Testkard 225 was a pioneering industrial project by journalist Danny Beller, which released a handful of cassettes during the 80’s and was a major influence for the electronic and experimental scene in Israel.

Genbaku was the 2nd cassette Testkard 225 released and the 1st to be reissued by Confused Machines. It was originally recorded and released in 1988. Only 30 copies were of officially made and they were quickly sold out. However, thanks to “illegal” home taping, it reached hundreds around the world and made an important mark on the emerging industrial scene in Israel, while getting some decent exposure via the tape trading phenomena around the globe.

Recorded on a four-track with minimal electronic equipment in desert city Beer Sheva, Genbaku is about a world collapsing into dystopia, caused by a drastic event or a virus, that disrupts the existing order of things, kicking off with a seemingly optimistic opening, then going through a darker phase and eventually reaching a safe harbor.

After being considered as a “lost tape” for three decades, it was rediscovered and reissued for the first time, mainly due to the persistence of Noam Rosenberg, owner of the Youtube channel “Boredom Lives Here”, and now it’s finally available again digitally and as a limited edition cassette with the original artwork via Confused Machines.

A celebration of L-O-V-E

Release that shows the evolution and sound maturity of Niño Árbol in relation to his introspection and exploration of analog-electric instruments. The result is a well-rounded Ep with an original rhythmic base that leaves the paradigm of the traditional 4/4 metric, giving life to a new sound that'll serve as a turning point for Mexican Techno. Bittersweet atmosphere and emotion that go from the profound to the dreamy, through forceful percussive and organic psychedelic texture.

The debut from new splinter alias of Manchester producer, sequencer designer, and Cong Burn label boss John Howes was made entirely on a Nord Modular G2, Elektron Machinedrum, and Monomachine – a rig he characterizes as “an authentic 2006 studio, best listened to on Windows XP Media Player or Winamp.” Paperclip Minimiser’s self-titled full-length collects eight elusively multi-dimensional constructs of stereo panned synthetics and slithering ambient techno, born of a web of generative patches subjected to improvisational alterations. Taking things further, Howes’ process involves “planting ghosts in the machines,” instilling each element with “some self-correcting behavior in a cybernetic / lo-fi AI / semi-autonomous agent kinda way.” The result is an ambiguous and dynamic hybrid of accident and intention, chaos and control, shuffling through an innerspace wilderness of psychic circuitry.

The title alludes to a 2003 thought experiment about the existential risk of artificial intelligence; how even a mundane objective, algorithmically extrapolated, could culminate in catastrophe. Here the notion is inverted, demonstrating the sonic infinities to be mined by “pushing and pulling at the strings” of musical systems. Howes aptly samples a vintage interview with electronic music pioneer Bebe Barron – co-composer of the Forbidden Planet soundtrack – discussing the anthropomorphic potential of randomized audio generation: “We thought of our circuits as actors in a script.” Paperclip Minimiser descends from a similar family tree, coaxed as much as crafted, flickering rhythmic synchronicities glimpsed in a mirage of wires and glass.

Transmitting Hypno Disco Vol. 2!

In this edition Sam Kin, The Apostle himself, takes us downtown with four cuts of retroactive house music. Deep bleep acid house, dystopian machine groove, street-lit dance tracks and live techno jams!

2022 Repress

Trip Recordings follows the huge success of its first three releases with a third double-vinyl album, once more curated by label owner Nina Kraviz and featuring gatefold artwork by in-house artist Tombo. The release draws on contributions from established Trip members Kraviz, Population One and Nikita Zabelin, in addition to new artists added to its expending roster including K-Hand, Philipp Gorbachev, Vladimir Dubyshkin and Roma Zuckerman.As established with the label's first three releases, TRP004 will function as a soundtrack to a scenario and its accompanying artwork from Kraviz and Tombo. The title 'Ivan, Come On! Unlock The Box!' (, ! !) is inspired by the track contributed by Philipp Gorbachev (Comeme/PG Tunes), from which Kraviz has extrapolated a story of a rule-defying Russian maverick who is 'searching for the key to the future'.Set for release in mid-November, TRP004's two twelve-inches orbit around a nucleus of talent drawn from label boss Nina Kraviz's homeland of Russia. In addition to 'I Believe I Can Fly (KLM Delayed Flight Version) - one of her own 'road tracks' produced during the producer's hectic global touring schedule - Kraviz has enlisted a quartet of her countrymen for this latest collection. Philipp Gorbachev contributes his most uncompromisingly techno track yet, while Moscow's Nikita Zabelin follows his label debut on TRP003 ('De Niro Is Concerned') with the sinister minimalism of 'Bells'. In addition, TRP003 marks the label debuts of Vladimir Dubyshkin and Roma Zuckerman, both of whom were recommended to Kraviz by Zabelin. The former - a true outsider, just 17 years of age and based in the remote Russian town of Tambov - follows an early 2015 LP for SUB-AMP Records with the disorienting off-kilter techno of 'Lose Yourself', while the latter marks his first ever release despite years of producing with the unsettling 'Geburt Part 2'.

