Our 10th digital release comes courtesy of Budapest's Bal5000.

It's his second EP for the label, the first being the Bleu Infini EP back in 2017(although some stellar tracks of his did appear on the Lost Transmissions compilation which is getting a repress this year and the Invisible Family EP#3).

For those unfamiliar with him, Bal5000 was pretty big on the drum & bass circuit a decade or so ago (known simply as "Bal" back then) but more recently he's been exploring this kind of bass-heavy spaced house and slo-mo acid sound like you'll find here. Kind of reminiscent of I:Cube a little...but you'll find it definitely has its own distinct flavour.

Bal5000's music has been enjoyed and played by ALFOS, Daniele Baldelli, The Beat Broker and more. Here's what's been said about "Neutra" EP:

"Love the music" DJ Kaos [Jolly Jams / Rong] 

"I like these very much" Sean Johnston [ALFOS / Hardway Bros.] 

"Brilliant" Leri Ahel [Mutant Disco Radio Show] 

"This is great! LOVING "Emporia" Thom Roland [Zillas On Acid]

"Bali Beat - wow! What a beast and another top release - pure fire!" [Mr Choon]

Neutra EP

INVINC DD10 Bal5000 - Neutra EP [samples] Out 18 Feb 2022

Slovenian DJ/producer Marjan Vitorijoski's productions first showed up on our collective radar back in 2019 leading to an appearance on the 1st volume of Dancefloor Detonators on Invisible Inc swiftly followed by an appearance on Curses' Ombra International imprint.  

Three years on and Vitorijoski's sound is even more focussed and refined. His productions more advanced, his roots deeper.  

Expressing a deep passion for ancient Macedonian culture and art, his music often sounds like a bridge between his European homeland and the Orient.  

With an array of hardware and effects processors at his disposal that most producers would be highly envious of, his music also frequently benefits from the inclusion of organic instruments (a theme those familiar with Invisible Inc will be aware of) most notably the Persian daf (a frame drum similar to the Celtic bodhran) which punctuates each song with its hypnotic beat.  

Interspersed with monastic chants that seem to channel the ancestors perfectly, the swirling arpeggiated synths, pulsing bass lines and scything rhythms result in a sonic palette that sounds as rooted in history as it is current. It's also highly hallucinogenic. Close your eyes and you can imagine yourself transported to an ancient Macedonian opium den.  

The three original tracks are complemented by an epic remix from Optimo Music stalwart and Phase Group founder Mr TC who takes the acid and explores the outer limits even further.  

The EP's artwork is based on a pattern from traditional Macedonian costume - originating from a period when opium dens were still very much in existence.

It's been almost 3 years since the first volume of Dancefloor Detonators enhanced our nocturnal revelries, so it's a pleasure to announce a second volume is in production and is due to hit our turntables by end of July.
As with the first release, Volume 2 follows a similar principle, namely to put on vinyl some of the more popular tracks from the label's digital catalogue alongside some exclusive new cuts. The resultant 5-tracker is nothing short of sublime.
Label regulars Secret Circuit, Sordid Sound System and Bal5000 appear alongside Optimo Music regular Feon and newcomer Wanda Krak.

Dancefloor Detonators Vol. 2

INVINC 32 Dancefloor Detonators Vol. 2 12" EP [limited to 333 copies] OUT 28 JULY 2022

Some time not long after log(m) & Laraaji released their epic opus "The Onrush Of Eternity", log(m) were asked to DJ at an ambient festival out in the Canadian woods. They tasked themselves with creating fresh ambient mixes of tracks from the album exclusively for this festival, minimalist "reductions" as they prefer to call them, that could be woven in and out of the ambient soundscapes they wished to bless their listeners with. 
A handful of these tracks were produced and then forgotten about. 
Presented here are three of the "best" of these productions. Not simply versions with the beats stripped away, but re-crafted and re-constructed versions focussing on the synths rather than the percussion, while also keeping in mind the sort of “open minded” audience they knew they would be performing to. 
With Bare Toes and Deeping Beatless we hear echoes of the two pieces that birthed them whilst at the same time opening up these familiar sonic spaces further, making them arguably even more psychedelic. 
Be As You Will Be is in fact an "expansion" rather than a "reduction" of the previously vinyl-only Eternal Opuscule #126 - Be As You Will: a one-minute long piece that culminated in an infinite locked groove, but which is now developed into a full piece of hypnotic ambient bliss. 
I'm sure listeners will agree these ambient excursions add another deeper, more meditative layer to the atmospheres their original counterparts created.....each track being allowed to breathe more freely, more deeply.

