For this @DarkScienceElectro Rewind we check out this legendary release by Italian producer @Kobol-Electronics

Originally released by @MinimalRome in 2007, this album has become a necessary staple in any collection for fans of Detroit Electro/Techno. Echoing the sound of Dopplereffekt, this album strips down the contained music into wonderful sound design and minimal production to create soulful yet cold Electro.

Return Of Atlantian EP

Humans Act Like Robots

Fast-rising Swedish producer DJ Different steps up to the Lobster main label plate with a five-track whopper of a rave EP that skirts its way from the Orion Nebula to the very edges of the Oort Cloud.

Blazing a trail of genres whilst keeping firmly in the orbit of a mood-thick, bass-heavy and rhythmic sound and programming palette; Different brings to the fore fuzzing interstellar ambient, Ilian Tape-esque heaving non-4/4 techno, skittering London jungle, RNB-infused washes of synth & breaks, and soulful, slow-lulling electro.

Out now on vinyl & digital release - lnk.to/REKIDS132

UK techno legend Mark Broom returns to Rekids in February to release four uplifting cuts in the form of his ‘Break 97’ EP.

Mark Broom’s musical career is certainly something to behold – with over 150 releases over the past 25 years, on top of regular gigs across the world’s most renowned institutions, there’s no doubting his work ethic and his influence upon the scene. A prolific artist and true pioneer in the techno world, having worked with revered labels such as Warp, R&S, Ifach and Soma, and in more recent times Blueprint, EPM Music, Red Sonja Records and his own Beard Man Records, his ‘Break 97’ EP kick-starts 2019 for Radio Slave’s Rekids as the imprint adds yet another outstanding name to its roster following the likes of DJ Deep, Sebo K, DJ Spider and more.

‘Break 97’ sets the tone of the EP with a fusion of techno and disco, delicately blending funk-infused chords and resonating kicks amongst groove-filled vocals, before ‘Heart’ delivers inspiriting disco samples, punchy low end and elevating strings to reveal an effervescent aesthetic throughout. ‘EFB’ takes things up a notch, offering a dancefloor focused cut balancing rattling highs, vibrant synth flutters and a muffled vocal line, until ‘G Theme’ rounds out proceedings armed with robust percussion, electrifying vocals and undulating, euphoric keys.

EMS is one of our most diverse and talented artists on the label. I found him living above Strange? Records in 1995 making his own modular synths, vocoders and drum machines for his electro productions. Stephen Machnowski currently has 3 eps on Satamile Records and a full length 2x12. He falls into the category of genius electro producer with records that have charted amongst the worlds top DJ’s and radio stations both nationally and internationally. It’s rare to find someone such as him who can build the exact modules from transistor up, write, engineer , perform live and dj!!

--Review by Atome.com (France) May 17, 2004 

"‘Crack In The Sun’ is a brilliant opener, almost hittting Detroit territory due to its warm analogue synths that play a lush sequence and modulate throughout the track, while underneath a stripped and jacking electro beat rolls with the sub bass, class groove. Also head for ‘Ginetik’ which has one of the warmest swooping basslines that hugs the beat with classic arpeggiator-esque synths that deliver a killer electro atmosphere. My fave has to be ‘Ellipticophasic’ which has an amazing and hard beat backed by acidic synths to drop what is probably the hardest cut on the album, it stands out so much due to the punchy drums that will rock a dancefloor solidly, ace New York electro shizzle." 
--Review by Boomkat.com (UK) May 2004 

"A full six track double pack that's bursting at the seams with cracking dancefloor electro grooves. After two great singles they cememt their place as key players for this top new york label. Hefty grooves, deep basslines and a more than liberal sprinkling of wicked sounds. Recommended." 
--Review by Smallfish.co.uk (UK) May 2004 

* The very first Satamile signature strikes back in full length version! After releasing three magnificent EP's, ''Exoplanet. Voice. Transistors'' ''Robotronic Rhythm''and ' 'Colonized'' on Andrew A. Price NYC based structure, rare and precious talent Stephen Machnowski signs here a dancefloor and mental electro deluxe album in its own and inimitable trademark. In six exceptional cuts in which minimal groove, analogical modulations, subtle vocoders, gloomy melodies and heading hypnotic bass lines combine perfectly, E.M.S introduces his definition of a both deep and funky syncopated music. The final result is just simply amazing! Grade A to sumptuous ''Crack In The Sun'', ''Ginetik'' and ''Ellipticophasic'', three tracks that confer ''Synchronaut'' opus its essential status.

show. Word.” 

