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.

In anticipation of the next release on Eaux, a mini-album collaboration with Polygonia entitled "Dermatology," I have decided to release a rare recording of one of my live sets, taken from this year's Mostra Festival, located in the historic Montjuïc Castle overlooking Barcelona. Performing in the evening in this majestic location with the open-minded Mostra audience, I felt especially free to let this set unfold even more slowly and patiently than normal. Some of the material is taken from the upcoming release with Polygonia, so it also functions as a sort of hidden sneak preview. I hope you enjoy the journey :)

Forest Drive West is the alias of producer Joe Baker from Plaistow, East London. His music has created a stir across the UK underground and beyond, with stripped-down, atmospheric and hypnotic techno tracks contrasting with his heavier, jungle-influenced sounds – all with a connecting thread that explores intricate rhythms and inventive percussion.

Since 2016, Forest Drive West has been building a rapidly growing catalogue of releases, receiving critical acclaim for records on labels such as Livity Sound, Ilian Tape and Rupture London. His ‘Jungle Crack' and ‘Set free’ EPs show a stunning command of sound design and complex rhythms, and they remain some of Rupture London's most sought-after releases.

Forest Drive West @ Mostra 2024 🖤

@oscarmulero is one of those artists whose sound is immediately identifiable. It has had an unwavering depth, headiness and atmospheric richness to it for more than 30 years, which is a remarkable achievement few can match. A famous non-conformist, the Spaniard's top-tier three-deck mixing skills and ability to distil techno to its most hypnotic form have also long stood him apart, as have his Polegroup and Warm Up labels.

Mulero's consistency of sound means you know what you're going to get with this mix: spaced-out, layered and deep techno brilliance. Whether more dubby and roomy or glitchy and intense, it's music for both mind and body from one of the scene's most low-key but high-class veterans. Turn it up loud and look forward to more of the same when he plays at Dekmantel Festival later this year.

Played a mix of vinyl & digital for Afterglow's Eastern European wine / pierogi party -- starting with an entrée of heady deep, melodic, and minimal house followed by a big platter of synthpop, Eurodance, and Italo delights. I even took some requests in the last hour! 🙀
