Tresor

"Every 4,044 years comet Calanhi enters the inner solar system, returning from its cold and silent voyage through the Oort cloud. As it approaches perihelion, billions on Earth gaze into the night sky, transfixed by the celestial spectacle of their lifetime. While solar winds tear at the comet’s surface, deep inside the glowing ball of ice, ancient machinery springs to life."

Over the past five years Daniel Lodig and Martin Sovinz aka /DL/MS/ (@dl-ms) have been continually commuting through the electro singularity, constructing their unique brand of fragile bass music from extradimensional sound salvage, and spreading their frequency patterns via the subspace channels of @frustratedfunk, @pomelorecords, @vigram and TRUST. 

‘Calanhi’ is the Viennese duo‘s debut album – 12 tracks that combine the eternally fresh aesthetics of Detroit-style electro with a relentless curiosity for rhythmic and harmonic experimentation. Seismic club thumpers like ’Invisible Bits’, ‘Mountains’, and ‘Trusted Funk’ alternate with moody ambient interludes, boldly constructed beat inventions, and blissfully melodic acid breaks. Two collaborations further switch up the flow: Nigerian artist @g-rizo (@hezekinapollutina, Deejay Gigolo) drops her cryptic rhymes on ‘Divide & Conquer’, and Spanish singer Xx Isis xX (@isiskuaygarond) provides vocals for ‘Accelerated Frequency’.

Mastered by Keith Tenniswood aka @radioactiveman. Sleeves designed by dextro_org. 2xLP vinyl version ships with postcard and Bandcamp download code.

[TRUST40] /DL/MS/ - CALANHI LP [out may 2022]

The relationship between Central Processing Unit (CPU) and Shun begins in 2018, when the British label decamped to Tokyo to throw a party in the Japanese capital. Alongside a lineup which contained the likes of Fleck E.S.C., Shun was one of the local artists who DJed that night. Now, four years on, he links up with the Sheffield imprint in order to deliver dancefloor destruction in the form of new EP The Door.

There is some seriously tough club tackle here. Regular followers of CPU will be able to identify many of the sonic archetypes which have made the label a leader in the field of modern electro. These four tracks are backed by broken-beat machine-funk snaps in the vein of Drexciya, Jensen Interceptor and the like, and one finds a sense of dystopian futurism running through The Door which links it to other CPU drops.

However, there is also a gritty, saturated feel to these productions which marks Shun out from the pack. With their writhing, insistent bass melodies and heat-treated drum programming, opening cuts ‘Digital Slave’ and ‘Kishibi’ have plenty in common with the underground wiggle of labels like Super Rhythm Trax, while prominent use of 303s also provide these tunes with an acidic tang.

Another quality which distinguishes Shun’s vision is the inspiration he draws from anime. Track titles like ‘Kishibi’ and ‘Rohan’ are references to Kishibe Rohan, a figure from the manga ‘JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure’ in which the names of characters and their specific techniques are drawn from musical sources. This give and take with influences outside of music is further felt in how Shun makes liberal use of keyboard melodies that nod to horror and sci-fi movies - the introduction of such synths into ‘Kishibi’ and ‘Rohan’ give The Door an almost cinematic quality which is amplified still further by the vocal snippets which flit around the mix on several tracks.

Japanese producer Shun debuts on Central Processing Unit with The Door, an EP of hard-bitten, acidic electro bangers.

bandcamp Presale: burialsoil-label.bandcamp.com/album/cyrk…eundschaft

Berlin-based label. Burial Soil proudly presents a collaborative electro album initiated by CYRK.

For their album „Freundschaft“ CYRK has collaborated with Steffi, Anthony Rother, Ravn Jonassen, JakoJako, Jensen Interceptor, Alienata, Nite Fleit and David Carretta.
Over the last few years electro has had a massive resurgence. 
Since then, a new generation of producers has taken the genre under the microscope, recombining classic tropes and influences in new ways. CYRK is among the list of artists consistently pushing all things electro to new heights with forward thinking, dancefloor shattering and bass-heavy concoctions ready to turn your favorite club dance floor into a sea of spaced-out euphoria.
Early 2020, they decided to reach out to some of their producer friends as well as artists they’ve been admiring for years, to collaborate on tracks. As they see it, the electro scene is a very close-knit community and it felt more than appropriate to support each other this way.
A few emails were sent, a few calls made, and a list of heavy-hitters was assembled to exchange files and jam together remotely or in-person in CYRK’s basement studio: Klakson and Dolly label owner Steffi, Anthony Rother, Burial Soil label buddy Ravn Jonassen, JakoJako, Jensen Interceptor, Alienata, Nite Fleit and French veteran David Carretta.
BPMs are high on the eight tracks of “Freundschaft”, the end result of this collaborative process, incorporating various influences from electro-adjacent styles like italo, EBM or, unsurprisingly, techno.

