NONETHELESS - ATTO EP (NEUBAU / BAU018 / 2023)

7 Citizens - from the red room (unreleased 2015)

Killer slo-mo techno slugs from Vienna’s Nonetheless duo on Florian Stöffelbauer a.k.a. Heap’s Neubau label. 

Verging on techno for an ambassador’s reception, the first batch from Felix Bergleiter and Florian Bocksrucker’s new pairing injects a sense of refined, Central European sensibilities to the ‘floor, where needed.

Working in parallel to styles pushed by the likes of Tolouse Low Trax and Vladimir Ivkovic at Salon Des Amateurs, the recoiling chug of Berlin’s Novo Line, or the trawling drag of Sweden’s Fishermen, Nonetheless deliver some serious traction with EP highlights in the unstressed machine squeal and pressure of ‘Exclusion Zone’ and the inexorable acid rolige of ‘Machine of Love and Hate’, plus a the Carpenter-esque groove of ‘Velvet’.  (BOOMKAT :)

discogs

7 Citizens (selected, 2009 - 2014)

Danilo Plessow (Motor City Drum Ensemble) and 7 Citizens (Praterei, Waxolutionists, Vienna) team up to deliver HUNDRED20, their outfit of fully analogue Chicago crumbled house. Delightfully senescent from 20 to 20k, HUNDRED20 is for the discerning and the immediate alike.
'Turn off the options and turn up the intimacy' since we are analog people and machine lovers. Released on MCDE 1206/07 in Jan 2011.

Hundred20 - Upper Alley (MCDE 1206/07 - Jan 2011)

Praterei turns 8, if releases were years and to celebrate, proffers a stamped 10" from label swami, 7 Citizens.

'Do Your Head In' is charged with A side duties and a bit of a cerebral poke it is too. Flirting somewhere betwixt both reverie and nightmare, it's as playful as it is tormenting. It invites you round for a cup of tea, slaps you about a bit and calls you names before putting you to bed and whispering slightly sexy things in your lughole.

'Stride' is an altogether less hairy affair. It's honest. It's honest about the fact you're going to need a 'safe word'. An acid romp with unwavering purpose.

Praterei are back with their third instalment, again one for the heads and the hips alike.
As per, pseudonyms are the order of the day and 7 Citizens returns with more Chicago synthestry in the form of 'Quietus'. The remix comes from Force/Emerge and proffers a gritty low slung alternative. As for the conundrums, 7 Citizens has recently collaborated on one side of a huge double 12" release with one of the most in demand producers on the scene. And Force/Emerge...is Copper Mayfield too obvious? (quote by ethyl)

quick ambient drone thingy with this wonderful & new vco "the bateleur" from the austrian modular manufacturers "birdkids" - you can hear all outputs at the same time, nothing else except some reverb.  youtube = http://tinyurl.com/ou37pox

Birdkids Modular - The Bateleur VCO - Simple Ambient Drone

audio demo of the brandnew "bateleur" VCO from austrian synth manufacturer "birdkids" focussing on a simple bassline & some beats. starting with 2 outputs going to an optomix, 2 other outputs going to the full wave rectifier and a ladik reverb (coming in for some time in the middle). and of course the main sub out going to a mutable streams...hm...plus some reverb again. gets a bit messy sometimes, it was just a quick one, so excuse me :) the sequence is coming from metropolis via frequency centrals trans europa and some basic modulation from bastls trinity.  plus some simple modular drumming with mfb 04 & 07, basimilus, mutant clap & tiptop maracas.  oh, and some bateleur resonance at the end. for now there´s only the switch, but a VCA expansion iscoming soon!!

short demo of the made to order dual VCLFO "ZILLA", by mark jellinek (also known for his work for birdkids). this one focusses on the weird, more chaotic side of things, and this is just a glimpse, a first quick wiggle when i got it last week. brass switch comes in once in a while, plus lofi fx coming from the great cimmerian caves box.

PRÈMIÉRE: Nonetheless - Exclusion Zone [Neubau]

Welcome to the seductive groove of Nonetheless, a new duo formed of Florian Bocksrucker and Felix Bergleiter, and the first LP on Neubau. Across four sides of vinyl Nonetheless deliver an intriguing mixture of tough dystopian midnight-drive soundtracks and transporting early electronic/musique-concrète-hybrid interludes. Nonetheless is the sound of cogs turning, churning melancholy and pulsing snake-charmer drum machine palpitation. The end result is catharsis through sinister journeying. From the near-acidic punch of 'Machine of Love and Hate', to the grandiose slow-motion of 'Epik' and the ravey 'Exclusion Zone', Nonetheless' debut record is something special to savour, and is proudly presented as the tenth release on Neubau.

DT PREMIERE: Nonetheless - Machine of Love and Hate

The radio chimed and whirred as a variety of different channels flickered under the glow of the pale moonlight. The car drove through the outback but there was not one station which matched his preferences. He was antipop, a man made of machine with the burning soul of electricity rife within his heart and body. The sound of the engine was all he would need to get him through the night as he flicked the switch and entered the realm of silence. Why would he want to hear such a ghastly noise anyway?

Nonetheless is a duo made up of Vienna based musicians Felix Bergleiter and Florian Bocksrucker. Together they have collaborated to release a new record on the infamous Neubau imprint run by Florian Stöffelbauer aka Heap and Simon Heidemann.
