Mule Driver – Stone Pine Nut / When Does the Everyday Become History? [CM28]
Mule Driver returns with his yearly 303 Day ritual release – a tradition dropped in acid. Leading the charge is “Stone Pine Nut”, an unfiltered acid banger recorded live, capturing the raw voltage and untamed pressure of his performances. No polish, no safety net, just the pure, driving force pushed to its limits. It’s sweat, pulse, and machine energy locked in the moment. Alongside it, “When Does the Everyday Become History” shifts the perspective inward. A contemplative 303 vamp circling themes of inner gaze and suspended time, it stretches and breathes while never losing its grip on the floor. Hypnotic, restrained, yet fully capable of holding dancers in its spell. Two movements within the same frequency – instinct and introspection.

Asymetric80 – Frenetic Habits EP [INDMEK-011]
Asymetric80 lands at Industrias Mekanikas with an unapologetic statement: a direct immersion into the aesthetics of collapse and extreme habits. The work places you in the center of a post-apocalyptic scenario, where survival no longer relies on calm, but on your ability to endure mechanical tension. The sound is built upon solidity and saturation. You won’t find fragility here, but rather an architecture of EBM, New Beat, and Industrial Techno designed to dominate any sound system that dares to play it.
