The usual suspects Assembler Code and Jensen Interceptor join the LKR Records artist roster. Flexing three tracks of stripped back raw electro, sprinkles of acid and zaps sit perfectly over hard hitting rhythms. Also featured is an unexpected remix from bass bleep superstar Roza Terenzi, lightening the mood with her unique sound but retaining some of the toughness of the original track. 4 tracks from some of Australia's best artists.

'Upper Function' is the full force title track of LKR006. With a staunch groove, comb filtered vox, echoes of eerie pads and a simple in your face acid line, this track was obviously designed for peak time floor destruction...

B1 // Assembler Code & Jensen Interceptor - Upper Function [LKR006]

The closing track off LKR006 is a spontaneous and colourful rejig of Upper Function by break through Perth (Now Melbourne Based) producer Roza Terenzi. Scattered arpeggios and a bouncy bass line sit between her signature sounding drum's which occasionally switches to the original drum's at moment's. Topped with cruisey pads and conga's it's a lighter take on the original which is hard to picture, but she did it and pulled it off with flair!

Physical's out now via a large range of stores and via our band camp...

'Ballaratian Electro'

LKR007 comes in hot from the Ballarat born now Berlin based producer Ouxh. 'Machines In Care' is a warm and unique EP touching on the emotional and introspective side of Ouxh's productions leaning on broken Electro and dusty IDM. 

'Machines In Care' features a rolling groove filled with unique percussion and field recordings of various machines layered in a Musique Concréte style. The similarly styled 'Birdman' continues on this tip with a slightly more hopeful feeling to it.

Finally 'Coma Void' quick in it's pace, flexes sharp electro with a catchy vocal and an ever evolving dub sound. Scattered bleeps and great drum programming carry this enormous dance floor destroyer.

The latest release on LKR records is a deep electronic trip, courtesy of Canada’s D. Tiffany (@d-tiffany). The aptly titled ‘Cruel Trance’ moves across moods and tempos in a distinctly psychedelic and hazy manner The EP’s first track Low morphs effortlessly between serene ambient techno and broken electro. 4leaf steps along confidently at double speed, in a swathe of IDM bleeps and tones. The B-side opens with Cruel Trance, a deep and percussive piece of dancefloor weaponry. The EP winds with a blissed-out cut of dubby aquatic house, titled 8 in Conga R. It is the perfect end to an inspired release.

X’trapolis is under threat... 

Word is spreading fast that the powerful and long-feared Agamid lizard known by many as Reptilius has been sighted building a dangerous army on the outskirts of Squamata, exhausting the forests natural resources and leaving previously thriving, culturally significant and beautiful areas decrepit and lifeless in a greedy, capitalistic move to gain control. 

Completely unaware of this, Reptant returns home to X’trapolis after spending 5 years conducting extensive research on Earth’s unique analogue technology. 

With his esteemed Lizard Tech Militia stuck back on Earth, Reptant finds himself alone and must seek help from the infamous Gecko Force if he wishes to succeed in protecting his home. 

The Gecko Force are a lounge of superior prehistoric native Gecko’s rumoured to have been some of the only survivors from the brutal Agamid colonisation of X’trapolis which occurred many generations ago. 

With their power and extensive knowledge of X’trapolis, the planet and all of its delicate and precious lifeforms just might stand a chance... 

Return To Planet X’trapolis was written, recorded and mixed by Reppi T. Lizrd AKA Reptant at Squamata Studios, X’trapolis 2019-2020.
