Medlock

Cruel Bass welcome to his roster the Mancunian psychedelic talent @medlock_____ “Leftfield sonics, hypnotic essence, post-industrial savor. The potion of UK-based DJ producer Medlock has started to boil. With roots planted in the industrial echoes of Oldham, Medlock’s musical upbringing unfolded amidst the gritty backdrop of factories and mills dotting the horizon. Introduced to electronic music by his father and uncle, who shared their jungle and hardcore tape packs, Medlock’s passion ignited in the psychedelic beats of makeshift rave venues. Venturing deeper into Manchester’s underground scene, Medlock’s sound perspective expanded, guided by the experimental reverberations of venues like “The White Hotel.” Influenced by unorthodox textures of heavier sounds, he began to carve out his signature notes. Focused on delving into the darker layers of tekno, techno, trance, and beyond, Medlock molds mosaics of pulsation, minimalism, and eerie spaciness. Guiding listeners through the abyss of deeper territories, it’s certain that one will find solace in the meeting point of transcendence and darkness. With releases on key labels, Mirror Zone, area127 and Optic Portal, Medlock’s realm of psychedelic sonic exploration continues to expand, and you are invited to immerse yourself in it.” Booking & Management [email protected] #techno #tribal #bass #psy #idm #ambient #hypnotic #electronic #medlock #cruelbass #cruelmachinebooking #manchester

OW15 ØLUB - Tegha With Tegha, ØLUB flows into this world with force and restraint. The duo of 5RVZ and Medlock lands on Omen Wapta with a masterclass in weight distribution. The seven-staged tour de force serves up a full panoptic view of the spectrum in between weightlessness and infinite mass. As befits a release by two UK natives, everything springs from the low end. A project constructed laterally and from the ground up, every track here spends significant time rolling out and sculpting the low end. The gut-lurching kicks of ‘Spill Form’ play tag with ‘N’han’s fractured syncopation. From time to time the bass pressure mounts to dizzying proportions, yet never does it risk toppling a composition. On the opposite end, a lack of mass is reflected in reverb’s essence as a remnant of volume. It drifts in on the pensive opener ‘Eardrom’, permeates the record with various lengths of decay, and retreats gracefully after the frantic minimalism of ‘Halakka’. Its most poignant elements skip across the surface, rephrasing your trance with every bar. This lightweight complexity peaks on ‘Motion’, anchoring down the fleetingness of a feeling through pristine sound art. Tegha deliberately garbles and muddles most natural sample sources beyond direct meaning. It rubs your brain cells together, igniting primal and intricate cognitive processes simultaneously. It thrives both on intuition and on thorough dissection. It manages to build intrigue as its trajectory oscillates. ØLUB catch the UK hardcore continuum’s meltwater and channel it into laminar flow.
