Press Info:
YGAM presents Les Bergers du Galetas, Magnétisme Animal’s debut EP, in which they share their intimate view of society.



Formed by brg and Catartsis, the French duo invites the listeners to dive into a journey through the density of the modern metropolis. In a time of materialistic fetishism, where superficial occurrences and capitalism rule, the 4-track EP acts in opposition to these current matters. However, rather than trying to create a contrasting sonic landscape, Magnétisme Animal use sounds recorded in their environment to elaborate pieces that bear the heavy and frenetic industrial atmosphere of our urban sceneries. All sorts of clanging metal, steam discharge, electromagnetic static noise, train rails frictions, sirens and distant traffic, are combined with breathing, footsteps and vocal humming to create an oddly industrial as much as organic soundscape. The EP starts with a noise track that recalls some of the compositional processes of musique concrète, to then slowly drifts towards rhythmically oriented pieces. Être c’est être coincé, with its ponderous bass and distortion work, appears as a peculiar blending of noise and techno, while L’Enthousiasme des statues displays a more traditional and dance floor approach to rhythm and drums, but still leaves space for an uncanny sound decor to unfold. The project ends with La Toute-Toute, a repetitive ambient track filled with subtle sounds, where one can wander as spoken words underline a sense of melancholy. Les Bergers du Galetas is an unsettling industrial tapestry, a strange study of noises, that depicts the contemporary frenzy of the artists’ environments they referred to as the urban jungle. A landscape where one is a witness of the disparity of human conditions, where mind and body coexist with difficulty, where one is subject to conformism, where one is lost in the smog while carried by the masses through the cemented maze.

Press Info:
The vision of techno is presented by seven producers from electronic music scene of Poland.

ISNT, a very well know female dj and promotor, who has recently started producing hypnotic techno productions. Less known, and deeply dark, developing project – the OBKT, which is the result of the cooperation of two well-known dark techno producers Milena Kriegs and Eastern Renaissance. Together with them on the compilation, the lesser-known producers are completing and emphasizing the character of the compilation, Nternal Bserver (read: Internal Observer), who has already released several EP’s and single tracks abroad, and who focuses on playing varied and heavier sound during liveacts. TRNAH, a female producer with a lot of experience on musical collaborations, who shows with her charming song, that a techno album containing more powerful and hypnotic sound can also be filled with nostalgia and exceptionally captivating sadness.

Label has plans to work on next releases. The idea of supporting less known producers together with their more experienced colleagues will be preserved.
Those plans are just takes shapes for the young record label, but the great support that accompanies both the label and its anonymous creators from Unknown Timeline brings closer the time of subsequent decisions.
