Split Wick

There were etchings in the board at the front of the room in which they sat. Perched upon old wooden chairs they were in the furthest classroom from the main corridor, waiting for an instructor who seemed as if he might not show up. Gazing out the window, down towards the people outside, he watched as they came and went from the old building. They were free for the day yet he was not. There wasn't much noise in the room but for the occasional chatter from a group at the back of the class, he didn't know what to expect from a lecture which had been rather whimsically described as 'a course in miracles'... 

Argy is back with a whole bunch of friends on a new EP for Renaissance Records. He's asked a collective of producers to remix material from his album 'The Interior Journey' and this time around the release features reworks from Rodriguez Jr, Loew and Magit Cacoon. The Rodriguez Jr. remix instantly caught our ear with it's progressive melodies and ethereal, dreamy soundscapes.

SKUIXO auxilia no confronto entre os humanos e APOKATRON, uma entidade colossal que devora galáxias e avança a partir do espaço profundo. Usando um arsenal de samples, ritmos hipnóticos e paisagens sonoras em F♯, a humanidade lança um ataque sonoro para desviar a criatura de sua rota em direção à Terra.​

SKUIXO descobre uma forma inédita de fazer o som se propagar no vácuo, canalizando ondas através de matéria e energia escura, transformando o próprio universo em um condutor de frequência. Cada batida, cada synth e cada textura etérea feminina se tornam projéteis vibracionais que cercam APOKATRON, empurrando-o de volta para o abismo do espaço profundo

All too aware that good things come in pairs, the Dutch duo 16BL (formally known as 16 Bit Lolitas) kick off their 2019 with their delectable double-cut ‘Vette / Leaving Home’. The Balearic-flavoured ‘Vette’ cleverly combines romantic string scores and tropical guitar strums with deep stuttered synths. Taking things deeper and darker, ‘Leaving Home’ sees 16BL bounce sporadic snares off of a swelling sub-bass, culminating in a club track awash with their signature organic sound.

@tomdemac is no stranger to us, with well-played releases on Hypercolour, Electronique Audio and Glasstable, we were happy to offer him a home with Kompakt in 2018 thanks to a collaboration with Real Lies titled “White Flowers”. Tom returns to Kompakt, this time solo with the 3 tracker “Serenade” .

The title track is delicately brought together by a fragile piano rhythm and poetic wisdom over the might of the kick drum. Tom says its best that “Despite it being a little generic adding spoken word talking about music over actual music, the poetic nature of the delivery and description of the effects and emotions that music can bring, really worked with the piano I had written for this song.”

“Seventh Sign” was initially intended an experiment in cello recordings through an effects pedal but ended up being track brimming with pure techno groove. Second Skin is the perfect finale embracing epic elements of broken beat and even IDM sensibilities with a gorgeously misguided horn leading the march.

On Serenade, Tom Demac shows he has what it takes to reconfigure the vitality of what emotive techno can be. A central force that has kept the beat of Kompakt’s heart in rhythm since day one.
