For their sixth instalment, Lowlife Cartel follow up to their last two compilations (“Pimps Improvisations” in 2018 and “Omnia Vanitas” in 2020) with a new six-track VA named “Kodoku”; a vortical release, both bold and forward-looking, while fully geared for the club environment. Taking its title from a poisonous magic from the medieval Japanese era obtained by placing several venomous insects in a jar and letting them kill one another until only one survives, “Kodoku” - which interestingly also translates as “solitude” - features a cast of producers old and new to the fold including Saverio Celestri, the faceless △, Prince de Takicardie, Tundramane & Ko$te, Solar Alliance and shampoo.

A staple element of the Lowlife Cartel bunch, Saverio Celestri paves the way and dishes out one of his signature jagged, EBM-informed weapons in “Sundays”. Through this hotchpotch of acid-steeped bass entangled with a frantic newbeat-ish swing and razor-sharp synthwaves, the Italian producer shows off the raw and playful facets of his craft to optimal effect. Unknown contributor △ clocks in with “Crachats de Lune”, a proper ominous banger going straight for the jugular with its clever mix of dusty, drum-laden churn, processed vox stabs and sci-fi-indebted laser bursts flashing by unrelentingly. Tailored for hi-octane action at the defunct Boccaccio or Hacienda, Prince de Takicardie “Jam’on’Acid (House Mix)” blows the winds of euphoria across the club like it was done in 1995. Vibing to a pulsating mix of rabid snares, 303-vehicled charges and mangled vocal samples on a classic free rave tip, throwback material that packs a punch.

Flip it over and here is North-American duo Tundramane & Ko$te shifting the scope to Memphis chopped-and-screwed in true hardcore fashion. Straight-out aggression, “Brick To The Face” lives up to its title, so expect leaving the place with a few teeth out your mouth and a good concussion, though more side effects could appear over repeated listens. A radical U-turn from the previous, Ute.-related triplet Solar Alliance - alias Ekkel, Oprofessionell and Mikkel Rev - bring their dashing trance touch to the comp with “Quest for Kiba”, an uptempo maelstrom for the senses, swirling and whirling up until space and time make no damn sense any more. Topping off that versatile tour de force, producer shampoo adds his delectably sensuous spin on the record with the lush, sample-heavy lo-fi appeal of “四季ノ歌”. Unpolished feelgood vibes, sun-streaked soulfulness and deft-handed MPC wizardry are on the menu for this ultimate ride and jolly finale.

METIER008 - Horizons

PREMIERE: AX15 - Moments [MÉTIER]

Mental Breakbeats EP is the artist’s third EP consisting in 3 tracks that go from dark techno to intelligent drum’n’bass which focuses on deep electronic ambiances either in a dark or chill mood, melted with breakbeats. Through a series of long, static and immersive pads the main goal is to express the psychological journey of 3 different trance mental states, which go from the most irrational (expressed with darker pads) to rational ones, where the perception of time is totally dilated.
In contrast with the slow tempo perception every track is also driven by rave fasty beats.

The sound of knarzy, producer and live performer based in Bologna, Italy, embraces every shape of the rave culture, blending the dance-floor in so many confusing and different ways. The artist’s first EP called MVMNT EP was released in 2020 under the independent label Timeless Records and was a mixture of different dance-floor styles from the most brutal acid house to the chillest house.

PREMIERE: Knarzy - Mind Odyssey [Girovelle Psicotroniche]

"OpenAI has company... the room full of monkeys has returned with the development of ChimpGPT. Natural language algorithms have been outmatched by natural simian energy."

Brooklyn duo Infinite Monkey Theorem's output matches electronic and instrumental influences to craft music aimed at the dancefloor. There's obvious doffs of the cap to IDM, breakbeat and leftfield club sounds but also elements of shoegaze, free jazz and soundsystem music bubbling up under the surface.

For their new release, ChimpGPT, the pair share five tracks of off-kilter club cuts laced with guitars and hypnotic bass lines. And it's all for a great cause too - they're donating all proceeds from the release to UN Women, the UN organisation who do important work to protect women's rights and end violence against women across the world.

PREMIERE: Infinite Monkey Theorem - Lydia Phreaks

Release Title: The Flying Guillotine 2
Artistname: Serenace
Labelname: Shaw Cuts
Catalog Number: SC020
Releasedate: 29/09/2023

Tracklisting:
A1: Current
A2: Aiming From A Distance
B1: Test 21
B2: Current (Farron Remix)

ăThe Flying Guillotine 2Ň is the bloody sequel to SerenaceŐs first appearance on Shaw Cuts in 2019, continuing the head-lopping violence with a group of freedom fighters lead by the heroic Ma Teng battling against the evil despot Emperor Yung and his reign of terror. 
Teng has developed a protective device, similar to a spiky metal umbrella, that allows him to defend against the deadly flying guillotine attacks of the violent regime. ăCurrentŇ, its bombastic drum patterns, razor-sharp synth waves and vicious vibe strengthens the rebels to resist the brutal assaults. 

But the Emperor immediately reacts, creating a double flying guillotine to counter Ma TengŐs iron umbrella and the rebel union is left defenseless again. ăAiming From A DistanceŇ, a vivid breakbeat cut combining rolling percussion, arpeggiated synth chords and sirens from hell, raises the rebels' hopes to give them another answer. 
Secret insurgent Na Lan infiltrates the EmperorŐs inner circle by gaining his trust with a group of female warriors whom he allows to train with the flying guillotine palace guards. However, Na Lan only wants to steal the plans of the improved weapon and deliver it to the rebel squad, in order to devise another counteracting force. With the crisp bassline and the energy-filled breaks of ăTest 21Ň, the rebels can gain an insight into the elaborated guillotine and find a possible way to defeat it.

FarronŐs profound techno version of ăCurrentŇ brings in the necessary tension for the final showdown. The improved double flying guillotine VS a new secret defensive system. Will the rebels be able to team up and defeat the tyrant once and for all? No matter what happens, the saga continues.
