killer ep of hypnotic late-night techno from the rapidly maturing dark arts imprint. the brooding * point blank* kicks things off, combining twisted low end darkness with eerie orchestral stabs and immense claps – a darkly elegant opening. next up, * panic* is an essential joint, riding in on a tightly-controlled broken rhythm before a unique, string-heavy motif provides the intrigue. side 2 opens with the tensile funk of * downstream* – a sleek, driving dancefloor offering to get lost in, with space-aged atmospherics and bristling percussion sitting astride a tunnelling techno groove. finally the motorik * ricochet* combines submerged dub textures with slinky synth work – a strong closing statement for this towering record. tip! with support from the likes of dvs1, nd_baumecker, answer code request and alex do, dark arts is becoming an essential label.

das zodiak free arts lab, auch bekannt als zodiak club, war eine temporäre gleichwohl sehr einflussreiche location für experimentelle live musik ende der 1960er. von kreuzberger künstlern 1967 im damaligen west berlin gegründet, war das zodiak free arts lab für eine weile ein wahres paradies für musiker, denn das laboratorium war ausgestattet mit instrumenten, verstärkern und lautsprechern, mit denen jeder ganz nach lust und laune spielen und experimentieren durfte.
vier jahrzehnte später hatte argy die idee, das konzept des clubs wieder zu beleben. argy ist einer der wenigen produzenten, die dieser tage einen völlig eigenen dance music sound kreieren, wie man an solch großartigen eps wie >love dose< (auf pokerflat inc. erschienen) hören kann oder bei seinen remixen für ibadan und defected und natürlich auch bei all den anderen vielzähligen projekten, in die er involviert ist. anschließend an den zodiak club der 60er hat argy für einen kurzen zeitraum seine eigenen privaten räumlichkeiten in berlin geöffnet um mit kollegen und freunden zu jamen. argy konzentrierte sich jedoch nicht nur auf musik-experimente, sondern lud seine gäste ein mit ihm gemeinsam an einer reihe von happenings teilzunehmen, wie zum beispiel an live musik sessions, abendessen, der gemeinsamen erfahrung der vielen facetten von schönheit, konversationen und allerlei anderen bizarren oder exzentrischen erlebnissen.

lybes dimem is a project by visual artist and musician lukas rehm. with elaborate beat structures and the use of error, the music plays with cognitive phenomena and abstraction while maintaining an emotional refuge. lybes dimem is presented in formats ranging from spatial sound experiences to synesthetic shows complementing the auditive layers with visualizations of realtime data, computer graphics and moving image. lukas rehms installative art, and compositions have been internationally presented and awarded with multiple emerging arts prices. syncleft chronem is the first album released by lybes dimem in both digital and vinyl for-mat and accompanied by a moving image artwork. the title reflects the projects interest in the potential of difference, cognitive frictions and exertion: sync variability in the processing of auditive and visual signals, syncleft the synaptic cleft, which is a crucial empty spa- ce in biological neural networks, chronem the chroneme as a theoretical unit to measure the time of an articulated sound. mathematically clean sounds juxtapose patterns and transitions familiar from the realm of organic acoustics. multi-layered noise textures ex- plore the simulated space. a tem- porary continuity is provided by percussive and melodic elements, right until the next escalation, eventually awaiting a concluding resolution. the visual language explores different phenomena and techniques of cognition inspired by the rhetorics of big science (computer graphics, discontinuity of material, pop cultural references).

kuf create emotion-laden dialogues across layers of time and dimensions of sound. voices recorded in private are chopped up and brought out center-stage to sing with beats hammered out right here and now. glowing synths push forward. basslines rise to grab the melodic role of a track while a vowel is truncated and locked into a grid, driving the rhythm. voices move within the frame of a sample, performed by hands pushing keys, guided by the ear, immersed in a trio sessions deep flow… a vortex of quirky hands, responsive ears and glowing circuits. since thomas a. edison first recorded the human voice in 1877, the recording arts have changed music forever. musicians have explored the endless possibilities of bouncing their input onto layers of tape, off the walls of an echo chamber or the circuitry of electronic helpers - technology that modulates, spatializes, shifts, divides or multiplies the work of human hands and mouths. an era of sampling offered a cubistic analysis of the recorded past and djs took dancers onto intricately fractured time travels. this is the historic foundation that kuf keep probing.
