Swiss born, Amsterdam resident, The Midnight Tantrum, debuts on the Ransom Note Records sub-label, Insult To Injury, with five Analogue-Techno slices of pure heaven. We first discovered TMT at ECHOBOX Radio in Amsterdam, where label boss Timothy Clerkin presents ITI Radio and TMT, aka Patou, has his own fantastic label show, Dee Dee’s Picks.

Easing us in with a slow, atmospheric intro, Thailandish Macarena throbs forever forwards, picking up pace & density with distorted kick drums under long, held bass notes and groove-laden synth lines. A big statement to begin proceedings with.

Unshaken Polaroid kicks things up a gear with mechanical rhythms, dystopian vocal edits and atonal synthesis - industrial Electro at it’s very finest. Continuing the industrial vibe, Big Sky Says Bye, drops like an anvil. Overdriven kick & bass vie for our attention, as we’re assaulted by synth explosions and dissonant atmospheres.

Lead single from the EP, Oranje Ant Steak, comes at us hard from the outset with a gigantic kick drum and rolling breakbeat before cleverly morphing into a Balearic techno track, replete with flutes and Spanish guitar! A multipurpose tool that’d be equally at home on the beach and at the basement rave. A Dolphin’s Third Hole round off the EP with some interstellar arpeggios, underpinned by and intense, rolling rhythm section.

New York City based Further Reductions is the live project from husband and wife Shawn (aka Vapauteen, 400ppm, Let Er Est) and Katie O'Sullivan (aka Rose E Kross, ppG). Back in 2014 they released their gorgeous debut album on Cititrax records. The album was an adventurous trip, where they pushed forward a unique sound. After all those years there will be a follow up to this EP on Knekelhuis. Expect a fusion of different sounds, grimy and pretty at the same time.

KH011 - Further Reductions - Disparate Elements EP [preview]

Following his return with 12”s on Vakant and Boddika’s Nonplus throughout 2017, Avatism lands on Parachute with 4 ‘90s-inspired emo-trance breakbeat summertime anthems for people who despise summer. 

Vinyl comes with a digital download featuring a track we couldn’t fit on the record because we are not good with maths.

An expressive electronic album with the kind of positive, stirring resolve that leaves you feeling utterly comforted, Bjarki’s new album ‘Happy Earthday’ is influenced by his home country Iceland as well as environmental issues.

Having released bodies of work on трип and his own label bbbbbb, Bjarki views ‘Happy Earthday’ as his proper debut album; he feels it’s a more coherent and conceptual body of work that finds him offering up music he never thought he would release. The album contains very personal material written over the last decade during fragile moments of introspection. Says Bjarki on the album: “You can consider this album as a window into my head and even my soul. It reflects my thoughts at the time I made this music. For me it is a bit odd, sharing it like this with the world. As a very private person I am not used to open my door so completely, it can be a little scary for me. What if … I tend to think, expecting all kinds of everything.

Releasing this album is also a kind of a farewell to music I made in a certain period in my life. It’s like I’m saying farewell to a grown-up child which is now ready to leave.

When facing the world, the music undergoes many changes from my point of view. It becomes global, ceased to be obeyed by my thoughts. Now it’s yours, the folks that listens, thinks, speculates about it, consumes and develops a private opinion. Not one, or two, but many, even thousands. And your opinion is equally as ‘right’ as mine, or maybe more.

That’s how art is. When published, the understanding or opinion is even more of the consumers than the artist. He has lost his control over it and for me that is the scary part. Again, what if …

My music is under a heave influence from my inheritance as an Icelander, my upbringing, my family, surroundings and of course the music and artists I have listened to all my life. That’s how things are.

Maybe you can feel the melancholy of my life, the nature overall. Volcanos and the lava flowing down the slopes, the frightening noise of the ocean beating the land, the strong wind in the mountain passes and a glimpse of the first ray of the rising sun over the glacier. Now that is the dawn of a new day.”
