3​.​14 – Driven by Guilt (Archives 2016​-​2021, Part II) [SOTA065]

Greek-born DJ and producer Alex π is the founder of Pi Electronics label and event series, as well as co-founder of record label Modal Analysis. In the post pandemic era, he releases his archive of productions from the years 2016 – 2021 : a blend of Techno/EBM influences, with processed vocals and noisy textures, in a ’song’ like structure. Aiming to crossover the 80s aesthetic to a techno type of production using machines of the ’10s, the concept here is to avoid the sounding of a tool track while still staying within the boarders of dance-floor minded music. The archives will be released in two instalments: Part I on Tripalium Corp and Part II on Soil records.

Spammerheads – Tar Blood / Cement Skin [SOIL18]

Spammerheads: This is definitely our most personal work to date. During the previous works we experimented to find our sound and in this work we have found it. It is a raw sound, which seeks to reproduce the sounds of the factories in the suburbs, among which we lived when we were children. The sound of the Great Machine of Industry at full capacity. The album conveys that strange energy of today’s big cities, shrouded in smog, pollution and decay.
