Premiere & Interview: Moteka Releases Debut Album on Skryptöm

/in , , /by

Once upon a time in a distant place and in a distant time, lived a boy named Leon. Leon grew up in a land where legends of past battles between humans and machines, lead by the fierce TCX2290, were strong. It was said, victory of the humans over the robots was conducted by the mighty General Ostkröf III. Leon did not go along well with the other children, and spent most of his time alone, exploring the countryside, imagining he was the General fighting for human survival. One day, he discovered the remains of what seemed to be a hidden sleeping robot…

As We Fought Iron Giants is the soundtrack to the story of ourselves not wanting to leave childhood as we grow into adults, fighting imaginary demons. Music in itself is a mean of therapy and channels the tremendous amount of one’s imagination. This twelve track techno journey is Moteka’s debut album on French techno label Skryptöm, and is beautifully illustrated by world-renowned artist Nicolas Delort.

Premiere: Luca Marchese Debuts on Intec Digital with “Breaking Silence” EP

/in , , /by

Carl Cox is an industry figurehead who’s legacy in music includes his iconic label Intec, which he runs with friend and business partner Jon Rundell, and the new release is a label debut from Luca Marchese.

Featuring on Intec for the first time, Luca Marchese is a young talent who has already proven himself making many notable releases on labels including Respekt, Kraftek, Phobiq, Tronic and AnalyticTrail.

Having spent many years DJing locally in his hometown of Caserta in Italy, the success of his productions has led to him starting to get international bookings in places such as Germany.

Still a young artist at the start of his career he has already made many high profile achievements, and this EP is another stepping stone towards his ascendance through the world of techno.

Along with Carl Cox other fans of Luca Marchese’s music include Tale Of Us, Joseph Capriati and Maceo Plex along with many others of equal respect.

“Alien Biosymmetry” starts off proceedings with thrashing percussion and enchanted vocal snippets the lead to the euphoria of the main breakdown, before the throbbing acid-line and kick drum lift things up a gear to devastating effect.

Next up “Breaking Silence” has a brooding tension that swells up from the low-end frequencies of the bassline. Squelching stabs and analogue pops give driving force to the fast-flowing rhythms that reach critical mass with an explosion of relentless energy.

Created for the dancefloor, the record is a palette of dance music sounds, ranging from techno-meets-rave-style-trance anthem ‘Red Point’, melodic extravaganza ‘Dimension’ and peak time banger ‘Run’, which has been a part of Adam Beyer’s sets since last summer. 1ne also sees 2pole collaborate with Christian Smith, Philadelphia’s spoken word artist Ursula Rucker, Jam & Spoon’s Jam El Mar and Hamburg-based modular devotee Colectivo Triangular.