Grooves Magazine 
Following up on the original vinyl released earlier in 2004, the CD version of Synchronaut adds five new tracks. With a distinctively deep, dark analog sound that harkens back to a mix of early acid, Detroit techno, and classic Elektroids, the record is packed with the classic 4/4, relentless 16ths of percussion , and robotic vocals of the 80's b-boy sound. Brisk and biting, tracks like "Close Encounters" and "Get Ghetto" establish an oppressive futurist vision early. But "Plt_lounge_eur" is a lovely, almost nostalgic electro piece that lubricates the ear canals, being plush and synthetic at the same time, and "Rhthmus Machine" slows down to an introspective crawl, its sensuous knob-twiddling making the piece grow and rise like a post-massive dawn. EMS has put together these extra pieces with as much care and attention as his homemade instruments. Highly recommended.

Technical History
The electromusic specialist began designing and assembling his studio in New York in 1994. The initial purpose was to have a live setup that he could use to construct songs directly on the dance floor with few pre-written sequences.
Many of his synthesizers and drum machines were self-engineered from recycled, discarded electronics; converted into chaotic but solid techno music machines. From the transistor up they were engineered for raw bass power and allowed stray noises and malfunctions to become part of the recording or show.
The main foundation pieces of equipment at the time were his "CMS-01" modular synth, "Modularhythm System-3" drum machine, and "Sputnik Voice Processor SVP-02" vocoder. After his first couple records, EMS started to incorporate some commercial synthesizers into his studio to fill out tracks for the third record with plenty of live-performed layers without having to multitrack, but instead doing a 1 shot composite recording. Some of his most-used additional instruments were the Oberheim SEM, Sequential Circuits Pro-1 and Roland SH-101, which contained several modifications and enhancements.
CMS-01 Modular Synthesizer
The CMS-01 contains the following modules: VCO(2), VCF(2), VCA(3), AR Envelope, ADSR Envelope, Sample&Hold, Ring Modulator, Patch Bay, Trigger Extractor, AC/DC Mixer, LFO/HFO, VC Glide, Comparator, Envelope Follower, VC Slew Limiter
VCO 1
Based on an old design which is mostly discrete, this VCO is quite temperature sensitive. This one was fun trying to keep in tune every time someone opened the door or cranked up the fog machine. Cold makes the pitch go flat on this unit. Other than that, it has a very warm sound and has a massive frequency range.
Listen to: Rhythmus Machine
VCO 2
Standard 1970s "3340" oscillator design with sub bass.
Listen to: EMS acid/switch mix
VCF1
Diode ladder filter.
Sample & Hold
Labeled S&H, this little component helped a lot at shows. To fill the silence between live or DJ sets this one was patched in to VCO2 with a slow clock for sample rate and the voltage was output to a self-oscillating VCF1. Lots of blips and bleeps that could be tweaked to sound like computers from early scifi movies. Some notes could shake the floor with bass where the next could hang on almost inaudible high frequencies.
Listen to: Sample and hold example
LFO
Well, this might as well have been called HFO since it was mostly used as a high-frequency modulation source often applied to a VCF. The sound from that kind of patch is described as "talkie" because at certain settings you can almost hear vowel sounds. The component is on the bottom left, look for the small blue LED.

For the seventh volume of International Chromies, we're turning to something close to our hearts.

The 26th of January is known in our home country as Australia Day, a national holiday where non-indigenous people celebrate the founding of the country and the arrival of The First Fleet. For many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, and those sympathetic to their cause this day is known as Invasion Day, and is held as a day of mourning commemorating the beginning of the colonisation of lands and cultures that had existed there for over 50,000 years.

It goes without saying we are ashamed of this "Holiday" and stand in solidarity with our Indigenous sisters & brothers.
All the money from this compilation will be split between The Healing Foundation & Reconciliation Australia.
Both organizations are partnering with communities around Australia to address the inequality and prejudice the First Nations people face, and the on-going trauma caused by abhorrent actions such as the forced removal of children from their families. They work with these communities to create a place of safety, providing an environment for Stolen Generation survivors and their families to speak for themselves, tell their own stories and be in charge of their own healing.

If you are in a position to donate directly or share any information about either organisation we thoroughly encourage that you do & we want to send a huge thank you to Mall Grab, Mathis Ruffing, Kuldaboli, Prequel Tapes & CYRK for donating their work for this fundraiser along with everyone who has been supporting International Chromies since we started.

We acknowledge the traditional custodians throughout Australia; recognise their continued connection to land, waters, and culture; and pay our respects to Elders past, present, and future.

Change the date.
Change the flag.
Australian Shame.
Stolen Land.
Black Lives Matter.