"A Surplus Of Absurdity" is released to coincide with the repress of log(m) & Laraaji's much lauded epic triple-album "The Onrush Of Eternity" which lands in record stores worldwide in the week beginning 19 September 2022

A Surplus Of Absurdity

INVINC 21R log(m) & Laraaji - A Surplus Of Absurdity [samples]

Very pleased to announce that after some very long delays the long-awaited double album of new music by Secret Circuit is finally landing next month.

The album is comprised of 21 tracks of new material, 82 minutes of music, all gleaned and distilled down from around 60 demos recorded between 2020 and 2022. 

Some of these demos were sent under the name E Ruscha V, others as Only Thingz, but Invisible Inc wanted to capture a sound of Ruscha's that was outside of these in some way: a sound somewhere between the cosmic, otherworldy music of Secret Circuit and the warmer, earthier music of E Ruscha V and the ambient side of Only Thingz, yet which tried to capture both the more emotive AND more experimental side of this prolific and extremely talented producer. A paradox perhaps but it seems we've managed it. Very rarely do we hear modular synths doing something so human sounding... and when juxtaposed alongside slide guitars, live bass and vocodered vocals, we have something very special indeed. Needless to say, it seemed 100% appropriate to release this music under the Secret Circuit name.

A highpoint for the label in 2023, no doubt.
___________

The album comes housed in a full colour reverse board sleeve featuring original artwork by Eddie Ruscha and comes with a colour double-sided insert with liner notes (written in reverse so you'll need a mirror to read them, of course) and more of Eddie's drawing.

Vinyl costs are extremely high at the moment, due to materials going up in price, but we will try and have this special package retailing for as low as possible to make this affordable for as many as possible...namely just £24 (you'll see single disc LPs selling for this price these days).

We'll start taking pre-orders on bandcamp on 3 March 2023

Green Mirror

INVINC 33 Secret Circuit - Green Mirror 2xLP [clips] OUT 10 APRIL 2023

Invisible Inc is proud to present another unique and remarkable release, this time diving even further into ambient, spiritual and folk-infused psychedelia. 

“Mondo Organico”, as the name suggests, is a concept compilation that captures the “organic” side of the label. The use of non-electronic instrumentation is a familiar theme explored previously with the likes of Komodo Kolektif, Immaculate Rivombo and Peter Power...but this time the instruments and voices, tranquil and meditatively hypnotic in places, display an even deeper spirituality. 

Featuring the talents of Andi Otto and his fello (electronic cello), Anna vs June's ethereal vocals, Tyler Ov Gaia's zoned-out mantra rhythms, Pieter Kock's 8-minute bass and guitar psych odyssey, as well as label favourites Sordid Sound System and Puma & The Dolphin, the record is enthralling and mesmerizing from start to finish. You will want to flip it over when you reach the end...and start all over again. 

______________ 

It seemed appropriate to press this album on eco vinyl. Everything from the sleeve and vinyl to the inks themselves are recycled, in an attempt to address some of the environmental issues we face today, albeit fractionally. 

Packaging is 100% carbon neutral and their factory is 99% circular in terms of wastage, recycling and energy usage.

Time, Tone & Texture Two (Side 1)

Invisible Inc once again presents another incredible full-length album from the talented Double Geography. Following on from 2020's “The Indoor Gardener”, the new LP “Open Water” is bathed in a similar blissful atmosphere.

Double Geography aka Duncan Thornley (one half of Weird Weather and studio engineer at MAP Studios), following the success of his debut album had sent Invisible Inc demos of his second and third album, which although excellent in their own way, the label reluctantly declined on the basis that the music didn't quite fit into the spectrum of the label's output. However, this fourth studio album fits the bill perfectly. Leaning towards the label's more ambient and laidback output, the album is themed around water, transience and escape and sounds as unshackled and free-flowing as you'd expect...you can almost feel the breeze in the air and the sun on your skin.

