2023 Repress

Marc Acardipane's Pitch-Hiker, originally released under Marc's Pilldriver alias, is without doubt one of the foundation tracks of European hardcore. From the moment it was released in 1995 it caused shockwaves with its stripped down, kick drum focused approach. Gone were the hoovers, sirens, breakbeats and vocal samples of that era's hardcore and instead a stark new minimalism emerged, focusing equally on the kick drum itself and the negative space and air around it.

Like all groundbreaking records it was soon followed by an endless stream of unofficial rip-offs, re-edits and remixes, none of which got close to the perfection of Marc's original. Now for the first time Pitch-Hiker gets officially remixed showing the level of trust Marc has in Perc Trax and Perc's own affection for PitchHiker and for Marc's enduring legacy as an electronic music innovator.

First up is Marc himself with his own take on his classic. Keeping the distinctive reverb soaked kick hits of his 1995 original mix he adds dive-bombing synths and scything hi-hats to increase the energy of the original mix without losing any of its dark charm.

Next label boss Perc adds more weight to the original's unmistakable kick drums, slowly building up the tension until his remix drops into the kind of noise assault not heard on Perc Trax since Tymon's devastating remix of Perc's own 'Hyperlink'. Kick drum specialists Ghost In The Machine step up next and work the original mixes' warping kick drums to the max. Updating and strengthening the track perfectly whilst keeping the sense of space that gave the original mix so much character.

Finally Sissel Wincent and Peder Mannerfelt team up for their Perc Trax debut following on from Perc's remix of 'Sissel & Bass' back in 2019. Flipping the script completely Sissel & Peder add multiple vocal hooks and fuse the original mix's 4/4 kick with half-speed broken beat rhythms to serve up a very different, but still successful interpretation of the original mix.

Russian electro specialist Sinitsin invites us deep into a dystopian world at war on his new EP for LDI Records. His four originals come backed with standout remixes from Umwelt and Privacy. Andrey Sinitsin hails from Moscow and started out playing drums in rock bands. But his love of experimentation and exploration took him into the world of electronic music where he now cooks up his own fusions of IDM, techno and electro. So far it has come on labels like Ukonx Recordings, Urban Connections and Raw Russian. He opens up his LDI Records debut with 'Perfect Killing Machine' a raw, textural electro track with grizzly bass and edgy synth lines that convey a sense of heading into battle. 'PKD' is a slick and slippery electro tune with sci-fi melodies and deep space atmospherics. The turbulent bassline again conveys that sense of intergalactic warfare while 'Across the Desert Sands' layers up coruscated bass, neck-snapping snares and deep, gurgling acid lines into a dynamic track that bristles with pent-up tension. The always fierce and analogue-loving Umwelt is an electro mainstay who runs four of his own labels including Shelter and Rave Or Die. His take on 'Across The Desert Sands' has caustic synths and brutal snares making for a dark and intense electro trip powered by an unrelenting bassline. Privacy then steps up, having established himself on labels like Klakson and Lobster Theremin. His remix is a straight-up banger, with bouncy rubbery drum programming and zipping synths racing into the future backed by smooth and serene chords. Last of all comes 'Ruined', a five-minute emotional masterpiece with melancholy chords and downbeat drums run through with a warped acid line that brings a subtle sense of hope. This is a cinematic electro EP full of adventure and invention.

With this record, PARALLX draws inspiration from early 2000 techno mixed with bits of EBM, infusing his tracks with a powerful, nostalgicially futuristisc sound that is both familiar and fresh. The production is impeccable, with a level of detail and nuance that is a testament to PARALLX's experience and expertise.

This is a Double LP Gatefold Silver plate !

Bacchus Harsh is the alias of Melbourne based multi-disciplinary artist Christian Bishop. Predominantly known in international music circles as Australian breakcore pioneer Xian, Bishop has expanded his already widescreen musical horizons to embrace an even broader creative cosmos under this new alias. Bacchus Harsh is the sonic embodiment of occult-themed electronics and deconstructed club music. De-territorializing exotica, occult psychedelia and industrial techno with polyrhythms and distorted blast beats, Bacchus Harsh confuses the dance floor.

