There’s a story behind these four excellent tracks, by Fotoapparat, that makes this release so important to listen to it! 

These dark, modular and at the same 
time industrial sounds , it seems that they came as a blast from the past but in a futuristic and cyber blend too! 

"FOTOAPPARAT was born somewhere in Europe, around the 21st century. The project is thought as a multimedia experiment with roots both from the past and the future : it is the fruit of the love of strange music, social science fiction and last but not least, underground electronic subcultures. 

To this day, FOTOAPPARAT has released music on Dostonos Records, Ukonx Recordings, Bones Hear Nothing and Diffuse Reality Records."

If you love the blend of the early 80s electronic and techno music , then you are gonna love this "Ep"

"The Eye" ep is for sure one of our fav releases.

Enjoy and keep greying!

Mokre’tzy Konstruktor - Form N1

Dead Channel is proud to present Forms, a new album, from Mokre’tzy Konstruktor. A monumental mutant minimal synth masterpiece, filled with gnarled electronics and dystopian soundscapes.

Based in Russia, Mokre’tzy Konstruktor is one of the best kept secrets of minimal wave and experimental electronics. Fusing gritty synths, mangled drum machines, delays, alien vocals and an improvisational style, Forms is destined to be a new classic.
Influenced by music’s psychological impact on perception of the surrounding world, and spelled out in their own words, Forms is “an attempt to cut through its dark component, to quickly reflect the emotional state of the moment. Inspired by reflections on the frailty of life... The attitude towards what turns out as a result is devoid of claims and musical ambitions; just an experiment to get to know yourself better.”

Available on cassette and digital on April 2, 2021.

A small edition of 100 copies of Solvent's "RDJCS5ep", now with all-new artwork and including 2 postcards with photographs of the synth, will been released by Suction Records on 11/27/2020. Available for PRE-ORDER now, only from Suction Records (http://suction.shop), and Bleep (https://bleep.com/release/210931-solvent-rdjcs5ep).

Artist: Solvent
Title: RDJCS5ep
Label / CAT#: Suction Records / suction022 (repress)
Format: 12-inch vinyl EP / digital
Release date: November 27, 2020

Solvent’s “RDJCS5ep” was originally released in 2011 in an edition of 300 copies, and quickly sold out. The EP was made entirely with a very special Yamaha CS-5 synthesizer, owed by David Borean, who now co-runs Suction Records alongside Solvent. This CS-5 was previously owned by Richard D. James and has the liner notes to Aphex Twin’s seminal “Selected Ambient Works Volume II” hand-etched on the bottom of it. Those etchings were photographed and used for SAWII’s artwork.

Fast forward to 2020, and David has decided to sell the Yamaha CS-5 - it’s currently up for auction on Ebay. We decided to use the opportunity to take some new photos, and to create a special 1-off repress of Solvent’s “RDJCS5-ep” to mark the occasion. Our 2020 repress is strictly limited to 100 copies, and comes in an all-new full-colour, reverse board jacket, along with two Yamaha CS-5 postcards. Like the original, our 12” repress contains an additional noise/drone piece at the end of side B. Entitled "Sandpaper”, this cut is individually hand-etched by Solvent, directly cut into the vinyl, for a one-of-a-kind cut/click/loop experience. Here’s what we wrote about the EP in 2011:

Occasionally one reads about some musical instrument with an illustrious past, such as Jimi Hendrix's guitar or John Lennon's piano, selling for exorbitant amounts of money at auction.  And typically, that's the last of it; the instrument disappears into some rich collector's display case, never to be heard from again.  Here then, is a bit of a different story. In April 2006, a Yamaha CS-5 monosynth once owned by Richard D. James (Aphex Twin), with the actual liner notes for his landmark "Selected Ambient Works Volume II" etched into the bottom, was sold at VEMIA auction.  The winning bidder was in fact a friend of Solvent’s, and the synth ended up residing not in a display case, but in Solvent's studio on generous long-term loan.

"RDJCS5ep” - a new 4-track 12-inch / digital EP by Solvent - is the result.  This is suction022.  Each and every sound on this record came from RDJ's old CS-5, painstakingly programmed and multi-tracked by Solvent over the course of several months. The limited capabilities and sound palette of this humble little synth provided quite a challenge but ultimately the results are not merely an exercise in technical synth-nerdery; "RDJCS5ep” speaks more of Solvent's musical kinship to thee Analord. The opening track "Curtains" bears similarity to early Rephlex signing Bochum Welt, while "Radiator," "Mould" and "Tassels" each contain hallmarks of the classic AFX sound.  At the same time, each track also sounds distinctly and unmistakably 'Solvent’.

1000 Years of Good Luck

Premiere: Great Ghost - Send You Off

AIR LQD, a continuous exploration of hazard-sounds and a whirling challenge to sonic limits. The Belgium groove-maker delves into the meanders of
the human consciousness through hazy and abrasive rituals. Spooky, murky mix which takes shape in a rich composition of mysterious languages and turbulent music, mixed with the now-classic punk attitude and ethics of the
Unknown Precept’s co-owner, who investigates sci-fi and social criticism concepts through uncompromising music.
