UK CLUB PODCAST: KLAWKOT

WL//WH Premiere: AUTUMNS "Have You Ever Held a Snake" [Idlestates]
Scotland, UK-based DIY label Idlestates is back, after a brief hiatus, to strike the most sharp-edged dancefloors, unveiling a tantalizing 13-track Various Artists compilation, titled "The Semiconscious System II VA", that delves deep into the avant-garde realms of EBM and Industrial electronic music.

Northern Ireland's Off-kilter Body Music experimentalist Christian T., a.k.a. Autumns, blends, with a minimalistic and straightforward hardware-led production approach, an electrifying crossover of Dub, Techno, Electro, New Beat, Post-punk, Industrial and No Wave to scratch the boundaries of EBM realms, braced with raw Punk energy.


Distinctive of the Irish artist's cold, minimal, hypnotic, and whip-cracked delivery, “Have You Ever Held a Snake” triggers a snappy barrage of punchy kicks, stark pounding snares, obsessive crispy claps, cracking percussive fills and a relentless syncopated squelching bassline, to compel fear and thrills along with minimal bestial growls, whilst warm, disruptive, emotional brass blows screech and tear through a thick intoxication of dance-compelling darkness.

ANTWN - Stress Testing

I've seen it all before

Над чем мы смеялись все детство?

The glow from the rays of the mid afternoon sun illuminated the white covered floor with delicate precision. Shadows were scattered beneath the branches of trees whilst the daylight from above was stark and brutally vivid in contrast. Snow had been falling for a long time now and he could not recall the last time he had seen the dense greenery of the mountains which loomed in the distance far away. There was a hazy quality to the air as the soft flakes landed upon the ground. It crunched beneath the boot. 

PTU has remixed the prolific Maelstrom on the record label RAAR run by himself and Louisahhh which is due for release this week. Heavy duty, fun focused club sounds with a dark twist.

PREMIERE: Maelstrom - Snow Falls (PTU Remix)[RAAR]

Девочка со спичками

The 20th release from Nina Kraviz’s seminal трип imprint is an homage to some of the most uncompromising manifestations of electronic music imaginable. Tracing sub-cultures from the 90s to the present day, трип 20 interrogates the boundaries of tempo and form via hardcore, gabber, acid techno and ambient. A mix of unreleased material and essential gems, the ten-track compilation visits трип regulars, esoteric masters and relative newcomers on a voyage to the extremities of a global underground. 

трип 20 continues the tradition of gatefold double EPs as a conceptual album. All of the tracks are selected around a particular story, a trip, and presented as a continuous sonic landscape. All of the tracks are structured in a way that they can be mixed one with another an endless amount of times making a continuous loop, a trip, that needs only end when the party stops. Kraviz works without release dates or deadlines, enabling her to achieve a certain sound bank to shape the story, unmasking the thoughts and unravelling like a dream. 

A1. Biogen – Hexagraphic 

An essential track from one of Iceland’s true underground pioneers, ‘Hexagraphic’ uses frenzied percussion to map out angular geometric oddities. Rhythmic patterns drift in and out whilst an arppeggiated low end and abstract melody interact with each other at high speed. 

A2. PTU – Castor and Pollux 

Animated malfunctions and freeform effects take the lead on this marching workout from Russian duo PTU, first heard on their Boiler Room in Moscow last year and now ready to be unleashed. 

A3. DEKA – Pearl (Nikita Zabelin edit) 

Equal parts gabber and acid, Moscow based Nikita Zabelin’s edit of DEKA’s ‘Pearl’ takes no prisoners with a booming kick and relentless analogue lead. 

B1. Exos – Grasshunter 

Opening up the B side, prolific Icelandic producer Exos administers a dose of uncanny, groove driven 90s techno on this unapologetically minimal, strangely addictive roller. 

B2. Bjarki – 3-1 tap lush 

A distinctive highlight track from Nina’s sets over the past few months - mistuned bells and distressed vocals flurry around cold stabs on a disorienting journey from Icelandic shapeshifter Bjarki. 

C1. Marc Acardipane a.k.a. Pilldriver – Pitch Hiker 

Stripped back, unrelenting hardcore from a 90s legend using raw elements and cavernous acoustics to devastating effect. Marc Acardipane aka Pilldriver aka Mover epitomises the sound of a movement. 

C2. Shadowax – I want to be a stewardess 

Looping vocals welcome you on board for this unfurling trip of multiple guises. What starts as a bare-bone techno sketch evolves into a fucked up mass of breaks, jungle and hardcore from Shadowax, also known as Russian producer and live act Ishome. 

D1. Universal Indicator – 15 c7 

As a sub project from the legendary Rephlex Records, Universal Indicator (aka Aphex Twin) released a series of mostly untitled acid techno with nothing but associated colours from the UI spectrum as reference points. On this merciless cut, reactive chemicals are placed inside a pressure cooker. 

D2. Roma Zuckerman – Zero 

Трип mainstay Roma Zuckerman takes an unexpected turn on this blissful ambient wandering. Cinematic soundscapes contrast natural beauty with computerised glitches, held together by warm, dubbed out synths. Nestled amongst a compilation full of force, ‘Zero’ takes us on a different kind of trip. 

D3. Nina Kraviz - Opa 

Closing off the compilation, Nina delivers an obscure beast of cross-rhythmic machine funk. Shifting rapidly in and out of tempo, ‘Opa’ won’t wait for you to catch up.

Don't You Mess With Cupid, 'Cause Cupid Ain't Stupid.

Pre-order

PTU - Castor And Pollux

Sometimes there is one more place to go, one more plain to rise to Sometime you have to rise above it and reach up for the higher level.
Having released on Public System Recordings Kluentah has set up a new label called Zement, and has called upon himself to release the first EP on it.
The second track Higher Level is an absoute titan of a track with a breakbeat which sounds like artillery fire a sparse bassline which dances up and down octaves. A Cracking piece of EBM with an electro twist, a killer vocal sample and a driving groove which is messy, urgent and subversive. 
If this is the shape of things to come from Zement, we can't wait to hear more!

PREMIERE | Kluentah - Higher Level [Zement] 2018

For those who prefer acid in their everyday life as sugar in the coffee. Listen till the end as it gets better with each second:)
