THE MOTION

PARANOID LONDON WITH MUTADO PINTADO 'THE MOTION'

Astral travel with Cybotron into the meta-narrative of the Parallel Shift, a new sonic fiction that raises many questions about military science of the near-future and the possibility of other worlds. 

Descending backward through the rhythms of time, the Skynet module retracts from the hyper-structural society of 2100, edging toward the mid-century modern age teetering on the brink of what was then the frontier of “the future”. The system boots the Infiniti process, morphing into a cosmotechnic vessel coursing the superhighway of burgeoning general intelligence, seeking data from just before “the overshoot and collapse.” 

R&D methods, rhythmanalytically applied, dissect the aftermath of an industrial society that burst through the ecological capacity of Spaceship Earth. Fractal visions of war and innovation spike and recede from and into the surfaces of reality being bent and guiding the eyes, ears, touch towards a laboratory in the year 1961. A nuclear expert, Don Lewis, receives orders to decrypt the mysterious black dodecagonal disc known as Fortec and the extraterrestrial biology unearthed in Roswell. He joins a team disassembling Fortec and studying the recurrent dodecahedral patterns linked to the human nervous system. 

Through dismantling and probing, the team cycles through a saecular search devoid of finite conclusions, limited by Earth’s intellectual and technological prowess. One 1960s night, Lewis, while meddling with Fortec’s cyborganic innards, accidentally electrifies himself. His cyclotron and missile experience guides him to circuit-bend Fortec, stirring the entity from a mechanical slumber. Lewis and Fortec communicate in resonances, until it drifts back into a tranquil stasis. 

The US Defense and contractors, unbeknownst to them, observe this breakthrough. They later permit Lewis to exit military service as the Air Force forms the Foreign Technology Division. Concurrently, MJ12 evolves into CY12, delving into second-order cybernetics. Lewis clandestinely keeps working on Fortec fragments, transitioning from military engineer to musician, pioneering the LEO module, a fusion of Fortec’s essence and audio engineering. 

He shares his insights with Roland founder Ikutaro Kakehashi, aiding the creation of the iconic TR-808. Meanwhile, Fortec branches out, coining “Cyberspace” – a collective illusion of liberty unshackled by physical, political, or spiritual bounds, anchored in the equitable distribution of The Golden Ratio across realities. Yet “Cyberspace” morphs into a chaotic truth reservoir, spilling over into deception. 

The Parallel Shift manifests in the perpetual “Now,” a collapsed event horizon where past and future are ensnared in a relentless present, unfurling along a dissolving timeline, overseen by a monolithic simulation under ceaseless watch… 

— The Rhythmanalyst aka DeForrest Brown, Jr.

Mannequin Records proudly presents Chromium - Something in the Air (The Hacker Club Mix), a thrilling reinterpretation by legendary French producer The Hacker. Originally composed by Chromium in the early ‘90s, this track is part of the Chromium Industries (1991-1992) collection—an essential archive of forward-thinking electronic music, bridging proto-techno, industrial, and EBM.

With his signature touch, The Hacker injects a darkly hypnotic energy into "Something in the Air", transforming it into a peak-time club weapon, while staying true to the spirit of the original.

Out now on Mannequin Records.

The Revolving Eyes, aka cult DJ duo Rob ’n’ Zoopsie should need no introduction to the more discerning fan of underground European disco. Having recently resurrected their own Moderne Recordings label the duo bring their sophisticated party manoeuvres to Wrong Era for the first time. A five track E.P that touches on the classic sounds of Chicago, Electronica and Wave with a distinctly European twist the Belgian duo are a much welcomed addition to the family

GLR029 Mijo - Disk Machine 1 EP (Excerpts)

2018 starts with Wolfram for Public Possession. Maxi Single PP026 features “Automatic Dub”. Powerful new-italo that will heat up any given dancefloor in no time. The "Automatic dub", which is a rework of a well known canadian 70's underground hit, is accompanied by two remixes, courtesy of Samo DJ and Alexi3d. More subtle yet equally effective acid versions including dreamy vocal and stop/pause scat madness.

PREMIERE : Wolfram - Automatic Dub

For its second release of 2018, Days Of Being Wild welcomes London duo Super Drama.
What strikes us immediately with “Affected Elegance” is Super Drama’s taste for an analog and rough production - the tracks have a “straight to tape” live feel far from the carefully computer constructed productions you tend to hear these days. There is a rough and ready attitude to their new wave and Italo tinted sound, with disco bass-lines and DX7 pads and bells melodies.
The title track could easily be an 1986 New Order b-side with its balearic pads, disco bass line and “Blue Monday” kick, while “Hausu” with its female vocals and retro drum machines sounds like a forgotten Italo instrumental mix. Black Rose follows in the same vein of twisted disco noir with its pitched down voice over a pulsing bass line. Closing the EP, we find old pal Kiwi remixing “Affected Elegance”. Kiwi keeps in with the old school electronic disco vibe but brings his own unique style of modernity taking the track to stratospheric disco heights, stripping down to its core to build it back to an emotional climax.

Luminous EP

Brynjolfur - Fluxx

There was a strange tension which hung in the air, the stock market had come to a complete and utter standstill whilst several people had fallen slumped to the floor in disbelief. Money wasn't everything, at least that was what they had said back in high school. However, stood out there under the glow of advertising banners and digital displays it sure as hell felt like it. This was a 'cba quake' of monstrous proportions and how on earth were they supposed to bounce back? 

Jaures is next up on Die Orakel, the record label run by Oliver Hafenbauer out of Frankfurt and boy does he bring the heat. Perhaps one of our favourite releases this year so far. Worlds collide as he explores synth pop, electro and house.

PREMIERE: Jaures - Cba Quake [Die Orakel]

"Responsible for this extended mix of ADSX & Hanobens 'Scream' is the Motor City's Special Forces General:  Sharif Laffrey.  He needs little introduction to discerning raver ears as the man behind instant acid classics 'Turn It Up' & 'Always'.  Here Laffrey delivers what is possibly his best work to date - an unstoppable 13-minute long Dancefloor Annihilator."

"This is almost 13 minutes of the sickest dirtiest acid house out there...
...Filtered down EQs, a sexy 16 beat and a bassline which is guaranteed to shake your spine out of place."
