Following 2019’s Inside, VC-118A returns to Delsin to present his fourth album, Spiritual Machines. It marks an exciting shift in focus for Samuel van Dijk as his flagship project nears a decade skirting the deeper ends of techno and electro.

Over the past two and half years, van Dijk forensically reviewed the key aspects of his production process as he dug down in search of the essence of the VC-118A sound. By creating his own complement of sample banks, software racks and devices, van Dijk was able to work with a hybridised analogue-digital system purely of his own making. Less in thrall to the strict rigours of techno and electro standards, Spiritual Machines’ 13 album tracks encompass more fluid shifts into abstract and downtempo, dub-inflected realms, without losing sight of the elements that have made VC-118A so compelling from the beginning.

Burnished machine soul, aqueous atmospherics and immaculate drum programming abound, but in the mellow, enveloping sound world of Spiritual Machines you can hear van Dijk guiding his music into a broader form that sounds at once more assured and more inspired.

The Meaning Of… what, I wonder. Life? Art? The shifting patterns of the cosmos? Perhaps the truth is more mundane, and sounds this grand and enveloping and extraterrestrial accompany Inhmost’s everyday musings, but I suspect he was alluding to the big questions when he put that title on his new LP.

Inhmost is Simon Huxtable. He first gained traction in the late 90s as Aural Imbalance, putting out a series of fleet-footed intelligent D n B singles that’ll now set you back a fair wedge on Discogs. Since then he’s gradually stripped his sound of the drum and (most of) the bass, and Inhmost now serves as Huxtable’s outlet for his most distilled and chasmic ambient. This is his fourth album under the moniker and his first on Swiss imprint re:st, a label whose output sits neatly amid the same sonics as Huxtable’s, encompassing the minimal percussive workouts of DB1 and Dyl, spacious techno and half-step from Lcp, and dub-skewed, dancefloor-adjacent excursions by Owl.

Scenic, is I think the word that best describes The Meaning Of… The opener sounds like a rainy walk below a neon moon, with gliding synths and fuzzed, drizzling water sounds. On ‘Outside Space’, rustling field recordings evoke a dazed mooch around a misty jungle, one where you stumble across an end-stage forest rave that’s blasting Global Communication’s 76:14 until everyone leaves. ‘Outer Thoughts Dub’, if not the most transportive track here, is the most pleasing to my ears. Fireside crackles and cosmic twinkles are carried upward by a feathersoft pulse, compelling you to look out into the beyond while retaining the warmth and intimacy of your favourite duvet.

The kicker with this album is the deceptive ease with which Huxtable melds the organic and synthetic. It almost makes you want to give it a go yourself; just grab a field mic and strike off into the night, take the fruits of your labour home and mush it together with some warm electronics. But no, there’s much more at play here. With all the elements involved it could easily spill over into a crowded, trite, Eno-goes-hiking soundtrack. Instead, Inhmost strikes a delicate balance, offering up densely layered, vertiginous arrangements that manage to remain light as aether.

In the end, I think The Meaning Of… lives up to the lofty implications of its title. While it might not reveal the truth of existence, or provide solutions to the crushing complexities of day-to-day living, it does allow you to escape into glistening worlds where those questions seem just a little less pressing. And for now, I think that’s more than enough.

This week, we have a magical, mystical journey to transport you to your favourite nature spot, from Artos Eleven, the alias of Arthur Bðhl.

Bðhl is the co-founder of Melifera Records (previously known as System11), a vj’ing and cinema entity which recently expanded to encompass a label and web magazine. He is also one of the organisers behind the enchanting La Vallée Électrique, a home-grown passion project in the form of a 2 night/3 day 500-capacity festival, running since 2017 in Southeastern France. 

Bohl has been composing for many years, a path which more recently took him into the wonders of the deep techno realm, where he has carved out his own personal style.

In his own words, this mix, recorded after the festival at his studio in Avignon, France  “… is an intimate story. I wanted to tell my experience of La Vallée Électrique 2020 in music… this particular edition took place in secret and in a small group by the riverside. It was beautiful and intense… It is a memory, the perspective of an inner dynamic. I used the river of the valley as a vision to create a red thread.”

And we can totally imagine the moment in all its glory - friends, and strangers, united by music in a perfect natural setting.

Arthur’s first EP will be out in less than a month, including remixes from Eyvind Blix and Forest on Stasys. We can’t wait!

