"The heart of 'Amber' is the evanescence of creativity — the fleeting nature of everything that surrounds us, everything that feels so permanent when we're growing up into adults, but that fades and disappears as we age. The spark and drive of creativity pushes artists to excel and constantly exceed their accomplishments, and with electronic music, this often pushes it into increasingly technical and concept-based areas. The material amber itself is said to clear the mind, to help develop patience and wisdom. My album, 'Amber', has acted much the same for me as a kind of reset with a focus on vibe, musicality, and patience. I mean it to be music for listening that can also work in clubs. I did not want to push or feel compelled into a particular direction, but rather each track to be a true reflection of my current creative state. This simplicity is reflected also in the bare artwork for the vinyl and album — a simple pen drawing burnt onto the cover, the last mark my grandfather committed to paper 1 week before he passed."

Worldwide:  07 — 10 — 21

"In this album I was trying to explore the idea of pop music on PCP. PCP has fantastic lore around it and I think the most fascinating thing about it is that it seems as if many people have had these experiences where they took PCP, it presented them with an alternative reality, and they accepted it without question. It's as if that umbilical cord of knowing that you're high is cut, and the person taking it is fully immersed in the trip. Not only that but from some of the accounts, the alternate reality seems quite twisted and perverse. There are reports of people disemboweling and eating each other, or deciding that the best course of action is self-mutilation or castration, and then emerging from the trip still convinced it was the right choice. Or even the accounts of people gaining superhuman strength and fighting off 5 or 6 cops at once. It seems like there's something quite dark on the other side of that door. So for this album I tried to write what I imagine the pop music of that alternate reality might sound like. What would happen to the sugary sweet, wet dream, corporate sponsored top 40 hits, if we dipped 'em in angel dust and got "wet". What would happen if we slopped all of those fun summer hits into the meat grinder of the PCP reality tunnel, and just pushed them through. I like to imagine an intersection under an overpass in a cyberpunk dystopian future. It's midnight and you can see the neon's from the storefronts on the other side through the thick smog. A modded AE86 Corolla  pulls a left turn and you can hear the music pounding from the sound system as the rubber peels underneath it. As it's drifting through the intersection, smoke pouring out of the tiny gap at the top of the tinted windows, the music pours out of the car like a thick syrup, engulfing us as we stand frozen for a moment as they pass. This is what they were playing."

"To make this concept a cohesive whole, Hybrids took a couple of years to compile. It reflects a certain shift in my sound, where I’ve try to maintain a constant balance between experimentation and efficiency — surprise, technique and playability… It's a highly functional object crafted from a subversive standpoint, breaking the rules while following them all. Auto-referential musical artifacts blend into composite shapes, and ultimately manifests into five exercises in style, trespassing traditional boundaries of genre, tempo, and (good) taste. While this record probably expresses an inner conflict at the intersection of hypermodernity and conservatism, I hope it accomplishes, at least, its primitive function—to put the body in motion."

Worldwide:  18 — 11 — 21

Drifting on oceans of thunderous stillness, carried away by endless currents, whipped up by waves of darkness devouring you until you see the light. The first album from Platoo, a collaboration between Michelle Samba and Phil Mills, has an unrelenting cadence that grabs you and refuses to let go. A distinctive combination of calming soundscapes and highly-charged energy fitting any occasion, from dancing like lost souls in the empty halls of ancient barracks to ecstatically tripping on a distant desert planet.

To Phil and Michelle creating Platoo was about being given a sense of freedom and exploration, at once shaking off habits and rediscovering forgotten values. Phil's love of the mesh of ''real'' sounds and electronics, and quest to establish a balance where both would feed off each other saw him abandon convention and standard structures, deviate from the beaten path and let things come to life. Michelle's quest to create, to inspire and be inspired, to draw her conclusions from serendipitous events allowed her to break things open and be at ease with letting herself go to create the breathing space needed for this new sound.

What makes their symbiosis fruitful is a common yearning for the unknown, a search for what works without exactly fathoming why it works. The result is something that indeed meets those needs, a strange and beautiful musical exploration.

"How does it feel to reminisce? That was something I wanted to try to capture in soundwaves. I tend to reminisce a lot. About the good and bad parts in the past, and everything in between. I try to remember which specific parts in my life made me who I am today. Thinking about those events is going to make me feel a certain way, and i wanted to try to convert these feelings into songs.

