Grebenstein - Strong Proud Stupid And Superior

Among Downwards' most recent wave of new flesh, Grebenstein emerged as one of the legendary label's most sullen mutants on a crushing, eponymous debut in 2014, and now
again with this highly stylish, unrepentant brace of drum 'n synth noise pressure. This one's a total killer, especially recommended if you're into HTRK, Raime or Fever Ray.
Depending what angle you survey it from, Strong Proud Stupid and Superior is either industrial techno trained by drill kids, neofolk drone, or the sound of machines coming to kill their human oppressors.
On the A-side Grebenstein harnesses the hollow-eyed, starkly detached vocals of Seefried in a signature, slow demonstration of detached Cold Wave, with a narrative arc that
encompasses intimate confession and paranoid internal impulses sounding something like like a petrified version of HTRK via Andrea Parker's classic Ballbreaker material.
The other two parts feature Joscha Bauer and are texturally more rich and aestehtically subdued, starting with the swelling drone discord of Grauer03, sounding like Cut Hands slowed down by 1000%, before inverting the aesthetic to a far more impending sort of stygian doom with the squashed bombast trudge of Grauer04.

Thrive - Nested Structure

Thrive

Nested Structure

12inchGRCR012
Great Circles
05.12.2016

Nested Structure is the first Great Circles release from artists outside of Philadelphia. THRIVE are Tetsuya Yoshida and Hitoshi Kojima. They both grew up in the North Kanto area of Japan. They first met at the club run by Tetsuya Yoshida called SOUND A BASE NEST, which is known as having the best sound system in the North Kanto area. In 2007, the duo started their DJ / Producing unit THRIVE. Previous releases have included a split 12" with

Keia Yano for Japanese label Struct, and recent solo releases by Hitoshi for Always Human Tapes and for his own label Ambivalent Deviation.

This record almost didn't happen! --- Tetsuya and Hitoshi were picking up Great Circles records in Japan and, having periodically communicated with each other about music, they sent us the Struct 12" to check out. While cleaning out the back of the car a few months later, the presumably empty record mailer was about to land in the recycle bin when we fortunately discovered a demo CD of unreleased THRIVE material inside. We drove around listening to it and week later we agreed to release a 12".

The music on the Nested Structure 12" is dark, foreboding, even outwardly threatening. It's hypnotic, textural and rhythmically complex.

Dronelock & Ontal - The Topics

A very limited vinyl sampler here for the forthcoming CD album 'The Topics'

Following recent singles 'Clusters (Remixes)', 'Continuum' and 'Parallax' Dronelock & Ontal join forces for the collaboration's biggest release to date - 'The Topics'.

Dronelock and Ontal's joint label venture Shadow Story is a base for the dark, industrial exploration of sound that all four corners of the British/Serbian double duo employ as their modus operandi.

2013 saw a trio of EPs from Bradford residents, Dronelock (aka Martin Cartledge and Alexander Church) on the revitalised Weekend World label, which gathered support from the likes of Surgeon, Lucy (Stroboscopic Artefacts), Lakker, Inigo Kennedy, Pearson Sound, Adam Beyer, Marcel Dettmann, Detroit Grand Pubahs and many more. As one might expect, techno provides the perfect sanctuary for their production ideas to manifest: ambient, ethereal soundscapes meeting sustained clusters of tones.

Last year saw Dronelock start the label, Shadow Story, a joint venture between themselves and Serbian duo Ontal (Boris Noiz and Darko Dekode). Forming an industrial techno/rhythmic noise project, Ontal (based in Subotica, Serbia) can be described as an uncompromising, hard and intense assault.

'The Topics' is a distillation of ideas captured and expressed by the foursome through the industrial and synthesized, the organic and the abstract. The tracks are produced primarily on analogue hardware with the sole intention to perform them live. This process allows freedom to experiment with the base level interaction between sound and music. As they say it's music which is about as far away from music as you can get before it stops being music!' music as you can get before it stops being music!'

