PREMIERE I Lesser Of - Walking Through Your Beauty [KKVA001]

Hybral - Das Urteil (Sacred Court)

B.A.R.K - Scars (SUBVERTED)

Scars consists of not only simple pain, but also the scenery and emotions that arise at that time within. 
And it disappears gradually while repeating cell division. 
However, it may be the real scars that is left behind with it. With that in mind, we face another day. 

The unstable and distorted beauty that seems to break if touched is very ephemeral and very strong.

PREMIERE : B.A.R.K - Scars

After a successful remix in 2022, SHE!K returns to OMEN Recordings with his solo debut EP. The London native brings his signature modular-based music with four aggressively raw originals that will shake your insides and claw at your brain. On remix duties is another return from Polish star HATELOVE, and a second one from label boss AXKAN.  

Taser Ace - Mechanical grooves lead the way to monstrously maddening tones, built on pure noise, they sit lurking and impatiently waiting to destroy dance floors.   

Blowhole - Industrial 4/4 drum grooves meet distorted tops that are pure peak time energy from beginning to end. The porridge is just right on this one. 

Haze - This has to be the most driven track of the release. A no-mercy, broken beat masterpiece full of heavily distorted nuances that will keep you on edge. 

Subterfuge - The title track brings forth a truly beautiful sub-bass paired with relentless techno melodies that will shred your nerves to pieces.  

Haze (HATELOVE Remix) - Industrial drum grooves meet distorted tops that is pure peak time energy while keeping you on edge.   

Haze (AXKAN Remix) - The label boss’ heavy industrial/broken beat rework brings about cinematic tones that bleed into futuristic sonic madness and hi-tech hellscapes. 

This EP will be available in digital format everywhere. It paves the road for carefully crafted dark and industrial techno to inspire many. For more information visit: facebook.com/omenrecordings or at our online store at omenrecordings.bandcamp.com.

𝐁𝐮𝐲 𝐋𝐢𝐧𝐤: https://desertdrone.bandcamp.com/album/killed-empathy
•

Like a boulder, KILLED EMPATHY is the sound of wounds in their ruthless unveiled purity. In one track after another the process of brutal detachment and human cancellation is defined: the theater of emotional control evolves in a cascade of intoxicating, cumbersome and synthetic sounds, punctuated by Techno/Industrial grooves and patterns that claim justice in a droning dimension.

Composed of 8 tracks, Killed Empathy is a musical product steeped in real life and human tragedy, in the terrible story of the part of the soul that was saved from loss.
Most of the tracks were recorded the same day in a no stop process, using only hardware machines in patterns created and improvised during the producing session.

Tape also contains some ghost tracks, enjoy!

Recorded between April and November 2021 in Berlin.
All tracks produced and mixed by Desert Drone.

PREMIERE: Desert Drone - Let Your Body Flash In The Air

LA-based Techno label OMEN Recordings celebrates its 6 year anniversary with a very special edition of their RITUAL VA Series. Hand-picked by label boss, AXKAN, himself, "RITUALØ6" offers 6 incredible selections that represent the OMEN sonic aesthetic impeccably. 

Mastered by Artefacts Mastering, from Gio's gorgeous studio in Berlin, "RITUALØ6" manifests some of OMEN’s finest tracks selected over the past 3 years. The RITUAL series continues its six-tracker format with this unique anniversary release showcasing venerable artists from the various corners of the Techno world.

The compilation opens with mysterious producers I MURDERED conjuring up sinister sonics and eerie vocals in “Skin Jacket”. A beguiling flute bridges the track from a steady rhythmic pace into a frenzied, buzzing hive of industrial Techno.

Rising LA artist EAS offers his eclectic spin on dark Techno with “Walk the Earth.” A dynamic chugging bassline pummels through its entirety, intertwining with a dizzying, metallic aural to heat up any warehouse with its underlying EBM influence.

Italian legend AYARCANA left us his last produced track where he summons savage spirits with “Epitaphs” as ANSOME lends his belligerent broken beats and uncompromising dynamics to the resulting remix.

Explosive peak-time stamina runs wild in CRYSTAL GEOMETRY’s “Alborz Range.” The French producer deftly shows off an industrial-leaning modular style. Obliterating and futuristic, this track is guaranteed to rile up any dancefloor. 

