your face in the twilight
unveils my primitive instinct
by then we knew
we’re each alone inside

truly yours

for this inaugural release the french label bfdm introduces two young promising producers aka the pilotwings. agorespace is an excursion, a trip where dark and killer drums meet with some soft melodies and primitive percussion. trance beats is a wonky house track made up of hip-hop/jungle breaks and synthetic animal sounds, a powerful combination of tribal rhythm and creepy synths. on the same side comes cavernes magiques, a modern electronic tune where raw 707 jams gives way to trippy dance pads, 90s influences. on the other side a strong techno track contrasted with bright synths called cours-la-ville, a dark and long exploration.

nice price deal !!! all out war is a new label from richard hardcastle aka solid state, based in sheffield, uk. richard is known for his product of society edits on society recs, and work on toko, guidance, primitive and cookhouse recs in the late 90s/early 00s. the first all out war release is prisoners of wax vol 1, new edits by solid state, mastered for vinyl by warp legend rob gordon here in sheffield. the disco elements that marked their first 3 society releases are back in full effect... a: america - a radical extension of a french track from 1978, complete with fierce bass and guitar riffs, scything strings and urgent vocals plus police sirens for added drama... all out disco war! aa1: shortwave radiation - tames a once sprawling, 9 minute plus synth strumental behemoth. this 6 1/2 minute version lowers the tempo and cuts the flabbier excesses of the original to produce a far leaner, fitter space monster. aa2: if u love me started life as a quaint little spanish number in 1977. this version ditches the verses, allowing the intro and chorus to take centre stage. the resulting track has a hypnotic, spacey atmosphere... a quiet storm!

andrzej nowak is a polish early computer music composer who never found proper place in official contemporary music world. tracks produced between 1987 and 1994 as a score for never screened animation movies (the producer didn’t like them). lines of simple sounds, interrupted by primitive electronic trumpet and other fake instruments. are you sure it’s a film score? what was the thing that producer didn’t like? weird harmonies or too much rhythm?

alex suarez is part of a new breed of producers based out of brooklyn carving out their own unique sound experimenting in the world of raw primordial electronics. under the name cienfuegos, he has prior releases on brooklyn s primitive languages imprint as well as the france s unknown precept label-with his new -lost in god s country- ep we see him debut on the new york centered bank records. through the four tracks cienfuegos harkens back to the time of early industrial music, not far off from the early transmissions of spk or even hinting at sounds akin to e.g. oblique graph. suarez has a knack for developing textures and tension in his music sewing it all together with plodding rhythms and the occasional creeper vocal. heavyweight stuff coming most highly recommended.

4th release by 1977. real perspectives tracks with primitive hypnotic masterpiece.

antonio debuts on ns with an ep of muscular dungeon boogie straight from italy s golden coast via the dank basements of frankfurt. drawing on the metallic throbs of his adopted german hometown, antonio pushes the machines to breaking point, allowing primitive techno flourishes, crushing breakdowns and dopamine-draining house excursions to be fed straight into the back of a tape deck

supernovas originally formed the basic chemical elements which subsequently merged in a myriad of variations, creating life as well. all the components of our world descend from that single original replicating molecule.

deep88 presents his new lp ‘the black album’. this double-vinyl houses his personal style that is reminiscent of the sounds of a bygone era whether the depth and warmth of new jersey and italian house, a dose of sun-soaked balearic or primitive raw jams synonymous with chicago.

*when we all were one... when we were able to build something that could still stand forever, contemplating the passing of time with dignity*
leiras returns to his mother platform, ownlife, on his favorite format. four tracks that play with sharpness: influenced by cyclical ebm techno to the darkest and primitive acid. *ruins of dignity* is a look into the psyche of men, a tribute to our ancestors capacity of symbolism and abstraction.

produced somewhere between a basement in brussels and an attic in the outskirts of paris, back when tape reel to reels, primitive rhythm boxes and analogue synths still carried a vague promise of the future, this music translated a certain atomic paranoia fuelled by the cold war industry. lo-fi music, abrasive, high pressure, dense, clipped to the max, like it was intended to punish any woofer that gets between it and the air.

reissue

fit sound welcomes a long time friend of the family, dj sotofett! * percussion mixes vol. 1*
is a psychedelic odyssey that plunges into the depths of the mind, awakening our so called * primitive* sense of rhythmic communication. lush and exotic sounds from the * boss from moss*. essential!

