Techno Vinyl New Releases - News

The duo returns with the third part of their reputable 'vs.' series! Close your eyes and forget everything around you. All 4 cuts are pure "in the zone" techno trips.

About the series:
Enemy vs ARTS is a split-release vinyl series where each label controls the A&R of one side of the record. "Modern Penetration" follows previous releases "Excuse the Disorder" and "Man Worships Power".

Casting the net ever wider, Kalahari Oyster Cult have drawn in new music and a new artist for their latest release. Flora FM, a.k.a. Community Corporation a.k.a. T. Hawkins, has graced imprints such as Argot and Vanity and now debuts with Chaos Light. Trying to define the style of this sound weaver is a near impossible task, the gamut of electronics has been plundered to create this unique EP. From the aquatic hypnotics of 'Hallucinogenic Worm' and the hyperactive energy of 'Chrome Glass', Flora FM borrows from acid house, rave anthems and techno with a magpie like curiosity as he melts textures and tones like a master. Broken beats and rich xylophonic melodies coalesce in the bubbling 'Storm Cleaned' before the warm bath that is the Chicago hued 'Insist on You.' Chaos Light keeps you guessing until the very end, the erratic and frenzied reductions of beat and bass combining to form 'Inc Stop.' A youngster with the ear and ability of a seasoned veteran.

LFT003 is an introduction to the music that Jordon Alexander (Mall Grab) and long-time friend, housemate and sometimes-DJ-partner Alysha Fleiter (Nite Fleit) have worked on over the past year together. The product of swapping stems on tour, trains and at home, the ‘Moogie’ EP combines two individual and two collaborative tracks for the third release on the Looking For Trouble label.

After destroying dance floors worldwide, Nite Fleit’s “Hot Bot” finally sees the light of day at A1. With EBM-leaning atmospheric percussion and a huge pulsating bassline, this is a proven peak time club weapon.

Mall Grab’s “Reconnaissance” (A2) is another club-geared stomper with a throbbing bassline and breakbeat homage that operates deep within old-skool rave territory. Having made its mark as an unidentified dub in all of MG’s sets over the past year, “Reconnaissance” is now ready to be unleashed!

B1, “Anatomy of the Senses”, the collaborative debut from Nite Fleit and Mall Grab, is a promising introduction to future products of this fusion. With NF’s signature evolving and pulsing basslines/synthesis, and MG’s distinct drum programming/synth licks, this trance-acid-tekno 4/4 stomper is an unapologetic body-shaker.

Closing off the record, “Moogie” (B2) is the second official melding of the minds of NF + MG, an electronica-leaning electro number that feels as at home in headphones as it does on a packed dance floor.

Tred returns to E-Missions with four otherworldly electro cuts entitled
‘Fragments Into Nothing’ featuring a robust remix from Solid Blake.

Dropping his debut release on E-Missions just over a year ago, which received
support from the likes of Boris, Mama Snake, Volvox and Courtesy, Tred’s
continued turning heads ever since, performing both in his birthplace of Australia,
Asia as well as many of Berlin’s finest clubs, notably regular appearances at
Tresor. Kick-starting this year with a release on Australian label Doe Dee, he now
returns to P.Leone & Caiazzo’s consistently quality E-Missions imprint bringing
three twisting tracks.

‘Fragments Into Nothing’ is built on crunchy snares, soaring pads and aquatic
effects whilst ‘The Manitou’ is more raw in comparison with its thunderous kicks,
chugging low-end and sci-fi synths. Quick and intricate, ‘Disconnected’ features
an analog bassline, ethereal chords and distorted vocal murmurs, making way for
a slower, more muscular remix from Glaswegian producer Solid Blake.

Our 8th VA compilation, spinning a web around fresh and old bloods alike.

A1 introduces Arp220, with the tripping Meur Maei. Disembodied vocals bouncing over acid drips, scorching.

A2 sees Obergman stop the clock with trademark tight productions on the tuff n sucking Chronostasis.
On the flip, the long-elusive collaboration between XY0815 and Int Main Rigid Body sees a proper release after an ultra limited run at last year’s Rye Wax’s Run Out.

The Jaffa Kid re-emerges after his Beauté Du Négatif EP with Intergalactic War Trials, weaving thick but never cloying synth work over a stepping wicked rhythm, making it all happen & dripping for the 'floor’.

Finally, newcomer Oskar Telemann sees off the EP with a crafty marriage of IDM and synthwave on Anruf Aus Dem Westen. Chilling.

