the 2nd longplayer from hydrogensea on transparent turquoise vinyl.

p.e.a.r.l. is no stranger to the weekend circuit inner circle. having released his desolation ep on the london label in 2015, his unique and refreshing productions slot comfortably in to the label s sonic aesthetic. pulsating, submerged field recordings and natural sounds bristle next to menacingly hewn tones, rhythms and textures, creating a strange and disorientating environment across 4 parts. ep opener body arched i encapsulates this alien-esque landscape, beckoning us into the p.e.a.r.l. sound-world. slowly unwinding drones gradually draw us in, layers of almost synthetic jungle sounds, field recordings and eerie atmospherics create images of unseen landscapes in our minds. one gets the impression that is merely the calm before the storm, it will be a long, dark and revealing night. second part body arched ii ups the ante considerably, a blistering assault on the senses. cavernous kick-drums dance with repeated synth lines and synewaves creating a narcotic, unforgiving and swirling miasma of epic proportions. body arched iii opens the second side of this formidable slab of vinyl. the energy levels are still high, the mood somewhat foreboding. unapologetic, urgent and oozing kinetic energy this 3rd movement continues on a journey that will sweep you deeper into the blackest night, all systems failed, flying blind. in the right hands a piece like this can wield colossal power. the fourth and final part of body arched taps into a more psychedelic vein, a minimalistic mantra-esque piece that continually spirals to the very outer edges of restraint. listen closely and you can hear the shamans feet kicking up dust in the clearing. a pensive and sparse piece and the perfect note on which p.e.a.r.l. will leave us bewildered.

perc’s third album “bitter music” pushed his sound to further extremes than ever before when released in april of this year, winning widespread acclaim and launching a worldwide tour to support it. now the album returns with two eps of interpretations for a diverse selection of remixers most of whom are new to perc trax. this first ep of remixes takes in head front panel’s constantly building, pulsating version of deep album moment “the thought that counts”, hodge’s bristol meets london meets berlin stepping take on “chatter” and a screwfaced broken version of album opener “exit” by rising blackest ever black star pessimist.

medical records presents the third release in our transfusions 12- singles series. certain creatures (born oliver chapoy) currently resides in brooklyn, ny but has a career dating back to the early 90 s. he has roots in the miami hardcore scene that evolved into post-rock and even electronic pop (warm ghost). he began exploring electronics as certain creatures in 2013 with a 12- on styles upon styles with guest vocals from stuart argabright which led to oliver producing the 2014 black rain comeback record on blackest ever black. in 2015, oliver created a lush and enthralling lp vipassana, also released on styles upon styles. for this particular release for transfusions, oliver sought to step out of his production bias comfort zone by recording live takes with minimal editing and production in order to maintain a dirty, raw, haze-filled warehouse aesthetic. mission accomplished! the 12- contains 5 tracks total of uncompromising techno which we are ecstatic to unleash on the world. presented on classic 160gram black vinyl in our transfusions 12- sleeve. mastered by martin bowes at the cage studios, uk. crucial material for fans of surgeon, regis, as well as labels such as downwards, mote-evolver, and the like.

undefined 005 is made by the legendary s-max. labelhead (together with fym) of the famous freaked and forward electronic musiclabel boogizm started back in 2000. we are more than honored to present him on undefined!
this ep will take you on a freakshow of yorkshire bleeps, wonky basslines and 4/4 approach on house/minimal/broken beats. the tracktitles are as ingenious as the tracks itself.
don’t sleep on this future classic!

when it comes to ossia, blackest ever black perhaps summed it up best in describing him as -one of the bristol underground’s most vital behind-the-scenes operators.

