introducing >the courts 12 inch, the first single from jam citys forthcoming debut album, out later this year on night slugs. a double-a side release that showcases the two extremes of the lps material - the sublime and the industrial. on the a-side is >the courts<, jcs rawest dancefloor-orientated work yet. hyper-tense club music built of skids, dribbles, passes, big jersey kicks, and permeated by an ostentatious slap bass. the result is a pounding, jacking grid of a rhythm track, moments of on-court action reassembled with robotic efficiency. on the flip, jam city links up with oaklands main attrakionz for a very special collaboration called >the nite life<. squadda b and mondrem.a.n. drop mesmerising other-wordly verses over jam’s low-slung beat. the atmosphere is dense, hazy with purple smoke and submerged in the smoggy californian marine layer.

zooloft records is approaching to the era of future tech-noir and this release is the result of an internal process of thoughts and ideas behind them. it tells the story of a sad wanderer who is trying to find the path to personal truth. outside, a desolate scenario of modern architectures of cold glass, standing to the edge of horizon. a wonderland of mirrors and empty landscapes: the triumph of solitude. the a side starts with a complex and claustrophobic dark-techno driver which sets a point of no-return. an obsessive pattern of sub-frequencies collides with breaths from the beyond. sound paranoia. the highest frequencies create phrenetic and compulsive rhythms to make the dynamics imploding. the heroes of modern-age industrial techno, orphx, make the path to truth harder. they trace an obscure reinterpretation of the a side with a percussive alarm that marks the time, while dense and anxious atmospheres are followed by syncopated beats and distorted high-frequencies. the breaths from the beyond are now closer than ever. the ep gets closed by an evocative, thoughtful and beatless composition. the perfect soundtrack for those who are wandering and wondering

on this white label, we bring together two of the best producers in the uk to give there perspective of the work of sbtrkt. the ratio of quality to quantity in the braiden repertoire is disproportionately weighted in favour of quality. his debut release >the alps<, on joy orbisons label doldrums, certified him as a meticulous detailed producer. if youve heard is rinse fm show, youll have enjoyed the intensity and breadth of his perspective. this musicological take on sbtrkts >pharaohs< recontextualises roses gabor afro-futuristic vocals line in a more genuinely space-age industrial club sphere. the darker edge to lil silva is just the baddest of all uk house producers. his uk funky background has sheltered him from the hype lauded upon the flavour of the month post-dubstep producers of his generation. as a result, hes continued to garner respect from all sides, from the garage scene to the tech house scene. his treatment of >living like i do< takes his mate samphas vocal and adds a jerk discord to an already tense and dramatic vocal performance. his trademark 2-note bassline presents itself with its usual menace, ensuring waistlines to react promptly.

>new noise designed by a sadist< is the first release with new pwei-material since 1994.

the tracks blend the best of booth producers, rachmads detroit influence shaped with lauxs dynamic style. the title track viking, is led by a synth that sweeps in an almost hyperventilating rhythm that raising the track with a series of industrial ticks and clicks that flavour the german, dutch and detroit mix. a dark bassline leads the track into its climax where glitchy synths squeak and stretch before the track drops. carlos is a track that bounces with groove. morse-like rhythmic bleeps carry the track cementing the individuality that is created in the ep. awash with sweeping sounds, the track gains a smoother feeling of deep techno demostrating their delicacy. 7tine is a juggernaut with a dark, heavy rhythm, showing the industrial power of the pairs production. flanged distortion scratching like fingernails give the track a tense edge, while simple yet powerful synths steer the ep into an eerie conclusion.

two dogs in a house is steve summers and ron morelli (l.i.e.s) meanest project to date. rising from the delay saturated muck, pushing the red, straight forward and to the point with no time to waste, these brooklyn dogs started with a simple modus operandi as to make effective, psychedelic tracks that they would want to hear on a proper club system. and you do want to hear dogs anthem in a proper soundsystem. a fat one. rather than a decent follow up to their l.i.e.s. ep, this 12? is an statement by itself, sounding more experimental and raw ?if that?s possible than its predecessor. it evokes chicago, detroit, and industrial records equally, but do not get mixed up: this is a weapon designed to tear dancefloors apart! limited copies , hand numbered.

