second 12 inch in the testpressing series, hand-stamped sleeve including insert with artwork by alex solman. mastered and cut by matt colton at alchemy, pressed at pallas so here we are at part two in the series: grows without bound on the a-side is a monster, a noisy analogue session resurrected from the burning embers of industrial and noise, harnessed into an unstable growl that slowly makes room for a barely-there percussive stumble - think somewhere between vainio and nate young. over on the flipside primitive equations takes for inspiration the bare-boned, hyper-tense production of photeks still devastating ni-ten-ichi-ryu, slugging out feral, steely noise and ardcore torque forged by calloused hands and burning minds to cruel, propulsive effect.

few people stand for a real underground approach to techno like adam x does. for over 20 years he has been right in the center of the scene. before moving to berlin he ran the sonic groove record shop in nyc for 15 years. the sonic groove label also owned by adam is still a dominating force in the scene and has released music of legends like abe duque, blake baxter, frankie bones, kevin saunderson and many more. with djing, producing music adam in recent years has received a lot of support from people like chris liebing and many others for his productions as adam x as well as for his aliases traversable wormhole, admx-71.adam’s sound is dark and heavily influenced by his passion for industrial and old school ebm music. with coercive persuasion on the a-side he combines these influences with a functionality that can only derive from his extensive touring as a dj and live act. it is a dark anthem that will destroy all real techno floors. no doubt. the b-side deprogramming sequence comes along with driving bells that give the stomping beat of the track a little uplift and therewith balances out the heavy dark side of the ep.

exploitation is the new film by dutch independent filmmaker edwin brienen. enfant terrible produced the soundtrack for this gothic-noir satiric fresco. 90 minutes of music to be enjoyed both as true soundtrack as well as a sequel to previous enfant terrible compilations... but more dramatic and ritualistic in the way the record is building up. it will please fans of minimal electronics and (post) industrial music but also moves into different styles such as idm, tekno, angst pop and chanson, while always keeping a dark and cold mood and/or dream state feeling throughout... limited edition of 250 copies!

after emerging from years of seclusion below the chicago underground last year, marquis cooper aka svengalisghost, returns with all new material recorded this winter somewhere between the woods of north carolina and the streets of nyc. an advocate in creating what he calls the anti-beat, cooper takes what he s learned from the traditional machine experimentation of the early pioneers, reconstructs and retransmits the sounds which lie somewhere in the realm of unhinged synth punk or industrial forward-thinking beat electronics. these tracks are truly the essence of house, and a vicious circle it is.

vertigo is the a side on this four track ep by roberto capuano that uses reverberated kick drums and piano chords to create a groove that was designed for peak-time play. the second track, inversion uses rising and filtering synths with the use of space and influxes of pitched hi hats and percussion loops to create a 5am track that will keep people rooted to their spot. new chapter uses a repetitive percussion-like stab to keep the deep atmospheric sounds together over the industrial techno drums. the final track earth uses phased sporadic stabs to create an interesting groove that compliments the driving drums that are ever present

alessandro parisi recorded this album just with a roland tr-707 and a roland jx-3p. the result is impressive. for lux rec it was worth the labels first lp. the heritage from his home in the northeast of italy is clearly present in the music of parisi. back in the late seventies and early eighties pordenone was an industrial city with a vivid underground post punk and wave scene. cold weather electronics. fog and darkness surrounds the place to this day and deeply pervades this record: the history of a city called draconia. who will do wrong shall not be forgiven. limited to 250 copies, it comes in a red vinyl double 12-inch outfit. free download included!

hard edged, stepping industrial techno ep.

first pressing in dark red vinyl! in remarkably short time, van bonn has developed a well-deserved reputation as a forward-thinking dub music producer. he is tying up electronic listening music with dance music structures for the german label telrae and trapez since 2011, but his newest invention van bonn01 is another step forward. van bonn records now for the first time provides him with a platform, that is his own. it is a sound laboratory pushing his ideas as well as giving him the possibility to feature like minded people. the first edition on vinyl, comes in dark red with a nice artwork. gradient (cph dub) shows a new side with van bonn, expressing a certain form of industrial & romantic privacy in a very radical way. his epic 12 minute track explores the time and space continuum in ways of symmetry. this is a perfect extension of what we know from various dub techno productions of the past. rich filtered delays balanced with a monotony of a mighty & distant beat, makes it an hypnotic piece of music. gradient in its original version is the more hardish and forceful..companion of the a-side, being more raw an direct. van bonn uses here a lot of fx sounds to build a bubble which perfectly embeds the stomping machine liked beat. the >do not resist the beat< owner milton bradley and artist on prologue (and more) has delivered a remix of >gradient< in his genuine style avoiding commercialism and creating his own atmospheric, claustrophobic, cinematic style of techno. listen here to his remix for van bonn.

