In recent years, Blackploid has come to be one of Central Processing Unit’s signature artists. The German producer has averaged more than a record a year for the Sheffield imprint since he first landed on CPU in 2021. This prolific run continues with Cosmic Drama, Blackploid’s second LP for the label. The album takes the baton from its predecessor Enter Universe in style, delivering twelve tracks of top-quality machine-funk that draw down from electro’s classic artists while also imbuing proceedings with a playfulness that very much gives things a signature Blackploid-ish flavour.

Cosmic Drama sets its stall out from the off. The opening run of ‘Alien’, ‘World Construction’ and ‘Virtual State’ all deliver piston-snapping beats which anchor pleasing melanges of B-movie synth lines. Alongside this, Blackploid adds little flourishes which add buoyancy to each joint - a syncopated bassline reminiscent of I-f’s late-90s classic ‘Space Invaders Are Smoking Grass’, crackling robo-voiced commands, skittering synth chords which wash across the mix and so on. It’s the work of someone completely at ease with their craft, comfortable enough to take risks without upsetting the apple cart of their sound’s core appeal.

Blackploid’s idiosyncratic approach to synth work is something which distinguishes Cosmic Drama from the pack. Electro has long been a genre which prides itself on innovation on the keys, but few producers are willing to push their sonics as far as Blackploid does - take the seasick churn of pads and processors on ‘Multiverse’, for instance, or the way John Carpenter-esque single-note lines dovetail with gurgling synthetic pulses and eerie, spacious chords on ‘The Lab’, a highlight of Cosmic Drama’s midsection.

Cosmic Drama skips along at club tempo throughout - every one of these joints will get bodies moving in dark rooms across the galaxy. However, even when tracks maintain their single-minded pursuit of machine-funk perfection, they never forget to deliver on the hooks. Blackploid has lead lines (and counter-melodies) to burn here, and each track knots them together in ever-more intriguing ways as they plough onwards. Drexciyan heads will be thrilled by the sci-fi delights of ‘Species’, for instance, while Blackploid brings melodies as cold as they are catchy on the aptly-named ‘Polar Dunes’. By the time Cosmic Drama hits upon the vroom-vrooming bassline line of closer ‘Contact’, you’re fully enthralled to the album’s combination of broken-beat heft and synthetic melodiousness.

TL PREMIERE : Konerytmi - Megapikseli [Analog Concept]

People sometimes speak of something that happens frequently as happening 'ever so often'. But when something happens only occasionally, it happens every so often. Ever so often is a monthly show at Operator by Samira, a dj that usually comes back to a darker palette of melancholic electro, acid and new beat.

TL Premiere #1942 (2025.06.06) : Voltaire - Echoes [COD3 QR]

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

For this 101st Premiere of 2025, we have the title track by French DJ/Producer "Voltaire" (@voltaire0music) of his forthcoming debut album "Echoes" on the label run by Laurent Garnier (@laurent-garnier) : COD3 QR (@cod3qr).

▶︎ The LP will be available from June 20, 2025 in digital here : www.cod3qr.com

Release Info :

Voltaire - Echoes [COD3 QR // QRDVOLTAIREEchoes25]

After a number of acclaimed tracks and EPs, the southern newcomer on the French electronic scene is releasing his first album on COD3 QR, Laurent Garnier's label. A full-length album on which the producer establishes himself as the newcomer to watch in a techno revival.

The rise to fame has been a gradual one for the producer from the south of France, and the release of "Echoes" could well have a resounding impact on the French electronic music scene, which is beginning to take on a new lease of life. Passionate musician, head on shoulders and sharp ear, Voltaire has prepared the release of this long format with COD3 QR well. After several EPs and appearances on the label's famous compilations since 2021, plus a remix in 2023 of Laurent Garnier's "Tales From The Real World" that allowed a glimpse at his potential, "Echoes" now allows full appreciation of all of this musician's qualities.

The gradual disappearance of the album format versus the digital single has not dampened the determination of this artist and the label to impose a singular artistic vision on an LP: "After having produced a number of tracks, I was absolutely determined to create a story with all the pieces on this album", assures Voltaire. "I wanted to compose something that I don't hear anymore in today's music, something different from dancefloor techno. Echoes fully crystallises this desire."

The emotional eclecticism of this album comes as no surprise to listeners who have followed Voltaire's previous releases. "Since I started out, I've produced house, techno and electro tracks... this eclecticism is part of my personality as a musician. I love all facets of electronic music and I want to remain open to all influences."

"Echoes" features lush, lysergic techno (the phenomenal "Detune", "Echoes", "Human" and "Unity", reminiscent of Border Community), liberating forays into IDM ("Connection Lost", "I’ll See You Again", "Singular Pursuit", whose dreamy melody will inevitably bring Plaid to mind), catchy electro-techno (the aptly named "Dance!", "Wave Function", a model of mental techno), raw dancefloor accents and even a symphonic anthem to conclude (the luminous "Voltaire").

Through this frenzied eclecticism, Voltaire intends to put his signature: "the link between all the songs of the album is the precision of the rhythms, the choice of melodies, the metallic sound of cymbals…". Nourished by the electro of origins (Kraftwerk, Juan Atkins' Detroit, Robert Hood or Dopplereffekt) and the profusion of electro from the 2000s and 2010s, Voltaire is under the influence of an extremely productive retro-mania. With "Echoes", he offers a brilliant synthesis, in the precious setting of an irreproachable production.

No Hope, No Fear VA [KRI // KRI011]

Snippets : https://soundcloud.com/kri-records/kri011-no-hope-no-fear-va-snippets

No Hope, No Fear is a new vinyl series in our catalogue combining 4 artists and a nod to the legendary Slovenian band Borghesia and our apocalyptic times.

Swedish duo Harlem Electronics is responsible for the meaty opening track Versausage, where minimal wave meets industrial funk. Fear side is rounded by American Kri family member Ole Mic Odd, returning with his signature haunting electro gloom.

Hope side doesn't necessarily offer hope but sure does help with escapism. Slovenian partner in crime 198319831983 gives an apt comment while twisting electro and EBM on Trustno1. The record finishes on a "high" note with the legendary Cute Heels ft. Duke MC Herton for peak-time club decadence. No Hope, No Fear!

Tracklist : 

Fear:
A1. Harlem Electronics (@harlemelectronics) - Versausage
A2. Ole Mic Odd (@ole-mic-odd) - Nebula

Hope:
B1. 198319831983 (@198319831983) - Trustno1
B2. Cute Heels (@cute-heels-live) ft Duke Mc Herton - Wear Too Lace
