after kicking off with a strong various artists release, mexican label calypso records returns to showcase the talents of argentine producer thomass jackson, who has previously been spotted on gomma amongst other labels. head rejection takes on a ghoulish 1970s vibe that sports a little schlocky horror and a little spaghetti western in its discoid grooves, while witzelsutch feels equally vintage but with a more cosmic lilt to its oddball tones. creepy pc gets more of that noirish goodness lurking around the mix, and then boot & tax come on board to remix head rejection with a heads down tribal patter that keeps the atmosphere of the original intact.

daß die belgier humor und eine vorliebe für körperlichkeiten besitzen, weiß man spätestens seit ihrem 94er erfolgsalbum »voodoo-u«, welches dank des exquisiten artworks vor allem in den usa zunächst einige ernsthafte vertriebsprobleme sein eigen nannte.
»our little secret« dürfte es in dieser beziehung wohl etwas leichter haben, wenngleich sontitel wie »rubber doll«, »fingerlickin� good«, »pussy« oder »man s best friend« keinen hehl daraus machen, daß man die inhaltliche fixierung keineswegs geändert hat.
aber wozu auch?! passen das kreisen um sex, lust und obsessionen doch hervorragend zu ihrem brillanten gemisch aus industrial , techno, bigbeat und pop. sängerin jade 4u gibt die vokalsichere schlampe, während der rest der band spielsicher für zuweilen ironisierte härte sorgt.
alles, bloß keine langeweile verbreiten, scheint das motto gewesen zu sein. und so jagt ein grandioses musikstück das nächste, verwöhnt den hörer ein ums andere mal mit phantastischen refrains und bleibt dabei immer dicht am industrialisierten dancefloor.

sonic groove�s latest high octane addition to the roster is berlin based british artist rebekah. rebekah has led a successful artist and dj career in the techno scene over the past five years with releases on the prolific clr and soma imprints as well as her own labels elements and decoy. her soma album from a few months ago entitled �fear paralysis� shows her artistic skills of having a wide range of flexibility as she weaved through many styles of techno from deep to hard.
taking her artistry into further realms of sound construction, rebekah ventures into a much harder industrial techno terrain with her latest four cut release entitled �into the black�. designed specifically with sonic groove in mind. �loose mechanics� & �conquest� are ferocious industrialized peak time techno pulverizers that will turn stone into dust.
�into the black� is an advant garde broken beat track with a pitch shifting, hauntingly dissonant string drone would be the perfect score for a sci-fi horror flick while �war cry� turns the blackness into a lighter shade of grey with it�s complexly designed chord driven emotions layered over a very intricately programmed drum rhythm.

its been a year or two since we featured a 12- single release from a new project. so hear at bearfunk we are really pleased to be releasing a cracker of a track. -gong bong-. it is from the caribbean house who are a new(ish) italian collective based around the core members of billy bogus & ferderico bologna. the original is one part slo-mo disco, one part psychedelic moondance and one part sci-fi horror movie. the track begins with swirling bass guitar and grinding synth before layering on a waft of sound effects and spooky keys. if the first two thirds of the track is a caterpillar then the last third is a butterfly as uplifting riffs and swirls of layered keys bring things to a crescendo. fellow italians the mushrooms project are up on remix duty first of all. they strip back the layers and concentrate on the growling bass and locked on pulsating synth. its back to the uk for the second remix where label honcho stevie kotey gets his percussion out for a drum, timpani and swing remix. stay tuned for more from the collective on bearfunk shortly.

the new jerusalem-based label raash records opens its doors to spread the city s heavy mind-bending sound. the label kicks off with a debut 7inch by producer/musician ilia gorovitz. it s an explosive mixture of raw drums, gut-shaking riffs and head-swirling synths, influenced by the 1970 s horror film soundtracks and today s bass-heavy electronica - a combination that makes it appeal equally to psych and beat heads alike. side a s -turmoil- is a dirty and aggressive mid-tempo slasher, backed with a krauty crawling horror downbeat of -simmering with no end- on the flipside. recommended for fans of mophono, the gaslamp killer, drumetrics and goblin.

