"Unethical behavior within organizations is not rare. Peev & Realitycheck investigate experimentally the role of status-seeking behavior in sabotage and cheating activities aiming at improving one's performance ranking in a flat-wage environment. They find that average effort is higher when individuals are informed about their relative performance. However, ranking feedback also favors disreputable behavior. Some individuals do not hesitate to incur a cost to improve their rank by sabotaging others' work or by increasing artificially their own performance. Introducing sabotage opportunities has a strong detrimental effect on performance. Therefore, ranking incentives should be used with care. Inducing group identity discourages sabotage among peers but increases in-group rivalry."

Beginning life in February of this year, French label Music For Commercials' mission is focused on environmental preservation, recycling old materials like floppy discs and VHS cassette tapes to house the music. After a compilation featuring around 14 artists, they're returning with their sophomore release, an EP from Realitycheck and Peev, which will be available on VHS. The two French producers—the former known for his releases on Unknown To The Unknown and Renascence and the latter for his ambient productions and Rinse FM residency–come together for three original tracks that match their tastes for mysterious atmospheres and tight drum work.

For Dyslecta's debut on vinyl, and follow up to his contribution to Out of Sorts' inaugural VA, he serves up four slabs of rugged, UK techno, with influences from the early swamp sound, 2000s hard groove and classic tech house. Thresher kicks off the release with a high-energy, claustrophobic affair topped off with rattling percussion and synths which turn your head inside out. Available on a limited run of 100 vinyl and digital worldwide from 19th August, via the Out of Sorts bandcamp.

Release Info :

Matti Turunen - Radau [Cultivated Electronics LTD // CELTD011]

Matti Turunen is probably best known for his work as Morphology (with Michael Diekmann) but here he goes it alone for a new EP on Cultivated Electronics vinyl-only series, Cultivated Electronics Ltd.

Finnish electronic maestro, Turunen's previous solo ventures without his Morphology cohort are rare. The last time was a track for AC Records in 2013 (which was remastered earlier this year for Bandcamp), but appearances have also cropped up on Abstract Forms, Muhk and Bliq in previous years.

For his 'Radau' EP on CE Ltd he turns up the Electro-funk to the max with lush arrangements, dulcet melodies and gritty beats – there's a warmth in the machines.

Tracklist : 
A1. Aureum
A2. Xhante
B1. Radau
B2. Memnonia

Since his last outing on Control Freak with the sold-out Bunzunkunzun EP, Syz has built a reputation as one of the UKs most distinctive club producers, weaving playful, percussive techno with soundsystem-driven bass music.

Much of this acclaim started with 2020’s Mindforms - a self-released mini-LP which saw the young producer step away from the dancefloor to explore an expansive sonic world, ‘balancing the tranquility of the ecological world with the immediacy of the digital one’.

The original  release was accompanied by a highly limited run of just 10 dubplates. Deeming this 6-tracker too good not to receive a proper pressing, Control Freak are proud to present the first ever complete vinyl run for Mindforms.

Alongside the record, Syz & Control Freak have curated Clubforms, a collection of remixes from some of our favourite producers, each bringing the original release firmly onto the dancefloor with their own production flourishes.

CLUBFORMS - Mindforms remixes from @henry-greenleaf, @daisymoon, @tammohesselink, @keplrr:

“Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.” a sage modernist poet previously whispered. And here we go, far out and yet so near, the third edition of “Risks Issues Opportunities” brings frontier reverberations scratching at the edges of dance, pop, downbeat, and other trance- portive sectors. Eight fast/slow propelling tracks. Adventurous, full of grandeur, gratifying the dance floor while equally winning the relaxation zones. Pure emotions crafted by newcomers. There is Milan’s Tagliabue, trancing slow and insightful. Or Cologne’s Grischerr, eloquently Tolouse-Low-Traxing. Some go down the slow burning road, where rhythms hang low, and suspense is in full show. Like London’s Frank Rodas, Garnu Depot from Iran, or Xei Ju from the islands of Micronesia, striking all ears with ghostly transcendental percussive science. An autumnally global voyage, which likewise offers industrialized districts by Italian producer Federico Cassetta, Metropolis minimal wave pop by Japanese musician Saeko Killy, or odd swamp funk by Chilean/German duo 7697 Miles. They all show, how far you can go, without losing your distinct flow.

Oracool, a Ukrainian label currently operating from Berlin, is releasing its first compilation, "Sins".

Oracool started in 2017 as a party series in Kyiv. Back then, its founder, music producer and dj Adelina (Banoffee Pies Records) got together with some friends to throw a party. Gradually, a close-knit community gathered around the project. The events of the last two years have disrupted Oracool’s activities in Ukraine. Today, its community is scattered over the world, yet it remains connected as ever.

In 2024, Oracool transformed into something more than just an event - Adelina registered the eponymous record label with an intent to release musical prophecies featuring Ukrainian and international artists, with a focus on supporting musicians at risk.

The imprint’s debut release is a compilation named "Sins". It’s a tribute to the Oracool’s friends, and those who have been upholding its community from the very beginning. The compilation brings together tracks from various artists from around the globe, with a special focus on Ukrainian young talents.

The 13 tracks compilation is dedicated to the exploration of broken sound. All tracks are united by an essence of loud and insightful dance rhythm, amplified by an otherworldly layer of mystical melodies. The record is saturated by foolproof tight grooves, making it a perfect tool for keeping the dance floor engaged. It’s a special collection of Electro, Bass, and Techno that marks a new beginning for the Oracool imprint.

Featured on the record are prominent figures of the Ukrainian scene, including Bite Records , Standard Deviation and ∄ resident, Nastya Vogan, reknown producer and rave legend Koloah, founder of Strila Artists agency - Travis or Alice, Polygon Records affiliate SVZZ, pioneer of Ukrainian electro sound Radiant Futur, vinyl connoisseur Rustam, rising star from the depths of Carpathians - Cristopher Bo, founder of Nowa event series Ewa Nomad, as well as a promising newcomer - offgridn3ss, and, of course, Adelina herself.

Additionally, the release highlights the co-founder of the ДРОБ collective and event series, German sound artist and producer N.Y.N, Inken, UK-born, Berlin-based maestro of old-school production techniques Aezron, as well as up and coming Egyptian producer 5amaseen, influenced by mahraganat and folkloric music of the Arab world.

The compilation will be available on all platforms on June 1st.

Dr. Brian B. Waves' guide to the destruction of heavenly bodies involves seven steps, three of which we've laid out below. As for the rest? You'll have to discover them for yourselves.

1. Observe, analyse, take action and neutralise the external defence systems before infiltration.

2. Dismantle the governance structures and remove all charismatic leaders from positions of power by means of public executions. Expect resistance from the underground, do not let it foment, break it at its core and assume the position of the dominator.

3. Create panic within the resistance’s ranks within the shortest delay possible and ensure a large amount of feedback in order to crush the possibility of a future generation of rebels. The acid triplet motion is a useful technique to achieve this goal. 

Geneva's Brainwaves crew are launching into 2021 with a release from label mate Weith, who returns to the imprint for the second time following 2019's Obsidian EP. Following releases for Concrete Collage, Wirebox, and more recently Brokntoys and non-profit label Touched, on the aptly named DOOMSDAY Weith brings seven tracks that touch on different influences, from IDM, electro and acid to breaks, rave and techno.