5 cuts, 5 styles, everything you need to slick the floors with out of date smoke fluid.

Peder Mannerfelt and Pär Grindvik firm up their Aasthma duo with a wormholing debut 12” on
their new, eponymous label, following up a 2014 collaborative EP and their rugged 2018 remix of
Fever Ray’s ‘Mustn’t Hurry’
Taking notes from all corners of the contemporary electronic spectrum, Aasthma distill a keening
mode of modern but classically-sculpted techno in ‘Only The Appraiser’. Ready for warehouses and
smoke-filled basements alike, the duo’s new venture puts their combined decades of dancefloor
experience to brilliantly unpredictable and disorienting effect that begs to be explored by DJs in-
the-mix.
Establishing the project’s broad coordinates, the sound design study ‘Das War’s Dann, Leute!’ is
an enigmatic palate cleanser for the main course, where ‘Only The Appraiser’ modulates from a
sleek, stepping acid techno groove recalling Function or Rrose productions, and into sweltering
psychoactive dimensions rent with disembodied stabs, before calving off into pitch black,
viscous, lysergic abstraction, leaving the path wide open for DJs to twist where their fancy and the
rave feels to go.
Don’t miss this.

In 2017 Blair French came out of hibernation to release contrasting but similarly sun-kissed EPs on Rocksteady Disco and Claremont 56.

Here, he returns to action with a scintillatingly sunny and sensual six-tracker on NuNorthern Soul that may well be his strongest release to date.

Given French's chameleon-like musical history, that's certainly a bold claim.
Over the years, he's been a member of a multitude of musical collectives - most notably Cosmic Handshakes and Formless Figures - established his own DIY record label (Fat Finger Cosmic) and released music that touches on a dizzying array of styles, from award-winning movie soundtracks and Afro-fired deep house, to skewed techno, blissful ambience and experimental hip-hop.

On Patio Pastel, French is in full on sand-between-the-toes Balearic mood, delivering a range of lucid, ear-pleasing compositions that will sashay their way into your consciousness.
Contrast, for example, the drowsy organs, glistening pedal steel and undulating hand percussion of opener 'Patio Pastel' with the Serge Gainsbourg style chanson-goes-tropical bliss of 'La Playa De Tercipelo', which features some deliciously breathy vocals from Stephanie Lyon.

Then there's 'Morning Sail', a sumptuously evocative soundscape rich in toasty, dub disco bass, shuffling percussion and lilting, Jonny Nash style guitar solos (see also the effortlessly horizontal Lounsbury Gardens'), and the kaleidoscopic, saucer-eyed Balearic pop brilliance of ;'Human Make Human', where new age synthesizer melodies and the fuzzy vocal refrain of Kasi Seguin gentle dances above an Afro-flecked, mid-tempo groove.

Throughout the EP, French mixes electronic and acoustic instrumentation, drawing together musical elements from a myriad of styles to create sumptuous new fusions.
It's particularly evident on superb closer 'Belle Isle Sunsets', where colourful synth motifs, eyes-closed guitar riffs and Mediterranean-warm chords wrap themselves around a gently pulsating, impressively layered groove.
Like the rest of the EP, it's perfectly pitched, expertly executed and wonderfully atmospheric.

New York native David Berrie makes a welcome return to the Hot Creations fold this April. The latest recruit to join as a resident for Jamie Jones' Paradise night in Ibiza, Berrie gifts us with three heavy hitting tracks, sure to set dance floors alight across the globe.

Airplane To Madrid opens the EP with its steady groove and funk elements, underpinned by a tribal drum and old school vocal hook that culminate in a jazz influenced breakdown. On Talkin' Bout, Berrie utilises a fast-paced beat and bouncy, ghetto-house style vocals that lead into another intriguing breakdown. Closing the EP, the bassline of Acid Souls gurgles beneath the female vocal building to an insatiable drop before plummeting back into the heady bass.

Raised in the musical melting pot of New York, David Berrie draws influence from a variety of genres to create his signature style. He's released on a number of prominent labels including Cuttin' Headz, Play It Say It and Hot Creations. Last year's collaboration with Jamie Jones broke into the Top 5 in the Beatport charts and his music has been supported by some of the industry's biggest names such as Carl Cox, Marco Carola, The Martinez Brothers and Seth Troxler. 2019 is set to be a big one for Berrie, with a residency for Paradise at DC10 and fresh music due to be released.

