B2) Broken

After the success of ‘A Is For Acid’ Perc Trax Ltd continues with the first ever collaboration between the London brutalist dream team of label boss Perc and regular Perc Trax artist Truss (R&S, Avian, OCS) for an EP of no-bullshit, hardware based techno. 

Three tracks, each recorded fully live in one take. No second attempts, no re-edits and no processing of the tracks after they were recorded. Add mastering by Matt Colton and you have one of Perc Trax's rawest releases so date. 

As with A Is For Acid the first pressing of this 12” will be on clear vinyl with a full colour double-sided artwork insert by Jonny Costello, who also created the artwork for Perc’s ‘Wicker & Steel’ and ‘Labour Division’ by Forward Strategy Group.

Perc Trax is proud to present the second and final part of the Perc Trax vs Pole Group EP series. The first part of the series featured Reeko, Perc, Sawf and Christian Wünsch and for this second EP the two labels pool their talents again and serve up tracks from Oscar Mulero, Forward Strategy Group, Exium and Manni Dee. 

As expected the Perc Trax contingent of label regulars Forward Strategy Group and new Perc Trax artist; Brighton-based Manni Dee take the tougher, more direct route whilst the contributions from Oscar Mulero and Exium balance things perfectly, toying with broken beat rhythms whilst floating dubbed-out atmospherics over the top. 

Each track operates perfectly as a separate entity but together the four tracks unite to form a perfect cross-section of some of the more innovative yet still dancefloor relevant techno being made today. 

This is the last Perc Trax or Submit release before Perc's second album 'The Power & The Glory' is released on February 17th.

I'd like to introduce you to Will Azada, Cubera's first new artist to join the ranks beyond myself. Will comes from the Southeastern region of the US--specifically from the unlikely burg of Knoxville, Tennessee--using its relative isolation from the wider "scene" to his advantage. Seamlessly blending his unique sound with a carefree mentality, Will has created an EP for Cubera that breaks the concept of the label's single-artist roots. This collection of tracks offers up a blend of party vibes with a little attitude to them. Some tracks are tools, others are meant to be front and center, and these would certainly serve as the latter. I hope you enjoy these as much as I have over the past months. 

Thanks for listening! 

Early support coming in from Slam, Alan Fitzpatrick, Stephan Bodzin, Anja Schneider, Pan-Pot, Marco Bailey, and many more.

Sawf, Perc Trax’s most mysterious artist returns to the label he calls home after EP’s for Modal Analysis, Audio Assault and M-Rec. This is his first new material for Perc Trax since his well received album ‘Flaws’ in 2011 and shows him introducing new influences to his trademark grinding, industrial sound.

First up is title track Menete, built around a 16th note synth line that recalls everything from classic EBM to more modern synth-led techno such as the recent Sleeparchive EP on Tresor.  Closing the a-side is Toolio, a far too modest title for a track that is far from a disposable techno tool.  An expert exercise in building percussion, this is closest to the sound people know from Sawf, but the best example of it yet.

Opening up the b-side is a remix from Yuji Kondo; know best for his work under both his own name and as half of Steven Porter on Semantica. The remix is everything you’d expect from Yuji. A wall of broken-beat noise topped off by cut up vocals samples and a fluid, ever-changing arrangement. Closing the 12” is ‘Diin’. A deeper, almost house-like cut from Sawf, building on a probing bass guitar line, proving he can do subtle and atmospheric as well as he does tough and confrontational.

Just a few years into their career, CLOUDS have already been playlisted and supported by some of the most respected heavyweights in electronic music. At 21 and 22, these Scottish prodigies have already developed a sound that has made fans out of Richie Hawtin, The Chemical Brothers, Marcel Dettmann, Michael Mayer, Sven Vath, Chris Liebing, Boys Noize and Martin Gore - a cross-section that reflects the range, quality and inventiveness of their music. All this attention through a rapid-fire succession of four singles on Tiga's Turbo Recordings. But these were mere club bombs: now the kids have grown up.
TURBO presents their debut album – GHOST SYSTEMS RAVE – an immersive 14-track journey into the heart of Techno's Future. This record should put CLOUDS in the ranks of the elite UK techno vanguard. Comparisons to the work of Blawan, Zomby, Actress are justifiable and inevitable. What is critical - and hopefully obvious to the careful listener - is that none of this is derivative. That these connections will be made simply speaks to the level of artistry on display, as opposed to any specific tricks, sounds or motifs. Wherever they try their hand, they find an original way forward. For instance, when they take on HARDCORE on the awesome FUTURE 1 and FUTURE 2, it is their own private resurrection of the spirit nexus heyday of early 90s UK jungle and techno, a historic time that also literally birthed both Liam and Calum. This is the sound of rave's undertow, dredging up toxic grit and grime, as well as beautiful shards and glimmers.
Almost nothing on this record is obvious. The melodies never resolve. The vocals are consistently unintelligible. The drums are at once dirty, punchy, and repetitive, but never too abrasive to put you off. The bass growls. Textures breathe, brush, grate and glisten. Everything sounds as though it exists in an alien world of impossible dimensions, complete with its own physics, logic and secrets. 
This record is more than fully formed. It's perfect. Made in a few weeks of total isolation in a barn in Scotland by two kids with a laptop and total conviction. Welcome to the FUTURE. It's theirs.
