Echelon - Intact Code [Lazy Reflex Complex // LRCINDEX003]

Echelon takes you on a trip into the core of subterranean techno. Starting in the ominous vacuum of ambient, Intact Code transitions to droning house, to finally arrive at the nerve-wrecking rhythms for which the pioneer is known for.

The journey of Intact Code is conspicuous, while its destination is clear.

Having his roots in the 90s, the Dutchman Jeroen Search is a veteran in the underground electronic-music scene. As an inspiration for artists along the full spec­trum, he is a delicacy for techno connoisseurs. Jeroen is recognized for his progressive consistency, but always crossing the front lines of musical inventionality. Within his Echelon alias he pushes his experimental boundaries by mixing satellite sensor data from outer space with his trademark of uncompromising techno. Together with Amsterdam based Lazy Reflex Complex, Jeroen Search releases an album honoring his legacy while surprising his audience with vibrations from other galaxies.

The Hacker @the-hacker and Italo Moderni join forces with a masterful electro EP, guided by the French G.O.A.T. from Grenoble. Infused with techno vibes and featuring a remix by the renowned @terence-fixmer Terence Fixmer, this EP is a testament to the cutting-edge fusion of styles. Drawing inspiration from Liaisons Dangereuses, The Hacker weaves intricate basslines and rhythms, exemplified in the track ‘No Señor.’ ‘Me and My Sequencer Part 1 and Part 2’ unveils a clandestine narrative, a hidden tale shared only between The Hacker and his synthesizers—revealing the magical connection cultivated over the years

This month's mix comes from Glasgow-based DJ and producer, Scott McKay, aka https://soundcloud.com/fear-e Scott run the 'Posh End Music' label.

Fear-E's music, to me at least, is raw, jacking, acid-fueled, twisted that is delivered with a bang. One of my personal favorites is 'Bouncing Out Of The Dark' on Dame Music. But so many more to check out. 

He has released his own original material on Dixon Avenue Basement Jams/Don't Be Afraid/Hilltown Disco/Dark Entries/Super Rhythm Trax/Takeout/Zone/Avoidant/Street Tracks/Dame-Music/Co-Accused/Outerworld/Das Booty. His productions have been supported by several artists including Dave Clarke, Ben Sims, Paul Woolford, Skream, Leftfield, and Andrew Weatherall.

He delivers a no-compromising banging techno mix but yet has quite a unique style. Play loud and enjoy!

Premiere: JK Flesh - Human Nature (Reeko Remix)

Datashader emerges from the shadows with a striking breaks- and bass-heavy debut release that challenges the fabric of our digital existence. Replete with a Dopplereffekt remix, it nods to the legacy of revered anonymous acts such as Scopex, Drexciya and Underground Resistance, pushing the boundaries of both electronic music exploration and its conceptual underpinnings. As a critique of the erosion of genuine human connection in the digital age, Datashader delivers a barrage of billowing subs, infectious electro, recontextualized jungle, and techno, serving as a poignant counterbalance to current dance floor-centric norms. It's a contemporary anti-soundtrack that offers a haunting mirror to the societal costs of technological convenience. 

In a world engulfed by the digital realm, where social media platforms thrive and dominate every aspect of our lives, the enigmatic project known as Datashader was founded to reflect on the pervasive erosion of authentic human connection through various virtual realities.

Artistically, Datashader seeks to critique the impact of technology on human identity and relationships, breaking with an archetype of digital conformity and expressing a profound disillusionment with the superficiality of online interactions through music. Genuine human connection and art cannot be quantified by likes, comments, or followers but rather thrives in the visceral realm of shared sonic experience and human emotion. This idea is at the core idea of Datashader, whose artistic expression ranges from avant-garde composition and electronic experimentations to art, installation, film and more.

Expressed within the varied contexts of diverse artistic mediums, Datashader explores the concept of "technological gentrification", which describes the gradual displacement of human interaction by technology. Just as gentrification alters the urban landscape, driving out communities and cultures, digital gentrification transforms the social landscape, replacing genuine connection with curated online personas. 

