Cabaret Voltaire - Just Fascination

Perc Trax’s 2nd and final sub-label launches with a release as special as it is unique. Pairing boss man Perc with industrial legends Einstürzende Neubauten to provide a link between the current cutting edge wave of techno/industrial fusionists and one of the true cornerstones of first generation of industrial trail-blazers.

Einstürzende Neubauten innovated both musically with their philosophy that any sound can be incorporated into a composition and also their DIY mentality, an attitude shared by similarly groundbreaking UK artists such as Throbbing Gristle and Cabaret Voltaire. Now Perc takes the dub-mixes from Neubauten’s 1981 album ‘Kollaps’, a release mentioned many time by Wells as one of the key influences on his trademark sound, reworking the source material to add a contemporary touch which is respectful whilst showcasing this classic material in a new light. Serving up everything from echo-soaked dub workouts to sonically and physically imposing percussive assaults this is Perc at his most innovative, open-minded and confrontational.

The collaboration between Einstürzende Neubauten and Perc will start and end with this EP. There will be no follow up releases making this release even more intriguing. The EP was mastered by UK mastering engineer of the year Matt Colton at Alchemy in London and the striking artwork is by long time Perc Trax collaborator Jonny Costello.

B2. Perc & Einstürzende Neubauten - Lunebest - Submit

Faith In Strangers’ was written and produced between January 2013 and June 2014, and was edited and sequenced in late July this year. Making use of on an array of instruments, field recordings, found sounds and vocal treatments, it’s a largely analogue variant of hi-tech production styles arcing from the dissonant to the sublime. The first two tracks recorded during these early sessions bookend the release, the opener ‘Time Away’ featuring Euphonium played by Kim Holly Thorpe and last track ‘Missing’ a contribution by Stott’s occasional vocal collaborator Alison Skidmore who also appeared on 2012’s ‘Luxury Problems’. Between these two points ‘Faith In Strangers’ heads off from the sparse and infected ‘Violence’ to the broken, downcast pop of ‘On Oath’ and the motorik, driving melancholy of ‘Science & Industry’ - three vocal tracks built around that angular production style that imbues proceedings with both a pioneering spirit and a resonating sense of familiarity. Things take a sharp turn with ‘No Surrender’- a sparkling analogue jam making way for a tough, smudged rhythmic assault, while ‘How It Was’ refracts sweaty Warehouse signatures and ‘Damage’ finds the sweet spot between RZA’s classic ‘Ghost Dog’ and Terror Danjah at his most brutal. ‘Faith in Strangers’ is next and offers perhaps the most beautiful and open track here, its vocal hook and chiming melody bound to the rest of the album via the almost inaudible hum of Stott’s mixing desk. It provides a haze of warmth and nostalgia that ties the nine loose joints that make up the LP into the most memorable and oddly cohesive of Stott’s career to date, built and rendered in the spirit of those rare albums that straddle innovation and tradition through darkness and light.

On Oath

An original track adapted from Claude Elwood Shannon's seminal text on information theory.

AWESOME SINGING ROBOTS made with plogue chipspeech + chipsounds + chipcrusher 100% naked (aside from some dynamics processing to round out the sounds). I used the "expected way" to hear the voices as a basis and worked them into my style from there... pushing them to some melodic, expressive, and even "uncanny valley" places.

AS HEARD ON... to celebrate the lauch of the amazing Plogue chipspeech vintage voice synthesizer plugin, we present you:

Lyrics:

Riddle me this, riddle me that 
Who's afraid of M 
Centuries will come undone 
As soon as he wakes 

Nothing can help you when Otto 
Launches his unrelenting strike 
Brain washing, mind controlling 
Big M is back 
Here he comes

Bioni Samp - The Island - Press Release 
Islands in the mind. 
Currents of floating oscillators, 
drifting over an ocean of stillness. 
The journey begins, uncharted, 
off the shipping lanes of mental navigation. 
Seeking further islands, 
just on the horizon of the last. 
Deep in the analog marine mist, 
lost Bermuda triangle waveforms, 
electronic scull island drums and 
atlantis synthesisers are all joined by refraction.

Thanks to Boomkat for the great review of my recent work...

Bioni Samp makes his solo debut proper with a finely structured, dark and elemental Ambient Techno EP. Hailing from Leeds, he's already appeared on the London-based Aconito label alongside Nax_Acid with the 'Ghost Bus' EP, but this is his definitive solo statement. Stark ambient pieces bookend four minimal Techno rollers. 'Feather Ings' uses field recordings and plunging subaquatic basses reminiscent of Thomas Köner, and the title track sketches bleak atmospheres around a skeletal hi-hat pattern reminding of DJ Skirt at her most isolated. The Techno tracks are equally carefully constructed, from the rippling, offset roll of 'Todays Skyline' to the SAW-like pulses of 'Oil On Canvas' and the ghostly warehouse space of 'Slinky Makes Reverb'.
