Techno Vinyl New Releases - News

Welcome to the long awaited 5th vinyl output of HueHelix. This time, we focus on Ryuji Takeuchi, who brings 4 versatile 'factors' to complete the 'Renaissance Artistique' EP. Factor A is no doubt the most straight techno style banger, which Ryuji himself has been dropping in a peaktime of his every set at gigs in Berlin, Rotterdam, Osaka and more, that always takes audience to another place. Factor B shows a strong influence from EBM, noise, industrial music, which can be a starter of a set, with mad and strong break before its peaktime. Factor C is for sure the strongest and hardest track in this EP, with high BPM with crazy acid synth melody. Factor D closes the EP with percussive and synthy aspects. This EP really indicates how Ryuji has evolved for his entire career and where he's heading to. Definitely the one not to miss. Please keep your eyes and ears open, HueHelix never stops.

The Death of Rave are gassed to present the 2nd vinyl release of roiling, computerised No Wave by
exciting pan-European duo, N.M.O. Under the mantra - As Strict As Possible - their 'Tropicalyptic
Excursions' combine militant snares and amorphous SuperCollider shapes in disciplined
dancefloor arrangements, p'raps best compared with a melted hybrid of Powell's cranky engines
and EVOL's mutant rave signals dosed with Low Jack swagger.
They're dead strange, semi-organic dance creatures, stripped to the bare essentials of shifty
rhythm and biting tone, bristling with a concentrated energy that belies their hypnotic, body-
scattering effect on the 'floor.
Without resorting to overly masculine tactics or conventional structures, they carve a path from
kinky, pendulous percussion and grinding globular bass squelch laced with computer gremlins in
the title track, to the bashy, percolated jag of 'Talkingabouttalking' with its metal-tearing build-up,
and over to the whooping industrial bounce of 'Zaragoza Variations', cut loud and clattering for the
B-side by Matt The Alchemist' Colton.
Like the duo's striking 'Nederlandse Maatschappij Ontwikkeling' 12' and 'Dominant Akkord'
cassette for Barcelona's Anòmia label, this 12' is a refreshing inversion and diversion of dancefloor
strictures - getting down with a wickedly raw, awkward and freaky rave flex. If you ever get
the chance, make sure to check their aerobic live shows for a radical take on contemporary live
electronic performance.

This is industrial techno time.... Bloody hard noises and crazy progressives beats... Insane and dirty mediums !

RAAR is deeply proud to present the first full length album from label co- founder Maelstrom, entitled "Her Empty Eyes". Both an evolution of the producer's rich history and an intellectual departure from everything that has preceded it, "Her Empty Eyes" is a work that is uncanny, challenging and meditative.
Continuing upon the cross-media mission of RAAR, the LP is in fact the outline of a sonic novel. Maelstrom describes:
"As a kid I was a voracious reader. I used to live in stories. I used to go to sleep dreaming I'd wake up inside one of them. Sometimes I still do, and this album has been recorded inside one of these dreams.
During the last 12 months, my music started to become the soundtrack of an imaginary novel taking place between 1936 and 1939 in Spain.
The novel depicts the life of Marina, a news photographer covering the war during these 4 years, meeting John Dos Passos and Ernest Hemmingway at "Hotel Florida" in Madrid, Georges Orwell and Buenavaentura Durruti on the frontline, or anonymous volunteers of the International Brigades in Barcelona.


We follow her investigating the death of Jose Robles, a Spanish
intellectual who was allegedly killed by members of the soviet secret police lead by Alexander Orlov, also believed to be responsible for the torture and death of Andres Nin, leader of the POUM, during Barcelona's "May Days" of 1937.
While looking into the murder, Marina keeps on covering the war for international magazines, travelling with the Lincoln Brigade during the Battle Of Jarama or with Spanish civilians fleeing Malaga by the road as bombs fall and planes strafe the ground with machine-gun fire. The story ends with the exile of hundreds of thousands of Spanish refugees across the mountains and the French border in the winter of 1939, and with the death of Marina. The album's title refers to our heroine's untimely demise, and the evidence of what was captured in her empty eyes, burned forever into the film in her precious Leica.
This is not a metaphor nor an essay, this is the outline of a story. It's the listener's place to make sense of it. The context is a civil war. The characters are a photo-reporter, famous writers and anonymous heroes, and my music is its soundtrack."
Recording Process:
« My recording method has drastically changed since I started experimenting with Milton H. Erickson's self hypnosis techniques about a year ago. I went from overthinking every part of the recording process multiple times over, resulting in dozens of versions of each of my tracks, to a state where thinking wasn't part of the equation anymore. Self hypnosis is quite impossible to describe - more than anything, it's a way to fully exist in the present. After a few weeks of experimentation, it became possible for me to record tracks in one take, without feeling any urge to refine or rework them. I would switch on the studio, work on a sound palette, and then press play and record, every day ».
Rather than focusing on club bangers, Maelstrom depicts a future of techno that is intellectual, historical, spiritual and emotional.

Further departing from both the cinematic abstraction of 'Piteous Gate' and the hectic drums of 'Damaged Merc', Berlin producer M.E.S.H's new full-length, 'Hesaitix', is marked by its hyper-ornamented rhythms and a sense of pensive, moonlit spaces.