duo from somewhere just outside of los angeles, little is known about them, but what you need is this: a prolific non-stop stream of countless releases for labels like opal tapes, handmade birds, beläten and chondritic sound. a truly weird approach that mixes up early industrial and exotic infatuations, cheap gear electronics and world music, obnoxious drones and beach-like radiance. again, primitive drumming and eastern traditions heritage, twanging guitars and dub reverbs. adhoc just premiered *dreary commonplace*.

west side chicago hardware anthems. nick reads windbreaker project has been his refuge since the days of lazer crystal (thrill jockey). a chicago diy scene staple for over ten years, this is the first windbreaker full length. imagine kraftwerk being trapped in berghain and living off of floor scraps or christian hosoi pulling a christ air over the pyramids and you are somewhere close.

hulks of heavy industry lay strewn around, primitive yet shot through with a cracked futurist vision. red rusting mother loads could have lain there for years, a henge to post industrialism. time to open the sluice gate and slide the fetid bulk into the bloated brine of the next high tide. surfing out across the broth its bow breaks the water, sending a long lazy wave like treacle slapping the side of the wharf. slaughter-phonic noises pulsate from within the lead encased carburettor. on the blistered deck great knotted balls of chain lie rusting for ever, atrophied by age and despair

collection of hits and remixes from 80s italo-disco project scotch.

land of confusion is one of the most seminal chicago acid house records. originally released in 1987 on bam bam s westbrook imprint and produced by the legendary armando gallop it marked the start of a recording career that would make him a household name among house and techno aficionados. to say land of confusion is raw is an understatement, it consists of a handful of elements but its impact when played is incendiary. armandos tb-303 acid lines sound possessed and unruly while the primitive drum machine patterns stagger around the track giving it a feeling of out of control urgency, a truly lo-fi piece of crazy chicago acid that was popular with many djs in chicago(including ron hardy at the muzic box) and around the world and continues to be influential today. an essential record for any discerning house or techno fan.

turbo explores the future primitive with new jack tribal. first instalment in this new series comes courtesy of emerging canadian talent: clarian, hreno, mike mind and label a&r thomas von party.

*the island of dr electrico* is a varied musical landscape, at times lush and tropical, at other times an impenetrable swamp teeming with all manner of surprises. migrating seabirds have long flown thousands of extra miles avoid dr electricos blighted isle, leaving him alone to experiment with dark beats, primitive synthesizers and the raw emotion of kidnapped souls. the resulting sounds are a rich palette of classic cinema, from lonesome spaghetti to surf-rock, from psychedelia to spine-bending space disco, overlaid with the voices of our protagonists the tiger and the mysterious lady. from their unlikely beginnings in the suburban wilds of melbourne australia, the bombay royale have taken their unique sound to audiences throughout europe, uk and the usa, where their performances have been met with astonishment and critical acclaim.
the vinyl lp comes in gatefold sleeve, mp3 download code included.

dmom welcomes french talent flex for his debut with a massive big-room-track. the knocking kick introduces some fine tuned and arranged techno in a really classic sense and has the ability to become one of those secret weapons everybodys talking about when hearing it on some set. on top of this kyle geiger delivered a remix showing the technotic side of his soul after his recent more melodic appearance on cocoon s recent compialtion, as used to from him with a superb sounddesign and kind of remdinding on his previous works some time ago on drumcode. finally southeast-european techno-ambassador vegim appears to slow it down a bit, taking it to the groovy edge.

obsession recordings is the new label from diva/matt didemus, this limited vinyl only four track label sampler features tracks from diva, primitive world (black acre), iron galaxy & sexlife (audio culture) and yor (purple maze).

basement floor return with a deadly strike from the house/techno underground. kicking things off is tim schumachers soul phrase (echo mix) a jacking, raw dancefloor destroyer that knows no quarter. son of sound steps up to the plate to deliver a cosmic workout driven by a thunderous disco beat (check for his forthcoming 12inch on district 13!!).

the latest incarnation for bliq comes in the form of brazilian future primitive thingamajicks and his lysergic quest through sound on >patricks last trip<, with vernon felicity channeling a different kind of synesthesia. drop out – turn on – tune in.

