After starring in one of our most popular Against the Clock episodes, it's Tom Demac's turn on the FACT mix.

Demac has been releasing music for over 10 years, since launching the now-defunct Electronique Audio label for his own productions in 2004, but has really risen up the house and techno ranks over the last few years, releasing on club strongholds like Hypercolour, Aus Music, Drumcode and Pets Recordings.

His FACT mix centres around unreleased material: it opens on an edit of Gazelle Twin (Demac recently released an EP on HypeLTD, editing material from the Brighton musician's recent album Unflesh), and features three tracks from a new EP, Smoke Satined Ivories, due on Aus on March, as well as a handful of other edits Demac has made for his sets: tracks that he's "run through pedals and added octaves here and there".

It seems weird to think of Demac being 10 years into his career now, but his FACT mix shows him at his most authoritative. Oh, and he's definitely not forgotten that sometimes you just need to beat the listener round the head with a massive bassline, either.

FACT Mix 483 - Tom Demac (Feb '15)

SUCK FAKE - BENTLEY GT

As heard in Ben Klock's Boiler Room set.

My official remix of the Infiniti classic "Game One". The original track was created by Juan Atkins and Orlando Voorn. This remix was released in 2007 on wax as part of a double pack featuring mixes by Santiago Salazar, Los Hermanos and more on Orlando's Night Vision label with artwork by Haqq. It was then re-released digitally in 2014 on my RF label as part of "Selected Remixes One",  buy links for that below. Appreciate the support. - RF

Infiniti (Jaun Atkins/Orlando Voorn) - Game One (Rennie Foster Remix)

Out now. Vinyl & digital release, with the Nik Colk Void remix being digital only.

Support from Ben Klock, Pacou, Truss, James Holden, Shifted, Tommy Four Seven, Cassegrain, Blawan, Adam X. Josh Wink, Xhin, Go Hiyama, Edit Select, Phase, DVS1, Terence Fixmer, Marcel Dettmann, Ivan Smagghe, Moerbeck, Agoria and more.

Perc Trax proudly presents the first EP to be taken from the forthcoming Forward Strategy Group album ‘Labour Division. This first vinyl 12” takes three of the best tracks from Patrick and Al’s debut album and adds 2 remixes from white-hot synth/industrial fusioneers Factory Floor.

Opening up the EP is the album’s title track, a classic Forward Strategy Group lesson in restraint as the track’s central percussion hits get continually worked over six and a half minutes, forming a hypnotic groove that has been a key part of Perc’s DJ sets this year. Next up is ‘Mandate’, where a semi-broken rhythm hint at classic electro as vocal syllables and stabs echo across the stereo field.

On the b-side ‘A Greyed Out Life’ showcases one of Labour Division’s more atmospheric moments as pulsing synths build over classic soundtrack pads. Gracefully fading in and out the track makes its mark on you without outstaying its welcome.

Finally we have the two of three forthcoming remixes by Factory Floor of album cut ‘Nihil Novi’. Since surfacing a few years ago the London trio have lived up to the hype thanks to their blistering improvised live performances, releases on DFA, Optimo and Blast First Petite and their associations with such legends as New Order’s Stephen Morris and the ex-Throbbing Gristle pair of Chris Carter and Cosey Fanni Tutti. 

First up is Gabriel Gurnsey’s synth lead interpretation, firing out similar drum hits as Factory Floors recent ‘Two Different Ways’ single and topping it off with a twisting monosynth line. Nik Colk Void provides the 2nd Factory Floor remix, following in the path of her recent ‘Gold E’ single on the O Genesis label with an abstract take on Nihil Novi, rippling with guitar noise and distorted bass blasts.

Juno Plus review http://www.junodownload.com/plus/2012/05/23/forward-strategy-group-labour-division-review/

Forward Strategy Group present Labour Division, their debut album that follows a string of releases on Perc Trax, their own eponymous label, Stroboscopic Artefacts and Dynamic Reflection. Since their early days releasing on net labels to their current position amongst Europe's most respected techno outfits the Leeds/Edinburgh duo of Al Matthews (Smear) and Patrick Walker have always done things their own way. Drawing on their vast knowledge of electronic music's history Patrick and Al produce music where notable reference points are fused with new ideas to create their own distinctive sound.

Labour Division finds the Forward Strategy Group at their most melodic but also their most brutally uncompromising. Throughout the album the tracks shift between a range of atmospheres and timbres which in turn guide the listener though a number of different listening states, holding their attention and encouraging active listening rather than the passive, barely-there engagement often induced by less adventurous electronic albums.

The first five tracks aim to grab the listener's attention from the very first bar, whilst the tracks making up the second half of the album go deeper the listener, introducing more immersive sounds that hint at influences far beyond the realms of dancefloor techno.

Album opening 'Ident' surprises from its opening moments, being more melodic than you have ever heard the Forward Strategy Group before. The track harks back to the synth workouts of the 1980's but coated in a layer of industrial grime that sets out an aesthetic that runs through the rest of the album. Mandate and Elegant Mistakes both revolve around the kind of semi-broken rhythms which have been a characteristic of both the Forward Strategy Group's output and that of the Perc Trax label of late. The former track builds up layers of delayed stabs and whilst the latter has echoes of classic UK hardcore as the distinction between drum sounds and processed human voices begins to blur.

From then on the duo serve up a blend of metallic percussion and reverberant stabs, effortlessly switching from widescreen soundscapes to razor sharp exercises in minimalism. Metal Image and Industry & Empire trade on their depth whilst Cultivar rounds off the album hinting at post-punk guitar textures without you ever being sure if your ears are hearing live instrumentation or not.

As you reach the end of the album it is clear that this is one of the rare occasions when a collaboration is exactly that, a meeting and melding of the history and skills of two individuals to create a cohesive album that is the key moment for the Forward Strategy Group so far and opens up endless possibilities for their work after the album.

Smooth.