Completing TRP004 are two defiantly individual international artists: K-HAND makes her Trip debut following a two-decade career that's seen her become on of Detroit's true underground, and relatively unsung, heroes. Her contribution, 'The Box', finds her clipping effortlessly within Trip's aesthetic, with a heady textured acid potboiler. Two more Barcode Population tracks, excavated from a mine of undiscovered Nineties-made rarities, complete the release with furiously paced techno rollers which will remain strictly vinyl-only.

Our story begins in Jerusalem 1980 – Zadik Zecharia – a folk musician whose speciality is the Zorna – a traditional kurdish woodwind instrument – recorded a cassette of kurdish melodies played on Zorna and Dola, a kurdish drum.

The tape was released independently and distributed mainly around the kurdish-jewish community in Israel. Zadik mostly performed at weddings and ha as / celebrations and was also known by the nickname “Iron Lungs”, because of his ability to take only a few pauses for breath during his long gigs.

In 2005, one tape found its way to “Something on the Road” – an underground CD-r Jerusalem based label which reissued the music on CD-r. Overnight, these intense melodies became a cult phenomena in the hipster-ish circles of Jerusalem and beyond. The kurdish melodies could suddenly be heard during dj sets, topping electronic beats, or adding drones to heavy experimental sessions. which later led “Something on the Road’s” founder to initiate a remix compilation with Jerusalem’s nest producers. One of them is your truly, Mule Driver. The remix has became a cult by its own.

Fast forward to present time, a conversation with Legowelt about folk music led Mule Driver to dig an unreleased longer version of this techno remix. As well as ask the mighty Legowelt for his interpretation, that turned out as a killer acid track followed by an EBM – electro belter by Juju (Juju and Jordash) and PRZ (Clone).

Auf seinem dritten Album Stellar Drifting präsentiert George FitzGerald ein Album voller Staunen und Emotionen, voller glitzernder Melodien und schillernder Elektronik. Das Album ist ein echter Fortschritt in Bezug auf Umfang und Komposition und gilt als eines der größten Werke unserer Zeit im Bereich der atmosphärischen elektronischen Musik, das mit den Füßen auf dem Dancefloor steht, aber mit dem Herzen 1000 Meilen über der Erde selbst.

Stellar Drifting ist FitzGeralds Interpretation des Klangs völliger Freiheit, in der er das Bedürfnis anspricht, sich mit seiner inneren Welt zu konfrontieren und dem Gefühl der Begrenzung zu entkommen. Um dieses Gefühl des grenzenlosen Lebens zu erforschen, hat sich FitzGerald vom Weltraum inspirieren lassen und die Bausteine des Albums aus Weltraumbildern und Audioaufnahmen von Raumsonden zusammengesetzt. Auf dem Album sind auch einige der faszinierendsten Künstler und Songschreiber der Welt vertreten. Die für den Mercury nominierte irische Band SOAK leiht "Rainbows and Dreams" ihre Stimme, Animal Collective-Aushängeschild Panda Bear verleiht "Passed Tense" einen poetischen Schwung und London Grammar revanchiert sich mit "The Last Transmission" für FitzGeralds Arbeit an ihrem britischen #1-Album Californian Soil. George FitzGerald ist seit über einem Jahrzehnt eine herausragende Figur der elektronischen Musik, die mit einem Bein im Underground und mit dem anderen im Mainstream steht. Er war an der Spitze der britischen Szene, als er bei Londons kultigem Black Market Records arbeitete, und verbrachte dann ein Jahrzehnt in Berlin, wo er auf renommierten Labels wie Aus und Hotflush Recordings veröffentlichte, bevor er bei Domino unterschrieb und sich vom Club-Produzenten zum Albumkünstler wandelte. Es folgten zwei von der Kritik gefeierte Alben, Fading Love (2015) und All That Must Be (2018), auf denen er mit Künstlern wie Bonobo und Tracey Thorn zusammenarbeitete und seinen Sound zu einem atmosphärischen und weltweiten Status erhob.