deep shit is best known as a club night curated by jack savidge of friendly fires and edwin congreave of foals. originally started as a place for deep, intense, party music, the last 18 months have seen the two resident djs host the likes of teed, andy blake, leon vynehall and luke solomon at various london institutions including plastic people, ministry of sound, bussey building, and corsica studios, finding their parties championed by guardian guide and time out along the way.

a collaborative effort between marquis cooper (svengalisghost) and lili schulder (51717), this project was born in the winter of 2013. what can best be described as non-stop electronic erotic cabaret, the duo played a series of improvised performances which served as a structural backbone prior to the recording of this album. finished in merely two weeks, this 8 song double lp acts as a complete listening experience, engrossed in the down beat primitive electronics of the past whilst pushing further into the self-created anti-beat world of today. pulsing tones, off beat drums, melancholic vocals, and overall dark vibes characterize, but do not solely define what it is to truly trust in pain. mastered and cut by matt colton for maximum impact.

najem sworb makes his debut on the clone basement series! known by some for his fantastic release on the now defunct ai records, unknown for most. a release that shows the core of the clone basement series, nothing fancy, trendy or hype. just the sincere basics of techno that make people gather in dark basements for over 2 decades now. an almost ritual tradition of techno music. primitive and refined at the same time!
includes free digital download.

shades rises from the minds of korova. the aim is at drawing new nuances in the immaginary spectrum of techno, to get the hearing closer to the sound of those hidden mechanical shadows. shades lives on dark visions and primitive rhythms, but nevertheless trusts in a future controlled by a lightning plot between humans and technologies.

emotional rescue certainly laid a claim for the most esoteric of reissue endeavours last year, and they are looking to maintain this approach in 2013. their first release sees the label dig further into the cassette archives of kevin harrison, focusing specifically on the neo project the coventry musician did in cahoots with fellow electronic explorer, peter every from neophyte records. as you can tell from the primitive drum heavy tone of the music, neo surfaced in 1985 with the 8 track cassette release global network. this twelve presents five of those tracks, all of which echo the pulsing electronic rhythms of the fly ep, emotional rescues previous harrison reissue, and will find as much favour with those who sleep on the left side of disco as fans of cold wave.

second 12 inch in the testpressing series, hand-stamped sleeve including insert with artwork by alex solman. mastered and cut by matt colton at alchemy, pressed at pallas so here we are at part two in the series: grows without bound on the a-side is a monster, a noisy analogue session resurrected from the burning embers of industrial and noise, harnessed into an unstable growl that slowly makes room for a barely-there percussive stumble - think somewhere between vainio and nate young. over on the flipside primitive equations takes for inspiration the bare-boned, hyper-tense production of photeks still devastating ni-ten-ichi-ryu, slugging out feral, steely noise and ardcore torque forged by calloused hands and burning minds to cruel, propulsive effect.

distorting former interpretations from the late unchained rhythms series propelling the primitive released >eno< into an entirely new dimension, resulting in what joaquin describes as a mind-fuck battle between himself and himself.

slam make a welcome return with 2 monster tracks bringing us old school jams for the new republic

throughout this release, hodge crafts a unique sound that resonates somewhere between the sparse, delay soaked realms of primitive dubstep, and the driving vigour of modern techno. inspired by the use of field recordings and vintage analogue gear, the dusted ep has a raw and insightful charm that will lure a wide scope of electronica enthusiasts. sealed with a characteristically hypnotic remix of turmoil by close friend kowton, the dusted ep marks the full arrival of one of the most forward-thinking young producers, harvesting the rich breeding ground and heritage of bristol

after the first release on vinyl, resiliens recordings presents an ep that makes us want to know exactly what the label is aiming for and where it is coming from. ken karter (kript records) shows three masterpieces of electronic music combined with the more primitive techno. we are talking about the future!

second release on his diagonal label has powell ploughing a deeper furrow into his modern take on the sound of no-wave, ebm / metal-dance and other ancestral, primitive machine music forms, maintaining an icy cool aesthetic akin to that of his his debut release. loosely-arranged , these five tracks hold an off-kilter charm that evokes the rugged intensity of pre-sequencing era post-punk. calling all fans of 23 skidoo, mark stewart and the mafia or new-beat / ebm pioneers, liasons dangereuses, we suggest that you get on this one immediately.

