about

FRENCH
Si la musique de NONE SOUNDS trouve une partie de ses racines dans la transe des steppes d’Asie Centrale, elle synthétise également le monde musical d'aujourd'hui et peut-être même celui de demain. Sa dynamique renoue les fils de la techno mystique des 90s à grand renfort de boucles acides et de beats ralentis sur fond de paysages de steppes désertiques. C’est un vertige autant qu’un trip. Moderne et ancestral à la fois. Frères de son, Aishan et Erpan sont tous deux originaires d’un Xinjiang qu’ils ont dû fuir afin de pouvoir laisser s’exprimer leur explosive créativité.

Il était dit que le jour où leurs routes allaient se croiser, à Shanghaï, pas mal de choses convergeraient. Tant qu’à s’inventer une nouvelle
identité par la musique électronique coupée au psychédélisme, autant y injecter la vibration si particulière de leur terre d’origine, ce qu’elle porte de mystique et de tragique. Ou comme le résume d’une manière plus pragmatique Aishan : ‘On s’appelle NONE SOUNDS parce que les gens ne connaissent rien des Ouïghours. Mais putain les gars, on existe depuis 5000 ans !’.
L’histoire nomade du peuple Ouïghour peut-elle trouver un ambassadeur à travers NONE SOUNDS ? Si cette musique et cette histoire servent de force de guérison, le monde d’après sera vertigineux.
Extrait de la bio par JEAN-VIC CHAPUS

ENGLISH
Brotherly duo None Sounds bring a uniquely dynamic sound to Airfono Records with their fantastic four-track Tarim EP.
Spanish-based pair None Sounds are ethnic Uyghurs, a Turkic ethnic group native to Xinjiang, China. The duo mix up a wide spectrum of futuristic sounds and simple grooves, melding analog and modular sound systems with live instruments and modern electronic production techniques to make for profoundly deep tracks with a multidimensional sound. They have self-released much of their own music since 2015 but now land on Julien Princiaux's eclectic Airfono label.
Opener 'Solid Water' is a complex and captivating electronic house offering with tightly woven rhythms, liquid synths and watery effects. It's high-pressure, mind-melting music from another dimension. The fantastic 'Star Seed' is another fulsome production with rubbery bass, scurrying synths and sonic pulses all layered up to perfection. The fast-paced track has a sense of urgency and cosmic atmosphere that never lets up. On 'Kashgar', the pair show another side with slow and spacious drums, mysterious pads and distant muffled voices all finished off with intoxicating eastern melodies. This most original of EPs ends with the pulsing deep techno of 'Mad'. It's quick, slick, and packed with cinematic designs.
These are four inventive and accomplished tracks of synth-laden electronic magic.
