IOD PREMIERES

Schacke - Apocalyptic Decadence

'One Of The Receivers’ is an 8-track adaptation of the text, ‘Notes From A Pandemic’, released by August Skipper in 2020, a collection of poetry and abstract musings on the nature of shared delusion and collective psychosis in the face of extraordinary historical events. The music takes the form of heavy, cinematic drones, interspersed with moments of explosive sound design, a shifting base upon which a narrative unfolds that is at once dream-like, bizarre, foreboding and intimate.

In October of 2020 August Skipper released his text “Notes From A Pandemic” in book format. With text sleekly inlaid on a cloth bound cover, black on black, the materiality of the book contextualizes itself within the historically tense environment it came to fruition within. Hand numbered and signed, a limited edition of 200 copies, the gesture of intimacy between writer and reader is reflective. Skipper advertised the book as a reflection on “the psychic implosion resulting from the initial European quarantine”. Two years past the global phenomena that was, and for some still is, COVID-19 Skipper's negotiation of angst, vulnerability, and confusion was a prescient illustration of what would come to be a particularly turbulent world event.

November 12, 2023 sees the release of “One Of The Receivers”, a re-examination of Skipper’s text within an aural framework. Not simply a spoken word recanting of the text, Skipper uses “One Of The Receivers” as a new setting for dramaturgical collaboration and tonal placement of his writings. Skipper enlists fellow artists Cunce, Angelo Harmsworth, Luna Vassarotti, Samuel Savenberg, Wan, and Ireen Amnes to engender the uneasy surreality that is the post-pandemic zeitgeist into hallucinatory auditory landscapes. Skipper’s voice floats with dramatic affect over his collaborators’ sonic palettes, stylistically challenging his utility as both narrator and sound source in the environments that “One Of The Receivers” inhabits.

Skipper’s journal of uncertainty resonates in a new capacity from its initial inception both in time and media format. Curiously, the recycled investigation within his musings give pause for reflection that, in fact, we are perhaps in no further illuminated a space. Sitting amidst an interstitial contemporary reality of dread, boredom, and confusion we collectively yearn for a new kind of catharsis, one that seems, as yet, beyond our immediate grasp.

IOD PODCAST

We are happy to have The Undertaker’s Tapes for our 40th podcast. 
Prague based artist Léo Hivert built his sound from playing in punk bands from an early age, this raw and relentless energy is carried into his EBM productions while he develops the cathartic aspect through noise, power electronics and down tempo industrial.
Fascinated by Poe and Blake, he finds his voice in subjects such as death, belief and longing, cast through the prism of his own experience and sensitivity.

Torn Relics : Burning Injustice [IOD052] 

'Burning Injustice', the second album by Torn Relics, weaves mythical and futuristic elements of an unknown world. Haunting, visceral and diverse in production styles, the duo continues to pave their own musical territory. 

This album was written between 2017 - 2021, in which the music produced reflects the decay of the political and social landscape in the UK, from the Brexit divide to covid isolation. This music serves as antidote in these turbulent times. 

Torn Relics are an experimental electronic duo based in London, composed of Romek Boyer (AKA Rommek) & Aimée Mullen. The body of their work is a mixture of cyber-punk electronics with tribalistic violin, rhythms and tones. Their debut EP, The Poisoned Chalice, was released on Sacred Court in 2019 and included a remix from SNTS. Abolish The Dogma, the duos debut 8-track album was released in 2020 on Leyla records, which showcases the diversity of their production styles.

Artist: Balrog
Release: The Nothern Powerhouse' LP
Cat number: IOD053
Release date: 14.02
Format: CD & digital

Balrog’s debut album, “The Northern Powerhouse” is composed of 8 hard-hitting techno tracks, focusing on heavy, groove-ridden drums, driving basslines and obscure, distorted vocals. His tracks take influence from classic, hard-grooving techno but with a fresh injection of modern, industrial power.
The framework for the tracks was developed in the midst of the fallout from the UK leaving the EU and the numerous attempts to “level up” the north of the country through The Northern Powerhouse scheme, from which the album derives its name. Conceptually, the album is an attempt from the artist to dissociate himself from Brexit and the conservative government which has consistently stigmatised the most vulnerable in UK society and spread lies on an industrial scale in order to push forward their agenda.
           Through the album, a series of linked tracks mirror the raw divisions in society, not just between The North and The South of the UK, but also more widely representing divisions throughout the world.  As the album develops, a more hopeful outcome is suggested, seeing the culture of underground music as having the potential to build connections and incite resistance in an increasingly divided world.

