patricia koketts sound is shrouded in a veil of mysticism. the brainchild of lithuanian gediminas jakubka, diabel’s metallic heartbeat underlies a magical superstructure that evokes some kind of dmt infused trip. or possibly even some kind of ancient ritual, where one is intoxicated by serpents blood. guided by repetitive drum patterns, it creates a slow joint dance that opens the path towards transcendence.

a 1991 classic from ron allen under his transcendence moniker back on vinyl.

when daniel kyo was producing galaxy in his studio he stood up and felt it. following several months of what he calls a -musical reset-, he knew he d hit something special. after releasing music for a decade, core might be the boldest step in his career. a new identity in which all his influences finally come together into an absolutely fresh perspective. melodies are still the main driving force of the five cuts in galaxy , but the approach is more raw and heartfelt, injecting the kind of vivacity that determines if a track it s simply a product of it s time or if it becomes timeless. borrowing elements from the cosmic side of techno, the darkest corners of trance and the glacial atmospheres of synthwave, all of the tracks in this ep ooze the kind of immediacy and transcendence you can only find in the best 90 s dance music. driven by is interest in astronomy, daniel says he tried to achieve an -outer space feeling-, we can only add that embracing the void was never so gratifying. the 12- comes housed in a sleeve designed by barcelona-based artist alicia carrera.

tmpz002 of temporize records is an ep from glasgow affiliate dam-ru, drawing on themes of gnosticism, occultism, cosmology and automatism, dam-ru displays his attempts at transcendence through sound, and delves deep into the subconscious, to a world within worlds.
he crafts complex yet warm, organic electronic music that flirts with ambient, dub and experimental sounds. with “too many voices”, his debut ep, he explores a far eastern, mystical theme in producing 4 tracks that wouldn’t feel out of place in an epic film score.

jono ma (of jagwar ma) and angus gruzman (of dreems, die orangen) present “the dreemas”. recorded between their studios in industrial north london and the rogue outskirts of berlin, the dreemas is an electronic cryogenic stasis of two life-long friends in varying states of crisis, conversion and transcendence in the year 2017. two minds and hearts coalesced into an ocean of sound, the groundwork formed with over a decade of instinctive studio sessions, sweat-riddled dj conferences, and shoulder-to-shoulder dance dos in clubs, pubs and dusty down under doofs. they’ve spent endless hours together at the bottom of salty oceans gazing up at alien aquatic life forms. for years they’ve shared synthesisers across continents, exchanged records, lived together, flown together and bleed together. and at long last they have signed a contract that says they will “techno together”. the past presents the future, and the future presents the past on this soul-state snapshot of 2 friends encapsulated in the epoch of a 12”.

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.

fresh of the back of his recent environments ten release on xvi records, south london based producer and brownswood future bubblers alumni munro returns to his own imprint arken records, bringing a few friends along for the ride. following on from his debut arken records 12-, (a limited- to 100 run which gained him support from the likes of bradley zero, jimpster & more) munro enlists the help of long time friends um river & bard, and fellow future bubblers participant revenu, delivering four upfront, forward-thinking and uncompromising tracks. from the deep, acid driven, broken beats of bards -tatala- to the cavernous, unrelenting energy of munro s -fall- - each cut seems to feed from the energy of the other, twisting and turning into constantly unexpected directions. a dark modular synthesis induced atmosphere hangs heavy throughout the record creating an almost dystopian soundscape at times. it s overpowering grooves transmit through empty space, perfect for soundtracking moments of nocturnal transcendence.

the passport to paradise gang are in fine form as they serve up four more tripped-out disco edits for the globally-minded savant. we take sail with the excellent thru wit waitin, a beefed-up guitar chugger reminiscent of 70s aor in its steady percussive work and misty sax solo. it s the guitar line that really shines here, lifting the tune into funk transcendence in the bridge. anybody out there reaches out to the disco trippers with its northern italian cosmic kitsch feel: starry-eyed synth pads float above reverb-soaked guitar musings and playful french vocal samples. a particular highlight. on the flip, ptp take things south with a soulful west african shuffler guaranteed to elicit some arresting footwork. the ep leaves us with resounding vibrations from the far east: jp wave explores ethereal planes, building up a dense rhythmic fabric punctuated by bass stabs and ornamental chimes. this is a clever bunch of edits for the more discerning selectors and enthusiasts out there- act fast.

forgotten idols lie smashed and scattered across the floor. dissonant undercurrents coerce a riptide of shattered beats as duran duran duran speeds into sight and docks directly into your neurological pathways. tracks swarm into your mind effortlessly dismantling the techno mainframe. refracted acid takes ‘sexus’ to a place where famished ghosts leer at each other across a mist-infused steam room. repeated listenings reveal new fissures, fresh layers emerge as we scrape away at the glacial enormity of this techno scree-face. redemption is in sight as we take a final pasting on ‘marathon man’, a track so banging as to provoke a wry smile on the face of any seasoned raver. at its climax it screeches under the weight of its intensity, flinging its subjects into a feral transcendence.

