PREMIERE: Route 8 - It Keeps Flashing On Me [This Is Our Time]

READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-elise-seropram-forest-drive-west-remix

Seemingly named after an anti-depressant medication, @forest-drive-west remix of @el-se 'Seropram' is built around an eerily descending three-chord sequence that mimics the peculiar effects of the drug - as skittering hi-hats circle and subterranean frequencies envelop your ears, this anxiolytic piece of half-time experimentalism fogs your brain like a 40mg Zoloft.

First Listen: Art Crime - 'Silent Reaction' (Private Persons)

There was a strange flash which appeared in the mist up above as the night sky burnt a fragrant orange glow in the heat of the morning. It were as if some vast, sprawling supervoid had opened up to cause doom and disgrace to humanity which lived down below. A beast had awoken in the sky and there was a mysterious sense of warmth which hung with ominous presence in the air. This might be what hell felt like to those stuck beneath but whilst lost in this beautiful dream he was in heaven...

Lucy Cliché - Heady Duet

Out on Rotterdam's Electronic Emergencies, this dark experimental and downright nasty series of tracks are well worthy of your time but this remixed version of Vägskäl is so visceral and urgent that it should have a flashing light and siren on it's bonnet so that it can get to where it needs to and that everyone knows to get out of it's way. The fact that Grymt translates to both 'grim' and 'cool' give you some indication of where this track is on the PH Scale. 
Body Music at it's finest.

"Colour Of Ashes"

Whether they be sacred or symbolic, they are testimony to the strangeness of the rapport between Man and Time. As a precise ceremony or as gesture prescribed by the litterature of a particular culture, rituals are at the center of the human paradox of movement and stillness, resistance and surrender, life and death.

There was much to see and much to do beneath the covered streets, the tarpaulin which hung from atop the towering buildings cast a shadow down upon the densely packed close. This was Owino market and the price was right for whatever and whichever wonder you chose to buy upon that fine day. The air was close and the tiny alleyways packed with the hustle and bustle of people moving between market stalls - the heat was stale under the tightly packed coveralls and inside was all the trinkets and treats you might ever desire. 

Kawuku Sound is the collaborative project of two electronic producers Contours and Cervo who have worked alongside Ugandan percussion troupe Fonkodelis Arkestra. They have release a six track EP with a blend of influences.

Steady State - Love Light Knowledge

There was very little to be seen out here but for rocks and sand. The dust blew abruptly in great clouds across the open expanse under the dense breeze of the midsummer wind. It was hot and heavy, making the eyes sting and a clenched face a must. The glowing pink sky offered the slight promise of rain and a cool release at some point in the near future but for now it was up to them to ride out the mist in all the glory of the Eastern world. It was going to be a long afternoon...

Terr is an artist moving from strength to strength - following releases on the likes of Permanent Vacation she now appears on Clash Lion with a sprawling assortment of electronics.

PREMIERE: Terr - Dust (Terr Raw Electro Mix) [Clash Lion]

Romantic Fiction - the debut LP from Curses - is an honest musical expression drawing inﬂuences from his youth growing up in NYC in the 80s. References to new wave, post-punk, synth music and early EBM are skillfully merged with the DIY approach of punk and rock n roll angst. Brandishing an immersive sonic palette, all instruments throughout the album were played and recorded by the artist.
Exhausted by the current state of competitive dance music monotony, Romantic Fiction is a collection of songs, not DJ tools: songs that work at home, but also in the club should the right crowd beckon.
It’s about escapism and ﬁnding comfort in the unknown, fulﬁlling the empty void by embracing the mysterious. Darkness is a light undiscovered, not something to be frightened of.
Curses also invites friends who share a mutual love for incorporating post punk and new wave into contemporary electronic music. Perel delivers mighty Nina Hagen-esque operatic punk vocals on the ﬁrst single, 'Gold & Silber', whilst Dischi Autunno label boss Jennifer Cardini and Curses share a duet on the cold wave silk of 'Silence In The Dark'.
As an amalgamation of inﬂuences from multiple decades, Romantic Fiction is a deeply personal album, triggering a feeling that is unnerving at times, familiar and welcoming at others.

PREMIERE : Curses feat. Jennifer Cardini - Silence In The Dark

The people in the room began to dance, worries were left outside on the pavement and would not be collected until sometime tomorrow morning. All love within this desparate place was to be found amidst the room, what was external was to be forgotten and ignored for the time being. He had come here to dance with freedom and self preservation. This was his night upon the floor and the rest of society could give a damn how he moved to and fro with a swing in his step. 

Ryan Berkeley is set to release an inspired new EP on Houses In Motion in what will be the fifth outing on the record label. A strong release spanning a breadth of genres and style - this one is a treat.

PREMIERE: Ryan Berkeley - All Love [Houses In Motion]

The sunlight was piercing through the blind as he lay softly upon the cushioned floor. Inside the apartment it was still dark and shadowy after the carnage of the night before. Opwning his eyes he looked around to observe the scene which had unfolded. Toppled tables and chairs lay scattered upon the floor like discarded toys whilst music still echoed on from the speaker sat promptly in the corner of the room. He let out a sigh and smiled, this was home. 

ONIPA is set to release a new afro inspiredEP on Mawimbi Records and Wormfood Records. Mr. Boom is on remix duties for this one.

PREMIERE: ONIPA - Open My Eyes (Mr. Boom Remix) [Mawimbi & Wormfood Records]

The earth rotated slowly day by day, the moon would appear only to be swept away by the dense blue sky of the morning and the radiant light. The sun had more power than we might ever imagine - to some it was a god, to others simply an incomprehensible object millions of miles away beyond reach. Heaven forbid the day we might find ourself within the touching distance of the great orb for we might burn helplessly to death - a little planet wiped out by fire, one with which we should never have played. 

Night Noise are set to release a new EP by Mantas & Vencla complete with an intriguing rework by the infamous Pete Herbert. Not one to take half measures his cut is inspired and strong.

PREMIERE: Mantas & Vencla - Sun (Pete Herbert Remix)[Night Noise]

The siren roared from atop the lighthouse as the storm battered against the coast. It was a night of trouble in the bay and at this point it was hard to tell who or what might make it out alive. The wind howled with a wild roar as the rain crashed down from the blackened heavens up above. Boats tossed and turned in an attempt to wrestle with the dangerous waves and they could only hope that the weather might soon pass. This was unprecedented, a beating like no other. 

Autarkic is set to release a startling new EP on Hoga Nord Rekords, an imprint of which we are very fond. He delivers a trademark blow to the club with intriguing orchestration and melody.

PREMIERE: Autarkic - Troubles In The Bay [Höga Nord]
