His impeccable sonic credentials have seen him work with such luminaries as Bryan Ferry, Michael Nyman and Laurie Anderson. His debut DiN solo album comes at a rather strange time for many people. The onset of a global virus has shut down much of the world around us and for many creatives, such as Rimbaud, the immediate cancellation of all live performances. Rather than sit back and worry he felt it was important to immediately embrace the tools at hand, and use the power of technology to respond positively.

Ulises Labaronnie who hails from Buenos Aires in Argentina has been active in the experimental electronic music scene since the mid-90s and has recorded numerous albums both as a soloist and with his projects triØN, Ensemble Circular as well as Sophos. He has many other musical threads in his life including music and sound design for film which showcases his great love for nature and the wild landscapes around him. Sending Signals (DiN88) is inspired by the work of renowned British astrophysicist Sir Roger Penrose, in particular the concept that advanced civilisations could leave markers or signals for the next cycle or rebirth of the universe. Indeed his music has its origins in the Berlin School and space music genres but he takes it far beyond their limits with the introduction of intricate rhythms and modern digital textures to produce a sound all his own. Over the course of nine tracks the music gently meanders through a series of tone poems incorporating Vangelis like lead lines, ostinato sequencer patterns and lush chordal pads. At other times more glitchy textures are introduced as well as field recordings and IDM style drum patterns. This all adds up to a totally unique album that crosses the boundaries of musical genres which is something DiN has always encouraged.

Their show at E-Live in The Netherlands from 2007 was the only concert of theirs so far unreleased and hence Chronicle (DiN89) is both here to fill that gap and to provide a reminder of the power this duo could create in a live setting. This concert was unusual in that ARC used it as a chance to showcase their recently released album Fracture (DiN28) and indeed the duo constructed their set around the five tracks from that album, interlinked by short ambient passages. Underpinning the rhythmic elements of each piece is the huge Moog modular utilised by Mark over the years to such sensational effect, not only in the ARC project but his band Redshift. In creating that Berlin School sound this system is the real deal and under his skilled sequencing the pieces have an organic life that breathe and can grow from a tiny staccato rhythm to a huge growl in seconds. Over this structure Boddy and Shreeve layer atmospheric effects, warm chordal motifs and blistering solo lines. The concert culminates in the sensational 22 minute epic track Rapture which begins with spacey, drifting atmospheres before chordal Mellotrons add a sense of the grandiose. This just lulls the audience into a sense of calm before those sequencers thunder in to produce a truly hypnotic and incredible sonic climax.

He has also made no secret of his musical heritage and influences, especially the 1970’s German electronic music masters such as Tangerine Dream and particularly the late, great Klaus Schulze. So when, through a chance conversation with Harald Grosskopf at a music festival in the Netherlands, the opportunity arose for them to collaborate together Boddy jumped at the chance.  Grosskopf has had an amazing career as a drummer working with many German music luminaries. Of special interest to Boddy is his work with Schulze on some of his finest mid-70’s albums and this connection forms an emotional bridge to that fervent, shared musical heritage. However Grosskopf is way more than just a percussionist and his classic Synthesist album showcases the other side to his music with his very personal use of melody and harmony. Thus Boddy and Grosskopf combine forces in a stunning display of sequenced and groove based tracks that constitute the album Doppelgänger. The album flirts with the so called Berlin School of music but goes way beyond it’s metronomic straitjacket with Boddy serving up multi-patterns of shifting sequencer lines underpinned by Grosskopf’s mesmerising percussion grooves. There are ample examples of Boddy’s modular synth sound design on show, especially on tracks such as Boulevard Horizon and Dubnium. Elsewhere Grosskopf has a playful input on the track Livewire and indeed his keyboard playing are as much a part of this album as Boddy’s own. The album ends with the stunning title track with its grandiose chords and processional percussion.

