Fractions - Tension [NRG001]

OMEN Recordings is proud to present its latest Various Artists (VA) compilation, 'Rituals,' an evocative collection that delves deep into the primal, the hypnotic, and the uncanny. This release promises to take listeners on a journey through the diverse landscapes of modern techno, each track an offering to the ritualistic essence of the dance floor. Featuring six exceptional artists, each with a distinct sonic identity, 'Rituals' is a testament to the label's commitment to pushing boundaries and exploring the depths of electronic music.

'Kopfschmerzen' by INCREASED CONTROL opens the compilation with its robotic, razor-like synths and twisted drum patterns, this track is a sonic assault, challenging the listener with its intensity. It's a dark, industrial soundscape that evokes images of dystopian futures and relentless machinery.

'Far Cry' by FAIRGROUND OF TEARS continues with an immersive soundscape that is both hypnotic and atmospheric. This track is a ceremonial invocation, weaving layers of ethereal pads with a pulsating undercurrent that transports the listener into a trance-like state. Its ritualistic vibe sets the tone for the auditory journey that follows.

Next, ADAREN's 'Kill The Scene' shifts gears with a driving pace that propels the compilation forward. This track is a relentless techno anthem, marked by its pounding bassline and intricate percussive elements. The energy is palpable, designed to dominate the dance floor and incite movement, capturing the raw, unyielding spirit of the underground.

'Zeal' by RHYTHM MODULATION takes the listener into a realm of eerie dissonance. The track is characterized by its creepy, discordant elements, weaving a web of tension and suspense. It's a masterclass in atmosphere, building an unsettling yet captivating aura that grips the listener from start to finish.

JANA GREENSTONE's 'Ascension' brings a unique twist to the compilation with its offbeat rhythm and unconventional structure. The track's intricate layers and unexpected turns create a sense of ascension and elevation, as if rising above the physical plane into a higher state of consciousness. It's a cerebral experience that invites introspection and deeper listening.

Closing the compilation, RYNZLER's 'Alea Iacta Est' is a powerful statement of intent. This drone-heavy, buzzy techno track is both imposing and meditative, blending dense textures with a steady, hypnotic rhythm. The title, meaning 'The die is cast,' signifies a point of no return, encapsulating the decisive and transformative nature of the entire compilation.

'Rituals' is a profound exploration of the varied expressions within techno, each track contributing to a cohesive narrative that is as introspective as it is dance-inducing. Omen Recordings continues to champion innovative and boundary-pushing music, solidifying its place at the forefront of the techno scene. This release is a must-have for those seeking to experience the deeper, darker, and more mystical facets of electronic music.

INCREASED CONTROL - Kopfschmerzen

We are proud to present Biochemical Metamorphosis by artist OCD as the final release on Noise Manifesto for the foreseeable future. 


OCD is Chiara R., who we got to know at the queer parties of Gegen. Always impressing us with her delivery of the darker sounds of techno we love so much, it was obvious we needed to invite Chiara to Noise Manifesto. This EP was made during Chiara’s journey, starting from her cancer diagnosis and completed just after her final chemo treatment. This EP is a testament to the courage it takes to face life's challenges and emerge stronger on the other side.


Here is OCD in her own words:

This EP is a raw exploration of my journey through chemotherapy. Each track serves as a sonic snapshot of the emotions I felt during this challenging period. From the initial anticipation of the unknown, leading to feelings of despair and finally to the emergence of newfound strength to overcome cancer, this collection of tracks offers a deeply personal and honest account of my experiences. 

The progression through the EP, together with the artwork created in collaboration with artist Feo Melanin, reflects the increasing severity of the treatment and the psychological toll it took. The palette of reds is a direct reference to the chemotherapy medications I endured, while the abstract shapes represent this transformative process. This is more than just a collection of tracks; it is a personal narrative and a cathartic release.

About EP:
This album represents a significant evolution in the musical journey of Nick Viola, transitioning from the powernoise and heavy industrial sounds of his previous project, Fractured Transmission, into a techno-framed landscape. Spanning seven tracks, including remixes, the album features recurring sounds sourced from machinery, field recordings, and personal travels. These elements create an uneasy atmosphere oscillating between slight discomfort and absolute dread, offering a dystopian sonic experience fitting for the times we unfortunately live in. 

The opening track, 'A Ghost in Your World,' sets an intense tone with distorted atmospheres and 'It's Still Real' follows with a relentless pulse and swirling mechanical sounds, seamlessly flowing into Kenny Campbell's remix of 'A Ghost In Your World', providing a cathartic release for the A side.

'Drop Out,' guides listeners on a psychedelic journey into the B side of the record, while 'Negative Nancy' ramps up the energy with an aggressive industrial techno assault offering an antagonistic jab at the current trend within the genre. Substencia's remix of “Drop Out” delves deeper into psychedelia, offering an immersive trance-like experience relieving the tension of “Negative Nancy”.

The digital-only bonus track, 'Tensor,' maintains the album's heavy industrial techno feel of a well oiled machine, ready to pummel any underground sound system.


