2023 reissue / remastered

reissue , fantastisc split ep with esp (aka woody mcbride) and hoschi (from mainz , germany)

five cuts inspired by research & destroy s text of the same name, which circulated in the midst of a walk-out at the university of california in 2009, and underlined a crisis of autonomy in higher education. the label founder s second solo release on brenda attempts to depict this anxiety, waste and make-believe.

mit >ask the dust< ist den briten ein ganz grosser wurf gelungen. housiger detroit techno im individuellen soundgewand und mit einem guten gespür für dramaturgie. >talking to yo< kommt vordergründig deep daher geht aber auf halber strecke in die vollen...

this tracks are reinterpretations or rather re-inspirations of music that he has produced for richie hawtins plus 8 label last year..

third entry in shall not fade’s season series comes from london based producer 9th house.

we started ‘the classic series’ featuring tracks that we love, bought, played out and which we have the feeling more people should know about them. for this fourth release, it is a great honor for us to welcome such a living legend, a pioneer from the chicago house & techno scene: roy davis jr. this project includes three very rare cuts and timeless moments of deep chicago house.
on a side: ‘i’m tha d.j.’, released in 1995 on kumba records + ‘under tha sun’, released in 1995 on downtown 161.
on b side : modal (woody mcbride & david stevens) ‘lovers’ remixed by roy davis jr. & dj skull. a massive, rare, and very demand track, previously released in 1996 on sounds (subdivision of communiqué). our favorite secret weapons, a real masterpiece of deep tech chicago sounds. enjoy !

bordello a parigi is returning to where it all began. four years ago dj overdose inaugurated the label under his masked model man moniker. now he s back. missile crisis and intercepted communique, hidden waves collects six underhanded secret music documents of cold war espionage.

in 1996 paul birken released the classic and now rare as hens teeth surfin superior double 12inch on woody mcbrides communique label. this was to be a revered and respected record that influenced many and is still talked about and played today. now, some 19 years later he follows it up with part 2. nobody works as hard at getting human sounding chattering from their machines as birken and here he treats us to 8 massive cuts of grinding techno that are as humorous as they are danceable.

often overlooked in american techno history are the weird and wonderful flavours to have emanated from the mid-west over the years. no two finer exponents have there been than minnesotas paul birken and freddy fresh. their contributions date back to the early nineties when freddy was exploring the possibilities of extreme techno (via labels like labworks, experimental and his own analog) - an activity that paul took up a while later after debuting on woody mcbrides renegade communique label in 1996. teaming up for the first of two collaborations on this 12 inch, paul and freddy open with >the fate of thirty eight< - a belting slab of analogue techno, where machines shriek and squawk like possessed animals on the loose.

the mythical beasts are felix dickinson and toby tobias (or for this release crockett and tubbs ... perhaps even pegasus & jian). >communicate< comes with remixes by permanent vacation, das volt & alphabet city. complete with deluxe packaging & 180g vinyl pressing.

what a beautiful noise! with his second ep for cocoon recordings, antoine husson aka dj djedi continues where he had stopped with his >the devils star<-ep in 2009. the experience of the paris-born producer, who has worked for renowned labels such as f comm, communique, elp medien and paul nazcas label scandium!

as world economies crumble, paranoia and mass hysteria run rife throughout the fractured communities of our troubled planet. nearly 30 months since the last full length communique, transmissions have been forced further underground. after a gruelling series of campaigns at the frontline, special agent manasyt delivers yet another damning dossier of evidence against the unseen corruptors. the processed signals contained within offer a temporary solution, brief respite from the onslaught of treachery that engulfs every facet of modern life. for those amongst us already able to decipher the hidden meanings embedded in the data, this will serve only to confirm your worst fears and suspicions, and urge to you take immediate evasive action. stay tuned for further instructions...

1993 classic!! forgemasters track with no name became the historic first single release on warp!!

with electric rescue, the french dj d jedi, who is known all over paris, becomes a part of the cocoon family. he is connected with the development of techno in france already since the beginning of the nineties. despite being busy as a producer for commercials and soundtracks, he always finds some time to release exciting electronic music on imprints such as f comm, communique, elp media and paul nazcas label scandium, where he has released his debut album >el.ue< three years ago. with the two tracks on >the darkest star<, electric rescue succeeds in the daring feat of transforming the energy of rave tracks from the early nineties into the present time without producing an anachronistic impression. besides a tectonically shaking bass drum, the title track relies on the power of sound, a superlative of raw club energy with a twist of irony, which can set a surprising climax with a steadily rising noise level, even after almost ten minutes. >the devils dance< is grafting a comparably brute state-of-emergency techno in a somehow restrained way, rhythm-wise, but is no less effective with its distinctive acid sound effects. and who said that modern techno cant use the tradition of belgian rave-signal-floor-burners?
