The Red See

Scuba Death is Ricardo Donoso's alter ego. With more of a focus on analog sound, percussion, sampling, and location recordings, there is an organic undercurrent on Scuba Death recordings that isn't as prevalent in his solo work. This music is rich in atmosphere while still tethered to the deeper ideas that Donoso often explores in his work. Treatises on fear and death­anxiety, the underlining thematic framework for the project, run rampant throughout these claustrophobic electronic passages, and teeter on the edge of being oppressive. 

Nitrogen Narcosis marks the first full length and strongest statement in the Scuba Death repertoire after the privately issued, ruthless ‘Demon Seed’ twelve inch back in 2011. The album alternates between surprising lethargic dance inflections all nestled between 75 & 100 bpm, the normal resting heart rate for adults, and the more conceptual, numbness­inducing pieces like "50­-70 Meters" and "Nociception." Sequencing plays an integral role on Nitrogen Narcosis as the listener is suddenly thrust into the darkest reaches of the ocean after dark alley grooves are sucked into an aquatic abyss. 

For a project named after Donoso's near­drowning experience in the South Atlantic when he was younger, there's an impressive amount of reflection & vulnerability present – the field recordings that permeate throughout the album were captured at the same location the undertow caught hold of him that bright Summer day 20 years prior. An inner battle between paranoia and euphoria is played out in well­conceived, precision sonics on Nitrogen Narcosis as Donoso reminds us to look back, break through the surface and go deeper. 

Ricardo Donoso's solo work speaks for itself, but with this new chapter comes new questions and considerations. Scuba Death is enigmatic to a fault and all the better for it. 

Recorded At Vesica Pisces, September­-November 2012

Nothing stops this train mix for Killekill ..

Keith Tenniswood a.k.a. RADIOACTIVE MAN is one of our closest friends in music. So asking him for a podcast was a thing that had to happen sooner or later. The man who formerly was one half of the legendry Two Lone Swordsmen is still one of our favourite artists. Especially his album that he released recently on Wang Trax showed his skills in machine funk and melancholy.
So, here we go with this full on driving electro mix featuring some fine pearls of this genre, classics (such as the Burrito Boys or Advent) as well as unreleased material (such as his own track to be released on the KILLEKILL 010 compilation).

Break it down!

Tracklist:
1. Dexorcist  '1998' Unreleased 
2. Miotech/Wrth 'Our Funk' (Radioactive Man Remix) Seven Sisters Records
3. Al Tourettes 'Badger' Base 
4. Paul Maslin 'West Port Funk' Anti-Social Network -  Electro Compendium
5. The Advent Feat Paris the Black Fu ' Electric Pandemic '
6 Carl Finlow ' Hash Tag' Electrixx
7. Radioactive Man 'Addict' Killekill 
8 RadioNasty 'Stevie Wunderbar' Electrixx
9 No Data Available 'Microwaver'  Unreleased 
10 Burrito boys 'Snackers Delight'  Atak Records
11. Craig Mac 'White Cones'  Anti Social Network -Electro compendium


Here is some more details:
Vinyl of RAM's album 'Waits and Measures' will be released next month on Wangtrax with a DL code to remixes from Carl Finlow, Forshaw, Kitbuilders, DJ Stingray,Posthuman, Al Tourettes and Dicky Continental AKA Rich Thair from Red snapper / Toob..
