 Title: Metasble EP
Label: Faut Section 
Catalogue: FAUT043

1. Tiefton - Antlia
2. Tiefton - Metastable

4. Tiefton - Jackdaw 
5. Tiefton - Rogue
6. Tiefton - Traitor 


If there's anything that makes us proud, that is definitely being able to promote newcomers and debuts on Faut Section.

This time it's Tiefton. The german producer brings us six original tracks, each of them with a personal touch from him and yet so different from the others. 

Frankfurt based, Tiefton delivers a combination of different sonorities and perspectives in which the vivid and flowly pads are the perfect support to the spacy effects and the agressive, fierce and violent kicks.

VAST is a new underground techno label project from Portland-based artist Spencer Hardwick, that is set to showcase a wide range of upcoming American talent and beyond, with a focus on raw, hypnotic sounds with analogue features, modular sounds and creative visions.

Collectively the artists included have released on quality labels such as Edit Select Records, Developer's Modularz, Eduardo De La Calle's Analog Solutions, JAK's SubSensory, Luca Maniaci's Mind Games, Translate & Pulso's SRIE, Mal_Hombre's Voyager, Max Gardner's Peer, Secus' Rituals, Modern Minimal, Subsist, Crossfade Sounds, Maison Fauna, and Eklektik Elektrik, amongst others.

Declan James, a producer from Dallas, Texas operates the VOIDWARE label and has music released on labels like Edit Select Records, Max Gardner's Peer, Unfaced, Heist Mode, and Crisis of Man.

For this DT:Premiere we selected "Sucker Punch" with a dystopian sound made of creepy analogue textures. Ticking like a rattlesnakes march, the tension is ever-present amidst sweeping electronic pulses set tantalising underneath for a bubbling and abstract cinematic piece of hypnotic techno.

01. Urgula - Hycean World
02. Urgula - Gas Giant
03. Urgula - Surveillance
04. Urgula - Attack On Gaia
05. Urgula - Surveillance (Urgula’s Low Orbit Mix)

Urgula lands on our platform with this five tracker of advanced techno. Hycean World is the first cut,
made of solid rhythms and hypnotic sequences arranged brilliantly for the maximum efficiency on the
dancefloor.
Gas Giant comes next, with opaque percussive elements and subtle bleeps as sound recipe, ideal to
be used as a dj tool for the experienced dj’s out there.
On Surveillance he delivers a proper sci-fi feeling on a repetitive mantra combining bleeps with
drones and reverberation.
Attack On Gaia provides an intense mood, with a crispy drum workout, drilling atmospheres and a
mental arrangement.
Finally, Surveillance (Urgula’s Low Orbit Mix) shows another vision on the original track by the
artist himself, preserving the outer space mood in a more relaxed way.

323# PREMIERE: Urgula - Surveillance (Urgula's Low Orbit Mix) [Hxagrm Records]

Amid a crossfire of colorless carbon copies of a long-forgotten idea, Jason Patrick’s latest effort makes a luminary statement. The Images of Light EP arrives by way of Bay Area electronic music label Peer. Each of its five tracks casts a purposeful shadow across the boundless void that is modern techno.

“Xpx997” ushers in the effort with uncanny brightness for a cut otherwise defined by dissonance and atonal foley effects. Radiant bursts rip through a layer of exospheric noise, halted by an organic drum groove at the hearth of the soundscape.

Next on the EP’s tracklist is the psychedelic yet functional “Code Cracking.” A metallic orator laments over its digital shackles on the high end while borderline Gregorian atmospheres seem to taunt it from below. Only in the final few bars do the two reconcile.

“Foreshadow” portrays the precise sonic imagery suggested by its title. Subtle and slow burning, a coarse veil of tension wafts its way down from overhead, flickering madly like negative film reel footage of a wind-hewn flame.

Eliciting an immediate visceral reaction is the exceptionally produced “Off World.” It leads with dissociative oscillations, ratcheting up the intensity with each new layer added to the arrangement. By the time a unique double breakdown cuts through the cacophony, haunting mechanical whispers fill the track’s negative space.

“Interpretation” closes out the Images of Light EP on a sullen note. Cold ambiance lays an unshakeable foundation for this contemplative palette cleanser. As the occasional stereo artifact rattles its way up and down the dynamic range, the listener is left to reflect on all that they’ve taken in.

Only Peer could provide a home for an artistic statement like the Images of Light EP. Well into its third year, the imprint has eked out a niche in the refined yet experimental range of the electronic music spectrum. Contributions such as that of Jason Patrick project a bright future out ahead for Peer and its tight-knit community of supporters.
