For this @DarkScienceElectro Rewind we take a listen to a track from @kan3da originally from his debut album on Transient Force.

Swedish artist Kan3da has always had a way of making emotionally charged Electro music that cuts straight to my heart. When I first heard this album in 2008 I felt like it needed its own genre. Kan3da's music has all the charm of New Romantic music with the cold sounds of Gerald Donald. The track that I chose to highlight has been played out by me so many times that I couldn't possibly count. This album was re-released by Kan3da after the collapse of Transient Force.

Electro Rewind: Kan3da - OutputVector (2008)

@curtiselectronix is proud to present "Destroy Your Future", the new LP from the one and only @galaxian. In the last years Mark Kastner aka Galaxian has become a prominent figure in the underground scene because of his high quality productions and his unique take on electro. We all know electro started with futurism and well, this work is pure futurism. Each cut is a trip into his restless creativity. Each track is a mind altering exploration of a deeply cinematic soundscape with a massive number of elements perfectly fused together with his "one of a kind" sci-fi aestethic that immediately pulls you out of the schemes. Caustic distortions, post industrial environments, mind expanding electronics and primitive drum patterns are only the main elements of this sci-fi masterpiece. There is no "Detroit Nostalgia" in it. This is sonic militance. The same that inspired the originators back in the days. When you play it, time runs faster and future looks closer. We are on board, but Galaxian is the only pilot of the ship.

Release Info :

Si Begg - Energie Electrique 

It was perhaps only a matter of time before Si Begg rocked up on Central Processing Unit. Now an esteemed veteran of British beat tracks, Begg’s name has become synonymous with quality club productions ever since he burst onto the scene three decades ago. In the years since, Begg has released scores of records on some of the most prestigious labels in the business - Tresor, NovaMute, his own Mosquito. As such, his debut on the Sheffield imprint whose name has become a sign of quality since it launched in 2012 seems like a wholly logical progression for one of electro’s most consistently excellent producers. 

Begg’s casual mastery of his sound is shown off by the fact that he doesn’t over-egg the pudding of the Energie Electrique EP. Rather than doing sonic cartwheels to get people’s attention, Energie Electrique is characterised by the way Begg adds or subtracts elements to sturdy grooves. It’s an approach which makes for a collection of tunes that manage to bring the boogie from the off while they also hide all sorts of aural Easter eggs amidst the mix. 

On opening cut ‘Energy’, a droning start full of crisp drum programming soon develops into a head spinning electro groove reminiscent of Kraftwerk’s Computer World. An acid-laced bassline waxes and wanes, modulating in intensity across several minutes as Begg sprinkles in percussion, synth blurts and vocoder vocals. It’s a slyly insistent rump-shaker, and the - ahem - energy that the track provides carries through into following number ‘Buckfunk Beatz’. This joint begins with a gnarly, chattering synth sound before the sizzle and snap of a broken-beat kick-hat loop locks into place. While still very Kraftwerkian, ‘Buckfunk Beatz’ also has the playful grizzle of contemporary practitioners like Cardopusher and Begg’s fellow CPU operator Silicon Scally. 

Things switch up at the start of Energie Electrique’s second side. Rather than rolling out a high-octane groove, Begg delivers a low-slung mid-tempo roller called ‘MS10 Machine Funk’. The programming on the kick drum here could almost pass for a dirty south hip-hop production if Begg didn’t lace it with such a strangely compelling use of the oscillator - sometimes squealing, sometimes squawking, sometimes wobbling, always thrilling. The mix flecked with chordal stabs, ‘MS10 Machine Funk’ is a masterclass in combining danceable beats with the quest for thrilling sounds that is so often the mark of a truly musical mind. 

To round things out, Begg brings us back to the beginning. ‘Electro P1 B’ is a delightfully dystopian bit of Drexciyanism. Piston-hiss drum programming, nervy atonal synth nodules, some cavernous reverb deployment - this is a body-mover if ever you heard one, and one executed with all the style, aplomb and panache you’d expect of Begg. Si Begg takes his Central Processing Unit bow with the Energie Electrique EP, a quartet of club tracks to rival anything in his vast and vaunted discography.

TL Premiere #1493 (2024.01.30) : MANASYt - Angellust [Specimen Records]

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

For this 23rd Premiere of 2024, we have a track by the veteran Bulgarian DJ/Producer Petar Tassev, aka "MANASYt", titled ‘Angellust’ from his forthcoming EP "Zero Plague" on the London label : Specimen Records.

The EP will be available in limited vinyl (50 copies) & digital from February 1, 2024.

Release Info :

MANASYt - Zero Plague (EP)  [Specimen Records] Cat # SPEC-033

Zero Plague - another neurovision broadcast by replicant agent MANASYt. The opener - is a dystopian death march anthem, guided by a rolling snare, thick kick, and throbbing bass. Arpeggios sounding like wasps on acid hover in the background, adding to the atmosphere of imminent danger!

Angellust - a hectic breathless industrial electro monster. Fuzzy distorted bass is driving us through a dark desolate territory. Complete with chaotic claps, minor synth stabs, a siren-like clinical pad, and Petar’s hopeless vocals (reminiscent of his days fronting metal bands).

Next is the Pestilent Mix for SNS Sensation new wave masterpiece “Mirror Radio”. Sebastian is also the voice of UK duo Heartbreak (with synth wizard Ali Renault). Petar says: “It’s a very impulsive work that sounds nothing like the original! Blending two different beats, mangled voices, and psychotic off-kilter leads. Total madness.”

First on the flip is the Novichok Mix for Poladroïd. Petar and Vadim go way back to Roulette Rekordz in 2003, so this collab is natural, to say the least. It’s the only time where the tempo slows down a bit on this EP. Bubbling worm-like bass, metallic percussion, cold windy pads, and a classic electro lead take you on a journey to a soulless barren planet.

At last “In Deep Tongues”. A heady schizophrenic exercise. A commanding beat and a grotesque polka bass followed by a paranoid synth lead pull you through a darkened maze with no exit. Underwater gurgles and fearsome corroded effects fill the air, no escape!

After 20 years, MANASYt hasn’t slowed down or mellowed his intense immoderate sound one bit! And “Zero Plague” is undoubtedly a true testament to that!

Tracklist :
1. A1. Zero Plague
2. A2. Angellust
3. A3. SNS Sensation - Mirror Radio (MANASYt's Pestilent Mix)
