No one sculpts volts & frequencies into a story quite like David Morley. For Futurepast’s third release, he has delivered a precise rendering of its vision to transcend temporal associations and perceptions. In the title track Boundary Travels, he ascends quickly into a weighty melodic line that oscillates like the natural intonations of an inner monologue, built upon a foundation of tightly knit hits and bleeps. The story of Limbo unfolds in the infinitesimal margin where intensity becomes softness, hesitation becomes resolution, and boundaries become intersections. Sounds drift past, above, and below in Crushing Pressure as if a city, or its memory, was suddenly suspended in a black hole. Boundary Travels might be the closest we can get to such a horizon.
- DVK

This initial release on the new Futurepast label marks Davy's first output as a producer, crystallizing his endeavours in the studio and bearing witness to his long-standing experiments in electronic music.Built between London and Berlin over the last four years, The Long Now lays down the blueprints for following ventures on the label: using old and new gear to create unique, obscure soundscapes both outside of memory and away from nostalgic projections of lost futures. In a timeless and precise collaboration, Davy has brought together two historical figures for this release: 1990s R&S Records associate David Morley mixed the tracks,
while Simon Davey of The Exchange lent his renownedmastering skills to the project.Temporality, time travel and perception are key concepts for Davy, and not only in the EP's title.The four stripped-down tracks move forwards, sidewards and backwards in a bid to get us lost - not in space but in what time might sound like should we be swimming through it.Mysterious and ageless synths mesh with the beats of an unnamed drum machine under Davy's control.We move through a non-linear story told by three distinct forward-thinking techno titles:No Memories Planned, Circular Weeks and Causal Loop.Finally, the titular ambient track pans out cinematically over the images left in our heads:an invitation to begin it all again in The Long Now...

For the second release on Futurepast, MGUN aka Manuel Gonzales offers a fresh take on his Detroit roots with three tracks that escape the usual categories. No two subsequent bars are identical, simultaneously reflecting and satisfying our curiosity. Gritty drums and panned-out synth sequences in 'The Nerve' result in a suspenseful yet unmistakably energizing step. 'Snap In', with its funky, reverb-soaked highs and hefty breakbeat, demonstrates MGUN's talent for folding in his electro and hip-hop influences. 'Intent' recalls a dreamy, vintage slideshow projector, misplaced memories lining up in a heartfelt procession. Each track taps into an elemental feeling within, fitting snugly into Futurepast's time-traveling vision.

Psyk's Non Series label keep sup a busy 2018 with a new EP from Pris. He's an artist with a deep heady techno sound that has previously found a home on the esteemed likes of Semantica, Avian and his own Resin and now serves up four more of his serene and stylish tracks.

Flagrant Foul is the busy opener. A flurry of 909s set the tone as a sparse, paranoid synth echoes around the mix up top to make for a deep techno track a real eeriness. Leech is then a tunnel vision groove which is streamlined and stripped back to icy ticking hi hats and rumbling bass, and Submit is a dark passage of interweaving drones and edgy pads that takes you deep into a rabbit hole. Lastly, Velvet Lips features more bristling drum programming, but softened by the pensive pads that linger in the air above. It's cavernous, atmospheric techno that really sucks you in from start to finish

After a short hiatus, the dynamic duo of VSK & Conrad Von Orton return with their collaborative project, Symmetrical Behaviour.
After a steady stream of releases via Soma over the last couple of years. The pair took time out to focus on solo projects but return with a vengeance with the "Superconducting Harmonic Oscillator" EP which furthers their experiments in sound design and high-powered Techno.

Title track "Superconducting Harmonic Oscillator" kicks off the EP at a furious pace as highly charged atmospheres create and emphatically large sound for the pairing's suitably tough beats to hammer through. "Quantum Interference Device" goes down a more direct path as expertly crafted rhythms overlap against a backdrop of highly evolved drones and synths.

"Amplitude Spectral Density" keeps the tempo moving but leans on a more industrial tip with crashing beats submerged against articulately mangled synths that drive home the true force of the track. "Resonant Antennae" closes out the new EP from Symmetrical Behaviour and really has them show off their production prowess.

