Former Instra:mentalist Damon Kirkham expands his Jon Convex enterprise with his debut on Civil Music featuring two new original tracks alongside remixes from Civil Music signee Ore and frequent Convex collaborator, Exit Records main man & DnB legend dBridge.

Constituting the first significant Jon Convex release since his acclaimed 'Idoru' LP last year, 'Losing Time/TX' further refines this hypnotic, powerful analog sound. This is Techno music that sounds sensuous and danceable while still being harsh, heavy and filled with a level sci-fi dread befitting of a producer who takes his alias from dystopian thriller Videodrome.

'Losing Time/TX' is released on 25th November on Civil Music on 12" Vinyl & download.

Tracklist:

01. Losing Time
02. TX
03. TX (Ore Remix)
04. TX (dBridge Remix)

CIV057 Jon Convex - Losing Time / TX

Some naughty techno from a legend and a soon to be legend. not for the faint hearted :)

Trade - Half Nelson

Another song with the type of raw techno sound im enjoying at the moment.... have fun

Unklone - Grit 555

after their successful ep collapsed (r-n116) the bristol based project strikes back with a full length album on raster-noton. once more james ginzburg & paul purgas challenge the perceptual boundaries between noise and music and the potential for both technology and architecture to embed and codify themselves within sound.

recur is presented as emptyset’s third studio album, continuing on from their work with demiurge. the material examines the central themes of time, structure and recursion, through the analysis of scale and the interaction of both formal and fractured sonics. the album furthers the project’s exploration of rhythm, dislocation and feedback within the framework of full frequency sound, structural abstraction and analogue processing. the work examines how notions of time interact with both experience and form, and the resulting modes through which this affects sound through compression and rarefaction and the forcing of signal thresholds to their critical point.

recur is also available as cd ( r-n151), 12" vinyl (r-n151-2) and limited edition of 180 gr heavy vinyl + cd + art print signed by the artists (r-n151-3).

Formerly known as Al Tourettes, London-based producer Alec Storey unveiled his new project as Second Storey with 2013’s ‘Margosa Heights’ EP. Now he drops ‘Shaman Champagne’, the lead single from ‘Double Divide’, his forthcoming debut LP due for release this October on Houndstooth, the esteemed label from London nightclub fabric, which is A&Red by Electronic Explorations curator Rob Booth.

Inhabiting a space full of contradictions, paradoxes and idiosyncrasies, Storey produces music that runs the gamut from multi-part suites of hefty sound design to club-shaking yet brainy dance epics for labels like Apple Pips, Aus and many more. This new project is at the crossroads; vastly complex and intricately arranged, “Shaman Champagne” is an adventurous club tune crafted by a truly inspired mind, showing off his bass roots as well as his psychedelically inspired musical abilities.

On the heels of his successful The Power And The Glory LP, Perc Trax label boss Perc (@perc) offers up a wonderfully heavy, pummelling remix, followed by a bouncy dancefloor roller from Aden, who is rumoured to be the Ultramajic label’s A&R, Machinedrum (@machinedrum)

The 12" is cut & mastered by Matt Colton, and limited to 500 copies.

Second Storey - Shaman Champagne (Perc Remix)

Zone 17 
Jon Convex "Force/Snake" 

Released August 25, 2014 
1) Force 
2) Snake 

One of the UK's leading producers Damon Kirkham has never conformed to the norm. As one half of Instra:mental (with Al Green, aka Boddika) and as part of Autonomic (alongside D Bridge) Kirkham played a pivotal role in blurring the lines between Drum & Bass, Electro, Dubstep and Techno breathing life into a then stagnant DnB scene. 

Now recording as Jon Convex, Kirkham has fully embraced the world of Techno and Electro but again on his own terms, taking the genres' skeletal framework and injecting all his years of influences from The Alan Parsons Project and Autechre to the film scores of Vangelis and John Carpenter that Kirkham immersed himself in as a child growing up in his mothers video rental store. 

Having played on numerous occasions at the Social Paris Club for Zone, it seemed fitting that Jon Convex would end up producing for the label and his debut EP, 2 tracks of forward thinking dark and sinuous Techno and body jacking electro are the perfect fit.

Zone 17 - Jon Convex - Snake

»vortices« is ueno masaaki’s first release on raster-noton, and the seventh release of the unun series.

ueno masaaki takes his musical cue from natural phenomenon and laws of nature by trying to reconstruct, not simulating them. the results are mainly rhythmical patterns that set off a chain reaction, expanding and contracting and creating new formations all the time.

the four tracks he presents on the EP are characterized by solid sound structures that appear to be very harsh and straight, sometimes even brutal, whereas the high pace even intensifies this impression. apparently repetitive at first sight, the tracks are in fact highly complex and intelligently arranged, presenting unforeseen breaks and shifts in direction.

12" vinyl & digital, released mid-October on Perc Trax Ltd.

