the house is invisible at this point and the music turns out the side on an axis. look around, everything seems a bit off .. the colours are distorted but something seems different, it’s as if everything has shifted slightly or moved a few inches to the left. there’s static, i blink and i can see the house again, but it’s not the same. the third release on 0 produced by c3d-e and hashman is disorienting liquid art - warped and provocative, spread again across two full sides.

“tyrants” by raz ohara is an album that is rich and diverse in its sonic palette, ranging from harshly distorted synth-peaks, cinematic soundscapes, all the way to avant-garde contemporary classical, and jazz music.

ltd repress , chaos in the cbd s ben & louis helliker-hales team up with long-time friend and collaborator jon sable to present their new imprint ‘in dust we trust.’ in dust we trust is an ode to a collection of friends who share a certain understanding, who live by a love and respect for the people around them. that friend who saves that last puff for you, that friend who will share their drink with you when you can t afford your own, that friend who will learn how to drive a car on the spot because you re too drunk to make it home. kicking things off with a release from chaos in the cbd, ‘accidental meetings’ is a record that celebrates this way of living. the four cuts effortlessly move you through a journey of delicate textures and atmospheres. it begins with the late night basement sounds of the title track, then sends you through the spacious and meditative ‘north pole cafe.’ the wild rhythms of ‘united identities’ hypnotise you, until you find yourself spat out by the energetic grooves of ‘distorted fields.’ play it in the club, play it in the hotbox, or play it for your mum, this record is filled with soulful, rhythmically complex, melancholic music that is unmistakably dusty.

echocord returns late june with a new release, joel alter under his jor-el alias, entitled ‘tilted reality’ and comprising three originals from the swedish artist. currently based in copenhagen, sweden born producer and dj joel alter is a name synonymous with the contemporary techno scene on both his home turf and across the globe, his back catalogue to date features a long player for the uncanny valley imprint, solo ep’s for d’julz’ bass culture, sweatshop and collaborative works for kontra musik alongside henrik johnsson amongst much more. this time round though we see alter return under his jor-el guise under which he first started releasing material on dj hell’s internation deejay gigolo imprint. up first is title-track ‘tilted reality’ laid out over seven minutes with a slowly unfolding dynamic feel, encompassing spiraling atmospherics, distorted rhythms and blooming stab- sequences. ‘elevation’ follows and takes a more direct groove-driven approach via straight four-four percussion and hooky bass chops, whilst tension building pads and fluttering dub echoes gradually build around the foundation. ‘solitude’ closes out the package deliving into deeper realms with soft ethereal dub chords, acid tinged leads and emotive strings.

but the continuous stream wouldn’t provide sufficient answers for long. observing rudimentary structures sewer sender became tantalized with a vision of reverbation from lower vaults of confinement. waves reminiscent of solid concrete yet deeply seated below the ocean surface form and merges with the narrow surroundings. manitou takes the first step by setting a clear form for something deep seated. proceeding extends the notion of martinous inaugural appointment “procedure” with a take on industrial drums reverbing from the depths. never (anthem) takes the first part of the ep to fruition with stripped anthemic stabs and alarms to a strict and cleanly distorted beat. jargon solidifies concrete solid with enigmatic percussions over jaunty kick patterns. i have lost again focus on a dramatic narrative with hypnotic vocal stabs rolling over an intense kick and climatic builds. needlessness frames the entire release combining both the concrete solid and the deep sea seated with again a take on martinous inaugural release “needless”&#894,,, leaving the frail thematic stab subdued by syncopated kicklike percussion and soaring hihats to create a toollike appearance.

the 2008 enigma album back on black 180 gram vinyl.

repress - pursuing their explorations in the vast corridors of international funk and disco music, favorite recordings and bruno patchworks hovart present us voilaaa. with this first single composed of 2 tracks that clearly reveal the afro-disco inspiration of this new experience, favorite also expands its new series of disco 12inch singles recently launched with several fine reissues, but this time with one of its special homemade production recipe. under the imprint of the label and after their long years of collaboration in the achievement of projects such as the dynamics, mr president, mr day, patchworks galactic project, or taggy matcher, the insatiable french producer therefore returns to his first love and specialty, disco music, staring this time at the african and caribbean influences. indeed, as everywhere in the 70s and 80s, funk and disco movements were extremely influential in these regions, and in most cases, the combination of the festive, yet sometime futile nature of disco, and the instinctive, deep, sometimes rough nature of african music, sounds like a perfect balance. aiming to find back this energy and specific sound, patchworks quickly began producing a few tracks, using his unique and ruling beats and bass lines as foundations, this time he dresses all with guitars, keyboards and brass distorted with vintage and diy effects pedals and boxes. with a very dynamic music scene around him in lyon, where there is no shortage of artists with african origins, he decided to surround himself with singers from the region, even if it means to accompany them on unusual musical paths. a more than successful bet with a result surprising of authenticity, as it’s unveiled by these first two titles alongside sir jean and pat kalla, both from a musical background as rich than different. with an album planned for the end of the year, that promises to be as explosive and magnetic, patchworks and favorite recordings make a strike again and confirm them a little more if needed, as the true warrant of the modern dancefloors loyalty, to the spirit of their mythical ancestors
