Electronic Convergence: Verdant Session 001

It is a genuine thrill to be part of the Electronic Convergence team (formerly Timeline Music) and once again assembling a live Verdant Session which is now in its eighth year.   This set submerges down into my favourite deep, bendy and atmospheric techno landscapes whilst spanning 30years of techno from early Aphex Twin,  Resistance D & Schizophrenia through to the latest Sungate (with Taupe) and We're Going Deep (with Remote) releases that landed with me this week.    Check out the full AV replay on YT for the video version for Saven's beautiful work.  Made with love, records & smattering of digis

Electronic Convergence:  Verdant Session 001

@o-utlier 

The mountains were snow capped and stark in comparison to the radiant blue sky against they were perched. The sheer scale of their presence was magnificent and terrifying at the same time. It was enough to make you feel very, very small...

Overhead there were chemtrails, pale flakey white lines in the sky. However, there was not a plane to be seen.

As he strolled across the mountain tops, taking in the ever changing view, he began to wonder what it might be like to live out here in the middle of nowhere. For there was nothing but the pale blue, the thick white and a sense of beautiful, delicate isolation.

o.utlier is set to release a new album called 'Alaya', an excellent assortment of thoughtful Electronic music for reflective moments and finding clarity. This is atmospheric music at its very best.

Rituals

After some time we are very excited to announce our new EP by French pals @atomic-moog. With amazing releases on @lowless-music, @monument-podcast & @delsinrecords we are huge fans of their music and their approach to production and feel they are a strong fit for what Appian is all about : ) On show here are warm, heavily textured cerebral journeys densely packed with analogue atmosphere and feeling, with Dub at its core. We think they have created something very special indeed.

Timeless cuts to suit all intimate dance floors.

12" Release. Artwork By Philip Mitton.

Residual Glow

Roll up Roll up!  We have a seriously tasty package for APPIAN019 and have gone back to a Various Artist format for this one. 

Here we share 4 sets of artists that have been on our radar for some time - some new joiners to Appian and some old friends : ) We think each track stands out from their past discographies and offers something special. 

Timeless cuts to suit intimate dancefloors.

Hope you enjoy : )

Ransom Note is an online music, arts and culture magazine. We provide a home for readers and writers with boundless enthusiasm, esoteric knowledge, fierce opinions and impeccable taste.

With our core team immersed in all aspects of dance music, we publish news, articles, and interviews covering the greatest in innovative, underground culture from across the globe. We offer regular, exclusive music and mixtapes from our favourite artists, and publish features shining a light on everything from the freshest new artists to the untold tales from rave history.

Alongside this we offer musings on film, books, life, and art, generating some context and controversy as an antidote to the reheated PR that clogs up the internet. Our office is fuelled by Tunnock’s Bars, cat memes, hangovers and a ridiculous, never ending love for our culture.

We're always interested in getting new writers on board – feel free to get in touch if you’ve got a story to tell.

With love until the grave.
