DVS NME - Superluminal (TF39)

For the 31st installment of premieres on @DarkScienceElectro we take a listen to a track from a new compilation. The track selected features @Obergman & @Dr-Lindh for Latvian-based label @BlindAllies

This EP is mostly centered around Latvian producer -=UHU=- (with 5 of 6 tracks being produced by him alone or in tandem with others) however the standout track in my opinion was produced only by Luke Eargoggle and Obergman. Remindful of classic Dopplereffekt, this track contains modulated bass lines, creepy synth flourishes and a straight forward approach to percussive sounds with a TR-606. My favorite feature of the track is the use of space between the synth hits throughout the track. This vinyl is sure to please with 6 tracks of solid Electro. 

You can purchase the vinyl beginning on the 17th of September: https://www.juno.co.uk/products/uhu-kan3da-luke-eargoggle-rondo-obergman-mission/696555-01/

PREMIERE: Obergman & Luke Eargoggle - Press Play (Blind Allies)

For our next premiere on @DarkScienceElectro we will be checking out a track from one of my favorite contemporary labels pushing Electro music. @brokntoys is a five-year old label from London run by Anwar and this is their 24th vinyl release in their relatively short history, which has highlighted many of the best artists in Electro music today. 

Today we take a listen to a track from UK artist @Koova, who has been making music under the moniker for at least a decade. With releases on @Shameless-Toady, @Abstract_Forms, @CPUrecords, @CrobotMuzik and more. ‘Conducere’ presents the producer showcasing his personal take on the genre, with 4 tracks of tense, melodic Electro. The track selected to premiere is third track on the record and is entitled ‘Frustration’. The track was produced using a ton of modular gear for FX and drums as well as Juno 6, Korg Polysix, Prophet 12, Sequential Pro One for synths.  I love the track for it's simple (yet effective) bass line, dark melody and playful/understated arpeggio programming. This release comes highly recommended by me and is released on September 3rd.

PREMIERE: Koova - Frustration (brokntoys)

For our next premiere I’m happy to present a track from Australian producers Assembler Code and Jensen Interceptor from a new EP on @InternationalChrome

After a successful run of releases along-side @jensen-interceptor on labels such as @Cultivated-Electronics, @PrivatePersons & @BoysNoizeRecords, Assembler Code is flying solo with this 4 track Electro vinyl entitled 'Mental Escape'.

The track from this EP that was selected to debut for @DarkScienceElectro features his old partner in crime Jensen Interceptor coming on board for a 7-minute ride to open up the B-side of the record. 'Type 2' is a classic case of past meets present. Scrapyard industrial groove ready to destroy speakers at your next warehouse party. This track really shines with its use of classic Electro rhythms and lead arpeggios while still maintaining a mysterious vibe that is sure to please EBM, Industrial, Electro and Techno fans alike.

Our next premiere comes to us from Belgian producer @FabriceLig

Known mostly for his Techno productions, Fabrice has actaully been producing music since 1992 and shows no signs of slowing down. For this release, he has reached back into his catalog of music to put together a very special release that focuses on his early inspirations in Electro music. He grew up in the 70's with his father listening to Jean Michel Jarre & Kraftwerk but it wasn't until he discovered Electro music in the US from New York, Detroit and other inspiration like Prince as well as Zapp & Roger, that he started to produce the music you will hear on this release. Almost every track on this new release was produced prior to 1997 and used machines like Roland TR-909, 808, a TB-303, a SH-101 (his favorite synth), an Elka Synthex, a Moog Source, a VP 330, CR 8000, Pro One and a Juno 60. 

The track selected by @DarkScienceElectro to premiere is called 'You Don't Sleep' and features some of the classic sounds that you would expect to hear given the aforementioned pile of gear. Pulsing SH-101 bass lines, creepy Juno 60 pads and the VP-330 vocal reverberating throughout the song. This self-released album is available now on his Bandcamp page.

