forging a distinctive sound in todays crowded techno landscape is no easy task. madrid based mario campos aka kwartz has grown his robust, propulsive sound into one of the most interesting and vital strains of modern techno. after notable releases for mord, warm up, pole recordings, and his own label ‘order & devotion’, we are excited to present a 6 track kwartz offering for horo.
purists will have their desires satiated with the driving, undulating title track and dancefloor favourite ’altered states of consciousness’ while the rest of the ep sees mario take his style into exploration mode. ‘beyond belief’ functions as an emotive centre point to the releases’ varied moods, while the off kilter static of ‘over a sign recognition’ and the writhing bounce of ‘recoil’ and ’frame dislocation’ complete the carefully sculpted form of the release.

dutch label field records is back with another special album project, this time from japanese producer ena aka yu asaeda. bridge is an introspective soundtrack for a documentary also called bridge - out this spring - which is about the dejima bridge, a reconstructed symbol of the dutch-japanese trading history in nagasaki, japan. the album finds the producer stepping outside of his usual remit of dark ambient and experimental music, and instead comprises ten shorter tracks that touch on abstract and rhythmic sounds that define the essence of japanese culture. although he has worked with the director before, this is ena s first original sound track and finds him freely inspired by the movie and heading in exciting and unknown directions. hugely atmospheric throughout, there is hypnotic repetition of sounds, strange audio design and a mixture of melancholic moods with more dreamy synths. sometimes gloopy rhythms gently ripple beneath soothing harmonies and at others times a micro-rhythm appears through the constantly shifting and evolving found sound loops. it s a compelling and unusual album that seamlessly mixes human emotions with a mechanical sense of industry.
