second entry in jinn’s nascent catalogue after an arresting debut from japanese producer yoshinori hayashi, also featuring sex tags and wania mastering sotofett on remix duty, feilim’s ‘always evolving in the sun’ projects you into a boiling retro-futuristic blender where joey beltram and model 500 rub shoulders with unit moebius and leo anibaldi.
the next-level opener ‘pota (restricted intelligence)’ breaks the ep in with pace and vigour, rushing head log into a world of a mind-altering alien technology and hyper connected dance platforms. delving further into the weirder facet of broken electronics and off-axis acid digressions, ‘always evolving in the sun’ seals the deal on a much experimental and hallucinogenic tip. mind-trip mode is on.

increasing access to new studio technology resulted in this splicing of dub reggae dna with cut-and-paste sampledelia. anticipating the later work of labels such as def jux, wordsound and anticon, this 1985 album paired crack jamaican session musicians such as the roots radics’ drummer style scott (by this point the instrumental leader of dub syndicate) and the congos’ ashanti roy with public image limited’s jah wobble and keith levene, not to mention the restless mixing desk boundary-pushing of producer and de facto member adrian sherwood. a more reggaefied take on the industrial funk sherwood was making with tackhead during the same period, lovers of digidub, outernational sounds and even the wilder reaches of 80s hip-hop will find much to get lost in here

delivery is the work of greg shin, who has previously appeared on la club resource and smashing tape records. now he appears on torn hawk s valcron video with a wonderfully diverse set of leftfield machine workouts, kicking off with the tempestuous drum twitches of brain drained. technology transplant is a polar opposite, focusing on calm drifts of ambient synth with a mournful tinge. the b2 is worth digging for, as four two nine seems to balance the two other tracks and make for the most club-ready piece on the 12inch.

nice price deal !!! pop influenced old school electro

all of the tracks were created using a limited amount instruments, with a deliberate crossover of old synthesizers like a farsa organ or sequential circuits s pro-one and 90s technology like the roland jd-800. it is curious that lawrence says all his synths are half-broken, since the sounds he extracts from them are absolutely healing.

lost soul enterprises presents technology = garbage, an album by jl. recorded to tascam in 2015 on a variety of cheap and obsolete machines. for fans of swamp acid, cavernous drums, grainy synth washes, and reverb.

acid is the name of the game on magic waves s twelfth release, an undercover excursion from one of the uks most eminent masters of the genre.

‘fear eats the soul’ is the third release from sordid sound system on invisible inc. his previous two records ‘in a year of 13 moons’ and ‘lux exterior’ have been getting plays from the likes of andrew weatherall, manfredas, john talabot, idjut boys and thomas von party. describing ‘fear eats the soul’ as a concept ep made by four imaginary bands from detroit, new york, paris and munich, sordid sound system says: “i’m pissed off with passive aggressive shabby chic artisan boutiques besieging my studio and complaining about the noise, i’m pissed off with coked up yuppy hipsters in land rovers taking over my neighbourhood with fancy restaurants with names that sound like fucking law firms, i’m pissed off at the resurgence of the far right and creeping fascism, i’m pissed off with self sabotaging english and american voters and the neo liberal corporate elites that have pissed away opportunities and alienated them, i’m pissed off with modern recording technology creating a sea of homogenous unimaginative beige bullshit, and i’m really pissed off that my favourite drummer jaki leibezeit is dead, but apart from that it’s all good, enjoy the new record.”

taking charge of the first release is lucy, who has evolved his distinct sound signature by reconciling the deeply personal with the esoteric, and by harmonizing the spheres of technology and biology. whether he is acting in the role of producer, dj, performer, or stroboscopic artefacts curator, lucys clear passion for creative evolution and mutation is something that continues to attract new listeners, and keeps giving his current supporters new reasons to continue tuning in. ep opener the hermit is eight minutes of spacious and cerebral techno. rolling drums are buried deep as little flecks of sound design peel off the groove. occasional bell hits bring a sombre and languid feel despite the drive of the drums, and it is the sort of perfectly absorbing track that will suck you down a 5am rabbit hole. on the flip, ‘the high priestess’ is a similarly mental work out that is empty and eerie, with distant drones and yawning pads outlining a vast underground space. the drums here are again rubbery and rolling, but a little more prominent, and the whole thing manages to be both soothing and unsettling. after this fine ep starts the label in style, a remix ep from blawan will follow.

after an italian-artists-only policy in 2016, un.t.o. goes international with its 6th release presenting the amsterdam-based producer jack roland. this one cuts a line between rough and ready electro and cutting edge techno.

in the cold darkness of corporate-run space, technology permeates every aspect of war,but the science of war cannot account for the dynamic interaction of the physical and moral elements that come in to play,by design or by chance, in combat. a virtuous warrior was born in a savage world the exterminador.

