Sardonic Tonality Vol. 2

Haven
17.04.2020

Haven's fourth release in their white label series continues its focus on dance-floor-ready madness with the label's second VA compilation on "Sardonic Tonality Vol. 2", this time with four newcomers to the burgeoning imprint.

The A1 launches the release with "Step Out" from mysterious duo "Taken Name". With razor-sharp sound design, bass-heavy synth work, and sinister atmospheres this certified banger is already proving its ability to get bodies moving. Following on the A2 is a hazy smasher from Copenhagen resident and TRTLNCK co-founder Riesenfeld, featuring epic synth lines and emotive pads while being propelled forward by its rolling drum work in a perfect example of what draws people to the sound of the Danish capital.

The B-side begins with a true weirdo slammer from Ryan James Ford. With its pounding kick, drum breaks, ominous melody and peculiar atmospherics it provides the perfect ingredients for a hectic club weapon. The release closes with a creepy, drugged-out banger from US producer Julien Andreas. Malevolent vocals, pulsing bass, crunchy drums and bizzaro sound design combine in another dance-floor-ready trip to close another potent collection from Haven.

ED1999 - Original Sin

Original Sin

Porpax
27.05.2020

Completing the trilogy of releases in collusion with graphic artist Oliver Sperl, Belgian techno producer ED1999 chooses to nish on ORIGINAL SIN EP, a 4-track dark ex- periment of audio-visual harmony, complete with blasting industrial beats and doom- metal growls.
Original Sin EP hits you from the get-go with PANDEMONIUM, a track saturated with industrial reverbs and dark echoey vocals circulating around a central, elastic bass. PANDEMONIUM achieves a distinct energy, the anger and tension injected into the mix still coming through crisp and clear.
STRAIGHT OUTTA HELL follows up with a gloomy, dissonant piece with a thudding kick line pervading through a wall of metallic drones and distorted growling. The track emanates a bleak, nocturnal timbre, giving off a feeling of unfeeling cold and isolation.
The B-side opens with EVIL DISORDER, a cosmic, atmospheric take on the EP’s di- stinctly melancholic theme. Stuttering percs grate against the cold-steel sound of clashing metal structures to create a manic, alien sound accentuated by the roaring, tubular bassline rushing around in circles like a particle in the LHC.
THE FURNACE is the nal track in the nal instalment of this trilogy and serves up a twisted nale of harmonic robotic bass interwoven with a static, tension-inducing array of synthesised madness, creating an ominous obelisk of massive and miniscule movements. The track delivers one more guttural sonic blow before retreating back
to the lonely pulsating winds on which the track began.
ORIGINAL SIN EP marks ED1999’s third audio-visual collaboration with Sperl, who handles the graphics and cover art to accompany the music. The pair worked in tight co-operation, taking great care in melding together their respective music and gra- phics into one conceptual form. The EP will be released on PORPAX Records, marking the label’s fourth entry onto the scene.

Paal is passionate about hardware - analog drum machines, synths and pedals are tracked through a mixing desk, raw and unedited. Imperfections intrinsic to this process are essential to him and give his sound a unique character - warm, organic and, at times, lo-fi and grainy. This can be heard throughout the EP. The VOI 011 also marks a shift in cover artwork as Voitax departs from the utilitarian, hand-stamped labels of the first releases - German photographer Nina Roders, has conceptualised a series of her unique photographs for the forthcoming ten-part EP series.

SOJ - Body Shaper remixes

Body Shaper remixes

12inchSOIL05
Soil Records
30.12.2019

With Body Shaper, SOJ subtly showed us the degree of diversity that can reach an album with a specific genre and the evolution, both personal and general, that can manifest an artist or a style. Technology advances, and therefore, music must also advance with expressly methodical sound treatments for each work, just as it allows the incorporation of other elements that until now had been absent. But this release in particular, what corroborates is the progress and the large number of expressions that can have the same author respecting their artistic margins.



