Christian Kroupa // Alleged Witches

… were you madly in love into something and you immediately knew it’s going to last forever? “How long is forever? Sometimes just one second.”
Hailing from the sleepy town of Logatec, Slovenia, this is exactly what happened to Christian in the summer of 2008, while hanging at some drum and bass party, with no idea he is about to enter an unexplored pathway.

The pathway is not so unexplored anymore. In 2013, Christian surprised the Slovenian music scene with his original approach to dark ambient music, while he was performing on the Radio Študent’s Club Marathon tour.

Since then, he proved his skills and innovation as a participant at the Red Bull Music Academy, performing on different festival stages (like Sónar in Barcelona, Dimensions in Pula, EMAF in Tokyo), as well as in various clubs from Belgrade to London, from Warsaw to Venice. He is currently exploring more electro, EBM, wave and similiar electronic music derivates, forming a strong partnership with Le Chocolat Noir and marking their debute vinyl + digital release, on a freshly established KRI record label, from Ljubljana, with Mannequin Records boss Alessandro Adriani on the remix duty. 

As well as being featured on Osàre! Editions and Marguerite Records, though under a new name of Black Dot. With more exciting news just around the corner. But on the other hand, Christian is also keeping an eye on house, techno music, while being no stranger to industrial or experimental sounds, making appearances on the legendary R&S records, Fabric 90 Mix compilation, Meda Fury, his own Greyhound Days (now defunct), Dimensions Recordings, and most recently an album for Natural Sciences with his alter ego, Alleged Witches. 

A project based for dictating the dance floor, with a tribal vibe drum workout, industrial sounds and also luring you into its deep ritualistic feel. In the meantime, he's also curating Flash Forward radio show, on the oldest student radio in Europe, Radio Študent from Ljubljana.

Return To Disorder welcomes Evighet Records label head Marco Bruno for some brilliantly controlled sonic chaos on this new electro exploration. His Sharp Focus EP brings together ambient, breaks and techno to snappy electro rhythms of the sort that he has already showcased in style on labels such as Blueprint Records and Machine. This one opens with the sleek, future-facing and speedy sounds of 'Storyteller' before 'Values Over Ego' gets more textured and raw with knick-snapping hits and prying synth lines making for real turbulence. 'Twist Of Fate' is a jungle workout that ducks and dives on warped bass and 'Karmic Pattern' is a slow but textural and intense closer with rueful chords.

We’re beyond hyped to have the legendary @sunilsharpe stepping in for the latest SPND20 Mixtape!🔥

Sunil is known for his fast-paced, dynamic selections and a mixing style that’s truly one of a kind. With a career spanning decades, he’s made a name for himself as a true “turntable wizard,” producer, label owner, party organiser, radio host, and much more. Whether it’s on the decks at Bassiani, Berghain, Tresor, or running his own Earwiggle label, Sunil continues to push boundaries and represent the best of underground electronic music.

This mixtape is a journey through the many shades of techno—expect hard-hitting beats, funky, wonky rhythms, and seamless transitions that build up the tempo in Sunil’s signature style. With some fresh cuts mixed in with a few older gems, and everything from raw, industrial techno to acid, trippy/hypnotic vibes, and even some electro and jungle flavors to keep things unpredictable. This one is a must-listen for any techno lover. Recorded using his trusty Technics 1200 MK5G turntables, it’s the perfect mix of long, teasing blends and lightning-fast transitions.

Amplify Series 103 - Velvet May

upsammy - Strange Meridians [topo2-001]

a centrifugal spin collapses inward
sucked into the ground
vibrating with the quake beneath the crust
the folding repeats itself in time
an echo amid the buildings of a primordial era

with closed eyes
the shapes begin to take form
in the debris
objects clump together into conglomerates

a scream
trapped in water-retaining cells
the moss that embeds itself after
a short passage of time
you talk back
but I can’t hear you

something springs forth
somewhere

a remnant that remains

Biography: Marco Bruno is an artist who finds expression in the immersive world of electronic music. His journey began in the pulsating heart of Apulians local clubs in Southern Italy, where selecting records first connected him with music's transformative power. Over time, he expanded his creative repertoire to include artistic direction, label management and theatrical scoring. This dedication has earned him opportunities to showcase his work on prominent stages and platforms, including the prestigious TEDx events and the legendary Tresor club in Berlin where he made his live debut. His relentless pursuit of artistry extends into an expansive discography, transcending conventional genre boundaries to craft soundscapes brimming with emotion and innovation. With landmark releases on Helena Hauff's Return To Disorder, James Ruskin's Blueprint, and Ben Sims' venerated imprints Symbolism, Hardgroove, and Machine. His works also grace labels like Sunil Sharpe's Earwiggle, Truncate's imprint, Soma's electro-driven sub-label Avoidant, Jazz O Tech, and Tape Tales, each showcasing his unyielding versatility. At the forefront of his artistic legacy is the creation of Evighet, a label born from Marco’s passion for sonic storytelling and philosophical inquiry. Evighet transcends music, delving into the anthropology of human evolution and identity over time. The label serves as a canvas for bold, boundary-pushing collaborations, including contributions from luminaries like The Fear Ratio, and amplifies Marco’s vision of timeless, transformative electronic music. Evighet isn’t merely transcending an experience, it’s an invitation to journey into the depths of sound, where past and future intertwine, and the possibilities of self and music become infinite.
