An epic journey through sound from our friend Caramelo Gabanna. It goes together with our upcoming release by Nicola Kazimir, Gnade, from which Caramelo extracted the track Silent Together and played it somewhere at the end of the mix. An infinite swirl of influences, worlds, emotions, out of this planet and back to it.

LXRC47 - Bound by Endogamy - Junktion Rivers

Hailing from Lausanne NVST participates to our radio series with a powerful recording, merging her signature sound with what Lux Rec is known for. The result is a physical, confrontational, riot like soundtrack. She was so kind to include "Lettre à Lauren" and "Junktion Rivers" by the Bound by Endogamy. Tracks from our LXRC47. Find her in the mist of the action.

Zürich based musician and dj Jamira Estrada graced us with a new session for our podcast series. A dark ritualistic wander, as the mix begins, transform itself into a forceful rhythmical dance, never devoid of sombre melodies. Almost at the end of it she plays Fatal Fatal, a track from Karl Kave 7" Leg di bitte a (LXRC45, released in May this year), a track all about Isolation. Isolate yourself from everything and everyone and listen.

In 2012 Claus Fovea self released a cassette containing 10 tracks, he was at his Swedish beginnings. 9 years later we re-discovered his tape, thanks to Sam. It still sounded so true and relevant to us that we decided to release it on vinyl. Claus then reworked some tracks, scrap some, and made few new. Florin Büchel mixed them down and Andrea Merlini mastered them. The result is a picture frozen in time, in between now and then, the struggle, and sadness, that fragile construction of hope shattered as time goes by, like nothing ever change. It is indeed, as he sings, just the same song playing all the time. Over and over.

Open Eyes Shut

LXRC48 - Claus Fovea - Dreams

Towlie comes from Stockholm, she runs käften (https://soundcloud.com/kaftenrecords) and she is part of Empfänger, a project we released a record from in 2018 (https://soundcloud.com/empfanger). She's the perfect match for our vinyl with Claus Fovea. Her transmission starts with Minimal und Monoton, a track you will find on the A side of Open Eyes Shut, our LXRC48. Cult of the underground.

Acid Ernst is the alias of Konstantin Unwohl. He’s reviving the MRT series with four tracks of different qualities. The A side is pushing in every direction, relentless rhythms, depressed melodies coming in waves and sombre lyrics. As to bring sadness and frustration in an otherwise angry techno room. The B side is rather sombre, with a masterpiece that goes by the name Ehering and a dark number called Deine Stiche taten Weh. The perfect starting point to close the MRT chapter, the first of 4 releases that will conclude this adventure.

Ehre

MRT009 - Acid Ernst - Ehering

The weirdest, most obscure, ultra lo-fi mix we have ever published. Without any courtesy of Club Dementia. From the vaults of the uncomfortable and the unknown. Subterranean madness. Starts with Acid Ernst, Ehering, MRT.

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.

Rare Metal

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

LXRC18 - Cold Colors - Les ombres

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).