after a fabulous summer and a mind-blasting krake festival, killekill takes its next step and kicks off another new label called vanta series, which is destined for small series of 12-es with out-standing dancefloor tracks. the name derives from vantablack, a colour from nano technology, which is the blackest black and actually invisible. vanta therewith stands for the total emptiness and is the perfect name for a label which does not have a defined identity itself but is a platform for different series, which will all have a concept and aesthetic in itself. the first series is called -the end is near-. it consists of 4 releases and comes with an artwork by french artist elzo durt. every release will contain a small poster, all four posters put together become elzo durt s piece -les anges de l apocalypse-. first record is by dez williams, who also released on shipwrec and bass agenda recently. a-side acidbanger is a serious banger and has future acid classic written all over it. the b-side comes with two acid variations - one more stingy, one emotional and psychedelic - which show the potential of this outstanding producer. open your ears and put the needle on - here is some acid!

in 1987, series-a recorded the single evolution5 technology at spectrum sounds studio in st. clair shores, michigan. their set up was a vocoder, e-mu emulator iii, roland 909 drum machine, and an otari 24-track recorder.

nice price deal !!! this ep is the culmination of over a decade of research into the hidden mysteries that dictate the workings of the power structure of the world we live in. the vocals reference situations and phenomenon hiding in plain sight. the matrix is real, and for those wishing to know more this ep is n essential guide. a1- is future modern aaacid house in ¾ time. the odd time signature works in unison with the phrenetic pastor manning telling it like it is with regards to the corrupt us president. the worst in the history of the entire nation. a2 - references jose’s delgato’s mind control experiments and the fact that this technology exists and is in use today. the track was made using the advanced mathematical scheme known as the golden ratio to achieve maximum “pleasure response” from those listening and dancing to it. b1 - emotive chord work along with a huge rolling bass line set the stage for redsilverj’s vocals about the 2 types of people with regards to the new world order. those who will sell out, and those who will wake up. period! lots of changes, melodies, and counter melodies work to make this the most beautiful sounding cut on the record. lush deep house. b2 - the deepest darkest house. ominous almost foreboding chords lay a murky foundation that quickly unfolds like a ghostly mist. the vocals are about the artificial womb phenomenon and the fact that humans will react and be treated like cattle by the elites. late late night deep banging higher consciousness house.

legowelt returns to unknown to the unknown for another bunch of wonderful excursions through obsolete musical technology under the banner sampling winter. leading with the title track, this finds danny wolfers on a soulful and deep house vibe with a wandering and mesmerising melody, warm pads and super shuffling garage style rhythm. on the flip is “beach oceano” which is equally rich in soulfulness but more on the deeper techno vibe, with its sharp and hypnotising arpeggio backed by galactic melodies and glistening pads. all accentuated by analogue tape hiss in the background. this is raw!

steven tang returns on dolly for his second release under his obsolete music technology moniker with 3 solid melodic, driving chicago stompers!!!

the anticipated second release from los angeles/seattle imprint slumdiscs comes in the form of a 12 inch from two artists who have each had a prolific year, refining their respective takes on dark electronics. side a features three tracks from italian producer morkebla (where to now?/reckno). he utilizes ethereal synths to create vast, mind expanding soundscapes just as suited for club use as they are for deep meditation. side b is provided by portland artist best available technology (astro:dynamics/working nights). contained within is an experiment in variations and reductions that rewards close listeners with a glimpse into the slow decay of self-contained sonic ecosystems. *go slumming* marks the first full length collaboration between the two artists and showcases the best of their respective styles.

back at it again, taking the true essence of the “jacking” sound of chicago house and putting it’s own stamp on it is what obsolete music technology has done with their new 12&#8243,, entitled, “volatile.” warbling, wobbling, distorting, sinisterly acidic basslines abound is the best way to describe this release! for dance floors only! you have been warned! “volatile” starts off with some 707 drums intro and then fading in, is this tripped out, bubbling bass sound that sends you off a cliff! just when you think that’s all to the track, dark, melancholic pads comes in for added atmos-fear! rounding out the a-side is “killin,” with it’s 2 acid style basslines, one sounding at a high octave and the other at a lower octave. riffs playing separately sounding great, but when played together, there is something slightly, mentally off. on the b-side, “broken siren” is high energy! 808 tom drums bringing the funky low end while a short, electronic piano lick drenched in warm, fuzzy, flange effect. setting it off is a decayed sine wave, mimicking an actual alarm sound. lastly, “electric current” best describe this distorted acid bassline and its tweaking filter and resonance controls over jacking 808 drums

dd kick off 2015 with a fresh 12- and this time its all about the drums! these three tracks span odd s signature minimal style whilst adding a hefty amount of bass weight. percussive nuances pop and creek whilst marble carved kick drums and slicing hats cut through the extensive textures. these are primed and ready club tools with added personality, an essential record!
