Ice_Eyes - Culture Of Pain (Bonebrokk's 128 Soundboy Mix)

@bonebrokk - In Between Two Worlds
Label: Infinite Machine
CAT#: IM107
Format: Digital
Release: November 24th, 2023

From the very start of Bonebrokk’s debut album, we are plunged into a downward spiral of industrial percussion and distorted voices. ‘Altered Realities’ builds a terrifying maelstrom out of what sounds like an engine in a deep tunnel, a seismic alarm, and a hype MC calling for help through a busted intercom. Soon a galloping kick appears and we are off to the races. From there, the record rarely lets up.

The sonic palette remains fairly consistent throughout, but the album covers a lot of ground rhythmically and stylistically, touching on deformed dancehall, hyperfuture dnb (Vassilina’s guest spot provides one of the few moments of relative tenderness), and loads of mutant, latin-inflected techno rollers. Two beatless interludes provide breathers—‘Timelines Melt’ and ‘Valey of Wolves’— although, as the titles might suggest, even these are steeped in dread.

Bonebrokk has crafted ‘In Between Two Worlds’ as a bridge into an imagined world that he can escape to, a respite from the banality of day jobs and our mundane everyday existence that club music can provide for us all.

PREMIERE: Diessa - Rough On It (Early Reflex)

@despinadespina - Fire from Heat
Label: Infinite Machine
CAT#: IM105
Format: Digital
Release: October 20th, 2023

Despina was trying to write a follow-up to their 2022 record ‘Gravity Games’ on Kindergarten Records as they fell into a deep depression, during a harsh New York winter and against a backdrop of escalating legislative attacks on trans people in the USA. In the struggle to express themselves through music while maintaining their usual exuberant voice, they found a darker musical path, and ‘Fire From Heat’ is the result of exploring this path.

The title ‘Fire From Heat’ comes from the expression “heat from fire, fire from heat,” an expression that is used by the trans community in voice training and that was popularized by YouTuber Z from TransVoiceLessons. At the same time as Despina searched for their voice as a trans, non-binary person in a country continuously stripping the rights of their trans siblings, they found an alternate, musical voice through the extensive use of human and non-human voices. This dichotomy and the interplay of both voices became a conceptual thread that runs through the entire record. These voices are countered by rhythmic constraints, undulating cyclical grooves, sinister basslines, and interruptive structures that create a delicate interplay between the imagined speaker and an idealized dancer.

Stolen Velour & Klahrk - Get Back To Work

Rebuild

Tension - Embrace

Australian NHS boss Galtier and UK label Synes co-founder Druid team up for a collaborative EP 'Stone Hardware'. The EP’s four tracks are a collection of solo works and collaborative efforts from both producers recorded throughout the duration of late 2020 and early 2021, taking form as a hybrid collection of club-ready dancefloor destroyers.

The established end product of this EP is evident in the release’s title – an organic, primitive sound palette that frequents Galtier’s dynamic sound as heard in the last few years, combined with Druid’s mechanized futurism taken straight from the streets of Neo-Tokyo. Each producer has offered a distinctive focus that they have merged together into one evolving, unanticipated synthesis of proto and post-earthly sound.

Galtier - Bayou Of Metamorphoses (feat. Druid) [NHS025]

✦ MR002 sent in direct from Brno covers a sub-scape of sounds reflecting a current shift in the scene. Count’s sophomore EP showcases a versatile and refined style both in idea and application. Brno’s newest emergence has already had a hand in much that the scene has to offer. Between being a resident/booker at filtr and a regular host on Infame Radio, many have heard count playing at other venues such as Vitamin, Fraktal, and Ankali. ✦

✦ Taking form over a range of bpms, three original tracks accompanied by two remixes come together to shape this tightly knit project. The first track on the EP aptly named “WORK” is an enigmatic drum puzzler highlighted by the familiar voice of Missy Elliot. ✦

✦ Markham Road Records is an electronic music label exploring both established and experimental ideas. Based in Brno, Czech Republic. ✦
