James Ruskin – From The Ashes [TOKEN116]

Offering a three track EP on Token, emblematic UK producer James Ruskin proves his capability and linear focus once again through ”From the Ashes”, bringing a dosed dissonance between the qualities of vintage techno and today’s capabilities and arrangement. Looking past trends to create a lasting record rich in texture and thick with impact, the project affirms what the scene has already known to be true about his work for the past 25 years.

Baz Reznik – Acid Recovery [NYH324]

Long time producer and DJ, Baz Reznik is back at New York Haunted with some heavy acid stompers. Baz has been around since the beginning of the Bunker days and has been down with the true underground from day one. Running his own DYFR records and dropping magic on Syncom Data, Bunker Records and of course New York Haunted, you know what to expect here: Tough west coast acid for the masses. Whipping you into shape with that 6 in the morning illegal squat party vibe. Hardware booming in the red, compressors malfunctioning and all that good stuff. Check out this blistering EP that will not disappoint the true heads.

De-Bons-en-Pierre – Card Short of a Full Deck [DE301]

Dark Entries’ resident scuzzmasters De-Bons-en-Pierre return with the “Card Short of a Full Deck” EP, featuring six tracks of their signature sludge. In 2016, Beau Wanzer and Maoupa Mazzocchetti fused forces in order to infect the world with their mutant analog strain, a noxious hybrid of 80’s DIY cassette electronics and 90’s Birmingham techno. Card Short of a Full Deck follows 2017’s Crepes EP and 2019’s EP No. 1 and EP No. 2, all released via Dark Entries. Their latest salvo features six tracks composed for a live performance in 2019. While a damaged sense of whimsy has pervaded their previous work, Card Short sees the duo ramping up the absurdity to obscene levels. Skittering rhythms dance over ghoulish basslines and haunting, rave-evocative chords on cuts “Le Râle du Mâle Alpha” and “Puddle Points”. Elsewhere, like on “Card Short of a Full Deck” and “Accidental Surgeries”, contorted vocals battle careening synths amidst post-apocalyptic waste.

Konduku – Hayal EP [BITTA012]

Konduku makes his first appearance on DJ Nobu’s label Bitta, presenting four highly energetic, deep hypnotic cuts. It’s the perfect collision between their characteristic practices. Konduku’s two immersive techno works, in the form of ‘Hayal’ and the atmospheric ‘Yakamoz’, compliment Nobu’s powerful and uplifting mountain-valley sound. Balancing out the EP are two proper mind-benders: ‘Damla’ perfectly represents Konduku’s take on twirling half-tempo rhythms and ‘Zifir’ is a freaky heavy-hitter in the low sub territories.

CEM3340 – Macchine LP [CRTSX010]

Curtis Electronix reaches its 10th drop presenting the second album from his owner and founder CEM3340, “Macchine”. The double 12” draws together 8 new tracks all made and recorded using only hardware. Spanning from pumped up machine-led cyber-funk beats, to darting powerful techno out-kilters, but always maintaining a stable focus on CEM3340 personal signature, it explores those ravines where techno and electro collide. ”Macchine” is pure dedication to the machines. With no compromise.

Periferico – Red Line [USR025]

‘Red Line’ is a collection of four archival tracks by Periferico, a lesser-known alias of Italian producer Livio Fogli, noted for his activity in the 90s electronic music scene. Lovingly rescued from DAT and now released by Undersound, this is organically lo-fi acid trance to a T, blending charmingly undermixed elements with chimey progressions and tittilating builds.

Pluto Junkies – Contact [MIN305]

Following their 2021 debut on Mindri, Ernestas Sadau, Rapha & PRZ return to the Pinkman fold as Pluto Junkies with a 7 track mini-LP recorded at the furthest reaches of the solar system. After the swirling synths and cryptic messages on opener Launch, the record quickly descends into a frenzied supernova of metallic synths and propulsive drums. From the twitching Italo-informed techno of Astronaut Dolphine Detective to the frenetic speedball electro in Black Eye Galaxy Battle, this collection of hardware jams is straight up sonic fuel for sweat-drenched hours at wide eyed raves right around the galaxy. With the snarling acid riffs on Captain Blade and the punishing pulse in Cosmo Scooter Race, Pluto Junkies continue to ride the wave of manic energy from their first release, providing further soundtracks for only the most serious space travellers.

Filmmaker – Code Breakers [DISI002]

Colombian producer Faunes Efe aka Filmmaker has established himself as one of the most representative members of recent years in the EBM, Synth-wave and Electro realms. Filmmaker doesn’t disappoint when putting together new energetic and yet carefully crafted dense tunes. His spectrum within sound exploration gets tastefully wider as time goes by and his latest release on our imprint is a testament to that. Code Breakers is a 5-track EP of pleasantly grungy sounds with impactful bass lines and transcendent melodies infused in between.
