Releases from artist / Veröffentlichungen von : The Subliminal Kid

great club-suited trippy bouncing technotracks by these resident djs of stockholms no. 1 underground club fukt!

the third limited release on off-key industries is once again a return to the darkside of the rave at a time when many commentators bemoan the general lack of ideas heard on contemporary techno dancefloors, and talk of the death of minimal. this release features the subliminal kid, an up and coming swedish producer who has previously recorded tracks for delsin sub label ann aimee. on the original version, the subliminal kid lives up to his nomenclature, crafting a series of subtly dark grooves - under which rages a barely contained elemental storm threatening to engulf the track itself and any who stand in its way. like the very best techno, it articulates emotions that haven t been named yet, and more besides. on the flip, label head honcho matt o brien s house re-interpretation twists time and space by melding a lulling groove with devastating offbeat rave stabs that spit and judder to a screaming crescendo. managing to be deep, dubbed out and savage simultaneously, listening to this track is like bearing witness to a poltergeist breaching our dimension. strictly limited to 500 copies only, no re-press!

anne amiee continue to represent the forward thinking abstract dub sound…. marchos enochson (maw records, sonar kollektiv, still music) teams up with fellow swede, the subliminal kid on the prettiest looking label around. two solid tracks of delta funktionens mix takes things into murkier territory. bad

supported by ame, ben watt, dixon, dean da costa, jimpster, alex from tokyo, dj simbad, dj deep and many more.. stunning deepness guaranted

no, only in sweden definitely illustrates markus enochsons new journey in sound. no, only in sweden is aimed straight for peak time. more techy than markus previous productions, it is a killer house tune with stunning key stabs that build up to a climaxing riff. markus also decided to invite newcomer the subliminal kid to share a slice of this great 12. already hammered by gilles peterson and quoted as his kind of house music, the chord song is an instant classic that could be representing the new wave of house music where boundaries between house and techno are thin and the feel is definitely old school. huge tip !!!

you know when the dj drops something so special you’re mentally forced to ask for the track and the reply you get is ”its my own unreleased track”. that’s how i (art alfie) stumbled upon all three of these. about ten years ago i witnessed van rivers & the subliminal kid (peder mannerfelt) turn berghain upside-down with the dark techno epos ”mars attacks”. around the same time i had the luck to see nils westerlund boogle minds with the broken beat psychedelics of ”suspiria” at a stockholm open air. last but not least, a couple of years ago i heard ”thicker than blood” for the first time, like the sirens in greek mythology, it lured people on to the dance floor at stockholms classic summer hot spot f12. i’ve been playing these tracks ever since and im beyond happy i get to share them with the world at this point. //art alfie
