first compilation diving deep into the portuguese experimental scene from 80-90s on a double lp special edition

techniques berlin wurde 1984 von den schulfreunden andreas gregor und david rout gegründet und begann mit synthesizern, drumcomputern und gitarren zu experimentieren. in der anfangsphase war die band stark von den britischen new-romantic-bands the human league, visage, yazoo, omd und depeche mode sowie den aufstrebenden kanadischen synth-pop-bands rational youth, men without hats und trans-x beeinflusst. es dauerte ein paar jahre, bis sie ihre elektronischen spielzeuge beherrschten und eine einzigartige mischung aus süchtig machenden elektropop-melodien und wunderschön ausgearbeiteten alternativen beats kreierten.

welcome to ‘magic maze’ a guided meditation from oslo’s helene rickard. over two sides of a c60 cassette, the norwegian dj curates an immersive journey through imaginary landscapes and possible musics, marrying the organic and synthetic into a deep tissue massage of healing frequencies. showing infinite patience, the camp cosmic regular gradually oscillates between fourth world exotica and pastoral new age, at once opening our minds with the celestial splendour of crystalline chimes connecting us all with future primitive hymns. as we float along under helene’s benevolent gaze we encounter each of the elements, oceanic reverb, vaporous reeds, earthy drones and smouldering tones, each imparting its own ancient wisdom as we pass.
but enlightenment seldom comes without adversity and the mixtape’s most divine moments often appear in the wake of disorienting intensity. fortune favours the brave, and if you free your mind, open your heart and follow the twists and turns of the ‘magic maze’, your rewards with be both earthly and divine.

usurp is an anonymous collective of european artists joining into a unique platform in order to spread their similar musical vision, including idm and industrial sonorous experiments, without the need of labeling it, in favour of letting the music do the talking, almost as a protest against the common club culture paradigms.

its been four long years since glissando released the critically acclaimed with our arms wide open we march towards the burning sea and the duo finally return this november with a new record the world without us.

drawing from a rich sonic palette, man without country splice glacial guitar ripples with an eerie synth pulse to create music both complex and all embracing. their debut ep kicks off with king complex, taken from forthcoming album foe and indicative of mwcs ability to morph their source material into anthems when you least expect it, the tracks tinkling keyboard led intro exploding into a euphoric dancefloor chorus. the melody belies a darker sentiment behind the lyrics on king complex -you are a true parasite / and youre the bane of my life- ryan concedes that -they are personal and bitter-. this contrast between melody and lyric is a common theme across their debut long player. the six track ep features a further 3 tracks from foe Ð inflammable heart, ebb & flow and iceberg plus the sei a remix of king complex. xi is exclusive to this ep.
