Bit-Tuner : The Japan Syndrome [hub02]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on November 2, 2013

“Bit-Tuner‘s The Japan Syndrome is a free download for the first two weeks. Still, if you want to donate, head over to the Hula Honeys Bandcamp page. Recorded at Zurich’s Helsinki Klub, it’s a fragmentary snap shot, a rampant audio(visual) trip through Japan’s largest cities, that Bit-Tuner visited in spring 2013. The swiss producer captures these cities via field recordings to then transform the found sound into his characteristic dark beats and minimalistic sounds.”

Mizgir : Mizgir EP [WOND007]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on October 30, 2013

“Mizgir invites you to his secret garden. The music on this EP is universal, intriguing, and romantic. Following its own rules, the approach of Mizgir is soulful, organic, integrating instrumental parts played live as well as improvisational elements. Classical, ethnic, jazz, electronics and silence are the main influences in this open concept.
The track ‘Starostin’ features Sergei Starostin playing rozhok from ‘Shymel Kamish’ and the track ‘Esenin’ features vocal cuts from Sergei Starostin song ‘Devki’.
Arctic Sunrise Intro and Arctic Sunrise are tribute tracks for the crew of Arctic Sunrise, imprisoned in Murmansk – Russia.”

“The Colombian downtempo duo returns to our catalog along with a new partner in sound, Erimus. The three of them have crafted an exquisite exercise in sonic storytelling, rich with texture and crackly ambience. Life moves in time stretched slow motion while these surreal extended pieces melt away your perceptions of reality.”

We Are All Alone : Solace [SCL085]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on October 9, 2013

“Exfoliated Rust was just a warm-up, it’s time for a mini-album. The songs have become more noisy with dirty drum sounds. To highlight any track is very difficult. All in all, a good work.”

Bite : Room [bsc_038]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on October 7, 2013

“Multi-talented Spanish producer and videographer José Barrera (aka Bite) delivers Room, his second outstanding EP for basic_sounds. Known for his dark immersive ambient drones Bite delivers a passionate balance between eerie and warmth.

The first titled track, ‘Room 01’ is a dark, contemplative soundscape with digital organic quirks combined with buzzing, alluding to bleak feelings regarding the state of the world. This concept is reinforced in Barrera’s video. ‘Room 02’ is another eerie track with slow static pulses and alien-like rattlesnake sounds, ultimately creating a deep immersive environment. ‘Room 03’ is a calming warm ambient track with delicate floating synth strings combined with field recordings of rain and birds. ‘Room 04’ is an other-worldly dub track with pulsating pads and distant reverberations. Closing this release, ‘Room 05’ is a clinical, Raster Noton style track with reductive clicks and whirrs juxtaposed with warm pulsing pads. Overall, another stunning polished release from Bite.”
