>giza< is the brilliant new ep from chicago/ny electronic duo gatekeeper, following their debut on kompakts fright imprint last year.

part 2 of 5 in the dubkasm remix saga, featuring mixes by appleblim & gatekeeper, hyetal and forsaken!

chicagos gatekeeper have been key in helming a new wave of gothic, analog fuelled disco gaining inspiration from their home town wax trax heroes and the legendary film scores of slasher/horror films from the likes of goblin, john carpenter and claudio simonelli.

new release on eye teeth by israel vines featuring the hybrid techno bass electro anthem “gatekeepers”, the dark techno gem “unscathed” and the ambient “repose in dub”. we started this sublabel as way of exploring pure and experimental techno in an entirely contemporary context (where it often uses historical lenses and a wider musical context). this is techno from detroit and america, not detroit techno. we would like to see american techno evolve, and this new imprint is an attempt to be a catalyst in that arena. this ep was pre-mastered by neel at enisslab studio in rome. the vinyl was mastered by carl at trutone and pressed at archer records in detroit.

franky b and friends present rave anomalies.

soulquencies is a perfect harmony of deconstructed soundsystem music. beautifully rebuilt with ambient textures, it hints towards grime and steppers while all the time melodious, musical and underpinned with bass weight. it perfectly transcends from clean and heavenly harmonies to bass pressure and grit – icy to warm in a masterful way. this is the first full length album on scrub a dub and we couldn’t be prouder of this piece of music, which is equally at home on a hi-fi or a soundsystem. soulquencies is the brand new album from the artist aquarius, a classically trained musician from tokyo who cut his teeth in the music industry in glasgow in the early noughties. he hosted some of the city’s frst dubstep nights bringing artists like silkie and goth trad, and taking small basement sessions into the bigger clubs, supporting mala at the art school. he played at some of the frst outlook festival parties and was a trusted tour engineer for mungo’s hi fi soundsystem, before returning to tokyo where he distilled his experiences and musical vision into this project.

in the place of the eternal blazing sun there exists an underworld, a dark and cold space of interlinking caves and dank corridors. occupying the subterranean land is an army of worker drones, busying themselves with a never ending series of tasks, both laborious and mechanical.

nick lapien has been sharpening his music sound a number of monikers, metropolis, nepal and his own name. on labels like other heights and sequencias the dutch man has moulded smoke stained chicago, textured techno and drifting ambient

this is necro deathmorts first foray in the world of vinyl. and, as you would expect again, it is yet another change of pace for the duo, supplementing their doomy ambience and whirlpools of 23hz low-end with 70s evil filthy synth and 90s harsh, pummeling techno, with frequencies cutting, slicing and bursting all over the place. think the likes of the the tuss, goblin, underground resistance, john carpenter, maybe even tangerine dream, surgeon, or the horrorist.

goldie nutzt die einmalige chance und gestaltet seine >fabric live 58< als verkšrperung des metalheadz-mantras: stets auf der suche nach neuen wegen und formeln, um drum & bass auf eine intelligente, tief-spirituelle und ursprŸngliche ebene zu hieven, befreit von schnšrkeln, immer konzentriert auf die natŸrliche substanz dieses sounds. anhand vieler tracks seines vorzeigelabels metalheadz sowie von seelenverwandten kŸnstlern befreundeter, progressiver labels kreiert goldie hier ein mixset mit schŠrfe und vision, das der zeit standhŠlt. einfach, grundlegend, unkaputtbar. ein zeitloses statement eines rastlosen visionŠrs fŸr die ewigkeit!
