Earlier this year, Subwax Bcn made an important contribution to the electronic music community by having the timeless dub techno compilation Vibrant Forms II by Fluxion remastered and reissued. First released in the year 2000 on Chain Reaction, Earlier this year, Subwax Bcn made an important contribution to the electronic music community by having the timeless dub techno compilation Vibrant Forms II by Fluxion remastered and reissued. First released in the year 2000 on Chain Reaction, Vibrant Forms II is widely considered to be one of the greatest achievements in the genre. As it turned out, Vibrant Forms II became one of the last records to be released on Mark Ernestus and Moritz von Oswald's classic label - a suitable swan song if there ever was one. And that's it, right

Well not quite.

If one would search for Fluxion - Vibrant Forms III, Discogs would come up empty and Google would treat it as a misspelling. Until now.
Konstantinos Soublis, aka Fluxion, and Subwax Bcn have decided to pick up the banner and release Vibrant Forms III as a CD as well as four individual 12" records under 2016. It contains everything you could hope for and more: The massive, booming basses, the clicks and hisses, the atmospheric thunderstorms, the opium smoke-scented streaks of reverb and dub echoes. The warmth. Yes, above all else the warmth: Sometimes moist and dripping as in Safe Harbour, sometimes blisteringly dry as in Variant. It's no easy task, giving cold, dead machines warm breaths. And no-one quite does it like Fluxion.

The Reissue of Vibrant Forms II was an act of cultural preservation. It reminded us about the legacy of the Basic Channel label family, in which Chain Reaction played an important part. Without this legacy, the contemporary body of electronic music would look different and make very different sounds. With the Release of Vibrant Forms III, Subwax Bcn takes it one step further. Fluxion's Vibrant Forms III album remind us of the timelessness of truly great music, never mind the genre.

The elusive STL returns with a 3-track EP on his newfound home of Dark Matters. 'Nonzero Sonics' is the sixth label release to date, and their first to emerge this year. Stephan Laubner has enjoyed an accomplished career with releases on labels including Perlon, Smallville and Echospace. Despite a scarcity of interviews and public appearances, his reputation as a devoted audiophile and hardware enthusiast has afforded him a loyal following in underground music circles. This release marks the beginning of a new chapter with Amirali's Dark Matters imprint. 'Nonzero Sonics' explores dark and twisted sentiments in avant-garde structures, consistently executed with impeccable detail. 'No More Words' meditates on elements of dub and techno in an extended form, whilst 'Smooth Selector' establishes a stripped back groove replete with sub frequencies and cavernous echoes. Closing track 'Out Of The One' places peculiar harmonies in a tranquil framework, exemplifying the diversity of a producer with true dedication to his craft.

A newborn imprint with an obscure name makes the perfect home for Kozo to showcase some of his studio work under the ooodjkoz alter ego.
Uncle Tom's Tune needs all its 13 minutes to develop, with the melodic pattern fading in and out the wobbly baseline, like hiding from the sci fi sounds scattered throughout the track. Crafted to please crowds that enjoy to be cooked slowly, Milly Van Illy takes it to a more dynamic pace, stiching the groove beneath the percussions and storing all the energy into the hi hats. As for Lady Gargara, we're gratified with a twisted cocktail of chopped voices stuttering on broken drum loops. Uncommon as it may sound, Drag And Drob EP is here to add some spice to your record collection.

Following recent releases from Vakula, Alex Danilov and Andrey Zots, Arma turns its focus towards the unique, transcendental sound of Hypnobeat. The project has its roots in the DIY industrial scene of Frankfurt in the early '80s, spearheaded by Perlon affiliate James Dean Brown (Narcotic Syntax) in collaboration with artists including Tobias Freund, Victor Sol and Pietro Insipido. Aside from a few underground cassette releases, the project was mainly a live venture made up of polyrhythmic workouts on an array of drum machines and effects units, long before the practice became so fashionable. After many years in the wilderness, Hypnobeat received a shot in the arm thanks to the increased interest in obscure tapes from the early industrial period. Given her own modern explorations of raw drum machine science, Brown invited Helena Hauff to join him in performing Hypnobeat live with a setup that revolves around three 808s and an assortment of other rhythm boxes, a formidable arsenal of effects, and no preconceived plan. As well as shows at Les Siestes Electroniques and CTM (where the duo shook the walls of Berghain), Brown and Hauff were invited to perform for the Save Festival at Arma17 in Moscow in March 2015. It is from this set that the material on Ritual Fire Dance is gathered, aptly titled as the interlocking percussive rumble takes on a cyclical, tribal quality as aligned with traditional music as it is with contemporary electronics. The recording has been edited into two sections that adorn each side of the 12" peppered with enthusiastic approval from the crowd to affirm the intensity of the moment this incendiary music was performed live. As well as the widespread vinyl release there will be a limited cassette featuring the entire unedited performance, for those seeking the full hit of the trip. In coming full circle to the origins of Hypnobeat

