Name: Gluded Smile (2000) by LOWFISH in Somehow Over Fifty
Duration: 4 min 39 s
Description: From the 1999 - 7" (BLOCK003) on Berlin's City Centre Office label and the 2000 release "Eliminator" (Suction008) on Suction Records (Canada). Originally released on CD and Vinyl. The CD was produced here in Canada and released on our Suction Records label. The excellent K-RAA-K label in Belgium pressed and distributed the vinyl version for us. I think this was my best selling release.

The CD was produced here in Canada and released on our Suction Records label. The excellent K-RAA-K label in Belgium pressed and distributed the vinyl version for us.

Gluded Smile (2000)

From the 2003 release "1000 corrections per second" on Suction Records (suction018). Available on CD as an full album and a 12" version. This was the time/album where I played live/toured the most.

Fric Frac (2003)

From the 2010 release "Memories are uncertain friends" on Suction Records (suction021). This a collection of old DAT recoveries of previously unreleased Lowfish stuff from 1997 forward. All analog synth+drum machines with no multi-tracking. I spent a lot of time with my Jupiter-6 and Roland s-750 sampler. A lot.

Vortex Traks Podcast 024 - Alice In Flames

A longstanding member of Belfast’s underground scene, Nez is a DJ and label owner with a sharp ear for raw, uncompromising sounds. As the force behind Computer Controlled Records, he’s spent over two decades championing the underground sounds of electro, acid, and techno, both behind the decks and through his carefully curated releases.

His approach is rooted in a no frills attitude to club culture, focused quality music, proper sound systems and the shared energy of the dancefloor. Whether its behind the decks or curating releases on the label, Nez stays committed to the ethos of techno as resistance: independant, undergroud and unapologetically bold.

Computer Controlled’s output speaks to the same ethos—no filler, just pure signal. Featuring releases from cult figures and rising talents alike, the label has carved out a reputation for quality and attitude, much like Nez himself.

"Elektro Tonight 45" Armchair Issue - Intermediate goal in sight (June 2025)

@fabiovinuesa is an audiovisual creative, music producer, vinyl collector, and DJ based in Madrid. As one of the most active promoters of underground electronic music in Spain, he’s also the co-founder of Solid Tapes and Distrito 91 — one of the most exciting electro labels on the scene today.

“I lost count of how many times I watched Terminator as a kid — I was completely fascinated by the robot. As an adult, that fascination shifted toward the story itself: a self-aware AI that, in order to avoid being shut down, initiates a plan to wipe out humanity, triggering a full-scale war between humans and machines.”

This episode is a sonic landscape shaped around artificial intelligence and cybernetic dystopia, curated by Fabio, and includes exclusive, unreleased tracks soon to be released on D91.

Stay tuned!

Strange But Dance Music #211: Mika Regards

Dalmata Daniel - DDS10
Anatolian Weapons / The Spy
[Vinyl / Digital]

PRE-ORDER: https://dalmatadaniel.bandcamp.com/album/dds10

With its 10th edition, Dalmata Daniel’s split series brings together two artists who have both left their mark on the label’s compilations, now presenting their first full releases on the imprint. Anatolian Weapons and The Spy approach electronic music from different angles, one rooted in hypnotic techno rituals, the other in raw electro and post-punk energy. Both craft sounds that thrive in the shadows of the dancefloor.

On the A-side, Anatolian Weapons delivers three cold, hypnotic cuts. "Trapped" opens with heavy EBM percussion and a buzzkill bassline, setting a tense, mechanical tone. "Further Spiralling Down" sinks deeper into darkness with a grinding low end, tight drums, and electro-tinged claps, forming the side’s relentless highlight. "Apathy Through Shock" closes with pounding, catatonic rhythms and a mournful, otherworldly melody, pushing the listener into disorienting depths.

Flipping over, The Spy’s raw, electro-driven energy takes hold. "Same Blur" channels sharp electro beats with a punkish sneer and cosmic synth lines. "Falling", featuring The Spy’s own vocals, leans into melancholic new wave, pairing bouncy rhythms with bittersweet melodies. The closing "Pretending" drifts into the darkest corners, offering low-slung, haunted electro layered with distant, spectral harmonies.

A1 ‎– A2 ‎– A3 Written & Recorded by ‎– @AnatolianWeapons in Athens, 2022
B1 ‎– B2‎ – B3 Written & Recorded by ‎– @TheSpy808303 in Amsterdam, 2022-2023

"Lowfish's music is deceptively simple, enormously catchy modern electro, eschewing currently fashionable digital trickery for good old analog skills" XLR8R

"Forget the watered-down schlock that passes for electro these days - this is pure, unadulterated synth music, and it rules" VICE

"Seriously, keine Verarsche! Hört mal genau hin, was sich da zwischen den Schaltkreisen entwickelt: ein Organismus, mehrere Zellen, Synthese dank 240 Volt!Lowfish, der bärtigste Bartträger von Toronto, forscht seit den späten Neunzigern nach Lebensformen im Schall. Gefunden hat er: zwei Dutzend EPs und acht Alben, die alle unter eigenen Label-Laborbedingungen entstanden sind. Sie enthalten Spuren von Delia Derbyshire, Mort Garson und Aphex Twin. Möglicherweise haben sich auch Tin Man und ein Dopplereffekt ins Petrischälchen verirrt. Wurscht, weil das ohnehin nur billiges Namedropping ist, um der organisch nach Luft hechelnden und ganz und gar lebendigen Gefühlsverwirrung einen Namen zu verpassen." GROOVE
