MINA LORD
"Lord of Flies" [EP]

Mind and reason will erode as irrational fear begins to dominate. In the hunt for the beast some become hunter some become prey.

Mina Lord is creating doom and experimental electronic music, crafting a maze of distorted rhythms, haunting atmospheres and twisted structures and dynamics. With a background in drumming and contemporary music, she forges heavy , roaring as well as defined and complex drums with a unique transcendental drive. Her music is a distinct fusion of genres, taking inspiration from Metal, Djent, Punk and Classical music, woven seamlessly together, often distilled into pure industrial and power electronic experimentation as well as relentless rhythmic noise and
heavy unbending darkness.

Produced by Mina Lord

MINA LORD - The Prey

Order: https://depthrequest.bandcamp.com/album/structures-of-chaos

Serbian powerhouse KATRAN, the mastermind behind Jezgro label and one half of Ontal, unleashes four colossal, rhythm-driven, noise-infused industrial techno anthems accompanied by nasty remix from talented 6SISS. This meticulously crafted dystopian soundscapes are engineered to obliterate any dancefloor, heralding the chaos. Handle with caution: this is dangerous material.

The album ignites with intricate drum patterns that thunder like tanks across a barren, icy wasteland, while haunting atmospheric elements loom, setting a menacing tone for the journey ahead.
Next, a feverish descent into robot’s nightmare ensues, where mechanical drum liturgies weave relentless tension, immersing listeners in a post-human auditory realm.
As the odyssey progresses, doom-laden horns and mechanized drums merge to unleash subversive, devastating frequencies.
Just when the intensity seems to peak, filthy analog sine waves bubble through obscurity, pushing the boundaries of industrial techno music to its limits. Annihilation is the word that resonates here.
Closing the chapter, one of Belgium’s finest producers, Peter Adrienssens aka 6SISS, delivers a sinister remix showcasing his hyper-cerebral syncopated signature - bringing the release to another level of chaos.

“Not for the faint-hearted” is no mere euphemism for this EP; it is a stark warning that demands to be heeded. Jean G

EUE
"Pensée Transversales" [EP]

https://vumantra.bandcamp.com/album/pens-e-transversales

EUE
Appreciated by aficionados of hybrid Bass Music, Eue (pronounced as you like...) soon boasts some thirty releases (Album - Ep's - Singles), feat. with a dozen musicians and as many different labels (U.SA, U.K, France, Ukraine). He works in a palette that extends from Neo Soul to Drum n' Bass, as well as from Lo-Fi Hip Hop to Industrial Techno. Used to performing in France and Ukraine, his releases of live shows (guitar and keyboard in hands) oscillate between dancefloor and concert formats. Attentive listening and letting off steam. Creating a dark and psychedelic atmosphere that would be the perfect soundtrack to a film noir or a dystopian thriller.

DESCRIPRTION EP

Some records don’t just make sound — they dig deep. Pensées transversales, the new EP by French producer Eue, is one of them: five tracks plunging into a mechanical, alienated world where industrial techno meets heavy bass and the twisted energy of braindance.
The textures are raw, metallic, suffocating. Kicks strike like pistons, synths cave in under their own weight. Eue isn’t here to seduce — he shapes a dystopia haunted by collapse, neither better nor worse, only stripped of illusion.
Yet in the noise, there’s catharsis. Pensées transversales are a purge, a way to confront chaos head-on. The sound becomes a scream, a shelter, a frantic dance through anxiety toward truth.
The EP’s visuals deepen the impact: four videos expanding the nightmare. From sterile supermarkets to factory hell (as the track “Metropolis”, featuring Ukrainian artist Tineidae), a raw image of social breakdown unfolds. Then comes an abstract architecture — cold, brutal, disembodied, and finally twisted figures writhe and rebel in one last burst of frantic life.
In Pensées transversales, sonic brutality is a means to survive. A music that wounds, shakes — and frees.

Statiqbloom - Desolate [Self-Release]

Pre-order: https://depthrequest.bandcamp.com/album/if-you-do-then-when

Depth.Request proudly announces the debut full-length album from French electronic artist Pierre Berge-Cia — a culmination of two years of dedicated experimentation and creative exploration. This inaugural LP represents a significant milestone in Pierre Berge-Cia’s musical journey, showcasing his innovative approach to electronic music.

Crafted through experimental processes and delving into themes of tension, control, and movement, "If You Do, Then When?" unfolds as a visceral journey through the complexities of bodily and sensory experience. Each track is designed to reflect the human body in all its shapes and forms, using innovative sounds and structures to evoke physicality and movement, and aiming to resonate with listeners on a deeply corporeal level.

The album was produced using a combination of the Elektron Digitone synth, a Mackie CR1604 mixer, a Shure SM57 microphone, and a limited selection of digital plugins to maintain sonic consistency. Mastering was handled by Pierre’s close friend, Stefan Brown — also known as "Lesser Of". His expertise as a top-tier sound engineer at Abbey Road Studios helped shape the LP’s pristine and powerful sound identity. Additionally, the tracks were tested and refined using some of the electronic scene’s most beloved sound systems, ensuring an impactful club experience. 

The album’s artwork, created by Pierre Berge-Cia himself, is a reinterpretation of one of his favorite art performances: "Rest Energy" by Marina Abramović and Ulay. The tension of the drawn bow and the close-up framing of the subject evoke a palpable sense of danger and emotional intensity, mirroring the physical and psychological strains within human connection. Pierre used his own hands as the model, infusing the artwork with a deeply personal and intimate touch that amplifies the psychic gravity and thematic cohesion of the album.

Pierre Berge-Cia’s debut LP is a multi-sensory experience that challenges listeners to feel sound in its most physical and affective form.