Jarring and off kilter rhythmic structure combine to deliver a truly head pounding track complete with the pairs stylistic atmosphere manipulation.

All Tracks Mastered by Conor Dalton @ Glowcast Mastering.

Voltage Festival is releasing a compilation of 4 EP's to celebrate five years of existence. The EP's are dedicated to four sub-genres of techno and represent the versatility in techno of Voltage Festival's line-up.

The series starts off with a classic techno EP called ‘Zener Diode’, followed by a deep techno one called ‘Wiring Harness’, an industrial release with the name ‘Circuit Breaker’ and closing with acid techno called ‘Resistor’. The artists featured on the releases already made their appearance at Voltage Festival, or are playing on this year’s edition.

Anurak Boonliang is a young producer from Bangkok. As a child, he was trained as a musician for the traditional Thai shadow theatre. Nang Yai, as it is called in Thai, is an acting genre counted among the shadow plays with large picture panels made of parchment, which is cultivated in the center of Thailand around the capital Bangkok. The immovable figure plates are each carried by one actor and danced to the music of Pi Phat. Boonliang's journey from Pi Phat, the classical music ensemble of Thai music, mainly composed of percussion instruments, to working with drum computers and synthesizers was a short one.

A child of punk and noise, Pierre G. Desenfant, under the Blackthread monicker, pursues the multiple incantations of an immersive and inner quest, carved from the limbo of his own dreams, cinematographic miniatures where the intimacy of words and spoken word meets the chiseled luxury of analog machines.

In his songs of a new century, Blackthread experiments with the precision of the scalpel, an outstanding storyteller floating on vaporous synthetic mist. Sumptuous magnetic clouds in which balances an emaciated bass, choirs on the horizon, a soul keyboard or a minimal, almost hypnotic beat. We slide between scenes in sequences, carried by the echo of this voice dancing between the murmuring and the sung, hints of Gil-Scott Heron flirt with Pansonic, Coil and Eno-esque ambience.

Written and constructed over three years, his third album The Way You Haunt My Dreams was recorded with urgency in only a few days, with the contribution of sounds from friends Béatrice Morel, Frédéric D. Oberland, Stéphane Pigneul deOiseaux-Tempête, Rémi Dulaurier and the complicity of Johannes Buff (Zombie Zombie, Lee Ranaldo and The Dust, Enablers) in the mix. Contemporary photographer Gaël Bonnefon illustrates the album with his striking silver-toned clichés.
Sparkling with a sensitive bark and piercing directly the heart, Blackthread delivers with The Way You Haunt My Dreams a black and red diamond, addictive hollywood wandering, already blending into the night to haunt dreams in technicolour.

Blackthread is a story of development. Removing the traditional guitars and drums of noise rock in which he made his more conventional apprenticeship, Desenfant has reached a minimalistic formula in finding a new path. Constructed with minimal tools (a bass, analog synthesizers and his voice), his music, after these few years, expresses a plethora of sounds and feelings. Spoken words, whispers and explosions, this disciple of Brian Eno, Silver Apples and Alva Noto writes a beatless techno, rock devoid of guitar, an ambient enhanced with texts of icy beauty.

With The Way You Haunt My Dreams, Blackthread grapples with the tension of a certain genre of dark rock and literary post punk, superimposed in ambient music. Continuing with this sense of mood, Desenfant succeeds with this new album in developing a rare songwriting in experimental synth music. Blackthread is also a story of the voice. Never suffocated by acoustic research, the words of the vocalist give this disc its depth of personality, somewhere between neuroleptic reverie and confrontation with the musician's catharsis.

Outer Gateways is the culmination of twenty years of friendship and countless years of anger, frustration, sadness, obsession, addiction, bad sleep, and poor mental health. The cycle of these feelings didn’t begin twenty years ago, and it won’t end in 2020, but the friendship began in the desert and won’t end this year, either, for two brothers - Gary Geiler and Kevin Palmer - who share concussions, floating head hauntings, bouts of self-deprecation and, most strongly, white hot anger towards those who bulldoze for a buck and a Black Friday piss-up. They are friends who make music to fight a failing future, not for an optimist’s sake, but to quiet their anxieties for a moment of sleep before the alarm clock drags the shit back into focus.

