Eomac / Lakker

As part of Lakker alongside production partner Dara Smith, Ian McDonnell has been exploring various forms of music for the best part of a decade, with the Dublin-based pair becoming an increasingly prominent name in techno circles over the past few years. It was perhaps their 2011 Killekill debut Spider Silk where Lakker's heavily atmospheric, dark and broken brand of techno really began to crystallise, and the pair have subsequently gone on to grace the likes of Stroboscopic Artefacts, Blueprint, Candela Rising and most recently R&S Records.

Away from Lakker, McDonnell has also been devoting time to building up a solid discography under the solo guise, with several high-profile releases over the past year for The Trilogy Tapes, Code Is Law, and the Candela Rising and Killekill labels he clearly has a strong working relationship with. Indeed, the latter Berlin-based label seem very pleased to be releasing Spectre, McDonnell's debut album proper as Eomac next month. To toast its impending arrival, McDonnell agreed to mix up a selection of tracks for our podcast series which begins and ends with Lakker cuts and crams in material from his forthcoming Eomac album alongside material from Streetwalker, Evian Christ, Actress, JT '$tinkworkz' Stewart, Voices From The Lake and more.

Fresh from a launch party for Lakker's R&S debut Containing A Thousand, McDonnell was kind enough to answer some questions about the forthcoming Eomac album, his various current and forthcoming projects and dealing with celebrity fans. You can read that here: http://bit.ly/QeRPj1

After his album release on Berlin’s Killekill very recently and subsequent EP for Stroboscopic Artefacts, Ian McDonnell is a very busy man. Having being requested to play at Boiler Room in July with Function, Henning Baer, Cassegrain and Born In Flamez, Eomac is also one half of duo Lakker. He continues to consistently impress with an obscure and abstract take on techno that landed a huge track named “Spoock” in 2013. The Exclusive mix journeys through weird electronic soundscapes to industrial techno and beyond, tracks by Positive Centre, Mondkopf, Talker, Dronelock, AnD, James Ruskin, Stanislav Tolkachev, Caustic Window and more…

SAIGG - MIX26

Binary Algorithms, Robert Cosmic, /DL/MS/, jadzia, and Saigg – five indispensable protagonists of a new electro VA series — plug back into the wilderness. In line with its FTA_VA02 — Building Bridges, Breaking Walls — statement, Furatena unveils a new compilation series that reinforces cross-scene collaboration and brings the label back to its roots: futuristic, yet dancefloor–focused electro break–beats.

AX/{v1} opens with the most remarkable and long-awaited unreleased track by Binary Algorithms: "En Mi Barrio" showcases pulsating acidic basslines, metallic, hard-hitting snares, arpeggiated synth shots, and — as a final flourish — Robert Cosmic’s tell-tale vocal delivery crowns it all, shaping a massive, classic electro hymn. Next up, Furatena welcomes Vienna based Trust-affiliated duo /DL/MS/: "Regressive Behaviour" introduces an intricate sound design, textured basslines and crescendos of noise in constant tension that carve through hammering 808s and chrome-laced, blurred vocals.

The second half is followed by jadzia, who returns after three years with "Hybrid State," a 140 BPM heater: glitched, synthesized percussion trace a razor-edged bassline, while a cracking, driving kick and grainy pads descend into obscure, psychedelic electro. Closing the four-tracker, Furatena’s associate Saigg signs off with his very own signature — "Gladiator" delivers bass-driven pulses and bubbling tones that slice through reverberant atmospheres and veiled melodies, dissolving into a shadow-drenched sonic field.

Colombian imprint Furatena return with 'AX-V1', a razor-sharp various artists dispatch aimed straight at the post-industrial underbelly of the club...Our pick lands on /DL/MS/’s ‘Regressive Behaviour’, a piece of sonic brinkmanship clocking in at a neurotic 146 BPM. The track kicks off like an alarm from another planet, a strobe-lit march of arpeggiated distress signals and saturated low-end mechanics. FX-smeared synths squeal through the mix like panic-stricken comms in deep space, while its haunted textures hang like ozone in a malfunctioning cryochamber.

PREMIERE : Unklevon - Aliens In Detroit

● As our sixth release, we are extremely excited to present a release from Italian producer Golden Virgo with stunning remixes from the familiar 6SISS and X-Truder.

Unlogix is a sonic journey into the depths of an imaginary aquatic landscape, built through dark textures and complex architectures of modular synthesis. The EP explores the dialogue between the organic and the synthetic, using exclusively analog gear to generate hypnotic rhythmic patterns, liquid environments, and submerged harmonies. Each track unfolds like an autonomous yet interconnected current, evoking underwater ecosystems, abyssal frequencies, and fluid movements that defy linear logic.
The result is a dense and layered sonic narrative, where sound becomes living matter in constant transformation.

𝙋𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙞𝙚𝙧𝙚 : Golden Virgo - Nebula Navis [Strange But Dance Music]

The sound of rebellion. The return of chaos. Lambratech proudly presents NEON ONI, a 25-track compilation of cutting-edge electro from international artists, each summoned to awaken the sonic demons beneath the surface.

In a world where algorithms dictate taste and uniformity dominates the dancefloor, NEON ONI emerges as a glitch in the system — a call to arms for those who still believe in raw frequencies, distorted machines, and emotional voltage. Born from the depths of a cybernetic underworld, our Oni rise from tangled cables and neon-lit shadows to fight back against the tyranny of sonic standardization.

This V/A release is not just a compilation — it’s an uprising. Expect machine-funk, cyber basslines, haunted grooves, and relentless drum programming. From classic electro purists to experimental iconoclasts, every artist contributes a strike in the war for musical soul.

Plug in. Drop out.

KILLEKILL PODCAST #11: LAKKER

INTERVIEW + TRACKLIST > www.inverted-audio.com/lakker

Ian McDonnell and Dara Smith are Lakker. They're based in Dublin and have been producing together for the past decade. After releasing their debut album 'Ruido' in 2007 it wasn't until 2011 when they released their follow up record 'Spider Silk' on the Berlin based label Killekill. 'Spider Silk' helped open them up to Berlin's thriving techno scene as well as James Ruskins highly revered Blueprint imprint and Love Love Records.

Following their remix of Dadub's track 'Path'on Stroboscopic Artefacts', Lakker now return to the label with 'Monad XIV' for their first full release on Stroboscopic Artfacts. We caught up with Ian and Dara ahead of the release of 'Monad XIV' and discuss their new record as well as becoming part of the Stroboscopic Artefacts' crew. We also look back at their musical heritage, influences and their most poignant moments to date.
