I was kindly asked by the amazing VST/Plug-In creators Arturia to make a track utilising the new version of Pigments in return for being laced up with a copy and the new complete Arturia V Collection (which has been an absolute must for me for ages - beautifully made and almost impossible to tell the difference VST re-makes of some of the greatest hardware synths in history)

I thought I'd get cocky and make an entire track purely using Pigments - I enjoy limitations, but this was not a limitation; Pigment's is so insanely versatile while also being wide open, nothing hidden so idea to sound to composition was extremely free and exciting.

I used 9 instances of Pigments for this track, no external effects as the effects and modulation you can link up in Pigments is incredible - I highly recommend to fans of Vital, Serum & Massive - this takes things a step further in every way.

As for the track itself I went with a pretty raw 'minimal but confusing' approach - taking a lot of influence from Grime, Dancehall & Techstep DnB and a slight bit of footwork - I often enjoy runnning different sequences in different timings e.g. kicks in triplets, snares in dotted, and delays, reverbs & LFO's all in different speeds of the above - while not a complex track by any means it's proof that you can create a pretty hoofing and mentally engaging track with purely one synth and a few simple tricks

I'm hugely against Hardware Fetishism and hate how electronic music (music as a whole) is becoming an art form for the privaleged - you don't need anything but ideas and great and affordable software.

For entry number 12 in the PPRZ Podcast series, we have a mix from Calgary's @mother-mary-yyc.

Mother Mary (she/they) is Alex Naylor, a second-generation settler living in Mohkinstsis, Treaty 7 territory (currently-named Calgary, Alberta). She mixes elements of UK bass, breaks, emotionally-charged techno, and dark 2-step, always with one eye on the dance floor.

When not in the rave, you can find her co-hosting The Lighthouse on CJSW 90.9FM or planning immersive audiovisual dance experiences with the Radiate crew. In the daytime hours she leads a small but mighty clinic providing mental health and addiction services to folks in Calgary.

Kid Kun - Midnight Clip Showreel - Out Now

The fifth transmission on BRUK comes from Chewlie, a breakthrough artist from Switzerland adept at sculpting tense, sharply defined atmospheres with eerie amounts of space and dreadful amounts of bass. Following up on her 2022 Creature LP for YUKU, this eight-track deep dive explores nervous hallways of dislocated rhythm with a UK soundsystem attitude and a subtle but striking approach to sound design.
 
In contrast with the strident melodic tones of Creature, Chewlie demonstrates her versatility as a sonic artist (alongside her established work as a graphic designer). Understated moodiness is the key here, resulting in powerful heads-down immersion heaters with stand-out moments to make the floor fall in line amidst meditative, patient pauses in between. In the field of leftfield dubwise club music, Chewlie’s voice strikes out with purpose and poise, slotting into the firmament of BRUK as another natural misfit in the many-sided bassweight landscape.

Tras la publicación de "NO UNIT" y "d-Drive" en dos cortes de la quinta referencia de NPR, estamos emocionados de anunciar el lanzamiento de "UNIT", el primer EP de ellian.

"UNIT" es una obra de referencia del artista, resultado de un periodo introspectivo que da lugar a una potente amalgama de electrónica downtempo. La naturaleza líquida e inmaterial del EP se manifiesta en sonidos mutantes de glitch, percusiones metálicas, cristal, ritmo y melodía que invitan a sumergirse en el espacio sonoro. Brutal y delicado, "UNIT" muestra todas las facetas de ellian, navegando desde el ambient y el downtempo hasta el bass y techno.

"A8", el primer sencillo del EP, ya está disponible con la preventa en Bandcamp. El lanzamiento completo de "UNIT" en todas las plataformas de streaming será el 25 de octubre.

The liquid and immaterial nature of the EP is manifested in mutant glitch sounds, metallic percussions, crystal, rhythm, and melody that invite you to immerse yourself in the sonic space. Brutal yet delicate, "UNIT" showcases all facets of ellian, navigating from ambient and downtempo to bass and techno.

"A8," the EP's first single, is now available for pre-order on Bandcamp. The full release of "UNIT" on all streaming platforms will be on October 25th.

🇬🇧 
High-energy, dark electro driven by a thick, pulsating bass and sharp, futuristic synths. The track blends classic electro elements with a cyberpunk atmosphere – fast-paced rhythm, cold precision, and relentless electronic intensity. Perfect for fans of raw, dynamic sound and the pulse of the neon city at night.

🇵🇱
Energetyczne, mroczne electro napędzane pulsującym, gęstym basem i ostrymi, futurystycznymi syntezatorami. Utwór łączy klasyczne brzmienia gatunku z cyberpunkową atmosferą – szybki rytm, chłodna precyzja i intensywna elektronika, która nie daje chwili wytchnienia. Idealny dla fanów surowego, dynamicznego dźwięku i nocnych miejskich wibracji.
