Which artist has influenced you the most?

- Too many to mention, I get loads of inspiration from a lot of people of different genres of music, be it electronic or rock/guitar music/classical. For electronic, I would ultimately say my biggest influence/inspiration would be Richard.D.James. He's just fearless and totally true to himself and his sound, immensely talented individual. His music has got me through so much in my life and I am eternally indebted. I think my music has alot of the spirit of what he's doing but hopefully it's not plagiarized or a ripoff, I think I've found my own sound over the years.

What new projects/releases with your participation are expected in the near future?

- I have a new album coming out late feb/march on Anil Lal's Altered Sense label, it's a double with alot of breakbeat and early 90s UK Hardcore spirit. There is also a split ep I have coming out with InkiPak (Jon) on Wavefunction which will be great to put out. Also a follow up ep on 030303 to my 'Polysynthesis' ep I had out with them. There may also be further material coming out on Furthur Electronix at some point, currently just archiving/stockpiling new material for that.

Which artists/labels is more relevant to you now?

- Mainly the ones I've released on, kindred spirits and a huge influence on me. Different people on different labels, but they are all wonderful, cool people who are easy to get along with 030303, Furthur Electronix, Brokntoys, La Beauté Du Négatif, Withhold etc. All wicked labels with so much talent on them.
Special shout out and respect to Mateo, Anwar, Anil Lal, Steijn, Neil Fulcrum 4. The list is too long to write here.

What inspires you now to create music?

- Can be anything, art, music, film, literature, being alive and living in the current. Knowing that without my music I would have nothing. It's easy to stay motivated if music is all you have.

In it, Artificiero delivers a sort of “electronic esoterica”, an inner ritual where repetitive beats and drones have an important roll. A ceremony where textures are more prominent than melody.

Discos Atónicos Podcast # 2 : BS–1

Recorded live at Sameheads 16.11.17 as part of the Discos Atónicos showcase presented by Alienata.

Artificiero Live + Dj Set (Discos Atónicos, Verlag System, ES)

ARTIFICIERO is the solo project of Alfonso Alfonso, a Spanish musician with a background in the psychedelic underground scene (with his band Schwarz). In it, he develops a sort of “electronic esoterica”, neither determined by nor dismissive of the dancefloor. Repetitive beats and ambient conforms his “dark avant techno”, always with a heavy psychedelic character.
Given the unclassifiable project, he has played live shows both in clubs, festivals, raves, auditoriums and art galleries. His last live set before going to Berlin was at the Keroxen Festival in the Canary Islands, Spain.
To date he has released two references: an untitled cassette for the Spanish label Verlag System in 2016 and a vinyl album, “Masa Negra”, for the Berlin-based label Discos Atónicos this year.

Discos Atónicos is proud to announce their new release: The Devotion EP a rare split 12" of the legendary queen of darkness, Beta Evers, and the founder of Discos Atónicos, Alienata.

Beta Evers has landed on Side A with 2 special tracks perfect for dark electro lovers and obscure diggers alike.

“Predictions“ is an unreleased track written & recorded during the years 2007/2008. Dark basslines, paranoid bleeps, snares that spank the mind and the unmistakably sexy voice of Evers make
this track perfect for the more obscure dance-floors.

“Bodyvolt Mix“ has Miss Evers digging into her back catalog, revisiting a track originally released in 2003 by Dutch Label, Creme Organization titled “Only For My Satisfaction“. 15 years later, the
synths have seemingly multiplied creating a stronger and dirtier version - You can feel the latex in your face.

Alienata finds herself on side B featuring her 9 minute trip titled Memory. The track was composed and recorded in one take at the Nation Studios in Chicago in the winter of 2012. Alienata flexes
a far reaching knowledge of genre bending with this one featuring influences from Gothic-Balearic rhythms to a Chicago house touch reminscent of the legend, Mr. Fingers. To sum it up in a few words, Hypno-beats for psychedelic minds.

TRACKLIST:
A1: Beta Evers – Predictions
A2: Beta Evers – Only For My Satisfaction (Bodyvolt Remix)

I am delighted to welcome electro master @DezWilliams to the @DiscosAtonicos camp, stepping up for the 4th installment. Hailing from the north of England, he is no stranger to the global electronic music scene yet prefers to remain within the domain of the underground - possessing a true artistic spirit for the simple act of creation. Having released music since the early 200’s on labels such as SCSI-AV, Cheap, Bass Agenda, Earwiggle, Killekill, Mechatronica, Bedouin, Shipwrec, New Flesh and his own imprint Elektronik Religion, Dez needs little introduction and i couldn’t be more pleased to have him onboard.
Staying true to form, Dez has delivered 5 amazing cuts impregnated with a strong dystopian atmosphere without straying from his signature electro style - crunchy bass lines, spaced out drama, alien funk and a touch of acid. A winning recipe.

Tracklist:
A1: Running Circles
A2: Dissasta
B1: In The Shadows
B2: Zapmaciak
Bonus Track: Flabber

Release Date: October 2018

Running Circles EP

[DATO04] Dez Williams – Running Circles EP - OUT NOW!

