there is significantly more than a scintilla of exuberance on cosmin trg’s first 2016 venture on his own fizic imprint. number four in the series further explores the dense textures present on last year siiiep, but largely dispenses with the ennui in favour of a different discourse. oblic offers a brisk groove that ebbs and flows among graphite-thin layers of percussion and sonic debris. the recurring dust sample amplifies the vigorous rhythmic attributes of the track, rendering it withprime dance floor capabilities. serpenti takes distant sparkles of mutant chimes, wraps them around the relentless pulse of thudding kick drum and soaks everything in static. granules and grit are extracted from circuitry with a focus on razor sharp sound system efficiency. produced by cosmin trg, transformed by matt colton at alchemy mastering, with original artwork from cosmin himself.

‘escape from reality’ as first track, goes down as a bleeping submarine, deep diving into underwater caves where a slow and hypnotic rhythm reverberates through ears and mind. second cut ‘alchemy’ continues the interdimensional explorations, and after long intro, it gradually detaches from the surface reaching a leaden sky. drums and claps alternates on a soundscape of constant roars, holding the track in a steady mesmerizing jingle. the b-side opens with ‘found myself’, edgy broken beat with a stronger and more club-oriented dynamism which finds its best shot in the last cut ‘chain reaction’. a ravishing synthline drives through tribalesque drums, snares and thunderclaps to close the record with a mystic vibe....

shift work are an electronic duo who have previously released on jd twitch’s glasgow label optimo. they debut on houndstooth with ‘document ii’, an ep developed from live jams on outboard analogue gear. ‘abandoned hands’ is lean and raw, an angular bassline and indecipherable vox punctuating the relentless 4/4 kick drum and pattering percussion. ‘sbfm’ is fuller-bodied, with the modulating bassline taking centre stage, draped in loose synths and topped with a deadpan vocal refrain. shift work invited remixes from their associates, with dva damas dialling down the tempo and stripping back ‘abandoned hands’ further still, whilst factory floor return to remix duty on houndstooth with a typically subtle yet infectious building groove. cut and mastered by matt colton at alchemy and limited to 500 copies worldwide.

akkord return with their first original music since june 2014s hth020 ep. obelisk is a study in rhythm and frequencies, suspended in space. on the minimalistic monolith, a single element is moulded into a 3-dimensional sound sculpture, an aural illusion of a lead weight that floats away into the ether. in contrast, megalith has a pulsing gravity, drawing in laser-guided blasts of bass, broadsides of pitched-down jungle, and echoes of distant birdsong and telecommunications as it journeys through the static of space. presented on heavyweight 10inch vinyl. cut & mastered by matt colton at alchemy.

we are proud to announce the double lp edition of echospaces phase90 project, lovingly remastered by bazza (abbey road studios/thom yorke) @ alchemy mastering, london. features unreleased new material and beautiful silk screened metallic sleeves and art direction from the very talented lindsay todd of firecracker recordings & house of traps. the entire album was bounced down to 1/4- analog tape prior to remastering to preserve the integrity of the masters. this project was deeply inspired by the possessive quality of supernatural textures, field recordings and found sounds conducted at the calvary cemetery. there is something quite haunting in the underlying tone of these recordings, an ominous feeling not for the fainthearted. -illuminati- celebrates the progression of the soul, a concept which stems from metempsychosis. the material on this album can be interpreted as sinistral--dark, heavy due to the hardware and its currencies emitted by its source--the phase 90. an acidic dream of transliminality, this is the first phase90 project to materialize in its essence, until now. limited to 500 numbered copies.

sacred geometry, complex polyrhythms and clean sound design all collide in the work of manchester outfit, akkord. with their critically acclaimed, self-titled debut album charting high in 2014s end of year lists, akkord are not resting on their success, and are already planning their next assault with this new body of work. hth020 consists of four tracks of much darker, moodier sounds, pairing monumental low-end frequencies with surgically precise production. the whole ep is centred around clammy, ominous atmospheres, underpinned by stomping beats and descending basslines, placing greater emphasis on the space in-between, and textured over with a doomsday ambience. the music that akkord create never strays out of their own minimalistic and direct approach to techno, but from there, and beyond, they touch on an ever-evolving variety of styles, which gradually drive us in front of an overwhelming and riveting soundscape. hth020 comes pressed on 180g grey vinyl, cut and mastered by matt colton at alchemy, with de-bossed artwork and a postcard insert.
