For the debut digital EP on Viscera Transmissions, Komodo spreads his wings and takes his signature low slung psychedelica to the stars, to reap destruction on extraterrestrial dancefloors across the cosmos.

Title track Mirror Claws begins an ember in the desert, slowly stoked by guitar chord stabs and eerie screeches towards a slow yet inevitable psychedelic inferno.

For Night Crawler, the guitar steps back into co-pilot role as the acid bass takes the saddle, spurring the squelch dragon off into the void with a crack of the 303 whip.

Next up is Vanquished Angst with a dubby desert rock workout. Blazing guitar solos tear across the sky like thunderbolts whilst the hypnotic bassline and guitar progression burn through the dunes.

On the flip, Jonny Rock re-dubs the dub with his Vanquished Angst Dragon Remix. No slightly questionable guitar metaphors here, instead, a mind melting whirlpool of spiraling percussion, vocal quips, bass throbs and pads form a completely bonkers but brilliant piece.

Last but certainly not least, Chez de Milo arms Night Crawler with some serious ordnance. After changing up the beat pattern with a breaksy kick, electro warheads are ago, clearing the way for the original 303 line to cruise through. Heavy!

Credits: Thanks to Komodo for the amazing music in support of our new label, Jonny Rock & Chez de Milo for the delicious remixes, James Savage for the incredible masters, Kirsty Carrington for the gorgeous illustration and to Jessica Lau for digital design.

For the debut vinyl EP on Viscera Transmissions, Manami embarks on an interplanetary voyage to distant moons. Let her distinct, melodic style bathe you in a dreamy celestial glow.

Eventide In Orbit cruises across the star-shot horizon. An era spanning blend of ambient techno and melodic trance trailing lofty astral tones, before warping into 303 hyperspace.

Afterburners roaring, our voyage brings us to Interaxial, exploring the weightier side of Manami’s sound. Evoking images of an interplanetary battle, laser synth barrages flash across the skies of this heads down techno thumper.

On the flip side, Overture One prepares for docking protocols, slowly drifting on cosmic winds back towards the ambient mothership. Pulsating synth wobbles take the helm and ride the driving baseline into the sunset.

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of the known cosmos, Adam Pits ignites an extra-terrestrial dancefloor with his aptly titled ‘Stomp’ remix of Overture One. Alien booties shake to a breakbeat tip before morphing into a squelchy cosmic slugger. Tentacles head skyward for Adam’s mind altering sound. Heavy as!

Matt Cowell & Reefe Murphy, Radio Vilnius - January 13th  2023

An EP of limbo-inducing squelch courtesy of our good friends Latrec aka Andy Bainbridge and Serious Hots, ft. techno flavoured remixes from Bristolian pal Remotif & our very own Matt Cowell & Johnny Aux as The W.C. Enjoy. 

In the furthest reaches of the cosmos, the intergalactic community gathers for the annual Kutika Limbo finals. 

Reigning champion Latrec draws the first straw and the percussion rolls excitedly as he steps up to the pole. Kutika glides lithely under the bar, tentacles wobbling to the acid rhythm. He celebrates his victory as the crowd chants in a glitchy alien dialect. “Kutika-tika-tika-tika!” 

Second in line, Latrec’s younger brother Dub Mix steps up for his first limbo. Shorter and stockier than his brother, we don’t know what to expect from this one. Once again the percussion rolls, the crowd gasps as his squidgy exoskeleton melts before their eyes, reforming on the other side of the bar - ‘blooooop’. The crowd goes wild “Kut-Kut!” 

Next up is The W.C. Events take a strange turn as they forgo the competition, instead they walk to the stage to sweep the band aside, hijacking control of the instruments. Heavy percussive hits twist spacetime with material melting bass throbs. The crowd goes wild as the fabric of reality collapses around them.  

Last but by no means least is Remotif, a techno unit resembling a giant cluster of biceps stands staring at the limbo pole, chaos erupting around him. The tempo of the percussion rises in anticipation and acid thunder roars in the background. Remotif picks up the bar, blinks, and hurls it off into the furthest reaches of the galaxy never to be seen again. 

Credits: Astronomical thanks to Latrec for the amazing music in support of our new label, Remotif and The W.C. for the delicious remixes, James Savage for the incredible masters, Edward Tuckwell for the stunning artwork, Margo Broom for mix consultancy on The W.C. remix and to Jessica Lau for the beautiful graphic design.

Matt Cowell - Princess P & Cio Monthly Show [06.12.2023]

Matt Cowell is the co founder of longstanding web zine meets label Viscera as well as a resident of London based party Optick.

Having been heavily involved in electronic music for many years he has fronted several parties and become a familiar face in the East end of the city having moved to the big smoke from the coast a few years back.

He brought with him a cheeky smile and a record bag full of exquisite House and Techno which demonstrates a depth and maturity in the dance.

A keen champion of friends and a familiar face front left, his taste is broad and eclectic, lending itself perfectly to deeper, longer sets of which he has become a stalwart of as a resident for Ransom Note.

This mix demonstrates a deep rooted knowledge in respect to selection – weaving its way through a number of key moments and creating a cathartic well rounded soundtrack which few DJ’s are able to achieve.

Dark, deep and trippy; Ukrainian producer shjva takes us on a voyage to the centre of reality.

A mysterious craft drifts dormant through the void. Glitchy breaks and twinkly synths blink into motion as systems initialise, preparing for the final approach to the Metazone.

Polycaste engines throb in the background whilst control panels bleep rhythmically, trippy arps ensue.

The craft lurches into motion, astral synths flash by the viewing port as the bassline sunders reality. You Must Let it Go.

Final approach to the Metazone, Eversines remix. Instruments spin and bleepy wildly. Dark 303s distort spacetime. The craft grinds to a halt.

We have arrived.

Our VTD digital series seems to have naturally gravitated towards darker tones more suited for the late night, and we’re really happy to continue that theme with this this release which is deep, trippy and cerebral in equal parts.

It will be accompanied by a super limited run of 10 physical copies, on a first come, first served basis.

Joyous and bright, Mehr Phett evokes a coconut flavoured sunrise on a distant desert island.

Skilfully intertwining modern drum programming with retroistic instrumentation, Feuerwerk der Rhythmen is a guided tour through the eras of house music and beyond.

Subcutaneous Dance is a whirlpool of interwoven synthesiser melodies. Submarine LFOs guaranteed to get underneath the dermal layer.
