Pino Peña launches his new label W133. The label combines analog photography by Freya Gerz with diverse styles of electronic music.
For the first release he has gathered 5 great tracks from artists all over the world.
The first track "Voices from the Dawn" is a smooth intro with elegant pads and a lush beat by Timo Rinker from southern Germany.
Right afterwards "Anorak" by Valdemar from Stockholm hits slightly harder with precise percussions in a cool bass 4/4 techno hybrid.
Pino Peña kicks off the B Side with the deep and fast rhytmic banger "Officer Rumba", building on dembow infused grooves. As a 4th track CucaRafa from Lisbon delivers 90s influenced groovy techno in "Deves Achar Que Eu Nasci Ontem".
As a closer for the EP, No Sir delivers a bass and break heavy beast called "Unknown Entities" fresh outta Brooklyn.

The release will be available digitally and as a very limited 12" dubplate edition with the analog photos printed.

PREMIERE : No Sir - Unknown Entities

Maroki launches the Spitskool Records imprint with 3 cuts of absolutely devastating club orientated sounds. 

Spitskool is a platform for Maroki and Coralie AKA ‘MXC’ and friends to release their music that perhaps wouldn’t fit elsewhere. Although it seems there is now a home at last.

The opening track; No - turned heads and shredded ears when first played at Haai & Daniel Avery’s renowned Junction 2 set back during Covid club closures - sparking a frantic online ID search. It has laid dormant since but cropped up in a handful of mixes and clubs around the world played by such selectors as GigiFM, Mad Miran and MSJY. It has since been re-mixed and mastered and is now coming out as the opening title of this EP. ‘No’ is a no-bullshit, straight up minimal broken techno affair. An arpeggiated bass rips through the track with surgical percussion lending support when needed. A crispy amen break keeps the piece rattling along with reese basses searing throughout.

‘AC4XT’ is a sleeping giant, again using the powerful rips and an earth shattering break and a sub that is oh so reminiscent of the old DMZ days but wholly different. The synth lines are tactile - loud, almost overpowering at times but once they disperse the space that is left is wide and compelling.

Finally Tremor - the clattering foray into Maroki’s chaotic mind. Techno in its simplest form but not. Sonically comparable to scaffolders losing their minds and dropping the structure in time to a 4 to the floor beat. Injections of pure noise and reprocessed breaks bring this track to fruition as a peak time destructive force.

On remix duties we have Coralie - known for his incredible release ‘Barney’s Maze’ on Quoth, which was subsequently picked up by editors at both Phonica Records & NinjaTune last year as being one of the most slept on releases of the year. We also have Tectonic regular & early mentor to Maroki ‘Elmono’ who has awoken from a slumber while mastering the dark arts of modular sound design in Lisbon for the last 5 years. Both throwing their hats into the ring for this series.

Coralie’s flip is as powerful as the original & showcases his textural and stylistic approach to forward thinking bass music. Elmono sticks true to his form and serves a cut that is beyond perfect. Walking the tight line between minimal and powerful simultaneously while sticking to his signature sound.

We also have Maroki & Coralie pitching in as MXC for not one but two remixes of Tremor - both evolved versions of the original that are standalone tracks in their own right. The minimal edit is an ode to their collaborative work together thus far. Racking bass and percussion into scorching sonic slop. The 2nd edit takes the original somewhere else entirely. Broken beats, confused sounds and hypnotic experimental grooves lead this down a very different path. An insight into what’s to come from the illusive duo later this year.

Keep you eyes and ears peeled for the physical release as there will only be a run of 30 limited edition pressings with limited edition artwork from the fabled dutch illustrator ’Sjondebaron’

PREMIERE: Low End Activist - Seekers [SPLOT]

Glasgow crew Erosion launch as a label with an EP from London based producer Slacker. Featuring four original compositions alongside a weighty remix from Brooklyn based Doctor Jeep, this transatlantic pairing unleash a torrent of dark, atmospheric soundscapes.

Drawing inspiration from the gritty sounds of Birmingham techno luminaries, Slacker embarks on a sonic journey that delves deep into the meditative realms of repetition and dark rhythmic environments. The result is a mesmeric fusion of sub-heavy bass, distorted textures, and haunting melodies that captivate the listener from start to finish.

Slacker traverses a spectrum of tempos, departing from the familiar territories of lighter, electro-focused compositions that characterized his earlier works. This departure stems from a profound desire to transcend boundaries and immerse himself in the evocative depths of dark, atmospheric soundscapes—an aspiration that found resonance with the thematic essence of his release on Soft Raw.

‘View from an Empty Lake’ navigates the depths of solitude, intricately threading together reflections and existential quests, drawing the listener into a fully immersive world. The spectrum of tracks resonate with the universal echoes of desolation, highlighting fleeting moments of euphoria, encapsulating the essence of memory and transience.

View From An Empty Lake

PREMIERE: Slacker - Growing Cold (Erosion)

READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-xavier-bonfill-2x2x2-bell-plate-version

Following up 'Selected Works of Anthony Braxton' EP from multi-instrumentalist sextet Ferry Good Company, Danish imprint Don't Look Back prepare to release '2x2x2' EP from Barcelona-born now Copenhagen-based composer Xavier Bonfill...Our pick is '2x2 (bell plate version)' thanks to its entrancing sound bath enclosed by mirroring steel sheets. As crystal quartz symphonies are broadcasted from underworld cave systems, Marta Soggetti and Lorenzo Colombo sculpt an ambient soundscape filled with FX-soaked bell plate polyphony culminating in a whirlwind of analogue noise spirals.

Release Date:  May 31, 2024
Info: It’s been 2 years since we last peered into ovan odero’s sun-baked world of silk-spun melodies and clattering rhythms. Following the artist's signature laid-back approach in mind (and studio), ovan returns with a suite of 4 new songs that pick up right where he left off with his 2022 debut EP ‘Gold Foil’.

‘Over Medium’ is the aptly titled new EP from the Tampa producer, which lands perfectly in the climbing humidity of spring. Never dragging, never rushed, the tracks unfold solemnly and tactfully with shimmering results. Built with an emotional and playful complexity that only ovan could conjure. Youthful images and bittersweet reverie abound in 4 movements of untethered sound.
