Pre-order Ltd edition Marbled 10" in Full Artwork Sleeve and Digital - https://asc77.bandcamp.com/album/defiance-prelude

The genesis of the tracks on the Defiance LP [HOROEX38] (https://soundcloud.com/horolabel/asc-defiance-horoex38-previews) came directly in the aftermath of the Space Echo EP by ASC for Samurai Red Seal. At the time, James made remixes of some of the tracks from this EP in an updated style for use on his last European tour. Two of these remixes make up the Defiance: Prelude release. Space Echo gets rebuilt into a more sinuous, ethereal soundscape, and Reveal is also refined into a graceful flotation device with sprinkles of air from the ether.

Taken from the Torn debut LP for Samurai Music - Borderline [SMDELP08]

3xLP/Digital - https://samurai.lnk.to/smdelp08

Moscow based Ivan Karasev aka Torn inked his Samurai affiliation in 2017 with his first-ever solo vinyl release on Shiro, a sub-label for highlighting new artists. 

In the 5 years that have passed since this release, the Torn name has progressed into a widescreen sonic project leaving an indelible mark not only on DnB but also reaching into the outer edges of the underground Techno scene. 

As well as his monster debut EP (Internal - SMDE10) on the main Samurai label in 2018, Torn became one of the few artists to garner a release on Homemade Weapons' imprint Weaponry in 2019, a year which also saw him release an EP of Grey Area style Techno on Horo and a collab EP in the same style with Sam KDC and Korse as Vermisst, also on Horo. 

Since these releases, Torn has teamed up with fellow Russian artist Roho for an EP of percussive floor shakers in 2021 on Samurai Music (Fatum - SMDE19) and several self-released projects direct to his growing base of devoted Torn heads. In the background, the last few years Ivan has been diligently refining and experimenting with constructions for his debut LP for the Samurai Music label.

Borderline fulfils the promise of Ivans musical ascendancy in our sub-scene netherworld between DnB and Techno. Gut-punch kicks entwine with dense atmospheric layers, gnawing mid-riffs, and impeccably honed percussive propulsion. The cake is iced meticulously with guest collabs from Samurai Music top tier affiliates Homemade Weapons, Last Life, label head Presha and a tempo switch up to close the LP with the help of dungeon master Sam KDC and close cohort Korse.

Borderline plants a confident, empowered, flag on the electronic music landscape with Torn's name on it.

Release info:
DOLEC number 9 hosts the UK based producer Mat Ranson alias Focal Point. Who delivers a four track ep called Decline of Industry that plays on the urge to dance and the allure of subversive nature. With an appropriately immersive, subliminal approach to contemporary techno, he presents a sound split between various BPM, creeping intensity and dynamic broken sound. Steely, dub-kissed textures and impulses shape out the space, while the drums fall in crisp, precisely interlocking formations.

Open Minds was released as a part of VA - Bury The Hatchet (Ukraine Relief Compilation) on Observant. Use the buy link. 

Humanitarian crises and assassinations on the people of Ukraine continue on a daily basis with no sign of letting up. Civilians from across the country are dying on a daily basis without end, and millions of people have fled their homes.

We must use our voices to create widespread and sustained awareness of the situation in Ukraine, and offer help in any way we can. So we created this project as a fundraiser exclusively with artists across India who stepped up with their musical contributions for a greater cause.

All funds will be donated to UNICEF, Ukraine.

Step further into sudeten Forrest by Torn's grey area rework of my track "Before" taken from recent album Black Rainbow. It's been a year since the Russia based producer Torn visited top northern borders of Czech republic and explored the melancholic beauty of Sudeten Forrest. Over 9 minutes of dark atmospheric sound pounding with not stopping evolving techno beat. Explore this track as never before.
