Julia Bondar announces new album «Bonding»

octubre 20, 2021

THE ALBUM IS BEING RELEASED BOTH DIGITALLY AND ON VINYL VIA HER OWN ENDORPHIN.ES PRODUCTIONS

Modular techno obsessive and dark pop connoisseur: Julia Bondar’s fourth studio album Bonding sounds like nothing else you’ll hear this year.

Prior to Bonding, Bondar has released three albums, the latest of which was 2020’s Industrial Symphony LP which demonstrated her innate ability to extract orchestral sounds from synthetic equipment. A blend of techno rhythms and dark pop, it paid tribute to Bondar’s idea of a modern industrial symphony, employing the powerful and unique characteristics of analog machines while also being harmoniously linked to the pleasant, danceable, and hypnotic atmosphere of industrial rhythms: themes that are explored further on this new album.

Across nine distinct and engrossing tracks on Bonding, Bondar blends and plays with genre, from industrial, techno, electro, avant-garde pop, dark wave and more. Danceable and melodic, often moody and sinister, sometimes euphorically melancholic, she puts a unique stamp on every track she produces, giving the album a traceable through-line despite its myriad and often disparate influences and tones.

Album opener Ruby Red sets the tone in dynamic fashion: a pummelling techno thumper that gives way to two further full on industrial techno bangers in Pleasure & Pain and Flamboyant – visceral, no-holds-barred cuts that see Bondar fully cut lose with her driving, highly energetic modular programming.

From there the album drifts into perhaps its most self-reflective moment, with the intro to La neige et ses messes noires. This arresting track was made as a love-letter to French electro in collaboration with Maman Küsters, a French duo formed by Gaël Loison and Cyril Pansal, with Pansal penning the lyrics to Bondar’s music and Loison producing. This love of dark French electro is further explored on Obey: a haunting, mid-tempo slice of crushing electronica that simply demands your attention.

The title track offers a brief respite from the intensity of the previous tracks, offering a space to move your body in a tribal, hypnotic dance. Antisocial is about embrace your true self, explored by a broken beat pattern and sidewinding synth lines that ebbd and flows between crushed drums and ethereal pads, and the broken beat structure is continued on the closing track In Flame: a gorgeous, expansive redemption offering the listener space to reflect.

An arresting, beguiling listen from start to finish, Bonding is a call for emotional transformation, with Bondar evoking different states and feelings: starting from superficial but reaching to the deepest corner of your mind. This album is designed as a conversation between Bondar and her audience through the music and track names, a call for reflection and conscious approach to listening.

«Muévelo» Ep by Rumbler with Parallax Remix

octubre 1, 2021

Muévelo is the next single release from Barcelona’s based label Abundance, signed by Rumbler and accompanied by remixes by John Heaven, Parallax and Unknown Cultures, which will be released on October 1 in a digital version and in a very limited edition on dubplate format via Bandcamp.

After a series of remixes published in recent years, Muévelo represents the first original track released by the Catalan artist. A song with great influence from breaks and favela funk, which samples a forgotten reggaeton vocal, rediscovered through the Discogs search engine. Rumbler has spent years forging a reputation as a DJ thanks to his restlessness and passion for electronic music, which has led him to perform around the globe, from China to Vietnam, England or Singapore. An active member of Abundance as well in the Iberian Juke label, his mixes have been aired on major radio stations such as Rinse France, Operator Radio, Reform Radio or Reprezent, as well as at festivals such as Sónar, Outlook, Music and Dealers or L’Estrany.

Strongly influenced by sound system, rave & club cultures, Rumbler has always been passionate about broken beats and overdriven basses. Starting to collect jungle and drum and bass vinyls around 2010, his curiosity led him to explore different genres and play with BPM changes, making it a signature feature in his sessions. The surprise factor and the value for the blend, as a resource to create something new through two songs, champion him, and it is something that he tries to transmit equally with his productions.

The original song is accompanied by three remixes signed by close artists & friends. John Heaven, member of the Mainline crew and front man of the Mainline Magic Orchestra, takes it to his ground, signing a dawn-ready tech house tool with power to lift anyone out of their chair at 7 am.

Madrid’s techno best kept secret Parallax brings her unmistakable style with a mix between dark techno, breaks and powerful distorted bass lines, in an ideal remix for peak time at any warehouse party.

The most experimental remix comes from Catalan producer Unknown Cultures which mixes perfectly the essence of the song around footwork and jungle patterns driven by massive techno kicks on his ‘Headache’s Mix’.
