The funky bulldozer of techno (as some like to call him) created three tracks especially for our tenth birthday: bass-heavy, cold and groovy, minimal and funky at the same time: thank you Myk!

A - Suburban Depth
B1 – Route Network
B2 – 21 Floor

Junodownload Review: Myk Derill has been releasing music on Knotweed for a decade, and Suburban Depth sees him showcase his creativity once again. The title track is a low-slung affair, with Derill dropping lead-weight kicks and snappy percussion to create a distinctive, hypnotic track. In stark contrast is "Route Network", where the Knotweed staple drops a gritty, visceral groove that resounds to firing hi hats and noisy, analogue riffs. Derill makes another radical shift in direction on "21 Floor"; featuring deep chords and mysterious vocals combined with dubbed out drums, it is similar to the type of deep house you'd hear on a Detroit label like Sistrum.

Brendon Moeller, also known as the echologist, is a key figure in the techno scene we love. He has been distilling his trippy spaced out repetitive dub beats on many iconic labels for many years. A friend of the Knotweed family since the start, Brendon created this four tracker especially for us, developing further his own vision of techno, while respecting the aesthetic of the label. Thank you so much Brendon for your support throughout the years, long live the echologist!

A1 - Knot Safe
A2 - Dub Knot
B1 – Knot Twist
B2 – Double Knot

Junodownload Review: As part of Knotweed's ten-year celebrations, Echologist aka Brendon Moeller delivers a dynamic dub techno workout. "Knot Safe" revolves around mesmerising chords that swirl and sway over a stepping, metallic rhythm, while on "Dub Knot", Moeller goes into a more abstract direction, with glitchy percussion underpinning warped samples and reverberating effects. "Knot Twist" sees the veteran producer push farther in this experimental direction, as brooding tones and muffled vocals conjure up a hypnotic soundscape, while on "Double Knot", he makes a return of sorts to the dance floor, as doubled up beats and a broken rhythm support layer upon layer of hypnotic tones.

Knotweed 046 Salt & Pepper E.P.

KW046 - echologist - Salt and Pepper E.P.

Lee Holman is back on Knotweed with a record created like a movie score that would fit perfectly for a John Carpenter movie. Techno yet acid, Minimalistic yet tribal, ambient yet sci-fi, Lee's machines circuitry were used in heavy quantity to develop this piece of music. 

Starting with 'Advanced Technology', Lee takes us to a trip in space. His spaceship is ready to go towards unknown territory. It takes off from Earth towards a far away planet. Maybe Mars, Saturn or even further in another solar system. Menacing synths accompany the heavy drums, helping us navigating into space. The trip is intense, meeting many fields of gamma rays, but thanks to its advanced technology, the ship lands to its destination. 

Having landed on what feels like a friendly planet at first, the crew is in awe with what they find and start its exploration, full of hope. ‘Terraforming', with its ambient-like lush intriguing synths drives us through a new environment. We are not sure what we have found, but for now it seems we came in contact with a peaceful world. That is until the track comes to its end, when nerve wrecking repetitive bleeps warning us on what is to come. 

'Cybernetic Revolt'. Something has gone terribly wrong. How long have we been there? Long enough for something to go awry. Maybe the discovery of unfriendly extraterrestrial life, no-one knows. Decisions need to be made, A repetitive drumbeat gathers the troops. Earth needs to be warned. Navigating through fields of meteorites, heavy acid driven synth lines indicate that we are leaving this newly discovered world we have so much hope in. The tension grows and grows. We are at war with unknown entities. 

'The Warp'. It's up to the listener to decide what really happened. Did the spaceship make it back to Earth? Did the crew survive? Where are we now? Many questions are left unanswered. The atmosphere developed in this piece of music seems to indicate a positive outcome, but you do not really know. The crew is hiding something, they want to survive hence keep a secret from their fellow earthlings that might prove devastating. The more the track develops, the darker it gets.

Junododownload review: Robert Kavanagh aka Mode_1 serves up his fourth release on Knotweed with an inspired EP that is sure to appeal to Detroit techno lovers. Coming across like a more club-focused version of Terrence Dixon, these four tracks are punctuated by eerie textures and stripped back yet insistent rhythms. "Unheard" features chiming bells and a rolling groove, while "Reactor" sees Mode_1 drop a more hypnotic take on this approach, with tight, nagging percussion supporting waves of discordant sound. On "Missing Cable", the sound is deeper, as layered sounds unravel over a bubbling backing, while as its title suggests, "Cascade" features the sound of water trickling over a pared back but insistent rhythm.

