Various - The Bricks 009

For the next instalment of The Bricks, Anna Wall has curated a second VA that brings together artist from all corners of the globe.

The A-side is by Santiago Uribe; he’s been living in Montevideo for fourteen years and is an integral part of the ever growing scene in Uruguay. Uribe made ‘Electro Metalero’ as a nod to industrial music, the resounding chords were created on the Nord Lead 2 alongside powerful drums and his own pitched down vocals.

LVCA aka Luca Cazal was born in Milan and currently resides in Barcelona. He created ‘Lethe’ - meaning the river of oblivion in Greek mythology - as a live hardware jam with his trusted analogue machines 707, 303, 101, Juno 60 and Eventide H3000 for the finesse. The track is an emotive and musical journey expressed through the voices of machines.

Growing up in Cherkasy, central Ukraine, Radiant Futur has lived in Kyiv for the last six years.

The ‘Third Operator’ track is a story about the interaction of two objects and a third force affecting them. “This unknown is simultaneously mystical, magical, and incomprehensible but just as inseparable as time from space. This is a story about a dualistic concept of a fantastic world of people and machines, which surprisingly has a third element - the environment where everything happens.” explains Ian Yeromenko aka Radiant Futur.

The Young Adults duo are from The Hague and have been cultivating their sound since 2020. ‘Transfusion (200 μg/L)’ was created with the Orbit 9090 and various other gear including the Korg ESX and the Digitone. They wanted to strike a balance between trance music and genuine emotion, all grounded by a timeless groove. “The goal of the track is to draw you into an introspective, emotional trance” explains Jeff and Timo of Young Adults.
