The first Electronic Emergencies release of 2021 is by Chris & Nogi, founders of the legendary Shoc Corridor. It reflects our love for minimal wave, simply called new wave back in the days. Released as a 10-inch, 'Autumn Rituals and Refugees' consists of eight tracks taken from 4-track-cassette tapes recorded in 1985-1988. Three of these are collaborations with avant-garde voice artist Sharon Gal. The original tapes, which had to endure a journey from London via Israel to South Africa, were beautifully restored by Ruud Lekx, who was able to retain the original sound and atmosphere. The cover art of 'Autumn Rituals and Refugees' was designed by Niels Vrijdag, exhibiting the DIY-mentality and modern living-fantasy of the music from the eighties.

MNQ 057 The Actor - Exploded View LP / Cassette

We are really proud to announce the reissue of one of the most important Dutch Wave bands THE ACTOR, with their seminal 1982 tape "EXPLODED VIEW". "In the beginning of the eighties, a new phenomenon emerged: home taping. This way of recording resulted in a lot of noise. But that was less important then getting one’s music out to the public. A well known label for cassette bands in those days was the dutch Trumpett Tapes. They were the first to publish the music of The Actor, who became their top selling cassette band in 1982 and 1983. The Actor’s first release was Exploded View in 1982. The songs – sung both in English and German – often related to fashion, modernism, dancing and appearence. This made The Actor “quite fashionable."

LP Edition of 500 copies.
Tape Edition of 120 copies.

Limited silskcreen art edition for the first 50 copies, 160 gram white vinyl.

Remastered from the original tapes by Rude 66, The Netherlands, 2014.

More rusty and hypnotic sounds are brought by DJ soFa and his newest compilation, Elsewhere LVI. Released on Emotional Response, the 4th compilation of SoFa’s series is meant to move us to the gloomier part of his 12 track travelogue.
Lamusa II and his track Artificiale moves organic sound waves accompanying them with rhythmic shady synth pads, turning our listening journey to somewhat uneasy, yet fascinating trip across the jungle of sleazy and meditative notes.  Elsewhere LVI will come out on Emotional Response.

On ‘Redeux’ ‘Penelope Two’s’ themes of life and death and of hope and dismay are still prevalent, being brought to the surface in a myriad of ways.  

On this SoundCloud stream, Throbbing Gristle’s Cosey Fanni Tutti’s dystopian, avant-garde and jazz tinged electronics are deployed alongside her signature Cornet to flip the album single ‘Carry Me’.    

After the release of her sublime, critically acclaimed sophomore solo album ‘Penelope Two’, Penelope Trappes and Houndstooth are pleased to announce ‘Redeux’; an album of top-drawer reworks of tracks from ‘Penelope Two’, which showcase not only the intrinsic brilliance of Penelope’s composition and performances, but also her far-reaching and all-encompassing musical influences and significance. 

“There were no preconceived notions of how the reworks would work together, just total freedom. I’m absolutely in love with all of these! I never really thought I’d get the chance to collaborate with such an array of creative artists who have inspired me, but at this point, I’ve learned to never say never” explains Penelope.

Penelope signed to Houndstooth in 2018 and released her sophomore LP (and photo book) ‘Penelope Two’ in October 2018. The minimalist, ethereal album was built around field recordings, meditations, guitars, synth drones, piano and reverb, and deals with mortality, predestination and empathy. Previously known for her work in the electronic duo The Golden Filter”

Under the latter moniker the duo released albums with Brille, Vinyl Factory and Optimo that were praised by The FADER, Pitchfork, NME, Gorilla Vs Bear and Resident Advisor. Additional endeavours included sound-tracking short films and feature films and are currently releasing new material.

When not making music Penelope works on photography, video and performance art as part of a visual arts collective, Agnes Haus.

Limited reissue of this obscure industrial-no wave record released in 2006. Due to reaction of people about "Rug", which fastly became an anthem for curious minds and unconventional dj's, both Robert Schalinski and Saulk from Mélodies Souterraines thought the rest of album should get more interest. 12 years later, we're happy to announce this reprint, which keeps original artwork and label design. Simon, The Exchange worked on remastering each tracks from original tapes. LIMITED TO 150.

The CHEN YI Commune (1978-1984)
The Chen Yi Commune was founded in 1978 by about 20 women & men from London & the surrounding area. The building of the commune, an old school in Chelmsford, was located on vast premises & was encircled by a wall. The aim of the commune was to create a closed subsystem, a kind of subsociety and to narrow down its contact to the outside world only on very few specific actions. Life in the commune was lead hermetically closed. All circuits, the food, culture and communication circuits had to be self-contained.
The influence of the outside world on the inner life of the commune & vice versa, was controlled. Actions aimed at the outside world were directed towards specific persons.
Due to the hermetically closed life within the commune during the first years, there were almost never problems with the local population. Not until 1982, after some members had intensified their public communication, it came to a brief, open conflict at the end of which stood the breakup of the commune and the destruction of the house in 1984.

About these recordings:
Most documents on this release were recorded in the Chen Yi commune with a Studer A80 MkIV2“ 16 track with Dolby SR.
These early tapes were never completed or mastered by Chen Yi. Partly they include unfinished session recordings or notes. That’s why a heavy post processing was necessary, sometimes even reconstruction. For years I was looking for the right equipment to listen to and mix the approximately 30 tapes. There were approximately 55 audio cassettes on top of that, with uncut recordings from the commune, from the so called „rounds“, the sessions and so forth. My father left me a tumultous accumulation of recordings, creasy & stuck together tapes that were for some curious reason been recorded using the most expensive studio technology you could get back then. However, none of the musicians had learn how to use it.
The Chen Yi commune never was interested in producing records, some of the members even refused any form of release whatsoever. In 1981 one member (Chen 8) released a tape edition called „Hanging“. The title referred to the first 3 english witches who were hanged in Chelmsford, where the commune house was located.
This cassette was sent to various record companies. John Peel saw a potential in Chen Yi which led to a recording contract in 1982/83 with CBS. About 7 tracks were produced for the first Chen Yi LP „The Rape“ in 1982. Basic lines were recorded at the Chen Yi studio in Chelmsford. For 2 tracks the end production was completed at the Trident Studios, London. More couldn’t be finalised, because CBS suddenly pulled out of the contract. This left unfinished tapes of an LP & an EP (3 tracks for a planned Peel Session, 1983), on which partly only drum computer & synthesizer can be heard as a basic pattern.
