Podcast 039 - Ex.Hale x Brutal Forms

Through the "Downers" series, I want to put in light another facet of Techno music that tends to be forgotten nowadays. This slower more minimalistic sound impacted me a lot in my first years as a raver in Berlin and shaped my musical indentity as a DJ. 

Do not expect fast rythms and high energy in these mixes but a more delicate approach, feeling driven, where layering gives another sense to the tracks played and showcase how elegant and beautiful techno music can be. 

Find some of my all time favourite tracks inside, Berghain classics, a 15 minutes Villalobos masterpiece and more recent music fitting the vibe perfectly. 

I hope this mix will touch your soul as much as it touches mine.

MNQ 162 Lagowski​/​Chromium - Chromium Industries 1991​-​1992 2xLP

Mannequin Records is thrilled to announce the upcoming release of Chromium Industries, a double LP (MNQ 162) capturing the innovative spirit of two pioneers of electronic music: Andrew Lagowski and Paul (Howie D) Howard. This long-anticipated album marks a return to the seminal sounds of the Chromium Industries label, which emerged as a crucial platform for boundary-pushing techno and electronic music in the 1990s.

Andrew Lagowski, a name synonymous with exploration in electronic music, has been at the forefront of sound innovation since the early 1980s. Known for his work under various aliases, including Lagowski, Legion, and S.E.T.I., his early output in experimental and industrial sounds paved the way for his later techno-focused ventures. Albums like Knowledge (S.E.T.I.) and Nadir (Lagowski) highlighted his pioneering approach to unconventional sound sources and production techniques. In the 1990s, his work with Chromium Industries brought him into the techno spotlight, with a series of influential 12” singles that helped shape the electronic music landscape. With over 60 albums and 10+ singles to his name, Lagowski’s versatility and dedication have garnered him a loyal following and lasting influence across genres.

Paul Howard, aka Howie D, brought his DIY ethos from the punk scene of the 1970s into electronic music. As a founding member of The Frames and co-founder of the Brain Boosters and Spacematic labels, Howard has consistently pushed boundaries. His early forays into hip-hop saw him release the genre-pioneering jazz-rap track Miller Light as Fission. The transition from punk and hip-hop to electronic music was a natural one, culminating in his creation of Chromium Industries after a fateful night hearing Lagowski’s Vermilion at a London party. The label brought some of the most unique techno releases to the scene, with tracks like Blue Anomaly causing near-riots on the dancefloor. Since then, Howard’s work has evolved to include multiple aliases, including The Legend That Is, Phase Collective, and Skulpture.

Chromium Industries 2xLP is more than an album; it's a legacy preserved and reimagined. The double LP transports listeners to an era when electronic music was in full experimental bloom while showcasing the genre’s continual evolution.

Chromium Industries 2xLP will be available for purchase from January 2025 through Mannequin Records and select distributors. This is an essential release for collectors, DJs, and anyone who reveres the legacy of 1990s techno and the boundless potential of electronic music.

PRALLCAST 011 - INVERNO

Rain face (ft 543ff)

"Tides" is a story about a struggle to break through one own’s toxic patterns and cycles of self-abuse. Letting go of the claustrophobia, which we create when we are the victims of ourselves - remembering not to be the martyr, but the master of self-love <3

Thanks, Hyusfall, for the first-class mastering (https://soundcloud.com/hyusfall)!

Tides

Through creativity we can recognize that the only limitation to ourselves is ourselves and that stepping out of the conformist expectations is the necessary empowerment that everyone deserves.