Body Shaper is divided into 11 cuts and four of them are reborn with different reinterpretations by four heavyweights from the European industrial scene, such as Samuel Kerridge, Years of Denial, Crystal Geometry and Orphan Swords.



Golden Seals opens the A-side of the album with a version by Samuel Kerridge in which it emerges from the underworld and the depth in which the original track immerses you, giving more intensity to an anarchic rhythmic part and attenuating the feeling of anxiety caused by the low frequencies of the original cut.



Years of Denial close the A-side with a Bobtail remix that marks the style of this couple formed by Jerome Tcherneyan and Barkosina Hanusova. The disturbing harmonic motifs and the syncopated metric change to a more favourable terrain for this duo dominated by the power and energy of its imposing bass lines.

The B-side opens with a more forceful version of Kull, Feck, Due. In this occasion, Crystal Geometry transfers all the concentrated force in the lower part of the tonal field at a strong rhythm that imposes its kick with the marked bass, with a more noticeable presence of the vowels and also, with the increase in speed over the original SOJ track.



The album closes with a second cut on the B side remixed by Orphan Swords. Im Not You changes the original pumping groove for a more direct and psychotic version in which the movement is intensified with an exaggerated, but very successful sidechain that agitates the whole tangle of textures.

VII Circle - Fearless EP (LTD)

VII Circle launches his Destroy To Rebuild imprint with a ferocious techno release entitled "Fearless EP", featuring Crystal Geometry and Buried Secrets remixes. Following on from his Boiler Room debut for the HARD DANCE series, VII Circle now turns his attention towards crafting a new label entitled Destroy To Rebuild that will focus on techno, industrial, EBM and uncompromising soundscapes.

"Fearless" sets an intense scene with rigorous and killer drum programming alongside stereo-spaced synths, giving rise to an immense aural trip. "Revolt" then echoes the atmosphere from the opening track while bringing an electric tension into the mix with layered-in zappy rave-esque chords and ruthless percussion, the breakdown will set on fire the dancefloors out there.

Next, French artist and Sonic Groove producer, Crystal Geometry, reimagines "Fearless" by bedding in aggressive vocals, shuddering synth lines and searing stabs. Finally, Monnom Black and Green Fetish Records imprint artist, Buried Secrets, sends "Revolt" into otherworldly territories with pulsing keys, saturated sub-frequencies and racing hi-hats.

Scalameriya - Hellzone Megapunk EP

Repress

Scalameriya returns to Perc Trax after the success of 2016's
'Kepslok'. Since then he has continued to break new ground
both as a solo artist and via his ongoing collaboration with Italian
producer VSK, playing across Europe and releasing on a
number of key labels whilst growing his own Genesa imprint.
Now for his first release of 2018 he takes a giant leap forward
both musically and technically with the three track statement of
intent that is his 'Hellzone Megapunk EP'. Each track
demonstrates new techniques and approaches not heard in his
music before, from the 4/4 versus broken beat cage fight of the
title track to Crucible's rolling polyrhythms and the otherworldly
processed vocals of the closing track.
As the first Perc Trax release of the year this EP sets out
everything the label seeks to achieve, a combination of sonic
innovation that manages to keep attention fully focussed on the
dance floor at all times.

Ghost In The Machine - Breaking The Seal 2x12"

Perc Trax is proud to announce Breaking The Seal; the debut album from Ghost In The Machine. Having already hit hard on the label with their "One Louder" (2017) and "King Dead" (2018) EPs now the time has come for them to expand their range even further across the ten tracks that make up Breaking The Seal.

Frank Nitzinsky & Nils van Lingen began collaborating as Ghost In The Machine in 2016, first releasing on the Genosha Basic label before working with Perc Trax. As remixers they have turned in acclaimed rerubs of Paula Temple's Joshua & Goliath and Perc & Truss' Leather & Lace whilst their DJ performances began in their home country of the Netherlands but soon took them across Europe including making their Russian debut recently in Moscow.

