“The Expanse”

4T Thieves – The Expanse
As part of the Christmas release lineup, I’m extremely proud to introduce my first ever album called ‘The Expanse’. Completed during the last half of this year, there are 12 tracks of completely new material never before released. A few tracks having been lying around my hard disk for a while which I tidied up and included, but the majority were written for this album.

There are a few different styles – drum and bass with an IDM ambient edge, my tribute to the Commodore 64 and a couple of classic 90s techno sounding tracks (similar to orbital or underworld).

“Keep You Safe / Wholesale Slaughter”

Fire To The Stars – Keep You Safe / Wholesale Slaughter
“Na realidade Shoegaze não quer dizer nada, sendo apenas mais um facilitismo ao abrigo do qual se podem incluir várias espécies de grupos diferentes, que em comum tenham uma parede de distorção convidativa a momentos de introspecção.
Durante um período dos anos 80 e 90, assistiu-se a uma proliferação de bandas de Indie-Rock onde também poderiam caber milhares de coisas diferentes, mas que sem dúvida tiveram em comum não só o momento específico mas também a especificidade associada ao seu som. Essa marca é transportada por vários grupos até aos dias de hoje, e ainda bem porque há legados que devem prevalecer. Várias dessas bandas tinham sem dúvida afinidades quer com o Shoegaze, quer com o seu parente próximo, a Dream Pop. Mas o lugar dos rótulos é nas embalagens e o que interessa realmente é o que a música transmite, independentemente do que se escreve ou diz sobre ela.
Uma banda chamada Fire To The Stars merece pelo menos uma audição atenta, quanto mais não seja para confirmar se a música cumpre aquilo que o nome parece prometer. As estrelas quando ardem tendem a fazê-lo de forma lenta, ainda que poderosa, numa espécie de momento de agressividade melancólica.
Este single é composto por dois temas, e se por um lado “Keep You Safe” ergue uma barreira uterina de noise entre o ouvinte e o mundo, já “Wholesale Slaughter” proporciona uma contemplação nostálgica desse mesmo mundo, do qual nos encontramos alheados via experiência musical. Simultaneamente belo e fantasmagórico, como a pop deveria ser, esta edição não destoaria ao lado duns Swervedriver ou duns Ride.
Façam favor de olhar para os sapatos e sonhar um pouco.”

“We Are D.L.A.M.I.A.D. And You Caren’t”

Don’t Look At Me I Am Deformed – We Are D.L.A.M.I.A.D. And You Caren’t
I came out of my house one morning to find this monstrosity on my doorstep without any note or explanation. A single set of footprints in the mud ran from my stairs for a few meters only to abruptly end in the middle of nowhere. “Personal Space!” I screamed to no one in particular, shaking my fist. Then I proceded to listen.

I guess this is supposed to be mainly electronic dance music but to actually call it that would be an insult to dance music. Although rightfully bouncy and even catchy from time to time, this seems more like a twelve year old with severe ADHD heard three dance tunes from the nineties and proceded to replicate it using sampling techniques from the eighties. Sometimes it goes very well, sometimes it’s hard to figure out what the author intended. It is sloppy, amateurish, crude and possibly illegal. It is right up our alley. Enjoy.

Nick Rivera – Zamalek
Zamalek is an island in Cairo in the middle of the Nile.
But also a neighbourhood, something in between.
This album is about the sky you can’t see from this island and the things that swim in it.
Zamalek is a warm cuddle from your trusted friend, a fist in the nape from your best enemy.

Carlos Suárez

“Fin Da Terra”

Carlos Suárez – Fin Da Terra
Carlos Suárez is, now a days, one of the most interesting musicians exploring the compositional possibilities of field recordings in Spain. His work has been widely regarded as a revelation on how to present processed field recordings as elements of a very bast and complex symphonic music system or language.

Moreover, Suárez has been able to develop something quite bold in the realm of field recordings, this is his ability to have a certain sound identity that defines his oeuvre. Through the usage of silence, textures and noise, Suárez has been able to create a very personal and creative sound world that ultimately becomes a language by itself.

After his acclaimed work “Transit Mundi” (Luscinia 2012) Suarez has been developing that very own language, following that premise, a month ago Exp_Net released “O Tempo Do Desengano” which explored similar accents and phrases such as the ones found on this album but reversing the sound sources. In the album at Exp_Net Suarez focuses on the us e of a modular synth (Doepfer A-100) and here, with Fin Da Terra, Suárez tries to do the opposite, to work mainly with field recordings and just a bit of analogue synthesis.

Fin da Terra is a compositional exploration of sounds gathered in costal areas, beaches, breakwaters and different locations in the Atlantic galician coast, where Suárez currently lives. What’s interesting of this piece is the usage of those recordings and how they have been moulded to become “voices” at the service of Suárez sound language.

Also, Fin Da Terra uses field recordings as a canvas, a surface where to play different experiments and combinations. The soundscapes are relegated and become background to the sonic accents that define Carlos Suárez oeuvre, even, he allows himself to add, here and there, elements such as a modular synthesizer that appears hidden but present if we carefully listen as a reminder of his previous work on Exp_Net.

The overall conclusion is that Fin Da Terra cannot be understood if not listened after “Transit Mundi” and “O Tempo Do Desengano”, all of it form a consequent evolution and exemplification of creative process.

Adduce

“ADD+”

Adduce – ADD+
With the first bars the journey begins and the discreet sound approaches the razor’s edge. The cut is surgical and manages to draw a clean line in the epidermis. From there the strikes go bouncing from one hemisphere to another.

Adduce are not two disassociated brains, but four functioning as a trio. The equilateral triangle between three hard drives with faces, eyes and beards. I have seen them live several times and always consider the difficulty of achieving this level of performance, so absorbed, not by the act of entering the required tempo or playing a certain note, but rather by the unfolding developments that create this conversation that you don’t ever want to end, and which in reality doesn’t ever end, because this inconclusive construction always remains ringing in eternal evolution.

Here is the path that gives meaning to the journey, not the destination, which in the case of Adduce may be many.

The form opens itself and shows us the tracks of a geometric and organic puzzle, sometimes disturbing and other times suggestive, but always an invitation to stroll along the ledge of the highest tower, from where only silhouettes distinguish themselves on the horizon, but which allows the widest panoramas.

ADD+ has no era nor time nor place: it floats in the weightless space of two brains, which I insist seem like four!

ADD+ is a gem that can help us to daydream or to imagine a new kind of retrofuturistic science fiction. The imagination of power!

“We Are Forever”

Sebastian Love – We Are Forever
“Dawn breaks up behind the eyes, where sun doesn’t shine”. We Are Forever goes out to all those emotive experiences that let us dream, that went deep into ourselves and that we’ll never forget. Things that we want to keep close or need to get rid of in order to escape from ourselves. A caress. A consciusness. A drop of eternity lost beneath our souls. Sebastian Love’s 4th ep.
