Solar Ashes, by Cuften

Solar Ashes

by Cuften

supported by

charlie2300 A triumphant return to the sound of proper sonic techno circa '92; the Golden Age of techno. Solar Ashes would not be out of place if it had been released on Cold Rush. Some decent acid tracks featured as well as the Mover-like opener 'Solar Ashes'. See ya in 2017. Favorite track: Solar Ashes.

about

Hot on the heels of our tentacular project ’The Most Famous Unknown’, Planet Phuture is proud to welcome rising French talent Cuften to the fold. A most fitting match for PP’s future-facing vision, Damien Peltier has been pushing some of the finest techno around over the last couple of years, landing a handful memorable cuts via the likes of Parisian label Tripalium and his own imprint, Purusu. Cloaked in dim-lit atmospheres and open-ended post-apocalyptic narratives, his debut solo 12” blends in all of the elements that made his sound stand out from the crowd of releases coming up these days - traversed by dogged primitive rhythms and reassessed 303-infused Detroit’isms, but also stamped with his signature no-frills rave elegance.

Speeding up the cosmic highway like Deckard roams San Fran’s neon-splattered alleys on the hunt for replicants, Cuften takes us on a full-immersion journey into dystopian electronic soundscapes. Full-beam on, ’Solar Ashes’ has us drifting amidst ruins of a devastated city - its lysergic bass languidly threading its way across brutalist concrete facades and cold ember set for reignition. A more martial affair, ’The Black Rain Order’ pulls out the rattling drums, slo-boiling arpeggios and moebius-strips of wistful acid to score a supremely tense crescendo, both optimally tasted on and off the dance floor.

Moving up closer to the free-spirited vibe of the '90s open-air raves, ‘Rise Of The Neo-Humans’ unleashes a baroque firestorm of sucker-punchy toms and hyperventilating shuffle, woven against an endlessly expanding corolla of hallucinogenic shapes and fluttering harmonics. Sinking further deep into all-dark dubby grounds, ‘Lasttt Batttle’ extrudes its obsessive melody out a thick gangue of squelchy chords and bleepin’ engineering to form the kind of brain-washing hybrid pumper that'll roast your last remaining neurones. Trouble-brewing isn’t over though and the droney ‘Kjhfskjoize’ shall take you to places unknown through eleven minutes of envelope-shifting shamanism, thinking noise bake-off and gravity-defying arrangements. Bend your mind.