There is a noticeable progression in the music from his previous releases, this time featuring several additional musicians to compliment Thornley's electronics with live instrumentation...adding a complexity and depth to each of these compositions and an overall 'organic' quality that makes these new pieces sound like quite a departure from the first album. Fretless bass, clarinet and saxophone decorate the music with refrains and melodies that have been enchanting our imagination even in their absence since first hearing them.

_________________________

“I wanted to incorporate some live musicians on this release so called upon some of the talent I'd worked with as an engineer at MAP Studios...that was the main drive behind the music for this release. The tracks are named after things that relate to either leaving behind canal boat living, e.g. Goodbye Great Escape (Great Escape was the name of our boat) or memories from a trip to Hydra, Greece. All sorta water related… On one of our walks around the island we ended up sharing a beach with Pierluigi Collina hence Famous Italian Referee! That track felt like the weirdest of the bunch so it got designated the weirdest name / memory!” (Duncan Thornley, March 2024)

Open Water

INVINC 36 Double Geography - Open Water LP [clips] OUT 1 May 2024

Composed back in 2020, these three pieces have lain in waiting in the Invisible vaults ever since, maturing like a fine wine, and now ready to breathe and be consumed by musical connoisseurs the world over. 

Triptych as the title suggests features three tracks, the opening title track being a Triptych in itself; a musical journey that flows continuously through three interconnected sections that elicit three distinct atmospheres as we weave our way through the full 13 beautiful minutes of its length. 

Touch Air, is a rhythmic odyssey, a trance-like production masterpiece for spiritual enrichment. 

Pythagoras in Japan is an ambient trip to the far east. Drifting on a tanpura-like drone the piece floats off to infinity as waves of sound enmesh one another while spoken-word poetry transports us to Pythagoras' final destination. 
_______ 

"All tracks were made around 2020 when I was still living in Berlin. I shared a studio with Marc (Altjira) in Marzahn, an industrial area on the city's outskirts. The building holds around 100 studios, so many musicians are always around. We'd sometimes get together in one of the studios and listen to each other's music. For 'Pythagoras in Japan,' I got help from two of my neighbours. I had made the base of the track but didn't really know how to continue. One of my neighbours suggested adding some spoken word to it, so we browsed YouTube together and immediately found this great poem by Yoko Shibata, which fitted perfectly. My other neighbour played some live synth takes for me. I can still feel the spirit of that night in the song, which gives it extra depth for me." (Sjoerd De Ridder, March 2024)

Triptych EP

INVINC DD13 Sigward - Triptych EP [clips] OUT 3 April 2024

If you missed the original Secret Circuit album ("Green Mirror" 2xLP) which came out last year, it's been lauded as Eddie Ruscha's finest work and has been one of the label's best sellers (and some even saying the label's "best release"). 
To mark a year since its release 4 remixers were asked to re-interpret tracks from the album. As one would expect with original source material that ranges from minimal and space-y tech to properly drifting ambience, the pool of remixers (and the resultant remixes) are equally diverse. 
First up is Glasgow-based tropical traveller Kusht who turns the album's opening track "Undenying" into a trippy slo-mo chugfest. This is followed by Khidja's Andrei Rusu who takes on "Light On The Sand" which comes out transformed into a polyrhythmic Steve Reich-ian epic of stuttering synths and tuned percussion. The Froid Dub remix is as dubby and lo-fi as you'd expect from these two French dub-wave geniuses...and closing up is veteran Switzerland-based experimentalist Michal Turtle whose version takes things in a strange but familiarly emotive direction.
Suffice to say, we love them all and hope you do too!

Following on from last years's "Mondo Organico" compilation, the latest Invisible Inc mini-compilation "Mondo Ritmo", as its title suggests, sets its sights firmly on rhythm and percussion.
Featuring a global array of artists hailing from Argentina to Senegal and everywhere inbetween, the influences and styles on display include latin, afro, dub, dancehall, experimental, acid and more and are guaranteed to expand your mind and move your body.
Initially this EP was intended to be Dancefloor Detonators Vol. 3 but things are fluid at INVINC HQ and the EP seemed to mutate as it grew!
However, lacking in dancefloor killers this EP most certainly is not. Proven and tested dancefloor bombs are Mytron & Balam's opening track "Cabasa Loca" which label boss GK Machine has been spinning at his Wrong Party nights and elsewhere for the last 6 months or so, resulting in track ID requests on several occasions...and the house/dancehall hybrid floor filler "Wicked Can't Run" by LA producer Tom Chasteen (Exist Dance/Dub Club) featuring legendary Jamaican DJ and toaster U Brown, and mixed by equally legendary producer/keyboardist David Harrow who first came to our attention through his regular keyboard contributions to all things On-U Sound related in the 1980s.
The rest of the tracks may not be peak time bangers but they are sure to please the more esoteric and adventurous dancefloors out there....it's an honour to have on board Calypso Records head honcho Thomass Jackson, Thomash (Voodoohop) and Gats (Suçuarana / Curuba) who together as Changa Boys bring in Senegalese drummer Ndiaxo dal Jaam, and finally the little-known Machine and percussionist Congo Caveman.