From the extended scene setting intro of title track "Breaking The Seal" to the genre fusing antics of "Combo Breaker", "Form Of Steam" and "Nexus 96" these 8 tracks build on the established Ghost In The Machine sound, but add something new to each track, taking their sound in directions we've not heard from them before and which we might not have expected.

Ghost In The Machine return to Perc Trax to follow up their break out 'One Louder EP' that came out on the label last summer. Since then they've been focusing on their own Genosha Basic label, touring to great acclaim around Europe and remixing Perc & Truss' 'Leather & Lace', turning an already large track into a peak-time festival munching bomb.

Across the four tracks on their 'King Dead' they widen their sound, floating synth arpeggios over their trademark rock solid kicks and adding a deeper level of ambience that lurks with intent underneath their driving percussive sound.

V.V.A.A - Raval Rave Breakers Pt.2

The second Raval Rave Breakers instalment continues with another strong five tracker. A Swiss knife where different sides of electro manage to coexist in blissful harmony. Some of them do so in a clean and classic way, like Dark Vektor's "Time Space Rhythm & Bass". A small 80s odyssey that fondly reminds of a certain quartet of well-known robots. Some others take a a more raw and contemporary approach, like Spoiled Drama (Nous, Fleisch), who plays the aches-and-pains card in a glorious way: "Drama's Welcome To The Synthesized Pain Society" goes straight to your cortex and it won't be easy to forget. Univac (Bunker, Moustache) sits in a more middle ground, bringing us "Collider": a powerful electro-techno track that will uplift any possible dancefloor. Larry McCormick, head honcho of the renowned label Monoton, signs as his usual alias Exzakt, but now gets accompanied by the mysterious BFX. Their track "Close" is a as perfect as it could be: a pure, raw, super intense breaker electro rhythm, a ratchety lead, a couple arps, a distorted vocal and a tremendous sub that, even at low volumes, it might be heard even from the Mariana's Trench. Closing the EP, Eel travels back to the more lo-fi side of the genre with "Sich Kreuzende Linien", an eerie and hypnotic track which surrenders to an absolute jackhammer of a rhythm section.

Anfs - The Age Of Ephemeral Man Ep

Features A5 card insert

Inner Surface Music are proud to present their new release from ANFS.

'Blood Trophy' cracks and fizzles with bass frequencies modulating around hypnotic snake like numinous drum structures. Eerie atmospheres add to the tension of this deep and powerful opener to the EP.

'VPA' has a shamanic feel to the way the drums lift you and meander throughout the track. Dark and heavy in dynamics, with distortion and precision, the grainy textures add to the final sinister mindset of this trance like journey to a ritual unknown.

'VPA' (Honzo A.D.H.D Remix). Honzo deconstructs the original drums and rebuilds them with a hard-core feel of early electronica. Acid baselines and ethereal pads take this track to the other side, dark and menacing but remaining euphoric, a true representation of the Honzo sound.

'Zevra' closes the EP with dark, power electronics, a real insight into the kaleidoscope of sound that ANFS emerges himself in. Techno, noise, experimental and punk world's collide in harmony...

Surgeon - From Farthest Known Objects

* This is the seventh Surgeon album.

* "While exploring new production techniques using old and unlikely hardware, the results were so unusual that I really had the sense that these pieces of equipment didn't actually create these sounds, rather they were in fact some kind of elaborate reception device that allowed me to tune into transmissions from Distant Galaxies. The music I could hear was actually the received transmissions of Pop Hits from those Distant Galaxies that were being played on their radio stations.
I quickly recorded all that I could before losing the transmission.

* I consulted with Dr Andrew Read, the astrophysicist with whom I recorded Guitar Treatments in 1999. He has worked on the discovery of the most distant galaxies and astronomical objects in the Universe. Together we came up with a possible list of where these musical transmissions may have come from."