Following a two year hiatus, bass purveying record label Soundman Chronicles is back with another EP to add to its collection. Helmed by Wisdom Teeth label head K-LONE, the three track release also features a remix from low-key, Bristolian duo O$VMV$M. A labour of love which has, according to Soundman Chronicles head honcho Parris, taken a year to complete', as both he and Josiah Gladwell aka K-LONE searched hard for a safe pair of remixing hands - Old Fashioned borrows from old school dub influences and breathes new life into the Basic Channel pioneered dub techno sound. Opening with the sparse title track 'Old Fashioned', which boasts warm pads and a dub techno framework spanning ten whole minutes, the EP then accommodates a buoyant four and a bit minute roller - 'In The Dust Of This Planet', characterised by a weighty kick and hard-hitting drums before the remainder of the b-side adopts a more stripped-back approach and Young Echo members O$VMV$M lend the title track an altogether more atmospheric feel in their remix, complete with a fuzzy lo-fi clap and dainty series of hi hats. A welcome return from both K-LONE and Soundman Chronicles, Old Fashioned finds a home on a label that's expertly mastered the ability to look back as much as it looks forward.

2529KM Records is a new dub techno label created by two friends and artists - Piotr Bejnar aka N1KT (Warsaw, PL) and Leon Lolishvili aka Boyd Schidt (Tbilisi, GE). 2529 KM stands for the distance between Warsaw and Tbilisi. The idea of the label to release compilations with artists from different countries and nationalities. Through music the label wants to unite different cultures and to create a group of friends all over the world, who support themselves in music and life.

The first release 2529KM 001 is the compilation from Idealist (Switzerland) - producer, DJ and label owner of Idealistmusic, Stojche ( Macedonia) - Berlin-based artist who's primarily inspired of the local electronic scene in Skopje, Boyd Schidt (Georgia) - one of the leading techno artists in Georgia and N1KT (Poland) - new techno alias from the owner of 2529 KM and Otake Records.

Dorisburg's first missive since his debut album, Irrbloss, is the most deadly distillation of his talents yet. Hypnotic basslines ripple out into grand atmospheric journeys, "Venom" for the black of night, "Serum" with a hint of light on the horizon.Dorisburg journeys further into the night on Venom, his first record of 2017, and it quickly found its way to Kalawila's label Mountain Explosion Device, due to the two artists having a long standing friendship that developed into a joint view of texture and sonic emotion. Having found its home, Venom burrows deep into an underground cavern, bass pulses dripping like stalactites into endless black pools of atmosphere. You journey for hours and end up in the same place. And then, just when you've resigned yourself to endless night, "Serum" is a glint of sunlight in the dark, a hint of Dorisburg's reserved optimism. You can heal yourself as long as you keep moving.

Inter Gritty follows his debut album up with another EP, going down a slightly more abstract path here. Void offers plenty of depth with warm pads and subtle breaks, while Blurred edges takes your mind for a spin with its cycles of bleeps and ever changing bass line. On the B-side, Cure For Madness is a gradually unfolding, moody techno builder with crisp beats and lush drones.

Fabian Winkels and Ben Balance's Ho Do Ri project has been responsible for some of the best minimal house workouts of the last two years. Hopes are naturally high, then, for this first appearance on Mariano Mateljan's Split-based u.dig imprint. Happily, they hit the ground running with A-side "Fu Giunta 007", where fluttering, dream house style synth melodies and becalmed ambient chords wind their way around a chunky, bass-heavy tech-house groove rich in bustling bass and outer-space electronics. Their minimal instincts come further to the fore on heads-down flipside "Flood Shella", which peppers a hypnotic, locked-on groove with Villalobos style electronics and mind-altering electronic effects.