Reminiscing to me, is also a very visual experience in my head. So I decided to take sounds that were close to me from the past and make something cinematic that still works as a full song. I’ve been using a lot of granulated sounds, which is almost like a shattered memory reconstructed into a new one, as your feelings can change recovering the same memory. So you can close your eyes and go on your own reminiscing journey, discovering loads of layers weaved through these soundwaves."

"Flana" is an old Nordic verb that means "to wander without purpose". I built this body of work around the concept of taking a stroll and absorbing your surroundings while travelling inward and thinking/feeling things deeply while experiencing the environment you're physically passing through at the same time.

YUKU stands as a counterpoint to contemporary arts culture and the way that it is experienced and consumed. In an age where music has been devalued to the point of performers being a list of names intended to sell tickets, impatience on the dancefloor, music being just another track in a playlist, and the visual artwork that accompanies it relegated to being a thumbnail in the corner of a player—we stand for those artists and listeners who take joy in immersing themselves in the worlds and journeys that are created by those who create. YUKU is an open and accepting forum of ideas, expression, and creativity that allows for those who are willing to drink in the emotions and concepts being communicated—an island of experience and stimulation for the kinds of people who like to be surprised, those who aren’t satisfied to hear and experience the same things time and time again, an oasis in the never-ending sea of digital information and consumerism.

We invite you to join us there...

"A place of reflection, remembrance, and new beginnings.
For my first LP, I wanted to express diversity across many styles and forms, and give you a sense of my various influences in music infused with my own sound.

For this Project I had the amazing privilege to collaborate with a number of artists that I hold great respect for: Monuman, Craze, Subp Yao, Survey, and Kilo. I can´t thank you all enough."

IÐAVÖLLUR
As mentioned in the Poetic Edda

The gods in Iðavöllur meet together,
Of the terrible girdler of earth they talk,
And the mighty past they call to mind,
And the ancient runes of the Ruler of Gods.

The emotional and physical contortions that society puppeteers us into manifesting."

"When I heard Malsum's EP, I was blown away. I sifted through the stems, found the most interesting sounds, and built from there. When remixing, I try to grow an entirely new tune from the same seed sounds, then whittle away until it feels complete. I don't use any external sounds, I want it to be a completely different result built from the exact same materials as the original."

"The Leisure Lands EP is a collection of tracks that we feel could live in the same painting. In one corner, there are morning tones, calmness outside, and a little blue hint in the sky that the sun is coming out but isn’t here yet. In another corner, there are psychedelic rituals and ceremonies taking place. Over the past year, we selected projects that fit the image of this painting. We have been using some exciting new software and instruments to add new audio to our productions. Lately, primarily Kiloheartz Multipass, field recordings, our new cello, other oddities that one might find in their home, and digital synthesis."

"This album was inspired entirely by the world that exists parallel to ours, beneath the surface of the ocean.  While it was the appalling pollution clogging bodies of water across the globe that originally motivated me to create this work, it was what I discovered in my research for the record that really blew me away. The unimaginable depth, the infinite darkness, the undiscovered areas, and otherworldly species, it all really struck me.

Over the course of 2 years, I wrote and recorded this project in my studio in Heerlen. Working with, and without intention, getting lost, finding focus, it was a real journey.  

The 2 collaborators (Warrior Queen and d00p)featured on my record added exactly what i was looking for, and the artwork by Fragment:Flow creator, Paul Fennell, ties it all together beautifully.  

Thanks to you all.

Last, but certainly not least, Infra Aqual would not be the record it is without the help of YUKU.  I can't thank them enough."

Machinecode — Every Ones & Nothings (feat. Coppa)

Vinyl & digital: https://yukumusic.bandcamp.com/album/start-taking-note

"For us, the Start Taking Note is a marvellous Frankenstein of sonic fragments. Foley, samples, ethnic instruments and late night synth jam sessions put together over solid UK Grime Influenced beats, bring together a sound of multiple generations of music and musicians together, to create this unique adrenaline shot. 

We always strived to distinguish ourselves from the generic sound of the club scene, and we consider EP to be the foundation of our audio/visual identity. 

Belgrade’s urban underground music scene and the urban graffiti art is something that brought us all together, and will always stay a purest form of inspiration.

We also very grateful for Killa P’s guest appearance on the EP title track. His career, tunes and artist he worked with amongst the core influences of our sound."

YUKU is an open and accepting forum of ideas, expression, and creativity that allows those who are willing to drink in the emotions and concepts being communicated—an island of experience and stimulation for the kinds of people who like to be surprised, who aren’t satisfied to hear and experience the same things time and time again, it is an oasis in the never-ending sea of digital information and consumerism.

