Belgian artist B1980 returns to Zone with a rugged four tracker designed to rip up the dance floor.
B1980 is respected producer and musician Bert Libeert and is best known as the drummer of
electro-rock band GOOSE. This project sees him focus on his love of EBM and techno with influences
taken from new beat and Belgian legends like Front242. His aim is to bring the spontaneity of live music
back to clubs, armed with just two synths and two drum machines. Says the artist, "music is not all
about technique or knowledge, it’s about expressing your personality and style." He sure backs that up
here.
'Quiet Confidence' opens in blistering style with jacked up drums and a warped bassline. Steely
textures and twitchy synths bring the twisted electro-techno track alive as the tension bubbles and
boils throughout. 'Hooded Figure' is a more straight up banger with lashings of synth peeling off the
groove, eerie pads and brain-frying bass all working the dance floor into a state of chaos. 'Modeling
Minds' slows things down to a predatory and heavyweight crawl, with spangled synth patterns and
supersized hi hats all conveying an epic sense of battle to come. The visceral closer is 'Body Dancer'
with its sheet metal drums, yearning vocal cries and stiff bass loops all making for a macho and moody
sound.
These are brilliantly muscular yet musical tracks that bring real terror to the dance floor.

Tracklist:
01 Quiet Confidence
02 Hooded Figure
03 Modeling Minds
04 Body Dancing

Black Light Smoke fuses techno, EBM and post-punk on his Brain Dead EP, backed with a remix from Alessandro Adriani.

Black Light Smoke combines weighty drums and analog synths on four tracks with a common thread: the use of his own warped vocals. From the cowbell rhythms and suspenseful pads of ‘Brain Dead’ to the hard-hitting bleeps of ‘Nailed to the Ground’, he infuses his tracks with a rare character, quality and flair. The release also comes with a remix from Mannequin Records boss Alessandro Adriani, whose expertise sees him turn ‘Machines Don’t Love’ into a staggering EBM track.

Daytime Emmy-winning producer and songwriter Jordan Lieb aka Black Light Smoke has racked up releases on Scissor & Thread, Voodoo Down, Nein Records and his own Death Decay Magic. Known for his world-renowned sets featuring live vocals and his productions both in- and outside of electronic music, he’s undoubtedly an artist in a class of his own.

Tracklist:

01 Brain Dead
02 Earthquake
03 Machines Don’t Love
04 Nailed To The Ground
05 Machines Don’t Love (Alessandro Adriani Remix)

DynArec channels Detroit musical history through his own French perspective on a superb new EP for Zone.
Despite making music since 1994, DynArec didn’t release any of it until a decade later. It landed on cult techno label Delsin and since then he has honed in on his own brand of Drexcyian electro over the course of EPs and LPs that have been supported by giants such as Laurent Garnier and Dave Clarke. Here his tough beats but heartfelt harmonies shine through once more.
First out of the blocks is ‘Toi_Moi’ with well swung drums run through by frazzled bass. Tinny metal hits and a dehumanised vocal bring the heat as the whole thing builds to a tense and frantic peak that will blow up the club. The excellent ’Archeologist Assassin’ is a much more twisted and freeform track with hard hitting drums and prickly synths making for a turbulent trip.
It is next cut ‘Target De Down’ that is the most frenetic, with its whirring stabs and machine gun lasers whipping up a real storm on the floor. Bringing a tripped out and off-kilter vibe is ‘Focussed’ with its crashing hits, incessant bass and popping keys all jerking you into action.
This is tense, industrial tinged electro that is perfect for strobe lit club settings.

Zone welcomes CT Kidobó to the label this February, as he prepares to release the first instalment of
‘Impulse & Inhibition’.
Budapest-based DJ and producer CT Kidobó has been experimenting with electronic music for the last
decade, releasing early material on Molecule’s Mille Feuilles imprint under his Das Model moniker and
gaining support from the likes of Laurent Garnier, Jimmy Edgar and Arnaud Rebotini. The last few years
have seen his CT Kidobo project appear on the likes of Earth Plates and Dalmata Daniel with an obviously
growing appetite for his uniquely evocative productions. As a DJ his reputation is ever expanding and in his
native Hungary he has shared the stage with the like of Kevin Saunderson, Cardopusher, Textasy and
Gnork.
Now CT Kidobo joins forces with the ever-excellent Zone label from Paris for a four track Ep orientated
around a laidback, daytime sound, with plans for a darker, ‘sounds of the night’ chapter planned for the
months ahead. The electrifying opener ‘Bipolar’ is a deep and alluring affair, fueled by bright synth lines,
warm bass sequences and enchanting vocals, which all come together for this uplifting gem. Next up, ‘Death
of Postmodernism’ lowers the tempo and pairs distorted frequencies with sparkling effects and hypnotic
percussion. ‘Paris’ unveils a nostalgic driven slice of electronic music, as we see CT Kidobó work euphoric
chords against brooding electro rhythms and blissful sonics. To close, the cutting edge ‘Vertigo’ is an
infectious and exhilarating cut which showcases yet another side to his diverse and extensive sound.
CT Kidobo’s ‘Impulse & Inhibitions - Part 1’ drops on Zone on 18th February.