after a fabulous summer and a mind-blasting krake festival, killekill takes its next step and kicks off another new label called vanta series, which is destined for small series of 12-es with out-standing dancefloor tracks. the name derives from vantablack, a colour from nano technology, which is the blackest black and actually invisible. vanta therewith stands for the total emptiness and is the perfect name for a label which does not have a defined identity itself but is a platform for different series, which will all have a concept and aesthetic in itself. the first series is called -the end is near-. it consists of 4 releases and comes with an artwork by french artist elzo durt. every release will contain a small poster, all four posters put together become elzo durt s piece -les anges de l apocalypse-. first record is by dez williams, who also released on shipwrec and bass agenda recently. a-side acidbanger is a serious banger and has future acid classic written all over it. the b-side comes with two acid variations - one more stingy, one emotional and psychedelic - which show the potential of this outstanding producer. open your ears and put the needle on - here is some acid!

december is the alias of paris based techno producer tomas more. having released a slew of respected releases under his full name, tomas is mutating his focus towards the a more experimental realm with his work as december. ‘on a leash’ proceeds tomas’s sold out debut cassette for where to now?, and a 12” for blackest ever black ‘in advance of the broken arm’. december’s latest offering for where to now? explores resoundingly tuff and metallic, largely analogue sounding techno jams.

following an acclaimed release on ancient monarchy and ahead of his debut for blackest ever black, rhythmic theory returns to idle hands for the third time. ‘future tense’ channels the spirit of era defining mid-90s dnb but twists it with a contemporary techno feel. a contemporary of livity sound and hodge, rhythmic theory’s music sits closely to theirs but with a distinct sound palette all of his own.

in june 2011 subtext recordings was restarted after a six year hiatus for the release of the second lp from emptyset, titled >demiurge<. this album represented a transition from the first two subtext releases, a pair of seminal experimental recordings from the groundbreaking duo vexd, switching path into a new terrain that allowed for the distortion and dissolution of the sequencer grid and shifted the focus of the label from the programmed to the composed.
through this development subtext recordings has evolved into a conversation between emptyset, the ex-vexd artist roly porter, and composer paul jebanasam, who has spearheaded the revival of the label. this new release continues this dialogue by commissioning both porter and jebanasam to respond to the material contained within >demiurge< and develop their own interpretations of the original album.

brand new label london label features superb karl o connor remix ! new from london based upstart diagonal comes a four tracker of tough, skeletal rhythms from label boss powell. revelling in mechanical hooks, cold, brittle percussion and unfamiliar time signatures, powell pursues new modes of dancefloor dread but is unashamedly indebted to the past to: (amongst others) the propulsive funk of suicide, the linear surge of nitzer ebb and the uncompromising force of mika vainio. no wave new york remains more of an inspiration than bass-heavy london, as does the vision and encouragement of friend and blackest ever black owner, kiran sande. diagonal would like to thank downwards boss karl o connor regis for his love and support and, of course, for the bleak and brilliant rework he has contributed to this first release. thank you karl...

alex under is the man behind dolly la parton and what he delivers is just pure dancemania: original, raw and groovy, both tracks included in this release are pure slices of music madness. its just a thing blends jazz improvisation with techno euphoria while cornbread, fish & collard greens may be the deepest, blackest and funkiest dance track of 2010, a ritual of rhythm invention and futuristic manipulation

without much need for introduction, archipel welcomes the talent of minus niederflur who bring with them the darkly blinding >lumen ep<. a lumen is a unit used to measure the perceived power of light and this ep is most definitely very powerful and certainly can be perceived as such. this is where the line between something as intangible as light is crossed and becomes tangible as one would feel an intense and warming heat which goes so far as to manifest itself as something with mass. title track >lumen< is the focused, convex lens, knife edge point of light which focuses a small portion of the suns energy so densely it could initiate many a blaze. >masse< is as dense as the most solid of gems and radiates dark light like heavy water and is sure to corrupt any geiger counter within its radioactive reach while >flor< stacks itself as high and wide as it can go, building further and further upon itself, and just as one would think it could build no further, it rotates itself back to within and further densifies, an inescapable sort of density of which one is eternally locked pleasurably within. >flucht< raises one into the blackest skies of night and flies hour after hour through blood orange clouds filled with the atmospherically scattered light from what was temporarily civilization below but is now just a memory shaded in the delight of being closed within the phosphorescence of late night fog.
