His third long player, Dyne continues his explorations in the sprawling creative pastures found between jazz, beats, soul and good old fashioned electronica on December. Fans of his earlier work will instantly connect while newcomers will find heaps of comparisons with the likes of Jackson & His Computer Band, Kwes or Jamie Lidell. Ranging from the classic-electro-played-underwater bubble funk of “Slider” to the heavy percussive washes of “Limes” via the jaunty contemporary b-boy soul of “Wood & Brick”, Dyne’s narrative is at once unique and familiar. Creative, breezy but anchored with the right amount of star-gazing emotion, December will last much longer than its name suggests.

The Swedish (but Berlin-based) duo of Henrik Jonsson and Joel Alter made their full-length in 2011 with Mod, an album of moody, atmospheric house. Since their first album happened more or less by chance—they bumped into each other in Berlin, had some jam sessions and compiled the material—they describe their second outing as a more polished affair. While fans of the original should recognize the sound, there are a few new additions. They’ve brought in the vocalist Kazumi, for example, for the track “Brevet Hem.” The album will be available on vinyl and in digital formats, the latter of which features the exclusive cut “Tribunen.”

One of the flag-bearers of modern-day jungle, Fanu (real name Janne Hatula) steps up with a new full-length album, Departure, which marks the fifth album for the avid Helsinki-based choppaholic, being his fourth album on his own Lightless imprint.

While most drum and bass producers strive to sound as modern, high-tech, and polished as possible today, Departure is clearly a nudge towards the roots of this breakbeat-driven music many have grown to love, and just as all Fanu works before, it is likely to appeal most to those who grew up listening to the likes of Danny Breaks, Source Direct, Photek, and other seminal jungle producers who were precious about their drums in the mid-nineties and who had a seminal influence in shaping the sampling-influenced music that would grow and later become a massive worldwide phenomenon.

It has been said that while drum and bass has got somewhat simplified in terms of its rhythms, Hatula, who also has his fingers in projects in other genres, ranks among the producers of today whose drum and bass productions still maintain the connection to true jungle aesthetics: rich sampling, organic beats, and hip hop flavor.

Departure serves 11 songs, most of them with a frantic drumline backbone, but also visits downtempo, hip hop influences, and techno, proving that wherever Hatula decides to lay his musical ideas on, the result is original, and his beats are, as Amon Tobin put it, “full of texture and character.”

Boris Bunnik has finished his third full-length album as Conforce. Entitled ‘Kinetic Image’, the ten-track album is to be released on Delsin in November following on from his standout offering, ‘Escapism’, back in 2011.

In the last few years, Dutchman Bunnik has established himself as one of the most prolific producers in many different sonic realms. From deep, stripped down explorations to raw and rugged techno via conceptual and cinematic sound design projects, he is a master craftsman who coaxes evocative sounds from both analogue and digital tools whether working as Versalife, Silent Harbour or any of his other monikers.

Kinetic Image, though, is the sound of Conforce producing without the dancefloor in mind. It’s the sound of him moving away from the past and into the present. The album has very much been designed to be heard in one sitting, as a complete experience that moves away from regimented 4/4 beats and into slower, more surreptitious tempos.

The result is an all consuming sonic journey of intriguing and inspiring sounds that range from full on cerebral excursions into vast open spaces that throb invitingly (Scientific Trajectory) to underwater daydreams that suspend you deep in an ocean as various mycobacterial details float by. There’s also more industrial sounding fair that depicts a desolate warehouse in perennial decay (Semantic Field) and mysterious echo chambers that spread out all around you as celestial light beams and haunting melodic ripples gently float by as per the excellent Temporary Reversals.

An aquatic vibe pervades – no doubt a side effect of recent projects under other monikers – and the title itself relates to the fact that Conforce wanted to make moving images and art that evolve and unfold like passing landscapes. He sure has done that, because Kinetic Images is like an imaginary soundtrack to the last days of Atlantis… it sucks you in, it churns you about and it makes for music that consumes your whole conscious and rewards it with very real sonic imagery.

