Joyous and almost spiritual journey... dig that funky flute theme...

Since he moved to Paris, in 2015, this rising Serbian has securely affirmed his own vision of what Industrial techno is.

Over the course of 3 years, he developed his very own unique style taking on heavy hard hitting industrial techno with a touch of noise thanks to his influences in the experimental and hardcore genre, notably noise, ambient and hardcore music. 

Variety is key, and with this artist, you never know what to expect. From big room rave music all the way down to the maleficent dark dungeons, Makornik likes to dance with the crowd by sending them on a musical journey.

Crystal Geometry is the latest project from underground electronic music veteran, Maxime Fabre. Inspired by Post-Punk, Black Metal and Industrial, the French producer and live artist has returned to his roots, a crossover between the warehouse rave scene of the 90’s and industrial music, mixing EBM influences with machine-born Techno.

Centered around an ever-growing modular system, the project focuses on live improvisation utilizing dedicated hardware. Crystal Geometry live performances are an assault on the body, marching through dystopian territories whilst manipulating sounds into menacing frequencies. Output under the alias has continued to penetrate the circuit, with a growing catalogue of high-impact productions, released through Adam X’s Sonic Groove, Ellen alien's Bpitch, SNTS' sacred court,or Hex recording, to name a few

Podcast Series 021 - Crystal Geometry

Premiere: La versión única de Swarm Intelligence del techno industrial está de regreso, con la segunda entrega de su sello homónimo, disponible en noviembre.

Ferozmente intensa, dramática y vanguardista, la visión distintiva del techno de Swarm Intelligence le ha ganado un gran número de seguidores entre el verdadero underground de la escena. Siguiendo desde el lanzamiento de su sello, SWRM002, que cuenta con un gran apoyo, es un siguiente paso sorprendente: un testimonio de la tranquila confianza de un artista experto que no teme evitar las normas y forjar su propio camino. Este segundo EP continúa inspirándose en temas distópicos de tecnologías nuevas e imaginadas y su impacto social resultante.
'Critical Signal' se produjo durante la pandemia global y se perfeccionó de forma iterativa durante los años siguientes. Bajos chirriantes y atmósferas tensas se asientan sobre un atronador cuatro al suelo. Su mensaje a la humanidad es tan relevante ahora como lo era entonces: “eres resistente y prevalecerás”. 
En 'Disinformation Era', un paisaje sonoro visceral, sombrío e inquietante puntuado por un ritmo contundente es una metáfora adecuada de la guerra psicológica que se está desatando en el mundo de hoy.

Al abrir la cara B, la edificante gloria de 'Digital Immortality' eleva el tono del lanzamiento. Aquí, los ritmos rotos y con fallas característicos de Swarm complementan hermosas ondas melódicas y una línea de bajo ondulante. La pista imagina una vida futura digital donde, al cargar nuestra conciencia, dejamos atrás nuestros cuerpos. Para cerrar el EP, “Singularity Dawns” es la más libre de las composiciones cinematográficas. Sus ritmos oscuros entrecortados y su secuencia transversal cuentan la historia de una IA que se vuelve consciente de sí misma y descubre su capacidad de sentir.

Escuche exclusivamente "Disinformation Era" por Swarm Intelligence solo en @knifearg SoundCloud.

Lanzamiento el 20 de Noviembre de 2023. Lea más y ordene en: https://swarmintell.bandcamp.com/album/swarm-intelligence-002

Premiere: Swarm Intelligence’s unique take on industrial techno is back, with the second instalment on his self-titled label, coming this November.

Fiercely intense, dramatic and cutting-edge, Swarm Intelligence’s distinctive take on techno has garnered him a solid following amongst the true underground of the scene. Following on from the
widely supported launch of his label, SWRM002 is a striking next step – a testament to the quiet confidence of a skilled artist unafraid to eschew norms and carve his own path. This second EP
continues to draw inspiration from dystopian themes of new and imagined technologies and their resulting societal impact.
‘Critical Signal’ was produced during the global pandemic, and iteratively refined over the following years. Grinding basses and tense atmospherics sit atop a thunderous four-to-the-floor. Its message to humanity is as relevant now as it was then – “you are resilient, you will prevail”. In ‘Disinformation’ a visceral, bleak and unsettling sonic landscape punctuated by a slamming groove is an apt metaphor for the psychological warfare being unleashed on the world today.

Opening the B-side, the uplifting glory of ‘Digital Immortality’ lifts the tone of the release. Here, Swarm’s signature glitchy, broken beats complement beautiful melodic swells and a rolling bass line. The track imagines a digital afterlife where, upon uploading our consciousness, we leave our bodies behind. Bringing the EP to a close, “Singularity Dawns” is the most freeform, cinematic composition. Its obscure broken rhythms and traversing sequence tells the tale of an AI becoming self-aware and discovering its capacity to feel.

Listen exclusively "Disinformation Era" by Swarm Intelligence only on @knifearg SoundCloud.

Perc - 'The Cut Off' - 2x12" vinyl, CD & digital out now on Perc Trax
perctrax.bandcamp.com/album/the-cut-off

YouTube youtu.be/T86dkeuheMo

Perc Trax is proud to announce 'Imperial Leather' the first single taken from Perc's new album 'The Cut Off', his first album in seven years. 'Imperial Leather' is a raw statement of intent. Jabbing percussive techno colliding midway with a giant sized synth riff, topped off with raw vocal shouts from London based metal vocalist Leandro Bastos. 

Road tested by Perc at his gigs across Europe, America and Asia, it's a perfect introduction to the steely dance floor focused sound of his new album.

The album features collaborations with Swedish techno experimentalist Sissel Wincent and EAS, one of the USA's fastest rising techno artists.

Mitigate - Persephone's Plight [Rendah Mag Premiere]

We've reached a landmark point in our podcast series with mix number 100.

For this extra special session we've managed to snare a major coup for the label and get a guest mix from the one and only @roelfuncken

He truly needs no introduction, but we'll try...

Roel is one of the most prolific and well sought after names in the electronic music sphere. Known for his ability to shape-shift through a whole universe of sound with ease. The emphasis lies in unique sound design, fractured textures and an uncanny ability for rhythmic structures that are both complex and compound. All these elements are seemingly effortlessly blended together in his production work and have led to his music being held in high esteem among peers and the electronic music community.

Releasing music over the years as a solo artist (under various aliases) and also as part of Legiac, Funckarma, Cenik, Quench and many more. The list is extensive to say the least.

Roel's mix for Bricolage is an immersive electronic labyrinth. A musical maze full of twists, turns, melodic delights and meticulous percussion.

50 tracks deep and clocking in at just over two hours long. This is a must listen episode for any fan of abstract electronics.
