Having previously released a slew of tapes on labels such as Clan Destine Records and Live Adult Entertainment, Penelope’s Fiancé lands on Hypermedium for his vinyl debut.

Hailing from Stavroupoli, Thessaloniki, Penelope’s Fiancé has been keeping over the past few years a fast pace of work, constantly producing tracks and releasing new music, having shaped a unique sound that drifts across the borders of lo-fi, post-industrial and fuzzy techno. The Cutting Edge Of A Knife is the culmination of all these previous excursions, a solid display of his ability to craft emotionally intense tracks, merging a ghostly, gloomy grandeur with squelching percussion.

The Cutting Edge Of A Knife (liberation Of The Oppressed)

Following last years remix of ‘System’ with Tiz East, Simkin returns to All Centre with ‘Toxin’ the second dose of his infectious hybridized club sound.

On the title track he picks up where he left off, riffing on the tropes of techno and club styles with ease and continuing to set the pace for what’s to come. Sprawling high pitched FX fly overhead veering in all directions whilst a cavernous chord pins down the tracks chugging beat as it lurches forward.

B-side ‘Anarres’ begins with an assured combination of deep 4x4 kicks and industrious percussion that are later joined by an angelic haunting melody and a picked bass line. As the track glides along further drums begin to syncopate, locking the listener deeper into a phantom breakbeat groove.

Toxin is available across all platforms from the 6th of March.

Simkin - Anarres

Krumble

This track was made back in 2018 but the title struck me as kinda fitting for the times right now, where you could say we are autonomous together. Social distancing and avoiding crowds are still to be seen as an acts of solidarity with people living with health risks. As we see covid-19 continues to spread world wide and the second wave hitting Europe right now we have to remind ourselves that now is not the time to slack.

Autonomous Together

To celebrate the label’s second anniversary we’ve enlisted a crew of friends and family to put together a compilation which looks to consolidate the sound that the label has honed so far and envision where it’s headed in the future.

Additionally our in-house artist Bette Blanchard has created 8 artworks responding to the compilation, which have been riso printed on A3 to go in the home or studio <3

KUTHI JIN - ANTIKASHIZA W/ VORONHIL

Amongst the layers of sheets, she buried her head deep into the folds, hiding away from the world. Her bed had become an unhealthy sanctuary; a place for eating, sleeping and working. The outside filled her with dread, the thought of interaction with another forcing her chest to tighten and her breath to shorten. She willed the tears back into her ears, afraid to show how defeated she'd become, but she needed to accept the help that she'd spent so long ignoring.

Greek artist Penelope's Fiancé follows a string of tape releases on the likes of Clan Destine Records and Live Adult Entertainment, with a vinyl debut on Hypermedium. The Cutting Edge Of A Knife fuses the sounds he's become known for across his previous releases; a fuzzy blend of post-industrial, lo-fi and techno, and merges frantic percussion with ghostly, eerie atmospheres and thunderous bass lines.  

Penelope’s Fiancé 'The Cutting Edge Of The Knife’ will be followed on Hypermedium by Yara 'Eyeless / Loss' EP, out December 11th & Ice_Eyes ‘Vicious Circles’ due out February 19th.

Concept and words by Polanski
~ The Intrinsic Nature, a source, a manuscript of codes. 
The essence of living beings; it takes some time to grasp its marvel. 
You can find it in everything that exists and you can also find it in nothing.
Fundamental order of all the things, such as matter. A particle —-
essentially everything that existed, exists and will exist. Also the
void, home of nothing.

Because to be, to evolve or to exist in unpolluted way; equipped with a
DNA-narrative, from a pre-mutated space dust particle, the seed of
all existence, the mega-source —- The Universe. Form and matter architect,
total collector of energies, the reason for life and decay.

'Harmony in Chaos' in infinitum and always in tandem. The two mega-forces
working on par. Without any hate but not in love. Their parasitic symbiosis
is neither an ebb nor a flow. The existence of dust particles
in space and time —- mutating, evolving.

It is of an utter importance to once again tune in and observe the nature
which radiates from within us. From the very fabric of our close
surroundings, and from afar, far beyond the abyss ~

You probably already know it for its benefits, maybe you even practice power napping or micronaps?. The easy ticket to a surreal state of mind, where you begin to dream but are still conscious, "hypnagogia". On this compilation I present 25 dreamy pieces 'state of the powernap art', from the Sofa Beats catalogue.
