Hardware: The Album
Original Release Date: Monofunk Records 2010
Original Format: CD only Digi Pack Limited Edition

Sixteen years after its inception, Hd Substance’s seminal album Hardware is finally released digitally via his own Bandcamp page. Originally released as a limited edition CD Digipack by the spanish label Monofunk, it was presented as a continuous mix with skip marks to listen to each track separately although they were mixed together. This CD was never released digitally or available to be downloaded and has acquired some kind of cult status as a collectors item.

In this reissue you can access the individual tracks in their original form.

Original In sleeve notes:

We are living in the digital age, technology for making beats is now available for everyone, legally or illegally. All possibilities are opened and there are no limits.
There was a time when creating beats was a challenge, a risk, we only had expensive and limited machines to get the work done. I’ve found that back in those days the limits pushed me forward to create and forced me to reach my target with a primitive setup.

All tracks on this album are part of my comeback to the old school way of composing electronic music, using my old hardware machines in the pursuit of my musical desires. hence the title: Hardware.

Every musical note and sound was created between 2008 and 2009 in my Madrid Studio located in my mother’s basement. All the sequencing and sampling was done on an Akai MPC 2000 XL connected via MIDI to the following machines:

Roland Tb 303
Roland Sh 101
Roland R 70
Roland Tr 808
Roland Tr 909
Roland JD 800
Korg Ms 20
Kawai 100f
Kawai Sx240
Sequential Circuits Pro One
Moog Prodigy

Old Cv / gate Synthesizers were converted to MIDI using Kenton and Doepfer converters. All signals were mixed on a yamaha 01v Mixer and recorded straight into a Tascam DA 30 DAT recorder and Pre mastered using TC Electronics Finalizer.

All tracks are presented in a continuous mix in order to tell a story and add continuity to the songs, a club feeling. That job was done using Ableton Live 8, the mix was again recorded onto DAT, no renderings, no dithering. The DAT mix was analog mastered using valve compressors and SSL original channel strips for maximum warmth.

Not recommended to be listened to on mp3.

It’s been hard work made with care, putting all my 20 years experience in electronic dance music to serve your ears and feet.

This is dance music… Play it loud!

Hope you enjoy it. 

Yours Hd Substance.

Portal Episode 72 by Markus Suckut

Over two decades of unfaltering devotion to production and DJing, dishing out some of the finest slices of opulently textured techno along the way, Tokyo-based maestro DJ Sodeyama has been honing a sound signature both intricately hypnotic and boundary-pushing. Blending delicate melodic strains of electronics ranging from deep, ambient music to verbed-out, atmospheric techno, often laced with hints of jazz and soulful discoid expressions, his productions and mixes combine the satiny elegance of loungey daydream with that of more rugged, deep-diving dubs a la Basic Channel. From light to shade, and vice-versa, DJ Sodeyama builds pieces of music where the ever-changing lighting and shifting angles swath you in an oddly comforting headspace. A most fascinating trip for the body and soul.

With releases dating back 20 years, Swedish born, now Berlin-based artist Staffan Linzatti is a significant, influential, and respected figure who has helped progress the sound of techno in this time. Whether collaborating on specialised material with Jonas Kopp for his TREMSIX label, or releasing albums on Jeff Mills' Axis, Developer's Modularz, and Field Records, Staffan's hypnotic productions have also spread to Damon Wild's Synewave, Grindvik's Stockholm LTD, and his own Searchlights imprint. An ear for sci-fi sensibilities, analogue soundscapes, and modular aesthetics, grooves are also at the forefront of his ideas. This exclusive mix that is jam packed with his own productions, came with an interesting note that read, "The Neural Nexus (The Mental Maze of Interstellar Travel)," providing a mission statement for the direction of this set and its ethos. From spacious ambient tones, dubby influences, to eerie string melodies, and abstract, haunting atmospherics, this is a mix to get lost in the details with and experience the unusual as well as the strangely familiar, hitting all corners of the psyche for a trippy and avant-garde journey of the highest order...