For the latest 12" on his self-titled label, Malin Genie teams up with Swedish producer Per Hammar for a sturdy four-tracker that shows off the duo's knack for crafty, rolling house music. "Lijnbaan Dubb" has a full spread of rich synthetics propelling it forward through a subtly dubbed landscape of nocturnal atmospherics, while "Fosie" needles in on crooked sound design for a playful, minimal trip-out. "Scania" has a more rattling, techno-minded framework to carry liquid shimmers of chords, and then Samuel Andre Madson comes on board for a remix that injects a little old-skool Chicago romanticism into "Scania."

Silent Season welcomes Russian producer Toki Fuko to the roster for this special versions edition double 12"" of deeper soundscapes. Toki Fuko's music can be described as mechanical signals structured in a hypnotic substance with a dub techno groove and rhythm sequences. The Spring Ray vinyl edition features 4 versions of Spring Ray, each unique in their own sense. The versions were specially mastered and cut by Stefan Betke of Scape Mastering. Deep hypnotic dub techno.

Second full length album from Katsunori Sawa on The Weevil Neighbourhood.

With recent releases on Opal Tapes or Stone Tapes (together with Chafik Chennouf) as well as various remixes and single contributions still in the pipeline, Katsunori Sawa's schedule is already quite busy for this year.
Since he debuted under his current moniker on The Weevil Neighbourhood in 2013, honing his skills over the years as a solo producer as well as in collaboration projects like Steven Porter (with Yuji Kondo) or Bokeh (with Anthone), it's fair to say that the Kyoto based artist already left a lasting imprint on contemporary Industrial Techno and the darker side of Dub. Katsunori Sawa is a name to remember.

Lefhanded Fuqs is the second of Bjarki triptych of LP's to be released this year. Follow the stunning '' released in June this year, Lefhanded Fuqs and Æ are being released over the coming months and represent a snapshot of his archive, selected by Nina Kraviz for Trip. The tracks were produced months ago, years ago, or in the case of the last track just a couple of weeks ago. What began with 30 tracks are now 41. The three LPs aren't albums in the traditional sense - the concept being to release the contents of his burgeoning hard drives. The music might fit together like an album, but Bjarki doesn't see it that way. It's essentially an archive that sounds like an album but none of the music was made with this in mind.Lefhanded Fugs is released this September to feverish anticipation. Whilst naming one of the tracks that he made with a left hand for the LP, Bjarki was so left-handed that he completely misspelled it. But in honour of all the left-handed people making mistakes because of tools made only for right-handed people, he decided to keep it. The LP contains the more experimental material from the archive, including one the first film scores he produced several years ago for a story he wrote himself.
Bjarki is from Iceland. Born and raised. Despite the fact that Bjarki is known for making extremely powerful dance floor tracks he doesn't seem to belong to any particular genre. Something this triptych of LPs demonstrates very well. His music is at times cinematic and there's a story behind each track. Bjarki's music always has something to do with him personally, but he'd rather the listener lose themselves in the music than pay much attention to the man behind them. Either on a record or to one of his ever evolving live sets.

From the artist:

"pootek" - Paul (Solpara) and I laid down the majority of this track one November night in Berlin. We lived in the same dorm in university nearly 10 years ago and bonded over weird electronic music. We hadn't seen each other in a while and had never made music together. We got so rowdy making this my neighbour who I had never seen before came up to complain we were being too loud.

"whendialupbecomeform" - I was thinking a lot about dial-up modems, especially after I heard a Lana Del Rey song that featured that sort of sound in the background, whether intentionally or not. I woke up in the middle of the night and laid down the main arrangement in a couple of hours. I later added some vocals, random sounds from freesound.org, and what might be described as "dreamy pads."

"dosheepdreamofandroidelectrics" - I don't think the song has much to do with Philip K. Dick. I wanted to make something that someone could introspectively zone out to, maybe under the influence of a plant, either at home or at the club.

Re-issue of Mark Broom's Drift and Flip Flop tracks originally released on Mosaic in 1998. Remastered and adjusted versions. Previously unreleased dub mixes of both tracks included as well as two previously unreleased electro tracks found on the original master tapes!

Second release from New York based label/party Frendzone. This compilation features two tracks from elusive label stalwart Ames Henry (with Paul Kav on A1.) + an experimental tech- breakbeat composition from seasoned Drum & Bass producer Fanu. Finished with straight up hardcore junglism from label veteran Octo Octa.

