Chris Moss Acid - Joker Ep

Chris Moss Acid returns to Don't for a follow up to last year's 'The Acid That Ate Bournemouth' with 4 tracks of blistering proportions. 'The Joker' is a twisted and squelchy hard nosed House/Techno hybrid that punches through a sound system, while 'Pumped Up MF' nestles coyly between Ghetto/Booty and Acid with a suggestive bassline ripping things apart. On the flip, more mayhem with 'DP Acid' which is as derranged as they come before the EP closes in magnificent style with 'Elektra', Electro's answer to Bohemian Rhapsody.

Bill Converse - The Shape Of Things To Come

Dark Entries present the sophomore album from Austin, Texas analogue hardware enthusiast Bill Converse. Immersed in the early days of the 90s midwest rave scene, Bill began DJing at a young age in Lansing, Michigan. Luminaries such as Claude Young, Traxx, and Derrick May were key early influences. Techno, noise, ambient and tape processing are all part of his uncanny sound palette. His debut album 'Meditations/Industry' was released on cassette in 2013 and edited for a vinyl release in January 2016 followed by two 12' singles 'Warehouse Invocation' and '7 of 9' the same year.

'The Shape Of Things To Come' is a 70 minute journey spread across two pieces of vinyl. It's comprised of seven tracks recorded directly to tape with no overdubs, made at Converse's home studio. At the time of recording, Bill was sending this material to Josh Vance (Josua Dorje Ngodup) for feedback. Most of the time Josh would respond in the form of artwork, and then Bill would create another track inspired by this feedback chain. Converse has dedicated this series of tracks to him. The songs on this album reveal a sublime influence from Detroit techno, early Chicago house, and Acid. For this album Converse slightly bumped up the tempos geared for dancefloor energy. Built around vintage synthesizer lines and gritty drum machine percussion, the tracks evoke how things have changed and how they have come to be.'

All songs were mastered for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. Each LP is housed in a gatefold jacket with a painted photograph portrait by Dietmar Busse and layout design by Eloise Leigh. The gatefold conceals an otherworldly collage made by Josua Dorje Ngodup. Each copy includes a postcard featuring artwork from Bill's sister with notes.

Global Communication - Back In The Box Sampler 04

Sampler #4 from the Global Communication 'Back In The Box' compilation album, the techno and ambient retrospective selected by Tom Middleton and Mark Pritchard, back together again after a 15 year hiatus. This album has racked up an incredible amount of support and 5 star reviews across the board, and claiming 'Compilation of The Month' honours in DJ Magazine and iDJ Magazine


Opening up this seriously hot four track EP is a staple track in the Detroit techno history. Carl Craig's BFC project released 'Galaxy' in 1990, and has lost none of it's futuristic charm since. Dark, mysterious and so deep, you could drown in it!

Track two comes from the mighty Dutch label, Djax-Up Beats, and is a captivating and beautiful piece of Norwegian techno from Ismistik, coming over like a love scene from a future sci-fi movie.

On the flip, more retrospective action from Carl Craig's Planet E label, this time from Sherard Ingram's Urban Tribe project. One of the most interesting tracks to come out of Detroit, 'Covert Action' is a powerful and evocative piece of electronica.

Closing the sampler is Jay Denham's short, sharp shock of tension-stroking techno, only 4 minutes in length but a brooding dark composition that featured on legendary Fade II Black releases on Derrick May's Fragile label and licensed to the UK's techno home, Network Records in 1990

Argot
19.06.2017

It is our distinct honor and pleasure to welcome Todd Osborn to the Argot family with his stunning new single, Elastic 68. This double A sider came together over the last three years thanks to regular communication between the Michigan-based savant and label founder Steve Mizek. Its two tracks exemplify Argot's musical direction and check a major item off the label's bucket list of releasing a record by Todd. With nearly mythical finesse, the title track finds Osborn presides over a marriage of sassy, gleaming motifs and invigorating acid lines. Its assertive bass line grabs dancers by the scruff before the unleashing a torrent of churning acid riffs that could stir even the most jaded chin-scratcher. 'Authorized Dealer' is tougher and even more acid-forward, stomping and squelching as it drags the dancefloor into the dungeon for beating it won't soon forget. Vital Sales Points: - Supported by Kornel Kovacs, Midland, XXXY - Releases on Running Back, Ghostly/Spectral Sound,

