Industrial Techno Mix  Nov. 02. 2020

Archaic Print estrenó el pasado año su catálogo con una primera entrega en la cual el sello ya desveló parte de sus intereses artísticos con una apuesta por las diversas interpretaciones que pueda tener un género tan holgado como es el techno, y siempre, dentro de un contexto en el que premia ante todo la coherencia y la originalidad. 

Esta libertad para ejecutar y desarrollar diferentes escenarios, y que a la  vez puedan convivir y armonizar, se une a la prioridad que la  plataforma otorga al formato físico, al disco vinilo.

Mike Humphries toma el relevo a Stanislav Tolkachev, a The Transhumans y a Dan Böhler, artífices de la primera referencia de Archaic Print. No obstante, a diferencia de este primer lanzamiento, Humphries es el único autor de las cuatro pistas de este EP y por lo tanto, a él le debemos la  pluralidad musical de esta segunda entrega.

Con In Between Reality, Mike Humphries da una gran ejemplo de bagaje y de la gran labor creativa que le ha acompañado durante estas 3 décadas.
Este disco exhibe una retrospección sonora que puede situar al
oyente en distintas ubicaciones y épocas. El espacio-tiempo se sitúa en cuatro puntos distintos.
9 Lives es el primer corte del EP y solo en los primero compases podemos anticipar un sonido memorable que evoca a la clandestinidad de las primeras raves europeas. Silver Shadows es una pista con patrones y propiedades que recuerdan mucho a la primeriza etapa de Mike Humphries como D-Kontrol, alias con el que operó durante los primeros añosde los 90 y que solía tener siempre un trasfondo ácido. Con Freefall intensifica el temperamento del acid, aunque su naturaleza nos ubica en un período más adelantado, más moderno, en el que este tipo de sonido tomaba otros matices diferentes. In Between Reality ya nos transporta a otra secuencia del espacio-tiempo más avanzada, con un estilo que fluctúa entre el techno, el minimalismo y la profundidad armónica. "

ENGLISH:
Archaic Print released its catalog last year with a first installment in which the label already revealed part of its artistic interests with a commitment to the various interpretations that a genre as loose as techno can have, and always, within a context in which it rewards coherence and originality above all else.
This freedom to execute and develop different scenarios, and that at the same time they can coexist and harmonize, joins the priority that the platform gives to the physical format, to the vinyl record.
Mike Humphries takes over from Stanislav Tolkachev, The Transhumans and Dan Böhler, creators of the first Archaic Print reference.

However, unlike this first release, Humphries is the sole author of the four tracks of this EP and therefore, we owe him the musical plurality of this second installment.
With In Between Reality, Mike Humphries gives a great example of baggage and the great creative work that has accompanied him during these 3 decades.
This album exhibits a sound retrospection that can place the
listener in different locations and times. Space-time is situated at four different points.

9 Lives is the first track on the EP and only in the first bars can we anticipate a memorable sound that evokes the secrecy of early European raves. Silver Shadows is a track with patterns and properties that are very reminiscent of Mike Humphries 'early days as D-Kontrol, an alias he traded with during the early' 90s and which used to always have an acid undertone. With Freefall he intensifies the temperament of acid, although its nature places us in a more advanced, more modern period, in which this type of sound took on other different nuances. In Between Reality already transports us to another more advanced space-time sequence, with a style that fluctuates between techno, minimalism and harmonic depth. "

I've been feeling really inspired by electro, breakbeat and EBM recently and created this set. It has the grungy vibe that helped me release stress and frustrations.
Slowing it down and playing between 125-128 BPM for a change, giving you new releases and some goldies. Enjoy!
