techno

Release date (vinyl & digital): 10th of March 

After a string of acclaimed releases on Token and a selection of remixes, Ø [Phase] released his debut album 'Frames Of Reference' on Token last fall. It earned him outstanding reviews at Resident Advisor ("a display of real power and finesse" 4/5), in DJmag ("a calculated masterpiece" 9,5/10), at XLR8R ("sticks out as an alternate route to the heart of machine music's appeal" 8/10), Groove Magazine ("pulsating techno in which every sonic details fits") and more.

Following the first single “On The Edge / Perplexed” & the second single “Dirtro II” (including the stellar ‘New Device Remix’ by Robert Hood), we now present you the last segment of the series with 2 remixes. On the A-side Rødhåd delivers an epic 10 minute interpretation of the first single ‘Perplexed’, while Robert Hood delivers a second, more minimalistic take on “Dirtro II” for the flip.

Am Deck 30 - Abelle

Born and educated in Rome, the young Italian producer Luigi Tozzi was strongly influenced by the roman scene and its local artists, many of whom gave a crucial contribution to the birth and growth of the deep techno sound. Luigi’s music has so far been released on the established label Dynamic Reflection, Hypnus Records, where he found a platform that inspired him to develop his style. Melting the tribal and hypnotic elements of techno with the atmospheric and emotional side of ambient music he is making his own path in the world of electronics.

"Shoal Beat" is taken from the forthcoming Porter Ricks album – Anguilla Electrica.
Tresor.295 releases June 9th, on CD, 2LP and digital.

=====

Ever since their initial singles were released in the mid-1990s and became international calling cards for the Chain Reaction label, the Porter Ricks duo of Thomas Köner and Andy Mellwig have represented that crucible point in which techno music leaked into new social environments and became the background music for cutting-edge cultural critique. Their submerged “scuba” sound, presented in dark tone colors and reverberating to infinity, is now instantly identifiable as one of the ‘soundmarks’ of Berlin club culture. Just as importantly, it is still a palpable aftershock of a pre-millenial genre explosion that saw deep dub, shimmering post-rock, abstract hip-hop and art-damaged noise all drinking from the same well of inspiration. Together with restless international collaborators such as Kevin Martin, and theoretical thinktanks such as the Mille Plateaux label, Mellwig and Köner were key players in a larger decentralized rebellion against musical monoculture. Their stated desire to make unexpected timbral shifts as important to their compositions as rhythm, along with their indifference to concerns like public image, set up a situation that critic Kodwo Eshun picked up on early on (“no pictures or interviews act as shock absorbers…the full force of their inexplicable sounds falls around your ears.”)

For proof of Porter Ricks’ enduring legacy, look no further than the fact that “dub techno” is now a stylistic movement that has expanded far beyond the confines of Berlin and the Basic Channel / Chain Reaction label alliance (where Mellwig’s mastering skills also played a starring role).  Lurid traces of PR’s aesthetic can now be found in the work of producers like Andy Stott and Miles Whittaker, showing the potential for the duo’s unique ‘aquatic’ techniques to be applied to a variety of different musical contexts. However, this does present Porter Ricks with the unique challenge of reasserting themselves in a scene that has mastered their sonic vocabulary so well, the originals themselves run the risk of sounding like imitators…are they up to the task?

Their new LP on Tresor, Anguilla Electrica, may be their first full-length release in seventeen full years, but it radiates with confidence and with a clarity and intensity rarely seen in a world so oversaturated with communications noise. It’s made clear at once that it’s a continuation of a sonic ideal rather than a tribute to what has already been achieved: the duo is not idly sitting back while their newer acolytes do their talking for them. From the outset, the title track “Anguilla Electrica” slithers to life with bouncing and panning sequences that cover the full frequency spectrum and provide a perfect update on Porter Ricks’ exploration of animalistic movement and perception. Elsewhere, pieces such as “Scuba Rondo” also reanimate the classic Porter Ricks sound in striking fashion, playfully setting up a virtual sonic kitchen in which gelatinous sound phrases blend with steamy hisses and distinct crackling. In other places, like “Port of Tangency” and “Shoal Beat,” the duo once again demonstrates just how effortlessly catchy the conversational tension between lockstep groove and slightly unhinged, unidentifiable sound material can be.

This new LP is well worth the wait and is a life-affirming one in an uncertain and perilous time, drowning out daily anxieties like a rush of incoming surf - yet it is far more invigorating than relaxing. True to the Porter Ricks tradition, it will be just as exciting hearing this music as it will be to experience what new cultural mutations it leaves in its wake

Nastia - Essential Mix 2017-07-29

Solid Steel (15th December) In Hour 1 this week we welcome Stroboscopic Artefacts label boss Lucy, also known as the Italian-born and Berlin-based producer Luca Mortellaro. He's been releasing music for over a decade with tracks on Zehnin, Samurai Horo, Ware, Curie Recordings, as well as his last album 'Self Mythology' on Stroboscopic Artefacts. Music featured includes tracks by Chevel, Moritz Von Oswald, Marcel Dettmann, Ricardo Villalobos, Yotam Avni, Blawan and Planetary Assault Systems. He told us;
"This mix was live recorded during one of my latest gigs, and this particular one happened during a show in one of those places (which I cannot name) where I can play extended sets, where I feel fully at home, having the right settings to feel a great amount  of ease and freedom of giving a very wide interpretation to the word “Techno’."

Zadig empieza a interesarse por la escena rave en los 90. Rápidamente se hace un hueco en la escena pero después de cinco años de mezclar hardcore y acid empieza a tener la sensación de estar demasiado encerrado en ese sonido. Ya no se identifica con este entorno y decide convertirse al techno, un estilo mucho más básico, pero también con más amplitud de registros. Empiea a quedar subyugado por la influencia de Jeff Mills, Joey Beltram o Surgeon, así como por los sellos  Synewave, Lost o Tresor.

Al trabajar en la tienda discos conocida como Matos Dj Store, la famosa tienda de música de  Bastilla, conocerá a gente del séctor muy interesante como Mathieu Berthet, un ingeniero de sonido independiente, que además es distribuidor de vinilos y  experto en música electrónica. Este encuentro se convertira en una amistad verdadera y de rebote  Zadig recobrará su interés en la creación de música. A continuación, se arma de valor y se endeuda para crea su propio estudio casero, armado con un sintetizador Juno 106, TR-808 y TR-909.

Su amistad con Mathieu Berthet le permitirá introducirse en el sello Plastic Rec en el que publicará su primer lanzamiento orientado hacia el sonido Detroit, Visión. Zadig llega a un acuerdo de distribución con Syncrophone. Ese es el comienzo de una historia de amor con con la tienda de discos que publica su Dark Nebula en 2010. Este disco es considerado como su primer paso importante en términos de producción y le permite firmar con Sino (sello de Technasia). El maxi P.8 le va a permitir mayor visibilidad internacional.

 Zadig funda casi inmediatamente Construct Re-Form con la que publica material de tres DJs talentosos como son Antigone, Voiski y Birth of Frequency. Zadig se convierte entonces en un label manager de lo más astuto que ofrece asesoramiento técnico y, quizás lo más importante, el apoyo humano necesario para seguir en el mercado.
