2023 edition - black vinyl - after three stand out eps over the last three years for l.i.e.s. tzusing delivers his debut lp for the label. here we get seven tracks of precison crafted electronics, unmistakenly taking the artists signature industrial fueled sound and opening it up to a new dimension far beyond the typical metal beat clang. emotional, dark and powerful, the album title taken literally means -invincible east- based on a character (a swordsman) in a jin yong novel who must make the ultimate sacrifice to attain knowledge and transform. the narrative goes in hand with the artists observations living and travelling throughout asia and provides a haunting soundtrack for a bleak future where few dare to subvert the power structures at hand.

tzusing returns to l.i.e.s. with his third and (final?) name out of place ep after two now sought after percusors leading up to this one. again we are not disappointed as the massive opener face of electric hits hard taking a typical breakbeat formula and adding some sort of bizarre ritualistic element like the zulu nation or george kranz in a ceremony at a steel factory. emotional eater slows the tempo down, but again the machines grind hard with tinges of acid, heavy rhythms and sparse vocals moving in and out, while the closer r is a stripped down beater made for mixing. top stuff from the in demand producer.

samo dj, baba stiltz and tzusing came together to form this four track ep that invites you to let your mind wander to foreign territories. take the ride and find yourself in exotic places far from here and now.

theres a delightfully celebratory feel about this debut volume of cititrax tracks, a new 12inch series from minimal wave offshoot cititrax. as beautifully presented as we ve come to expect, tracks volume 1 boasts a quartet of dancefloor-ready smashers from a blend of new faces and label stalwarts. amato (aka the hacker) kicks things off with the glistening ebm funk of physique all restless synth refrains and pounding bottom end before lies affiliate tsuzing go all dark, psychedelic and twisted on the thrillingly intense, acid-flecked king of system. ani go all daf (with a touch of front 242) on the fuzzy and dystopian stomper mutter, before cititrax regulars broken english club delivers a storming chunk of industrial-tinged analogue funk (glass)

after his first ep for l.i.e.s. last year, tzusing is back with his impeccably produced style of industrial and ebm influenced machine grinding cuts.
the tracks on this ep represent the climate of clubbing yesteryear when it was normal for djs to play such things as ministry, front 242, or nitzer ebb next to a disco track next to a breakbeat track and so forth and to say these tracks could be heard somewhere like medusas would not be off base. driving, engaging and downright gnarly we can only hope these sounds foreshadow things opening back up on the floor as time pushs forward.

while industrial and ebm seem to be words buzzing around the media today, not too many artists associated with these words seem to be truly delivering. tzusing, who resides in shanghai has been a student of the game through the years, and has strived to execute his take on these sounds and does so with shining results. this four track ep is a testament to him transforming the metal beat into a sound of his own and running wild without limits. dont miss this!
