The fourth chapter of the Kri discography was conceived in the cold northern parts of Europe by a well-seasoned electro producer and Gravitational Waves label owner, Dj Nephil aka System Disorder.

Sharp electro-minimalism on the Horizon Rising EP is ranging from hypnotic and subtle to a punkish kick in the arse. Lush textures, bitter-sweet acid, and thick bass lines are looking past trends to create a lasting record. Adding extra weight to this polar electro voyage are remixes by two among our favorite producers, Alonzo and Univac.

 1. Dj Nephil - Empty Heads
2. Dj Nephil - Sex Shop
3. Dj Nephil - After Fiction
4. Dj Nephil - Unnecessary People
5. Dj Nephil - About Next Plans
6. Dj Nephil - About Next Plans (Alonzo remix) 
7. Dj Nephil - After Fiction (Univac remix)

Available as lathe-cut vinyl and digitally on the 21st of September 2023.

Premiere: Dj Nephil - After Fiction [KRI004]

https://www.juno.co.uk/products/magda-rot-soft-metallics-vinyl/953840-01/
Chilean artist Magda Rot makes a head-turning debut here with some ice-cold electro rhythms on the Return To Disorder label which is now fast approaching a quarter century of releases. There is no messing with these sounds - they're built on tight, kinetic rhythms with fierce sound designs and stark futurism. 'Triads' is a mix of crisp hits and gurgling synths with dramatic background chords. 'Black Sense' is a slamming cut with a twisted bassline and hammering drum funk and 'Coincidences' brings the chilliness with its frosted lines and cold waves of synth. 'Unusual Theory' shuts down with a far sighted sense of electro-techno doom.

Dance Mécanique EP: Unleashing the Pulse of the Mechanized Symphony

Embark on a sonic journey through the labyrinthine landscapes of machinery with Alpha Sect's upcoming EP, "Dance Mécanique." This vinyl release, destined to echo through the underground, serves as a pulsating manifesto against the encroaching takeover of our world by cold, relentless machines.
In Meredith, Alpha Sect crafts a sonic portrait of a world on the verge of mechanization. His haunting voice, draped in delay and reverb effects, weaves seamlessly with the beats of EBM and the cold melodies of Post-Punk. This sonic tapestry creates a hypnotic soundscape that mirrors the evolving relationship between man and machine.
Dance Mécanique, the titular track, unravels the dance of humanity entrapped in the mechanized rhythm of everyday life. Here, the gritty beats of EBM and ethereal echoes of Coldwave serve as a mirror reflecting how, at times, we move mechanically, lost in the repetitive motions of a world dominated by cold efficiency.
Liberty serves as the closing act, a sonic plea for emancipation from the cold embrace of industrial gears. The track's pulsating energy builds to a crescendo, echoing the urgency of breaking free from the constraints of the mechanized world.
The EP also features remixes from two legendary figures in the electronic music realm—The Hacker and the dynamic duo of Mick Willis & Blackmoon77. Brace yourself as they deconstruct and reconstruct the mechanized symphony, adding their unique signatures to this sonic manifesto.
The vinyl's artwork, a depiction of marionettes suspended in the cold embrace of industrial gears, encapsulates the EP's thematic core. It's a visual metaphor for the dance between man and machine, a tango on the edge of automation.
"Dance Mécanique" is not just an EP; it's a rebellion against the mechanization of our world. Feel the rhythmic pulse of resistance as Alpha Sect invites you to dance on the edge of the impending revolution.
As the needle meets the vinyl, let the resonance of "Dance Mécanique" immerse you in a world where man and machine collide in a dance of defiance, awakening us from the mechanical stupor that threatens to engulf our existence.

Dalmata Daniel ‎– DDS08
Filmmaker / Petros Spatharos
[12" Vinyl / Digital]

Dalmata Daniel welcomes Filmmaker and Petros Spatharos for the eighth part of their split series. This obscure 3-3 track vinyl is the debut of the Columbian music maker on the label. However, for the Athens-based producer it's a return after his participation on "Dalmata Daniel eats Lahmacun" compilation. But this project isn't their first collaboration, because Petros released his first album on Body Musick, Filmmaker's own imprint.

Filmmaker probably doesn't really need to be introduced to those who are comfortable with contemporary underground music. In less than five years he has composed and released a huge and relevant oeuvre by himself or on labels such as the UK-based Opal Tapes, Dutch Tartarus, Greek Phormix or the German Veyl, etc. To add Dalmata Daniel to this list is kind of a dream come true for the label, because they have been following his musical journey since the beginning. And no doubt, his side of the vinyl is another testament to his already perfected sound. What you recognise from the first moment of this noisy, industrial, sometimes dissonant ebm driven electro, infused with a film noir atmosphere and total darkness.

While on the flip side, Petros Spatharos keeps the obscurity going, which is the real link with his split partner's music. Only his sound is clean, not chaotic, but rather underworld techno with an extremely restrained tempo and some beyond-the-grave acid screams. That's how this inferno journey will be complete with full of dark emotional atmospheres and hypnotic textures.

DDS08: Filmmaker / Petros Spatharos [SNIPPETS]

MM PREMIERES are meant to transcend the ordinary and immerse themselves in the sacred realm of music, beholding the unseen and embracing the new melodic tapestry even before it unveils itself to the world.