About Artist:
Nick Viola is a versatile electronic music producer known for his distinctive blend of industrial and techno music, drawing inspiration from a wide range of influences spanning from the gritty sounds of powernoise to the pulsating energy of techno.

Born and raised in Los Angeles,  Nick began his musical journey immersed in the industrial club scene, where he cut his teeth performing at the legendary Los Angeles industrial club Das Bunker. Here, he honed his craft and developed a deep appreciation for the raw, aggressive textures of industrial music. As the driving force behind the project Fractured Transmission, he made a name for himself with his uncompromising approach to power and rhythmic noise, earning recognition for his intense live performances and relentless sonic assaults.

However, Nick was always drawn to the rhythms and sounds of techno, and in a bold move, he embarked on a new chapter in his musical career, transitioning from the abrasive sounds and rhythms of powernoise to recontextualizing those sounds into a more techno landscape. With this album, “A Ghost In your World”, he showcases his evolution as an artist, seamlessly blending the industrial aesthetics of his past with the pulsating energy and frame of techno.

Spanning six tracks, “A Ghost In Your World” is a sonic journey through dark, dystopian landscapes and pulsating dance floors, where distorted atmospheres and mechanical rhythms collide to create a mesmerizing and immersive experience. From the haunting textures of "A Ghost in Your World" to the relentless energy of "Negative Nancy," each track offers a unique glimpse into Nick's sonic universe, inviting listeners to explore new depths with each listen.

As Nick Viola continues to evolve musically, he remains committed to crafting immersive sonic experiences that resonate with listeners on a visceral, and primal level.

A Ghost In Your World

B3 Nick Viola -Drop Out (Substencia Remix)

A. Kat Race
B. Alarms Cyclone

Overview
Jeff Mills’ “The Bells” is one of the most iconic tracks in techno history, often called the genre’s anthem. Known for its hypnotic bell melody, driving kick, and euphoric build, it became a staple in DJ sets worldwide. The track was first played live by Mills in 1995 (e.g., at Liquid Room in Tokyo), but it wasn’t officially released until 1997 as part of the Kat Moda EP on his Purpose Maker label. This EP is the original record pressing you’re asking about—no standalone “The Bells” single exists from that era. It has since been repressed multiple times due to massive demand (over 500,000 copies sold across versions).


Original Pressing Details
* Release Year: 1997 (though the track dates to 1995 performances and test pressings)
* Format: 12” vinyl EP, 33 ⅓ RPM
* Label: Purpose Maker
* Catalog Number: PM-002
* Country: US
* Pressing Notes: First pressing on standard black vinyl. Matrix runouts indicate a repress or variant: A side - PM 002-A (RE I) NSC; B side - PM 002-B (RE I) NSC (etched, with NSC circled). The mastering has been criticized as “shit” by some collectors for its raw, unpolished sound—typical of ’90s techno but quieter than modern represses, often requiring gain boosts in DJ sets. Sold out quickly at shops like Cisco in Tokyo upon release.

Tracklist
Side	Track	Duration
A1	The Bells	4:46
A2	Kat Race	4:22
B1	Alarms (aka “Masterplan” in later compilations)	5:32
B2	Cyclone	4:48


* 	•	Production Credits: Written, produced, and edited by Jeff Mills. Published by Millsart/BMG-Ariola.
* Why Buried on an EP? Mills reportedly avoided hype-sticker promotion to let the track’s organic popularity (from crowd reactions) drive sales. Purpose Maker was for floor-focused material, contrasting his experimental Axis label.

How to Identify an Original Pressing
* Visual Cues: Gold-on-black label design. No “10th Anniversary” or remix mentions. Check for wear from heavy club play—originals often show it.
* Sound Cues: Raw, dynamic mix with prominent kick and bells; lower loudness (not -5 LUFS like some digital remasters). Test pressings exist but are rare and unnumbered.
* Value (as of Oct 2025): $20–$50 USD for VG+ condition on Discogs/Reverb; mint originals can hit $100+ due to collector demand. Recent sales: Median $30–$40.

Later Versions and Represses
The track exploded in popularity, leading to reissues. Key ones:
* 1999 Repress: Same EP format (PM-002), minor matrix tweaks. Often mistaken for original.
* 2006 (10th Anniversary): Standalone 12” on Purpose Maker (PM-020). Includes reworked B-sides (“Gift of the Hills,” “Circus”). Louder mastering; promo versions exist. ~$15–$30.
* 2006 DVD Edition: Axis (AXDV-002). Enhanced with visuals from 1997–98 footage; limited audio/video hybrid.
* 2019 Remaster: On Sight, Sound & Space compilation (Axis). Cleaner, higher fidelity; first vinyl appearance of orchestral “Blue Potential” version.
* 2025 Remaster: Digital-only (e.g., SoundCloud edits); no new vinyl confirmed.

If you’re hunting for an original, check Discogs for verified sellers—avoid fakes by matching matrix numbers. For audio, stream the 1997 version on Beatport or Spotify. Got a specific copy or need value check? Share details! 🔔
