Lloyd Stellar x FRANCOIS DILLINGER - Destiny > Gravity EP

After building up a head of steam on labels such as Craigie Knowes and Rotterdam Electronix in the past couple of years, Larionov debuts on Sheffield's Central Processing Unit with the Space Threat EP. Larionov's previous releases have shown off a musical sensibility which is both schooled in classic electro stylings and also able to reach for leftfield sonics in a way which sets the producer apart from the pack. It's a vibe that continues into this record, a quartet of busy electro joints which are characterised by a brooding, neurotic energy.

The opening title-track is precisely the sort of thing which would soundtrack a voyage to the outer-edges of the solar system. 'Space Threat' is a nervy, restless bit of machine-funk, the track moving forward at a midtempo which manages to be at once steady and slightly fidgety. The beat skitters and swerves, a perpetual-motion machine of minor-key bass, strange modular flutters and thwacking snares. All of this is draped in icy washes of keyboard - think Drexciya if they blasted into outer space rather than delving deep down in the ocean.

'Asteroid Attack' works from the same blueprint for 'Space Threat' but ratchets up the intensity a little to take the track to another galaxy. It's still powered by a livewire neurosis, all piston-sharp drums and whirligig synth percussion. However, an increased tempo, strangely poignant keyboard lines and little snatches of vocoder-drenched vocals turn 'Asteroid Attack' in the direction of modern practitioners like Cardopusher and CPU homie Silicon Scally.

Opening up the EP's B-side, 'Flying High' finds a midpoint between its predecessors, returning to the steadier pace and twitchy vibe of 'Space Threat' but maintaining 'Asteroid Attack's single-note counter-melodies and digified vocals - although here the ghostly treatment on the voice makes for a hugely eerie atmosphere. Around the four-minute mark, the track peels back the veil of synth pads and wobbling keys stabs to turn the attention wholly to the rhythm section, a choice which feels like taking a stiff drink in order to redouble your energy for the next part of the night.

'Vimana Ride' runs with 'Flying High's approach to see Space Threat out in style. There's something to the digital vocal sighs that make up the melody of this cut which gives things a really uncanny quality - it's the kind of sonic choice that Sadboys producers like Yung Gud and Yung Sherman would make, but applied wholly to the service of crafting body-popping, acid-tinged electro.

Larionov arrives on Central Processing Unit with an EP of anxiously excellent electro experiments.

Release Info :

Plant43 - Luminous Machines [Plant43 Recordings // PLANT43013LP]

Luminous Machines, the eighth album by UK based Emile Facey recording under his Plant43 alias, is made up of eight dancefloor tracks and eight cinematic interludes all of which are inspired by visits overseas to play live in 2023.

Emile: “The eight dancefloor tracks were all written just before gigs at Tresor in Berlin, for their new electro focussed event, Aquabahn, and the Drift Festival in Nijmegen, which happened on a very hot, sunny day in June. For some reason I’m always inspired to write new material immediately before a gig. I find it’s a good way to capture how I’m feeling in that moment and there’s something both cathartic and inspiring about playing a new track live, knowing it didn’t exist a few days beforehand. Once home in the studio, I completed eight of these new tracks to form the core of the album.

The cinematic interludes which make up the rest of the album came about during the same trip to Berlin In April 2023. I arrived for a gig at Tresor with a whole day to spare and there was an atmosphere in the city that I felt compelled to capture. It was a warm but grey and rainy day, the neon lights glowing faintly in the mist as people rushed from door-to-door under umbrellas, trams were quietly gliding in and out of an elevated station platform while various other smaller vehicles busily scurried around the entrance to a giant shopping mall just outside the window of my compact hotel room...

(...)

When I was back home I realised that I had 16 tracks that worked together as a whole. I’d experimented before with putting short beatless tracks on my electro records, adding a bit more atmosphere, and my instinct was to put them all on the double vinyl edition. However, having just played at some events where DJs were playing vinyl, I wanted these records to be DJ friendly. The solution I landed on was to create two different versions of the album, the eight dancefloor tracks on the vinyl and the cinematic interludes completing the sixteen track digital, cinematic edition. Clocking in at an hour long, together they form my soundtrack to those Luminous Machines I was dreaming of in Berlin.”

Every Bandcamp order comes with Luminous Machines holographic sticker.

TL PREMIERE : Plant43 - Alternative Engines [Plant43 Recordings]

The 11th release on Curtis Electronix comes from one of the most influential figures in the history of electro. Infinite Tetraspace EP is a mind-altering combination of ambient beauties, ice cold machine-funk and spaced out 4/4 kickers that play with the concept of space and time, as expressed almost clearly in the title. 
Four next level cuts that push their electro even more into the future. 
We are very much glad they are back.

Infinite Tetraspace

Dopplereffekt - Infinite Tetraspace EP (CRTSX011)

Cultivated Electronics starts off its 2024 release schedule with an all electro family affair from father and son duo The Advent and Zein Ferreira. ''Elektronically Minded EP'' is the first of two releases scheduled on the label from them this year. For this first instalment the pair turn in two tracks of expertly crafted production that pays homage to the history of the genre with their own modern twist. The A side's ''Basic Channeling'' is given remix treatment from Robert Witchoski a.k.a. The Exaltics who steps up the gears with a 4/4-esqe rework in his signature style. To close out the EP, remix duty stays in the family with a rework of ''Syncopated'', a track that features on the next EP, nephew of Cisco and cousin of Zein, Torai, who shows that high end electro production definitely runs in the veins of the Ferreira family.
