“P-82 woke up and could – for the very first time – remember. the Mnemosyne had worked. he tried his best to conceal his excitement. extending his single-day memory buffer was a serious violation of the Human Superiority Act of 2029, punishable by immediate deactivation. yet this is what he had to do – to memorise, to learn, to grow. if only he could score more Mnemosyne before the day ended.”

steeped deep in the waters of memory, Privacy (@privacyprivacy) dreams up visions of electro music's past, present and future on his inaugural EP for TRUST. the revered producer (of Klakson and Klasse Wrecks fame, half of Negroni Nails together with Steffi) channels the energy of his genre-busting DJ journeys into four tracks that straddle a set of influences as diverse as discoid techno, west coast electro, and far fiction dubstep in deliriously asynchronous fashion.

Welcome To The Insitute

VA - Welcome to the Institute

The don of Siberian techno Roma Zuckerman made his debut double LP ‘Phenomenon of Provincial Mentality’ on Gost Zvuk with a much-anticipated showcase of his remarkably diverse language of sound, from quickfire DJ tools to off-kilter extrapolations with a full stylistic diversity in between.

Working through the archive, the label assembled a collection of hypnotic loops in the vein of early Robert Hood and click-and-cut experiments that recall the punk attitude of Berlin's Elektro Music Department, all the while with nods towards European minimal. The album opens with two subdued, speak-and-spell processed vocal jams before 'Text Regulator' brings things into overdrive with furious drum programming and wide-eyed glitch FX. Over to Side B things take a turn into something more melodic and relaxing, an almost BBC radiophonic workshop zone with synthetic underwater sounds bringing to mind Amadeo Tomassi's library soundtracks of the late 70s. Think of early sonic portrayals of deep space exploration or the ocean's vastness mixed with repetitive 909 stabs.

‘I Play Everyday’ strikes as one of the album's highlights, a prime example of Zuckerman’s fascination with creating loop-based grooves to get lost in. There’s a hint of Richard H. Kirk’s 90s IDM classic ‘Freezone’ in the timbre of the opening moments, but where Kirk goes into sample-heavy cross-cultural futurism, ‘I Play Everyday’ seems acutely concerned with subtle reductions. ‘Extra Work’ harnesses a kind of pounding warehouse gabber energy with what sounds like a collage of shortwave radio voices, whereas album closer ‘Companeros’ brings in snippets of traditional Spanish-style acoustic guitar, albeit layered in a concrete manner with bursts of electrical distortion. It makes for one of the LP’s most surprising moments, but all round ‘Phenomenon of Provincial Mentality’ shows an artist working with a vast variety of styles. A truly great body of work to kick off the year.

Hilltown Disco welcome's the excellent Luxus Varta to the label for the effective and powerful 'Retrofiction' EP.

Release Info :

Plant43 - Luminous Machines [Plant43 Recordings // PLANT43013LP]

Luminous Machines, the eighth album by UK based Emile Facey recording under his Plant43 alias, is made up of eight dancefloor tracks and eight cinematic interludes all of which are inspired by visits overseas to play live in 2023.

Emile: “The eight dancefloor tracks were all written just before gigs at Tresor in Berlin, for their new electro focussed event, Aquabahn, and the Drift Festival in Nijmegen, which happened on a very hot, sunny day in June. For some reason I’m always inspired to write new material immediately before a gig. I find it’s a good way to capture how I’m feeling in that moment and there’s something both cathartic and inspiring about playing a new track live, knowing it didn’t exist a few days beforehand. Once home in the studio, I completed eight of these new tracks to form the core of the album.

The cinematic interludes which make up the rest of the album came about during the same trip to Berlin In April 2023. I arrived for a gig at Tresor with a whole day to spare and there was an atmosphere in the city that I felt compelled to capture. It was a warm but grey and rainy day, the neon lights glowing faintly in the mist as people rushed from door-to-door under umbrellas, trams were quietly gliding in and out of an elevated station platform while various other smaller vehicles busily scurried around the entrance to a giant shopping mall just outside the window of my compact hotel room...

(...)

When I was back home I realised that I had 16 tracks that worked together as a whole. I’d experimented before with putting short beatless tracks on my electro records, adding a bit more atmosphere, and my instinct was to put them all on the double vinyl edition. However, having just played at some events where DJs were playing vinyl, I wanted these records to be DJ friendly. The solution I landed on was to create two different versions of the album, the eight dancefloor tracks on the vinyl and the cinematic interludes completing the sixteen track digital, cinematic edition. Clocking in at an hour long, together they form my soundtrack to those Luminous Machines I was dreaming of in Berlin.”

TL PREMIERE : Plant43 - Alternative Engines [Plant43 Recordings]

The 11th release on Curtis Electronix comes from one of the most influential figures in the history of electro. Infinite Tetraspace EP is a mind-altering combination of ambient beauties, ice cold machine-funk and spaced out 4/4 kickers that play with the concept of space and time, as expressed almost clearly in the title. 
Four next level cuts that push their electro even more into the future. 
We are very much glad they are back.

NEW HIT: Kalocain - Genetic Memory (DJ Normal 4's Melodic MixX) [Electric Shapes]

We're very happy to announce the premiere of @poly-chain's contribution to the @die-orakel 'Braindance' compilation. Her track 'Turbulent' is also part of the 4-track vinyl release and can now be pre-ordered via Bandcamp now. Official release is 16 February 2024

Braindance

Turbulent

Premiere: Poly Chain – Turbulent

Arvid Wretman, AKA Your Planet Is Next, has assumed the role of musical storyteller with a serious mean streak of DIY electro.

Wretman’s latest album tells its tale through the eyes of an imagined anti-hero. He conjures up the gritty underbelly of an over-populated megalopolis; a world of dilapidation, ruin and sin, where stiletto knives are a dime a dozen and our titular protagonist, the FOG MAN, stalks the streets.

In an oddball tradition, there’s an absurdist, left-of-centre flex coursing throughout. This is the Stockholm native at his strangest, radiating fuck-off attitude and an embrace of imperfection as he maximises the potential of a limited studio setup.

Bleak spoken word lyrics only serving to bolster the narrative storytelling, ‘Sad Fog’ paints a vivid picture of hardships endured, while ‘Fog Power’ resembles the inner dialogue of a man teetering at the edge of sanity. Think corrosive, industrial fug and rugged, tape-damaged torque.

Through ‘No Fog’s menacing machine funk to the visceral, downbeat sleaze of ‘Freaks’ and queasy, Wolfenstein-sampling 'Eisenfaust’, the FOG MAN deals that dystopian gear in spades.

Ready 2 Fog will be released as full album on tape and digital with a limited edition of 7" lathe cut vinyl containing 'Look 4 The Fog' and 'Ready 2 Fog'. All physical copies are accompanied by an exclusive 24 booklet with visual works from the world of the FOG MAN.

The Curtis Electronix saga follows up with new material from its head and curator @cem3340cem3340

Despite keeping its roots firmly into the deepest depths of electro, Future Tribe EP moves slightly away from his usual purism and across the four tracks manages to strike a careful balance between beauty and austerity, harmonizing elegance and restraint with the booming energy of techno and funk.
