serotonin records is the original new york city electro-revival imprint still pumping out funk for you today. synapse is the project of serotonin records founders john selway and jason “bpmf” szostek. besides releases on their own label, their tracks and remixes have made their way to interdimensional transmissions, electrocord, i220, studio !k7 and instinct/radical ambient. dedicated to their unique future funk sound of electro, their tracks define what serotonin is all about. synapse “scientism ep” is an overview of the last 20 years of regress in modern culture. the erosion of democratic values, abuse of science, distortion and manipulation of facts and deliberate seeds of discord sown by the powerful to create schism in the fabric of society, enabling the few to exercise control over the many. all that and funk… good old american electronic new york city funk.

beatless in space, locus balances ambient techno and acid gurgle, cleansing your synapses like a sven vaeth warm down circa ‚94. this is music for the microdosers.

well, this is different… fourth kind the self titled mini album on omniverse records. it’s hard to pinpoint a genre with records like this, produced by marc mac of 4hero and similar to some of the 4hero output, it defies genre and fits somewhere in-between many. the production is heavily reliant on synthesisers and vintage drum machines in places but is full of real life and organic movements, this is partly down to the signature drums played by luke parkhouse. the only other guest spot is filled by nu jazz funker pascal strauss aka luman child who plays bass guitar on “take me to your sky” which along with “afterglows” are the closest we get to dance tracks, in most parts a 70s fusion feel is present. the short interlude type tracks are just as important and i would go as far as to say vital to telling the story. moogs, arps and solina strings weave patterns throughout, all in all, across the 10 tracks the album is a journey of mood and emotions. 180g pressing.

boris brenecki and darko kolar (aka katran) regroup as ontal for a horo ep that combines their instinctual brutality with a deeper probe into their penchant for experimentation. lead track ikari’s flickering storm unfurls a rhythmic rage that rolls over you like a turbo-charged synapse exciter. at its peak ikari feels as if it’s about to explode into shards of jagged, forged synthesis, but pulls itself back from the brink to reignite its hostile oscillation. r-amen bends the famous breakbeat over a concentrated twin-drop, peak-time 130bpm eruption, while vigilante is a punishing machine, built to instil palpable tension. in blinding form, headless horseman takes apart ikari and reconstructs it as a hyper half-step technoid stepper, complete with a guttural drop reminiscent of the more advanced strains of 170bpm music.

dead rail is a soundshaping railroad soaked in fog and cough. dead rail is the breath that transforms light into smoke. smoke into brain waves and brain waves into some anamorphic sound blend. dead rail is a walk through an eyeburning beat and runs on mandibular tracks. dead rail is the dark corner of a party where the tones are stagnant in a motionless dynamic. dead rail is the suspended activity of synapses while earing is driving the other senses. dead rail is the dying frequency in your ear. dead rail is noise from within.

serotonin records returns with a compilation of futuristic electronic funk. its what we live for: volume 2 is the second in a series of compilations sharing our vision of sounds of tomorrow. bpmf has been making electronic music since 84.

coming out in late july from the man who brought you e ruscha v s -who are you- to great acclaim earlier this year is secret circuit s 2nd ep for invisible inc, the cryptically titled -out of body interiors-. featuring four exclusive new tracks of the acid drenched, dubbed out, tropical disco variety mr ruscha, as always, delivers a sonic palette you won t find on many other imprints: from the turbo-charged homage to early 90s bleep meets indie rave euphoria of stomping ground, through the chugging, motorik groove of crazy ways which sounds like it s blasting out full volume from a smoke-filled space patrol hovercar gone rogue then flipping over to side b and waking up in mali, andromeda in a haze of syncopated percussion, other-worldly guitar licks and a billion new synthetically generated sounds that you may strongly suspect you just imagined.....to finally the feather drop which brings entirely new meaning to the word deep and which fires technicolour sounds of profoundly immense variety at the synapses at a rate of knots not many other producers can keep up with as all the while the bass holds court and keeps things deep rooted and dub heavy. secret circuit (aka eddie ruscha v) has had a plethora of releases on an equally expansive plethora of labels under such names as the parels (lal lal lal), blasé (esp institute), food of the gods/laughing light of plenty (whatever we want), odd numbers ( no label), shadow kids (el diablo s social club) and of course as secret circuit (beats in space, emotional response and invisible, inc.)