Confused Machines welcomes one of the most eclectic artists around, and longtime friend – Ian Martin!

As an artist he is without genre or style, an open source of creativity. He is the host of SEER Radio on Intergalactic FM and also an amazing DJ, whether it’s experimental or dancefloor madness.

Martin has released his music on acclaimed labels such as: Bunker Records , Pinkman, New York Haunted, Bio Rhythm to name a few

His 9 track “Grey Theatre” album for Confused Machines is a deep dive and playful exercise with his synthesizers. An emotional and mysterious listening experience. A portal to his soul. Melancholic at times, it flows like water and lurks from the shadows of reality.

The album will be released as a collector’s cassette tape and bandcamp download. Immerse yourself in this mysterious journey! We’re all living in a Grey Theatre…

There’s nothing stopping us from automating something.
Nothing is stopping us from being automated.

Form does not differ from emptiness, emptiness itself form. Sensations, perceptions, formations, and consciousness are also like this.

All beings & time are marked by emptiness; they neither arise nor cease, are neither defiled nor pure, neither increase nor decrease.
Therefore, given emptiness, there is no form, no sensation, no perception, no formation, no consciousness, no eyes, no ears, no nose, no tongue, no body, no mind; no light, no sound, no smell, no taste, no touch, no object of mind.
Far beyond all inverted views, there is neither ignorance nor extinction of ignorance. There is nothing stopping us from automating something.

Recorded in London, UK, 2020. Limited to 500 copies.

After featuring on the label with a contribution to Erell Ranson’s “Hand In Hand” Remix EP in 2018, SUED co-operator SW. punches back in on KOC with a hectic six-track sonic journey by way of inaugural transmission.

Crest-surfing the margins betwixt abstract beat-making, hardware experimentation and further explosive club-ready wares, the German producer breaks the trip in with the tropical hot "ariaJA" - reeling out a savvy mashup of animalian field recording, spaced-out FXs and loopy elastic bounce.

Cranking up the heat, a notch further, "moonNEWsoon" pulls out a hot mix of muscle-aching breaks, jackin' n’ smackin' toms and iridescent synth stabs, all coated with a thick sauce of mind-boggling machine stunts. Trading its gridlocked intro for an aqueously luxuriant design throughout, gOiOsee has us deep-diving in an all-blue scenario where each element finds itself draped in richly-hued envelopes.

Flip sides and here comes the further shape-shifting, non-formulaic "mASsLESS", which invites us to see straight through glassy cascades of skittish snares, gummy synth arpeggios and futuristic chimes as an Eden of AI-rendered birdsongs and forgotten melodies come to life before our eyes.

Back to a more dynamic mindset, “justMUST4y brings lush flights of altered piano chords and pop-informed harmonics face to face with a gritty, metronomic drum work to weave another singularly off-kilter epic SW. holds the secret of, right before "VFXpeaksTWIN" wraps it all up in a soul-invigorating, Twin Peaks-scented and horizon-broadening ambient finale.

Tammo Hesselink inaugurates his newly launched imprint Rear View Memory, intended for occasional dumps of personal works. On this first release the Dutch producer combines his rhythmic side with his modern hypnotic techno approach. The A side contains two UK techno inspired tracks that lie between soundsystem-ready dj tools and atmospheric floaters. The B side contains a percussive techno-not-techno roller and a halftime drum & bass workout in collaboration with Romanian producer DYL.

Alexander Kowalski presents two wonderful track-highlights, produced in collaboration with Funk D'Void and Joris Voorn. This 12" wants to give you a taste for his upcoming album which was released for the first time in 2005.

The Funk D.Void remix of Alexander's "You Think You Know?" was the beginning of a really efficient team play between two exceptionally gifted musicians. Alexander Kowalski made a remix for Funk D'Void in return and after having a good collaboration both decided to compose a track. So we listen tot Alexander Kowalski's and Funk D'Void's first track in cooperation "Can't Hold Me Back", accompanied by the well-defined deep vocals by Fritz Kalkbrenner.

Alexander Kowalski and Joris Voorn have been knowing each other for a long time. They also did remixes for each other like Joris' Tribaliscious Mix of "Days Of The Liar" and by this way they found their musical solidarity. It was obvious that they had to do a track together: "She's Worth It" is their output of the team play in the studio.