Vatican Shadow - Media In The Service Of Terror

Dominick Fernow laces up his Vatican Shadow boots for the project's first set of drills since 2014 and one of its finest ever transmissions, trampling in the wake of his fierce new Prurient record Unknown Rains, for Hospital Productions.
Reflecting on a world much unchanged, even intensified since his last dispatch, Media In The Service of Terror works classic VS signatures measured with increased momentum and propulsive energy, divided into seven parts and imbued with that dramatic melodic arrangements that works beyond the club.
Stepping farther away from the 'floor, he's in scowling, contemplative form with Ziad Jarrah Studied Mathematics and at his best when working between spheres, as with the industrial reggaeton roil of Take Vows in both its versions, and particularly the pensile atmosphere of Interrogation Mosaic.
One of the best Vatican Shadow drops - bar none..

Manuel Di Martino - Raw Intentions Ep - One Sided

After the great debut of some month ago, Spectral Rebel is ready to return with another massive release, this time signed by a further coming up artist in the techno scene: Manuel Di Martino. Known for his leaning for an old school rugged way of interpret productions and sets, Manuel shows us his acidest side in a one-sided 12inch vinyl, accompanied by the new young revelation of our times, the composer, arranger and pianist Raffaele Attanasio, making this second release, an absolute masterpiece.
'Raw Intentions' isn't only the release title, but the perfect concise description of the entire incision. The original one starts with a simply running nocturnal rhythm hard and chary at the same time but, after a while, give off, almost as a surprise, its real soul, an incessant flooding river of acid stabs, angry bites which rain in a fluctuating progress inducing any individual on the dance floor to deal with an huge sharp wall of sound waves. Raffaele Attanasio put his sign on with an unique and nonpareil version, combining both his distinctive mark of piano artist and his 'raw' soul represented by his alias X501. Almost heard several times in his live sets, this work is recognizable for the mathematically combination of overdrived harsh kicks crossed by acid stabs, all broked suddenly by a melodically solo piano touch which puts you in a short deep dream. Finally 'V3' closes the EP as a digital bonus original track that confirms the acid taste of the release with an hammering pulsing drum kit worthy of the oldest techno tunes.

As conclusion, Act 63 is characterized by emotional melancholic melodies and brain-dance music, accompanied by succession of rousing rhythmic evolutions.

Ossa Di Mare - Heautoscopy

* Blackwater starts it's third cycle with it's ninth release with an EP from London based duo, Ossa di Mare. A record that has come from the dark internal depths of a carnal energy between the two artists that make up duo, constructed around the idea of hallucinogenic experiences induced by dimethyltryptamine. Each track relates to a understanding and connection throughout the experience.The EP opens with 'Heautoscopy' A hallucination in which one see's one's own body from a distance. A very intense piece with influences from psychedelic music and pitch dark tones all well balanced with a proper veteran approach.

* On the same side '5 - MeO' follows- A chemical compound within dimethyltryptamine that let's you experience a near death sensation. Calm and relaxed pad lead through the percussive sounds in an infinite story. The B side comes with first track 'Asphyxia' -to show the dark face of the Ep. The entire piece is expressing the condition arising when the body is deprived of oxygen, causing unconsciousness or death. Claustrophobic echoes and reverberated atmospheres for five minutes of deepness. 'Hypnagogia' - Is the experience of the transitional state from wakefulness to sleep: the hypnagogic state of consciousness, during the onset of sleep. Once again the main concept of the duo dominates into instruments, all well mixed and calibrated to the end. The Ep closes with Elle's remix of 'Asphyxia'. A perfect closing track, ethereal dark loop.

Luis Flores - Test Pattern

the Berlin based Techno imprint calls upon on one of Mexico's most reliable provider of unconventional, genre crossing electronic music. As usual, Luis Flores delivers his unmistakable trademark style with a minimal use of elements, a rich spectrum of textures and a dark, trippy dance floor pull. On 'Test Pattern", the man who actively helped Guadalajara, Mexico, to become a hot spot for electronic music, releases two outstanding original productions entitled 'Program' and 'de-Program". On the second track of the EP, a remix of 'de-Program' by Tommy Four Seven, CLR's core artist and consistent producer of exceptional Techno, picks up and accentuates the slow burning, hypnotic vibe of the original and takes the listener on a deep and exciting sonic exploration. Both tracks by Flores are skilfully crafted 'A' sides and will, like many of his previous work, make it into the playlists and charts of the most respected players in the scene, which along Tommy's remix, makes this EP a must for all aficionados of cutting edge, bass-heavy Techno.

