Fragedis – Nature Causing Chaos EP [FERMAV004]

FERMA welcomes Fragedis. A driving force in the local underground for over two decades, Fragedis is renowned for his eclectic, genre-blending, DJ sets and productions. Staying loyal to the craft and deeply committed to the culture, he is also co-hosting Healthy Summer in Crete, one of Greece’s most revered festivals for authentic rave culture. This release features six tracks that perfectly encapsulate FERMA’s sound identity and forward-thinking vision. The A-side opens with Teras, an atmospheric piece with immersive vocals that lay the foundation for the journey ahead. Thrust Reverse cranks up the intensity with industrial-driven arpeggios, primed to ignite the dancefloor. Closing out the first side is a stripped-down reprise of Teras, reimagined by a legendary artist who has shaped the Athenian industrial sound – true name strictly confidential. Flipping to the B-side, Live in Lies drifts into deeper territory, weaving atmospheric pads and trancey synth sequences for introspective, eyes-down moments. Bringing it all home, Fasaries delivers an electro spinoff that rounds out the release’s sonic character and journey.

VA – Astral Projections [AC016]

Alien Communications has sent out some otherworldly transmissions to cult electro talents E.R.P., Client_03, Plant43 and Carl Finlow and in return they have been sent a series of killer new tunes for this bumper double 12″. ERP’s ‘Telenovela’ I first to cast off into the cosmos with solar winds gently blowing over kinetic drums and far-sighted celestial pads. MOY brings some wonky acid turbulence to the trip on ‘Pale Nimbus’ and Juno favourite Carl Finlow gets a little grubby with his gloopy, sordid electro wobbler ‘Woven’. Another titan of the scene, Radioactive Man, comes through with a winky gem that harks back to Two Lone Swordsmen on ‘Space Junk’, with many other essentials from the likes of Abduction, Domenic Cappello, DMX Crew, FASME, Reptant and Transparent Sound making this utterly essential.

VA – A Benumbed Waiting [SLVMNCR010]

A Benumbed Waiting is a ruthless odyssey where reality bends and the rhythm of chaos takes hold. This Limited Edition Cassette album contains 15 tracks featuring an unholy marriage of Barcelona’s underground stew and international artists who somehow know exactly how to make pulsating noise feel like liberation. The compilation oozes grit and mad creativity, from deep acid basslines to harsh industrial textures, wonky bass explosions and driving electro rhythms.

Elektrotechnik – Impulse EP [TGRWDS05]

Elektrotechnik – Impulse EP is functional, dark, built for the dance floor. Machine-tight sequencing stands in contrast to an emotional atmosphere across four original tracks. A tense, precisely constructed record that explores control, repetition and feelings. Dutch legend Rude 66 delivers a slowed-down mutation of “Impulse” with his signature vocoder work, while Teslasonic recharges “Das Fundament” with a tight acid bassline.

The Zodiacs – Move & Dance To The New Beat [THANKYOU045]

This one-off Belgian New Beat project from The Zodiacs at first glance seems like standard fare from this time and place in dance music history – even with call to action, commanding listeners to ‘Move & Dance To The New Beat!’ that could well have earned a place at one of the slogans of the entire movement in an alternative universe where this record was a hit.  However, a hit it was not – what we have here is an obscure piece of music shrouded in mystery, previously released only on 7 inch, and its enigmatic nature only adds to eerie quality of the children’s voices throughout the record. This, alongside its higher tempo not usually associated with New Beat as a musical form, come together to bring forth a bizarre oddity of the genre that also has the potency of a modern, peak time weapon. Anatolian Weapons on remix duties takes the material and reduces the speed but increases the malevolence and is a testament to his skills as one of the great producers working today