The 20th release from Nina Kraviz's seminal imprint is an homage to some of the most uncompromising manifestations of electronic music imaginable. Tracing sub-cultures from the 90s to the present day, 20 interrogates the boundaries of tempo and form via hardcore, gabber, acid techno and ambient. A mix of unreleased material and essential gems, the ten-track compilation visits regulars, esoteric masters and relative newcomers on a voyage to the extremities of a global underground.

20 continues the tradition of gatefold double EPs as a conceptual album. All of the tracks are selected around a particular story, a trip, and presented as a continuous sonic landscape. All of the tracks are structured in a way that they can be mixed one with another an endless amount of times making a continuous loop, a trip, that needs only end when the party stops. Kraviz works without release dates or deadlines, enabling her to achieve a certain sound bank to shape the story, unmasking the thoughts and unraveling like a dream.

The ever productive Conforce returns to one of his key home labels for another exploration of his prolific deep sea techno sound. His Haedron EP has a firm dance floor focus, designed to propel you ever further forwards. Hi hats glisten like light beams penetrating the deep ocean, topped off with some timeless dub techno vibes that mixes Basic Channel with Planet E to mesmeric effect.

The material featured on this EP was recorded in Berlin over the course of a legendary week-long exploit, the kind you read about at the movies. The music is a marriage of dark synth hooks and atmospheric sound design resulting from extensive Berghain-monitored brain damage. It is very fortunate that both artists were wearing their Twin Turbo friendship bracelets at the time or they may have never even gotten past the door. In terms of raw intelligence, the top one percent of those reading of this will have picked up on the cues that these tracks are techno. The rest have nothing to feel bad about. Our hope is that both communities can work out their cognitive differences on the dance floor every night for the rest of their lives. Our business model depends on it.

Radio Slave's R-Time returns with three unreleased Fabrice Lig productions from the vaults spanning over two decades.

Scanning through his discography, Fabrice Lig's reputation for producing some of house and techno's most brilliant music is indisputable. R&S, Subject Detroit, Planet E, F-Communications, Versatile, KMS... these are only a handful of respected labels which the Belgian artist has released on. Lig now joins Matt Edwards' prestigious vinyl reissue label with three never-released tracks showcasing a sound and style that have withstood the test of time.

'The Meeting' is the most recent track on the package, delivering glorious enveloping plucks over shining string chords before Lig's signature funky melodies glide amidst jazzy cymbal rides.
On the flip, 'Nebula 101' is a retro minimal track recorded in 2015 featuring a wonky rhythm, Shruti synth bass and piercing Roland Sh101 stabs until the high octane 'Noise Revolt', which was recorded in 1995, concludes the package with thundering 909 drums, echoing snares and relentless Sh101 synths.

Having worked with L.I.E.S, Technicolour, Resident Advisor and Dekmantel, Florian Kupfer is no newbie to the House and Techno heads.
Here he delivers a 4 track Ep for Axe On Wax sub-label Axe Traxx full of hypnotic, club ready dusty house tools!
One not to miss!

He has had releases on Ciao Records, and definitely a great addition to the Tone dropout family, and of course our main man Dawl , who needs no introduction,contributes to make up the TDO side.

Then side B , we welcome Alphonse and Jamie Blanco from LHT as well as many other fine labels.

Another great addition to our family. Then we have Jamie Blanco another real talent, who has been on the scene a long time with multiple releases and several guises with other labels and partners. Living in Melbourne, Australia at present, which shows how our sound has stretched across the world .

side A.

Track 1 - DAWL - Nebulon - Dawl kicks off this E.P with a Bleep tactic , bass driven break beat banger. typical dawl style now, that we all love and has made him such a star, at Tone Dropout Records.After the bleeps dawl adds some stabby warehouse synths , then kicks the driving bass back in with the breaks and bleeps, and a cheeky little sample from some obscure cartoon. not to be named ha ha . A real banger , in dawl tradition.

Track 2 - Daif - Soberman - then goes our first top gun, Daif comes at ya with a mesmerising bass line that sets the tone for this dance floor filler. Then come the bleeps and the strings in and out , highlighted by a soaring break beat ,and fat basslines . this man is hot talent , watch out .

Track 3 - Ascot/WW - Fifa98 - Here we go top gun number two, our new secret weapon Ascot/WW, offers ya a breakbeat and old rave synth , before breaking down with a rewind into a detroit bassline and haunting strings and bleeps, a real journey, and very cleverly produced another dance floor filler, and a man to watch out for.

side B.

