Each December we release a compilation that reflects the current year and looks ahead to the next. It's a mix of tracks where artists complement each other and where we feature some of their strongest work. It can be seen as a proud collection of tracks that defines the Atomnation sound.

2K19 features new work from Applescal, Milio, Mordisco and Sam Goku. Tunnelvisions, boys be kko, Coloray, Sky Civilian and Polynation complete the selection with songs that got released earlier this year on their respective albums / EP's.

On behalf of our artists and team, we wish you all the best for the new year. A couple of great projects are in the planning which we can't wait to share with you. Thanks for your support!

Various Artists - 2019 Compilation

The Ongoing Sounds of the AM 2020

Following 12"s from Ricardo Tobar and MANASYt, the third release on Tel Aviv's Musar welcomes rising UK artist and "Super Hexagon" label boss, J.Wiltshire.
The Laghan Pux EP finds Wiltshire sharing his psychedelic electronic side. The gleaming sci-fi gem 'DESklep' opens the EP with a slice of melodic IDM, while the bass-heavy title track is brooding, dark and trippy.
On the B side, the mysterious Roy of The Ravers (Acid Waxa) reshapes 'Laghan Pux' with an 80s acid makeover, and 'Chained Releases' jets into a retro-futurist soundscape with electro beats and Blade Runner synths. 'Summon Them' closes the EP with magical ambient for hazy mornings.

SouveQ is a long standing DJ and producer who has a string of successful collaborative projects under his belt and since this year has also been managing this label. He started his latest moniker as a live and production project in 2017 focusing on a synth laden, 80s influenced sound that draws on Nu wave, disco and techno. His fantastic lead single here is a slow but superbly heavy affair with percolating disco synths, gritty claps and searching pads that bring a futuristic feel. It is an arresting track that works on body and soul in equally excellent fashion.

Psychedelic reminiscences, vibrant percussions, and hypnotic progressions characterize the eclectic sound of Ángel and Hugo, A.K.A. Mordisco.

Hailing from Granada, Spain, they play records and produce music together. Their approach blurs the lines between Techno, House, and Disco – providing a very free and personal vision to dance music.

This vision recently translated to an EP released on My Favorite Robot Records that included a remix from the respected veteran producer, DJ and remixer Sascha Funke. Also, earlier this year, their track “Zenit” released on Coloray’s Intercept records and made many dancefloors move.

Thanks to the organization and curating of their Mordisco Club parties in their hometown, Ángel and Hugo have been able to obtain an expression channel since 2011 with which they show their particular vision of independent electronic music.

That expression is clearly represented in the guest artists who have gone through their parties and with those who have shared booth: Red Axes, Fort Romeau, John Talabot, Pional, and Jeniffer Cardini, amongst many others.

The next step for Mordisco is the release of a new track right before the end of the year and forthcoming on Applescal's Atomnation records. "Ventura" has a punk-indie feel with a magic scat vocal sample that's right on the money and will make many dancefloors move.

Premiere: Mordisco - Ventura [Atomnation]

Sky Civilian - Where Is That Good Energy Lurking

-----
On the third floor of an abandoned textile mill to the north of Preston, a wave of strange musical beauty is blossoming. Brought up on the sounds of 80s Manchester though too young to have experienced it first hand, White Flowers, made up of Katie Drew and Joey Cobb, make gloriously gothic dreampop that’s as ambiguous as it is beautiful and exciting.

On 15th January 2020, the duo release Night Drive the first track from their debut double A-sided single Tough Love Records which also features the track Portra.

Co-produced by Doves’ guitarist, Jez Williams, Night Drive’s guitars carry a Kevin Shields-esque drone, as they swirl above its fragmented arrangement. Apocalyptic in nature, it twists and turns - thematically covering anxiety, fragility and frustration, while reminding that, even in the lowest of moments, one should not lose hope. 

‘Creating and crafting the songs has always been a therapeutic outlet for us,’ Cobb stated. ‘It’s been a long process, but it’s been one which has helped us deal with the frustration, worries and difficulties that come with every day life. It’s definitely a very cathartic record. It serves as a kind of journal of growing up and maturing in the 21st Century.’

Having begun life as scraps of ideas on a laptop, the songs were carefully crafted by the pair, before Williams got on board. 

‘At times, it’s easy to lose sight of the bigger picture when you’re so involved in the song,’ Drew noted. ‘Jez was great at drawing out the most important aspects. A lot of the songs are first takes - recorded at home in a very lo-fi way, but Jez gave us confidence. He made us realise that the rawness and the accidents are where the magic is. As fans of Doves, we’ve always admired the soundscapes and sampling techniques that they use, so it was a privilege to work with him.
Prior to the release, White Flowers will be heading out on tour with Toy to celebrate Independent Venue Week. The dates are as follows:

20.01.20 – Esquires – BEDFORD
31.01.20 – The Joiners – SOUTHAMPTON
01.02.20 – Ramsgate Music Hall – RAMSGATE

The double A-side single, Night Drive / Portra will be released on 12” vinyl on February 14th and is limited to 100 copies. It comes in a hand stamped sleeve and includes a ‘zine produced by the band. The band’s debut album will be released later in 2020.
