For KHA022, label chief Balrog is back with a brand new EP featuring three original tracks and a remix from Milo Spykers.

With the Subjective Representation EP, Balrog has channelled frustrations and observations around the current political spectrum in to three blistering tracks full of distorted aggression.

With each of these tracks Balrog has sought to focus on creating consistent energy and staying true to his sound. Repetitive yet developing grooves, rolling percussive elements and, stabbing vocal lines intertwined around throbbing low ends, demonstrate clearly the signature sound and style Balrog has become known for.

Also on this EP is a sensational remix from Milo Spykers. Having recently been a part of KHAVA06, we are thrilled to welcome him back to the label.

Milo's reimagining of Subjective Representation focusses on emphasising rolling percussion and dark synthesis all wrapped around a dense powerful kick. It lends itself perfectly to the release and is sure to become a favourite among the Khazad faithful.

INDUSTRIAL GROOVE IN YOUR NOSTRILS 

Khazad Records is the brainchild of label chief Balrog. 

The concept of the label was born out of a desire to release hard, industrial, and grooving techno, while also providing a platform for the best young producers to showcase their talent. In doing so, this will hopefully enable the further development of this style of industrial enthused grooving techno.

Khazad Records is a wholly inclusive collective. For this reason, every attempt will be made to ensure an even as possible gender balance of artists. In doing so we hope to address the gender imbalances that are still ever-present within the techno scene. 

As well as showcase the hottest talent in the scene right now, the label will also hope to unearth the future stars of the scene through a fully open demo policy:

- All demos will be listened too but must be sent to our email, this may mean that it takes some time for us to respond but rest assured we will get back to you and make every attempt to offer constructive advice if the demo does not suit the label.
- Tracks DO NOT need to be mastered before sending, we are looking for raw talent not the final product.
- Please email preferably 2-3 tracks (Soundcloud Private Link) to: khazadrecords@outlook.com 
- INDUSTRIAL GROOVING SOUNDS ONLY PLEASE
