we’re glad to welcome back aun to cyclic law for their latest opus! aun’s music as always suggested forays into other dimensions, be it to imaginary worlds, industrial wastelands, through space and time, or via mind altered states. from the ominous dystopian artwork, of a city being drained of its energy by some mysterious black hole, to the first notes of the title track “fiat lux” we are once again transported on aun’s otherworldly travelling path. ever since the space industrial and power electronics of aun’s previous cyclic law cult release “black pyramid”, the world has become even more sinister, but in contrast, “fiat lux” exudes even more of aun’s melancholic hopefulness. the disintegrating chords and densely textured waves, anchored by a left field industrial pulse, invoke occult drug enhanced, future psychedelia. created in part in their montreal studio, these tracks were extensively performed live, prior to recording, and refined while on tour breaks in montpellier, barcelona and tokyo. the energy of these cities is definitely at work in these recordings, which also features a french connection of experimental heavy hitters: witxes, frédéric d. oberland and philippe petit have helped round out dumais and leblanc’ arsenal. fiat lux: let there be light, from light will come darkness.
stÄrkers 2nd ep scorched delivers raw, pulsating rhythmic progressions all masterfully connected to deep ambient drones. the berlin-montreal based duo of frederic arbour (cyclic law) and martin dumais (aun) deliver haunting industrial rhythms and brooding atmospherics, drawing from an austere palette of abstract sonorities.

lfm (love for music) or more commonly known as stilove4music is back with a straight banger from detroit and what a treat it is. with countless releases under his belt and with kdj, theo parrish & marcellus pittman under the 3 chairs moniker, the godson aka rick wilhite is already a legend in his own right. his productions are simply unique. can you feel me is ricks second offering for lfm. it is a deep, relentless detroit house joint perfect for the late late night set. dj marquis – a newcomer on the detroit house scene – set things straight with a soulful house jewel – head over heels that somehow should make any new jersey producer worried for a minute. finally, tj dumas, one of the creator of the beatdown crew, set things straight with his personal vision of disco. these are the lost tracks from detroit, songs made by detroiters for detroits sweaty dancefloors. enjoy a rare piece of music. ltd backstock
this ep is an exclusive collaboration between joakim and former minimal compact singer samy birnbach, an offshoot of dj morpheuss compilation >i cant live without my radio< in a punk-funk vein with raw analog synths and fierce guitars (featuring panicos guitarist, memo dumay). on the flip side, we have asked rub n tug, probably the best remixers in 2005, to put their hands on minimal compacts nil nil. gothic electro disco !!
