Electronic Propaganda #17

Mike Stern - Electronic Propaganda #17

It's quite common for a record company to have a margin of freedom to operate with several styles, as long as all of them are represented within the same approach. In the case of 30D Records, everything revolves around science fiction and sound innovation, the platform is a network of subsidiaries with quite specific functions, each one has a task, and all together they blend in perfectly as a single project.

This orientation towards futuristic or experimental sounds appears in different forms on each sub-label of 30D Records. We can identify their sound as cosmic because of the direct relationship of 30 Drop itself with this type of textures, but this description is not graphic enough to encompass all the content of this platform. Eyes Have It for example is a sub-label in which the experimental sound is redirected to a dark environment, with sequences and structures of the industrial one. But the industrialist himself is a genre that has undergone infinite mutations over these four decades. Today it no longer has anything to do with the transgressive ode of post-punk, this aesthetic degeneration is completely extinct, but its passage has left an enormous legacy and variations that have affected different musical currents. 

Love Crucified is the ninth release published by 30D ExoPlanets, one of the 5 branches of 30D Records. In this case the industrialist is presented with less harshness and obscurantism. Its author is Irazu and in a very simple way he manages to corroborate that currently this genre suffers from a severe multiple identity behaviour.

The EP opens with the homonymous track, a cut in which all the elements develop together a kind of hypnotic effect that surely in an individual way they would not cause. Firstly because of the percussive structure, which is only supported by the figure of the semiquaver and without any kind of accent, avoiding any kind of rhythmic condition, although joined to the tension produced by the arpeggiated melody and the growing atmosphere of soft chords, it ends up provoking a narcotic sensation. With After Beaten, Irazu takes you to a static stage, with a techno that is very reminiscent of the end of the last century, with a constant rhythm and oscillating textures. The third cut is a version of Love Crucifed which the author himself has subtitled "Yelling Meltdown", and in which he completely transforms the track into a more industrialised context, with patterns more in line with EBM. Cal Rosal closes the EP with another acoustic variation, with a deeper sound full of details that appear sporadically from the abyss.

Release date: December 11th, 2020.

DECENNIUM07 - Tasha b2b Cressida (Neighbourhood, VOITAX, Natural Selection)

Bringing in another firm injection of fierce Techno into our DECENNIUM series, we bring you an exclusive, rare b2b between our good friend Tasha and our long-standing resident Cressida.

A close friendship between Tasha and Cressida (Jena) was forged out of their heavy involvement in the London underground Techno scene for the best part of 10 years. Throughout this time many collaborations have occurred, affiliations / releases with the same labels and sharing DJ booths in London and all over Europe. This b2b mix for our DECENNIUM series was recently recorded on one of Tasha's frequent trips to her 2nd home Berlin, where Jena now permanently resides.

Tasha founded London heavyweight label Neighbourhood in 2016 after it started out as a night / party in 2010. She deserves huge respect for her hard work, passion and dedication to the London scene. As well as pushing Neighbourhood hard for the last 10 years, she has played at least a hundred sets from as far back as 2004 and has earned reputable status as a DJ, both in the Techno world but also as a Drum n Bass DJ, regularly featuring in the London circuit for the likes of Renegade Hardware and Rupture.

Heavily affiliated with the mighty Ilian Tape and our close family FOLD London, it was at the legendary 24-hr Ilian Tape party where we first had the pleasure of meeting Tasha and since then our co-founder Kodah has featured alongside her on the lineup for FOLD's UNSTREAM earlier this year and shortly after we finally asked Tasha to play for Natural Selection at our 10 year milestone live stream last month, playing a memorable b2b set with FOLD co-founder and NS resident Voicedrone.

Our long term resident Cressida was a regular feature of our first night’s in London when we first came down here in 2012, and he has since become a notable force in London and Berlin, releasing on heavyweight labels such as VOITAX, Monnom Black, Diffuse Reality and Krill. We had the pleasure of reuniting with Cressida in August last year when we flew him over for our colossal 16-hr Rave at FOLD, playing an unforgettable set in the daylight hours with the sun piercing through FOLD's infamous shutters. Jena was in good company alongside Regis, Kamikaze Space Programme, DJ T-1000 aka Alan Oldham, DJ Skull, Versalife, Morphology, to name a few. 

We hope you enjoy the pure madness in this mix as much as we did.