Our next @DarkScienceElectro premiere comes to us from French label @Ukonx Recordings. On this premiere we focus our attention on Swedish producer @The-Kretz

He has been producing music as @The-Kretz since 2012 and has been released on labels like @Anti-Gravity-Device, @Plonk-Label, @Battery-Park-Studio and more. The track selected by @DVSNME to premiere for @DarkScienceElectro is a  menacing Electro track featuring vocoded voices and dangerous melodies!

PREMIERE: Kretz - You Have To Pay (Ukonx Recordings)

Our next premiere has us looking toward the icy Nordic region of the globe to check out a new track by Finnish duo @Morphology-Electronics

After an amazing full-length album release earlier in 2018 (https://firescoperecords.bandcamp.com/album/traveller-fs011), these Electro-masters have delivered once again, only this time for a the third installment of the highly-successful 'From The Dark' compilation series via @Cultivated-Electronics. The track selected by @DarkScienceElectro to premiere is called 'Sentinel' and features exactly what you would expect from the duo in that it is pure quality from start to finish. The track opens with a distorted kick drum that sets the overall tone of the 5 minute track. Shortly thereafter, a slinky bass line, strings and Der Zyklus-style choir-hits take control of the song, bringing it to life. Ensoniq ESQ-1 and Korg Mono/Poly do the heavy lifting in this track with various other components like the Roland TR-606 for drums and Zwex Machine for effects processing. This track is but one of 8 tracks on the 3rd installment of this series that is available on the 14th of January via Clone worldwide distribution.

PREMIERE: Morphology - Sentinel (Cultivated Electronics)

For our next @DarkScienceElectro premiere, we take a look a recently released compilation from Croatian label @CrobotMuzik - For this premiere, I selected my favorite track from the staggering 66-track release, which was extremely difficult to do given the stiff competition. Ultimately I landed on the track by French producer @Commuter 

This song immediately caught my attention with it's modulating bass line, dramatic pad sounds and a beautiful lead synth that cuts the mix of the song in the most appropriate way. This track features a 135 BPM pace, great use of synths like Neutron, Bass Station 2, Model D as well as a wide variety of digital synths. The rhythm of this track is a custom kit put together using both digital and hardware elements like the TR-08 and various samples from Native Instruments and others. Regardless of how the song was created, it is a real standout amongst some serious giants on this compilation featuring the likes of: @amper-clap, @adj-808, @brettaffects, @dibu-z, @terensk, @fleckescofficial, @dj-xed, @henryhearse, @magikbitum, @dark-vektor, @pl-anet, @dr-siak, @sound-synthesis-official, @datawave, @t-error-5 and many, many, many more.

PREMIERE: Commuter - Fragmented (Crobot Muzik)

The next @DarkScienceElectro premiere comes to us all the way from the Scandinavian shores of Oslo, Norway. 

@Espen-T-Hangard has been producing music for more than 30 years and you would probably already know that if you were into Norwegian Metal, however, In the last 10 years he switched gears and now produces hardware-based Electronic music. His recently released debut album features 9 tracks drenched in analog synth goodness like TR-606, SH-101, CR-68, Jupiter 4, TB-303 and others. He told me that "Punching info into machines through convoluted and/or intuitive interfaces, emphasizing the limitations, finding quirks and weird features in different combinations of gear, etc, have all been a welcome relief from the guitar and the 'band' way of doing music." 

Some of his stated influences for this record include Drexciya, @Kraftwerk-1970-1973, @DMXKrew, @depeche_mode and AFX. He has already shared the stage with the likes of @Aphex-Twin-official and @Venetian-Snares and has no plans of slowing down with plans on releasing another album in February of 2019 which was recorded in the same session as the tracks on 'Primær'. The track selected to premiere for @DarkScienceElectro stood out to me for its paranoid vibe, pulsing bass and sweeping lead. Other standout tracks from the record include the infintely funky 'Zulu Crew 85' and the acid vibes contained on the track entitled 'Off-Centre'.

