The Ctrls project was founded In 2012. From the first Token records release the presence of a highly individual sonic style was apparent and his fast paced and futuristic techno based sound has now been well established with a stream of respected music on labels such as Token Records, Earwiggle and Key Vinyl. A lifelong devotee of electronic dance music, DJ’ing and live performance are central for the project. This has resulted in many involved sets at globally notable venues such as Tresor, Fold, Berghain, Khidi, Fabric, Kit Kat, Fold and Club Drugstore in addition to a residency at Copenhagen’s purest electronic dance music venue: Ved Siden Af. The future heralds a wider scope as electro, breakbeats, noise and audio visual components are incorporated, as well as the physical Future Awkward and SafeCom event series.

Dual Monitor - Strugglin Rework [Free DL]

To kick start his new label Overload Liverpool, Irish Liverpool-based artist best known as The Cyclist drifts into the shop at 90mph under his second new alias of the year, The Motorist. A distinct homage to UK Garage, 2-step and breakbeat, his unique take on the genre shimmers through a haze of psychedelia and is accompanied by Liverpool local and girl-next-door vocal talent Flower Bed who floats above an undercurrent of bombastic bunker busting bass that’s sure blow a few funktion ones and heads.

The Cyclist’s performances never disappoint. Favoring an approach that does not tolerate laptops, The Cyclist will propose an intoxicating blend of reworked original compositions, punctuated with unreleased material and live improvisations for his first appearance at MUTEK Montréal.

MUTEKLIVE341 - The Cyclist

Following up on a cracker split single last year, Overload Liverpool jumps into 2024 firing on all cylinders with a 5 shooter of freaked-out electro, warm house, deep dub cuts, and gorgeous ambient.

Firstly, Liverpool-based label boss Morrison highlights two of his distinct and dissociative styles. On the front end of the A-side, his The Motorist alias provides us with a freaked-out formant-filtered electro that’s bursting at the lips. On the back end, a deep yet bright house cut from his The Cyclist alias, with warm warbling synths layered over his Wurlitzer electric piano and suitably grooved and jaunty beats.

To kick off the deeper B-side of the 12”, Wax Tek, a founder of the Liverpool Soundsystem crew Polyone Audio, hits us right in the chest with his dubbed-out breakbeat wonder, Get Set, which diverges through Balearic, bass music, a delirious breakdown, and hard-hitting breakbeats.

Deeper still, the second B-side from Puncta, another Liverpool-based artist, who last year came to light with their release on Sputnik One’s N-Face, dives into the deep Arctic seas with Snow Crab, an exercise in dubbed-out electro-style bass music.

Finally, Belfast-based Aaron Thomas brings the 12” EP to a fitting closure with Concert², which, washing over the listener, dances like opulent drapes with its ethereal synths that crash to and fro.

Circuit bent Rhythm Composer Demos

Andrew Morrison, AKA The Cyclist, is a UK producer at the forefront of the lo-fi, opaque, analogue house scene fittingly described as “tape throb”. Being the purveyor of DIY busted techno, a gauzy melodic sound submerged in tape distortion, The Cyclist..

Influenced by an eclectic range of music from Krautrock and 60s psychedelia to early Chicago house, techno, jungle and dub, his critically acclaimed album Bones In Motion, named one of the best releases of 2013 by XLR8R and Boomkat, was the first album released in the collaboration of Leaving Records and Stones Throw Records. In 2014 Morrison introduced a new alias, Buz Ludzha, via the ‘Love Repetitive Rhythmics’ 12” on All City Records, before returning again as The Cyclist in November to release his second album, Flourish, named one of the best albums of 2014 by FACT, having premiered on Pitchfork Advance.

Bones In Motion (2013) http://www.stonesthrow.com/store/album/cyclist/bones-in-motion

This project of mine, is an attempt to get to a time in electronic music, where everything sounds warmer, like with the more techno-ey tunes by throbbing gristle maybe abit like what geogaddi by boards of canada got across,but with a whole other meaning with a more dancable edge of new order. This needed to be done and needs to be done more. let's call it Tape Throb for now.

Now most of you  should be aware? there has already been a release by me on the crash symbols label called bending brass, for those not in the know: http://crashsymbols.bandcamp.com/album/bending-brass

in the mean time you should check out these labels in their own right, cuz they're fucking class!!!
