IM095 - Infinite Machine 10 Years Compilation
Label: Infinite Machine
Release Date: December 3rd, 2021
Format: Digital

Celebrating 10 years of solidly cerebral club music releases, Infinite Machine is celebrating its first decade with an 19 -track compilation full of heat from label mainstays, new signees and some of the friends who helped them along the way. Infinite Machine was born out of a desire to run an dance imprint with the same DIY ethos as the hardcore/screamo labels that xWOLFx, IM's owner, was previously involved with. Over its decade-long lifespan, the label has rapidly evolved into a central figure within the hybrid dance music scene that’s formed on the internet; a place where dembow drum patterns can easily sit next to Sinogrime samples and dubstep sensibilities. In the last few years, as the label and it’s artists have matured, Infinite Machine’s output has taken a slightly cyberpunk turn, moving away from pure dance-floor slammers and towards more conceptual works which deal with our ultra-accelerated culture or soundtrack imagined off-planet worlds.

Some highlights from the release include Galtier’s ‘My Mess is a Face’, a real head-spinner full of granular synthesis and warped sample work. Later on in the comp, Bungalovv delivers a sensory delight with ‘Alacran’, a track so dense with layers of sound design it feels like you can sink your teeth into it. All Centre signee Duswunder pops up mid-way through the release with the frenetic and furious ‘Black Bile’ which is absolutely not a track to be missed. IDM upstart Daniel Ruane’s contribution ‘ZZZZZ’ is hypnotic perfection - one of those compositions that really has to be heard to be believed. Towards the end of the release, long-time Infinite Machine signee Yilan appears with ‘Cortisol’, another slow mind-bender of a track full of siren-like synths and rolling stutters of percussion. And rounding out proceedings is W3C’s ‘Templar’, a great example of the sort of forward-thinking music Infinite Machine loves to release. It’s a track rooted in club culture but, at the same time, transposed away from that context to some other-worldly space.

In an era of dance music consumption where genre trends or in-vogue labels can rapidly switch from flavour of the month to faint memories, this 10-year milestone is a testament to the independent label's unwavering enthusiasm for unearthing fresh talent and pushing our releases at a relentless pace, much like the hardcore labels xWOLFx previously ran. Three cheers for another decade of jaw dropping releases and Infinite Machine's commitment to the church of DIY.

1. Dubbing Myself
2. Cruisin
3. Cruisin (Tatradang Remix)

The "Dubbing Myself EP" heralds W3C's return to sonic experimentation, diving deep into the roots and future of soundsystem culture. Paying homage to the rich lineage of UK electronic music, the EP also serves as a meditation on W3C's creative evolution.

The title track draws from the spirit of Foul Play's legendary 1992 classic "Dubbing You," yet stands firmly on its own ground. Gritty percussion and a brooding bassline drive the track, channeling the soul of 90s Jungle and Hardcore into a contemporary techno journey brimming with tension.

"Cruisin" takes a different path, melding earthy textures, tribal rhythms, and hints of Latin flair into a hypnotic exploration of dub techno. A deep sub-bass anchors the track, as it shifts between the driving precision of a 4/4 techno rhythm and the frenetic energy of breakbeats.

Closing the release, Tatradang (formerly minciisha ieraksti) reimagines "Cruisin" with a Brazilian funk-inspired rework. Centered around powerful kick drums and dynamic percussion, the remix weaves in enigmatic flutes and string instruments, amplifying the original’s Latin pulse while confidently emphasizing its own identity.

We're back with a recently decrypted transmission from the far reaches of outer space. These three W3C tracks have been floating undiscovered for nearly a decade, only now resurfacing — fully remastered for your listening pleasure.

First up is "WarTek", a collaboration with the legendary Latvian beatmaker & producer Oriole. The track is a bold re-imagining of '90s Hardcore — a relentless belter driven by pounding kicks, a nasty bassline, and snares so sharp they will leave you reeling. It goes hard, and it knows it!

Next, you've got to watch out— a devious cyborg serpent is on the prowl, and you're its ideal prey. "Mecharattler" insidiously lures you in with hypnotic, rattling percussion and atmospheric hissing before ambushing you with earth-shattering kicks and ice-cold bass stabs. This twisted creation is a collaboration with Tatradang, so you better watch out for that guy!

Finally, what was once a beautiful ballad by W3C and Body Double seems to have been corrupted by an artificial bacteria of their own making. The intricate melodies have vanished, replaced by mechanical chittering and surgically sharp yet twisted bass detonations. The result is "Contamination" — a more industrial spin on the cold, abrasive grime instrumentals of years past.

"Mariposa EP" is a fresh reimagining of dubstep — one that breaks away from familiar genre tropes while doubling as a tribute to some of the most personally influential video games to W3C.

It kicks off with "Rise and Shine," a celebration of the 20-year anniversary of Half-Life 2 (2004). Much like in the game, you're woken up and thrown straight into action, with industrial ambiance and a downright menacing bassline setting the tone.

The title track, "Mariposa," reworks the Brian Eno-esque ambient soundtrack of Fallout 1 (1997) into a more dramatic but equally enigmatic trip through bottomless subbass.

"Resonance Cascade" channels the claustrophobic energy of Half-Life 1 (1998) into what seems like a classic dubstep shape — until it suddenly accelerates into a corrosive techno roller in its second act.

Rounding things out, "The Land of Opportunity" is a leftfield dubstep spin on the already ice-cold theme of GTA4 (2008), driven by a fittingly off-kilter kick pattern.

Year Of The Blood Moon [Mumdance B2B Pinch - RinseFM 12th September 2017]

Artist: @dj-w3c
Title: Event Horizon
Release Date: March 1st
Format: Album (Digital)
Artwork by: Alessandro de Angelis

W3C returns to Infinite Machine following-up his highly acclaimed "State Of Absolute Alienation" EP released in 2017.

"Event Horizon" symbolically portrays a trip into a very distant and completely alien region of space in which many of our preconceptions are turned on their head. Especially those of what the UK sound is and what you can potentially do with it.

Thoroughly emphasized is the interaction and symbiosis of the old and the new, the known and the unknown. As the symbolic space vessel enters the deep unknown of our universe, the well known characteristics and traits of the UK sound get mangled and mutated into something wholly different.

When listening and passing through the "Event Horizon" you enter into a realm of epic, unimagined vistas of sound, of deep, all-consuming waves of bass and of a deeply strange and primordial quality.