BOA is a brotherhood formed through almost classically cinematic settings: desert drives to pick up a small town’s Wire magazine; skating soundtracked by Public Enemy, Godflesh, Adrian Sherwood and No U Turn; copies of Burroughs, Ballard, Bradbury, and Borges traded between backwoods parties and band practices. A connection unharmed by circumstance and strengthened by time lays the groundwork for a creative, emotional exchange delivered in bass weight and Chronic forms.

Twenty years of the above (and way beyond) led to a release on Seagrave in 2015, before hunkering down to fine-tune their collaboration into the eight tracks contained within Outer Gateways. (The preceding 12”, SUS033, features material recorded after the completion of the album; Mosca’s remix pulls from sounds contained within the album.)

Kevin and Gary - who produce as Best Available Technology and Ovis Aurum, respectively - cast sonics to curse oil barons with rapid dick decay. Sound-making stops time as it silences the anger, focusing fatherly / brotherly frustrations towards those who hate unconditionally, who destroy without compassion, who desecrate for their own sakes and spit upon our futures. A tool to fight eco-anxiety and a map to chart the next twenty years, Outer Gateways is sonics proper operated like heavy machinery.

BOA's Outer Gateways LP will be available on vinyl LP & digital, with 100 limited edition copies housed in heavy-duty black jackets screen-printed in glimmering metallic gold.

Wilde Calm Records is proud to present Omniscient Wildin’, the follow-up release to Boonlorm’s classic “piano not piano house” album, String Figures. A decidedly “techno” approach was taken for the six-track EP, with Boonlorm setting the master tempo to 130 BPM and utilizing a rugged economy to emphasize the rhythmelodic dialogue between the drums and prepared piano. This “percussion discussion” quotes the past syntax of Chicago and Detroit, the 20th century avant-garde and the bold new dialects being created for dance floors around the globe.

Byron the Aquarius (aka Byron Blaylock), an accomplished keys player as much as he is a producer, has a deep love for the organic side of music. This shines through in his creations, back to his debut EP in 2007. More recently, Blaylock's skillful jazz beats have found a home on the one and only Jeff Mills' Axis Records. From his birthplace in Birmingham Alabama, Blaylock has grown into an international figure of acclaim for his explorative compositions.

Already having two successful EPs with Shall Not Fade under his belt - most recently marking the labels' 50th release with What Up Doe? Vol.2 - Byron the Aquarius returns for a gorgeous double LP. Expect the smoothness of deep house, melodic instrumental hip hop production of the J Dilla creed along with tight jazz pieces.

The New Beginning LP showcases range and expertise from the off, exploding with pulsing discordant jazz in "Amaya's Voyage". Psychedelic g-funk is the MO of "Smoke One For Huckaby", before a B-side milieu of jazz and hip hop reminiscent of Guru's Jazzmatazz. The album settles into a deep groove across its C-side, the highlight of which is the percussive workout of "Underground Was Black", complemented delicately with dazed pads and buoyant but smokey lounge jazz sounds in "Cosmic Jazz". Off kilter hip hop shines through in "Last Time We Gonna Do This" and its eclectic sound palette, then we are blindsided by the heavy electro distortion of "The End Of The World". The record closes with a collaboration of the genres explored throughout, pieced together into the pumping "Lost People of Tron". The album feels like a lap of honour around all the influences in Byron The Aquarius' sound - it's yet another artistic triumph.

