Eudemonia marks a significant milestone with its 20th release: Cerebral Waves, the debut EP from Irish sound engineer and producer Kevin O’Reilly, known under his alias Otherend. This four-track collection dives deep into the electro continuum, weaving together cerebral rhythms, acidic textures, and cosmic atmospheres. The EP closes with a remix from Sound Synthesis, who brings a smooth melodic drive while keeping the release’s spacey character intact.
Here it is.. the final chapter from Orbital Mechanics. Founded by Sound Synthesis and JDSK back in 2021 and what a journey it has been. To finish in a nice way the 10th and final chapter is a double 12″. Transmission out…The End
We start presenting our favorite tracks from 2024. More or less in a chronological order we present here the fourth set of tracks.
The Maltasian master Sound Synthesis with a brand new album! Another fine timeless journey into electro and electronix that will stand the test of time..
The Orbital Mechanics saga is almost coming to an end, here is the 9th of a 10 in total series. Again Sound Synthesis is delivering the finest top quality acidic vocoder electro.
Beautiful split release from MmWave and Sound Synthesis feat. 3 tracks on each side of fine acidic electro and breakbeat infused elctronix sounds.
On the 16th vinyl release from ELECTRO MUSIC COALITION, Robot Connection #001, an international lineup of producers comes together: the owner of the Orbital Mechanics record label, Maltese artist Sound Synthesis; the Belgian composer Arsonist Recorder, known for running ZwaarteKracht Records; and two members of the EMC label team, Neonicle and sin:it:sin.
Distant Worlds welcomes back Sound Synthesis for a second outing of warm, melodic electro. Fine attention to detail, crisp sonics and deep bass complete the package for an exploration of harmony across all 4 tracks.
In the face of the atrocities committed against Palestinians in both Gaza and all occupied territories the Jordanian label Dreaming Live issued this fundraiser compilation under the title ENOUGH!
All proceeds from this compilation will support Dr. Ghassan Abu-Sittah’s Children’s fund. Dr. Ghassan had volunteered extensively in Gaza throughout multiple crises. During this genocide, he worked in both Al-Ahli and Shifa hospitals. He was a survivor of the Ahli Hospital bombing which killed hundreds. His press conference outside of the hospital, surrounded by dead bodies, will be etched in our memories forever. He has now established a Children’s Fund which aims to treat injured children, rebuild the destroyed medical infrastructure, and establish a sponsorship program for 20,000+ orphans from the conflict.
Sound Synthesis returns to eudemonia with another stellar acid-infused Electro EP. This time the Maltese delivers four wonderfully crafted tracks that send you to the outer space.
Sound Synthesis is back with another fine 4 tracker of dark, acidic and futuristic electro on his label Orbital Mechanics.
There is some serious electro talent on this new EP from Fanzine, starting with Carl Finlow. His machines are in fine fettle once more as crisp, kicking electro rhythms are overlaid with bright, silvery, pixelated melodic fireworks on the sublime ‘Organoiods’. Hoax Believers get more gritty with the sheet metal snares and in-your-face arps of ‘Short Circuit’ while Sound Synthesis offers something moody and unsettling on their ‘Vertex43’. Univac will make your eyes water with the abrasive textures of ‘H Beat.’
Sound Synthesis, Acidulant and RAIM perform their best Electro Acid tracks on the second Zodiak Commune ‘The Electro Guilde’ release. RAIM is a collaboration between Sound Synthesis and Acidulant.
Maltese producer Sound Synthesis continues a wildly prolific run following not one but two albums dropped this year, not to mention another four EPs before this one. His Orbital Mechanics series has carried some of his most sharply focused electro workouts of the past two years and so it continues with this new care package from the dark side of the circuit board. ‘DNS Musik’ is a nightmarish electro-techno growler, while ‘Programming Your Mind’ has a sleeker approach without disrupting the eerie mood. ‘Endless Moments Of Beauty’ has a stronger melancholic tint to its expansive pads, and ‘Memorable Nights’ lays on some heavy-hearted emotional tones which offer a fine foil to the tougher demeanour of the A-side.
RAIM is a collaboration project between Sound Synthesis and Acidulant. The pair met at an underground garage in their hometown on the island of Malta, where they would gather with friends to listen to records from Europe and the UK – The likes of Warp Records, Rephlex, Planet Mu, UR and R&S. Recorded Live at Earth Garden Festival, Enchanted Forest for Pudina on 3rd June 2023.
First Various Artists EP on eudemonia with four electro tracks by Sound Synthesis, Hermeth, Caramel Chameleon and Larionov each exploring the acid side of the universe.
Sound Synthesis with a new 4 track EP of the finest acidic electro on the second Ancient Technologies release.
Keith Farrugia aka Sound Synthesis’ home base of Malta may not be renowned as electro central, but the consistent stream of superlative releases he’s made there under the name Sound Synthesis have certainly put him on the map. In keeping with the floor-aimed functional nature of his tracks, this eight cut selection is a double 12” rather than an album and indeed, wherever you dip into it you’ll find iron-cast electro manoeuvres destined to keep feet moving. A valuable addition to any electro DJ’s armoury, this set has the right tune for just about every moment you care to mention.