Phase Fatale - Scanning Backwards 2x12"

Scanning Backwards, das zweite Soloalbum von Phase Fatale nach seinem 2017er-Debüt auf Hospital Productions, ist Musik über Kontrolle. Mittels der Verbindung von Klang als Waffe und psychologischer Manipulation als konzeptuelles Fundament, erforscht Hayden Payne Wege, auf denen Musik – und besonders Subbassfrequenzen – benutzt werden, das Denken zu beeinflussen als auch Emotionen und Verhalten zu synchronisieren: von Militärtechnologie zu Sound Systems zur Körperlichkeit und Sexualität queerer Technokultur.

Ausgehend von seinem innovativen Post-Punk-Ansatz zu Dance Music – nachzuhören auf seinen EPs für unterton und Ostgut Ton – bezieht sich der Berghain-Resident auf seinen Hintergrund als Gitarrist und Toningenieur. Daraus entstand auf Scanning Backwards eine berauschende Mischung aus gebrochener Rhythmik, Noise- und Shoegaze-beeinflussten Technos, oft mit langsamerer Gangart. Am Ende steht Musik mit Platz und Tempo zur weiteren Ausdehnung, das intensive Brausen von Frequenzen hervorhebend, die sowohl in der sonischen Kriegsführung und funktionaler Dance Music vorherrschen. Im Verlauf der acht Stücke, die eine Kombination aus historischen und fiktionalen Narrativen aus Literatur und Science Fiction im Titel tragen, ergründen Paynes rhythmische Exkursionen unterschiedliche Manifestationen von Klang als Macht – spezifisch im Sinne des Berghains als musikalisches Instrument. Dies reflektiert auch das Artwork des Albums: einem frühen Flyer der Partyreihe SNAX entnommen und offensichtliche Hommage an die Fetischisierung von Machtdynamiken.

In seinen eigenen Worten: „Alle Stücke dieses Albums, gleich welcher Stil, habe ich zugeschnitten, um auf ganz bestimmte Weise im Berghain zu klingen. Im Laufe der vielen Jahre als Tänzer inmitten des Dancefloors und auch während meiner DJ-Sets als Resident bemerkte ich, welche Frequenzen den Körper so richtig penetrieren. Das beinhaltet Sprache, Hochfrequenz- und Hirn-penetrierende Instrumentierung, Sägezahn- und Schlagbohrhammerästhetiken – die hatte ich bis dahin noch nicht so oft benutzt, denke aber, dass sie Einfluss auf das Denken und Gedächtnis haben. Das trifft besonders zu auf einen Ort, der schwule und Fetisch-Geschichte auf unerwartete Weise mit Musik kombiniert, auf fast kultische Art. Eine musikalische und physische Deinstallation und Neuprogrammierung, Psychic Driving und De-patterning, das Löschen und Ersetzen von Erinnerungen.“

Scanning Backwards wacht über die manipulativen Eigenschaften elektronischer Musik (Mantras, Loops, unterschwellige Botschaften) und wie Rhythmus sowohl Bewegung als auch das Denken in Einklang bringt. Ein Puls koordinierter Klang- und Hirnwellen.

Scanning Backwards, Phase Fatale’s second full-length album following his 2017 debut album for Hospital Productions, is music about control. Using the connection between weaponized sound and psychological manipulation as a conceptual foundation, Hayden Payne explores the ways in which music – and sub frequencies in particular – are used to influence thinking and to synchronize emotions and behavior: from military technology to sound systems and the physicality and sexuality of queer techno culture.

Known for his innovative post-punk takes of dance music as featured on EPs for unterton and Ostgut Ton, the Berghain resident draws on his background as both a guitarist and sound engineer to create a heady mix of broken rhythms, noise-, and shoegaze-inflected techno, often at slower tempos. The result is music with space and pace to expand, highlighting the intense rushes of frequencies found in both sonic warfare and functional dance music. Over eight tracks named after a combination of historical and fictional narratives from literature and science fiction, Payne’s rhythmic excursions explore different manifestations of sound as power – specifically within the context of seeing Berghain as an instrument itself. This is also reflected in the album artwork, taken from an early flyer for the SNAX party series and an obvious ode to the fetishization of power dynamics.

