DFA Archived Selections (2018-2020) created weekly as an alternate history of new release Friday - part 3

After stellar releases on Ilian Tape and Nostro Hood System among others, Mutualism represents the much-awaited return of Atrice on their own label Miras. The follow-up EP reflects the culmination of a year-long exploration of compositional techniques and sound design, and acts as a first step towards a debut album. The result is a complete work, divided into eight chapters, that applies previous artistic research on textures, harmonics and rhythms in a rigorous yet playful manner. Whilst continuing to touch upon a broad spectrum of uptempo reference points, Mutualism offers a first glimpse into the pairs underlying pliancy next to the ever-present intricate complexities in their output.

That's all, hasta abajo!

Mutualism

MIRAS002 | ATRICE - MUTUALISM

Driven by a mad ambition to establish themselves as key players on the Parisian Bass and Break scene, they called on a hand-picked selection of the scene's flourishing artists for their very first Various Artist. The compilation, featuring 11 club weapons with both mystical and incisive vibes, reflects the eclecticism dear to the Craquages project.

Grrlsss’ member and Toulouse-based artist 130E0A is passionate about musical identities that easily jump over aesthetic borders. Mixing bass music, hard dance, hip-hop, and jungle, as well as being influenced by ambient and trip-hop culture, 130E0A keeps in mind two essential aspects of every festive and musical experience : hip moves and spiritual permanence. Their productions, created in the shadows of their home, perfectly fit with their wild DJ sets, in which deconstructed rhythms and massive bass mingle with more poetic strands of dream and light.

Méridienne : Juna XXL (26.05.24)

For the 11th episode of Time to heal, I'm delighted to welcome Zurich-based sound artist Jamira Estrada. Her sound work blends different textures allowing an intimate approach to her universe. With softness she invites with ‘Striving for Light’, through a journey of poetical gestures, that showcase her fascination for electroacoustic music. 

For an hour, you're invited to be transported upwards through a series of landscapes that will allow you to rediscover yourself.

DSF - Alpha 

Alpha is the beginning of something big. The meeting of music and computer science, straddling art and brutality. The very introduction to a vibrant palette of dub. 

Composer/Mix/Mastering : DSF 

Alpha

Taken from the forthcoming album "Printemps-Ete" on In Paradisum, to be released April 11 2016.


After a couple of EPs, qoso reveals his first LP on In Paradisum, a label he joined in 2013 for the Like It Soft EP he cosigned with Low Jack. Charlie Janiaut opens up a third way between physical energy and experiments on sound textures. The producer originally from Franche Comté has dusted his fingers on battle scratch and his playing with computer is totally instinct driven. Playing techno from the viewpoint of rap music, qoso’s music is entirely based on samples and feeds on mistakes, frequency translation and a piling up of effects leaving space to randomness. The tracks on Printemps Ete were composed all at once and speak more to the body than the head - they’re rhythm tracks as stated by Emotional, which opens the record where most electronic albums like to put a nice ambient track. After being compared to Blawan or Levon Vincent by Resident Advisor, qoso is now leaving most references points behind with a syncopated sound that puts some fun into the raw.

Qoso -  Peaches N Cream

Brainchild of Multi Culti A&R, Sascha Funke and Niklas Wandt were introduced by Dreems, who charted a course for the seasoned Berlin-based producer and funky multi-percussionist and singer. 

Wandt was just about to enter the scene forcefully with his collaborative 2LP with Wolf Müller and the debut single of his band Neuzeitliche Bodenbeläge. In the icey cold of his warehouse rehearsal space, Funke had him record a variety of slapped, bowed and scratched percussions (congas, talking drum, prepared cymbals played with a bass bow) over his tracks. These first efforts were later expanded into joint sessions at Sascha's home studio and, within a few weeks, the journey reached it’s destination: Wibe strasse, Deutschland.

At first glance, they seem an odd couple: a techno veteran of almost thirty years meets a side-burned upstart socialized in Free Jazz and Krautrock. but the shared sonic influences come through in the hypnotic, dubbed-out sound, perhaps rooted in the close connection the two share to the Rheinland region in West Germany, Funke as part of the Kompakt family and Wandt by origin and socialization in the Cologne and Düsseldorf music scene centered around the Salon des Amateurs. Regional flavours, global appeal. Multi Culti, promoting local collaboration, one freaky record at a time.

Sascha Funke & Niklas Wandt - Lobotomie

So, then we have Vina Konda's solid debut EP. Vina Konda's productions use club weapons to translate his vision of efficiency. Zinkala is some dubby reflections with breaks timestretched, elemental pads, bass/sub tensions, phasing voices and a curious passion of marimba's solo... 
After his first apparition under WVRXRVW on Nous Disques Records's Various, he takes off and burst into his mind to connect his propositions. 
Highly recommended with pills to fall/fail in love on the dancefloor !
