Exhausted Modern & Aliver – Hoax EP [ENDILLW002]
Having worked together as “Thrinax” in the past, Prague’s duo Exhausted Modern & Aliver collected their solo material for Endless Illusion’s second white label series. Their complimentary sonic languages speak in slow, percussive rhythms, sadistic, industrial sounds, and uptight bass lines transmitted through a chain of pedal effects. The track “Project Germs – Cuatone” is another one of Aliver’s collaborations.

Violence – Le Flux de la Nature [EE022RTM]
Arcane electronic duo Violence, from Quebec, Canada, show their dark side on the four track 10-inch Le Flux de la Nature. Their underground spirit of new wave, French vocals, opaque and sometimes disturbing electronics reflect the complex rhythm of nature and intense human relationships.
Violent Quand On Aime – Violent Quand On Aime [KH015]
Coming from different regions in France, Violent Quand On Aime’s members have joined forces to canalize their energies into something truly essential. Far away from hype and expectation they have created their own peculiar world. Expect a certain electronic griminess with hints of 90’s hiphop, postpunk alienation and an affinity for Musique Concrète. The overall experience is similar to the excitement one feels when hearing something genuinely original. This mini-album is the follow-up to their very impressive 7” on Le Syndicat Des Scorpions.
Pasiphae – Siphax EP [AD003]
To kick-start Artificial Dance’s 2018 release programme, the label has once again delved deep into the darkest corners of the Dutch electronic underground. The result is a debut solo EP from another future hero, Hague-based Pasiphae. Born in Greece, Pasiphae took up DJing and music production when she moved to the Netherlands five years ago. The Siphax EP is her first solo outing. Packed with mutant alien funk (the superb title track), horror-fired dancefloor dystopia (throbbing opener Tachynons’) and skewed electronic soundscapes ( Vertical Rotation’, which sounds like it could have been taken from the soundtrack of an early ’80s art-house movie), the six tracks offer a neat summary of Pasiphae’s unique musical world. Check out, in particular, the two-part murkiness and late night hum of ‘Quelque Chose De Mauvais’ and ‘Quelque Chose De Mal’, which are creepy and clandestine in equal measure. If that’s not enough to set the pulse racing, turn your attention to EP closer Hedera’, a beat-less but rhythmic romp through muggy, psychedelic pastures.

The new episode on the Discos del Quebranto series, now under the brokntoys mantle, presents 2 different angles of mutant electronics. On the A side, Dutch producer Identified Patient showcases his discombulated style, slow-motion burners stained in acid. On the flip, Nurse owner Scarlit Port makes his first appearance on vinyl with the deranged Marg , before going all in with Touch U Without Touchin Ur Skin.
Kontravoid – Undone [F//008]
One can imagine, listening to Kontravoid’s latest release, an alternate reality in which the cold-war played out to the background of drum machines and spectrographs, sinister audio technology manipulating a hidden frequency of the world’s unfoldings. Cameron Findlay returns to his masked alias for the first Kontravoid release since his debut self-titled album, years in the studio reap their rewards as the production on ‘Undone’ effortlessly cuts its way through hypnotic dance floor compositions.
S S S S – Systematic Suspense [LXRC33]
LXRC33 is the second installment of the Unsung and Defeated series. Music comes from S S S S, another local act, based in Lucerne. Five industrial cinematic soundscapes, eerie noises building alarmed state of minds. From most subtle to crushing and pounding. A systematic suspense that transforms itself into a systematic destruction.
