Ivan Smagghe is the seamlessly cool founder behind Les Disques de la Mort. For years he has been regarded as one of the leading figures in Electronic music and continues to push the boundaries between the weird, wonderful, obscure and danceable, alongside the likes of Andrew Weatherall, Optimo, Trevor Jackson and more. He slots firmly into chic French fashion culture and gritty, underground musical eclecticism at the same time. Over the past couple of years his label has released music from far and wide: pop obscurities from Israel, punk funk from Lithuania and experimental electronics from the likes of Mutado Pintado, Golden Bug and Margot. He delivers over an hour of energetic fun for Ransom Note.

Assembler Code -  We've felt this one coming for a minute now. After an unstoppable run of releases along side Jensen Interceptor on labels such as Cultivated Electronics, Private Persons & Boysnoize Records, AC is finally flying solo with this 4 track electro assault masterpiece 'Mental Escape'.

Plugging into the title track 'Mental Escape’, it’s a rugged machine driven work out through IDM & Industrial landscapes formulated to present his vision of futuristic electro whilst still providing all the nostalgic Rother & Drexcyian nods we all love. 

Now that the tone has been set, 'Simulant' follows suit. Entering the celestial sphere via some haunting sci-fi strings, we're slapped in the face with slamming percussion followed by a relentless acidic modulated baseline that takes us from one planet to the next at light speed.

The Journey wouldn't be complete with out his old partner in crime Jensen Interceptor coming on board for a ride. 'Type 2' is a classic case of past meets present. Scrapyard industrial groove ready to split speakers at your next warehouse party married with a selection of classic Alpha sounds to keep all the purists in check.

The thunder continues to the very end. If you're a tape saturation fiend begging for your next 808 crack hit, prepare to have your back bent in half with euphoria as soon as 'Hal's Machine Tool' is injected into your ears. In short, 4 minutes & 44 seconds of hard nasty robotic electro booty sweat.

The scent hung delicately in the summer air as the birds chirped with a polite chorus amidst the trees. The television flickered and flashed inside the living room as the great outdoors was in bloom. His eyes were fixed, focussed and locked upon a beautiful image which showed a galaxy full of life far, far away. He cared not for the glory of nature upon planet earth and all that lay beyond his window, for he might be a wanderer amongst the stars. His life was but a breeze in a tiny capsule, a television kid of the next generation. 

Has anybody told you that breaks are back in fashion yet? They have? Ah, well. We are here to tell you again! First Second Label, an imprint operating out of Dublin are preparing to release a quite brilliant EP by ELLLL, a rave inspired utopian jam with a rough undercurrent.

PREMIERE: ELLLL - Febreeze [First Second Label]

The noise echoed in the dense chamber as he began to wander between the maze of open tunnels. It was a mysterious passageway full of dark turns and odd corners. Nobody knew really where the end was, whether it was in fact an end which could even be found. I don't really know either, all I could think of was losing myself beneath the city walls and never returning to the surface. He walked onwards through the quiet realm of tunnels, the dust covered walls trapped him from the outside in. I was lost. 

12th Isle are set to release a new EP from Glasgow based musician and producer Lo Kindre, a familiar face up north who has previously released on Optimo Music and in collaboration with Mr TC on Neubau. The record, titled "Chlorophytum", is an abstract collection of experimental electronics and instrumentation - blending dub, drone and psychedelia in an unorthodox fashion.

PREMIERE: Lo Kindre - I Don't Really [12th Isle]

The first upload from CKNOWEP14. Wave Slave is the A2 track from Jensen Interceptor's debut EP 'The Ultimate Wave Riding Vehicle' on Craigie Knowes.

TYLER DANCER - NYX (DBA041, '62 MILES HIGH' EP)

Leipzig label Kontrapunkt’s inaugural record presents a richly diverse collection of music that spans from world music infused house in the vein of many Sex Tags releases to break ridden, hard hitting, low-fi techno through to considered ambient music. Despite the variation Kontra is held together by a unifying underground style that every track shares.

PREMIERE : Carmel - Kampfsport Afrika

Steve Murphy returns to Lobster Theremin for his debut solo album, curdling a molten mixture of metallic tones and stomping rhythms all culled from the electro, new wave, EBM and italo worlds.

Cold wave spoken word vocals shimmer, holla and wail from the depths of an 80's basement studio (Connessione Europa, Digital Fix Today); stomping italo rhythms take off with a flourish and wash, as they're bound onto the surface of poly synth dreams (Space Train, Mira Electronics); bastardised modular squelches and blips reveal a hidden underground lab (Ray Gun); modem-bleeping electro machine-worx and on-the-run basslines from 2125 (Disappointed, The Truth, Again); the end, when it comes, is a slow play-em-off jam. An italo electro elevator them tune gently carrying us up to a formerly erased dystopian level of this monolithic brutalist cuboid.