He has garnered quite a reputation both for his live performances as well as a series of releases on labels such as Castles In Space, Quiet Details and Woodford Halse. He has also appeared on a couple of the Tone Science albums, most notably Volume 8, which was the Tone Science Live event from last year. Thus the time seemed right to invite Mark to create a long form solo release on the DiN imprint. What is particularly fascinating is that Burford seems to channel the Kosmische Musik vibe of early Tangerine Dream without actually trying to copy their style. His music just seems to end up in a similar sound world but via a completely different path. In his words; “I’ve always loved how music creates new worlds -  imaginary environments you can live in. As a listener you become immersed in a new reality for the duration of an album. Fully enveloped by textures, melodies, harmonies and rhythms, new pictures appear in the minds-eye, new dreams … strange \u0026amp; beautiful landscapes sketched in sound. An alternate, portable reality.” With a running time of nearly 70 minutes this is exactly what FLC achieves on this beautiful album. From the opening gentle undulations of ‘The Sun In Splendour’ the music is both familiar and yet strangely different. The epic, almost 20 minute piece, ‘Collapsable Mantra’ flirts with Berlin School sequencing but adds something new and fresh to the mix. The music has time and space to gently unfold, to grow organically where texture and harmony become one before finally coming to rest on the shimmering shoreline of the final track ‘Interference Patterns’.

This new release from Loula Yorke is another fine addition to the DiN canon and provides a showcase for an electronic musician with a unique, musical vision. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DiN","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":53459998998859,"sku":"R9752-0147","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/qo_O6CMf.jpg?v=1758660134"},{"product_id":"herzog-a-retrospective","title":"Herzog - A Retrospective","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eThis bold new release by modular synth duo d’Voxx is their third on the DiN imprint, having previously released \u003cem\u003eTélégraphe\u003c\/em\u003e (DiN58) and \u003cem\u003e1984\u003c\/em\u003e (DiN75) to much critical acclaim.

Their ambitious sound worlds incorporate elements of prog, techno, rock, field recordings, and even a sample of a 1911 opera on, where else but the track Impossible Monolith, which references the epic film Fitzcarraldo. The duo state that these tracks do not attempt to score the films but rather to inhabit their territories: the fevered conquistador descending into megalomania; Woyzeck ground to psychological dust by institutional cruelty; Fitzcarraldo's monumental folly; Nosferatu's ancient weariness; the slave trader's trajectory through exploitation and dissolution.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThis third outing from d’Voxx will delight and surprise their admirers in equal measure and once again proves that the DiN label never stands still but is constantly looking to push through the straitjacket of genre boundaries.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DiN","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":56134639911243,"sku":"R0620-6852","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Outlook-lsa1o3ed.png?v=1765978095"},{"product_id":"petite-constellations","title":"Petite Constellations","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"elementToProof\"\u003eEvan Bartholomew, known professionally as Bluetech, is a widely respected figure in the electronic music world.

P\u003cem\u003eetite Constellations\u003c\/em\u003e sees Evan sonically exploring in a whole new direction. As the word ‘petite’ implies, the thirteen tracks on this album are musical miniatures, in a way reminiscent of the concise form of some of Erik Satie’s famous piano works. The album was conceived as a subtle homage to Mort Garson, specifically his album ‘Mother Earth’s Plantasia’. It is a series of vignettes, both cosmic and microscopic in scale. It is unabashedly melodic, with contrapuntal analogue synth lines that weave and intertwine around each other. Subscribing to the concept of ‘as above so below’, whereby the microscopic world mirrors the realms of the macrocosm, there is so much detail in these compositions that will slowly unfurl their beauty over multiple plays.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"DiN","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":56892373303627,"sku":"R0437-2448","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/image_dfc3d70b-2aa3-4e15-987c-f3b3ff964581.jpg?v=1774604654"},{"product_id":"juxtapositions","title":"Juxtapositions","description":"\u003cp\u003eA collaboration album by DiN label boss Ian Boddy and Scanner\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScanner (UK musician Robin Rimbaud) has previously released two solo albums on the DiN imprint, namely An Ascent (DiN63) and The Homeland of Electricity (DiN72), as well as being included on several of the label’s compilation albums.

The nine tracks on the album gently oscillate between hypnotic cycling patterns and nebulous, ambient soundscapes. The music plays as a continuous suite of tracks, which segue into each other and create a dream-like journey that constantly shifts the listener’s focus. Interspersed with field recordings from old houses and reverberant cellars, as well as Rimbaud’s signature radio chatter, the music is both abstract and emotive.
