Arketip Discs is a Barcelona-based vinyl and digital imprint co-founded by Spear and Makuto that has featured music by Reeko, Truncate, Temudo, ORBE, and Eduardo De La Calle.
After the memorable performance at Mostra festival, the electronic music group Sonic Wave Collective aka SWC, formed by the producers ABSIS, Cyklos and Spear, release their first vinyl record for Arketip Discs. SWC introduce a new avant-garde voice to the underground scene, weaving a mesmeric narrative that combines textures of introspective and refined techno with a very personal style.
This debut features six cuts that reveal the trio’s diversity of influences and sonic sophistication.
Forest on Stasys is a renowned Argentinian artist who not only runs Aura Sonora, and is Co-Founder of Danza Nativa, but has released music on Claudio PRC’s 012, Harmony Rec, and Fur:ther Sessions amongst others.
Beginning with “Kinetic Echoes,” a track that takes a classic approach, embodying the introspective essence of techno, with a solid and meticulously crafted structure that evokes depth without explicit nostalgia.
“Resilience” follows, and is the most energetic cut of the disc, which fluidly combines elements of dub and techno to create a track full of groove and a captivating rhythmic impulse.
“Shared Textures” is a reduced composition that unfolds with a constant but relentless pulse, weaving a subtly enigmatic atmosphere.
The fourth original track is titled “Arise,” and it’s an immersive and elegant piece, with delicate touches that drag the listener through complex layers of sound.
“Arise (Forest on Stasys Tribal Remix)” gets the first reimagining with this version, introducing elements of tribal and minimal techno, adding organic percussion and primitive rhythmic intensity to the original.
“Arise (Forest on Stasys Remix)” This midtime interpretation slows down the pace, enveloping the track with a more dense and atmospheric presence, while maintaining the captivating appeal of the original.
SWC offers a cohesive record full of nuances, which transitions between serenity and intensity, maintaining exceptional sound quality throughout the journey.
This release is available on vinyl, underscoring the project’s commitment to the physical and collectible aspects of electronic music culture.
Known for their commitment to emerging talent and high-quality productions, Arketip takes a step forward with this release, amplifying a new voice within the local and international techno scenes.
