man power left his northern home and ran south of the border. this is his first offering for the esp institute. on side a, he proves that he truly is the tourist, delivering what we’re already toting as our summer anthem—a relentless hurricane drum pattern full of toms, timbales and splashes that lays the rhythmic foundation for his pacific chords and euphoric melodies–an undeniable floor-filler that invites all to dance unencumbered by the constraints of “functional” club music. with side b’s oye, man power rolls out a similarly vibrant combination of drums and rhythm, however he toughens up the aesthetic with a massive rolling acid bassline, only briefly letting up for a spot of layered marimbas and spriteful pads before culminating in an emotional finale. after spending a couple years churning out tracks for various labels around the world, man power has undoubtably shifted his narrative point-of-view and updated his sense of craft upon his induction to the esp institute. these two songs will throw a wrench in your holiday.

originally released via ascetic house in 2015, vereker’s grace tape owes much to the canon of vintage anti-music, exploring catharsis via a transgression of traditional compositional & technical values. working with the same thematic concerns of much of the more leftfield additions to the avian catalogue - in it’s more subdued moments, anxiety & dissafection, in it’s more high energy - pure hysteria - the recording pairs basic synthesis with warped vocals in the same manner as industrial progenitors throbbing gristle and steven stapleton (nurse with wound).
the reduced palette & crushed production aesthetic creates a powerful immediacy, with a twisted musicality being drawn - at times, kicking and screaming, out of the depths of the mix. like much of vereker’s best work on labels like lies & berceuse heroique, elements warp & twist uncomfortably within the tight confines of a reduced dynamic spectrum - creating a dark, heady energy. scetic house, the predominantly cassette only label, has seen appearances from la’s silent servant, northern electronics’ varg & avian’s own shifted - under his covered in sand alias.

resin label head & avian affiliate pris launches unbeknown white label series. pris offers up a floor-focused five tracker, hot on the heels of his debut on shifted’s avian imprint. where -this heavy heart- explored a more subdued aesthetic: tense, widescreen exercises in drone & reduced, heads-down club fare, unbeknown01 is fiery & immediate. three rolling 4x4 recordings open the ep, followed by a brooding half time dirge that segues into a noisy ambient cut to close

new 6 track avian release from chicago based musician connor camburn. comes with a printed inner and outer avian jacket. big support from avian fans...
avian s first release since absorbing its sister label mira comes from chicago based musician connor camburn under the alias litüus, with an entirely beatless collection that well establishes avian as the home for the kind of searching electronic experimentation that would have been found on the ten-inch focused imprint that shifted recently announced would merge with its parent label. the ep follows previous cassette releases under the litüus name for brave mysteries, notice recordings and mazurka editions and comprised entirely of real time single-take recordings on hardware instrumentation. shorn of percussive elements yet not without their own rhythmic structures, camburn s six compositions are free of immediate electronic genre influences and instead draw primarily on non-musical inspiration in addition to various other contextual reference points, as he sought to express ideas of the unraveling or -de-composition- of musical or architectural spaces through musical forms imagined as inverted contours and negative spaces.

h-productions proudly presents >funkhaos< by cari lekebusch. this follow-up release moves on right where the previous vinyl-only release >return to base< (hyb027) ended. both tracks are maintaining the same stripped down, solid sound pictures and simple arrangements - with no unnecessary elements, breaks or changes. if it needs more than 2 hands - then cari prefers not to do it. the retro sounding audio-pictures of >funkhaos 1 & 2< are intentionally created with the various h-productions releases in mind, that came out around 1993-1997. cari has since the beginning of the 1990s been releasing a steady stream of music on all types of formats, and to mark a reset - he is morphing the grid once again and is continuing the hyb vinyl catalog that shifted into the hp and hpx catalogs around 1997. take good care and see you out there! - with warm regards from stockholm

billy meier, the third record in the untold stories protagonist ep series, is by suokas, and includes a remix by alka rex. the works stem from the remote town of petrozavodsk in russia, where the artist suokas lives a life of diligent focus. the album is dedicated to billy meier whose extensive writings and transcriptions document his contact with extraterrestrial beings, largely from a civilisation called plejaren located a fraction of a second shifted from our own dimension. his works are devoted to widening consciousness and challenge what we conventionally accept as true. similarly inspired, suokas says my music is about things that cannot be proven by conventional methods.

first pressing in red black splatter! for the true and experienced lovers of authentic techno sound architecture, this record does not need much presentation. cari lekebusch has since the beginning of the 1990s been releasing a steady stream of vinyl records as well as all types of digital formats. since 1986 the personal label project of cari has been going through many phases of change. one of them being the ending of the hyb catalog numbered vinyl releases, and the beginning of the hp and hpx catalogs. to mark a reset and a >return to base<, cari is morphing the grid once again and will now continue the hyb catalog that shifted into the hp and hpx catalogs around 1997. the retro sounding audio-pictures of >return to base 1 & 2< are intentionally created with the various h-productions releases in mind, that came out around 1993-1997. both tracks are created with a cool, stripped down approach and recorded live with only what 2 hands can muster at once. live and direct from the hybrid productions headquarters! and not a cheeseburger break in sight! - with warm regards from stockholm

• follow up release to last year s side project by uk producer shifted
• full colour mira jacket design from silent servant...
revealed last year as a side project by uk producer shifted, covered in sand now returns with a new ep: crescent shaped scars will be released on the sister label of his own avian imprint mira, which serves as an outlet for the more experimental and duskier side of electronic music. the release features three abrasive noise workouts. thud of drums and ritualistic rhythms define the opener luarica on the a-side alongside a near-melodic whine that stays present throughout the tracks. orapa (an interview) on the flip swallows and evokes scuffed voices of a conversation, striving into isolation, while venetia resumes the haunting rhythm and layers of distortion. as per previous mira releases, the artwork is done by juan mendez aka silent servant

vinyl only - limited edition 180 gram pressing! >reforming digital waves by simple & elegant music patterns< - a straightforward mission statement for a new imprint, and one whose understated, direct manner shows the music-centered focus of wavereform as we reveal our first release. the >new sky< ep is the production debut of a mysterious new russian talent known as ivanov, and about whom little is known past his reclusive buddhist existence and his background in guitar, which is clearly evident on the title track. underlain by rising and falling atmospheric washes and understated percussion, >new sky< is propelled by a funky, jazzy and clearly organic keyboard solo that closely approximates his familiar stringed instrument in texture, tone, and musical development. next up is minimal legend soulphiction, who masterfully beefs up the original with a fat, growling bassline and more aggressive, hard hitting drums and claps that take the dreamy mood of ivanovs track and transform it into something more cosmic and psychedelic while retaining its musicality. on the flip, a new tune entitled >deep< gets revisited by lucidflow label heads klartraum, who have recently shifted their digital imprint to vinyl. here they bring things towards the dubbier end of the spectrum with a slow-building track that goes from hazy beginnings to an ominous, dramatic breakdown and then into a harder grooving second half. taken together, these three tracks are an auspicious beginning for a new name and label, and in fulfilling the stated goals offer great promise of things to come.
