Blit – Fauna ficcion
[M023]
Blit
“Fauna ficcion”
Blit – Fauna ficción
Blit is a well-known talented chilean producer who adds to the catalog of Modismo with a new proof of his versatility.
‘Repite’, track that opens the album, manages to outline the ground in which ‘Fauna Ficción’ moves, as a smoke screen we pass through to go all over a work where experimentation in electronic music is addressed with a ludic spirit.
This way, he is able to approach these compositions to a more restless instrumental pop, crossing over intricate keyboard sounds at dark low frecuencies that works as counterpoint. It is a careful production of the rhythmic patterns that sounds updated with contemporary urban rhythms and with a strong accent on hip-hop derivatives.
The centerpiece of this Blit’s new delivery are the three parts of ‘Exilio’, being the second one the moment in greater tune with the dancefloor. The album closes with ‘Morel’, a track that seems to recall Richard D. James’ legacy, though it ends up shaking the nostalgic off with a powerful rhythmic dose.
In less than 20 minutes ‘Fauna Ficción’ succeedes in introducing us into a world that catches us, captivating our ear with fresh sounds and keeping our feet in constant motion thanks to its playful beats. Seven tracks that only confirm Blit’s huge potential and the good times for the electronic music production that prevails in today’s Chile.

Timezone LaFontaine – Graveyard Shift / Papa Made Out Like a Bandit

Timezone LaFontaine
“Graveyard Shift / Papa Made Out Like a Bandit”
f you’ve been keeping up with blocSonic over the past year or so, you might have seen the name Timezone LaFontaine pop up as a guest and/or remixer. You might have even wondered if he’s going to drop his own releases. Well, let me set your mind at ease and present to you Graveyard Shift / Papa Made Out Like a Bandit, the first single from his forthcoming album Soul Night (set to drop April 18th).
TZLF’s unique hip-hop sound is at once modern and a throwback. If you remember the time when rappers were known as EMCEEs and hip-hop was a creative and varied genre, you’re going to dig this. If all you know is what’s now known as “hip-hop” or “trap”, then it’s time to broaden your horizons.
Huge shout out and thanks goes out to Timezone LaFontaine for the dope new music! Welcome to the blocSonic fam!
Of course, thanks once again to you for downloading & listening. We always strive to deliver the music you’ll love. Please spread the word about blocSonic, if you enjoy what we do. Remember… everything we release is cool to share! Always keep the music moving… share it… blog it… podcast it! If you’re in radio… support independent music and broadcast it!

Deltahedron
“Machine Learning”
We all hear that machines and AI are going to surpass us soon, but for the time being they have a lot to learn from the meatbags still in control.
This bass heavy, experimental EP of techno-ish trap-like beats presents the process of machine learning in one particular specimen.

Winterberg – le sacre du noir
[phokes123]
Winterberg
“le sacre du noir”
In perfect attention the crystallized minescrafter digs through the depths of the heights. In hand luggage the best machines, he travels across noone’s heaven. Three rooms.
With Winterberg’s second album, we go a bit deeper into his work. After his self chosen “lock in with grand” some songs reached new levels. Grasping the moment, comfort of maturity. Between saturated thickness and clear raising there are also occasionally surprises.
Over three hours of music has been found for this album, well portioned in three parts. Five years have passed since the previous album. Now he’s back for more. We wish you a great listening pleasure with these selected works of improvisation, of live play. Spirit, soul and earth invite you to dive into.

Bralitz – Bralitz
[BSMX0155]
Bralitz
“Bralitz”
“Bralitz is a one-man-band who plays guitar, drums and percussion, piano, bass, harmonica, ukulele and sings songs he writes himself. He randomly chose the name Bralitz (a small town in North Eastern Germany) for no real reason other than its simplicity and the fact he often goes there to participate in a music festival organized by his friends. Bralitz draws inspiration from classics of various genres, i.e. rock ’n roll, folk, bossa nova, chanson, and manouche, to name a few. Using multi-track recording, he performs all the parts on most of his songs and sings most of the harmonies to his own lead vocals.”
So that’s the official bio. I’ll only add that this little collection of songs packs a melodic punch with thematic ties running throughout. You’ll likely find yourself putting the album on repeat for a while.
A very special thanks to Bralitz for the terrific EP! Welcome to the blocSonic fam!

ps
“Volatile”
This album is about volatile things and moments. Friendships, relationships, life, random situations. It’s about the importance of finding yourself, knowing yourself, not losing track of what’s important. Getting used to navigate through the acid burns that life flings at you, but also learning to understand others, learning to understand yourself. This album is meant to be listened at home alone at 3 AM. Considering other people don’t appreciate loud sounds at 3 AM you might want to use headphones.
Tracks 1 and 2 feature instrument samples by Amir Baghiri and samples from the movie Still Alice.
Track 3 features samples from the series Making a Murderer and the movies Reservoir Dogs, Drunken Master and Zero Theorem.
Tracks 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 feature spoken word passages read from the book The Vegetarian.
Track 9 features samples from the movie Zero Theorem, Curtis Hoard Videogames, The Straight Road and from a random 80s educational video on Missile Guidance Systems.
Tracks 10 and 11 features samples from the series Fargo.
Track 11 features sample from the movie Deadpool.
All other sounds in this album were conjured by Filipe ‘ps’ Cruz using Jeskola Buzz. Mixed down using Reaper.

Baradit – Electro Lines
[pn118]
Baradit
“Electro Lines”
“Of a tranquil but sure evolution, and generous in melodies that awaken the ear insistently, and to the precise extent, is this new album by the Valparaiso based electronic musician Baradit, a key figure in the scene constructed with machines and danceable beats in studios and clubs in the Fifth Region, being one of the founders of the excellent netlabel Epa Sonidos in 2001.
In this work, the author passes comfortably through many of the influences that have permeated his creation over time, always with interesting results, from musical movements that have remained in perpetuity due to their importance and teachings, such as the EBM, or the ever present and transformable synth pop, techno and other aspects that coexist within the most welcoming and evocative universe of electronics.
Scenes well built and cemented in electro beats, analog basses of good company, notes suggestive of contemplative feelings, are the basis of several of his compositions, like ‘Pruss Pruss’, ‘Guitar Day’, ‘Ocean’, ‘I Need’, to name a few. A good invitation to explore the electro pop happening outside the limits of our self-absorbed and centralized reality. Certainly, a pleasant experience.”

Satanoid – Astronomical Disease
[NTT085]
Satanoid
“Astronomical Disease”
Satanoid – an audio project by Finland’s Sami Kekkonen – investigates the borders of what could be considered extreme sonic decimation.
Listening to his album “Astronomical Disease”, you will find out that, despite the seemingly persistent illusion that today’s abundance of electronic music continually collides into a mode of endless reiteration, there is still room for refreshing experiments.
This magnificent slaughterhouse of relentless modular deconstruction easily obliterates any previously established notion of high BPM’s and intelligent (de-)composition, while viscerally exploiting those quasi-aleatoric holes few humans are likely to have ever conceived of.
A masterful work that deserves your undivided attention, if like me, you crave for things that are entirely authentic.
