VA – 10 Years of Gravitational Wawes [GRTW019]
Berlin, 2014 — Dj Nephil sparks the label. A few breaks, some chaos… but guess what? We’re still here.
To mark the decade we drop a 25-artist compilation — no genres, no borders, no bullshit. Just raw energy and noise tearing through the system.
This compilation is not just a release — it’s proof that the underground never dies.
We do this for the music and for the love that keeps us all connected.
Stay wild. Stay free. With love from Gravitational Waves.

Mule Driver – Past Hits Back [GRTW018]
Gravitational Waves proudly welcomes Mule Driver for a special 808 Day release – celebrating the iconic Roland drum machine that changed electronic music forever. Now based in the Netherlands, Mule Driver is the head of Confuse Machine Records, known for his raw, hardware-driven sound. The tracks on this release were originally produced between 2016 and 2017, capturing a pure, unfiltered energy from his archives. Revived and re-contextualized, they carry the spirit of the 808 in its most rugged and rebellious form. Mule Driver is thrilled to join the Gravitational Waves family for this powerful sonic tribute. All tracks were recorded around 2016-17. The release closes with an excellent edit by GW head DJ Nephil.
VA – Pride Or Die [DDC08]
“Pride Or Die is our next fundraiser compilation released in solidarity with Budapest Pride.
In March 2025 the Hungarian Parliament rewrote the country’s assembly law, tightening the rules for all public demonstrations — but with wording clearly aimed at shutting down Pride. The amendment threatens marchers and organisers with fines of up to €500 and lets police deploy facial‑recognition systems. It follows a 2020 ban on legal gender recognition and the 2021 law censoring LGBTQ+ content for minors.
Meanwhile, the government continues to target civil organisations more broadly, signalling an even darker outlook for the future of democratic rights and community spaces in Hungary.
To answer this attack on basic civil and queer rights, Dalmata Daniel teamed up with 34 artists from Hungary and across the globe to contribute exclusive tracks. The result is a diverse, powerful collection that channels solidarity, resistance, and care through sound.
All proceeds will be donated to the Budapest Pride Foundation (Szivárvány Misszió Alapítvány)

Mule Driver – Trilobite / …And I Was There Too [CM26]
The term “Ides of March” refers to March 15th since the troubled days of the Roman Empire.

Once you hear their lethal drop of electro-acid you can kiss the Roman empire goodbye – Mule Driver delivers the Roland Empire!

The artists—Filmmaker, Hanniball III, DJ Nephil, Mule Driver, Porosty, and DJ Sigils—bring their uncompromising vision to the forefront, creating a soundscape that rejects mainstream conventions. This record isn’t shaped by market trends or hype; it’s a pure expression of underground artistry, designed to break boundaries and let creativity flow untethered. With each track, the listener is invited into a world where the unexpected thrives, and where the only rule is to push the limits of sound.

“These are challenging times in the middle east. As the situation in Gaza gets worst daily, we are committed to doing what we can to end this conflict, and provide aid to the residents of Gaza, as well as all Palestinians in the west bank.
All proceeds from Confused Machines’ digital sales will go directly to Physicians For Human Rights – Israel (PHRI) www.phr.org.il, which continues its medical work and humanitarian aid in the West Bank despite the difficult circumstances.
Since October 2023, PHRI has doubled its activity in the West Bank and is sending two weekly mobile clinic visits to help communities that are cut off from medical treatment due to the severe wave of settler and military violence, movement restrictions, and the financial crisis in the West Bank.
PHRI is currently unable to operate in Gaza due to restrictions by the Israeli authorities, and have been barred from delivering aid to the strip. PHRI is constantly working to resume these activities and will do so as soon as the circumstances allow.
We urge for an immediate ceasefire, the return of all hostages, and a peaceful future for all inhabitants of this troubled land.”

Mule Driver – Muladona
Mule Driver is a Tel Aviv based producer, sound artist, musician and DJ, Founder and Owner of Confused Machines label, bass player in the renounced industrial-punk band Mujahideen, and half of the library music duo Group Modular. Mule Driver’s music is a dark tribute to the sound of classic analogue machines and acid-house aesthetics, wrapped up in a unique live delivery.
“I’ve recently recorded a new project called Muladona, named after a book by the same name, about a cursed woman who turned into the devil’s mule. I started recording at the peak of the COVID pandemic here in israel, and wanted to convey the tense atmosphere of the book and of the times. In this project I’ve worked with less gear, and focused more on textures, to create an eerie, haunted and somewhat distorted sound. Every night, the Muladona, a doomed soul transformed into the Devil’s mule, visits Verge and forces him to listen to a horrific tale. Each night, as Verge huddles under his bed sheets, the monster’s supernatural tales tear his soul apart.”

Mule Driver – Blood Flowers [CM017]
“Blood flowers” is a heavy duty 4 tracker for the freaks. Electro, dungeon techno, slinky acid and tribal excursion – properly damaged party starters for lowlight dreams and nightmares. Over the last 10 years, Mule Driver has been making special 808 day releases. This latest set is his most convincing effort to date, jumping from idea to idea but retaining a solid guideline of sci-fi weirdness and collapsing body movements.