"Alexander Kowalski with Funk D'Void and Joris Voorn" proves us that these three global-techno-players complement one another perfectly and let us listen how wonderful it can be...

The Mysticisms label welcomes Coral D aka Duncan Stump for a debut outing here that marks the first new music to be part of the ongoing and most excellent Dubplate series. This artist has a long history of crafting "deep dub electronic swing" in his roles in Mock & Toof, FX Mchm and his 6000 Degrees project. This one finds him bringing some dub reggae influences as 'Dissolves' is built on a chugging rhythm with smeared chords. 'DR 55' is then a masterfully laidback digi-dub groove that warps space and time and so leaves you utterly hypnotised.

The seventh release of Sasaki Hiroaki's Yotsume-Music sees Hisashi Ito aka Hulot (Raum...musik, BELOW, FROGMAN/U.S.B.) welcomed to the fray, quite possible, given the EP's title, taking influences from Mr Hulot, the hero of Jacques Tati classic film 1953 'Les Vacances de Monsieur Hulot'.

Like said hero, there's a kooky, loveable eccentricity to his two productions - he counts Herbert and Moritz von Oswald among his main influences - with Tom Ellis Remix and Sasaki Hiroaki Remix adding a remix, one on either each side.

Founded in 1996, Adam Beyer's Drumcode has become synonymous with all that is exciting about techno. Having completed a landmark year in 2011 with their 15 Year anniversary that included a 12-date club tour and a 28-track various artist compilation, Drumcode gets back to the future in 2012 with a busy schedule of releases. Followers of the label will recognize familiar names within the schedule with projects confirmed from Adam Beyer, Joseph Capriati, Ben Sims, Alan Fitzpatrick, Kaiserdisco Gary Beck, Slam and Gregor Tresher, that will appear alongside debut EP's by Jay Lumen, Sam Paganini, Nicole Moudaber, Victor Calderone, Manic Brothers, Mark Reeve and Bart Skils.

Despite an international reputation and an ever-broadening roster of artists, Adam Beyer's Drumcode has remained distinctly Swedish throughout the labels 15-year history. Beginning the creation of the Drumcode blueprint via Beyer's own material, continuing through contributions from fellow Swedish trailblazers including Jesper Dahlback, Cari Lekebusch, Joel Mull, Par Grindvik, Patrick Skoog, and Thomas Krome and emerging Swedish talent such as Patrick Siech, Nima Khak and Nihad Tule, the vast majority of Drumcode's near-on 100 releases to date have originated from Sweden. As the label nears their century landmark it is fitting that they give a full debut to Manic Brothers, the latest production talent to emerge from the ever-prolific Swedish scene.

With their 'Moving Forward' track widely regarded as one of the highlight cuts from Drumcode's recent 'A-Sides' compilation, Manic Brothers make their full debut on the label with this four-track EP of elegantly industrial techno. 'Custom Illusion' sets the tone for the EP's mechanical yet melodic aesthetic, shunting and shimmering in equal measure as it weaves a tensely poised atmosphere. 'Black Bay' works up a full force groove punctuated by a pitch-bent elastic hook and panning effects. 'Restless' continues the exploration of sparse feelings with a marching, cavernous groove and abrasive pulsing pads while 'Gone Too Soon' conjures up an enchanting wall of sound with the distinctive melodic hook adding a warm hypnotic charm to a backdrop of resounding, pounding beats.

Perhaps slightly better known for his dancefloor-enlivening electro productions, this is actually the third full length ambient album from UK producer Emile Facey under the Plant43 moniker. He's been writing and storing up atmospheric synthesiser experiments alongside his dancefloor oriented output since his last ambient LP The Countless Stones released in 2020, and the eight tracks here are meditative, ethereal affairs, Facey carving out a beautiful set of vivid emotions out of crystal clear pure sounds and arpeggios rolling like gentle waves lapping at a shore. Imagine classic Tangerine Dream combined with the balance and poise of Global Communication and you're getting close.

This is a new project out of the Harmonious Thelonious camp. It´s stripped down, dub infused, harmony driven danceable music with deep basslines, chords and dub effects. Should be checked out live on a heavy sound system!! The sequencer is the weapon of choice!!!

