A retrospective of Darkstar83’s work.
ET132 An Etched Traumas release
December 2022
The movement of an amoeba may seem mere randomness – Brownian motion through an indifferent space. We believe our own machinations to be much cleverer, an improvement over the past. Are we in fact so sophisticated? Consider your own perturbations, while listening to this deliberation of a clever amoeba.
Featuring a jazz trio of piano, drum kit, and upright bass.
Stripped back techno tooling meets groovy 90s influences , the 88756 project returns with the third edition of TOOLKIT. Rebelling once again, these outputs are torn between what was instructed, and what was explicated.
Innate Interpolation stays true to the name; it is in essence, a human litmus test. Since we tend to project own sense of humanity when faced with ambiguity, we each have different interpretations of the vocal sample at the centre of this piece. On the other hand, In My Mind is a clear dance-floor weapon, laden with wonky percussion and a healthy dosing of raw samples. Both pieces are provided with two versions: a functional, DJ friendly edit and a groovy take on current contemporary trends.
Closing out the release is Live From 95, a symphony of hardware style sampling and a fast paced rolling groove. We note that earlier outputs of this track were sonically anomalous, and have been pulled back to mortal levels.
As always, these mechanical outputs are free to download from Bandcamp. Your support keeps us safe, and additional commentary is always appreciated.

TabiiTaabii – Small Steps (Insectorama144)
It is sometimes
as if all threads were cut off…
like everything around you
far and empty
a dead space
and you yourself a strange dream…
…as if the sun would never come again,
as if a song never sounded through,
like everything is slowly coming to an end…
and suddenly it flickers through the clouds
and suddenly a sound hits the ear

Adrià Duch – Unknown Protocol (Insectorama143)
Such a timeless and dirty, beautiful analog lofi dubtechno sound that Adria Duch presents to us with its new 5 tracks is definitely not from this world. So we embark with him on this journey of his very own definition of never-ending chords and echoes that completely cancel space and time and you have the feeling of having found long-lost sounds on an old dusty transistor radio.
Tracklist:
1.No One
2.Not Against
3.Unknown Protocol
4.Why Me
5.Without You

DubDude – Conformacion Del Ser (Insectorama142)
Here, space and time are offset to such an extent that there is a fusion of dense echoes and chords. The harmony and balance between relaxation and the rhythm accompany us through the night so that we forget everything around us. Dub melodies snatch you from reality and find their way through the loop of space.
Tracklist:
1.Cuando Y Como
2.El Por Que Del Como
3.La Consecuencia De La Verdad
4.Ilanto
5.Conformacion Del Ser

A friend of the Gentle Giant, the ponderosa is a long-lived tree. If conditions are favorable, it can persist for more than 500 years – giving it time to live up to its name, and ponder.
This freely improvised track features piano.

Everybody knows about the climate disaster consequences, pushing so many people to the exile, instead to try to fix the pollution problem the guilty countries are strengthening their borders. The world of tomorrow seems not different of yesterday world except this awful smile about the climate genocide.

Dedicated to all the migrants who died because of borders.

Ready… start… go! But – make sure you stay on track. Going goes faster when you’re working with physics, not against it.
