Sadness Management #01 - Laroze (20.02.23)

He was stood on the corner by himself, minding his business as the traffic went swiftly on by. He didn’t have anywhere to go that day so it seemed right and fit to set up shop on the corner with little else but the shoes on his feet and the bang of a drum which echoed from a dusty old speaker that he’d brought alongside.

He took a sip of his drink, lit up a cigarette and began to shuffle slowly in time with the drums. He’d come here quite often, from time to time folk might come watch before they began hustling and bustling on again with their days. He cared little if they stared or not.

This was is happy place and as the music began to grow louder so too did his pace. This was the Sanskrit Body Rock and that’s what he’d give em’.

Marcellus Pittman is set to release a new EP on Acid Test – a raucous record which aligns perfectly with the rough and ready sensibilities best associated with the House music of Detroit and Marcellus’ own roots. This one bumps loud in the club and Marcellus Pittman’s music fits well alongside the heritage of Acid Test as a record label.

PREMIERE: Marcellus Pittman - Sanskrit Body Rock. [Acid Test]

Her heart rate began to quicken and her breath shorten; the pressure was unlike anything she'd experienced before. Orders were being barked from all sides of the room, as soon as she began the first task, there was already another three that needed to be fulfilled. She thought she'd thrive in this environment, that it would push her out of her comfort zone, but she hadn't imagined it would be this intense. Maybe she wasn't cut out for it, but for now she just had to make it through this service...

Key Clef's next release celebrates the foundations of her label Ipnotica Erotica, in both sound and name. The Berlin-based producer and live artist has a foot in several different musical worlds, from club music to electro acoustics and performance art, as well as a background in sound engineering, all of which play a part in her refined analogue productions. There's a slickness and a no bells and whistles approach to all three tracks which showcase her deftness at synthesis and ability to create unfolding compositions that weave together metallic, stripped back techno and electro sounds.

Close your eyes and merge into Benedikt Frey’s 'Fastlane'. Imagine sitting in the driver’s seat of a an automobile, one with exceptional horsepower and torque, as you stare out the windshield at the red light, warping in fata-morgana a mile down the road. It’s a straight-away, a black top with two lanes, and against your better judgment you decide to floor the gas. No hesitation in your muscle, your ankle or the ball of your foot, which you now realize is some kind of universal pivot, the first point of contact fusing your body with the will of machine. In this moment you’re in awe that you, a human, an animal, grew from pond scum into something so advanced as to engineer this thing, a mechanical beast capable of overwhelming power and exhilaration. But you also feel a seductive dread, an outside force diverting you from caution toward a dangling carrot of curiosity, asking yourself, ‘How far can I take this thing?’ The dread, now a constant, is numbed, equalized by an adverse intoxicating gratification. You feel both sensations in real time, however, rather than take responsibility for yourself, friends, family and innocent bystanders, you cement your foot to the floor and lean your head back. Noise around you fades to mute. Smell the benzene-scented air, feel the wind on your face, the menacing vibration of the vessel you control beneath you and every grain of asphalt under its tires. This mile has now lasted an eternity and you’ve left your body for some objective view, as if watching climax of a film. Past the point of no return, you embrace abandon and lean into fate. The film becomes slow motion, a crawling pace so mesmerizing you convince yourself of an option to eject yourself from this madness, but as you finally let go of your last morsel of fear, you run the red light head-on into the nucleus of a fantastic glistening sculpture of torn metal, glass, oil, broken dreams and heartache. 'Fastlane' may be just drum machines and synthesizers if you’re timid, but listen harder and know the catastrophic reality of existence, a wreckage so gruesome we dare not rubberneck, but afterall it is our nature to stare.

PREMIERE | Benedikt Frey - Solver [ESP Institute] 2023

Olivia returns to Dalmata Daniel with her debut album after her EPs on Pinkman and Dom Trojga and split vinyl with Tel Aviv-based Rapha on our label lately.

The unique-sounding Krakow-based producer with 'Sen' gives us a glimpse into her enigmatic and obscure world, where the boundaries between reality and the abyss blur. Embrace the darkness as pulsating beats collide with haunting melodies, propelling you through an enigmatic underworld.

This new full length album is another testament to Olivia's unrivaled artistry and her ability to traverse the boundaries, how she uses it, turn it upside down and mutated electro, techno, industrial and EBM genres in her own way.

Labels' debut embarks on an inter-dimensional voyage. Tabensi, Théo Muller and Transe Ar Gwez are to be the breton guides accompanying you in the front seat. They are to be cordially supported by Los Pashminas, A-Tweed, Oltrefuturo, Kendu Bari, Shjva, X.C.I, Isabel Del Bosco and Orphic. Together, they awaken the estuary's abyss. A far-away echo of mermaid song will emerge from the shadows and come into the light. A forgotten tale of mysterious spirit, soothing nostalgia, dark ardor is resurfacing, set to the sound of trippy synth melodies and resounding drums.