Juno Records Review:

"The ever-prolific Brendon Moeller returns with a third EP for Knotweed under his Echologist alias, treading the line between glitchy minimal, propulsive techno and dubwise immersion with flair and poise. There are some powerful, deeply submerged kicks to be enjoyed on 'Activation', but they're not just deployed as standard. On 'Concentrate' they might be more prominent, but still there's a sense of confident restraint in which Moeller can create captivating energy and a full-frequency experience without resorting to obvious tactics. For those who favour something a little more stimulating and subtle from their techno experience, this EP has everything you need."

KW054 - Philippe Petit - Remember

This afternoon Monday 5 September 2023, I recorded a mix with Knotweed vinyl releases that came out since we celebrated our label tenth anniversary in Autumn 2021.

A single track of each release is played one after the other, in chronological order, from KW044 (echologist) to KW054 (Philippe Petit). The mix finishes with a track from the latest release from our sister label DMT025.

Almost one hour of Real Techno!

You can find all these releases in vinyl format in quite a few vinyl stores, including:

* on our Bandcamp page 
(https://philippepetit.bandcamp.com/merch)

(there is currently a deal going on on our Bandcamp page where you can buy 7 vinyl for 50 EUR: get on it!!!)

* at our distributor Deejay.de (https://www.deejay.de/KNOTWEED_RECORDS__L20989)

* at Hardwax
(https://hardwax.com/label/knotweed/)

and also at other vinyl outlets!

Thank you all for your support throughout the years!

Knotweed Podcast 33 - Only Knotweed

Above and Green: two tracks originally released in 2011 (on KW001)  and 2012 (on KW003) respectively. 

They stand the test of time but needed a little bpm push to be more easily played by the speed freaks out there...

Leghau joins the Knotweed family with an expertly crafted E.P., where less is more.

Intricate drum patterns coupled with tribal toms, space-oriented repetitive synths, additional subtle changing background noises, and finally dreamy violins appearing out of nowhere: all these elements mixed together bring a special dream-like feeling to the listener.

A record that will make you travel far away in space.

Knotweed 025 Criticism E.P.

KW025 - Leghau - Criticism E.P.

Gonzalo Medina hails from Buenos Aires. After a few releases on Knotweed and Ressort Imprint as well as an appearance on DMT 004, he deliver 3 fierce techno tracks on DMT.

Arsat is the first Argentinian telecom satellite launched into orbit. ARSAT gets the rocket ready to ignition: a repeated stabs loop manages the take-off with success. On remix duties, up-and-coming Argentinian talent Julixo delivers a jacking Chicago-style interpretation of ARSAT. With BELTRAN, the rocket starts its launch into space: although fast paced, the track brings some harmonious dubby elements and nice violins in the mix to calm down the expecting crowd: it's all going to be OK. FORMULA ends the E.P. like a celebration of the satellite's geostationnary slot: a hard hitting, percussion driven, techno track where the stabs penetrate deep under your skin.

Not for the faint hearted!

Junodownload review:
There's a serious message running through the latest release on Decision Making Theory. The work of label owner Philippe Petit, it states that humanity is witnessing 'a meltdown' and that we will be left to deal with the aftermath. By way of a soundtrack, there's the knotted, acid-heavy "Causes", while the title track is a heads-down, relentless affair that just keeps on building. Thankfully though, it's not all bad news; closing track "Consequences" offers some solace. Despite cruises along at 130bpm, its layered, building chords and scatter gun percussion create a euphoric Detroit-style finale to this socially aware EP.

Stephanie Sykes: really love it!
Arnaud le Texier: great E.P.
Dan Curtin: love this E.P.
Claude Young: great E.P.
Marco Lenzi: excellent
Elad Magdasi: nice E.P., summer vibes
Brendon Moeller: great work
Rolando: I am really liking 'Consequences'

Long time Knotweed and DMT supporter Mattias Fridlell approached us with some tracks he recently produced with his friend Alexander Johansson.