Cabana Ep

12inchTEC091
Tectonic
22.02.2016

* The mysterious Nurve follows up on his Tectonic debut, originally released back in 2014, with 4 crunching darkside cuts, conjuring the spirits of Ed Rush & Optical circa late 90's, to appear here in a techno form.* The EP opens with 'Pyromaniac', a homage or even a love ode to the power of fire, which, like the track itself is both mesmerising and bewitching, entrancing and delirious. Next up, in collaboration with Caski, 'Brain Sugar' takes the mood deeper, continuing with the mystical vibes and meticulous  tech-heavy programming and adding a more tribal dimension to proceedings. * 'Cabana' hits hard straight from the offset, forming as the more rolling dance floor focussed track of the EP, while holding true to the palette and moods of the rest of the EP. Finally, closing up, is 'Drugs Don't Work', an ambiguous statement met by the broken rhythm of the track and disintegrating trajectory it takes.

Pioneering artists such as Emanuele Rizzuto and Stefano Rocchi well represent the efforts of the label in releasing analogue music as well as all the other great producers tracks released into this.

Domenico Crisci - Ceremony Ep

After 2 blinding releases on LIES and Russian Torrents, the Italian uprising techno producer Domenico Crisci lands on fellow italian Marco Shuttle's label Eerie with some serious, 909 driven, stripped down techno biz'. No matter how pretentious it might sound these are tracks that gravitate quite comfortably in a Mills-esque kind of orbit but they somehow also remind of early Downwards brutal material. Label boss Marco Shuttle features in the EP with a remix of one of the tracks (Lash) bringing the original into a more broken, abstract and dark (of course) territory.

27.04.2015

030 Recordings proposes the third release on vinyl. A new original work of three tracks signed by producer Micol Danieli which end with a Charlton remix. The style is well marked by the sound of acid Roland synth and drum machine sounds reminiscens of the underground dancefloor of the early nineties. Side A is a kind of introduction to the total concept of the EP, "CLC05" and "LDV03" are two tracks that immediately strike the listener and drags him into scenarios of well defined psychedelic percussion and mystical.

dark atmosphere greatly combined with a continuous evolution of the acid synth. In the B-side you can appreciate "26" characterized by the use of synth with has been created with analogue machines for the production of rhythmic based on the construction of a progressive style.

The remix of Charlton, one of the pioneers of the Dutch techno scene, adds a more acid bassline, extremely sharp and mesmerizing, creating a truly unique sound.

Abdulla Rashim - Unanimity 2x12"

Untangeled energy and drive breathes life into the rigid rhythmic structures, where the wild, almost primal, core illuminates the heartfelt and soulful layers within in his music.

As a celebration and as a aural development, Abdulla Rashim releases his 'Unanimity' LP on Northern Electronics in May 2014.

