Our behavior is shaped at its core by two main drives - to escape pain and to seek pleasure.

Every recollection in memory contains them,
and intentionally or unconsciously our decisions are dictated by them, conditioned by whether we expect more pain or pleasure,
at the end of any particular action.

The range between the pain and pleasure maxima experienced plays a huge role in how we are made up of beings and what we have painful or pleasurable associations with plays an important role
in shaping any aspect of our individuality.

Although we avoid pain, if it is the price paid for pleasure and does not exceed the desired result in its strength, we are ready to go through this pain and sometimes even love it as a presage of pleasure...

Sounds From NoWhere is pleased to premiere a new MÆDON' gem on 'GLANZ + ELEND'.
We are absolutely thrilled showcasing 16 unique and exceptional tracks at this charity compilation. 

At the heart of this initiative is a collaboration with FEMENA, an organization founded by Sussan Tahmasebi, dedicated to supporting women human rights defenders (WHRDs) and feminist movements in the challenging socio-political landscape of the MENA and Asia regions. 

This collaboration seeks to make a positive impact through the universal language of music, amplifying the voices of those facing restrictions in Iran.
Given the challenges and restrictions on direct financial support in Iran, this partnership aims to provide much-needed aid via FEMENA. 

In the spirit of unity and freedom: 
No woman is free until all woman are free. 
No human is free until all humans are free.

Premiere: MÆDON - Unnecessary Government [GLANZ + ELEND]

Recoilprodukt, a pioneering recording studio/label that first emerged in 1984 with its defiantly iconic recordings for Psyche, F451, and Vanishing Heat, is returning with an initial release that fittingly resurrects its imprint.

Titled „Catalyst,“ this two-track EP is the first instalment of a haunting scifi narrative series. A deep dive into dark-world building.

On side two, listeners are hurled into the reimagined mix of the same track in a hard, intelligent techno meets industrial noise rework, skillfully crafted by Blush Response and stereo mastered at Dadub.

recoilprodukt‘s „Catalyst“ EP is a long-awaited return to the music scene, combining its deep history with a fresh, innovative sound. Releasing on January 24, 2024.

MUTANT MODALITY vol​​​.​​ 2

A True Terror Corporation - Perseverance [Mutant Modality]

LIIneas - Fieber 05

OMEN Recordings is proud to present its latest Various Artists (VA) compilation, 'Rituals,' an evocative collection that delves deep into the primal, the hypnotic, and the uncanny. This release promises to take listeners on a journey through the diverse landscapes of modern techno, each track an offering to the ritualistic essence of the dance floor. Featuring six exceptional artists, each with a distinct sonic identity, 'Rituals' is a testament to the label's commitment to pushing boundaries and exploring the depths of electronic music.

'Kopfschmerzen' by INCREASED CONTROL opens the compilation with its robotic, razor-like synths and twisted drum patterns, this track is a sonic assault, challenging the listener with its intensity. It's a dark, industrial soundscape that evokes images of dystopian futures and relentless machinery.

'Far Cry' by FAIRGROUND OF TEARS continues with an immersive soundscape that is both hypnotic and atmospheric. This track is a ceremonial invocation, weaving layers of ethereal pads with a pulsating undercurrent that transports the listener into a trance-like state. Its ritualistic vibe sets the tone for the auditory journey that follows.

Next, ADAREN's 'Kill The Scene' shifts gears with a driving pace that propels the compilation forward. This track is a relentless techno anthem, marked by its pounding bassline and intricate percussive elements. The energy is palpable, designed to dominate the dance floor and incite movement, capturing the raw, unyielding spirit of the underground.

'Zeal' by RHYTHM MODULATION takes the listener into a realm of eerie dissonance. The track is characterized by its creepy, discordant elements, weaving a web of tension and suspense. It's a masterclass in atmosphere, building an unsettling yet captivating aura that grips the listener from start to finish.

JANA GREENSTONE's 'Ascension' brings a unique twist to the compilation with its offbeat rhythm and unconventional structure. The track's intricate layers and unexpected turns create a sense of ascension and elevation, as if rising above the physical plane into a higher state of consciousness. It's a cerebral experience that invites introspection and deeper listening.

Closing the compilation, RYNZLER's 'Alea Iacta Est' is a powerful statement of intent. This drone-heavy, buzzy techno track is both imposing and meditative, blending dense textures with a steady, hypnotic rhythm. The title, meaning 'The die is cast,' signifies a point of no return, encapsulating the decisive and transformative nature of the entire compilation.

'Rituals' is a profound exploration of the varied expressions within techno, each track contributing to a cohesive narrative that is as introspective as it is dance-inducing. Omen Recordings continues to champion innovative and boundary-pushing music, solidifying its place at the forefront of the techno scene. This release is a must-have for those seeking to experience the deeper, darker, and more mystical facets of electronic music.

RITUAL​​​Ø​​​9

RYNZLER - Alea Iacta Est

Mashup of the songs Loud Pack and Unload the Klip

Loud Pack x Unload the Klip- Muerte x Stoned Level x Kliptic (NoFace Mashup)

A raw, mechanical heartbeat — like a heart under overload. Pulse is a surge of pure energy, where heavy, metallic kicks hit like hammers on steel. The tempo races, the bass growls, and every drop shakes the tension of an underground rave on fire.
Between trance and rage, Pulse captures that moment when the body stops thinking — it simply responds to the rhythm.
