For the second chapter of our Elementa Obscura series, the compilation moves with even greater force toward the dancefloor crossing the jagged territories of industrial, electro, and wave, sculpting six tracks where raw mechanics and shadowed atmospheres entwine.

Opening the record, FIUME (the side project of Croatia’s Le Chocolat Noir (Bunker Records, L.I.E.S.)) sets the tone on ‘Factory Wall’: a slab of cold industrial hypnosis where relentless drum patterns march across frozen synth landscapes. Pure machinery in motion.

On A2, Canadian producer Memorex channels a more measured energy. A steady, rolling bassline anchors intricate analog textures, while carefully layered pads expand into widescreen atmospheres. A track that feels both cleanly architected and deeply immersive.

Closing the first side, Uruguay’s Nyxloid: an EBM torchbearer with an unmistakable turntable craft presents ‘Utopicx’: hypnotic patterns, futuristic atmospheres, and metallic soundscapes loaded with tension. A cut built for those who thrive in the darker corners of the floor.

The flip side dives further. Ole Mic Odd, veteran of the US electro (KRI Records, Zement, Source Material, Kraftjerkz), contributes a heavyweight statement: razor-sharp pads, low-end menace, and grooves carved with mechanical precision. Electro at its most uncompromising.

On B2, Spanish artist Thai Lady Boy delivers a fierce industrial techno cut that feels like electricity itself in revolt: distorted acid sparks, convulsive rhythms, and scorched fragments of noise reassembled into a driving, chaotic whole. It’s unstable, dangerous, and wired for intensity.

Finally, RNXRX closes the circle with Altered States: a plunge into body music mutations where rhythm becomes rite. Oscillating between experimentation and sheer physicality, the track reveals the artist’s darkest impulses and his will to transgress.

Six cuts aimed at adventurous DJs and fearless dancers. As always, this is a one-time pressing of 250 copies only.

The artwork seals the vision: a planetary heptagram, historically used as a tool for cosmic contemplation. Representing the seven classical celestial forces, its geometry encodes order, proportion, and spiritual resonance mirroring the record’s sonic invocation.

Stay tuned, soon we’ll announce the official release party of Elementa Obscura Vol. 02, where one of the artists from our first edition will take the stage.

EOD002 - VA - Elementa Obscura Vol. 02 (Snippets)

"I have quite an emotional attachment to my older work. I'm certainly not saying that my new material is lacking the same level of investment, just that there is a kind of reserved level of sentimentality in my mind for tracks like It's Very Sunny and One Day At A Time. Those tracks where influenced by some of the most trying and transformative times of my life. For example, "It's Very Sunny" was written during a particular low point. I was hemorrhaging precious hours of my life in this overbearing call center job which I despised and a result I had become a stranger to both my friends and my family. I had fallen behind creatively due to my worsening mental health and because I had fallen behind creatively It was worsening my mental health... A bit of a catch 22.

I was trapped. My days became so predictable, Conversations felt scripted and my life  predetermined. I had been battered into this inescapable complacency to the point where I began to dissociate and became emotionally numb. This got so severe at one point that I managed to  convince myself on a lunch break I could extinguish a cigarette on the back of my hand and not feel anything. I definitely felt something and looked like a total tit!

In the weeks that followed I lived my life as some kind of hairy autopilot. WORK, SMOKE, EAT, DRINK, SHIT AND REPEAT. I continued this pattern right up until I had a particularly shitty day at work. On the walk home that night I came to the rather deflating revelation that I couldn't possibly be emotionally crippled because I could feel that my depression was worsening. When I got home I face planted on to my bed and passed out almost immediately. I awoke the next morning fully clothed and mildly asphyxiated by my lanyard. After what felt like a fifteen minute nap I quickly came to the horrible realization that it was once again time get ready for work. My eyes began to fill with tears at the thought of returning to that toxic environment for another shift. I rolled over to face the window and started to cry. 

Catastrophizing, I wondered if I would ever feel normal again? If I had any purpose in life other than to be a walking disappointment to those closest to me. At that point sunshine began to fill the room, I heard the birds singing outside and school kids playing in the distance. To this day, I'm unsure what happened in that moment but for the first time in months I felt optimistic. I felt I had a reason to persevere and hope that there was a potential solution just around the corner. I bounced out of bed and decided to pull a Ferris Bueller. I called in sick and took a day out just for me, I did nothing special. I mostly looked around some of the local charity shops for cassettes and took sometime to smell the roses. When I returned home I sat down at the studio and that track just poured out, almost as if I had it memorised. 

To this day it acts as a reminder of why I want to be here."

Sean Harte (Known by his stage name Memorex Memories) is a Scottish Electronic Musician. The pseudonym derived from his self proclaimed “obsession” with cassette tapes as a child. 

Pre-2017 Harte released music independently under the alias Mr Sunshine. His first E.P Climbing Green Hill was released via Big Wave Records in 2015. “I liked Mr Sunshine initially. But the more I thought about that name, the more it began to sound like a roaming, mobile sex offender operating out of an Ice Cream Van” Harte said in an interview on the Vlad Bresnix Podcast. 

In 2017 Memorex Memories released It’s Very Sunny via the YouTube Channel Electronic Gems. This would be the first of many singles released on the platform over the next few years. Tracks like Curious Alice, Thanks For Listening and A Way Home would all debut on the channel over the course of 2018. In 2019 Memorex Memories released In Motion. A 6 track mini EP via indie label The Midwest Collective. This would later be followed by his first Full Length LP Pictures of Purple Skies in September of that year. This release would mark the beginning of his association with the California based record label Stratford Ct. through which he would release his second album The Life Of Riley in May 2020.


Boards Of Canada, Flying Lotus,J Dilla, Com Truise, Air, Washed Out & Tycho are just some of the names Harte has listed as his many influences over the years. 

“Around this time, my friend introduced me to Brian Eno, Aphex Twin and Boards of Canada and the rest is history. Up until that point, I never knew music like that existed. I remember hearing “In A Beautiful Place Out In The Country” and just balling my eyes out. It felt as tho someone had somehow captured the sounds in my head and put it on tape. I remember openly saying, “That’s it! That’s what I want to do!”
