the mystery artist or cane is the dance floor outlet of funckarma aka don & roel funcken (nl). music for the body but with an increase in cognitive focus, the mystery artist sound has the rawness and darkness of funckarma with a tilt towards techno, electro and acid. >gwane mone< sees the return of the ma after a first release on skam records, with a unique blend of heavy bass lines and offbeat electro rhythms. the a-side starts with the dark slow mood of >jinn<, a track defining the general atmosphere of the record. the pace gets picked up through >oid trazzle<, a modern electro killer with that distinct attention to detail of the funcken brothers. the b-side continues with the mental bass of >gwane mone<, a brooding subbass line accompanies an offbeat rhythm structure. the ep finishes with >ssiwsk<, a track closer to the cane sound and with a distinct intent for the underground dance floor. the gwane mone ep builds up through the four tracks and therefore works equally well as a dj-tool and as an up-tempo home listening record

det ar grymt i norr is a compilation of exclusive tracks by artists reflecting the contemporary swedish underground electronic music scene: alvar, celldod, dissocio modus trans, hjarnkultur, agent side grinder, kinder aus asbest, aemit and yabibo hazurfa (special scandinavian letters not included). the title of the compilation, swedish for it s grim up north describes the atmosphere perfectly - in swedish, grymt also means cool. the gloomy cover was designed by erik soderberg. subtitled swedish synthetic darkness, the music on the album is intense, hard and cold at first listen but boiling with emotions underneath the surface. expect industrial, ebm, coldwave, acid and everything on the spectrum between electro and ambient. thank you for the music.

phono ghosts (alias of producer neil scrivin - also behind meatbingo) returns with his long-awaited second album released via brand new imprint fonolith. building upon the cassette-raiding, micro-sampling methodology and varied sound landscape of 2013’s chrome position on skam records, solar dream reel is a journey through summery funk, mangled radio jingles, evocative atmospheres and anthemic edit-stomp, all filtered via the shimmery analogue lens of the compact cassette. a sonic exploration of that borderland between the waking world and sleep - a place everyone has been to but few remember - phono ghosts comes back to reality with a selection of vivid polaroids and cassette memories from his visits to the hypnagogic hinterland of the collective unconscious and presents these pure distilled documents for you on four beautiful sides of vinyl. something may have come back with him...

part of the current crop of artists spearheading the uk acid revival, posthuman s output has evolved over the years, encompassing many genres & styles from their early electronica releases, to their later acid & slow-mo techno. their debut release in 2000 was a series of hand made cds simply called -posthuman- (though better known by the colour of the card inserts grey, black, blue and brown). the duo then went on to host a number of parties in an abandoned underground train station in london between 2001 and 2004, and founded their own label seed records (2) with which they released 3 albums and several other releases of their own and other artists material. they also were the first act on manchester based imprint skam s smak sublabel. doherty left seed records to help relaunch uk techno imprint b12 records in 2006, and started a new label balkan vinyl in 2010. in 2007, doherty founded london-based acid house retrospective clubnight i love acid- where posthuman are monthly resident djs. in 2014 the clubnight launched a vinyl-only label of the same name. he also performs as agt rave cru and as one half of altern 8 live shows since 2015.

s>>d aka sean dorris from belfast delivers his debut album co intel pro on cpu. refined sampling alongside hip hop influenced breaks sees s>>d operating in a similar dimension to vhs head. reminiscent of 1980s sci-fi soundtracks interwoven with idm-tinged electro, haunting atmospheres prevail throughout with hints of a genre that has yet to emerge. presented over 2x12inch vinyl at 45rpm for superior sound quality. fans of pye corner audio, gescom or indeed anything on skam will certainly dig this.

the new ohm compilation from ambidextrous records features some top drawer electronic acts such as norken (delsin, skam, clear) and christ.

suction records is proud to present the 4th and final volume of rx-101’s “ep” series of vinyl releases, showcasing a selection of standout cuts from dutch producer erik jong’s vast archive of previously-unreleased techno, idm, acid, and electro, recorded to cassette from 1997-1999. roland’s cover-star instruments, the sh-101 and juno-106, play a prominent role in ep 4’s sound - a playful mix of joyous, sometimes haunting synthesizer melodies, and raw, crunchy percussion. from the early-squarepusher melodies of opener themis, to the eerie boards of canada-like nostalgia of transmission, ep 4 delivers 6 tracks of classic late-90s electronix, with rx-101 affirming himself as an unheralded master in the rephlex/warp/skam domain.

