"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."

"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."

"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."

The Science — Come by the River & Embryo 
(+ Remixes by Om Unit, Subp Yao, Azaleh)

"Come By The River" and "Embryo" have a common denominator at their very basis - that is love, in its purest forms. In CBTR we tell a momentary love story between two people who stumble upon each other by the river and spend the afternoon diving into one another, just to separate and never meet again, but leave this beautiful mark in the form of a memory that defies time and space. In "Embryo" we look at love from a different perspective, the mother's. The type of love that has the power to defeat all insecurities, fears and teach/ask the most important questions.

The river doesn't pass, we just prefer to remain."

"In the making of this body of work, I found myself surrendered to the creative flow that occurred in each piece individually. As if the work at a certain point starts to delegate and I have no choice but to serve. Serving in a way of not knowing conceptually what I'm doing.
An organic asymmetric approach was the basis for the whole aesthetic exploration. A dialogue between repetition and irregularity whose sum is leading into a playful yet dark gloomy nature.

In CREATURE I investigated the relationship between technical knowledge or rather the rigid imagination of an idea to the unpredictable fluidness of creation. Every track sort of becomes a CREATURE that deeply wants to be itself and given that, it feels ultimately brutal wanting it to fit in in any way. I am the initial ignition or the person having an idea to start something new but I always end up being a tool, a trigger or a small protagonist in a world that is now something of itself.“ — Chewlie

"This album is intended to be a journey through every genre of music that I love the most. It was inspired through the use of a vast number of tools and foley recordings. As an artist I force myself to be versatile while keeping my own touch on the music I create. Much of the creative ideas behind this album were inspired by the feeling of loss, a loss of attachment to any of the restraints and walls I had created within my art. I am never pushing for a specific sound, I go with my subconscious flow. Once again my grandpa has continued to inspire me through his art. Every time I get to work with him I feel grateful. I am so lucky to have the chance to pair his art with mine."

"The making of this album first started as a recollection of music and sound design I’ve produced over the last couple of years for events and installations—interactive and immersive AV experiences. It was like creating a specific atmosphere for visitors where I’d take them into this sensorial but artificial experience within a very confined spatial domain. This is how the “Climats” concept emerged. 

Longer ambient and generative pieces thus found their own space in my repertoire, allowing me to explore more in-depth, non-linear execution with soft, moody and padded textures. Eventually, all this freeform material became available so I could extract parts of it to build more club-centered and straightforward tracks, but nonetheless, the list grew and all this softer-edged, more introspective works were aggregating over time.

At the time of the lockdown, it felt very natural to get back to it and finalize it as a cohesive whole. It was a very healing and a smooth process to work on these. From isolation, I could open this window to thoughts where I made up my very own Science Fiction story while working on the music. I really wanted it to be a one-hour soundtrack experience that I’d listen at home or driving while my mind would travel across all those musical scapes. It was never a formalized script, but the music spoke for itself with themes of anticipation, collapse, utopia, the world as we know it, the near and far future...

Creating the album was quite a sporadic production process that stretched over several years but it all came together and made a lot of sense in the context of the title I chose : TERRAFORM. The narrative of the album simply unfolds from Dawn to Dusk, and the listener navigates through the different climates that each track embodies."

"Platinum Scatter is a trip along the fringes of music that could still be classified as drum and bass but without the obvious markings of the genre while meeting and merging with forms of techno or music from the wider bass spectrum. I designed this album to be something of a focused journey that should work equally as a cerebral listening experience as much as it should function in clubs. I consider this to be my most conceptual body of work to date, and I hope that you will enjoy its approach to multi-layered rhythms and minimal but striking forms."

Out now: https://yukumusic.bandcamp.com/album/hesitate
Follow Sam Link: https://soundcloud.com/sambot

"The tracks in Hesitate were largely born out of constraints; some self-imposed and some naturally occurring. A busy home life on top of a fulltime job in software engineering restricted my time to create. Surprisingly, this time crunch was the main driver to compose these tracks at a consistent pace. Given I typically have roughly 20-30 minutes at a time to make progress, I learned to use time efficiently. Allowing space between creative spurts also gave my ideas breathing room and resulted in fresh ears for the following session.

My history of using Max/MSP and experimenting with generative music gave me an appreciation for imposing additional creative constraints, intentionally starting with only a few simple sounds and ideas and slowly building out the structure of the track.

The sounds in these dance floor-ready selections share a common thread, largely centered around foggy or misplaced memories of past decades that evoke a personal yearning and nostalgia. I felt the title of Hesitate was fitting given the feeling of unease provoked by particular rhythms and sound placement in time. The title track, little-o and Keep present this unease through off-beat and broken break patterns and switch-ups.

A huge thank you to my wife Jenny (featured vocals on Sneakers)."

@rooomusic is the augmented projection of a London-based artist experimenting with dark electronic and pop archetypes: through intimate vocals, non-conventional songwriting and meticulous sound-design, ROOO channels social anxiety, sexuality, and over-dramatized obsessions.

"How could I be so lost in a place I know so well?
This I wonder, every day.
ROOO helps me protect, validate and affirm my existence.
I overextend through ROOO to fit a narrative dominated by augmented projections of fragmented selves; uncommonly, mine magnifies my anxieties instead of my virtues, shining a light on things that should remain unseen.

“I write to you so many words” - but never enough.
These songs feel as socially awkward as the person who wrote them.
It was all I could give from the cold abyss of my bedroom.
Two of my dearest humans helped me give them sound.
A team of female and non-binary creatives shaped their visual form.

This isolation baby was birthed as an exorcism of my ghosts; I’ve been off, disordered and ill for some time.

My moods and modes oscillate; I see myself big and then small; I dive deep in contactless limerence.
When the swing is up, everything is perfectly balanced for a second.
Only for it to go back down, over and over. Oh, not again…

And still, I wouldn’t trade that one second for anything.

I hope you loners too find solace in loneliness."

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."

"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."

"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."
