Diskotopia are proud to present the final release of 2024 as Inner Channel's debut EP, Culture On Wind. With a unique undercurrent of submerged percussion, cerebral distortion and soundsystem-tested basslines, Inner Channel cuts a salient path from the winding intersections of no-wave, dub, and outer-world excursions. Touching on topics such as intrinsic creativity and universal connectivity, the tracks on Culture On Wind paint an otherworldly, yet tactile sonic expedition while orbiting designs of minimalist arrangements, warmth and world-building sonics.
Searing synths and mantle-shaking bass anchor the dreamlike Aerials – evoking a sudden manifestation of "architecture in the skies." Currents unravels in cascades of FM synth arpeggios, rolling bass and speaker-blown polyrhythms. The fractured whirlpool dub of Fundamentality churns and roils in an overblown void – evoking an early Killing Joke session mixed by Mad Professor.
Tension builds and multiplies on the synthetic shoegaze torch song of Rain – culminating in an awakening of an elemental transference steeped in the weight of knowing. The meditative and transcendent Continual Consciousness deconstructs what sounds like Pink Floyd dubbed by Jah Shaka while half-remembered piano and guitar licks drift in and out of tangible reality. Culture On Wind draws inspiration directly from the noosphere: mystic zither melodies, a Revolutionaries-indebted bassline and cybernetic conga coalescing before spiraling back into the aether.