For over 4 years, David Coccagna aka Chaperone has been a constant part of Great Circles, as musician, art director, and muse. With Snapback Balaclava he once again fully embodies all of those roles, delivering three inspiring tracks, selecting his remixers with specific attention to their musical histories, and designing his cover art. Across the A-side, Chaperone scrapes away at the grit - personal grit, the grit of anxiety, and Philly grit. These are meditations on loops, and loops on meditations. Each one appears on the surface to be a brief quote, but time dilation takes over, and minutes later we discover that Chaperone has welcomed us into and back out of his own healing moment.
Like Chaperone's P O N D release (GRCR-009), the B-side of Snapback Balaclava is a Great Circles extended family affair with a trio of diverse remixes that expose and exploit fragments of the chaos Chaperone so carefully contained. Hitoshi Kojima (Thrive) reinterprets Pulse Feels Swells Beating with relentless syncopated rhythms and synth lines that hang like massive string drones. M//R lays down a signature percussion ensemble palette, zeroes in on otherwise peripheral elements of Grit Neglect, and then deftly navigates sea change with both. Matt Korvette and Sean McGuinness of Philly punk band Pissed Jeans open up the pit and finish the story, taking Femur Baseball Bat to its literal and brutal potential with monstrous vocals and kicks.

Fresh Fruits from Christian Kroupa accompanied by a remix from Fruit Merchant associate Manuel Fischer. This record marks the fifth instalment from Hidden Spheres Fruit Merchant Label and the first for 2020.

Christian would like to thank his mum and Dad for their love and support.

Florian Meyer back on BH, with ten minutes of gamelan psychedelia, subtly and tensely minimalist as Terrence Dixon at his best. On the flip, Dresvn takes more of a beeline to Detroit, fuelled by submerged classics like UR's Coinochime — cosmic, but deadly and unsettling. ('Gammel' means 'junk', in German. Maybe Magellan the explorer permeates that title, too, going round in circles in the East Indies, giddy and gammy below decks, amidst his trophy exotica.) Warmly recommended.

Outcast Oddity's own Engyn unsuspectedly delivers a full album...
offbeat Techno & Electronica listening pleasure on double 12inch!

This release is part of special double vinyl pack, sold separately.
Drone slow techno and 4x4 experiments by the owners of the label, F-on and Urtzi.

Second release of greta wohlfahrt. three tracks of post-techno lucidity in sound on 33,3 rpm black vinyl find their way to a noisy surface of modern worlds decay. first track „jargon der eigentlichkeit“ is a 12 minutes long growing journey into the acid electro continuum, evolving from halftime to a 4/4 beat and runs out into particles of a dying handclap. on the flipside „-„ is a dark melody synth track mostly made with soviet synth faemi-1m and „ausweichquartiere“ a more uptempo post-techno and new-wave punk track with a more live performance feeling and wild structure.

Greta wohlfahrt is both the labels name as it is the name of an unknown, invisible collective of electronic flâneurs and boulevardiers.

Pinhas with Patrick Gauthier, François Auger and Didier Batard, from 1979; whilst Klaus Blasquiz' vocal spot adumbrates the links between Heldon and Magma, and runs back to his time with Pinhas in Blues Convention. The knockout here is Boléro, twenty minutes of sound and fury, lit up by the sequencers of engineer Didier Badez.

Four highly requested remixes of Jacques Greenes sophomore Dawn Chorus album by Fort Romeau, Big Miz, Ciel and Martyn Bootyspoon.

Last years “Dawn Chorus” album showed Jacques Greene outgrowing the limitations of the tempo-defined dance genres he rose to notoriety within. And while his own music grew in scope, Dawn Chorus became his most collaborative work: courting friends and instrumentalists to lend their work to the album. For that reason, Dawn Chorus feels so much richer than his prior, solitary bedroom production and spoke to Greene’s competence as a curator. Inviting friends to contribute original remixes to the Deluxe Edition of the album which speaks to his ability for curation in a whole other sense: building on the album with club primetime house and techno, afterparty warehouse versions from Greene’s friends and family.

Back to Life strikes again with another hidden jam from the past. Originally released in 2006 “Going Home” EP was signed by a side-project of John Beltran called Nostagic.

This new 2021 edition includes: “Placid Angles”, “Detroit Moments” and “Going Home”.

Highly recommended for all 'Detroit Ambient Techno Lovers' !

