Not much could phase him; he'd grown a thick skin after all the obstacles life had thrown his way. His calm demeanour rattled a lot of people; they believed his placid reactions were shrouding the fact he was screaming on the inside. Perhaps it were true, but what did it matter. Even if he were shouting at the top of his lungs, nobody would ever hear him...

After over a decade in the game, Paris-based label Zone have cemented their reputation as a purveyor of the finest dark electronics, spanning from electro to heavy techno and punk-driven machine music. To recognise the sounds that have helped shape and evolve the label, they've enlisted the help of label friends, old and new, for a 16-track compilation, 'Interzone'. It builds on their ethos of pairing pioneering producers with fresh talent, featuring exclusive music from veterans like DJ Hell, Kittin, Gesaffelstein and label co-founder The Hacker, as well as newer names including Jensen Interceptor, The Populists, Cardopusher and Commuter.

Dystatik - Various Artists III

Ωmega

TL PREMIERE : Dry_Feel - Ωmega [Dystatik]

''Through consumption and entertainment' is the latest full-length compilation from the Sons of Traders label in collaboration with Mutant Radio. It features a gritty cast of affiliates of label owners Mike Tansella jr. and TANS who curate this release. Alys sets the scene with "EMX Tube Gain" featuring powerful distorted subs building up to atmospheric stabs and haunting harmonies. It's followed by Asymmetrical's hypnotic banger "Mistake at work" fully equipped with lasers, syrupy synths, and pounding kicks. Amsterdam's Bertram nudges the tempo up with the punchy "Clabo den bo caha di morto", a dusty take on electronica that means 'nail in your coffin' in his native Aruban language. Providing a momentary cleanse is Bill Converse through syncopated acid lines tied together by modulating pads and 909-like thuds on "System fun". Chris Mitchell returns to the label and delivers an insidious chugger that gradually reveals its sinister scorched-earth side with "Top 40 dancefloor".

"Down in the park" takes no prisoners and is a kaleidoscopic electro banger fitted with a droney synth and crunchy drums brought to us by London-based Chupacabras. Belarus' Elena Sizova slows things down with "G.S.V2", a psychedelic downtempo trip that inspires reflection and melancholy. "Foundation guilt" is a rolling acid bomb with watery lines and vocal samples by Berlin-based Jaundice that is coming to a dancefloor near you. JT Whitefield raises the temperature further with "Dead beat", an industrial behemoth with evocative strings over a seared wall of rhythm and textures. "A secret" sees Kosmik deliver an unforgiving acid thumper that tunnels through the body with rolling drums, subtle delayed vocal cuts, and distorted claps.

Prague-based Malachi Constant furthers the second half with the adventurous and aquatic "Whale Hunt", which packs massive 808s and intriguing passages that pull you into the abyss. "Monitor eyes" is a narcotic cut by Midnight Climax with wooden and metallic percussions accompanied by fleeting samples and lasers that leave room for the drone to roam free. The next track comes from O:M:E:N, who stuns the body with "SBTMSK", a distorted goa-inspired gem with ravey elements and piston-like hats and claps. Also returning to the label is the Detroit-native Robert E. Livingood with a hypnotic interstellar soundscape on what sounds like a 9/8 tempo.

Immagine del profilo di bertramovic_

Sons of Traders bless this release with their classic proto-inspired sound full of hard-hitting drums, synth-driven rhythm lines, and ominous vocal samples through "La repressione". Fresh off a recent album release on the label, the Russian producer Stas Zavyalov drops another relentless analog-powered bomb with "JSR 1202". TLXCO sets the scene in the closing moments with a spacey acid trip that sucks the listener into the void with "Don't talk to me". Closing off is veteran producer Vinilette with driving dark synths, gothic bells, and electro-tinted drums with "Nightmare".

For this @DarkScienceElectro premiere, we check in with a longtime friend of the show @MetaComplex

No stranger to the airwaves of my show, MetaComplex has been producing some of the most chilling Electro music available since 2008. In my personal opinion, he is one of the most talented producers working within the genre today. After a two-year silence from releasing music as MetaComplex, he brings us a self-released three-track EP. All three tracks are a good reminder as to why I love his music. He has a special knack for producing hauntingly beautiful music that walks the line between intricate and simplistic. The track selected to premiere on @DarkScienceElectro is the opening track of the EP called 'Data Navigation Anomaly'. This release is available now.
