Alpenmarmot – Unheimliche Landschaftsgestaltung (translates as ‘eerie landscaping’) is my new power electronics industrial acid ambient noise project, Recorded at 1500 meters above sea level on the slopes of the Wildhorn mountain in Switzerland.

We hear mangled rusty cable cars, crumbling mountains, unknown nocturnal creatures and ofcourse the ever so cute Alpen Marmot.

Jerome Hill – Crude Appraisal EP [SRTX040]
Jerome Hill returns with his 5th full EP on the label to warm you up for winter and it’s maybe stylistically, his widest offering yet. A joyous mash of influences collide and Hill spits them out of the blender with some typically unexpected curveballs. From the strikingly moody break beat acid of The Warning, to the 8 minute long extended Disco workout of ‘Harlseden Shuffle’. Then on the flip side, a reliably gnarly wedge of Technoey Acid House in ‘Combustion Zone’ and the EP culminates with a tip of the hat to mid nineties House with the rumbling bass and catchy percussion of ‘House Thing’.

Happy707 – Escupir Un Burgues [SBOX020]
Happy707 have their vinyl debut, and it is well worth the wait. For years the Buenos Aires pair have been electrifying dancefloors far and wide, now their brand of electronics is set to infect even more speaker cones. With a unique style that meshes ebm, industrial, techno and wave, ‘Escupir Un Burgues’ is an addictive furore for the senses. From the energy packed “Cyber Chase”, the listener is pulled through the fog and the strobe of “El Extranjero” and into the headfirst thump of “Las Bolas.” Distant vocals and stuttering percussion are pivotal in the stripped bare title piece. Stammering synthlines and shattering snares rail and rage in the bold body music of “Magic Wave.” The curtain fall comes care of “Ultraman Theme.” Beats are emboldened, tempos race in this tongue in cheek slalom of laser beam melodies and videogames memories.

Sound Synthesis, Acidulant and RAIM perform their best Electro Acid tracks on the second Zodiak Commune ‘The Electro Guilde’ release. RAIM is a collaboration between Sound Synthesis and Acidulant.

Well known in underground circles for an impressive live PA, Tom delivery 9-tracks (recorded live) where he deploys his entire arsenal of analog synths. ‘Bloom’ immerses us in a 303-powered world, crunchy machine drums with big emotive melodies, rushing piano motifs and swirling chords.

Metropolis – No Reason EP [DS-05]
Artefakt’s De Stijl imprint presents a new EP by Metropolis. Metropolis, an alias of Nick Lapien—half of Artefakt. With his “No Reason” EP he reboots this guise and presents an unpolished and rough take of his wide techno repertoire. The A-Side includes two smokey warehouse-proof acidic techno jams, where title track No Reason on the B-Side leans more towards an off-beat EBM affair with vocals by Thuraya Shi. To round it off, Artefakt production partner Robin Koek delivers an immersive remix as Cyspe.
VA – Blue Binary Code EP [GO008]
Gladio Operations presents its eighth release titled “Blue Binary Code”, an EP that returns to the various artists format and is accompanied by relevant names from the electro scene; Boris Divider, Igors Vorobjovs, Lectromagnetique, Francois Dillinger and CH415 aka Chris Morgan.
Dj Nephil – Horizon Rising [KRI004]
The fourth chapter of the Kri discography was conceived in the cold northern parts of Europe by a well-seasoned electro producer and Gravitational Waves label owner, Dj Nephil. Sharp electro-minimalism on the Horizon Rising EP is ranging from hypnotic and subtle to a punkish kick in the arse. Lush textures, bitter-sweet acid, and thick bass lines are looking past trends to create a lasting record. Adding extra weight to this polar electro voyage are remixes by two among our favorite producers, Alonzo and Univac.
