Pattern Repeat – Pattern Repeat 09 [PATTERNREPEAT09]
Pattern Repeat ready the next release on their self-titled label with two solid cuts of techno. The project which was started back in 2009 by the two Danish producers, Dennis Bøg, better known as Resoe, and Kenneth Christiansen owner of Echocord Records. A crawling filtered synth opens ‘009A’, murky kick drums and syncopated high-hats join it, to create a long winding warehouse melody, these are then exchanged for the hazy sounds of white noise of ‘009B’ packed with cold eerie drones, that are met by charged hums that fizz away and bring the release to a close.
Le Officine Di Efesto – The Elements EP [SPAZIO013]
Spazio Disponibile hits release number 13 in style with a collaborative effort between label co-founder Donato Dozzy and longtime friends Retina.it. It is a typically experimental release that features five weird and wonderful tracks, seeing the label taking yet another dip into the more leftfield areas of electronic music.
Module Werk – Destination Unknown [LSM003]
Module Werk continues his fine form of recent releases with another fresh sounding production for Lime Street Music. Slabs of raw drum patterns meet jittery acid and nervy cold synths resulting in four different trips for varying moods. Jeremiah R appears on remix duties and turns out a real late night driving track in his usual signature style.
Interviews – Bitterfeld #03 [BIT03]
Bitterfeld teams up with Leipzig’s Interviews to brings you a club ready record full of electro/EDM belters plus a hands in the air kraut revival killer for the B2.
Posatronix – Danz EP [DBC4W-030]
Released in 1997, the sound of electro / techno came to a point where it had to evolve into a new and more grounded entity, keyed into funk / space & rooted origins that reflected an ever-changing landscape throughout Detroit and the ‘Aux-Quadrant’. The bouncy bass line soul of ‘Posatronix’ project emerges in silence among several platforms without hint of a proper biography or introduction. Now in 2018, we re-introduce these dance floor/ dj crate mainstays that have continued to be cherished classics from the very men that not only too rhythmically-funky electro by storm, but raised the bar and took matters into their own hands. 100% Mechanical Electronic Funk.
D.I.E. – The Men You’ll Never See Pt. 2 [CWCS010]
Second time around for D.I.E’s The Man You’ll Never See Part 2, a near legendary set of bustling, funk-fuelled electro cuts that first surfaced on Clone back in 2003. This new edition includes five of the EP’s six original tracks, replacing “Space Travel” with the similarly sought-after “Programming” – a Drexciya-esque workout rich in fizzing drum machine beats, rumbling sub-bass and deep space acid lines – which originally appeared on 2002’s Keep Hanging EP. It remains a superb set of tracks, all told, with the Motor City duo flitting between deep and melodious cuts (“Other People”), vocal-laced Cybotron tributes (“Keep Hanging”), decidedly intergalactic fare (“Out With Tha Old”) and quirky, glassy-eyed gems (“U Can’t See Us”).
Poison Arrow – If You Don’t Love Me (I’ll Cut Your Face) [PLEASURED007]
S S S S – Systematic Suspense [LXRC33]
LXRC33 is the second installment of the Unsung and Defeated series. Music comes from S S S S, another local act, based in Lucerne. Five industrial cinematic soundscapes, eerie noises building alarmed state of minds. From most subtle to crushing and pounding. A systematic suspense that transforms itself into a systematic destruction.
Konkurs – Object Of Subversion [A+WXXII]
R.B. / TBZ – Coozie / Mad Sick [R=A+7=2]
Cranky, dubbed-out electro fizz from Robert Bergman and TBZ, freshly percolated for the R=A 7” series. Dangerous voltage in the hot tub.
Fixmer – The God [A+WXXI]
VA – Mechatronica White 1 [MTRONW001]
Mechatronica launches their new White series, dedicated to limited edition white label records across synth, wave, EBM and italo with a VA release featuring Inhalt, Violet Poison, Sneaker and Daniel Holt. Mechatronica White 1 opens with Sneaker’s gloomy remix of German synth-pop band Opus Leopard, followed by the electrifying instrumental version of ‘Alles’ – a relentlessly progressing piece of body music from San Francisco trio, Inhalt. On the flip, Violet Poison summons a fat, trippy EBM-leaning groove, before Daniel Holt finishes off the record with anthemic synths and a ticket to the cosmos on ‘Floating Mansions’.
Morah – Ursa Major [BT23]
Athens based producer Morah returns to brokntoys for a full solo EP to showcase his DIY ethos across 6 tracks of unrefined, sinister electro suitable for murky dancefloors.
VA – Outer Himmalayan Presents [DE205]
Dark Entries and Sacred Bones team up to release the early discography of UK synth-punk and Deathrock label Outer Himmalayan Records. Between 1979 and 1982, Nick Blinko and Martin Cooper’s Outer Himmalayan Records released 7-inches by three short-lived bands – The Magits, Soft Drinks, and S-Haters – who would nonetheless cast a massive shadow on the UK’s burgeoning post-punk/anarcho punk scene. Outer Himmalayan Presents collects all of the music found on those original records, along with rare and unreleased tracks by all three bands. It’s a snapshot of a period of frenzied creativity by some of the UK’s most thrilling experimental punks.
Nexda – Words & Numbers [ERC037/MNQ097/BP102]
Mannequin, Emotional Rescue and Blowpipe come together to release the music of Dutch post-punk, industrial outsiders Nexda, by releasing a collection of music drawn from all their single and EP vinyl releases, to offer a compelling album. Taken from two 12′ EPs, a split 7′ and a flexi 7′, all released in 1982, the music within Word & Numbers captures striking compositions, part of, but some way removed from their contemporary post-punk bands coming out of the Dutch Ultra’ scene of the time.
