Techno

"Although Duchamp now offers everything from trench coats to trousers, the core of the collection is very much occasion wear for men who love dressing up, with velvet tuxedos and evening dresses for events from big nights out to a day at the races. The brand has proved to be a huge hit with the wedding market…after all Duchamp is all about the feel-good factor, and what could be more important than feeling good on your biggest day?" ~ Rrose

When I came to London last year to join fabric and head the A&R for the artist led label Houndstooth I got dragged down to Hackney Wick for what was going to be a life changing techno event of the rawest level. This happening is what has inspired my series of Warehouse Sessions, where I have reached out to my favourite techno artists and asked them to get inspired by that unique thump thump betwixt concrete sounds that industrialised techno spaces always provoke and provide a suitably banging mix for my Electronic Explorations podcast series.
This week I've kicked off another round of mixes lead by Our Circula Sound man Sigha, London resident Ø [Phase], Semantica Records boss and Spanish producer Svreca, Italian producer and co-owner of Repitch Records Shapednoise (One half of Violetshaped) and finally a US producer who has released on Sandwell District & Stroboscopic Artefacts, Rrose.
December 2012 brought mixes by USA producer Skirt, UK producer Truss aka MPIA3, Stormfield & myself, Irish and Greek producers AnD and French producer Kangding Ray (his being voted EE mix from all shows in 2012)

M_Rec Ltd 21 - Forward Strategy Group - Levity

A: A Marvel
B1: Levity
B2: Learned

Release date: June 2014 (Vinyl)

OVERVIEW:
The duo behind Forward Strategy Group returns with their first release in almost a year. Following the success of the “Labour Division” album and “The New Formal” EP (both on Perc Trax), Al Matthews (Bleaching Agent, half of Blacknecks) and Patrick Walker have worked with Max_M and his M_Rec Ltd. to bring three complex and hypnotic cuts to vinyl fans and djs around the world.
“A Marvel” sounds like an ode to the label’s vision. It’s a trippy and layered loop made of molded, elastic sounds that subtly mutate, aided by a warm, but stripped down and forward driving groove. Its crescendo is paced and systematic, a celebration of experimental techno.
On the flip side, the due brings in a small dose of their industrial heritage. Initially, “Levity” is a more brutal affair, with it’s groove formed by an unforgiving bass drum and a rolling mechanical refrain. What grows around it is unexpected thou’: with a melody of analog synths that brings back memories of the best Detroit and layers of gelid soundscapes, the drum programming shifts to the background and the track transforms into another hypnotic and brainy experiment.
It’s a similar deal with ‘Learned’, although things are a little bit more martial and aggressive here. While the atmosphere is still crepuscular and sidereal, the drum programming maintains center stage with an old school stomping loop and an ‘in your face’ bass drum.
Max_M continues to cherish relationships with dedicated techno veterans and this Forward Strategy Group release is just another chapter in the label’s celebration of underground techno.

(M_RECLTD1002 - 10")

Release Date: 29 July 2014

OVERVIEW:
Time for the second black label M_Rec Ltd 10”, a series of no-frills vinyl records used by Max_M to deliver dancefloor oriented tracks to djs and techno fans around the world.

On one side, Max_M delivers an irresistible joint that thanks to layers and layers of elements manages to surprise beginning to end. That high pitch bell sound, which is somehow becoming a trademark in Max_M’s productions, splits in multiple directions generating soulful melodies and grooves. A perfect track for peak time.

Fabrizio Lapiana’s cut is an introspective journey rich in modular-fueled melodies. Its mellow refrains pay tribute to ambient classics and trippy British electronica, while the drum programming sets the track into a techno context, groovy and forward driving.

Token followers can rejoice that now, 2014, Surgeon finally makes his official debut on the label. 'Fixed Action Pattern' comes as prequel to 'Aphelion', a forthcoming compilation of new and exclusive material. Aphelion will differ from last year’s Token Introspective mix CD by providing a collection of bespoke productions from Token regulars and like-minded artist who were commissioned by label owner Kr!z to bring their individual and complimenting sound to the Belgian imprint’s all-consuming 48th release.