It’s been a good few years since we've seen a full release from Sordid Sound System aka Stuart Evans on Invisible Inc and the wait is very worth it - it’s a most welcome return.
It's possibly even some of Evans’ best work and so it’s a pleasure to have him back on board the good ship Inc.  
With the ten year anniversary of Invisible Inc coming in May it seems very fitting to include something by Sordid Sound System amongst the flurry of releases coming out in the run-up to that occasion.
Remarkably, this music is even harder to pigeon-hole than usual...even for Stu, who’s known for his raw, analogue, live takes that veer between dub and post-kraut, this is definitely quite "different": part surf acid, part dub, part psych-exotica, part motorik...and that's just the A-side. The B-side leans more towards ambience but of the oddball experimental soundtrack variety...a thoroughly enjoyable ride.
Enjoy the trip.

Resonance: 10 Years of Invisible Inc Label Night Part 1: GK Machine

You may be surprised to hear, after listening to the first Phase of the Resonance 10-year anniversary compilation which features a very ambient track by Ravelston that this is indeed the same artist who got everyone very much dancing at the compilation's launch party in June....but I assure you it is. If you were there, you know. If you weren't, then get yourself initiated and enjoy this 45 minutes of cosmic, bass-powered, post-disko from Edinburgh's Ravelston.

Resonance: 10 Years of Invisible Inc Label Night Part 2: Ravelston (LIVE)

The second volume of Invisible Inc’s 10-year anniversary celebrations has landed, hot on the heels of the scorching first volume.

Where Volume 1 focussed on the dub-style, electronic and ambient side of the label’s output, the second volume leans towards the ‘psych’ side of the label.

As has been a consistent pattern with the label in its decade of existence is its ethos of releasing new and exclusive tracks as well as releasing on vinyl pre-existing tracks that only ever saw the light of day in the digital realm. This compilation is no different. Alongside exclusive new material from Anna vs June, E Ruscha V, Banda Magnética, Exotic Gardens, Kanot and a Coyote remix of Sordid Sound System we also have for the first time on vinyl two tracks by Hena and Futurum that went somewhat under the radar first time round and really deserved to be shared with the wider world.

Three vinyl edits are also available as bonus tracks when downloading the whole album:
Hena - Nuan (Vinyl Edit) 6:06
Sordid Sound System - Gimme Fever (Coyote Remix) (Vinyl Edit) 5:38
Kanot - After Age (Vinyl Edit) 4:58

Hena is Ukrainian producer Volodymyr Gnatenko. I first heard "Nuan" in a mix by Andrea Ida & immediately needed to know what it was. Pure peyote-powered desert music that went under the radar and needed to be heard by more!

"Is It Balearic?" label boss Coyote does the honours and remixes the title track from Sordid Sound System's "Gimme Fever" LP turning it into a hypnotic acid dub mantra.

Swedish duo Kanot are Anton Kolbe (Tross) and Jesper Jarold (Fontän) joining forces to make dreamrock for psychonauts.

Also from Sweden are Futurum who sent me a promo of "Prado" over two years ago. A regular feature in my warm-up DJ sets, it's well overdue it being pressed up on wax!

Exotic Gardens is the alias of Peaking Lights' Aaron Coyes through which he finds a space for acidic experimentation enhanced by live dubstyle mixer operations.

LA-resident Eddie Ruscha, a frequent visitor to the label under his cosmic Secret Circuit alias, appears for the first time under his experimental ambient E Ruscha V moniker.