There is a certain type of weird effect that is generated by strange, repetitive loops. Ultrastation, the new project of Utrecht veterans Cosmic Force and Nuno Dos Santos, know this well. The two have teamed up to deliver the 4723 EP and we couldn’t be more thrilled to have them on board, joining our Discos Atónicos family. Within 4723, you’ll find four slabs of intergalactic pounding, cosmic modulations, deep resonances, repetitive bleeps and strange atmospheres: a kind of 'technoide soundtrack from outer space'.
Let's dance out of gravity

Black Jazz Consortium aka Fred P aka FP-ONER aka d- -b.  Few artists garner as much deserved attention and accolades as this former New Yorker.  Prolific as the day is long: delivering timeless afro-forms of rhythm and chorus: calling and responding to the past while in constant motion.  Fred P is a consortium, a coalescence of the past brought to this future present.  Like his body of work, it’s Hi-Tek soul distilled, complimented and reborn.  

Indelible artists have always borrowed from the greats. It’s the folk tradition that is the blues and jazz’s functional quality. To be spoken and expounded upon.  Evolution of Light is no different.  It stands on the shoulders of giants through four decades of contemporary American music.  Each Fred P release reminds us why this music of ours is the next iteration.  A linear addition to our endless chorus of drums, dance and soul. 

Evolution of Light isn’t so much an evolution of the past but a standard to hold alongside those who came before.

Evolution Of Light

@BlackJazzConsortium track "Resonate" will be released on the Album "Evolution of Light" through Perpetual Sound @fredp1 on November 8th. More Info: bit.ly/premiere_black_jazz_consortium

When Utrecht based acid/techno outfit Random XS resumed activity after many years of hibernation, their archive turned out to be full of unreleased recordings. After releasing some of it on labels like Shipwrec, Delsin and M.O.S., it’s now Discos Atónicos who unearthed some more hidden gems.
The A side of the EP ‘Reverse Deception’ features two intense electro/acid-style Random XS tracks, recorded in the late 1990s. Although it was still in the early days of the internet, inspiration came from the dark and invisible side of the online world: hacking, cybercrime and cyberwarfare. The track titles ’Titan Rain and ‘Stuxnet Code’ are a reflection of this.
The B side offers two more electro tracks, from the the same era but more on the melodic/old-school side. These two tracks are produced by Random XS member Zero One together with synthesizer aficionado Allert Aalders, also based in Utrecht. In the 1990s, he used to release and perform extensively together with the late Bert van de Grift as ‘’Human Beings’’. Although quite different in style, Random XS and Human Beings often joined the stage on local parties, equipment and knowledge was exchanged frequently.
Discos Atónicos, the label run by the Spanish, Berlin-based Alienata already had strong ties with the city of Utrecht. The catalogue features releases by BS-1 and Ultrastation, both based in Utrecht too. Maybe it’s because of the area code, 030, just like Berlin?
Tracklist:
A1 - Random XS - Titan Rain
A2 - Random XS - StuxNet Code
B1 - Zero One & Allert - Random Beings
B2 - Zero One & Allert - Human XS

Lead single from the "Psycho Romance and Other Spooky Ballads" LP (The Bunker New York BK-041)

Sometimes you want something so badly you don't even know to ask for it in the first place. Like Adam and Eve stumbling upon the fruit of knowledge — or psychedelic techno wizards Donato Dozzy and Retina.it (aka Lino Monaco and Nicola Buono) producing a pitch-perfect, vintage-styled minimal wave record, filled with icy synths, shuddering bass, and anthemic vocals, sounding like a lost gem unearthed from 1982 for the first time.

Except it's not — this record is brand new. The three Italians first came together under the moniker Le Officine Di Efesto, releasing an EP of murky left-field techno on Dozzy's own Spazio Disponibile. They quickly discovered a shared love of classic post-punk, wave, and synthpop, and not long after, Men With Secrets was born.

"Men With Secrets" might sound like an old-school synthpop act you've never heard of, but the name is actually borrowed from Richard Bone, an early New York electronic musician and minimal pop pioneer. The trio's name is but one of their many homages — Cabaret Voltaire, The Human League, New Order, and even Dopplereffekt are additional reference points — but this album is neither imitation nor rehash. It's just as carefully and ingeniously produced as you'd expect a record from Donato Dozzy and Retina.it to be, except it's filled with poppy hooks so brilliantly catchy they'll stick in your head until you hit 'Repeat' and find yourself singing along.

These Men With Secrets clearly have their tongue placed firmly in cheek: check the record's title and artwork for proof. But the music is deadly serious. The drums hit hard, the synths soar to emotional heights, and the vocals intone rhythmically. All of it's coated in the warm fuzz of analogue tape. Not many records on The Bunker New York are as likely to be played in goth clubs as they are by adventurous techno DJs, but then again, this is not your average Bunker New York record.
