Lord Phatrick Guest Mix for Mechanical Breakdown on KEXP

Sonn (with Lycra Out)

The path twisted through the forest like a snake slithering towards its prey. This was the only way forward, and as dusk approached the will to follow it through the night diminished. For this scene before them was nothing new; it was one they'd seen before, perhaps in a dream or a past life — they couldn't quite put their finger on it. There was nothing inviting about the road ahead and nothing good would come from their following it.

A year after coming together under the guise of Jerome, Italian/Swedish/Greek duo Annalisa Lembo and Stella Mathioudakis made their debut on Maple Death Records in 2020 with the dark ambient musings of 'Moods'. Now they're returning for their first proper vinyl release 'LP2' which explores themes of pain, rebirth and acceptance. Recorded in just five days in the Italian flatlands, before being refined between Italy and Sweden during lockdown, the pair go against their classicaly trained backgrounds to craft raw improvisations that meander through hypnotic industrial, distorted wave experiments and punkish, metallic techno. 

"Jerome is God. Jerome is Female. Jerome is Male. Jerome is You. Jerome is Me. Jerome is Inside but also Outside."

PREMIERE: Jerome - Life's Eye [Maple Death Records]

Artist: https://soundcloud.com/akaroid-music, https://soundcloud.com/bydl
Track: 48.2188, 16.3324 (ZwölfachtelBreak 09)
Label: https://soundcloud.com/sama-recordings
Format: Cassette Tape, Digital, LP
Release date: 25/10/21
Purchase: https://samarecordings.bandcamp.com/album/a-b-a-b-samatape012

The project name »A / B« references several aspects of the cooperation: The initials of the artist names Akaroid and BYDL, the distance from A to B and the A and B sides of the tape cassette. The two artists worked in a shared folder in their home studios in Berlin and Vienna without ever meeting or making explanatory phone calls. Each musician brought in his own elements, samples, sound designs and production techniques in order to play in new parts using the ping-pong process, to arrange them or to change the material of the predecessor through manipulation and processing. The sound generation and the sound design took place via analog / digital modular synthesizers as well as in the laptop or via conventional miking of acoustic instruments (percussion). The entire EP is supported by a sense of cooperation and innovative ways not to lose common creativity to isolation, even when contact is prohibited.
The basis of all tracks consists of extractions from field recordings. The ambiences and original notes obtained in this way (mainly from Vienna and Berlin - A / B) were not only processed with effects, but also used via MIDI programming to output beat, melody or harmony. As a result, the recordings fit more organically into the track structure and are supported by the arrangement of those elements that are more familiar to the hearing of the recipients. On the one hand, the title of the track reveals the location of the respective field recordings used in the track and, on the other hand, the one or two-digit number in brackets shows how often the project was sent from A to B before it was finalized, which provides a unique insight into the artists way of production.

After kicking off Bella Ursa’s season 2 with our Nebula Aranea series, we’re delighted to present the first album of yet another talented individual from our hometown of Strasbourg: Nocto.

Nocto has been on a very intimate journey for years and seems to have evolved in a galaxy of his own. Drifting away from planet Burial to all kinds of pop-infused nebulas, his music radiates a strong cosmic energy to which the Bella Ursa’s mothership felt spontaneously attracted.

Like a skilled woodworker, Nocto meticulously crafts his music using percussive sounds and soundscapes directly borrowed from Mother Nature. In his imaginary world, She has recently regained Her sovereignty over a civilisation blindly guided by technology and over-information. Spectres can still be heard roaming in between concrete walls and the ever -present vegetation…

Is it a dystopia or utopia? We’ll let you decide by going on a trek amongst these 12 tracks of ritualistic patterns guided by the sound of bass music!

Tracklist: 

01 - Nocto - Lithanie Peroxydee
02 - Nocto - FractalRoot
03 - Nocto - Concrete Walls
04 - Nocto - Domndowndawn
05 - Nocto - Petite Piece
06 - Nocto - Ghostrain
07 - Nocto - Uncanny Valley
08 - Nocto - Reality Check

Tram Planet Records is excited to return with ‘Think For Yourself’ by Columbus-based techno vet Fbk.

Fbk has been pumping out releases since 1994 as a staple in the midwest. Under aliases The Sleep Engineer (Xplor) and Powerhouse on The Acid Junkies' the Acid Life, he has been a shapeshifter with a steady stream of minimal, pure motorik pulsations that embody that Midwest Freak power. Measured yet transcendently driving - a mind-bending wormhole that weaves dark introspective turns into the unknown, Think For Yourself covers a diaspora of modes for the floor - all while encapsulating the energy of his live sets that we know and love. Topped off with a subterranean remix by icon Marcel Dettmann - a huge honor to have his name grace this release.

ALL PRE-ORDER PROCEEDS will be donated to The UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) to support the Ukrainian refugee crisis 🇺🇦 www.unhcr.org/ua/en
