Erin Hopes is an artist born and raised in the outskirts of Glasgow, in what’s most commonly known as the shire. Hopes spent her early years exploring and enjoying the Glasgow club scene where she eventually touched base in London to study fine art at the Chelsea College of Arts(ual). The interdisciplinary artist became most keen on the element of sound during her final years of university where she realised that the process was like a rabbit hole, waiting for anyone to dive into. She is captivated by the process of making and releasing music, in engaging with her audience and fellow artists. She now finds herself in not only a vulnerable, yet powerful position.

BIO /-
Giuseppe Sciretti aka Nigh/T\mare is an Italian DJ & producer (born in March 1995) and based in Foggia (IT) his hometown and place of Birth, where since a very young age he starts exploring the world of music in all his ways.

His constant research for new sounds will soon bring him in the darkest rooms of Electronic Music.
Nigh/T\mare productions hide behind an Experiment that lay between Techno & Ambient, with a very deep concept made of music and nightmares.

His strong Dark hints created by the Synth and his post-industrial settings reveal a drone sound that turns into Music with a unique Signature.

In 2016 he becomes a resident Dj at the ISF Festival and for the upcoming Summer, he will be playing a one-night monthly set where the artist will present his concept and other guests will accompany him. In late Spring his first official release with an EP on DVNTT.

Unhuman aka Manos Simotas was founded as a noise project in 2012 in Athens with the release of his first tape, entitled Emperor Black on Species Productions and then a split tape with To The Lovers Farewell on Red Venice Records. Delving deeper into radical noise, experimental and industrial music, a whole new world of possibilities opened up to him when he moved to Berlin in 2012.

After founding the Lärm-Alarm-Lärm festival, he combined the idea of underground music and more experiential events going onto organizing workshops which encompassed experimental & interactive audio/visual performances in a project space called Shift which led to his current project Liber Null Berlin which unifies the freedom of arts in a conceptual event and a record label.

At the moment, Unhuman tours in venues all around Europe and Asia and is a regular act in many of the major Berlin clubs. He was resident Dj in the city of Paris for two years and nowadays he is a resident artist at Constant Value Seoul. He released on labels such as Veleno Viola, Monolith Records, AMOK Tapes and Instruments of Discipline.

Beginning life as an FTP project after the pair became friends at a mutual concert in Vittoria. Envisioned partly an experiment and part of the soundtrack to a modern day remake of cruising set in Dubai. The duo's music is akin to the mutated screech of the werewolf... in a darkroom.

Taken from the forthcoming J. De Sosa/Buried Alive - 'Threat Behaviour' EP on Vaagner.
Out 30th November on Cassette/Digital

Tormented visions of industrial, EBM and noise, muffled under layers of resounding squalor and feedback. Vaknar 09 is the first outing of the impenetrable 'Buried Alive' alias, who will compromise half of the split tape together with Strange Rules/Summer Ilse's associate J. De Sosa, creating a blistering contrast between insulating drones and abrasive noise steppers.

Taken from the forthcoming 'Atomic Spawn' EP on Monolith Records
Out 31st September on Vinyl/Digital
 
 'Atomic Spawn' investigates again the Human Condition, through the combo Fire at Work; a sensational contribution for the label, where the radical journey from the millennium end of the Roman project finds exactly its own dimension. 

The sounds and visions of the two producers are coming directly from the most radical electronic counterculture's pot, the industrial dimension and the radical sound choice seem to be the best and right way to tell the story of a dystopian reality, a meaningful choice useful to criticize humans and their civilization.

The complex of the Fire At Work production represents an act of cultural resistance, therefore Monolith Records seems to be the right and naturally follow up of a long multidisciplinary journey. This release is the meeting point of two generations sharing a similar electronic counter cultural background, in the middle of the ruins of a modern world which is nothing but a ripped-off planet, a consumed scenario where the radicalization of the exclusivity leads the beings to the recurring Post Humanistic alienation.

The music journey develops through cuts deliberately violating the borders of genre and style, leaving to the dark decaying soundscapes the duty to shape coherence. The overall dimension of this work floats in a tension between the mental form of the synths and the implacability of the concrete drumming asset, that alternates straight and broken beats merged by the same obsessive character. In order to consistently remark the intention behind the production, the Remix by Hypnoskull for 'Re_Sample The Future', a tool shaped by an heavy distorted timber that brings lyrics to clarify the common denominator of the EP: a totalitarian vision of reality involving the rejection of the status quo, together with the roles and the scopes of a totally dehumanised system. The 2.0 Man is unarmed and similar to a cadaver, and his desires and senses are reconciled by a perpetual stream of information, a data replacement of reality. The one-way direction streaming can be interrupted by noise, as the element able to distort meaning the unexpected element occurring in the middle between the matrix of the message ed his audience. Given such conditions, the style choice becomes part of the concept itself, and it is far from any kind of 'induced' choice.

Fire At Work - Re-Sample The Future (Hypnoskull 'Arbeit Und Feuer' Mix)

3.14 is the electronic music project of Alex π, Greek-born DJ and producer.

From UVB-76 Music’s fractal personnel rises Karim Maas. A familiar face behind a new mask, Maas, one of the sonic panjandrums at the core of the labels sound creates an aural experience that bleeds between genre and tone with striking ease.

Explicitly undefinable by genre, Maas employs a recurring sound palette that binds his compositions together as a cohesive body of work which is conducive in series. As one-third of Ruffhouse and a founding member of production outfit 4 6 2 5, Maas’ obsession with hardware and outboard production kit is demonstrated by the warmth, body and sheer power of his work.

Melancholy and chaos punctuate the macrocosm of ZAGAM. It is a project combining many aspects, the universe is largely inspired by the dark and mystical era of the "black death" pandemic in the fourteenth century. The theatrical side is marked by the traditional dress of the doctor of yesteryear and his famous mask raven. With dark, experimental, industrial techno, ZAGAM seizes the hell and the resident evil.

"We often find ourselves in an unexpected place and there is so much left to learn. Try to come up with something new everyday, since the meaning of everything is creation. World would not be out there otherwise. Taking previous experience as a baseline, humanity is changing the world constantly. We all do, for better of worse."