the label from japan �florklang� has started up in 2016. now florklang is releasing the second vinyl by producer tk lawrence from brooklyn who debut from irish cavalier and played actively in dub pistols. the records include �they all float down here� that he expressed the influence of horror-core into creepy organ sound. also you could hear everywhere the taste of hip-hop and jazz from �tribute to where we come from� and �rap dinosaurs� in side b. the record includes 4 other various tracks that you could feel the new york abundant scene where he brought up. further more each track based on akai s950 and analogue machines when it has created.

in advance of new music from ben frost in 2017, bedroom community is excited to present the definitive recorded version of his 2013 opera and directorial stage debut, the wasp factory, based on the novel by the late iain banks.
setting his unwitting characters against the backdrop of vast, implacable forces of nature - storm, sea, fire, and even their own madness - frost reaches deep into his formidable arsenal to reveal an unexpected warmth, from the composer of electronic experiments like aurora and theory of machines. the focus here is on the live sound of the reykjavík sinfonia, recorded in abbey road�s studio ii and, for the first time, the human voice. he sets david pountney�s libretto to tuneful, even soulful vocal lines, an extraordinarily unreliable narrator describing scenes of extreme violence and horror in music of incongruous loveliness.

myor massiv proudly welcome fx and worldwide epidemic to the family. on the a-side the lord of darkness himself, demonic possession head honcho fx, does what he does best: dropping darkstyle bombs. gritty amens and howling horror pads, juxtaposed with a rather cheeky 80s pop sample. mum s the word. on the flip, worldwide epidemic perfectly threads the thin, imaginary line between jungle techno and hardcore proper on anthropomorphic, a 7 minute 4x4 epos that keeps on building and building, leading up to a synth laden climax of mid 90s squat rave proportions

one of the current techno scene�s �hidden treasures�, bristol based a sagittariun has discretely released a wide breadth of music over the last five years for labels like secretsundaze, hypercolour and his own elastic dreams label. two highly acclaimed albums in �dream ritual� and �elasticity� as well as fifteen eps have appealed to those who like their techno without frontiers, taking in blistering 140bpm techno, breakbeat idm and ambient dub with ease. his second release for hypercolour displays signs of crossover appeal at long last� lead track �vanishing point� has already been receiving early plays from the likes of laurent garnier (dropping it in his recent timewarp germany set), spencer parker and len faki. big pumping beats and spiralling fx fall aside to a lone breakbeat that ushers in one pretty special breakdown section. the childlike keys and fathoms deep synth stabs (straight out of the john carpenter school of fathoms deep synth stabs) have already drawn comparisons to the retro 80s vibes to be heard on the american sci-fi horror series stranger things. it�s a breakdown that takes the listener to an uncharted dimension, bookended by slammin� beats that acts as a perfect mood changer in any set. watch this one soar! �the pathway� keeps things on an all together straighter tip, an incessant tribal loop weaves and filters around a thunderous kick and shuffling hats, ebbing and flowing all the way in what might be a sagittariun�s most club-centric and stripped back production yet. matrixxman (dekmantel/spectral sound) is on hold to deliver a superb remix, pushing the original down a long dark tunnel for a growling and reverberating techno overhaul

frigio records is going back in time for its latest release, some 38 years into the past. back then a young newcastle man was experimenting with early electronic instruments and synths. mick clarke is his name and nearly forty years later he is still at it. two tracks have been borrowed from clarke s seminal games lp, each given a bit of modern boot polish from minimalrome s heinrich dressel and frigio father juanpablo.

-walls of the night- is a blissed out work of ambient prog rock abstraction. think rumbling horror score and soaring guitar strings. heinrich dressel offers a giallo dipped remix. the building bars of the original are maintained, beats added for ballast and darkened organ keys for a remake etched with murderous intent. the flip is introduced by the dreamy -time is now.- slender synthlines intertwine with gentle strings in a cerebral work. juanpablo tweaks the 1979 material. syrupy acid lines swim in meandering currents, a thick beat keeping time in murky waters of modulations and undulations.

uk producer martin jenkins needs no introduction. under his more commonly known aliases (pye corner audio, head technician, and more), he has mystified fans with his unique brand of synthesist nostalgia with numerous releases on ghost box, more than human, and further records. for this special 12-, martin revisits his past influences and crafts his first techno record. his fine-tuned programmer and production skills blind us with these 4 tracks of stomping dance floor killers. it s a totally new thing for martin and can be best described as straight up techno utilizing the pye corner audio sound palette. dive in and get lost. that 4th track!

