Ron Morelli – Disappearer [HOS606]

Ron Morelli has put together a 13 track album for his returning release on the American based label, Hospital Productions. The album digs deep into the punk roots of the L.I.E.S. boss as he touches upon everything from raw industrial techno to mind-bending electronics and sinisterly cold ambience. This is one not for the faint-hearted, get a little taste below. “Composed over the last two years in various foul states, the album is a fusion of base level hardware programming, open room mic recordings and extensive computer processing, all finalized in the Paris studio of Krikor Kouchian.”

VA – Eel Behaviour: Conger [EAR020]

To celebrate reaching our 20th release, we’re launching a series of 6 compilation EPs named ‘Eel Behaviour’. Starting with a bang through the haunting mechanical acid of Delta Funktionen’s ‘Alternate Reality’, it’s followed by the uplifting broken techno of ‘Flesh’ from exciting new London-based talent Imogen. Autumns enters a more tense area with the slow and dense EBM-flavoured ‘Recovery’ while a barrage of weird, vocal-infused beats from Bristol’s Giant Swan, brings the record to a chaotic end on ‘The Sun Inside Jaden Smith’.
