press release: 
MECHANICAL RITUALS: 23 years after his EP for Drone Records (DR-28, as CRAWL UNIT) we are proud to release another / new work of conceptual / minimal / object drone artist JOE COLLEY from California.   
We think JOE COLLEY (*1972) is a master of using mechanical object sounds and electronic static, but also strange low fi found found sources and field recordings, creating alienating, surrealistic effects, similar to the likes of SMALL CRUEL PARTY, JIM HAYNES, DAS SYNTHETISCHE MISCHGEWEBE or even the more experimental side of ZOVIET FRANCE...  
His newer compositions seem always to be filled with electro-magnetic hummings, strange hissing and the pourings of metallic objects as a basis, but you never find the use real instruments, synths, or masses of effect procession. Thus a very own scent of mystery appears, as all of these radiations are not really from this planet, without any "cosmic" connotations..
For the creator, these sounds are connected with unreal emotions of "Being Lost", a mistrust in what may be called reality, and a general feeling of alienation... - you can only wonder how this can result in such beautiful droning expanses.. 
Presented here are over 30 minutes of very best new COLLEY material (entitled   "Limit / Limit"  und "Always I / Always II") => through these drones of strangeness the mind is thrown inside an unrecognizable and confusing realm of broken electricity and something like audible-made atmospheric pressure.. 
Lim. 300 copies with artwork by dutch designer and micro label hero MEEUW, using a special silver print (on reverse board), BLACK vinyl. glossy black inner sleeves.

REVIEW:  "When Joe Colley speaks about his work and even about his life, he shrugs in an awkward attempt to stave off an existential frustration that not only his work addresses but also seems to consume his identity. There are numerous metaphors through his titles that allude to endless failures and a nihilism full of contempt, but Colley also implores a desperate urgency to express these poetics no matter how painful they may be. For three decades now, Colley has been a central and persistent figure in the California noise community. First recording under the moniker Crawl Unit and running the short-lived Povertech label, Colley presented a preternaturally strong acumen of electro-acoustic techniques and abstraction through a vast language of blistered textures, atonal noise, and gnarled drone. By 2000, he dropped the Crawl Unit moniker in favor of his own name with an ongoing discography of damaged yet exploratory electronics. 

Colley returns to Drone Records for this 10" on the Substantia Innominata series, many years after his Crawl Unit "Tuscon Mon Amour" 7." In describing "Acting As If," Colley offers a vague series of descriptors: unheimlich, terror of the familiar, and no faith in what is "real." Within the sustained movements of scrabbling textures, motorized abrasions, and uncomfortable harmonics, such conditions are made manifest and Colley amplifies them into something eeriely sublime. 
All of that held within a self-contained logic that works within and against his deep knowledge of drone-on minimalism, musique concrete dynamics, and the explosiveness of noise culture. His swarming masses, throttled rumbling, and smoldering tension are all encircling and folding in on themselves. Rhizomes of sound that speak poison. Drink up, if it doesn't kill you, it will only make you stronger. "- Jim Haynes / Northern California, 2023

[ SIRIO GRY J ]

Born in Rome late in the 80s, where he took his first steps deejaying and producing with Black Sam Records around 2010, he became the founder of 'Monolith Records' in 2014. 

As deejay, sound designer, resident of the former eclectic platform 'Liber Null Berlin', art director of the event series 'Metamorphosis Berlin', Sirio Grimaldi aka Sirio Gry J have been proposing sounds and concepts able to destabilize and renew the scene of Berlin during the last decade. 

Focusing on crafting, disclosing and supporting meaningful electronics, the mission to push the boundaries and deconstruct the standard methods led him to forge a unique dark aesthetic as the fruit of an uncompromisable vision which led to establish an identity that made him a key figure in the most underground circuits of the darker music scene of the arty Berlin. 

His work also reached the attention of Alessandro Bavari, Italian pioneer of the digital arts (also more recently director of the special effects sequences of Ridley Scott’s ‘Alien Covenant’), with whom he collaborated for several videos as sound designer and musician since 2017. 

Born in Rome and relocated to Berlin after studying music production in London, he’s been regularly playing in the most iconic clubs that consecrated the Berlin scene during its golden years (such as Berghain Säule, Tresor, About Blank, Grießmühle, KitKat Club, Suicide Circus, Arena Club, Urban Spree, OHM-ex Shift… to name a few) and exported his unique dj sets over Europe (in France, Italy, Greece, United Kingdom, Latvia) and Asia (Japan, South Korea, Taiwan), while releasing tightly on labels like Furanum Records, Overdraw, Mechanical Thoughts, Several Reasons along with the regular contributions for his own imprint Monolith Records and Liber Null Berlin.

Owl ~ Infinite Horizon [SSD12] 

Infinite Horizon is a deep and introspective journey to unexplored lands. A dense fog settled in the valley. the moon shines through the haze. A glimpse of the decline, the vision blurred, nothing seemed real. After losing cohesion, the body lies down and takes the horizon line of the soul. The sleeper becomes the awakened from the shadows. Lost in the hidden forest, In search of the infinite horizon. It will follow the passage of the two lands between light and dark. A distant transmission keeping the hope of reaching it one day. « The horizon emphasizes the infinite »

DRONE RECORDS is a label-project and mailorder-service for mainly atmospheric & experimental music, based in Bremen, Germany.

DRONE RECORDS as a (vinyl-only) LABEL started in 1993 with a very idealistic, uncommercial attitude & philosophy, influenced by the independent cassette-culture scene from the 80’s.

The 7"-label series was active from 1993 to 2010 with 100 released "drones" (7" EPs), presenting mainly newcomers from the international experimental "drone"-scene.

In the meantime, late 2005 a second series / sub-label has started, this time on 10"-vinyls, named SUBSTANTIA INNOMINATA. This series with a special concept embracing the "Unknown" could be seen as an interface between experimental music & cultural science, psychoanalysis and philosophy. See www.substantia-innominata.de for details.

Now, at the end of the year 2011, we have started a new LP-series called "DRONE-MIND//MIND-DRONE" - dedicated to the drones of the world - and the drones of our minds. Presenting 4 artists for each volume, this is a continuation of the drone 7" concept, the new era of drones !