Anthony Child has appeared on Token once before in 2008 remixing Grovskopa’s Sex & Violins, and while regularly supporting the label’s music in his DJ sets, it’s been a long awaited six years for UK techno’s most trusted producer to resurface on an imprint he’s helped inspire and influence. Surgeon’s two-track Fixed Action Pattern certifies Token’s credentials as a titan power in the world of no frills, industrially hardened techno, and this 46th release since the label took shape in 2007 follows this year’s Vaudeville LP by Inigo Kennedy, Orphx and Ancient Method’s relentless debut as Eschaton, Ctrls’ fifth EP for Token, more quality output as usual from Ø [Phase], and Christian Wünsch & Oscar Mulero’s second release for Kr!z as Spherical Coordinates.

Combining distorted drums similar to his earlier works on Dynamic Tension with a rusted synth progression Inigo Kennedy enthusiasts will inherently gravitate toward, “Fixed Action Pattern” is a bona-fide, rhythmically broken, Surgeon classic. For a second option Child provides a spatial dub version Lee “Scratch” Perry would produce had industrial techno been his thing, sequencing a loosened variant of drums disjointed by the injured swing of its tempo, cloaked in the lonesome moans of a distant fog horn, subtle feedback loops and splashes of space echo.

After last month's haymaker drop on Rhythm Nation, Dublin's techno trailblazers are readying their follow-up punch. This time it'll land on hometown imprint Major Problems - the label responsible for sharing their debut release, which resulted in them being handpicked by Levon Vincent for his apprenticeship program in Berlin.  

Second Labour of Hercules sees the duo delving deeper into the world of rusty percussion and bubbling aquamarine synthesis. Our pick, "Second Labour", is an eight and a half minute odyssey, slowly crescendoing to an all out sonic barrage. 

This one drops July 22nd. Preorder here: http://bit.ly/1UFSLti

Terriers "Second Labour" - Boiler Room Debuts

from 'Saravá Exu Remixes' [LP|DIGITAL]
Denovali Records · den236
available on all formats at [http://denovali.com/rd]

In January 2015 we brought you ‘Sarava Exu’ - Ricardo Donoso’s most demanding album filled with arcane musings and rich cinematic majesty highly lauded by international press for its high degree of sophistication. Now, a year later we present ‘Sarava Exu Remixes’ – a collection of reinterpretations’ by some of the most talented musicians working in contemporary electronic music today.
Industrial techno luminaries Orphx take the reins on leading single “Vesperum” and turn its bombastic ‘Zimmeresque’ landscape into a pummeling piece of broken techno in a way only Christina & Rich know how, despite the current swarm of dilettante’s trying to emulate their sound.
John Flynn’s Spaces, responsible for production duties on Björk’s Vulnicura album closer ‘Quicksand’ mangles and lacerates album central point ‘Gallicinium’ to near indistinguishable form with huge nods to early era Warp. Archie Pelago breaks down ‘Matutinum’s dark core and provide a beautiful arrangement for strings & horns including some dramatic accompaniment for the tracks main 11/8 ostinato. Dark ambient pioneer, and label mate, Thomas Köner ends the proceedings with a mind-blowing interpretation of ‘Diluculum’; ‘Sarava Exu’s complex and multi-dimensional closing number into a sophisticated piece of sub glacial tones & atmosphere, focusing instead on the inner side and calm characteristics of a fairly violent tune, recalling his early work for Barooni in the early nineties. A new window into the universe of ‘Sarava Exu’ by some of the most compelling electronic musicians working today.

Ricardo Donso - Vesperum (Orphx Remix)

A Bee Mask: Headband - Peter Van Hoesen Remix
B Peter Van Hoesen: Breach

Chris Madak (aka Bee Mask) epitomizes the dissolution of distinctions between music for the mind and the body. His stunning live performance of ‘Headband’ at the 2014 Labyrinth festival left Van Hoesen dazed and enthralled. This was the origin of the remix found here, which perfectly conveys the themes of ‘Stealth’. The remix is complemented by one of Van Hoesen’s own productions, the epic ‘Breach’.