As is always the case with this label, the album comes with bespoke artwork from Dutch designers Graphic Surgery who are inspired by “urban environments” and “experimental electronic music from the 1990’s”. Created using an analogue spray paint/stencil technique, each ‘box’ or ‘step’ is an original image on paper and gives rise to the aesthetic of minor failures. As such, the repetitive and monochromatic design they have come up with for Kinetic Images is both structured and architectural yet dynamic and fluid at the same time. Completed with crisp typography and luxurious amounts of negative space, it’s artwork as considered as the music it conceals.

Derek Carr is one of Ireland’s unsung heroes of soulful techno. Derek has been making music for almost 2 decades now (if you include his early experiments as a 14 year old with a Casio sampler).

Following the great success of his previous album ‘The Digital Space Race’ Psychonavigation are excited to release the artist’s new album ‘Binary Son’.

Derek worked closely with Psychonavigation’s Keith Downey to handpick his best nine tracks that work perfectly as a long player. Derek’s heart lies in Detroit and the influence of Juan Atkins & Derrick May can be heard throughout the album as he easily blends soulful Techno with Ambient & Electronica. There’s also a nod to the 90’s electronic sound of The Black Dog / B12 & As One.

Hyper – ‘Lies’ Emotional, Driving, uncompromising are all words to describe the latest (and probably greatest) album to leave the Hyper studio, Lies. Known for big production, a liberal use of live bass, guitars and uncompromising vocals, the last decade has seen Hyper go from tearing up clubs and festivals all over the world to scoring tracks for Hollywood trailers, TV and video games as well as remixing for some of the worlds biggest artists. Two and a half years have passed since Hatfields last outing under his Hyper moniker (the award winning cowrite Lights with Beatman & Ludmilla) and those years have not been easy ones. This, however, does not mean the album is introspective or self indulgent. Far from it! Personal difficulties have ensured that Lies has pushed the Hyper sound to new levels and helped Hatfield find a new focus for his material. From album opener Clockwork, which drifts from ethereal intro and metronomic ticking clock into a full force, relentless techno inspired, distortion filled juggernaut of a track to the epic, contemplative orchestral maneuverings of Take Me Away, this album is an outpouring of heart and soul. Once again, the album features a raft of talented vocalists. LA based Neil Ormandy adds depth and soul to the Hyper stylings of Out Of Time and Take Me Away and an almost Trent Rezner-esque energy to Controllin Me. NY rapper Shirt spits venom over the energetic punk electronica of Live Forever while Robert Shields adds a stunning top line for the albums most commercial track by far, Heartbeats. The album also sees Hyper successfully team up again with Beatman & Ludmilla for standout dancefloor cut, ‘Breed’, which has been wowing festival crowds when road tested over the summer! Lies is already making its mark where the Hyper sound always has To picture. The title track has just been broadcast on the final season of CSI:NY ,Live Forever features on the new Need For Speed game, Clockwork on the forthcoming Gran Tourismo release and Take Me Away has been requested for use on the trailer to massive new Fox US TV show Almost Human by JJ Abrahams and Bad Robot (Star Trek). To top this off, the completion of Lies and the direction of some of his other work has inspired a follow up album. This will see 8 of the 10 tracks reinterpreted with orchestration. Picking out sound design, String and key feature elements of the album tracks, collaborator and composer Chris White has teamed up with Hatfield to Remix them in an entirely new and innovative way adding beauty and even more depth to the material. Symphony Of Lies will surface in early 2014.

Love is elusive; you can feel it, but you can’t touch the emotion, at least not in a physical way. Love is shy to show her face, preferring to stay out of sight for long periods. Her heavenly presence, guarded against the eyesight so as to be unseen, ensures that you can’t reach out a hand and embrace the emotion, but you can still feel the heat when she is there, surrounding all of you while lighting the match that will set your heart on fire. Like music, like romance, love can heal, change a heart and change a life; the touch of a loved one is found in an arc of a thousand smiles. In this vale of tears, sensual kisses are left to sustain, lovingly left lingering, staying a little longer on the skin in her long reaches of delay and reverb. Love is here.

