Ole Mic Odd aka Michael Padgett is an exemplary specimen of the “New American Electro” which Kraftjerkz champions. Distorted drums, dark pads and sinister vocoder make him a remarkable LA producer. Robotronix combines the heavy American electrofunk rhythms of classic LA, Detroit, and Miami with menacing post-punk melody. Includes turntablist-friendly Detroit style remix by label boss, Kid Ginseng. At 067, Kraftjerkz could be America’s answer to Bunker. Let the DJs decide.

Kri Records strike back with a cassette compilation under an appropriate name: Trust the Rust! Rust dealers come from all over the globe. 

Nasty electro cuts are served by LA-based Ole Mic Odd who has released on labels such as Zement, Italian producer and the mighty Gravitational Waves owner DJ Nephil, British veteran Chupacabras with seals of approval on L.I.E.S. among others, and our Russian friend Larionov, who regularly puts out bangers for Rotterdam Electronix. 

The Electro part of the compilation is rounded by the local Ljubljana legend operating as a DJ and Honest Work label owner, 198319831983. EBM-ish march is saluted by Black Dot, the duo of Christian Kroupa and Le Chocolat Noir, soon releasing music on Mechatronica and responsible for our first release. Christian has also joined forces with the Dallas and Science Cult native Aura Nox. NYC and wave EBM bangers are represented by R Gamble, Spinal is an up-and-coming producer from Chile having released a great EP on Pildoras Tapes, while Bianco Negativo is an Italian duo behind one of our fav labels, Marguerite Records. 

10 tracks exploring the dark corners of Kri Records are available on a super cute cassette or digitally via Bandcamp.

PREMIERE • 198319831983 - Long Distance Transportation [KRI Records] ]

He sped down the freeway, the wild west on all four sides. The heat was blazing down upon no mans land from up above as he drove ever faster into the setting sun.

In the distance he could see the horizon, the end was in sight. Was he being entirely reasonable? Were his intentions pure?

Probably not. But as the car whizzed towards the cliff edge like some sort of extra from Thelma and Lousie, he cared little but for his decisions.

Touch Sensitive are set to release a record from Autumns, who once again channels leftfield experimentation into a bass tinged new album for the label.

PREMIERE: Autumns - Purely Reasonable [Touch Sensitive]

Today, we present the new release on Marguerite's catalogue, by Harlem Electronics. CAGEY is a punchy cocktail of sly bass hooks, raw machine grooves, and found sounds, all tied together by vocals that shape-shift from staccato statements to haunted murmurs and back again. Featuring six tracks including a remix by Colombian producer Filmmaker. The opener Cagey is one that we premiere today; Cagey sets the tone with an elastic, Liaisons Dangereuses-esque bassline coiling around its tail and a propulsive electro beat juxtaposed with the track's cadenced vocals. 

Tracklist:

1. Cagey
	
2. Blynde 
	
3. Lawn Preacher
	
4. Coast to Coast
	
5. Slovak Casinos 
	
6. Slovak Casinos (Filmmaker Remix)

Premiere: Harlem Electronics - Cagey (Marguerite)

From the deep confines of the universe, we receive emissions of HC Records’ 21st release - Those Dark Whims by UHF, the production duo and Gladio Operations label heads José Castillo and David Aragón. An exciting digital LP from which a selection of tracks have been extracted for vinyl along with remixes by two label regulars, Estrato Aurora and The Lost Boys.

Skynet Was Shy opens both the LP and the vinyl, a hypnotic starting point in which the most vibrant and crystalline electro fuses with acid sequences to generate a state of pure trance, complimented and driven by spiralling sequences and mantra-like vocals. The second track on the LP and A2 on the vinyl is The Lost Boys' remix of Skynet Was Shy. A rough and sharp reinterpretation where the use of 303 sequences continues but focuses on more of a physical than a mental dance.

Hanging Baskets reactivates the state of infinite mental suspension that underlies this powerful and bold composition with deft and minimalistic use of elements: sharp broken rhythms, a dense melodic environment but with occasional moments of pure light and a new vocal message that ignites in our minds.

The B-side kicks off with Estrato Aurora's remix of Day Dream, which as usual in the work of the acclaimed Valencian producer, extends the original version to 8 minutes, giving it an unusual emotionality created by an amalgam of sound textures that interweave multiple pads, mutant melodies and pulsating percussion. Closing the vinyl, UHF's machines join forces with the lyrics of another electro heavyweight in Protestas En Las Redes Feat. Dark Vektor, a combative discourse in which the powerful and robotic vocal message of the Terrassan producer ascend alongside the futuristic melodies, extra-dimensional violins, spatial arpeggios, and metallic rhythms of the Madrid duo.

Five bonus tracks complete the UHF experience, starting with the title track, Those Dark Whims, a perfect blend of funk bass lines, helical synthesisers sequencing sonic chains of acid trance and legendary vocal samples.

The original version of Day Dream, is perhaps the LPs deepest and most emotional track. Low bpms, a rapturous rhythm that alternates syncopated passages with a commanding 4x4 and an atmosphere reminiscent of film noir soundtracks.

Lowering our heartbeat even more to a chill out state, Space Marmalade is served to us rich and tasty on a slice of toast, all sweetness with a purple and phosphorescent touch in this extra-terrestrial downtempo composition. We wake up from the space dream to embrace the emotions created by Tales Of Saigon, Belgian-flavoured Techno that reminds us of early 90s compositions with renewed sound aesthetics that we could imagine moving to on the dance floor of the mythical Boccaccio Life. A wink to the 1979 classic, The Warriors, directed by Walter Hill leads us into Baseball Furies, a playful, nocturnal, and hyper-muscular slice of electro. Thick drums, bouncy bass, fx and dark pads unify mystery and rogue dance.

On Tuesday 30/04/24 the LP will be presented live at Killing Time, the physical headquarters of the label located in Valencia. Following an interview conducted by HC label boss David Verdeguer, the duo will be DJing along with two of the vinyl’s guest remixers, Estrato Aurora and The Lost Boys.

Back on CE, he brings a metallic sound to his punchy and rugged tracks "ASCII TWINS" and "PERMANENCY".

SameSame is back with the second release of the Exclusive Series.
Two tracks that leave nothing to be desired.
In typical SameSame fashion, the A-side is a classic dancefloor track. Minimalist drums and a sophisticated bassline paired with pad-heavy synthesizer sounds create the vibe.
If you're into breakbeat, you can't ignore the B-side. The arrangement clearly invites you to dance. 909-heavy hi-hats and an energetic bass speak their own language.

The enigmatic @cem3340cem3340 returns with his third LP. 
it’s also the third outing on his very own @curtiselectronix , following a strong release from DJ Overdose himself.
On the A side things kick off and go straight to the point with four highly sharped hard hitting jams, cut with the usual deadly precision.
Firing snares and rusty 808 kick drums with a persistent old school feel;
On the B side things morph and get more evocative with three classic-influenced electro bangers.
No more words needed. Just drop the needle. This is Suburbs Disorder.