The original Klakson funkateers Steffi and Dexter return to true form with three punchy techno/electro cuts! "Zatlap" on the A Side is a lush nighttime driving track with an urgent bassline powering all through the song while spaced out strings develop. The B-side's "Kopstoot" is a pure funk workout in the Detroit tradition while "De Fles" builds a stack of airy pads on top of a playful question and answer bass riff to maximum effectiveness!!!

Lucindo returns for his 2nd release on 3TH Records which he runs with Ascion and D. Carbone.
Alien Rebellion enters with atmospheric textures and strings rising from the abyss into a new world of deep tension and emotion. Once the dust has settled, we enter full out attack with industrial rhythms, ruffled percussion and acidic lazer beams. The journey continues along paths unknown, dark underlying elements of the alien attack is upon us, Insanity and anxiety enter the inner dimensions of the mind. The chase is on and battle commences as we feel the power and the energy of the sonic weaponry. As we make it through the other side we feel cosmic clouds of waveforms encapsulate us, as we make our homeward journey

Helsinki based label 'Friendship & Decadence' was setup to tap in to the Helsinki electronic music scene and highlight those young and talented producers who inhabit the city.
The first release comes via the collective known as 'Joint Minds', comprising of three artists Autoexec, Poly Sone & Miss Kade.
The 2 tracks are both live jams recorded using a host of outboard and analogue equipment. "Commotion" fills the a-side of the vinyl with a throbbing acid bassline and pulsating industrial stabs, whilst the flip side takes a more stripped back approach. With "Headstuck", a delayed piano floats around rolling drum pattern, UK techno influences aplenty.

Varg - Star Alliance - 2x12"

After "Star Alliance"'s initial release as a limited six tape-box set late last year, it was apparent that there was a need for a reissue, which now comes in the form of this remastered double LP set with a selection of the best work and even a few new tracks added. The story is the same but the narrative has been sharpened. Over the last few years, Varg has manifested himself, not only as one of the most productive new voices in European electronic and techno music - with countless releases and projects - but also as one of the most interesting of the lot. Completely free from any concern of genre notions towards his music, he moves freely between fields and does this in such a fluent way that it is hard to think of anyone that can match him. With the music that makes up "Star Alliance", it is clearer than ever before that Varg - while being an extremely talented techno producer, at the same time is much more than that. "Star Alliance" has tracks of spacious acid standing next to heavy industrial rhythms, piercing abstract modular synth work, beautiful soundscapes, piano pieces and field recordings. And while the techniques, qualities and styles differ with almost every track, they stand perfectly together and shape a beautiful narrative. Thematically "Star Alliance" deals with movement. The heavy melancholia that is present throughout the entire release, reminds us that when traveling to any destination, we will have to leave somewhere else behind. "Star Alliance" that takes its name from a point system between airline companies has a sort of sad restlessness about it. Wherever we are traveling to, it is clear that we won't be there for long, the people are faceless and the cities nameless, The airports, night clubs and company blur, but Hilton always looks like Hilton and Ecstasy is called Ecstasy everywhere.

Mark Forshaw / Chris Moss Acid - Computer Controlled

Computer Controlled Records is a new vinyl only label from Belfast, Northern Ireland encompassing the raw analogue sounds of Chicago & Detroit style techno, house and electro keeping a DIY ethos with screen printed sleeves.

The first release comes from Mark Forshaw who has previously released on Tabernacle, Mathematics, III Rivers and Apartment and is one third of Phantom Planet Outlaws alongside Binny & John Heckle. This ep delivers 4 tracks of raw analouge acid and Detroit techno funk.
---
Belfast born imprint Computer Controlled Records follow up on their acid rich debut Explorer EP from Mark Forshaw with a five tracker from Chris Moss Acid on a release that also features a jacking collaboration with Breakin' Records owner and all time don DMX Krew. It marks the third in a run of original EP's from Chris Moss Acid who's been enjoying something of a renaissance in his productivity, releasing with a host of top grade labels from to Jerome Hill's revered and uncompromising techno imprint Don't and Dutch electronic hub Shipwrec.

