"Seduction Scale" is a musical introspection celebrating 10 years of The Clamps and 10 years of Kosenprod label aswell. 
A journey into Drum & Bass Music in his largest dimension, combining angry beats, gritty bass, melancholy and storytelling spiced with some mechanical and industrial movements. Julien collaborated with Experimental Jazz guitar player, Thomas Carbou, on the track “Family Chest”, to give a mechanical but however humanized initiatory journey in the meanders of modern experimental music.
Through this Ep, rediscover your feelings and let yourself be seduced by your own reactions.

"Undead" is OUT NOW on @stonx-music!

Avile: linktree.com/avileofficial

Some things are more fun postmortem.......

Crawling out of the afterlife to re-arrange your life force comes music from an artist we're quite frankly in awe of at Stonx Music.

Say hello to AVILE. With his maiden outing for Stonx Music, our resident Norwegian Necromancer has created something disgusting and rotten for us and we're bathing in the gore.

The tracks opening bars give a medical breakdown of soft tissue degradation and limited remaining brain function.

Finer motor skills may be a thing of the past but this shambling wreck's still got enough oomph to punch your damn life right out of your body.

A huge, face-removing, flesh-rotting reese counter-plays with some deeply deranged stabs to ensure you know exactly what a 'massive trauma to the brain' feels like.

Ripping, rending flesh flies off in chunks as the static scatty percussion liquidize what's left of your emotional cortex.

Avile's going to be a name that's stamped onto your hand like a morgue identity tag soon enough.

So you better get in the know before it's too late and you've joined the zombified masses who's only carnal desire is more, and more, and more AVILE

Released May 25, 2023 on STONX MUSIC

Finalfix returns to the label with the highly anticipated second part in his Devil's Advocate series. The "Forsaken EP" features four moody tracks with a dark and biblical theme accompanied by relentless drums and reese basses with that Finalfix signature we all love so much. Enjoy!
________________________________________________________________________________
Once, there was a fallen angel who had been banished from the heavenly realms for his insatiable thirst for power and rebellion against the divine order. This angel had once been a powerful force of good, a being of pure light. But now, he walked the earth, his wings crimson and corrupted and his halo made of chains.
Despite his fall from grace, this fallen angel still retained the knowledge and wisdom of the heavens. He understood the intricate workings of life, of creation and destruction, of love and pain. He could see the threads that connected all living beings and the delicate balance of the universe.
As he walked the earth, the very air seemed to ignite around him, flames trailing in his wake as a harbinger of destruction. Those who crossed his path trembled in fear, sensing the sheer force of chaos that emanated from his being. Consumed by hatred and fueled by his desire for revenge, the angel unleashed hellfire upon the world, scorching everything in its path with an infernal fury that left only ash in its wake.
The world lay in ruin around him, a desolate wasteland devoid of life. And in that dark and lingering moment, as the last embers of his hellfire flickered out, he realized the true cost of his vengeance. He knew he was lost.

Though space provides no medium through which soundwaves may effectively propagate, it has been estimated that the greatest of cosmic cataclysms may also be the loudest events that occur in the known universe, reaching far beyond any human understanding of sound as a thing to be experienced and converting it instead into a force of incredible destructive potential. As stars collapse and black holes form, it is only the vacuum of space that prevents these cosmic roars from bellowing out between galaxies, their deafening might itself silenced only by the odd nothingness that glues all existences together.

What unequivocal havoc would occur if such an incident occurred beyond the choking grip of space’s vacuous nature? Would that a misguided scientific experiment created even a momentary and unstable black hole within the atmosphere of their home planet? In a single second, the resulting soundwave would liquefy their fleshy bodies, rend the alloyed construction of their laboratory, and heave solid earth into novel formations upon the back of its undulating waveshape. It is certain that any who came later to gaze upon such a site would marvel at the destruction caused therein, in awe of the TRANSIENT ECHOES permanently carved in stone.

MEPH makes an explosive EATBRAIN debut with TRANSIENT ECHOES, an EP featuring four tracks made in collaboration with artists including Notequal, Wallhack, and IO as he leads the latest batch of new EATBRAIN talent to the fore of the label’s horde. Within, MEPH delivers percussive sequences and growling basslines of cosmic significance as he and his collaborators sate the horde’s ravenous hunger for novel means of sonic destruction.

As night fell upon the city, the oppressive slate grey clouds that had hovered above the skyline for days took on an echo of its luminosity, their undersides turning a distinctive pinkish color that illuminated the otherwise moonless night with an otherwordly glow. As the neon lights that guided the citizens who did business beneath the night shone on, high atop a fog-veiled corporate tower the final page of a pillaged tome turned in the hands of an avaricious businessman, who uttered the ancient words that lay upon the page even as it crumbled at his touch. “Kiramiji…Akasham… Anayantu…” he muttered, entranced as his final words slipped from his mouth as the book’s ancient prophecy became as foretold. Instantly exsanguinated, his oxidized blood rushed through the tower’s crowning skylights in a torrent and upwards into the sky as their vital energies set the winds of a divine storm in motion.

