Hard Bodies 3

Günce Acı - Another Round [Ombra INTL020: Dystopian Lucid Dreaming] Mastered at The Wall

London-based DJ and producer Katie Wilkinson is a bird lover, no wonder she decided to call her brand-new music project… Birds. Exploring her New Wave, 80s Goth, Techno, Psychedelic, and Experimental influences, Katie has been delivering high-quality themes and drawing more and more attention through her solid releases on influential Indie Dance labels such as Emerald & Doreen, Ombra International, Samo, Inside Out, and now on NEIN Records with “Time”, a 4-track EP divided into two dark-as-hell originals and two dangerous remixes by our dear friends Alvee (FREEDL019) and Gegen Mann (SXDNS220).

Her music brings together acid basslines with post-punk style guitars and off-kilter vocals to create something refreshingly original. The successful formula has been responsible for extremely well-crafted retro-infused pieces. In sum: Music with attitude, that’s the best definition of Birds’ exquisite sonority.

Through the remix we were solicited to review/premiere, Alvee proved he is totally familiarized and comfortable dealing with the mesmerizing Post-Punk universe. His interpretation of “Feed The Void” kept the gloomy atmosphere of the original even after having spiced & speed up things a little bit. The Mexican virtuoso went from 100 to 121 BPM, properly twisted the vibrant acid layer, and added some badass guitar riffs that paired sublimely with the amazing vocals by the star of the hour. Kudos, Jungs!

PREMIERE259 // Birds - Feed The Void (Alvee Remix)

@thomassjackson & @theusmago land on @hardfist with their debut collaborative EP “El Venao”. From the tribal sounds of "Don Palenque" to the trippy and weirdo vibes of "El Venao", passing by a more straight to the dancefloor-oriented track like "Clubby", they have created an intense and vibrant EP.

PREMIERE: Thomass Jackson & Theus Mago - Clubby

Slowly but fiercely, the Spanish label Banshees Records has been carving in stone its place among the most interesting platforms devoted to the dark side of music – aka Dark Disco, Cold Wave, EBM, Industrial & whatnot. Curated by Toledo-based producer Israel Padilla, the imprint has – since its beginning in 2021 – already featured some of the best artists in the game such as Curses, Kendal, Parissior (SXDNS206/FREEDL043), Silicodisco, and Jennifer Touch (SXDNS022). For its forthcoming episode to be released in digital and cassette, Banshees presents “Mistakes Of The Mind”, a 7-track EP by Cobrawave divided into five furious originals (one in collaboration with Mimmo) and two blazing remixes made with love by David Carretta and the label boss himself. Premiered here, the former’s collaboration.

And who on Earth is Cobrawave? He is the new alter ego of prolific and skilled Italian producer Futuristant (FREEDL042), and his main focus is on industrial and acid atmospheres exploited through powerful and raw cuts. You will definitely notice such sonority on his showcase debut EP.

Let’s get back to David’s remix, shall we? He respectfully kept many elements of the original but daringly brought the theme to a more “peak time” realm, especially due to the incredible bouncing bassline he added. His interpretation is somewhat brighter and punchier, although still acid and dark. A version that says, “stop dancing with your shadow and dance with me!” – undoubtedly, one of the highlights of the ace release!

XHIB formed during the 2020 lockdown out of the ashes of his former synth wave project “TRSPSSR”. His cryptically titled “Steel Shimmering Viper Squid” EP under the new XHIB moniker modulates between a loosely club oriented amalgamation of industrial and minimal wave influences laid out over hammering rhythms and scorched shrieks. XHIB is also one of the organizers and resident djs of the Berlin based AOP13 collective.

Electro is fundamentally modern. The coldness of the machine laid bare, a human attempt to express through circuits and wiring. Despite adhering to specific codes and norms, it is a sound that refuses to be pigeonholed. It is with this in mind that Shipwrec has collected a wealth of international talent to showcase their own vision of this bracing style. Serge Geyzel incises from the needle drop, the acid blistered "Still There" is sliced and quartered by scissoring snares. Endfest changes the trajectory with the modular warmth of "La Chouffe" before the lines change and Manasyt delivers the darkened angles and punishing percussion of "Row Hammer." Andrew Red Hand maintains the shadowy synthlines of his predecessor, industrial undertones bubbling to the surface in distortion-soaked aggression. The mood shifts with Alpha Visitor. Crystalline chords are punctured by crisp drum patterns, stabbing keys and broad arcs unveil a world of sci-fi inspirations. The finale comes from Jauzas the Shining. Broad sweeps introduce "Shemale" before dripping drums are countered by samples and icy blasts. Modern machine music from six masters.