DTMIXS53 - Staffan Linzatti LIVE [Berlin, GERMANY]

There’s beauty in chaos and method to madness, that much is true to the work of this faceless duo from Sweden. SHXCXCHCXSH’s strain of anarchic noise has sparked conversations and head-spinning records ever since the two producers first swapped notes in 2009. For about a decade, Hannes Stenström and Emmanuel Pascal Moreno stayed out of the public eye as a matter of principle, stripping music to its very base, without the weight of prejudice and social context holding it back: ’we prefer to listen to music in the dark, preferably without knowing who made it, when or how’. From the chaos and their loyalty to instinct came the need to find new structures, and so their faceless records united around a theme or musical element. It was a gamble, but their sledgehammer destruction of techno conventions gave some of the most intriguing sounds of the 2010s. Sampling everything from podcasts to YouTube to field recordings, they’re always on the hunt for ‘in-between’, ‘unintentional’ details, a way to composite the strangest and most innovative techno out there. Their staggering releases on Avian pioneered new sounds (and track names), and successfully manufactured the type of music you could hear both at home and in clubs; and 2024 saw them resurrect their Rösten imprint with the release of DO, an infernal four-tracker made for the dancefloor. Bassiani Podcast 257 explores that format further, bringing their stabbing and psychedelic havoc to a crowd facing setting. Immersive and heavy-duty, this one’s an hour-long clip of their snake-pit percussions, mind-bending techno from the enigmatic Norrköping duo.

(@semantica-records)

For the 130th episode of our podcast series, we have the honor to host a podcast from the amazingSpanish artist and owner of the legendary label SEMANTICA: Svreca!

From Deep and Mental techno to some more hypnotic and trippy textures, Svreca offers us a unique sonic journey, where precision meets emotion, guiding the listener through shadowy beats and abstract sound, designed for a long introspective travel.

More info about Svreca:

Few artists can match the influence that Enrique Mena, AKA Svreca, and his label Semantica have had on contemporary techno. With over 20 years in the DJ booth, 200-plus releases on the label and some acclaimed original productions and remixes, Svreca has spearheaded techno’s second generation, helping maintain Madrid as an international hub for deep and driving sounds. 

As a DJ, Svreca draws from a wide sonic palette that includes noise, dub, avant-garde electronics, electro and, of course, techno. First, it was luminaries like Angel Molina and Oscar Mulero that inspired him; since then he has made it his mission to survey the scene and connect with its most original artists. He funnels these influences into a powerful techno sound for body and mind: immersive, textural and rhythmically complex. Whether in an open-air festival setting or a blistering, pitch-back basement, Svreca’s sets—always delivered with technical precision—are a psychedelic, physical experience. 

His sets are also inextricably linked to Semantica. It’s a two way relationship: the label has become a consistently excellent breeding ground for new talent, as well as home to some of techno’s finest artists. Equally, Svreca draws inspiration from shared moments on a dance floor to fuel the label’s creative direction. From its austere aesthetic (designed by Mena himself) to its boundless exploration of new formats, Semantica encapsulates the heady spirit of experimental techno. 

Across all Svreca's means of expression, one thing is a constant: the music comes first. Less talking, more doing. It’s a formula he has stood by, and delivered the quality of music needed to back it up.

1981 an eleven year old kid gets a gift, that is the New Life 7 inch by Depeche Mode, from that very moment the cold beats of drum machines and the alien sounds of synthesizers are the soundtrack of his life, until today.Living the eighties as a teenager, he absorbed every futuristic and dark sound as a fan, new wave, goth, proto EBM, classics like Kraftwerk or Tangerine Dream ...1987 marks the switch from being passive to being active, he gets his first synth and drum machine combo as a christmas gift from their parents, a second hand Kawai Sx 240 keyboard and a Korg kpr 77 drum machine, and starts making his own noises and beats from scratch. Soon he formed his first music project, called Ballet Mecánico, with his two fellows Groof and Daniel Erbe.Heavily synth pop influenced in the beginning, their sound soon moves to darker territories after discovering Front 242 and Nitzer Ebb and later moving into proto rave sounds via the Frequencies album by LFO or the Yellow album by Orbital, as well as those lovely Detroit compilations released in the UK by Network records: Bio Rhythm and Retro techno among others. This project last until the mid nineties and left two vinyl releases.1995 is when his solo career as Hd Substance starts, releasing a track on the Electronic Generators compilation, a showcase of spanish techno pioneers at the moment, on Geometrik records, home of the seminal industrial cult band Esplendor Geométrico a stepping stone to his debut album Eleven on the also cult label Elefant Records.After more than 30 years in the business, more than 30 Ep’s and six full length albums, Hd Substance is still here as a full actor in the scene, writing, composing, remixing and playing electronic beats all over the globe, as live performer or as traditional beatmatching dj.