TL PREMIERE : Alienata + CYRK - G Factor [Burial Soil]

A new EP by UK DJ / producer, Controlled Weirdness lands on Cultivated Electronics Ltd (CE's vinyl only sister label) in July. Heads will know Controlled Weirdness (real name Neil Keating) from his monthly radio show on Threads, his Presence Unknown label and Electric Sweat events. But he's actually been rocking the decks since the mid-'80s when as a youngster, Electro and early '80s pirate radio started his obsession with electronic music and he played his first gig at "The House of Dolls" in Farringdon where he soon became resident. After a stint in New York from 1989 he met Joel Bevacqua aka DJ Deadly Buda, who after returning to his hometown of Pittsburgh invited Neil to play at the first ever rave there in 1991, leading to a 6-month stint of events. Neil eventually returned to London in 1992 and started a radio show on pirate station Chillin FM alongside his sister, Stacey (later known as NoYeahNo). Many more events followed until in 1996 he formed Unearthly Records. Since then, he has played worldwide from plush clubs to dirty warehouses and has appeared on a variety of labels including Audio Illusion, Control Tower, Praxis, Zhark, Dirty Needles, Fdb and Still Raven. On 'In The Shadows' he delivers 4 earthy and raw Electro cuts with exciting electronics, tough beats and wonky acid.

PREMIERE : Controlled Weirdness - Inside Agitators [CELTD010]

"I've recently recorded a new project called Muladona, named after a book by the same name, about a cursed woman who turned into the devil's mule. I started recording at the peak of the COVID pandemic here in israel, and wanted to convey the tense atmosphere of the book and of the times.
In this project I've worked with less gear, and focused more on textures, to create an eerie, haunted and somewhat distorted sound."
"Every night, the Muladona, a doomed soul transformed into the Devil's mule, visits Verge and forces him to listen to a horrific tale. Each night, as Verge huddles under his bed sheets, the monster's supernatural tales tear his soul apart."

Mule Driver is a Tel Aviv based producer, sound artist, musician and DJ, Founder and Owner of Confused Machines label, bass player in the renounced industrial-punk band Mujahideen, and half of the library music duo Group Modular.



Mule Driver’s music is a dark tribute to the sound of classic analogue machines and acid-house aesthetics, wrapped up in a unique live delivery.
Throwing beats with fat acid bass-lines into a live dynamic mix to create his trademark sound - a fusion of dark, mechanic grooves with a strong soulful and warm feeling. Perfectly authentic and true to itself.
Mule Driver has carved a unique and singular voice in the local (Israeli) music scene and beyond. Playing on a regular basis around the world alongside acclaimed artists such as Legowelt, DMX Krew, I-F, Hieroglyphic Being, Psychic TV to name a few. He is a longtime resident act at IFM festival in The Hague.

Title: Ode To Gallantry
Artist: Lindenberg Support
Label: Shaw Cuts
Cat.: SC016
Date: 23/09/2022
Distributed by @triplevisionnl

Tracklisting:
A1: Lindenberg Support - C20-25
A2: Lindenberg Support - SKS (101)
B1: Lindenberg Support - Gate
B2: Lindenberg Support - Kinda Weak
B3: Lindenberg Support - Pol-1 (For Stefan)

