Svengalisghost – Vicious Circle [LIES022]

May 8, 2013February 28, 2020 hipodromehouse, industrial, l.i.e.s., long island electrical systems, marquis cooper, svengalisghost, technoLeave a comment

After emerging from years of seclusion below the Chicago underground last year, Marquis Cooper aka Svengalisghost, returns with all new material recorded this winter somewhere between the woods of North Carolina and the streets of NYC. An advocate in creating what he calls the “Anti-Beat”, Cooper takes what he’s learned from the traditional machine experimentation of the early pioneers, reconstructs and retransmits the sounds which lie somewhere in the realm of unhinged synth punk or industrial forward-thinking beat electronics. These tracks are truly the essence of house, and a vicious circle it is.

Steve Summers – The Outermaze [LIES023]

April 11, 2013April 10, 2013 hipodromechicago house, l.i.e.s., long island electrical systems, steve summersLeave a comment

Man of many identities, Steve Summers comes back out of the gate with his strongest and most dynamically engaging material. Twisting the formulaic pattens of modern electronics and finding the gray area where melody meets noise, where noise subsides to jacking arpeggeations, eventually pushing the tracks forward and opening them up. Through the chaos of the music there remains an enjoyable balance which effectively works wonders in a club setting.

Florian Kupfer – Florian Kupfer [LIES014.5]

March 25, 2013June 23, 2025 hipodromeelectro, florian kupfer, house, l.i.e.s., long island electrical systemsLeave a comment

Debut release by new artist Florian Kupfer. On this four song 12 inch we’re taken through a wild journey of a man and the story of his machines. Very emotional and human feeling, these lovingly saturated tracks move through the worlds of techno and house in subtle, unassuming fashion though totally distinct in their own right as each song possesses its own personality regardless of the man/machine relation.

Terekke – Yyyyyyyyyy [LIES021]

March 8, 2013March 7, 2013 hipodromehouse, l.i.e.s., long island electrical systems, techno, terekkeLeave a comment

Narrative, breathing, basement house with subtle morphing chords, heavy tape hiss, and an undeniable character that has been lost in much dance music. Again this record will be equally satisfying for home listening or calculated club play. Record comes complete with beautiful full color cardboard cover of some outerspace shit for you to zone out to while listening to the record, a bonus to say the least.

L.I.E.S.-BLK sublabel with two crazy twisted tracks from U-202.

Cover art - Samo DJ: Tai Po Kau

More twisted dome-wreckers from Samo again surfacing on the L.I.E.S.-BLK sublabel. One track throws down a Latin vibe somewhat in keeping with his first effort for the label, while the other two deploy sample-heavy, smoked-out production over slamming bass for something that goes a bit outside of the norm.

Vereker – EP 2 [LIES020]

February 16, 2013March 4, 2026 hipodromehouse, l.i.e.s., long island electrical systems, oliver vereker, techno, verekerLeave a comment

Second EP from Vereker picks up right where the last one left off starting with the track Fear Eats the Soul which somehow reminds us of Nitzer Ebb meets techno meets your face in a meat grinder. Chock full of paranoia, deceit, and all things bad that happen that you wish never would, the remainder of the ep continues on in a bleak and unforgiving manner painting
a grim picture of the decaying present and lost future. Heavy music for the dark hours.

Vereker – EP 1 [LIES019]

Originally from the UK, now San Francisco based artist Oliver Vereker makes an amazingly strong vinyl debut with three crushingly tense and off-kilter techno tracks. All three tracks contained within are designed to rip the listener apart like a sickened animal on the loose.

VARIOUS - LIES Presents American Noise Volume One

After two years of existence, New York’s L.I.E.S. Records has transformed itself from a bedroom label into one of the more interesting and diverse labels in the world of modern underground electronic music. Disc one, of this double cd compiles and documents some of the labels early moments showcasing out of print tracks by Legowelt, Terekke, Steve Moore, Two Dogs in a House, and Bookworms to name a few, showcasing the broad yet cohesive spectrum of styles the label has worked within. The second disc is comprised of almost all new and unreleased material from the labels current pool of talent, with tracks by the likes of newcomer Delroy Edwards, Mutant Beat Dance’s Beau Wanzer, cult figure Terekke, early label contributor Marcos Cabral and more. Through and through this compilation captures where the label has been and where it is going in the future.

Three track vinyl sampler EP from the upcoming L.I.E.S. “American Noise” 2xcd compilation. This sampler expands upon three completely styles reflective of the diverse L.I.E.S. catalog to date. Torn Hawk pulverizing the entire a-side with his most unclassifiable material to date, Marcos Cabral returning to the label with a sinister 110 BPM techno track, and Delroy Edwards doing a blown-out Barney’s workout.

Two Dogs In A House – Eliminator EP [LIES016]

September 27, 2012September 7, 2020 hipodromeelectronics, l.i.e.s., long island electrical systems, ron morelli, steve summers, two dogs in a houseLeave a comment

Two Dogs in a House, aka Steve Summers & Ron Morelli, took to a secluded studio in Stockholm Sweden during spring 2012 to record while on the road. Here we have the result of uninhibited access to machines with no time constraints and no distractions from the outside world. This freedom allowed the duo to expand upon their ideas of deconstructing conventional song structure and harnessing the power of what immediately surrounded them in the moment. Two full side tracks that will absolutely crush and/or isolate anyone who crosses through the sonic pathway of them. Perfect sounds for the apocalyptic world we live in.

Delroy Edwards – 4 Club Use Only EP [LIES015]

September 21, 2012May 25, 2018 hipodromeacid, chicago house, delroy edwards, l.i.e.s., long island electrical systemsLeave a comment

Delroy Edwards steps up with his debut release for L.I.E.S. Musically Edwards takes his influences from that Barney’s Ghetto sound with oversaturated 909 shuffling highs, DX bells, 101 filters and ends up making fresh, and yes, melodic ghetto style tracks that somehow get stuck in your head even without vocals. A unique take on a modern classic with the dancefloor in mind.
