Moscow based Ivan Karasev aka Torn inked his Samurai affiliation in 2017 with his first-ever solo vinyl release on Shiro, a sub-label for highlighting new artists. 

In the 5 years that have passed since this release, the Torn name has progressed into a widescreen sonic project leaving an indelible mark not only on DnB but also reaching into the outer edges of the underground Techno scene. 

As well as his monster debut EP (Internal - SMDE10) on the main Samurai label in 2018, Torn became one of the few artists to garner a release on Homemade Weapons' imprint Weaponry in 2019, a year which also saw him release an EP of Grey Area style Techno on Horo and a collab EP in the same style with Sam KDC and Korse as Vermisst, also on Horo. 

Since these releases, Torn has teamed up with fellow Russian artist Roho for an EP of percussive floor shakers in 2021 on Samurai Music (Fatum - SMDE19) and several self-released projects direct to his growing base of devoted Torn heads. In the background, the last few years Ivan has been diligently refining and experimenting with constructions for his debut LP for the Samurai Music label.

Borderline fulfils the promise of Ivans musical ascendancy in our sub-scene netherworld between DnB and Techno. Gut-punch kicks entwine with dense atmospheric layers, gnawing mid-riffs, and impeccably honed percussive propulsion. The cake is iced meticulously with guest collabs from Samurai Music top tier affiliates Homemade Weapons, Last Life, label head Presha and a tempo switch up to close the LP with the help of dungeon master Sam KDC and close cohort Korse.

Borderline plants a confident, empowered, flag on the electronic music landscape with Torn's name on it.

Borderline

Torn - The Beckoning [SMDELP08]

A new year begins and with it come two new adherents to the cult of AWRA, Esthetic & Reac-Zo.

The Russian duo offer up a pair of ritualistic cuts; electronic hymns built to put bleak winter dancefloors into a dance trance.

Propelled by a murderous low-end throb, ‘Innunaki’ is a masterclass in hypnotic halftime, its methodical stomp enlivened by the the clickety-clack of percussion gone feral.

‘Magen’ is equally ominous, dropping the tempo but delivering a barrage of kicks, mystic pads and a bleep that relentlessly bores away at the nerves — as if from a radar alerting to an unknown entity lurking dangerously close.

YHVHSQUAD - 電影 LIGHTNING EP [SYH005]

We are very proud to announce what will be our first reference of the year 2022. We welcome the mysterious and newcomer Japanese group YHVHSQUAD who make their debut on our label with their work called "電影 Lightning". YHVHSQUAD has released recent works on the Kurnugû or Zodiac Music labels with a very defined style within experimental Drum & Bass and they come to our label with a 4 Track EP that includes a collaboration with Missive where they take us into their Industrial, psychological and experimental sound, characterized by dirty basses, noises and corrosive distortions combined with wicked drums and percussion. Delighted with this sound proposal, we hope you enjoy the experience!!!

[Pinecone Moonshine 060] Paluca - The Art is Getting Older

A. Hello, Eraserhead
B. Choosing the Right Answer
C. The Art of Living Without a Head

Paluca’s “The Art is Getting Older” steps away from the expected Drum and Bass progressions. This EP has a cinematic feel with long passages dedicated to sound effects taking time to build back to the percussion.

Mastered by Macc.
Artwork by Scratch and Line.