A1) Perc & Truss Remix
B1) AnD Remix
B2) The Exaltics Remix

One of Perc’s all-time favourite tracks returns on Perc Trax Ltd, an imprint purposely created for reissues and collaborative projects. Originally released in 1993 as part of Thomas Heckmann’s ‘Drax Three’ EP on his own Trope Recordings label, it featured on Carl Cox’s seminal F.A.C.T. mix CD and alongside ‘Amphetamine’ has become one of the biggest tracks of Heckmann’s career. This 12" features three new remixes, all of which twist 'Phosphene' into something new whilst keeping the forward facing attitude of the original in place.

Opening up proceedings are Perc & Truss, hot on the heels of their recent sets at Awakenings and their second EP ‘Two Hundred’. Built upon one of their trademark kick and bass assaults the mix has been a highlight of their sets for months. On the B-side AnD deliver something very different to their previous releases, fusing punk drums with overdriven monosynths, making their forthcoming debut album even more of a mouth-watering prospect. Closing the record is The Exaltics who brings a slice of true analogue electro to Perc Trax with a remix which is one of the highlights of Perc’s forthcoming mix CD.

Soma 20 | Surgeon
Muggerscum Out Remixes (Soma309D)
Release Date: 27.06.11

1.	Surgeon – Sheffield Muggerscum Out (The Black Dog Remix)
2.	Surgeon – Moseley Muggerscum Out (The Black Dog Remix)
3.	Surgeon – Muggerscum Out (Alex Smoke Remix)
4.     Surgeon – Muggerscum Out (Perc Remix)

SOMA 20 YEARS [1991 – 2011]

As far as we are concerned, Surgeon is quite simply royalty in Techno. He has made and played music as he likes, disregarding traits and trends, for 15+ years. Over these years he has worked with the likes of Regis (as British Murder Boys) and more recently Ben Sims (as Frequency 7), making records that have been a corner stone of the Birmingham Techno scene. Shortly after Surgeon had broken through with his eponymous debut EP, Magneze, on Downwards circa 1995, the original Muggerscum Out was released on Soma Records.

A strictly British selection of remixers work this hidden gem in the Surgeon and Soma catalogues. The Black Dog offer two mixes of Surgeon in their archetypal heavy, Northern style, while London’s Perc and Glasgow’s Alex Smoke turn Muggerscum Out in their own unique way.

The Black Dog’s Sheffield Muggerscum Out is puristic in nature. With a stripped and straight feel to it, the remix works around the distorted stab hook and its feedback effects, as a rising and falling hi- pitched synth add the panic. Wait for the boot-shaking bass.

Their Moseley Muggerscum Out mix revolves around consistently heavy sub-bass and the effected stab, where more swing and an upbeat groove slips through. This Black Dog’s Moseley mix plays very close to home for Surgeon fans.
Thoroughly jacking and respectful to the original both the Black Dog’s Sheffield and Moseley mixes are sure-fire tickets for dancefloor lunacy.

Alex Smoke brings the busiest remix to the table, with complex layers of percussion and synths. His wonderful ability to create intricate and evolving progressions in his music shine through in this Muggerscum Out remix. Levelling out around the two thirds mark Alex keeps his dog on the leash, showing the restraint and poise his productions are famous for.

Perc’s broken beat remix twists the original into an even more aggressive track (if that is even possible!) A mammoth kick drum sits on deep sub bass, while claps and cracks fill the holes in between these monstrous beats.


Surgeon - Muggerscum Out (Perc Remix) - Soma 309d

M_Rec Ltd continues to ascend as one of the the most interesting labels in the techno scene. Today's release sees Giorgio Gigli (Prologue Music, Zooloft, Electric Deluxe, Elettronica Romana, etc.) sign two original tracks and a remix of one of the most important artists of the past few years: Terence Fixmer (Electric Deluxe, Prologue Music, etc.). Together, their approach creates something special and unique. In its original track Giorgio Gigli delivers the best of its hypnotic and psychedelic techno. A great atmosphere, where the ambient pads meet the dark bass sound which made Giorgio one of the most significant artists in the new techno scene. The side closes with an ambient session; a drone of pure electronic,dark synth, making the idea of the state of mind of his own individual unconscious.Terence Fixmer's version is decidedly more rough, stripped of certain atmospheres, highlighting a more hypnotic and repetitive attitude. This rough sounds have for many years marked Terence Fixmer as an icon of the techno world. 
This is a great release of modern techno!

emptyset is a bristol based project formed in 2005 by james ginzburg, director of the multiverse studios and the curator and electronic artist paul purgas. the project explores the legacy of analogue media, integrating aspects of rhythm, signal processing and spatial recording within the framework of minimalist composition. their work interrogates the perceptual boundaries between noise and music and the potential for both technology and architecture to embed and codify themselves within sound.

collapsed is emptyset’s first release on raster-noton and investigates the threshold where sonic structure is destabilized to the point where a chaotic order emerges out of a resistance to fragmentation and likewise explores the potential contained within this liminal space of transition. across the four tracks of the release a structural grammar is defined and then pushed to excess to the point where it reforms from repetitive and stable frameworks into non-grid based forms and ultimately chaotic rule sets.
