WE FORFEIT :: Radio Relativa #41
This episode was originally aired in November of 2023, when the clouds of winter were gathering. Fast forward half a year and the sun is splitting the stones here in Madrid. Splitting our speakers, and hopefully yours, are some true acid techno tearaways.
p1nkf1re :: Red EP (Analogical Force)
In this sweetened half-dozen selection, p1nkf1re distinctly catches brittle moments of IDM, electro, breaks, braindance, and, more importantly, has fun with it. It’s the nostalgic sound of bygone days, brought forward to current day levels.
µ-Ziq :: Grush (Planet Mu)
Presenting an array of emotive tunes that show how delicate and sensible Mike Paradinas’ way of composing music, which not only emanates positive and rather light approaches in music expression, but makes a statement on how electronic music can be graceful and yet intriguing.
Ruby My Dear :: Smooth Working EP (Analogical Force)
For over a decade, Ruby My Dear, real name Julien Chastagnol, has been a prolific practitioner of breakcore electronics. His latest for Analogical Force carries on the spastic sonic legacy he has perfected, with melodic fissures and shattered beats galore.
Recue :: Paramnesia EP (Analogical Force)
A 5-track release that shows his sonic versatility as he produces a dark and cinematic A-side versus an IDM/electro oriented B-side.
Fasme :: Bloom (Analogical Force)
Fasme manages to bring everything together in this cheerful and optimistic assemblage by taking even the smallest melodic snippets and transforming them into larger rhythmic feats.