A Thousand Details & Sturqen - Kantes

It's been almost 2 years since our inaugural vinyl release, but after a long gestation period, the 2nd Reaktivate vinyl EP is finally here, and we hope the wait was worth it. We certainly feel very proud of it and are aware of what it has to live up to, after having one of the tracks from RKTV001 going as far as landing a slot in Pangaea's FabricLive 73 Mix-CD.
The idea for this release was born even before the 1st one was out on the streets. It's the story of how a bunch of music fans tried to make their dream release come true. The common goal was to put together a release that summed up what the label stands for, irregardless of commercial or dancefloor acceptance. It was a question of faith, belief, and musical passion coming together. Everyone at RKT has long been a fan of Portuguese duo from Porto, Sturqen's brand of power electronics and defiant experimentation and felt in that in their work, there was a techno sensibility worth stimulating. Label mentor A Thousand Details (Gustavo Lima, one half of Quantic Spectroscopy) is a particular fan and felt Sturqen's music inspired him to stretch his own musical muscle towards less obvious and straightforward directions, so the invite for a collab felt natural and was promptly accepted. The result was a collection of pieces that put together Sturqen's free-form twisted and burned industrial explorations, with A Thousand Details's rhythmic inclinations and desire to break free from dancefloor convention. Three pieces were carefully selected with the intention of showcasing the range of the project, but other ideas were explored and presented to someone who, from the start, seemed like the most natural fit for a remix : canadian rhythmic noise masters Orphx. This is where the dream part of the projected starting becoming a reality : to our collective delight, Orphx are fans of Sturqen's work and immediately jumped at the chance, delivering an engrossing, hypnotic and majestic remix for 'Canis'. The final piece of the dream gained form when almost by chance, RKT fan and friend, and UK industrial techno enforcer Casual Violence, got word of the project and told us he wanted to have a go at 'Kantes'. What he came up with sealed the release in ways that, as far reaching as our dreams were, we couldn't have envisioned : a scorched-earth techno slow burner that glues all other pieces together.
The music presented in this release turns out as being a perfect reflection of the ideas that were at it's the genesis and the struggle to make them true. It's not far-fetched to say that even if we had never done anything before this record, or do anything else beyond it, the whole journey was made worthwhile by seeing this come true. We can only finish by saying what matters the most. Thank you to the artists for this beautiful nightmare, thank you to you for lending us your time and ears and being the most important part of it.

Andy Stott - Faith In Strangers

Andy Stott returns with his first new album since 2012's 'Luxury Problems', no.55 in Pitchfork's 'best albums of the decade so far'

- It also featured high in numerous year-end charts in 2012; including The Wire, Resident Advisor, Pitchfork, The Quietus, Tiny Mixtapes,

PopMatters, XLR8R and more

- Includes vocal contributions from Alison Skidmore on six tracks

- The album straddles analogue club music and vocal pop songs - somewhere between Ron Hardy, Prefab Sprout, Dome, Actress, Cocteau Twins and Arthur Russell

- Mastered and cut by Matt Colton at Alchemy 'Faith In Strangers' was written and produced between January 2013 and June 2014, and was edited and sequenced in late July this year. Making use of on an array of instruments, field recordings, found sounds and vocal treatments, it's a largely analogue variant of hi-tech production styles arcing from the dissonant to the sublime. The first two tracks recorded during these early sessions bookend the release, the opener 'Time Away' featuring Euphonium played by Kim Holly Thorpe and last track 'Missing' a contribution by Stott's occasional vocal collaborator Alison Skidmore who also appeared on 2012's 'Luxury Problems'.. Between these two points 'Faith In Strangers' heads off from the sparse and infected 'Violence' to the broken, downcast pop of 'On Oath' and the motorik, driving melancholy of 'Science & Industry' - three vocal tracks built around that angular production style that imbues proceedings with both a pioneering spirit and a resonating sense of familiarity. Things take a sharp turn with 'No Surrender'- a sparkling analogue jam making way for a tough, smudged rhythmic assault, while 'How It Was' refracts sweaty Warehouse signatures and 'Damage' finds the sweet spot between RZA's classic 'Ghost Dog' and Terror Danjah at his most brutal. 'Faith in Strangers' is next and offers perhaps the most beautiful and open track here, its vocal hook and chiming melody bound to the rest of the album via the almost inaudible hum of Stott's mixing desk. It provides a haze of warmth and nostalgia that ties the nine loose joints that make up the LP into the most memorable and oddly cohesive of Stott's career to date, built and rendered in the spirit of those rare albums that straddle innovation and tradition through darkness and light.

After three years, Ascion and D.Carbone return with "Substructures", their most experimental release to date on their label 3TH.
The A-side of this record holds two droney offbeat tracks, "RAM Expedients" and "Lo-fi Fields", combining a rare/abstract and genuine mix of Middle-Eastern electronics, cyberpunk and UK warehouse techno. The B-side contains the tracks that are responsible for the nomenclature of this release: "Substructures one/two". Being more oriented to genres such as IDM and rave techno, they are characterized by powerful beats and cutting edge ambients and vocals. Both tracks have been recorded during one of their live performances in London 2013.

