Taken from 'Deserted / Reclaimed'(G&P015), out September 16, 2020

With a handful of releases out on various pioneering imprints (including longplays RISC Chip and Meme Booth via Conditional Records or the latest contribution to the groove series by Warsaw based label outlines), the producer, programmer and live-coder Mike Hodnick is one of the leading figures representing a movement of computer-centred music production, recently labeled as algorave. Since we are devoted fans for quite some time, the Platonic's are proud to present Mike Hodnick´s latest project under the prolific Kindohm alias - 'Deserted / Reclaimed'.
Sequenced live on a drum machine, the diptych stretches across four vast sonic plains, bounded by curvy dunes formed by countless TidalCycles code bits, constantly pouring over like the grains of scorching and shiny sand. Full of paradoxical rhythm twists planted into the ever-bending landscape, Deserted / Reclaimed reads as a fragmented and sometimes petrifying ride towards the chaotic percepts of the monumental surroundings, dissolving in the thermal inversion somewhere far on the horizon.

Release Info :

John Lord Fonda - Titanium EP [A-Traction Records 059]

John Lord Fonda is back !

The new opus of a French techno veteran, who has distinguished in the past on Vitalic's label, Citizen Records. After 2 albums with his crazy "Personnal Jesus" remix, he comes back on A-traction records.

The French producer, has always skillfully mixed Rave sounds and dark melodies. With this Ep, we can find all his influences.
"Fear of the unknown" comes in 2 versions with devastating kicks and hypnotic vocals, the first one with its ultra saturated bass line takes us directly back to the 90's while the second version is a concentrate of explosive acid for the dance floor.
"The Oxcart", with percussive groove, it takes us back to a more stratospheric but no less effective fly !

John Lord Fonda is back with what he knows how to do best: efficient techno with a chiseled production and sharp melodies to accompany this chaotic end of 2020.

Tracklist : 
01. John Lord Fonda - Fear of the unknown (Moogy Mix)
02. John Lord Fonda - Fear of the unknown (Acidic Mix)
03. John Lord Fonda - The Oxcart

Titanium EP

Fear Of The Unknown (Acidic Mix)

TL Premiere : John Lord Fonda - Fear Of The Unknown (Acidic Mix) [A-Traction Records]

Czech dream-pop / indie-folk duo @teepeeband share a new music video of the song ‘Closer’ together with new techno remix of the song from @affects. 

The video is an audio-visual poem directed and shot by Tomáš Koucký and his team from Old & Rich Production that tells a story about proximity. The idea of the music video was initiated by the 30 years celebration of Garden Architecture Kurz. Koucký wanted to honour the outstanding work of the garden architect Aleš Kurz and pay a tribute to the beautiful places that he created in Prague. The story is set in the magical gardens of Zbraslav, well known Celtic cemetery in Dolní Břežany, and the rooftop garden of the famous “DRN” building in the city centre of Prague, all designed by Kurz. The video stars Barbora Hankeová and Šimon Bilina.

 

"This spring, in the strange quarantine time, we approached our favourite duo teepee and created this audio-visual poem. I hope and believe that together with their intimate song ‘closer’ it will inspire people so that this year's social distancing is only a temporary affair and we can meet soon without masks. Funnily enough, I am writing this on the first day of my upcoming 10 days quarantine... I am fascinated by the final form of the music video and I am curious what the response will be among its viewers. This is actually the first time that I’ve created a music video, from the theme to its final form.” says Koucký.

“The song ‘Closer’ is about love but not necessarily a romantic one. The kind of love that is always there to guide you back home when you are losing yourself. It is about proximity and relationships with people who are always there for you, no matter what happens.” adds the band.

An On Bast - The Bond [Awesome Soundwave] [MI4L.com]

The first single from Frederik Valentin's '0011001'

https://frederikvalentin-poshisolation.bandcamp.com/album/0011001

Posh Isolation is proud to present the latest work from Copenhagen's quietly iconoclastic artist Frederik Valentin. Arriving in two halves, '0011001' & '0011000' together transport a suite of songs and compositions that render life's beauty in the same breath as life's binding determinations.

'0011001' is the first element of this twofold work, and it features Fine Glindvad, best known as the vocalist of the group Chinah, and the Copenhagen-based American vocalist Jeuru, a familiar voice in Valentin's catalogue.

As if catalysing all those who came into his orbit in the last years, Valentin has ushered in a dextrous and unassuming body of work as a willing collaborator and confidant. The most recent product of these engagements was his second album with Loke Rahbek, 'Elephant,' a work that pensively ricochets around the synthetic scaffolding of a wonderous acoustic environment, tracing songs as it goes. Preceding this was Valentin's breath-taking duo KYO with Hannes Norrvide. 2018 saw the release of 'All The Same Dream,' a full-length collaboration with vocalist Jeuru, which fantasised a rougher, granular edifice on top of the empyrean metropolis that was imagined with each previous release with Norrvide. Working with Yung Lean, Valentin was the producer of his album 'Nectar' as Jonatan Leandoer127, and also worked on a commissioned production for Sweden's Cullberg Ballet in 2018.

Valentin's new works, '0011001' & ‘0011000', do not abstain from collaborations, though on this occasion the authorship and breadth of scope remain entirely his own. As Valentin himself describes the album, "This is the space between becoming a father and losing my mother. All within one year, the space between zero and one." This is reflected in the two titles. Each is a binary representation of 0 and 1. Across the album, the space between these two thematic points is rendered in exquisitely gentle meditations on the quavering beauty that can be found herewith. "This is the infinite joy and unavoidable beauty of decay. This is from nothing to everything to nothing to everything to ... This is the sound of determinations, the entity of numbers."

Kindled from the gravity of these turbulent moments and experiences, Valentin has produced a twofold album that stands as his most accomplished and moving work to date. Throughout both '0011001' & '0011000' there is a gracious and elegiac instrumentation that knits a steady presence of electronic parts into perfectly balanced song-like structures. Never over-reaching with his experimentalist impulses, and never employing predictability to resolve a composition, Valentin has produced a suite of works that encourage a blissful, deep listening whilst retaining the ensnaring rapture of pop. If his deft ability as a multi-instrumentalist wasn't obvious from any one of his previous collaborations, it is perhaps on show most succinctly here. Likewise, Valentin's compositions and arrangements capture a maturity and earnest intensity that has not been revealed until now.

Frederik Valentin - Blue Ft. Jeuru

This is the Premiere of the First track of Humagn's second release on Instinkt Lab. The 4 Track EP comes with 2 original tracks by the artist and 2 remixes by Schimmer Records founder Egotot. "Tribal Dub" shines with rythmic congas and a captivating monotony paired with a powerful vocal and a dark atmosphere.
Founded by Jonathan Kribus aka Kribs and Miles Pinkert in February 2020, Instinkt Lab is an independent label for timeless techno, ambient and experimental music. The label limits its public appearance to a minimum. By now they released 5 EPs [including this one] from very ambitious artists. At least the same number of releases are just waiting to be published. The second wave brings artists such as Levzon (Amsterdam), Alexandre Leaddis (Barcelona) and Juri Heidemann (Berlin) and a event series in Cologne is also pending.