Track 1 - Alphonse - Direct Transient - Alphonse kicks off with the sounds of the rain forsest , quickly backed up by a soaring james brown sampled break beat a real stomper, and some sweet strings, before banging into an amazing acid line with james brown stab rolling through.Ever changing ,with a great breakdown, really showing off his production skills.

Long time kept in the pipelines, we are proud to welcome the discreet, although agitated newcomer Legion 808 conveying his debut vinyl release on the label. Composed while stuck in some kind of hallucinated trance, his mind and body cemented behind the four walls of his Parisian apartment, the Frenchman ultimately unleashes a scathing first entry into his discography. Taking the shape of a vicious six track mini-album, long brewed with ruthless humor, oozing fever and nervous breakdowns, 'Tombouctou Crisis' feels as vigorous as a slap in the face. Making up for some of the best industrial bedroom music we've heard as of late, he always manages to find his way back to the surface throughout the many layers of bizarre grooves and caustic humor, zealous snare attacks and strange nursery rhymes. Only to uncover a depressurized atmosphere of sorts; from which a strong smell of burned asphalt never gets off your clothes.

Adventurous, abstract, and deeply up-for-it rave music from Code Walk, a young Danish duo picked up for Peder Mannerfelt Produktion’s first release of 2018

With ‘Distance’ the Copenhagen residents showcase a diverse brief to their sound, equally prone to take in elusive 150bpm electro oddities as mutant breakbeats and bullish techno, and all with a knowing push’n pull of abstraction and function that’s always been key to the strongest techno music since day one.

In six diverse parts the pairing work on, off and around the beat with varying levels of agility. They’re most thrilling when they go fast, far-out and near-weightless, as with the mercurial flow of opener ‘Distance’, and again with the scudding ghetto-tech bounce of ‘Red’ and their smudged power ambient ace, ‘The Same As Me’. But while those cuts are all eminently danceable, the other tracks are perhaps more conventionally ‘floor-focussed, from the flinty breakbeat and noise jag of ’Touch’, to the soggy bass drum march and sci-fi synth strokes of ‘Streak’, and the squared-off, cranky, Surgeon-esque buck of ‘Monitor’.

Following Code Walk’s 2017 debut ‘Doubler’ for CPH’s Ex Local/F12 labels, ‘Distance’ unpackages bold new angles to the duo’s style certain to spark fevered interest from explorative techno DJs and dancers.

The long awaited follow-up to volume 1... another Belgian inspired Hardcore Jungle Techno EP by Ron Wells. Neck breaking, thumping darkness guaranteed!

Don't returns with a brand new Various artists EP and the first in a new series that takes over where the 'Rumpus Room' records left off.. "Square Meal" is designed to present to you a nutritionally balanced Techno record, food for thought as well as for feet.. containing absolutely no artificial constituents but plenty of roughage and active ingredients !

The A side contains 2 heavy bangers, and the B side, 2 slices of amazingly quirky and rocking 'Wonky style' Techno. Man of the moment Joe Farr steps up and serves us a heavy one, Dense, big boned Techno music that manages to morph into Gabba and back out again. This one is causing a stir whenever it's played and fits perfectly with the Don't ethos of extreme idea implementation! Next up Cursor Miner returns to the label with a demented banger that has been road tested extensively during his live sets and comes with a health warning.. Flip the record over for 2 slices of beautifully freeform wonky Techno, the first coming from newcomer - Sane and the second from Don't veteran 'Edit'...

Martyn Hare took a break for a while but he is well and truly back now with his Emetic DNA label firing out the heavies and a track on Perc Trax among other releases up and coming. Here he drops a solo EP for Don't featuring the complete ace that is 'Zero Tolerance', backed with two other snarling and intense Techno monsters and complimented by a solid and straight up banger of a remix from (ir)regular Don't face Paul Birken !!

“Introducing COSMIC RESIDENTS v. 1, the first in an ongoing compilation series from Cosmic Resonance Records. This series will showcase emerging talent from Toronto’s underground creative electronic music scene.

This first edition features local favourites and Cosmic Resonance residents Radiant Aura Faculty (aka Raf Reza), KOREA TOWN ACID and Hemingway along with (and making their vinyl and Cosmic Resonance debut) Body Butter, WeTurnToRed and Smoke & Shadows.

