#64 Feat. Staff Picks in Electronica

Finetune, an experimental electronic musician and producer known for live performances, has dropped a fresh EP called 'Determination.' It's a mix of five tracks created at different times, reflecting the artist's musical journey. This marks the seventh addition to Finetune's collection and the first release under the label RADI MIRA I LUBVI, known for conscious electronic music. You can catch the official release on all streaming platforms by November 25, 2023. Under the pseudonym Finetune is Michael Dop, a versatile artist-DJ, producer, visual creator, and the mastermind behind the electronic label and crew, Slowdance. Finetune's vibe is all about intelligent electronic music crafted through improvisation using modulators, live instruments (even classical ones), and their digital counterparts. 'Determination,' the new EP, stays true to this vibe. It's a musical exploration of resolve, emphasizing the need for hands-on experience to navigate the overflow of information. 'Understanding knowledge involves living it. Sometimes, we need a certain push to act, turning potential into action-it's how we truly grasp knowledge. This EP is about that shift, from consuming information to making moves.' (Finetune) The EP, 'Determination,' houses five tracks-a mix of electronic tunes perfect for contemplation and insights that might have slipped your notice before. Some tracks are born from impromptu experiments using a VST sampler with piano bits, while others explore the depths of modular synthesizers and the analog Sequential Ob-6. The EP reaches its peak with the fourth track, 'HOW DO I KNOW YOU,' featuring an unrehearsed cello performance by Iskandeor Hannanov. Listen to Finetune's EP 'Determination'
