An Inquisite Taste

A Profusion Of Deliverance

We are glad to introduce your our first premiere on Initiatives Studio, ‘Warmth’ from Man + Machine featured on Brutal Forms’ Psychostasia Vol.1 / Vol.2 VA.

DJ, producer, music selector born in the ‘80s, addicted to post industrialism, cyberpunk, futurism and neon lights, Man + Machine combines the sounds of Industrial Music, EBM, Techno, Metal, Post-Punk and Dark wave and he creates a world between the years he was born and the days he lives in, a world, where passion, sorrow, dreams and violence are transforming into musical aesthetics from rave to rave.
With an artistic line inspired by darkness and intense emotions, his music can be described as a blend of the sounds of love and death, the sense of joy and rage.

WORRY

We are thrilled to announce our first release as a label.

Inspired by the winter sunrises in the city of Porto, MURK AT DAWN VA marks the beginning of a new chapter in the electronic music scene, embracing the passion for the obscure and its intrinsic beauty. 

The first release by the newly established Rapture label consists of a spatial composition from Maria Callapez that inherits the melancholy from those foggy mornings, followed by the intensity and vigor from two renowned Georgian artists, Hecate Legacy and Downwell. 

To fulfill the work from the previous producers, Alessandro Adriani presents us some of his dark hypnotic finest art, preceded by the industrial and vibrant pace of the Portuguese Dust Devices, a sonority already considered his trademark.

Downwell - On The Silk Road

5 year anniversary of Phase Fatale's first album on Berghain's in-house label Ostgut Ton repressed in special pink marble vinyl on his label BITE. Out February 14th

Phase Fatale - Binding by Oath

The album TERRA MALEDICTA is the first in a series of four albums that evoke the elements of a cursed and putrefied planet, in a time when the future appears uncertain and the world as we know it approaches an abyss.

The new VA by Rapture features also artists such as Kara Konchar, Mogano, Nghtly, Punshukunshu, Revolt, and Ruben Seoane in another compilation where the aesthetics of obscurantism serve as the guiding theme to mesmerize listeners.

Nghtly - Everything Takes Shape

One More Night

This is a mix Blackmass Plastics did in 2007 of the 1998 tune Anti-Christ by CF and Pure (Sub/Version 002 and later on Sub/Version 012) simply to play out at parties on dubplate. So it's not a finished release and is meant to be mixed with other tracks. Here for the first time and temporarily online.

An obituary for Ian Miley aka Blackmass Plastics written by The Reverend is about to be published on the Datacide website.

GENESA013V B1 Scalameriya - Spire.Warden.Arcane.Gate...

BITE is the Berlin-based techno label co-founded by Hayden Payne (aka Phase Fatale) in 2018. Beginning with the debut collaborative EP by Silent Servant & Phase Fatale, the label aims to platform artists who operate outside the conventional preconceptions of techno and are united by an ambition to push the boundaries of electronic music. This drive is further exemplified by regular showcases at renowned institutions Berghain, Basement, and Tbilisi’s KHIDI as well as a multitude of clubs throughout Europe, Asia, and the Americas.

With a vast artist roster from stalwarts such as Ron Morelli and Teste to contemporary talent from the likes of Pablo Bozzi and Gael, the eclectic variety of releases touches upon a range of styles along the moodier fringes of electronic music. BITE has proved itself as the imprint to watch. Fresh off the heels of their 5 year anniversary in 2023 culminating in the acclaimed triple LP compilation ‘Shedding Skin,’ BITE moves into more dancefloor territory with their next releases by label head Phase Fatale and remixes by Rrose. The display of the music is also represented in its visual prowess with cutting designs and colorways intended to take the sound into another dimension. From proper techno to synthpunk and to sparse minimalist industrial, BITE never fails to deliver fresh and razor-sharp sounds tying together the narrative of dance music.
