Savage returns with an 8 track of blistering, headshifting Technoid Drum n Bass. Raised on the old school technoid of Offkey, Kemal & Rob Data, Proket, the heaviness of Technical Itch and golden era Renegade Hardware, and influenced by Hardcore, Industrial, and Speedcore, Savage delivers 8 cuts of pure dancefloor hybrid Techno Drum n Bass. Collaborations with MC Fantom, Submerged, Section 63, Katharsys, and NecroFox make this album a special landmark in the history of Technoid Drum N Bass!

Slomo – Zen and Zennor (Trilithon Records)

Posted by John Lithium on

a3032809260_10

Label Description:

Electric drone stalwarts Slomo return with only their fifth album in 20 years, “Zen and Zennor”; their sonic palette refreshed, their focus again tuned to the spectral otherness of Land’s End. The cover star – Zennor Quoit – is a colossal megalithic structure to be found on moorland above the village of Zennor, 4.5 miles to the west of St Ives.

Primitive melodies and arcane motifs are buffeted by drifting analogue oscillators on lead track ‘Zen and Zennor’, compressing into thick saturated drones before taking a sublime turn into familiar subterranean territory. ‘Zennor Diode’ crackles into manifestation above the moorland, cautioning against – or perhaps encouraging – experiments with exposed electrics in the Cornish mizzle. Complete removal of self (and band) is provided with circuit-closing track ‘Antechamber’, dissolving the Zennor’d-out participants into the hum of the Hummadruz*.

The duo continues to be informed by their work elsewhere; Chris (“Holy”) McGrail recently contributed to Julian Cope’s Dope and Queen Elizabeth projects, while Howard Marsden co-runs Hebden Bridge’s already-legendary Ambient Bowling Club, where experimental music mixes with environmental sounds, low chatter and the soft clank of bowls.

“Zen and Zennor” wraps Slomo’s only constant – immense, eventual catharsis – in a freshness and immediacy that could perhaps suggest a quickening of their notoriously glacial pace. Time will tell.

*Hummadruz refers to a mysterious, low-frequency hum or droning sound, often said to be heard around the ancient sites of Land’s End.

Various Artists – paisajes en tundra

Label Description:

(ENG)

Glacier retreat, while a natural phenomenon in some cases, has been exacerbated by various human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation and intensive agriculture. The accelerated melting of ice leads to a series of catastrophic consequences and irreversible effects that are impacting both natural ecosystems and human life.

This album was created as an initiative to raise awareness of this phenomenon, as well as to raise funds to support Glaciares Chilenos (www.glaciareschilenos.org), a Chilean NGO founded with the aim of educating and protecting the more than 26 thousand glaciers located in the national territory, through the development of educational programs and visibility of scientific content on glaciers.

In keeping the editorial line of the previous benefit compilation “migraciones”, Bahía Mansa decides to expand the previous sound palette and invites 10 other global artists to participate in this collaborative instance as part of the annual support for ecological causes.

All proceeds will be donated directly to Glaciares Chilenos (NGO).

(SPA)

El retroceso de los glaciares, si bien es un fenómeno natural en algunos casos, se ha visto exacerbado por varias actividades humanas como quema de combustibles fósiles, deforestación y agricultura intensiva. Los hielos comienzan a derretirse más rápidamente, lo que conlleva a una serie de consecuencias catastróficas y efectos irreversibles que están afectando la vida natural y humana.

Este álbum nace como iniciativa para concientizar de este fenómeno, así también como para reunir fondos y donar a Glaciares Chilenos (www.glaciareschilenos.org), ONG chilena fundado con el objeto de educar y proteger los más de 26 mil glaciares ubicados en el territorio nacional, a través del desarrollo de programas educativos y visibilización de contenido científico sobre glaciares.

En esta línea, y continuando en la línea editorial del anterior compilado a beneficio “migraciones”, bahía mansa decide ampliar la paleta sonora anterior e invita a otros 10 artistas globales a participar en esta instancia colaborativa como parte del apoyo anual a causas ecológicas.

Todo lo donado va en directo beneficio de Glaciares Chilenos (ONG).

Thank you infinitely to all the artists who contributed their talents and passion to this project, making it possible to extend this important message!
