Dam Swindle's Maarten Smeets, aka Wanderist, launches his Transient Nature imprint this April with four-track EP 'Think Potential' from Dukwa.
Transient Nature is a label dedicated to the world of machine funk with a sonic aesthetic of off-kilter techno and electro, and the first release sees Dukwa deliver an EP as varied as it is powerful. Transient Nature has a busy 2021 planned with releases from Detroit's Scan7, Black Cadmium and Maarten's solo project: Wanderist. The 'Think Potential' EP is deeply rooted in gritty electronics and illustrates the producer's love for hardware and vintage techniques - three of the tracks are hardware jams recorded straight to tape.

The driving Rhodes licks and fluttering percussion on 'Who Cares' gets the EP rolling before the distorted electronica and stabbing 303s fuse harmoniously on 'High Position'. Up next, 'It's U' delivers an old-school tinged electro number with its slamming drums, robotic vocals and squeaking acid lines. The EP closer, 'Eye2eye' sees Dukwa moving deeper into the electronica territory with industrial drums and dreamy piano lines working together with mesmerising effect.

With recent output ranging from Detroit house inspired MPC-driven tracks to more conceptual electronic work, Dukwa's soulful yet dynamic releases for the likes of Numbers, Don't Be Afraid and his eponymous imprint have won a wide range of support as well as picking up a coveted 'Hottest Record in The World' from the BBC's Annie Mac.

"Out with the old and in with the new" - that's what they always say. But it's never that easy in practice. The transition is always strange: it's a period of change, sometimes of destruction, definitely of adjustment. Morphing from one form slowly into the next, prompted by actions of your own doing, or someone elses. Things are going to be different and, unwilling or willing, you have to deal with it.

Having been immersed in music culture from a young age, becoming hooked on collecting records as well as training as a sound engineer, Italian DJ and producer David Agrella is now taking things up a notch with the launch of his new label, Agrellomatica Records. Named after his monthly radio show on Bloop, the imprint will be a space for his musical inspirations which bridge many different strains of electronic music. For his first outing he offers up a four tracker, 'Transition', which melds together fluid drum patterns, rubbery synth lines, soaring pads and dreamy electro grooves.

The noise echoed and bounced between the walls of the large, empty warehouse. It were as if the drums rioted and roared on repeat, ploughing onwards into the darkness of the abyss. From time to time a bright, flickering light illuminated the entirety of the space - the shadowy corners of this space were exposed for a brief second only to return to the dense black state they were before. From time to time he would hear a shout or a scream from some wild friend nearby, a nameless noise, a shot in the dark. 

Holger Zilske is set to release a new EP via AEONIC, a powerful EP set to cause damage in dark rooms. Holger himself describes the release as follows:

"Covid-19 and some major family issues made me focus on my inner-self and let me reflect my situation a lot. I wanted to do something more personal again. Something not just functional. ON REPEAT definitely has some Kraftwerk reminiscences. I combined the robot like vocals from a book reading app with my Juno 106, Roland 101 and 808 beats. A combination of very classic elements that created something to enjoy on a party, as well as at home.“

The EP comes with a crucial remix from techno artist Vril, who reworks the track 'On Repeat' into a wondrous electronic spectacle.

She squinted up at the sun through her fingers; it had been a lifetime since she'd felt the heat on her face. It changed everything; her mood, her conversations, even her willingness to get out of bed in the morning. Scrolling through the week's forecast, sun and blue skies filled each day; giving her assurance that her mind and body would thrive.

Bristol-based sound artist and producer Delay Grounds is "compelled to work with abstraction", an approach he channels wholeheartedly on his newest release 'Upcycling'. Working alongside artist Liz Naden, the pair have created an audio-visual concept using rubbish found in skips; Delay Ground producing organic electronic sounds, while Naden crafted unique sculptures. A forward-thinking project that 'upcycles' the regular artistic mediums, encouraging a narrative and an understanding between the pair, in Delay Grounds words it "enabled us both to explore our own creative potential and create a work with layers of depth which we were not initially aware of before.”

Slowly he counted, the numbers stacked up with a weighty presence. The 1,000 was in the distance but he wasn't quite there yet. Walking through the city streets he knew he had to hustle to make it out of this place, the grit and the grime of the landscape was getting him down, this wasn't supposed to be home. He was only ten away from calling it a day then boom, his luck was in. A handshake, a conversation, a smile. The 990 was transformed into something more suitable...

Circulation is back. A celebrated powerhouse of electronic music has resurfaced and with him comes brand new music which he describes as follows:

"After writing over forty-five 12 inch releases and two albums under the Circulation name from 1997 to 2007, and after stopping for ten years, I recently started writing again under the Circulation moniker. It feels great to be back producing and recirculating with a project that has meant so much to me over the years.“
