SNIPPETS: soundcloud.com/dalmata-daniel/dds07-roberto-auser-cestrian-snippets

For the 7th installment of their split-series, Dalmata Daniel welcomes both Roberto Auser for his sophomore contribution to the label, as well as a fresh addition to the catalogue: Cestrian, aka. Ali Renault, the tireless Margate-based DJ and producer, well known for his frantic, dazzling and rough releases at labels like Bunker, Cyber Dance Records or Mechatronica.

Massive, thumping kickdrums and hypnotic whispers introduce the first tunes of side A, that is ‘Awakening’ – Auser’s take on slow, EBM-esque industrial vibrations as an eerie, industrial waltz. ‘Selvage’ drives effortlessly to disco- and retrofuturistic territories, arriving at the closing track of Auser’s side, ‘Long Night’. This third cut is his longest one, steadily building up harmonic layers of dark, intertwining melodies with the devoted beats of a minimalistic drummachine, full of echoes and shimmering high-ends.

Side B starts with the energetic, rolling bassline of ‘Satan’. Ideal title for such a fiery, blazing electro hit: if you ever find yourself in any sort of Inferno-situation trying to Shazam that heated banger you hear, it is likely that it's one of Cestrian’s intense tracks from this 12”. ‘Zoltan’ delivers a gentle rumbling of a dusty bass-synth. An atmospheric, chill sequence dominates the split’s penultimate track, with dreamy chords and smooth twists on a chaotic noise-source. Finishing off the split, Cestrian hits us with ‘Lids’ – an excited and raw vision of electro, full of hazy sparks and detuned, tense oscillations. The bass cuts into our minds like blades from a giallo-opus, leaving behind nothing but the unsolved mystery of ineffable horrors.

Dead Channel Records welcomes Kelan, macabre jockey of the gritty industrial underbelly of Bristol’s deviant, avant-garde scene.

Performing as part of the raucous and theatrical, rhythmic noise act Bad Tracking, the occult driven Salac, and resident DJ and founder of the longstanding underground night Slack Alice, the seedy raconteur has defined his sound in biting taunts, soul-baring political venom, and sleazy noir, punctuated by scummy, gnarled electronics straight from the gutter. A follow up to his ‘Downtown’ release on Bristol Normcore in 2022, This no-holes-barred, raw EP full of debauchery and bane stands fast as a praxis against the rotting establishment.

"Usually going under the moniker Mule Driver, Harel Schrieber has dedicated a great deal of his life's work to studying and exploring the wonders of the Roland TR-808 drum machine, celebrating its' rhythms to a large extent and since 2011 releasing exclusive material for the annual 808 day, which occurs every August 8th.
For the upcoming 808 "birthday", he'll deliver his gift, literally, as Max Schrieber - His alter ego for experimental and drone oriented works and therefore utilize and treat the 808 differently; zero beats whatsoever. Instead, late seventies Brian Eno inspired ambient soundscapes and atmosphere."

Premiere: Max Schreiber - Tape I [DM08]

Los Angeles based Ole Mic Odd (Michael Padgett) hits Dead Channel with this highly anticipated scorcher of an EP.

At the forefront of mutant sounds, Padgett hammers his way through pumped-up, biting acid electro, lo-fi fuzzed out melodia, and absolutely mangled percussive tracks shattering your wrecked body into a thousand pieces. The musical vanguard seamlessly fuses rhythm and sound from the far reaches of modern dance music, culminating in this sinister work of preternatural maximum overdrive.

/ / / / /

"L+P-2 is Rivet's second album following his acclaimed debut, On Feather and Wire, released on Editions Mego in 2020. The wheels were already in motion for a subsequent album on the same label, but tragedy struck. Peter "Pita" Rehberg, the legendary owner of Editions Mego, suddenly passed away at only 53 years old, leaving the experimental electronic music community in a state of pitch-black grief. Rivet was among the many deeply affected by this loss. The inspiration and support from Rehberg had propelled Rivet to create at a level he himself was uncertain he had mastered. For Rivet, Rehberg's death felt like the death of music.
However, that brooding sentiment was abruptly shattered when Rivet's beloved dog and companion, Lilo, was diagnosed with incurable cancer just a couple of months later. They were inseparable, and now they would be separated nonetheless. The only way Rivet could cope with this double blow was to compose—for Lilo, for Pita, for his own sanity. L+P-2 is the result.
While the album naturally emerges from a place of despair, it's remarkably comforting. Partly, this stems from Rivet's singular ability to make machines not only sound human but also act human—sincere and warm, yet flawed. In more than one track on L+P-2, you'll encounter a distinctive melody and a gnarly bassline dancing hand in hand with Rivet's eccentric and captivating drum patterns. Then, seemingly on a whim, the melody takes off on its own, leaving the faithful bassline behind—much like a dear friend that suddenly vanishes from your life without warning. Yet life goes on, and so does the music. But never unchanged. Never.
L+P-2 is an album of lamentation, yet also of resolve—a dedication to those who go through life losing more than their share because they always carry too much.

har jag hukat
så länge
att allt blivit skevt
att allt blivit skört
//
have I hunched down
for so long
that everything has become askew
that everything has become brittle "

Nasty Habits is the second project of Karim Bornaz. Tunisian born, Cologne based Karim Bornaz has always been a subject of Darkwave and Post-Punk influence, the persona driven via unlighted and emotional synthesis waves took it upon himself to craft his own identity dazzling and mixing organic and electronic sounds.

‘LATE & ON TIME’ EP is a 2023 craft produced and mixed by Nasty Habits condemning all high hopes that turned into either ambitions, fantasies or even nightmares. The fact is that we might never be too late for something and as long as we know that, we might take action upon ourselves to develop this certain urge to accomplish things. The ideology of this focus has been shaped via synthpunk, post-punk while absorbing some dark wave and electronic influence.
