The fourth installment of Sonic Textures series is going to enlighten once more the most cuttin' edge artists in the electronics scene: 
Lair, artist, singer, compose and producer puts elements of ritual, mysticism, deep listening, meditation and energy work,  expressed through the lens of textured and layered electronic music derived from vocal samples; 
Visceral, densely textured, and intricately programmed, Swarm Intelligence’s distinctive sound comes from almost a decade of releases, spanning multiple genres and tempos; 
6SISS, half of Motive Power (47 Records) goes through progressive cinematronica to gritty industrial warehouse techno layered with some drama; 
Nemrac, Syncretism co-founder, shows his club-oriented approach in a visceral and incisive representation of darkness, skimming through Techno, Industrial, syncopated rhythms and noir atmospheres; 
Voicedrone, FOLD. founder in London, true analogue warrior and bastion of the European rave culture ensure a powerful closing of this release. 

"Sonic Textures" is the turbulent, dissonant voice speaking for eccentric artists with different influences and backgrounds. 
The fourth Various Artists Compilation presented by Syncretism gathers together several composition approaches, bringing a new paradigm of sonic textures and unexpected arrangements.




Tracklist:

1. Lair - Reform 
2. Swarm Intelligence - Offworld  
3. 6SISS - Morphagene

Darkness

PREMIERE: Voicedrone - Darkness [Syncretism]

Our first premiere of the week comes from Ctrls on DJ Stingray’s imprint, Micron Audio. Ctrls experiments electro and bass heavy tracks on this release to great effect. The Danish producer unpicks the deepening complexity brought on by our pervasive digital lives.

The Ctrls project came to life in 2012 and the Danish artist immediately made his mark on the techno scene. His fast paced and futuristic techno based sound has now been well established with a stream of respected music on labels such as Token Records, Earwiggle, and Key Vinyl.

The Danish artist has held it down at a number of high-profile venues throughout the world, including Tresor, Fold, Berghain, Khidi, Fabric, Kit Kat, Fold, and Club Drugstore, as well as a residency at Ved Siden Af, Copenhagen’s purest electronic dance music club.

For his next release the formidable techno artist releases on DJ Stingray’s imprint Micron Audio as it opens its doors to an external artist for the first time. Across four tracks, the Danish producer unravels a dark and funky electro core, taking inspiration from the rapidly intertwining codependence between technology and society. As digital twins, metaverses or humanoid robots lodge themselves deeper into our surroundings, Ctrls unpicks the deepening complexity brought on by our pervasive digital lives.

Encouraged by Micron Audio boss Stingray to delve into the darker productions as a means of exploring a contemporary electro sound, Ctrls fixes a hypnotic heft with fresh industrial sound.

‘Subroutines’ is a dark and heavy bass exploration, as Ctrls experiments with sub heavy drums and glitchy synths. Alarming drones play off inky reverb swells. Ctrls captures a cataclysmic atmosphere with profound groove.

Yazzus follows up her appearance on the Tresor 30 compilation with a new EP named BLACK METROPOLIS. Within its, at times, rough-hewn textures lies a core that explores joy and energy within the roots of black techno. In her words: "I want this release to be black and beautiful, to be queer, and playful, a nostalgic nod to the 90s but also reimagining it in the current times."

The Ghana-born, London-bred, now Berlin-based producer's research into afro-futurism, envisaging a path forward for science, technology and culture through the black experience, has impressed a deep vision on this EP. Yazzus sets like a cartographer, using her tracks to explore a technologically advanced world, each representing different regions and environments.

Human Error Processor introduces an ear-worming percussion pattern nearly swamped by distorted bass drums and a vocal sample screwed just beyond recognition. Perforated leads with a 150bpm four to the floor stomp, infectious and supercharged. Gluey synth motions soak in an otherworldliness, where industrious, mechanical rhythms map out futurist structures in all directions.

Metro City Bay Area exhibits a ghettotech soul, lean and bouncy - this part of the galaxy is an infinite source of fun, with the heart of groove at its core. Three Deities brings adventurers of its region towards higher powers, its ravey synths and an engulfing bass provoke a complete NRG release, ascending into a spiritual trance where dense melodies bubble and fizz. Digital-only track United By Fate meddles busy vocal samples with searching melodies, a fitting end to the kaleidoscopic that is BLACK METROPOLIS.

This release is a promise from Micron Audio to provide only carefully crafted and curated electronic music from progressive minded artists. Nothing friendly... Period. 

Galaxian: An intelligent, intricate composition of titanium android parts and artificial intelligence. 

LOKA: Sidewalk cracking, body moving waveforms, that strongly reflect the title of the track. 

Ctrls: Like listening to an audio book on neuroscience except you can dance to it and raise your IQ at the same time.

6SISS: This sonic blast gives you fair warning that you're going to travel about 20 years into the future.

LOKA - ENERGY WORK (ANYANWU)

Pre-order: https://giantswan.bandcamp.com/album/fantasy-food

@giantwwan return with their first new music in two years in the form of a brand new club-oriented 5-track EP, 'Fantasy Food', due to land in January via the pair's Keck Records imprint.

On the opening track, Giant Swan explore the line between noise-rock, techno, and high-NRG club with 'Sugar and Air', continuing their focus on fast-paced, hardcore dance music.

Premiere: Giant Swan 'Sugar and Air'

yet is a slippery word in English. Amorphous, these three letters in different contexts can define contrast or emphasis, set a place in time, show an expectation that something will occur or, paradoxically, that it is likely to stop. 

It is this mercurial nature that makes yet the perfect title for Tresor's latest compilation: the label follows on from the more explorative sections of 2021's landmark Tresor 30 boxed set with a compilation, featuring 13 artists making music that resists easy definition. 

Every track hints at and borrows from the familiar yet none follow the expected path: halfway through Deserto, Nandele &amp; A-Tweed dramatically reveal a very different sonic landscape that was initially suggested; DJ Sotofett collaborates with Sri Lankan artist Kavadi with results that are unlike anything in the Norwegian producer's catalogue as yet. 

Further invention can be found as Jean Redondo's Hypersonic moves across spaces inhabited by digital hardcore and hyperpop before swerving off-road and into a futuristic hip-hop section; on No Longer Human, Ireen Amnes takes a different path at the crossroads melding hyperpop, trance, and sci-fi soundtrack atmospherics, Significant Other heads towards UK Bass and Dubstep, and France's Willis Anne skims by the outskirts of footwork with a piece that is almost completely uncategorisable.

Yet more sonic experimentation comes from E-Saggila, Nadia Struiwigh, NVST, Solid Blake, and Viikatory who offer unique takes on the well-established electro blueprint, while Ryan James Ford, and Nit. both find ways to blend elements normally found in ambient pieces with those heard on a dancefloor.

The feel of the compilation is yet again reflected in the enigmatic artwork by Malik Arbab, where shapes and colours suggest animals and plants but in a world that appears to be transient and constantly evolving.

NVST - Heatstress (Tunnel Edition)

This album is a playlist created around the theme of a corrupted game for trapstep.
I'm happy to be taking on trapstep for the first time!

thank you for listening :D
