Environment calls, field recording answers.

When we received the news of this project dedicated to the preservation of the oceans, we could not help but respond with something special.

About two weeks ago an e-mail from TubeBuddy appeared in our inbox with a video message from two very famous Youtubers: Mr Beast and Mark Rober.

Maybe some of you remember the #teamtrees project.... well, as of 22:00 today the #teamseas initiative has started.

The goal of this new project is to raise $30M by January 1, 2022 to remove 30M tons of plastic from the oceans, beaches and rivers. 

We are very happy to tell you that we decided to participate as well with a very special content dedicated to the sound of the Adriatic sea.

We spent the afternoons of the last two weeks finding the right moment to record the waves of the sea, the vibrations caused by their movement under the sand and, what was happening under their surface. 

From these recordings was born "Call from a Forgotten Sea", an EP dedicated to one of the fundamental resources of our planet, which every day offers food and oxygen to humanity.

We believe that this initiative can make a difference and if you want to contribute you can find all the information on www.teamseas.org.

You can participate not only through donations but also by going to create content on this topic, allowing us to reach the final goal.

"Alone we are a drop, together an ocean."

Take action and be part of TeamSeas.

EMC is honored to introduce Joachim Spieth!

Joachim is a German DJ, music producer, and label owner who emerged musically in the late nineties and has since developed a multi-faceted spectrum of sound between the poles of ambient and spherical techno. Characteristic of his work is the attention to detail and a sensitive sensorium for the creation of atmospheres, which one can hardly escape, no matter if this takes place in his studio work or his performances.

After several years of intensive collaboration with @wolfgang_voigt’ s @kompakt imprint, he founded his label, @affin, in 2007, which has been constantly developing ever since and has made a name for itself internationally. As a prolific producer, Joachim has released several albums in the past years such as Irradiance, Tides, Ousia, Terrain, and  Reshape project, which features variations of his music tracks by @alvanoto, ASC, @bvdub_music and others. Together with @markusguentner, Joachim recently started a collaborative project, releasing the Overlay album followed by Overlay Variations in which the two artists use the elements taken from Overlay to to create completely new pieces of music.

Enjoy!

EMC is excited to introduce the last Shapes episode of 2023! Welcome to Kali!

As a selector, Kali ’s musical style fluctuates around trance infused house, high-speed techno stirred up with breaks and electro. Having started her journey as a dj at queer parties in 2013, Kali soon gained experience in organizing events, always striving to create a safe space for LGBTQI+ people in Budapest. Her mission has always been to reinforce the representation of queer people and womxn in the electronic music scene. She was part of the technosexual party collective of @omohbp. Since 2019 she’s an active member of @persephoneparty a queer feminist collaboration dedicated to showcase FLINTA artists. In the past years Kali had the chance to show her fast-forward style to the audience abroad by playing at the Lecken-OMOH-Persephone after party in Kake, Berlin, heating up the dancefloor before @jakojako_live in Munich’s @harrykleinclub, returning to Zürich’s FLINTA parties organized by GLITBAQ, and bringing her positive energy to Innsbruck’s @arche-ahoi club.

Echoes From Two Worlds 

Since I started with field recordings, I’ve been fascinated by the contrast between two completely different soundscapes: natural and human-generated ones.

At the beginning of the process, I was pretty sure to record and use only natural sounds, because, you know, for me, it’s a kind of ritual when I need to be detached from the day-to-day life. I want to be completely immersed in a natural environment to understand which type of sound I could use during the production process with the field recordings I’m capturing.

This time, something different clicked in.

I was walking in the city centre of my hometown just doing some basic commissions. At a certain point 3 “sound scenes” captured my attention: a busker, some church bells and a guy selling fruits in a market.

From normal sound perceptions, you usually don’t pay attention to this kind of day-to-day situation, but here, something was, I don’t know, connected.

Everything was perfectly aligned and in tune. I found these 3 sounds similar to what I usually listen to in a wood: birds singing, the wind hitting the trees and rain. 

I don’t know why, but something clicked and I had to record everything and build artificial sounds around this kind of soundscapes. 

"Echoes from two worlds” is conceived within a concept around the sound of nature and human-generated sounds and how they can sometimes be completely different and in contrast with each other, but at the same time have a recurrent pattern that cannot be ignored. 

The idea within this album is to maintain the organic sounds of field recordings with a digital touch using pads and other harmonic sounds.

It seeks to access a deeper sonic dimension where the listener can immerse in a different perception of what we usually hear and try to focus our listening on the dialogue between us and the soundscapes that surround us. 

In this first work we also wanted to include a 3rd vision on these tracks and we’re thankful to have 3 remixes of three great artists and friends that joined this sonic experience with us. 

A special thanks to MARMO (Christian & Marco), Avsluta (Lucie) and Adrian Newgent for their reworks.

A new year, a new chapter for EMC! We start 2024 with a new graphic design and with our first guest for the Atmospheres playlist! Welcome to Lateral Movement!

Originally from Portugal, Ricardo aka Lateral Movement moved to the UK in the nineties for studying. Diving right into the local music culture, effervescent as ever, he meandered effortlessly through genres, taking him deeper into the arts whilst aiding his curiosity, from free jazz to indietronica. Returning to Portugal, Ricardo became a strong supporter of the alternative scenes, embarking on a different kind of journey and took upon himself the responsibility of discovering new music and sharing it with the community. To this day deep techno and its many guises are his passion, especially the deeper and hypnotic realms, where ambience and atmosphere play the main role.

Enjoy!

EMC is honored to welcome Primal Code!

Davide Perrone (@pianetisintetici) and Gabriele Giuggioli jumped straight into the deep techno scene with their appearance on @hypnus Record. Since then, they've rapidly established themselves through a series of sold-out records on labels such as @kalaharioystercult, @thegodsplanet, and @konstrukt-5. By lacing their unique fusion of modern electronic music with field recordings from their travels, dreams of ancient mysteries start to vibrate in the air. To them, music is the primordial code that unlocks the doors inside of us, which leading into the realms of our imagination.

“The true joy of a moonlit night is something we no longer understand. Only the men of old, when there were no lights, could understand the true joy of a moonlit night. ”
