every day they order alix to wake up. and he wakes up. they order him to eat. and he eats. they order him to get up. and he gets up. they order him to enter the white room. and he enters. they order him to lie down. and he lies down. and then. as they tie his hands and feet with some of the many ironworks. ribbons and straps that are in the room. alix. who is not aware that he was released. falls asleep. it is the moment in which his brain registers each and every one of the words that were said to him. and he does it so avidly. unconsciously. but avidly. however. the darkness rapidly falls. stifling any hint of brain activity in a few seconds. again the impenetrable blackness. again the night. wake up.

zuli’s new offering trigger finger is a game of shadowy atmospheres and unquiet spirits. it functions as a spacial and temporal compactor. using sampling and field recordings to reconstruct reality’s dissonance. while at the same time reverse its own introspective character into bass weight and outworked tension. a kind of extremization of zuli’s own roots as a beatmaker for the cairo rap scene. tinged with the clandestine and delirious urbanism of grime and jungle. and fronted by the necessity to face its own dark side. but the dark and crusty sonic palette does not limit the possibility for the tracks to display various layers of emotional content.

third album from the french spacerock electro combo masterminded by richard pinhas. heldon’s darkest work lays another stone in their sonic mosaic: synths. drones. fuzz and trippy improvisations. intense heldon!

only one month after the release of their first ep on mt on may 2018. vactrol park continue surprising. this time with a full lp in the shape of “music from the luminous void”.the album sees vp delve much deeper into more atmospheric realms. using modular synths and unexpected drum machine sequencing they leave the 4x4 beats behind in favor of off-world rhythms and ever growing bass. &#8232..... starting with drops’s high frequency tension. laying on top of those heavy kick drums it keeps on growing and growing. from there it moves to the “end of the party” groove that is novikov’s notation. and its trippy monotonic rhythm. the a-side ends with the heavy sampled ambient track macbeth. bringing forward that mesmerizing flute solo by italian artist luca spagnoletti yet succeeding in avoiding the kitsch. and with a touch of class. &#8232.....&#8232.....the b-side delves even deeper into ambience and atmospheric muzak. starting with bells. that features again spagnoletti on flute. then we get into the real gems of the album - anstruther and glove. the first is a pure trip into modular psychedelia and repetitive jazzy-like drum rhythms. creating tension right from the start and plays with it throughout the track before decaying slowly into glove. which is in sense both the catharsis and the decompression session of the album. like a 2018 version of vangelis. this track’s soundscape will keep you dreaming with your eyes closed long after the album ends. &#8232.....

auf dem bis dato facettenreichsten und zugleich schlüssigsten werk daniel lopatins. verknüpft der 35-jährige die unterschiedlichsten musikalischen einflüsse – von alter musik über country- und folk-balladen bis hin zu melodischem pop. computer-musik und noch ganz anderen stilen –. womit er abermals eindrucksvoll belegt. wie vielschichtig und komplex sein musikbegriff ist. indem er klangwelten entwirft. die einerseits verwirrend geläufig sind. dabei aber doch ganz klar seine handschrift tragen. entführt er die hörer und hörerinnen im verlauf von -age of- auf vollkommenes neuland.