Musically, Datashader's practice confronts this dystopian reality, highlighting the alarming consequence of people becoming mere nodes in a network, reduced to a collection of data points. This is manifested sonically by a blistering assault of breaks, recontextualized IDM, abstract electronics and otherworldly synthscapes, conceived as the aesthetic counterbalance to much of contemporary electronic music's dancefloor focus. 

Datashader dives deep into genres and influences which stand for a form of sonic resistance: A contemporary anti- soundtrack &ndash; a sonic mirror of the price we pay for convenience and instant gratification. A self-image in constant flux. No false technological idols.

Premiere: Kerrie - Ode To The D

Spain is the home country of many of the best Techno figures in the planet today. Straight from Cadiz, we proudly introduce the magnificent music from DSNGDMANN, who delivered a powerful ep called "The Hidden Problem In Theory", with 4 original tracks and a remix by Lakej.

"Test Phase" sets the stage with its intriguing title and distinctive sound. The bass can be compared to a helicopter taking off, while the mid hi section resembles an intergalactic storm. This dynamic and intense opening, promises an adventurous journey ahead. 

"Response" continues the mesmerizing voyage established by the album's opener, with its simple yet captivating elements. The blippy melody adds an enchanting quality, drawing listeners deeper into the music's hypnotic allure. The punchy bass once again provides a strong foundation, driving the track forward with its infectious energy.

"Stormhead" emerges as a captivating and enigmatic track, weaving an enthralling sonic tapestry that beckons listeners into its mysterious depths. The title itself evokes a sense of turbulence and intensity. The pads create tension and the feeling you are forever trapped in this track.

"The Hidden Problem In Theory," as the title track, seems to carry a weighty significance within the album's narrative. The juxtaposition of heavy kick bass with pads resembling a saw creates a sense of contrast.  The straightforward nature of the track suggests a clear and direct approach to addressing this hidden problem, allowing listeners to confront it head-on through the power of music.

The "Response (Lakej Remix)" introduces a fresh perspective on the original track, infusing it with a new energy and dynamic flair.The tribal elements evoke a primal and hypnotic atmosphere, transporting listeners to an otherworldly realm where the pulse of the beat reverberates through their very bein.

At midnight, on March 13th 1991, a basement door opened at Leipziger Strasse 126, Berlin. Through this door, many passed, on their way to defining new terrains in electronic music. There they found a dance floor in the vaults of a closed-down department store, with a unique sound bound to dense fog, building night after night a history that was also a vision of the future. 

This history has seen in Jeff Mills’ first sets on three turntables, Underground Resistance's first live appearances in Europe, grandiose Tresor Park parties, to various chapters of the Loveparade with Sven Väth in the 90s and since then countless generation-spanning parties. These moments represent the highlights of infinite personal clubbing experiences. It is the manifestation of the Berlin spirit, emerging from its considerable strife. This history is not without its complications - from temporary closure by the authorities and several raids in the early years to closure and demolition of the old location in 2005. What followed was years of wandering in exile and, finally, resurrection in the new home in Kraftwerk Berlin.

These stories, conversations and shared experiences within our walls forge a resilience that drives towards a shared ideal, the Tresor sound: community, resistance, and the world to come. This was observed in the newly re-unified German youth, who danced and celebrated together from the club’s inception, and into the present day through ongoing community work in Detroit. 

Tresor Records was founded in the same year and began to serve as a platform for exporting the new sounds associated with Tresor all around the world. Emergent musicians from Michigan, such as Juan Atkins, Underground Resistance and Drexciya, were pivotal in shaping these early years. Their visits to Berlin would kick-start dialogue between the youth movement in Europe and these musicians. This story is one of friendship and community-building, inextricably linked with cities like Detroit, Birmingham or Edinburgh, where like-minded friends built something truly special, where revelatory rhythms soundtrack decaying industry in corrupted metropoles. 

Tresor Records has been the fertile soil for dozens upon dozens of creative minds, from the very luminaries of the scene who developed electronic music over the last three decades through to contemporary protagonists who are currently defining the sound of the future -  A more than 300 strong catalogue displays an unmistakable identity - the Tresor spirit.

To those that have danced before, and to those that will dance in the future: the light at the end of the long Tresor tunnel is a signal. A flicker amidst the fog. This is our future. This is our place.
