You Have Already Been Assimilated

Kri Records strike back with a cassette compilation under an appropriate name: Trust the Rust! Rust dealers come from all over the globe. 

Nasty electro cuts are served by LA-based Ole Mic Odd who has released on labels such as Zement, Italian producer and the mighty Gravitational Waves owner DJ Nephil, British veteran Chupacabras with seals of approval on L.I.E.S. among others, and our Russian friend Larionov, who regularly puts out bangers for Rotterdam Electronix. 

The Electro part of the compilation is rounded by the local Ljubljana legend operating as a DJ and Honest Work label owner, 198319831983. EBM-ish march is saluted by Black Dot, the duo of Christian Kroupa and Le Chocolat Noir, soon releasing music on Mechatronica and responsible for our first release. Christian has also joined forces with the Dallas and Science Cult native Aura Nox. NYC and wave EBM bangers are represented by R Gamble, Spinal is an up-and-coming producer from Chile having released a great EP on Pildoras Tapes, while Bianco Negativo is an Italian duo behind one of our fav labels, Marguerite Records. 

10 tracks exploring the dark corners of Kri Records are available on a super cute cassette or digitally via Bandcamp.

PREMIERE • 198319831983 - Long Distance Transportation [KRI Records] ]

https://tehnopolis.bandcamp.com/album/fake-everything

Age of Revolt is the musical persona of seasoned DJ / producer and Ljubljana native Jakob Bekš (a.k.a. 198319831983 / TPROACH), focusing on tougher grooves, distorted drum machine patterns and uninhibited experimentation. An unwavering musical ethos intertwined with sociopolitical commentary has resulted in “Fake Everything” a powerful, sonically dense and unashamedly physical collection of dancefloor-oriented tracks that defy fleeting trends and pierce through the noise of our contemporary era.

“Fake Everything” serves as an admonitory indictment of the disquieting prevalence of manufactured narratives propagated through mainstream media channels and the brandification of the Self, the landscape of curated identities and algorithmic entrapments; a socio-cultural paradigm catalyzed by the ascendancy of social media platforms. In an era marked by the proliferation of deepfakes, where AI-generated synthetic media is already blurring the line between truth and fiction, the message resonates with heightened relevance.

Through relentless drums and hypnotic repetition interspersed with dissonant noises and jarring interruptions, the music mirrors the relentless onslaught of misinformation and distraction that besieges us daily. It invites the listener to rise above the labyrinthine terrain of cognitive dissonance that pervades the collective consciousness and illuminate the veiled veneers of digital personhood and consented reality.

We would like to think we have served up plenty of special treats in our podcast series so far, but this latest one is certainly one that many people will get very excited about. It is not often that Detroit key-figures step out and offer us a window into their current musical world, but that is what we have here from Sherard Ingram aka DJ Stingray. Famed for many reasons—not least for always DJing in a black balaclava—he is founder of the Urban Tribe super group with KDJ, C2 and Shake, was DJ for the legendary electro outfit Drexcyia and is also a fierce DJ and producer in his own right. He came up playing tough techno and electro in hardcore motorcycle clubs in the D, but is now a regular in the world’s finest underground spaces, where he pushes a dark, intense sound that is socially and politically charged. Shades of Miami bass and ghetto tech also characterise his work on labels like Shipwreck, Bleep43, [NakedLunch] and Unknown to the Unknown, and in 2016 he is as busy and prolific as he has ever been. This summer he plays a rather exclusive back to back set with Helena Hauff at our festival in Amsterdam. 

The mix he serves up is a great snapshot of what Stingray does - forces you to dance to his high tempo, high impact sounds. He mixes them quickly and slickly and there is a real sense of urban paranoia and future menace in every tune he reaches for. Sit back, then, and bask in the glory of a real master.

Dark Science Electro presents: Top 25 Of 2016

Sensory assault to disorient and confuse.

The Rabbit Hole

Elektroliza is a series of club events formed by a group of dedicated electronic music enthusiasts in Ljubljana's club Channel Zero at autonomous social centre Metelkova in 2006.

Filling a void in Slovenia’s electronic dance scene, the night was a hit from the start and quickly grew into a diverse and successful series focusing on new and exciting electro, acid and dark techno.

Elektroliza hosted many memorable DJ and live acts by performers/producers/pioneers coming out of international music incubators in Gothenburg, The Hague, Berlin and as far as Detroit. Even more importantly, it brought together producers and crews from the former Yugoslav republics of Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia and Macedonia. Inside the former Yugoslavian military barracks, a new friendship was born. DJs and producers from Skopje to Ljubljana began new collaborations while dancing the night away in »Electro City Ljubljana«.

This first double vinyl compilation of the Balkan Elektroliza family is a collection of our shared memories and visions of the future to come.

1983 - Zero Compromise

One of many debuts at Dekmantel Festival later in the year will come from Detroit in Effect aka D.I.E, the now solo project of Tameko J. Williams, also known as DJ Maaco. The Motor City artist has roots that run deep into techno and electro and have helped make him one of Detroit’s most under the radar but influential acts. Records like ‘RU Married’ are classic to this day, while other releases on M.A.P. Records helped established D.I.E’s sound as the artists themselves tended to stay out of the spotlight. 

But this mix will surely put Williams very much back in the headlines: it’s an hour of pure techno and electro heat from the heart of the 313 area code. Quick, slick mixes keep things moving at a real pace as slippery drums and squelchy bass race out of the speakers. Touching on everything from classic Drexciya to timeless vocal cuts, deeper grooves to all out physical assaults, it’s as much a mixing masterclass as it is a real history lesson.
