Invisible Inc

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!

INVINC 33R Secret Circuit - Green Mirror RMXS [clips] OUT 28 June 2024

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.

Out of the murky, mystic world of Komodo Kolektif slides the Gamma Knife.

In the corner of a dank, dark mind, a nebulous notion condenses and solidifies, featureless and blind...and from that Komodo Klay a new kreature is hacked, molded and (mal)formed.

INVINC 38 Gamma Knife - Kuts LP [clips] Out 16 Dec 2024

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.

Flickorna på TV2 (Sebastian Dubbing rework)

Artists:  Local Suicide (@localsuicide)& Skelesys (@skelesys)
Track Title: Click Click
Release Title: Path Integral III
Label: Sum Over Histories (@sumoverhistoriesrecords)
Catalogue No.: SOH010
Release-Date: 19.06.2020

From an ill-lit corner of the Berlin underground scene, comes a collaborative work for the ages. "Path Integral III" is the third installment in this versatile and potent series from revered producers Frankey & Sandrinos via Sum Over Histories. With a stacked track list, this compilation wades through the grit and grime of a global electro-spectacle. 
 
Colluding to create their obscure vision, producers Local Suicide and Skelesys team up to deliver a magnetic track, "Click Click". With globally influenced sound, DJ duo Brax Moody and Vamparela, of Local Suicide, stamp their signature ominous resonance, indictive of their lengthy history together, while Buenos Aires native, Berlin based Damien aka Skelesys, is known to enthrall audiences with his grungy new age guitar sequences. Together, the trio harnesses sinister beats to propagate their tonal vibrations. Alongside Siza, YOKTO, Kevin Di Serena and others, this compilation is a juggernaut of auditory sophistication. 
 
The track captures attention with audible clicks of a camera, leading into bewitching vocals, hypnotizing the mind and stunning the ears. Percussive beats tick in and out, while synths tie together the illusion of a stalking paparazzo. An electric guitar rift vibrates throughout magnifying the subtle but daunting groove of the track. Listeners will lose their orientation and be captivated by the click, click, click... Out via Frankey & Sandrinos' Sum Over Histories on June 19th, 2020.

June - Horizons
Artificial Dance 2021
AD012

Following up to his studio companion Trenton Chase’s latest LP ‘Planar Array’ released earlier in 2020, half of Manie Sans Délire June turns up on Artificial Dance with his anticipated new mini-album, ‘Horizons’. True to the signature synth-splattered sound of his and his duo, June’s newest wave-imbued manifesto has us swimming amidst an organized chaos of roughly extruded keyboard wizardry, punk-minded drum programming and a retro-futuristic headspace.

Scanning out the gap between Italo, new wave, EBM and new beat, ‘Horizons’ shifts seamlessly from forward-moving, arpeggio-laden circuitry (‘JW’, ‘Infinity Room') to hi-intensity body music (’New Horizons’), through ambientoid spaced-out sonic explorations (‘Uncharted Territories’) and quirky downtempo chuggers (‘Reverie’, ‘Psychic Process’). A kaleidoscope of rhythmic tricks and shape-shifting mirages, June’s scope-expanding six-track voyage vows to play mind games with its listener till all lights have gone off.

June - Horizons (AD012)

Liptov is a 12 track collaboration between contemporary Czech and Slovak electronic music producers, each tasked with reinterpreting 1982s “Liptov - A Panorama of Folk Song and Music Culture”. The original collection sought to preserve the musical cultural heritage of the region, while the “Liptov” compilation maps the current spectrum of the electronic scene of both countries, across genres and styles. Initiated by Prague-based community project Punctum, and released on the Punctum Tapes label, the artists of Liptov not only confront the past with the present via the reimagining of traditional music, but also contribute to the ongoing emancipation of the local electronic music scene.

Compilation will be released on 12'' vinyl and digitally on February 12, 2021.

For the very only release of 2020, Blue Night Jungle wanted to go DIY. Through a 100% hand-dubbed tape and 9 tracks, label decided to gather many of the artists that attracted it's attention in the recent months - as with long-time friends from the BNJ Catalogue (shout out to Lyon’s Jibis and Vardae). As 2020 wanted to the compilation goes out of the club and reunites various atmospheres and musics. Sci-Fi ambient with Smogo, cavernous D’nB from Vardae, Adhémar’s mental electronica, slow trance vibes from Anatolian Weapons and acid reflexions Weapons and acid reflexions with Jibis, DudMode and Boskøw and this psychedelic ambient belter from Glasgow's Krokakai : this is just a glimpse of what you’ll hear there. Enjoy the ride !

OUT NOW: https://wherethetimegoes.bandcamp.com/album/frog-of-earth

What’s it like to be a frog? - a question posed by philosophizers and scienticians alike for nigh on millenia without any definitive progress or resolution to the issue. The sad truth is that Man, in his usual self absorbed way, has only ever attempted to apply his own logical tricks and turns of phrase to describe the totally nonhuman sensual experience of the frog. In his arrogance, Man has failed to even realise the futility of his venture, of superimposing himself onto its self. The frog’s rich experience is its own, and now for possibly the first time in human history Man may, if he allows himself to, glimpse the essence of the frog. But not through word, or through self referential descriptions and calculations; but through self-absolving experience - through the Frog of Earth.

Frog of Earth is the debut album by the Frog of Earth, and is available now to purchase via bandcamp in single disc 12" vinyl LP, and in all digital formats.

Worldwide distribution handled by Rubadub.

Artwork by Mel & Dean.

An electronic ambient collection recorded over the months of LOCKDOWN .1 2020.

Utilising a range of vintage analog and digital synthesisers plus some newer West coast modular devices. Both interspersed with and influenced by field recordings taken whilst exploring the gaps between the city of London and its semi rural ex-industrial environments. A reflection on moments captured, moments lost and moments re-imagined.

The resulting music operates within a similar space and vibrationexplored by artists such as Harold Budd, Suzanne Cianni, Brian Eno, Steve Reich and Wendy Carlos.
