tensnake comes up trumps on remix duty after his recent successful defected releases.

striking the elusive balance between creativity, originality and pop sensibility, canyons have just unveiled the first taste from their debut album (due 2011) in the form of the new single, >my rescue<.
with an aural likeness to elements of psych, folk, house and everything deep, what is essential to canyons is that their music evokes a sense of feeling and truth, ruth. close your eyes, feel the sun on your face and prepare yourselves for the sonic vision that is canyons.

to infinity and beyond. ufo95, alias killian vaissade is a french artist and electronic music producer. in search of unknown sounds, ufo95 travels through different worlds and different eras. he finds his inspiration in the psychedelic rock from the 60s and 70s, and in the techno scene from the 90s or even the idm scene, such as aphex twin... he also draws from the jungle and experimental scenes to propel a hypnotic, alienating and decidedly unique sound. very early on, music was his calling. mainly because he lived with his family above his parents’s nightclub. killian learned to play several instruments, he will also tryout rock bands in high school. as he turned 18, he chose to move towards music through sound engineering. first contact: he was then abducted by electronic music and, selftaught, he launched other artistic projects. he started playing under other aliases, and first live performed with rgs collective. recently, he landed in the reunion island in order to set up a family start-up, which works to reclaim environmental waste. recently back in france, he confined himself out into the countryside during the spring of 2020 and fired up ufo95, an unidentified fabulous object of music. he also released his first lp >popularity is overrated< on mama told ya label, in a cosmic collaboration with anetha. ufo95 is a good guy. be like ufo95. explore. enjoy.the b-side starts with syndrome. its earth-shattering kick and hypnotic atmospheres drag the listening into a weird, occult journey. ideal for the late-night darkrooms, metaphorically and figuratively. takaaki itoh, the japanese techno sensation and founder of the acclaimed wols label, follows up with his own rendition of the track. the remix from this remarkable legend within the scene is both eerie and engaging from the get-go. its driven by a thumping kick, playful hi-hats, and modular bells – a combination that combines the whole release and makes it such an essential for djs who are daring enough to take their set toward unknown territory. the planet x label is the brainchild of the icelandic techno artist exos where the harder side of techno is explored.

almost otherworldly in its vastness and serene beauty, many musicians have drawn from the well of inspiration that is arizona’s sonoran desert, but few are quite as accomplished or prolific as steve roach. an ambient pathfinder and electronic innovator, his back catalogue as vast as those breathtaking vistas – sonic renderings of arid landscapes littered with saguaro cacti are found in good company alongside didgeridoo-focused experiments and ethereal drifts that navigate the event horizon, between the brilliance of space and a black abyss.
reminiscent of philip glass’ minimalism and the kosmische stylings of tangerine dream, ‘skeleton keys’ seemed to fall somewhere between the two. conjuring expansive meditations amongst the impossible tangle of wires that dangle from his apparatus, roach opens portals from the grand canyon state into a cluster of newborn stars with intricate, intelligent sequencing and modular synthesis.
recorded between 2005 and 2015 from roach’s famed timeroom and timehouse studios, the album was fully realized through advancements in technology, specifically, synthesizers.com’s large format analog modular sequencer. organic, fluid and intuitively kneaded into his spooling soundscapes, it’s now to be committed to cassette for the first time, bridging the synaptic gap with a new ‘expanded’ version that elongates the original 74-minute duration.

labelfounder insect o. is back with a 3 track vinyl release of his handcrafted dub techno sound. but there is always more to discover. sandstones starts with field recordings he took at the sandstone mountains of saxony switzerland national park while hiking during the pandemic. back in the studio he layered it on top of spicy chords, beautiful pads and a shuffling groove. but it is this melancholic organ that gives big emotions to the track. the second track is named after a famous little bass synthesizer. volca dub was recorded 10 years ago. it was sitting on the hard disc, waiting for the perfect moment to get finished and released. the chords of the korg volca bass are heavily modulated and tranched into swirling tape delays with a rumbling sub bass underneath. just like dub should sound. the final track everlasting he recorded live in one take on his modular synthesizer. it starts with the rolling bassline by a buchla inspired dual oscillator. a dreamy melody and melancholic chords are fading in. filter pings are providing clicky drums while white noise from the moog dfam is playing a polyrhythmic snare. pitch shifting echoes and a dreamy reverb are gluing the sounds together. it makes you remember the past and think about the future. just like memories do. and some memories last forever.
