Various Artists : Isquion EP [CICUTA 015]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on December 19, 2012

“Welcome to the release number 15 of Cicuta Netlabel. Hit by the crisis, we leave 2012, suffocated in the challenge every day, but also with the hope that 2013 will bring some light to the situation that we are enduring. Techno is just techno, and can’t feed us, doesn’t pay bills, can’t afford many of the dramatic situations that people live. But it is also true that music changes the mood, and a positive attitude creates positive actions around us. That’s why we like to think that, in our own way, we are helping to improve the system…

Open the EP with Ad.Lib, Swiss artist who may not be well known to the general public, but if we tell you that has played at Tresor and his music is in the suitcase of people like Luke Slater and Speedy J, few would have doubt about his quality…

We continue with the French group Minimum Syndicat, who is having a major impact in recent months. With a powerful
techno and 90’s samples, reach Cicuta to give us a sample of why they succeed.

Another artist who visit us for the first time is Komabase, German artist who after going through labels like Naked Lunch, Labrynth or UTCH and having the support of Dave Clarke himself, brings a track quite introspective, full of shapes able to hypnotize the listener.

Then we travel to Lithuania for the first time, to present to Gediminas Rodmokas, better known as Rusk, artist with a long history (since 1998) under his belt and reaching Cicuta after going through some of the most active labels today (We Call It Hard, Dispired Industrials, …)

We follow with Mslwte, pseudonym under which we can find the Subsekt’s blog boss, one of the busiest and most respected by most artists of the current techno scene.

Finally, from Drugstore put the icing on the cake with our usual track. We don’t want to miss this opportunity to wish you a merry Christmas and wish you a happy new year, full of happiness and in the company of your own.”

Perpetual Motion Food : Kronika Pogańska [ppt#16]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on December 17, 2012

“As promised, today we provide to our listeners prominent material of Perpetual Motion Food collective, which – as you probably all know – began a few nice years ago to dismay all listeners raised on tonal music and conservative German folk songs. The idea behind the whole project was free improvisation and experiment, which usually evolved into inscrutable musical forms that loosely correspond to tradition.
Kronika Pogańska (Chronicle of Pagan) is a piece of work of Lech Nienartowicz and Rafał Skonieczny. Lech is responsible for the sound – vast instrumentation, samples, effects and loops, and Rafał for the spoken word and assembly. The result of this collaboration is a mysterious and mesmerizing music… Listen to and reminisce!”

Pobedia & Nebyla : Good Morning EP [DDR006]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on December 15, 2012

“Both these guys have been very busy this year releasing a few ep’s and albums between them. 2 very exciting artist with a wide range of styles to express. I was very excited and honoured for them to be able to squeeze in a release on Drift Deeper before the year ends.

Nebyla takes us back to basics with a stripped-down funky deep house track. A wonderful melody, beat and vocal hook come together beautifully to create ‘Mountain Yard’.

Pobedia goes deep on us once again with a mesmerizing, deep ambient-drone filled techno track. I really get the feeling of being up at ‘6am’ making my way to work, walking through the city watching as the first beams of sunlight penetrate through the cold concrete structures. Adding a warm glow to the city as it starts to come alive with people going about their day and traffic running through the veins of the city.”

With a selection of tracks produced in the last decade, this album includes some of his secret classics like Approaching Sector X, Dotchidabe, Sabrina and Freescape, that are both perfect for the dancefloor and personal listening.
Welcome To Büromaschinen is the ideal soundtrack for the best Sci-Fi film that everybody loves but never existed.”

Junglemire : Some Kind Of Acid [GCAF044]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on December 9, 2012

“As we have already well-predicted on his debut release, Junglemire’s EP now goes in a new direction. Music inspired by his home sessions; prove to be an excellent introduction to his music. Playing with new equipment imaginatively, spinning knobs in all directions; he leads us to new unexplored areas of his musical expression.

Do not be fooled by the title Some Kind Of Acid because it has so many influences and layers from which you can observe it. Infectious dance tunes exquisitely performed where some of you will surely find links in music from 80s and early 90s.

Observing his musical progress so far inevitably arises one conclusion, his sound is now much richer with concrete fashioned ideas. Decided to record live sessions with perhaps little or no correction; give his music more prolific spontaneous sound, while remaining true to his musical style. Can we expect live gigs in the near future, because that lad certainly deserves it!?”

Fischerle : Delayed Childhood [bsc_028]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on December 7, 2012

“Polish sound artist Fischerle (aka Mateusz Wysocki) primarily known for his dub techno explorations demonstrates his mastery as a producer, by delivering two exquisite but completely different genres incorporating the same warm evolving beauty. Fischerle has appeared on such labels as, Qunabu, Instabil, Minicromusic, Ghostmental, Entropy and runs his own successful netlabel Pawlacz Perski Tapes.

His basic_sounds release Delayed Childhood opens with ‘Index of Clouds’ a drifting dub track with warm soothing waves layered with clean clicks and crackles for a deep tranquil organic dub journey. ‘The Mote Hunted Down In Telegraph Hill, San Francisco’ is a beautiful eighteen-minute gentle ambient soundscape with perfected looping washes and delicate sparse percussion drones for a really lovely calming peaceful meditation. Overall a sublime and gorgeous release.”