YUKU stands as a counterpoint to contemporary arts culture and the way that it is experienced and consumed. In an age where music has been devalued to the point of performers being a list of names intended to sell tickets, impatience on the dancefloor, music being just another track in a playlist, and the visual artwork that accompanies it relegated to being a thumbnail in the corner of a player—we stand for those artists and listeners who take joy in immersing themselves in the worlds and journeys that are created by those who create.

We invite you to join us there...

"This is a true representation of what I crave as an artist. My intention is to invite you to explore the unknown, hear the unheard, and feel the the unfelt.

As an artist, at some point art begins to create itself, this is how it works for me. The creation of this album was less of a choice and more of a subconscious action that lead to result.

These are my surroundings, feelings, and visions in a body of work.
Influenced by an enveloping darkness, distortion, and warped reality.

A special thank you to my biggest inspiration—my grandpa."

"With this release, I set out with a particular sound in mind — one through which I could amalgamate my inspirations from over the years to create something fresh and outline a unique approach. With these tracks, I wanted to walk the line of having something energetic enough to tease my UK Underground & Dance Music influences, and yet experimental enough to present the listener with a deeper landscape to explore through the FM sound design."

Also featuring Amon Tobin and MVRK
Artwork: Boris Tellegen

"The All Attracting circumscribes the source of all being, the atma (soul), god in everyone and everything... It's used in hinduism to describe Krishna, but it’s really not about religion. It’s about the diversity and complexity of the god entity — "the indivisible force"

Music to a point is directly associative and always carries stereotypic and archaic values. In opposition to real life physical sounds electronically created sounds and music throw you back to the beginning of sound - the sine wave. To go from there is a welcome challenge and a lot of fun which both expresses well in the Album."

By order of appearance in the preview:
Es.tereo — Perception
Es.tereo — Drifter Dub
Es.tereo — Perception (Forest Drive West Remix)

Artwork: Simon Fowler

"Drifter Dub & Perception draw from a deep inner feeling that connects the four elements — earth / water / air / fire.
Everything is connected and surrounded by these four elements in varying ratios and levels of interaction. With these tracks, I wanted to elicit a mood that gives the feeling of being in nature with all these elements, dancing around a fire in the forest, getting lost in the kind of hypnotic rhythm and percussion that can put you in an ecstatic higher frequency state. The Forest Drive West remix of "Perception“ captures that all and completes the release perfectly."

"Following on our first EP, ‘Collisions’, we wanted to explore the use of modular synths, and also hardware, in more depth. Exordium was crafted from countless modular jams, passed back and forth between London and Liege, and polished into a piece of work that captures our love for club music, with an experimental edge. We wanted to get out for a moment from the 170 which we are a bit more known for. Hopefully you will enjoy this exploration into our shared sound and influences as much as we enjoyed creating it."

"Just Valance being Valance, I’m no underground glitch legend or pioneer as I never cared for a title, just an individual who puts sounds together and embraces the outcome whether it’s light or dark. Capturing emotions from complex patterns. I don’t betray myself. Not for status. Not for power. Not for money. Not to fit into a stereotype. Not to look a certain way. Not for approval as patience and sacrifice is required to build anything.

Some aspects of the world are getting uglier every day and every ray of hope is vital to tilt the balance. A Patternless and Endless Soul is for those in need, and as such, 30% of the record profits will be donated to a charity for the homeless TBA."

"Artificial Intelligence has been a fascinating area for me since 2017, and Cypher is a body of my work, an album, that draws heavily on it for inspiration. I tried to combine classical elements and modern techniques as much as possible when creating it, so that it has both a sense of the familiar and the new. I created the artwork by programming a GAN algorithm using face-transfer concept in combination with a street-art dataset from Istanbul."

Worldwide: Out now (Digital); September TBA (Vinyl)

"Since our debut release on YUKU, our perspective about the many creative possibilities open to us has evolved.

With “MAKTUB,” meaning “It’s written,” we're clearly stating that it's time to dive deeper into our musical ethos and production. It represents a significant step in our self-discovery, and a big step forward from the debut EP.

On this sonic architect project, we managed to make a strong cross-Atlantic connection with the various features on this LP and make geographical boundaries evaporate.

This genre-fusion release was formed in pure isolation and solitude from all sides, but the final outcome brings a feeling of even stronger unity within TRAKA, and also at same time preserves our personal individual creative identities."