the 12th installment in the falling ethics series is an adventurous piece of work. tensal and p.e.a.r.l. team up on this split ep to showcase their production styles which are mainly built around crafty drum loops and buoyant synth experiments.
tensal takes care of the a-side where he takes care of one flaming techno cut for the dancefloor which is followed up by two adventurous pieces of electronica.
p.e.a.r.l. also took care of three cuts on the b-side. the opening track �joy of rapture� is a straight forward demonstration of machine heavy techno. �fall before you� is a deep and soul wrenching cut that showcases p.e.a.r.l.�s more delicate side. �red flame� is a piece of horror reminiscent ambient.

ed davenport continues his full-spectrum techno experiments as inland with an elegant new ep on counterchange entitled coriolis. the title track coriolis is a moody 10 minute voyage with a morphing synth array at its core - bright, detuned stabs are layered upon tough rhythmic foundations. the jagged metallic lead builds, unearthing harmonic bleep accents and syncopated fx swells, before folding in on itself leaving the effective tribal drum section to ride on. d10d3 plows forward with an urgent staccato sequence, segueing into italo-horror filter sweeps and noise-laden moments of drama. finally tsereteli is a more reduced modern dub study, continuing ed s long running fascination with tranced-out time stretching and after-hours vibes. the 9th release on the label, the record features cover art by uk artist guy archard and is pressed on 180g vinyl.

jax dax returns on the magic waves label with a 5-track ep of hard-edged twitched-out horror-fuelled paranoid psycho-techno for your mind, body and soul. a soundtrack to the nightmare future-world of earth in the 21st century, the rave resistance is back with a bang and kicking off here. move fast, copies are limited.

a soundtrack for the contemporary -vinti- (defeated) with its dark and at the same time sparkling flavor of the 80s sounds between cold wave, synth pop and imaginary electronic atmospheres. this record with its horror-framed and distopic scenario (-slot machine-) reveals a content of social criticism healed through the warm and evocative indulgence of -che male c e-.

mondo is proud present the premiere vinyl release of the soundtrack to the haunting, original playstation title �silent hill�. don�t let the tone of the plucky mandolin driven opening track fool you, this is one of the most haunting soundtracks we�ve ever released. full of hair-raising, pulse-pounding, industrial cues - this soundtrack is the stuff of nightmares - which is important, since �silent hill� (and its subsequent sequels) has it�s feet planted firmly in the legacy of survival horror gaming.

invada veröffentlicht den score zur britischen independent-horror-komödie prevenge. toydrum sind pablo clements und james griffith, die unter anderem auch bei unkle tätig sind. zudem haben sie mehrere soundtracks produziert, darunter für die tv-serie this is england von shane meadows. prevenge erinnert stilistisch an den film sightseers von ben wheatley, horror und britische comedy kommen hier ideal zusammen. Ähnlichkeiten sind nicht zufällig: die filme teilen sich die hauptdarstellerin und den drehbuchautor. der score von toydrum ist düster, elektronisch und passt ideal zu invada.

selected advent deal. charlois present where is the champion, timothy j. fairplay s first full length solo album. twelve shifting, shuffling and shimmering tracks make up this debut. cruising the highways and byways between proto-techno, horror disco and forlorn wave, fairplay conjures up his creations from metal and smoke. saturated snares, clipped claps and warbling chords are dusted with distortion. and this idea of distortion, manipulation and the blurred line is omnipresent. innocent and sinister, cruel and playful, accepted boundaries are brazenly ignored as engines growl and synthlines soar.

third instalment of the unknown entity series, this ep delivers four tracks of science fiction and horror soundtrack inspired techno. the a side is dominated by two floor ready cuts, lurching thumper feart and a devastatingly broken remix by serbian producer scalameriya. side b trips into leftfield territory with sleep deprived creeper peripheral visions. the serbian connection continues with lag delivering an offkilter franticly driving reworking of the original.

frigio is beyond proud to release the first album from alessandro parisi s sepulchral dwelling pseudonym hesperius draco. donning the ceremonial robes, the conventions of house, techno and horror soundtracks are blurred as past, present and future merge. stalking darkness and light, bordering the divine and profane, -actus tragicus- pulls the dancefloor into the murky shadows of rome. ritualistic chants, chilling choirs and hissing beats are brewed across two slabs of vinyl. bpms dip and rise as hesperius draco takes you on a winding journey through the catacombs of his world.