In his own words: “All tracks on the album, no matter the style, were tailored to sound a certain way in Berghain – something I figured out through years of dancing in the middle of the floor, DJing as a resident and investigating what frequencies really penetrate the body. This includes speech and high-frequency, brain-penetrating instrumentation and drilling textures that I had not utilized so often before, but which I think also have an effect on thought and memory. It's especially true in a space where gay and fetish roots combine with music in unexpected ways, almost in a cultish manner. A musical and physical deprogramming and reprogramming, psychic driving and de-patterning, the erasing and replacing of memories.”

Ultimately, Scanning Backwards surveys not only the manipulative properties of electronic music (mantras, loops, subliminal messages) but also how rhythm facilitates both moving and thinking in synchrony; a pulse of coordinated sound- and brainwaves.

Safeword
25.05.2020

Berlin-based modular performer and industrial techno craftsman Hartbrand spearheads newly launched Safeword Records imprint with a dark and driving release entitled 'Brunst'.

Taking inspiration from the likes of Gesaffelstein, Daniel Avery and Black Asteroid, Hartbrand fuels his production by creating soundscapes that reflect the feeling of a divided society and uniformed workers in the digital age of capitalism. Now, Hartbrand brings his energy-heavy and dark beats to Safeword Records, resonating with the label's intent to communicate thought-provoking messages through sound.

'Brunst' opens with full-frontal synth stabs, rumbling bass and driving percussion until 'Vater' propels forward with shooting analogue patterns, heavily saturated kicks and haunting sirens. Next, 'Dynast' dives further into dystopia with swinging beat programming, distant vocal shots and harrowing keys before 'Utopia' returns the senses to a warehouse atmosphere with chattering plucks, snappy hi-hats and thunder-like sub frequencies.

2x12"

Perc Trax's resident sonic explorer, modular innovator and all round Cornish bad boy Ansome returns to the label for his second album, following on from 2016's "Stowaway". Thankfully a move to Berlin a few years ago has not dulled or diluted his sound as he returns sharper and more focused than ever.

In the three years since "Stowaway" he has toured the world as a live act, a DJ and also with his collaborative performances with Perc. Away from clubs and festivals he has stirred up a hornet's nest on online opinion with his "British Steel" EP and continued to build up his own SLAM label into an essential source of uncompromising techno.

"Hounds Of The Harbour" extends the sonic reach of his debut album taking the Ansome sound simultaneously deeper but also harder. An expanded palette of textures are on display as razor sharp lead lines blend with cavernous spaces and tight rolling grooves. Early favourite "Copper" twists and turns across its arrangement refusing to ever just get locked into a monotonous groove whilst the title track and "Last Bottle" shows a melodic edge previously unseen in Ansome's work. The dancefloor is never left too far behind and the crunching beats of "Smuggler's Den" and "Hell For Leather". Always pushing forwards, never looking back "Hounds Of The Harbour" lays out the current Ansome sound whilst hinting at what is to come in the future.

First release in a series of four compilations, which includes international artists of the slow-industrial, tribal and experimental scene.

"Lyon based new label Kump presents a stunning debut with a 5 tracks vinyl compilation.

Opening with new project 'Ricco' by label boss himself Markus Gibb and french producer Jutix aka HLM38, 'Gilbert & George' would be the perfect soundtrack of an immersive nightmare in slow motion. Distorted hats and ghosty voices from the graves surronding by detuned guitar and discreet acid cuts.

Followed by a Middle East psychedelia inspired, Pletnev's 'Thinder' fit in the perfect definition of a dusty weapon. Mystic melodies and mesmerizing bass for suave basement parties.

Turn over, Ju-Ju83 is flirting with depression and nihilism. Untimely End takes you to an obscure journey in the 80s with this new-wave-ish banger. Where drum machines hangs out with rock bass and dying voice.

