Eidetic imagery is the ability to remember an image in so much detail, clarity, and accuracy that it is as if the image is still being perceived. It is not perfect, as it is subject to distortions and additions, and vocalization interferes with the memory.

PREMIERE - Mickey Nox - Often Vicious [GFR086]

Hybral‘s powerful track starts with dark aggressive beats and hauntingly ominous atmospheres, evoking feelings of being threatened, and continues with evolving dystopian modular ambiences that sharpen the intensity of the overall alarming timbre. 

The track shakes the listener into a state of disorientation and asks to question ourselves and our position in society. It evokes the power and necessity of movement and destruction as a source of change. By using awry harmonies and noisy chaotic sounds, Hybral expresses how queerness disrupts and reorders norms by not following accepted paths and normative aesthetics. 

Out on Paula Temple's Noise Manifesto
Mastered by Alain Paul Mastering or Tymon 

100% of the Income generated from this album will be donated to thebridge2hope.org/en/ - a registered not-for-profit in Amsterdam who focuses on supporting 30 people a year recovering from modern slavery.

Hybral - Haunted Desires (Noise Manifesto)

After a successful remix in 2022, SHE!K returns to OMEN Recordings with his solo debut EP. The London native brings his signature modular-based music with four aggressively raw originals that will shake your insides and claw at your brain. On remix duties is another return from Polish star HATELOVE, and a second one from label boss AXKAN.  

Taser Ace - Mechanical grooves lead the way to monstrously maddening tones, built on pure noise, they sit lurking and impatiently waiting to destroy dance floors.   

Blowhole - Industrial 4/4 drum grooves meet distorted tops that are pure peak time energy from beginning to end. The porridge is just right on this one. 

Haze - This has to be the most driven track of the release. A no-mercy, broken beat masterpiece full of heavily distorted nuances that will keep you on edge. 

Subterfuge - The title track brings forth a truly beautiful sub-bass paired with relentless techno melodies that will shred your nerves to pieces.  

Haze (HATELOVE Remix) - Industrial drum grooves meet distorted tops that is pure peak time energy while keeping you on edge.   

Haze (AXKAN Remix) - The label boss’ heavy industrial/broken beat rework brings about cinematic tones that bleed into futuristic sonic madness and hi-tech hellscapes. 

This EP will be available in digital format everywhere. It paves the road for carefully crafted dark and industrial techno to inspire many. For more information visit: facebook.com/omenrecordings or at our online store at omenrecordings.bandcamp.com.

We are really happy to present to you our new release, «Fragments Of Decay EP » by the polish producer Violent, label boss of Lethal Curse. Five industrial masterpieces including two remixes by the Berlin based broken beat monster Swarm Intelligence, and Samot, founder of Nexe Records and half of NX1.

Bandcamp: https://askornrecords.bandcamp.com/album/violent-fragments-of-decay-ep-inc-samot-swarm-intelligence-remixes-askrn16

A1: Hellscape
Let’s introduce this EP with this slow and dark masterpiece: Hellscape. Deconstructed and rolling drums patterns, this opening track sounds like a tribal ritual sacrifice. Be ready to fight.

A2: Utopia
Broken beat techno at its finest! Doomy atmosphere and eerie impact sounds, surrounded by some cinematics drone and synths. Horror music to escape the inquisition.

A3: Total Damage
Catchy and groovy 4-4 indutrial techno track, with an unforgetable drum break. Expect some distorted kickdrums and punchy snares. This track will slice up your local dancefloor.

B1: Hellscape (Samot Remix)
Monstruous remix by Samot, with a crazy rework of the original Hellscape’s synth. Crunchy drums, gloomy morph bass and cold ambience, vinking lumberjack vibes. 

B2: Total Damage (Swarm Intelligence Remix)
As always, Swarm Intelligence brings the chaos on this one, with a fucking angry noisy rework of Total Damage. It’s judgment day. 

Supported by Ghost In The Machine, VII Circle, Ontal, Dax J, Philipp Strobel, Patrick DSP, David Asko, and more…

Fragments Of Decay EP

Violent - Total Damage [ASKRN016]

Swarm Intelligence - The Shattered Self

Swarm Intelligence - (SUB05)

Fierce and forlorn, Swarm Intelligence’s “The Shattered Self” delves into the complexities of human existence in an era dominated by technological advancements. In this thought-provoking exploration, the artist challenges listeners to confront the consequences of a near future where physical and mental augmentation are commonplace. In a world where limbs can be upgraded, where consciousness can be uploaded, where memories can be digitally archived and shared on social media, where our AI clones can liberate us from menial tasks... What remains of ourselves? Who is our self?

Swarm Intelligence draws influences from black metal, industrial-tinged dub, and post-rock, splicing these with his distinctive take on techno to devastating effect. "Dejected," the inaugural track, unleashes grinding walls of feedback against a relentless broken beat, its foreboding atmosphere heightened by a menacing low growl of distorted bass that permeates the unease. It's a disquieting overture that sets the stage for the tumultuous journey ahead.

The second track, “Eros” envelops the listener in a visceral soundscape, where haunting atmospheres intertwine with grinding feedback and pounding percussion. Initially tense, the track evolves into an unexpected and almost euphoric climax, adding an unforeseen emotional depth to the sonic narrative. Yet, beneath the surface, an undercurrent of tension remains—an ever-present reminder of the fragility of our self.

On the flip side, "Inciter" channels inner fury through a guttural chant punctuating a Birmingham-styled broken beat, marching forth with unyielding force.

Finally, "Portal" offers a moment of quiet introspection, as haunting pads echo a mournful refrain while micro recordings of whirring machinery are assembled into the percussion section. It serves as a poignant curtain-closer.

Through "The Shattered Self," Swarm Intelligence challenges listeners to reconsider their perceptions of identity, consciousness, and agency in an age where the machine and the human converge. It's a haunting and profound journey—one that invites introspection and contemplation long after the final reverb tails fade into silence.

We curate queer sex-positive parties with equally queer line-ups, featuring mostly non-binary and trans DJs. Our aim is to platform artists with gender identities that are under-represented in the music industry, showing that it is possible to have more inclusive and diverse booking practices without a decrease in musical quality, but in fact with an increase by bringing new and previously unheard perspectives to the dance floor.

Discovering and nurturing new talent is at the very essence of SUBVERTED. We stand in resistance to the homogenisation and sanitisation to which the techno industry has been subjected in recent years via formulaic, easily-digested productions and repetitive line-ups, and intend to continue opening the industry's gates for a new generation of artists that are pushing their own unique and fresh take on dark industrial techno.