PREMIERE: Espen T. Hangård - Turbo (Galleberg Forlag)

@Varum is a young Leipzig-based DJ and Producer that is part of the @ClearMemory Crew who are a group of Electro-artists/DJ´s, label-operators in East-Germany). In 2017 he released a split EP with @jayoverdose on https://soundcloud.com/hypress/orphra-clipz-ep-snippets 

The track selected to premiere on @DarkScienceElectro is the dancefloor-ready bop entitled 'Blocks'. Staccato bass lines, rushing arpeggios and TR-606 hats make this a clear standout on this wax release. To me, it's almost like Outrun meets Electro, which doesn't seem so bad at all in this instance. @Varum has a formula for a kind of melody that is almost amnesia-inducing amongst the other tracks, yet maintains some intrigue throughout the 4-track release. He also produces some really neat, lo-fi, Jazzy, Hip-Hop type stuff as well that he gives away on https://varum.bandcamp.com/ - This record will become available in February.

He pumps out his scientific broken beats using only Ableton and this EP is a great example of how to use a digital audio workstation to create great music. The song selected to premiere by @DarkScienceElectro is the title track of the digital release and features 808 beats, a sustained bass line, staccato arpeggios and an eerie pad that washes over the track's 6 minute duration.

Our next @DarkScienceElectro premiere comes to us courtesy of San Francisco-based live act, DJ and producer @Sepehr-a with the 4-track release, mastered by scene veteran @RadioactiveMan. Known for his versatile sets which range from psychedelic Techno through to classical Acid, and with previous releases on respected San Francisco labels @DarkEntriesRecords and Residual, Sepehr continues to become one of San Francisco's most exciting talents. This release will be the first of a brand new label called EON Records, which is the purely Electro/Techno output of @afuturedimension.

The track selected by @DVSNME to premiere is the title track of the album called 'Cybernetic'. The overall feel of the track is straight-up Drexciyan without a doubt. From the shimmering, fast-moving hats to the droning pads and doom-inducing bass line, this track delivers on all fronts. Hypnotic arpeggios lines add to the mix creating a full-bodied 6-minute track that will get any dance floor moving.

PREMIERE: Sepehr - Cybernetic (EON Records)

This @DarkScienceElectro premiere comes to us from @96-Back via the one and only @CPUrecords. This Sheffield-based producer and son of a club promoter is dropping his debut LP on one of the best labels for Electro music today and, as you could imagine, it is absolute fire. The release itself certainly doesn't stay with one theme, moving quickly between ambient serenity and dance floor-aimed Electro tracks.

The selection picked to premiere for @DarkScienceElectro is the potent track 'Ghzel Tea'. The track starts off innocently enough, allowing a full minute of build-up before the beat drops. From there the track moves into steady arpeggios that are remindful of older AUX-88. Additionally, mixing multiple drum kits together adds to the flavor of the track, which is done quite a bit on the records. My favorite element of the track is the simple, yet effective, bass line which gives the song a rubbery feel that I simply loved. This record drops on March first and can be pre-ordered now below.

PREMIERE: 96 Back - Ghzel Tea (Central Processing Unit)

For this installment we revisit the Portugal-based label @DreamTicketRecordings for their second premiere on @DarkScienceElectro. This time around we check out an upcoming release from a producer with 25 years of production under his belt, @The-Wee-DJs

The track selected to premiere is the last track on the record called 'Upheld'. This track features fantastic, Detroit-inspired stroby bass-line, high-pitched arpeggios and a very straight forward approach to drum production. The standout thing about this track resides in the beautifully haunting pad work. This element of the track really caught my attention and added a much-needed element of ethereal charm to the track. @The-Wee-DJs told us that "It's all created digitally on a PC using Vaz Modular. I jam out long sections and eventually when I've got enough content I edit it into a track in Sound Forge."  This release will be out on March 20th.
