berlinisch techno ebm from italy

limited 10th anniversary reissue on coloured double vinyl.

brooklyn based, dj monchan, steps up to perform some surgical edit wizardy on four mouth-watering tracks for the ever-dependable razor-n-tape. ‘reaction control’ kicks things off with a joyous disco gem, dj monchan extending and echoing those killer groovers to create a whirlwind of dancefloor delight. next up, ‘dance it all out’ has a touch of the exotic highlife sound to it but reworked into a dj friendly, irresistibly bouncing jam. flip it and it’s back to the late-night nyc soirees of the 70’s with ‘can’t promise’ channelling that pure unadulterated fun into an ethereal edit of magnetic proportions. taking the final slot of rnt042 ‘get down with your love’ closes out proceedings with a silky smooth soulful heater.

noamm is the electronic equivalent of a honed switchblade. with surgical precision the bass agenda alumnus incises keys, cuts chords, pierces percussion and razors through rhythms. it is this slicing sound that the greek artist brings to his debut 12 for shipwrec. seven tracks of machined melodies and frigid fire make up psychoanalysis. the ep is brimming with calculated fury and clinical rage. from the coursing cruelty of ruhestimmung and the menacing dance macabre to the future world coldness of das schwarze korps, noamm is direct and straight to the point with his hard hitting style and no-nonsense approach. few respites are to be found on this 12, into the abyss of changing subconsious being the only refuge from the arctic winds and audio blasts that scour this record. frosted ferocity from start to finish from this exciting musician.

caibu is paul rose’s first album as scb. the album builds on material from the below the line, old media new society, and engineered morality eps which explored a fictional narrative in which a hypothetical timeline is corrupted by a climate-related disaster. 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 invites the listener to forge their own ideas on the development of society in the context of crisis.

nice price deal !!! a new series of releases hosted by the label superluminal. re discovery represent a slightly different shade from the usual path that matthias has been following by far, this time a feeling that evokes lo-fi beats towards deep/house inspirations. since the beginning has always existed an idea of creating a -subculture- related to the initial project superluminal developed in 2017 in berlin, re discovery is considered as an experiment to re program elements which were adapted and developed considerably, particularly referring to surgical breaks and deep twisted drum patterns.
sequenced using instruments such as: miami acidlab, roland 909, roland juno 106, moog minitaur, roland 505, akai325dx cassette deck...

the second release from ftp explores the sweet spot between detroit ghetto-tech, juke, and jungle. the opening track, “phonky no. 69,” is designed for maximum level booty dropping effect. it starts with a raunchy vocal hook over a booming electro beat, before unleashing nasty breaks, at which point the dance floor is guaranteed to pop off. handle with care when deploying this bomb, the first release from dj dr-660. the second track on the a side paces upward and into juke territory. it fills up the sonic space with lush pads and crisp jungle breaks, before breaking down to thick rhodes chords, in eternal rashad fashion. the b side opens with a track from the mysterious newcomer shadow moses, who teases with some euphoric pads, before launching a massive lardossian missile that heads straight for the booty. the compilation closes with a electro beat executed with surgical precision and care, filled with hypnotic percussive elements and a life-affirming baseline. it was lovingly distilled and synthesized in frankfurt directly from the detroit source.

haunter records’ 2017 kicks off with two new displays of aural expansion by longtime members of the milan-based crew. twin singles from weightausend and petit singe that also mark the label’s first ventures into 7” format. through heavy use of darkened breakbeats and angular dynamics, each of the two producers sets out to have their unique sonic approach ring on throughout the sprawl.
matthias girardi aka weightausend keeps on compiling his private neuroses in a process that seems to achieve catharsis through gloomy analysis and maniacal surgical dissection. hammering down on his dubwise tendencies and his love for the dark side of jungle, he gives out his most club-oriented work to date, channeling two new bassy rollercoasters, including a new version of “green death”.

