Dômesicle — Making Time • Claire Rousay • Priori • Dave P

claire rousay is based in San Antonio, Texas. Her music zeroes in on personal emotions and the minutiae of everyday life -- voicemails, haptics, environmental recordings, stopwatches, whispers and conversations -- exploding their significance.

Under the Priori moniker, Québecois musician Francis Latreille has established himself as a crucial voice in underground techno. His 2019 full-length debut On A Nimbus, released on his own NAFF imprint, was a haunting foray into the possibility/impossibility of technological utopia, where elements of dub techno, drum & bass. IDM and tech house curiously converged, resulting in an album at once familiar, modern and undeniably singular. Francis followed that with a string of essential releases – from the slow-burning techy meditations of SCN and Little Flower to the anthemic, trance-inflected Infinity – ending with 2021’s Your Own Power. Where On A Nimbus is overtly pensive and opaque, Your Own Power rises to a lighter and more joyful atmosphere, full of fractalizing patterns, ear-prickling textures, and crystalline melodies that emerge and flicker in stunning detail. Here, as in all of Priori’s music, there remains an unresolved tension of opposites; between the biological and the synthetic, the actual and the possible, the positive and the negatively charged. In this way, this body work stands as a study of nature of a kind, a science of life in its myriad forms.

Priori is also an accomplished mixing engineer; a quick search will reveal an exhaustive list of credits on projects by Roza Terenzi, D. Tiffany, Escape Artist, Bambii, Gene Tellem, Maara and ex terrestrial, to name a few. Between the label he runs with Adam Feingold (ex terrestrial) and the studio he runs with Patrick Holland, Francis is quietly shaping the course of underground electronic dance music in Canada and abroad.

Dave P. has dedicated his life to the restless quest to achieve futuristic musical TRANSCENDENCE at his legendary Making Time parties in Philadelphia, his FIXED parties along with JDH in New York and in his Making Time RADio programmes. This Philadelphia selector, DJ and TRANSCENDENTAL futuristic musical warrior of the nite make a great effort to thoroughly explore all electronic music; to turn these sounds into inclusive music that everybody understands together with the theory. In practice, during any of these sessions, your feet, your pulse, your body, your mind and your entire being perfectly appreciate that house, techno and electronica is music conceived and created to enjoy and at that point, Dave P’s vision of futuristic musical TRANSCENDENCE is achieved. This is Dave P’s TRANSCENDENTAL PLAN
