In March 2023, Tresor Records will release "Crash Recoil", a new album by Surgeon. It marks Anthony Child's first techno LP in five years, following a period in which he felt uncertainty in his role as a techno producer and found it tough to locate inspiration. This new album encounters him drawing on spontaneous techniques to arrive at unchartered topographies.

"Crash Recoil" originates from Surgeon's recent live sets, where he experimented with constraints in performing and embracing the twists, turns and paradoxes that arrive from this. Each fresh iteration on consistent MIDI sequences and hardware reconfigured tracks into different constellations, creating an inspiring vortex of unpredicted events where ideas could flourish. This new approach allowed him to capture the spontaneous energy of his live shows in a way he had never done before. "This is not a live album, since it has not been recorded in one go during a live performance. In the same way that bands tour songs before going into the studio to record an album, I was able to explore these songs and hone their effectiveness during my live performances before creating a studio version."

The result is eight tracks that emphasise a new techno sound for Surgeon, drawing in references from across the musical spectrum. "I can hear Coil, King Tubby, Detroit Techno and The Cure all wrapped up with 30 years of DJing," Surgeon says of the album. Melancholic hum-like ambiences smudge around unadorned, near-droning basslines, crunching rhythm and percolating arpeggiations. The tracks carry unique and potent locomotion, with a low-slung grind through toughened terrains, breathing with a free spirit, untethered by a studio-based perspective. We hear manifestations of the same raw material across the album, like a textural motif, carving new variants and creating a cohesive work full of recollection.

PREMIERE: Antidote MT - Eutropium (Luca Maniaci Remx) [Mind Games Recordings]

WEST (Original Mix)

Perculate

This moody minimal techno piece features spacious, abstract textures built from pulsing bass and crisp percussive layers, setting a hypnotic undercurrent, Occasional female vocals drift in with ethereal phrases, processed for a spectral glow, The harmony draws heavily on the Lydian mode, lending a mystical quality, For the Japanese touch, sparse koto samples and subtle pentatonic melodic motifs appear before the hard drops—booming yet restrained kick and digital stabs evoke a mythical rave atmosphere, The atmosphere is meditative yet kinetic, balancing restraint with waves of electrifying intensity

Deep'a & Biri – Dominance Remixes
Release Date:  28/11/2018

Tracklist: 
A1. Deep’a & Biri - False Memories (Midnight Operator Remix)
A2. Deep’a & Biri - Voltage (Peter Van Hoesen's Midnight Haze Remix)
B1. Deep’a & Biri - Seeking Solace (Z.I.P.P.O Remodel)
B2. Deep’a & Biri - Alpha Cephei (Deniro Remix)
Digital: Deep’a & Biri - Theories of Loneliness (Wice Remix) 

Deep’a & Biri curate a bevy of much-respected underground techno specialists to further unravel and reimagine the vital and sophisticated sounds of ‘Dominance’, their full-length LP released earlier in 2018.

Midnight Operator, the collaborative project of Mathew and Nathan Johnson, begin the set with their trippy and transcendent take on ‘False Memories’. A rare remix from the pair, their return has been worth the wait; an expertly executed techno excursion, it simultaneously burrows deeper into the psychedelic textures of the original, while providing a club-centred kick.

Further blending the experimental and the physical, Peter Van Hoesen provides a typically complex and compelling take on Voltage, deconstructing the original and expanding each element in myriad, rave-specific directions.

Deep’a & Biri enlist rising Dutch DJ-producer Deniro contributes a rolling, hypnotic version of Dominance’s spectral centrepiece, ‘Alpha Cephei’, while Z.I.P.P.O. charges down a tense, big-room industrial tunnel for his interpretation of ‘Seeking Solace’, hitting on a cathartic groove after a passage of uncompromising noise.

Concluding the EP, Steinlac’h Records founder Wice reimagines ‘Theories of Loneliness’ in dubby but propulsive fashion.
