Eko : Resonance 01

This is the first transmission in a monthly series of mixes exploring the outer edges of electronic sound: experimental electronics, IDM, glitch, extreme computer music, illbient, dub and algorithmic rhythms. These sessions operate as both archive and exploration. A space where fractured futures, residual pasts and emergent machines briefly cohere.The music traces the contours of the sounds I’m drawn to: abstract rhythms, electroacoustic atmospheres, and unstable beats that hover between propulsion and collapse. There is a constant push and pull at work — density against absence, precision against erosion—producing sharp contrasts in time, space, perception and affect. Influenced by the idea that sound can excite, haunt, unsettle and reconfigure how we experience the present, these mixes lean into dissonance, drift and the strange emotional charge carried by synthetic and atmospheric texture.The Resonance mixes are less about genre fidelity; they foreground sound as environment, as pressure, as residue—where echoes of rave futurism, dub decay and digital excess bleed into one another. In this sense, the music resists closure: it loops, stutters, mutates, and occasionally slips out of focus, revealing moments of fragile beauty and latent unease.I’ll be releasing new music as Eko later in the year, on one of my favourite experimental labels. Until then, I will be using these mixes as a way of communicating. Thanks for listening to this first session. I’ll return next month with part two.E K O : R E S O N A N C E 0 1 MILIAN MORI - SPACING OUTBEEMASK - PINK DRINQCHERRYSTONES / DEMDIKE STARE - PROPHET IN VIEWRUSSELL HASWELL - HEAVY HANDED SUNSET (AUTECHRE FORM CONVERSION)HEX - OPEN SOURCENNIRROR - SIMILARITYNO STENCIL - SIEGERELICX - HRIð 2SEKTION - KOPPLUNG 2SCOTT GORDON - TILTS IIITSRONO - IMNSICKINDOHM - UNFOLLOWED SILENCEHUMA - SHIFT BETWIXTKLAHRK - NAUSEAILA MOIRE - SOUNDWAVES FOR SOUNDSYSTEMSWEȽ∝KER - RAZZINATHAN HO - EXTERIOR ALGEBRA & HEROINMTCH - NHJBJKINDOHM - FERON 5LIPMOXUS - 2(PERC)HEXALYNE - XETERCYLECCSENLIME68K - DRUMMING OUT OF BODY FIREHOLY SIMILAUN - OUTROKAGAMI SMILE - UPDJ STINGRAY 313 - SENSOR DATADEL KUVVETI - FLESHIN FLUXAGF - ABUNDANTIAQANCEL - LOST LOCKEDIGUANA - TACAUNEARTH - FAULTY CLIENTNORTH MANC BEDS - AWARM1RIAN TREANOR WITH ROTHERAM SIGHT N SOUND - ACTION 4 - ONEMICA LEVI & OLIVER COATES - DRAGON IN THE MISTTYLER SOUTH - CLICIWCHLIGOVSKOI - AURES (PEDER MANNERFELT POWER MIX)RIAN TREANOR - BRANCHING 2CONRAD SCHNITZLER & FRANK BRETSCHNEIDER - PHASENSCHIEBERDEMDIKE STARE & KRISTEN PILON - TWIST Get full access to EKO's Substack at ekooooo.substack.com/subscribe