brimming with subversive energy, searing wit and gallows humour, *luftbobler* is the debut album by dinos chapman. consisting of 13 tracks of electronic schlampige musik, *luftbobler* is the result of a decade of experimenting with sound. inspired by insomnia, horror movies and boredom, and made in a diy fashion in the basement of his east london home, *luftbobler* reflects dinos chapmans interests in the industrial pulse of throbbing gristle, willful experimentation of stockhausen and impish playfulness of squarepuscher, but sounds like none of them.

third sides infamous *shit on me*, taken from their first full-length release, *unified fields* is given a four-pronged remix ante up by some of technos more illustrious figures. virginia is back on duty with a fierce and hypnotic twist of jagged percussion and echoing sample blends, transforming the original into an obscure and minimalistic techno voyage, whereas morphosis injects his peerless swamp of sonic oddity under his ra.h moniker – reducing the original into a truly experimental six minutes of chilling effects, echoing percussion and irregular drum bursts…a true hardware show. on the flipside, marco shuttle tears up the beat into a twisting, bass-morphing machine stomp, replacing the originals drums and hi-hats with a mesmerizing cascade of sharp vocals and flickering note-repeats. finally, the elusive techno excursionists, xenogears give the original an ominous industrial edge, where harsh drum machine distortions meet long, dreary pads and cavernous vocal shots of the finest analogue calibre. techno restoration is back with a vengeance.

2 industrial hardcore bangers by american core warriors: delta 9 & fiend.

without army nor rhetoric, dying & barakat are proposing nothing but the ethereal conviction of their senses. floating musical matter, strangely ligatured, convicciòn pours its complex epigenesis, reveals its wefts, searching for its most authentic form, loosing languages, only surrounding its audience towards its curious euphonia. a bizarre composition altering our perception, reaching each mans tempers, inviting into its chinks every sonic metamorphosis: from its aerials peels, oxidized by mtds industrial catabasis, from its chaotic progression, engorged into jeroen searchs inebriant loops, from its blueish layers thicken by mattias fridells cavernous tribal grain. supported by the kind sympathies of: eric cloutier, lee holman, thomas hessler, ben gibson, albert van abbe, philippe petit

parisian techno enfant terrible mondkopf makes a rare excursion away from his fast rising in paradisium imprint to deliver an ep for perc trax, a label that clearly shares mondkopfs love for the experimental, the industrial and the distorted. across these three tracks the french producer applies an overdriven, fuzz-heavy aesthetic to symphonic broken beat techno. think ancient methods or perc at their most uncompromising but then expanded in every direction heavier bass, sharper highs and an orchestral edge that is epic without ever coming across as contrived.

showcasing his wide range of sound design, the mysterious berlin resident, dubit makes his debut on hidden recordings with a forward thinking and boundary pushing inspiring release that ranges from industrial techno to glitch dub. completing the release is a jaw-dropping remix by one of technos fastest rising stars, uk and subfigure label owner, jason fernandes.

>stereotype< the second single from bristol industrial dub pioneer mark stewarts recent album the politics of envy gets reworked by a host of guest producers. hyper dub duo hype williams unravel stereotype into a fiercely breath taking dub-spectacle, unfolding three-quarters of the way through into a sky-bound grand finale. fred venturas italoconnection remix radiates with a cosmic-coated, sugary burst of popular 80s synth and as expected plenty of italo spark & flair. daniel b of front 242 pulls the originals fuse, and rewires it into what you would kinda imagine a 31st century electronica frankenstein would sound like. renowned techno figure perc gets angst and intense with a heavy, mechanical but beautifully crafted remix destined for the most no-nonsense of floors. chicago native chrissy murderbot channels the same high impact baltimore sound that you will find in machinedrum and schlachthofbronx productions, carrying us out guns blazing with ballistic footwork drum beat firing. finally, mark stewarts dub version of the song and a taster from his upcoming >exorcism of envy< lp to be released later in the autumn.

diva is a project which explores the outer regions of technos psyche - combining the trippy sensuality of chris & cosey with the brutalist analogue aesthetic of the likes of robert hood or liasons dangereuses. inspired by the vocal histrionics of strobe lit sirens such as loleatta holloway and jocelyn brown, diva calls on the protean roots of basement club music. lead track >paris stabbing< is a stunning excursion into motor city madness, abstracted disco vocals clash with a broken digi-arpeggio and hooverish bass break down, whilst the flip side >but i ve never< imposes a detuned synth siren over an industrial bass sequence and sp1200 piano stabs to eerie effect. also included is the >paris stabbing (beats)< which pares down the original, adding detuned melodic percussion into a minimalist after hours tool.

boris bunnik goes under many aliases. numerous smaller projects, some huge faceless projects but mostly known and well respected for his conforce project. as versalife he found his way to the clone familia for his night time activities project, and around this same period we just managed to pull out the best suitable tracks for frustrated funk. versalife is electro-techno in its purest form. deep and intense analog rhythms with crisp percussion patterns slightly touching the more experimental side of things. this ep is a nice balanced mixture of industrial drone material to more classic sounding electro with versalifes own signature strength. highly recommended as always!

