A decade after his last musical masterpiece on Perlon, Montreal’s renowned electronic maestro, Horror Inc. (alias Marc Leclair or Akufen), returns to captivate with “A Soundtrack for Strange Times”. Released under Anoma, curated by the city’s own Ohm Hourani, this 4×12″ offering is nothing short of a cinematic journey.

With each track, the album crafts a narrative that takes listeners through introspective valleys and exhilarating peaks, all without uttering a single word. It’s a seamless tapestry of sound, a testament to Horror Inc.’s matured artistry and profound understanding of the electronic landscape.

The influence of Montreal’s eclectic spirit is unmistakably infused throughout, giving the album a unique, resonant character. Truly, “ Soundtrack for Strange Times” stands as a monumental testament in electronic production – a magnum opus that transcends the ordinary.

For every lover of electronic music, this album is not merely an addition but a necessity. It’s not just sound; it’s an experience, an odyssey, and an affirmation of Horror Inc.’s unparalleled prowess in the world of music.

H1 - There Is Only One Way To Find Out

G2 - The Time Has Come To Say Goodbye

G1 - The Faded Heart

Lyrics:

Walking hand in hand, beneath the summer skies
Lost in conversation, love shining in your eyes
The warm breeze gently brushes against our skin
As we make memories, our hearts overflowing within

Oh, these summer skies, painting colors on our souls
Whispering secrets only the stars can know
In this moment, we're infinite, caught in sweet surrender
Oh, these summer skies, a love that will forever remember

"'Hmm...' sees RR picking up where his previous releases left off with this hypnotic minimal techno gem that combines spacey, textured synths with shuffling techy beats and a rich, dubby bassline"

Looks like I made another Techno for this Sublime Saturdays at Gelato Vero Caffe in San Diego. Oops. Still repped a little Disco; still repped a lot of Deep House; but I swerved like a fanatic into some Hypnotic Techno. There's a thick psychic layer of creative energy there, so it's not surprise I could successfully pul off something so unlikely. You just need to be there to feel it. A lot of it wouldn't fit into that specific genre, but it was the vibe I decided to build out of nowhere. It was a hot night and no one seemed to mind. In fact, I was rewarded with some "oh sick" smiles and some nodding heads. This may not always happen, but it felt like there was no way around it. Techno for an answer.

Sun In My Eyes

Sun In My Eyes [FREE DOWNLOAD]

Dripzoid is not a track that relies on weight or darkness. Instead, it thrives on a sense of play: fragments of rhythm and texture that seem to test their own limits, shifting in and out of focus, recombining with an almost mischievous logic. The groove is steady at its core—a measured four-to-the-floor beat around 124 BPM—but the surface is constantly unsettled by detail. Percussion flickers, samples appear and vanish, the bassline bends rather than anchors.

In this approach, Dripzoid joins a lineage that values experimentation over convention. There are echoes of Akufen’s restless sampling, of Herbert’s playful manipulations of everyday sound, and of Villalobos when he lets the beat dissolve into improbable shapes. At the same time, the track’s lightness and curiosity place it closer to the more idiosyncratic corners of Perlon, the understated eccentricities of Playhouse, or the quieter experiments from Kompakt’s back catalog.

What makes “Dripzoid” compelling is its refusal to choose between functionality and experimentation. It is recognizably club music—driving, danceable—but it resists the predictable arc of build and release. Instead, it offers a different kind of intensity: one that emerges from variation, surprise, and the sense that the track is inventing its own grammar as it goes along.

SUNDA2E Mixshow Ep. 44 (30.11.25)

Multicoloured blasts of undulating, unstable tapestries, ricocheting Dancehall mutations over reverbed-out dread techno bassline warps

Raised on a diet of  1970s Afrobeat, Jùjú music & genre-defying Black American pop, Ruoho's music draws upon the visceral aesthetics of dub, techno, garage & impractical melodic leitmotifs from experimental electro-acoustics, fusing them into imaginative new exhilarations, sometimes 4-on-the-floor, other times Avant-dubwise or ambient. His music has been described by some as “vaporous”, “aching and expansive” & “a wicked dub abstraction”.

Ruoho won an international BBC Radio 1 remix competition, reshaping Steve Reich's seminal piece “Music for 18 Musicians” & has released 12" vinyl records on numerous boutique labels like Unfulfillment (Montréal), Zero G Sounds (Boston), Thoughtless Music (Toronto), de'fchild productions (San Francisco), Adjunct Digital (Los Angeles), Skor Records (Los Angeles), Auralism (San Francisco) & Creaked Records (Switzerland). He has performed live at the Winter Music Conference (Miami), Decibel Festival (Seattle) as well as numerous underground venues across North America.

As the son of a professional flamenco singer, Thomas has always been surrounded by music.  Exposure to flamenco influenced him because it has a dynamic range of emotions—from the "deep singing" style of cante hondo, to the more lively alegrias.  He has also worked in the corporate, independent, and online music industry for a number of years.  At one point he was a Content Manager for the Electronic Music genre at MP3.com, where he screened over 500 songs per day.  Exposure to a wide range of music explains the range of genres in his mixes—he uses whatever carries the mood.  From listening to Umm Kulthum's "Enta Omri" in his childhood, to New Wave and  Industrial as a teen, it became difficult for him to stick to one sound. Though vinyl was his original format of choice when he started in the 90s, the use of digital mixing has helped him better form soundscapes to expand your headspace.  Let him play with your moods for a spell.

Life is based upon trends and patterns. However, from time to time an anomaly will surface to tickle the interest of the human mind  and  leave us astonished, like a rogue wave or a golden sunflower in a field of jasmine.
 
Anoma is derived from anomaly. We are a record label eager to present musical material that is off the beaten path, yet organic in content.
 
To limit your options and tie your hands, our music will be released only in vinyl format. 
 
Different forms of art blend to create vibrancy. Encompassing each record is a sleeve featuring a commissioned painting by a brush from one of our member's palette. 
 
Founded by Ohm Hourani and embraced by like minded figures Anoma saw the light in 2014 and will continue to provide minimalistic, jazzy and organic sounds.



Avant-garde house music between lofi- and minimal / deep house, techno, glitch and electronica, plunderphonics and house, the Westend Ghetto Guys somehow occupy a niche of their own and live from strange glitches and bizarre sounds. Bootleg remixes and mashups for 'iamamiwhoami' also lead to an official remix ("N") and collaborations with other musicians (e.g. 3PM, Minute Taker, Christopher Norman, Klordop / Tis, Morgen Wurde) from the Swedish pioneers of viral video chips. Not surprisingly, the collective from the Westend Ghetto even published sample libraries for the renowned magazine "Computer Music" and for the 'sounds2sample'-Platform and offers highly acclaimed "ensembles" in the Reaktor community ("Native Instruments").
