Project 1

Tóxico and Subject To Restrictions Discs present a retrospective on Switzerland's hidden analogue gear scene from 2017 and 2018. A vibrant yet undocumented chapter in the country's music history. The 10 tracks, originally released exclusively on cassette and heard only by a small circle of listeners, are now compiled for the first time on vinyl as “Tóxico Tapes”. The collection captures the scene's raw, hands-on energy through off-kilter rhythms, low-key EBM, ominous wave and free-form synth excursions.

Founded and curated by the former DJ and producer Narco Marco, the Tóxico label became a hub for Switzerland's analogue gear enthusiasts. Between 2016 and 2020, it released a series of 10 tapes – albums and compilations – that now stand as a blueprint of the DIY, machine-driven underground of the time. Narco Marco is a key figure in Swiss electronic music. As a long-time clerk at “Oldiesshop” record store in Bern, he has championed eclectic sounds across decades. His in-depth knowledge of 1980s music, combined with his work as a musician, avid record collector, and founder of the “Hot Jam” label, influenced an entire generation of musicians and DJs in Switzerland at the time.

Subject To Restrictions Discs joins forces with Narco Marco to present a selected set of 10 songs as a tribute to Tóxico and this creative era. The material draws primarily from the Autumn Tape and Winter Tape compilations, which spotlighted artists from Zurich and Bern – two cities at the heart of this analogue revival.

A dark and ritualistic track, Véu de Cinzas captures the essence of mystery and obscurity. Distorted synths, heavy atmospheres, and sharp textures bring the listener deeper into the world of Salmos e Cinzas.

Javier Valencia - While It Burns (Original mix) [Disrupted Music]

'What is this that haunts us, a million whispers in dark rooms and shadows behind the eyes? You and I are specters in a world that exists only between us. You see through the filtery facade, there is a truth that thangs like particles in sunshine, no one can drive them away. We hang here forever. We are the air, breathe us in.'

Premiere: Allies For Everyone - Fuel (Clawz SG Remix) [Lost Diaries]

Mind Against return to Hotflush with a four-track EP of spiralling, hypnotic techno. 

Delving further into their sparse brand of dark, meditative techno, the Italian duo forge an understated but emotive EP of swirling textures and subtle harmonies. Drawing upon elements of trance, ambient and IDM, Explorer is a refined package of introspective sonic wanderings.

05. Phormosa (Schlepp Geist Remix)

Originating from Berlin, now based in Singapore, Rodaq produces the kind of loopy, mesmerizing deep sounds we love. Loaded with lustrous synths and trippy, undulating rhythms, he delivers two new originals along with powerful remixes by Schlepp Geist, Uone and Yapacc.

“Pollock Hill” gives you that lost in a moment feeling. A haunting, fluid synth line and excited percussion is the centerpiece, both working in unison to evolve, twist and build interest throughout the track. Australia’s Uone takes us further into wonderland and gives this a deeper, hazy vibe. His interpretation kicks things into overdrive with the addition of dreamy guitar harmonies, lush piano chords, gorgeous operatic vocals and booming horn stabs that cut through the track and standout. Rounding out the remixes is fellow Berliner Yapacc who incorporates the original synths, but amplifies it with dramatic drums, muscular percussion and a punchy, melodic bass line.

“Phormosa” is a dreamy, intricate affair of synth heavy bass lines, complex melodies and tension building in all the right places. Schlepp Geist delivers a heaving version that fires up the energy with blurring melodies, relentless analog stabs and celestial synths that modulate and climax throughout the track. His keen sense of what makes a dance floor go wild is evident here - a real weapon!

We are proud to present you the first No Distance EP on our label.   No Distance is a new alias of the label owners Peter Makto & Gregory S. 

After their successful remix for Doma’s ‘Andromeda’ (TSM047), they are here with 2 trippy originals.   

The title track 'Voices in the Fog’ is a driving emotive melodic house tune, while the 2nd track ‘Magnolia’ has deep roots in the early 2000’s Progressive era.   

As an icing on the cake, we asked Lexer (Einmusika) to make a remix for ‘Voices in the fog’ and the result is truly exceptional.

  Listen it for yourself and pick your favorite!

Hotly tipped newcomer Yulia Niko joins the Watergate collective, delivering an exciting label debut to mark the occasion.

The Russian-born, Berlin-based artist has piqued the ears of heads with quality releases on Crosstown Rebels, Get Physical and her own TochnoTechno imprint. She steps up for Watergate Records with an inspiring maiden EP, augmented by remixes from YokoO and Francesco Mami.

‘Manifesto’ is the intriguing opener, as intergalactic synths rub shoulders with a chugging groove for an ultra-cool finish. ‘Passion’ is heavy on vibes, pairing an enchanting vocal with a colourful bed of percussion. YokoO contributes a subterranean ‘Defragmentation’ remix of ‘Manifesto’ on the minimal tip, before adding some warmth to the palette teaming up with Francesco Mami for a ‘Vegas Mix’ primed for the afterhours with its deep grooves and shuffling beats. ‘Hurts So Slow’ reinforces Niko’s versatility, imbuing a dusty house vibe primed for late night sessions.

Just weeks after releasing his new studio album Flourish, Damian Lazarus returns with two cinematic remixes of the lauded Jem Cooke collaboration ‘Into The Sun’. Damian carefully chose two of modern electronic music’s most celebrated producers to reimagine the original, welcoming unique takes from Mano Le Tough and Nathan Fake. 

Lazarus remains a curator fixated on showcasing new sounds and emerging talent in everything he does. Much like his tenure breaking artists and pushing boundaries through the influence of Crosstown Rebels, he has brought an innate sense of purpose to Flourish’s remix selection. 

The package leads with the distinctly delicate touch of Mano Le Tough, an Irishman who’s quest for deeper dancefloors has made him one of scene’s most in demand artists. Mano’s Crosstown debut adds to an already decorated discography across labels like Pampa, Permanent Vacation and his own Maeve. Adorned with his signature pitch bending and uniquely layered percussion, his remix retains the hopefulness embodied by the original while priming it for the return of rave. 

Nathan Fake brings a different set of tools to the package, wielding a sense of grit and atmosphere that can be heard throughout his Blizzards album released this year on his own Cambria Instruments. His remix retains the broken beat energy and haunting mood of ‘Into The Sun’ while remapping its melody for both beauty and cadence. It is this elevated understanding of texture and suspense that has earned mainstay status from Ninja Tune and Border Community, while attracting remixes for Radiohead, Jon Hopkins and Tiefschwarz to name a few.

The tumultuous and trying year for music all but behind us, Culprit looks forward into a hopeful future with the first release of 2021. It also marks a milestone for the Los Angeles label – their 100th release. Who better to usher the new era than the two immense and unique talents synonymous with Culprit of the last few years – Lorenzo Dada and Clarian.

At the controls is Rome-based and California-inspired Lorenzo Dada. His fifth Culprit release continues to chart his artistic – and personal – growth. Always a producer of skill and musicality, Lorenzo here expands the range with guitar and saxophone joining beloved keyboards/piano. “Very Personal” might be further from a club dancefloor than Lorenzo’s other label releases, but depth of the ideas and confident execution are of the highest order. The resulting blend of Indie and slow burn Techno is the sound of the producer coming into his own.

Clarian adds the inimitable sonic stamp to “Very Personal.” His love of the cinematic, New Wave-inspired Electronica shows through in the shimmering track. It’s arguably the most organic combination of an original and a rework Culprit has ever put out.

We hope you enjoy this track as much as we do.
