Black Light Smoke fuses techno, EBM and post-punk on his Brain Dead EP, backed with a remix from Alessandro Adriani.

Black Light Smoke combines weighty drums and analog synths on four tracks with a common thread: the use of his own warped vocals. From the cowbell rhythms and suspenseful pads of ‘Brain Dead’ to the hard-hitting bleeps of ‘Nailed to the Ground’, he infuses his tracks with a rare character, quality and flair. The release also comes with a remix from Mannequin Records boss Alessandro Adriani, whose expertise sees him turn ‘Machines Don’t Love’ into a staggering EBM track.

Daytime Emmy-winning producer and songwriter Jordan Lieb aka Black Light Smoke has racked up releases on Scissor & Thread, Voodoo Down, Nein Records and his own Death Decay Magic. Known for his world-renowned sets featuring live vocals and his productions both in- and outside of electronic music, he’s undoubtedly an artist in a class of his own.

Tracklist:

01 Brain Dead
02 Earthquake
03 Machines Don’t Love
04 Nailed To The Ground
05 Machines Don’t Love (Alessandro Adriani Remix)

PREMIERE: Black Light Smoke - Brain Dead [ZONE]

Human Endeavour Records, the newest member of the Ransom Note Records label family, returns with ‘Confession Time’, its second release and first solo artist EP from Anastasia Zems.

Hot on the heels of the inaugural release, a Various Artists EP featuring six producers from across the world, they welcome the DJ, vocalist and producer for a four-track EP of heads down, mid-tempo sludge that sees her thread the needle between acid, EBM, new beat and cold wave.

With opener ‘Underwear’ Anastasia plots a course into murky depths. The most club-ready cut on the release, it’s driven by a pulsating acid line and rumbling bass that soon give way to hypnotic synth patterns and Anastasia’s sultry, commanding spoken word.

On the inspiration behind the EP, Anastasia explains: “Behind each of the tracks there is a story about something personal. It so happens that my vocals usually appear in tracks during improvisation and most often do not change. This is my way of expressing feelings. It turns out that this is the time for confession.”

As a DJ and producer Anastasia Zems chases a counterpart to her urban upbringing, drawing inspiration from the tribal sounds of imagined rainforests. Her psychedelic, rhythmic productions, which she laces with her signature mysterious vocals have earned her singles, remixes and EPs on labels like Needs, Les Yeux Orange, ИДА, Fucanglong Files and Whypeopledance.

Human Endeavour is the newest addition to Ransom Note Records’ family of sub-labels. Curated and run by Ransom Note Editor, and one half of DJ duo Kiara Scuro, Rosie Ama Cain, the label will be a “space for artists who are exploring the dark, deep and hypnotic corners of the musical spectrum.

In the wake of Slowaxx's debut album released in February, Bordeaux-based record label Broken District unveil a compelling collection of live renditions that underscore the dynamic soundscapes crafted by his talented ensemble, which includes six adept musicians alongside rapper Young A.M.A...Our pick from the album is opening track ‘Shapes Interfusion (Intro) ‘. In just less than two minutes, the track unfolds a mesmerising tapestry of serene saxophone soundscapes, artfully interlaced with ethereal keys and subtle, FX-laden guitar touches. The slumbering bass lines pulse beneath it all, crafting an exhilarating ascent into a multifaceted meditative experience resonating within the depths of the Mediterranean sea.

Slowaxx - Shapes Interfusion (Intro) - Live [Broken District]

The time has come—we have hit exactly 20 years since the launch of Dirt Crew Recordings back in 2004. An incredible journey lies behind us, filled with the discovery of many talented artists and even more amazing tunes that we first heard as demos and brought to life on wax, CD, or digital.

As we don’t often look back, we decided not to release another “Best of” compilation. Instead, we are excited to present 15 brand-new tracks by both early and recent artists who have worked with us over the years.

The result is a broad spectrum that showcases the unique style of our label, spanning deep house, disco, electronica, and electro. These fifteen tracks capture the richness of dance music within our little universe. Dive into this playlist and experience the Dirt Crew sound.

For our inaugrual release we voraciously present Contort Yourself label boss (and also one half of post punk duo Women's Hour) Murray CY and his misadventures with some quasi electronic not quite post punk under the dubious guise, model stress.

"with a mumble and a fumble, communication is the key to model stress, but sadly the key is stuck in the lock.

listen as he takes the smallest of issues and turns them into huge pantheons of insignificance.

hearing is not believing my friends and believing spelled backwards is gniveileb which contains the veil that hides a thousand ancient secrets, and one mundane one which most people actually know.

but the show must not go on, and so it does..."

Established Finnish artist Jori Hulkkonen is back on home label My Favorite Robot with ‘Don't Believe In Happiness’, another fantastic full length.

Hulkkonen’s last album—of nine so far—came in 2015, with one before that coming in 2012, both on this label. Each one shows him to be a real synth master who can craft devastatingly emotional tracks that are infused with elements of dub, pop, nu-wave and techno. Following the release of the title track as lead single, the full album reveals itself to be another moody but beautiful affair that has evolved stylistically once more.

The icy and churchy chords of ‘Tintån Terdel’ kicks things off, with mid-tempo drums down low making for a brightly lit tune full of feeling. After the single comes ‘We Will Tear Love Apart Again’, a suspense-filled track with no drums but whispered vocals that drift above gentle synth turbulence. More cosmic tinged grooves come from ‘Lowlife Crises,’ while ‘Reach Out to China’ is a celestial affair with glowing chords and ambient smoothness. ’I Think About Your Car When I Drive Mine’ is an inventive track with echoing ‘80s chords and pained vocals above percolating clicks and pops.

The second half of the album journeys through pop leaning tracks with heavenly chords and well sequenced synths; abstract affairs where modulated sounds bring computers to life and then more dance floor orientated tracks like ‘Moon Is Real’ which surges along on a silky, celestial techno groove. ‘Just A Phase I’m Going Through’ is an edgy and energising retro-future pop cut, and the whole absorbing and artistic album comes to an end with the blissful layers of chords, pads and zoned out vocals on ‘New Ideologies.’

This magical album is another subtle development of Hulkkonen’s style that goes way beyond the dance floor and makes for a truly rewarding listen.
