london brutalist dream team of label boss perc and regular perc trax artist truss! limited 1st pressing comes on clear vinyl in a clear poly bag and double-sided insert

after the joyful mess caused by brandy on adventurous dancefloors, qoso goes deeperwith three subwoofer-friendly tracks mixing house, techno, and just enough sonic dirt. hard on the boulevard has proved its efficiency already on some of the sweatiest parisian dancefloors. solidely grounded on a a slightly saturating bassline, it gets its driving force from a melodic sample fighting to get out of its cutoff filters and will sneaky easily as a peaktime weapon in every dj bag. it is as simple a that, really.

forward strategy group, one of perc traxs central acts return with their first ep since their debut album labour division was released in may of last year. since then they have gigged around europe including gigs at berlins two temples of techno, berghain and tresor and have had their album tracks remixed by uk industrial/synth fusionists factory floor and perc traxs man in athens, sawf.

if you look into the night sky you can see a shadow of the headless horseman and his steel. this time around he has taken perc prisoner in the graveyard. as we know, decapitation does not come without con- sequence. rumor has it that the horseman is continuing his journey throughout the land and will strike again so beware.

paula temple joins the r&s fold as the first female solo artist to be signed in the labels 30 years history. her first release speck of the future was way back in 2002 and gained her the support of jeff mills, claude young, dave clarke and the late john peel amongst others. after co-developing one of the first midi controllers for dj/live performance and teaching kids in her neighbourhood how to dj, paula temple finally returns to her first love - techno music.

the limited selected edits series continues with a new track from mike parker and a remix from perc

percs *work softer* (perc tracks 019) revisited by desonanz and orphx.

parisian techno enfant terrible mondkopf makes a rare excursion away from his fast rising in paradisium imprint to deliver an ep for perc trax, a label that clearly shares mondkopfs love for the experimental, the industrial and the distorted. across these three tracks the french producer applies an overdriven, fuzz-heavy aesthetic to symphonic broken beat techno. think ancient methods or perc at their most uncompromising but then expanded in every direction heavier bass, sharper highs and an orchestral edge that is epic without ever coming across as contrived.

perc trax is proud to unveil the debut ep by pinion, known in a former life as us-based producer bobby dowell. pinion is the sound of a man with his own vision of music, sitting somewhere between classic industrial and contemporary techno without slavishly bowing down to either discipline. where the likes of ancient methods and perc are the sound of metal on metal, pinion is more like wood on leather, a ceremonial throb that switches in an instant from tightly locked grooves to more freeform rhythmic patterns.

rounding off the ep is ‘hackney’, a 4/4 jackin’ acid stomper, with a sound that is at the forefront of the current uk renaissance in stripped down, in-yer-face techno.

perc is back on sleaze records after the success of his wicker & steel album on perc trax last year. we now introduce his latest work in the shape of pure & simple, which is a massive acid techno track! its great to welcome ben sims on remix duties for this one! ben has been in splendid form production wise recently, with big releases on drumcode & theory most notably. the final remix is by german producer sawlin, who releases regularly on labels like vault series & ann aimee!

perc trax is proud to unveil the 2nd 12inch to be taken from forward strategy groups debut album labour division. since its release at the end of may the album has received across the board dj support and press coverage with a 4/5 review from resident advisor and even a full page in the guardian about fsg and perc trax. the album has also had launch parties in amsterdam and london and has seen the fsg guys crossover outside of techno to be featured in the wider music press including the quietus and stool pigeon.

from his earliest demos to his current position as a key figure in the global techno scene, perc (aka ali wells) has taken the established forms of the music he loves and twisted them into something new and fresh. building up successful relationships with scene-leading labels such as drumcode, ovum, kompakt and clr whilst unleashing a strong run of releases on his own perc trax label has seen percs influence and support grow even further. with each release his sonic experimentation has taken another leap forward without losing sight of the dance floor.

first on decks !!! on stroboscipic artefacts 014 xhin and perc explore the savage side of the dance floor with four punishing tracks.

on the heels of the hugely successful m.a.d.a. + plankton single >antiz<, hidden once again looks to france for another huge techno release. this time they tap the next hidden recordings artist from france, the young master of bass, alejandro trebor, who shakes the pillars of heaven with this massive original. >quemadura del sol< is well-crafted big room techno to keep the dance-floor in a frenzy. long time followers of the label may also sense the overall arc of the label on hiddens 15th release, the laidback textural techno of >wolkenreise< to the festival sound system sized >quemadura del sol< with a focus on high quality originals coupled with a diverse range of remixes from the top names in the global techno scene. its a recipe for success that has seen hidden join the company of some of the genres most trendsetting labels in 2011. hiddens latest >quemadura del sol< deserves all of your attention as one of premier releases this fall. remixes this time are handled by a balanced mix of established heavyweights and emerging new artists shows that hidden has its fingers on the pulse beat of the dance floor. the ep is ably book ended by another incendiary remix from label owners, deepak sharma + dieter krause.