MNMT 301 : Simone Bauer

Sleep had become her enemy; when night began to fall the panic set in, a feeling she knew all too well now. But the source remained unknown, she couldn't trace the unexplainable throes of her dreams — dreams that bordered on nightmares. Staying awake was not an option, though one she'd previously tried out of desperation, her only hope was to regain control of these unconscious moments, before she slipped too far beneath.

Rome-based producer Cosimo Damiano is making his return to Dj Inner Lakes’ Survive imprint for the third time with an 8-track LP titled 'Hypnos'. In parallel to the Milanese imprint's mission, Damiano seeks to connect styles and technologies from across different eras; an approach that manifests across his new album, so to does his previous work with classical and contemporary musicians. Inspired by the Greek god of sleep, he crafts his own language that examines the space between the conscious and subconscious, drawing from sonic references like acid techno producer Curley Schoop and Coil, as well as literature and cinematography.

Hypnos

PREMIERE: Cosimo Damiano - Consciousness [Survive]

Assembled to accompany a short film from Manchester-born visual artist, poet and filmmaker Tibyan Mahawah Sanoh, Joshua Inyang and Joshua Tarelle’s newest is a cinematic audit of identity and ancestry. In the film, Sanoh works hard to visually illustrate an honest and vulnerable picture of her soul. Inyang and Tarelle respond by doing the same with sound, collaging disparate elements together in a way that should be familiar to anyone who heard "hybtwibt?" or their jawdropping RA mix from earlier this year.

Warped field recordings, overdriven rhythmic pressure, syrupy pads and disorienting vocals are cut and pasted over each other, generating a living, breathing study of the duo's Northern working class Black British reality. Unlike the duo's acclaimed "Somewhere Decent To Live" full-length, elements mutate and transform: mushy noise bends into street sounds, haunted vocals into echoing drill melancholia and muffled howls into shattered digital remnants.

Special Edition 10" & digital out now. 
Gold metallic Pantone printed on reverse board.  Mastered by Stephan Mathieu at Schwebung, cut by LUPO.

For the newest Animix, Thailand based DJ & producer @sunjuhargun has put together a beautiful downtempo trance exploration. Sunju co-curates @siamesetwinsrecords , an amazing label which focuses on trance-y, psychedelic sounds from Asian based artists. 

Sunju has a multitude of impressive releases under his name, as well as aliases Mogambo and Khun Fluff, and a plethora of beautiful mixes - which always seem to find the perfect balance between emotional and driving. Sunju has been a household name across the region for over a decade, playing spaced out music in forests, warehouses, and castles.

For our eighth release, we are glad to welcome back our dear friend Vardae for a second EP on the label. His first output on 2019 had been received really well, so he decides to took the things further with this new one, presenting a more textural techno approach while keeping his own signature of raw and minimalist precise techno.

This EP was mainly inspired by paintings of Pierre Soulage called “composition de rouge et de noir”. What we feel when listening to the release is the continuity between the tracks, especially the first three. We could consider them as different layers of the same composition. They feature the key elements of what we want to promote with the label, cycling alien atmospheres, granular textures and raw beats with a clearly identified sci-fi touch. The last track shows us a different sound palette from Vardae with a more melodic approach, dominated by gentle pads but still keeping some voices atmospheres in the background.

Vardae - Rust & Black [CWR008]

‘Ngarep E’ by artist Aryo Adhianto is a study on automated rhythmic modulation and tonality shifts. Performed on digital synthesizers, these three pieces establish a sonic atmosphere that implies disjunction - as an exercise to create a conversational approach with the computer and depart from grid-based compositions.

The outcome of such an attempt is a rotation around the axes of programming and improvisation, resulting in generative sequences moving from one parameter to the next with minimal predetermined actions by the composer.

–––––––––––––––––––––––

‘Ngarep E’ oleh seniman Aryo Adhianto adalah sebuah studi mengenai otomasi modulasi ritmis dan pergeseran tonal. Diolah menggunakan synthesizer digital, tiga karya ini membentuk atmosfir sonik yang bermain dengan laras - sebuah latihan untuk pendekatan yang lebih lentur pada proses komputasi dan melepas ketergantungan pada komposisi berbasis grid.

Hasil dari percobaan tersebut adalah sebuah rotasi bebas diantara sumbu bahasa programming dan improvisasi, kian menghasilkan rangkaian bunyi generatif yang bergerak dari satu parameter ke berikutnya dengan keterlibatan yang seminim mungkin dari komponis.

Performed and produced by Aryo Adhianto.
Mixed and mastered at Studio Oposisi.
