Artist: https://soundcloud.com/cyberlife-music
Track: Galactic Stabs Brotherhood Dub
Label: https://soundcloud.com/syrinx_music
Format: 12" Vinyl, Digital, VA
Release date: 09/03/22

A year and a half after its first release, Pilote, Syrinx Music is back with another V/A release, Ballast. Meanwhile, Syrinx set various events up in the Paris area, and took great care of this new EP. Just as the device it takes its name from, Ballast aims to find a balance in contrast, in line with Syrinx’s aesthetics: an open vision of electronic music, linking both club & experimental dimensions.
On Ballast, this contrast goes with the idea of duality. The A Side of the vinyl (pressed as a dubplate in a very limited edition) gathers three artists of the most adventurous side of the French bass scene. Cyberlife kicks things up with an atmospheric and aerial breakbeat track.

PREMIERE | Cyberlife - Galactic Stabs Brotherhood Dub [Syrinx] 2022

We're honoured to release the debut EP from Hidden Rung - a new solo project by the wandering wizard, Matthew Linares @specklesound

Matthew's no stranger to Good Morning though, as a member of Pataphysical with whom we released their highly acclaimed album 'Hapticality' last year. 

People yearn to break the stasis of existence; "Happier" is a pensive mood board of attempts to go beyond. Melding dubby electronics, melodious incantation, plaintive calls, and inquiring dialogue, 'Hidden Rung' charts uncanny paths toward another self.

Craftfully Mastered by Krikor Kouchian, Hidden Rung's "Happier" is available to purchase digitally here: https://speckle.bandcamp.com/album/happier-e-p

The Iueke Show - 20 Juillet 2022

Opfern is the result of hours of music sent to us in the winter of 2021 by Calum Mcleod, mainly known for his work as one half of the techno duo Clouds, but presenting here his first solo work as Power Inc. Released as a double cassette & digital album, Opfern explores amorphous drift over nine long-form tracks that evolve & devolve in a slow state of flux, with sound sources and samples smudged to the point of degradation and abstraction, revealing a compelling and affecting mix of digital artefacts, psychoacoustics, plaintive melodies & fizzing soundscapes. 

W&P by Calum Macleod - Artwork by Al White & Calum Macleod

This preview comprises of the following tracks covering Tape 1, Side B:

03. LWK
04. Zischensynthese
05. …in the sky Zentraleuropa

Underground hero Bill Converse returns to Dark Entries with Take Parts, perhaps his most muscular and floor-focused work to date. Converse has honed his analog craft since the early days of the Midwest rave scene, absorbing lessons from luminaries like Claude Young and Traxx. His skill as a producer has been established with releases on labels such as Dark Entries, Fit Sound, and Obsolete Futures, and his prowess as a DJ has been witnessed on floors the world over. 
On Take Parts, Converse peels away the layers of acidic gauze that have characterized much of his work, revealing his sharp grasp of dancefloor dynamics and DJ functionality. While the 808’s, 909’s, and 303’s are on full display, Converse does not indulge in retro-fetishism; he channels the future forward impulse of the originary rave ethos. Tracks like “Stroke” and “What You Have” pit seasick chords and analog squelch atop funky but unsettling loops. The flurry of 808 snares on “Measurement (Of What?)” nods towards both footwork and jungle, but feels ultimately planted in a world of Converse’s own. With the acid-electro masterpiece “Take Apart”, Converse implores us to both join him in this new world and reconfigure the one we’re living in now. The 6-tracks on Take Parts present a new focus for Converse, and will excite DJ’s and thrill dancers
