After years of hard work and constant activity, SOJ has managed to build a platform with a fairly specialised and recognisable sound, which is also created in its own image and likeness. The style of Soil Records fits perfectly with the creative idea of its head, and this is not at all generalised, it is not enough to say that the label sounds like electro and EBM with low fidelity sound treatments, to affirm that Soil Records has its own sound, which we can link to the figure of SOJ, means that every detail, every harmonic conjugation and every texture that appears in its tracks or in its releases faithfully oozes the essence of this project.

The next album to be released on this label defines this reasoning very well, and it is not a homogeneous work, as each track adopts its own character and uses different sound sources. Dark Rituals is the debut release from Greek producer Alpha Sect on Soil Records, the solo project of George McCall, an artist who divides his musical facet between the post-punk influences of Alpha Sect and also as a member of the alternative post-rock band Sleestream. 

Dark Rituals is a release in which strong rhythmic bases prevail, both syncopated and binary, which share the limelight with the majesty of melodies created from minor keys. All these aspects, together with the harshness of its sound, determine a set of attributes that clearly identify the style of Soil Records and the intentions of Alpha Sect to create a sinister and hypnotic environment, very much in accordance with the concept of the album.

Dark Rituals is released on vinyl and cassette formats, and also features notable collaborations with artists such as France's Valérie Hendrich, who provides vocals on "Résister Pour Exister", and remixers Trenton Chase, Sydney Valette, Filmmaker, Opioid Slot Machine, R Gamble and Ne Re A.

Release date: November 27th, 2021.

Cititrax is proud to present a four song debut solo EP by the Hacker’s new project called Amato. Influenced by early EBM, German techno and new wave, Michel Amato aka The Hacker began producing tracks under his new moniker Amato in 2014. The first one to be released, called Physique, came out in 2015 on the Cititrax Tracks Volume One EP and was a dancefloor success. On this forthcoming EP, entitled “Le Desordre et La Nuit”, Amato integrates his love of the new wave to form four ebm tinged techno funk hits. Very dancefloor friendly, these tracks take pop elements reminiscent of Belgian body music and bring them to the present day. Amato shines as a producer here, as he has so many times before. It’s an absolute honor for us to release this debut project. Artwork is sourced from photographs taken in NYC in the 1980s with layout by Veronica Vasicka. The release is limited to 999 copies pressed on 160 gram silver vinyl, and accompanied by jackets printed on matte heavyweight cardstock. Release date: July 13, 2016.

Spoiled Drama - This Is Our Mission

Spoiled Drama reemerges exhibiting their darker side on “This is Our Mission”, their debut on the label embodiment of Berlin’s Fleisch collective. The five track EP exhibits a unique range and dexterity, blurring lines between the realms of techno, EBM, acid and electro with a touch of maladjusted pop and post-punk. From the anxious beat and shimmering tones of “Another Death Experience” to the ritualistic war drums and heavily distorted vocals of “Kisses Are Out of Fashion”, expect to feel dizzied, unnerved, yet beckoned to move. The eponymous track closes out the EP in an undeniably Drexciyan fashion, low-pitched vocals emerging from watery depths in lush sweeping pads and dissonant melodies. A mission accomplished with style.

Years of Denial - In Pain I Meditate

“Greyhounds Revenge” depicts the image of an overworked and underloved greyhound dog, forced to race lap after lap for the greedy gamblers in the stands up above. When the canine snaps, breaks down, and demands retribution from years of abuse. With a fast-paced bassline, metallic-marinated kickdrums, and an eerily haunting synth line, one can only imagine the eery yet satisfying act of the greyhound chomping with a vengeance into the face of their malevolent masters.

Rudiment ft. Negetive Datura - F.U.N [Up North Records]

The 17th release of the label belongs to the electronic producer Oliver. Born from within the UK capital’s neglected walls and spaces, the project was formed around an intersection between Post-Punk, EBM, Darkwave, Industrial Techno and Rave. Building a loyal following throughout the London rave circuit, Oliver established his name through his high-energy sets capable of moving any dancefloor. "Knuckle Love" - debut EP with EBM tracks and the characteristic Goth wave sound. Tunes sound complex: powerful cathedral reefs of synthesizers, industrial energy and the roars of the drum machines. 4 Original Tracks are accompanied by a massive remixes by Lander - new electro project from Jerome Tcherneyan (Years of Denial) and Claus Fuss (Oneoneone); Filmmaker (Opal Tapes).
