For this @DarkScienceElectro premiere, we take a first listen to a track from a new label called @self-learning-system

Self Learning System present their very first record and deliver a new label focussing on conceptual work as well as interdisciplinary art in full effect. 

They believe in the human mind as a self-learning system - creators and originators connected all around the globe aiming to keep the scene alive. They want to cultivate a community and platform for exchange with other artists pursuing music, design, art, and events. 

Their first strike comes as “The Arrival Of Unisex & Ernst”, a split EP of the two label heads to introduce themselves and the sound of SLS. The record contains six analog hardware tools ranging from classic Electro to Industrial.

PREMIERE: DJ Unisex - No Escape (Self Learning System)

soustraitance-sstr.bandcamp.com/album/sstr-va01

After 4 years of rave parties in Lyon, the Spiral Dance crew just gave birth to the Sous Traitance label.

Throughout its first compilation – a strong selection of up-and-coming producers –, the collective gathered 30 minutes of fiery and experimental breakbeat, considerably influenced by the ‘90s wild energy.

Yet, the 6-track Various goes beyond showcasing an obvious inheritance from the UK early-rave era, perfectly embodied by Antoine 80 and Shcuro contributions. The 12” vinyl also blends genres from the past 3 decades - in the true spirit of the current French underground djing style -, as Jonnnah and Penelope’s Fiance both from the contemporary drum n bass scene codes, while DJ 8.6 drops a mid-2010s industrial downtempo burner, and Yolek even sounds to be inspired by the nasty, raw atmospheres of 2000s hip-hop.

Tracklist:

A1. JONNNAH - Routing End of Desert
A2. YOLEK - Aela
A3. ANTOINE 80 - Oula Oups!
B1. PENELOPE'S FIANCE - Transcending
B2. SHCURO - Carnation
B3. DJ 8.6 - ArgentFlamme

DT PREMIERE: Free Range - Rats On Coke [DKA Records] (2023)

One Eyed Jacks ceased activity in 2017 with a record by Photonz released under a different alias. It was the right time to let go: when the label started, in 2010, there were few electronic music labels in Portugal and a growing new wave of artists that needed to be documented and shown. Along the years, new labels - more capable ones - developed to cater to that need while projects like Rádio Quântica, co-founded by Photonz and Violet, seemed better instruments to carry on the vision of elevating and documenting a fledgling scene. But the itch for editorial expression was never gone and come 2023, One Eyed Jacks is back to life, animated by a renewed trust in the music and visions of how to apply its mysterious power to move, inspire and heal.

As the first single of a larger body of work to be presented later in the year, “Orpheus” is an expression of that same trust: no rushing, no over-production, no masking. Just a minimalistic dance track cooked up over an attempt to use the kick drum sample as also the source for the bassline and the melodies. The result is a bass-heavy, slow-paced house track with playful polyrhythmic layering and a melancholic emotional undertone. Adding to it we’ve got three exceptional producers on the remix: Lisbon’s Kara Konchar and Lake Haze, and Zambia’s SHE Spells Doom.

PREMIERE: Photonz - Orpheus (Lake Haze remix) (One Eyed Jacks)

Buy here: https://pinkman.bandcamp.com/album/lights-out

Bertram debuts on Dutch cult label Pinkman Records. Fueled by nostalgia, 'Lights Out' aims to execute industrial old school dancehall and dub within a raw electronics framework. It combines old drum machines, vintage synths, acid bass lines, Sherman-laced vocals by Bertram and the people in his life, and clever approaches to the creative process and production. He believes in a ''it takes a village" approach and worked closely with label head Marsman to iterate the project. The release is blessed by remixes courtesy of C.L.A.W.S. and Chris Mitchell.

The Prototype

The lights gleamed brightly through the factory windows. The building stayed open day and night, nobody ever clocked off. Hundreds of people worked the production line to make sure everything ran like a well-oiled machine. They went beyond their duty, it had to stay that way. If something were to fall short, technology could replace them in the blink of an eye...

For the inaugural release on their new label Balagan, American duo Joonam - the project of Elon Admony and Nima Khalilian - craft three electro cuts backed up by a remix from electro mainstay Silicon Scally. Following the pair's releases on Cultivated Electronics and Vakant, they decided to create Balagan as a platform for their own music and remixes from friends and artists they admire.
