[AREAZV003] Uncanny Valleys (Vol.II)

Aimed at showcasing more contemporary luminaries with industrial post-techno inclinations through its own channels, England-hailing Depth.Request records presents a second installment in its tumultuous Hostile Responses & Provocations series. The digital release, in vain of previous episode, offers six cuts that vary from contemplative, ritualistic explorations to direct-drive, four-to-the-floor juggernauts, forged by different artists spread across European continent who showcase distinctly separate approach towards production and are mostly new to the label.

Sparking off in a fashion one would expect from a composition that has a latin adjective suffix for a title, Zagam's Toriam demands a bit of listeners' cerebral investment to decipher the rhythmic narration, its scattered drum patterns eclipsed by alien baying, landscapes consisting of hemidemisemiquaver-long hats, softly shrilling outbursts of digital noise that vary in intensity as well as length, and a free-roam, expect-anything approach to structure.

Introduced with intensely throbbing ocean-floor rumbling high-passed punitively to lowest ranges, Metalogue continues with More as Dust, a track that soon explodes into full spectrum and reveals itself to be a hard-pounding, cybernetic breakbeat venture that allows less and less breathing space as it moves forward via tightening arrays of kicks accompanied with occasional intrusions of twisted, wobbling synths which outgain other elements by the means of sidechaining.

Ironically enough for a tune called Crawlspace, Swarm Intelligence tears away the torch of tension and resolutely dashes with it as if there's just no fucking tomorrow; comparatively, the effect of this relentless and unsparing 4/4 stomper draws a sensation of jumping from a simmering water into a raging furnace, its vicious drums paced at 140 BPM greeting the woofers head-on while the arcs of gritty droning and armies of condensing percs join the wave until an already busy visual representation of it resembles an impenetrable wall.

Ominous, suspenseful, and resonant of sound one would expect to find on a score to a handsomely budgeted techno-thriller, majority of Second Spectre's Smuggler is set in halftime tempo, corrosive bassline and eroded toms being its main stand-outs, with choral drones, sandy hats and tumbling low-range drums adding to the portrayal of a distinctly dystopian plot with doubtful prospects of a happy ending over the sunless horizon.

Aiming to oppress from second one, Hump Shunted's say-good-bye-to-your-face attitude is achieved through Rommek's scourging, offbeat thudding sidelined only by potent and ceaseless discharge of abrasive mid-to-low scale bass, atop which two distinct layers of panning and buzzing synths fight for dominance against troubled wails of polytonal siren, stretching across mournfully, presumably in lamentation of the record's imminent end.

In what is Nigh/T\mare's culminative piece, voices from the dark, obscured and foreshadowing, pave a pathway towards Armagheddon's ruthless, apocalyptic kicks that strike indiscriminately and stochastically; devastating the scenery in manner of four horsemen, they are accompanied by trailing aftershocks, occasional howls, fragmented whispers and enshrouding layers of imperial ambiance instilling a sense of despondency first, and soon after that, doom.

Sacrifice is the integral part of life; it accompanies each act. When we choose a particular act among thousands of others, we sacrifice all the alternatives. 

Sometimes we come up against something impassable, and this sacrifice can be infinitely greater. Even our inner self could be sacrificed in order to give birth to something that can exist in its place; exist in this new space, in all its plenitude.

"7 Deaths" reveals the state of the consciousness after this series of sacrifices; it shows how we realize our new inner self; how we stand in a place where we take farewell of all that is old as if it were a life that is over.

FLUX notes:

Noise injections, entangled and syncopated distorted rhythms, industrial layers, cinematic atmospheres and apocalyptic synthetic patterns are elements characterizing Consistency Of a Surface by Nemrac (@nemrac-official), which we premiere today. The song is included in his upcoming release Driving Tension, which will be released by Monolith Records (@monolith-records) on 24th February. 

Nemrac is already known for his work with Syncretism Records (@syncretismrecords), with which he’s released sharp and uncommon releases, starting from the compilation series Sonic Textures, which has hosted artists such as Crystal Geometry, Swarm Intelligence, Ryuji Takeuchi, Hypnoskull, Jackpoint Zeroes, Isabassi & Cocktail Party Effect and Nemrac himself. 

This new release fully reflects the spirit of Monolith Records, always refusing the standards of this kind of music, succeeding in doing it again.

PREMIERE: Lesser Of ft. The Punished Suicides - Ache (Christina Sealey Remix)[RVK26]

Black Sun Records returns with a monster collaboration from Unhuman & Surit. Unhuman is best known for his contributions on labels such as Instruments Of Discipline, Liber Null & Veleno Viola among many others, his sound running the gamut between noise, power-electronics, EBM & techno; Surit is better known as one half of NX1, recently releasing some solo remixes on his own Nexe Records label and on some others. Together they deliver a powerful 4 track EP, opening with “Moral Poverty”, a perfect driving track with fat bass, metal percussion and layered pads that trap you from the very beginning; next is “Surrender”, a twisted break-cut full of character, complex yet effective, a mind-warping, beautiful journey. Turning to the B-side, the track that gives name to the EP “Impact Bashing”, delivers pure, raw, industrial- techno, oppressive, incisive & brutal. “Precipitated Paranoia”, closes the record, a higher bpm techno cut, defined by the power of the drums and held in tension by jittering, nervous synths.

Date release: Nov / 2018

Nixon Helix - I Will Not Be Owned

Artist: Ah Cama Sotz
Title: Premonition
Álbum: "Uncanny Valleys Vol. II" 
Label: Area Z
Format: Digital + Textile print (flag)
Release: December 03th, 2020

This second opus focuses on ‘Industrial’ music through a variety of genres and interpretations of the genres aesthetics. Opening with an infused four to the floor selection cut with a slice of power ambient, the compilation evolves into a rawer shape, with industrial, noise that embraces either nihilistic or romantic intentions.

Taking a look at music that is influenced by a genre, created in the times where the concept was created, helps us to grasp the links between the theory and music, both inspired by the development of technologies and its influences on both personal and societal aspects.

Every purchase comes with a .pdf file with the reasoning behind the volume and artists bios.

During his career Ah Cama-Sotz has carved a niche for himself as one of the darkest industrial acts around. His music is steeped in a multitude of mythology, occultism and bloody history, which lend a context and significance to the individual works that is noticeably absent from a lot of contemporary industrial / noise music. The past 26 years (1993 - present) have seen the Ah Cama-Sotz sound progress from cold, minimalist electronics through to dark ambient soundscapes and pounding techno floor-fillers.

Ah Cama Sotz - Premonition [Area Z]

Premiere: La serie recopilatoria “Uncanny Valleys” está relacionada con la teoría introducida por el robotista japonés Mori Masahiro en 1970, refiriéndose a la percepción paradójica de las similitudes existentes entre robots y seres humanos.

Esta segunda obra se centra en la música "industrial" a través de una variedad de géneros e interpretaciones de la estética de los mismos. Abriéndose con una selección de cuatro infundidas en la pista, cortada con una porción de power ambient, la compilación evoluciona hacia una forma más cruda, con noise industrial que abarca intenciones nihilistas o románticas.

Echar un vistazo a la música que está influenciada por un género, creada en los tiempos en que se creó el concepto, nos ayuda a comprender los vínculos entre la teoría y la música, ambos inspirados por el desarrollo de las tecnologías y sus influencias tanto en los aspectos personales como sociales.