Emerging then from the swirling vortex of crimson-tinged cumulonimbus clouds came a guttural and otherworldly utterance that struck like a sledgehammer against the glass panes of the city’s construction before being followed by the scarlet tentacles of a forgotten horror long since sealed. Though gargantuan in size, their suction-cupped tendrils seemed almost sensitive to the minute movements of the humans that struggled within their grasp, almost playful as the thousand teeth of each cupped limb sucked the blood from their bodies and discarded their desiccated corpses upon the streets below. Such an ancient evil was this that it exuded a malign and rapacious consciousness in its unending hunger, as for aeons none had seen such horrors as the RED SKY unleashed.

STATE OF MIND return to EATBRAIN with RED SKY, a monstrous single featuring the vocal incantations of MC COPPA as the trio of EATBRAIN veterans unleash their latest collaboration of the ears of their faithful horde.

An apocalyptic vision, the ‘Discipline EP’ from Katharsys and Forbidden Society Recordings brings together drum & basses darker elements. Broodily standing in three parts, it packages a sound pushed by the duo since their inception. Beginning their musical voyage within the French bass world, they’ve carved themselves a persona whilst taking influences from the European circuit. A hotly tipped infusion of neuro and hard nailing basslines, prepare to be immersed within the world of Kartharsys. 
The production outfit began working together in 2001, inspired by the dark groove of artists like Tech Itch and wanting to provide their own take on the subgenre. Progressively intense, their wide range of styles becomes clear even on first listen. Having previously produced dubstep on an array of different levels, their boundary crossing selection stretches from track to track. They make their intentions known, bringing you upfront, techy power-cuts that seep deeper and deeper into your ear drums with every listen. 
First up is the forebodingly named ‘Dead Never Stay Dead’ and the title alone lets you know what you’re in for. Creeping whispers meet with you during its intro, gradually building you up between quickly flicking hi-hats and siren like snare. Cinematic sample creates an atmosphere which stays with the track from start to finish and it’ll be difficult to pull yourself away from its film score horror sequences. Kartharsys really prepare you for what’s about to be unleashed in the following two tracks.
Title track ‘Disciple’ is slightly more orchestral in its engineering. Cleverly adding layer by layer, its reverberating kick drum sends you on your way. Bit by bit, distorted beats take you in even further, with stocky subs to drop you down a winding chasm of cranking drums. This one is for the gloomier months, your perfect summer finisher that’ll remind you just how far down the rabbit hole can go. 
Finishing off the EP is ‘Brain Implant’.  Beware of what you’re about to step into, because when those drums hit they punch harder with every cycle. Soon you become entwined within this record’s pulsing composition and it won’t let go once you’re in its grasp. A sci-fi voice over gradually takes you there and just like an amusement ride you’re peddled into all-out chaos. Kartharsys presents the most driving slice of their repertoire with ‘Disciple’. Although, looking back at this whole body of work, it’s easy to see how it was delivered so effortlessly.

Synthakt - Red Shift EP 
Algorythm Recordings ALGO018 
Release date: 4 November 2016

Synthakt is a drum & bass producer with a penchant for punishment from Salzburg, Austria. He fuses pummeling bass and a technical drum sound straight out of hell with dark undertone melodies that would make the hair stand up at the back of your neck. Sinister forces no doubt put him in the crosshairs of Counterstrike, who couldn’t help to notice this rising dark star.  His menacing sound has also caught the ears of other ominous overlords such as June Miller, Limewax, Pythius, Cooh, Prolix and The Panacea amongst others.  

The EP starts off with Faint where a pounding drum workout responds to a screeching robotic stab. Next up is Redshift, a tearing reece and amen foundation sets the tone for a dark melodic synth line. Following is Spiral View. An infectious blood curdling sound sits on top of hard as nails two step drums. Lastly I Believe sees Synthakt collaborate with Counterstrike where an apocalyptic intro leads to a drop that will take heads clean off.

The name Katharsys derives from ‘an extreme change in emotion that results in renewal, restoration and revitalization’. And after one listen to the forthcoming LP sampler which French producers Hugo and Tom have been crafting in sonic solitude, you’ll understand why they chose this namesake. Following the start of their journey together in 2001, the duo began producing their very first drum & bass tracks. Inspired by the likes of Tech Itch, Kemal, Konflict and other heavyweight bass legends from across the darker end of the spectrum, the outfit have followed the same ethos. And that’s to transpose the primal instinct of Catharsis into every record.

Whether it’s Neurofunk or Darkstep, Katharsys have turned their hands to every sub-genre, across a wide variety of labels. Imprints such as Barcode, Obscene, Future Sickness and Guerilla have grown the pair from strength to strength, increasing their notoriety whilst helping to push them throughout the European club scene. And for their next offering, the renowned Othercide Records have given them a platform, an imprint which will release their second LP and further solidify their place as underground tastemakers.
