Terror Feedback Industry – Interceptor EP [VCS001]
Vernacular is all about loyalty and machines. The cycles of influences and ideals converge to a specific creative bulk. And so from Whole emerges Few, interlinking, telling its story. Stories that are all about dance and dreams need a common core. Vernacular Collective Sequence inks these and spreads them into the wastelands of club-music enthusiasm. The first VCS release features Terror Feedback Industry, with four tracks of apocalyptic dance music, shaping visions of galactic raves, hi-speed travel and dumbass roommates
Randstad – Stranded [PNKMN029]
Following up on his contribution to the first Five Years Of Tears compilation, Randstad steps up to the bill and delivers his first solo release for Pinkman Records. Six tracks ranging from twisted industrialized beat trax to brain melting weirdo dance. A great cross-over record for adventurous DJs and fans of the cold, minimal DIY sound of the 80s alike.
Daniel Holt – Untitled [LIES130]
One half of the group Vault, Daniel Holt makes his solo 12 inch debut on L.I.E.S. with a killer three tracker. Holt immediately locks in on the a-side with the massive 11:00 minute electro-wave groover ”Demonic City”, think heavy fm synth bass, graveyard strings, and Alesis drum machines all coming together creating a sullen and hypnotic gothic-funk cut, yes that’s right, gothic funk (you heard it right). Turn to the b-side for two more wave style jams, top production on both…exploring the realms of downbeat electronics throughout. Huge debut by this up and coming American artist.
Kovyazin D – Minimal Funk EP [DMX08]
Domina Trxxx welcomes Kovyazin D to the Family. The young and talented man from Russia already released on well known imprints like Chiwax and M>O>S Recordings. The Minimal Funk EP is a puperb electro record.
St. Theodore – Last Dance [CDR009]
St Theodore presents his brand-new EP “Last Dance” on Clasicos Del Ruido. This is a slow, true immersion in cold and even sometimes frightening work. Minimalistic basslines, cold synthesizers, simplicity and accuracy of compositions cause aesthetic delight. The classical TB-303 sound takes to memories of raves in the buildings of former factories, where you always feel very far from reality.

UNIVAC – Chernobyl Tracks [MST040]
Electro and atomic sequences from hell, dark future baselines. Psych energic rave and tunnel acid from 1986. Four tracks, 1 system from the underground city of Barcelona. Half the amount of drugs in the world got consumed here.
Thee J Johanz – Extraterrestrial Interventions [BALL109]
Pumping West Coast electro in a new jacket, with bouncing 808’s, driving acid, and old school futuristic vocoders. Justin Cudmore (Bunker NY) is taking it to a darker space in his more abstract and highly effective remix.
Cardinal & Nun – Cardinal & Nun [LIES132]
Cardinal & Nun from Marseille delivers his debut EP for L.I.E.S. with a four track no holds barred synth punk assault. Injecting energy into the dead, channeling chaos and turmoil into his music, he rips through four tracks with a rough yet somehow elegant approach…raw to the bone yet flawlessly arranged. Synths that sound like guitars, guitars that sound like synths, metallic drum machines with a human touch and deranged vocals fuel this record til the end. Think Screamers meet Chrome meet Liasions with a healthy dose of southern California gutter punks on meth and you’re in the right place.
TV.OUT – TV.OUT [LIES131]
Hard hitting duo TV.OUT return to L.I.E.S. with their 2nd EP for the label. Clocking in with four tracks, these guys move with ease from classic Frankfurt style New Beat to teeth grindin, lower bpm EBM and Hague style electro, all tracks suited for the club. Head right to the opener XTC for an immediate 8 minute expansive modern day lesson in dancefloor drama- strings and claps perfectly placed as the bassline drives you insane. Fast forward to ”Black Out” for a slower paced harder hitting beating, air raid sirens scream as the metalworks clang on. TV.OUT at the top of their game with this one.
Larionov & St Theodore – Bleak Warfare [RET006]
Cold and sinister combat electro by Russian pourvoyeurs Larionov & St Theodore. Infectious analogue rhythms emerged deep down the hearts of these young souls. The Bleak Warfare EP presents five cuts with each their own desire for the dancefloors.
De Bons en Pierre – EP No. 1 / 2 [DE236/DE237]
Dark Entries presents two new EPs from De Bons en Pierre, the duo of Beau Wanzer & Maoupa Mazzocchetti. Beau Wanzer spends the majority of his days sifting through paraffin embedded animal tissues and reading old issues of Fangoria, occasionally breaking his monotonous routine to record in various fits and bursts. As well as solo material, he is also in numerous projects including Streetwalker, Mutant Beat Dance, Civil Duty, and Corporate Park. Maoupa Mazzocchetti is the pseudonym of Florent Mazzocchetti, a French producer based in Brussels. His sonic vision is one which constantly straddles the line between wild experimentation and rhythmic compatibility, drawing influence from early concrète, 80’s tape scene and Birmingham school techno. After working together on the ‘Crepes’ EP that we released in 2017, De Bons en Pierre reunited for a two day recording session in Brussels. The duo recorded 13 tracks that we’ve split across 2 EPs with 6 tracks on ‘EP No. 1’ and 7 tracks on ‘EP No. 2’. Beau says, “We hooked everything up and just pushed play. We didn’t really discuss much about the process….it was very ‘spur of the moment’.” The equipment set up included a Roland TR-808, TR-606, SH-101, CR-78, CR-8000, two Syncussions and effects. Each EP contains 25 minutes of dance floor perversions that tackle an array of rhythmic forms. Sludgy synths, serrated percussion and viscous distortion goops over leviathan rhythms.
Beta Evers – Transient [SGX004]
Beta Evers returns to Sonic Groove Experiments with another re-issue of one of her classics from the late aught decade. Three cuts of seductive vocal-charged post-punk, wave / body music.
Colophon – State Vector EP [LWRC004]

Jensen Interceptor – WOD008 [WOD008]
Jensen Interceptor, doing what he is very reknown for, delivers a fierce electro jam and Tim Fairplay conjurs up a tremendously intense remix to seal this release pressed on limited edition, hand stamped & numbered one-sided black vinyl housed in a white disco bag with a printed insert info sheet.
Ghetto GEM – Riots EP [DYFR009]
After their collaboration in Panzerkreuz Records with Black Sites (F#x & Helena Hauff), the guys from Ghetto GEM did a series of small live performances in the The Hague squat scene. Places like Dystopia, Maakhaven and Syndicaat. Performances that took place during the Schilderswijk riots which delivered some slow and menacing tracks. Some of the recordings where found and six of these tracks can be found on this mini tape album.
