5 Mag Premiere - Beloved techno producer and DJ @noncompliant1 has announced the release of Momentum Shift, the debut EP from her new label Giant Arm, out September 7 2023.

Giant Arm is designed to be a showcase for Noncompliant's "signature style of raw, uncompromising techno." Momentum Shift features four tracks that tick every box on that checklist — the rhythmic, radical and raw sound of Midwest techno crafted by one of our most essential artists. 

5 Mag is premiering the lead track from Momentum Shift. "Symptom Onset," like many Noncompliant tracks, doesn't "start" as much as it "warms up," like a great thermal engine gradually filling the room with heat, frenzy, sound and fury. Give it a listen and some love if you like it 👏

🎙 Noncompliant - Raised in small-town Indiana on a musical diet of 80s synth pop and punk rock, Noncompliant soon found barnyard raves and warehouse techno parties and (as DJ Shiva) quickly became a fixture of the fabled 90s Midwest USA rave scene. Now, almost three decades and a name change later, she is at the top of her techno game. She was recognized as one of Mixmag's Top 20 Breakthrough DJs in 2017 and has performed at renowned venues like Berghain and Tresor in Berlin, Smartbar in Chicago, and DeSchool in Amsterdam. She has also appeared at festivals such as Unsound and Movement Detroit.  Noncompliant's releases and remixes on labels like Valence, Flash, Outerworld, and Dark Entries have made waves in the global music scene, with her track "Women's Work" even landing on Fiedel's official Berghain 08 mix and his label Fiedeltwo. In 2023, she is launching her own label called Giant Arm, which features her signature style of raw, uncompromising techno.

Momentum Shift

Symptom Onset

Premiere: Noncompliant - Symptom Onset [Giant Arm]

“Anevite Void Remixed” showcases some of the many diverse influences on Erika’s critically acclaimed second solo album “Anevite Void”. 

Here her ambient album closer “Wandering Mountain” transforms into two faces of techno, first the monolithic hypnotic slab of sound from Mike Parker then to a powerful peak time melodic banger from Wata Igarashi. The other side features a totally different take on her influences, with Eris Drew delivering her “Body Rock Remix” fusing a number of styles to push the highlight of Erika’s album to new heights, and Whodat discovering a deeper side to “Tomorrow’s Fires”. The digital version includes a slamming techno and electro fusion mix from Noncompliant of “Anion”. 

Erika began performing live in Ectomorph in 1997 when she was gifted a TR-606 by BMG and asked to join the group. This grew to her building her own studio, performing solo as Erika, collaborating with people like Jay Ahern and Noncompliant, and performing as a member of Circle of Live. Her depth of thought and clarity of vision has led to her mentoring people on live performance through the In Bloom platform, where she has made a large impact on many up and coming musicians. 

Erika is currently splitting her time between being based in Berlin and Detroit, is part of the triumvirate that runs Interdimensional Transmissions (BMG, Erika and Amber) that are releasing this record and produce legendary events such as No Way Back, Samhain and Return to the Source. She performs live and DJs and collaborates and oozes sonic truth in its many forms. Visit the “Anevite Void Remixed” in fall 2023.