In 2021, in the midst of COVID, in a desire to continue to share music and stay connected, Gauthier worked to produce collaborations with artists from all over the world, Ottoman Grüw (Canada), Nekro TFFV (Turkey), Lucas Martins (Brazil), Lethal M (Macedonia). The result is four techno tracks both melodic and powerful inhabited by voices that resonate like the whisper of a music that, whatever happens, will never stop to exist.

Never Alone is the testimony that even isolate we continue through the music to be together.

The end of the year seems a fitting juncture for this phase of the Utopian Dystopias trilogy to come to a close on Exalt Records. Paul Hierophant shares another selection of hardware made music drawing from scenes of far away and desolate planets in the cosmos. This is deep and emotional music resonating with tales of interplanetary life, the diaspora, broken dreams and most importantly a hope for the future.

The final part of the Utopian Dystopias triptych on Exalt Records also includes remixes from two of the finest names in contemporary Electro music – Plant 43 and Carl Finlow. Both have taken Paul Hierophant’s music and crafted fresh interpretations, fitting of the otherworldly double pack.

This double vinyl GRASSWAXXーLTD.1 South Center e.p.(45rpm, 4 tracks)is produced by RAWFILA who is the head of Grasswaxx recordings. Including Lo-Fi and DJ Tool tracks like deep minimal dub track layered saturated noise sound, and old school style riff synth sounds. South Center e.p. was mastered by WaxAlchemy who has a lot of positive reputation from producers like Mala, Goth-trad and so on.

4 fantastic new tracks on this second part of our SPLIT EP series.

Riffz follows on from his track on TUNNEL012 and brings an absolute dance floor smasher to your ears with "Continousness". His second track, "Hallway Tune" is a thing of rough beauty. Sublimely moody.

Label debutant No_Name provides 2 tracks showing us all what he can do. "At First Sight" is the tougher of the two with some great break chopping and bass drops. There are even some 93 style dark stabs thrown in for good measure. "Serotonin" has a really feeling of nostalgia to it. There is a beautifully uplifting string section with vocal chops which gets the goosebumps going

"Transmisiones Atlanticas" written and produced by Tensal "Hector Sandoval" who is half of Exium. This is a proper look on producers solo material mainly focusing on strong sequencer based hypnotic driving techno that would easily be in the same box as music produced by Regis and Sleeparchive. Modularz is very satisfied with the results of this massive 8 track release sold separately on two vinyls. There is incredible A list DJ support on this release highly recommended. TIP!!

For Tresydos’ third release, the Greek duo BODJ and Roksi debut their new, hardware only, live project Adult Sonics with "Hands in Motion" EP, featuring two of their freshest tracks to date plus a tasty remix from Vagara. The A side starts with “Ambedo”, a house track with minimal features and jazzy elements, a track you can listen to at any time of the party. A2, “Slow” is the perfect morning track, a nice combination of breaky beats, shuffled drums and dreamy pads. On the B side, Vagara takes over with his “Magic Morning Mix” of Ambedo, giving the track a more energetic take, bringing in acidic tones, stronger percussions, and new vocals.

DJ Heartstrings trajectory has gone into hyper-drive with their highly infectious releases coming by way of 1Ø PILLS MATE and newly formed label Eurodance. The Berlin based artist’s palette represents a palpable, glowing representation of hyper-trance and techno, with universal appeal and fun firmly at the centre, and with this momentum DJ Heartstring brings us their debut EP on UK mainstay Lobster Theremin; four colourful, club-ready tracks, born to make you move.

The familiar, pulsating movement of classic trance blends through ‘Met Her at Bâreneck’ inciting feelings of nostalgia and ecstasy before the rays from ‘Meteora Sunrise’ warm our already sweaty faces. The track’s energy is pure in it’s delivery, embracing us like an old friend; ready to say goodbye to winter.

If you’ve heard ‘Can’t Stop The Night’ from the producers previous record on Eurodance, you will have been floored with its excerburent melodies and unforgettable hooks. On the flip, ‘The Last Hour’ carries a similar vibe, this time by way of it’s hypnotic and mind-altering potency that has all the ingredients to keep us dancing for days. ‘The Last Hour’ has many of the producer's trademark sounds, but sways in a slightly more serious direction, highlighting new sonic territories for the producer.

Closing the EP is ‘One Night In Glasgow’ which plays out like the penultimate sequence in a movie; the anticipation and heart-racing rhythms coupled with ethereal pads and trance-driven melodies spill on to the city's bustling streets, in a drama best watched front left.

Says Pepe Bradock:

Dactylonomy V
The Offering / Tabernacle / Firmament / Paroles / Family Re-Belote: 5 is the sexy prime and final chapter of the this ridiculously digital collection..

