We're proud to present Accidental Business, a long-term project strewn with pitfalls and disillusions nodding to the incongruous events that led to the birth of Unknown Precept. Looking back at what made our trademark for the past 8 years, this new compilation marks a turning point in our discography. Scanning out the dustiest corners of the label's bizarre roster to offer a complete look at Unknown Precept's soul and vision; it brings together 18 tracks of unreleased material and collaborations recorded by our closest friends. From slow-paced post-punk hitting hard as bricks to short-circuited noise that makes the power supply trip, not to mention our love for the grotesque and self-mockery via humorous wonky synthpunk and bad tempered body music cracking jokes at a ghost audience. This is what you get when a group of people that have no clue what they're doing get together. Into the unknown we sink, but where to find us next?

NYH261 King Rambo Sound - Where Are We

1 Get Mad 05:39
2 Ghost Attack 04:42
3 Leviathan 05:44
4 Pain Management 04:21

After a couple of phenomenal releases of deep, dub-influenced minimalism on Chinabot, Unknown Precept and Hard Return, King Rambo Sound graces New York Haunted with 4 tracks that combine Scorn's low end theory with intricate rhythmic programming and some hard hitting drums. King Rambo Sound aka Atsushi Akama is a member of the far-off Aoba Nu Noise DJs collective back in Japan. His repetitive, doomy tracks aim to kill subwoofers and keep your head nodding like it's going to fall off tomorrow. It's like that post-dubstep style you craved for in 2006 but couldn't find. It took about 15 years longer for this to actually be realized.

I'm very happy to be able to bring this to NYH, as the roster is broadening with adjacent styles that show you what's outside the stale, current wave of dark techno and trance synth driven powertechno. There are still roads to discover in 2021, there are still unknown regions in electronic music and there still is a lot of talent out there that craft the music to their own image. The truly awesome music King Rambo Sound is sharing with us right now is proof of that and will def give you some hope for the future. Expect this artist to be snagged up by Hyperbud or Rarp Wecords soon. Music for speaker huggers and the unafraid. Git it!

Japanese artist King Rambo Sound releases his newest EP, Strange Reality, on Chinabot
Analogue synths create an exuberant take on dirty acid and funky minimal
Repetitive beats, heavy bass and gritty textures mesh dub and techno influences

Sendai-based musician King Rambo Sound is releasing his first EP on Chinabot. Strange Reality (Japanese: 奇妙な現実) is an extroverted record: crunchy, repetitive beats and heavy basslines conjure up the sweaty hedonism of the club, tempered with an off-kilter sense of humour.

King Rambo Sound is influenced by reggae and dub - his name is a homage to reggae producers such as King Tubby and King Jammy - as much as techno and no-wave. Recorded with analogue Moog, Pioneer and Roland synthesisers, Strange Reality retains a full, organic sound. In King Rambo’s hands, dirty acid and funky minimal get a contemporary, energetic makeover.

"The world I see is very strange and sometimes grotesque," King Rambo says. "I am attracted to these elements. The daily record of these influences is in my music and living reality." While the grimy, repetitive meshes of minimal synths in Strange Reality explore the gritty undersides of experience, overall, his record energetically embraces even the strangest of realities we now find ourselves in.

King Rambo Sound "Beyond The Pale" [Hard Return]

1.Rest 06:56
2.Banish Dirt 07:03
3.Heat Conductor 11:52
4.Liquefaction Technique 11:31
5.Still Insane 09:57
6.Trance 06:06

After a phenomenal EP of dub-influenced minimalism on Chinabot back in June, King Rambo Sound harnesses the power of extended repetition for a new record on Hard Return. As he explains, this is “music about the pleasures we get from doing the same things in life. I use a sauna to warm myself up and then take a cold-water bath. Then I take a break and return to the sauna. After repeating over and over this process, my brain goes into a trance state. I sublimated this sensation into my work.”

Each of these six tracks skirts the rim of eternity. “Liquefaction Technique” wobbles upon the same pattern for 11 minutes, with subtle modulations renewing the vibrancy without breaking the spell. “Still Insane” hits a euphoric dead-end at about five minutes and crushes itself into the wall for the remaining four. As well as lifting the listener into trance states, longer duration allows for a deep appraisal of King Rambo Sound’s masterful rhythmic construction. Every hi-hat is perfectly placed. Every bass tone is perfectly sculpted. As the repeats keep coming, the exquisite beat-craft at the centre of Beyond The Pale only becomes clearer.
