Beneath 'Occupy' (PAN 51)

Limited vinyl – 600 copies for the world – hand screen printed – 

No repress – No digital – Release Window: End of April/Early May, 2014

We are thrilled to present the long-awaited return of Alter Echo & E3.  These are genre-defying tracks of immense power, depth, and detail, steeped in sound system mythologies while staking a claim to a piece of the unwritten future. This is a sonic world where dub effects feel sentient - echoes and reverbs spin DNA through their chains, creating alien flora and fauna as they go. Studio kinda cloudy, yes, with strange gasses and vapor suffusing the herb smoke.

Nubian Dub is a stripped, anthemic 140-dub tune that pummels with space and rocks with spectral energies.  A rough dubplate mix of the track circulated amongst a lucky few last year.  Lost for a time in a badman version excursion, Alter Echo emerged and the finished mix is now ready to reveal.  A haunting 'oud figure floats above the bedrock of a massive half-step riddim, while shards of percussion, voice, test tone, and effects that seem to breathe swirl in the space between them.   

Warning dub’s bunker-busting riddim is dragged along by a mutant Jammy-style bassline that lurches and blasts into unheard territories, parting thick, alien atmospheres with relentless fader-rocking forward motion.  Fevered cyborg consciousness, half-mulched sound-system tapes, desert flutes, and strange feral things just out of sight… Warning is both an existential reminder that in this life “anything can happen…” and a classic soundboy-challenge to any that might try to test this behemoth of a sound.

Alter Echo AKA Josh Derry, has spent the last decade and a half working as a dub scientist of the highest order. Through his collaborations with DJ Spooky, Lee Perry, Mad Professor, Scientist, Twilight Circus and countless others, he has often worked as the Hidden Hand, perfecting and alloying disparate materials into wholly new dub forms. Alongside E3, he was one of the founders of BSI Records, and has released on labels including M Records, Six Degrees, Thirsty Ear, Sub Rosa, and Bangarang. E3 (AKA Ezra E. Ereckson) is a founding member of agit-dub band Systemwide, was the head of BSI, and now runs ZamZam Sounds alongside Tracy Harrison. E3 has been a vinyl archaeologist for 25 years.

NOTE:

Venter has been established by two experienced musicians - Tomasz Bednarczyk and Tomasz Mrenca. 

The former one has already released albums for Room40 and 12k. He is also a member of Harrison Chord - a house music duo. He manages We Are Your Music Mate label as well. Mrenca, on the other hand, is a violinist who creates classical compositions, jazz, experimental and avant-garde music. He is a member and a co-founder of an international group of The Frozen Vaults whose songs appeared on compilations with artists such as Max Richter or Olafur Arnalds. If that’s not enough, you should also know that he composes pieces for theater performances and fashion shows on regular basis.

Both members of Venter try to combine best elements and features of their music in the new project.

Self-titled release is promoted by Lovers Sex video shot in Paris earlier this year. The EP will not see an official release until September 22.



Venter - City Of Spring [SNFL015]

https://connaharaway.bandcamp.com/album/shifted

Three sanguine slices of dub techno from Glasgow-based wunder Conna Haraway. And featuring XENIA REAPER providing vibes and synths on the lush long elevation "Redirect" that sits on the record’s A side.

Shifted follows on from Spatial Fix; Conna’s first solo 12” in March ’25 that released on Theory Therapy. Where that EP was a dense and rich web of texture and atmosphere across the two long sides, this one focuses in on forms of propulsion and a patient, silvery endlessness.

A side track "Redirect" was cut from a longer Sunday night session with XENIA REAPER. Two laptops Ableton linked, chilling in the flat in Glasgow. The amazing synth line is all XENIA, everything else is Conna; looping the synth & bass for about an hour and bringing other elements in and out. The final tune is gorgeous, floating in the blissful ether before the sub and pulse kicks through. Eleven and a half minutes of enveloping pressure, refreshment and delight.

"Detach" and "Duration" both turn to a rediscovered love for 4x4 techno and an experiment in a more classic and subtle sound from the perspective of a producer who might be expected to take bigger emotive and experimental swings that follow the patterns of contemporary ambient and bass. The result is beautiful and delicate vectors of music, satisfyingly easy to slide into a set. Swung techno filled with detail and poise. Tunes that can scale and transform and sit in a sort of home listening club track zone. After hours nrg.

"INDEX:Records is enamoured to present the accomplished debut record by New York City resident, Beau Mahadev – 8-parts of dreamy vocals and wet-textured IDM-pop.

To some extent, this album arriving at INDEX:Records has been over 3 years in the making: we were first introduced to Beau’s work at GLOB in Denver (during our USA tour in 2023), at an event hosted by a dear friend, filled with lovely peeps. We were totally blown away by Beau’s performance and knew within a few minutes of their set starting that we wanted to release an album with them someday. Now, here it is: Subterra. Featuring tasty collaborations with {iii}, Uza A'amo and Yau Hei ASJ.

Vinyl limited to 200 copies. Front sleeve by Chiu. Design by Conna Haraway."
