helena hauff s label continues to subvert all expectations by celebrating the truly underground and ignoring all expectations to provide obvious club material in line with her dj sets. instead we get treated to blood sport, a daring post punk band with a whiff of the pop group in their frenzied, messy style and plenty of sonic trickery occurring in between the intricate playing. -harsh realm- has the textural finish of earliest cabaret voltaire, but with a little more deft playing from the intensely talented players. -boiled in dust- meanwhile has a distinctly afrobeat-meets-industrial spirit that makes for striking, original material that should appeal to lovers of the truly alternative side of british music culture.

pt.ii sees tale of us collaborating with ovend, a french producer whose only prior output is a pair of eps for amandra s ahrpe label. mathew jonson, hunter/game and keith carnal are also among those making their afterlife label debut, while recondite, woo york and aether are back after previously appearing on the label.

nice price deal !!!

using his 2014 opal tapes opus ‘holo earth’ as a jump-off point, jimmy billingham aka holovr lays down an expansive 5 track mini lp for edinburgh’s firecracker recordings. deeply atmospheric and functioning in multiple realms, trace realm is a collection of drawn out acid and ambient textures with nods to early uk rave and no wave electronics. essential celestial, new age dreaminess, battered acid and fried techno. • unique 5 track ep from holovr • strictly limited vinyl • silkscreened artwork by house of traps

with 8 sell out releases under the contrast wax belt so far, the boutique label invites, ben boe -boe recordings/for those that knoe- label head to the family & he joins the likes of blm, ethyl & flori, gauss & laak, with a killer 3 track ep, hand-stamped & hand numbered in true contrast wax style. the lead of the 3 cuts, steel city fly by is built around a lo slung bassline & subtle atmospheric pads that swell & drift in and out throughout, the b-side: what starts off with soft subtle pads & skipping hats soon rises into a bubbling acid line to compliment the latter in hope for enceladus that leave s the final cut of the ep byzantine times a laidback, groover, layered with delayed snares & synth lines make this emotive piece the perfect end to a solid 3 tracker.

the album evokes the deadening american landscapes of school shootings, military suicides & societal dissolution. written and recorded in a crappy apartment in north hollywood while surrounded by poverty, drug abuse and suicide. a dynamic lp that covers a lot of ground in its 45 minutes: ethereal voices, techno rhythms, blasts of electronics. released in an edition of 200 on 180 gram vinyl with unique silk screened sleeves and stamps, color print insert and download code.

long standing sonic groove artist realmz returns with his latest release nocturnal realm. a stunning four track ep of diverse techno sounds.the ep starts off with air supremacy a mechanical broken beat laden industrialized techno track that oozes with machine funk. continuing into the depths of the sonic groove is circulation. a rhythmic 4/4 pulsating workout which commands its way thru the speakers with a swath of fury. swinging the mood over into deeper melancholic grooves are the thought provoking hypnotic melodies of songs metamorphic and architecture of time. two tracks that dig deep far inside your mind. realmz clearly shows creative versatility on this ep. another great releases from this very original sounding artist
