B1: Dolly - Don't Forget The Moonscreen

New Hit from our friend Viikatory. Jamming Love is one of our favorites from her self released album Isolated Material. Happy to share it here with you for the first time. Check out the LP, out on the 24th of May, with a lot of more great tunes!

About the album:
Isolated Material is eleven meaningfully designed paths, like a spiral staircase, that whirl and excite emotions, and then abruptly change a whole range of moods.
Distorted and broken kick, classic 909 and 808 can closely intersect with vocoder voice, 4/4 break trance and house, space disco motifs, but at the same time, “The Song” crushes the aesthetics of experiment and something truly alive with absolute patterns that are born inside the machine 303.
All the material was collected and recorded at completely different times, so he talks about a huge field of all kinds of experiences, in the vastness of which you can always find your flower.

For his second EP, R.2614 continues to deepen his universe with 4 tracks complemented by 2 remixes by Bias and STUPR.

The first track, 'Illusion', plunges us into a dark atmosphere, depicted by a heavy, EBM-influenced rhythm section, aggressive acid synths and ghostly, authoritative vocals. 'Élévation' then comes with a higher tempo as well as a lighter atmosphere: gravity diminishes and we're lifted by the pads and sci-fi synths of this resolutely techno DJ tool. The ascent continues with 'Destination', a track with a steady rhythm and a soaring aura, ideal for filling the dancefloor with love and tenderness. Finally, 'Prédiction' takes us back into an obscure climate, consolidated by a heady bass and distant nightmarish wails, with a mysterious and disturbing prophetic voice.

The first remix, by Bias, offers us a revisited version of 'Élévation', which is marked by lush sound design and a complex rhythmic pattern. To close the EP, STUPR offers us a remix of the same track tinged with UK techno influences, with a consistent breakbeat and rolling bassline.

PREMIERE: R.2614 - Élévation (STUPR Remix)

As they travelled down the long winding river, they left everything that they knew behind. This was to be the journey of a lifetime, a voyage like no other, into the unknown, into the abyss.

Their small boat weaved and floated atop chaotic waves and tides, between jagged rocks and pointed shores.

Yet, they were nimble and agile, like a lizard in the stream.

They would simply go on and on, until they found peace in the great beyond.

Reasons To Dance are set to release a new EP from co founder Dåser who holds no punches on a fast paced, glitched out EP which channels elements of Bass and Techno and features a killer remix from Sputnik One. Listen to ‘Lizard In The Stream’ below:

Pienių Matas is an alter ego for ½ of the beloved brother's duo Deserted Island. Refreshing breaks and positive melancholy is what make this EP so special to release on Skalbiankė. We’re always aiming for quality vibes and Matas manages to deliver on every occasion he gets a chance to.

Chauffeur is his fresh work. It appears as an invitation for a ride where he allows us to listen to his explorations through new sounds and rhythms. Novatory and sentimental, he clashed those two opposites and made it to one superb piece.

Have a great trip! Not only through space but as well - time.

Tracklist: 

Pienių Matas - Breakfast
Pienių Matas - Lampin'
Pienių Matas - Chauffeur

« Undef Human 2024_33 will enter the introspection simulator. Over. »

A few days ago, Undefined Human 2024_33 (UH) was caught by Margotian patrol while attempting to repair broken equipment outside an international space observation platform.

The Margotians were on a mission close to the Earth and spotted UH having trouble with his air suit. They decided to rescue him.

Margotians have observed humans for quite a long time now and have a lot of questions regarding their lifestyle & philosophy. Although Margotians are more intelligent than humans and benefit from a more advanced technology, they are unable to determine if humans are fundamentally bad and cruel.
Their contradictions are complex. How is it possible to hurt the people you love ? How is it possible to destroy your living environment leading to the death of your species?

During their observation phase, Margotian engineers designed a programme to help answer these questions.

UH_2024_33 will be the first beta - tester of the programme as the first human entering the simulation. UH_2024_33 is a good fit, because of his own history: enrolling in the space station in order to flee his past, the bad things he did, the suffering he felt, the fears that he held.

In the simulation UH will relive the key moments of his life. The programme will scan his memory to search for moments unique to him, in particular those that formed his character. The humiliation, tenderness, shame, anger and joy that he has felt from the moment he tore into the world.

These scenes of life will be replayed many times, each time with different parameters and from a different starting point.

Would UH respond the same way if some parts of his history are omitted ? Or if certain social variables and constructs are removed?

Would UH be able to see the bad things he has done, the fears he holds, and recover from them?

Would these experiences and the knowledge that he acquired from them help him to find peace?

After a few runs, the simulation started to drift, like a chaotic system producing unpredictable behavior. The Margotians could not believe it.

UH managed to survive the meteorites of his anger, dodge the magnetic field of his fears, pass through the asteroids of his remorse and guilt. The nebula of his anxiety vanished.
Finally the eclipse of his ego disappeared and a shiny planet appeared.

This was Planet Margot, innocence rediscovered. A new territory able to reinvent itself, free from dominant societal norms that trap spirituality and creativity. A land free from excess and exploitation where you can only seed your wise. No fences to divide differences. No room for individuality.

After running the simulation on a wide range of humans, Margotians realised that Planet Margot exists inside every person.

The Margotians decided to follow their analysis by creating PlanetMargot and populating it with all the humans inputted in their program, taking them back to theirundefined, innocent state.

What will happen to these people? Who are the Margotians?

Margotians are the Earthlings of the future.
