L'énigme du timbre by YougSearching for the sound of a river flowing under the ice, the cracking of the ice cap, capturing the rhythm of the tides under starry nights. This is what inspired the composition of the EP.L’énigme du timbre is a journey through the great Quebec winter, immersing us in the journey of water under the ice. From river to lake to river, this journey lets us experience the different stages and modes of propagation of the vital liquid, from the infinitely small to the immensity of a united and total mass.The use of microphonic and hydroponic sound recordings mixed with modular and granular synthesis served as a compositional basis for working around timbre, polyrhythm and natural forms transcribed into different envelopes, reproducing complex and unique sounds. Youg’s second EP is a hybrid of natural sound and synthesised sound. While remaining in the spirit of techno, Youg’s work on texture is unique and constantly evolving.

Music Has The Right To Children by Boards of Canada

Debossed de Joe HoweFollowing on from his previous two KPM-esque library music releases for the label (Plastic Thought & Wyped Out) Debossed sees Howe ramping up his sound into more rhythmically expansive weirdo club-music territory, taking in everything from footwork, drum & bass, electro, juke and breakcore. The Japanese jazz inspired melodic phrasing is as present as ever, which is paired with affectionate nods to Dreamcast gaming & skate video soundtracks, making for a very fun, fresh and generous listen.

Aniara white label number four brings exactly that to the floor. Two of Arkajo's most propulsive dance-floor tunes are combined on the A-side. Complemented by Dorisburg and Efraim Kent (a debut on Aniara) on the flip with the darker cut Data Smuggler.
