@cyrkmusic - Doppler Spectroscopy | AVD001

1. Doppler Spectroscopy
2. Convolution
3. Inverted Gravity

@avoidantrecords is a brand new label from Glasgow that debuts with a statement electro release from Berlin innovators CYRK called ‘Doppler Spectroscopy’.

Comprised of Sammy Goossens and Pascal Hetzel, this hardware loving pair are masters of live jam sessions and cross all genre lines with a real and raw sense of energy. Drawing on Detroit’s rich history, the best of electro and playing everywhere from Tokyo’s Womb to Panorama Bar and Epizode festival in Vietnam, they’ve also established their own self-titled label while getting plays from contemporary stars like DJ Stingray, Steffi and Helena Hauff. They now kick-start Avoidant, a Glaswegian imprint rooted in leftfield electro and diverse sonics.

Fantastic and futuristic first track ‘Doppler Spectroscopy’ is a searing electro cut with corrugated bass funk to spare. Molten acid, crisp hits and sustained chords flesh out the groove and make for effective, unforgettable listening. ‘Convolution’ is a busy jam with more electro stylings and freeform synth lines. It’s cinematic and sci-fi, with punchy kicks offset by gorgeous twinkling keys and really tugs at the heart despite the physicality of it all. Closing out a top trio is ‘Inverted Gravity’, a darker electro trip but still with pensive chords and an unpredictable groove.

This bold first release is a fantastic way to kick off what promises to be an interesting new label.

Delsin are pleased to gather together some of the highlights from the rich and varied catalogue of Manchester-based producer Claro Intelecto. From his earliest works on Ai Records through a prolific run on Modern Love to his more recent outings on Delsin, Mark Stewart has continually presented a vision of electronic music that uses the Detroit blueprint as a launch pad for his own distinctive strain of techno. Moving from elegant beauty to rabid intensity while grounded by a firm sense of rhythm, his catalogue runs deep and wide. This expansive compilation filters out select highlights from across his discography, and reframes them as a compelling overview of a truly distinctive voice in modern electronic music.

LYRICS
I know we could be friends
Cause we're not like the others
And it always ends with us faking each other
Stop calling me in
You better watch me go
I just got one more thing to hide 

Anxiety's ok 
You can follow through your pain 
Every other way
You fell into your lies
Speak about the times
Every other way

I know we could be friends
Cause we're not like the others
And it always ends with the drugs and the lovers
Stop calling me in
You better watch me go
I just got one more thing to hide

I hardly ever write such epic songs. 
I don't even know whether this song is about the political situation in Poland, especially of those underprivileged: minorities and women; 
or if it's about realizing it's time to cut off from a toxic friend/workplace/relationship; 
or if it's about my never changing place in music 'industry'; 
or if it's a take on understanding how black and brown people feel. 
You choose what you feel. Anyway, I literally wrote and record this yesterday (so it's a bit rough but whatever) with a simple aim: to send all profits to Black Lives Matter. Thank you for your contribution, I believe we will make the world a better place!

I've grown my patience
Throughout the years
For all the things you've done 
Still bring me to tears
I've learned to keep my head down 
And to walk past
Wearing the same old frown
Will we last?

I've mastered my ways to
Stay out of sight
Testing my boundaries of
How much I can hide
You made me believe I'm proud
Of my solitude
Sporting it like a crown
This ain't no good

Today it's my voice, my pride,
My breath you're stealing
Tomorrow's my choice, my life,
My home, my feelings

Now I can't speak 'cause you've stolen my lines,
I can't sleep 'cause you've stolen my dreams,
I can't swim 'cause you're welding my hands,
Now I can't sing
I can't breathe

I thought you could be trusted,
You would protect,
Prevent disasters
Keeping us safe
Now look at you standing still,
Not a blink of an eye,
Pointing directly
The gauge of your gun

I'm done pretending
You should be too
Let's make amends, but, baby,
It's up to you
Don't want to step in my shoes
Not able to rest,
Asking the same old question:
Will I be next?

Today it's my voice, my pride,
My breath you're stealing
Tomorrow's my choice, my life,
My home, my feelings

Now I can't speak 'cause you've stolen my lines,
I can't sleep 'cause you've stolen my dreams,
I can't swim 'cause you're welding my hands,
Now I can't sing
I can't breathe

I Can't Sing (I Can't Breathe)

Underneath the stark white light of the laboratory lamps, the mysterious organism writhed and twisted into obtuse and indistinct shapes. Everybody gathered round in awe as it began to sprout new features, strange abnormalities that grew and lengthened before their eyes. What it would morph into, nobody knew, but curiosity kept them firmly fixed on this unspecified life form. 

The next transmission from Polish label Pointless Geometry comes courtesy of percussionist and leading force in Polish experimental music Qba Janicki, and Belgian sound sculptor and Knives alumni Obsequies. Titled Autolysis, the release blends various production techniques, from sound sculpting to processed percussion and digital manipulation, recorded through improvisation before being fully formed into an album. Described by both parties as an "electro-acoustic sound organism, which consumes its own flesh for the purpose of self-regeneration", the release explores a new world of sonics that are built, morphed and layered in the most unpredictable ways.
