Alexander Dahlmann : Pendulum Waves [adpt012]

“A little more than one hour of music between narcotic tracks and dubwise sounds. This is the new adeptlabel release, number twelve.

The set begins with ‘FC Patch’. Alex says the track is named after the fact it was made with ‘one of my first Chord Patches on the modular system called Elektor Formant’. We think this song is made for walking . The heavy beat inside of the patch will keep your pace.

A little interlude called ‘In a State of Dreaming’ is the next one, followed by ‘Float’, a truly masterpiece. ‘It features Michi, a friend of mine playing the shruti box… While I was recording the main reggae style loop I already had the idea to make use of the Shruti for that song, so I introduced him to the instrument letting Michi be part of the session. Then we recorded it and he did a first take solo with the electric Shruti modulating the oscillators. I played the main chords with the mechanic Shurti’ says Dahlmann. ‘Float’ showcases Alex talents for creating a fascinating sonic texture. He makes it work wonderfully without anything more than a little instrument and a little melody.A tense amalgam between reverberation and echoes features ‘Time & Space’. It is a classic reggae rhythm with a heavy bass on top of all the ambient layers. An equal direction takes the next tune, ‘Log Fire’, establishing mercurial rhythms alongside a two-hit bass tone. The track is confusingly simple, maybe we can could define it as ‘loopy’ but there’s a lot happening under the surface. A lot of crackles, noises and weird things going on and on.

A great mixture of a mercurial rhythm, arctic ambients and liquid stabs is what you’ll find in ‘Scratch Surface’ which is the last regular track. The album alternates dubby songs with ambient pieces. The structure takes the listener to a quiet world. This nature of the album works to its advantage. At the end, there’s a remix of ‘FC Patch’ by Tarmac with a self-explanatory name: ‘Storm remix’. It’s a tribute to our environment. The graphic work is made by Roberto Villoria, founder of Creático Comunicación, who could be considered as one of the originators of Adeptlabel.”

Overcast Sound Feat. Jenny Mayhem : Settle [WR043]

Overcast Sound make an impressive debut at WR with Settle, a new single featuring the sultry vocal talents of Jenny Mayhem, backed by five deep remixes from Chord, Liquid Transmitter, OVC, Giriu Dvasios and Coppice Halifax. With an already superb back catalog of releases at labels around the world (Entropy, Silent Season, Basic_Sounds and ROHS!, just to name a few) it comes as no surprise at all that Overcast Sound still have new territories to explore. Settle is less of the deep techno OS is known for, and more smoky downtempo with a distinct trip-hop influence, casting a dark, slow shadow over the room, leaving only subdued hints of cool blue chords and electric green bass visible in the haze. The remixes rewrite, rebuild and reduce Settle in ways one might not expect. Chord configures it into a minimal house groove, the vocals a distant memory of the original. Giriu Dvasios treats it with punctuated dub stabs and a deep soundfield, offering a different viewing angle on Jenny Mayhem’s vocal nuances. Liquid Transmitter completely obliterates it into a wash of echoes and ebbing synth tides, with certain recognizable elements occasionally burbling through to the surface. OVC’s version bounces with the chilly urgency of a late night drive through an abandoned city, and Mayhem’s vocals provide a human counterpoint to the minimal escape. Coppice Halifax distills Settle into a Rhythm & Sound-influenced reggae dub smoke-out, dissecting the vocals and recycling them as melodic percussion over a low and slow black coffee meditation. Following this expansive single is a full-length album, All We Know Fades, which is sure to deliver even more tantalizing audio forms from the talented Overcast Sound.”
