Hyperborea (Landscapes Ep / Wave Function)

In recent years, Blackploid has come to be one of Central Processing Unit’s signature artists. The German producer has averaged more than a record a year for the Sheffield imprint since he first landed on CPU in 2021. This prolific run continues with Cosmic Drama, Blackploid’s second LP for the label. The album takes the baton from its predecessor Enter Universe in style, delivering twelve tracks of top-quality machine-funk that draw down from electro’s classic artists while also imbuing proceedings with a playfulness that very much gives things a signature Blackploid-ish flavour.

Cosmic Drama sets its stall out from the off. The opening run of ‘Alien’, ‘World Construction’ and ‘Virtual State’ all deliver piston-snapping beats which anchor pleasing melanges of B-movie synth lines. Alongside this, Blackploid adds little flourishes which add buoyancy to each joint - a syncopated bassline reminiscent of I-f’s late-90s classic ‘Space Invaders Are Smoking Grass’, crackling robo-voiced commands, skittering synth chords which wash across the mix and so on. It’s the work of someone completely at ease with their craft, comfortable enough to take risks without upsetting the apple cart of their sound’s core appeal.

Blackploid’s idiosyncratic approach to synth work is something which distinguishes Cosmic Drama from the pack. Electro has long been a genre which prides itself on innovation on the keys, but few producers are willing to push their sonics as far as Blackploid does - take the seasick churn of pads and processors on ‘Multiverse’, for instance, or the way John Carpenter-esque single-note lines dovetail with gurgling synthetic pulses and eerie, spacious chords on ‘The Lab’, a highlight of Cosmic Drama’s midsection.

Cosmic Drama skips along at club tempo throughout - every one of these joints will get bodies moving in dark rooms across the galaxy. However, even when tracks maintain their single-minded pursuit of machine-funk perfection, they never forget to deliver on the hooks. Blackploid has lead lines (and counter-melodies) to burn here, and each track knots them together in ever-more intriguing ways as they plough onwards. Drexciyan heads will be thrilled by the sci-fi delights of ‘Species’, for instance, while Blackploid brings melodies as cold as they are catchy on the aptly-named ‘Polar Dunes’. By the time Cosmic Drama hits upon the vroom-vrooming bassline line of closer ‘Contact’, you’re fully enthralled to the album’s combination of broken-beat heft and synthetic melodiousness.

https://moybassmusic.bandcamp.com/album/the-caustic-wymondham-ep

This release has been in the works for a minute. Vladimir (who runs Offen) has been a longtime supporter of my music - regularly playing my tracks out across the globe. A couple of years back, I sent him some demos and a recent release: one of those tracks made it into his set at the Outburst stage at Houghton Festival, which was a huge moment for me! That sparked an ongoing exchange of music and ideas, and eventually led to this EP taking shape.

Stylistically, it’s the MOY blend of bluephoric acid, electro, and breakbeats - with some added 4/4 stomp for good measure. (I also took the photos for the sleeve myself on a slightly wonky Nikon, which felt fitting for this one.)

Really proud of how this EP turned out. Huge thanks to Vladimir for the support and belief in what I do.

ANCPT013 Konerytmi - Megapikseli EP

@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!

TEARS IN RAIN 07 - RISE OF THE MACHINES  by Luishock w_FABIO VINUESA_JUNIO

Out now: POOL JAMS – the new album by INIT 🌊🌀

A soundtrack for sun-soaked city streets and neon-lit dreams. INIT, the Berlin-based duo of Nadia D'Alò and Benedikt Frey, return with their fourth album — a hazy blend of trip hop, dub, trance, and R’n’B grace, all twisted into something uniquely their own. Released on R.i.O., POOL JAMS feels like a faded photo from an empty pool — nostalgic, seductive, and endlessly replayable.

You can dream it. You can trance it. But once it's on, you can’t escape it.
Now streaming everywhere.

INIT - Carrier

Personne aliénée has been involved with electronic music for several years, crafting releases on New Jersey's Axumisia Records and Cologne's Abstract Rhythm, run by fellow Electro aficionado Difuz.

The latter label is a recent and fast-growing addition to the city's musical landscape, it has been pushing the genre and attracting talent from all over the world since 2023, when it published Personne aliénée's EP as its inaugural release.

His musical preferences span a wide spectrum, from the bass-heavy universe of the UK Hardcore continuum to psychedelic-tinged Techno. But Electro holds a particularly special place in his heart.

He's drawn to the genre's inherent nerdiness and its unabashed celebration of technology - elements that infuse his productions with both technical precision and playful experimentation.
Beyond the studio, Personne aliénée brings his electronic visions to life through dynamic live performances.

DTP#44 - Kid Ginseng

This is the full bonkers version of "It Has Much Grain" produced in 1997 – an edit of which occurred on the "AlteredStatesOfAmerica" compilation alongside Solvent, David Kristian, Matmos and others. 

Released on Jon Tye's Lo Recordings label in 1997/1998 (on both CD and a limited edition promo vinyl 12" record) the version that was released was edited down (by Jon Tye himself) from this "full" version.

I was pretty self-assured back then and thought nothing of submitting a 14-minute distorted-synth freak-out as a "track" for a compilation...

"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