karen gwyer returns to cement her reputation as one of the most individual and daring voices in dance music with rembo , her first full lp for don t be afraid, following a debut on the label in late 2016 with the prophase anaphase metaphase telophase ep. reflecting the sheer energy of gwyer s improvised, undulating and unpredictable live shows, rembo captures gwyer in her element as a techno producer not afraid to smudge both the physical and emotional edges of what we may have come to expect in the club. live performance is where gwyer s ideas come into gradual but vivid fruition, with tracks often evolving over -five or six shows- before reaching the studio. here, gwyer endeavours to capture the same transcendent energy that has seen her enrapture audiences at international events such as mutek and unsound, and in support of contemporaries such as laurel halo, kassem mosse and factory floor. throughout rembo , dozens of shows and endless stolen studio hours have informed 38 minutes of uncompromising body music. rembo is a record that calls firmly to the night, an album to transport both artist and listener to dark, sweaty rooms, to shared escapism and unexpected moments of electronic transcendence. from the first note forward, on record and in the club, karen gwyer is an artist in total control, no matter where she ends up taking us

lvis mejías third release is a self curated selection of his renewed old recordings. lostoys is the result of a well-polished archive looking through the glass of composed atemporality. perceiving it as a full circled voyage wandering through jazzy hues, adventurous electronica, analog warmth and edgy digital synthesis, lostoys represents his most ludic material released, so far.

the idea of purity is always recurring when talking about techno. although purism has long been relegated to a mere excuse for fear, when understood not as vindication of a certain dogma, but as a way of approaching creative expression, purity is, as a matter of a fact, inseparable from the genre. after all, techno is something like the pursuit of transcendence - either visceral, cerebral or spiritual - through the strictly necessary means only. the search of the truest forms by just outlining them. all of this brings us to the story of uniformity , orbe s first release for hivern. the 12 comes wrapped in a screen printed sleeve with design by arnau pi.

divination is the second lp to come from liam blackburns ancestral voices project. where his debut lp night of visions, reconstructed his rhythmic approach into a primal framework, divination sheds the beats almost entirely and focuses on soaring drones and liams refined approach to ambience. there is moments of tempered elation (revelation, inscriptions, cleromancy), contrasted with black hole soundtracks (geomancy, hieratic) with the overall feel of divination becoming a gently traversing voyage through a revolving mood-scape. with divination following more beat oriented ep’s for samurai music and horo, liam redefines the sound of ancestral voices with every release.divination is a glistening example of the singular voice he provides to electronic music.divination is pressed on crisp white vinyl 3x12inch housed in a deluxe full artwork sleeve with spot varnished runes exclusive to the lp version.

the anticipation between osunlade releases are experiences in themselves. the high priest of house, his sound legitimizes the unseen spirit world that informs the pulse in every song he crafts. dedication ep functions like a sound library, a place where you can find indigenous rhythms from around the world, making osunlades musical signature both ancient and futuristic. jazz and global citizenship come through in his latest work, a decade based in greece and a lifetime submerged in the participation, creation and production of music. with dedication ep, osunlade boldly presents a mid-tempo meditative musical essay with reflections in the form of everyday conversations and everyday life. these selections meet global feelings of political anxiety with rhythm patterns that bring you closer to the gift of transcendence.

recovering from the gray decay of the winter here in berlin, we are more than ready to push forward farther into the future. in order to do so the powers at chronicle have aligned a new musical offering to test the palate of those who know, and those who care. we are pleased to present six tracks from the prolific arnaud le texier, who has made waves for years with his children of tomorrow imprint and renowned taste. from cosmic interludes to heavy hitting transcendence, arnaud manages to showcase all sides of his production skills as they translate into a compelling and emotive narrative. among them stands a tribute to one who was lost along the way that we simply do not want to forget. only rarely in this life do we stand witness to gures that make a true impression, an imprint that continues to leave a mark long after the original has passed. max_m was one of these gures, and it is through his music and immensely dignified curatorial prowess that his legacy will live on. arnaud’s poignant tribute stands as a personal note amongst an ep full of forceful techno suitable for deep space exploration

docile recordings is an independent artist label that chooses to follow its own identity. docile works to describe the beauty of our existence and depths of our depravity. these tracks represent a struggle to preserve a time and place into the grooves of the only medium that can accurately display our craft. docile is vision kept alive by good will and loyal service. docile recordings number twenty five starts with a soulful bop stumbling around nonsense words that form rhythm in an upbeat minimal jam. track two spirits a moving melody through random digitals and walls of harmonic hypnotics. track three has a childlike appeal with its cheap keyboard and boisterous synth knocking an easy melody through moments of naive transcendence. track four lumbers with a simple sterile funk thats pulled along by a masochistic chant. the names of these tracks are listed below.

at once foreign and familiar, desert sound colony brilliantly scores a nostalgic journey through the proverbial looking glass. the plaintiff vibe of the way i began envelopes the listener in warm guitar licks and hushed vocals, transporting them to a time when innocence and insecurity gave way to transcendence. the road takes a turn with fire egg, a classic stomper that drives introspection with looping guitar melody and bouncy bass. and before we return to size, iris carries us further inward with scattered claps and a skipping kick, before releasing us into a deep and chugging, eyes-wide-shut, euphoric roller.

darkside is the collaborative duo of guitarist/composer dave harrington and electronic producer nicolas jaar. darkside summon a hybrid of electronic music, psychedelic rock, and dancefloor techno with the sort of artistic depth and breadth for which the term progressive was coined. darksides first fulllength album-released on nicos own other people label in conjunction with matador records-is called psychic. darksides psychic is a watershed moment for the duo, a quantum leap forward from their 3-song debut, 2011s darkside ep. at any given moment, psychic encompasses the ritualistic structures and methodologies of krautrock, the cosmic exploration of classic space-rock, and the immersive, body-moving transcendence of 21st century house and techno-but, working with the finishingeach- others’-sentences fluidity of kindred spirits, dave and nico synthesize it all into a living, breathing whole.