dusty baron aka latecomer may be a recent arrival on the scene, but he plays like a true veteran. a mysterious export from the around same eastern latitudes as label boss vakula, his music, much like vs, sounds just as rooted in the post soviet russian landscape as it is in the post industrial north america which gave rise to all the soul and machine funk that is the driving inspiration for so many of todays roots conscious electronic artists. vakula takes the controls on side a with dubwise and exotic production skills whilst side b showcases the barons heavy heavy chops, with drum programming as deft as his keys work, and a sound which is equal parts earthly and heavenly. sides c & d (on bonus 7inch) see v step up to offer two takes on >follow shot<, continuing the theme of techno tinged jazz cosmism. a noble introduction, by way of collaboration, to the dusty baron and his sound, and yet another installment in lelekas continuing contribution to the musical space time continuum.

roll the dices peder mannerfelt presents a new 12 inch for the london based electronics label we can elude control. the release brings together a collection of percussive modular synth and noise experiments recorded live in his stockholm studio with the release exposing mannerfelts wider sonic interests and improvised approach outside of the production work he is more readily known for through projects such as roll the dice, fever ray and the subliminal kid.
come closer drafts a template of four hypnotic improvised recordings that cross the spectrum from industrial rhythms and arpeggiated modular cycles into angular ritualism and sähköesque reduction. collectively the material highlights a manifesto for a raw vintage futurism crafted from purist sonics and decisive percussive detailing, moulding aspects of tonal precision and immersive electronics from an array of analogue hardware.

r&s welcome new signing mpia3 to the label with a doublepack of uncompromising techno. mpia3 is a production alias of truss (perc trax) who has just the two eps preceding this on shifteds avian label. >your orders< see him continue down the path of raw, industrial, seriously funky, acid techno. his signature overdriven kicks recall classic robert armani and his sound harks back to the days of mike dearbourn and djax up beats, and the classic uk techno of ben sims and james ruskin but the tracks on >your orders< could have only been made in 2012. this is heavyweight music built for proper soundsystems and dark rooms. the six tracks on the ep straddle different tempos with some slick drum programming, but are tied together with some razor sharp synths and a healthy dose of acid.

having swiftly carved a niche for himself amongst the likes of perc, ben gibson returns to sect to deliver more of his brooding and engaging techno. there is a great emphasis on sound design and atmospherics in the two tracks on quien es?, as ominous clangs and tense tones hang heavy over rugged drum workouts. >ceased to gasp< is the more industrial of the two, but still allows for a melodic slant in the cavernous echoes that define the track. >remain< adopt a swirling, psychedelic approach to sonic decoration that draws you in just as it continues flooring you, like all good techno should. highly recommended.

new years deal - behind the highway, near the industrial area, next to the airport, somewhere in the innercity, urban principles fall apart. that leaves the enclaves, mono functionalism and an urban ultra density that local governments are struggling to eradicate. both a cage and a cocoon, there is a space where development opportunities hit the wall. hybrid places that combines urban collapse and >the new culture<, endemic violence and solidarity, all of which is left to the communities to deal with without outside help. when the post-industrial economy becomes sporadic and nothing else takes shape, man is left at the mercy of his environment. techno appears and becomes a parallel between man and the city, as another faceless entity which unifies them. this unity is the result and techno is the process.

perc trax is proud to unveil the debut ep by pinion, known in a former life as us-based producer bobby dowell. pinion is the sound of a man with his own vision of music, sitting somewhere between classic industrial and contemporary techno without slavishly bowing down to either discipline. where the likes of ancient methods and perc are the sound of metal on metal, pinion is more like wood on leather, a ceremonial throb that switches in an instant from tightly locked grooves to more freeform rhythmic patterns.

lead off single from douglas j mccarthys (co-founder and singer of nitzer ebb) debut solo album. a dark house sound that appeals to old industrial fans as well as todays techno/house generation. king soulrider remixes death is king while jonah sharpe & dj spun remix taken. pressing on transparent blue vinyl.

embracing his long standing passion for electronic music, the tracks on >stoic< showcase a diverse range of influences and are built to endure. the a-side moves from the mournful, hypnotic opener >bodies<, through the cold mantra of >trials<, to the shuffling trickery of >circles<. side b contains the gothic 2-step beauty of >shards< and the epic, industrial crescendo of >endings<. with an uncompromising vision - and an remarkable live show - to back up these initial offerings, wife is a truly unique talent.

total control dislocate expectations with this inaugural home loan records 12 inch. not the charged up paranoid vox/guitar/drums combo that we have become accustomed to through their visceral live shows - instead men with machines producing pensive proto-tech experiments and tense industrial wave. includes the original version of carpet rash which was re-recorded in full band mode for henge beat, and two previously unreleased immersive rhythm tracks formed through collaboration between guitarist mikey young and drummer james vinciguerra. vinciguerra would fire deranged beats down the hole while young would jam over them, watching waves in a trance from his perch at phillip island. on the flip we find two reconstructions from home loan manager michael ozone. carpet rash receives the club re-contextualisation with ozone fully utilising its penetrating synth hook, while new age hop climbs the arabic scale.

two power cuts that melt classicist chicago school of design elements with a post-industrial take
