawabe. Just last year he released the acclaimed "Disentegration Dubs" full-length alongside JK Flesh, the veteran producer who's best known for masterminding Godflesh. All this experience blesses Gorgonn's productions with remarkable sonic force, and "Six Paths" is his most crushing display yet, smelting cannonball bass and osmium beats into sharp-edged soundsystem weapons.

Look no further than opener 'Abyss' for evidence of this: psychedelic synths draw the mind away from the mortal realm, while tangled, distorted beats push us back down to earth, our faces crushed into the grit and gravel. Using tweaked sub bass and unsettling drones, Gorgonn lays out a cinematic backdrop for the album, drawing us into a world that's terrifying, viscous, and nauseatingly familiar. There's a militaristic roll to 'Without Beginning and End', a track that juxtaposes spacey halfstep thrusts with death metal distortion, footwork polyrhythms, and unearthly pads that addresses the crushing endlessness of jigoku. On 'Invisible' meanwhile, Gorgonn torches the skeletal remains of D&B, abstracting familiar rhythmic patterns into fuzzy, ritualistic cycles that sound both ancient and humming with prospective technology. But on the closing track 'Life as a Beast', it sounds as if Gorgonn has come to a conclusion, and in a flurry of acid squelches and doomy foghorn bass blasts, he seems to have accepted that being reincarnated as an animal might be the best anyone can hope for. Who knows, you might end up as a cat.

Welcoming another addition to the ever-growing NHS roster, we introduce the sounds of Matteo Coffetti with an erratic audio collage of sonic madness that toys with the fringes of Latin rhythm patterns and proto-fairy-tale sound palettes into a coagulation of ultra-syncopated bass music.

'Delphinine Capriole' takes form as a significant progression from much of Matteo's previous works through the increased broken sense of flow that can be found on this NHS debut. A seriously vast and intricate universe of sonic motifs and quarks can be found across each track, keeping each piece tightly woven into the last. A garbled sense of playfulness is offset by the fever dream presence that the release conveys so terrifyingly well. Matteo's sound feels like a deconstructed version of a previously existing genre of music from a distant world.

The third entry into our Crux singles series comes from Circular Square, currently one of Brussel’s secret gems, but clearly on the verge of blowing up. Circular Square’s seemingly natural skill at crafting exciting interzones of bass-heavy club acrobatics and melodic realms, prime his productions for both adventurous dancefloors and deeper home immersion.

As the central piece, 3-HT-(xon) finds an equilibrium between its surgical drum stitches, swaths of glassy chimes and rapturous flutes. That balance tips a bit as lush, almost pastoral elements come to the fore half-way through, before the drums regain their ground.

Swiveling hi-hats surround a mighty, prowling bass on GBS_02x, an expertly crafted minimalist and stealthy pouncer, that successfully wrings every last drop of momentum out of its carefully selected components. As an addition, Leese’s snakey flip reconstructs its stagger into a rolling parade of tribal percussion, intermittent vocal stabs and cavernous drop-outs, mastering the fine art of remixing that is true to the original, while still bearing the unmistakable handwriting of the remixer.

Delighted to launch our "premiere" series with Lyon-based @xliks, who is featured on the brand new record label Music for commercials (@user-16359218), dedicated to environmental preservation. All the label's profits are donated to associations for the protection of the environment and anti-advertising actions.
Music for commercials promotes diverse and open aesthetics, from noise, to IDM (Idiocratic Dance music)and destructured pop.

From an ecological point of view, the Lyon-based label's releases take place on floppy disks (these floppy disks are second hand). The race for innovation can make us lose the sense of our priority. They prefer
to use obsolete material to make useful and usable work of art. Nothing is obsolete as long as it is still usable.
