OMEN Recordings is proud to present its latest Various Artists (VA) compilation, 'Rituals,' an evocative collection that delves deep into the primal, the hypnotic, and the uncanny. This release promises to take listeners on a journey through the diverse landscapes of modern techno, each track an offering to the ritualistic essence of the dance floor. Featuring six exceptional artists, each with a distinct sonic identity, 'Rituals' is a testament to the label's commitment to pushing boundaries and exploring the depths of electronic music.

'Kopfschmerzen' by INCREASED CONTROL opens the compilation with its robotic, razor-like synths and twisted drum patterns, this track is a sonic assault, challenging the listener with its intensity. It's a dark, industrial soundscape that evokes images of dystopian futures and relentless machinery.

'Far Cry' by FAIRGROUND OF TEARS continues with an immersive soundscape that is both hypnotic and atmospheric. This track is a ceremonial invocation, weaving layers of ethereal pads with a pulsating undercurrent that transports the listener into a trance-like state. Its ritualistic vibe sets the tone for the auditory journey that follows.

Next, ADAREN's 'Kill The Scene' shifts gears with a driving pace that propels the compilation forward. This track is a relentless techno anthem, marked by its pounding bassline and intricate percussive elements. The energy is palpable, designed to dominate the dance floor and incite movement, capturing the raw, unyielding spirit of the underground.

'Zeal' by RHYTHM MODULATION takes the listener into a realm of eerie dissonance. The track is characterized by its creepy, discordant elements, weaving a web of tension and suspense. It's a masterclass in atmosphere, building an unsettling yet captivating aura that grips the listener from start to finish.

JANA GREENSTONE's 'Ascension' brings a unique twist to the compilation with its offbeat rhythm and unconventional structure. The track's intricate layers and unexpected turns create a sense of ascension and elevation, as if rising above the physical plane into a higher state of consciousness. It's a cerebral experience that invites introspection and deeper listening.

Closing the compilation, RYNZLER's 'Alea Iacta Est' is a powerful statement of intent. This drone-heavy, buzzy techno track is both imposing and meditative, blending dense textures with a steady, hypnotic rhythm. The title, meaning 'The die is cast,' signifies a point of no return, encapsulating the decisive and transformative nature of the entire compilation.

'Rituals' is a profound exploration of the varied expressions within techno, each track contributing to a cohesive narrative that is as introspective as it is dance-inducing. Omen Recordings continues to champion innovative and boundary-pushing music, solidifying its place at the forefront of the techno scene. This release is a must-have for those seeking to experience the deeper, darker, and more mystical facets of electronic music.

About EP:
This album represents a significant evolution in the musical journey of Nick Viola, transitioning from the powernoise and heavy industrial sounds of his previous project, Fractured Transmission, into a techno-framed landscape. Spanning seven tracks, including remixes, the album features recurring sounds sourced from machinery, field recordings, and personal travels. These elements create an uneasy atmosphere oscillating between slight discomfort and absolute dread, offering a dystopian sonic experience fitting for the times we unfortunately live in. 

The opening track, 'A Ghost in Your World,' sets an intense tone with distorted atmospheres and 'It's Still Real' follows with a relentless pulse and swirling mechanical sounds, seamlessly flowing into Kenny Campbell's remix of 'A Ghost In Your World', providing a cathartic release for the A side.

'Drop Out,' guides listeners on a psychedelic journey into the B side of the record, while 'Negative Nancy' ramps up the energy with an aggressive industrial techno assault offering an antagonistic jab at the current trend within the genre. Substencia's remix of “Drop Out” delves deeper into psychedelia, offering an immersive trance-like experience relieving the tension of “Negative Nancy”.

The digital-only bonus track, 'Tensor,' maintains the album's heavy industrial techno feel of a well oiled machine, ready to pummel any underground sound system.


About Artist:
Nick Viola is a versatile electronic music producer known for his distinctive blend of industrial and techno music, drawing inspiration from a wide range of influences spanning from the gritty sounds of powernoise to the pulsating energy of techno.

Born and raised in Los Angeles,  Nick began his musical journey immersed in the industrial club scene, where he cut his teeth performing at the legendary Los Angeles industrial club Das Bunker. Here, he honed his craft and developed a deep appreciation for the raw, aggressive textures of industrial music. As the driving force behind the project Fractured Transmission, he made a name for himself with his uncompromising approach to power and rhythmic noise, earning recognition for his intense live performances and relentless sonic assaults.

However, Nick was always drawn to the rhythms and sounds of techno, and in a bold move, he embarked on a new chapter in his musical career, transitioning from the abrasive sounds and rhythms of powernoise to recontextualizing those sounds into a more techno landscape. With this album, “A Ghost In your World”, he showcases his evolution as an artist, seamlessly blending the industrial aesthetics of his past with the pulsating energy and frame of techno.

Spanning six tracks, “A Ghost In Your World” is a sonic journey through dark, dystopian landscapes and pulsating dance floors, where distorted atmospheres and mechanical rhythms collide to create a mesmerizing and immersive experience. From the haunting textures of "A Ghost in Your World" to the relentless energy of "Negative Nancy," each track offers a unique glimpse into Nick's sonic universe, inviting listeners to explore new depths with each listen.

As Nick Viola continues to evolve musically, he remains committed to crafting immersive sonic experiences that resonate with listeners on a visceral, and primal level.

nicht perfgekt aber echt

Black Sun Records returns with a monster collaboration from Unhuman & Surit. Unhuman is best known for his contributions on labels such as Instruments Of Discipline, Liber Null & Veleno Viola among many others, his sound running the gamut between noise, power-electronics, EBM & techno; Surit is better known as one half of NX1, recently releasing some solo remixes on his own Nexe Records label and on some others. Together they deliver a powerful 4 track EP, opening with “Moral Poverty”, a perfect driving track with fat bass, metal percussion and layered pads that trap you from the very beginning; next is “Surrender”, a twisted break-cut full of character, complex yet effective, a mind-warping, beautiful journey. Turning to the B-side, the track that gives name to the EP “Impact Bashing”, delivers pure, raw, industrial- techno, oppressive, incisive & brutal. “Precipitated Paranoia”, closes the record, a higher bpm techno cut, defined by the power of the drums and held in tension by jittering, nervous synths.

Date release: Nov / 2018
