OW3 Loek Frey - Decipher

For Omen Wapta’s third release, Loek Frey explores the far reaches of mechanic and organic spaciousness. His first album ‘Decipher’ is melting together metallic  and biological influences. Loek states that the artistic freedom he had during the creative process was a liberating experience: it allowed him to take risks and translate his subconscious into music. Letting go of direction, the irregular complex rhythms still provide a clear and minimalistic approach to sound design.

OW3 contains eleven electronic scapes, some more than others are intensified by layers of clashing atmospheres. Remaining fresh and breathable, elements from different sources coexist in another dimension. The result is a naturally arising composition of sound, with a sense of progression.

OW3 Loek Frey - Decipher [preview]

Human Space Machine debuts on re:st with the Zone EP, composed during the recent lockdown era, and we are delighted to host the premiere of Sigh from this upcoming release. Through its galloping percussion, the track strides beautifully over a trail of mid-range frequencies built on slithery basslines and grooves. With a prowling tone and a gradually improved pace in its tempo, the delightfully rhythmical pattern gives away the feeling of yearning for an expedition to unexplored, hypnotic sonic territories. As a result, Sigh delivers a well-known warm feeling of engagement with its persistent loops that eventually put us deliberately into its Zone.

Premiere: Aa Sudd - Menodice [MDG020]

The cobbled square was deafly silent; so silent you could hear a pin drop. Shop fronts were boarded up, cafes empty and bleak, advertising ripped and tattered. At first people had left in their droves, making sharp exits as soon as the rumours began to spread, but there were still some stragglers, a few hangers on who couldn't bear to leave their lives behind. But they lived in fear every single day, it was no real life anymore, their existence reduced to nothing. Deep down they knew one day they'd be forced out, but until then they'd stand strong, this was home.

Paleman's catalogue stretches back to 2012 when he was charting releases for the likes of Loefah's Swamp 81, Fulcrum and alongside Boddika. He's been steadily putting out music on his own PLMN imprint since then, but it's only now, a whole decade later, that he's releasing his debut album Veiled. Finding its place on Sublunar Recordings, the seven-tracks evidence his background as a jazz drummer and his compositional work; rhythm, percussion and mood are central pillars from start to finish. Playing with percussion, droning soundscapes, texture and stripped-back rhythms, he creates an album that, in its entirety, is introspective but it still feels at home on the dance floor.

PREMIERE: Paleman - Mandible [Sublunar Recordings]

Very few electronic music artists can boast of spanning a wide musical spectrum as the UK producer Calum Lee aka Paleman / Fresnel Lens.Always emphasizing the percussive side (advantage of being a jazz drummer), and always with an innovative spirit, the releases of this authentic sound designer oscillate between the most abstract / experimental electronica and minimalist club focused techno, from atmospheric and introspective works to the sickest dubstep / bass music.

As at 30D we declare ourselves absolute fans of Calum’s music, we had a clear obligation to ask him to join our catalogue, specifically for the EyesHave It sub-label (we had especial interest in his interpretation of broken, dark and industrial techno). His answer was direct and unmistakable:”I’ve sent you a lot of pieces that fit with your label vision and the imagery that we love.. I’ve been studying existentialism a lot recently, so these tunes are a reflection of my headspace at the moment!”. A true declaration of intent!

And here it is, five perfect examples of obsessive tribal madness, overexciting synthetic broken beats and a lot of rawness. A pure musical gem.

30DEYES-004: Paleman - Exalted EP

Soreab - Sensitivity 6.0 

March 24, 2023 -  12" Vinyl, Digital & Streaming

Soreab debuts on Avian.
Dario Picchi, whose repertoire includes forays into Dancehall, Bass Music and genres less easily classified, alongside a spate of intriguing collaborations, keeps things sparse on Sensitivity 6.0. The six track EP offers up idiosyncratic takes on IDM, Techno and Ambient music with a focus on intricate sound design, showcasing the Baroque Sunburst label head’s admirable versatility as a producer.
Brazen opener Squirrel Stampede might surprise listeners expecting a more delicate approach from the EP title. Neatly layered and economic in its execution, it’s a forceful slice of modern Techno. Meditative follow up Trub marries a thick, undulating percussion line with a saccharine melody. Loose synths emerge sporadically from the sonic periphery, breaking up the rolling drum pattern to create a cinematic atmosphere. Closing out the A side is Giale Draws, an intriguing beatless piece with nods to both vintage Musique concrète and more contemporary compositions from the electronic music leftfield.
On the B side, Soreab ups the tempo and goes fathoms deep with the cavernous Dust Eater. Landing somewhere between Autonomic Drum & Bass and Dub Techno, it sets the tone for the dense, atmospheric march of Insomnias that follows. Letting well-worked drums lead the recording, Picchi introduces Rhodes and a low-sunk synth flourish to create a crisp, hazy atmosphere. Rite closes the EP, a glistening Ambient recording with subtle percussive motifs and delayed vocals that sit atop hypnotic pads – a wide-open, ethereal closing statement.
