you can see it on the news: techno is back, but for those who never left, techno is not a word that comes and goes, techno are forward thinking sounds that you cannot do in one minute with some libraries and cheap software.this brand new release from our factory shows exactly how techno should be done properly, in the interpretation of kike pravda, eric krakeroy and label owner oscar mulero as a remixer.main track, >fear is the enemy< has a direct approach, clean and driving drum programming grows and grows helped by shuffled 909 hats, leaving room for a razor sharp synth line that opens and closes filter in the most dynamic way you can imagine. just a few elements put together wise. oscar reinvents the original in a very similar way, but slowing the vibe a bit, adding more percussive details and elonging the structure, again the sound is clear , punchy and hard, as you like it.closing release, >jaque a la reina< its a 21st century acid track, modern, sharp in sound and agressive in low end, concrete claps, metal hatz and driving synths makes this one the perfect compliment for this stunning release.

renegade soundmachine byronic: rsm are gary asquith (renegade soundwave, rema rema) & renault schubert (film2). the text for byronic was penned by the author and bon viveur lord byron himself a couple of years ago. renegade soundmachines tongue in cheek piece of work mirrors their anarcho decadent character, which gary asquith already used to bring in with his legendary project renegade soundwave probably a robbery despite the byronic irony, theres yet a message in the attitude. film 2 big city heart: film2 are the french actress betty la gachette (voice, dictaphone, field recordings, camera, typewriter) and once again sir renault schubert (electronics, guitar, bass, edrums, camera, software) from berlin. with big city heart they cry out an emotional and momentary perspective of capitalism, urban and individual mutations with gasoline in the air and vaseline on my hair.

rezkars fascination with music began with his parents record collection. listening to local radio stations as a child, he heard 80s tracks. as an adult he discovered the magic of 60s and 70s jazz and funk. one day, his cousin played a track that he immediately fell in love with. he later learned that this was house music. he discovered the fruity loops sequencer software and thought, why not try to make my own tracks, after all, it cant really be that hard? deep house can sound deceptively simple. its a bit like japanese anime, rezkar says. it looks so cute and easy to draw, but try to actually draw it, and you will discover its even harder than realistic drawings. the thing about house is that if you try too hard it can come across as being very cheesy, but then again, if you dont do enough it can sound incomplete. finding the balance is not easy, rezkar admits. after hearing his music, one finds that he is learning this lesson quite well.

first techno output by this collaboration between mario masullo, already known for his records on defrag and for his collaboration with g man, and maurizio martusciello, one of the pioneer and key figure in the italian electronic scene. woy out lines is a melting pot between different styles with an ear to the past and an eye on the future. on the a side a stylish minimal tune that present a solid, sophisticated groove with 303 pattern interaction and a melancholic and touching pad that give to this track a special taste that reject the abused micro techno trend. on the flip side dogon, here the 303 pattern is the body and the front of the track, the bass line is mind blowing and evolves floating during the whole arrangement, tribal voices, percussions and distorted synths to complete this energetic tune. m203 is a futuristic detroish track where the machines meet the softwares techniques to create an hybrid sound, the bass line is preminent but is well mixed with a lot of small details and concrete sounds. overall woy out lines is an eclectic and tasteful record

excellent follow up to imperio01! cool minimal / neo trance. deep atmospheric stuff in the lines of border/ software

modern software meets crusty analogs and live performance in fused with sequenced music.. each song has developed naturally over time
