Function - Disaffected

Tresor Records is fortunate enough to be sitting on a catalogue of past releases that no other label in electronic music would turn down. Three of the finest in this collection were contributed by Surgeon "Basictonalvocabulary", "Balance" and "Force + Form", which all came out between 1997 and 1999.

Surgeon's inimitable combination of Detroit techno and post-industrial sounds emanating from his British homeland found its fullest expression in these masterful trio of releases.

Following the release of Surgeon's first album in 5 years "Crash Recoil" earlier in 2023, Tresor Records have decided that it is high time to give these seminal albums another airing.

Dynamic Ukrainian producer Yan Cook makes his debut on Soma Records with the Wide Angle EP. Active on the scene for some time now and releasing on a number of top flight labels, Yan delivers a devastating 4 track EP, chalked full of his distinctive sound. 

The ominous title Wide Angle kicks things off with thumping and tripped out low end and doesnt hold back, firing straight out of the block with rapid percussion and twisted synth elements. Krater keeps up the pace with a more rolling and hypnotic feel; crushing rhythmic elements has Yan on full attack mode with this track. Blacklisted keeps up the aggressive vibes with sinister tones, growling basslines and yet more jarring and propulsive rhythms. Closing out with Red Stream, Yan continues with the malevolent vibes as dark and forbidding tones permeate throughout this perfectly crafted tool.

Yan Cook is yet another welcome addition to the ever growing roster of high quality talent on Soma.

The German producer and Kanzleramt label head present 3 sophisticated techno cuts that focus on pulsating acid lines and uncanny atmospheres.

Keith Carnal - Second Degree [SEC004]
Label: SEC ND
Release date: 27th November 2020
Vinyl + Digital

Amsterdam's techno talent Keith Carnal returns to his own Second Degree with a fresh four tracker.

Keith Carnal's techno has a signature sound that draws on rich melodies and locked-in groove - it is made for dancing but comes with an ominous feeling of melancholy that makes a lasting impact. He also layers in percussion that immerses his audience ever deep and as well as DJing around the globe has also released on Affin LTD, Arts and his very own Second Degree imprint.

He kicks off his latest powerful missive with the driving, rock solid kicks of 'Hope', a dark and alluring track where the heavenly synths bring the only light to the groove. 'Endless' is a peak-time cut that will have you riding on the edge of your seat thanks to its high speed arps and icy hi hats, all racing along over more firmly rooted kick drums.

Carnal's cultured studio craftsmanship is laid bare once more on the pounding, stripped back yet compelling 'Daily Route' which is linear techno with a soulful synth sound that takes you well into the future on a mysterious vibe. Closer 'Sadly Mistaken' has taught, pining kick drums and spooky howling synth sounds that are brilliantly unsettling as you march onwards.

Keith Carnal ‘SEC004’ drops on Second Degree in 27th November 2020.

Tracklist:
1. Hope
2. Endless
3. Daily Route
