Marguerite Records invites Hound with Ćyan ID & Philipp Strobel - 1er Septembre 2023

Templer is the project of the Occitanian industrial chevalier Thomas Chaladon under which he designed his very own idea of Rhythmic Noise and harsh Techno. His tracks interiorize old school industrial methods but use contemporary means of production and brought Templer at the forefront of the modern industrial movement with frequent performances of leading festivals such as Wave Gotik Treffen, MUK.E, Forms of Hands and Wroclaw Industrial Festival. Beside his further projects Imperial Black Unit and part of ATT Corp (together with knight Arthur Bdt.) he released on acclaimed labels like Hands, X-Img, aufnahme + wiedergabe and Phage Tapes.

Knife presenta el podcast 187 de Zariush b2b HATELOVE.

Esta mezcla es una grabación de la última fiesta del legendario club Projekt LAB en Poznań (Polonia), que lamentablemente cerró sus puertas después de 12 años a principios de 2024.

HATELOVE - Con sede en Varsovia, el productor agita rápidamente la escena con su predilección por los paisajes sonoros sombríos e industriales, al tiempo que mantiene la singularidad en su visión de la música techno cruda e implacable. El artista es un ávido asistente al club, no solo como un conocedor apasionado sino también para realizar tareas de techno duro, habiendo tocado por toda Polonia hasta ahora. 
Menciones honoríficas serían el lanzamiento de su EP debut a través del sello de SNTS, Sacred Court y otros lanzamientos a través de sellos como Gegen Records, ISARN y Trust True Records.

Zariush - DJ con sede en Poznań, promotor, ex manager artístico del ahora cerrado club Projekt LAB y fundador del sello Arfa ArcanA. En sus sets combina el techno con sonidos industriales, riffs de guitarra y canciones EBM. A lo largo de sus 15 años sobre el escenario, tuvo la oportunidad de actuar junto a artistas como Ancient Methods, The Soft Moon, Vatican Shadow, Terence Fixmer y Samuel Kerridge, por nombrar algunos. Además de en clubes y festivales polacos, se le pudo escuchar en el Suicide Circus de Berlín, Urban Spree o Dimensions Festival en Croacia. 

Knife presents the podcast 187 by Zariush b2b HATELOVE.

This mix is a recording from the last party of the legendary Projekt LAB club in Poznań (Poland), which sadly closed its doors after 12 years at the beginning of 2024.

HATELOVE - Based in Warsaw, the producer swiftly agitates the scene with his predilection for bleak and industrial soundscapes while holding uniqueness in his vision of raw and relentless techno music. The artist is an avid club attendee, not only as a passionate connoisseur but also to perform hard techno duties, having played all over Poland by now. Honorable mentions would be the release of his debut EP through SNTS’ label Sacred Court and other releases through labels like Gegen Records, ISARN and Trust True Records.

Zariush - Poznań based dj, promoter, former artistic manager of the now-closed Projekt LAB club and founder of the Arfa ArcanA label. In his sets he combines techno with industrial sounds, guitar riffs and EBM songs. Over his 15 years on stage, he had the opportunity to perform alongside artists such as Ancient Methods, The Soft Moon, Vatican Shadow, Terence Fixmer and Samuel Kerridge to name a few. Besides Polish clubs and festivals, you could hear him in Berlin's Suicide Circus, Urban Spree or Dimensions Festival in Croatia.

N.I.M IS PROUD TO PRESENT THE PREMIERE OF 'PERDIENDO LA RAZON' BY THE ARTIST DATURA INOXIA [https://soundcloud.com/user-374975471-896886156] ON @ofdollsandmurder

🔨

We are proud to present “Masacre” , the new EP from mexican artist Datura Inoxia.The release contains five original tracks showcasing Datura Inoxia’s personal take on EBM, plus three remixes from Invalid User (Col), Efe Ce Ele (Col) and Spinal (Ch).

Datura Inoxia “Toloache” was born as a dancefloor music project since 2022 performed by Christian Cassale, creating obscure atmospheres from Mexico City. Techno-EBM based in dark
rhythms reflecting distorted feelings as love and loneliness, recording vocals and lyrics influenced by post punk.

Masacre is based in a true story : During the year 1968 before the Olympic Games, on October the 2nd, a crowd of students rises their voices against the repression of the Mexican government. During the movement, the Mexican government used police, military and paramilitary forces, killing 400 students in the plaza de las tres culturas in Mexico City, this event is known as “the Tlatelolco massacre”.

PREMIERE :: Datura Inoxia  - Perdiendo La Razon [Of Dolls and Murder]

@newfleshrecords
Support : https://newfleshrecords.bandcamp.com/album/hauptform-ep-fod08-just-out
Review on Rust Mag : https://rust-lab.com/hauptform-the-new-electro-mutant-ep-by-ottoman-gruw

Away from idolatry and escapism, "HAUPTFORM" is the latest EP from the creative crucible of Brussels-based mutant project Ottoman Grüw. Marking his debut release on Umwelt’s imprint, the artist unfurls three scorched electro-techno anthems ready to ignite dancefloors and a cinematic ambient track. 

Across "HAUPTFORM", Ottoman Grüw showcases his ability to inject noise elements and EBM influences to expand listeners mind, while making bridges between old school electro, techno and modern industrial music. Step in, for the sake of body control!

The A side features the track “U (Control & Destroy)” which combines massive drum patterns and disorienting atmospheres with robotic vocals - all wrapped in a technoid frenzy. Following that, “Phantom Rhythmic” provides a highenergy blend of sassy irresistible electro and cold hypnotic synths.
But wait, there’s more: on the B side “Hauptform” takes you skirting the edges of unknown realms through intricated sequences. Finally, “Life Comes From Its Own Degradation” closes the curtain with a dark, ambient and cinematic lullaby, where abstract lifeforms collide— a delicate ballet of entropy. Is it birth or decay? Perhaps both.

HANDS proudly welcomes one of the hottest acts on the current industrial techno circuit. The Toronto based duo MDD is the alliance of techno producers Measure Divide and Dolgener, who pursue a distinct passion together: The dark and dirty and intensely rhythmic “Reverse The Contrast” is a collection of tracks that defines their diversity and ability to express their aggressive, distorted, and edgy sound reflecting on today's maddening world. Discover old and new school industrial influences in a very unique combination, laid out with highly skilled pro- duction in ten tracks around the 6-minute mark, food for thought and pure physical stimulus at the same time, contemporary club grub galore.
What started with intense recording sessions in 2015 became a live act in 2017, which has led MDD to perform alongside the likes of Orphx, Ancient Methods and Perc already; and in 2018 they have released two 12” vinyls to great acclaim. While industrial and techno have crossed over massively in recent years, from both camps, the question may arise, how does one add something new to the style? MDD succeed in nailing that objective, with an album that oozes euphoria and authenticity – with an innovative combination of sounds: From their techno heritage they take the rhythmic clue, a relentless, capturing backbone laced with substantial groove. And at the same time, they pay due respect to industrial traditions that by far precede the crossover wave of recent years: Tracks like “Crushed”, “Underlight” or “Valium” focus on unadulterated rhythms and noise chops with big washes of distortion; “Breath”, “Dives” and “Submission (featuring AADJA)” feature actual, albeit heavily treated vocals, and addictive melody hooks, thus even hinting at the times when tracks were actual songs. But there’s reconciliation at hand - “Grind” or “Second Injection” reveal their techno heritage through the whipping snare sounds and thumpy kick drums. And then it’s all in the same way head-nodding, stomping goodness. Contrast and reversal, past and present, MDD play with seeming antipodes and achieve something ultimately enjoyable!

3 Underlight
