The Spy is on a mission for the 8th Kri release and it ends with a bang. Similar to Wessel's releases on Mechatronica and Osare! Editions, his signature sound keeps evolving by melting electro, EBM and wave into a hypnotising dystopian soundtrack.

His Kri debut is named Halt and Hack and it ranges from melancholic EBM-ish slow burners to mutated wave-meets-electro anthems, rounded with a nostalgic remix by the mighty Zement operator Kluentah.

Available as limited lathe-cut vinyl and digitally on 17th of May 2024.

KRI008 The Spy - Halt and Hack EP (snippets)

Marguerite Records proudly welcomes Northern Europe's machine funk masters, @harlemelectronics, as the 17th label output.

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 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. Blynde amps up the hypnotic feel a notch by throwing a momentum-building bass, snatches of words from the experimental film Anti-Clock, and detached vocals into the blender. The result is street electro evoking a secret discotheque in Rimini in 1985, overtaken by disaffected mutants. Ending the A-side is the slow burner Lawn Preacher, which builds cinematic tension with a synth hook straight from the depths of Ralf Hütter's subconscious. The sly hip-wrecker Coast to Coast kicks off the B-side by setting the tempo to a syrup-laced new beat pulse. This is the soundtrack for a car cruising along the outer reaches of a tropical beach at night. Next, Slovak Casinos picks up the pace with funky techno at its dirtiest. The track's coy vocals beckon the listener to enter a dizzying gambling world of random numbers, slot machines gone kaput, and card counters losing track. On the record’s final track, Colombian beat wizard @flmmkr kicks the gears into turbo drive on his demented speed-addicted remix of Slovak Casinos. Cagey is defined by a dry, cheeky irreverence that keeps it uncompromisingly fresh and forward-leaning. Prepare yourself for a mind-altering experience with each listen, as this record sets a new standard for electronic music operating at the outskirts of the dance-floor.

MRG017. Harlem Electronics - Cagey

Our third vinyl release lands just before the close of the year and it is a special one. Petros Spatharos leads with a set of bangers distilling perfectly the sound of the label. Athens-based artist is widely known for his dark, immersive industrial sound, so yeah expect nothing less.

Side A starts with ”Datura”, layering heavy drums with dark reeses and syncopations - solid stuff. ”Xorkia” is an eyes-down track which will keep you in the zone with stellar percussion and atmosphere. ”Vultures” closes the first side with higher energy levels and more distinct breakbeat elements.

On Side B, Randstad remixes ”Datura” and pumps up the tempo to create a mind-bending industrial electro track with aggressive synths. Boris Barksdale wrap-ups the physical release by remixing ”Xorkia” and changing the core to techno while reworking percussion to create an industrial heavy-hitter track.

On top of this, ”Reformer” from Petros Spatharos has been added to the release as a digital bonus which you can download exclusively from our Bandcamp page.

Enjoy!

This is a 2025 remix of my Meat Katie Remix Contest Entry Track from back then

Meat Katie - I Was There - Doc Woco ft. Extbreakz Remix -  [ 2025 Remix ]

Another premiere features viscous melodies and vocals of Trenton Chase in a track called Narked, that belongs to V.A. Archives Du Coeur Domain compilation.

The compilation is the latest in the synth-heavy sludge down from Public System Recordings brought directly by the label’s boss Myn. It’s said that he invites a new cast of characters into the dungeon dance, and it’s completely true. Packed with dynamic, chugging, and forward thinking jams, compilation includes Narked, which is yet again a strong piece from Trenton Chase. Metallic and industrial elements bend along with vocal echoes, that create constant reverberation and the positive sound of fear.
