Andi / Randolph & Mortimer - Torque Force

12” Vinyl: b.link/torqueforce
Digital: b.link/torqueforcedigital

The concept behind this split 12” is simple. Two artists who are divided by the Atlantic Ocean but unified by a love of classic New Beat sounds. Andi, boss of the New York City-based Synthicide record label/club night and Aufnahme + Wiedergabe recording artist, combined forces with Sheffield’s Industrialist and lover of underground Body Music, Randolph & Mortimer, to present their own interpretation to the unmistakable Belgian genre.

Thus, “Torque Force” was forged. A landscape where seedy neon-soaked city streets merge with the clang of hammers and of industry: Gotham versus The Steel City. Andi brings pure style to Side A with driving beats and rolling, lo-fi percussion overlaid by seriously funky basslines and ominous samples. Side B is jammed with the unmistakable dancibility found in Randolph & Mortimer’s oeuvre that forces the body to move —with intense, in-your-face synth lines and precise beats, there is no choice but to dance.

The four tracks on “Torque Force” are not just uber cool dancefloor killers, but could easily soundtrack a slew of 1980s dystopian cyber-sleaze movies. She must have violated the program…

The third compilation (of four instalments) in the Various Artists catalogue of Pi Electronics is hitting physical and digital stores around the globe on the 10th of February 2023.

The concept of releasing artists, who performed at π parties (2014-2019) along with musicians who stood close to the label before and during its activity, gathers 18 tracks to the Limitation Compilation.

Music by New York City industrial legend Adam X, Swedish master mind producer Peder Mannerfelt and Irish Techno figure, Eomac (also one half of Lakker) finally takes its place on the label catalogue, along with tracks by the electro side of Italian born producer, Alessandro Adriani and the sound-aesthetic of UK hailing musicians, Slave to Society (formerly AnD ) and Sam KDC.
Berlin artists Alekzandra and Interviews appear with a synth leaning piece, and a hypnotic, broken techno contribution respectively.
You can also meet the sound of Tel Aviv’s finest electro duo TV.OUT on this release, which also includes a rare collaboration track by Ireen Amnes and Gramrcy.
Finally, ‘Limitation’ presents music by Greece affiliated acts of different backgrounds: from the dreamy guitars of Monochromatic Visions and the ambient/drone of Devika, to the broken beats of Zevla and Ønly, as well as the rolling techno of Thanos Hana. Not to mention the textures of noise band Phallucipher, the industrial slo mo techno of Thessaloniki’s, Archaic Intellect, and the noise-techno of label founder, 3.14.

A crossroad of different genres and production styles is offered in the formats of Double Vinyl Sampler, Double CD and digital for this compilation, titled “Limitation”.

Mental Tools Vol.1 to be released on Antiverse records on March 23rd, 2023

Antiverse, the new event dedicated to mental dancefloor oriented music taking place once a month in Carbone club (Paris), and curated by the former Concrete (Paris) founder/A&R Brice Coudert, is launching its own label Antiverse records.

The very first release of the imprint, Mental Tools vol 1., is an extended 10 tracks EP produced by RAAR, showing all the spectrum of sounds that you could experiment at Antiverse, from Minimal Techno to Psy Trance or Bass Music, but always with a minimalistic approach and a strong potential to bend minds and drag them into very deep waters.

With several tracks that reached millions of streams, Raar is both acclaimed for his Techno bangers and impressive Djsets, as well as for his talents as a sound designer and producer of a more IDM-inspired sound that made him release, among other things, an EP on Lith Dolina (AD 93's sublabel), and see one of those tracks ranked among the 100 best of 2021 by WARP-affiliated platform, BLEEP.

The 10-tracks pack on Antiverse records is as the same time a piece of music that could be listened in one go like an album, but also a very strong arsenal of musical weapons for Djs. 


Produced by Vital Cornet (Raär)

Turbo 189 - @dimitri-veimar - Less Talk EP
Release Date (vinyl & digital) - May 5th, 2017

Seasoned memory athletes will no doubt recall the Turbo's past affiliation with the former Soviet Union (Proxy, Tiga Tigayevich Khristorozhdestvensky), and recent geopolitical developments have prompted the label to once again hedge its bets. Our A&R team spent countless hours sifting through layer after layer of Russian underground music, a shocking amount of which turned out to be fake SoundCloud accounts from producers based in Florida. In fact, our best intelligence suggests that Dimitri Veimar may be the only person making music in Russia today.

For the 30 minutes a day he is not trading in politically moderate Twitter-bot futures, Veimar produces dark, raw-dog electro. He has already released music with Omnidisc and Renate, so it makes little sense to us why we have to communicate with him via a mole in the Canadian embassy in Moscow, which is further complicated by the fact that the mole is also an aspiring DJ/producer whom we have to keep happy at all costs. You have no idea how much has been sacrificed in order to shield you from the realpolitik of international dance music.

Tracklist:
A1. Dimitri Veimar - Less Talk
A2. Dimitri Veimar - Respect, Kiev!
B1. Dimitri Veimar - Windor
B2. Dimitri Veimar - A8
DX. Dimitri Veimar - Happy T

Out Now

Dimitri Veimar - Respect, Kiev

‘Plannt’ begins with some unaccompanied moody chords which quickly fold in favour of a truly arresting electro composition, and this is where @shinra truly allows himself to shine. The underlying rhythmic sirens help to highlight the sheer density of this track and its elements: the flexible and richly layered nature which persists throughout means that ‘Plannt’ is one that can suit both listening on the floor and on headphones in equal measure.

The Meteor EP is out May 12th on @analogicalforce.
