pitched black aka irfan rainy (rainy city) from the rainy city of manchester drops his new track on modelhart. already dropped two releases on his new sonic project and label something in the water. irfan continues his dark assault on the sonic landscape of house and techno. taking cues from berlin, detroit and manchester, the release features the track * when stars collide*, a version for the dance floor and a beatless version for the more experimental minds.

a new release by a new artist pitched black on a new label something in the water, a new division of manchester label rainy city music. a two track 12 inch that sits somewhere between deep house & techno.

re-release! black truffle is honoured to present the premier recordings of two recent works by legendary american experimental composer alvin lucier. a friend and contemporary of pioneers like robert ashley, david behrman, gordon mumma, and christian wolff, lucier has been crafting elegant explorations of the behavior of sound in physical space since the 1960s. lucier is perhaps best known for i am sitting in a room (1970), in which he repeatedly re-recorded his own speaking voice being played back into a room until the room’s resonant frequencies entirely obscure the spoken text. beginning in the early 1970s, he has written a remarkable catalogue of instrumental works that focus on phenomena produced by the interference between closely tuned pitches, such as audible beating, often using pure electronic tones produced by oscillators in combination with single instruments.

labelfounder insect o. is back with a 3 track vinyl release of his handcrafted dub techno sound. but there is always more to discover. sandstones starts with field recordings he took at the sandstone mountains of saxony switzerland national park while hiking during the pandemic. back in the studio he layered it on top of spicy chords, beautiful pads and a shuffling groove. but it is this melancholic organ that gives big emotions to the track. the second track is named after a famous little bass synthesizer. volca dub was recorded 10 years ago. it was sitting on the hard disc, waiting for the perfect moment to get finished and released. the chords of the korg volca bass are heavily modulated and tranched into swirling tape delays with a rumbling sub bass underneath. just like dub should sound. the final track everlasting he recorded live in one take on his modular synthesizer. it starts with the rolling bassline by a buchla inspired dual oscillator. a dreamy melody and melancholic chords are fading in. filter pings are providing clicky drums while white noise from the moog dfam is playing a polyrhythmic snare. pitch shifting echoes and a dreamy reverb are gluing the sounds together. it makes you remember the past and think about the future. just like memories do. and some memories last forever.

cititrax is very pleased to announce cherskogo drive, a full length lp of 6 tracks from one of moscow’s leading underground electronic artists, pavel milyakov aka buttechno. he may not need any introduction to some but to those not in the know, he’s a unique, relatively new yet prolific musical artist who uses a vast range of instrumentation to create his sound. his music captures the listener in the most thoughtful, precise way.
milyakov makes spacious, dystopian, and wonky reflections on techno that mirror the expansive barrenness and desolation of his high rise-dominated environs. despite keeping a relatively low profile, buttechno still manages to attract significant positive attention, whether providing “spastic electronics and fireball ballistics” in one of the local boiler room event or creating soundtracks for european fashion shows. he has close ties to the area’s design and fashion scenes, and his own artwork fleshes out a singular aesthetic.
the 6 tracks on this lp range from driving electro to 90s techno to slower paced, dirty, perfectly pitched 808 sounds.
standard pressing of on black 160 gram vinyl.

a mechanised par excellence of hazy basement jams roughly sketched and untitled. man and machine in pitch-perfect unison - freaky sounds, noise boxes and drum machines amped up, wired and weird.

black venison returns with their debut artist vrrs for the 5th release in the catalogue. the a side opens up with brique a crunching techno roller with a rave vocal straight out of the early 90s. hungarian producer s.olbricht turns in a jungle inspired remix of brique , chopped break and vocals are the order of the day. on the flip side we vrrs explores more housey territory first with innerside, a pitched swinger and second with gonnaarp a bouncy lo-fi take of a classic house aesthetic.

london based punk duo black volume are not easy to classify. their delirious industrial post punk sounds at times like proto house and at times becomes some sort of mutant electro. their b series sound is made of a conglomerate of filthy percussions, unexpected samples and something with the appearance of melody, with a weirdly addictive result. black rubber is james brown wearing black leather at 40ºc (in the shade) while suffering a mental breakdown. excentric melodies sliding down rhythmic dislexia. negative return blooms from an improvised beat with no traceable sequence, on top of which we find rubbery synth lines, creamy interferences and mysterious sampling, everything sounds like melting from old vhs footage with the future we enter a romantic dystopia. sensual and passionate but equally crunchy, it rises up through cheap calculator arpeggios, pitched vocals and obsessive bass lines. streetfight evoques a desolate landscape, devastated and radioactive. distant echoes from an extinguished human race that left behind only majestic rusty ruins.

