After three years in the pipeline, it’s about time for the @KATRAN full-time debut album: Darko Kolar of ONTAL dishes out an instant industrial techno classic, eleven tracks of no-nonsense hard-hitting assaults with four prolific guests bringing their very own sound to extend the musical range of “Above the Concrete“ in a most intriguing way. Expect no moments of rest, surrender to the force of banging repetitive power branded with a brave scrape-and-burn musical edge.
With a new version of his 2019 FORMS OF HANDS compilation track “Mirror Reflection” Darko Kolar dives straight into the driving dance floor material that he has been cutting his teeth on the half dozen KATRAN tracks released so far and takes it from there: Pristine sound design, various flavours of the almighty kick drum and traces of melodic ambience, floating above the industrial shrieks and screeches that litter the album.
The four tracks that have been produced in collaboration promise stimulating diversion: “Isolation” with Spanish DJ/producer SURIT evolves around a slow, pronounced bass line and suggests some deceptive calm, former Ad Noiseam act FAUSTEN tear up the rhythmic structure of “Envenomation” and conjure up chaos, French veterans ELEKTROPLASMA contribute some hardcore flavour to “Disruption” and “Sudden Closure” features noise legend KK NULL with uncontrollable outbursts of industrial debris.
Loop-based, repetitive industrial techno with an edge is a time-honoured and accustomed tradition that HANDS has been fostering since ORPHX’s 1999 classic “Vita Mediativa”, and “Above the Concrete” follows in those footsteps. Strong rhythmic energy to work up a sweat meet nuanced and layered sounds that elevate this album above the functional, above the concrete

Above The Concrete

Pre - Order

Katran - Isolation(with Surit)[Premiere I HANDS D273]

Kimisma is an Experimental artist based in Athens, Greece who creates worlds filled with horror and insanity, where reality gets distorted and sanity frays. Worlds that swallow the listener into a journey that evokes a spectrum of feelings, from despair-inducing fear to melancholy and confusion. By fusing Destroyed Industrial Techno with the haunting malevolence of EBM and Darkwave, and also incorporating the disruptive energy of Breakbeat and the paranoid surroundings of Noise, along with harsh vocals and screams, he creates an atmospheric field that transports the listener, enveloping them in a transcendental narrative, where dark, distorted soundscapes drenched in horror can meet the sorrowful strains of melancholic melodies.

OTTOMAN GRÜW - Transcendental Occurence [MMVA02] - 𝖋𝖗𝖊𝖊 𝖉𝖔𝖜𝖓𝖑𝖔𝖆𝖉

OMEN proudly presents its next sonic manifestation, featuring the avant-garde Japanese artist SHINTARØ KANIE. Renowned for his boundary-pushing experimentation and enigmatic soundscapes, KANIE delivers an immersive experience that delves deep into the darker corners of electronic music.

The release is a hypnotic journey, weaving through original compositions and remixes that reimagine the core essence of his work.

The title track, “Fragment”, is a deep dive into KANIE’s signature atmosphere, blending industrial textures with hypnotic rhythms that gradually build into an all-encompassing crescendo. The second original, “Resonate” is a track that embodies raw, unfiltered emotion, leaving a hypnotic haunting impression long after it fades.

Inside “Invalida” and “Transpose” is where SHINTARØ’s experimental spirit shines as he fuses traditional Japanese tonalities with modern electronica, resulting in a track that feels simultaneously ancient and futuristic, meditative yet intense.

Techno mastermind LUIS FLORES takes “Fragment” into a new dimension, injecting its own unique perspective while maintaining the underlying tension. Expect a more driving, floor-focused energy that pushes boundaries from the Mexican techno star.

AXKAN offers a completely different vision, stripping back elements and allowing the core themes to evolve into a minimalist but powerful tribal narrative.

1FM takes the subtle interplay between light and shadow in this remix that speaks to the very heart of the dancefloor.

This release marks a new phase in OMEN's quest to transcend the ordinary, where sound and silence collide in a delicate balance. SHINTARØ KANIE's visionary approach, combined with the prowess of LUIS FLORES, 1FM and AXKAN, ensures that this collection will be a vital addition to any discerning listener’s library.

Prepare yourself for the next chapter of OMEN Recordings. Dive deep, and let the music take you places words cannot.

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.
