If there’s a label to define the augmented reality of future music it’s Hyperboloid. Co-founded somewhere in Russia by Pixelord and Dmitry Gari, the label finds itself in a class of its own pushing a neo-aesthetic of wild, extravagant and largely undocumentaed genres like breakcore, tech trance, bassline and computer synth. Add colourful shows of sound collage, experimental drum and bass, footwork and juke to retro-active techno, deconstructed IDM and other future music interpretations of leftfield, industrial and pop, Hyperboloid is a soundworld waiting to be discovered. Spearheaded by Pixelord’s own productions, Hyperboloid harbours an exciting new school of producers that includes Summer Of Haze, Cadeu, Gillepsy and whoever else you can find.
Review: A name long associated with the Hyperboloid platform thanks to releases like Back On Track (2016), Next Mutation (2013) and Bulletproof (2012), Koloah is granted his debut album in 2021 with Millennium Sun. With swathes of uplifting, ambient synth inspiring the ears in tracks like "Hope" the LP dives through more cutting drum and bass in "Urban Ninja" next to staccato synth experimentalisms in "Angles City" - some may think Roly Porter. There's also floating technicolour cut ups of twinkling trance and syncopated beats in "Android Love" alongside music fit for and anime soundtrack in "New Earth Born". An album that dives into experimental drum and bass as much as it does '90s IDM and beatless race to new future club music and dub.
Review: The Hyperbolid team love to deliver releases with a bit of a twist, which is why we were so thrilled to jump into this super experimental LP project from Cadeu, who suits up for a journey through sound like we have never heard before. The LP is a perfect showcase for taking soundscaping to a whole new level, with every track giving us an intricate, expansive look into electronic music's many elements, from the stunning synthesizer manipulation of '75' through to the percussive explosions of 'Omg'. There are some real stunners on here, with our favourites being the icy soundscapes of 'Gho', alongside 'Metal', a glorious display of rhythmic expertise. Excellent work all around.
Review: As far as we can see, the team at Hyperboloid have really unearthed a diamond of a project with this one as they welcome Raumskaya in for an extremely tasty creation, as he unveils his spectacular 'Eco' album. As a project, this is a perfect showcasing of the exploration into electronic music and just how good the weird and wonderful can be. From the emotive yet thumping designs of 'Flame Threshold' and 'Melt Me' to the stunning soundscape work of 'Int' and 'Pristine', it covers so many themes and ticks so many boxes. For us, the standouts include the bubbling rhythms and spacey textures of the title track 'Eco', alongside the haunted pulsing stabs of 'None'. It's a top quality project to say the least!
Review: Pixelord and the mysterious Sangam combine for a final fantasia of sounds in this four-track City High Fantasy EP that pulls at the heartstrings of deepest anime themes to Blade Runner atmospheres of tears in the rain. Overtly in "Process Cold" and deeply embedded in the synths and field recordings of "Opacity", these two sit between the liquid industrialisms, chemical rhythms, glitch and cosmic Detroit electro of "Weathered Eternity" and the two-stepping, bleeps and breaks of "City High Fantasy". Believe the Hyperboloid.
