Fluid's Trauma Response is part of his "Translating Emotions Into Waveforms" EP which sonically expresses the experience of existing as “the Other” in a world of compulsory homogeneity.

With each track, Fluid presents a tugging war between growing anxiousness and the grounding (but vulnerable) strength of authenticity by forcefully combining drifting hypnotic textures with raw and driving beats, thus delivering an energy balance throughout the EP that ranges from tense anticipation to an explosive, hard-hitting release.

Any amount paid above €4.00 for the complete EP and €1.20 for individual tracks will go directly towards Fluid’s gender-affirming top surgery fund, as well as half the revenue from all sales at the minimum price.

PREMIERE I Fluid - Trauma Response [SUBVERTED]

PREMIERE I Lesser Of - Violets (SUBVERTED)

After a successful remix in 2022, SHE!K returns to OMEN Recordings with his solo debut EP. The London native brings his signature modular-based music with four aggressively raw originals that will shake your insides and claw at your brain. On remix duties is another return from Polish star HATELOVE, and a second one from label boss AXKAN.  

Taser Ace - Mechanical grooves lead the way to monstrously maddening tones, built on pure noise, they sit lurking and impatiently waiting to destroy dance floors.   

Blowhole - Industrial 4/4 drum grooves meet distorted tops that are pure peak time energy from beginning to end. The porridge is just right on this one. 

Haze - This has to be the most driven track of the release. A no-mercy, broken beat masterpiece full of heavily distorted nuances that will keep you on edge. 

Subterfuge - The title track brings forth a truly beautiful sub-bass paired with relentless techno melodies that will shred your nerves to pieces.  

Haze (HATELOVE Remix) - Industrial drum grooves meet distorted tops that is pure peak time energy while keeping you on edge.   

Haze (AXKAN Remix) - The label boss’ heavy industrial/broken beat rework brings about cinematic tones that bleed into futuristic sonic madness and hi-tech hellscapes. 

This EP will be available in digital format everywhere. It paves the road for carefully crafted dark and industrial techno to inspire many. For more information visit: facebook.com/omenrecordings or at our online store at omenrecordings.bandcamp.com.

IOD PREMIERE #021 // UNHAPPY - In The Bleak Rivers [عـَدَمْ Remix]

this track is a poignant reminder of being so close to the still on-going war scenes and the harsh realities that people in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict are still facing on a daily basis.

my friend from Lviv send me the recording of those flight alarm sirens in 2022. it became a constant presence sound that our friends in the Ukraine still have to endure.

i felt the idea of using the art of music to morph this recording into this track, to use it as a tool to raise awareness about the importance of ENDING ALL WARS everywhere immediately.

art has a unique ability to transcend boundaries and reach people on an emotional level. it can help convey the human toll of conflicts and inspire empathy and action. by creating a track that incorporates the sounds of sirens and captures the emotions of those affected by war, it effectively draws attention to the urgent need for peace.

plus addressing that it all starts and ends with the "war in our heads" is also crucial. often, the internal conflicts, biases, and prejudices we hold can contribute to external conflicts. promoting inner peace, understanding, and compassion can have a ripple effect that extends to the broader world.

remember that art and music have historically played a role in social movements and advocacy, helping to shape public opinion and catalyze change. by creating a piece that resonates with people's emotions and experiences, it contributes to the dialogue surrounding global issues like war and the importance of finding peaceful solutions.

ultimately, the goal of ending wars is a complex and multifaceted challenge, but raising awareness and fostering a collective sense of responsibility for peace is a meaningful step forward. 

ask urself:
what things are you feeding in the shadow?
what will you do when the drums of war pound in your ears?

"Having been deck slaying as near their London headquarters as Germany and as far as Canada, goth techno prodigy Lesser Of is steadily approaching double digit release count. With an established residence at queer x trans focused, revolutionary event series Subverted, their efforts have been welcomed to a formidable list of industrial electronic labels and remixed by a tidy sum of high profile scene icons. Here at Depth.Request our sonars are attuned to emanant potential, and so we conscript Lesser Of to hammer out our fourth acetate offering to date. To this, harsh noise and drone music inspirations are declared, alongside an artistic secret of the trade: lights-off sessions in live room of a recording studio vibrating with the pulse of a bass guitar ran through a freeze pedal were what begot the tracks, and they are well intent on assaulting your headphones with noise. Reeko on the remix—yes, this record fucks.

Prolonged, ominous intro? Nah. Have a face full of Crude Manifestation Of Power instead, as an insatiable, 10-minute long opener braces your ears for a week of ringing with a sonic equivalent of metallic thrashing one could expect from being a sinful, rave-lusting scoundrel. On title-diverting continuation Within My Fragility the words "strength in fragility" are truly alliterated as the pace, abrasiveness and intensity of pummeling are all ramped up fiercely, with linear open hats thrown against them from time to time for good measure. Having reached 140 BPM and concrete mean, Masked proceeds in a well anticipated ra(n)ge: infernal atmosphere, sandy hats and layered tectonic tremors achieved with increasingly undefined low end consisting of a rumble line and rolling kick morphing into abrasive haze. Winding the tempo back a notch, a halftime-arranged contemplation Our Descent grows in direct, hyperborean vector: glassy drones and sharp syncopulsation first—atonal reverberations, distorted arpeggios and punchy stabs endwise. Reeko's analog reinvention of Masked convolves the drum structure by borrowing from breakbeat narratives and authorizes the dystopian ambiance to rise and fall on more gradual, panning, confined terms; adding, however, more disorder to the mix with spectrum slicing, high-range chaos.

As you would have learned to expect from Depth.Request, Within My Fragility EP is not an easy listening five-tracker. If by the end of it you find yourself feeling as if you just stepped out of a pounding warehouse at 3AM and you don't know what day it is, you wouldn't have been experiencing this mindspace alone." - rhetor

We curate queer sex-positive parties with equally queer line-ups, featuring mostly non-binary and trans DJs. Our aim is to platform artists with gender identities that are under-represented in the music industry, showing that it is possible to have more inclusive and diverse booking practices without a decrease in musical quality, but in fact with an increase by bringing new and previously unheard perspectives to the dance floor.

Discovering and nurturing new talent is at the very essence of SUBVERTED. We stand in resistance to the homogenisation and sanitisation to which the techno industry has been subjected in recent years via formulaic, easily-digested productions and repetitive line-ups, and intend to continue opening the industry's gates for a new generation of artists that are pushing their own unique and fresh take on dark industrial techno.
