Dark Techno

Over five years on from his first appearance on the label with 'Follow Me' off the 'Dnepr_Vancouver' VA, Ukrainian don Stanislav Tolkachev resurfaces with his debut solo four-tracker for RYC. Not quite swerving from the sonic pathway his name has become synonymous with over the years, ever so alien and transporting, Tolkachev’s latest boasts the very exact qualities that have made his sound stand out from others, earning him a constantly growing crowd of heirs and imitators along the way.

Breaking the trip in, 'Up The Steel Stairway' sets the tone for the EP without further ado. Sniping hails of steadily frantic, arpeggiated synth chords and puncturing kick drums that’ll have you dancing like one rolls with the punches, Tolkachev sails into the eye of the cyclone all guns blazing. Lacking no pounding heft either, 'The Less You Know' slits a way open into your head through a carefully dissonant symbiosis of corrosive synth lines and octave-shifting bass gone astray. On-the-edge techno at its rowdiest, most mentally challenging.

Flip the coin and here comes the deranged, trouble-brewing 'One More To Go'. Cranking the mind-bogglingness a notch further, this one bulldozers its way past all sanity thresholds without blinking. Final number 'The Way To The After' tops it off in more straightforward but equally immersive fashion. Plunging us in a submerged chamber of sorts, where heavily verbed-out synth flexions entangle along tranquilly ascending pads, progressively dissolving in inert pools of FX-charged bleach and slo-dripping dub venom.

*We've also decided to spice things up a bit with a very special and limited 'crystal clear' edition, in addition to the regular black wax run, both pressed in 180 gram audiophile quality. These won't be available separately, but spread amongst the main run as some kind of lost easter egg, so keep your eyes peeled!

RYCL014 - Stanislav Tolkachev - The Less You Know

In March 2023, Tresor Records will release "Crash Recoil", a new album by Surgeon. It marks Anthony Child's first techno LP in five years, following a period in which he felt uncertainty in his role as a techno producer and found it tough to locate inspiration. This new album encounters him drawing on spontaneous techniques to arrive at unchartered topographies.

"Crash Recoil" originates from Surgeon's recent live sets, where he experimented with constraints in performing and embracing the twists, turns and paradoxes that arrive from this. Each fresh iteration on consistent MIDI sequences and hardware reconfigured tracks into different constellations, creating an inspiring vortex of unpredicted events where ideas could flourish. This new approach allowed him to capture the spontaneous energy of his live shows in a way he had never done before. "This is not a live album, since it has not been recorded in one go during a live performance. In the same way that bands tour songs before going into the studio to record an album, I was able to explore these songs and hone their effectiveness during my live performances before creating a studio version."

The result is eight tracks that emphasise a new techno sound for Surgeon, drawing in references from across the musical spectrum. "I can hear Coil, King Tubby, Detroit Techno and The Cure all wrapped up with 30 years of DJing," Surgeon says of the album. Melancholic hum-like ambiences smudge around unadorned, near-droning basslines, crunching rhythm and percolating arpeggiations. The tracks carry unique and potent locomotion, with a low-slung grind through toughened terrains, breathing with a free spirit, untethered by a studio-based perspective. We hear manifestations of the same raw material across the album, like a textural motif, carving new variants and creating a cohesive work full of recollection.

We are happy to present you a multi-facetted and multi-talented artist today, Anna Z! Very early she started taking several art courses, while she enjoyed an education that was specialized on mathematics and physics. She gained a deeper insight into the world of sound, frequencies and music in the most intimate way by learning several instruments with a focus on guitar.
After her graphic design studies, during which she focused more on her artistic skills and learned to work with several programs from editing software to complex 3d modeling and programming, she worked as a designer and illustrator for several years. 
Anna moved to Berlin in 2012 and started studying architecture at the University of Arts Berlin (Universität der Künste Berlin). She soon got into contact with the Berlin electronic music culture, especially with the modular synth scene and started designing and manufacturing some of her own musical gear. 2015 ANNA Z started to work with the visual guidance of the WERK crew and their events. She soon became a part of the operating crew and record label (with J.Manuel). 
Her art comes from the most different experiments, including, programming, hardware, drawing, photographies, oil and acrylic painting, all this with the music in mind. Besides experimenting with the following programs: quartz composer, max, processing, grasshopper, adobe programs, ableton live. She started making music on her own. Working with Reaktor and Cycling 74, she is creating her own instruments.
Her graphics became the face of WERK and the project today and now it would be inconceivable without her work. In July 2018 Anna had a first official music live experience with modular synth live jam together with J.Manuel at //: about blank.

BCCO Mix Series 241: Anna Z

Nasi is a DJ, producer, and multi-instrumentalist based in her hometown of Tbilisi. Her musical journey began with cello, percussion, and classical music, which she effectively incorporates into her alternative and experimental electronic music projects, such as MokuMoku and Metastasis. In her sets, you will experience unique rhythmical sensations alongside her characteristic ambient/noise/musique concrète sounds. Nasi's extensive musical background results in a rich, distinctive sound with sophisticated structures and experimental elements. She primarily performs groove-infused, fast-paced, peak-time techno. One of the main characteristics of her production is shaped not only by her musical experiences but also by her non-binary identity. The techno scene serves as the best platform for her to represent this synthesis.

[UTPS018] Utopia Society: Notzing - UTPS018

Echelon takes you on a trip into the core of subterranean techno. Starting in the ominous vacuum of ambient, Intact Code transitions to droning house to finally arrive at the nerve-
wrecking rhythms for which the pioneer is known for.

The journey of Intact Code is conspicuous, while its destination is clear. Having his roots in the 90s, the Dutchman Jeroen Search is a veteran in the underground electronic-music scene. 
As an inspiration for artists along the full spectrum, he is a delicacy for techno connoisseurs. 
Jeroen is recognized for his progressive consistency, but always crossing the front lines of musical inventionality. 
Within his Echelon alias he pushes his experimental
boundaries by mixing synthesized sensor data from satellites from outer space with his trademark of uncompromising techno. 
Together with Amsterdam based Lazy Reflex Complex,
Jeroen Search releases an album honoring his legacy while surprising his audience with
vibrations from other galaxies.

Mastered by Audiosculpture.
