[ SECOND TENSION ]
 
Second Tension is a project by Stavros Tilkeridis, a Greek artist and DJ. Stavros started creating music back in the early nineties, with next to no access to the outside world. 

He started with tape loops, not too dissimilar to those by Pierre Schaffer, and got his hands on his first sampler, Mpc 2000xl, by the late nineties. Stavros was introduced to rave culture in the early two-thousands and experimented his way through them, using his music to search for a deeper, hidden meaning. 

He started Second Tension in 2016 as an attempt to capture a progressive spirit in electronic music, combining primitive and industrial aesthetics. With 2 EPs and an LP, Second Tension has been released on labels such as Persephonic Sirens, OSM Tapes, Clan Destine and Monolith.

鬼面 : GWI MYEON PODCAST 036 SECOND TENSION

For the 6th episode, we welcome Paris-based producer, DJ and live act @substencia with the recording of her live performance at our July's event in Brussels. She fuses the most delightful industrial techno with ominous and transcendental dark ambient - cinematic lullabies and noise-collages get along with destructive drum patterns for the sake of her obscure knowledge.
Substencia regularly shares her passion for music across France and has performed at parties and festivals such as Château Perché and FIFIB in Bordeaux, as well as iconic clubs in Europe, including Tresor in Berlin, Elipamanoke in Leipzig and Moog in Barcelona.

Artist: Eve Schwarz feat. Dolgener
Title: 'Coping Mechanism'
Label: Mutant Modality
Cat. #: MM001
Format: Digital
Release: 3rd February,​ ​2025
Pre order: https://mutantmodality.bandcamp.com/album/coping-mechanism

Sounds From NoWhere is pleased to premiere a new Eve Schwarz' track remixed by Liza Aikin on 'Mutant Modality'.

BOOM ! We are kicking off 2025 in dark and noisy territories with our new release series. 
The 1st offering is “Coping Mechanism” a collaborative project stemming from the original track of EVE SCHWARZ - bringing along the gritty soundscapes of Berlin noise and industrial techno scenes into a mechanical forward-thinking ammunition of devastating rhythms, featured by Canadian noise-engineer DOLGENER, here on menacing vocals duties recalling the darker overlaps between industrial metal and power electronics. 
A very unique collaboration between these two. 
And because the party started oh so well already, we both agreed to invite more friends from Berlin - this is why Tresor resident LIZA AIKIN and Hands label affiliate TEMPLER joined the mission, respectively with some very personal reinterpretations of bleak, hypnotizing and rhythm-focused compositions. 
Liza Aikin presents a four-on-the-floor military-like dancefloor wormhole while Templer strikes with his harsh syncopated drum signature. 
As drips of sweat start to rain below the rusty ceilings, you can hear Paris-based producer/dj SUBSTENCIA remix with her eerie dark ambient-layered technoid aesthetic. 
But while for some “the party never ends”, here we reasonably decided to close this opus with Mutant Modality founder and Brussels-based artist, OTTOMAN GRÜW conveying a very personal “vocal remix” filled with atmospheric chaos, a Techno-EBM dancefloor banger for the dystopian goth club.

Title: 'Inanis'

Release: 7th April,​ ​2025

Sounds From NoWhere is pleased to premiere a new Pierre Berge-Cia' track remixed by Daniel Myer on 'Mutant Modality'.

We're back again! This time with an artist whose emotional depth struck a powerful chord with us: Pierre-Berge Cia. 
On UNKNOWN BODY FEEDBACK, Pierre delivers a visceral sonic exploration through voice, guitar and electronics, drawing from the raw energy of EBM, the atmospheric depths of 90’s electronica, while seamlessly merging these elements into dissonant technoid structures on the verge of collapse. 
And for remix duties? We’ve got some heavy-hitting material from an incredible lineup of guests.

Kicking things off, we have the renowned German electronic artist Daniel Myer. 
With a career that stretches across more than two decades, Daniel has made a significant impact on a variety of genres like industrial, electro or IDM — and has worked alongside legends such as Depeche Mode, Front 242. 
His work spans multiple aliases, including Haujobb, Architect, and his latest venture, Rendered.

Next, we’re excited to feature Second Tension, a project from Greek producer and Persephonic Sirens affiliate Stavros Tilkeridis. 
With nearly 30 years of experience, Stavros has traversed everything from loop-based composition in the vein of Pierre Schaeffer to spiritual, psychedelic, and ambient music, ultimately shaping the dark, mystical techno sound he’s known for today.

We’re thrilled to welcome back Maze DK, a Polish DJ and producer now based in Berlin. 
Her crafts merge experimental, techno and EBM with haunted, factory-like atmospheres. 
The word “industrial” is a mere euphemism here. 
An active member of the community, Maze DK collaborates with queer-feminist collectives, including High Queer and Golosa where she holds a residency.

Finally, Seoul-based Purusha brings her signature blend of driving dark rhythms and experimental textures. 
She has carved out a unique niche in Eastern Asia and beyond, notably through her involvement with Volnost Club and the GwyMyeon music label — two projects whose subversive spirit holds a special place in our hearts.
