Ghettoplanet Classics From Hellboii's Vault. As Heard At The Legendary Dystopia Parties And On The Hague's Pirate Radio. Some Of His Best And Most Personal Recordings Of The Past 15 Years.

After his comeback album on Morphine in 2014, Sote marks his return to rhythm by taking part in Repitch's 10inch series with a banging two tracker extracted from his more than 20 years old unreleased archive. Neuroenhancer produced in 1995 is a heavy duty techno drilling machine, pairing an oldschool Mills like groove with a throbbing mass of modular synths. On the other side In Music I Trust''s main engine is an incandescent hardcore/jungle beat, haunted by spaced out vocals in the darkness. The track was produced in 1997 with friend 'Safar' a San Francisco based DJ/Producer, shortly after Sote s initial experiments with Jungle and Drum n Bass pre his Warp EPin 2002.

We welcome to the mighty Moustache records family: Kendal a french producer based in Toulouse. His 4 tracker hits Manifesto Ep bring us a dystopian italo vibe from the past, present and the Nofuture where the flesh merging with the machine. The A1 track called: Ultimo It's a tale about a world where jesus turns the water into proseco and the preacher jams on his 707 to bring new believers into italo disco church. A2: Profondo rosso: Humanity as gone. One spaceship drifts into space seeking the new promised land. Maybe this big red planet with its lush jungle. B1 Giallo Inferno: She put on her favourite blue velvet dress and her red lipstick. She's alone in the mansion. Black leather gloves is hidding in the dark B2 Corpo Meccanico: When Deckard chasing some fuckin renegade replicant over Los Angeles 2019 that what it turn up loud on his radio. Perfect OST for cyborg's killing spree. This in a great full colour sleeve and an even greater 12inch Artwork. Watch out for this cult italo disco dance classic. Gone is Gone!

Returning for his third appearance on Frigio, Maurizio Martinucci (aka TeZ, Most Significant Beat and permanent member of Clock DVA since 2010) introduces one of his darkest works to date. Forged in his studio/lab in Amsterdam, the Italian artist casts three works of industrial paranoia with none other than Clock DVA delivering a very special remix.

The same intensity, the same fevered energy that permeated Dusk, is plain to hear in this production. Pulsating drums are pierced by metallic groans and choking voices for the alienating assault that is “Amna.” Clock DVA take on this factory floor demon, soothing and reworking the original. Keys cascade against throbbing basslines and stuttering rhythms, vocals by Adi Newton taking the form of a poem that circles and swoops in a track of brimming with a primal force. Stalking chords introduce “Dene.” A lancing beat lashes a lone string, static and resonance building as layers of machine noise make their inhuman presence known. The end comes from the hull of an abandoned ship, or so it sounds. Aquatic echo swirls around a spread of sunken snares, shrieks and slicing through the crash and squeal of wrought iron. Primordial music from the mind of Pragma.

Dutch powerhouses Parrish Smith and Interstellar Funk team up for their debut collaboration on L.I.E.S. with a new four track ep. Striking up the perfect balance of both their signature styles, this record hits the sweet spot between metallic synthwave, slow beat industrial, and clanging EBM hybrids. The duo effortlessly weave together a sonic narrative with nods to the past but unmistakable emphasis on their ever expanding foward thinking future sound. Recommended!

Forgoing traditional melody and song-writing, Esker's distinctive sound focuses on the interplay between noise, texture and rhythm. Voitax is happy to present her stunning debut EP, which was assembled from various recording sessions over the past two years. Formerly a drummer and guitarist in various bands in Melbourne's noise scene, the influence of her past is evident in this record - a combination of processed guitar, mangled samples and bizarre, ghostly synthesis form a deep and complex sonic space. The effect of almost a decade in Berlin is just as clearly heard in the EP's thumping techno pulse. Wielded with a drummer's feel for timing and meter, phasing rhythms, crunching lo-fi percussion and thundering kicks provide a solid backbone. Having become absorbed in techno culture, this is her contribution.

Captivity is the next highly anticipated extended EP by Kush Arora aka Only Now, following a triptych of self-released output in 2019. Continuing the project’s ever evolving engagement with themes of time and existence, Captivity encompasses versatile synthesis, mutant kuduro, widescreen sound design, turbulent cold fronts of power ambient and melodic undertones of black metal.

The product of a two-year period in which Arora was contending with transitional shifts in his personal life, Captivity is a culmination of what the project has explored both in a prolific run of recent material and as a whole, across several years of time dilating, mind altering music.
 
Although shaped by adversity and corresponding sentiments of angst and insignificance, Captivity is pitched at total transcendence. Adopting a meticulous approach to production, a methodology which opens up almost every element to transformation and deconstruction, Arora generates forms which possess a sense of pointillist precision, as well as a keen psychedelic potency.
 