Banda Magnética is the brainchild of Hugo Capablanca (Discos Capablanca) & Borja Caro (Metametal) offering a mindpuzzler of improvised musique concrète.

Athens-based Anna vs June returns to the fold and closes the proceedings with a song of love, relationships, vulnerability and patience drenched in dreamy electronics.

Resonance: 10 Years of Invisible Inc Label Night Part 3: Dreems

It's not been known for Invisible Inc to reissue music except for the occasional obscure individual track...never an EP or an entire album.

But that unspoken rule has now been broken: Invisible Inc is proud to present the exceptional "Dual Head" by Swedish duo Futurum.

Originally released by Nadaville in 2023, Invisible Inc office boy GK Machine was amongst the lucky few to receive a promo of the album and the opening track "Prado" has been featured in his DJ sets ever since.

At the time the album went somewhat under the radar and it was felt at INVINC HQ that it deserved to be brought to a wider audience and (re)appreciated for what it was: a voyage through a myriad of sonic landscapes. The aforementioned "Prado" is a semi-organic bass-driven groove that resides somewhere between progressive psych and folk funk, oozing with '80s kosmische synth lines and melodies. "Beckholmen Bop" takes us to an entirely different space: a futuristic but sinister and mechanical wasteland in which metal oil cans are beaten by a gang of stray pagan robots. The title track "Dual Head" is an experiment in jazzed-out cyberfunk. "Spoeke" (meaning "Ghost") is a direct doorway into the spirit world!

Their sound, as well as utilising live instruments, is predominantly built around experimenting with digital synthesis: FM, AM and physical modelling.

The duo (Mattias Jonsson and Sæmundur Grettisson) tell us they recorded the album "during a weekend in a small cabin south of Stockholm in the winter of 2021. The beautiful calmness of the surroundings, and eerie late night sounds, like owls screeching, inspired some of the tracks, especially "Spoeke". At some later sessions in Studio Bank in Stockholm, percussionist Philippe "l'Animal" Lassey and drummer Tobias Berving contributed some jazz-funk grooves and afro-cuban elements to the mixture."

The artwork tries to capture the sense of wildness and folklore that the cabin conjures up and which comes through in these recordings.

Previously only available digitally “Awake Into Life” by 'Peter Power & Friends’ finally sees the light of day on vinyl.

Alongside Peter himself, his “friends” are a bunch of well known and not-so-well known collaborators from around the world: Australia’s Bronze Savage (Aficionado Recordings) and Brazil’s Psilosamples (Desmonta/Octave) to name just two. The resulting mystical brew is meditative, hypnotic and indeed deeply psychedelic.....and most certainly well worthy of seeing the light of day as a physical release.

Originally hailing from the emerald isle of Ireland and settling for a while in Berlin, Peter Power now resides in Bahia, Brazil close to where the world famous and free-wheeling Voodoohop collective sprung its roots on the streets and clubs of Sao Paolo. Peter has been a continuing member of the Voodoohop crew for a couple of years and has toured with them extensively as both musician and performer. Respected as a DJ and a producer his unique world-flavoured brand of electronic music has been released on Multi Culti, Kleine Reise, Crime City, Polychrome Sounds and now Invisible, Inc.

His DJ mixes are eclectic, far reaching, transcendent and at times even ritualistic, infused with a deep, dream-like spirituality which has resulted in him acquiring tens of thousands of followers from around the world all avidly keeping an ear out for his unique slant on the “DJ mix”.

Check out his page @Peter-power and you'll be sure to find something special

Coming out in late July from the man who brought you E Ruscha V's "Who Are You" to great acclaim earlier this year is @Secret-Circuit's 2nd EP for Invisible Inc, the cryptically titled "Out Of Body Interiors".

  Featuring four exclusive new tracks of the acid drenched, dubbed out, tropical disco variety Mr Ruscha, as always, delivers a sonic palette you won't find on many other imprints: from the turbo-charged homage to early 90s bleep meets indie rave euphoria of Stomping Ground, through the chugging, motorik groove of Crazy Ways which sounds like it's blasting out full volume from a smoke-filled Space Patrol hovercar gone rogue then flipping over to side B and waking up in Mali, Andromeda in a haze of syncopated percussion, other-worldly guitar licks and a billion new synthetically generated sounds that you may strongly suspect you just imagined.....to finally The Feather Drop which brings entirely new meaning to the word deep and which fires technicolour sounds of profoundly immense variety at the synapses at a rate of knots not many other producers can keep up with as all the while the bass holds court and keeps things deep rooted and dub heavy.