Dalmata Daniel is excited to introduce the eighth installment of their split series, featuring Filmmaker and Petros Spatharos. In this edition, they present a unique 3-3 track vinyl, marking the debut of the talented Colombian music maker on the label. For Athens-based producer Petros Spatharos, it's a welcome return after his previous contribution to the "Dalmata Daniel eats Lahmacun" compilation. Notably, this collaboration isn't their first, as Petros released his inaugural album on Body Musick, Filmmaker's very own imprint.

On the flip side of this release, Petros Spatharos continues to embrace obscurity, a common thread that ties his music to that of his split partner. However, his sound is characterized by its cleanliness and a distinct lack of chaos. Instead, it embodies an underground techno vibe with a highly controlled tempo and eerie acid undertones that seem to echo from beyond the grave. This journey into the inferno is laden with dark emotional atmospheres and hypnotic textures, culminating in a track premiere titled "Maneuver To Infinity," which showcases Petros's signature style.

MM PREMIERE 017 | Petros Spatharos - Μaneuver To Infinity [Dalmata Daniel]

Buy here: https://pinkman.bandcamp.com/album/midnightlife-crisis

Following up his anthemic late-summer burner, Hope, Credit 00 returns to Pinkman to deliver the album Midnightlife Crisis. Hopping between genres whilst remaining resolutely coherent, the twelve-track LP is a showcase of the Rat Life boss’ many influences.

From the driving, mesmeric techno of Music Is A Spiritual Thing to the sci-fi electro on Bouncing Bell and Love Warrior’s downtempo, half-time shuffle, the collection of tracks is broad and varied yet simultaneously unified by belonging to the club.

Whether it’s warm-up material, peaktime rollers or afterhours sludge for tired legs and scrambled heads, there’s something for every scenario on Midnightlife Crisis.

And with recurring themes of melancholy and anxiety throughout, the album perhaps reflects that all too familiar period for every club enthusiast when the years are ticking by and the lights are coming on.

“I just hope there’s hope”, sings the voice on the album’s lead single, before reminding us that the dancefloor’s sweet release is often the best remedy to these negative thoughts - “I see you shaking on the floor, that gives me hope, gives me hope.”

Shutters Studio Residency: The Synth Fun Continues - The Fourth Episode is Here! 

Shutters and Kommerz Records are delighted to announce the release of the fourth episode of Shutters Studio Residency, an exciting new video series that takes viewers on a captivating journey behind the scenes, offering a glimpse into the artistry and innovation that unfolds within the walls of Synthesizer Studio Hamburg. This episode features the Berlin based multi-faceted artist Selassie, as he showcases his musical prowess and unique style.

Born in Ghana and shaped by the vibrant landscapes of his upbringing, Selassie is a multi-faceted, self-taught artist who breathes life into his art with an extraordinary palette of colors. Approaching his creative journey with a sense of naivety, he remains at heart the curious kid from Accra, Dansoman, allowing his experiences to shape his artistic expression. “My sound is related, actually, to how we used to walk to school and just move freely with a sense of innocence,” he explains.
Originating from a dance background, he effortlessly translates the fluidity of body movements into the delicate brushstrokes and vibrant hues that adorn his canvas. Through this fusion of dance, visual art, and music, Selassie weaves a tapestry of poetry within his songs, offering a transparent conversation with himself. 

"Breaking the stereotypes and the mentality of kids from Africa to Europe."

"Son of Kafui: Playlist Four Ma Mother," the remarkable debut album from Selassie, self-released in 2019, serves as a poignant introduction to his artistry, deeply rooted in hip-hop influences. The album title itself cleverly encapsulates the essence and pays homage to the four most influential women in his life: his grandmother, two aunties, and his beloved mother, Kafui. Tragically, his journey to Germany, following his mother at the age of fourteen, was marked by her untimely passing a few years later.
Alongside a repertoire of noteworthy singles, Selassie released his highly anticipated second studio album, "Hidden Identities" on his own label Emotional Intelligence Agency (EIA) in 2021. The album marked a significant milestone in his artistic journey merging sounds across hiphop, jazz, house and African melodies. However, Selassie has recently returned to the captivating allure of single releases, showcasing his ever-evolving creativity and artistic vision, with cuts like “STAR SIGNS” (Sony, 2023) featuring German rapper Badchieff - his biggest song to date. 

Selassie takes the stage in Shutters Episode 3, captivating viewers with his dynamic presence and enthralling sound. With his latest offering, "Free Form," Selassie delivers a hip-hop-infused sonic experience drenched in synths, reminiscent of the iconic Kid Cudi. 

Shutters Studio Residency presents a rare opportunity for talented artists to immerse themselves in the creative atmosphere of Synthesizer Studio Hamburg. Founded by renowned German engineer legends Sunny Vollherbst and Frank Husemann (known for their work with Tocotronic, Tomte, Blumfeld), this iconic studio resides within the captivating Feldstraßen bunker and offers a unique collection of around 30 vintage synthesizers, organs and pianos, as well as 16 drum machines and beat boxes.
.
Shutters Studio Residency and partnering label Kommerz Records are providing this platform for artists to push the boundaries of their sound, explore the possibilities of vintage analog synthesizers and present their creative creations.
