RELEASES

3BS Records presents an EP of raw dystopian/utopian techno from Hence Therefore.

Machine For Destroying Value is the result of years of Sydney inner-western toil, forging a set of tools to improvise live soundscapes with equal emphasis on full body movement and lofty cerebral highs. Welded within these distorted waves of despair lies a message of hope for the precariat.

In collaboration with the Surface Tension collective, Infinite Beat Ambient created an after hours audio, visual and olfactory experience. Live performances by Bleie, Brooke Keller (odi me, Gayphextwin) and Roche. 

This live ambient DJ set was inspired by my favorite San Francisco artist and Infinite Beat collaborator, Paul Clipson, which featured a  few selections of music that he shared with me and some music that I had the honor of sharing with him. It was meant to play like a film soundtrack.

This mix is dedicated to Paul Clipson, his family and our local film/arts/music community in San Francisco.

Additional thanks to Surface Tension and AON for mastering.

Name: Christina Chatfield (@anitserk)
Pronouns: She/Her
Location: San Francisco, CA

Influences: I was introduced to the world of electronic music while growing up in the Midwest, so I was heavily influenced by the sounds coming out of Detroit and Chicago. More recently I’ve found that as time goes on, I’ve been going further back in time with the music that influences me. Recent loves include 90s electronic music, 80s goth music, and early industrial music. Some examples artists include Luke Vibert, Coil, Plastikman, Future Sound of London, Drexciya, and Detroit Escalator Company. This recording is a live set of my original acid, house, & techno productions, but I’ve also started playing downtempo & ambient live sets as well. 

Affiliations/Residencies/Projects: I’ve been a resident artist for San Francisco collective As You Like It for the last 8 years. I’ve also released records with the labels God Particle and Beretta Music.

On ACEN010 Sydney based producer Hence Therefore steps out from releasing on his own 3BS imprint to deliver a two track single on All Centre.

A side ‘Waste Frontier’ utilises elastic percussion and torn samples drenched in his signature atmospheric reverbs as it Gradually building from a handful of carefully placed elements into a spacious dance floor excursion. The body of the track melodies and kick drum patterns against each other eventually giving way to an emotive lead melody supported by driving drums.

B side ‘Census Map Museum’ axis's around a chromatic melody which bobs around the stereo field as the frenetic percussion builds around it. As the track presses on supporting melodies grow from the main motif creating a web ear worms that carefully jostle amongst one another.

Waste Frontier is available across all platforms from the 18th of October.

Early Reflex is the new label run by Turin-based producer and DJ, Alec Pace. Aiming to both push experimental club music boundaries forward and promote new artists, the first release, out on the 30th, of April is a 9-track compilation titled FLEX001 heavily influenced by leftfield techno and bass music sounds.

The release features critically acclaimed artists such as Loraine James, Sonia Calico, and Hence Therefore; electronic beats manglers like hmurd and Lorem; TT Label and All Centre founder and producer DJ P; and debuts from both Croatian N/OBE and Taiwanese Nanassus.

Touching multiple aspects of club music, yet evocative of a more subversive, darker atmosphere, FLEX001 will accompany listeners through a musical and sensory journey. The compilation breaks geographic borders and brings together a kaleidoscopic set of tracks that blend experimental sounds with the functional aim of getting dance floors light up, as the title suggests.

FLEX001 comes out as a strong, clear statement about what Early Reflex label is all about and what to expect from it in the future.

FLEX001 compilation is available on all platforms on Thursday 30th of April 2020.