'Nirvana' by lithuanian producer Roe Deers is a subby minimalist down tempo triplet drive by weird-melodic' synths.

Killing the codes, this is truly musical rollercoaster for insensible souls.

Last breath with Markus Gibb, his 'Dernier Souffle' is a shamanic ambient and subliminal Eno-ish track.

Ethereal grace synths and smoky reverberations, this is the track to cross the nevada desert, psychotropes loaded

Nonetheless LP

2x12inchBAU010
Neubau
14.11.2018

Welcome to the seductive groove of Nonetheless, a new duo formed of Florian Bocksrucker and Felix Bergleiter, and the first LP on Neubau. Across four sides of vinyl Nonetheless deliver an intriguing mixture of tough dystopian midnight-drive soundtracks and transporting early electronic/musique-concrète-hybrid interludes. Nonetheless is the sound of cogs turning, churning melancholy and pulsing snake-charmer drum machine palpitation. The end result is catharsis through sinister journeying. From the near-acidic punch of 'Machine of Love and Hate', to the grandiose slow-motion of 'Epik' and the ravey 'Exclusion Zone', Nonetheless' debut record is something special to savour, and is proudly presented as the tenth release on Neubau.

Aesthetical
01.07.2020

New release by one of Berlin’s most unique and long standing producers. Patrick Stottrop’s activities are at the heart and foundation of Berlin’s Techno sound, active since 1996 and founder of Zhark Recordings, he’s been pushing and challenging the definition of dance music since it’s inception.
On this release we find the title track “Legeia” as well as the tracks “Die Erwartung” and “Richmond”, taken from The Garden of Time LP recoding session from 2019. These 3 tracks set the prevailing mood for 2 subsequent cuts, “Horus” and “Sorcerer”. While Richmond follows a more andante direction “Legeia” presents a unique combination of drones engulfed in a wild & hectic Technoid percussive Inferno. “Die Erwartung” on the other hand might resemble in its overall mood the Rheingold Prelude (in a higher register) with its drone like strings layer build up. wHILE “Horus” and “Sorcere” are recent tracks form KAREEMs current live set and were recently arranged to fit into the EP format. Both tracks build on static percussive hostility and climax towards their middle parts to an overall acoustic orgy of reverberating string strikes and high-pitched drone oscillations. An over all grand addition to his continuously growing and ecstatic catalog.

Maenad Veyl - Reassessment 2x12"

Maenad Veyl

Reassessment 2x12"

2x12inchVEYL016
VEYL
11.05.2020

Maenad Veyl returns with his sophomore album, ‘Reassessment’, a collection of 13 tracks inspired by inner turmoil and change. Expanding on the sound palette established with last year’s critically-acclaimed ‘Body Count’, Feriero ventures into heavier, more abstract territories and collaborations with Years of Denial.
I wrote a new album as Maenad Veyl at the end of last year, in part inspired by events surrounding some personal health issues and a (minor) surgery. I wanted the music, title and artwork (shot over a year ago) to reflect what I experienced then, as I saw them as a metaphor to other changes I was going through at the time.?
Needless to say, as we geared up for release as we usually do, the world ground to a halt. All the images , words printed or spoken on the album have changed meaning since and, compared to what many people are going through now, my “inspiring changes” feel distant and unimportant.?
We’re not blind to the fact this could be seen as inappropriate or in bad taste, and we’ve contemplated every alternative, but in the end we’ve decided to keep things as “business as usual” as possible, so ‘Reassessment’ is now up for pre-order. - Maenad Veyl

Eastel - Maintain the Oppression

Maintain the Oppression

12inchVENT020
VENT
20.03.2020

For VENT’s 20th release, VENT is visited by Eastel, who delivers her signature straight- forward dark techno. Industrial aggression at its finest. Tolga Baklacioglu reinterprets “The Day After” in a remix vibrating in the same frequency as Eastel’s original, whilst adding melodic timbres with its haunting synthline of ecstasy frozen into despair. Not much further ado is needed; tracks like these make words superfluous.
