"Once upon a time, I dreamt I was a butterfly, fluttering hither and thither, to all intents and purposes a butterfly. I was conscious only of my happiness as a butterfly, unaware that I was myself. Soon I awaked, and there I was, veritably myself again. Now I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly, dreaming I am a man."

«روزی من در خواب دیدم که پروانه‌ای هستم. پروانه‌ای که این‌سو و آن‌سو می‌پرد، کاملاً غرق در شادی و آزادی، و هیچ چیز دیگری جز پروانه بودن را حس نمی‌کردم. هیچ آگاهی‌ای از خودم به‌عنوان انسان نداشتم. سپس از خواب بیدار شدم و دیدم که من خودم هستم، یک انسان. اکنون نمی‌دانم که آیا من یک انسانم که در خواب دیدم پروانه‌ هستم، یا پروانه‌ای هستم که اکنون خواب می‌بیند انسان است.»

MAAT PODCAST #008 - GESTALTWANDLER

[TABOO002]

The product of an intercontinental friendship and a shared love of unorthodox club music, Tehran’s Taboo Collective present a 4-track collaborative exploration of broken-beat techno from label boss gestaltwandler and prolific Australia-based producer Hedchef.

Releasing work from an artist outside of Iran is a first for Taboo - the collective play a crucial role in the Tehran underground both in releasing forward-thinking club music and organising joyous community-driven parties which remain, as the name suggests, ‘Taboo’ in day-to-day Iranian life.

Rhythmic patterns jerk and shift over sinister atmospheres and chest-rattling bass throughout ‘How The Tides Shift’. Hedchef’s cinematic and brooding opener ‘Seventeen Petty Afflictions’ builds tension over the course of six and a half minutes before gestaltwandler raises the tempo for snarling dancefloor obliterator ‘Certainty’.

Onto the remixes, where gestaltwandlers’s ‘Over-the-Counter’ mix of ‘SPA’ cranks up the suspense to anxiety-inducing levels as a soaring, acidic synth cuts through the fog. To finish off the release, Hedchef’s ‘Entrenched Scepticism’ mix of ‘Certainty’ harks back to his UK roots with dubstep-tinged halftime beat structures and persistent Reese bass chunk.

Released on June 27, ‘How the Tides Shift’ is an essential pack of envelope-pushing club tools for the next generation.
