Void Vision is a Philadelphia-based electronic project helmed by Shari Vari. It began around 2009 at a time when a wave of synth-revivalists were materializing, but the quality of the songwriting and intense vocals set the band apart from the pack. In a rare instance, Void Vision has managed to combine vintage dance elements with melodic structures, haunting melancholy, and lyrics that have a palpable soul. The songs themselves are dynamic, referencing a cross-section of the last 30 years of electronic music, while simultaneously retaining a uniqueness all their own.

Wierd Records weekly club night in New York, which showcased a variety of talented electronic and coldwave artists, served as an incubator for Void Vision in it’s early stages. After a standout debut performance at the club, they immediately caught the attention of Blind Prophet Records, who consequently released their first 7″ single, ‘In 20 Years’, which received excellent reviews.

Vari has continued performing and recording steadily over the last few years, releasing songs on compilations for various labels, including Rough Trade, and in 2012 the song ‘Everything is Fine’ was selected for Artforum magazine’s ‘Best of 2012′ issue. In 2013, Void Vision toured the West Coast and later that year released a split 12″ with Portland-based band, Vice Device. The first official full-length album, entitled ‘Sub Rosa’ is set to debut on Berlin-based Mannequin Records, followed by a European tour in 2015.

Shari Vari formed Void Vision in 2009 originally as a duo, during the explosion of the new minimal synth and cold wave scene in United States. Sharing the same scene of the Wierd Records associates like Led Er Est, Martial Canterel, Xeno & Oaklander, Automelodi, in 2010 VV released ‘In Twenty Years’ on Blind Prophet (Sean Ragon’s Cult Of Youth record label), receiving also the attention of the Rough Trade dudes, who asked to put out a track for one of their synth wave compilations.
After other split vinyls, tapes and compilations, Mannequin approached Shari with the intention to continue what Wierd Records started, giving a proper shape to her beautiful and youthful dark electronic sound. The result is 10 hypnotic cold analog tracks dominated by the warm and fragile Shari’s voice, some more “pop orientated” some others belonging to the original “cold wave” atmosphere.

“Sub Rosa” is an edition of 400 copies on 160 gram black vinyl and 100 copies on 160 gram white vinyl.

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

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.

When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro," and our second release is proving to be the sort of acid ridden, industrial nightmare journey to the heart of dystopia that only Dr Thompson could possibly have conjured. 

Hamburg duo Fallbeil kick things off with a crunchy acid monster that twists and turns and burns  with an unhinged energy. This is followed by two killer proto-techno cuts from legendary French industrial band Die Form from their 1985 tape Hurt, tracks which have never appeared on vinyl before. Here we find ourselves in an unsettling scenario with metallic voices scowling over clanging machines in a cracked up way that makes John Carpenter seem like afternoon tea with your mum. The mysterious Slugbug (who recently released on L.I.E.S. and Russian Torrent Versions) starts the flip with "GOBACK”, a creeping acidic beast with it's head down, moving unstoppably forward as a reverberating voice ripples throughout. Any calm is then shattered by IBM a.k.a. Mathematics boss Jamal Moss whose remix of Die Form hammers home a tough seven minutes of mangled synths, bubbling acid and thundering drums. 

Once again everything is in plain sight.

For our inaugural release we voraciously present a dusty tape featuring Contort Yourself label boss (and also one half of post punk duo Women's Hour) Murray CY and his misadventures with some quasi electronic not quite post punk under the dubious guise, Model Stress.


"with a mumble and a fumble, communication is the key to model stress, but sadly the key is stuck in the lock.

listen as he takes the smallest of issues and turns them into huge pantheons of insignificance.

hearing is not believing my friends and believing spelled backwards is gniveileb which contains the veil that hides a thousand ancient secrets, and one mundane one which most people actually know.

tears...

but the show must not go on, and so it does..."