formed in 1997, and inaugurated that year with a split 12inch from new-comers and label founders, solvent and lowfish, this year suction records celebrates its 20th anniversary with the re-introduction of their famed snow robots series of compilations. while originally started as a north american answer to uk electronix labels like rephlex, skam and warp records, a sound that is still a staple of the current suction records catalog, suctions sound has also swerved into new territories, reflecting our love of dark 80s electronic music synthpop, ebm, and beyond. snow robots volume 4 features an international array of artists, fromsuction records mainstays like digital poodle, june, celldoed, and ceramic hello (with their much sought-after 1982 vocoder anthem), to label-favourites appearing on suction records for the first time: beau wanzer, morah, and one of skanfrom/sleeparchives lesser known aliases, civil defence programme.

we re very proud to announce the release of a new series of records, between modern retro-futuristic library music and idm, inaugurated by the fabulous bill vortex! also known as poborsk for about 20 years, patrice curtillat is one of the spearheads of the idm in france. he has been released on prestigious labels such as icasea (team doyobi), central processing unit, or flogsta danshall, and he is the cofounder of the skweee label mazout, so autechre were right by choosing him as the first part in lyon during their last french tour. recognized by his peers from scandinavia to england, he is a discreet but brilliant producer of the stamp of labels like skam or warp, with in addition a typical marseilles balearic touch. in this new project he reconnects with his old loves : funk, breakdance, house oldschool ... always keeping his inimitable style made of granular grooves, and pentatonic melodies in a sunny atmosphere. his -feelgood music- is the ideal soundtrack for a science fiction series, a 4g tv report, or a motorcycle race.

nice price deal !!! beginning its activities in the early nineties, the shadowy gescom collective has released material on clear, leaf, chocolate industries, skam, warp, worm interface, and source labels.
gescom exists as a platform for a number of aligned artists to work in various different combinations, whilst remaining otherwise-anonymous. personnel in gescom has varied from release to release and even track. gescom continues to operate and shift its identities.

debut release for ra journalist dan petry using the moniker ged. the dry river ep is an accomplished first outing that fans of drexciya, dave clarke and objekt should investigate. ged s sound is rooted in detroit electro, early rave, 90s warp sensibilities and the gorgeous electronica palettes of manchester s skam label, most notable on early boards of canada and bola s work. that is to say kicking drums, dark brooding undercurrents and delicious soundscapes. definitely worth checking.

after 19 years in the game, techno veteran jens lowtec kuhn is still going strong. while he s recently been in a nostalgic mood as reissues of early material prove kuhn is still capable of producing fresh, high quality material. there s much to enjoy about this first ep for new malmo label blundar, from the loud tape hiss, spooky melodies and weirdo ambient dub intent of track 2, to the moody, early autechre throb of skam-ish closer track 4. dancefloor-minded thrills come in the shape of hypnotic opener track 1 all unsettling, one-note chords, restless rhythms and distant electronics and the hard-topigeonhole madness of the schizophrenic track 3

„obsidian“ lässt raum für melodie zwischen den kicks und snares und öffnet sich dem hörer in einem traumähnlichen gefilde. damage verzichtet dabei eher auf rohe beats, tracks wie „cosmonaut“, „parallax view“ und „transmission“ liefern aber mit sicherer schlagkraft einen adrenalinschub. es sind jedoch die sphärischen titel wie „pulse width“ und „poly“, das acid-angehauchte „tetrapod“ und das großartige „shimmer“, mit denen sich der künstler tiefer in das unbekannte wagt. man fühlt sich an die genialität von afx, skam und autechre erinnert. „obsidian“ zeichnet sich durch ein zusammenspiel von wärme, herz, seele und viel viel schweiß aus und zeichnet somit ein perfektes bild und ein grandioses finale für das label. benjamin damage selbst beschreibt das album als: -collection of fragmented memories from all the music i’ve ever liked, distorted and restructured into a full length techno record. a purely personal project and an end of an era with 50weapons.” man vergisst schnell, dass benjamin damage erst seit 2010 platten veröffentlicht. nur zwei jahre, nachdem sein erster track released wurde, erschien sein hochgelobtes debüt-album „they!live“ zusammen mit doc daneeka. damages erste solo-album folgte im folgenden jahr und zeigte eine entwicklung hin zum von plaid und jeff mills geprägten sonic sci-fi. kritiker lobten die wärme und rückkehr des souls in die von kälte geprägte welt des berlin-techno.