b.d.i. brings two far out techno tracks on this new rush hour release. industrial in a good way... this is going to send a certain club in berlin upside down! tip!the long awaited return of b.d.i. is finally here. he returns with two unique tracks.

title track >lasers are forever< combines arpeggiating analog squelch, lush synth atmospherics and subtle percussion sequencing to lend itself an uncommon sense of drama, the effect of which is both compelling and visceral. on the flip, >hello darkness< takes a somewhat different approach: an imposing arp 2600 bassline pulses along front-and-center with a relentless acid-tinged snarl, while pounding drums and swelling pads complete this most banging of danses macabres. on remix duties are throne of blood alumni remain & mlle caro, who retain the key elements of their source material only to reveal an entirely different beast lurking beneath: the parisian duo take down the tempo a few notches and let swelling analog filters and unfurling lfos do the rest. meanwhile, get the curse music boss clement meyers deformhaus remix of >hello darkness< tightens the originals percussion to an industrial stomp and introduces a spooked-out synth line every bit as funky as it is uncanny- the end result lands somewhere between the boneyard and the discothèqu

features series start from here, the first of all, open repitch. the rebirth of the well-known fusion ascion and d. carbone. a unique sound suitable for the club and listening. irradial is a industrial-hybrid. walker smells like oldschool but totally redesigned. glare is an endless trip. mike parker version of walker takes you over, hypnotic. the name features come from the surrealistic artworks that will accompany us throughout the series. these mix the physical traits of the artists face with others, a face that looks like a distorted view of someone in our thoughts with features not well defined. to collect.

super dope debut from this new producer... 3 great tracks that remind us a bit of the aardvarck sound with some recloose style funk thrown in... another new signing on rush hour. this time b.d.i. delivers the goods. city & industry is a fierce builder that balances between house and techno, which we shall dub peak time music. the wod balloon dud is a more freestyle affair, which reminds us of finer todd terry days. with industrial kites we go rumble in the jungle with a huge percussive workout.

despite the post-industrial label often affixed to factory floor, there is a greater complexity of sound within the bands music that defies such facile descriptions. yes, there are rigid, fixed beats, and other sounds from the manufacturing plant, as suggested by the trios moniker. but there is also an underlying danceability that belies the seeming austerity of the sound, a hint at warmth that cuts through the permafrozen exterior. that curious balance has paid endless dividends thus far: they have been remixed by producer gavin russom, liars angus andrew and no ages dean allen, remixed and released by optimo, remixed and collaborated live with throbbing gristle legend chris carter, and remixed and produced (!) by joy division and new orders stephen morris. its been a whirlwind few years in terms of musical accolades, and factory floors dfa debut is a glimpse into why.

heralding the birth of the first leleka is a limited edition, hand stamped, two-tone vinyl release from the labels owner vakula from konotop, whos name is widespread due to the success of releases on firecracker, and recently shevchenko (white labels with prints of ukrainian literary celebrities such as gogol, lesya ukrainka & shevchenko himself). these are an ideally captured ukrainian landscape of change, struggle, nature and art slightly embellished by industrial design of the 50s. and this is what the leleka label is all about, its musical concept reflects vakulas love of folk and live music, where passions and melodies play leading roles. this debut release contains six vintage tracks from vakula, almost serving as a prologue to his recent epic output. the meeting of imported soul, exploitation movies and detroit techno, with ukrainian folk melodies and soviet electronics, offers a glimpse into vakulas way of working, and gives us a taste of things to come

four bombs in birmingham key nods to detroit techno to hard, industrial, sharp and blunt with abrasive groove basslines like cathedrals and yard beats with hypnotic electronic sequences and mental development are not faint of heart. reaktor records does not fail and will make this album essential in your set.

g.h. is gary howell, longtime associate of modern love as one half of pendle coven and sometime contributor to the hate project. the ground ep features howells first material produced outside of pendle coven and takes on a much darker, more stripped down aesthetic - making use of location recordings amassed over the last decade. the title track extends over 7 minutes from a solitary bass pulse into a slow, three dimensional industrial reduction heaving with uncomfortable bass weight and a sense of nervous expectation. its like the bare, skeletal noise framework for darkest junglist hardcore stripped of its percussion - all bar a bass drum and intense shards of noise. albedo has more of a swing to it, dominated by a growling bassline and the metallic clunk of disjointed percussion at odds with the squashed funk lurking somewhere at its core. the template is extended on earth, a brilliantly discordant club variant that sounds like an r&b mastertrack exploded into 100 constituent parts and put together not entirely in the right order. it builds and collapses into itself, a stylistic oddity that at one and the same time brings to mind boards of canadas re- working of colonel abrams - trapped and the extreme frequency vortex of the raster noton lab

