to celebrate kontra-musik records hitting the ten-year mark, founder and label owner ulf eriksson has put together a collection of some of our finest releases.

originally released via ascetic house in 2015, vereker’s grace tape owes much to the canon of vintage anti-music, exploring catharsis via a transgression of traditional compositional & technical values. working with the same thematic concerns of much of the more leftfield additions to the avian catalogue - in it’s more subdued moments, anxiety & dissafection, in it’s more high energy - pure hysteria - the recording pairs basic synthesis with warped vocals in the same manner as industrial progenitors throbbing gristle and steven stapleton (nurse with wound).
the reduced palette & crushed production aesthetic creates a powerful immediacy, with a twisted musicality being drawn - at times, kicking and screaming, out of the depths of the mix. like much of vereker’s best work on labels like lies & berceuse heroique, elements warp & twist uncomfortably within the tight confines of a reduced dynamic spectrum - creating a dark, heady energy. scetic house, the predominantly cassette only label, has seen appearances from la’s silent servant, northern electronics’ varg & avian’s own shifted - under his covered in sand alias.

technosoul .03 comes from blazej malinowski, who has previously released on swedish phorma and canadian silent season amongst others. “mika” and “open closed open” might serve as blazej s sound signature – deeply rooted, hypnotic techno with a trance edge, which works both on the dancefloor and in comfort of one s home. remix number one comes from the legendary british dj and producer steve bicknell, whose take on “mika” is raw and very dense at once – it serves as the most brutal piece of music on the release. remix number two comes from “the mad ukrainian” stanislav tolkachev, whose vision strikes as a real surprise. instead of his usual beats stampede, he has provided the record with a beautiful, ethereal offbeat techno: this won t probably work as a peak time monster, but with a proper audience, it will have a mesmerizing effect!

boys noize präsentiert zwei neue, analoge, industrial-inspirierte, massive club-tunes. die a-side “midnight” basiert auf dem dunklen, gesprochenen club-mantra “midnight, 1am, 2am, 3am, 4am... 9am, 10, let s do it again” über roughe breaks und verzerrtem höhlenbass. die flip ist eine makellose hommage an den ebm/new beat-klassiker “los ninos del parque” und klingt wie eine gemeinschaftsproduktion der kinder von liaisons dangereuses, frankie goes to hollywood und silent servant. massive energie! vinyl-only. limitiert auf 300 stück weltweit.

deconstructed ebm from the nous affiliate spoiled drama kicks off the new science fiction compilation - 10 tracks of crazed machine grooves further diversifying the science fiction’s exploration into synthetics. the opener driven simply by an obnoxiously saturated digital drum machine and a mechanical body music bass loop simultaneously hints to late 80s darkside chicago roots with hard flanged hi-hats and a detuned string machin

french composer and multi-instrumentalist pierre bastien delivers the latest entry into morphines increasingly diverse catalog. active for over four decades, bastien is best known for building automated orchestras, and his most recent lp, machinations, was released on aphex twin s rephlex label in 2012.
for this latest work, bastien recycled components of his silent motors live set and assembled new mechanical organisms—using amplified meccano parts, motors, fans, rattles, paper, and nails—to generate rhythmic scaffolding. live instrumentals, from prepared trumpets to the african kundi harp, javanese rabab, sanza, electric harpsichord, bass, drums, and gongs, were then superimposed on top.

ultra limited, one copy per customer! in an absurd world, full of unwanted auditory sensations, sometimes we have to escape back to the basement - back to the beats. that feeling, that need, paved the way for blint to release his very first solo ep – blint001. the record is a two-tracker: on side a you’ll find „silent movements“, a bassline-driven broken beat with a dark twist in the end. on the flipside there is „road to ioannina“ which is based on an 808 drum pattern, accompanied by a smooth synth-odyssee. the record comes along with a fine art print of the cover, drawn by graffitiartist rookie the weird, handsigned and numbred on 300gr. paper. a special gadget, that is connecting blint s musical output to his roots in graffiti and hip-hop culture. a true underground-package from germanys ruhr-area!

silent record rules the first side of this vinyl and its a monster. the rolling bassline and the powerful percussion are backed by tripping background noises. you cand also hear french experimentalist duo radiomentalle and david toops distorted voice. this one is definitely not silent and 100% destined for the dancefloor.

dark entries editions is venturing into new waters with a remix ep of psychic tvs classic acid house song *alien be-in* from 1989. remixes are made by fred gianelli, silent servant and john tejada.

the act of shimmering is the act of leaving conscious thought behind. it s accepting what lies beyond the corporeal, transcending the physical, the soul is aware and the body, eyes, skin are distant empty casings. a clamorous, chaotic cacophony surrounds a beatific center. an endless assault of guitar, of noise that glistens, a poignant rigor. jannick schou, proprietor of tape loop drone, places himself within the tunnel of din to produce this profound work: an ethereal dream using nightmarish parts and images. black and grays generate vibrant innards. brightness is unearthed within the fetid mass and these six tracks immerse the listener into a raging sea to find a gentle undertow. furious outbursts emerge from simple, slow shivers. tremors of noise gather, reaching an elongated crescendo, becoming transformative, and shattering what form or structure was designed to contain such an outpouring of sound.

limitierte 3lp vinylauflage zum neuen deadmau5 doppelalbum while (1<2) mit 25 tracks und über 140 minuten spielzeit.

trickreich und zartfühlend zugleich, klingt es wesentlich endorphin-geschwängerter als die bis jetzt veröffentlichten singles. das mag zunächst verwirrend sein, aber die Überraschung gelingt. die reise, die dark sky zurück gelegt haben, muss von extremem musikkonsum begleitet gewesen sein. das album evoziert bilder eines erwachsenwerdens durch sound. vor allem eine musikalische dekade hat dark sky beeinflusst, die 90er und all die vielen musikrichtungen, die damals wiederentdeckt worden sind finden sich auch auf imagin wieder. funk, bossa nova, eine ganze menge triphop, aber auch post-rock, ambient, balearic-house und 80ies pop alles geschüttelt und gerührt und in einem post-dubstep cocktailglas serviert. eiskalt selbstverständlich
