Barker teases new album Utility with vinyl-only white label on Ostgut Ton Posted: 25 Jun 2019 07:38 AM PDT Barker’s eagerly anticipated solo album is out this summer. Leisure System resident Barker is releasing a vinyl-only white label on Ostgut Ton this week, ahead of a new solo album called Utility. Utility is out in “late summer” and follows last year’s Debiasing EP, whose euphoric, kick drum-free techno gained it a slot in FACT’s favorite records of 2018. The white label lands this Friday (June 28) with three new tracks. Listen to clips over at the Kompakt store and pre-order the record from Bandcamp. While you’re waiting for the record to arrive, enjoy a live version of last year’s ‘Look How Hard I’ve Tried’ below.

Oli XL announces debut album, Rogue Intruder, Soul Enhancer Posted: 25 Jun 2019 05:59 AM PDT Listen to new track ‘Clumsy’ now. PAN and Posh Isolation affiliate Oli Xl – whose track ‘Mimetic’ was one of our top club tracks of 2018 – will release his debut album next month. Rogue Intruder, Soul Enhancer will land on the Swedish producer’s own Bloom imprint on July 22. According to the label, the album combines his love of pop music with his usual recipe of “club-oriented sounds and abstract sound design”. The album will be the first release on Bloom, which is the successor to his previous label, W-I. The label will be an outlet not just for music, “but also art and other more unconventional projects”. Oli XL made his debut in 2014 with an EP on W-I, and came to wider attention with a track on PAN’s Mono No Aware compilation in 2017 and Posh Isolation’s I Could Go Anywhere But Again I Go With You album in 2018. Pre-order Rogue Intruder, Soul Enhancer on CD and digital formats here. Tracklist: 01 ‘Cygnostik’ 02 ‘Liquid Love’ 03 ‘dnL’ 04 ‘Mimetic’ 05 ‘Jet Generation’ 06 ‘Flower Circuit’ 07 ‘Hesitate’ ft. Ecco2k 08 ‘Orchid Itch’ 09 ‘Imposter’ 10 ‘Clumsy’ 11 ‘Sniper Baby’ Read next: 20 under-the-radar club tracks you need to hear in May 2019 The post Oli XL announces debut album, <em>Rogue Intruder, Soul Enhancer</em> appeared first on FACT Magazine: Music News, New Music..

Inga Copeland returns with new Lolina release, Who is experimental music? Posted: 25 Jun 2019 05:35 AM PDT Featuring six offbeat rhythm experiments. Inga Copeland has dropped her second Lolina record of 2019, which features six tracks of warped grooves and vocal loops that show a different side to the former Hype Williams member. Who is experimental music? follows Copeland’s last Lolina release, the 45-minute Live in Genveva that landed in February. Buy it from Bandcamp now.

Ableton’s new website will teach you the basics of synthesis Posted: 25 Jun 2019 03:32 AM PDT From amplitude to LFOs. In 2017, Ableton launched a website called Learning Music, which taught the basics of making music in a DAW. Its follow-up, Learning Synths, is an interactive set of lessons that teach the principles of synthesis. The interactive site can be used in desktop and mobile browsers, and is easy enough for non-musicians and anyone without experience of synthesis to follow. Lessons cover everything from amplitude to envelopes, filters and LFOs. If you already have some experience with patching synths there’s a “playground mode” you can use to mess around and a set of “recipes” that show you how to make kick drums, plucked bass, siren sounds and more. Learning Synths comes less than a month after the release of Live 10.1, which added features such as user wavetables and a new delay device. Ableton also added a new set of CV tools for using modular synths with Live.

FACT mix 713: Laksa Posted: 25 Jun 2019 02:55 AM PDT Bristol-born bass explorer Laksa explores the rave’s druggy depths. When asked earlier this year what inspired him to start producing, Callum Ross, better known as Laksa, told Hyponik

it was simply “Bristol”. This makes sense: Ross’s deft blend of wobbly percussion, soundsystem-ready bass and narcotic synths is matched with the West Country city’s heritage of grit and pressure.
In the last few years, Ross has released music on Beneath’s Mistry imprint, Batu’s Timedance, Whities, Ilian Tape and Bastakiya Tapes, notching up a following for his hypnotic, dancefloor-ready constructions.
Ross also runs a regular radio show alongside re:ni for NTS called re:lax. It’s a club night too, pushing UK music and providing an hour before the DJs start for producers to test new material on the soundsystem – an invaluable provision for any beatmaker without access to a club setup, which is most of them.
Laksa’s FACT mix is a cross-genre, tempo-hopping journey through dance music’s past, present and future, blending drum & bass classics, big room techno belters, bass experiments and cuts from Bristol’s next wave. It explores the push and pull of clubbing and drugs, and is linked together with vocal snippets that only maximize the experience.

Tracklist:
Lemon D – ‘Deep Space Remix Pt 2’
Digital & Spirit – ‘Vision’
Keiska – ‘To Be, or not to be’ (club mix)
Robert Hood – ‘Assembly’
HN42 – ‘Alpha Fixe’
The Sabres of Paradise – ‘Chapel Street Market (9am)’
Piezo – ‘Art Attack Gone Wrong’
