Kodek – Future Wave EP [Dirty Deal Audio]

“At last we are putting out music by probably the most noticeable persona amongst Latvian electronic producers and performers — the Gameboy™ genius from Madona — Kodek. He is known for his passion for various music making hardware and his computer free production approach, yet anything Kodek-related is unimaginable without the trashy neon colored MS Paint-ish visual accompaniment which comes along with every message and video he posts. While performing live on stage his outfit and attitude completely embodies the wonky spelling of his facebook posts and aesthetics of the kodekvevo4444 tumblr. Whether he’s wearing a 90’s vintage tracksuit or a superhero suite made out of cardboard and foil, it’s always as Kodek as it gets.

Previously he has toyed around with numerous dance music styles and has adopted multiple aliases, such as for ghettotech productions and $KODEK VAN BUUREN for overall avant-garde. Now his experiments have reached the realms of electro, so on Future Wave you can expect vocoded vocals, spacey bleeps and fat beats. Almost all sounds you’ll hear throughout the EP are synthesized by Kodek himself, and ‘Future Now’ is made using only one synth — the Korg Monotribe.”

Various Artists : Aliases Vol​.​1 – 1 Particle, 2 Places

1 particle, 2 places. 1 musician, 2 spaces.

There is experiments of quantum physics that place an alone sub-atomic particle in 2 different places simultaneously. Probably our brain is still not prepared to really understand this. Nevertheless this compilation use the experiment as base of its own existence.
Most of the producers, when they work on their studios to build songs, end up by experimenting with genres or sub-genres that do not ‘fit’ with themselves or are not their official tendency.
Here we compile these works, this places where the mind of the musician does not have social or artistic limitations due to the fact that he/she has a strict public or a project that limits him/her.

Under this premise, the freedom and the experimentation, we have caught few Electro composers so they could give us their ‘bastards’ creations.

But, the experiment doesn’t end here … Any of them are allowed to use their known names or their artistic known projects. All of them had to create an alias, a never used name and they have the commitment to keep it private.

Even between their release mates, the identities aren’t known.”

Koré : Transacids [BC23]

Koré debuts at Recycled Plastics with a fantastic EP of rubbery organic electronics, perfect for putting the ‘plastic’ in RP! Transacids subjects drum machines and synths to a real Acid Summer workout, complete with crisp 808s punching holes in your ears and weirdo acid lines that float and settle over bass notes that have clearly been staying up too late. Koré has a very unique sound that would appeal to all of you braindance maniacs out there, so take it from us – this is some of the freshest acid fried electro zoning we’ve heard in a long time. Additionally, the good news is that Koré will be following Transacids with a full-length cassette at the loveable WR label in Portland soon. Keep your eyes and ears peeled!”