Caveat Tumultum is an expansive double LP of icy post-breakcore industrial heaviness, where hallucinogenic cinematic atmospheres collide with sample-driven mania and complex mechanical rhythms. The resulting album is a 60-minute masterclass in foreboding electronic production, dystopian sonic manipulation and the thrillingly visceral experience of true underground party music.

»Italia Synthetica 1981-1985« represents the musical mutation that occurred after the post-punk hangover gave way to more frigid emotional shores, in-line with the synth-wave moment that was sweeping Europe and the white cliffs of Albion. This scene flourished in Italy between 1981-1985, and the musicians that came out of it are still revered today (particularly in the US).

Robotic rhythms and intuitions that, besides sharing common ground with the electronic movements that had come before, also knew how to fill up the dancefloor. Featuring four previously unreleased tracks by Der Blaue Reiter, along with tracks by Modo, Actor's Studio, and La Maison, as well as the still fresh sounding contributions by true pioneers of the genre Neon and Naif Orchestra. Also features Ein-st-ein, Scortilla, Eurotunes, Oh Oh Art, and 2+2=5 featuring Paolo Mauri.

Soft Crash is the collaborative project of two Italo Body Music trailblazers: BITE founder – Phase Fatale, and one of the label’s protagonists – Pablo Bozzi. United by a mutual passion for a particular melancholic yet sensual approach, and a sound that combines influences of synthwave, EBM, Italo and techno, the two have proved themselves to be a perfect match with ‘Spritzkrieg’ (2020) – their first EP on BITE.

This time, Soft Crash present their first long player ‘Your Last Everything’. The album further expands the Italo Body Music palette into electro, acid house, bleep, hi-nrg, and IDM. Each of the eight tracks on the LP sounds layered and intricate, with a variety of interactions between different technical elements and intertwining melodies that reference high production methods from the 80s and 90s turned contemporary.

The album centers itself around themes of dystopian cyberpunk and surreal cinematics. It looks to invoke emotion in cold and mechanical elements, making it feel like an organic new chapter in the duo’s ongoing exploration of the relationship between technology and the body.

‘Your Last Everything’ comes together in a sci-fi-like dramatic journey into another universe, juxtaposing internal conflicts of good and evil, creation and destruction, victory and defeat. The album cover features artwork by John Rohrer and logo by Autopsia (both Berlin-based queer artists). The cover visually completes the LP, capturing the feeling of losing and finding oneself in between the cyberworlds.

'Dreams In Splattered Lines' verschmilzt die 25-jährige DIY-Elektronik von Wolf Eyes mit der avantgardistischen Sensibilität von Fluxus und dem Granit des tristen Lebens im Mittleren Westen. Das Ergebnis ist eine surreale Traumlandschaft aus verwirrenden Klangcollagen, in der Hitsongs in Terrarien aus Klangflora und dezimierter Fauna verwandelt werden.

13 verwirrende Erzählungen, jede eine unvorhersehbare Reise durch unterirdische Welten, eine klangliche Reise der in sich selbst gefalteten Realität.

Known for a series of beautiful records released on some of the best labels of the past years (Comeme, Dark Entries, Cititrax, Pinkman), Romanian producer and DJ Miruna Boruzescu aka Borusiade knows how to create ethereal tracks, somewhere between post-wave, techno and industrial vibes.

"Purge", the new EP for Tripalium Corp, is about heart-break in forced isolation, when the only way to stay sane is purging through music and lyrics. From the 80s synth of "Let Go" to the experimental ten-minutes-trip "Haunted Evolution", these five tracks are talking about of one's coping systems in extreme emotional situations, hope and power to move on and last but not least, learned lessons and empowerment.
