PinkLogik - Dreams Of Summer


PinkLogic - Inverse
Released: 16th May 2011
Label: Section 27
Format: MP3
Pinklogik is the brainchild of Jules (AKA Julie Straw). Her musical creations flirt mostly with electronic glitched out ambience, with the odd uptempo surprise here and there.
She was born in 1976 and grew up in Nottinghamshire, England, and discovered her love of electronic music at a very young age. Jules started experimenting with her own electronic sounds and music at the mere age of 16, her first set up consisted of an Amiga 600 computer, a sampling cartridge, some sampling and sequencing software and an old Yamaha keyboard with a digital synthesizer on it.

Today, Jules uses a more developed midi set up comprising of Cubase SX and various softsynths. She now resides near Bristol and this is where she does most of her work. Jules has 3 types of synaesthesia (Sound-->Colour, Time-->Space and grapheme) and is also a committed vegan (since the age of 26).

"After a small absence and a couple of single releases appearing since 2009, Pinklogik returns with a lovely new 6 track EP, "Inverse". Having two independently released full-length albums (Mosaic Electro / Learning To Trust Higher Frequencies) and a remix collection "LTTHF:Remixed" released on this very label, Inverse picks up right where LTTHF's journey ended. If you are familiar with her music, you'll be happy to know that the signature infectious and playful melodic elements are still intact on this release, and introduces some new vibes such as the more sombre moments like "Dreams Of Summer" or the techno fused "Phosphene Dance". The feel of Pinklogik's music is distinctly vintage, but refreshingly so. Welcome back, we've missed you." - Section 27

Nonima - Algorithm


With this third compilation of Trescatorce Netlabel "Binary Code", we have tangible proof of the open and cosmopolitan city in which they develop the findings of contemporary experimental electronica at the global level, adjacent to the creativity that is generated in this world. Music of open spaces, and compliments reverberant sonic dimensions unforgettable, which are held in harmonic compensation, abstractions irreverent dub rhythm sections enriched with quirky breaks and hip-hop loops untamed, finding even acts of delivery to the inquiry in the tradition of intelligent techno and exercises involved in acid electro pop.

VACVVM - Ignalina's Sunset


VACVVM -- Peaceful Atom
Label: Test Tube
Catalog#: tube228
Format: 10 × File, MP3, 320 kbps
Country: Portugal
Released: 14 Feb 2011
Genre: Electronic
Style: Ambient
This work is licensed under a Creative Commons License.
When it was born in the mind of Italian musician Guglielmo Cherchi, 'Peaceful Atom' was intended to be a concept work about the Chernobyl disaster, and as a result of this some tracks are ideally connected to that topic: the title track (referring to the name of the first RBMK - Reactor Bolshoy Moshchnosty Kanalny - reactor), SCRAM (the emergency shutdown of a nuclear reactor), Lava Flow (the melted material erupted from the reactor after the explosion), Leaving Pripyat (the evacuation of the nearest city to the powerplant), Worm Wood Forest (the dead trees killed by the radiations) and Ignalina's Sunset (Ignalina was the last nuclear powerplant to use a RBMK reactor, the same model involved in the Chernobyl disaster, which was only shut down in 2009).
The other songs don't belong to this concept but are related to the environment pollution problem in Russia: Oka and Yenisei are the two most polluted rivers in the planet; Pylons refers to the Shukhov towers (featured on the cover artwork), which were electricity pylons on the banks of the Oka river. The remaining track, Radiologos, is a stand-alone song, but features an original jingle aired in Soviet Russia's radio stations.
'Peaceful Atom' was entirely built from scratch using laptop-based synthesizers and electric guitar, with the exception of a few samples. On 'Worm Wood Forest': Arboretum Bad Grund by Inchadney at The Free Sound Project, on 'Radiologos': Soviet jingle and radio recordings taken with an old military tubes HF radio and on 'Leaving Pripyat': electrostatic hiss taken from an old Kenwood amplifier dating from the eighties at high volume.
Test Tube is a Portuguese based netlabel, focused on presenting new artists who are exploring new sounds. Be they electronic, acoustic or other.
Let's think of test tube as a test tube - literally - for emerging sound languages....