heavyweight tech infused deep house banger from tate morden, the darker, underground alter ego of danny j lewis/enzyme black. kerri chandler bar a thym-esque stabs combine with synth bass, tough beats and a pitch morphing vocal drop. dj support: grant nelson, ski oakenfull, andy ward, nick moss - groove assasin, soultribe

producer and dj, richy pitch moved from uk to ghana, west africa and took on the challenge to record an lp which drew on his many musical experiences during his stay. his goal was to record with local stars and talent and fuse the classic sound of ghanaian music with his own production skills that he had already developed in london. two years later and back to london, richy knocked on bbe records door to deliver ye fre mi richy pitch. (they call me richy pitch in twi) his creation gives the listener an excellent taste of the many different styles of ghanaian and west african music from highlife, hiplife to afrobeat to traditional percussion music, all combined with a fresh production twist. it features the cream of ghanaian music talent including mobo and mtv africa winner samini, reggie rockstone, known as the godfather of hiplife and talented mcs such as wanlov the kubolor, m3nsa and m.anifest, plus many other inspiring ghanaian artists.

figure is excited to present the first outing of what might soon prove to be one of techno’s most promising collaborations. while seatoc mass’ two pristinely crafted eps have already left their mark on the label, matrixxman has been turning heads across the scenes with his exceptionally prolific track record. drawing upon common thoughts on futuristic themes and their respective strengths as producers from different continents, their joint effort clearly conveys one distinct approach, yet unites the seemingly opposite. regardless of being no-nonsense dancefloor-weapons, the four tracks still brim with detail, their vibrant elements communicating playfully. on their shared ep these artists have struck a rare balance. they delicately hover between the spacious and the claustrophobic, the modern and the classic, the stern and the elated - while never losing focus of their mutual mission.

pitch black mirror is the new full length album from industrial techno veterans orphx. rich oddie and christina sealey have created a diverse and distinctive body of work over the last 23 years and this album may be their most definitive statement yet.

luv jam has the honour of being the first signing to the wph roster that survived the ongoing chaotic process of demo submissions via myspace or e-mail. it has to be said that luv jam was at the end of his wph wits after several friendly but stern denials by label boss red d. one last ditch 4am attempt proved that tenacity and patience are always rewarded, black beauty was right on the wph money and off we went.

big with: basic soul unit, ame, ingo sõnger, oliver hafenbauer, dixon, sevensol, dirk rumpf,roland appel,.. back from the initial mild pitch release >this feeling< last year, ribn deliver their overdue follow-up entitled >light black ep< - three tracks as ambivalent as the title suggests! the title track is a mesmerizing house/technohybrid of colourful darkness, reminiscent of classic early ribn releases: meandering synths and hypnotic sound fragments crawl around a stomping beat while the crunchy bass loop keeps moving things forward irresistably. first up on the flip side is >sin & figs<, a warm and pathetic summer gem that is destined to soundtrack any sunrise over the next couple of months. rich layer textures and sweet little melodies make this piece one of the most emotional moments of the mild pitch catalogue to date. closing the ep on b2 is >stonedrum<, a slow-motion house treat with oddly pitched vocals, a subtle groove and heavy low-end. its masked and fragile funkyness and crackling background noises complete a complex image that requires more attention than a 30-seconds preview clip to get a clue..

warehouse find of this moodymann classic. limited stock!
produced by kenneth dixon jr, this is the follow up to >i m doing fine< 12 with amp fiddler (mahogani 2 is only available in detroit apparantly..).
>runaway< is a one sided 12 with a lo-key vibe. it has a nice deep kick with claps added and fading away as the track progresses. also nice keywork again, crowd noises etc. quality! this one is probably gonna b rare not so long from now. huge tip!

tiagos interzona 13 label has two sold out and superb eps to its name already and we are very happy to present their third. tiagos unique reputation as a dj is matched by the distinctive quality of his productions primeira visao sounds like a track that might emerge in the mix on a vintage chicago cassette, iberican jazz-funk top lines and raw, snapping drum machines beneath. segunda visao could quite easily be a vintage black cock or noid release, a wonderfully psychedelic disco rewire, that goes way beyond the world of ten a penny edits finally cruzar facas takes a tougher path to dancefloor emancipation, marrying a fierce, pitched down techno groove to some seriously heady soundscape and tonal effects another beauty then from this outstanding, diverse and incomparable imprint.

the unifying atmosphere of the latest prruk 12inch by andreas florin is a hazardous one. with sublime high pitched tones and soaring sidechained beats, this is a top notch dancefloor record with elevating elements which gradually blend into a perfect package. with the dominant sound being reminiscent and yet thumping this is an all round venture into techno music. something for the collection as the sophomore package thats coming up is just as exciting as the first one.
