Release Info :

Shun - The Door [Central Processing Unit]

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.

TL PREMIERE : Shun - Rohan [Central Processing Unit]

''Through consumption and entertainment' is the latest full-length compilation from the Sons of Traders label in collaboration with Mutant Radio. It features a gritty cast of affiliates of label owners Mike Tansella jr. and TANS who curate this release. Alys sets the scene with "EMX Tube Gain" featuring powerful distorted subs building up to atmospheric stabs and haunting harmonies. It's followed by Asymmetrical's hypnotic banger "Mistake at work" fully equipped with lasers, syrupy synths, and pounding kicks. Amsterdam's Bertram nudges the tempo up with the punchy "Clabo den bo caha di morto", a dusty take on electronica that means 'nail in your coffin' in his native Aruban language. Providing a momentary cleanse is Bill Converse through syncopated acid lines tied together by modulating pads and 909-like thuds on "System fun". Chris Mitchell returns to the label and delivers an insidious chugger that gradually reveals its sinister scorched-earth side with "Top 40 dancefloor".

"Down in the park" takes no prisoners and is a kaleidoscopic electro banger fitted with a droney synth and crunchy drums brought to us by London-based Chupacabras. Belarus' Elena Sizova slows things down with "G.S.V2", a psychedelic downtempo trip that inspires reflection and melancholy. "Foundation guilt" is a rolling acid bomb with watery lines and vocal samples by Berlin-based Jaundice that is coming to a dancefloor near you. JT Whitefield raises the temperature further with "Dead beat", an industrial behemoth with evocative strings over a seared wall of rhythm and textures. "A secret" sees Kosmik deliver an unforgiving acid thumper that tunnels through the body with rolling drums, subtle delayed vocal cuts, and distorted claps.

Prague-based Malachi Constant furthers the second half with the adventurous and aquatic "Whale Hunt", which packs massive 808s and intriguing passages that pull you into the abyss. "Monitor eyes" is a narcotic cut by Midnight Climax with wooden and metallic percussions accompanied by fleeting samples and lasers that leave room for the drone to roam free. The next track comes from O:M:E:N, who stuns the body with "SBTMSK", a distorted goa-inspired gem with ravey elements and piston-like hats and claps. Also returning to the label is the Detroit-native Robert E. Livingood with a hypnotic interstellar soundscape on what sounds like a 9/8 tempo.

Sons of Traders bless this release with their classic proto-inspired sound full of hard-hitting drums, synth-driven rhythm lines, and ominous vocal samples through "La repressione". Fresh off a recent album release on the label, the Russian producer Stas Zavyalov drops another relentless analog-powered bomb with "JSR 1202". TLXCO sets the scene in the closing moments with a spacey acid trip that sucks the listener into the void with "Don't talk to me". Closing off is veteran producer Vinilette with driving dark synths, gothic bells, and electro-tinted drums with "Nightmare".

Release Info :

-40.715921 [ECU006] by FRANCOIS DILLINGER

FRANCOIS DILLINGER uses subtlety and forcefulness in this release in order to create a cohesive aesthetic. "-40.715921" is experimental in its own right, with the sounds of delayed acoustic arrangements building slowly and interweaving to create an immersive atmosphere. The full EP is fast-paced, but not in an overly frenetic way, and nevertheless enjoyable.

"Overlapped" is a bold statement. It opens with a bass-heavy groove that is heavily syncopated and often delayed. The beat becomes heavy and raucous, with swaths of distorted synth roars that are somewhat dark. The music maintains its intensity of experimental noise as it moves from one side to the other. Don't let the silence fool you; this music is loud and packed with a punch!

We are pleased to present a track "Cyber Level" by Midnight Totem from LP "Race To Live".

After a long illness, Midnight Totem, a Rennes-based artist, started producing electronic music at the end of 2020. Inspired by Aphex Twin, Extrawelt, Muslimgauze or Alva Noto, she delivers their 3rd release, "Race to Live", for Tripalium Corp : a cassette album made of dark and immersive atmospheres, but also naive melodies.

She describes her dreamlike and unknown spaces in which she feels safe. She's the little girl who wanted to go back to space...

Los Angeles based Ole Mic Odd (Michael Padgett) hits Dead Channel with this highly anticipated scorcher of an EP.

At the forefront of mutant sounds, Padgett hammers his way through pumped-up, biting acid electro, lo-fi fuzzed out melodia, and absolutely mangled percussive tracks shattering your wrecked body into a thousand pieces. The musical vanguard seamlessly fuses rhythm and sound from the far reaches of modern dance music, culminating in this sinister work of preternatural maximum overdrive.
