909 RIOT

909 RIOT has a passion for hard techno, which he discovered on the noughties underground techno scene in Leeds, where he lives. He is committed to supporting underground techno in his hometown and beyond. 

Following a 10 plus year hiatus from making music he returns with an obsessive focus to dig deeper than most for those special tracks audiences won’t hear elsewhere. He brings a heavy, unique sound by seamlessly blending layers to create a hard edged, energetic and infectious mix. 

With releases on Tecno Oscuro, remixes and more in the pipeline look out for future releases from 909 RIOT that embody his principles behind the decks. He has a regular show on Fnoob Techno and has been lucky enough to be invited to play parties in Aberdeen, Swansea, Blackpool and for TRIBE here in Leeds. 

This set for LMN sees him delivering a hardgroove adventure that’s sure to put a smile on your face.

068 - 909 RIOT

Filipovich is one of a kind. The Belarus-born, Paris-based artist works in a multitude of media - found footage films, painting, silkscreening and performance to name a few. It’s her musical output that has caught the attention of late, though, with Filipovich dropping a run of releases in recent years which began with 2021’s Magnificat on Time Released Sound. Filipovich takes as much of a novel approach to her music-making as she does with her other artistic endeavours - Magnificat was centred around treated samples of Sergei Rachmaninov’s All-Night Vigil, and she’s also combined classical composition with contemporary electronic techniques on her subsequent drops.

For Idealized, Filipovich’s debut on Sheffield’s Central Processing Unit, she maintains the gothic air which characterised her previous releases and applies it to a record of widescreen contemporary techno joints. These tracks represent something of a gear shift for CPU, a label which has long made its name by delivering top-quality electro and machine-funk jams, but such is the quality of Idealized that these superbly-executed techno productions are sure to win over label fans both old and new.

Idealized is very much schooled in the German tradition of minimal/dub techno. Tracks like ‘Physical’, ‘Wave’ and ‘Dance Minor’ all anchor themselves on single, steady drum pulses and delay-drenched single-chord loops. Filipovich generally lets the central idea of these tracks play out across several minutes while introducing increasingly disorientating elements into the rest of the mix - wiccan atmospherics, clashing chords, spiralling delays and so forth. It’s an approach at once respectful of Filipovich’s predecessors - Basic Channel, Deepchord, Ellen Allien and so on - but also full of idiosyncrasies and individuality.

Many of the club cuts here hardwire us into the moody, murky environs of the darkest Berlin Basements. ‘Ultra Red’ rides forward on a crisp drum machine snap, a menacing burble of bassline and an eerie single-note synth whistle in the upper end of the mix; ‘Dance Minor’ shows off a bit of KiNK in the brain-bending modular loop that waxes and wanes at its centre; the second-half run from ‘Wave’ to closer ‘Small Cave’ travels ever-further out into deep space - the kick drums remain insistent, yet the textural elements are delivered with an edge and flair that evidences Filipovich’s ability to think outside the box.

Filipovich’s unusual methods, and the influence of sound art and electroacoustic composition on her music, are drawn out further when Idealized steps away from the dancefloor. ‘Hydra’ comes off like a more gothic version of Pole - its central pulse draws from dub techno but never quite settles into a danceable groove, and this beat is combined with the kind of unnerving keyboard work that would make John Carpenter proud. Although closer ‘Small Cave’ eventually locks into another dark-room techno roller, the opening section of the track delivers a weightless soundscape of bright, tinny chords and a scene-setting field recording.

Idealized, the first drop on Central Processing Unit from Paris-based Belarusian Lina Filipovich, broadens the label’s horizons with a selection of finely crafted minimal/dub techno joints.

Longtime fans of Sheffield’s Central Processing Unit may well remember Annie Hall. When CPU dropped her 2016 EP Tenured Positions it felt like a perfect union of label and artist - the atmospheric take on classic electro that Annie Hall had presented in her previous releases for labels such as Semantica and Detroit Underground was very much in sync with the CPU sound. Sure enough, Tenured Positions was an instant hit with CPU heads old and new, and the record remains highly sought-after to this day.

Now, four years on from Tenured Positions, the Barcelona-based Annie Hall returns to CPSmith’s imprint with new EP Fum. Fum picks up where Tenured Positions left off. Snapping broken-beat electro grooves anchor Fum’s midsection of ‘D’un Altre Planeta’ and its title-track. ‘D’un Altre Planeta’ is the most lively cut on the EP - there is real bite to the drums here which recalls everything from B12 to Star Eyes to early-90s hardcore - while ‘Fum’s beats are more low-slung and come bolstered by an electro-funk-flavoured bassline. These two tracks are bookended by ‘Verd Mar’ and ‘Promeses De Fusta’, joints which straighten out their rhythms into more linear IDM-techno beats.

As she exhibited on Tenured Positions, one of the main strengths of Annie Hall’s style is the manner in which she layers up harmony, tone and texture. Reverb- and delay-drenched synths cascade across Annie Hall’s tracks and serve to render her music in vivid colour. The combination of evocative atmospherics and grounded, stable beatwork is a technique which Annie Hall has inherited from experimental techno luminaries of the past - Autechre, Mark Bell, The Orb - and also something that she shares with other CPU artists like Tryphème and Nadia Struiwigh.

Annie Hall takes this approach once again on Fum. A fair bit of the record’s soundworld tends towards science-fiction - from the whooshing pads of ‘Verd Mar’ through the zipping synths of ‘D’un Altre Planeta’ and on to the B-movie keys of ‘Promeses De Fusta’ there is certainly an alien quality to much of this EP. However, Annie Hall is also sure to ground her astral musings by introducing softer synth sounds like the twinkling chimes in the background of ‘Fum’ and the gently lilting lead-line of ‘Verd Mar’.

For fans of Central Processing Unit, Annie Hall’s Fum is the best of both worlds. Here we have a record which brings together the roughneck electro snap of CPU’s club weapons with the melodic and textural deftness of its IDM-oriented releases.
