We’re excited to present the fourth release on Serial Disc Touchers [SDT Recordings] — a label driven by artistic freedom and a passion for bold, genre-defying sounds.

For this instalment, we hand the reins to Michael Ius, who delivers a no-holds-barred Techno EP that goes straight for the jugular. Precision-built for the dance floor, these tracks channel pure, high-voltage energy with razor-sharp detail and depth.

To elevate the release even further, we've brought in none other than Lobster for remix duties. His reinterpretation twists the original into something raw and mind-bending, adding a fresh dimension while keeping the intensity intact.

This release is a tribute to the raw power of Techno. Intense, focused, and unapologetically driving, while continuing our journey of sonic exploration across a wide spectrum of electronic music.

SDT004 is a reminder that no matter the tempo or genres, we’re here to move you.

my fan

"GeAr is a two-piece from the San Gabriel Valley that uses their art to document disappearing cultures and wildlife while critiquing imperialism.  Most GeAr releases seek to bring attention to current or past United States imperialist activities with a primary focus on US actions throughout neighboring Latin America. Upcoming releases include albums documenting The School of The Americas and uprisings of Cooper Do-Nuts."
In this mix you can hear the sound of German Army, Enjoy!

LIES-151
Teste-Graphic Depictions 2xlp clips
to be released August 15th 2020
full info below...

The cult techno outfit "Teste" digs up and re-transmits sonic archives forming a new 2xlp for L.I.E.S. Full story below....lp comes with a giant newsprint poster as well.

Teste was still-born by the mid-90’s and with the ensuing PTSD I had become a SHUT IN working on the Amiga Computer for Audio and Video and completely immersed in grisly, depraved art-house cinema. This release pays homage to that time in NYC when I frequented Mondo Kims daily to rent the trashiest films I could find. Things like Richard Kern’s “Fingered”, Nick Zedds’s “They Eat Scum”, Makavejev “Sweet Movie”, Merhige “Begotten” all the classicks! The 42nd Street Mind forever! In retrospect I can’t believe they gave me a membership card! Wish I still had it!

MICRO BUDGET, DISCONTINUED FORMATS. All of the tracks on this release are sourced from decaying tapes (VHS, 4-track, DAT, MD) some of which were encoded to early digital formats to add another layer of artefacts and grit. I can emphatically proclaim these ideas have taken three decades to come to fruition at my present Partner in Teste (Goner) Berlin Facility. One chapter closes and another unfolds!

One day it’s 1992 playing absurd Teste gigs in a Sports Bar (Tailgate Charlie’s!) in scenic Hammer Onterrible opening up for Lil’ Ed and the Blues Imperials! You could just feel the love in that room! Referred to as the “Toilet Incident” by unsuspecting attendees. From that debacle another unfolded in an infamous “final” appearance at the Pure Party in Glasgow Barrowlands 1994 -which proved an unceremonious demise to the first incarnation of Teste… Details like most things from that era are foggy… No insta stories or tweets! Just instant cameras that didn’t always make it out of the rave!

After the Teste fallout then embarking on another Techno adventure for an extended stint in NYC from ’95-97. This proved a pivotal time to say the least. HUREN becoming a solo entity and the lasting shockwaves with Zhark which was a New York label in those days. Also in retrospect I can say I experienced the end of the NYC of old right when the “NO DANCING” by-laws were coming in. R.I.P Strange?, Sonic Groove (Manhattan),Liquid Sky/Temple, Save The Robots, Soundlab, Tunnel, Twilo, Limelight and others that slip the memory banks…

All I knew of NYC when I got off that Greyhound the first time in Port Authority in 95 after an 11 hour drive was from movies. I thought the city was like what I had seen in Abel Ferrara films “Driller Killer”, “King of New York’ “Bad Lieutenant” or the Schoolly D, or Wu-Tang Clan videos! Turns out I wasn’t too far off in a way as this was the era of the Club Kids depravity.

Upon reflection my formative clubbing years had an element of Crime in them as I’ve been in the proximity of two very well known serial killers. First in the 80’s when I attended a club Paul Bernardo used to Frequent in Ontario and later on the Limelight NYC with Michael Alig. Definitely casts a sinister tinge to some of the memories. Curious coincidence the party I performed at in NYC was called KILLER… And I myself was almost murdered in 2012 but that’s another story…

Sound Synthesis is the alias of Keith Farrugia. He started releasing Electro music in 2009 on the @Paul-Blackford label @MilitantScience, and after a break, he is back behind the machines producing music at a staggering speed! He mostly uses VST plug-ins, however has acquired a Moog Grandmother and a Microbrute and is integrating those into his workflow.

Side A1 -  Adaption
Side A2 - Inside your Mind

Side B1 - Riding The Cosmos
Side B2 - Robotique Electronique

Inside your Mind EP 

Keith wanted to explore more in depth more sounds for dance-floor oriented tracks with added space sounds from the future! Adaptation is a more sound design oriented, Robotique electronique goes hand in hand with Riding the cosmos , more spaced out acid electro! Title track inside your mind something for the listener to get lost in.

Sound Synthesis - Adaptation

It’s been over a year since his last EP, but finally, it is with mixed feelings that the Brainwaves crew have decided to release Thomas Bodenständig’s sophomore album, Speed Am Rhein.

Sometime in May of this year, our friend Thomas got in touch with us once again, sending us a box of 66 hand-numbered cassettes in mismatched dusty cases along with an enigmatic letter from his home in North Rhine Westfalia. Most of the letter unfortunately consisted of incomprehensible rambling, but we were able to gather that he was delving in high-speed trading in periodic visits to Frankfurt, that he had some sort of pulmonary affliction with complications and that he wanted us to release his album before the end of 2020 no matter what. We immediately tried to get in touch with him through all traditional channels, but in the months following the package, we received no response to any of our phone calls, letters, emails and soundcloud messages.

2020 has been a complicated year for everyone, and losing all contact with our german associate has been devastating to the entire crew. Since May, all five of us have been doing all that is in our power in order to get in touch with Thomas, but he seems to have completely disappeared. His apartment is vacant with no trace of his departure, his favourite barstool in Leverkusen’s dirtiest Kneipe is gathering dust and his cellar seems to have been emptied of all of his recording equipment. We have sent our notorious alien friend Brian to comb the streets of Leverkusen, we have been looking behind every barstool in every sleazy bar in the region, we’ve even checked all local hospital and morgue records in order to find some trace of his name, but to no avail.

It has been a long search and we do not plan on giving up, but we have finally decided that it is time to follow the great man’s instructions, and so today, after six months with no news from him, it is with a mixed emotional bouquet of sadness, pride and nostalgia that we release Speed Am Rhein and put the 66 cassettes on sale.
