#19 Feat. New Releases in Ambient / Experimental

Denise Rabe presents her first full-length album, a personal work that reflects her artistic maturity and the evolution of her creative path. The record is a conceptual project of 11 tracks, moving away from the dance-floor and focusing on detailed sound design, rhythmic experimentation, and sequencing that breaks with the standards of contemporary techno. A brilliant work that places Denise among the most talented producers in todays electronic music scene. Scenes from the vastness of the void are captured by the machinery created to measure our position in the universe, during their solitary effort to traverse the context we inhabit. Emerging within the difference between soundscapes and soundtracks, the abstract and the found sound encountered within a place as its means for self description. Environmental noise of alien landscapes, organically organizing into patterns and melody, before dissolving into mist and reintegrating into the atmosphere. A rare archeological object equal parts geological formation and architecture, where noise, texture and rhythm are both pure expression and forensic evidence.

#86 Feat. New Releases in Techno (Raw / Deep / Hypnotic)

With Reverb of the Gone EP, THEGOD01 ventures into a rarefied, otherworldly space, drawing inspiration from metaphony: the controversial and fascinating practice of attempting to capture voices and messages from the afterlife through audio devices, radio static, and analog recordings. For THEGOD01, this isnt about superstition or traditional spiritualism. The attempt to communicate with invisible dimensions becomes a tool for expanding consciousness, a means for human beings to transcend material limitations and access higher states of awareness. Metaphony is not just a medium for contact, but a mirror of the inner self: what echoes from the other side ultimately reflects who we are. Sonically, the EP reflects this tension between worlds. Two tracks, Afterlife Glitch and Intermodulation Ritual, follow a solid 4/4 structure, unfolding through a techno language that is dark, abrasive, and hypnotic, blending rhythmic pressure with dense textures saturated in inter modulated signals and ghostly resonance. The title track, Reverb Of The Gone, is instead built on a broken beat structure, as if the fracture of linear time were necessary to open a passage through reality. Here, glitch is not a malfunction, but the encrypted voice of the unseen. With this release, THEGOD01 merges ritualistic electronics and metaphysical inquiry, tracing a path that challenges both the ear and the mind.