The atmosphere has shifted, the radical deconstruction of previous releases has given way to subtler interventions, building new structures in strange territories. Shifting from the meditative to states of manic unease, Hesaitix is an unnerving injection into both the social space of club music and the interior space of digital audio fantasy.

How did I become so stupid

A sound can be both formless and over-rendered, like a boneless but fleshy hand from a life drawing class.

What agent could set these broken sounds in motion

A laugh behind an evil curtain. A drummer that's cool and grotesque, a detuned siren. A brushfire under a full moon.

Recorded in Berlin and Umbria, Hesaitix sees Janus resident and PAN staple M.E.S.H. firmly engaged in a kind of sonic world building, a place where the unconscious and the alien intersect.

Planet Rhythm teams up with Rotterdam techno operation TH Tar Hallow and releases a collection of tracks by artists that have frequently appeared on the cult label. Deep down westcoast electronics by respected artists such as Klankman, Charlton, labelboss Thanos Hana and Rhyw. Klankman opens up this 4-track VA with the ominous "Can Not Use that Command On Overlapping Selections". Berlin based Rotterdammer "Charlon" follows up with the heavy arps and outgoing drums of "Profiler". Thanos Hana opens up the B side with the tough techno cut "The Injury Pattern" and berlin based "Rhyw" closes down the varied slice of vinyl with the moving "MKFBTB".

Bestial Burden, the previous album by Margaret Chardiet's Pharmakon project, focused on the disconnect between mind and body, looking at the human as an isolated consciousness stuck inside of a rotting vessel. For Contact, she wanted to look at the other side of the spectrum - the moments when our mind can come outside of and transcend our bodies. In trance states, music and the body are used to transcend the physical form and make contact with some outside force. Chardiet decided to structure the compo­sitions of each side of Contact after the stages of trance: preparation, onset, climax, and resolution.

Formed in 1997, and inaugurated that year with a split 12' from new-comers and label founders, Solvent and Lowfish, this year Suction Records celebrates it's 20th anniversary with the re-introduction of their famed Snow Robots series of compilations. While originally started as a North American answer to UK electronix labels like Rephlex, Skam and Warp Records, a sound that is still a staple of the current Suction Records catalog, Suction's sound has also swerved into new territories, reflecting our love of dark '80s electronic music - synthpop, EBM, and beyond.... Snow Robots Volume 4 features an international array of artists, from Suction Records mainstays like Digital Poodle, June, Celldöd, and Ceramic Hello (with their much sought-after 1982 vocoder anthem), to label-favourites appearing on Suction Records for the first time: Beau Wanzer, Morah, and one of Skanfrom/Sleeparchive's lesser known aliases, Civil Defence Programme.

Das sinistre Quartett Fuckhead sitzt wieder im Tourbus, um den Karren im bald 30. Jahr des segensreichen Bestehens mit kontrollierten Exzessen so richtig in den Dreck zu fahren. Alsdann kommen die schmutzigen Männchen Bruckmayr, Jöchtl, Kern und Strohmann in Netzunterhosen zu Dir, um ihren neuen Tonträger "Dislocation" zu präsentieren. Es dröhnt ein irrer Mix aus Bass Musik und Lärm Rock. Ungelenkes Getanze im Vorzimmer, Vandalismus. Die Männchen stören die Ordnung, wühlen in Deiner Schmutzwäsche, rühren an Deinem Unbewussten, sprechen Dir aus der Seele, damit "es auch Dir einmal besser geht!". Das Plattencover ist ein großer Augmented Reality Trigger. Fremde Avatare übernehmen Dein geliebtes Smartphone, Chaos in der Filterblase. Die Situation ist katastrophal, aber nicht ernst! "Dislocation", die akustische Abrissbirne in der Ikea-Sachzwangswohnung, jetzt mit modernem Augmented Reality Cover!

'We are doing something different from the traditional original/remix format in order to bring something different to music creativity.'


The artists on CAST 005 donated their time, energy and talent in order to create a very diverse and memorable release. If you know anything from the artists listed, you no doubt understand their capabilities and with the release of CAST 005, these capabilities shine through. Take a listen for yourselves and let the music make the impression, not our words.


CAST 005 brings Techno, Noise, Experimental, Industrial and Breakbeat sounds together. Each of the artists have been very busy with touring schedules as of late. What you hear is the vision of 4 artists working together, but independently from across the globe to bring you varied, yet cohesive interpretations of their sound as a whole.

Industrial and noisy Hardcore, offering clean banging bass and a cretain minimalism that could be linked up to some oldchool tribe extreme musics... First full EP for this excellent musician who can jungle with noises grindingsl as if they were acid sounds !