Here he delivers his five track Righteous Beats EP which is set off on the A side by Spatial Dimensions where discordant synths and bell powered melodies are ignited by driving percussion atop a pulsating bass line. Second track The Shamen rolls off driving drum fills and 303 acid lines illuminate the track as Moss Acid takes things up into peak time techno sphere until the A side is summated with his collaboration with DMX Krew, Where Is Your Jack, in a rawer toned track, featuring a jittering bassline and off kilter drum patterns which rove between distorted acid lines.

The B side carries two dense and dark techno numbers to complete the acid romp; title track Righteous Acid Beat is marched along by yet another driving bass line as a pistol shots of noisy high hats punctuate the track. Ominous chants of 'We're gonna get you' lead us into final track Getchu where dark tension rides a brooding and dense techno horror story.g

Isnisnt
23.06.2015

Jesse Siminski otherwise known by his DJ name Heartthrob and as label boss of imprint ISNISNT, returns with a fierce 4 track EP (5 tracks Digital) of jacking modern acid funk. Heartthrob has been producing for over a decade and his innate ability to create cutting edge and propulsive techno grooves has kept him busy with a touring schedule that takes him across the globe, as well as a new party series named after the label. His third release titled 'Haus Arrest' begins with the track 'Never Wanted One.' This track builds upon a solid manifold of thick arp bass, dusky synth melodies and sharp TR 909 drum work. Midway, a complex and funky bass line propels things forward, working with the jacking drums and spare synths. The release continues with 'Hours Lost.' This track fuses codes of Detroit techno with spinning Latin tinged drums and a rough funk tinged arrangement. Industrial stabs bounce and build until the main melodic theme rises and burns. 'A Fete Worse Than Death' moves through swinging drums, steady pulsing synths and a growling bass that builds to a crescendo of warped cosmic techno. The last track on the Vinyl 'Does Your Car Know' is a straight and steady drum led jack track. The pitch mutates, shifting through acid bass and more Detroit reminiscent pads. Finally, a bonus for those buying digital is a stripped down version of 'Does Your Car Know' which cements the infectious impact of the EP.

Heard Island
08.05.2017

From the same people in charge of Shabu Recordings (releasing the likes of Avus, Norwell, Vaghe Stelle, Sigward and many more), we are introducing Heard Island. Inspired by the unique and inhabitable nature of the eponymous island, Heard Island creates a dichotomy with previously released material, focussing on more Techno, Ambient and abrasive sonorities.

*As sometimes it is the case, birth might also bring the end of something else. For its first release, Heard Island introduces the last release of Canadian Jesse Somfay under his Borealis persona. To complete his legacy with his Voidness and Glittervoice albums released on Origami Sound, Vivipary consists of throbbing Techno pieces while keeping the same techniques and textures from Borealis' previous work. Heartshell comes out as a perfect sum of Borealis work, joining lush vaporous string pads to pulsating and harsh percussions, somehow bringing it close to an abstract idea of early 90's Trance, while Wild Blue Rose puts out an ominous voice and psychelic percussion, making it reminiscent of older cuts of Tribal Techno. Remix-wise, Mondkopf takes the more abrasive aspects of Wild Blue Rose and adds power chords and relentless melody, turning it into a more industrial cut of the original. Heard island's head Axel Helios made two different remixes of Hearshell. The first one, exclusive to the 12' of the release, takes the melodies of the original and turns it into an Acid Break jam. . This conclusion to the Borealis alter ego creates the foundations on which Heard Island will build.

We then have a u turn with splash, more of a new age type track but still with that unmistakable Brassica touch. On the flip Nothing to say is an unsettled beast with horror vibes and things are rounded off with title track Blue Function, a more laid back shroom opus.
