Swiss label Phantom Island's second compilation features 5 previously unreleased tracks from the label's roster. The A-side kicks off with L.A.-based Maraschino remixed by Fuga Ronto, a bass-laden treatment that nods to the dancefloor. Second is Zurich's own crooner who is looking for fun: Moreeats, remixed by label co-owner Kejeblos. This is groove-heavy business that will get stuck in your ears. The B-side leads into dreamier realms, starting with CCO (Florin Büchel) in his most cosmic acid outfit. Followed by Ethimm, whose contribution proves his ability to create a romantic genre mix on a carefully arranged mid-tempo tune. The EP is brought to a close by Lexx with a soothing instrumental that will take you safely through a gentle drizzle of rain. The cover artwork by artist Anna Hilti is a depiction of 6 orchid species that are in danger of extinction in Switzerland. Uncommon species for sure!

ANCPT011 Various Artists - Vol. 3

Throughout the 1980s, Michael Antener, born and raised in Bern, Switzerland, initiated an array of sonic endeavours in the realm of industrial, dark, aggressive music. Of his times as a post-apocalyptic hunter, he says today: "I found a musical niche where I could express myself, along with other people who were not afraid of dark themes. It would have been hard to sing about love in my music, so I included sounds and cries of pain taken from horror movies." 

It was a fortunate coincidence to come across one of his self-released records, the 1986 EP "Strangler of the Swamp", which marked the beginning of our quest to find this all but forgotten musician whose work seemed nowhere to be found. Eventually, we got in touch with Michael, who is still living in Bern, and began the process of searching through all his surviving musical and visual material. 

The triple vinyl release is all about documenting Michael Antener’s adventures during that intense 1980s period. We tried our best to select the most interesting material from his two earliest projects, "The Strangler of the Swamp" and "Bande Berne Crematoire", comprising materials from vinyl records, cassettes, and live recordings, some of it unreleased. The release also includes a deep dive into Michael’s visual archive of posters, photos, and sleeve artworks. 

The disjointed, tumultuous body of work presented here marks the testament of a fringe musician who was disruptive and confrontational, keen to shock and alarm people (much to our liking), and who could easily have been lost in oblivion.

a live set i played at Zentralwäscherei for "Cosmic feat. CB Lab live"among other talented amores from the CB Lab Community. 

"arrímate" means come closer and in this set i explored coming closer to myself again. In one of the included Flamenco-lyrics it says "Who will brush your hair (...if not me?)" and i can proudly say that i am now fully capable of brushing my own hair!

arrímate – Live @Cosmic 14.09.2024, Zentralwäscherei Zürich

In the previous episode, the Vibracid technique was discovered as a way to deactivate memories imposed by technocratic elites.

Now, with VIBRACID 2, its real deployment begins: a series of sonic attacks targeting control systems through rave vibrations.

Each track is a weapon. Each producer, a node of resistance. “Vibracid Advent,” the single that launched the assault, opens the mini album with acidic force — delivering the first sonic strike that breaks through imposed control. From the acidic and powerful aggression of Calagad 13 (Spain), through the modular precision and acid techno of C.C.O (Contra Communem Opinionem, Switzerland), to the dark, industrial electro of Mokotron (New Zealand). Atix brings the French 90s rave energy; Wicked Wes, from Florida (USA), builds grooves with bifasic rhythms and glitch textures; and Romphea (Greece) closes with distorted breaks exploring chaos and sonic escape.

Careful sound and mastering, and exceptional design for a limited edition of 150 copies on solid red vinyl.

▶︎ PRESS NOTE ▼▼▼

The Vibracid operation has cracked the code. With control systems collapsing, the third transmission pierces the very fabric of reality, unleashing patterns that overflow any known algorithm. 

From Earth to the far reaches of the interplanetary galactic network, six architects of sound unite to chart routes beyond logic: corrosive FM sequences, blasts of mutant acid, haunting vocoders, and electromagnetic pulses engineered to infiltrate both bodies and machines. Each track is a node in the insurgent network, an access point to the domain where matter, music, and mind can no longer be separated.

Careful sound and mastering, and exceptional design for a limited edition of 150 copies solid orange vinyl.

ANCPT014 CCO - Cosmic String EP (Analog Concept)

And the Patching Workout continues. So far, I started the year with a no input reverb / resonator feedback loop, so let’s continue that tradition. I wanted to give this a try with the Space Echo and Cwejman QMMF4, so here is the RE201 QMMF Loop.

The patch is fairly simple. For the feedback loop, we have the QMMF4 main MMF output going to a Warm Audio WA76 for some compression. From there, it goes to the RE201 and then back into the modular to the QMMF main audio input (using an Intellijel Audio Interface for going in and out of the rack). The internal RE201 feedback is not used, a slight bit of the RE201 spring verb is added. The main QMMF notch out is used for recording. It’s routed through a Doepfer A199 first for some further spring reverb outside the feedback loop, into a GAP Pre73 DI input for some gain (as it was a bit quiet after adjusting everything nicely), and finally to a Mutator to smooth out the highs a bit and for some mono to stereo conversion and LFO panning (also a bit of envelope following on the filters - you can hear it all working on the noisefloor, haha). It was harder than I expected to get the gainstaging right without killing the loop or just utter destruction, but in the end I got something that I enjoyed. 

In terms of CV, we have a Cwejman RG6 at the center of everything. A bit like the Reverse Cwejman Krell patch, the RG6 provides the main clock and triggers a CTG-VC, which controls the main QMMF VCA (and thus the dynamics within the feedback loop). The RG6 random saw modulates the RG6 clock for the bursts; to get the dynamic envelope, the inverted random saw is attenuated on a VCA4MX and controlling the CTG attack and decay rates. Thus, the envelope times get faster when the clock gets faster. The normal S/H output of the RG6 modulates the main QMMF frequency. 

Finally, a PH8 controls all individual QMMF frequencies with the sine outputs and two of the QMMF bands with two (90° spaced) saws. It’s synced from the RG6 gate with gate sync, creating kind of a “LFO delay” effect (in combination with the gate length on the RG6). The PH8 is FMed from the RG6 random saw so that it also gets faster according to the clock and envelope. The quadrature sines produce the “delayed” sweeps and the saws the plops.

On the recording, I mainly tweak the QMMF frequencies and resonances (all bands are set to BP filter and in resonator mode to see how it compares with the RES4). Little bit of cutting out some boring things afterwards and some reverb, delay, EQ and compression as usual. 

Hope you enjoy it and cheers!
