Kilner – Walk Type [AVN027]

Kilner aka Blawan with a new double EP for Avian. Jamie Roberts is no stranger to the more experimental tenets of the Techno genre, and much of the British artist’s output of late has hinted at more leftfield leanings. It’s this same willingness to break down perceptions regarding his own music that marks Walk Type – Roberts’ debut on the Avian label, as a notable chapter in the artist’s discography. In terms of aesthetic finish, AVN027 might be Roberts’ most comprehensive and well articulated ode to the culture of machine music – but it’s also his most organic offering. Corroded drones provide the basis for much of the material, pitching & bending at will – shifting & warping in and amongst furtive drum work, that by and large sits uncharacteristically deep in the mix.

Cassegrain – ARCS-02 [ARCS002]

The second release on Arcing Seas by label heads Cassegrain. This new material presents the duo’s very individual approach to tonality within the techno framework, combined with a subtle tribal influ-ence. Maintaining their aim, they keep things exciting for the club as well as sonically. Label info: Arcing Seas is an anagram of Cassegrain. It started out as a secret alias, releasing a couple EPs on Our Circula Sound. The secret was less well kept after the duo appeared at Berghain under this name. A year later, after deciding to start a label, it finally made sense to bring the two together.

VA – T.R.U. Halloween EP [TRUHWN001]

TX Connect’s Gavin Guthrie is a horror soundtrack enthusiast and regularly DJs gigs with that premise. So it’s no surprise that he’d produce an EP that implements these themes. The T.R.U. Halloween EP is a special edition EP that collects and compiles 5 tracks from Gavin’s inner circle that range from 80’s era horror soundtrack chase scene music to dark techno. With the recent surgence of Survive and Stranger Things, this EP fits right in the pocket and is slated for a Halloween 2016 release.

Savage Grounds – Atrocities [LXRC30]

Savage Grounds return to Lux Rec for the third time, with their third record. Atrocities comes after Unpleasant Music for Unpleasant People, released in 2015, and Over Fences, 2014. It is, as much as the previous 2, the result of investigations in music, live, composed with a minimum amount of instruments. The duo, comprised of CCO and Daniele Cosmo, worked with a Roland 606, a Roland 909 and a modular synthesiser. Experimenting with FM modulation and loose sequences. The result is concrete noise, anger, ghostly voices, and above all, the sheer conscience of human failures. Atrocities marks number 30 in the Lux Rec catalogue.