Bluhm are a dream couple, comprising of Tim Diagram and vocalist Genoveva. A shared love for music has brought them together; one passion, one devotion. In The Vale Of Tears is the outcome, finding itself on the very pretty Fluid Audio. And it isn’t just pretty music, it’s gorgeous. Atmospherically alive, the music looks through rose-coloured windows onto what could be Heaven itself. Lyrically sure, Genoveva’s voice is a sweet perfume, a playful fragrance that caresses the ambient layers with a beautiful vocal freedom; the same kind of freedom found in love.

Opener “The Mirror Of My Soul” soars immediately away, her soulful, soaring voice a kiss in the breeze, arriving at Oriental-influenced tones that echo outwards. Her voice then splashes softly into pools of lighter tones, like rose petals floating in romantic, scented waters as bubbles drift through the air. In The Vale Of Tears will drape a loving arm around your shoulder, consoling you with the potential of renewal, encouraging you forward and extracting any strand of prolonged melancholia as if it were a protruding thorn continuing to wound the flesh and the spirit. “Eventide” longs to let go, to be set free, sent into the light with the heart-felt words “release me” tugging at the sky. Hope can be found in the lucid atmosphere, which successfully avoids any dark clouds that may try to approach and upset the positive vibe.

You can’t have a little rainbow without a little rain; Bluhm understand that experiences shape us, be they negative or positive. Learning takes place, we develop, strengthen, carry on. In The Vale Of Tears charts the flip side, too – but only to show us how hope is formed. Bluhm are opening their hands as well as their hearts – upsetting times can make us appreciate what we have, and this appreciation burns the fuel that enables us to endure the dark, when the satiated smiles vanish and the tears fill valleys.

In The Vale Of Tears flutters on the winds of rejuvenation. Everything flows together; the music is a fountain, gushing clear, clean waters of radiant optimism and liberty. At points, the ambient breeze feels tropical in tonality; the cute, chirpy birdsong instills an even deeper sense of peace, respite and renewal. “As You Smiled And Passed Me By” still returns to a disappearance, a period when you fell in love, and love retreated. She is here now, haunting the backstreets of melancholic thoughts. The music always returns to healthy gardens, a sanctuary for lost valentines injured on battlefields. The music doesn’t think twice about the past. She can forgive it, but she also knows she will never forget it. Bluhm take the unsteady, brave steps forward, and instead of ruminating over love’s existence, they have chosen to believe.

In The Vale Of Tears is both lucid and absorbing. The music doesn’t so much wash over you as it does soak your skin with some lush ambient imagery. In The Vale Of Tears is romantic music that returns once again to the optimistic promise of life, love and the chance for renewal; for hope, when you thought it had faded, lit by the fire of love, lit by a new dawn.

Between You And The Shapes You Take is the second collaborative album by Richmond based musician/sound artists Stephen Vitiello and Molly Berg. As with the duo’s previous release, The Gorilla Variations (12k2013, 2009), tracks are created out of improvisations and sculpted through editing. Molly Berg’s clarinet and vocalizations tend to cover the CD’s lyrical content while Vitiello’s guitar and processing covers a good deal of the textures. Two of the tracks on the CD feature violin by the multi-talented Hahn Rowe, once a member of the group Hugo Largo.

There’s an immediate air of melancholy and longing to a number of the tracks. An initial demo recording for the album was remarked on by a listener who said “I’ve fallen face first into a machine that erases the memories of an ended relationship as if it were a sound instead of a real life that fell in love with the girl again in the end.” A strange amount of truth exists in that statement and the entirety of it was momentarily considered as the album title. Instead, Between You And The Shapes You Take is a borrowed quote from Wallace Stevens’ poem The Blue Guitar.

As for the recording process, Vitiello writes: “Things tend to go best when Molly and I don’t speak beforehand or plan anything for the recording beyond a time to meet and to begin. We’ll play for as long as we can and generally find that the beginnings and endings are implied in the performance. Where the last album was recorded in my office at school with all of our equipment balanced precariously on my desk, this one was in a proper studio. It allowed for more isolation and let us take advantage of quieter instruments such as the acoustic guitar and Molly’s slide whistles and found pieces of percussion.” The final track on the CD is the only one that was recorded separately. It’s actually a re- construction of that fated recording that potentially contains the machine that erases memories.