infektion is back in the catalog with some next level hypnotism. the 4 cuts are crafted with surgical precision. the art of hypnotism at its finest.

plant43 aka emile facey returns to cpu with his second ep for the sheffield imprint, and brings more of his ultra-refined electro to the table. surgical pads, robotic x0x beats and melodic basslines fuse the tracks into faceys signature science-lab machine funk. facey has been very busy since his last outing on cpu back in 2013, with an lp on shipwrec, and ep s on semantica, ac records and frustrated funk. he is showing no sign of slowing down and weightless in the void pushes his sound even further into the future

megatraveller aka acid quiff / art brunell / master jet the destroyer returns to cpu with his second long play (c90) cassette for the label - megatraveller vs endboss. megatraveller wonderfully saturates the whole lp with his signature straight to tape, uneasy listening magnetic funk. through the noise you will find plenty of broken electronic rhythms and modular conversations, alongside surgical acid bassline extraction previously not thought possible. j-card insert artwork by stephanie birdie abdallah mastered at computer club.

nice price deal !!! sometimes you need rough cuts to heal the deep wounds. bronze teeth take a bite with three throbbing tracks that will make your arteries start to squeeze! mayonaise ep is filled with analog machine madness tweaked to ones taste and comes in a surgical inner sleeve by bakk dental care.

after storming the gates with his warmly received tambacounda ep, clap! clap! returns to deliver his debut longplayer. tayi bebba is a conceptual work that manages to balance a highly cerebral concept with making some good old-fashioned bangers. tayi bebba is an album tour of an imagined island, each song representing a location, event or ritual. sonically, it is a fast moving charge across the soundscape, fusing field recordings and found sound with incredibly surgical drum programming. flavours of house, footwork and hip hop punctuate your migration with a very specific sound palate, giving this amazing work a cohesive feel.

east end dubs delivers a surgical strike on this metroline 4-track release

music & drawings by craig richards.

massimiliano is back where he belongs. a backbone of live at robert johnson records, pagliaras take on neo-dance, post-disco and proto-house is as unmistakable as it is dreamlike. with this sound palette, a love for hardware and surgical arrangements > magic serials< sees the berlin-based producers on top of his game. while name checking the tools of his work (the serials, got it?), mp unfolds untold stories of love, high spirits and deep meditation that every romantic rave craves for – acid poetry included.

with the homespun warmth of his album still keeping us toasty as the temperature drops in the northern hemisphere, dave aju offers up two choice cuts from heirlooms to receive surgical treatment at the hands of dear friends and respected practitioners in our beloved corner of electronic music.

new kanada is excited to present two deep advanced house cuts from the mood edit group. >santa domingo< is a peak-time monster house cut - seamlessy blurring the line between minimal and maximal. seriously jackin and bumpin beats collide head-on with haunting sirens and swirling textures. fast enough for the big room - but with a depth and rumble that screams >lock the doors and bring out the good stuff!<. >broken< begins as a tight minimal beat with gritty breakbeats dropping into the mix. slowly it expands into a frenzied piece of surgical funk that fits somewhere between nicolette s >dove song< and carl craig s >bug in a bassbin<. a long extended 8-minute journey into deepest water

troy pierce (aka louderbach, slacknoise and one third of run stop restore with magda and marc houle) unleashes one of the year s most anticipated tracks with >25 bitches<. the original track goes back a while, coming into creation as a joke composed while stuck waiting in an airport. not like humor is never ever a part of troy s music or persona, 25 bitches has been knocking down doors in his & fellow djs sets like magda and richie hawtin since last fall. pierce s bass-heavy mix starts of full of dark ghosts, working into a dub bassline and surgical mix of effects and vocals

one day, all the windows in the city disappeared... then the rain started... no matter what people tried, nothing could stop the water. one of montreal s most respected electronic musicians, david kristian has dozens of albums to his credit and an international cult reputation...

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.
