new label based in london / first release comes from a french trio

million brazilians formed in portland, oregon in 2006. founding members grant corum and suzanne stone have been central to the band since its inception, while a rotating line-up backs them depending on the latest vision for the sound. tip! the band carry out their own interpretation of a genre bending ethos that has evolved throughout the american underground. drifting between boundless compositions, focused energetic improvisations and experimental collaborations that embrace a weird sort of transcendence. their next installment red rose and obsidian was recorded in maine and engineered by big blood’s caleb mulkerin. both he and the band deliver a powerful yet fragile and personal release. the mythical and evocative recordings are inspired by maine s rugged coastlines, mournful ripples of sound wash up on the shore, whilst a lonesome, at times harrowing saxophone drifts through the rolling mountains, providing unsettling melodic interludes. electronic treatments veil organic sounds, a fleeting whistle meets spontaneously with spacey flutes, mutated rock rhythms are topped off with the soaring vocals of suzanne stone who leads the listeners into the magical world of the million brazilians.

italian trio agents of time make their ellum debut with a weighty, two track release. magma shares remnants of label head maceo plexs own formidable style, with compelling synths, punchy claps and a rumbling bassline. obsidian is finally seeing a release after causing heat from fur coat’s feature in their bbc essential mix a few months ago. heady, powerful, stirring, expertly crafted, adjectives that are regularly used for ellum releases and agents of time have confidently followed their predecessor’s footsteps. agents of time are andrea di ceglie, fedele ladisa and luigi tutolo. making music together since july 2013, they have clocked up an album on stem records and the massive polina ep on correspondent. their supporters include dixon, agoria and tiga, and their sound has been brought to over 20 countries through a live platform with analogic instruments.

„obsidian“ lässt raum für melodie zwischen den kicks und snares und öffnet sich dem hörer in einem traumähnlichen gefilde. damage verzichtet dabei eher auf rohe beats, tracks wie „cosmonaut“, „parallax view“ und „transmission“ liefern aber mit sicherer schlagkraft einen adrenalinschub. es sind jedoch die sphärischen titel wie „pulse width“ und „poly“, das acid-angehauchte „tetrapod“ und das großartige „shimmer“, mit denen sich der künstler tiefer in das unbekannte wagt. man fühlt sich an die genialität von afx, skam und autechre erinnert. „obsidian“ zeichnet sich durch ein zusammenspiel von wärme, herz, seele und viel viel schweiß aus und zeichnet somit ein perfektes bild und ein grandioses finale für das label. benjamin damage selbst beschreibt das album als: -collection of fragmented memories from all the music i’ve ever liked, distorted and restructured into a full length techno record. a purely personal project and an end of an era with 50weapons.” man vergisst schnell, dass benjamin damage erst seit 2010 platten veröffentlicht. nur zwei jahre, nachdem sein erster track released wurde, erschien sein hochgelobtes debüt-album „they!live“ zusammen mit doc daneeka. damages erste solo-album folgte im folgenden jahr und zeigte eine entwicklung hin zum von plaid und jeff mills geprägten sonic sci-fi. kritiker lobten die wärme und rückkehr des souls in die von kälte geprägte welt des berlin-techno.

the *obsidian falls* ep from seattles josef gaard sits at a very fascinating but incredibly complimentary space between traditional techno tendencies and freeform ambient composition and experimentation. each track seamlessly references each other providing a straightforward sense of cohesion while maintaining a constant and aggressively progressive motion. the ep will guide and gently coerce the listener into experiencing a somewhat altered perspective on sonic and musical expression. without much notice the listener will effortlessly travel from point a to point c without realizing they have ever touched on point b.

three years ago, baths dropped his startlingly beautiful debut, cerulean. released on anticon, the record blurred the line between post-modern pop and the la beat scene with devastating emotional clarity. its tone was as celestial as its album title, taken from a shade of blue typically used to describe the sky.
cerulean earned year-end best-of recognition from pitchfork and the onions a.v. club and established chatsworth-raised will wiesenfeld as one of the finest young composers (and falsettos) in los angeles. his sophomore album, obsidian, finds him emerging as one of the most complete artists of his generation. as you might expect, the name hints at darker overtones. the mood is shimmering and pitch-black, the lovely blood flow has turned into lava.

part 1 of rommeks set in stone trilogy for blueprint sets the tone of the ep with an ambience of dark, atmospherics that build intensely leaving you with a feeling of anticipation of what is to come. rommek then delivers 3 tracks of rhythmic techno from the driving 4/4 of obsidian, to the gripping 3/4 of rhyolite, finishing with the disjointed spatial beats of scoria. idm sound design constantly evolving the menacing undertones.

john heckle last released an album on tabernacle three years ago, but he s been far from quiet since then with his head front panel project diverting his attention towards blistering hard techno. tone to voice then represents a return to more melodic pastures with a more diverse selection of tempos and moods to choose from, but still heckle s innate gift for expressive, dynamic machine music shines through. -sonic spectrometer- is a joyous slice of techno-jazz, while -potential life- whips up stunning cascading synth lines and pattering hats. at times, there s no need for a kick, and with ample ambient excursions woven into the mix this stands as one of heckle s most accomplished releases yet.
