This playlist is a compilation of the tracks made for a DOA production challenge.

The challenge: "You are invited to make and submit a tune/s from any genre of music from any era or make up your own, it must include a weird unique vibe. It can be as experimental and strange as you want, make it how ever you see fit.... serious or not, have fun and loose your mind a bit. Go deep."

Old weird tracks could be entered as examples and inspiration. This playlist is a combination of those old tracks and new ones produced specifically for the challenge.

MOLT‘s second outing consists of five cuts, firstly Stavrogin’s thunderous technoid jungle rework of DYL’s contrastingly introverted original; weaving intricately layered noise and percussion over huge hitting sine-kick pressure. DYL’s other o­fferings on this side channel early drum & bass, with chunky, filtered breakbeat rhythms and vivid, colourful yet bleakly detailed, arrhythmic sound design.
Flip the record for DYL’s o­ff-kilter broken techno floor-rattler Transfer, opening with soul-swallowing suspense — its deep subs and catchy delayed kick-rhythms evoke imminent danger. To conclude, Stavrogin brings erratic, sub-heavy melancholia with his second piece meshing luscious chords with stuttered kick sounds upon dashes of layered bass.
In line with MOLT‘s first edition, vinyl copies of Second Phase include ten locked groove loops for use creatively as sampling or DJ tools, this time assembled by @blanca .

SK1MIX010 : DYL

Music For A Stolen Piano

We are proud to announce the new Various Artists album from One.Seventy – ‘Permissions’.

10 tracks from 10 unique artists featuring Books, DB1, Ghost Warrior, Projekt 22, DYL, Lcp, Subminimal, Toben, DAAT and Ruido. Release date: 20/09/19 Pre-order from 30/08/19

DB1 - Contorno

Releases 20th February 2020
140g 12" Vinyl containing music plus 10x locked-groove loops on transparent grey vinyl with black spattering. Includes card for digital downloads in MP3 & Lossless. Illustration by SubMillimetre.

A1. DB1 — Late Night. 
A2. DB1 — Tone
A3. DB1 — Loops 1-10* (Loops only available on vinyl release)
B1. DYL — YDNTKNW
B2. Paragon — Black Celebration (Stone Cold) 

The first edition entitled 'Initial Conditions' assembles with DB1’s opening redefinition of form & function in Late Night; a journey of spatial exploration and intricate drum work arranged for polyrhythmic bitempo hybrid territory, palpating into a spectrum-rich environment top-dressed with scything layers of percussion.

Tone, DB1’s beatless secondary offering introduces fluid, localised doses of low frequency synth work, developing into an exploration inside rich, vivid arrays of convoluted space.

Vinyl copies of Initial Conditions include 10 infinite locked-groove loops assembled by DB1 himself, covering 1 bar percussion arrangements as well as ambience and drone/noise terrain. These additions aim to channel functionality and provide creative tools for performance.

Flip over to uncover the masterful work of DYL in YDNTKNW: a lesson in dynamics, donning swathes of industrial elasticity yet solidifying itself as a functional dancefloor-worthy exercise. Rip-roaring waveforms are barely suspended by the tension of cables buckling under pressure.

Paragon delivers via Molt’s first edition; 'Black Celebration (Stone Cold)': a controlled descent into insanity in the form of textured sample destruction. Pitch bent, brash and broken; Paragon’s drunken drum patterns dissolve into redux noise and drum confusion, conjuring a sleep paralysis inducing bed of imagery, advancing into a spiral of unconscious cacophony. The piece finalises as a crescendo of locked-loop noise.

The Tides of Time

This is from my first session with the new version of SunVox, v1.9.6
I was trying out the new pitch shifter feature.
In the first half the melody of pads determine the transposition ofbtje pitch shifter.
In the second half, it's the bassline. It's a subby bass so play it loud!

1.9.6

Another experiment!

An eclectic mix, including:
Clave rhythm from South America
Samples of African percussion.
Some Cello.
And some of the wonderful synths from the SunVox template.
