Random Musings, December 2018

Utrecht-based producer Corren Cavini marks a defining moment in his career with his debut album, ‘A Place To Call Home’. Spanning 11 tracks, the record blends expansive melodic techno with intimate, cinematic passages, exploring themes of memory, connection and the evolving meaning of “home.” Several tracks -  including ‘Tell Me’ and ‘Heart Of Gold’ featuring Chris Howard, as well as ‘Listen To The Silence’ and ‘Agoraphobia’ have been shared ahead of the release, offering early glimpses into the album’s emotional depth and intricate sonic architecture. 

The record unfolds like a carefully guided journey: introspective passages give way to soaring crescendos, delicate textures are juxtaposed with propulsive rhythms and tender vocals emerge amidst richly layered arrangements. Across its 11 tracks, Cavini weaves a cohesive narrative that balances cinematic scope with human intimacy, creating an immersive world where emotional resonance and dancefloor energy coexist effortlessly. 

‘A Place To Call Home’ is both a personal statement and a larger invitation: a space for reflection, connection, and discovery. Crafted with patience, precision and a deeply human touch, the album transforms listening into an experience, establishing Corren Cavini as a singular and visionary voice in melodic techno.

Release Info: 
Swiss label Dilek drops a new EP from Argentinian duo Biotech Patagonia also including a remix by UNER who is an artist who has featured on labels ranging from Bedrock and Diynamic to Sol Selectas.

Biotech Patagonia have a melodic style and a unique take on electronic music that when DJ’ing, also incorporates live vocals expertly sung by Violeta Reynal who makes up one half of the boyfriend and girlfriend duo. Constantino Vela is the other half and it’s his DJ skills which prove the backing track for the vocals.

In the studio Violeta Reynal is also a skilled pianist who brings charismatic melody to their music, whilst Constantino Vela builds the bulk of the track using analogue drum machines and synthesisers.

Creative equals, the members of Biotech Patagonia have complimenting skills, and this is the duo's debut release of original material.

For his remix, UNER has teamed up with his girlfriend Viviana Toscanini who is a South American native with musical roots that run deep in her family tree, and she has released on labels such as CibiCaldi Records. UNER to fans of the melodic genre needs little introduction, as he regularly DJ’s all over the globe, and has releases on many of the world’s best known labels.

The original mix of “Natura” opens the EP with a slow building structure full of analogue warmth. Its stripped back sound with synth parts washed in delay gives the track a cosmic feel perfect for the dance floor.

For the second track UNER and Viviana Toscanini remix “Natura” and start by adding an exquisite piano that’s brings a poignant mood to the original's stellar design. Beautiful and ambient but without forgetting about the dance floor, this intricate rework is simply stunning.

Third is “Shadows” which appropriately titled, had a dark and brooding undertone with glistening synths that skim across its surface, but it’s the introverted vocal which really adds the personality to this haunting cut.

“Genesis” is fourth on the release and with pulsating bass tones the track brings focus to the lead vocal, which compliments the mood of the dramatic melody synths. Highly conceptual and a full embodiment of the term epic, this mammoth track is a real attention grabber.

Finishing things is “Whispers” which is an intricate call and response between the bass and melody. Minimal in many senses, but still falling under the header of melodic techno, this track could for many be one of the highlights on the EP.

Tim Engelhardt & Constantijn Lange - Synced

The first on the forthcoming two-tracker from Animal Trainer, ‘Rebirth’ encompasses the feeling of anticipation and optimism. Funk and disco inspired beats and synth lines offer an irresistible hook to the track. Space-like sounds and gentle but swirling melodies build throughout with signature Frankfurt-style techno bleats peppering the track. With each minute that passes, the elements come together to work in harmony, bringing us closer to a new beginning; a ‘Rebirth’.

In a continuation on the journey that Animal Trainer have laid out in this EP, second track ‘Awakening’ projects a celestial feel. Following on from a previous sense of anticipation, we now feel we have landed in the presence of a new and higher power with ‘Awakening’. A steady pulsing beat forms the undercurrent

for this transmission. Overlaid with electrical tweets and gentle acid-esque melodies, the track delves deep with snare rhythms pinpointing clear tribal influences. A subtle-yet powerful drop welcomes the listener into the thick of this track; they’re awakened in the cosmos with Animal Trainer at the helm.