Our first vinyl split EP is finally here. Which includes 4 tracks from 2 forthcoming Eps on REVOLT from Kessell and Jokasti & Nek, alongside remixes from Bas Mooy and Acronym

Collaborations between Eugene Ward — aka Dro Carey, Tuff Sherm — and Sam 'Blank Mind' Purcell.

AURALTD002 comes on tape. Strictly limited and something truly special.

Following his first release on Vanila few years ago, one of our Athenian favourites, Morah, returns to the label with an even more menacing and filthy release, with VNL010 he delivers four tracks that clearly show his appetite for chaotic and dirty grooves. Once again slow and steady!

For Our first DEXT EP of 2019 we welcome Otik to step up for his follow up release to “Deep Red EP” that dropped on DEXT early 2017 , since then Otik has had solid release’s on labels such as Keysound recordings & Midlands Intergraded.

This EP see’s the London based Bristolian on the usual rugged form we have come to expect, with grimey broken beats lots off bottom end sub action and cascading synths. On The B – Side we welcome Bruce who reworks the lead track “Dioxide” into a wonky bassline roller guaranteed to cause maximum damage on the dancefloors in the early hours.

Classic dark hardcore-jungle from ‘93

Released in conjunction with The Music Preservation Society

Brand new limited Detroit / IDM killers on Redsonja Records.
80 copies only.

Redsonja Records is proud to present reference number 20 in our catalog, Visionary 02, in the same format as the previous release (Visionary 01 - RS16). The EP compiled by various artists also showcases the new image of our label: the warrior in action. These special edition vinyl represent the philosophy of our label, a vision!

Pelacha works with 4x4 rhythms in her track titled ʻAsteroidʼ resulting in a very groovy track, with Detroit touches and pads that accompany and enrich the trip, leading us into a climax of delicious rhythms.
Serkin then takes us through a beautiful landscape of emotions contained within a melody, reaching us deep inside the heart with ʻSomething in The Skyʼ, a structured track in the style of IDM where musicality and rhythms break in a sublime yet orderly manner.

K3rn3l Pøissøn surprises us once again with his far out vision of the future. ʻSwagger Particlesʼ, a finely chiselled track, which envelops us in a plethora of hammered out beats and deep cuts that stand strong together in motion.

Finally, Trømmel introduces us to the world of breaks with his broken rhythms and bounding vibe. ʻTime Is Running Outʼ is simplicity and creativity all rolled into one, resulting in a track high in calibre and low in frequency.

By day he guides lasers into position using precision equipment, at night he crafts raw house music. Welcome to the unusual world of Reflection Port Assembly. We got to know one another through a few brief, slurred encounters in the smoking area during the fabled Forza Italo night or at the aptly named Gary's Gang. Pretty soon it was clear that he had impeccable taste, like that record that featured Coil and Ice T. One sunny Friday afternoon in June, he tore himself away from guiding the lasers and we met up in the city centre. The light breeze did nothing to dissuade the office workers from gathering outside the pub for sneaky post-work pints. Surrounded a sea of grey and blue business attire, we agreed to make 'Retribution' the second release on First Cut. Featuring three cuts, it spans house, electro, boogie and even some Detroit techno influences.
But 'Retribution' is more than the sum of these parts. Unlike his precision-based day job it's rough and imperfect, flawed but warm, messy and charming - like a snapshot of every day life in Dublin.

RITES OF PASSAGE is an obscure artist from Moscow delivering the first release on new imprint BORE HOLE with some very personal lo-fi recordings showcasing his raw minimalistic style with trippy tribal sound excursions!

All recorded live in one or two takes most, using a roland mc 505 , roland aira tr8 , some fx pedals , recorded in cassette on a tascam 424. wich is the same set up I use to play live today.
i cant remember now , but maybe 2 was recorded directly in the computer , live ,in 1 channel.

SIWEI returns with a 6 track EP, this time showcasing a more cinematic take on his universe with four deeply textured broken beat offerings, while Dawn Of Dawn and Fast Forward Flashback are guaranteed to put your dance floor in third gear.
