Ekman – Synaptic Feedback Loops [SHIP031]

October 26, 2015December 14, 2022 hipodromeacid, ekman, electro, roel dijcks, shipwrec records, technoLeave a comment

Nijmegen electro imprint Shipwrec shows us how its done yet again, with Roel Dijcks aka Ekman keeping the Dutch west coast spirit alive with 4 dramatic and haunting acid voodoo tracks certain to draw a new generation to the beauty of the dark side.. “Autapse” begins proceedings in haunting fashion; spooky church organs provide the backdrop for an epic, soaring acid lead while “Uncertainty Principle” is sub-aquatic, Drexciyan electro for freaks. On the flip is the title track; keeping on like before but with a four to the floor beat for added dancefloor dynamics. Finally “Antinomy” delves into deeper terrain; its razor sharp and morphing synth line leading you further into the darkness of the abyss.

Jamal Moss ‎- 4 This Is My Gherkin Life Vol. 3 [GHERKINCD003]

October 21, 2015November 2, 2022 hipodromeacid, album, chicago, gherkin tracks, jamal moss, mathematics recordings, technoLeave a comment

While Larry Heard only ever produced two 12″ singles under the Gherkin Jerks alias, the ragged acid tracks featured in those EPs have been hugely influential. Certainly, they made a lasting impression on Jamal Moss, who earlier this year decided to record a bunch of tracks inspired by Heard’s infamous blend of rugged drum machine rhythms, twisted acid lines, and heart-aching deep house touches. 4 This Is My Gherkin Life Volume 3 continues where installments one and two left off, delivering eight more killer machine jams which temper Moss’s usual balls-out approach to Chicagoan acid with a few melancholic, melodious touches. The result is another impressive set of analogue box jams, from the bass-heavy bounce of the intoxicating “Track 8”, to the spacey electronics and Detroit drums of “Track 5”.

None of the Above aka N/O/T/A is an escape from reality plan. Made in between London and Toronto, it joins Dinamo Azari (AZARI & III) and Mixhell’s Laima Leyton and Iggor Cavalera (SEPULTURA). Eager to collaborate and make music in a non compromised way, the trio brought together live and electronic drum beats, strong bass lines, unexpected samples and dark synths to an unknown place. It is none of the genres we are listening to nowadays but it still brings together a live feeling of techno, industrial and acid.

I.B.M. – From The Land Of Rape & Honey (The Suppressed Tapes ) 1995-2005 [IT035]

October 12, 2015April 24, 2024 hipodromeacid, album, chicago, experimental, i.b.m., industrial, insane black man, interdimensional transmissions, jamal mossLeave a comment

Jamal Moss (aka I.B.M. – Insane Black Man) is a lost warrior of sonic truth. Digging through shoe boxes of cassettes, video tapes, and mini discs, we have collected the secret tapes of one Insane Black Man. This is an archive of the impetus of his genius, containing perhaps the holy grail of all Jamal Moss tunes The Land of Rape and Honey and Tribal Retribution. Artists on labels like LIES are still searching for these originals. We have taken them from their dusty and damaged condition and painfully & meticulously restored them. Now we can present these fragile raw and pure visions with the greatest level of quality. Finally the full impact of these ideas can be felt.

VA – World Of Rubber 1 [RUBBER001]

October 12, 2015September 13, 2022 hipodrome0.5w, acid, alessandro adriani, reverend cor gout, rubber records, salo mentale, techno, unit moebiusLeave a comment

Rubber is a new label from The Hague with a motley mixture of off-radar electronix for both the experimental clubber and home listener. Rubber001 is a bold three-tracker. Mannequin Records head-honcho Alessandro Adriani hits the nail on the head with his secret weapons. Secondly, reigning from Finland, 0.5W pans across the room like running with titanium scissors. The cherry on top is this piece of Dutch drum-laden ”poetry”, probably on illegal medication, about a bicycle mechanic from The Hague by legends Unit Moebius, Reverend Cor Gout and Salo Mentale.

Vactrol Park – I [ESP026A]

October 9, 2015August 5, 2025 hipodromeacid, electro, esp institute, guido zen, kyle martin, techno, vactrol parkLeave a comment

Vactrol Park is an honest outpouring of thematic obsession, a celebration of championed studio components and the mastery of their nuance, an avant garde collaboration between Kyle Martin (Land of Light, Spectral Empire) and Guido Zen (Gamers in Exile, Brain Machine). Simply entitled “I” (the first of a 2 part series), this debut EP opens the door to a world of ebb and flow, layers of oscillation falling in and out of sync, keeping us on the brink of vertigo and, as cliché as it may sound, we find solace in its chaos. This homogeneous release plays with the notions of systems as beautifully symbolized Mario Hugo’s capsule of cardiology—yet another visually arresting module in the ESP Institute catalogue.

New Flesh Records presents the return of infamous Umwelt delivering another collectible output on his own electro label. Much anticipated “When Future And Past Collapse” combines firing snares with rolling 808 kicks, acid lines, sub-bass and driving futuristic melodies, all packed in this sophisticated EP. Umwelt’s aesthetics and dystopian vision has never been so dazzling. Expect nothing but depths, terrific tales, and authentic secrets about the origins of mankind in this must have five-tracker.

M//R aka Billy Werner is back with a strong bundle of four tracks, steadily making his mark on the scene of contemporary techno. This record is a proper electronic weapon, from the slowed down pounding impulse of total burner ‘No Tag No Food’ to the suspended rhythm of atmospheric ‘Idyll’ which brings the listener into a gravity-free dimension.

Andreas Gehm – Cosmic Interrail Vol.1 [SBOX001]

September 29, 2015November 2, 2022 hipodromeacid, andreas gehm, house, schrodinger’s box, technoLeave a comment

Who better to inaugurate your label than Andreas Gehm? Simple, no-one. Glasgow’s Schrodinger’s Cat is sinking claws and teeth into vinyl with five tracks of blistering TB303 goodness from the Cologne man. Mr Gehm is in fine form as he serves up a quintet of very different cuts. From the warbling wonderment of “Blind Eyes” to squawking darkness of “Jak the Floor”, this EP shows how talented this machine musician is. “Can You Hear Me Girl” is jilted lover, stalker house; beady eyes peering into misted windows material. The Elec Pt 1 hood is donned for the dirtiest track of the 12″. Grimy claps are further polluted by bending acid lines in a work overflowing with violence. Out of the leftfield comes the finale. “Systems Go” throbs with rumbling rhythms, a bleeped melody keeping time as drum machines overheat and circuitry melts.

NYC synth maestro Gavin Russom continues on with his recent streak of killer techno releases, this time, surprisingly, for peak time specialists Curle. Punisher” is dark, tunnelling and hypnotic business, perfect for the 6AM comfort zone. “All Souls (NYC Mix)” uses sinister droning atmospherics and infectious syncopations, but just wait ’til that warbling melody comes in. Finally we’ve got “Thrashing Truth” which doesn’t leave much to the imagination; with its no nonsense EBM bassline and harsh industrial rhythms.
