Matt Karmil - Will

Release Date: 27 April 2018

Label: Smalltown Supersound

"Karmil’s fourth album, Will, is released on the Norwegian Smalltown Supersound label – the home of Lindstrøm among others. Even more than before Matt has managed to combine his love of the graceful forward motion of minimal techno beats with the deeply granular textures and meditative chambers of reverb and delay. Mastered by the careful hand of Rashad Becker at the legendary Dubplates & Mastering plant, this driverless vehicle takes bumps and curves with ease, but passes through enough scuzzy neighbourhoods to make the journey more memorable. 

Before you get to the long ambient closing track, ‘Maffé’, Will contains its share of muted bangers like ‘Morals’ and ‘Can’t Find It (The House Sound)’. While these would vibrate well on the dancefloor, the experience for Matt is primarily a private domestic one. ‘I like to try to create a room to visit, and while it's nice to have details and look out the window occasionally, the fundamental is the room/environment itself – my personal enjoyment of music away from the club is often centred around long form and ambient works.’"

Paide & Fischerle presents Doubts 2

Release Date: 4 April 2018

Label: Pawlacz Perski

"Doubts is a compilation, whose guiding principle is searching for new solutions for a selected musical genre. To this end, artists and music producers unrelated to the particular music genre are invited to participate in the compilation. In the first part of Doubts, the main topic was dub techno. The second edition of Doubts is an attempt to reinterpret Chicago Footwork and the pace of 160 BPM. As a result, works were created loosely referring to selected formal aspects of footwork (Ceglarek & Dybała, Maciej Maciągowski, Hubert Zemler), or radically atomizing its structure (Freeze, Genetics & Windsurfing, Micromelancolié), and in some cases works arisen that have chosen the 160 BPM rate as the starting point while placing it in dub (Sarmacja), techno (Mech) and psychedelia (Mchy i Porosty). Doubts vol. 2 is an attempt to answer the question whether since 2012 and the first Polish footwork compilation Ghosts Traxx (which was co-created by one of Doubts curators - Paweł Paide Dunajko), there is a chance to repeat this creative situation, while refreshing and exploring the framework of the genre anew."

Micromelancolié - Niwa

Release Date: 5 April 2018

Label: Nona

"Micromelancolié is Robert Skrzyński, a Polish ambient/experimental musician whose discography counts a few dozens of releases on various respectable independet labels. As well as many other of Micromelancolié releases, Niwa is being released as a tape, and according to Skrzyński's words it's been planned as one of the parts of his record series referring to “changes in human understanding of reality, concept of true, and information overload caused by internet as a basic part of everyday life.” 

Skrzyński here once again continues in his proved practice of sound collaging, creating an adventurous ambient world made from pieces of manipulated found sounds, field recordings, static glitch, somewhat disquieting spatious pads and sound objects. As a result he brings us an album that is fragile yet exciting, adventurous and fairly daydream inducing."

Nami - Shimmer / Moondance

Release Date: 2 March 2018

Label: Cascade Records

Discogs

"Nami is an Italian duo based in Bologna, formed by Riccardo Pestrin and Federico Tarozzi, two friends who met each other playing the violin in the same orchestra. Sharing the same passion for music, they gave birth to Nami a few months ago, trying to explore the more modern landscapes of electronic music. Their style is a mixing of hip hop, jazz and synthetic sounds. Riccardo and Federico have set themselves the goal of creating something unique, new and above 

all innovative. “The idea of the EP came out during summer. Then, the first experimentations with sounds made the project even more concrete, so that a few months later, the songs were ready. We wanted to reflect the meaning of the word "nami", or "wave" in Japanese. The songs alternate, in fact, moments of tranquility to more dynamic ones, conveying jazz chord progressions and beat hip hop in an electronic style.” "

Dead Yucca - Personal

Release Date: 22 January 2018

Label: IMMINENT

"It is difficult to put into words, how tactile and tangible is this debut release of Dead Yucca on our IMMINENT label (which is also the first album to be release in the new year of 2018). Giving this album a listen evokes a similar feeling as touching a skyscraper column towering above. The music tracks on this album create multiple constructs made of black marble with peculiar grey and white incrustations. That’s why Personal is generally a stark and gloomy release, which nevertheless also includes episodes of a decrease in the atmosphere of emotional overcast. 

Judging by the previous description, it is easy to conclude that Personal is completely monolithic and inflexible, not allowing any fluctuations. You would be wrong with that. Just like any piece of architecture, this album by Dead Yucca has many layers and a unique structure. Multifaceted UK-Bass/Future Garage/2-Step influences collide with an ornament of ambient, techno and sometimes even world music and industrial bits and pieces. 

The album starts with a track called Broken, which is surprisingly filled with teenage nostalgia, a sadness of unrequited love and a sense of transience of being young. The next track is called Fault, which increases the general pace of the release and feels like a city in fast forward footage. The following one titled Never Ends introduces a Mediterranean motif, creating a digital dust storm. Only One Motion entices with an atmosphere of the great unknown. The tracks called Personal and Stop Me re-introduce the fast-paced dynamics of the first tracks and gradually increase the tension. The ending tracks Wailing and We Are Alone, with a sense of running through distorted corridors evoked by the former and the classic atmospheric groove of the latter, prime the album to the conclusion, reminding of a sunrise at the highest levels of a skyscraper. 

Because of those tracks, Personal is a skillfully structured, authentic and unique release that is perfect for the updated concept of our IMMINENT project."

1. Broken (ft. Heartless) 04:03

2. Fault 04:08

3. Never Ends 03:46

Jade Parker - Lead Me Astray

Release Date: 16 February 2018

Label: Pegdoll Records

Discogs

"Pegdoll welcomes Jade Parker with her debut EP Lead Me Astray. Already known to some through her work with Himalia, we are pleased to announce that Jade is now releasing music in her own right. 

An EP borne through experience of a transient lifestyle whilst travelling between Manchester and Leeds, alongside the challenge of completing a degree and carving a career in live events became the motivation for Lead Me Astray. Having to focus and embrace creativity whilst utilising the distractions of life became the catalyst that underpinned this three track release. 

Lead Me Astray highlights Jade's unique vocal ability, but also her carefully crafted production skills. Developing her own style with inspiration from Jessy Lanza and Burial, Jade Parker has an uncanny ability to use space, measured tempo and flawless sonics. The lead track Closer corroborates the experience of being lost whilst trying to find existence in the world. 

Along with Maschine, granular synthesis, soundscape effects in conjunction with her own vocal samples, Jade ensured a maintained focus whilst recording in her bedroom studio and reflecting upon the future when travelling between cities."

Mech - Sub​-​Clouds

Release Date: 30 January 2018

Label: Pawlacz Perski

""Sub-Clouds" by Mateusz Wysocki and Michał Wolski is a record of a visit to the sound laboratory. The encounter of experienced musicians always has an experimental dimension, but in the case of the Mech duo, the laboratory metaphor also perfectly suits the description of the musical structure. A sterile, machine pulse, which is a precise mathematical grid for measuring the slow-flowing, fractal, synthesizer clouds can be easly detected here. Thanks to the rhythmically working machinery we can observe the matter that slowly swells, mutates, grows in all directions, and eventually disintegrates."

Tracklist:

1. Dimensional Climb 06:56

2. Spectral Vortex 08:00

3. Giants 06:24

4. Oort 02:40

5. Sub-Clouds 05:36