Secret Circuit (aka Eddie Ruscha V) has had a plethora of releases on an equally expansive plethora of labels under such names as The Parels (Lal Lal Lal), Blasé (ESP Institute), Food Of The Gods/Laughing Light Of Plenty (Whatever We Want), Odd Numbers ('No' Label), Shadow Kids (El Diablo's Social Club) and of course as Secret Circuit (Beats In Space, Emotional Response and Invisible, Inc.)

It gives me the greatest honour to finally be able to announce the release of this amazing triple vinyl masterpiece by log(m) and Laraaji on Invisible, Inc. 

Coming out soon in a limited edition of 200 copies on clear vinyl with green splatter and 300 copies on 140g black vinyl. All versions come housed in 350gsm card trifold sleeves.

Pre-orders available here: https://invisible-inc.bandcamp.com/album/the-onrush-of-eternity
______________

It's been over a decade since Laraaji first joined forces with log(m) in their Canadian studio in early 2007. In those ten years the trio recorded several hours of music. Over time these recordings, the majority starting life as live jams, were polished, dissected, processed, re-arranged and then finely and painstakingly distilled down to the 105 minutes of music that form the basis of this album, which finally reached completion just earlier this year. The wait has been more than worth it. 

The Onrush Of Eternity is a melding of minds like no other. Ever the pioneer of experimental ambience, Laraaji's signature hammered dulcimer, zither, mbira, sruthi drone box and exceedingly positive vibes are here combined with log(m)'s unique vision of gronky hi-tech psychedelic space dub. The resultant voyage into deeply meditative ambience and trance-inducing dub is as unexpected an outcome as it is a bona fide "Eureka" moment. It sounds neither like log(m) OR Laraaji....but of course like both. It is one of those rare collaborations that is, without a doubt, even greater than the sum of its already great parts. 

Log(m) started making waves in the early '90s as Legion Of Green Men with their visually striking 12"s, complete with eternal opuscules (locked grooves) and mathematically inspired titles, all lovingly issued on their own Post Contemporary imprint. These deservedly got the attention of Richie Hawtin who promptly asked the duo for an album on his own classic Plus 8 Records. 20+ years later and the music (much like their name) has morphed into something more sophisticated: even more complex, atmospheric and deeper than ever. 

Laraaji's reputation of course precedes him: he first came to wider attention when Brian Eno released his "Day Of Radiance" as part 3 of his Ambient Series in 1980. Since then, Laraaji has released over 40 albums, yet his stellar path seems still to be on the ascendant - a recent landmark being the 2017 "Sun" series of albums for the wonderful All Saints' Records. 

This unique triple LP in tri-fold sleeve is limited to 200 copies on clear vinyl with green splatter and 300 copies on black vinyl featuring no less than ten of log(m)'s signature vinyl only eternal opuscules and cryptic engravings on all three discs. 

'Barefoot'was given a sneak preview by Andrew Weatherall on his latest NTS Radio show on 9 November.

The Onrush Of Eternity

INVINC 21 log(m) & Laraaji - The Onrush Of Eternity 3xLP [samples] OUT 11 FEBRUARY 2019

Very proud to showcase yet another Glasgow-based artist for our second Invisible Inc digital-only release.

As with its predecessor by The Mamba, these releases aim to pack a slightly harder punch than the more psychedelic / cosmic outings the vinyl label is known for.

This time around it's Krokakai aka Kyle Webster at the controls. Some of you may remember Krokakai from our INVINC 17 Cassette compilation in late 2017. 

Ranging from tribal sci-fi rave to new wave electro and then powering onwards to almost industrial sounding slo-mo techno, the machines under Krokakai's control are perfectly tuned for Invisible Inc.'s dark side.

The EP features an amazing extended version of Ardu 1009 which appeared on INVINC 17-CAS that adds an entirely new breakdown complete with distorted (and deranged) saxophone thanks to Jude Thomson that definitely takes the track further than we could have imagined.