A moving tribute to the pink(y) automated arpeggiator, and a synthetic soundtrack to broadcast your own good dancing news..

Not reluctant but cheerful, The Offering, opening track, is a nervous gift for repentant drunk divers planning to ball & wiggle with hurried eared seals - But not only - Planning ways to a temporary sanctuary, Tabernacle is a sonic underwater transcription of a televised fishy ballet.

On the other side, Firmament, our optimistic roof is escalating the heat with an exhilarating crew of humming step sequenced anointed bleeps, bubbly pianos and tipsy sine waves. Paroles slows down the pace while staying in the digital submarine realm with unseen ties that you will feel deeply. Drawing a face of happiness, the mesmerizing
Family reminds us the thicker than mud climate needed to sways out of this aquadelic escapade. Enjoy ! And connect the dots

We are very happy to share with you our first vinyl release: Noche EP (FYC005) by Santiago Uribe. A four track EP inspired by the electronic sound of the Montevideo night. We hope you enjoy it.

Time is running and a lot of distorted frequencies have passed in our eardrums since that first self-produced release on Sony cassettes in 2016.

Raw Culture turns 5 and for its fifth anniversary it is its handyman Asymmetrical to blow out the candles.

After his first EP “For Muthafucka Use Only” released in 2017, Asymmetrical returns to his little baby with an album, Blind Faith.

Inspired by Ben Elton dark, savagely comic novel where he imagine a post- apocalyptic society where religious intolerance combines with a confessional sex obsessed, self-centric culture to create a world where nakedness is modesty, ignorance is wisdom and privacy is a dangerous perversion, Blind Faith aims to be a critique of post capitalist society and to redesign the idea and the relationship in the contemporary club.

Two densely engraved sides for a total of 8 tracks ranging from Ebm to techno, from electro to New Wave, all connected by raw rhythms, noise and distant voices.

All tracks written and produced by Asymmetrical at FAUNA53, Roma 2020.

Mastered at Sensorium.

For our sixth release we welcome a young producer hailing from Bogota, Colombia. Buraye has been working on his sound for almost a decade now and he’s the co-founder of the From The Void Above label, having released great records from the like of Muten, Eliaz and Do Or Die. His Transcendence EP will be released on Griffé in september 2021. The record consists of four high-energy dance-floor oriented tracks with acid, trancey and electro elements. Hybrid productions bringing both analogue and digital components to create a fractal and entheogen mood.

The latest release on Livity Sound features an extensive insight into the work of Seb Uncles, aka Eusebeia. Uncles has been releasing his work prolifically over the past six years, from self-released tapes on Rebellion Electronics through to reams of 12”s and LPs for labels like Earthtrax, Western Lore, Rupture London and re:st. While his sound has often tilted towards drum & bass and jungle, he places atmosphere and composition ahead of genre boundaries and tempo restrictions.

Cosmos EP finds Uncles stretching out over eight varied tracks for a broader experience compared to the usual Livity EP. Glacial ambience and richly layered synthesis guides the record overall, at times leaving drums behind altogether, but even at its mellowest you can sense the overbearing bias towards soundsystem music. The melancholic electronica of ‘Becoming’ gets underpinned by dread bass, and ‘Solace’ places a haunting steppas-esque refrain in the midst of heavily dubbed downtempo. When he does turn to full-tilt drumfunk edits on the likes of ‘Hopes & Dreams’ and ‘Love + Light’, he approaches them with subtlety and finesse, matching rhythmic flair with melodic progressions which lend themselves to introspective listening as much as full dancefloor immersion.

Livity Sound is a label set up by Peverelist in 2011 as a vehicle for a raw and exploratory strain of UK techno, rooted in the heritage of UK dance music and sound system culture. It has since become one of the UK's foremost protagonists for cutting edge underground electronic music.

A roundup of positive nostalgia from Fontaine SMC: two french artists and friends who share the same vision of electronic music. They have several project under other names, often axed on IDM/electro, but this time the joined the forces for a synthwave and punk flavor project.

I was a soldier EP is a social criticism/journey into human fears and hard relationships, synthetized into an 80s look, dusty and raw sounding.

A mix of punk dementia and the most intense dance music, the one that takes the joints and makes you move them well. A sound that seems to come from a white label from the start of 90s to mystery titillate the timpani of the contemporary listener, but it does so in a familiar way.
