Lucerne-based Maria Sternhagel Vollmann (@hackgedicht) delivers us a mix of ambient, IDM, mellow beat-driven tracks and German obscurities. She processes things from the past and the present, all this with a portion of provocation towards herself and to the audience. The perspectives are changing and you have the choice of where you stand as a listener, an attempt to rethink immutable principles – for all of us. Enjoy the trip!

R|A|S Records Mix 014 | Maria Sternhagel Vollmann

Schneider is a Freiburg based duo that tells those everyday stories everyone has already experienced. Stories of desire and lost love, a confrontation with short-lived and powerful encounters. Their debut release Mitternacht is a two-track 7“. The name-giving A-side is about the desperate search for some love, accompanied by a distorted bassline, melancholic synths and echo-ringing church bells. The B- side culminates in howls of emotion. The perfect soundtrack for lonesome walks in restless morning hours. 

Release Date: 15.10.2021.

RAS005 | Schneider – "Mitternacht" 7"

Dunkeltier macht Spaß! A friend told us it's long awaited. So yes, now the saga goes on. Luckily! With a pinch of salt. But it’s not a hoax! Years after the EPs on Macadam Mambo and Bahnsteig 23, das Dunkeltier is back on wax, this time on the German label Reach Another System aka RAS Records. It comes as no surprise that it's a surprise box drawing from the bottomless pit that is the 80s. And again, these edits are closer stylistically to his dark side project boldly named GOTT than to his more gleeful mainstay alias Sneaker. The sources of these four obscurities are only revealed to the third ear of the knowledgeable digger, but let us give you a hint – gathered are Teutonic Titans, a Bauhaus offshoot and a digital symphony orchestra. Kein Spaß!

RAS-EDIT1 | Dunkeltier macht Spaß! 12"

Longtime music activists Rawmance and Asymmetrical from Rome have joined forces to create new music under the name 'La Nuit Je Mens'. Their debut work, titled 'Les Nuits Magnétiques', features two of their songs on a hand-stamped 7" vinyl. Utilizing a bass guitar, analog synthesizers and vintage drum machines, their music is infused with French vocals, lending it a cinematic touch and a sense of depth. While strongly inspired by the sound of the 80s, this record establishes its own unique identity, offering something new and refreshing.

RAS006 | La Nuit Je Mens – Les Nuits Magnétiques 7"

Teatro Del Metapresente is the debut album by La Nuit Je Mens, a duo hailing from the Parisian suburbs and southern Italy. Now based in Rome, the two artists have crafted a striking sound that merges their DIY ethos with raw, unfiltered energy. 
Driven by synthetic, minimalist rhythms created on a fleet of analog machines, the seven tracks pay homage to the sound of the '80s – yet entirely forward-looking and embracing the dancefloor modernity. Blending genres such as EBM, synth-pop and minimal-cold-wave, paired with French vocals, the album delves into themes of underground activities, the slow decay of the club scene and the depths of emotional yearning.
Released on the Berlin-Basel-based label Reach Another System, Teatro Del Metapresente follows the previously released 7” and reinforces the duo's own sound and unique identity.

RASLP002 | La Nuit Je Mens – Teatro Del Metapresente 12“ LP

The German-Swiss friendship is further established with BiGOTT, the collaborative project between Berlin-based Sneaker and Zurich's Scannoir. After their previous releases as ½GOTT and GOTT on Uncanny Valley and some remixes, the duo returns with a third solo EP, marking their first appearance on the Berlin-Basel-based label Reach Another System. Their passion for EBM, Synth Pop, and New Beat comes to life with a fine array of classic drum machines and FM-synths, topped with Teutonic lyrics and archival samples. The A-side opens with a bang: "Magnet" critiques social expectations and pressures, backed by hard-hitting snares and tom fill-ins in Front 242 fashion. Next up, "Tschernobyl" warps the listener back to 1986 – a musical report of the Soviet nuclear disaster. Equally dystopian, the B-side hymn "Matrix Leben" depicts life inside a structured system that continually shapes and restricts us. The final track "7 Minuten" pushes the limits of restless staccato EBM madness. Mission accomplished!

RAS002 is the upcoming EP from Frankfurt based Antonio aka Raw Ambassador. The A-Side with + 39 (085) – 65126 and Terrore is perfectly suitable for peaktime club use – merging unconventional synthesizer sounds and proper kicks with dark and crisp vocals. The B-Side is a flawless exhibit of Raw Ambassador’s EBM influences: The beat in Clidro forcefully pushes things forward, while Scissors, a slow eight minute jam, brings the EP to a tranquil, yet impressive close. 

12" comes with an A4 inlay.

“All Human – No Conditions” is the first solo EP by the French producer Itako. The opener “The Country That Does Not Exist” is a slow burning and bass-driven tune in which hypnotic synth and acid lines merge with North African vocal pieces. Thereafter, Itako shows with “Freehands Desire” his darker side. A mid-tempo composition with massive drum patterns and forward-moving melodies. On the flip side, “Groove That Dust” is screwing the tempo back down. Six minutes of an irresistible groove where we assume no one can stand still. The release is rounded off with a remix by MR TC. The Glasgow based musician stretched “The Country That Does Not Exist“ into a tribal workout with breaks in which he lets the machines speak for themselves.

Release Date: 31.01.2020.
Edition of 200 copies.

Strangers For Love is a solo band project by Alessio Di Mezza, also known as @religiusorder. He sings, plays guitar and programs a bunch of synthesizers and drum machines, all in his home studio in Frosinone, Italy. The 7" is the first physical release and forms a connection between the past and the present where all his influences from punk over shoegaze to dark wave come together. While the A-side takes you on a melancholic and in hall flooded journey of self-discovery in which nothing seems to matter, the B-side lives from screaming guitars and vocals that will bring you back to the here and now. An emotional and weird trip from hate to love and just the vehicle to write your own journey.

Edition of 100 copies. Hand stamped and numbered.

Release Date: 18.09.2020.
Presale starts from 04.09.2020.