Infotext:
Lindenberg Support is the man behind „Ode To Gallantry“, a complex and emotional tale of mistaken identity, trust and honor. 
The story begins with the beggar Shi Po Tian, aka the Bastard, stealing a bun which contains the Black Iron Token, created by skilled pugilist Xie Yanke, which grants the holder one wish. „C20/25“ and its pounding and pacy rhythmics, carrying pads and heavy hitting vibe, perfectly set the journey’s energetic and warm tone. 
Xie appears yearly, demanding that the clans repay in blood for any heinous act they committed throughout the year. The only way that a rude clan can avoid the cull is for the clan's leader to sacrifice himself for them. With „SKS (101)“ and its soothing and floating pads carrying the gentle lo-fi drums, the story heats up and evolves to a deeper intricacy. 
Fearing that Bastard might make him promise to stop his annual harvest of death, Xie spirits him away and trains him in martial arts so powerful that he is certain it will kill him, but instead, it makes him strong and resilient. The uplifting pads in „Gate“, supported by a reckless broken beat and pinging vocals, create a celestial vibe that pushes Bastard to his limits. 
He is rescued by the Chang Lo Clan that mistakes him for their villainous leader Shi Zhongyu and then treats him as their boss. With each case of mistaken identity, he becomes drawn into a number of heated conflicts between several rival schools and gangs - a dilemma that he just isn't prepared to deal with. The dreamy ambiance of „Kinda Weak“ and its well-wrought drum pattern slowly shroud the memories of his old life.
The final point is set with „Pol-1 (For Stefan)" - an emotive and profound ambient piece to close the story. He's sure to learn some valuable lessons about brotherhood and honor, but at what price?

The Hacker at Mechatronica [15-07-2022]

Refugeerator

LYREE003 is out tomorrow!
The title of the compilation is "Kuruka" (it means "to fly" in swahili - the cover pic was taken in Tanzania last year).

- TRACKLIST is:

A1. Temudo - Fuck Fifa
A2. JudaΣ - Σ-Range
A3. Quelza - La Charmeuse
B1. D-Leria - Berimbau De Boca
B2. JLTZ - Acid On The Rocks

The Berlin based label "lyree" continues its series with the release number "003" of the catalog. "Kuruka" is an electric and sparkling V.A. composed by Temudo, Judas, Quelza, D-Leria and JLTZ. The conceptual aspect of combining the arts of Music, Photography and Poetry is still well marked in this release, as well as the futuristic groovy and dark-tense sound that has characterized the label so far. From the rawness and aggressiveness of "Fuck Fifa" by Temudo and "La Charmeuse" by Quelza, to the "plasticky" brain-melting synths of "Berimbau De Boca" by D-Leria, passing through the darkness loopy " Σ-Range" by JudaΣ and the new acid of "Acid On The Rocks" by JLTZ, "Kuruka" manages to capture the listener's psyche and to drag him onto fiery dancefloors.

Each Record comes with a poem written by the label owner Valerio Polani as an insert.

Newinfluenzer is a Hamburg based DJ with roots from Poland, focused on New Wave, Electro and a hint of driving Acid sounds. 

While developing graphics and posters for Juicy Gang Records and POSSY, she got a monthly radio show „Electric Gym“ on Hallo.Radio which now turns to a recently launched party serie and collective called EGYM. Currently she’s working on a forthcoming EP together with her crewmate 11Schnull which will be released next year

Dropping in January 2023 is the reissue of DJ Shufflemaster's album EXP, which Tresor Records first released in 2001. This expanded reissue comes as a 3xLP with new artwork by Japanese designer Sk8thing and combines the original CD release tracks with three tracks from the Angel Gate 12" from the same year, including a remix by Surgeon of Experience. Also present is a previously unreleased version of Innervisions, which replaces the assonant synths of the original with a looped vocal sample upfront. Climb and Guiding Light will feature as digital-only tracks. 

Tatsuya Kanamori remains a critical component of the Tokyo techno underground scene, initially coming to the fore through the Subvoice label before releases with Tresor, Theory Recordings, and Japanese record labels such as Disq and Reel Musiq. At the moment of the original release, DJ Shufflemaster considered the record to draw in disparate and latent ideas into a fully encompassing mesh - "I would like to show my thoughts and everything that I am through the album. If it doesn't reflect my ideas and the reasons that I live for, there is no meaning for me to create an album. Therefore, EXP doesn't contain just one theme or concept." 

EXP represents an uncompromising and psychedelic slant on techno, with a purist's focus on the dancefloor. It bridges many avenues within the techno genre, from the minimalist, dubby terrains of tracks like P.F.L.P. and Opaqueness, to more fierce percussive works that share a kinship with the sonic movements in Berlin, Detroit and the UK. Beyond the technical, pared-down techno found in tracks such as EXP and Onto The Body, the album leaps into unpredictable territories frequently. Angel Exit carries mystical UK steppers moods as if it were a long-lost dubplate of The Rootsman. Kanamori delves deep into looping digital grunge in Flowers of Cantarella and Dawn Purple, these synthetic worlds enveloping and deforming at will. Bold and as fresh as ever, EXP is an unearthed jewel from Tresor's past for new ears.