Despite consistency with his earlier output as Only Now, Captivity is nevertheless an indication of Arora’s ability to challenge internal and external assumptions. The introduction of new hardware – namely, the Nord Drum 3P synthesizer – as well as the incorporation of far-flung atmospherics – closing track ‘Clock Lust’ features field recordings from a trip to Kyoto – delivers fresh enterprise and experimentation, contributing to the expansion of a sound signature which remains as unpredictable and compelling as ever.
 
With the eponymous opener, Arora combines fathomless underworlds and riotous breakbeats. On ‘Mutants’ a hyper-kinetic onslaught of percussion, low-end and stray cut-ups of noise break out, building to a panorama of thunderous industrial firmaments. ‘Perpetual Slaughter’ maintains momentum with icy, ricocheting FX and concussive, tribal drums, and then unexpectedly shifts into a poignant outro which brings to the fore the enduring influence of black metal on the project. ‘Bound 2’ is cut with relentless sub-bass and rapid syncopation, resembling an abstracted form of juke music, something that could feasibly have been masterminded by Autechre. With the LP’s finale, ‘Clock Lust’, Arora presents a finale of transfixing 3D ritualism, the lone toll of a bell ringing out into a mesmeric emptiness.
 
Together these form a complete statement from Arora, illustrating the fertile and open-ended territories the Only Now project has arrived at after promising outings on Infinite Machine and Discrepant imprint Sucata Tapes. With Captivity Arora delivers a substantial highpoint and a profound voyage into the world of Only Now.

Second bite of the Rattleznake sub label from SolarOneMusic. This time from the young and fresh artist "Persona Non Grata" based in Stockholm. Beautiful relentless and brtual Techno from Sweden.

Powerful EBM tinged Techno cuts by Betek who's becoming one of the labels mainstay's. Junior Flutuante is opening up the vaults of Bernardo's harder and rougher work. After his succesor in 2018 with 'Discipline' ep we gladly welcome Bernardo back.

Sentiment of Callousness was written over a one-and-a-half year period of total collapse, characterized by disconnection between the world within and the perception of the world outside.

Each of the tracks embodies feelings experienced during this time - from dark to bright, sluggish to energetic, alive to dead, real to unreal, and the self to the other.

Global tracks is a mystery; browsing the name online gives nothing associated with the artist. All we really know is that Gothenburg is home base. Most points toward that this is Global Tracks first release and Hoga Nord Rekords are more than proud to be first out giving his/her music out.

With albums like 'Selected Ambient Works' by the Aphex Twin and cities like London and Sheffield as a ground for the sound, Global Tracks displays how breakbeats should sound in 2019. The music is mostly influenced by Jungle, but also by Footwork and Dancehall. The roots lie shallow but the phantom behind this music don't give up with trying to recreate the nineties straight up, instead he/she develops the legacy from all the best and most drug marinated DJ:s from England circa 1995.

Breakbeat has a new vanguard in this mysterious shadow crawler that we know almost nothing about, but rumor has it Global Tracks is locked up with the machines under ground somewhere in Vastra Gotaland in Sweden working on new broke up beats, ready to surface when the time is right for more, deep and ganja oozing dance music!

5 pure analog techno cuts. every little second of this release is banging tha shit outta yo neighbour's walls. USE WITH CAUTION!

counter-release by "falling apart" himself will follow on Gaja's label OPHISM soon...

Kicking off the VA is Magna Pia, one half of the power-duo Cassegrain. Combining a stomping kick with atmospheric sound design and an industrial-influenced lead, ‘Ina’ is a thoughtful peak-time weapon. Following on is one of Sweden’s underground mainstays, Sandra Mosh. ‘Paimon’ is a highly effective groove-led track that is synonymous with Mosh’s sound: hypnotic and driving.

Next up is Miller & Keane, consisting of Abstract Division’s Dave Miller and Damian Keane. ‘Foundation’ is a twisted warehouse tool that combines a frenetic, sticky analog lead with stomping percussion and an industrial snare. Closing the release is Brothers Black’s ’Childish’. Combining driving percussion with audio samples from one of the 00’s famous horror films, Childish is an unpredictable, memorable cut.

Wire Parasitism EP is inspired by the electronic music which was produced during the end of the 80's and beginning of the 90s by the likes of Richard H. Kirk, Psychic TV, Coil, Dave Campbell or Lagowski (to name a few). Walid El Barbir uses his unique producing & sampling skills to create contemporary and industrial sounding compositions out of found footage like occult documentaries, rave stabs or Emax sound-libraries. Walid El Barbir is a part of the collective Les Points based in Zürich, Switzerland. His art/music draws from 90's rave utopias, occultism, progressive & accessible frameworks as showcased at their offspace Mikro - a physical room which has no doors and opening times during exhibitions and raves - making an institution available to all social layers.
