Eleese EP - Awkwardly Social 001

IM096 - Aroent - Say
Label: @Infinite-Machine
Release Date: May 27th,2022
Format: Digital
Remix track: @deejayploy
Artwork by Vojd - https://vojd.net/visual/

Following on from a release-packed 2021, Infinite Machine are back with a new 4-track offering from the relative newcomer, Aroent. Across 3 new original cuts (plus a rework by UK dance royalty, Ploy) the Berlin-based producer delivers some serious rollers crammed full of gnarly drumwork and a pervasive air of unease. Like the strange, abstract creature of the record artwork, the music of Say EP is an amorphous beast, mixing the dense arrangements/layering of 90s IDM records with the off-kilter and swung beats of UK Techno and Funky.

The EP opens with its title track; a whirl of snaps, claps and phantom samples all firmly underpinned by an acid-inflected bassline. Aroent embracing of chance and luck in his compositions is evident on this track, throwing in idiosyncratic automations and randomizers to grow and evolve the tune over its 5 minute duration. The vox samples (stolen from Breaking Bad) seem to decay and fall inwards on each other on ‘Say’, as if the song is soundtrack to a decaying and corrupted society (not dissimilar to Heisenberg’s).

On ‘Rolling Oddities’, Aroent’s love for the Bristol bass & techno scene really shines through clearly. A track that seems almost built for a spinny night that rolls on until the morning, the song really does what it says on the tin with its combination of driving, rhythmic elements and it’s smattering of pretty out-there decisions in terms of arrangement and sound processing. This is a definite must-listen tune for fans of Batu, Lurka or Hodge.

Next up, ‘Bobcat’ takes things in a slightly more buoyant and ecstatic direction with its ever-rising filters and muted percussion that seems like it’s dancing along on tip-toes. On this song especially, Aroent’s genre-agnostic approach to production is abundantly obvious with elements of techno and bass sitting alongside kick drums that wouldn’t feel out of place on some Jersey Club tracks.

Ploy brings up the rear on Say EP with a ferocious ‘Skeletal Tool remix’ of the releases’ title track. Taking a reductionist approach to his rework, the Timedance signee strips out some of the originals’ more hyperbolic or dramatic elements and reduces it to a polyrhythmic, semi-genreless heater. Seriously - you try and pin this edit down to a single ‘genre label’, I dare you!

Despite the small number of releases to his name, Say EP is a highly confident and well-realized offering from the Greek-born, Berlin-based producer. In a way, Aroent is already creating his own sonic signature that lifts and interpolates aspects across the UK Bass spectrum and turns it into something totally unique. This is music that lurks in the shadows of warehouse clubs.

Premiere: Aroent ‘Bobcat’

"A pillar of bass music since the early 2000s, DJ & producer Flore has made a name for herself in the landscape of French electronic music.Since 2014, she’s been hosting her @polaarsounds show on Rinse France, on which she invites her current musical crushes, and promotes a complex-free approach to club music.

Tune in for POLAAR every 3rd & 4th Sunday of the month, from 21h to 22h [CET] on rinse.fr"

Rinse France Podcast

POLAAR invite Prettybwoy & Rachiid Paralyzing - 22 Mai 2022

The silence in the room was deafening; an air of unease had been present ever since she entered the room. For the past few days he'd made a decision to grin and bear it, there wasn't long before he could remove himself from this situation for good - until then he'd keep himself to himself and say nothing at all. In all honesty, he was out of words now, there was nothing left to say that hadn't been said already, she couldn't turn back the hands of time...

Infinite Machine made a statement with their final release of 2021. A celebration of them reaching 10 years in the game, the label are now looking ahead to another packed year continuing their exploration of the weird corners of contemporary dance music.

Following a label return from Soft As Snow last month, Infinite Machine welcome Greek-born producer Aroent to the family for a four-track EP, made up of three originals and a rework from Deaf Test boss Ploy. You can hear the different influences that inform his approach - touches of IDM, UK techno, bass and experimental funnel into the dense, layered compositions, which are full of heavy drum programming, crisp percussion and plenty of swing.

NTS Radio 27.05.22 - Martha w/ Aroent

A crunchy club-ready mix from Berlin-based producer Aroent who exercises his approach to improvisation featuring tracks from Leese, Splash Pattern, Forest Drive West, Bluetoof, Amaliah and more. 

Speaking about the mix, Aroent says, "This mix is mostly inspired by the club nights I've been doing lately and driven by my attempt to redefine my thoughts on club music. Quite a lot of variety in my opinion, some ups and downs that I've been really enjoying lately, less thinking and more improvisation than usual in my mixes."

Aroent is a Thessaloniki-born and Berlin-based producer and DJ. Since 2020, he has released 'Say' EP on Infinite Machine including a Ploy remix, 'Eleese' EP on Awkwardly Social and a contribution on Athens UHD compilation on Trial&Error. With support from the likes of Ben UFO, Mor Elian, Rhyw, Gramrcy, BBC 6 Music, Resident Advisor, DJ Mag and more, Aroent has guested on shows such as NTS with Martha and Rinse France with Background and DJ Absurd.

bonebrokk x @Aroent - A Phantom Blade

https://infinitemachine.bandcamp.com/album/im107-bonebrokk-in-between-two-worlds

bonebrokk - In Between Two Worlds
Label: @infinite-machine
CAT#: IM107
Format: Digital
Release: November 24th, 2023

From the very start of Bonebrokk’s debut album, we are plunged into a downward spiral of industrial percussion and distorted voices. ‘Altered Realities’ builds a terrifying maelstrom out of what sounds like an engine in a deep tunnel, a seismic alarm, and a hype MC calling for help through a busted intercom. Soon a galloping kick appears and we are off to the races. From there, the record rarely lets up.

The sonic palette remains fairly consistent throughout, but the album covers a lot of ground rhythmically and stylistically, touching on deformed dancehall, hyperfuture dnb (Vassilina’s guest spot provides one of the few moments of relative tenderness), and loads of mutant, latin-inflected techno rollers. Two beatless interludes provide breathers—‘Timelines Melt’ and ‘Valley of Wolves’— although, as the titles might suggest, even these are steeped in dread.

Bonebrokk has crafted ‘In Between Two Worlds’ as a bridge into an imagined world that he can escape to, a respite from the banality of day jobs and our mundane everyday existence that club music can provide for us all.

CREPE 005 / Haimzu invites @aroent

"CREPE (‘cracks’, ‘rifts’) focuses on exploring liminal zones and off-grid acoustic signatures.

Greek-born and Berlin-based producer and DJ, Aroent follows an approach focusing on unconventional club-oriented rhythmic structures and inventive sound effects.
His productions are characterized by their dense programming, top-notch sound sculpting and momentary blasts of flavour across a broad range of sounds and genres. It's been defined as a lively, transmuted blend of “global” techno and bass.
His DJ sets are a vibrant, playful, and energetically eclectic fusion of inspiration drawn from techno, IDM, bass, and deconstructed club music while seamlessly moving across a pretty wide range of BPMs.

Dive into the depths of sound and immerse yourself in Aroent's latest masterful mix!"

Walking through town he cast a glance at the people moving quickly, they walked with delicate precision and intent towards work and other such extravagant places. He didn't have such luxury for he was a concrete dweller, a night wanderer. There was every quirky chance that he might bump into an old friend at any given time, who knew what he might find? 

Aroent is set to release a new EP which has already been featuring in the sets of the likes of Ben UFO, Gramrcy and more. That usually means you are on to a winner and to be honest, this track speaks for itself.
