A lazy Sunday afternoon in the studio today lead me to do a DVS NME version of my favorite Drexciya song of all time! I had just finished listening to 'The Quest' over breakfast and so it was really fresh in my mind. So when I stepped in front of the Arp Odyssey, I ended up making the bass sound that drives my version of the track. This song has always perfectly encapsulated what James and Donald's music means to me. So mysterious, funky, soulful, catchy, intriguing, and just so goddamn good. I didn't love everything they ever did but this song is just one of those tracks that reminds me why I love Electro music. It ranks, in my mind, as just important as Kraftwerk's 'Numbers' or Afrika Bambaataa's 'Planet Rock'. Absolutely timeless music that makes me feel inspired. All that having been said, I chose not to change the song much from the original structure because of how much simply adore it. This is my version of Drexciya's 'Dehydration'. Stay deep, stay pressurized.

6 track full album LP by Fashion Flesh aka John Talaga from Michigan. He is known for his “off the grid” approach to music and has solo releases on great labels such as Unknown Precept, Jacktone and Fit/Est. 83’ Records.

Most all of the instruments used to perform and produce are self-built electronics, oscillators, generators, sound toys, and modulators. Those that are not built from one's own design are heavily modified beyond audible recognition or return. No sampling/stolen sound is ever used or sucked from outside pre-existing sources. 

No laptops, instead tape manipulation and hard copy cut-ups...analog devices that are built for specific purpose and dis-purpose.

"Rubber Mountain" is Fashion Flesh's first full LP and the first solo album we've released on Black Lodge. 6 tracks of mutant mayhem, spanning from odd italo-disco flavors, to no-wave, post-punk, jakbeat, and experimental sounds from the beyond. 

Equally for the dance floor and home listening, this record has it all. Also a visual artist, this release is housed in a full color double-sided jacket with art created by John Talaga himself.

Rubber Mountain LP

PREMIERE CDL ||  Fashion Flesh - Crushed Ice [The Black Lodge] (2023)

BUY VINYL

Luxus Varta is back on his own label with a new melancholic electro EP.

The four tracks presented here evolve between light and darkness, slowly sliding towards to the most melancholic side, where the surrounding colours become as fragile as crystal.  When the magic happens at dusk, night promises to be inspiring.

'Crystal Dusk' is the fourth release on the artist's label, In Abstracto.

Music & Artwork by Emeric Di Paolo
Mastered by M.A. Spaventi

Crystal Dusk

Stereo Crime

The clock hands crawled slowly around the face; time felt as though it were moving at a snails pace. The wait had been excruciatingly long, with little to do to keep themselves entertained exacerbated by a looming feeling that something could happen at any moment meant they were left on the edges of their seat at all times. Sleep was not an option - they downed coffee as if it were water, widened their eyes as if in a constant state of surprise, pinched themselves when their heads began to loll: they couldn't risk missing the main event.

Dalmata Daniel's split series has so far welcomed the likes of Intergalactic Gary, Pasiphae, Olivia and Rapha to take a side of wax each. For their seventh they've got returning artist Roberto Auser on board alongside Cestrian, the alias of Margate-based producer and DJ Ali Renault. As always the Budapest label have perfectly curated these musical partners, this time giving them a platform to explore eerie EBM, industrial-leaning electronics and raw, machine-driven electro.

PREMIERE: Roberto Auser - Long Night [Dalmata Daniel]

Artist: @marcosegato
Album:  For Huwara 
Label: @confused-machines
Release date: 21/05/2023
Format: Digital
Buy: https://confusedmachines.bandcamp.com/album/for-huwara-cm21

On 26 February, hundreds of Israeli settlers went on a violent late-night rampage in Huwara and other villages in the northern West Bank, leaving one local resident dead and 100 others injured and the town ablaze.

This compilation of music was put together in order to raise funds that can hopefully give some aid to the residents of Huwara, all of the proceeds Confused Machines make from digital sales will go directly to Physicians For Human Rights – Israel (PHRI) www.phr.org.il An NGO that works in the occupied Palestinian territory, promoting Palestinians' right to health and providing direct medical and humanitarian assistance.

The compilation hosts a roster of both local and international artists spanning a wide spectrum of leftfield electronic music. Acid, Drone, Noise, Downtempo, Techno, SoundCollage and more.
All of these tracks are new and have not been heard before, many of them have been created with Huwara and Palestine in mind.

Though we know our reach is limited, we see this as a part of a bigger political effort to help raise awareness in our artistic circles and set motion to positive forces in dark times.

PREMIER // Marco Segato - Rescue Dog [Confused Machines]

Operator Radio 12th May 2023 - The Spy

In Japanese, the word “guru-guru” refers to the state of spinning, whirling.  This state is captured in the work of Japanese artist Hoshina Anniversary, who makes his third appearance on MUSAR with his EP Guru Guru and marks the return of the label after an extended break.

Hoshina’s self-titled brand of ‘watechno’ has appeared on well-loved dance music labels like ESP Institute, Volvox’s Jack Dept and Young Marco’s Safe Trip, alongside MUSAR where he also appeared as Shifting Gears back in 2022; an electronic-jazz-centered moniker.

His Guru Guru EP captures the latest snapshot of Hoshina’s sound and sees him draw from Japanese language as a through-line. The title track is the clearest representation of his ‘watechno’, where he uses Japanese instrumentation on top of a menacing EBM-style march. The track's slowly whirling momentum is the “guru-guru”.

On tracks like “Banri”, which means far away in Japanese, we see new shades to Hoshina’s work as he mixes a Japanese Wadaiko drum groove with acidic elements and piano melodies to make a track of contradictions which pairs roughness with elegance.

Whereas on “Usagi”, Japanese for rabbit, Hoshina fires up the BPM.

Piano melodies remain here but their effect is more drifting and emotive than on “Banri”.

“Kaga” is named after a place in the southernmost part of Ishikawa Prefecture, between Kanazawa City and Fukui City. On this track, Hoshina’s love for jazz comes through and even mirrors the work we heard from him under Shifting Gears.

Release Info :

Andy (Bass Agenda) explains: “After over 100 releases I was planning on taking a break from the label from March but as this Coronavirus pandemic became more and more serious, I really felt like doing something tangible to help.  Like many people I am out of work thanks to this crisis and I wanted to do something meaningful and creative with my time. I was getting the same kind of messages from artists both on the label and in the wider Electro/Techno community.  Having done large charity release projects before I knew this could be done.”

He continues, “I posted on Facebook and approached a few contacts saying I was thinking of doing it and to get in touch if they wanted to get involved.  A week later I had over 70 artists up for the challenge. It is a beautiful thing to see so many talented people getting involved, from newcomers to established leaders in the scene like Carl Finlow, John Selway, Detroit’s Filthiest, Dez Williams, and Radioactive Man.”

“As for where the money from the release will go, I chose NHS Charities Together because they represent over 100 NHS charities and will distribute donations amongst them and also have a specific Covid-19 campaign running.  Médecins Sans Frontières are the other organisation that will receive profits from the release. I wanted to include one that worked beyond the UK to reflect the international nature of the crisis and the fact that the Electro and Techno communities are global too.”
