Bright lights flickered and flashed as he watched wild colours dance amidst the chaos. His vision was hazy and distorted, his senses were not as they seemed and it were as if he'd wandered into some wild, spectacular fantasy in which people, objects and shapes all collided in a wonderful hubbub. The trip had begun earlier in the evening but was well underway now there was no turning back. As he lay on the grass he looked upwards towards the heavens and the stars in the great beyond. They seemed closer than ever now...

Dj F16 Falcon is set to release a new EP on Notte Brigante. A collection of mutant dancehall come downtempo excursions which showcase the versatility of the genre and a leftfield approach.

L/F/D/M, aka Richard Smith, makes his debut on Osàre, exploring the more delicate side of his intoxicatingly abrasive sound. Gold Like Glass is razor-sharp and elemental, with each track cast from long passages of synth dissected into heavy edits. According to Smith, this composition process is akin to printmaking, where the ink on a series of images deviates from the original stencil, becoming looser, softer and increasingly ghostly. ‘After Whitney’ is haunted by peak time rave energy; the drums are disembowelled, leaving a rolling climatic melody, utterly euphoric and disorientating. The track is followed by ‘Blood Byze Leech,’ a thunderously jagged affair, and ‘Delicate Push’ that fizzles like an electrified spinning-top, its frozen melodies accompanied by a lolloping beat. Turning over to the B-side, ‘Plute’ winds its way into dark psychedelia while ‘m-two nine’ descends into the realm of mutant deaccelerated bleep techno. Combing the ciphers of hardcore, its cruxes and suspense, with the serrated edge of minimal synth EBM, Gold Like Glass presents an
alchemical fusion of deeply danceable and cerebral noise.

Confidences


Je dis que l'avenir se souviendra de nous.

Je désire et je brûle.

À nouveau, l'Amour, le briseur de membres,
Me tourmente, doux et amer.
Il est insaisissable, il rampe.
À nouveau l'amour a mon cœur battu,
Pareil au vent qui, des hauteurs,
Sur les chênes s'est abattu.

Tu es venue, tu as bien fait:
J'avais envie de toi.
Dans mon cœur tu as allumé
Un feu qui flamboie.

Je ne sais ce que je dois faire,
Et je sens deux âmes en moi.

Je ne sais quel désir me garde possédée
De mourir, et de voir les rives
Des lotus, dessous la rosée.

Et moi, tu m'as oubliée. 

— Sappho

Oblaka – A Cloud Hangs Over (HACE LP)

A. Campbell Payne dives deeply into the crystalline chimes and resonant bells of FM synthesis for the six tracks of 𝑻𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒍𝒔 + 𝑺𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔. Swirling polyrhythms and ambiguous modal harmonies convey their feelings during a fitful period of recording during 2020-1. Payne says, “Living between two places[…], going through the motions of travel while not going anywhere new created a restless atmosphere for performing this music,” which is reflected by cyclic structures both within and between tracks.

In contrast to the sparkling timbres of 𝑻𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒍𝒔 + 𝑺𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔, subtle compositional instabilities imply an underlying unease. But as a complete suite, it is intended as “an aide in processing feelings of dread, anxiety, and hopelessness”, and Payne continues: “I encourage you to listen to this while on a hike or in other contemplative, open settings.”

"Fourth vinyl installment for the duo, 'Iwa Gaaden' is also their third collaboration with Random Numbers. Pushing forward their commitment for processed field-recordings, micro-samples and poly-rhythmic patterns, this 5 long tells a singular and dark tale about spirits and revenge. Mixing contemporary techniques and ancient sonorities, martial marches meet ghostly rave-esque rituals. A club ready but cinematic oriented odyssey, a pitch-black ballad in the Iwa Gaaden."

We choose 'June's snake' track .Raw total ritual with motivated energetic tempo through experimental sounds, tribal drums and percussions as heartbeat, leading you in a tribe somewhere in African forest.
