PREMIERE • Milium - Lidl Darknet [Clear Memory]

https://www.juno.co.uk/products/magda-rot-soft-metallics-vinyl/953840-01/
Chilean artist Magda Rot makes a head-turning debut here with some ice-cold electro rhythms on the Return To Disorder label which is now fast approaching a quarter century of releases. There is no messing with these sounds - they're built on tight, kinetic rhythms with fierce sound designs and stark futurism. 'Triads' is a mix of crisp hits and gurgling synths with dramatic background chords. 'Black Sense' is a slamming cut with a twisted bassline and hammering drum funk and 'Coincidences' brings the chilliness with its frosted lines and cold waves of synth. 'Unusual Theory' shuts down with a far sighted sense of electro-techno doom.

Malfunction

Dual Drive

"new School" and built from the DNA of early IDM and new wave. The weapons of choice are what they have been from teh start semi-operational analog synthesizers, temperamental ,  Tr drum machines and scratchy recording gear all forced into the computer. The name  Lowfish came from the concept of using mostly low quality equipment, the result being a production sound that is low-fi- ish. Since 1995 Lowfish has released 4 full lenght CD's/ Lp's and a stack of 12" singles on labels including Suction, Ersatz Audio, Clone and Satamile. He's remixed for labels including Morr Music, Ghostly International and even the National Film board fo Canada and has released scores of trracks on compilations for respected labels in the UK, Germany, Belgium and the US.

exclusive | M.S. - Breakin' Doves | Rawax

With "Columbiformes EP", Rawax once again makes space for Matthias Schildger to channel his many musical personas into one cohesive yet versatile release. Known under aliases like Star_Dub, Binary Operator, Polyfan Polyphenix, CNTRL, or simply M.S., Schildger uses his decades of experience to deliver five tracks that balance minimal precision with atmospheric playfulness.

"Pigeon Swarm (Vinyl Edit)" sets the tone with stripped-back minimal energy that harks back to the golden days of the genre. Percussive and bouncy, its groove feels both light and infectious, while a deep synth-line quietly fills the background, giving the track the depth it needs to stay locked on the floor. It’s minimal music at its grooviest and most timeless.

"Columbiformes" shifts gears into something darker and heavier. Built around a wobbling synth-line and a massive, almost physical bassline, the track still keeps its stripped-back character, but its energy is undeniable. Playful in details yet menacing in presence, it’s the kind of cut that shackles dancers to the groove without offering much of a way out.

"Breakin’ Doves" opens the B-side with a deep and breakbeat-driven mood, carrying that late-night atmosphere Matthias crafts so well. A subtle sense of melancholy runs beneath the breaks and grooves, creating a track that feels like the soundtrack to a dancefloor lost in time - irresistible, driving, but wrapped in a kind of nocturnal haze.

"Bird Hypnotizm" rounds off the vinyl edition with trippy textures and atmospheric spirals. The track is playful yet entrancing, layering Matthias’ sound design into an environment that feels otherworldly but never loses its dancefloor focus. It’s hypnotic, subtle, and perfectly suited as a closer.

The digital-only track, "A Song For Feral Pigeons," is perhaps the EP’s secret weapon. Lean and minimal, but with a deep groove that keeps listeners moving, it’s a reminder of Matthias’ ability to create understated yet captivating pieces. Its combination of groove and texture makes it a fitting companion to the vinyl cuts and ensures the "Columbiformes EP" ends on a note that is as functional as it is thoughtful.

Altogether, "Columbiformes EP" is Matthias Schildger at his most versatile - merging minimal grooves, breakbeat flourishes, and atmospheric soundscapes into a release that feels both classic and forward-looking. It’s a record that honors minimal’s past while continuing to evolve it, much like the restless flight of the birds that inspired it.

Pleased to say the repress of BA050 will be hitting stores soon. The first in the Transhumanism series went down a storm and has been out of stock for ages. The original pressing was on orange vinyl. This time it’s on black with an orange sticker to match the second in the series and the 3rd which will be released in September.

There are no plans to sell this on Bandcamp. So check the decent stores out there - some taking preorders already.

Why are there not more electroclash tracks made these days, you ask yourself? 
Well ask no more because Lunatic Records have dropped a track which comes straight from the most scenesterist of scenes, nasty analogue vibes clash with a killer beat, those distant distorted vocals which allow for just enough disorientation on the dancefloor. 
The EP veers into the industrial techno realm which is fine by us! En Direct's first solo foray into production reminds us of DJ Hell, Tiga, Miss Kittin and all the other classic tracks from between 2001-05 without ever swaying into cliche or pastiche or any other of those French words which as simply a byword for 'Passe'. Lunatic Records 6th release truly is the number of the beast. Do your self a favour, don't be unwilling.

En Direct EP

PREMIERE | En Direct - Unwilling [Lunatic] 2018

There's a good bunch of intense, dark and extreme, grinding electro-techno gems on the "Raval Rave Breakers" first compilation. While Boris Divider's 'Collapsed Cluster' recalls of the more clinical approach of labels like Raster-Noton, Eel manages to deliver a fresh mix of styles on 'Sraight Edge', where Old Skool Breakbeat and EBM draw an unforgettable match made in heaven. Last track on the A side comes from Classicworks boss Neuhen, but is Patricia (Opal Tapes, Spectral Sound) who remixes it: in "Supress" we can find all the magic tricks of the NYC based producer: eery atmospheres, gently distorted drums and a warm feeling of cozyness. On the flip, RNXRX delivers "Aktion Intertia", one of the most psychedelic jams he's ever did: an industrial acid track as catchy as it can be. Oakland's "Heroine From The North" sounds a bit like when New Beat became faster and more agressive, being mixed with styles like EBM and trance.

B4 Drugs [No Vox]

Voices inside is a discovery within that begins with the vocals taking us from the now to the past and this stands true to the lyrics. This aptly named track moves from an 80’s synth-pop pad leading its way towards the emergence of an old school electro tom’s rolling its way to create the melody largely constructed synonymously with the drum programming that transcends its way to become a composition that grows into you before you know.

We are happy to welcome “@Notananimalrecords” label back again and this time with the English duo “Jamie Blanco & Chris stoker” aka “@Esso-Ess” releases their single-track EP which contains 2 versions (English & French) and 3 remixes from label boss Craig Richards himself, Backwoods and Pink language.
