Mures are Joshua Cordova and Santiago Leyba. They fit perfectly as MRT010, transporting the label from the cold, grey, drowned in concrete atmospheres of Acid Ernst to the working class heat of the American south. Body music, factory music, machines intensify their rhythm as degrees rise. Hot iron is forged, sweat and black stains cover faces, hard labor, the struggle and the hammers, tools for modern times restraint. Rare Metal and Workers have just paved the way to that bullet that is Trains of Thought.

MRT010 - Mures - Trains Of Thought

E.L.I. lands on MRT shores and pollutes them with all sort of filth. The label second last instalment takes us to Britain and it is one of the most aggressive so far. The distorted screams, the ultra darkness, the violent atmosphere it creates is tinted in black and white by the stroboscopic lights of underground clubs. A perfect mixture of relentless basslines and straightforward rhythmic patterns for the dancers with no cause, with no hope for tomorrow. Places made famous by death and disaster.

Violence is Bliss

MRT011 - E.L.I. - Happiness In short Supply

Naamal M’bae aka Nam’s is next on Lux Rec, namely, number 49. The young musician is all dark and desperation, fast, angry and on point. Song titles are quite explicative of the mood one will swirl into. A 7” with an extremely fresh take on all the things we like. Bitter frustration. Spiralling down into chaos.

Chaos

LXRC49 - Nam's - I want you Dead

Our favorite Swiss dj for raw rythmics, industrial echoes and body music. Delivering one extremely intense hour and gracing us by playing tracks from MRT011 (E.L.I.) and LXRC49 (Nam's).

EVOL (Alku / Mego / Editions Mego):

Since the late nineties, Roc Jiménez de Cisneros and his collaborators have been producing what they call "computer music for hooligans", inspired by geometry, metaphysics, noise, cosmology and rave culture. A vortex of generative basslines, air horns and fuzzy arpeggios, their music displays a radical and playful approach to algorithmic composition, with works available on Entr'acte, Mego, Presto!?, Diskono, Scarcelight, fals.ch and their very own ALKU. 

BCN ¿Sello Discografico?: 

Como solemos decir por aquí, es sorprendente la cantidad de sellos, productores y otras células creativas que han proliferado los últimos años en Barcelona, una ciudad que siempre se había caracterizado por tener muchos más clubbers que músicos. Y parece que las chicas del documental BCN ¿sello discográfico? piensan igual. A punto de estrenarse en el festival In-Edit, la película intenta definir si existe un nexo, algún punto en común en todo este maremágnum, a base de declaraciones de los protagonistas, algunos de ellos directamente vinculados al MOOG. Y para celebrarlo, qué mejor que una fiesta en el club con auténticos pesos pesados del presunto Barcelona Sound como Clip!, David M, nuestro Gus Van Sound, y los indomables Evol por partida doble, con uno de sus lives de rave deconstruido y con un DJ set con los BPMs a toda pastilla. Parece que sí que está pasando algo en Barcelona.

EVOL  -  dj Set @ Moog presents BCN ¿Sello Discografico? Night (2014_11_01)

Throughout the 1980s, Michael Antener, born and raised in Bern, Switzerland, initiated an array of sonic endeavours in the realm of industrial, dark, aggressive music. Of his times as a post-apocalyptic hunter, he says today: "I found a musical niche where I could express myself, along with other people who were not afraid of dark themes. It would have been hard to sing about love in my music, so I included sounds and cries of pain taken from horror movies." 

It was a fortunate coincidence to come across one of his self-released records, the 1986 EP "Strangler of the Swamp", which marked the beginning of our quest to find this all but forgotten musician whose work seemed nowhere to be found. Eventually, we got in touch with Michael, who is still living in Bern, and began the process of searching through all his surviving musical and visual material. 

The triple vinyl release is all about documenting Michael Antener’s adventures during that intense 1980s period. We tried our best to select the most interesting material from his two earliest projects, "The Strangler of the Swamp" and "Bande Berne Crematoire", comprising materials from vinyl records, cassettes, and live recordings, some of it unreleased. The release also includes a deep dive into Michael’s visual archive of posters, photos, and sleeve artworks. 

The disjointed, tumultuous body of work presented here marks the testament of a fringe musician who was disruptive and confrontational, keen to shock and alarm people (much to our liking), and who could easily have been lost in oblivion.

300 copies.

Eine Aufnahme voller widerlicher Verderbtheit

LXRC50 - Eine Aufnahme voller widerlicher Verderbtheit

New York City’s Veronica Vasicka very much discovered an untapped musical mine when searching for music for her radio show more than a decade ago. That mine was full of rare, overlooked and forgotten DIY synth records from the 70s and 80s and inspired her to start her own label, Minimal Wave. Since then it has become an imprint with a very focussed musical and visual identity, has spawned compilations on Peanut Butter Wolf's Stones Throw Records and has made Veronica an in demand DJ all round the world.

At those gigs, she offers up a sleek musical vision that is mirrored here in the mix she had done for our on going series.  Starting with a poignant monologue about new music, it then drops into a rugged groove that is industrial and machine made, abstract and futuristic. The ensuing hour touches on the robo-techno of Levon Vincent, terse beats and raved-up electro as well as some colourful and trippy disco. A lot is packed in, but a buffed metal sheen ties the whole thing together and subtly oozes the very essence of Minimal Wave.
