July 17, 2023July 14, 2023 hipodromealessandro adriani, anthony linell, kr3, shed, techno, tensalLeave a comment

“Forgiveness of Blood Remixes” shows a modern vision of techno voiced by the sound of the four artists involved: SHED, Anthony Linell, Alessandro Adriani and Tensal. Static and hypnotic waves of strain recur, even though the 4 tracks represent 4 different major expressions of what techno explicitly and implicitly stands for. Forgiveness of Blood Remixes – is a distillation of the modernist and nostalgic sound capable of impacting both on the dance-floor and mentally. Four strongly evocative tracks that narrate not only the artists’ but also the label’s path.

Aubrey – Breaking Out EP [SG37]

Aubrey has always brought a detailed sense of sound design to his heavy techno. The Berlin-based artist does that again here on a first EP on his own Solid Groveos since 2016. Two tracks delve into his archives to come up with some rare and obscure jams from the 90s. One is “Lose Yourself”, a bright and cosmic take on techno, while “Breaking Out” offers golden US-style house with nice frayed synths and smoky depths. Two new cuts are “Chase Mind” – a cavernous and dubby, with whimsical pads and unrelenting bass locking you in a trance, then “Mr Muscle”, a twisted acid techno closer that completes a varied and vital EP.

Dorisburg & Sebastian Mullaert – That Who Remembers LP [SPAZIO027]

July 16, 2023July 13, 2023 hipodromealbum, alexander berg, ambient, ambient techno, dorisburg, experimental, sebastian mullaert, spazio disponibileLeave a comment

To prepare for “That Who Remembers”, Dorisburg (aka Alexander Berg) and Sebastian Mullaert set up their equipment in Malmo’s empty Inkonst venue, spending several days immersed in its atmosphere, using the lights, smoke machine, and Soundsystem to create an authentic club environment where they could freely improvise. The result is a suite of free-flowing sounds that draws on both artists’ backgrounds in reduced techno and ambient music, sailing thoughtfully through near-future landscapes and punctuating them with shimmering, kosmische textures, decaying sonic memories, and fragile rhythms. Not dance music exactly, it’s music that instead considers the spirit of an empty dancefloor, wondering which elements might remain when feet have left the building entirely.

An Italian disco classic produced by one of Italy’s top disco pop entrepreneurs – Constantino Paolini – featuring the voice of Vesuvian actress and TV personality Patrizia Pellegrino. “Musica Spaziale” is a fast paced synthy disco number adorned with signorina Pellegrino’s silky smooth vocals, featuring lusty cosmic nuanced lyrics that arguably invite the listener to some form of astral bliss in the company of the blond starlet. A classic amongst collectors and specialists of the genre, made available to your record collections once again without having to sell any of your kidneys. In addition, also an extended edit, that patiently slows down the tempo but also extends this cosmic climax on the dancefloor in a manner respectful to the original masterpiece, allowing the dancers to savor every moment of this celestial voyage without all the rush of the 7″ version . Flip it and things get propelled in direction to some other acidic orbits with DJ Asshole’s tripped out downtempo 8′ intervention.

Groundbreaking release from the early 80’s produced with rather primitive synthesizers with as result “A Dog in the Night” a track with a thick sound, unusual for its time.

Silicon Scally, the alias of electronic music producer Carl Finlow, released his critically acclaimed album ‘Mr Machine’ in 2002 on SCSI-AV. The album was a masterful blend of electro and sci-fi soundscapes, showcasing Finlow’s unique style and production prowess, which took the listener on a journey through a futuristic world of machines and technology. It ranks as one of the finest electro records of the early noughties. Fast-forward to 2023 and Sync 24’s Cultivated Electronics label is proud to present ‘Mr Machine PT 2’. Like its predecessor, the new album is filled with intricate synth melodies, driving rhythms, and pulsating basslines, all perfectly balanced to create an immersive listening experience. ‘Mr Machine PT 2’ once again showcases Finlow’s ability to not only create relentless beats for the dancefloor but also dynamic soundscapes that transport the listener to another world. Created using a mixture of both old analog gear and very modern plugins, both albums were written with a very strong emphasis on the machine aesthetic, reflecting the cutting edge of what was available at their respective times. Futuristic and timeless. The album will be released on triple-pack vinyl and digitally.

Swedish producer Ola Obergman has been at the top of his game for over 20 years now, dropping superb electro on the finest labels. Last year he dropped a fantastic full-length album on Pariter, but now steps up to Infiltrate with a direct dance floor offering. ‘Norma Cluster’ pairs busy drums and bass with more atmospheric leads before ‘Invariant Hyperbola’ has a perfectly crisp boom-bap that is run through with synth sequences that get your head amongst the stars. ‘Sterile Neutrino’ is more raw and ragged with another irresistible rhythm and ‘Dragonfly44’ closes in a thoughtful fashion.

Blotter Trax was a collaboration between two storied artists, techno titan Magda and serial underground aggravator (and man of many aliases) Jay Ahern. Now they are back in updated and expanded form, a trio thanks to the addition of bassist Hannes Strobl. The band will release their far-sighted, funk-fuelled debut album, “Superconductor”. A pulsating, thrill-in-minute ride includes contributions from a swathe of notable guests (Nina Hynes, Ilhem Khodja and David Moss provided vocals, Shigeru Tanabu played guitar, Matthew Styles mixed the set and John Tejada mastered it). While rooted in electro and acid, the album is impressively low-slung, stylish and funky, with nods towards Blotter Trax’s mutual love of Arthur Russell, early ‘80s NYC downtown disco, leftfield new-wave pop and flash-fried punk-funk.

Ricardo Laine debuts on Pinkman with 10 tracks of cinematic new beat that are captivatingly packed with tension and high drama. From the opening synths of breakbeat-laden chugger ‘The High Tide’, an unnerving sense of dystopian dread builds from track to track and doesn’t let off until the very end. ‘Asleep In Their Myst’ is another chapter in the evolution of the mysterious Toronto-based artist Andre E-R – also known under the techno moniker R-oderick – and an emotionally charged reflection on self-discovery and shame. Filled with industrial jack and twisted electronics, the album is a wall-to-wall collection of club-ready compositions that are all killer, no filler.

Ninechecker is an electro producer from Ontario, Canada, who released with Delsin and Central Processing Unit to name a few. Adding to his extensive releases belt, he delivers four stone cold new ones for electro-techno-breakbeat Orson. With its name maybe nodding to the generative creation of fantasy landscapes in 3D CGI software, highlights like ‘Magagun’ convey a weird kind of horrific calculator-nightmare (bloop freakouts aplenty) between the beats, all going to make this a stellarly exciting EP.