with its seventh release, new york trax welcomes the revival of john selway’s semblance factor alias. selway became an indispensable element of the history of the new york sound by virtue of building an extensive catalog of high quality releases spanning almost three decades and multiple genres of electronic music. from his first electronic band chaotic sound matrix, to his major contributions to the early productions of deep dish from his first success in the techno world as part of the seminal new york duo disintegrator to the most successful of his collaborations, smith & selway, and his deep and minimal techno label csm, from the intelligent electro-funk of synapse and serotonin records, the electro and synth-pop of memory boy to the wild improvisational eclecticism of the rancho relaxo allstars, selway has created one of the richest bodies of work in the world of electronic music. defiance ep is a venture into hard-hitting electro, acid, and raw industrial-leaning and experimental sound. below the intense threshold of sound, there is a message for todays complacent society

nach seinem beitrag für die cargaa-12--serie erscheint nun die erste warp-ep des angolaners dj nigga fox, der gekonnt die brücke zwischen der bass- und bleep-alchemie früher warp-clubklassiker und dem post-genre-künstlerstamm von heute schlägt. das ergebnis ist eine sich stetig wandelnde form von dancefloor-psychedelia, die dennoch die synapsen zum funkeln bringt. ein absolutes hörerlebnis und weiterer meilenstein des modernen sounds der brodelnden lissaboner musikzene. die vinyl-ep erscheint inklusive downloadcode.

as weekend circuit approach their 20th release, argentinian duo yyyy return for their second full length ep on the label to celebrate this benchmark. the yyyy modus operandi is already familiar to the initiated - expressive, raw techno experimentalism from the outer reaches. carry this blood is a collection of 4 moods and sounds, carved out with emotion soaked ambience, synapse flaring distortion and machine fracturing rhythms. repent , as the title suggests, takes no prisoners, leaving no survivors in it s wake, it is a glimpse into a tear in the time-space continuum where chaos rules. hands towards the giver is epic, glacial, spacial widescreen techno. dramatic and urgent, the soundtrack to a doomed planet collapsing from within. carry this blood bestows an eerie, cold feeling. an atmosphere of regret and loss hangs over it like a thick fog on a hillside, punctuated only by a heartbeat mimicking kick drum offering a human touch. of thrones and comfort snaps us out of the haze, the fog clears and we are faced with the frenzied electronics and thundering kick drum of this most sinister of tracks.

desolat label boss loco dice kicks off 2018 in fine style with a huge new single which sees the him reflecting on his musical roots and his connection to dusseldorf, detroit and beyond, whilst giving a taster for a brand new long player to come later in the year. dices recent past has seen the master of robust house and techno funk serve up killer remixes of mobys classic ‘go and release his underground sound suicide album, whilst continuing to headline the biggest clubs and festivals around the world. at the same time, he has directed his endless passion and musical sensibilities to bare upon his desolat label, with a stream of records released from some of the most exciting artists around and supported by djs across the globe. now though the stage is set for the first new loco dice original recording in some time and it is sure to see him once more at heart of the global scene. the bristling ‘roots is a typically forceful track that blurs the lines between house end techno. it has twitchy synths bringing the energy to hurried drums as smooth chords add real soul. the claps are coarse & edgy, whilst dices own dark vocals bring a brooding atmosphere and the whole thing is a synapse firing rave-up that cannot fail to detonate any dance floor. an instrumental is also included for even more visceral thrills. this timely new single is the lead track from dices latest album project, entitled love letters and to be released later in 2018.

