After his debut "Mare Aperto", Amsterdam-based Gropina returns to the light with a four tracks 12” EP out on Paesaggi Records.
“Microcosmo” is a synth melody with a slow-rolling Roland 606 drum-machine rhythm, Quena flute by Hamburg saxophonist Linus Kleinlosen, ambient pads, and natural field recordings. The atmosphere of the song brings you into a dewdrop in a blade of grass in the early morning hours right after the twilight of a sunny day. Following we fade into a dreamy dancefloor jam called “Awumbuk” where bittersweet chords are backed with a Yamaha RX5 rhythm, a groovy FM baseline from a Yamaha DX100, and Roland D50 Lush pads. On the flip, we can find an adventurous downtempo break jam called “Natura Naturans” marked by trance-y elements, a solid bassline, and an evocative flute melody. The journey ends with “Omen” which is a dark slow jam characterized by a live processed drum machine groove with a hint of wave influence and a metaphysical vibe to it.
Side B and the riso-printed insert depict the head of the bifid siren from the Romanesque church of S.Pietro in Gropina. In Christian symbology, the fish-tailed siren represents the seductive power of the senses and illusion, which distracts man from the spiritual realm by attracting him to ephemeral pleasures. The siren, like every human-animal hybrid creature, is the duality of intellect-primordial instincts and the conflict between the double nature of man.
Microcosmo has been conceived and recorded between 2018 and 2020.

PREMIERE | Gropina - Awumbuk [Paesaggi] 2021

Pre-order via Bandcamp : https://osare-editions.bandcamp.com/album/oe-017-novo-line-zeit

Novo Line – aka Berlin's algorave maestro Nat Fowler – delivers a noisy, ultramarine voyage into the depths of his archaic hardware. Clawing at the periphery between leftfield electronics and avant-garde pop, Zeit is an entirely new sonic universe, eerily familiar yet utterly uncharted. A visionary synthesist, Fowler is renowned for his productions that make use of mainly '80s equipment including vintage digital synths, discarded MIDI Hi-Tech, tape delay and even an ancient Atari ST computer. But, despite the aged technology, the result is far from nostalgic.

'Ain't That a Mess' slams in with Monica Kremidi's crooning à la Little Annie Anxiety with reeving car engines and guitar-rock static fed through a pan effect. Multilayered melodies soar on 'Stein', the pounding drums matched by gliding strings, crafting that holy grail of cavernous, booming textures and uplifting euphoria that mark out the most transcendent of rave tracks. The deceptively gentle opening bars of 'Morning Star' are interrupted by a viscously squelching bassline, Cass McCombs' vocals dancing deliciously with the raw beat.

Rejecting contemporary tech-fetishism, Novo Line has a near-supernatural ability to exorcise novel sequences, weaving together a record that speaks to the ghost in the machine.

The Bunker

LYO premieres regular and uprising parisian talent "Trudge" joins the "Of Paradise" family with his "Buried Hopes EP", a four-track journey into the heart and mind of one of the most exciting young producers currently working in electronic music. Brimming with his signature brand of focused, emotionally charged and room expanding electronics, Buried Hopes perfectly captures the euphoria and fragility of life.'Memorial For A Buried Hop'e is a fierce and rolling opener. A ferocious kick drum spirals in and out of darkness whilst swirling pads and a cloud of distortion carry the listener deep into the heart of club.'Sad But Necessary' is rich with raw feelings and sincerity. A mass of distorted drum work, swirling acid and melancholic pads that all come together to form a truly mesmerising musical experience.'Drop' launches the B-side and takes things firmly into breakbeat and jungle infused territory. Melodic pads ride alongside cascading and rhythmic drums that submerge the listener into a blanket of pure emotion.Closing out the EP is 'And I'm Losing My Mind Again', a thunderous melding of breakcore and jungle that takes the listener on an unparalleled journey beyond the outer limits. This is true euphoria, a firm label favourite and a modern day classic. Buried Hopes comes packaged in a matte black sleeve complete with sticker and A6 insert.

Sadomasochism

PREMIERE: Lithium Parasites - Sadomasochism (RHR003)

Sometimes there is one more place to go, one more plain to rise to Sometime you have to rise above it and reach up for the higher level.
Having released on Public System Recordings Kluentah has set up a new label called Zement, and has called upon himself to release the first EP on it.
The second track Higher Level is an absoute titan of a track with a breakbeat which sounds like artillery fire a sparse bassline which dances up and down octaves. A Cracking piece of EBM with an electro twist, a killer vocal sample and a driving groove which is messy, urgent and subversive. 
If this is the shape of things to come from Zement, we can't wait to hear more!

PREMIERE | Kluentah - Higher Level [Zement] 2018

In this new edition of our TIOT-DISCO series DJ Ciderman invites his friends to share an EP with him made in synthesizer heaven. With ‘In The Heat Of Passion’ he serves sweet arpeggio sundae with lustful house vocals on the top and with ‘Dance Floor Beat’ he takes you back to ‘88 to a proper new beat party in Belgium. He collaborates with his label partner and longtime dj mate Soundbank as This Is 
Our Soundsystem on ‘Ziza In Space’, an ethereal cosmic trip with bubbling sounds & quirky synth flutes. Together they persuaded their slyly hesitant friend Aron Ya to do a track for TIOT already and as a result 'First Dog' was born, a crossbreed between a peak-time disco-extravaganza and jazzy jamming. These are our treats for the club season, save your pocket money and grab one!
