For its 48th release, Da ! Heard It Records takes a leak into the unknown.
On the sleeve picture, conceptualized by Pia-Mélissa Laroche, Johann Mazé chooses the bag race to cross what seems to be a rural garden. In simple terms, he thus shows the listener the step to follow: one must jump with feet together in this eccentric universe with blurry borders, as if out of some dream, at the very place where a sleepy memory weaves strange links among things.
Here, enigmatic voices escape a house without walls into which one enters through the roof; improbable ritualistic rhythms form alternately the outlet of an imaginary tribe or a parade of a cannibalistic Yellow Jackets’ batucada; elsewhere, a wobbly walz lulls the ear with soft dissonances; farther still, a piano turns off in the night, a harmonica rises, a metronome sets the tone of a charade of diverse and catchy percussions…
Like an exquisite cadaver on a piece of paper that we unfold little by little, each new piece of the puzzle opens the door onto an unexpected territory. Passing from one thumbnail to the next though, the atmospheres answer each other with a clever sonorous montage, a patchwork of field recordings, of sonorous poetry… more

The evermoving premise of osorganistasdamorte&dofuturo puts the obvious frailties of the human psyche bare. In one of his most iconic dialogues, Rustin Cohle shoots: “I think human consciousness is a tragic misstep in human evolution”.
This is the strongest thesis of dialogue, but it is not the only one. The second affirms the unfortunate result of this same consciousness: the notion of an “I”. Finally, the solution: the denial of programming towards extinction. It is within this notion of “nightmare of consciousness” the three tracks of de·sí·di·a live in.
However, the solution pointed out rather goes through a state of emotional anesthesia, that is, to be located over or on the margins of the process which transforms sensation in emotion. The continuous drone contributes to the effect as does the ongoing confusion of delays, obscured voices and various environmental electronics notes. Rhythmic elements are identifiable but are always subdued to a wall of sound reminiscent of the best noise “tradition”.
This constant imbalance between an oppressive background and fleeting emersions of rhythm or melody are dialogues somewhere between death and future, breaking the barriers that define one or the other. It is in the domain of the strange and the shapeless that de·sí·di·a is installed as the last stronghold in the face of the inadequacy of consciousness to which Cohle alludes: sufficiently developed to install a reasonable certainty of doubt, but forcefully and permanently insufficient.

Visual echo of cosmic waves;
the mountains of creativity embracing time;
invite for a lustful dance.
Information Ghetto a.k.a. Clapan is no stranger to the net music scene of the last 20 years. Even more than on the net, he is known for his vinyl records, especially in the techhouse area. And with this sound he is also present on his Phonocake release, but we span a wider range on the album, from melancholic dream-ambient, to blade runner like scene music, IDM electronica, to the title track, which lets us take off in a highly energetic, high-flying, ecstatic way, until we end in 10-minute techno pieces that also contain electronica. Have fun on this journey through the musical world of Information Ghetto.
On vinyl later this year.

a soothing translucent ambience
<em>Pink Dream</em> is the third album released by Portland based ambient producer Elijah Knutsen under his new-age imprint <em>Memory Color</em>. The album is an exploration into the ambient side of cemented genres such as Shoegaze and Dream-Pop. Inspired by artists and groups like Harold Budd, My Bloody Valentine, and Cocteau Twins, Pink Dream consists of four translucent soundscapes, washed in reverb and tremolo-like modulation, and melded with subtle field recordings.

“Dijimos Apruebo, pero el Rechazo está en todo” (We said I approve, but the rejection is in everything), whose title is a re-reading of a theme by Nicolás Jaar, appeals to different historical moments in Chile, where the feeling remains, things seem to change, but in their essence they keep the same. Many times we can think that we are in limbo, in a context of hopelessness shaped like a rainbow similar to the 1989 elections between YES and NO. However, the social outbreak of 2019 exploded a strong idea: that a change can be generated from individuals, an ideal time to modify the foundations of any society.
I do not believe that we can be oblivious to social changes, be blind to the evils that we as societies possess and that we have strongly sought to change. Music is a social reflection and represents important milestones that happen around us and influence us in the form of sound waves, such as the drought in Chile and in various parts of the world, social conflicts on all continents, looted and exploited natural resources , along with inefficient transportation systems, all of them are social ideas that are present and influence me when composing my music.
This album has taken about 3 years to be created, where the main instruments used were the Elektron Octatrack Sampler, the Analog4 synthesizers, Roland MC-202 and Yamaha Portasound, plus some sounds sampled with Ableton Live. I hope that listening this album is a real journey, as for me it was to compose it every afternoon and night from my studio in Santiago de Chile.

This is chapter three of three of my definition of dubtechno. 14 new dubtechno tracks. This is a journey of calm and relaxed yet with the focus on the dancefloor. All of the tracks were created entirely with my modular system and everything is recorded live and not re-edited. This is about long fading echoes and endless loop-oriented dub sound.

Remix of the track “One Day The Lake Froze And Then It Never Healed” by Shadow Echo Canyon available here:
Following the steps of his debut album “These Elephants”, Mathieu St-Pierre re-engages with the concept of cyberspace as a means to explore his ambient and drone compositional approaches via the pool of data that is the internet.
As a result, his second album and Mahorka debut “Online Messages in Cardboard Boxes” was constructed solely by scavenging the net for sound textures and later altering and arranging them to create unique soundscapes. So as much as there was lots of time spent designing the compositions, an at least equal amount of time was involved in the research phase. “Online Messages in Cardboard Boxes” is a voyage beyond the keyboard, the monitor and the WWW, it takes us on a trip from the busy streets of a virtual metropolis to the melted ruins of a broken e-map. Each track was conceived as a gateway to the cloud of our mind.
