Ø [PHASE] PRESENTS JAPANESE ARTIST, TORU KATSUTA. HIS SOPHMORE EP “INTERCONNECTA” IS OUT ON MODWERKS JUNE 23, 2O23 (VINYL & DIGITAL).

“I first encountered Toru upon exiting a Tokyo DJ booth one evening. He was waiting patiently to pass me a CD of his work along with a polite, handwritten note. The tracks had a uniqueness and an appealing futuristic feel, and thus a few of them became regular fixtures in my DJ sets” – Ø [Phase]

Not unlike Ø [Phase]’s own beginnings, and following in the footsteps of the great artists before him, Katsuta’s humble approach caught the attention of mainstay techno fixtures. In 2021, he released a remix on Matrixxman’s The Grid label for fellow up- and-coming artist Alarico. Despite being his first featured release, Katsuta’s music has already been circulating clubs and broadcasts around the globe.
Japanese artist Toru Katsuta returns on Ø [Phase]’s Modwerks label with six space trips to send minds into hyperdrive.

PREMIERE: Rethe - Non-Linear [DPVA002]

Conundrum Records is back for its third installment, presenting the sophmore release from label head Stephen Disario. The "When They Fall EP" showcases three original tracks alongside an exceptional remix by SYXT/Glukkon Records boss, Ketch. A long-standing and respected figure within the lively Los Angeles music scene, Stephen's signature stripped-back and pulsating sound takes center stage right from the outset. This EP further solidifies the burgeoning label's reputation as a distinguished hub for top-tier techno. 

Starting things off is "Filling The Void," a moody and otherworldly track with a rolling groove and sharp percussion. The echoing, almost chant-like pads wrap you in a mysterious atmosphere, creating a sense of curiosity and anticipation. 

The title track, "When They Fall," takes a more lively direction, driven by rhythmic percussion and spacey blips, along with a swelling bassline that adds extra depth and movement. 

The B side of the EP features Ketch's remix of "Sixth Sense," where urgent percussive elements blend over a steady low-end foundation, guided by a strong kick drum that pushes the track forward with unwavering determination. 

Bringing the release to a powerful conclusion is the original track "Sixth Sense," in which Stephen increases the energy, skillfully using ride cymbals and on-beat claps to highlight moments of high intensity. All of this is done while working within a more limited range of sounds, showcasing his ability to create captivating sonic stories within a controlled framework.

“Les Somnolentes” album, also known as “The Sleepy Ones,” marks the artist’s reemergence on the Mord label, following an acclaimed double LP “Les Malicieuses”. In perfect alignment with its title, the album surpasses the confines of traditional techno, pioneering a novel auditory trajectory.  Quelza’s distinctive sound creation and skilled production combine elements of breakbeat, IDM, and ambient music with pulsating, vibrant, and captivating techno sounds.

Crafted in early 2022, this collection of 11 tracks stands as a segment of a series of 30 compositions meticulously curated by the burgeoning French talent—a bold stride towards his inaugural album.
Challenging his creative bounds, he embarked on an audacious mission to stretch the horizons of his sonic realm within the expansive canvas of a full-length production. This endeavour led him to traverse the realms of cinematic soundscapes, liberating himself from the confines of the conventional ‘club-optimized’ structure. 

“Les Somnolentes” encapsulates a phase of introspection and uncertainty for the artist, a moment of contemplation about the contours of his musical identity and forthcoming releases. Deliberately deferred, the release underwent a time-tested trial, affirming the artist’s notion of paring down his output, redirecting his focus towards substantial undertakings with resounding artistic reverberations.
