VIBRATIONS OF GRAVITY — Indirect Techniques

Vibrations of Gravity – Indirect Techniques arrives on Autosimilar Records as catalog number AUTO04, a 12-inch techno release that promises a cerebral journey through tightly programmed rhythms and abstract textures. Issued on 9 October 2026, the EP situates itself within Autosimilar’s evolving focus on forward-thinking electronic explorations. Autosimilar’s recent output has been marked by a string of compilations that precede this entry: “Bardo Thödol” (AUTO01, 2025) opened the label’s catalogue, followed by “Control Mental” (AUTO02, 2026) and the “Decoded” compilation (AUTO003, 2026). AUTO04 continues that trajectory, reinforcing the label’s commitment to experimental techno while offering a distinct, solo voice from Vibrations of Gravity. Side A opens with “Spectral Movement”, a track that immediately establishes a hypnotic pulse, its shifting tonal focus creating space for seamless mixing into deeper set moments. The follow-up, “Hearing Hiss”, sustains the momentum with a slightly more abrasive edge, its texture providing a useful contrast that can bridge the darker tones of “Spectral Movement” and the B-side material. On the flip side, “Image Visualization” introduces a more spacious atmosphere, its measured progression allowing DJs to layer melodic elements or build tension before the record’s closing cut. “Cerebral Stress” caps the EP with a tighter, driving groove that heightens the urgency, making it an effective tool for peak-time transitions or for punctuating a set’s climax. Within the limited discography currently available, Indirect Techniques stands as a focused statement from Vibrations of Gravity, aligning with Autosimilar’s penchant for forward-moving techno while carving out its own niche through a blend of introspective and kinetic moments. The record’s sequencing—from the opening spectral motif to the final stress-inducing beat—offers a concise narrative that resonates with contemporary underground trends. For DJs, the EP provides two pairs of tracks that can be mixed either back-to-back or interleaved with other techno selections. The A-side cuts work well for building a rolling, evolving groove, while the B-side offers a more spacious palette for layering and dynamic set construction. Collectors will appreciate the clear articulation of theme across the four pieces, each contributing to the overall conceptual framework. The release is presented as a 12-inch vinyl, catalogued as AUTO04 on Autosimilar Records, comprising four tracks that together explore the boundaries of techno’s rhythmic and textural possibilities.