IOD PREMIERE #010 // OTON - DARK PROMO

The concept for Schacke’s, Apocalyptic Decadence was thought out during the dark days of the first lockdown in 2020, it is essentially about the desire for hedonism and excess being amplified when faced with apocalyptic omens and the annihilation of the familiar. 

When faced with destruction, the psyche approaches a duality, it can either swallow the pill of bitter realism or withdraw and escape into the imaginal, constructing a world of hedonism and pleasure, the paradox of the latter, which the album explores, is that this approach only accelerates the process of impending doom and the delusion that through the pursuit of eschatological pleasure, the world might be orgasmically reborn. 

Apocalyptic Decadence sees Schacke exploring the full spectrum of his musical discography, taking inspiration from the industrial, dark and rough sounds from his early days, combining it with the hyper-sensuality of his later works. The sound is twisted, psychological, sex-fixated and intoxicating. 

The album can be considered the 3rd part in his “Pleasuredome Series”, following his prior two releases on Instruments Of Discipline: ‘Welcome To The Pleasuredome’ & ‘Artificial Intercourse’.

Apocalyptic Decadence

PREMIERE: Schacke - Creeping Up The Tempo (Instruments of Discipline)

Based in Copenhagen, the half Danish half South Korean musician Schacke has been producing sounds of a large variety of different styles since their early teens. Starting with a background in Metal, Noise, and Industrial, Schacke has continually shown a determination to expand and evolve their universe through the exploration of electronic music. Since moving to Copenhagen around ten years ago, Schacke has run an underground label for experimental music, co-owned and run the legendary Mayhem venue in Copenhagen, and released music under a variety of different aliases on local and international labels.

As one of the original members of the Fast Forward collective and agency, Schacke has played a significant role in shaping and defining what has become known as the ‘’Copenhagen Techno Sound’’, which they helped pioneer with their first two techno records on the now-defunct Ectotherm label between 2015-2017 started by Mama Snake and Courtesy. Schacke is also a resident DJ and event organizer at the famous queer sex parties by feminist porn production company ‘’Bedside Productions’’.

Schacke has recently used their musical versatility to make soundtracks for anything from porn movies, feature films, and runway shows for major fashion brands and designers in Paris and New York.

Schacke draws inspiration from a wide range of different genres, usually using techno as only a template to explore and make genre bending fusions using a mixture of unlikely sources. With the combination of hard-hitting beats and rolling baselines, usually mixed with catchy leads and euro vocals, their tracks are always bound together with a precise execution of delicately layered textures, making Schacke’s techno distinctly recognizable yet strangely unpredictable. His debut album 'Apocalyptic Decadence' is out now on Instruments Of Discipline.

IOD PREMIERE #034 // HYBRAL - THE QUEER TURN

Hybral's new EP "Affirmative Action" is a dystopian industrial techno masterpiece that shows evil in its most beautiful and intense form. Dark, cinematic and frightening sounds lead you on a ghost hunt of rhythmic darkness, drawn full of turning points and unforeseen, surreal events. The EP is the image of a total horror, a bizarre journey through eternal darkness, as if in a black hole that sucks in all light and the whereabouts of matter remain uncertain. You experience a reality in which the contents of your stomach are overturned by your internal organs and all existing laws are reversed. 

The mood of the track, "The Queer Turn", is reminiscent of cold and rough clefts in the mountains, towering rock formations in the shape of shark's teeth towards the gloomy sky. Chainsaw-like cries of rebellion and determined marching of queer communities echo in the valleys and shape the landscape for generations to come.

