@galactic-funk-amsterdam co-founder Bertram lands on Dead Channel with his debut EP Kibra Cadena. Literally translated as ‘break chains’ in Aruban creole, and broadly referencing the breaking of colonial chains of imperial oppression, this six track EP of tense, brooding rhythms is driven and gritty. Spanning mutated psychedelic dub, Giallo-tinged cinematix, frenzied insidious acid, and methodically churning crispers, this stunning work is singular in its execution and focused in its vision. Visceral, heady, and relentless, this dark, genre-defying gem is a tour de force in sonic mastery.

| Premiere | Bertram - The Last Sound You’ll Ever Hear | [Dead Channel Records]

'Through consumption and entertainment' is the latest full-length compilation from the Sons of Traders label in collaboration with Mutant Radio. It features a gritty cast of affiliates of label owners Mike Tansella jr. and TANS who curate this release. Alys sets the scene with "EMX Tube Gain" featuring powerful distorted subs building up to atmospheric stabs and haunting harmonies. It's followed by Asymmetrical's hypnotic banger "Mistake at work" fully equipped with lasers, syrupy synths, and pounding kicks. Amsterdam's Bertram nudges the tempo up with the punchy "Clabo den bo caha di morto", a dusty take on electronica that means 'nail in your coffin' in his native Aruban language. Providing a momentary cleanse is Bill Converse through syncopated acid lines tied together by modulating pads and 909-like thuds on "System fun". Chris Mitchell returns to the label and delivers an insidious chugger that gradually reveals its sinister scorched-earth side with "Top 40 dancefloor".
"Down in the park" takes no prisoners and is a kaleidoscopic electro banger fitted with a droney synth and crunchy drums brought to us by London-based Chupacabras. Belarus' Elena Sizova slows things down with "G.S.V2", a psychedelic downtempo trip that inspires reflection and melancholy. "Foundation guilt" is a rolling acid bomb with watery lines and vocal samples by Berlin-based Jaundice that is coming to a dancefloor near you. JT Whitefield raises the temperature further with "Dead beat", an industrial behemoth with evocative strings over a seared wall of rhythm and textures. "A secret" sees Kosmik deliver an unforgiving acid thumper that tunnels through the body with rolling drums, subtle delayed vocal cuts, and distorted claps.
Prague-based Malachi Constant furthers the second half with the adventurous and aquatic "Whale Hunt", which packs massive 808s and intriguing passages that pull you into the abyss. "Monitor eyes" is a narcotic cut by Midnight Climax with wooden and metallic percussions accompanied by fleeting samples and lasers that leave room for the drone to roam free. The next track comes from O:M:E:N, who stuns the body with "SBTMSK", a distorted goa-inspired gem with ravey elements and piston-like hats and claps. Also returning to the label is the Detroit-native Robert E. Livingood with a hypnotic interstellar soundscape on what sounds like a 9/8 tempo.

Sons of Traders bless this release with their classic proto-inspired sound full of hard-hitting drums, synth-driven rhythm lines, and ominous vocal samples through "La repressione". Fresh off a recent album release on the label, the Russian producer Stas Zavyalov drops another relentless analog-powered bomb with "JSR 1202". TLXCO sets the scene in the closing moments with a spacey acid trip that sucks the listener into the void with "Don't talk to me". Closing off is veteran producer Vinilette with driving dark synths, gothic bells, and electro-tinted drums with "Nightmare".

THROUGH CONSUMPTION AND ENTERTAINMENT

PREMIERE: Bertram - Clabo Den Bo Caha Di Morto (SONS OF TRADERS RECORDS)

Buy here: https://pinkman.bandcamp.com/album/lights-out

Bertram debuts on Dutch cult label Pinkman Records. Fueled by nostalgia, 'Lights Out' aims to execute industrial old school dancehall and dub within a raw electronics framework. It combines old drum machines, vintage synths, acid bass lines, Sherman-laced vocals by Bertram and the people in his life, and clever approaches to the creative process and production. He believes in a ''it takes a village" approach and worked closely with label head Marsman to iterate the project. The release is blessed by remixes courtesy of C.L.A.W.S. and Chris Mitchell.

Bertram - It's All Good (C.L.A.W.S. Remix) (PNKMN48)

MM PREMIERES are meant to transcend the ordinary and immerse themselves in the sacred realm of music, beholding the unseen and embracing the new melodic tapestry even before it unveils itself to the world. 

Bertram debuts on Milan-based Marguerite Records with 'Drone thugs & harmonies'. It appears on their latest compilation, MRG16, alongside Autums, Zarkoff, and others. The track packs intricate rhythmic work, heavy bass, murky sound design, and warped vocal patterns kept together by a continuous dub groove and storyline.

Marguerite Records proudly unveils its sixteenth release: a fresh compilation presented in a limited edition of 50 professionally dubbed tapes. Featuring contributions from Autumns, Bertram, Black Dot, German Army, Italian Massacres, Unconscious, Zarkoff, and Zona Utopica Garantita. All tracks meticulously mastered by Francesco Brini at Spectrum Mastering, accompanied by captivating artwork courtesy of Alessio Di Mezza. Duplicated with care in Milan, 2024.
