Press Info:
The 30D Records machinery does not stop. A new stylistic adventure has been concretized in the new label’s series “Eyes Have It”, which will be conducted by the well-known Sonar and 30D’s resident DJ, Angel Molina, as A&R.

The Lucio Fulci’s movies iconic scary-eyes synthesizes the series essence perfectly. “Eyes Have It” builds the fundamentals for the boundless experimentation, lightlessness, cold and mechanical dynamics.

The EP “Shelter” is the very first result of this new proposal, an incontestable work signed by Isolated Lines. The Swiss artist has a solid background in underground music throughout various projects, in and outside of electronics.
That means a wider creative resources that can be easily noticeable, for instance, in the music harmonies. Avant-garde, solid sound and savoir-faire, that is what defines the Isolated Lines production.

“Shelter” EP stylistic codes are crystal clear, brazen obstinacy of the rhythm base which sets the basis for epic distorted textures, that may become deeply emotional, like in the cases of “Onshore” and “Landfall”. Steadfast rhythmic cycles on slamming sound mantras.
Furthermore, the EP includes an industrially nervous revision of “Onshore” constructed by 30drop.

Isolated Lines’ “Shelter” EP is an utterly flawless starting point for this strongly promising new 30D series. So henceforth, keep always an eye on “Eyes Have It”!

Press Info:
Rapid Eye Movement co-founders VII Circle and Memorial Home team up for a split release featuring four atmospheric techno cuts entitled ‘Split EP’.

Launched in 2017, Rapid Eye Movement is based in Barcelona and co-owned by VII Circle, an Italian duo comprised of Andrea Vallisneri and Andrea Casari, and Memorial Home, who is French artist Paul Roux and Belgium’s Jeremy Pinchasi. Both label owners provided Rapid Eye Movement’s first and second release before introducing artists like Phara & Border One, Manent and Kas:st in a various artist package earlier this year. They now partner up for the label’s fourth outing.

VII Circle inaugurates the package with ‘Metaphysical Functions’, an ominous production incorporating murky drones and skittering hats. Next is ‘Dogma’, with its rumbling drums, echoing melodies and fizzy nuances before Memorial Home takes over on the flip, beginning with the syncopated drums and celestial harmonies of ‘Second Floor’. The duo then concludes the release with the skipping percussion, tantalising synths and crystalline chords of ‘Ampere’.

out now: Hioll – Lights EP [Abstraction]

 

Artist:
Hioll

 

Title:
Lights EP

 

Label:
Abstraction

 

Cat#:
ABS008

 

Release Date:
09th June 2018

 

Format:
digital

 

Tracklist:
01.
Lights

02.
The Man From Outer Space

03.
Second Intentions

04.
The Ancient Notes

 

Press Info:
Hioll returns to Abstraction, this time with an EP of four original tracks. “Lights” is a rhythmic tool with touches of futurism that plays with the listener’s mind as it progresses. “The Man From Outer Space” shows an alien melody and a powerful acid bassline capturing the essence of that sound that was big in the 90’s. “Second Intentions” immerses us in an atmosphere of distant textures and opaque sounds playing with these elements to build a script. Finally, “The Ancient Notes” styles rusty and saturated synths with a subtle hint of melancholy. Our eighth reference stands out for its dynamism and versatility as well as its functionality for any room or venue.

out now: Lucy – Tarkomania [Stroboscopic Artefacts]

 

Artist:
Lucy

 

Title:
Tarkomania

 

Label:
Stroboscopic Artefacts

 

Cat#:
SATOTEM001

 

Release Date:
18th June 2018

 

Format:

Tarkomania

(Dub)

B2.

(Acapella)

 

Press Info:
Stroboscopic Artefacts is releasing its latest addition to the forward leaning edge of electronic music with the Totem series. Unfurling as a chain of transparent 10” vinyls, each of the Totem releases will have a subtly divergent take on the aesthetic space defined by techno and club culture. Totem continues investigations previously established by Stroboscopic Artefacts, namely the relation between sound and material object, spatiotemporality and the architecture of music. The series aims to collapse the artist, their intention and resonance with the public into one object, an artifact of beauty and functionality, the emblemized transparent 10-inch. In choosing a less common format for the Totem series, Stroboscopic Artefacts aims to reinforce the cognition that each of these pressings is a unique object, carrying a message that will develop as the record’s existence moves through space and time.

The productions of label-head, Lucy, aka Luca Mortellaro, will be the first pressed into the icy vinyl of the Totem series. The three-track EP, titled “Tarkomania”, is a circular meditation on specific musical and philosophic themes, and a warm invitation into Lucy’s famously nuanced sound processes. The A-side title track stakes out the sonic territory which the next two tracks will work within: an angular dance floor interlude, “Tarkomania”, builds dark hued mood and texture over one of the spilling monologues of Russian cult classic film director Tarkovsky’s in “Stalker”. The monolog is a probing search for meaning and inspiration within the creative process, a theme that Mortellaro was quick to establish at the beginning of the discourse that will accompany the duration of Totem. “Tarkomania Dub” on B1 takes the listener one circle deeper into the groove filled anxiety set forth in A1, flickering between a set of industrial sounds windows, anchored by the guttural voice of Takovsky’s writer and snippets of the warm and moody synth that accompany the listener throughout the EP. “Tarkomania Acapella” on B2 is a summation of these elements with an emphasis on the “Stalker” monolog. Greater than the sum of its parts, Lucy’s contribution to the Totem series is a succinct, if veiled and mysterious, investigation into the eternal questions that define the artistic process.
