Techno Hypnotic

Since April 28, Colombia entered into a national strike catalyzed by a new tax reform in the midst of a brutal economic and social crisis exacerbated by the pandemic. The government tried to shift the burden of tax collection back to the middle and lower classes. Parallel to the peaceful protests, there are organized groups using the chaos to vandalize. The police and military forces executed hundreds of violent acts in the demonstrations and peaceful protests that still continue and that leave to date (8.05.2021) according to Human Rights International, 43 assassinations, 105 disappeared, 160 attacks medical missions, 160 detainees, 1330 wounded and 6 cases of sexual violence.

While this oppression is at its peak by the police and ESMAD, it is not new. Colombia is a country marked by inequality, corruption and systematic violence against the people through neoliberal policies, drug trafficking and elite mass media that manipulate and hide the truth. In a country where education and health are privileges, where opportunities are utopias and the future seems to be cancelled, people go out, people march, people are angry, people can't take it anymore.

Aligned with this feeling, multiple collectives and agents of the Colombian and international culture and scene decided to unite and contribute with our art to help the victims of this oppressive government, to amplify and denounce the police barbarism and to raise our voice and resist through our art.

SOS Colombia is a fist up, a cry that today becomes a collective action of musicians and visual artists presented in a compilation of techno and experimental music and also short documentaries that will expose to the world how an extreme right-wing government massacres and silences its people.

"Against the violations of human rights" , "In the absence and violence of the state. The people unite and self-manage" and "Dignity, Justice and Peace" will be the three parts of this compilation that will raise funds to give to several verified human rights organizations and self-managed initiatives that are working with the most affected populations of this crisis, holding the statistics of supporting the invaluable work of the front lines in Cali, Bogota, Medellin. You can follow these organizations and initiatives here and see how much percentage of the fund we will send to:

6. William Arist - Gultural (Kenji Hina House Remix)

For Frenzy’s third release, and the first solo release, the Uruguay-based William Arist is introducing us to his world of ‘tribal techno’. Hailing from the city of Montevideo, this Southern- American-born artist already is a talent to watch overseas. Through their like-minded vision of electronic music, William bonded strongly with our Amsterdam-based Frenzy crew over the last couple of years. This warm connection evolved into Frenzy 03 - showcasing pure dance floor eclecticism that only William can deliver, including two remixes by no other than VIL and rising star Kenji Hina aka Alarico.

The A side instantly kicks off at full good vibe-throttle with two productions that reminisce about those iconic Love Parade moments during the very first days of rave culture. Balancing on the edge of house and techno, ‘Chaka Chaka’ loops the listener into a straight sense of movement. With rhythmic drums and uplifting vocals, ‘Days’ feels like stepping into an after hour dance-floor at the beach while the morning sun rises through the exotic vegetation.

On the B side, William leans towards a more hypnotic sound. With a great tempo and a dark yet subtle mood, ‘Tero’ sets the tone for those murky clubbing moments where the boundaries dissolve and bodies merge. Slowly climbing out of the deep, ‘Gultural’ stays on the same energy level while adding dubby hints and a taste of freshness.

To top it off, the release is provided with two remixes that leave no room for interpretation. Portuguese producer VIL turned ‘Chaka Chaka’ into a true peak-hour beast while Italian multi- talent Alarico shows his versatile skill set with a speedy house remix of ‘Gultural’ under his Kenji Hina alias.

Premiere: Arthur Robert - Frostbite

Modula is proud to present its sixth release, "YAR Remixes", the remix of the original album by Voltage Controlled Illusion, the label's founding duo with Flamme and Yerno Vil as protagonists.

While the original contains the traces that mark the label's sonic direction from its foundations, composed through machines in an artisanal process of sound design, sequencing and arrangements, YAR Remixes is the work of ten creative minds that reformulate the narrative, functional and expressive character of each track.