However, taking pride of place in pole position is the tribal sci-fi mantra Bodhran Beat: a spoken-word, bleep fuelled, drum-filled odyssey into rhythm and sound that's already been getting praise and plays from Manfredas, Mr TC and Alicia Carrera (Hivern Discs).

The two tracks are complimented on their respective sides by the new wave/synth pop of Mutual Reaction on side A and the hypno-gothic industrial throb of Awaken on the B

Burning Pleasures EP

INVINC DD 02 Krokakai -  Burning Pleasures EP (samples)OUT 22 APRIL 2019

So, finally we gave in to popular demand. With the booming interest in the digital-only tracks which we put out this year and the subsequent demand to have some of them on vinyl, it was decided at INVINC HQ to press up the most requested of these on nice shiny discs and package them in one of our nicely designed sleeves. Just for you. 

To compliment the widely acclaimed 'Bodhran Beat' by Krokakai and 'Trails' by The Mamba, we are proud to feature here Cantillate from the Netherlands whose album "Machines For Emotions" made waves in June and whose previous EPs have had support from Mr TC, Identified Patient, Gamma Intel and more. His slo-mo, sci-fi, tribal techno chugger 'Dust To Dust' is a mesmerising scream from the depths of the psychic abyss. Hailing from Ljubljana in Slovenia, Vitorijoski's 'The Voice Of Bárbaros' with its eastern turbo-gallop instantly reminded us of Simple Symmetry, Mehmet Aslan or something we'd hear on the great Disco Halal. We absolutely HAD TO squeeze it on here, no questions asked. And of course Krokakai and The Mamba you will know from the first two digital-only releases. Both of these tracks have had a huge interest from fans of the label and are the reason Dancefloor Detonators came about in the first place. DJs who have played one or both of these tracks include Andrew Weatherall, Thomas Von Party, Bufi, Cosmo Vitelli, Joakim, DJ Sofa, Ivan Smagghe, Nathan Gregory Wilkins, Vladimir Ivkovic, Myako and more.

All tracks have been (re)mastered especially for this vinyl release.

Comes certified with the "100% guaranteed dancefloor satisfaction" seal of approval.

INVINC 23 Dancefloor Detonators Vol. 1 12" [samples] OUT NOW

Cape Perpetua is a thing of beauty.

Sordid Sound System has taken his unique, raw, dub-infused sonic vision to a new level. With 'Cape Perpetua' we travel dem spaceways to a place that seems to grow more beautiful by the second; a textured, melodic, blissful interplanetary landscape where further words fail. From here Sascha Funke manages to take the controls and steer the mission on a futuristic space odyssey that's as urgent as it is blissful. Faint background signals of the original remain but are violently ejected from the airlock by the most synthetic, syncopated sounds the human ear has ever been exposed to. Flip over and we're straight into 'It's About Time'. This one is equally high octane ..... but this time of the afro-tinted psychedelic surf punk variety. If you aren't dancing to this you're probably dead. No rest for the wicked, however....because before we manage to get our precise bearings and a firm grasp of what just happened the acid techno space rock of 'Pneumonia Gulch' kicks in and takes us to places Hawkwind could only have dreamed of. Respite soon follows when the seductive voice of Eva Geist transports us to yet another beautiful paradise. Slowly it dawns on us that we're now in a dimension elsewhere entirely. Mind boggling. Nothing comes close. If you were to take a cockatil of mandrake, opium, LSD, ecstasy and a variety of amphetamines in the company of the heavenly host, the cosmic machine elves and a group of your best human friends with access to every instrument you ever wanted you would only know the half of it. This takes a very twisted, talented, mystic mind to come up with. I'm sure of it.

Let's open the doors to a whole new world.

A new world where the bastard love child of Tangerine Dream, Hardfloor, Sun Ra and The Gun Club rules supreme.

V Is For Vision

INVINC 25 LP 'V Is For Vision' compilation [samples]

To say we are "excited" to get this phenomenal album by Double Geography out would be a monumental understatement - it has been on rotation here at INVINC HQ pretty much constantly for a couple of months now and still never ceases to amaze and impress. 

Double Geography is Duncan Thornley, one half of Weird Weather who have released on Emotional Response, Going Good and their own Whip+Lash imprint, exploring sometimes hypnotic, sometimes abstract experimental tech-tronica. 

