For its 41st release, Da ! Heard It Records is receiving a weak signal…
Everything starts with a faraway sound, a buzzing growing more and more present. A light pulse then discretely joins in with a wave that intensifies little by little. The radars turn to find where it’s originating from. The matter gets bigger and announced a compact sonorous mass. A slow, crushed rhythm settles in and supports this mysterious form. In stationary flight for a part of the album, the strange apparatus gives sort of the impression that it is scanning a presence, passing through the listener, frozen in this obscure sci-fi décor. Coded messages, percussive morse code, LFOs of all kinds, and sonic twitches still attempt a first contact, as if it were trying to coldly grasp the substance of our world. From one speaker to the next, the chirpings interact while in the background, a purring wanders now and then in the landscape, fragmented by the flow’s power.
So listen to this tape whose handmade wrapping with technological titles invites us to take it all with a sense of humor. Onboard the engine where rhythm boxes and machines of all sorts sweep through space without ever landing, a facetious parisian duo turns the knobs of a complex dashboard…
Right now, you’re wandering distractly through this album, thinking that perhaps you haven’t understood a word of this text. You’re just passing (through) À Travers.
Poborsk makes his Crazy-Language debut with a very special sensory release for us the listeners and to the producer himself. These seven crisp constantly shifting artefacts are the result of a multitude of live tracks, reworked here for cozy home listening, from when the producer opened a gig in Lyon for the legendary Autechre. The giddy excitement is palpable on the craftsmanship present on each song, not only recollecting the Manchester based duo’s latest atonal journeys but with the rhythmic balance and jiggly synth work, trademark of Poborsk’s varied discography. It’s hard not to get up and start contorting your body onto odd angles with bangers such as Docteur Flanger or Collapse.
As is tradition with Crazy-Language’s latest outputs, this release contains 3 very methodical video pieces that seem to clash perfectly with the pristine nature of the audio journey. These glitched, heavily erratic pieces are the contrast needed to bring everything full circle. Or in Poborsk’s case full Euclidean. (FG)

elAstrum could be called the ‘new Kenny Beltrey’ with his upbeat tracks, full of disco vibes and lighthearted melodies.
This eleven track album brings summer to a high powered and enjoyable close, following elAstrum on his typical summer break.

j/j is a sound work developed by Sydney based artist Jeremy Hegge from a series of materials collected in different natural areas of Queensland, Australia. All tracks – based on field recordings – are site-specific works related with the concept of meditative listening within ecologically complex places, where it’s possible to hear fleeting traces of human activity in a fully nature-dominated soundscape.
The author lead the audience to immerse in a really rich sonic universe through eleven high quality recording pieces, in which the reconstruction of the space and the atmosphere of the sites is totally impressive. All the elements in this caleidoscopic and magnetic sonic milieu are vivid, intense and demanding, challenging the listeners to reflect upon the way we all relate with natural environments through our senses, in an time when the relationship with landscape, soundscape and territory is deeply and dramatically changing.
Notes from the artist after 2 months apart my partner and i met in queensland and travelled into the outback.

Aũkštai II (“Floors II”) is the second release from the series by Nortas. This record continues to explore the space between thoughts. However, instead of creating sense of isolation in relation with the first record, constant flow of thoughts in “Aukštai II” induces the development of self-awareness shield.
This album has a sense of ashes, coming from the burning memories, which are transformed into shape of soundwaves. The cold vibrations resemble the observation of lonely spaces created around people, a discoloured view of wallmarks around the mist-filled mind corridors. Synthesized echoes reflect the fragile state of collecting the sharp-edged pieces of what once was a functioning soul. The void of waves locks into tunnel of nostalgia, foreshadowing the time once spent but cannot be returned.
