ALIEN 👽 SOUNDS

tecnicaly-hi-techno

''When you're alone and life is making you lonely.

You can always go…''

Far beneath ivory towers in the seedy underbelly of the city, where neon flashes and the real wildlife lurks, there's a house of ill-repute where hungry pleasure seekers enact their sordid fantasies. In this nocturnal playground, the ringleader rattles his cage, struts and gyrates, while drums slam hard against the rafters and pound deep into the night.

Kelan's debut solo outing is seven tales of sleazy noir, vice and earthly transgression - along the way taking a verbal match to the flag, spitting venom at vampiric landlords and erupting into lewd, schoolyard chants.

Join in the decadence and debauchery 'Downtown'.

''How can you lose…?''

“When you’re alone and life is making you lonely.
You can always go…”

Further Downtown
Deeper into the gritty and sordid underworld Kelan dragged us kicking-and-scream into last time. We’re are met with a hedonistic entourage that lurk in the dark corners of his neon lit playpen. One by one, each gang member shows off their signature moves and special weaponry.

7 tales of seedy noir this time remixed, re-fixed and chopped up and snorted by some of Downtowns most notable inhabitants. Once you go this far into Downtown, there’s no telling what might happen…

“How can you lose…?”

Further Downtown

Kelan - Further Downtown (BNC009) Preview

What defines us if not an ongoing exploration of the peaks and valleys of our existence?

We ascend brief summits of joy to descend into the profound depths where our fears reside. It's in those moments when we choose to gaze into the ever-shifting forms and faces of our inner demons. We find ourselves embracing them, breathing alongside them, gradually gaining awareness before ascending once more.

Achieving freedom from obsessions demands a willingness to bear them for eternity.

Here lies the contemplation: to linger in a superficial unawareness or to fully immerse ourselves in the turbulent sea facing our own shadows.

Within each of us resides a unique response; contemplate and choose your own.

Odd Shy Guy - Hikindub (BNC010) Preview

Soundtrack for renegades and ravers...who find life in the shadows of the night and claim their lives outside the lines.

When Nascent Drive arrives, it will pulse through the underground with 13 tracks, each drenched in raw, acid-laced energy that feels like it’s been stomped over by muddy boots at a Spiral Tribe rave.

From the smoky build-up of ‘Sarah’ to the seismic hits of ‘Thursday’ and ‘Flake,’ this album will pave a path for the defiant, the fearless, those with a taste for the gritty heart of electronic music.
A road for those who never settle, where each beat fuels an insatiable drive for what’s real, for what’s just out of sight.

This album isn’t here to follow trends, it’s here to stomp its own path.

Title: Missterspoon - Nascent Drive LP

ALTZMUSICA  white color 12” vinyl by KETA RA, a Japanese naturalist, musician & guitarist, including remixes by CALM & ALTZ

KEITA RA has ever released 2 albums, “ALBUM” from AIUEO RECORDS including remixes by ALTZ & YAKENOHARA, and “Rinth” from WOOD FRAME, a unique label in Osaka.   Track 1 on the A side sounds like water is flowing and the guitars & groove are gradually throbbing.  Track 2 is a remix by ALTZ, in which he has created a visional space, a magical sound world rousing imaginary music.  On the B side is a house remix by CALM.  It is a synthesizer work and a modern Balearic trance track that has sublimed paradisiacal, positive euphoria in the powerful dance groove.

I-F Fuckin Consumer (DB69) released on Disko B Records

Info: 
In the Netherlands some neophile named I-f was fed up with the same old techno 'movement'. This in mind he added some fairly unorthodox dimensions to this gathering, forever changing its course. With primitive electronic equipment I-f transferred sounds from the 80s to the here and now. And by chance, he landed a hit. "Space Invaders are Smoking Grass" is I-f´s entry to Electro-anthem status. Like Funk never happened. 

This is family fodder for dance crazes, for lovers of 'alternative' music, for the whole scattered techno community, as well as for the homelistener who likes to smoke a cigar when hearing 'strange' sounds on the sofa. I-f´s versatile approach to music can't be measured with just this one track. His first full length album on Disko B records proves the point. Fucking Consumer is pretty strong stuff. Electro-nix pure and clear. No nice recycled retro package. It's out of it, sails in its own universe, because it doesn't rely on others.

The overall mood is well-tempered, it seems to be playing along some sound history. Next thing you know, Fucking Consumer is exploding into bursts of noise - what a pleasure. Track by track I-f demands the attention of the listener anew. The final countdown occurs in a little gothic interlude with G.D. from L.A.'s Christian Death delivering the vocals. This Record was the start of a series of records by I-f (I-F – The Man From P.A.C.K, 1999, The Parallax Corporation – Cocadisco in 2003). There were massive records following this pioneer advance and a first clash on electro was done long before Larry T was dreaming of creating electro-clash.


I-F - Space Invaders Are Smoking Grass

River City

The relationship between Norm and Core is in terms of sunlight playing over a mountain and a valley. Norm is the brightly lit portion, Core is the dark area occluded by the mountain's bulk. As the sun moves across the sky, Norm and Core gradually trade places with each other, revealing what was obscured and obscuring what was revealed.

Norm is solid, focused, hot, dry, and active.

Fire - Sky - The sun - Daytime.

Core, by contrast is yielding, cold, wet.

Water - Earth - The moon - Night time.

Six tracks on 12" Ep with various artists & melted brains. 
Norm side see Itinerant Dubs release for the first time NOT on their own label, dub dance recorded straight on tape and heavy analogue equipment involved. 
Able Mutable come from Kreggo that shares his visions and feelings, an escalation of drums for the fella behind Secret Rave, the side closes with Rose Again flying solo and inspired dub intercourse. 
Core side starts with a no compromise Rave & heavy kicks journey from the technology rebel Katatonic Silentio, and ends with a smooth Techno dub illusions with trippy twist from Gang of Ducks boss, Sabla. In the middle of this side back with a new electronics, Odd Shy Guy & Rose Again touched by the mysterious Diastema on the mix.

Pangaea - 22 October 2019

Avion

Things had changed since people had got word of the untouched beauty of this forest. Once it had been home to all manner of birds, bugs and animals, blissfully unaware that they would soon be pushed out of their home in favour of humanity. Where tree branches once sprawled and thick green ivy had laced its way into the crumbling brickwork of ancient pathways, now glass buildings towered overhead and chain coffee shops teamed with tourists getting their morning caffeine fix. Regeneration had taken over, gentrification had creeped in. The endless battle of man vs nature.

For their seventh release, Vienna-based imprint Belly Dance Services enlist the talents of Mexico's Bufi AKA Theus Mago. Titled Baile Muerto, the EP flaunts Bufi's signature take on modern dance music; at times dark and hypnotic and at others bright, percussive and tropical-tinged. Both original tracks on the release are backed up by two remixes, one from label heads Hanzo & Yaman and another by Multi Culti boss Thomas Von Party.
