Located at just a fraction of the European Route E25, called the Rijksweg 20 or A20. This motorway is supported by several overpasses through The Netherlands, of which one of them in the Rotterdam-The Hague metropolitan area forms the base of this piece.

While the fast pace of humanity is causing hot asphalt and infrasound to move through the concrete, underneath the overpass a slower pace is causing more innocent reflections. Captured impulse responses from these reflections create a somewhat terrifying and slowly building-up reverb scape. Dynamic impacts from the A20’s bouncing surface, caused by the passing vehicles, result in irregular rhythmic echo’s to scatter beneath the construction.

All these never-ending sound waves are occasionally dominated by several other sound sources. Car horns translate the human’s frustration from within, while they try to balance it out with amplified FM frequencies. However, this more pleasing part of the electromagnetic spectrum gets interfered often with higher frequencies from passing metros and trains. These signals being pitched-down, form the cold and resonant chords through the piece. 

The massive amounts of weight rolling over the railway next to the overpass,  result in ground-shaking infrasound all over the area. Rumbling frequencies vibrate schematically through the concrete pillars. Moments later, fireworks suddenly feed the already existing sonic-tangle, followed by emergency signals that appear no less distinctive without its optical parts.

The Phonica series drifts Amsterdam way for the next addition in its series with not one but two of the cities most prominent artists. Kamma & Masalo supply separately in their sets nothing but magical moments so when you have the chance to see them play together it is that times two and some. Never knowing what the direction and vibe their set will go - having roots in eclectic and disco vibes as well clubbier house, techno and acid sounds (a vibe they cement firmly at their Brighter Days party in Amsterdam) - they have firmly placed themselves on top shelf list of some of Europes finest selectors.  Appearing regularly at festivals like Dekmantel and Japan's Rainbow Disco Club to name a few, the duo have played some of the best clubs around the world. For Phonica 131 Kamma and Masalo have the dancefloor in mind with a mix focused on their beginnings in the underground club scene of their upbringing. We had a quick chat with them about the mix and what they have coming up!

A1. On The Run
A2. Life Goes On
B1. Stretchy Material
B2. Into It

[Description via Boomkat product review]:
Full-bore, dub wise and hard grooving techno welters by DC-based Jackson Ryland in JR2K mode for Cape St. Francis, chasing their drops by 2Lanes, Jezz marquis and Mills Boogie

One for peak time, ’The Express Lane’ fires four of Ryland’s most direct club bullets. ‘On The Run’ gets into gear with a proper Rob Hood-style body rattler, all flying 909 hi-hats and chattering dub chords, next to the lithe canter and pulse-quickening arps of ‘Life Goes On’. His command of classic US techno pressure is in full effect on a brisk and whipsmart ‘Stretchy Material’ comparable to Joey Beltram steamers, and the vinyl-only ‘Into It’ gives the hard groove tribe some filtered finesse for hot-knobbing action.

JR2k - The Express Lane 12" [Rush Hour / Cape St. Francis 005]

The first half of RA.996 is Ron Trent's take on luxurious house.

As part of our countdown to RA.1000, a milestone in the 24-year history of RA's weekly mix series, we're switching up the usual format. The next few editions will pair two acts who complement each other's strengths, offering a fresh take on a particular community, scene or style. 

This week, we're zeroing in on Ron Trent and Ash Lauryn, two names who fly the flag high for old-school US house—a foundational pillar of the electronic underground. 

Trent takes the A-side. Hailing from Chicago, the birthplace of house, the pioneer is a master of finding the sweet spot where machine music meets organic instrumentation.  Listen to any DJ set or record in his extensive back catalogue and you'll find a wealth of exquisitely expressive melodies and deep, spiritual frequencies, making him the ideal narrator for any survey on house. (If you've only got a moment, sink into "Morning Factory," nine minutes of perfection.) 

Trent's return to the RA Podcast, 19 years after his debut in 2006, represents his many decades of expertise in fusing funk with gorgeous musicianship under the umbrella of heart-stirring house. Some may call it a masterclass but to us, it's just Trent doing what he does best.

Listened to as a whole, RA.996 is a powerful snapshot of house's elegance, class and most importantly, understated yet innately euphoric joy.

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

Sem Zeeman is a field recordist and sound artist focused to capturing both the auditory beauty and the pollution of our environment. His work uncovers the harmonies and dissonances from everyday life. In a world where vision dominates sensory perception, he challenges listeners to rediscover this richness of the sounds that surround us all. 

Inspired by nature, history and materials, each of his sound pieces serves as a unique snapshot of a specific place and moment in time. His sonic landscapes transcend the limits of human perception by capturing hidden sounds — such as infrasound, ultrasonic frequencies, and electromagnetic signals.

Sem’s work embodies both an aesthetic and a societal dimension. His compositions invite reflection and raise awareness of contemporary ecological, technological and social issues. By using environmental sound as a universal language, he seeks to restore the connection between humans and their surroundings.

ABOUT ME
I am a Dutch illustrator and animator. I always strive for a simple image, with a clear message, without noise. I'm also an avid field recordist.

ABOUT THIS PAGE
This SoundCloud page contains my field recordings. An old hobby that grew big over the last years and gives me great pleasure. A lot of these recordings end up being used in my music and live performances one way or another. Follow the Einzelganger-link below to go to my musical project.

BINAURAL
Some of the recordings are 'binaural', meaning that the method of capture recreates an accurate stereo image of the environment when listened to using headphones. To enjoy this effect, listen to those marked 'Binaural fieldrecording' using headphones!

<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binaural_recording">Here's more on binaural recording</a>.

<b>GEAR</b>
I use a Zoom H2, Zoom H2n and Zoom 4Hn recorder. Sometimes with additional Sound Professionals SP-TFB-2 binaural microphones.

<b>MUSIC</b>
Some recordings end up being used in my music. You can hear examples of that on the pages of http://soundcloud.com/einzelganger and http://soundcloud.com/mouchesvolantes
