WORKS OF INTENT - Winning Dulls The Pain

"I've always loved mistakes; it's the hidden beauty in all art" - Andrew Weatherall

Transparent Sound are the original dons of UK electro, not exactly household names yet an act with so many under-repped classics that once you dive into their catalogue you might end up emptying your bank account on Discogs. 

To save you going down this calamitous path as well as to finally, raise TS to the level of notoriety they deserve, Tresor Records is very proud to announce the release of Accidents 1994-2023.

Formed by Orson Bramley and Martin Brown in Bognor Regis in 1994, Transparent Sound have managed to create 30 years' worth of some of the best electro from the British Isles, despite claiming to not know what they were doing nor how their instruments work. 

It's likely that it's this lack of knowledge that led to the quality and longevity of their output - the pair experiment and tinker with the machines until something pleasing appears then follow that sound down whatever path seems fruitful: "the confidence of ignorance" as a slightly more-famous Orson, Orson Welles, once put it. 

This tactic has paid off well and found them stumbling into many notable adventures, from remixing The Cure to performing during an intermission between two halves of a lecture - none of which they understood as it was in Spanish.

The compilation collects a lucky-for-you 13 of their most glorious electrical accidents on a three-disc set including the dancefloor hits Punk Mother Fucker (a mainstay of Villalobos sets at the time of release), and No Call From New York (as heard on Helena Hauff's perfect 2017 Essential Mix).

The package also comes with 'Windows To Your Sole' from the unreleased white label Transparent Sound 007, other unreleased tracks, and special 2023 edits as well as six digital bonus tracks.

PREMIERE: Transparent Sound - No Call From New York (Acid Mix)

Citizens Of Vice returns from its summer jaunts with the mini comp ‘“Meraki’ a rather lovely collection of eclectic aural pleasures.  

Meraki is a greek word that does not really translate very well into English. Although hard to define it’s closest meaning would be “When you leave a piece of yourself, your soul, creativity, and love in what you do. To put a little bit of yourself into something”. This quote sums up how all involved feel about this release.

Crooked Man, Mass Density Human, Sons Of Dub, Lanowa, Offshore & Coen and Staccatoman are the talented folks behind the music and all offer something very different.

Next up on Allergy Season, a sure fire mend for any auditory cuts and scrapes left by mediocre club tracks: "OOF" by Alex Falk. 5 cool, complex techno explorations by the Knoxville-based producer and DJ. 

Falk first made his mark in techno during the early twenty-teens with appearances on a tightly knit group of Southeastern US labels including Proper Trax and CGI Records. Born and raised well outside the established bases for electronic music in the Northeast and the Midwest, Falk absorbed the sounds of Miami bass and electro compilations that occasionally made their way to local CD stores. Falk eventually discovered the world of forest raves and Goa Trance that flourished in nearby Asheville, North Carolina. The scene was a bastion of weirdo electronic music that thrived just as raves began to lose hold in cities across the region. Falk eventually moved on from the Trance sphere and focused his energies back home in Knoxville, founding the TEKNOX party series with a group of friends. 7 years of hard work and forward thinking booking allowed the party and the scene in Knoxville to grow, connecting with like minds throughout the Southeast and becoming part of a grassroots revival of underground dance music throughout the US. 

On his first EP for Allergy Season, Falk processes synthetic sounds until they take on near organic texture, creating hypnotic and psychedelic tracks that deftly bang. Opener "OOF" is a broken-beat techno opus awash in evolving synth tones and skittering stereo hi-hats. "Self" counters with a hooky vocal samples and an upbeat 909 pump. In the center of the EP "Lift" and "Mark" move deeper into the wormhole, painting intricate detail on surging rhythms. Falk closes with "MUU", an oceanic techno track that hits with wave after wave of interwoven melody until the tension releases with a head-spinning pad.