On the A-side, Hemingway kicks things off with Astralnauts, a deep, dubbed out boogie breakbeat burner dedicated to explorers of the astral plane featuring fellow label don Chris Evans on rhythm guitar. Radiant Aura Faculty (aka Raf Reza) takes us even deeper with the mystical 'Cid Pit Riddim', a slamming 707 acid bender sure to melt any dance floor. Things get slippery with Body Butter’s debut single ‘Lights In The Hallway’, a timeless operatic pop opus featuring Neil Rankin (aka Burt Sugar), Chris Evans (aka Mr. Bliss) and Hemingway behind the board.

On the flip side, things heat up with Shamanta Chandran’s project WeTurnToRed (recently releasing their debut EP on ORO Records), featuring the progressive modular techno odyssey 'Warm Winter', an escape from Toronto’s long and tumultuous blizzards. Emerging from the Mahogani Forest, Korea Town Acid reinterprets Hemingway’s emotional ode to the jazz aesthetic 'Blue Notes' with her trademark cerebral rhythms and a masterful bassline that elevates the original to new heights. Closing it off, we have an amazing collaboration between Curtis Clark (aka Smoke of Lab.our Music) & Em Zy (member of Nikki Fierce) called Smoke & Shadows with their stellar debut single Convincing Thoughts that features Em Zy’s hazy vocal emanations amidst a backdrop of mystical reverberations and a dark, powerful groove.”

Obstruction EP

The beginning of this 2nd chapter in the 7 part series, has taken the soul of monster producers ‘Jam & Lewis’ and sent it down an electronic rabbit-hole... old-school and future-school come together, in what is to be Karapapak’s signature sound.

In total contrast, the flip side dives directly into 90’s rave - unrelenting and ideal for those hard and fast sets.

Limited to 200 copies, pressed on white vinyl + maxi picture

Another sure-shot legit reissue from the Easy Streets vaults. Unbelievably from 1990, this forward thinking slab of dark and moody breakbeat techno courtesy of Open Mind (aka Joey Beltram) hits the spot everytime! Harking back to the glory days of euro-techno, pre-jungle, the dark-side and all in-between.... Need we say more? The eerie atmospheres, epic synth breaks and stuttering drum machine programming combines to create the super heavy sound that early Beltram is known for and 'The Trance' is one record that any serious techno or electro lover will need in their bag. Rare as hen's teeth, hard to cop and a total under the radar classic, 'The Trance' is here again, and it's not taking any prisoners!

As we said before, this monster dropped on Easy Street in '90, and has been caned by the most discerning of DJ's and diggers across the galaxy ever since. Every home should have a copy of this, no collection is complete without it. A record that will never go out of style & will always do the requisite damage on any dance-floor it's dropped on. Essential.

Shout out to Easy Street, %100 legit re-issue, re-master & re-press from the original tapes, essential wax!

Two Bleep-tastic masterpieces re-mastered from a lost DAT tape, courtesy of this
infamous producer AKA Silent Witness. This is the first in a four-part series of
deadly rough club cuts.

The electro revival that had ushered in the new millennium was in full swing and this was to prove a seminal tune, being voted track of the year by Groove magazine. As if to prove a point the bass line still grabs you the moment it drops, while the laser-guided melodies feel as relevant today as they ever did. Now with this limited hand stamped whitelabel Dutch master Benny Rodriguez aka ROD steps up under his new Younger Rebinds alias with even more intensity than demonstrated on last year’s ‘Sound of Benny EP’ on Running Back. Picking apart the original with almost forensic attention to detail, he gives new life to each individual strand in the form of two exhilarating mixes that seem destined to leave their mark on dance floors around the globe for the foreseeable future. Remix one strips things down to the raw, dirty basics giving the phasing bass riff some real breathing space as the hook line slowly unfurls amid a flurry of filtered ADSR madness to create absolute havoc. A series of peaks and troughs ensue, as Rodriguez effortlessly toys with the crowd, frying the synapses and gorging on serotonin, as the mix motors relentlessly to its conclusion. Remix two replaces the precision of the first with a more freestyle approach that’s in one hell of a rush to get going. The bass line rips through the mix, hihats scurry toward the cavernous, arpeggiated breakdown and we’re drenched in reverb as the synths dovetail dangerously, paying homage to the hioctane energy of the original.

Re-issue of Bunker 004! Essential material from Unit Moebius.

Passport to an OBSCENELY DYNAMIC, contemplative dimension - “The Funnel” is a set of ancient imaginations in a stranglehold of electronics and steel factory atmosfears, originally composed for Radiophrenia by Wojciech Rusin and now gloriously pressed and presented by Glasgow based Akashic Records.
