Deep Space Transit ARTS CCV0032

“Les Malicieuses” or “The Mischievous Ones” in French, is a double record from Berlin-based French producer Quelza. Aptly named, the LP breaks traditions of what techno is, and forges a path for what it could be. Quelza’s signature sound design and master productions shine through his blending of breakbeat, IDM, and ambient with pulsating, energetic, and wonderfully dark techno.

Quelza is assiduous when it comes to his music – his first releases already shared an input on his unorthodox approach to production, with past releases on labels such as New Rhythmic, KSR, Hayes Collective, as well as just released on Eric Cloutier’s Palinoia which is already a ‘TIP’ on Hardwax, and now Les Malicieuses LP on Bas Mooy’s MORD Records. Throughout the years the artist has also shown peculiar DJ skills having played in clubs such as Tresor, Griessmuehle, Industrial Copera in Spain, and closed 2021 in KHIDI Tbilisi.

While his influences from Spanish techno are heard throughout, the LP is not one that merely copies the traditions of the past. “Les Malicieuses” forges its own sound. The album is dark, driving, and unexpected – an exciting journey through the depths of Quelza’s imagination. Obsessively produced sound design enriches the driving rhythms of the release, defining a new sound inspired by cinematic scores.

The ‘Les Malicieuses’ the idea of a “dance floor ready” techno LP. Nothing here is predictable. The tracks explore the concepts of disruption and disturbance while maintaining club-ready rhythms throughout. This barrier-breaking album is a vision into the future of the genre, highlighted by its release on essential techno label, Mord Records.

Bonded

Premiere: Hitam - Bonded [SMV007]

"El Caos Reina" by Oxygeno is the new chapter of our label. This EP is made up of four raw, mental and introspective tracks where the creator tells us the story of a difficult and uncertain time.

Side A opens with "Veneno En Los Labios", an exercise with heavy drums, wrapped by a crunchy bass and a tense and nostalgic atmosphere. This track is followed by "Condenados", a more experimental, dark and anxious piece, where you can feel the terror of the situation.

On the B-side we first find "Grito Al Vacío", the most energetic track, with a strong kick and bassline, cutting percussions and a pad that appears as a desperate scream. In the last track but not least, "As De Corazones", is the hypnotic piece of the album but keeping the forcefulness of the rest.

Available in digital format and 12" vinyl.

Written & Produced: Diego Amido Teijeiro
Mastering: Paul Mac (Hardgroove Mastering)

Flug - The Collection Quartz [QRZ LP001]

Having carved out a lane truly his own in the often harshly competitive world of techno, Argentinian-born / Barcelona-based producer Sebastian Lopez, alias Flug, has long proven to be no bit player in the scene and his compositions have kept signalling a fighting fit producer, whose highest standards of floor skippering and experimentation-friendly approach have never failed him over the years. Resurfacing three years after the drop of his debut vinyl album, 'In Safe Hiding', Flug clocks in on Quartz Rec with 'Flug I - The Collection' - a long-player bound to reconnect fully with the club and produce very energetic tracks that represent the techno he loves playing during his DJ sets. All tracks were originally written on tour, on the plane or in hotel rooms to better capture the dancefloor's vibe, using field recordings from around the globe and later processed in the studio via his analogue arsenal of preference.
 
Displaying the many octaves of his craft through great spreads of high-impact club engineering and frenzy-whipping mechanics, Flug takes us on a pulsating ride across the history of dance music - taking cues from Detroit's own cosmo-telluric tramplers from back the Underground Resistance armada's heyday, the Roman scene's classic acidulous four-to-the-floors, Berlin's big-room-busting DNA, dredged with a hint of dubby exploratory manoeuvres a la Maurizio. Both mineral in strength but liquid in its flowing abilities, Lopez's newest extension into the deep and intricate realms of club music collages without pastiching, extracts without bleeding dry, forming the backbone to an assortment of cuts that shall awake the restless dancer in you with optimal effect.
 
If tracks like the lushly verbed-out 'Ephos' and 'Sequences From The Black Basement' perhaps best define the track collection's overall headspace, merging Flug's trademark melodic shine with further obliterating rhythms that are sure to lay absolute waste in their wake, others like 'Mars' and 'Hyperventilation' go straight for the jugular with their deadly mix of paced-up martial rhythmics and elliptical grooves gone amok. Just as easy steering the focus into further leftfield-friendly horizons, like on the droney 'Ratio', via the freaky acid-popping of 'Box In A Box' and ambitious width of scope of 'A Different Choice', Lopez delivers something of a life-affirming message with this choice selection of club-oriented delicacies; drawing as much inspiration and energy from the dancefloors Flug got to become intimate with, as he intends to reflect such inspirational forces and energies across the rooms.

The next instalment on SK_X sees Belgian producer Phara join his Voltage Festival member Border One on the series for a batch of expertly constructed, surefooted rolling techno.  His Life Of Krumar EP comes after a string of releases on respected imprints such as an upcoming Soma release, as well as Planet Rhythm and Stockholm LTD, CLERGY .. opening with the driving energy of ‘A1’, blending rampant open hats and surging synth swells to create serious tension.  On the flip, B1 maintains the same force albeit with rougher drum-work whilst B2 steam lines it down to an insistent moment of dance floor delirium.

Benjamin Damage is an innovative UK techno artist, the first artist signed to Berlin’s legendary 50Weapons label and the last to release an album at its closure. This period produced three critically acclaimed albums and many EPs, drawing from diverse sources to help define the crossover UK / Berlin techno sound.

As well as two, highly charged four-tracks for Len Faki’s Figure label and ‘Deep Space Transit’ on ARTS, Benjamin put out two stinging dance floor cuts as BDB, a secret collab with label mates, Feel My Bicep. A live-recorded cut for Jeff Mill’s Axis Records was released this year. 

Performing on an all-hardware setup, Benjamin’s storming live performances have lit up the best clubs and festivals all around the world. The powerful setup has been fully redeveloped for 2021.
