Release Info :

Blackploid - Enter Universe 

Blackploid has become one of Central Processing Unit’s stalwarts in the past couple of years. Martin Matiske’s project contributed a trio of EPs to the Sheffield label across 2021 and 2022, with each of them showing off the kind of electro chops and production sensibilities that made Blackploid an ideal fit for an imprint which also boasts the likes of Cygnus, Silicon Scally and Bochum Welt among its catalogue.

Now, for CPU’s first release of 2023, Matiske levels things up with the debut Blackploid LP Enter Universe. Across these twelve tracks, Matiske leaves us in no doubt that he’s a prime mover in the world of modern electronic music. Enter Universe does not let up from start to finish, delivering a dozen pieces of leftfield electro that draws from the sound’s greats while also showcasing an unpredictability and flair that is all of Blackploid’s own.

The tone is set from the first frosty chords of opening cut ‘Pulsation’. The track traverses the starscape on pitter-patter drums and chirruping synths, a lively and slightly dystopian roller with an adventurous undercurrent reminiscent of classic Rephlex drops. It’s a style which Blackploid often draws for throughout the rest of Enter Universe, albeit with elements added or subtracted at each stage.

Indeed, this album features some of the most unusual production you will hear on any record this year. While the grooves pulse away in a manner reminiscent of Drexciya or Legowelt, Blackploid layers the mixes with a whole cornucopia of synth tones. ‘The Mission’ boasts a bleep-bloop breakdown that sounds like malfunctioning rotary telephones; ‘Silent Room’ is a ghoulish jam which harks back to Warp’s legendary Artificial Intelligence compilations; ‘Automatik’ and ‘Wormhole’ are defined by some brilliantly strange low-ends - you’ll be thinking of Mr. Oizo’s ‘Flat Beat’ with the wiggly former, while the gurgling, writhing anti-lead that dictates ‘Wormhole’ is oddly thrilling and more than befits the track’s title.

This inventive approach is also apparent in some of the structural choices on Enter Universe. While the tracks here all keep a steady, dancefloor friendly pulse, several of them surprise you by switching up the approach after a minute or two. ‘Pulsation’, ‘Automatik’ and ‘The Mission’ all feature moments where a new element - extra hi-hats, a synth line entering from leftfield - inject fresh impetus into the tune to keep the listener on their toes.

Blackploid may push the sonic envelope on Enter Universe, but this does not mean there is no room for melody. In particular, the cuts here which most strongly channel ‘Computer World’-era Kraftwerk do so by fronting some slyly tuneful work, particularly in the low end of the mix. ‘Unidentified’ serves up delightfully springy chords, ‘Cell Mutation’ leads from the bassline, and ‘Space Curve’ features little cells of melody and counter-melody working together to close Enter Universe out on a high.

Blackploid’s debut LP Enter Universe marries Drexciyan electro and Warp-school electronica with some brilliantly inventive production choices.

TL PREMIERE : Blackploid - Silent Room [Central Processing Unit]

you gonna carry that weight

Early influenced by Belgian and UK Old School Rave sound, Chris Nexus 6 has been gravitating around the electronic scene since 1995. Co-founder of a weekly electronic show on a local radio station in the suburbs of Paris for more than 10 years, Chris gradually abandoned the Acid/Transcore style of his beginnings in favor of a cold and hard-hitting Electro that he still mixes with passion today.

In parallel with his activities, Chris turned to writing musical chronicles for Atome.com (FR), Electro Alliance (US), or Electric Kingdom (US) blogs. Nowadays, he regularly signs artworks and illustrates record covers for some of his favorite labels: New Flesh Records, Rave Or Die, Zodiak Commune, Shipwrec, or Fundamental Bass Intelligence.

Which artist has influenced you the most?

- There are numerous but in Electro, I would name Anthony Rother. I used to listen to techno, acid and hardcore early in the 90's but when "Sex With The Machines" came out, it has been like a storm for me. Since then, I really changed my style and focused on Electro in its purest form.

Which artists/labels is more relevant to you now?

- Anthony Rother, for sure. He's still on top after all those years of production. I would also recommend my bro Umwelt and his labels (Rave Or Die / New Flesh). A killer for sure. And at the moment I'm really into Ole Mic Odd, Serge Geyzel and FracTal just to name... they all have an incredible sound!!

Release Info :

FONOME - Jesus is Watching [FONOS // FNS003]

'Jesus Is Watching' is Fonome's latest release, coming out in July on his own FONOS.

Fonome, formerly part of Seville’s legendary Union Records, is a well known figure of the Spanish underground scene, mixing a blend of Techno, Electro and darker sounds in his productions. With his latest release, JESUS IS WATCHING, Alfonso uses music to talk about humanity's duality: do we believe in the almighty gods and own the knowledge of truth, or do we believe in aliens and watch a lot of 90's movies and are therefore influenced by this imaginary?

The whole album is a mix of ambient, Electronica, Techno, Electro that conceptually are expressing Fonome's anger, doubts, thoughts. For example, Charlatan (the album's first single), is an attack to failed politicians and their actions. In the tracks you can hear samples of different speeches used to show the negative impact these are having on our society. 

The LP is a solid collection of tracks inspired not only by the philosophy behind the various concepts but also by Fonome's life working in the port amongst machineries, industrial equipment etc, that clearly are having an impact on the sound palette Alfonso has used whilst producing the tracks.

'Jesus Is Watching' comes out on July on FONOS. Keep an eye on the singles.

1. Nostromo
2. Out of Orbital
3. Floating in Nothingness

Andrew Red Hand - No War, part of Various Artists - Shipwrec Electro Sampler 1
Label: Shipwrec (Ship071). Release date : Nov 2023.

''Andrew Red Hand maintains the shadowy synthlines of Manasyt's Row Hammer, industrial undertones bubbling to the surface in distortion-soaked aggression. ''
Full EP tracklist :

A1 Serge Geyzel - Still There
A2 Endfest - La Chouffe
A3 Manasyt - Row Hammer
B1 Andrew Red Hand - No War
B2 Alpha Visitor - Inter Limit
B3 Jauzas The Shining - Shemale

''Electro is fundamentally modern. The coldness of the machine laid bare, a human attempt to express through circuits and wiring. Despite adhering to specific codes and norms, it is a sound that refuses to be pigeonholed. It is with this in mind that Shipwrec has collected a wealth of international talent to showcase their own vision of this bracing style. Serge Geyzel incises from the needle drop, the acid blistered "Still There" is sliced and quartered by scissoring snares. Endfest changes the trajectory with the modular warmth of "La Chouffe" before the lines change and Manasyt delivers the darkened angles and punishing percussion of "Row Hammer." Andrew Red Hand maintains the shadowy synthlines of his predecessor, industrial undertones bubbling to the surface in distortion-soaked aggression. The mood shifts with Alpha Visitor. Crystalline chords are punctured by crisp drum patterns, stabbing keys and broad arcs unveil a world of sci-fi inspirations. The finale comes from Jauzas the Shining. Broad sweeps introduce "Shemale" before dripping drums are countered by samples and icy blasts. Modern machine music from six masters.''
