Dream Horizons

Whirlwind Of Hearts

For this month's spiral sonic we've invited Prieste5s: electronic musician, live-coder, and visual artist based in Berlin. In her own productions, Prieste5s fuses versatile influences from across the genre spectrum - bass-heavy sounds, hypnotic techno elements, breakbeats, ambient, and experimental influences characterize her sonic palette. She takes her inspiration from a variety of different sources, and is passionate about experimentation in music and exploring the unexpected crossovers between different genres and different mediums.
Inspired by her fascination of the untouched wilderness, natural history, and geological exploration, Prieste5s’ sound is a synthesis of organic sound design and psychedelic atmospheres. Her music is an expression of the transience of experience, and the ephemerality of the natural world.

Toupaz returns to Control Freak with a 4 track EP of intricate club weapons.

‘Unwind & Dissolve Gently’ showcases the Graz-based artist’s distinctive production flair - one which has developed in style and sophistication since his last outing on CF in 2022 as Awo Ojiji with subsequent releases via Well Street, Grid and Danielle’s Soft Raw imprint.

This collection draws heavy influence from the rich history of the UK scene - from the dubstep-leaning lurch of ‘Ramshackle’ to the introspective electronica of closing track ‘Whats The Mass of Memory?’

Balancing a delicate and subtle sense of melody and restraint with blunt force moments of controlled aggression, Toupaz’s precision sound engineering is guaranteed to send any discerning dancefloor into a frenzy - perfect for those explosive mid-set left turns.

Tracklist:

Routine
Ramshackle
Schlieren
Unwind & Dissolve Gently

PREMIERE: Toupaz - Schlieren [Control Freak Recordings]

Dublin-based producer Conor Reilly, better known as Conor CC, inaugurates his own imprnt Origin CC with a high-octane debut single titled ‘Hidden Allure’...Clocking in at a brisk 130 BPM, ‘Hidden Allure’ carefully layers gauzy pads over hyper-stratified percussion, threading polyrhythms through syncopated vocal phantoms and bass-heavy convulsions. 'Hidden Allure' sits between the heady euphoria of peak-hour memory and the introspective murk of pre-dawn reverie.

Today marks the launch of Uncloud Editions, a new imprint by Uncloud Festival co-founder, composer, producer, and sound artist Skander Jaïbi. To inaugurate the label, Jaïbi releases his debut album 'Who has the right to closure?'...A standout piece from the album is the opening track: a ghostly transmission, like a crackled PA system echoing in suspended sorrow. Pensive choral motifs float amid textured electroacoustic layers, evoking the spectral presence of The Caretaker and the psychoacoustic delicacy of Félicia Atkinson. With this release, Jaïbi sculpts silence and sound into something deeply affecting.

Aura Sonora return with a second release to follow up the fantastic first one, this time it brings together two meticulous studio craftsmen, DYL & Tammo Hesselink. Their 'Moire Patterns' EP kicks off with 'Pattern 1', a deep and rhythmic slice of rubbery techno that rides broken beats with atmospheric pulses up top. 'Pattern 2 slows down to a predatory crawl with icy pads making for a dystopian vibe then 'Pattern 3' brings a sense of mystic tribal ritual deep in some futuristic jungle and 'Pattern 4' closes down with more fantastically crafted, dubby, broken rhythms that are topped with organic percussion and almost impossible not to move to. Pure rhythm science brilliance.

An excursion into the lesser-known territories of the Asian musical landscape, 'Ragom (Various Artists)' is the latest release from Bangkok’s enigmatic @siamesetwinsrecords. Ahead of its release, the premiere spotlight falls on Kiss Nuka’s 'Taabiir', a word that translates to “deeper interpretation (of dreams)” in Urdu. 

True to its name, the track channels Kiss Nuka's mystical insight and raw emotion through a hypnotic variation of vocal percussion, reminiscent of konakkol, the rhythmic vocal tradition of Carnatic music. Fractured beats move in procession while ghostly tones dance around them, never fully landing. Kiss Nuka constructs a sonic ecology where boundaries dissolve between inner and outer, past and present. Taabiir doesn’t demand attention; it quietly draws you in.

Live from Berlin on NTS INT June 28 2016

As a producer, DJ & label owner Cosmin Nicolae’s dedication to developing a rich and wholly personal artistic landscape provides the driving force behind one of dance music’s most unique & industrious individuals.

Opening the door on Hessle Audio over a decade ago - an outlet that has gone on to become a defining voice within electronic music in the 21st Century, Nicolae’s list of affiliations reads like a who’s who of top tier contemporary dance music record labels. Appearances on Amsterdam’s Rush Hour and Gerd Janson’s Running Back, as well as a brace of singles alongside LP’s Gordian and Simulat on the now defunct 50 Weapons - not to mention work for Semantica and Bleep, have cemented Cosmin TRG deep in the psyche of the ever shifting amoeba that is the dance music zeitgeist.

In many ways, what lies at the heart of Nicolae’s work - beyond the extraordinary pairing of high end sound design and club functionality, is an innate ability to bind his discography - to create a streamlined sonic vision without compromise, one that moves with purpose and vigour outwards to explore in depth structures that exist on the very periphery of House & Techno, Ambient & experimental electronics - but maintain a unique and recognisable finish. Few artists could boast a discography that marries 2016’s ubiquitous In Your Body, an anthemic spoken- word-meets-Tool-Techno leviathan released via Nicolae’s own club-focused Sportiv outlet, with Semnal - a gloriously executed LP of shifting, otherworldly Experimental music delivered under the artist’s given name via the Opal Tapes label.

Cult concept missive Hope This Finds You Well, Nicolae’s 2019 reflection on corporate culture furthers this same dichotomy - a stunning wide-angle Ambient LP on Fizic - the label operated by the artist as a home to more conceptual iterations, that followed hot on the footsteps of a remix for Bpitch founder Ellen Alien & the fourth instalment on Sportiv - both offerings heady club constructions in their own right.

On the road, both DJ sets and live performances mirror this healthy sentiment - with Nicolae as comfortable on main stages showcasing his take on hyper-modern propulsive Techno, as he is presenting the low slung avant-garde preoccupations of his more leftfield alias’. There’s the constant feeling that both these practices feed back into one another, and that from each respective vantage point, Cosmin TRG is able to make the kind of dynamic & intuitive artistic decisions that few can - keeping his work fresh & current without concession - ceding to his own desire to further his vision as a creator of sonic abstraction without losing sight of the dance floor.
