Recording of Lynne's set at les Chaos Ambiants 2024
Mastering by Ryosuke Tsuchiya

Lynne is a Japanese artist who explores the outer realms of techno, experimental, and drum 'n'bass. First emerging in 2013 as part of Tokyo's underground scene, Lynne established herself quickly, winning the Samurai Music Mix competition and playing regularly at respected Tokyo institutions. Over time her sound evolved from its DnB roots to include more textural, obscure and experimental layers as she became fascinated with building emotive atmospheres and twisting them to her rhythm. Now an Astral Industries and Unknown Species resident, Lynne resides between Tokyo and London. She is an artist who is most comfortable in the grey space between genres, where her rhythm is a gravitational force pulling dancers in all the right directions.

[Les Chaos Ambiants]

The Pauza association presents Les Chaos Ambiants, a festival dedicated to the encounter between electronic music, the visual arts and the rich heritage of Burgundy-Franche-Comté.

This event is designed on a small scale to make it as comfortable as possible to listen, meet and move around, with a single stage to promote emerging and established artists, a natural setting conducive to the discovery of musical works and artistic installations, and an eco-responsible approach to limit its environmental impact.

The project has several objectives : to promote the European and international artistic scene, to stimulate and strengthen the cultural and creative network across the département and the region ; to help promote and showcase the natural and cultural heritage of Burgundy-Franche-Comté ; to support local produce and the local economy.

Placid aka Paul Wise is the chief operating officer at ‘We’re Going Deep’ – an online community and record label, born out of a lifelong love affair with the many shades of electronic rhythm and an obsession for collecting records since 1988. With a mission to share and release new music via his We’re Going Deep and We’re Going Back imprints: you’ll find only the best in Acid, Electro, IDM, Techno and Deep House for the dance floor and your listening pleasure.

Kicking off 2025, the next WGD release welcomes the sounds of self confessed stateside Techno poser Troy Anderson to the imprint. A core part of the much treasured Down Low crew from Texas, he has previously released some mightily excellent records as Cityboy and Waverider way back when, both of which were recently re-issued on We're Going Back. As DFD, Anderson first appeared on Down Low Music compilation 'Satellite Cities' back in 2001. However, it took until 2024 for his first full EP to materialize. A somehow wonderful glitch in time, DFD productions fit easily into the early 00s canon of purist machine made magic, harboring a timeless resonance that emanates equally from a future dimension. Bringing an all important touch of human feeling to his work that is as essential as it’s comes.

Offering up 3 original cuts alongside a top shelf rework from ERP (aka Convextion), the A Side kickstarts with an all encompassing, yet subtly acid inflected Electro jam. As gently sweeping rhythms breeze into your consciousness, a deftly programmed 303 creeps underneath a bubbling lead that takes center stage. Wave after wave of chorded atmosphere builds as the track takes shape, it bursts further into life as glorious high notes add another simmering layer to the mix. A wild yet sumptuous ride, this is craftmanship of the highest order. Accompanied with a remix from the original Texan space cruiser ‘ERP’, the remix injects a touch more pace to the original and drifts fully into realms of photonic fields, drenched in cavernous reverb and outerworldly effects.

On the flip side, B1 ‘Evening At Kokopelli’ orbits back towards earthly plains as Anderson veers into swirling melodics and lushly stringed elements, all powered by a solid 909 rhythm structure and bubbling acid line. A display of playful prowess that is as hypnotising, as it is enchanting. The soundscape is invitingly warm and shifts your optic over to a whole new dimension. Ending out on the pacey 2 step beat of ‘Metallic Dreams’, Anderson opts for a sparser approach as splashes and layers of filtered pads take their course, as melodic elements rise above powerful FM bass tones and fill the void with perfect measure. On this evidence, the music has most definitely been worth the wait and on this form – DFD is a name to keep sight of in the years ahead.

Two years on from the seductive disco deviance of his previous full length, Mystic Jungle returns to his home base Periodic Records with a two track 12” single titled “Words of Love.” Masculine and feminine vocals interplay amidst textures of dreamy dub delirium, their tones smooth, yearning and androgynous as they plead over and over... repeating “Say You Love Me” like some spell of desperate romantic magic. Splatters of tropical island percussion move through starbound synth hooks, and sparkles of stellar vapor sooth the soul as moonlit organ chords ride equatorial riddims and chunky funky FM-bass riffs while all around, saxophonics blow like a humid mediterranean breeze. And on the flip, the extended version gives plenty of space over to club-minded dubwise drum intros, freely floating vocal layers, and seriously sun-scorched guitar solos that send waves of fire ripping through the air. (Words by Braden Balentine / The Sun Lounge)

===================================================================

"On IPOP, Organic Analogue uncover a hidden gem of dubbed-out electronica and fried-circuit techno from deep in the late-00s Manchester underground.

Beppu is the work of Andrew Hargreaves, and IPOP gathers together three EPs he put out in 2009 in limited runs of 50 CDrs. At the time, CDrs were the format of choice for DIY electronic music. The lo-fi resurgence of tape was a way off, and CDs offered maximum fidelity at a minimum cost. Beppu is emblematic of that era and the nascent democratisation of music distribution, when technology meant you could do the entire process from creation to delivery yourself. Dubby, outsider electronica especially found a home amongst this network of independent operators, where similarly spirited artists like Pub and Remote_ capitalised on the format to put out their insular techno-not-techno.

You can practically run your fingers over the grainy textural influence of Moritz von Oswald and Mark Ernestus in the blown out pads and tones that shape out the space around Beppu, but Hargreaves was making something far less derivative than what we generally think of as 'dub techno'. You might find a tweaked acid line or warbling 101 adding a braindance tweak to 'Speed Tolerance' or catch a hint of Jan Jelinek's strung out micro-loop reveries on 'Consumption'. There are no straight-forward formulae being adhered to — the staunch independence of Beppu's circumstances rings true in the seductive sonic silt that swirls around these mixes. Comfortably ahead of the trendy distortion boom of the 2010s, Hargreaves elicited an evocative kind of noise from his mixes that becomes an emotional layer within the music.

These are mixes which delight in pushing frequencies the 'wrong' way, respectfully guided to a final form by the careful hands of Hargreaves' long-time mate Miles Whittaker of Demdike Stare on mastering duties. Alongside his work on the mastering, Whittaker and Sean Canty took to Hargreaves' source material to create two Demdike versions that round out the album's fourth side with their much-celebrated verve and leftfield swagger.

Scuffed and soulful, wrenched from unknown zones and rooted in the craft, IPOP is everything OA lives and breathes. In line with past archival digs with DJ Guy and Jean-Louis Huhta, we're proud to help shine a light on the lesser-known talent of Beppu and give these incredible sonics the pressing they deserve"
