Poverty is violence return with a killer 5 track V/A EP... Introducing some new signings to PIV (KSP, Credit 00 and Persian) alongside co-owner Charlton and PIV staple XXX, this EP features Poverty music from across the board and doesn't disappoint.

A1. One of the new additions to the PIV stable is heavy hitter KSP of the legendary Raiden project and Kamikaze Space Program... Here he drops a killer club track that twists the techno template, injecting it with the sentiments of D'n'B... This is already getting heavy club play from all and sundry.

A2. XXX returns to Poverty with his trademark sound. Heavy as can be but coupled with a subtlety only he can explain. Hard beats and acid bleeps emphasise the groove with a slightly more funked up swing than his previous work, guaranteeing heavy pressure as XXX delivers once more...

A3. Poverty co owner Charlton chips in with a hard acid mini track that develops to a tight locked groove. One for the heads and coming on like a hybrid of late 80's acid house and 90's techno, this is a floor filling distortion of the templates.

B1. Credit 00 is another new signing and serves up a dope tribalistic 808 drum track with haunting delayed vocals. Reminiscent of a lost disco 12' dub track, this is a stripped back house groove for the more discerning dance floor.

B2. Closing the EP is the killer Persian track Don't 'Deal Wid Violence'. A pioneer of the hardcore/jungle scene starting out in '91 alongside Bizzy B, Deluxe, Trace and Zinc, Persian went on to help define the UKG scene with Same People's 'Dangerous'. With forthcoming appearances on Dekmantel and Fabric mixes he is a most welcome addition to the roster. His track here is pure original OG UK hardcore, authentic as it could be, no one sounds like this anymore.

Limited to 300 copies and lovingly mastered with an all analogue signal straight to vinyl at The Exchange in the UK.

After two successful albums and one EP on Captured Tacks and touring extensively the US, Canada, Mexico and Europe, Soft Metals offers a remix abum from their last full length "Lenses".

After the last release in november 2009, Resoe has decided to relaunch Baum again. In the last couple of years Resoe has been really busy, and did not have the time to take care of the label. He has released his debut album and 12"s on Echocord, Echocord Colour, Pattern Repeat and Curle recordings since the last release in 2009. Resoe has decided that 2012 should be the year to spend time on his label again, and to do that he decided to use some of the old artwork, and redesign the design concept of the label. The future music profile of Baum will still be Deep Dub Techno, but there could come some releases that would fit under another genre. The most important thing is that the music is high quality.Supported by Don Williams, Darko Esser, Marko Fürstenberg, Luke Hess, Kenneth Christiansen, Tom Dicicco and more

Brassica's turn for Vivod in 2017 see's him on top form following his release on feel my bicep late last year. His Blue Function ep is a mixed affair with opener Coco Diaz starting procedeengs as a weirdo acid burner. 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. Quality material as per usual from Kents number one viking megalad. Don't sleep

Marko De Gregorio & Tommy Paone aka Neverdogs are an Italian duo on the rise, over the past five years the pair have released material via the likes of Tenax Recordings and Oblack and this year has seen them hold a residency at Music On (Ibiza) held at the infamous Amnesia night club on the island. Here the duo return with some new original material for Decay Records, a blossoming British imprint home to music from the likes of Ed Davenport, Jay Tripwire and DJ W!ld, following their 'Hall 9000' release.

Title track 'This Is Not The End' opens the EP and sees Neverdogs deliver an eerie, hypnotic number with dubbed out synth flourishes, sparse rhythms and gradually blooming, ghostly vocal stylings. Morris Audio's Julien Sandre steps up to remix 'This Is Not the End' next and in typical fashion from the French producer he reshapes the original number into a groove-led house workout with crunchy drums, an unfaltering bass groove and sporadic glitched out synth licks.

On the flip side Neverdogs are back with 'September Time' taking things deeper with bright bell chimes, meandering bass notes, bright stab sequences and bubbling atmospherics, Canada's Nathan Barato then steps in round off the package with his take on 'September Time', delivering a more direct, loop driven interpretation on things.

German duo Silky Raven, aka Jakob Seidensticker & Henrik Raabe (a.k.a WAREIKA), drop their latest effort 'Seychelles to Rave' on vinyl for Beirut based label Fantôme de Nuit.

Silky Raven go straight into it with the sweltering A-side Seychelles to Rave'. Complete with tropical stabs and percussion, a kick drum pushes the track forward as it builds and expands. By the time it all drops out for the tunes compelling bassline it's too late, you're hooked.

On the first track of the flipside, Jupiter to Jupiter', the duo takes a more disco-tinged approached. True to the tracks name this spacey effort, makes use of retro sounding keys and flashes of acid to induce memories of another dimensions.

Billions', the EPs final and darkest track, is a deep slow burner. The perfect end for a rave in Seychelles. A brooding bass line drags along as some clever percussion keeps the listener light on their feet. This is a track for the latest of hours and is sure to revamp the floor.

Third chapter of the superb project run by Sciahri (Opal Tapes / Ilian Tape) and Emanuele Porcinai (on Contort as WSR)
Limited copies only

Third chapter of the project run by Sciahri (Opal Tapes / Ilian Tape) and Emanuele Porcinai (on Contort as WSR). UNKNOT03 features explorations of dense and warped rhythmical textures ('Strain', 'Vapor'), combined with fast-paced and propulsive pieces ('Lockt', 'Corrosion'). The sound palette remains consistent with the previous releases, where raw synthetic sequences are deployed to shape grooves and melodic lines and to ultimately create alienating artificial soundscapes.

