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!

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)

Time for something a bit more melodic this month. I wanted to see how far I can get sequencing a bunch of different voices only with the Audio Damage Sequencer 1. I've used it for two voice patches all the time, with the latest update there's now a new mode that greatly simplifies note entry into the CV out lines. 

It's all fairly simple subtractive patching and rather straightforward. So first we have a two osc paraphonic voice: Two Cwejman VCO6 are sequenced with the main pitch and the first CV out, going through a Cwejman MMF6 and Addac 802 VCA. The Seq 1 main gate is used to trigger an ADSR-VC2 that modulates the filter and VCA. Some key tracking and FM from one of the oscs on the filter as well, plus PWM on the osc with a Doepfer A-143-3. Next, a bass voice. The second Seq 1 CV out is used for pitch, the accent out for the gate. For the voice, we have an Addac 701 going through a Manhattan Analog SVVCF and a further 802 VCA channel. For the ADSR, the second ADSR-VC2 channel modulates the filter and VCA again. Finally, the third Seq 1 CV out is used to trigger a CTG-VC that gates the sine output from another Addac 701 via a third 802 VCA channel. A Qunexus is set up to transpose that osc occasionally. Some PWM on the bass osc and vibrato on the last one from the remaining A-143-3 channels. That's it for the patch.

The three parts are multitracked into Ableton in one go, no editing on the tracks itself. However, I added two RE201 returns, one delay and one reverb focused. Additionally, some EQ, compression, as well as more reverb and delay in Ableton to bring it all together as always. Hope you enjoy it and cheers!
