DistantFromDisturbance

Forged from the raw circuitry of the Elektron Analog Four and Analog Rytm, “Poles” lays down the first foundation of Mircha V’s sonic journey. Four tracks of industrial groove and metallic tension, shifting between hypnotic pulses and relentless percussive drive. From the grinding pressure of Thronyx, through the mechanical swing of Tom Lock and the electrified edges of Ferrolux, to the fractured energy of Xonic Fault — this EP carves out a space where analog grit meets underground momentum.

"The Empire Line present six cyclonic episodes for confined spaces on their debut album, 'Rave.'

Comprised of Posh Isolation's Christian Stadgaard (Damien Dubrovnik, Vanity Productions), Jonas Rönnberg (Varg), and with Isak Hansen (Iron Sight) on tantrums, the trio's marauding live shows have been translated into a slippery set of pummelling techno works, watermarked with florid noise.

'Rave' is a celebration of contemporary rave culture, focused on the everlasting and transcendent as the night slips out past the day. With living-for-the-weekend hedonism irretrievably converted into a manicured, violent cliché, building new worlds and forging new modes of intimacy takes an exceptional sincerity. Naming some of the crews closest to The Empire Line in the album's titles, their spaces are examples of just how rave culture persists as a transgressive stronghold in people's lives.

Ranging from k-hole anthems to jacking, close-range sessions, 'Rave' still bears the traces of the group's experimental background, ensuring the tension is kept up through the catharsis."

Format: 2x12 / CD / Digital
Release Date: June 12, 2020

Pre-order: https://pielectronics.bandcamp.com/album/divide-rule-2

It has been two years since the first compilation on the Various Artists series (PEVA) of Pi Electronics and the concept has stayed true to its aim: to present a coherent selection of the label’s favourite collaborators from the roster and parties over the years. Bringing together Greek and international artists, this compilation opens with a 10 minute recording by the combined forces of Orphx and JK Flesh (Justin Broadrick), from a live performance recorded in Amsterdam. Meanwhile we also showcase the resurfacing of Vofa, the joint project of producers Sawf and ANFS. There is a variety of options in this 13 tracks release; from the raw and harsh textures of An-i and New Frames, to Lycurgus live drum set recordings, Kondaktor’s African percussive electronics and Sarin’s EBM infused techno. Some more techno interpretations, such as the hypnotic moods of Stave and Fragedis, or the more punchy sounds of Restive Plaggona and Poison Green. These shape the full picture of this second Pi Electronics compilation titled ‘Divide & Rule’.

Stave - Rack 10 [Premiere | PEVA03]

The basement was off limits, it had been for as long as her elders had owned the house. No questions were ever asked, its thick rusting bolts and chains issued enough of a message. But curiosity had become her; she'd taken to sitting by the door, ear pressed firmly on the wood listening intently. From the depths she thought she could make out heavy breathing and writhing limbs, an unknown living specimen chained below. Her fear was blinkered by a mounting desire to know what was beyond the door; she would find out, there would be no more secrets.

Having been a permanent fixture at Dekmantel festival for several years, in 2019 Dutch DJ and producer Identified Patient made something of a long-awaited debut on the festival's UFO label offshoot. Expanding on his signature style - a murky cocktail of industrial, electro, synth-rock and minimal wave - he now makes his return to the imprint with Nerve Deposit aided by his new toy, a GRP A4 synthesiser, which helps coerce the five tracks into new realms. Irregular dubstep rhythms sit alongside frenetic breakbeat and throbbing hardcore, signalling a new direction for the Pinkman regular, yet tonally he continues to linger in the shadows.
