cylon recordings with their new output

another extra-terrestrial movement from space cadets. australian artist nether returns with three tracks of understated and on point dub-influenced electronica. the much sought after glacial dub finally finds its way onto wax, with the 8 minute long roller proving one of the labels most soundsystem orientated tracks so far and a firm favourite with fans.
a side neptune builds with a tuned delicacy, layers of reverb hosting a restrained beat alongside melancholic synth work. sea of glass typifies nethers atmosphere driven sound, furthering his explorations into deep sonic space initiated on his previous release for space cadets.
original sleeve artwork is once again contributed by us illustrator theo ellsworth. all vinyl pressed to extra heavy 180g.

after 36 years of the first edition of -kiss kiss bang bang- in uk and australia, now available worldwide!

album #10

deep long dub-techno tracks. b1 ordentlich mit drive!

cassette version of the black replica album.

f-dorm is a collaboration between connor camburn of litüus (avian), and visual artist conor ekstrom. commune follows the first f dorm cassette on mazurka and presents the first lp by the project. songs build upon unexpected repetition, wielding normally aggressive sounds into meditative loops with subtle textural evolutions. bursts of tape saturation, controlled waves of feedback, and linear drum beats shift and weave together through rhythmic delays. affected vocals speak low as if coaxing the listener further out into the nether regions of the mind. the strange cumulative mood of the record is difficult to describe: a transcendental state or a foul parallel from which the listener arises stronger or does not arise at all. mummies in civilian clothes -the master of the riddle-a dollmind haunts me in the penitentiary -the puttyman, naked inside -a mind made of cream

an addendum horrificata to the fantastic lp, haex-hrll aka dj overdose returns from the nether regions of space with a louder dancefloor cut of sleeper hit north of warren accompanied by witchy and dread filled extras. remixes are provided by label heads antoni maiovvi who takes test tube babies from the further from the truth lp into tripped out waters and vercetti technicolor, who reimagines north of warren for blood-soaked 90s hollywood vampires. brand new master by brassica! art by eric a. lee.

roman producer (and a force behind minimalrome label) valerio lombardozzi known as heinrich dressel returns to barba with a second release for our label, titled -the styx swamp-. heinrich has a unique way of combining classic techno and electro sounds with elements from the beloved drexcyan universe and john carpenter leitmotifs, and making them come together in a manner that both moves your body and pushes your mind beyond the point of awareness. as with the previous record, -lurking underwater-, here he pulls off the move with the same efficiency and without sounding like he s repeating himself. -gray slope-, -sailing the nether waterways- and -the styx swamp- are all quite moody and deep, rich with sound and thick with vibe. however, the tracks feel equally at home in 4 am techno situation and a heady afterhours affair. he truly is a master of crafting hybrids whose influences get so flawlessly embedded that it s hard to point them out. if that s not enough, -the styx swamp- got a treatment by nigel rogers aka perseus traxx, a multi-faceted producer and a mighty live act performer. nigel stayed respectful to the original but made the original s bouncy groove into something more direct and reduced, while retaining the same feel conditioned by lead synth s hypnotic quality. we re known to give a little bit of extra love to our releases so (as all before) this one s pressed onto a heavy duty 180 gram vinyl and beautifully packaged in an original artwork by emaemaema.

nice price deal !!! canyons story is one of intrigue and mystery, one that can be traced back to the nether valley in the outer regions of the western australian landscape. ryan grieve and leo thomson began making music separately, under various guises, before coming together as canyons.

some believe that the environment in which you make music – from the studio space, to the location itself – has a profound effect on the creative process. immerse yourself in the world around you, the theory goes, and it will shape the music you make. listen to gorthleck, the third album from veteran downtempo alchemists benjamin smith and paul ‘mudd’ murphy, and you can almost visualize the craggy, windswept and breathtakingly beautiful environment in which it was made.

the second album from evil blizzard, continuing the journey down into the nether regions of sub-frequency sound. pressed on 140g red vinyl.

refreshing as a blast of warm disco breeze to the nether regions comes this sultrily intoxicating outing which sees hanna produced in paris by purple musics alfred azzetto and italys vincent valler, accompanied by a genre straddling array of mixes. the french sung tune recalls classic french disco while the backdrops are sympathetic despite their diversity: alfreds sub sub mix stretches around the incredibly catchy song as a sexy piano vamp, dj fopp & walterino take the straightahead house route, ii moods recall knuckless 90s productions with lashings of stately piano, christian hornbostel goes for minimal dub, souldynamic & fioresehome home in on the sexy vocal over a gathering acid storm to delirious effect and blacksoul uncork a thumping deep house excursion uncannily recalling late 80s chicago with bare piano and haunting textures before switching gear to new york of that period. each one is dominated by that great vocal, the sort that sounds great on whatever you place it on apart from david camerons beat box bottom. pretty essential.
