marthial’s parallel aspect is like a rorschach blot, sometimes looking closely at something makes you doubt it, sometimes what you imagine is only in your head. parallel aspect is a vinyl that embodies an artistic journey in search of authenticity and an escape from reality.
the canadian duo of gremlinz & jesta present their debut ep for metalheadz, a 4-tracker full of energy, emotion, progression and creativity. all corners are covered with the ethereal atmospherics provided by ‘nessus, the weighty and assertive sounds of ‘departed, the delicate and graceful nature of ‘the drift (which also features rumbleton), and the title track closing the ep administering a dose of funk to the release.
horo gives true artists the freedom to represent the full extent of their talent and it is not often the cerebellum is truly engaged with the genre we have grown from but music for the mind is one of our over-arching ideals. and so we come to *scope*, the 10th release, a full length compilation spread over 5 vinyl 12 inches. deviating somewhat from our vinyl only position up to this point, given the scale and magnitude of this project scope will also be released on cd & digital, although there will also be 5 vinyl only tracks by way of thanks to the vinyl buyers that have supported the label up to this point. 24 tracks of uncompromising, innovative music from horo mainstays and new artists alike, scope represents where we have come from, but moreover, where we will be going. this is just the beginning.
daniel helmer and ben manzone started making tracks as sycorax back in early 2011. since then they have self-released 2 in demand 12 inches. in the spring of 2012 they debuted their live all hardware set at the bunker in brooklyn. their second 12 inch titled orfamay quest was a top seller of 2012 at halcyon records. mike simonetti has known ben from sycorax for over 15 years, and is probably more proud of this release than any other to date. true underground sounds.

on the flip, data takes us back ten years ago, with the techie curfew. a sly sample invoking the terror of a war torn citys attempt to enact a curfew sits perfectly before this one truly takes off. this is another cut that doesnt try to be too much, just establishes a serious vibe and works very well in the mix. sound artillery what a perfect name for this label. weapons for mass consumption, tools for the audio soundclash, tracks that hurt you. and make you come back for more!
