Taken from “Mirrorman” by Tracya (out on 51Beats, 4th of June 2021), the closing track, “Prince”, is one of the most minimal on the ep and it’s based on the bond between synthetic sound sources and ambient recondings: several recordings of synthesizers and field recordings have been deeply processed in order to recreate a fictional celestial atmosphere.
“…we’re delighted to have heard some exceptional releases from artists we perhaps wouldn’t have otherwise come across. Of particular note are Plasman’s Circles and Circles, a slice of mesmerizing electro from Milan“ [XLR8R, Los Angeles]
“…showcasing some of the finest music we heard from XLR8R+ members last month. As per usual, we’re flattered by both the quality and quantity of entries, and after lots of discussions across our Slack channels, these are the tracks that pricked the ears of all the XLR8R editors.“:
This is the ELECTRICULTS week, and “Lost Player” is now premiered @electronicgroove for you to enjoy while waiting
“Electricults is the balanced ensemble of intricate structures and killer rhythms for a magnificent dance on Orion.”
Andy Morello & Duscio: “Electricults” OUT the 26th of February 2021
Musically-speaking it has been a great year @51beats. Right after the first lock-down, optimism came jointly with the release of the Hana Sent‘s hit: Summer’s Long Shadows featuring Dana Jean Phoenix. The track has been streamed thousands of times, you can download it here. The REMIXES release followed, where the song has been creatively rebuilt by Crayon Mortel, Double Precision, Jack Bags, Martino Nencioni and Tracya. Another breakthrough, with a so far >70.000 access worldwide to the official release page !
The debut-release by Andy Morello: Collateral Fluxus of imaginary thoughts followed. An imaginific work, a unique merge of dub, techno, ambient and experimental electronic music, all performed with an extensive use of modular synthesizer environments. The track “Strange as usual” has been underlined by XLR8R’s staff as “..beautifully warped glitch dub“. To celebrate, you can freely download it here.
Giacomo Vanelli‘s “Growing Wings On The Way Down” closed our journey through 2020. Sounds to evoke distant landscapes of human emotions and spiritual transformations. An attempt at the grandiose through improvisation ….. and hope …. nothing can better identify our wishes for the immediate future: HOPE.
