Adam X is back with his third album release under his industrial guise, ADMX-71. Following releases with the legendary label Hands and his own imprint, Sonic Groove Experiments, Adam paired up with L.I.E.S Records in 2014 for Redacted Files, a 12” single of slowed-down and tense EBM wizardry. Adam returns to the L.I.E.S. front with Coherent Abstractions, a brand new album of singular experiments that pull from every corner of electronic music's landscape into a comprehensive and propulsive full-length. 

Coherent Abstractions pulsates with fractured rhythms, vacillating melodies and mesmerizing compositions that showcase Adam's impressive history working in all aspects of the underbelly of electronic music. Noise and industrial elements seep into the album's 11 songs, churning the cold and abrasive into feverish new territory. Though Coherent Abstractions operates primarily in sounds of solitude, guest vocalist Janina joins "Bound and Broken" for a rare vocal collaboration on an ADMX-71 track. We also hear a frantic vocal performance from the producer on Nearing Obliteration which is undoubtedly the apex of the album.

Throughout the album the music sweeps from breakbeat noir, anxious electronic dub to reflective industrial modes making Coherent Abstractions an engaging and varied listen, updating a late 80's EBM tone into modern sound design environments, while pushing a reverence for the past and heading into the deep unknown of the future. 

For those unfamiliar with Adam's deeply rooted history in the New York underground, he and his brother, Frankie Bones, pioneered techno in a post-disco, pre-Guiliani, New York City through the late-eighties and onwards past the nineties producing countless records under and finally opening their own shop and record label, Sonic Groove. At the same time they began throwing renegade parties, known as STORM RAVE throughout the 5 boroughs. which was, until this time unheard of in such a major U.S. metropolis and opened the door for what was to come.

Their record store Sonic Groove served as an essential hub for purchasing cutting edge electronic music from which they imported from across the globe. The shop also functioned as a crucial meeting point for likeminded freaks throughout the city to exchange ideas.

Furthermore, Adam was one of the most notorious train writers in the history of NYC graffitti as he trespassed the system and infiltrated train yards during a time when it was thought that the yards were impenetrable. After deciding to exit the world of graffiti he focused his energy solely on music. As time went by we've heard Adam transform his sound from fast paced hard techno to metal beat driven industrialized EBM, the sounds of the train yard always present in his music carrying him forward.

ADMX-71 - Phenomenalist (LIES-067)

Man Bro brings together two familiar Rotterdam voices: Charlton Ravenberg and Khalil Ryahi. What began as a run of late night hardware jams in a shared lockdown studio eventually shaped All Time High, an eight track album that drifts between coordinated chaos and stripped down rhythm. Techno, electro, acid and skeletal 808 drum patterns surface and fade, driven by hands on experimentation and intuition. Everything was built on analog machines and developed over the past few years.

Charlton’s background in rugged, left-of-centre techno shapes the heavier edge but also brings in the off-kilter chords and warped melodies that run through the record. Khalil, drawing on his Triphouse roots and years of steering the sound of Infinite Pleasure, handles much of the drum programming and detailed editing, giving the tracks their swing, structure and forward pull. Together they form a language that feels natural and direct, two working methods meeting in the middle.

All Time High arrives on December 19th as a super limited double LP edition of 25 copies, each featuring custom artwork by Steef Offerhaus, making every record its own piece. The release captures the pace of their city, years of friendship, and the unpolished energy of the sessions that shaped it documenting a project built on trust, improvisation, and the feel of machines in motion.

For this 53th Premiere of 2020, we have a track by Confluence from the upcoming EP "Shed" [AVD005] on the brand new label from Glasgow rooted in leftfield electro and diverse sonics  : Avoidant.

The track we chose to premiere is entitled ‘We Are’ and it will be available in Digital from March 30, 2020 here : https://avoidantrecords.bandcamp.com/album/shed-ep

Release Info :

Confluence - Shed EP [Avoidant - AVD005]

Tracklist :
1. Shed
2. We Are
3. Canyon Of Time

Russian based Confluence steps up for for Avoidant’s 5th release, dropping the electro soaked, Shed.  Having focused mainly on his techno output for sometime, he breaks his mould with this excellently produced, intense 3 track EP. 

Title track Shed opens the EP with a straight up, funked out electro beat that is torn asunder by a huge and emphatic baseline that is designed to obliterate any dance floor. We Are keeps the groove flowing as a more evolving and mutating hook delivers a more ominous and foreboding track. Canyon Of Time closes the EP on a deeper, break-y tip as his use of a varied sonic palette shows his flexibility as a producer

Title: A1
Album: "Orchid" EP
Label: Jack Dept

Release: Aug 07th, 2020
Buy link: bit.ly/3glyedk

Peruvian-born Jorge B grew up in Costa Rica where he was first exposed to electronic music during the 90s. Later in life he spent time in Marfa, Texas being influenced by the monumental minimal art of Donald Judd, Dan Flavin and John Chamberlain. Since then he has settled in NYC where he works as a creative director and photographer. To Jorge, images and music go hand in hand and his architectural approach can be felt in the rugged and haunting productions of this acid-tinged 4-track EP.
