Press Info:
It pulses and glows distantly. It eludes me, slides further away. There is an aurora just over the horizon, behind the peaks. I am in an open space, a plane expands on all sides. I stand on a plateau and the earth rises up before my eyes. Hardened lava or the metamorphosed oceanic floor thrusts upwards. Zenithal. Now I see: all matter is vibrating, always, but on a scale that wasn’t perceivable before. Lights resonate on the brink of my vision. Sound grows and I can no longer locate my body in space. My limbs expand, coalesce, mell with the air in a regular pulse. I radiate. If nature is an infinite sphere, then its center is everywhere, coinciding with me. Direction is irrelevant. I vacillate, I ascend a perpetually spiralling helix. I pace the strands and strains of existence. When I stand still the helix continues to unfurl beneath me. I evolve upwards. Particles click in and out of being. In here there’s no need for eyes.

What used to be my body is now only movement itself, a flow of sounds in fleeting waves. I amplify, refine, diffuse. In this space, nothing can be named. Individual forms no longer exist. All matter expands and contracts together. Breathes in and out. This is crystalline immersion. This is the realisation that a true void exists nowhere, not in nature nor in the mind.

Press Info:
Isolatracks
As a DJ, Producer and independent promoter, Danny Isola now launches his own platform for full autonomy of his output and to further progress along the artistic path that he has been crafting over the past decade. The Isolatracks label focuses on pushing the boundaries of organic layering between textural sounds, forged over grounded track constructions. ”Isola”, meaning “Island” in Italian, hints at the inspiration taken from nature in order to finely weave tracks with organic integrity. For now Isolatracks’ focus lies with its founder and curator, following a vision of creating rhythmic pulsing sonic forms, balancing momentum and finesse. Building upon his experience of promoting clubnights, the Label will promote events on Berlin’s highly competitive turf while operating a busy release-schedule.

With You In Space
Detroit-influenced ode to the old-shool. Jacking hi-hats and longing signal-sounds. Mesmerizing pad-work in full effect.

Syllogism
Relentlessly rolling, forward-thinking Technotrip.

Press Info:
This is the new release by berlin based techno duo I/Y. the music is part of an interdisciplinary project between the international artist collective exc and I/Y which included an exhibition in a downstairs parking lot, the publication of the artistbook “pxrkxnglxt 2” together with the novel “raum in einem raum” by exc-co-founder eric keil and a short unmoved silent film for which I/Y did the soundtrack. This soundtrack now comes as an exclusive vinyl release along with an inlay artist edition, showing the dark scenery where the” film” takes action…
The artist book and the novel are published on rhein verlag and will also be distributed as a special edition together with the record at papierundgelb.de.

Vinyl comes with limited edition artwork by EXC Artist collective (high quality print).

This is the beginning of a new series for the label, which will probably showcase different collaborations with dolphins and artists from different fields.

So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish

EXC Artists collective: The impersonal figure »exc« observes and archives, artefacts created by modern culture and natural progression. This research is the soil for projects, presentations and publications in the complementary fields of arts and design, such as architecture, installation, music, photography, film and dance.
»Exc« is based in Düsseldorf, Berlin and New York. Dolphins control the moon. It’s quite far-fetched, but what if dolphins are indeed dangerous super intelligent creatures that created a secret base underwater from which they control a mercury-fueled spacecraft? From the Earth’s natural satellite, they can manipulate our minds with a special signal vastly known as the I/Y XXX sound wave. Think about it, question everything.