komponist roque banos hat schon scores für filme wie �der maschinist- (mit christian bale) und das remake von �evil dead� (regie: fede alvarez) produziert. seine neue arbeit für �don�t breathe� katapultiert ihn in den olymp der suspense- und horror-soundtracks. die vinyl-ausstattung ist - wie bei invada üblich - edel: klappcover, bedruckte inner-sleeves, orangefarbenes vinyl, downloadcode. �don�t breathe� ist nunmehr auch in den deutschen kinos zu bestaunen und in den top 10 der kino-charts. in den usa wurde der film ein so großer erfolg, dass er sogar -suicide squad- vom thron der kino-charts stieß. nicht schlecht für einen horror-film mit kleinem budget. die frankfurter allgemeine zeitung schreibt: �nein, das ist kein schockschrott, das ist eine echte horrorkinoperle: das dunkelkammerspiel �don�t breathe� von fede alvarez zeigt, wozu das genre fähig ist.� ein großer teil der nervenzermürbenden atmosphäre baut auf roque banos akustisches setting - statt klassischer instrumentierung gibt es hier düstere soundscapes.

them records welcomes back hiroaki iizuka for the its fifth outing. having supplied the the run as the labels first record, here iizuka doubles its play time and track listing length in his stunning voodoo ep. the extra time offered allows iizuka to flex more of his versatile style. them as a label sets out to eschew a techno norm largely made up of a traditional 4 x 4 sound. having come from a london background, the curating of the label gives a nod to the rave sounds of the capital - especially d&b, garage, breakbeat hardcore and grime. that is to say of course along with its characteristic aesthetic of horror and the gothic.
in iizuka them found a common ground: based in hokkaido, japan, iizuka does not share the same london influences, yet shares their base values and thrust. common themes of his sound involve broken and syncopated beats, and a rave energy. this is what lead him to being the first and prime them stable artist. voodoo ep showcases this breadth of iizuka�s style, from tracks that could easily fit into any grime set, such as primitive acid, to the more melodic tones of floating point, in which hiroaki guides them into previously untrodden ground for the imprint.

�satan�s slave� is the latest release from moscovitch music (terror/prey), the brainchild of producer/compiler joel martin (quiet village/velvet season & the hearts of gold/maxxi & zeus) whose �de wolfe music� compilations �bite hard/bite harder� are considered essential primers of the library genre. this holy grail black-magic british jazz soundtrack from 1976 is the most requested movie score of cult film composer and top english jazz saxophonist/flautist - john scott (symptoms/wake in fright/craze). for aficionados of rare library music and obscure horror soundtracks this is an essential album.

joel grind (sole member of toxic holocaust) takes time out from delivering bone crunching extreme metal and has hot-wired a battery of analog synths for his debut release on death waltz originals.
alongside pentagram home video and slasher film festival strategy, this record represents the very best of the new wave of synth artists inspired by a love for cheap horror films of the 80�s and their unique synth soundtracks. the record pulses with chugging aggressive keyboards and layers of sound helping create a fully immersive listening experience that, although based in the past, has its sights very firmly set in the future.
pressing on black 180 gram vinyl.

the record opens with utopia , a luminous, evocative and fascinating track by the german artist hyboid, the undoubted leader of space and cosmic sounds. the british artist kid machine replicates on the same album side with the track fighting fears , which includes echoes of disco and den haag sounds. on the other side of this 12inch, we will listen first to monologues , a hypnotic-percussive track signed by the renowned french artist in aeternam vale. non auro, sed ferro by hesperius draco closes down the album, fizzing among their usual coordinates: horror disco, retro wave and soundtrack sounds.

it s not all minimal techno in romania, as the p-balans crew ably demonstrate on this second release from local hero the holy fix. the synths come down thick and gloopy on -the void- before -slagwise- ramps up the horror tones with a perfect distillation of what makes a soundtrack pop off. this is nightmarish disco music in the vein of maiovvi and the like, and it s delivered impeccably. there is a greater focus on club tones amongst the atmospheric fx on tracks & traps though, with -quite vicious- in particular conjuring up a thrilling, madcap romp through buffed up disco techno.