Double Geography, however, takes us deep into the undergrowth, into the world of plants. With tracks named after a variety of flora the music could loosely be described as laidback ‘balearica'. However, where much of that genre (if it can even be called a genre) has spawned so much insipid, mediocre coffee table ‘lounge music', The Indoor Gardener has retained that crucial element of tripped out psychedelia that transports us just that little bit higher. 

The music feels warm, melodic, emotive.....but listen closely and underneath the surface is a complex depth where you'll find a lot more is going on and it gives the whole piece of work an edginess undeniably synthetic in nature. Like an organic, analogue paradise re-imagined through the mind of an artificial intelligence. The atmospheres created being less a hazy "dreaminess" than a dreamlike cinematic soundtrack to a mystical reality. 

Technical wizardry is also very much apparent. Thornley's day job as an audio engineer has paid off well here. The unique character of many of the sounds we're hearing seem as rich, complex and diverse as the natural world that inspired their creation. His mastery of the equipment at his fingertips is obvious. 

So relax, take a deep breath and take a wander round this botanic paradise - a psychedelic Garden of Eden for the 21st century.

The Indoor Gardener

INVINC 27 LP Double Geography - The Indoor Gardener [samples] OUT NOW

There is definitely something "afro" inspired about this latest EP from Puma & The Dolphin, certainly in comparison to pretty much everything else the mysterious Bulgarian project has produced, including a great EP for Canadian imprint Chambre Noire and some stellar inclusions on every one of Dj soFa's highly respected "Elsewhere" compilations. 

The story goes that while immersed in domestic life during lockdown in Sofia the music evolved to take in what was happening at home and saw the inclusion of toy instruments, drum playing, the voices of children playing and even the family parrots whistling and squawking in the background. These random ambient insertions when seen in the context of the hypnotic and percussive rhythms and timbres are oddly reminiscent of the late, great Francis Bebey who, although culturally and physically a million miles removed, was also known for recording much of his work at home and who also featured the voices of his children playing. 

In fact, it is as much the music's playfulness and simplicity that give the pieces their distinctive character, at times echoing the repetition and mesmerism of Raymond Scott's "Soothing Sounds For Baby" series. Yet, childrens' music this is not. There is a mysticism and depth on one hand and a willingness to experiment on the other that echoes the pioneering experimentalist K. Leimer's early Eno-inspired tape outings (check "Supermarket" for example). 

I asked Puma & The Dolphin's Nikko Names if he could share the story behind how these six tracks came together. He had this to say: 

"This collection of pieces were created during a monotone period of my life which I have overlaid with colour: a time in which I surrender to the beauty of home life - watching my kids play, feeding the birds - entwining these sounds of my surroundings amongst the rhythmic layers of these pieces. Playing the drums to remind us of the next circle dance for four. There is something mystic to travel only in your head; a shamanic trip inside the body with no concepts and answers."

Indoor Routine

INVINC 28 Puma & The Dolphin - Indoor Routine [samples] 12"/mini-LP OUT NOW

Three years in the making only to be held up almost another year due to COVID and now finally seeing the light of day, is this brooding monster of a record by Brussels based Strapontin, aka multi-disciplinary artist Patrick Belmont.

Clocking in at over 35-minutes the record is almost album length and spans a multitude of depths and moods with elements of techno, new wave, rock 'n' roll, house and tribal…...all glued together with a uniquely sleazy atmosphere.

Add to this a heads-down-no-nonsense darkroom beast of a remix by techno maestro Sascha Funke and the package is complete.

Strapontin provides us with some insight:
“It started with a desire to move away a bit from my 'dancefloor' side and go into more undefined fields, I wanted to work with blurry sensations that I can't understand. I like mixed feelings. Dramatex 300 is made of that ambivalent mood. The voice is saying 'I'm feeling empty' and 'I'm feeling healthy' at the same time. I like that paradox. Eunuque is a song but is also a character I will develop in a short movie (which will act as the 'music video' of the song). The Eunuque is a character full of anger yet he doesn't want to fight nor has he a target to aim at. A restrained aggressivity is boiling inside him/it that has no opportunity to escape from the body and gain release. The song is the fever he feels from these inner battles. I think Le Bain d'Huile and Anti-sceptical have the same slow and angry feeling. I'm proud of these tracks because they are a bit mysterious to me and it feels like they controlled me more than I controlled them.”
