electronic arts pioneer, activist and researcher konrad becker (aka monoton) teams up with vocalist sela for a project with a mission: unveiling operations in a shadow world of mediated realities. linking 21st century technology to ancient communication practices in several directions at once the hypermedia wizard and the young viennese singer celebrate the powers of media over matter. sound becomes a weapon against operation systems of containment and to be buried alive by technologies of symbolic domination. operations not only gives a voice to radical discourse - but basslines and a deep groove.

this music encompasses two worlds, lives in between territories - between techno and noise, the far end of a darkened club and a dreaming mind’s afterthoughts. very earthly and deeply rooted, it sometimes appears fragmented, full of sonic embroideries, full of sonic dirt, even. like two universes colliding, imploding one on the other, giving birth to a new space, without boundaries or restraints. something to dance to, on a spaceship. sergie rezza is the musical meeting of romain poncet and dj deep.

as with the best techno, the best minimalist records, the best krautrock ventures, this first model alpha lp hints at a weird sense of time, not totally of the past, not totally of the future, not at all of the present. something in between, a time travel machine that can take you on a random journey. listening to those tracks is a bit like making time’s flow stop.

ike yards *loss* from their timeless self-titled 1982 album, remixed by regis, pressed on translucent, single sided vinyl.

jbla came into being after julian jöckel (midnightopera) and stuart argabright (ike yard, black rain, o13) performed at a party in brussels on the 5th of oct. 2012 on invitation from bernardo risquez & michael langeder (different fountains). they all had met for the first time the year before through michael kreitz from meakusma when different fountains & o13 played concerts in eupen. after staying at different fountains studio the day after the brussels event they set up a rather improvised jam session. julian played synth on a yamaha dx7, bernardo worked the low frequencies on an old eminent organ while michael contributed machine sounds and took care of the live fx engineering. stuart put together some words and brought a beat to the occasion of the jam session at the df studio. during the short euro tour with ike yard, l.i.e.s label head ron morelli and artist svengalisghost came to the paris show and were talking with stuart about the streetwalkers of belleville, specifically the sad chinese hookers out on the street. combined with news about recent foxxconn workers suicides in china and witnessing altercations close to the air bnb where he stayed. the belleville ep are two cuts from that session with remixes from ron morelli + svengalisghost and vereker, pressed on translucent vinyl.

ike yard came into being as no wave passed on, industrial was in the air and proto-techno had yet to be coined. propulsive, paranoid, aggressive electro minimalism, with as much attention paid to the mixing board and effects processors as to vocals, guitar and synth. at once starker and more fully-formed than virtually all other contemporaneous post-punk music. desires 2012 edition represents the first ever vinyl reissue of this classic, prophetic album. the line-up for the third remix ep includes a great deal of diverse music.
this is a 12 inch vinyl release, limited to 500 copies. grey vinyl, black inner-sleeve. artwork by stephen americh, inspired by the factory america design for ike yard…

*mort à vegas* (death in vegas in french…) is the new 12 inch e.p. by adrien viot aka av, one of the finest protagonist on the new frenchy but chic electronic pop scene. &#8232,,,av sings the nightlife, paid sex, alcohol over-consumption, desire under the neon lights, dark side of the american dream, driving a black cadillac drunk to death. this ep contains a dreamlike remix of *mort à vegas* by death in vegas (as the track was probably written with him in mind!) but also a cover of french singer dominique a, known in france for being the one who launched the new french scene that drove the renewal of the french pop. av has still this elegant crooner voice that slowly caresses you before driving you on the dancefloor, so let his deep voice and those melodic synths & guitars seduce you.

the early blitz singles (never surrender and warriors) and first lp, voice of a generation were raw, down-and-dirty oi! records with uncompromising sore-throat vocals. but then the group splintered into two camps, and engaged in a power struggle to retain the blitz name, and the contract with no future. the camp that eventually won and released this second lp in 1983 changed the bands direction drastically.