IOD PREMIERE #034 // HYBRAL - THE QUEER TURN

Guiding their audience through a collection of electronic vibes, Mar/us ignites a passion for self-expression and uninhibited joy.

IOD PREMIERE #042 // KRIS BAHA - DIGITAL SHADOWS

Yumeo, a musician who explores the hidden pleasures of industrial music, is set to release his album "Wild Tale" on June 7th through MURDER CHANNEL, a label known for its support of artists with a stoic aesthetic. The album artwork was created by Helo from Turkey.

"Wild Tale," which literally means "dream story," is a 10-track album that encapsulates the dream of a virtual world enhanced by technology. With a theme of "soundtrack for a fictional science fiction work," the album features a raw yet futuristic soundscape, unified by its floor-like beats.

The album includes remixes by Mick Harris, former drummer of Napalm Death and a pioneer of industrial techno and Birmingham techno under the name Fret, and Katran, a member of the Serbian post-industrial techno unit ONTAL. Throughout the album, hypnotic euphoria surfaces, and the intense machine beats transcend mere hard sound to skillfully embody the paradox of "mechanical physicality."

From industrial sounds like noise and EBM to kitschy pop, this album is a concentrated showcase of Yumeo's boundless curiosity.
We are happy to premiere 'Hybristophilia' from the upcoming album. Out now available on CD and digital.

IOD PREMIERE #044 // 14ANGER - Artery And Vein 01 [OMEN Recordings]

OMEN Recordings proudly presents "Artery and Vein," the latest from French Techno visionary 14ANGER. This EP is a tour de force of dark, atmospheric intensity, pushing the genre’s boundaries and delivering an unforgettable, visceral experience. "Artery and Vein 01" dives into deeper, more ominous territory. Ethereal pads float over driving kicks, with ghostly voices whispering from the edges of consciousness. The track masterfully balances delicate atmospheres with punishing beats, evoking the unease of confronting the unknown. "Artery and Vein 02" is a relentless surge of hypnotic, industrial rhythms. Ominous basslines twist through metallic clangs and eerie drones, drawing listeners into a world where darkness and intensity reign supreme. "Artery and Vein 03" is both brutal and beautiful, a piercing assault of hard-hitting drums and searing synths. Beneath its aggressive exterior lies a melancholic undercurrent, offering a complex exploration of tension, release, pain, and beauty. DUELLIST amplifies the original’s haunting atmosphere with raw, industrial power, infusing it with an off-beat rhythm that disrupts and intensifies the track's relentless pulse. Grinding synths and sharp percussion transform the track into a relentless, pulsating force, perfect for peak-time destruction on the dance floor. Honored to have OGMAH back on the label, he reimagines the track with a more atmospheric approach, adding a crunching distortion that enhances the track’s haunting soundscape. This remix offers a moment of reflection amidst the EP’s intensity, blending ethereal elements with raw, gritty textures. Inspired by themes of fear, reverence, and confrontation, "Artery and Vein" is a sonic journey where mechanical precision meets haunting, ethereal soundscapes. From the relentless rhythms of the title track to the atmospheric depths of the remixes, this EP is a must-listen for those who seek the darker corners of techno.

In a split release between Instruments Of Discipline and Total Black, Operant presents ‘Vape N Bleed’ a four track EP, presented on 7” vinyl and digital release. The EP sees Operant more actively exploring the absurd, a strange, grinding experience that vaguely straddles pop structures with elements of witch-house and breakcore, duelling vocals pitching between goth drone and moments of melodic levity.

releases February 25, 2019

Schacke transmits a 4 track EP of erotically charged techno, pulsing with soundscapes & textures that evoke at once both the interior of the body and the inner workings of the universe’s hive-mind, vocal samples haze into orgy, sweeping walls of noise are punctuated by trance-influenced melodies, buoyed by a rhythm track that is as playful as it is relentless.

Schacke has been a pivotal figure for the current Copenhagen techno scene, having run the Moral Defeat label from the underground hub that is Mayhem, his roots in punk and noise music define an energy and intrigue to his production that is singular.
