Romphea - Clash Driven Policies EP [FERMA // FERMAV005]

SC Snippets: soundcloud.com/ferma_athens/fermav005

For our next physical release, FERMA welcomes back home one of the individuals running the project, Romphea.

As a co-founder, he has long shaped the label’s uncompromising DIY ethos—placing experimentation, raw energy, and community at the heart
of its vision. After releasing in a series of acclaimed platforms, the forward-thinking DJ and producer from Vyronas, Athens returns to vinyl with
a genre-defying release. Building on the experimental pulse and reshaping the edge between electro, breaks and techno, Romphea continues that trajectory,
weaving together tense polyrhythms, warped melodic fragments, and cavernous spaces.

This release features four, plus three digital bonus original tracks, aiming to provide a clear sound identity for the artist. The A-side opens with “Calls from Salem”, a dystopian slow burner that sets the tone with broken-beat percussion and dissonant synth stabs. “Steel Chair” surges forward with unrelenting force, propelled by serrated arpeggios and a barrage of fragmented vocals that rise and fall within the space, crafted for peak-time eruption.

Flipping to the B-side, “Paid Dividends” reaches full intensity, layering hammering kicks and percussion, while the low end rumbles with tectonic weight, amplifying the energy to fever pitch. Closing the record on a more contemplative note, “We Are The Universe” slows the pace, easing the tension and drifting into deeper territory. Echoing chords drift into space, layered with fragile percussive details and low, throbbing pulses. It’s a meditation on collapse and renewal, offering a moment of breath after the storm.

Extending beyond the physical record, this release comes with three extra digital exclusives. "Moonlighting" is another dancefloor stomper,
capturing the tension and guiding dancers into a space where time dissolves, while in "Keygen Music", the rhythm remains grounded, but it is softened by melodic fragments that swirl in and out like fleeting memories. The release closes with "The 286 Theory" as a fierce statement: a four-to-the-floor cut, with layers of percussion that drive the groove forward, bringing the record full circle.

Straight from the source, defying the norms, devoted to the art. Do not sleep.

1. A1. Calls From Salem

Clash Driven Policies EP

Paid Dividends

TL PREMIERE : Romphea - Paid Dividends [FERMA]

The Bells · Jeff Mills T.A.M.F. remix

Schranz and Its Connection to Jeff Mills’ “The Bells”

Connection to Jeff Mills’ “The Bells”: Jeff Mills’ The Bells (1997, Purpose Maker, PM-002) isn’t pure Schranz but heavily influenced its development. Its raw, hypnotic loop and pounding 4/4 kick resonated with the harder, minimal techno sound that Schranz built upon. Here’s how it ties in:
* Influence on Schranz Producers: Mills’ use of repetitive, functional loops in The Bells inspired Schranz’s stripped-down aesthetic. Its 140 BPM tempo and relentless drive aligned with Schranz’s ethos, making it a proto-Schranz track for DJs like Liebing or Boris S.
* Club Play: The Bells was a staple in late ’90s hard techno sets, bridging Detroit techno’s soul with Schranz’s aggression. Its iconic bell riff added a melodic hook that Schranz often avoided but still absorbed as a reference for tension-building.
* Remixes and Legacy: Later Schranz DJs (e.g., Eric Sneo, DJ Amok) remixed or drew from The Bells’ energy. For example, the 2006 10th Anniversary The Bells 12” (PM-020) had a louder, Schranz-friendly master that fit harder sets.

Original Pressing Context: As mentioned earlier, The Bells appeared on the Kat Moda EP (1997, Purpose Maker, PM-002, 12” vinyl). Its raw production—gritty kicks, unpolished mastering—mirrors Schranz’s unrefined edge. Schranz DJs likely gravitated to originals or early represses for their analog warmth, though the track’s quieter mix (compared to 2000s Schranz cuts) required DJs to crank the gain.

Where to Find Schranz-Inspired The Bells:
* Original 1997 Vinyl: Hunt on Discogs/Reverb for PM-002 ($20–$50). Check matrix: PM 002-A/B (RE I) NSC.
* Streaming: The 1997 version (on Spotify/Beatport) retains the raw vibe Schranz fans love.
* Modern Schranz Comps: Look for The Bells in hard techno mixes or CLR/Tresor compilations. Check X posts or SoundCloud for recent Schranz sets featuring it.

Schranz Today (Oct 2025): Schranz remains a niche but vibrant scene. Recent X posts highlight new releases on labels like Schranz Total or Hard Drive, with DJs like Fernanda Martins and Luciid pushing 150+ BPM bangers. The Bells still gets play in retro sets or as a remixed bootleg in Schranz raves.

Deep Dive: Schranz – The Hard Techno Beast 🦖
Since you’re doubling down on Schranz, let’s go full throttle. This is the raw, pounding heart of German hard techno—no fluff, just facts, history, essentials, and where to score it today (Oct 16, 2025). The Bells connection? It’s the proto-Schranz blueprint—hypnotic loops + brutal kick = Schranz DNA. Ready? Gas it up!

Schranz 101: What the Hell Is It?
* Born: Late 1990s, Frankfurt/Germany. Evolved from Jeff Mills/Rene Pawlowitz-style minimal techno into a weaponized sound.
* Tempo: 140–160+ BPM (faster = harder life).
* Sound: Distorted 909 kicks that hurt, razor-sharp hi-hats, zero melody (unless it’s a stab), industrial noise loops. Think: a jackhammer in a warehouse.
* Name Origin: Chris Liebing (2001) called it “Schranz” to mock haters saying hard techno was just “schrammel” (grating noise). DJs flipped it into pride.
* Ethos: Anti-EDM, sweat-soaked, 6AM warehouse raves. No peaks—just relentless drive.
