electro industrial tracks ltd release

johan sturesson and annie gylling aka kord with a 4-tracker for femur.

futuro perfecto ist die eindrucksvolle erste veröffentlichung von univac für femur. dabei wird die leidenschaft für maschinenähnliche, kalte und raue geräusche betont. die auswahl der klänge ist vielfältig und nicht klassifizierbar und trotzdem behält der sound seine persönliche und nicht übertragbare note.

the new femur release features the swiss duo savage grounds, agents of a dirty, raw and miserable sound.

despojos cósmicos (cosmic debris) is julio tornero s debut at femur. a plea in favour of dark, sullen, wretched, repetitive and miserable music. four tracks swinging between mechanical dance, decadent experimentation and a trip to that place, which was abandoned long time ago.

senales, spanish for signals, is the new work and debut at femur by rafa m. espinosa, aka geistform. it depicts a round trip to the darkest side, the sullen and dismal side of our sonic concept. the four tracks, which make up this 12- range from odes to smacking electro beat, obsessive mid-tempos, old industrial echoes and sinister and unsettling atmospheres.

femur s second release goes deeper into totally unsettling, dark and gloomy sounds. this time with one of our most valued fellow artists celldöd. we are proud to press the track -terrorbalans- for the first time on vinyl. it had been previously released on cassette by celldöd himself on his own platform brutal disciplin. he has also included two unreleased tracks, the machine-like -svart sira- and -socker-, dirtier and naughtier. the closure to this second reference is a magnificent remix by swedish duo fishermen, originally released on brutal disciplin, too.

femur rec makes its debut as a recording label with a 12 by the scandinavian trio, frak. there is not much we can add about these three brilliant swedish artists, as their decade-long careers begin in the mid-eighties and is full of references in well-known labels as börft records, lux records or dark entries.

the record opens with utopia , a luminous, evocative and fascinating track by the german artist hyboid, the undoubted leader of space and cosmic sounds. the british artist kid machine replicates on the same album side with the track fighting fears , which includes echoes of disco and den haag sounds. on the other side of this 12inch, we will listen first to monologues , a hypnotic-percussive track signed by the renowned french artist in aeternam vale. non auro, sed ferro by hesperius draco closes down the album, fizzing among their usual coordinates: horror disco, retro wave and soundtrack sounds.

for over 4 years, david coccagna aka chaperone has been a constant part of great circles, as musician, art director, and muse. with snapback balaclava he once again fully embodies all of those roles, delivering three inspiring tracks, selecting his remixers with specific attention to their musical histories, and designing his cover art. across the a-side, chaperone scrapes away at the grit – personal grit, the grit of anxiety, and philly grit. these are meditations on loops, and loops on meditations. each one appears on the surface to be a brief quote, but time dilation takes over, and minutes later we discover that chaperone has welcomed us into and back out of his own healing moment. like chaperone s p o n d release grcr-009, the b-side of snapback balaclava is a great circles extended family affair with a trio of diverse remixes that expose and exploit fragments of the chaos chaperone so carefully contained. hitoshi kojima thrive reinterprets pulse feels swells beating with relentless syncopated rhythms and synth lines that hang like massive string drones. m//r lays down a signature percussion ensemble palette, zeroes in on otherwise peripheral elements of grit neglect, and then deftly navigates sea change with both. matt korvette and sean mcguinness of philly punk band pissed jeans open up the pit and finish the story, taking femur baseball bat to its literal and brutal potential with monstrous vocals and kicks.
