[SUARA432] Uncertain - Resistance (Coyu Remix)

OECUS Premiere // Roberto Clementi

Extract from "Archive 3 part three" - @adroitmusic
Release date: 16th September 2022

Zurich's finest exporter of Techno - Adroit Recordings continue to keep the pressure up with the next instalment of their VA series 'Archive'. This is the 3rd chapter - an addition that will tear through sound systems as savagely as it's predecessors as an assemblage of artists from all over Europe come together. 

First up is A R T S and Hypercolour affiliate Roberto Clementi who kicks the project off to a rugged start. His track 'Agonia On Path' drives a stony, burnt-out kick hurtles through congas and a rhythmic whine. Frazzled hats and darting delayed signals fly overhead as the track bleeds in and out of focus in a manner that will continually wake up the dance floor. 

Next up is Italian duo Asymptote with their quick and effective offering 'The Dawn' which unfolds like a live jam. Percussion steadily leaks in and thickens as volumes, filters and FX are manually handled in a manner akin to early Skudge. Fellow Italians Exilles then follow up with the rich and mysterious 'Nextar'. A mesmerising synth melody flickers in amongst bit crushed strings and reverberated claps as a heaving kick is deftly bought in and out of the mix. 

Next is the Berlin based, Dutch producer Esther Dune. She follows up a string of releases dating back as far as 2009 with the manic and electrifying 'T- (minus) Ten’. Eye-widening, razor sharp riffs are set rebounding off each other while a straight 4/4 bangs against the walls demonstrating the unassailable skills of a consummate professional. 

Next up is Aurora with the intricate and progressive 'Snake Pit' which unfurls in chapters consisting of mangled digital frequencies, iron-clad percussive elements and horror-movie synth lines. Newcomer Unconformist follows up and doesn't hang about with his 'Enter The Void'; a fast and exhilarating cruise into orbit which is propelled by whetted drums and rich melodies. 

Zurich bases Dicanio then weighs in with 'Samba Distortion' which offers up bright and expressive drums and a rubbery kick that are set galloping with rushing urgency under a dystopian vocal sample before Kyiv based Incorrect Waves offers up 'Scissors 1991'. Here - rough, fizzing drums career through alarming stabs and an elasticated synth FX which nestle it into the comp nicely and bring it to a suitably raucous close.

01: Fidget
02: Confusion
03: Destroy DNA

The Glaswegian producer will contribute another EP to Second State this Autumn, cementing his place as a regular contributor on the Berlin label. ‘Confusion’ EP contains three warped, high-energy cuts from McKay, a style that has grown synonymous with his name in the techno world.

First track ‘Fidget’ opens heavy on the bass with a chopped up vocal loop that builds and gives way to clacking percussion. He switches up pitch and effects throughout to build intensity, letting all elements crash over each other at intervals. There’s a chugging vibe to the cut, with a pulsating bassline that creates serious depth. The sample orbits repeatedly, with the interruption of a sharper vocal slicing across and layering upon itself.

Next up is ‘Confusion’, skipping forward with vigor and volatile keys. Bustling arrangements charge the energy of the track with relentless hi-hats creating a tense and anxious mood. The booming kick drum echoes ferociously throughout whilst twisted melodies writhe and build, at moments drenched in distortion. Listeners are left unknowing of what’s to come as the relentless kick is halted by momentary breaks and turns.

Rounding off is club primed cut ‘Destroy DNA’. Similarly to the previous track, the direction is switched up at any moment. Airy pads create a celestial feeling that maintains a lightness despite the heavy kick. They phase in and out throughout to let key arrangements shine through, adding a harder but grooving effect to the pad-heavy journey.

Italian duo Subradeon team up with Radio Slave’s Rekids to deliver four illuminating cuts entitled ‘Walking Through Motown EP’.

Beginning their musical journey in Southern Italy over a decade ago, the now Berlin-based duo Subradeon have been building steady momentum by releasing a handful of EPs on Detroit’s Motech Records, trau-ma and their own Subradeon Records label. Gradually honing their soulful productions with an emphasis on
Detroit techno – the duo quickly caught the attention of Rekids label boss Radio Slave. They now join the reputable Berlin imprint with ‘Walking Through Motown EP’, closing the label’s 2018 to follow lauded releases from Sebo K, Markus Suckut, P.Leone, SRVD, Nocow, and many more accomplished names.

‘Walking Through Motown (Part 1)’ is an uplifting track with mesmerising leads and swirling synths combining to create ethereal atmospheres before ‘Walking Through Motown (Part 2) offers beautifully resonating kicks, undulating chord progression and melodious synth flutters. On the flip, ‘The Law Is Spiritual’ maintains the symphonious spectacle balancing inspiriting vocals, rattling percussion and a weighty bassline whilst ‘We Will Still Resist’ employs fluid drums, looping piano keys and euphoric elements to finish.

The new Intec release is from Carl Bee who previously made an impact on the label in 2018 with his EP titled Untifight.

Carl Bee is based in Malta and over numerous years of DJing at many top clubs and events in the region, he has established himself as one of the countrys most respected underground talents

His releases on Intec represent the techno-focused part of his style, but something of a chameleon he has an eclectic sound, also boasting releases on highly respected labels such as Green & Saved Records.

Rumble opens the release with snare rolls that give it an upbeat party vibe, but its defining feature is the spinning LFO of the lead synth that dominates the tracks captivating breakdowns. Terrace party techno at its best, the tracks summery vibe is full of energy, making it a certified party starter.

Taking us deeper is the tech house influenced Lamination thats percussive groove has a tribal feel to the free-flowing rhythms. Vibrant textures add to the tracks high energy as well as the vocal phrases behind its title.
