Soma Records’ electro sub-label, Avoidant Records assemble a fresh rogue squadron for another massive compilation as 16 electro warriors take on the ‘Dark Planet’.
After the impact of last year's huge ‘Defend Your Planet’ VA, Avoidant immediately set about recruiting another incredible group of artists that represent the Glasgow based label’s output. ‘Dark Planet’ brings together established, classic and up and coming producers who take their cues from the Detroit and European schools of electro. Gathered from across the planet - from Australia, The Netherlands, the USA and UK - the compilation sound is geared up for the dancefloor.
Our choice here was an a huge bass waves produced direct from majestic The Lord Of The Isles on ‘Approach & Identify’ glide across dubbed out percussion and effective melodies.
The compilation will be released on digital platforms on 22nd November this year, with a four track vinyl sampler to follow in early 2022 featuring a vinyl only exclusive Dub Mix of Flug’s contribution to the release.

PREMIERE | Lord Of The Isles - Approach & Identify [Avoidant] 2021

If you thought 2021 would not see a release from Chambre Noire Records, think again. The label is back with the Prism EP, a Various Artists affair, featuring tracks by RW, Mild Drama, and label head Bunzinelli, all Montreal artists.

Born from the desire to offer positive, melody-oriented, and uplifting music during this dark period we are still experiencing, this EP is all about encapsulating the feelings of euphoria and unity that can be experienced on a dancefloor, as a reminder that the hope induced by music and dancing will light our path through the darkness.

MILD DRAMA - IT STINGS THE WOUND CLEAN :
This tune is a collaboration between Richard Wenger and Matt Salaciak, both co-founders of Temple Records, and their first appearance as such. At 144 BPM, it’s a fast-paced affair carried by a synth lead full of emotion and its harmonious interplay with the bassline, pads, and various elements bringing depth to the mix. With a feel and arrangements reminiscent of a live jam, listeners can focus on the tracks faster elements or zoom out and revel in its soothing chord progressions.

PREMIERE : Mild Drama - It Stings The Wound Clean

Conflict had never been his thing, he shied away from any form of confrontation, that said he somewhat enjoyed being a spectator. Casually pausing his music to listen into a heated argument on the train; watching from a distance as a friend challenged a drunken stranger getting in her space — as soon as it came to matters of his own though, he froze and retreated. On the fringes was where he'd always choose to remain.

It's been five years since Bintus unleashed anything into the world. Lucky for us he's back to 'cause a right old stink' with a new two-tracker on his own Power Vacuum imprint. It's a gutsy return that, in typical Bintus fashion, hits you smack bang in the face with a dose of acid, electro and rave sonics, from the squelchy staccato punches of title track 'Rag It!' to the acid-driven ride that is 'Millennium Speaker Stand'.

Rag It!

PREMIERE: Bintus - Millennium Speaker Stand [Power Vacuum]

Track: Galactic Stabs Brotherhood Dub

A year and a half after its first release, Pilote, Syrinx Music is back with another V/A release, Ballast. Meanwhile, Syrinx set various events up in the Paris area, and took great care of this new EP. Just as the device it takes its name from, Ballast aims to find a balance in contrast, in line with Syrinx’s aesthetics: an open vision of electronic music, linking both club & experimental dimensions.
On Ballast, this contrast goes with the idea of duality. The A Side of the vinyl (pressed as a dubplate in a very limited edition) gathers three artists of the most adventurous side of the French bass scene. Cyberlife kicks things up with an atmospheric and aerial breakbeat track.

PREMIERE | Cyberlife - Galactic Stabs Brotherhood Dub [Syrinx] 2022

Following their debut album ‘Visions Of Ultraflex’, the Norwegian-Icelandic electro-duo serves up a mouthwatering extended remix 12" with two of Norways most distinctively renowned underground producers and DJs. Telephones twists ‘Work Out Tonight’ into a bubbly Balearic Pop block-party, fusing the vibe of NYC Peech Boys, Quincy Jones' 80s productions and Larry Levan's infamous take on Nami Shimada/Soichi Terada, all rounded off with a decadent beatless ambient acid outro mix. On the flip, the norse force that is DJ Sotofett, heavy-handedly rubs ‘Secret Lover’ into an uncompromising chunk of Cosmic Electro, with growling vocoders, rugged drums and stratospheric synths, progressively evolving into a tripped out dub-disco electro-mutant. Each side clocking in at approx. 12 minutes.. do not miss!

PREMIERE : DJ Sotofett - Cosmic Lover

Rest seemed such an unfamiliar word these days, life moved at a 100 miles per hour with no respite or time to take stock. When one thing ended another started, the mind was constantly flooded with information and given little chance to absorb it all. The tasks were never ending and the willingness to complete them continued to evaporate; would there ever be a chance to slow down and simply switch off?

Amsterdam’s traumgarten have called on friends and family for a new compilation to raise money for three charities doing important work in their respective fields. “An ode to parallel universes, dormant desires, and all the unexplored paths of our finite existence”, the 21 track release marks the label’s second benefit release. Titled ‘Virgin Forest’, the compilation brings together the likes of Job Sifre, upsammy, Ineffekt & Nazanin Noori, who explore the cosmic corners of the electronic spectrum, touching on ambient, bass, percussive rhythms, acid and much more. 

All proceeds will be split between three organisations: Alianza Arkana, a grassroots organization committed to the protection, development and wellbeing of the Peruvian Amazon and the indigenous Shipibo-Konibo peoples; Everyday Refugees, a foundation that aids refugees, local communities, and people internally displaced by war; and Bridges Over Borders, a community-based collective offering support to BIPoC, LGBTQIA+, and other marginalised individuals fleeing Ukraine.

For the seventh relase of the Worst collection, our infamous A Strange Wedding takes a deep turn on the great unknown.

Keeping in mind the « ritual » and « cosmic » adjectives often associated with his music, he built a mystical artifact fallen from the skies, quite litterally indeed. « Black Magic Rituals » is a wizzard's book full of smart spells to open the space and time continuum. Whether it is made of shimmering stratospheric soundscapes or built in between constellations of the inner world, A Strange Wedding goes beyond his own forms to explore half-step industrial leftfield dub as well as mental-driven deep techno in the style of italian masters. Oscillating from far distances to intimate odes to infinity, this crystal maze of sharp music stands as a usefull toolbox for total mind liberation, and marks a step even forward into's A Strange Wedding sonic journey.

To be continued, of course.

Pour le septième opus de Worst Records, notre cher A Strange Wedding prend un tournant assuré vers le grand Inconnu.

Prenant à la lettre les adjectifs « rituel » et « cosmique » qui sont souvent associés à sa musique, il sculpte ici un artefact mystique tombé des cieux. Littéralement. « Black Magic Rituals » est un grimoire de magicien gorgé de sorts ouvrant autant de brèches dans l'espace-temps. Qu'ils consistent en des paysages sonores scintillants ou qu'ils soient tendus entre les constellations de mondes internes, A Strange Wedding s'aventure ici dans les franges liminaires de ses formes musicales fétiches, d'une leftfield dub industrialisante à une deep-techno dans le style très mental des maîtres italiens. Oscillant entre des dimensions lointaines et des odes à l'infini de l'intime, ce labyrinthe cristallin s'ouvre comme une boîte à outils pensée pour la libération totale de l'âme, et marque un pas décisif dans le voyage musical de A Strange Wedding.

Jusqu'au prochaines frontières, assurément.
