in a bead of sweat,

Ambedo EP

SITU-555 // DJ Life - Ambedo EP

Artist: Radioactive Man @radioactiveman
Track: Born in the USB
Title: Volume 1
Label: Sonicus Croniclus

The first in a series of 10” from the UK electro/breaks iconic, volume 1 of Sonicus Croniclus features two direct and blunted dancefloor gems. The spooky stabs and coarse bassline on ‘Unsaid’ recall a memorable dance in the rain at Houghton. ‘Born In The USB’ is our pick, with its wobbling synths over a badass, low slung electro beat. The artwork on the label was made by plasticine, yes plasticine! Let's play.

Planar Traits - Exo-Realm

Maybe it needed a move to finally step into the limelight. Maybe it needed the width, ironically speaking, of a Stockholm apartment to finish his first EP. Callum Nixon, better known under his artist alias Planar Traits, 'escaped' from his ordinary life in Glasgow and moved to the Swedish capital where he finalized the upcoming Portal Vision EP on Magic Carpet – the artist's first full release and with all honesty speaking, it's a game changer and not only for the artist himself. Shortly before it's out, Torture the Artist caught up with the Callum Nixon to speak about the release, his studio routines, differences between the scenes in his old Scottish home and his Stockholm residence, his insecurities when it comes to own music, pressure he puts on himself, how his artist moniker Planar Traits came about and his early days respectively his teenage years in music. Additionally, you can listen to Callum's favorite track from the EP, Exo-Realm.

Exclusive: Baldo - Drive

Baldo finds his way from the city of Barcelona to British imprint E-Beamz presenting his Deep-, UKG- and Tech-infused House-sound in the context of sophisticated music connoisseurs. After releases on Benjamin Fröhlich and Tom Bioly’s Permanent Vacation, Gerd Janson’s Running Back, his very own imprint Physical Education, the artist now has a new EP on the UK-label, musically taking the same line as its predecessors and surely ready to reap support from the (entire) scene again as his latest cuts were spun by none other than Berghain/ Panoramabar-resident and Love On The Rocks-boss Paramida, who also remixed Baldo on his Physical Education release, and House-icon Eris Drew, who gave Baldo’s track 1998 a spin in her Dekmantel-set. However, Drive, the B3 of the release, is a smooth night-rider as Baldo cruises through soundscapes as smooth as a vehicle at night through the empty streets guided by a lush bass line and sweet Acid-Bleeps that turn the track into a decent basis for a long lasting dance floor session. 

Baldo's EP Ethereal Tubes will be released on E-Beamz on September 2nd, 2022.

The Workout (West Coast Mix)

At the tail end of 2015, a Glaswegian label called @craigie-knowes launched with a compilation that saw all proceeds going to a charity working to protect children in war-torn countries. Backed up by a tracklist that read like a who's who of house and techno - and yes, the compilation really did feature a track by Move D and Gerd Jansen entitled 'Taps Aff For Glasgow' - it served as an immensely successful unveiling for the Scottish imprint, and all for an incredibly worthy cause. Now they're back, and they've got @Carl-A-Finlow in tow.

A one-time collaborator of 20:20 Vision's Ralph Lawson and Dominic Capello of Sub Club fame, Finlow recently woke from a 2 year slumber to serve up some icy electro. The second of those releases arrives on Monday via Craigie Knowes, but it’s the clever arrangements and intelligent, absorbing sound design of A2 cut ‘Boron’ that really caught our attention. Hitting like a blunt object to the side of the head, it’s razor-edged electro for low ceilinged, gloomy spaces – Finlow's motorik-style electro rhythms and soaring synths drive through proceedings like 100mph polar winds through the Scottish highlands. Time to batten down the hatches and put a strobe light on!

Premiere: Carl Finlow - Boron [Craigie Knowes]

Worthwhile albums tend to be as much about the process of making them as they are about the end products themselves. One can almost hear formal, technical, even philosophical questions being asked and answered on them in order to arrive at something personally and politically new for the artist. "A Box Full of Magic," at once sprawling, cosmic, and psychedelic in the best of ways, follows in this album-making tradition. It is a record steeped in off kilter percussive time, live recording, occasionally summer cloud-paced tempos, and lush, emotional, melodic instrumentation. "A Sunrise On the Front," the final track of the record (and a composition crushing in its beauty), encapsulates much of this: recorded live on a Rhodes, the melody gives voice to the paradoxical sense of hope even during the pathology of war. Such conceptual ambition fits perfectly well within the capacious vision of Mathew Jonson's Freedom Engine, a project whose very name seems to explore and allow for the conceptual paradox and complexity of approaching freedom through the engine of technology. In a fundamental sense this tension between freedom and machine informs much of the album proper. Desiring to break out of his old ways of production and the boxes that went with it, the album abounds with fresh fascinations in things like the sound of mathematical equations, quirky time signatures, and experimental phrasing through intuitive timings to unlock a sense of magic, play, and spontaneity. There is, likewise, an interest in the liberating potential of deconstructing old sounds to make new ones, as Jonson applies techniques like innovative noise gating on classic drum samples to create space age percussion. At other moments, on "The Very Strange," for instance, air itself is sampled in field recordings to create unnatural percussive patterns. As is often the case with Jonson's work, an encyclopedia of machines and synths are employed in the making of 'A Box Full of Magic," but what is perhaps new here, and in keeping with the dialectic he traces between freedom/engine, is that there is a non-mechanistic, spontaneous impulse at work in the recordings. While it is not a live album, it has an at times spiritual and organic inclination despite or perhaps because of the way his panoply of gear--Prophet 5, cs60, VCS3, et al--attempts to capture dream-like tonalities that can reach poetic heights on a track like the aforesaid "Sunrise" or morph into an almost diabolical, Lynchian dimension on "An Evil Charm (Where Is the Forest)." But while it is tempting to get lost in the trees of synth-arcana with Jonson's work, we should not lose sight of the forest here: With its openness to new ideas which in turn generate an album teeming with them, "Box Full of Magic" helps to expand the sonic vocabulary of contemporary dance music.

Mathew Jonson lives and works in Berlin. He has been experimenting with electronic music since 1986.