Minimal hardcore and bloody fat hardfloor... minimistic and loud at bass. A bloody good combination to be played with the Radiation Des Sdillons 01:)

From 210 to 248 BPM hardcore speedcore,a pure oldschool environment, melting gabber tricks and industrial sounds... masterpiece

John Cohen aka Dead Fader first arrived on the label in 2016, with It Works 1 - a brace of warping, high energy electronic music compositions that while largely unclassifiable in genre, maintain a gloriously vibrant, emotive sensibility that owes much to early IDM excursions, and the more abstract tenets of the Krautrock genre. That said - the artist cites anything from Kanye West to Bach and back again as informing the decidedly experimental and potentially confounding work - and his latest offering for the Milan based label continues to riff on this open ended mesh of influence to great effect. The original material is buoyed by a formidable remix package, featuring Downwards affiliate JK Flesh - who turns in a caustic reinterpretation of FYI; Roly Porter of Vex'd and Tri Angle fame, who takes on Raw Food; and Planet Mu's Konx-Om-Pax, who's reimagining of Life Cycle closes out proceedings. It's an admirable line up, in keeping with the aesthetic concerns of Cohen's excellent LP - and the chosen artists turn in respectful but wholly personal work - making for an excellent addition to growing Parachute discography. PARACHUTERECORDS.

Industrial Techno powerfull EP. These four Non-stop 4/4 kickerz will destroy teh dancefloor for real !

* Gilgamesh was an ancient hero who stood in the middle during the conflict between the good and the bad side.
The Epic of Gilgamesh is an epic poem from ancient Mesopotamia. Dating from the Third Dynasty of Ur
(circa 2100 BC), it is often regarded as the first great work of literature. The record is split up into
2 moods. There is "fire" on the A-Side and "water" on the B-Side.

A1 -
Might remind of a wellknown homework tune by a french duo combined with the quirky tempest of an old djax up
tune and the wonkyness of 1997´s sativae world. The tune was created with a magic machine from Sweden. Analog filter sweeps and bleeps are the crown of a solid bass fundament and are companied by synth leads which rather are guitars screaming into endless space of the club inside your head. this is the "survival of the twisted".

A2 - Saphrax: vocoders on top of your idm beat fundament and drum and bass style reece basslines
which are faded and cut in each other. a quick rollercoaster trip

A3 - Part of the "Dunkel" concept album which is loosely spread over various records. Dunkel35 is a techno tempest with another warhammer 40 k allusion. The listener experiences metallic frequency modulation effects, a tempest of sound with almost hearable promises of bass and the secrets of the unconsious rave while we travelling through the warp . Phasers, Pan effects and choirs from beyond make transform the overall image.

B1 - Underworld Metropolis: The title might already suggest it, the kicks and snare drums as well as the synth leads confirm it: Between submarine detroit like aquanautics and dutch electro experiments the track is a hommage to the
wonderfull works of a cologne producer who suddenly left this world in 2003.

B2 - Underworld Metropolis ( Clubmix ):
Same concept, less melodies, more hypnosis, glitch and
: fat. the clubversion of B1

Bubbling up from his post-everything cesspit, $hit & $hine cups another killer album boff to the grill of Diagonal with Total $hit!, his second LP and 3rd full release for Powell and Jaime Williams' indomitable imprint.
A rancid ruck of rock 'n roll and industrial entrails squeezed for sustenance and sploshed with classic '80s disco, Total $hit! is nothing if not a definitive Craig Clouse record, insistently playful, scatty and demented in equal measures, but with a couldn't care less attitude that's always refreshing and welcome around these parts.
Following his grindcore lash Teardrops for Riot Season, this one is a return to the heavy truckin' styles last heard on Everybody's A Fuckin Expert with Mego and Good White Good Green for Glasgow's Heated Heads, depositing nine examples of his nonchalant style at its most distended, unsettling and, funnily enough, its most funked-up and effective.
He makes a big entrance with the blind-drunk swagger of Hot Shovel trammelling rabid tribal drums, grunts and pitched voices in a febrile hot mess, before Chklt Shk possibly betrays his no f**ks attitude with some of his canniest, adroit tweaks applied to what sounds like Anthony Shakir and MMM fighting over the last cubicle after a plate of bad seafood, then it's back to twisted smiles and buckie-sloshing skank with the acrid disco nip of Long Island City.
The record's longest, murkiest section follows with the Jacko-shampling Dodge Pot dispensing a slimy hot streak of flatulent mongrel boogie that perhaps outstays its welcome, hence the entrance of two squabbling lasses who tell it where to go, which leaves us with a version of the recumbent coke standard White Horse ready for the knacker's yard, plus a trio of saltier, off-the-wrist jags that only serve to agitate and infect the sore he's been prodding at 'til this point.
Let's be fair: Total $hit! is not big or clever but, it is messy and fun, like the soundtrack to a lock-in at a boozer exclusively full of mad c*nts who were chucked out of every other place.

Inspired by life on the touring circuit, this EP takes its name from a night the producer spent in Sliema, Malta. Produced to mirror the frenetic movement of (night)life on the road, the album jumps violently between poles of darkness, familiarity, paranoia and comfort in the club.

Konstruktivists is nevertheless than Codex Empire ... this Industrial band is his originas...and the one from a bunch of other surprising things... like mebers of Whitehouse, Founders of Third Eye Foundation or publishers of Impulse... 80's Indsutrial mafia baby ! But still active. Record comes in a printed sleeve and poster and inserts etc... BIG UP !
