Rolando Simmons - a revered name in certain acidic circles - joins Utter for the 'Human Remains' EP, a wildly inventive 8-track adventure that deftly dabbles in rave, IDM, Techno and beyond in classic RS style. The project is the creative brainchild of Mattias Östling, who has been on a prolific production streak since the late 2000s, firstly under the name Trackermatte before settling into work under his current moniker.

This particular release is a missing puzzle-piece of sorts, compiled and sequenced by Utter's Alex Egan from a self-released digital collection titled 'Human Touch' which initially surfaced on Bandcamp during the producer's golden 2016 'Walk On Strawberries' and 'World Building' era.

'Human Touch' was a curious selection of unmastered oddities - the first Östling made using audio signal processing environment Cecilia5 - which remained largely overlooked due to its digital limbo. The tracklist itself shifted, with bonus tracks appearing then disappearing. While the excellent Dutch label 030303 cherry-picked the original version of the title track for a 2019 2xLP of the same name, the rest of the material remained frustratingly unavailable on vinyl and elsewhere, including the elusive bonus track which prompted Egan to reach out to Östling in the first place, the stunning 'sq1_mc4_iloveu03a_149unedit'.

That track is firmly at the core of this new EP, under its new title 'Nueva Traditional', as well as the alternative CV Beszállás edit of 'Human Touch'. They are surrounded by every other un-pilfered gem that originally appeared alongside them - however briefly - with all material freshly mastered and cut by Anne Taegert at D&M. The artwork and large fold-out poster (included with the 12") were designed by the Timpani Mystique Agency.

No stone left unturned!

Dang this is some funky, squiggly stuff. My favourite I've heard from him so far.

[Hail Sagan]

[chim]

Stoked to hear more from this wizard!

[cern]

But this tracks has already been heard already 

It's on Human Touch (2019) I Don't understand.. 
Well I know it sounds little bit harsh but I don't understand why he sometimes puts the same tracks in different albums hmm.. 

Anyway it's about time to have a Trackermatte sub forum. He is way better than Clark

Thanks for posting, psn!

This is basically the vinyl version of the Human Touch EP from my bandcamp page, but with a new running order that includes previous bonus tracks, and with new graphics/design by Timpani etc.

I had to make the original EP private in order to dock with the Utter label bandcamp, which took the EP off your collection if you bought it. 
I will be sending out download codes to the affected e-mail addresses. PM me if you are affected in any way.

…and don’t forget there are two completely different albums called Human Touch. 
In this case the simplest way to view it is Human Remains replaces Human Touch, I guess.

I don’t have much of a plan regarding where old tracks end up. I like getting old ones onto vinyl, and nowadays I like working on new ones for specific albums, thinking about and changing them for a very long time so that when the album comes out, it’s like inviting people to a nice solo art show.

Thanks a lot to you silentvision, and anyone who posts my releases in Upcoming. They help my sales in a real tangible way.
