about the release -

Side A: Forgotten Corner - Prosthetic Limbo
written, produced and mixed by Nick Mackrory & Phil Banks
The original version was created by Nick & myself, Autumn 2017, using various Roland, Dave Smith, Doepfer hardware, plus additional live percussion.

Side B: Forgotten Corner - Prosthetic Limbo (Cassini Division remix)
Cassini Division is Kyle Martin’s solo project. His previous remix on forg002 still sounds timeless, so we asked him to remix forg004. Kyle agreed and delivered a monster of a spacious hypnotic slow techno re-imagination!.

Kyle took all of the different elements & put each of them through his modular system & homemade modular fx, he then merged them with some other tones and percussive sounds that he created on his Macbeth synth, re-pitching the sounds to lower the frequencies & then adding various spring reverb
fx to create the spacious immersive atmosphere. The end result is a total trip... turn up loud, close your eyes....repeat!.

If you haven’t heard any of the other projects Kyle’s involved in please check...Vactrol Park, Spectral Empire, Brain Machine & Land Of Light

Thank you for taking the time to listen to our latest release, we hope you enjoy the music!

How is your conduit today?
My blood’s running down
What’s that supposed to mean?
I’m dying, man! I’m dying!


https://soundcloud.com/alessandro-adriani-mannequinrecords's excellent tune 'Blood Runs Down' reminds me of those classic industrial tunes from the 80s and makes my little synth wave’s heart go boom-boom. 
Truly atmospheric and mesmerizing, from https://soundcloud.com/minimalrome's second compilation Trame Due, a full length double LP release.

DT PREMIERE: Nonetheless - Machine of Love and Hate

В такую пасмурную погоду, когда на смену солнцу приходят серые тучи, когда хорошее настроение может резко смениться на грусть или наоборот, в любое это время не забывай о звездах. Не забывай о том, что они сделали для тебя.

Посмотри на свои руки.

Атомы в твоей левой руке возможно взяли своё начало в иной звезде, нежели атомы в правой руке. Тебя бы не было здесь, если бы звёзды не соизволили взорваться.

Космос есть внутри нас. Мы сделаны из звёздного вещества, мы — это способ, которым Космос познаёт себя.

Не забывай о звездах.
Включи Travel in Space II, закрой глаза и путешествуй во вселенной. Помни - вселенная не имеет границ, как и твои мечты и представления о том, какие формы жизни, цивилизации и звезды могут или не могут её наполнять. Там может быть всё, что ты сможешь представить. Ибо доказательства того, что там этого нет - отсутствуют.

*** *** *** *** *** ***

In such cloudy weather, when gray clouds come to replace the sun, when a good mood can abruptly change to sadness or vice versa, at any time do not forget about the stars. Don't forget what they did for you.

Look at your hands.

The atoms in your left hand may have originated in a different star than the atoms in your right hand. You wouldn't be here if the stars didn't deign to explode.

Space is within us. We are made of stellar matter, we are the way the Cosmos cognizes itself.

Don't forget about the stars.
Turn on Travel in Space II, close your eyes and travel through the universe. Remember - the universe has no boundaries, as well as your dreams and ideas about what forms of life, civilizations and stars may or may not fill it. Anything you can imagine can be there. For there is no evidence that this is not there.

TRAVEL IN SPACE [V]

ИДА's release number 12 comes from the label founder Kolomensky and explores some tribal aesthetics. There are two versions of the title track ‘Mystic Rush’ — electro tool and lighter ‘disco-techno’, both filled with electrified synths, cowbells and tribe vocals. Second original ‘Jungle Mirror’ is an ambient cut with tropical field recordings, bong percussions and spacey synths which are unfolding the story contained in the track title. 
On the remixes coming from label's Vilnius favourite, prolific Roe Deers with groovy but unusual for him mellow version of the title track and Milan based Tagliabue who transforms ‘Jungle Mirror’ into tense and psychedelic epic trip.

Artist: Kolomensky

PREMIERE #1006 | Kolomensky - Jungle Mirror [ИДА] 2020

A tip off had drawn their attention to a small abandoned town on the edge of the desert, but it was curiosity that had led them to drive out there to see it for themselves. Pulling up to what once would have been a bustling high street, the hairs on her neck began to bristle. It was as if this place had stopped in time; the shop fronts still showing the special offers of the day and the restaurant's awnings still extended to shelter customers from the hot sun. But it was empty, derelict; a forgotten place that would remain lost in history.

When lockdown began Bologna-based label Random Numbers were forced to postpone all their forthcoming releases, but in its stead they began working on a V/A compilation which brings together some of their favourite producers from across Europe, also offering them support during the Covid-19 pandemic. Made up of 14 tracks, that move through slow organic rhythms and sludgy electronics, the release titled Parallel Routes features the likes of Heap, BSS (Luigi of Beesmunt Soundsystem), Anatolian Weapons, Front De Cadeaux and our pick from BXP.

PREMIERE: BXP - Tupla [Random Numbers]
