For this premiere we check back in with @dddsssppp for a new release from friend-of-the-show @bovaflux

Distorted Sensory Perception returns for their 4th release, proudly welcoming Eddie Symons AKA Nullptr to the fold. ‘Lost Time’ boasts 4 deep and dynamic analogue cuts that are sure to stimulate the mind, body and soul. The EP forms the penultimate part of Nullptr’s 2021 triptych, recorded over the final months of a difficult year when the distance between friends and family really
started to be felt, yet the hope of better times felt close.

PREMIERE: Nullptr - Islands (Distorted Sensory Perception)

Since 1991, Tresor has provided a home for artists to develop their ideas for advanced new sounds and broadcast them to the world. The pioneers that first traversed the Detroit-Berlin connection and were at the forefront of a new cultural movement gave to Tresor its original and continuing mission: community, resistance and reshaping the world to come.

The Tresor 30 compilation represents a major landmark in this continuing history of electronic music. This unique collection of music profiles some of the artists that gave the previous three decades of Tresor its sound and foundation, but it also casts its gaze forward. Writing new postcards from the future, this collection brings new artists who maintain a connection to that original mission to the fore, charting ways in which this ethos can continue to build bridges and break walls in the next 30 years.

Bringing together 52 essential tracks - both classics and exclusive commissions - each of the 12 records in this box-set charts a unique line of flight from those artists that helped define the shape of this new music to those who continue to pattern its landscape further.

The future is bright and it’s now.

Bytes readies reissue of the killer 1990s electro EPs by SEM aka Damon Baxter.

In the neon-lit alleys where the shadows creep,
In Area 5, where the code runs deep,
Beneath the hum of SEM’s thrumming beats,
Lies a city of circuitry, where reality retreats.

Detroit techno pulses through the veins,
As dystopian dreams dance in chains,
In the flickering lights of byte-laden screens,
Where echoes of the future meet shattered dreams.
 

Strings of dystopian sci-fi weave,
Through the fabric of what we believe,
In the symphony of cybernetic cries,
Where humanity fades and the machine’s sighs.

John Carpenter’s ghosts haunt the streets,
Vangelis’s echoes in every beat,
In this city of shadows, where no one’s free,
The soundtrack of a world lost in entropy.
 

Earlier this month Bytes announced the reissue of the killer 1990s electro EPs by SEM (aka Damon Baxter, who would go on to record as Deadly Avenger) on May 17, 2024. The second track to be made available for public consumption is Area 5, taken from The Demon EP, the second SEM release, on which Damon expanded the pure old-school electro SEM sound to include elements of Detroit techno and dystopian sci-fi strings, giving off serious John Carpenter/Vangelis’s Blade Runner soundtrack vibes.

PREMIERE: SEM - Area 5 [BYTES]

From the deep confines of the universe, we receive emissions of HC Records’ 21st release - Those Dark Whims by UHF, the production duo and Gladio Operations label heads José Castillo and David Aragón. An exciting digital LP from which a selection of tracks have been extracted for vinyl along with remixes by two label regulars, Estrato Aurora and The Lost Boys.

Skynet Was Shy opens both the LP and the vinyl, a hypnotic starting point in which the most vibrant and crystalline electro fuses with acid sequences to generate a state of pure trance, complimented and driven by spiralling sequences and mantra-like vocals. The second track on the LP and A2 on the vinyl is The Lost Boys' remix of Skynet Was Shy. A rough and sharp reinterpretation where the use of 303 sequences continues but focuses on more of a physical than a mental dance.

Hanging Baskets reactivates the state of infinite mental suspension that underlies this powerful and bold composition with deft and minimalistic use of elements: sharp broken rhythms, a dense melodic environment but with occasional moments of pure light and a new vocal message that ignites in our minds.

The B-side kicks off with Estrato Aurora's remix of Day Dream, which as usual in the work of the acclaimed Valencian producer, extends the original version to 8 minutes, giving it an unusual emotionality created by an amalgam of sound textures that interweave multiple pads, mutant melodies and pulsating percussion. Closing the vinyl, UHF's machines join forces with the lyrics of another electro heavyweight in Protestas En Las Redes Feat. Dark Vektor, a combative discourse in which the powerful and robotic vocal message of the Terrassan producer ascend alongside the futuristic melodies, extra-dimensional violins, spatial arpeggios, and metallic rhythms of the Madrid duo.

Five bonus tracks complete the UHF experience, starting with the title track, Those Dark Whims, a perfect blend of funk bass lines, helical synthesisers sequencing sonic chains of acid trance and legendary vocal samples.

The original version of Day Dream, is perhaps the LPs deepest and most emotional track. Low bpms, a rapturous rhythm that alternates syncopated passages with a commanding 4x4 and an atmosphere reminiscent of film noir soundtracks.

Lowering our heartbeat even more to a chill out state, Space Marmalade is served to us rich and tasty on a slice of toast, all sweetness with a purple and phosphorescent touch in this extra-terrestrial downtempo composition. We wake up from the space dream to embrace the emotions created by Tales Of Saigon, Belgian-flavoured Techno that reminds us of early 90s compositions with renewed sound aesthetics that we could imagine moving to on the dance floor of the mythical Boccaccio Life. A wink to the 1979 classic, The Warriors, directed by Walter Hill leads us into Baseball Furies, a playful, nocturnal, and hyper-muscular slice of electro. Thick drums, bouncy bass, fx and dark pads unify mystery and rogue dance.

On Tuesday 30/04/24 the LP will be presented live at Killing Time, the physical headquarters of the label located in Valencia. Following an interview conducted by HC label boss David Verdeguer, the duo will be DJing along with two of the vinyl’s guest remixers, Estrato Aurora and The Lost Boys.

A3 - Hanging Baskets

The debut solo release from the label head is a killer mix of acid lines, breaks, and electro, with a splash of experimental twists and a dash of Middle Eastern vibes. It’s got that raw, underground energy—classic dancefloor sounds flipped with unexpected textures and offbeat elements. The whole thing feels eclectic but keeps it tight, delivering a vibe that’s both groovy and unpredictable.

Label: Too Rough 4 Radio
Artist: Various (DJ .wav)
Format: Cassette, Digital
Cat. Number: Rough Cuts 04
EP Title: Influx EP
Release Date: February 18th, 2021
Support it: https://toorough4radio.bandcamp.com/album/rough-cuts-04-dj-wav-influx-ep

Carved out of the deep underbelly of driving electro, beautiful landscapes come to the surface in this 8 track journey Influx EP by DJ .wav. The turbulence of rumbling yet metered rhythms and icesharp staccato basslines, layered with FM-synth pads, are only just some of the blended elements this artist, who has released on the labels a friend in need and Special Species Records. The release,
by German-based label Too Rough 4 Radio’s Rough Cuts 04, captures club energy with joint forces in moody electro bliss for effective dancefloor weapons for all environments.

Translucent and ethereal are not the most common words associated with an effective electro cut, but this track (“Abyssal Zone”) by DJ .wav delivers both with invigorating momentum. The
hypnoticism of evocative female singing, reminiscent of Aphex Twin’s “Xtal,” combined with crisp electro hi hats and straight synth lead arpeggios, make a great selection for reigniting a second wind
on the dancefloor.