Kript Records
25.07.2014

'INVERSO' is the new vinyl sub-label of Kript Records, whose concept is based on the meaning that the word assumes in different fields, in mathematics for example the 'INVERSO' Ratio means that the product of the variables always remain constant. But the word 'INVERSO' is also a concept that leads to an exact opposite of what it assumes.
These two meanings of the word 'INVERSO' inspire all the tracks of the label, characterized by a "Noisy and Distorted" sound, where symmetry and asymmetry live together and where analog source and analog processing give a great touch of depth.

Little Hill goes dark!

A mysterious artist on the hill for this release named Vasco serving us, on Roman label, an ep with deep and glacial techno sounds; the two original tracks take us to the universe of the artist, cold and dark.

On other side the first remix is produced by Agazzi and follow the musicline of the originals so pulling out a paranoid march, other remix on bside is made by Valent and it's a peaktime modern techno percussive device.

Linear S Decoded 2x12"

2x12inchAVNLP002 2X12"
Avian
22.09.2014

collecting orders for another repress!
A year after their much-praised debut album STRGTHS, Avian's cryptic Swedish duo SHXCXCHCXSH are ready to present their second album, Linear S Decoded, this August. From the elegiac opener Entering The S-Cloud, the intensity of tracks such as Elocution and Rudimental Retreat, to the disorienting beauty of Wading Guise and aptly-titled closer Monolithic Conclusion, the LP deftly broadens the scope of SHXCXCHCXSH's singular aesthetic.

Keeping their mystic aura has always been important to SHXCXCHCXSH - so important they didn't want to take part in what they deemed 'the language game' until now. Their previous strict use of fragmented track titles illustrated an ideal of communication purely through music, to service the focus on sound via complete abstraction. Breaking the habit with Linear S Decoded doesn't necessarily indicate a complete break with their approach, but an adjustment to the direction they have travelled since they first emerged two years ago.

As Resident Advisor identified in a perceptive review of the previous LP, among SHXCXCHCXSH's key strengths is the imbuing of their productions with a narrative sense, a sonic progression that moves beyond techno's standard repetition - it's an element of their work that's heightened further on Linear S Decoded, pulling focus from the more grinding, brutalist elements of their distinct sound to reveal the more melodic, almost optimistic, elements that had previously remained in the shadows of the productions until now.

The track titles themselves are evocative about the new record whilst revealing few specifics: no less intriguing than the clustered consonants of the prior release titles, hinting at deeper underlying narratives at play, possibly historically informed, or a fiction of the duo's own making. Either way, definitive answers will not be forthcoming: the mysteries that lay beneath SHXCXCHCXSH's approach to music making have long been an intrinsic part of their appeal. Linear S Decoded presents the opportunity for newcomers and those already au fait with the duo to employ their deciphering abilities, whilst simultaneously offering an expanded and ever more richly detailed landscape to traverse...

Cocoon Box - *14* Cocoon Compilation N

Vinyl Box-Set limited to 500 copies + includes the Compilation on CD
Time is running...and it seems like we just woke up out of our interstellar sleep-mode as we are facing the arrival of the 14th edition of the almighty COCOON RECORDINGS COMPILATION. Starting with the letter 'A' we reached 'N' meanwhile which probably marks one of the longest running techno-compilation-series ever around. The list of the featured artists is amazing and almost endless. Big names like Funk D'Void, Alter Ego, Michael Mayer, Steve Bug, DJ Rush, Adam Port, Christian Smith, Nina Kravitz, Henrik Schwarz or Argy can be found here. Not to forget some of the biggest players in the circus like Sven Väth, Anthony Rother, Extrawelt, Timo Mass, Radio Slave or Ricardo Villalobos, DJ Koze, Dubfire and even Berlin's Basic Channel mastermind Moritz Von Oswald! With the new 'Compilation N' we will add even more big names side by side to some fresh and promising ones. Let's start with Konstantin Sibold & Leif Müller who gave us 'Kolibri", a great slowed down techno-tune that brings us back to the high days of Alter Ego when Harthouse released big listening and electronica albums. Track number two by Julian Perez follows that feeling and explores the deep and dubby sides of techno, too. A perfect transition to Frankfurt homeboy Markus Fix. It's dub again however spiced up with hypnotic strings and a clubby kickdrum shaking our bass bins! With track number four, 'Compilation N' opens the door to proper and kicking club music.