played and supported by chris liebing, tommy four seven,speedy j, adam x, norman nodge, colin dale, dave ellesmere, brendon moeller, audio injection, forward strategy group, arnaud le texier, ness and more.
second release for the label created by darkcell. another step in the deep darkness of the modern techno, industrial, where the sounds come together to repetitiveness. sounds powerful but always hidden by a fog that makes the original track for a walk in our modern times. the remix of perc (perc trax, clr, etc.) makes the whole vision faster and stressful .. creating a set of rhythmic and repetitive sounds that destroy and alter any vision around ourselves. the version of bcr boys (nachtstrom schallplatten, darknet, etc.) has drawn much more syncopated, and industrial, the sound cut the atmosphere created by the syncopated rhythms ... a set of mysterious forces surrounding the whole track. power of darkness!

cutlass is the 12 inch that precedes >sword< xhins forthcoming full-length album on stroboscopic artefacts. four tracks from the album have been selected and spliced into completely new forms by four producers with very separate agendas. the minds, computers and analogue tools of surgeon, dadub, pfirter and perc have extracted new visions from xhins >sword< with nothing short of scientific pre - cision.

opening up the first of two wicker & steel remix eps is clr’s tommy four seven, a producer whose own debut album came out to a great response earlier this year. tommy switches start chopping’s 4/4 rhythms for his own broken beat foundation and adds a whole new world of bass to the track. the original’s pads echo around the soundscape as each break brings back a tougher version of the beat.

early support from marcel dettmann, dvs1, shifted, lucy, par grindvik, tommy four seven, speedy j, asc, go hiyama, xhin and many more.
perc traxs transatlantic duo donor / truss return to the label for the follow-up to their >indifference ep< which was released at the start of 2010. since then they have recorded and remixed for a number of high-profile labels, most notably stroboscopic artefacts to which donor contributed an ep to the labels renowned monad series whilst truss appeared on the remix ep the preceded lucys debut album.
the four tracks that form >endo< represent a new peak for the donor / truss sound with each individual section working as both a self-contained track and a quarter of the entire endo experience. together the 4 parts join together to make a complete piece of music, stretching across 23 minutes and 2 sides of vinyl.

tim kelly, new upcoming artist on the techno scene but with a 20 years experience in the music arena delivers here a really inspired ep, with a crazy deepness and outstanding synths and feelings.three original tracks, all with a specific groove and atmosphere are attracting your mind, and pushing your body to the dancefloor! this ep is supported by both remixes from the well known artist perc, and the owner of the silent steps label, octave.

double header from perc trax feat. sawf & perc himself !!

first on decks .de !!! sa007 sees perc and modern heads create the first collaborations between these two core stroboscopic artefacts artists. the result is a punishing hybrid of percs dubstep tendencies and modern heads cutting techno. a-side >mendax< is cavernous. built upon solid dub foundations, it spills over into grinding, metallic territory. if the titles to be believed it takes inspiration from the shady world of lies and deceit. the atmosphere seems to agree, theres certainly something mendacious at work here. b1 takes the eps atmosphere and adds abrasion. in >percdax< cold, hard percussion is layered over a bed of warm dub. closer >moddax< errs on the eerie. it skulks, is full of sticky bleeps and the result is unnervingly dubbed out. all three track titles share the same suffix and if this indicates that they also share one quality its that theyre best heard in the glinting shadows of a club just before day break. sa007 was craftily mastered by artefacts mastering, berlin.

raw dub techno killer tunes

perc opens up the vertigo releases with his most singleminded track in years. based around a looping, lo-fi groove bcg is both a perfect dj tool and an unforgettable lead track. occasional blasts of distortion break up the rhythmic flow but this is no clichéd white noise soaked epic, just pure heads-down basement techno. first up to remix bcg is scotlands forward strategy group, who thanks to their releases on fsg and retail & leisure have soon won the support of such techno lynchpins as marcel dettmann and surgeon.

their debut perc trax release opens up with noson, a track which perfectly demostrates their sound, with tough but clear 909 drums underpinning a dubbed-out industrial soundscape that continually evolves as the track runs its course. on the flipside comes the 2-part indifference. part 1 featuring intense echoing synth stabs over clipped drums whilst part 2 goes deeper, but still with enough muscle to work in the sets of most djs. watch out for donor / truss remix of forward strategy group, coming up on perc trax in early 2010.

ed rush & nicos >defect< was originally released in 1996 on the no u turn label as the flipside to >mothership< andfeatured on the classic >torque< compilation album. no u turn not only influenced a generation of drum & bassproducers but the labels sound also resonated with techno producers around the world and that influence can still be heard today. now defect returns on perc trax with 2 new mixes to form a truly unique release. this is the 1st time no u turn has granted a license for a remix and the respect that both remixers have the label is clear from the mixes they have produced.
