Plyfe EP

Limited hand stamped copies..

Carl Finlow keeps on keeping on. As the world changes around him, the veteran producer continues to do what he does best - craft top-quality electro tunes which invoke the sound's Drexciyan heyday, yet carry themselves with an assurance that is all of Finlow's own.Finlow remains a prolific producer more than a quarter of a century on from his emergence. Still averaging several records a year across a variety of aliases, recent times have seen Finlow forge particularly strong links with the Central Processing Unit label. Now, after a run of EPs for the Sheffield imprint which began with 2018's 'Projections', Finlow's Silicon Scally project offers up CPU's first drop of 2022 in the form of the 'Field Lines' LP.Silicon Scally productions have long been marked out by how they combine piston-precise beat programming with more textured synth play. 'Field Lines' runs with this formula to deliver some of Finlow's most atmospheric material to date. At once shadowy and expansive, listening to 'Field Lines' is the aural equivalent of taking a night-time drive around some futuristic metropolis.The beats cruise sleekly here. Many of these burbling machine-funk numbers hover at mid-tempo, the crisp clip of their drum programming given shape and depth by all sorts of percussive tones fizzing around at the fringes of the mix. Even when 'Field Lines' seems to set its sights on the club - the Bunker Records-aping 'Amino', for instance, or the dystopian whizz-bang of 'Static Fire' - the tracks here strut sturdily rather than giving in to full-on freakouts.However, from this sturdy base, Finlow moves outwards. Working with tones which range from rapid-fire machine-gun bass to keening, dawn chorus keyboard pads, Finlow leads us through the futurescape with the expertise of a seasoned guide. Cuts like 'Submerged' and 'Yield' are brilliantly cinematic, blooming from those reliable drum pulses into miniature masterpieces of nocturnal electronics. Elsewhere on 'Field Lines' there is a mechanical majesty to 'Inhibitor' and 'Altered Domain' which invokes the brave new worlds that Kraftwerk repeatedly conjured in their heyday.Central Processing Unit's first release of 2022 is 'Field Lines', an LP of electro-funk explorations from Carl Finlow's Silicon Scally project which will thrill regardless of whether it's experienced through headphones or out on the dancefloor.

One Instrument Volume 01 is the physical fulfillment of eight sound experiments composed by different producers using the guidelines of the label. The choice of the Various Artists format aims at creating an harmonious journey across different sub-genres in the ambient, techno and experimental worlds, which can perfectly embrace each other.The LP opens with a composition by In Bloom, the new project of Martino Bertola, who drives us directly into a melodic ambience. To follow it is the dense, polyrhythmic experiment by Fabian Kempe’s project ‘Korridor’. Serena Butler’s piece is built around spacey sounds and breezy rhythms.Yhdessa, the newly born Dutch-Italian duo formed by Grand River (Aimée Portioli) and Enrica Falqui, leans towards ambient atmospherics and ominous sonorities with a refined Northern European touch. Yair Elazar Glotman ventures us across his contrabass player skills giving an acoustic touch to the record.Swedish producer, Fjäder (Ida Matsdotter), handles the flip with a moody techno cut filled with evasive analog acutes.Claudio PRC delivers an electroacoustic soundscape created with a tiny, graceful drone machine.The Dutch duo, Wanderwelle, closes the LP with a dreamy and delicate excursion evoking the mysterious sides of nature._________________________________________________Mastered by Giuseppe Tillieci at Enisslab Studio, RomeOriginal artwork by Marco FasoliLayout by Marco Fasoli

A few months after the landing of 'Point A', the debut instalment in a series of 12-inch VAs blending in works from new faces and more established names, On Board Music returns this winter with 'Point B' - a followup featuring choice slices from on-the-rise French soundscaper Diane Barbé, Madrid-based dub experimentalists Uanamani and well-known Spanish techno artist Daniel Kyo under his CORE alias.Starting off with Diane Barbé's 'Something For The Mountains' - an eight minute piece of textural sublimation fusing strains of Easternmost traditional music and heart-raking downtempo, the disc moves on towards further dynamic, verbed-out atmospherics with Uanamani's 'Luzzu' - taking us straight to some eerily exotic place, where delayed drums and teeming layers of faux-organic luxuriance make one.Flip sides and you'll find CORE setting the deepness'o’metre to eleven with a pair of dubbed-out rollers. Cutting a path of hypnotic devastation across the dancefloor, 'Mantra' loops you in for a truly mind-bending trip down techno's deepest depths. Beaming back the energy levels stacked up by the previous, hectic closer 'Energia' spits out fiery waves of mesmeric synth arpeggios to ensure definitive control upon the dancers' body and mind.

The fifth release on DJ Nobu's Bitta label. A debut single by a new Japanese producer Daisuke Uchimura with two mesmerizing remixes by Marco Shuttle. Mindbending deep and hypnotic techno trips.
