MOODS AF (October 2022) 👁️

When it's Monday, somewhere else on the planet it's also Tuesday. Some living in the future while others live in the past. This dance of time is the rhythmic paradox of waking consciousness between humans. The realization of "Monday" is shared between two OG producers from opposite sides of the world. Hooves represents the southern hemisphere and Vinja holds down the northern vibe in this massive halftime low end banger. Test your nearest subwoofer now!

Hooves x Vinja - Monday

Nyquist - Sunrise

Pieces is a song about love rising up to the surface...a transcendent love inspired by some outer reflection of your inner truth. Think of a time when some experience or connection has reminded you of who you are and aligned some pieces of your inner puzzle. That’s what Pieces is all about: taking steps towards wholeness, finding light within darkness, embracing all the particles that make up our being.

Lyrics:
You shed your light upon
Fragments of me I never knew
That I was craving
So good to feel within you
Familiar vibrations
Like they have been here all along
And now they meet the surface

To follow, I'd follow you
Into the shadow side
To follow, I'd follow you
And shed upon it your light

You bring together the pieces
Now it all finally makes sense
It's just the waves that we're riding through
It's just the way that they pull me towards you
I'm vulnerable, but I know it's all right
Because I know this is not our first time

To follow, I'd follow you
Into the shadow side
To follow, I'd follow you
And shed upon it your light

You bring together the pieces
Now it all finally makes sense
It's just the waves that we're riding through
It's just the way that they pull me towards you
I'm vulnerable but I know it's all right
Because I know this is not our first time

Pieces

Pieces - Humandala and Natalie Lain (ft. AMALGAMY)

@primate_music

With a sound and style that begets immediate recognition, Primate originally emerged with a design palette that felt honed in beyond its years, presenting a catalog of exceptionally avant-garde electronic music right out of the gate. As such, we’ve proudly hosted his work on numerous occasions, and are just as excited to debut his latest experiments on the Tortuous EP.

The absolute first hallmark of any Primate production is his bombastic percussive arrangement; be it rising swells, crashing climaxes, or veritable rhythmic bridges, his drum shaping and programming across the entire EP is both on par with his sonic aesthetic and a step above previous releases. The liquid-soul underbelly of each track acts as an anchor for daring runs of low-end synthesis, mingling the playbook of improvisational jazz with his own brand of space-aged synthesis. It’s a masterclass in phrasing, pacing, and evolution across compositions, bringing breaks, glitch, and instrumental dialogue to the same table. For music minds of all shapes and sizes, Primate’s Tortuous should be next on your list of must-have records.

Tortuous

Primate - Tortuous

Repeating vocals, gyrating bass waves and post-neuro drum & bass claps mingle with a smashing 4x4 beat to make ‘Double Take’. The California based Mirror Maze utilizes spaciousness with intentional percussive elements, punctuated flaring bass and bold contrasting sounds to expertly blend genres. Expect to hear more exciting drum & bass conceptions from this VALE team member.

Global Extraction Vol. I

Double Take

Mirror Maze - Double Take

@zonrasounds
@jacksonhalemusic

Subverting compositional and design tropes each step of the way, the Zonra project has maintained a striking consistency in its escape from the norms of conventional electronic music. Straddled somewhere between the dance-centric sound of contemporary bass music producers and the aural experimentation developed by IDM pioneers, Jackson Hale achieves a stable balance between groove and intrigue with each subsequent release, moving that needle closer to either end whenever the need arises. In time-tested fashion, his latest LP is a work of beauty from every angle, and as such, The Rust is incredibly excited to premiere Time Is A Tool as our 61st label release.

Previous Zonra records have featured an amalgam of shredded synthesis, mean breakdowns, and carefully threaded melodic elements. Unsurprisingly, Hale flipped the script entirely for Time Is A Tool; The LP’s opening moments involve smooth harmonies egressing into smooth cadence, and that relationship carries on throughout each track. Choice waves of tension and release, told through the intentional splaying of tones and textures into glitched-out symphonies, creates a permeable catharsis within each fold of the record, slowly churning the listener towards the album’s zenith. Opting for slow, caressing tempos and chord phrases reminiscent of serene lullabies, the traditional throaty bass lines and hyper-compressed downbeats are put out to pasture in favor of a record filled to the brim with particularly intentional and resoundingly magical moments of introspection and rest. For those keen on finding their next sonic journey amidst a crowd with a dancefloor focus, Time Is A Tool is assuredly the album you’ve been searching for.

@dysfunctionalfamily

The contemporary cross-pollination of electronic genres and styles has a way of bringing out the very best of daring, boundary-pushing musicians and creatives. Hailing from Essenbach, Germany, the contemporary producer and songwriter duo Dysfunctional Family has a bevy of obvious talents all suffusing together; from synth work to drum programming, harmonic interplay, and the massaging of the vibe, their work has a way of setting the bar a few notches higher, and is consequently gestating a particularly driven sound. As a result, The Rust is extraordinarily excited to present their latest minted works, the 10-track LP A Day At The Beach.

Walking through the front door of the album puts the listener on prime, beachfront real-estate; A Day At The Beach is quintessentially a collection of downbeat, IDM-infused tracks that flip between pulsating low end and extremely lush compositional dialogue. The overarching musical narratives are brought to life through potent Reese synthesis and hyper-dextrous percussion anchored to the interplay of chords, leads, lone piano lines, and a panoply of glitch motifs and manipulated audio artifacts. The beauty of the album is both its expansive palette and it's incredibly tight songwriting fundamentals, showcasing a creative mind that's as compositionally focused as it is exploratory, and the marriage of risk and reward plays out across every single track on the LP. Regardless of where your tastes lay on spectrum, A Day At The Beach has the right blend of ingredients and right attitude to appeal to any and all ears and minds at large.
