"For our second release, circuit|breaker quips back the stacked offering of CBRK001 with another dynamic double LP, exhibiting some of the best local and international talent that’s cropped up on our radar over recent years.

The label is as driven as ever to build a bridge between our community and the wider electronic music domain, giving artists a platform to preach the sound that speaks to them, and this release is but another stepping stone towards greatness, for us and for them.

CBRK002 opens up with a rolling, gritty number that could only be Fergus Sweetland, as metallic voices beckon forth on ‘Untitled (ARP 1.02)’. Hasvat Informant, whose thunderous reputation precedes him, then storms the barn with the explosive ‘Abispa Ephippium’. The B-side shifts gears to Goa’s Dotdat and his frantically groovy track ‘Holo’, followed by a gorgeous minimal number by Berlin-based Pino Peña – Mia’s Pocket; one that’s sure to get summer dancefloors pumping.

The C-side of the record contains two heaving tracks, the C1 from the prominent force of Cloudy Ku with ‘A Room of One’s Own’, and the C2 from the dark visage that is disgrays with ‘Turmstraße’. The final side of the record has Amsterdam legend Juan Sanchez open the filter with a warm, jacking submission in ‘Indulge’, while the Berliner Marsch takes us home with a devious timbre that will have bodies glued to the floor on ‘Into You."

Returning to his roots in live production, OTON shares the 4-track EP Aurora on his imprint Alliance Club. Following his previous neo-rave stylings on the label, Aurora is the product of hours spent in OTON's Brussels-based studio, where he worked with a DAW-less setup and a newly acquired tangle of gear. Such tools remained instrumental in crafting the sonically rich textures of Aurora and OTON's forthcoming album, New Forms Of Silence, drawing from a palette of mental techno, hypnotic tribe, and psy tek. Two tracks from the album—due for release in spring 2025—feature on Aurora, comprising the title track and 'Voltage Controls'. 

"I have always wanted to explore modular synthesisers and polyrhythmic sequencing, but I wanted to inject some of the sounds I've worked with previously, like psychedelic and trippy techno," says OTON. "So I built a modular and produced the album with it. I locked myself in my flat for three or four months and went into a full analogue workflow. Producing with hardware and machines is more natural and enjoyable for me. I'm more creative. And because my background is in composing and performing in bands, Aurora and New Forms Of Silence mark my return to the live set and my musical origins, and a new direction in my sound and process, shifting further and further away from the DAW." 

Fusing a misty soundscape with sheets of squelch, 'Aurora' opens the EP on a beatless note before morphing into a gnarly curveball, formed by an eerie violin-like melody, rubbery drums and squiggly motifs, provoking an atmosphere that's equal parts sharp, sinister and soft. 

On 'Quad Funktion', OTON whips up warbling polyrhythms and tinkling sonic FX, coalescing into an intricate tapestry of psychedelic ambience and relentless technoid drums. While there's no dramatic breakdown to signify a gear change, it's not needed. This is a wormhole for those hazy moments on the dancefloor post-sunrise. 

Shaped by a witchy backdrop and murky bassline, 'Full Reset' meshes visceral sounds that span gurgles and squirmy synths, writhing like snakes between leathery drums. Ideal for swift left-turns into darker, moodier territories. 

Closing out the EP on 'Voltage Controls', which features on OTON's upcoming album in Spring 2025, a combination of horn-like motifs, a melancholic melody and a glitchy soundscape form a fierce and fiery alchemy, building to an urgent, claustrophobic nightmare—a potent teaser of what else OTON has lined up on New Forms Of Silence.
