Analogical Force, the underground nightclub based in Madrid continues kicking and exploring. The AF gatherings, with guests such as Rob Hall, Monolake, Grant Wilson Claridge, Helena Hauff, I-F, Ultradyne, Byetone, Dave Monolith (…) turn now into record label focused on spreading serious electronic music with attitude and without corsets, from experimental sounds to acid or techno. Our label our rules: voice for the voiceless.

AF debuts on wax with “Periscope Ep” by the Rephlex affiliated duo D'Arcangelo (including remix by Kettel). Five years have passed since the brothers issued “Cradle and go!” on 030303 Records. Since then, and closing Rephlex, many -like us- have been looking forward to new stuff. 

With “Periscope EP” Fabrizio and Marco rises to the surface again, but not necessarily meaning a back-to-roots approach. Instead, it seems to be a step forward in their creative process and a deep dive into their sound. ”Periscope EP” contains new material of complex electronic music: avant rhythms, emotive idm with distinctive acid flashes, plus a surprising array of misty landscapes leading to an extremely engaging myriad of expressive images and shapes.

Meanwhile talented Kettel has done it again...

Analogical Force are proud to release this excellent EP which also is the first in their catalogue.

Madrid’s Analogical Force continues its run proudly to present ‘Welkin EP’, second in the catalogue and first from Niagara Falls, NY-based Reid Dunn (well known as WISP) under his misterious DWAALLICHT alias. Many -like us- have been looking forward long time for this stuff, now the wait is over.

Just when the 10th anniversary of the still acclaimed ‘NRTHNDR’ album on now-defunct Sublight label, and six years after ‘We Miss You’ and ‘The Shimmering Hour’ on the Rephlex camp, the Aphex Twin-approved producer is back exploring spectral acidish territories, intricate drum patterns with thick synths, nervous breaks and rhythms, nostalgic rising-falling melodies...waving this elements to his will. It seems that Reid has deemed the time right to do what he does best. A record so immune to contemporary styles and aesthetics are almost by definition timeless, and it's tempting to call ‘Welkin EP’ that.

Dwaallicht doesn’t hide his influences; AFX, Squarepusher and Mike Paradinas are obvious reference points, but add Tangerine Dream, Phuture 303 or Mr Fingers to the mix and you’ll get a sense of the scope of Reid’s personal vision. 

Braindancers: ‘Welkin EP’ will all remind you exactly why you loved this talented guy for so long and why hes one of the most uncompromising artists working in electronic music this days.

...Absolutely essential!

Dublin’s Colin Cloughley lands on Analogical Force for the 3rd drop. Anodyne needs no further introduction, the Skam fiends among you may remember his name since the 'Save A Prayer' remix on Mask 500 some years ago or listening to Rob Hall playin’ his tunes systematically. Besides Skam Colin has released a slew of records on Combat Recordings, Yellow Machines or Acroplane and some of his tracks have been remixed by his personal heroes such as Autechre, Plaid, The Black Dog or Funckarma among others. We're very pleased to bring you the new stuff. 

“Nothing Lasts EP” deals 3 tracks of abstract electro/IDM, hearkening you back to classics from Gescom and early Ae. Solid breaks and sky-scanning esoteric synthlines sure to elicit a shiver of melancholy and emotive nostalgia. Anodyne put a lot of thought and attention-to-detail in his music and draw on influences outside of the standard Detroit/Kraftwerk axis in order to make their music distinctive from others, check it out. 

Closing the EP, probably one the most exciting dancefloor weapon left on the Skam books, Manchester’s Mr76ix, relaxes tension turning ‘Reflections of a Broken Soul’ into a deep acid mutation, sprinkling sweet playful melodies in a shiny Windowlicker-styled 4/4 feel. 

Hand-numbered and limited to 300 copies as usual, don’t sleep.

AF is introducing Echo 106 to the family and fans of analogue techno should investigate. The swiss duo debuts on Analogical Force after many fine releases on Lux Records, Jamal Moss' co-op Mathemathics and appearances on Brokntoys or 030303. ‘Shifting Multiverse EP’ is one of the strongest released by the Schnüriger brothers so far. 

If you are looking for conceptual music come back where you came, ‘Shifting Multiverse EP’ contains four-tracks of raw acid techno, sinister synthscapes and rippling 808 electro ready for do damage on the dancefloor. Proper analogue gear, smoke machine and strobelight, the real deal. Bruno & Hansruedi knows the way. 

Closing the circle the certified ’acid lord’ Andy Jenkinson is jamming the 303 as dangerous as ever. It was inevitable: Ceephax serves up a killer remix of ‘Myrtle Acid’ that...blah blah blah just listen! and love us or hate us.

Next up! Second chapter in the AF Voiceless series. The label run by Pervert keeps on broadening its own catalogue by adding artists committed to the electronic cause. This EP is a 5-track new voyage through analogue-crafted soundscapes, acid-injected breaks, thudding bass lines, warm and intricate melodies… the sheerest voice for the voiceless. AF005Y introduces new members to the family as Houston-based Daed (Ian Lambert), who displays his ability to create a perfect acid-glitched blast called ‘Pulse Lunar’. Thus, ‘Smiley moon’ is above all a glimpse into the analogue world of the well-known Rolando Simmons, proving himself he's one of the brightest electronic artists of the moment. Sheffield based Dave Forrester (TechDiff) twists the modular in ‘Jamuary’ with a killer Aphexian/Jenkinson temper. Longing raving days are depicted in ‘Quest’ with an evocative electro halo by the hand of the Irish producer Cignol. Last but not least, ’Smoke’, a junglist, acid, and braindance orgy signed by Gareth Clarke, known for his previous works on Canada’s Sublight Records (Venetian Snares, Bill Laswell) and LoveLove Records.

[AF007] BRAINWALTZERA 'OUTDIVES EP' [2017]

Hell yes! Dutch maestro Reimer Eising returns with a new lesson in high class braindance electronica for Analogical Force. Just one year on from the inspiring ‘Wingtip’ album on Clone Records and many (like us) have been looking forward to his new stuff, now the wait is over. 

‘Alacasa’, the result of months of work, sees Reimer delving into his unique world of delicate drum patterns, kaleidoscopic synths, 4/4 beats and breaks, acid-tinged melodies, ghostly pads…blah blah blah… Kettel has presented us with all of these things before but never with such immaculate care and attention to detail, production and pacing. He has never sounded better and fresher than this.

The EP includes a dreamy and evocative remix from Swedish hero Rolando Simmons, pure bliss to get lost in.  No more words are needed, you know what to do.