brand new project from orphx partner rich oddie. features colour insert in clear poly bag. strong release for fans of early basic channel ! for over twenty years, rich oddie has been making electronic and experimental music as a key member of a wide range of projects and bands, ranging from ambient to industrial, techno to punk. the most well known of these is orphx, a long running collaboration with partner christina sealey that has gained widespread acclaim for their pioneering fusion of industrial, techno, and electro. richs other projects span across experimental and psychedelic music: antiform (ambient / electro-acoustic), closing sale (synthpop), magic shadows (garage punk), o/h (power electronics), and oureboros (ambient / black metal). surface is delighted to release richs very first solo ep with two tracks that dig deep into his trademark aesthetic of dark droning atmospheres, dubbed out sound manipulation, and relentless rhythms.

while the first release on wania, busen & paleos >stream of love< (featuring dj sotofetts anthemic overdub-12inchedit) was a rather leftfield affair, dritfett is aimed more directly towards the dancefloor. the label artwork gives a clear clue as to what this release is all about: amongst a number of cryptic messages and shout-outs in norwegian - a tr-909 logo. all the tracks here are based around the 909 - thunderous kickdrums and sharp, hissing hi-hats that cut through the mix. still, theres a broad range of sounds, from head-down, fists-clenched warehouse workouts with an industrial edge, to more melodic tracks with detroit references aplenty. make no mistake though: this is all about the power of the almighty 909. theres no fancy tricks here‚ no ableton-trickery or polished waveforms, just good honest techno with a real raw live feel. this gives the tracks the energy and spontaneity that is sorely missed in many of todays productions. the kind of energy you will find - in abundance - in the house and techno releases of the 90s. the kind of energy that can only be achieved by pressing play on a machine, frenetically twisting knobs and punching buttons while letting the energy of the room decide where to go next.

second release for the label created by darkcell. another step in the deep darkness of the modern techno, industrial, where the sounds come together to repetitiveness. sounds powerful but always hidden by a fog that makes the original track for a walk in our modern times. the remix of perc (perc trax, clr, etc.) makes the whole vision faster and stressful .. creating a set of rhythmic and repetitive sounds that destroy and alter any vision around ourselves. the version of bcr boys (nachtstrom schallplatten, darknet, etc.) has drawn much more syncopated, and industrial, the sound cut the atmosphere created by the syncopated rhythms ... a set of mysterious forces surrounding the whole track. power of darkness!

finding the new matter is reekos new album, second in his career after submitted to involuntary treatment, published in 2004 by the british label inceptive.more than ten 12inches for the best techno labels around, led up to the release of this new and eagerly awaited album by the spanish producer. his mastery of digital tools and excellent sonic capabilities is made evident by this intricate work, which runs from environmental experiments, through deep and scientific techno, to sounds of an industrial and raw kind: his specialty for years.the album begins with the beginning , a small track that serves as an atmospheric intro in which the digital textures and pads are the main ingredients, starring in one of the few melodic moments on the album.movement starts with strange beings , repetitive synth strings, sine waves and rhythms that start to generate the tension needed in order to enjoy the album. an abstract track with a space flavour, in line with the best standards-bearers of scientific techno

this is the third of the black dogs liber series of releases that are purely aimed at the dance floor. it follows the previous, well received liber kult & liber temple 12s, these singles all lead to liber dogma, due on soma in october, and further chapters. high rise choir reprise opens with clattering percussion taken straight from recordings at forgemasters before a face-ripping gut-wrenching bassline cuts through with one of the black dogs strongest minimal grooves yet. built to move heads and feet, the hypnotic groove hooks you instantly while the haunting strings bring the emotion in massive dark waves, you cant help but fall into this track. beautifully simple, addictive and massive. dissident bleep is just that. over the years the myth that sheffield is all about bleep and bass has gathered ground but those who live here know its all about the bass. industrial repetition gives way to twisted vocal samples of >over, over<, a sure-fire nod to cabaret voltaire, before the kicks and filters pummel you.