We bring you an album that has been dissected, reworked and reinterpreted by huge international artists carefully selected to expand the sound spectrum of YAR. We have the presence of Álvaro Cabana (Rotten City Records), Playa del Karma (Logia Records), Tucu (Tucu) (Katarsis Electrónica), Cosmosolar (Modula, Phisica), Vleks (Chaos Candance), Ricardo Ruben (Playground Records), Perrone (Disco Halal), Prinze (Epicure Music), Gueva (Jeahmon, Phisica) and Mistery Kid (Femnoise Records).

Each of them develops a natural appropriation, turning each of the album's sonic insignia towards diverse aesthetic destinations that include traces from acid house to industrial techno, all based on the original indie dance retro character of the progressive school.

- label's bio:  Founded in 2023, Modula is an electronic music label with a unique proposal in the Buenos Aires music scene. His sound aesthetics can be associated with indie dance, dark disco or melodic techno, but the fundamental essence of his music is the conditions of its production: the use of analog synthesizers, sequencers, rhythm machines and other hardware devices that they use the artists that belong to the label to produce and perform their music. That is where Module finds its identity. The sound exploration, the aesthetic search and the time dedicated to these artisan processes of composition and completion of the music differ from the current accelerated processes of electronic production and place the label's participants on the radar of artists who stand out for the use of these instrumentals and the curatorship of said music.

SPÆCIAL PREMIERE: V.C.I. - Pater (Cosmosolar Remix) [Modula]

Bio:
https://soundcloud.com/playa-del-karma
Playa Del Karma (a.k.a. Mauro Chianea) was born in Neuquén Capital, Patagonia Argentina, and since he was a child clinging to a guitar he took his first steps into music, debuting on stage when he was only 13 years old. Over time he incorporates new instruments, participates in various projects of different genres, sometimes on bass, percussion, keyboards, synthesizers and even dedicated his days to production, recording and mixing.

In 2013 he began his first steps in electronic music production, and then his first steps in live mixing.

Starting in 2014, he created a new space where he transformed everything he thinks, feels and lives in a new format that he calls Playa Del Karma, going from House to Techno, but based on Indie Dance, passing through various branches of House, Break, etc.

In 2017, settled in the City of Buenos Aires, with this new identity, and traveling the world, he has played in different venues and cities in Argentina (Crobar Club, Vision Festival, Avant Garten), in Spain (the legendary Sol room in Madrid , Cadvra Club, in Recreo Barcelona) in New York, in Miami, and in different cities in Mexico, such as Oaxaca, Puerto Escondido, Torreón and more.

Member of the renowned Logia Records label that he founded in 2020 along with other artists from the Buenos Aires scene, he has released music (in addition to Logia) on U'reguay Records, Maleante, Golden Soul Records, Quixotical, among others.

PREMIERE - V.C.I. - Martes (Prinze Remix) (Modula)

Released in October last year on the rising & shining Buenos Aires/Madrid-based label Modula, the bold and well-received ten-original album “Yar” by Argentinian duo Voltage Controlled Illusion – V.C.I. for short – is now back with an interesting collection of remixes. On board, talents from many different corners of this doomed and cursed little blue dot we live on: Álvaro Cabana (RASTROLIVE003), Playa del Karma, Tucu (Tucu), Cosmosolar, Vleks, Ricardo Ruben (SXDNS103), Perrone, Prinze, Gueva (SXDNS292), and Mistery Kid (SXDNS398) held no punches and delivered insightful interpretations, resulting in a colourful and kaleidoscopical parcel.

If last year we had the opportunity to review the frenzied “Cursed”, we now give a go on the bossy rework cooked by Ricardo Ruben, one of the most prominent South American artists of his generation. After solid appearances on Playground, Controlla, Rotten City Files, Phisica, Side Up Works, Emerald & Doreen, and Bonkers, just to name a few, Ricardo debuts on Modula with a punchy interpretation of “Escandalo”. The plethora of acid of the original is still there, but now with the company of absurd percussive elements plus beautiful synth leads and layers that deliver a certain psychedelia to the theme.

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Beatport page of the label: https://www.beatport.com/label/modula/110967