Poland’s HATELOVE shows off his aggressive brand of Techno with “Riot” slinging twisted distortions and mesmerizing mania. Featuring German-based THE HORRORIST, this fervent track takes hellish soundscapes to new depths. Vocals used by kind permission of RIOT Records and Oliver Chesler.

Closing out the compilation, OMEN head honcho AXKAN unleashes seductively ominous themes across “Lacan’s Dream.” Nefarious, tribal-influenced percussion leads the listener through otherworldly realms for a monumental conclusion.

This EP will be available in USB-stick and digital formats everywhere. This latest "RITUALØ6" is a brutal masterpiece of a VA compilation and further cements the label’s position in the underground Industrial Techno scene—as if one needed any convincing.

All original tracks written and produced by the featured artists.

RITUALØ6

THE HORRORIST - RIOT (HATELOVE Remake)

Swarm Intelligence - The Shattered Self

Swarm Intelligence - (SUB05)

Fierce and forlorn, Swarm Intelligence’s “The Shattered Self” delves into the complexities of human existence in an era dominated by technological advancements. In this thought-provoking exploration, the artist challenges listeners to confront the consequences of a near future where physical and mental augmentation are commonplace. In a world where limbs can be upgraded, where consciousness can be uploaded, where memories can be digitally archived and shared on social media, where our AI clones can liberate us from menial tasks... What remains of ourselves? Who is our self?

Swarm Intelligence draws influences from black metal, industrial-tinged dub, and post-rock, splicing these with his distinctive take on techno to devastating effect. "Dejected," the inaugural track, unleashes grinding walls of feedback against a relentless broken beat, its foreboding atmosphere heightened by a menacing low growl of distorted bass that permeates the unease. It's a disquieting overture that sets the stage for the tumultuous journey ahead.

The second track, “Eros” envelops the listener in a visceral soundscape, where haunting atmospheres intertwine with grinding feedback and pounding percussion. Initially tense, the track evolves into an unexpected and almost euphoric climax, adding an unforeseen emotional depth to the sonic narrative. Yet, beneath the surface, an undercurrent of tension remains—an ever-present reminder of the fragility of our self.

On the flip side, "Inciter" channels inner fury through a guttural chant punctuating a Birmingham-styled broken beat, marching forth with unyielding force.

Finally, "Portal" offers a moment of quiet introspection, as haunting pads echo a mournful refrain while micro recordings of whirring machinery are assembled into the percussion section. It serves as a poignant curtain-closer.

Through "The Shattered Self," Swarm Intelligence challenges listeners to reconsider their perceptions of identity, consciousness, and agency in an age where the machine and the human converge. It's a haunting and profound journey—one that invites introspection and contemplation long after the final reverb tails fade into silence.

Swarm Intelligence - Eros (SUB05)

“Just a moment
just one night
just one shot
in another fight
Another fever
another craze
a fraction of time
a piece of mine…”

This mini album emerged in a feverish night while fighting a relentless flu, as a kind of escape from sick paralysis and condemnation to overthinking.
The outcome is a live-recorded spontaneous, emotional ride between fragility and intensity.

"FIEBER doesn’t follow a concept or anything like an intended structure or organized pattern. It simply captures the moment, an irretrievable creation of my soul speaking through these devices and the energy of sound.”

Instruments used:
SOMA Lyra-8, Novation Bass Station II, Dreadbox Erebus V3, Elektron Analog Rytm MK1, Zoom Multi Stomp...  more

We curate queer sex-positive parties with equally queer line-ups, featuring mostly non-binary and trans DJs. Our aim is to platform artists with gender identities that are under-represented in the music industry, showing that it is possible to have more inclusive and diverse booking practices without a decrease in musical quality, but in fact with an increase by bringing new and previously unheard perspectives to the dance floor.

Discovering and nurturing new talent is at the very essence of SUBVERTED. We stand in resistance to the homogenisation and sanitisation to which the techno industry has been subjected in recent years via formulaic, easily-digested productions and repetitive line-ups, and intend to continue opening the industry's gates for a new generation of artists that are pushing their own unique and fresh take on dark industrial techno.
