Very interesting. The "modular" spirit of Barbieri is still there, but the techno club vibe is now deeply prominent. And it still works.. Thanks Lucy for this.

KR3.005 

A Day in the Life - is the first chapter of a dedicated series fully curated by Steve Bicknell for KR3. 

This bold new work by the veteran English artist provides an insight into the mind of the artist. 

Side A features three tracks by The Evader, another face of Steve Bicknell. An obscure intro leads us straight to the point: 4/4 sounds, repetitive and hypnotic, not afraid to be heavy. In fact, that's the point: to take everything that is a burden to us and embrace it. After all, there can be no light without darkness. 

On Side B, Steve Bicknell has a killer approach. A parallel rail to Side A, with a more furious, still gloomy approach. He moves in the same direction but vents different emotions. The sound is harder, rawer, faster and more impetuous. 
An outro ends the EP, as if to represent a circle closing: The first lap inside A day in the life.

KR3.005 | Steve Bicknell - A Day In The Life EP

47 revisits German artist OAKE’s seminal track “Paysage Dépaysé” in a special remix EP.

OAKE have established themselves as flagbearers for dark electronica in the years pursuant to their EP on Downwards in 2015, making cinematic dance music for imprints across the experimental-industrial axis—including a solo effort on 47 in 2019. After a series of standout early releases, the artists put out one of their canon-defining tracks, “Paysage Dépaysé,” as part of the Monad XXIV EP for Stroboscopic Artefacts. Now, it receives the remix treatment on 47029 with three dynamic and radically divergent approaches to OAKE’s atmospheric and deeply melancholic inaugural work, which will be pressed to vinyl for the first time.

The newly remastered original song is a post-industrial dirge that weaves OAKE singer Konstanze Bathseba Zippora’s otherworldly vocals over a noisy mothswarm of electronics, but label veteran Killawatt revs the first version’s subdued threnody up to a dance floor-friendly techstepper. On the B-Side, remixer Lemna uses a more restrained style, enshrouding the instrumentals under a martial sashay of tribal breakbeats, while 47 newcomer Quelza brings the collection to a ruminative close by bending and breaking Zippora’s virtuosic solo through a latticework of glitched-out synths and percussive stabs. The entire package will be available for purchase on June 24th, 2022

DEES003 - V.A. - Chronicles Of Freedom [SNIPPETS]

Artist: Het Zweet
Title: 'Excuse'
Label: Modal Analysis
Cat. #: MALP03
Format: 2x 12" + Digital + live CD
Release: January,​ ​2023
Pre order: https://modalanalysis.bandcamp.com/album/het-zweet-archives-vol-i-82-88

Sounds From NoWhere is pleased to premiere a new Het Zweet' gem on 'Modal Analysis'.
Rare and unheard music from Marien van Ooers (aka Het Zweet), native of Breda in the Netherlands, active in the industrial/experimental scene during the 80s. 
The music consisted of percussion pieces played on self build instruments (shopping trolleys amplified with pickups, blown cardboard tubes, etc.) with repetitive shouted vocals from Marien. 
His music was often placed in the industrial camp, even though it was more concerned with tribal music, physicality and trance effects like the ones of ZEV, as during concerts he often used to perform with other musicians. 
Marien passed away on the 8th of January 2013 and this album is a record of his unique musical legacy culled from various tapes during the 80s. 
First time on vinyl (2x12), including CD with a recorded live performance.

Psyk's Non Series imprint welcomes a pair of vital techno talents for a new split EP: both Yogg and Distant Echoes provide two tracks each to make for a powerful release.

Yogg & Distant Echoes - NON031 [non031]

The planet is a wasteland ruled by self-contained, country-sized megacities, each with their own culture and climate, separated by vast, barely-inhabitable spaces. Long reliant on cyberspace as their means of communication, humanity relies on cybernetics to survive in their new environment. Advanced AI competes or conspires with these enhanced beings for control of resources and economy. Within these many-layered Sprawls, ordered chaos reigns, inhabited by many, understood by factions, and controlled by the very few…

Kontinum - Lost Places

With the ‘Lucy Reworks’ EP, label head Lucy, nom de techno of Luca Mortellaro, revisits four pivotal tracks from his label’s peerless catalogue. In their original form, these tracks from Donato Dozzy, Caterina Barbieri, Lucy & Klock and Xhin each represent significant and deeply personal moments for Mortellaro in Stroboscopic Artefacts’ history. And like the recent ‘Ten Years Of Artefacts’ album and the currently ongoing tour, this EP is a chance for Mortellaro to look back fondly at the label’s past while closely considering its present and its future.

The release of Donato Dozzy’s “Sotto Ma Sotto” in 2014 was in retrospect the moment at which Mortellaro’s curatorial vision broadened to include artists from outside of the immediate early collective of Lucy, Xhin, Dadub, et al. As an icon of Italian electronic music, Dozzy was perhaps an ideal figure to fulfill such a role. His hedonistic yet sharp-eyed “Sotto Ma Sotto” is recast by Mortellaro as a twilit techno roller, as the orginal’s fevered tempo is reduced to a sinister creep.

In remixing Caterina Barbieri, another beloved Italian artist, Mortellaro highlights the breaking of the barrier between experimental and club music that Stroboscopic Artefacts has always sought. His remix of “Virgo Rebellion”, which was released last year on the ‘Flowers From The Ashes’ compilation of contemporary Italian electronic music, retains the adventurous spirit of Barbieri’s gorgeous synth-driven original but frames it in a dramatic new dance floor context.   

The choice of “War Lullaby” is both a reflection on Mortellaro’s friendship and creative partnership with Ben Klock, and the closing of a chapter: the period in which the label’s focus moved past what had come to be perceived by the outside world as the sound of Berlin techno. The original might be considered a Stroboscopic Artefacts anthem, a track of such scale a remix could be risky. But Lucy responds to the project by matching the intensity of the original while subtly redirecting its synthetic expressions.

It would have been almost inconceivable to create a project such as this and not include Xhin. The visionary Singaporean was the first artist signed to the label, and Mortellaro doesn’t pass up the chance to journey back to 2009 and the label’s second release, the EP that gained it an international audience. You can sense the energy he draws from Xhin’s original, as he weaves a deadly synth line through the original’s laser-focussed groove.       

Over the years, it’s been vital for Mortellaro to maintain a more backgrounded presence with Stroboscopic Artefacts, allowing the music and artists to develop without his involvement appearing too closely in the frame. This EP, however, is a chance for him to boldly toast some of the label’s standout music, as Stroboscopic Artefacts marks ten years of challenging contemporary techno’s conventions.

A2. Caterina Barbieri - Virgo Rebellion (Lucy Remix)[SA10YEARSEP]

Back in 2009, Italian DJ and producer Luca Mortellaro - better known simply as Lucy - established the Stroboscopic Artefacts label. And over the last 14 years, the imprint has nurtured a reputation for its line-blurring electronic abstraction and dancefloor experimentation, releasing influential material by artists like Speedy J, Kangding Ray, Donato Dozzy, Paula Temple, Rrose, Ben Klock, Wanton Witch, and of course Lucy themselves. Naturally following the label's ten year threshold, the pandemic pause and Mortellaro's subsequent artistic re-evaluation, OTHER FACTS emerges as a fresh entity, fully unplugged from Stroboscopic Artefacts' dancefloor mainframe, with its gaze pointed on widescreen cinematic sound design and audio-visual art.
