Black Light Smoke’s US-based imprint Death Decay Magic invites The Hacker, Cardopusher, Man 2.0 and Adrian Marth to remix tracks from the first three releases on the imprint.

After seven years of brand building as a podcast mix series, Death Decay Magic was launched as a record label in March 2020 by Jordan Lieb aka Black Light Smoke. With a DIY ethos, Death Decay Magic explores the darker, eclectic realms of electronic music, bridging techno with EBM, minimal synth and post-punk.

Death Decay Magic Remixes Vol. 1 is a compilation remix EP, drawing on the first three Death Decay Magic releases; Black Light Smoke ‘Line and Shadows’, Daniel Holt ‘Traveler’, and Man 2.0 & Black Light Smoke ‘Holy Hammer’. Death Decay Magic invites remixes from The Hacker, Cardopusher, Adrian Marth, Man 2.0, and Black Light Smoke on a release that illustrates the labels blueprint perfectly: raw, edgy synth music with ghostly vocals; one foot in techno, the other stepping out into the unknown.

Zone Music boss The Hacker gets things underway with a crunchy remix of Black Light Smoke ‘Lines’ featuring crystalline leads, zapping synths and whirring stabs. Up next, Man 2.0 and Black Light Smoke’s ‘Bodywork’ gets a remix from Classicworks founder Cardopusher as he takes the remix into mystifying territories with revolving modulations bouncing elegantly off the chugging rhythm. Night Noise artist Man 2.0 follows by laying down an industrial-tinged electro remix of ‘Traveler’ with otherworldly atmospheres, gauzy textures and dynamic elements.
Italo Moderni label boss Adrian Marth follows with an interpretation of ‘Bank For God’ as the spiralling EBM sonics flow vigorously and the drilling rhythms get to work underneath. DDM honcho Black Light Smoke then finishes things off with a version of his track, ‘Your Own Hands,’ which fuses rubbery bass grooves, playful melodies and vibrant 909s.

Of all the labels that are supporting the new school of deep down and dreamy dubstep (think Tuba, System, Hatcha's Hatched imprint, as well of course as Mala's mighty Deep Medi), Subaltern is quickly becoming the most distinctive. Its releases are united by a particularly trippy approach, with complex meandering structures, and untold layers of hand percussion. The artists stretch from Turkey (Gantz) to the USA (Prism), but they seem to have a particular fondness for dubwise Italians, with the mighty D-Operation Drop and Piezo who is now on his second release for Subaltern with this impeccable bit of soundsystem science.

Umwelt - Beyond Celestial Limits [Artaphine Premiere]

POLISH TECHNO.LOGY debuts with the first official album!

The premiere release of the Polish label is 'Dark Reverb' EP by MDS, which is also part of this collective. This is the debut EP of the Polish artist, which is a consequence of his dynamic development and willingness to cross new borders.

'Dark Reverb' EP contains 4 tracks that bring a dark atmosphere interwoven with ambient sounds, strong bass and favorite elements used by MDS, giving the tracks the right pace.

Label: POLISH TECHNO.LOGY
Artist: MDS
Title: 'Dark Reverb EP'
Cat. No.: PT001
Format: Digital
Genre: Electronic
Style: Techno
Release Date: 27/01/2020
Artwork: Matylda Stefanowska (Thildaa)

"Dark Reverb" is a slower track but with stronger bass beats and drums with a large dose of reverb and echo. MDS also presents effects that definitely diversify the sound. The sound of the guitars together with the weight of the song drive the listener towards the dark.

The shamanic journey "Attack" offers goes from ambient sounds to factory noises, scream and hard kick.

Rhythmic beats and bass resonance make your heart beat faster. "Intramural Voice" is a mixture of soaring whistles and reverbs with a synthesizer melody broken by drum beats constitute the basis of this track. In the background, heavy but barely audible bass is the background of the track.

MDS presents "Transposition" based on your favorite elements. Industrial bass kick is intertwined with a fast classic percussion cymbal in high timbre. Colored with atmospheric reverberation and an undefined noise, the track is a mixture of fast pace in a dark and heavy style. Impacts imitating the sounds of tin containers at the end of the piece complete the space.