Extraterrestrial Research is the first vinyl release of Canadian label, Deep Sea Mining Syndicate. A multinational effort that brings the Greek artist Cirkle to the spotlight with 5 narrative sci-fi techno tracks. "Kachira's Cave" and "Underwater research" stand out as a classy peak time driving techno, while track "Landing" shows Cirkle s soundscaping abilities in an otherworldly dirge into the abyss. This is a limited 200 run with the finest mastering from Matt Colton at Alchemy. Supported by Sigha and Exium

GAS remains Kompakt co-owner Wolfgang Voigt's most acclaimed and influential guise in his illustrious music career. Established as a series for his ambient works influenced by his experiences in Germany's Königsforst, he originally released through legendary electronic music imprint Mille Plateaux.
These albums have achieved near mythical status influencing countless musicians including TIm Hecker, Soulseekers, The Field to name a few. GAS has been hailed as "a wondrous high point in the history of electronic music" (Pitchfork) and "some of the most influential albums of the 90s" (The Guardian).
KOMPAKT now prepare to offer our most ambitious and comprehensive release in our history. Long out of print, the four core releases of GAS, ZAUBERBERG, KÖNIGSFORST, OKTEMBER and POP are finally released the way Wolfgang originally intended them to be - original masters uncut and packaged in their original design - a highly collectible, limited edition box set including an art book commemorating the series featuring Wolfgang Voigt's work.

GAS BOX - a long awaited document detailing a period of electronic music that has been lost but not forgotten.

Wolfgang Voigt is a man of many means and monickers, having engendered a unique take on electronic expressionism across multiple media - from riotous early 90s acid to cyber-folkloristic techno or the abstract drama of his current Ru¨ckverzauberung project, a pioneering vision to be found on vinyl, canvas or flickering screens. Ranking among of the most dense, hypnotic, atmospheric recordings in his oeuvre, the GAS releases have since become internationally recognized classics with a cult following, hailed as "a wondrous high point in the history of electronic music" (Pitchfork) and "some of the most influential albums of the 90s" (The Guardian). From foggy dub techno to anthemic electronica and loop-based ambient techno, the list of acts, tracks and even genres influenced by the full-lengths and EPs crafted under the GAS umbrella between 1995 and 2000 seems endless, giving these long sold-out original releases even more of a near-mythical quality. Following the much-acclaimed (and out-of-print) retrospective NAH UND FERN from 2008, Kompakt has decided that it's high time for a reissue that features the core GAS albums originally released by the legendary Mille Plateaux imprint in the 90s - the records that introduced the project's trademark sound between Scho¨nberg and Kraftwerk, Wagner and the bassdrum, 'an endless march through the underwoods of an imaginary, misty forest and into the disco.' Inside this comprehensive anthology, listeners will experience ZAUBERBERG (celebrating the 20th anniversary of this essential album), KO¨NIGSFORST, POP and the sought-after OKTEMBER 12", all together available as luxurious 10LP+4CD edition. GAS BOX is the most comprehensive version of these releases ever: the vinyl features edits that were previously unavailable on wax - with each album being presented as 3LP pressing (instead of the original 2LP pressings), for extended playtime and superior sound quality, finally released the way this music was intended to to be heard. This highly collectible box set comes with an art-print book featuring newly processed and previously unreleased photography from the Ko¨nigsforst woods around Cologne, in the style of the legendary, trail-blazing GAS artwork. GAS BOX is to be considered as the definitive take on a unique sound cosmos and an extraordinary period of music. An essential outing for every serious fan of electronic music.

Long-expected, the mysterious italian producer 2030 is back on CLFT after his first and remarkable cassette album. Here - with these four tracks - comes another deep and refreshing breath, still full of these unique retro-futur-rhythms... 500 copies only, no repress. Grab it, or you will regret it!

LIMITED SUPPLY!

Billy Nasty's Electrix Records launches its 2016 schedule by welcoming back the always impressive, Carl Finlow.

Carl is one of dance music's leading lights and a multi-talented producer across a range of genres, with releases stretching back to the early 90s. Well known for the 2020 Vision label he launched with Ralph Lawson, his solo work however has often taken an Electro route with releases under various guises like Random Factor, Black Labs, Voice Stealer, Silicon Scally and Scarletron (with Daz Quayle) on labels including Warp, Fuel, Playhouse, Paper, Trope, Sony, Klang, Arista, Soma, SCSI, Pagan, Minifunk, Seventh Sign and Satamile.

It's been almost 3 years since Carl appeared on Electrix. His 'Boot Loop EP' became the label's second release after its re-launch in 2013. But it's definitely been worth the wait. His 'Electricology 4 EP' once again shows why he's a master of the genre.

From the tough and funked-up 'Lateral Thoughts', speckled and melodic 'Hyperloop', squelching, bassy 'Suspect Reanimation' and sinister, beat-driven 'Latext', right through to the playful 'Atomic Level' (a bonus track for the digital release), the EP shines, with a stamp of high quality running though its core.

This EP is basically what was to be SUBHEAD 020. The tracks included are the parts we had agreed on for the EP but were unfortunately never completed. It is therefore an unfinished EP frozen in time by Phils untimely death. After much deliberation and enough time passing I decided to release them on our good friend Antonio's label. Although incomplete, it seemed a waste to leave them rotting on a computers hard drive whilst they could still be enjoyed as they are. They do lack the extra day or two we would have worked on them together, lengthening, mixing, shortening, editing, chopping and basically rucking up SUBHEAD style. This was a process we both enjoyed intensely, was key to our sound and is one of the things I miss most. I do however hope that each track is justified as the essence or spark that inspired us to include them is still there within them.

Music is magic. It transcends time and offers an escape from our versions of reality. The same can be said about Phil. He lives on vividly through his sound and has a strong, continued influence on mine.
