unknown archetype aka roxy tripp & oliver kucera debut their visceral experimental techno for r&s on this four track ep.
unknown archetype is a collaborative project between roxy tripp, a british conceptual artist & music producer, and oliver kucera a czech born producer & live performer, residing in the netherlands. with an extensive background of solo projects in the underground scene, the duo began their collaboration together as unknown archetype in 2015. the tripp ep is an abrasive, visceral ep of electronic body music underpinned by themes of jungian psychology, symbolism and mythology. the industrial tech funk of lead track ‘voyeurism’ kicks things off - skittering breakbeats, squalling filters and blistering snares pile-driving the listener into ecstatic submission, while ‘tripp’ see the duo employing sizzling bursts of white noise and caustic percussion over a jagged rhythm box figure. matters are pared right back for the rigid austerity of closer ‘the serpent’ - the dubbed out lead stab quivers over a strobing 909 drum groove and scything cymbals. effortlessly balancing deep late night sounds with a unique character and intricate headphone centric programming, the tripp ep is a fitting and welcome addition to r&s’s storied catalogue.

over the years, lo recordings has taken pride in exploring a wide and broad range of sounds, genres and styles. to mark 20 years of lo recordings, we are taking a fresh and bold approach with our output to further explore the accelerating and refined developments in electronic music today. this is the first of our new phase of releases, a collaborative project between the two titans mr. g and k15. ‘a learning curve’ is exactly as the title suggests, an educational experience to un- derstand each other musically and technically, and to explore new territories and schools of thought. as avid users and fans of the mpc, as well as being extremely busy, both mr. g and k15 were given the same samples dug out of the lo recordings archives to each create a track which would remotely display their techniques and methods. this was quick- ly adopted to be the theme in a series of three releases to come out throughout the year from the pair. the results come in the form of mr. g’s mesmerising ‘navigate’ and k15’s introspective ‘the guilt within’, two very individual tracks in their own rights. ‘navigate’ is instantly recognisable as the work of its creator, armed and ready to bring the dance floor to hypnotic heights. with its rough and gritty sound, driving kick & synth stabs, and hauntingly majestic keys, we are thrown into peak of the night. on the flip, ‘the guilt within’ takes a turn to more ominous terri- tories, crafting an atmosphere on the other end of the spectrum to ‘navigate’. a beautiful and delicate journey carried along by light skipping percussion, immersive sweeping pads and a puls- ing sub which all come together to take the listener deep inside themselves.

the most powerful non-chemical flashbacks are induced by memories of adolescence—the time of your frst kiss, frst spliff, and those sounds that irrevocably alter the course of your life. calvin valentine’s “eugene” captures the intensity of those feelings. released on eyrst, it is a love story to the artist’s oregon hometown, replete with swooning strings, angelic melodies, extraterrestrial talkboxes, and evocative nostalgia. it’s rap, it’s r&b, it’s soul. it’s one of those indefnable albums that allows you to understand why genre is obsolete. it’s music—a timeless project from an artist who is acutely aware of how much time has elapsed. on eugene, valentine managed to do one of the most difficult things in music: write affecting love songs without coming off sappy, conveying the madness that sweeps you during the frst ?ush of teenage romance without losing a hip-hop edge. valentine’s eugene is a stark declaration of a singular talent. it’s the work of an artist fercely aware of what made him, who he is, what he loves, and where he’s going. this is an album about growing older and falling in love with different things but never forgetting those memories, never forgetting the place you’ll always call home.
the vinyl release includes a download code and a fold-out poster.

irrgang is the highly anticipated debut album of ossian ohlsson s vit fana project. representing a new generation of experimental musicians from scandinavia pushing the limits of contemporary industrial music, irrgang is the culmination of a process perfected over several years. while the comfortless drones, ear-piercing noise bursts and razor-sharp synth work may be the album s backbone, the signature trademark of earlier vit fana recordings is present in ohlsson s haunting vocals and the subtle hints of brutal beauty. a highly personal musical statement, irrgang stands with one foot firmly rooted in the tradition of early industrial noise music, while effectively creating a grotesque universe of its own.
