you can tell label owner max m loves producers that arent afraid to experiment with the most hypnotic and mind bending properties of techno and electronic music in general. with seven release under its belt, its now obvious that grey series was conceived around a very clear idea: organic sounds, complete lack of stylistic restrictions and an overarching love for introspective and crepuscular atmospheres. the eighth 12inch in the series is signed by spanish producer tadeo, who follows a long list of releases on his very own cyclical tracks and another intelligence imprints with four caliginous cuts that belong to the brainiest and state inducing sets
with a sprawling discography that can be traced as far back as 2005, the last few years have found the providence-based noise artist ren schofield shifting his attention towards his container guise with increasing vigour, delivering full-length albums for spectrum spools and i just live here, as well as an acclaimed ep for rabih beainis much-lauded morphine records.
highly destructive four track ep from the irrepressible, container (spectrum spools), on morphine records. totally deadly, stripped back and direct. following 12inchs from shake shakir, hieroglyphic being, madteo & metasplice, this one is also going to blow up heads...very loud tip! artwork by maria kassab
container is a recent moniker of nashville, tennessee resident ren schofield who has been actively shifting about the u.s. playing shows and releasing cassettes on his mysterious i just live here imprint for a long while now. known primarily for his god willing project, a disjointed, confusing, maze of crude oscillator, tape, and guitar, ren has established himself as a staple in the east coast underground.
here we have a new experiment in electronic beat oriented music. this is no standard fare, however. it glows with a vision all its own, completely isolated and separate making it difficult to place in the awkward world of the genre. the sounds are a thick stew congealing new ideas and naive experiments into something in the ballpark of the new super weird wolfgang voigt 12 inches, abstract and minimal in nature with time stopping tendencies. take those 12 inches and send them thru the garbage can, tape loop, reel to reel experiments of ake hodells >220 volt buddha< or that weird track with lawnmower by charles amirkhanian on the first slowscan volume and we might be getting closer.
new one from ren schofield s (container) plastic bag imprint. foodman (jp) steps up for this one and brings the insanity menu to to the table...100 copies produced, sold out at source..tip!
steve pepes danza moderna takes cues of all manuel cascones musical experiences (from no wave to weird pop, from sound scores to abstract ethno music and even children music) and puts them inside the big container called dance music trying to demolish some of its automatisms. the result is seven tracks that feel too alive to enclose them in a genre. music thats playful and transcendental at the same time, with the kind of natural and effortless feel thats so hard to achieve

night blind is richard fearless second release on drones white label series. the title track coalesced in the early hours of the morning as diffuse, turneresque lights glimmered across the thames and the container was pounded by a storm. unnerving and melancholic yet with a glimmer of light, this is fearless at his best. on the b side is cancan. with xaviers spiritual acid head, kenichi iwasa, on percussion duties, this is one for peak time body shaking. both tracks were recorded and mixed at the metal box by chris blakey and produced by richard fearless. stamped and numbered edition of 300 vinyl

presenting hieles soundtrack to the film saints, by dieter deswarte. eleven tracks on this 10 inch vinyl. specks of land in the vast infinite sea, islands have long fascinated the human imagination. distant and isolated worlds offer possibilities of escape and create fears of entrapment. the tiny island of saint helena is so remote, it lies a five-day boat journey from the nearest mainland.
my cube is cubes first vinyl lp and it is a multifaceted, kaleidoscopic listen, containing a multitude of moods and atmospheres. it sounds like the west coasts answer to container, and will appeal to fans of aussie synth-punks total control just as much as it will to fans of regis, silent servant, and their seminal downwards record label.
from the depths of the dark net come telkhin, the latest addition to the shipwrec roster. following earth being recycled on detroit underground, the argentine project are debuting on vinyl with five tracks of off-world electronics. the chilling atmospherics of -body container- meet the needle before an electro iciness takes hold. spiking snares and echoed radiowaves orbit the moody walk in, that same frosted futurism central to level above human. telkhin melts man and machine, giving the computer age a humanoid form. processors whirr in the bassy bleeps and residues of brithomber before the final statement. leaving the human world behind flight 19 is a fast and future funk driven piece of 2050 music. forget the past, embrace the next step. limited run of 150 coloured copies.
the diving occurs when the flexible part of the larger container is pressed inwards, increasing the pressure in the larger container, causing the diver to sink to the bottom until the pressure is released, when it rises back to the surface, felix kubin presses the sound of the cartesian diver to the surface, which generate three music masterpieces: i cant sleep, an ode to insomnia, polarisation, two poles of kubinski dadaism and taucher, which starts very deep under the sea and struggle with full pressure and energy to the surface. the cartesian diver is alive! all tracks by felix kubin, a1 features vocals by giada pesce, mastered by rashad becker. available only on vinyl!

>celebration, florida< casts scenes of dreamy characters and stories interwoven like a block of primetime tv. among the tales: a young woman who sets off to find a secret paradise, a teenager who enters a boxing gym in catskill, ny, a late night host recounting his rise to fame to his honeybee while traveling in a private jet, shady degenerates who get lost in a mystery concerning a honda civic, a young girl who crimps her hair and spies her dead father driving down the road, a wall street scandal hits a little too close to home, and even a trip through space to find long forgotten hollywood parties and hopefully make it back there in time to walk down the red carpet. the felice brothers are: ian felice, james felice, christmas, greg farley, and david turbeville.

its really difficult to find something truly original nowadays. something different, something personal. juju & jordash are this and much more. for the second downbeat, they give us two times 10 minutes gems. psychodelic, dubby and slow beats with a bit of raw and acid elements in a continuous evolution. pure juju & jordash sound 100% downbeat style music with soul in a corporeal container .. this label is dedicated to yagoba. aupa!
slamming hypnotic techhouse action from henry (known from his classic releases on container, harthouse , mfs, superstition...) and denis karimani aka remute. dominated by a sustaining synth-chord, percussive beats and a funky bassline-bit this tune sounds absolutely fresh... incl superb efdemin remix (dial, liebe*detail...)
scuba continues his uncompromising scb moniker with caibu, a twelve track lp of cerebral techno, darkened disco and broken beats. paul roses career has enjoyed a unique trajectory that affords his reputation as one of the scenes most forward-thinking artists, label heads and promoters. always the risk taker, his hotflush imprint is credited as a key force behind the evolution of bass music, whilst his ground-breaking booking policy for the sub:stance night at berghain opened up one of the worlds most revered venues to new sounds and musical possibility. today he continues to challenge the status quo of electronic music through a packed touring schedule, various artistic projects of his own and a weekly radio show platforming new material. caibu is his first album as scb and incorporates material from the below the line and Ôold media new society eps of last year. preceding the release, a third ep - engineered morality - continuing to explore the fictional narrative in which a climate-related disaster corrupts a hypothetical timeline. the title of the album itself refers to an imagined surgical procedure where cognitive ability is augmented through transplant from one brain to another. as such, caibu and its accompanying eps invite the listener to forge their own ideas on the development of society in the context of crisis. within this dystopic setting, caibu draws strength from introspection. at times trapped in a pressurized container, at others floating through vast spaces, scb merges subdued hypnotism, syncopated basslines and visceral ambience to find his centre.
