cable.percussion (Johnny McDowell) is a Dublin-based electronic music producer specialising in hardware-produced acid electronica. Active since early 2023, he is known for his energetic live performances and his unique style of psychological electronic music.

His music is brimming with playful melodies and otherworldly acid basslines over frenetic and often aggressive beats that defy the listener to figure out its genre. Not afraid to experiment with different styles, his sound is forward-thinking, eclectic and unpredictable, but consistently held together by his signature brain-wiggling acid sounds and pummeling breaks-infused drum patterns.

cable.percussion independently released his debut EP 'C.PERC' in August 2023, shortly after his debut live performance. He has since released the EP, 'Chrysalis' (Jan '24), and his first LP, '303 Mechanics' (Aug '24), with Dublin-based label Aduaine, as well as a 5-track EP called 'XYZ' with Icelandic label Intellitronic Bubble (Sep' 24), and has also recently had singles feature on various artists compilations with Aduaine (Paraben), as well as French label Tripalium Corp (Ketone).

He continues to play live sets regularly around Dublin, and has played with Dublin-based collectives including Dublin Modular, Live&Electric, Dissolve and Áise agus Éire, as well as opening for bands including FM Attack, Shakalak and Robin Blakey, and recently played a set on Dublin Digital Radio (hosted by resident Ecstatic Intervals).

cable.percussion's latest release - 11 mind-melting tracks collectively known as 'Acroplastics' - sees a further refinement in his sound, exploring a multitude of electronic genres and warping them into brain-bending acidified landscapes from outer space, designed to get the listener's brain dancing as much as their body.

Commuter / EKATA - Split [Ethos Records // ER010]

Previews : https://soundcloud.com/ethosrecords/er010-split-commuter-ekata-previews

French: 
D’un côté, l’élégance rétro-futuriste de Commuter, nourrie par les premières vibrations de l’électro et une fascination pour Kraftwerk ou Depeche Mode. De l’autre, l’univers sombre et cinématographique d’EKATA, résidente londonienne et exploratrice de grooves dystopiques inspirés par la science-fiction. Ces deux trajectoires distinctes convergent sur le split EP signé par le label rennais Ethos Records, attendu pour le 27 juin.

À travers quatre morceaux, deux par artiste, le split met en lumière des interprétations singulières de l’électro : Commuter livre des pièces où des mélodies acérées et des rythmes impeccables dialoguent avec des influences new wave et EBM. EKATA, quant à elle, nous emmène dans un récit sonore immersif, porté par des basses abyssales et des synthés angoissants.

Ce split EP, à la croisée des époques et des sensibilités, est une ode à la richesse intemporelle de l’électro.

English:
On one side, the retro-futuristic elegance of Commuter, nourished by the first vibrations of electro and a fascination for Kraftwerk and Depeche Mode. On the other, the dark, cinematic world of EKATA, a London resident and explorer of dystopian grooves inspired by science fiction. These two distinct trajectories converge on the split EP signed to Rennes-based label Ethos Records, due out on 27 June.

The project features four tracks, two from each artist, highlighting singular interpretations of electro: Commuter delivers pieces where sharp melodies and impeccable rhythms dialogue with new wave and EBM influences. EKATA, for her part, takes us on an immersive sonic journey, driven by abyssal bass and eerie synths.

This split EP, at the crossroads of eras and sensibilities, is an ode to the timeless richness of electro.

out now on Lambratech!! 

release info:

NEON ONI - ネオンオニ 

The sound of rebellion. The return of chaos. 

Lambratech proudly presents NEON ONI, a defiant 25-track compilation of cutting-edge electro from a battalion of international artists, each summoned to awaken the sonic demons beneath the surface. 

In a world where algorithms dictate taste and uniformity dominates the dancefloor, NEON ONI emerges as a glitch in the system — a call to arms for those who still believe in raw frequencies, distorted machines, and emotional voltage. Born from the depths of a cybernetic underworld, our Oni rise from tangled cables and neon-lit shadows to fight back against the tyranny of sonic standardization. 

This V/A release is not just a compilation — it’s an uprising. Expect machine-funk, cyber basslines, haunted grooves, and relentless drum programming. From classic electro purists to experimental iconoclasts, every artist contributes a strike in the war for musical soul. 

Plug in. Drop out.
