Premiere: Clocked Devices - Intergalactic [TR4R]

Vronsky & Löwen’s Listening Blue label is off-the-cuff with 101% Techno compilation. The fourth edition features submarine techno with Fiend-X, Soma, Bête Imaginaire, контур сс and Vronsky. Bête Imaginaire’s ‘On the Beach’ fuses dubby warehouse techno with heartfelt incisions like raving in a daytime warehouse with sunlight seeking to pierce the blackened windows. The Frenchmen’s superb production is on full display by blending the sound of waves, as white noise in the midst of a rhythmic drive with unadulterated percussion and 4/4 overdriven beats. There is a raw emotive element… a calm before the storm, except you’re well past the calm.

101% Techno EP is slated for release on December 14th 2018 via Bandcamp & Juno.

PREMIERE: Bête Imaginaire - On The Beach (LB004)

Atop the rocks and murky sands, metallic crafts and lofty structures sprawled across the seabed. Inside, figures moved swiftly through the corridors illuminated by deep warm lights. Underneath the waters they had built a new world, a place where the rules and constructs of real life couldn't determine their path anymore. Many had told them it was an impossible task, that they were doomed to fail, but what had once seemed like a perilous place to inhabit had now become their home. It was a peaceful existence beneath the depths of the ocean. 

Australian DJ and producer Andy Garvey launches her Pure Space imprint with four club focused tracks journeying through electro, breaks and techno. E Davd is our pick but the entire EP is huge and features tracks from Reptant, Daze and Point Guard.

SM003 // Sentient State - Separation Logic EP [OUT NOW]

The subconscious cave is not an empty space in the conscious mind, it is a bubbling space, haunted by questions and mystical activity.

“Natif” (Stalactite - in Hebrew) is a seventh tracks EP by Tel-Aviv based DJ and producer MYKI.

Any substance, water drip or murmur reveals a cloak of meaning in the form of a showy echo. A variety of ancient animals, forbidden imaginary fruits and mysterious passions sneak in at night and look for a place of refuge to rest, to sleep.

The stalactites (Natif) are amorphous juice from the bottom of the mind, they are the seeds of confusion and irrationality and they seep through cracks in the cave and produce chaos and trembling until suddenly, out of a nightmare are born proud crystals of splendor and inspiring beauty.

PREMIÈRE: MYKI - Enbalim

Deep within the maze he wandered between corridors and dense green walls of foliage and fear. He was lost and struggling to find a way out of this twisted fantasy. They'd told him to follow the inner path, it would lead him to where he needed to be and open the door to a world of new found possibilities and an enlightened sense of self. The dark sky loomed overhead as he looked upwards towards the stars and dreamt of home far, far away. He shivered and proceeded onwards...

Blue Hour is a label of which we are most fond here at Ransom Note, it represents that sweet spot between heavy hitting techno, trance and euphoric ambience. It's the type of inspiring, uplifting material which has been keeping us going through a miserable year and for that we tip our hat to them. This track is by Trading Xircles, a collaborative project which focusses on texture and soundscapes as much as it does club ready material.
