I'm pleased to announce a new project that will replace the 'premieres' process for @DarkScienceElectro on Soundcloud. The name of this new endeavor is 'Electro Rewind'. The idea behind it is to shed light on some older tracks that people might have missed. Not only is this meant to engage new fans of Electro (of which there are many) with some old content that they may be unacquainted with, but also to bring smiles to those long-time fans who remember the years past in Electro music. 

My following on Soundcloud currently sits at 16,000 and my weekly listens hover around the 10k mark so I want to use my remaining 'reach' as much as I can to strengthen our beloved genre in any way that I can. Of course, that has always been my intention with everything I have done in my unpaid role as curator of Dark Science Electro. The new process called 'Electro Rewind' can be thought of like a reverse premiere of sorts and will contain links to current projects by the artist as well as additional resources for that artist. This process will be invite-only and will likely be limited to 1 or 2 posts per week to avoid over-saturation. I will, of course not be monetizing the tracks I publish to ensure that I don't profit off the brilliant, classic music of my colleagues.

@Volsoc is an American Electro project, consisting of Justin Maxwell and Jean-Paul Bondy.

Electro Rewind: Volsoc - Shout Out (2002)

This @DarkScienceElectro Rewind we take a listen to one of the most influential Electro producers from the 2000's - @BorisDivider - He has released with such labels as Semantica Records, Fundamental Records, Propaganda Moscow, Satamile, and his own imprint @drivecom - Among his audio production accomplishments, he is also a sound designer and audiovisual composer. This Spanish producer has too many good songs to name but this track really stands out to me. Maybe it is its inclusion in the 2005 documentary 'Darkbeat' (https://tinyurl.com/darkbeatelectro) that makes it hold such a special place in my heart. Either way, the track is a classic.

@Univac-Geistform is the focus of this @DarkScienceElectro Rewind.

Since 2010, the Univac project was created by Rafael M. Espinosa in Spain. He is also the creator of the electronic techno-industrial project @Geistform - This track appeared on his debut record on @bunkerrecordsofficial - His sound hovers somewhere between Detroit Electro like Drexciya and Machine Funk from The Hague. This entire album is gold and is highly recommended by me. Bunker has made it available digitally on their Bandcamp. Be sure to check out his recent releases on @Moustache-Records and @MelodizeMusic

Electro Rewind: Univac - Untitled 1 (2011)

For this @DarkScienceElectro Rewind, we take a listen to a track from the maiden voyage of seminal label @CPUrecords by Electro master @Cygnus 

Phillip Washington is an electronic musician based in Texas. His influences include Electro, IDM, experimental hardcore bass, and more. His technical approach mixes the versatility of software with the touch and feel of hardware to create a timeless mixture of electronic beats and melody. Cygnus has been producing music under this alias since 2011 and has brought us some of the freshest Electro of the last decade. He manages to pay homage to classic Electro, while at the same time pushing the genre forward. There is a certain feeling of soulfulness that can be heard in his music that, I think, isn't matched by anyone before or currently.

For this @DarkScienceElectro Rewind we check in with @The-Exaltics - Rob started his career as a resident DJ at the Club Kassablanca in Jena, where he performed with big players such as Robert Hood, Jeff Mills and Claude Young.  Robert founded the project @The-Exaltics in 2006 as well as the Electro/Techno label SolarOneMusic with his long-term friend Nico Jagiella. Since then he published countless 12"s and several LPs with labels like Clone, Crème Organization, Bunker, or his own label @Solar_One_Music and worked during that time with outstanding artists like Gerald Donald, Helena Hauff, or ERP for example. He turned his deep cinematic and most of all charismatic Electro into his own trademark. Another signature is his special dark-driven Acid Techno. During his intense live performances, Robert presents his unique version of Electro and Acid music.

Electro Rewind: The Exaltics - Dark Value (2009)

For this @DarkScienceElectro Rewind, we check in with @Morphology-Electronics

This Finnish duo has been lighting up the world of Electro with their spacey, melodic music since 2009. This track was taken from their debut EP on Abstract Forms. I've been a long-time supporter of their music playing them regularly on my show and even dedicating an entire mix to their music which can be found here: https://soundcloud.com/dvsnme/dark-science-electro-on-b-a-s-s-radio-morphology

The duo still is quite active having just released a full-length LP in 2020.

@Franck-Kartell is the subject of this @DarkScienceElectro Rewind. Fans of my outlet will certainly know the name Franck Kartell, as he has been a constantly played artist on DSE over the years. So much so that I devoted a non-stop mix to his music found here: https://soundcloud.com/dvsnme/dark-science-electro-presents-franck-kartell

Franck has an ear for making chilling Electro that has a sense of sadness and longing in it that I don't think that many can pull off. Whether it is a downtempo track or a floor-ready uptempo Electro gem, Franck has consistently put out great music since his debut in 2005.

For this @DarkScienceElectro Rewind we check out this legendary release by Italian producer @Kobol-Electronics

Originally released by @MinimalRome in 2007, this album has become a necessary staple in any collection for fans of Detroit Electro/Techno. Echoing the sound of Dopplereffekt, this album strips down the contained music into wonderful sound design and minimal production to create soulful yet cold Electro.

For this @DarkScienceElectro Rewind we check in with a long-time friend of the show @Plant43

Since his 2005 debut, Emile has put out some of the most cherished Electro music produced in the last two decades. Very much one of the most sought-after producers in the game, and for good reason. His music really shines due to the thoughtful melodies that he dreams up and the lush, melancholy soundscapes found throughout his discography.

Cultek was the project of Phil Bolland of @cultivated-electronics (Sync 24) and Rob Smith.

With only one release as the duo on the legendary @touchin-bass label, this duo, unfortunately, never returned. The one EP that they did produce is still on rotation in my household and has been for many years. Thoughtful, minimal Electro that everyone should hear.

Then in 2012, he started focusing more on Electro with the Biodread project. He released only a small handful of EPs on @x0xrecord, the aforementioned AC Records, and self-released a full-length himself.

Electro Rewind - Biodread - The Machines Won (2013)

This week we highlight the work of UK Electro wizard Phil Klein, also known as Bass Junkie. 

Starting in 1996, Phil began 'Battle Trax' to distribute his brutal brand of bass-fuelled beats, though he has released music since 94. Fans were soon enjoying large doses of Cybernet Systems, Final Dreams, Industrial Bass Machines and Kronos Devices - all variants of the highly addictive Bass Junkie sound. This track comes right off his 2009 release 'Comply', though the song was originally released in 2003 on the legendary ‘Breakin’ Records’.

For this @DarkScienceElectro series entitled 'Electro Rewind' we turn to one of the oldest friends of the show, my man, @Koova from London.

Gavin Pykerman is the brilliant man behind @Koova - He was also a founding member of the well-known London collective @London-Modular-Alliance - The track I selected comes right off his debut EP on the short-lived 'Robodisco' record label. He has put out roughly 13 different releases on various labels and has a distinct sound that is generated from his knowledge of synthesis and appreciation of vintage analog gear.

For this @DarkScienceElectro installment of 'Electro Rewind' we take a solemn listen to a track from the debut release by Maltese producer @Microlith

Sadly the same way that I, personally, barely got to know him in the years that I knew him, the world of Electro lost an amazing talent in February of 2017 when he was taken far too early at the age of 24. In the time he was able to, he produced some of the lushest, most thoughtful, emotional Electro music that I have ever heard. I will forever be grateful for his presence within the community and the amazing music he produced during his time.
