Frame 4-6 is an engaging and explosive EP which releases an orchestrated stylistic fusion between chilling-scary cinematic synth ambiences and swirling hypnotic techno inflected minimalism.
[Release page] Widely specialized in hyper-minimalist-pulsating poptronica and polymorphic post-modern synth excursions, Nonine Records is progressively making a name to become an obvious reference in the production of unusual electronic music. Offered by this Berlin based label, Rael’s Frame 4-6 is a super tripped out, mysterious abstract playful electronic release. This second release from Rael is taking post-structural electronic music to a higher level thanks to the combination of really atypical sound textures and melodic techniques. A serious cross between space music, cinematic retro-ish synthedelica grooves and discreet dubsteping sonic ambiences. “Drunk Baby Walk” offers a catchy coalition between lo-fi moody electronic heaviness and totally hypno-ish techno vibes for loops, constantly dynamic and moving rhythmical bass lines and bizarre conversations with surreal sounds, treated voices. “Mandrake Black Case” delivers a gorgeously pulsating and enthralling electronic soundtracky ambience which reminds some wonderfully classic spooky scores of Goblin, Fabio Frizzi (…) but also machine-music pieces from Brassica, Heinrich Dressel at their most cinematic moments. “Dolphins at Home follows” a rather similar schema with handful of creeped-out synthesized textures, smashing-syncopated-electronic pulses and frenzy sound figures. Frame 4-6 is an engaging and explosive EP which releases an orchestrated stylistic fusion between chilling-scary cinematic synth ambiences and swirling hypnotic techno inflected minimalism. It deserves a serious listening.
Frame 4-6 EP is available on nonine. [Release page]