stefan goldmanns adem finally brings a new concept of handling melodies to the world of house and techno. pushy synths tuned to arabian intervals, playfully pitch bent around one repeated note that sticks to the kick as if its life depends on it. its as if a parallel universes acid has been invented in some lunatic asylum in tirana. this primitive melody is as alienatingly synthetic as it is offensively brain-dissolving. in the hands of a dj, adem” is like the captagon formula in the hands of the bulgarian secret service: many deaths, big bucks. chalga, tallava, manele - call it anything. the b-side’s rigid chain is as detuned, yet strictly limited to a rogue off-beat bassline pumping in between metallic house drums. thats it.

nice price deal !!! scott goodwin (bonus, operative) & avalon kalin (finesse, glass candy) remind that romance is alive & lively with a vibrant valentine to primitive piano-plush early house.

next detroit - chicago bomb by echonomist. incl huge john dimas remix. like an aficionado of acid house echonomist returns with a stormer on third wave. this time his hyped chord progressions resolve into a groove that is more or less a reminiscence of the hacienda days. dans mon salon sings in black shades >i feel for you<, >to lock with a groove that i crave for<. a praise to jack, a praise to the way of jack. ultimately, >jack had a groove. and from this groove came the grooves of all grooves<… john dimas goes deeper underground with a simple primitive like pulsating groove. the insistent bass line tone (that slowly unravels an opening filter) clearly connects to old skool techniques of acid house masters.

hot off the presses. we just got these in last nite from portland. this is our first real peak at body work, glass candys much anticipated third album. johnny & ida have been destroying clubs with both of these tracks for almost two years now. forever pushing forward into new ground from where b/e/a/t/b/o/x & 2010s feeling without touching left off, they candy coated this slice of analog glamour & sprinkled it with some stardust on top. lazer driven melodies bounce off electro primitive drums that would make moe tucker proud. idas crazy like a monkey & happy like a new year as she sings a call & response to the crowd. >warm in the winter< continues to unfold for seven plus minutes of shimmering percussive synth. the proto boogie b side >beautiful object< is so grimey it makes us think of bbbb s production on the first madonna album. the rhythms keep turning while future & past collide. johnny gives us the usual dosage of heavy bass & crisp handclaps. written & recorded in the icey montreal winter. mixed for all seasons.
entire first pressing on delicious rasperry colored vinyl !

following the 7 inch release of panda bears final single in the series that lead up to the release of his new album tomboy, we present the actress remix the way it was intended – a 12 minute epic remix straight for the summer masses. b-side marked only with a unique etching of the original 7 inch artwork.

shocks is a project by northern italian dj/producer wanmhope with his occasional partner-in-crime max dolphy. while fundamentally simple in approach, the dynamic maintains a deceivingly complex harmony and disharmony rendering a visceral, sometimes violent listening experience. waves of feedback, distortion, frantic guitar noodling, vocal collage and field recordings soar like an ominous cloud over primitive, hedonistic rhythms. this, the first of two shocks vinlys preceding the full-length, sets the tone, serving as your marinade before youre thrown to the lions

forma (mark dwinell, sophie lam, & george bennett) emerged on the nyc minimal synth scene in 2010 with a singular vision of cosmic krautrock for a new age. on their eponymous debut lp, the brooklyn-based electronics trio merges the melodic flow and primitive rhythms of their motorik predecessors with the hypnotic drones of minimalism, creating an intricate work both addicting and rewarding with repeat listens. like many of the lp s eleven tracks, the churning and relentless forma237b draws its energy from a precarious equilibrium between structural rigidity and free improvisation, a dynamic at the heart of forma’s universe. with lush, distant soundscapes as interludes between these peaks, forma’s inaugural full-length is a harmonious and expansive expression of the enduring power of kosmische musik.

primitive rockabilly in its purest from from jimmy sysum and the rockin three from california. discovered in the blue moon label vaults in santa clara, this unreleased demo is his only ever recording. only a handful of acetates have ever surfaced from these 1950s sessions, exchanging hands for vast sums with collectors. dj support from keb darge, andrew weatherall & mark lamarr.

comprising three state-of-the-art expeditions into deep space techno, deep heet vol. 2 takes techno back to its primitive roots, adding details inspired by yet-tobe-explored points in the galaxy, only visible from slaters spacestation Ø uk studio.
supported by adam beye, slam, heiko laux, luciano, damon wild and many more!
