Coppice Halifax : Cedar Mast [srfree001]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on

“The first in a new series of free net releases comes from dub techno legend Coppice Halifax.

‘Cedar Mast is the result of an experiment undertaken during the Summer of 2012 at Botany Bay. Having a longtime fondness for video games, and by association, video gaming consoles of years past, it occurred to me how much I always loved the bootup/menu sounds made by the Sega Dreamcast system. My wife bought me a brand new system for my 29th birthday, since our old unit had long since died, and I took the opportunity to sample all of the native sounds the machine makes when there isn’t a boot disc inside. As many of you familiar with the Dreamcast will know, these sounds consist of wet, chorus-laden bleeps and chord stabs, which seemed like the perfect ingredients for making techno tracks…and so Cedar Mast was conceived and subsequently created. Everything you hear in these five tracks that is not a drum machine (which is to say, all of the melodies, pads, basslines and even bits of percussion) has been created using only those original sounds from the Sega Dreamcast.'”

Bite : Diffuse [bsc_026]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on

“Spanish producer and videographer José Barrera releases his magnificent EP Diffuse on basic_sounds. Known for being an industrial engineer by trade, Barrera’s passion lies in creating dark ambient drones with deep immersive basslines. He originally started composing in 2004 after purchasing his first synthesizer and later became invested with the Monome community, contributing to several compilations organized by other Monome users. He also has appeared on Mischieveous Musique, Drift Deeper and supplied audio accompaniment to a contemporary dance performance. His self-released albums are available for download from his bandcamp page.


Diffuse opens with ‘Fire Oscillator’, a densely thick immersive work with contemplative floating strings, crackling gurgles and deep organic bass similar to an internal rhythmic heart pulse. ‘Double Exposure’, is a lush, drifting dub techno gem that gains more depth through its pulsing signals and airy layered chords. ‘Mirror Reflections’ is a dark eerie pulsing track with shuffling sweeps, alluding to feelings of uncertainty. ‘Oblivion’ closes the EP with a twelve-minute long format composition that delicately transforms and glides the listener through a meditative foreign space. Absolutely beautiful and ideal for lovers of Wolfgang Voights’ Gas moniker and all things deep.”

Pedro Helvete : EP 1 – 3 [bump178]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on

“The first two tracks (Insane Aerobics and Talán) were born from some eclectic electric style, influeced by dubstep and triphop. The next two (Slowed Reflexes and Chestnut Trees) go along the ambient and chill out line. The final three (Ilona Staller, The Space Queen and Barbarella) retrospect the ’70s italian space techno era. The 3 EPs are mixed from various styles but make a whole piece together. These tracks were mixed between April and June of 2012. In three tracks, female vocal themes were created and featured by MoSu. Cover by Kitti Godó.”

Soundmanipulator – Fin d mundo EP [SLXR017]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on

“With Fin d Mundo EP, Soundmanipulator drives us through a deep trip in that the time is expanded and space is collapsed. A claustrophobic dimension where humans find the true soul of sound. The circle of time is closed, the beginning becomes the end and the end becomes the begin. The rebirth from a new primordial form is ready for the next evolution.”