the remixs: pointsman – we dont know who he is but he provide a deep big room monster.
tripmastaz - probably the only funky russian you will ever meet. the only russian artist with releases on cocoon, minus, desolat, cadenza. the only russian artist with 4 vinyl labels. hes funky housey remix is the most faithful of the four.
bpmf – schmer label head provides a grimey and noisey big bottom soviet style jam.
steve stoll - nyc acid legend made a hard banging acid tracer.
in 1996 serotonin label heads selway and szostek went to moscow to perform at the invitation of &#1055,&#1058,&#1070,&#1063, magazine. synapse performed at the -waterclub- and met the legendary dj compass vrubell. they went to his -studio- where he had perfected the art of making entire tracks out patterns on the yamaha dx-5. szostek brought a dat of these jams back to nyc and schmer-003 dj rx-5 -a taste for crap- was released as a small run white label in 97. the run sold out and disappeared to be forgotten forever... until 2016 szostek casually mentions its existence to techno uber-nerd nina kraviz who just had to have it for her -fabric 91- cd. so dj rx-5 was back from the ash heap of history and schmer got a new release from him on schmer07. then schmer got the word out far and wide that they d like a remix ep for two of the originals: compass provided stems because like a miracle he still had the patterns after 20 years. heeding the call were pointsman, tripmastaz, steve stoll and schmer s own bpmf. so this is what you get: -a taste for remix-. it will leave your lips wanting more, for sure!

serotonin records, the little neuron that could, returns with a compilation of futuristic electronic funk. its what we live for: volume 1 is the first in a series of compilations sharing our vision of tomorrow and/or the sound of the day after yesterday serotonin has always been what weve lived for, now well try and make sure it’s what you live for too.

does the world need more acid? yes it does! the r-a-g trio aka dutch producers ma spaventi, g-string & aroy dee deliver three raw acid-jams with aroy on the couch working the mic. the lyrics of dreadfully nervous are based on a edgar allan poe story. . dreadfully nervous (aryd s acid mix) is a gurgling brew of squelchy acid with dark vocals and pinging cowbells pulling you in all directions. coarse claps and ever more wild synths encourage you to cut loose and make for another timeless cut. dreadfully stoned is more stripped back, with a rubbery arpeggiated synth the main hook over subtle, supple drums. those dark spoken word vocals are back again and the whole thing is freaky and unsettling as a result. last of all is the bright and glistening no soul with metal hits and claps and prickly acid all bursting out of dusty chicago drums. it s raw and sure to fire the synapses just like r-a-g productions always do.

null+void finally step up with their second release after impressing with the opening salvo from shinra, and this time electro fans will be in a tizz to discover that radioactive man, monoak and london modular s simon lynch have teamed up for four utterly essential workouts that tickle the synapses just as much as wiggling your booty. -tiger stripes- is a tightly wound snake charmer with intricate rhythmic patterns offset by chilling pad sweeps, while -fruitcake- gets even more frantic with its growling distortion and unrelenting tempo. -land- cools things down to a minimalist techno mindstate on the b-side, and then -aesop- teases out a more melodic kind of electro for the braindance crew.

fideles found the way to exit strategy thru some italian-german connection.

deluxe-reissue des electronica-klassikers -neo ouija- (1998) des britischen produzenten lee anthony jude norris aka metamatics (norken, nacht plank) auf klarem vinyl mit aktualisiertem artwork des original-grafikers chris thompson. norris -stimulierte lieber synapsen als dancefloors zu zerstören- (o-ton), stand bereits vor 20 jahren brian eno, gary numan und depeche mode näher als seinen zeitgenössischen kollegen und hatte einen massgeblichen einfluss auf andere künstler wie radiohead und laurent garnier.

baby ford s minimal minded label is back in action with some psyched-out goodness from alex celler. the long-serving greek producer has many strings to his bow, but this release finds him tapping into his foundational sound as a steady ticking groove carries a richly produced bed of chimes and tones for the deepest moments in the dance. where -feudade- is a lilting, soothing trip, -vis a vis- heads into a more mysterious headspace peppered with nagging rhythmic trysts, crafty licks and fulsome bass to get the synapses popping. it s exactly how stripped down house music should be done, inventive to the last and yet utterly danceable.
