Altinbas & Cirkle - Cynical Moves EP (SNIPPETS)

Marcal is back for round two on Dustin Zahn’s Enemy Records with “Cyber Dystopia.” Marcal’s trademark grooves and clever vocal processing make this one of his most exciting and hypnotic records yet. It’s pure class…there isn’t much else to say!

BUT we have to try anyway…
“Cyber Dystopia” starts off with Bionic Jungle, a trippy peak time roller sprinkled with uh, lifeforms or something? We haven’t been able to identify them, which is just proof that Marcal is living on another planet we haven’t been to yet. We’re standing by for the invite.

Moravex’s Paradox picks up where Bionic Jungle left off…chugging along in his signature style. It’s loopy. It’s tooly…but still heavy on the grooves, making it a perfect fit in deep and peak time sets alike.

Nothing About the United States hits a little harder and darker. Dissonant drones and catchy sound design take over, flipping the switch from “party” to “punish.” For fans of his recent track on Enemy, “Never Wrote This.”

Don’t Fear the Three is a classic Marcal percussive workout in heads-down mode. It’s as equally powerful as every other track on the record.

“Cyber Dystopia” is all about the world we are living in right now: artificial intelligence, smart houses, smartphones, self-driving cars, deepfakes, fake news, cybernetic warfare, metaverse, social networks, the internet of things, machine learning, virtual reality...
We are definitely entering a new stage of civilization, the post-modern era.
But,
Are we living an 'apocalypse of self-abdication' already? Or we are, as humans, simply evolving as technology evolves? There will ever be a limit to technology? Will it help as much it can also destruct?

We will find out soon.

Prepare yourselves for an electrifying journey as Temudo makes his mark on Sciahri's label Sublunar, with a mesmerizing EP that encapsulates the essence of the artist's multifaceted techno mastery.

Hailing from Portugal and renowned as the co-owner of Hayes, Temudo has left an indelible mark on the techno landscape, affiliating with illustrious labels such as Klockworks and Blueprint. With a distinctive sonic signature, this EP, unveils the various dimensions of Temudo's sonic vision.

Obstructor - Izanami (Nørbak Remix) | NRBK006

GLIA presents Sticky Friends, an EP born from a turbulent time of personal tension, existential crisis, and creative intensity. Alongside remixes by Bailey Ibbs and Alberto Tolo, the release is a raw and introspective journey.

"Sticky Friends" captures the energy of a Watergate closing night spent with her closest friends. Driven by distorted synths, high energy, and an uplifting groove, the track builds through hypnotic vocal effects and gritty textures before breaking into a moment of clarity with glowing chords.

"Le Reste" is a stark contrast—a pure expression of pain following the collapse of her closest relationship. A haunting vocal sample of "sorry", a word she never received but always felt was hers, echoes through hypnotic, existential synths and a flowing melodic tempo, questioning reality in its wake.

Bailey Ibbs and Alberto Tolo reshape both tracks with their own intense and unique interpretations.
