Artist : Umwelt / Artwork : Yann Legendre / Mastering : Carlos Koschitzky / Format : 2X12 inch & Digital  / Label - Cat : Newflesh  - NFLP01  / Release Date : end of november 2021

Following many visionary outings such like "Inhuman Series Vol 1.2.3.4" released on New Flesh Records in 2012, "Days of Dissent" released on Killekill in 2016 (repress soon) talking about the rebellion of the World and the moving "Abandon In Place" LP released on New Flesh Records in 2018 telling about the destruction of Earth by the Humans, French producer Umwelt presents his very first cinematographic yet conceptual album on his own label New Flesh Records.
Titled "Subversive Territory", this much anticipating opus sees the founder of Rave Or Die imprint exploring a post-apocalyptic world via twelve haunting songs spreading their infectious melodies and gloomy atmosphere throughout.
Don’t expect any beat here as this experimental-ambiant manifesto will dive you into the famous tense and dystopian universe Umwelt is building year after year.
As visual as auditive, this heartbreaking masterpiece comes illustrated by Yann Legendre. This french illustrator and art director is the father of numerous beautiful illustrations for magazines, books in the movie & music industries. He is the brillant creator of great comic "Flesh Empire" edited by Casterman in 2019.
Working on his forthcoming comic "Vega" anounced for 2022 by Albin Michel, Yann Legendre joined Umwelt for this perfect matching of two arts and two artists offering us this esthetic collaboration.
At the end who can say who is illustrating who: the illustrator or the musician?
"Subversive Territory" sounds like the perfect soundtrack of a frightening and not-too-distant future where humanity has collapsed!
Fans will appreciate to collect two coloured vinyls in a trifold sleeve.

Ravebreakerz Vol 2 - RODBKZ02

In the heart of the neon-washed ruins, the city's pulse was electronic faint, rhythmic, controlled. The rebellion moved like shadows, fragmented, but growing. Among them, The Echo shifted no face, no identity, just whispers of someone who was everywhere and nowhere.
It could become anyone, blend into any crowd, disappear in plain sight. To the rebels, The Echo was the key. A shapeshifter with the ability to infiltrate the System’s command center, the nerve of the AI-controlled city. But in the silence between the beats of a distorted  festered.
Was The Echo their weapon, or their silent executioner?

Review by Nexus 6 :
You knew this would happen! As purveyors of early Rave sounds with a serious dose of talent and nostalgia, Minimum Syndicat would logically team up with head honcho Um-welt to deliver an outstanding split EP that will go down in ROD History!
On A side, Paris based combo drops an authentic anthem of their trademark: "Antiworlds" mixes a fat compressed techno kick to ravey strings while a sample taken from Moby's classic "Thousand" cut will lead you to ecstasy. Beastly!
On the flipside, Umwelt strikes back with a monster of a track. Brainwashing "OTSHA4TRCS2XOX" brings some old school rave vibes over a powerful, rolling and infectious rhythm a la Plastikman. Tune!

DJ & producer I Hate Models (Artscore, VOITAX, Monnom Black) invests A side with irresistible “Requiem Of Desolation”, a blessing dancefloor mash up of untouchable Acid Trance flights and old school sorori-ties . Very different from what we used to hear from this infamous and long time Techno activist. This is what we call “Modern Rave”.

I Hate Models & Umwelt / Rave Or Die 10

For its eleventh split EP since, Rave Or Die imprint welcomes a wellknown artist from the UK scene. Techno producer Kieran Whitefield aka Ansome (Perc Trax, South London Analogue Material, THEM), signs a remarkable debut on the French label with uncompromising “Vakuum”, a straight to the dance floor face melter with a perfect balance between frenetic rhythms, energizing pressure and paranoiac modulations. On the flipside, Rave Or Die label owner Umwelt (New Flesh Records, Shipwrec, Soma) grabs with the full frequency of sound available to serve up a unique and personal take on industrial techno. A complex and brutal piece of acid a la Roland Casper, “Affres” reveals all the mastery and genius of our producer in this brainwashing and drama exercise of high level!

Cosmic Force : Frontline Fuel
An authentic showman and one of the Boiler Room sensations this year, unstoppable Cosmic Force makes his great debut on New Flesh Records!  
Marguerita matermind graces us here with four tracks of pure Electro madness, ranging from uptempo technobass to freaky electro. Featuring heavy bass, beats, and distortions from the hands of a true dedicated craftsman, two massive cuts will particularly gain your attention.
Laying for a long time in a hard disc, real banger “Miami Is The Place To Be” finally goes out of the box to offer a funky fresh tune paying its respects to old school Electro Funk, with a modern twist that propel the track into the XXII century. No doubt a future classic!
Mind blowinf “I Know Your Facebook” signs another milestone of an electro affair filled to the bone by heading modulations and bubbling tones. You won't believe the damage this track causes on the dancefloor.
Completed with irresistible “The Demon Inside Me” and “The Only Sh_t”, the EP sees our living legend displaying his infamous Funky robotic electro sound over an undeniable energy that strongly focuses on the dancefloor. If you want to know what an Utrecht's electro veteran is able to behind his machines, this 12” is for you. Cosmic Force in full effect.

Stranger / Umwelt - Rave Or Die ROD13
Number 13 is at the center of many superstitions, some consider it to bring bad luck. We at Rave Or Die believe instead that number 13 always delivers happiness, success and even ecstasy to the mass. In particular when it gathers altogether two heavyweights from the Dance music culture on the label’s thirteen release. On A side we find Self Refelktion Boss Stranger in an acidic distorted exercise, injecting on “Motief” the perfect balance between pounding techno beats a la  90's Axis release and Woody McBride 303 loops and a little " je ne sais quoi " to make you jump on the Dancefloor. On the flipside, ROD mastermind fates the heavy artillery with “Shut Up And Dance”, a nod to the now defunct and eponymous mythic Rave London  label. Distorted yet irresistible electro techno tones characterize this pure Ravey anthem calibered for spacious warehouse with a generous sound system.
Raw techno tracks all the way from two masters of the genre!
