"His Love" house single written by Jordan Passmore. Video directed by Logan Owlbeemoth.
For this track Jordan used a Casio RZ-1 for all of the drums except for a snare, which is actually a sample of a LinnDrum. The Casio was sync'd up with a MPC-60 which also sequenced a Roland SH-2 (bassline) and an Akai S-900 (which does the chords). The tone sampled with the S-900 was a patch made on the SH-2. All of that was mixed on a Tascam M-1600 desk with a number of the tones being sent to an analog delay and the chords being sent to a digital chorus (Ibanez DMD2000, which curiously enough died right after the mixdown session utilized in the final version of this song).
The video was made by Logan Owlbeemoth (http://tachyonsplus.tumblr.com/) using some of his custom video art machines. For this video he used the Vortex Decoder and Opti-Glitch, both which are modded 80's Radio Shack video processors. The footage comes from a Johnny Mnemonic VHS tape.
A lossless version of the track is available for download at: http://jordanpassmore.bandcamp.com/album/his-love-2

The Shadow Influence, Written and Produced by Alek Stark

Alek Start on Facebook
Published by Titan´s Halo Records
Oberheim Xpander XP1 | Roland Jupiter 6 Europa | Korg Mono/Poly | Roland System 100 - Mod.101 | Roland SH-101R | Roland TR-808
Mastered by Alek Stark at Fundamental Audio.
Intelligent Vector Object by Plástica.
Design by Alek Stark.
Available in hi quality clear vinyl, limited to200 copies.
The Shadow Influence could be the continuation of the Fundamentals Of Space Travel series released by Alek Stark on Transient Force, but this is not the third volume of this series, it´s a work that opens a new door in my personal evolution.
The main track is divided in five movements but there is not silence between those movements, is a track without cuts. I made a special edition to adapt this work to the vinyl format. The vinyl includes the digital download. The Shadow Influence is the kind of recordings you made almost without a real consciousness of the moment and even how you are working on these tracks, in those movements.
Titan's Halo has proven to be a record label that is committed to release special recordings and sadly difficult to sell in today's market but as true believers they made it putting a great care of every detail in the manufacture.
This is a very special album for me, I hope you feel the same, this is a new journey, close your eyes and enjoy. .
Vinyl manufactured in Record Industry, the best vinyl manufacture in the world.
Super sleeve manufactured by www.vinyl-sleeves.com, the best quality papers. Here we used an Gmud Reaction - Dark Silver Cloud, 315gr. The texture of this sleeve is incredible, is like fabric, and the silver tone really changes with the light.
Includes immediate download of 1-track album in your choice of MP3 320, FLAC, or just about any other format you could possibly desire."http://www.alekstark.com

Diapositive - Nightwalk EP
"The vintage synth addicts duet, Diapositive, delivers their first EP full of synthetic arabesques, hazy rythms and romantic subsonic waves.
Nightwalk takes you through timestreching pads on a rolling and dusty beat, then dives into rolling and sweaty toms.
Victory theme is all about arpeggios and lowrider driving beats, like a slow motion imaginary flying-skateboard.
Remix from Nasser cheers up the EP with a panoramic view remix, driving from melodic techno to a warm road-movie soundtrack."
You can also find Diapositive on
Soundcloud & Facebook.
The EP will be released on February the 25th.

Duck Duck Punch - RGB
Published on Dec 17, 2012 duckduckpunch·1 video
SLIGHTLY-NSFW MUSIC VIDEO
http://duckduckpunch.com - FREE DOWNLOAD.
"MINNEAPOLIS-BASED SYNTHPOP DUO DUCK DUCK PUNCH RELEASE
Duck Duck Punch has released "RGB," opening track to upcoming debut album Human Chemistry. As synthpop affectionados and general connoisseurs of all things 1980s-analog, "RGB" sounds like a modern mesh of Depeche Mode and a-ha—infused with a visual nod to the classic Robert Palmer "girly" video.
"The video isn't just about shock value or cheap thrills," explains primary songwriter Bryan Rudell, "it's a song about our cultural tendencies to have profound life-experiences through a digital screen. The song itself is about escaping reality for cheap thrills and artificial comforts."
"By exploring the collisions between the collective consciousness & the individual psyche, Human Chemistry became a cynical document of the human condition. Carried by themes of trauma, desire, disease, and escapism, Duck Duck Punch added a little grit to the classic, dance-driven synthpop formula.
Duck Duck Punch is set to release their first full-length album on January 15th under their moniker Truth No. label."

The Birth of Metro-ko
"Metro-ko is a burgeoning movement that tries to capture the sound of urban solitude and metropolitan isolationism. It is a mix of many genres and every artist currently producing the music approaches the sound differently. My debut EP is my own take on the sound. It is warm, dark, glitchy, sparse, and gritty. The EP is available as a pay what you can/ free download until the free credits run out and then it will be available for $3. If you like my EP feel free to share the link however you chose or share the music with your friends. Also, be sure to check out the Metro-Ko tag and discover some great new artists producing exciting new music."

Blast Off! with Doggie Dogster
"Doggie Dogster is a space-faring stuffed toy dog. He lives with Zoë Blade, who, when pushed, admits to helping him write and perform his songs.
In contrast to pop artists, Zoë has a strong DIY ethic, customising, hacking, tweaking, repurposing and building much of the equipment in her studio. Conversely, she stands out amongst modular synth fanatics by unashamedly focusing on catchy melodies, shunning musique concrète, and favouring a fun performance over showing off her skills at endless digital manipulation.
Doggie's music is lighthearted, fun and cute. Its chief aim is to make you laugh and smile. It is not produced. It is not mastered. It does not participate in the so-called loudness wars. It is raw. It is real, even if he is not. It is rough around the edges, recorded on-the-fly using first takes. It captures a moment, yet it is anything but contemporary. It is at once both timeless and alien. It is space music. It is a rediscovered dream of the future, unearthed from a forgotten past. It is yesterday's tomorrow, today."
