Vinyl only. Inner Balance welcomes French duo Arcarsenal, whose super-refined analog improvisations have found premium company on labels like Finest Hour, Underground Quality and their own Bass Cadet Records. Meditative, cyclical, distilled grooves with a fierce low-end are the order of the day, placing this EP squarely in the nearly 25 year-old lineage drawn from Maurizio through Bluetrain and Thor and in to the bags of the Verveines and Cloutiers of today. Whether it’s the reverb-laden soundscapes of the A-side or the loopy mind-traps on the flip, these four tracks will animate and intrigue in equal measure.

Finale Sessions is really pleased to launch new series Finale Sessions Limited with Berlin up and coming act Arcarsenal. Duo comprised of Alan Mathias and Etienne Dauta, both founders of Bass Cadet Records and its dedicated vinyl store located in the heart of the german capital, they are also active members of the large Underground Quality family. Arcarsenal have already started to establish themselves as proponent of a crossover sound, mixing many influences from jazz, house, ambient to dub and techno. They are always giving a prominence to jam, improvisation and textures work in their studio routine. This EP called « Dark Skies & Wetlands », even if slightly grittier than usual, is no stranger to the rules of the duo. The opening track « Different Planet » is an epic dark deep house cut which develops itself over a course of 8:40. Starting with a stamping ground bassline and hazy atmosphere, the track opens up with synth attacks, dub echoes and slowly brings in a blissful melody that ends up linking all the elements. « Substance Of Arjuna », the following track on the A-side, is a-contrario a short but intense ambient work. Shot in one take, this subtle cut showcases the kind experimentations that Mathias and Dauta can end up doing late at night in front of their machines. The b-side of the EP leaves all the space to « Racoons », one of the weirdest and yet most powerful work of the duo to date. Tribal techno could be a short try to define what they achieved here, but the track goes far more than this. Built on a gritty mental acidic bass and a huge drum kick, the frenchmen bring over aggressive synth work that could sound like an orchestra on rehearsal, pachydermic screams or an overdriven guitar larsen. Underlined by a complex percussion pattern recorded live in their nest and chopped up to the best effect, the track ends up in a looping transe from which the listener might not leave in a normal state.

Having lead us into the depths of his and Opium's trippy minds on "Somewhere In My Head," David K now residing in Berlin, returns to his native land to team up once more with best friend, label boss and the man behind "100", Varoslav, on what is set to be the fledgling imprint's fourth release to date. Coming off the back of the warm and inviting tones of Nico Lah's "Never Ending Space", Varoslav and David decide to take the label deeper into the club, further into the darkness, where the temperature rises and the walls perspire. Lit by a single strobe and rolling with the subs, the boys deliver their crazy vocal and twist our minds with their Juno 106 acid lead line. "We wanted something simple, ruff and alive." says Varoslav. We've certainly got that!The smooth tones of UK producer and Poker Flat artist James What lead us back toward the light as his remix grooves along on a wave of heated bass and atmospheric strings and synths. Teasing us with its flashes of steel, it’s another great mix to lose yourself in. French producer Seuil closes the show with a rework that brings together the feelings and vibe of the previous mixes, whilst creating a beautifully impressive and fresh cinematic piece.
