"Unethical behavior within organizations is not rare. Peev & Realitycheck investigate experimentally the role of status-seeking behavior in sabotage and cheating activities aiming at improving one's performance ranking in a flat-wage environment. They find that average effort is higher when individuals are informed about their relative performance. However, ranking feedback also favors disreputable behavior. Some individuals do not hesitate to incur a cost to improve their rank by sabotaging others' work or by increasing artificially their own performance. Introducing sabotage opportunities has a strong detrimental effect on performance. Therefore, ranking incentives should be used with care. Inducing group identity discourages sabotage among peers but increases in-group rivalry."

Beginning life in February of this year, French label Music For Commercials' mission is focused on environmental preservation, recycling old materials like floppy discs and VHS cassette tapes to house the music. After a compilation featuring around 14 artists, they're returning with their sophomore release, an EP from Realitycheck and Peev, which will be available on VHS. The two French producers—the former known for his releases on Unknown To The Unknown and Renascence and the latter for his ambient productions and Rinse FM residency–come together for three original tracks that match their tastes for mysterious atmospheres and tight drum work.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

For this 264th Premiere of 2022, we have a track by electronica artist from Järvenpää, Finland & one half of Finnish Electro legends "Morphology", Matti Turunen titled ‘Aureum’ from his forthoming EP "Radau" on the London-based Electro label headed up by Sync 24 : Cultivated Electronics LTD.

Release Info :

Matti Turunen - Radau [Cultivated Electronics LTD // CELTD011]

Matti Turunen is probably best known for his work as Morphology (with Michael Diekmann) but here he goes it alone for a new EP on Cultivated Electronics vinyl-only series, Cultivated Electronics Ltd.

Finnish electronic maestro, Turunen's previous solo ventures without his Morphology cohort are rare. The last time was a track for AC Records in 2013 (which was remastered earlier this year for Bandcamp), but appearances have also cropped up on Abstract Forms, Muhk and Bliq in previous years.

For his 'Radau' EP on CE Ltd he turns up the Electro-funk to the max with lush arrangements, dulcet melodies and gritty beats – there's a warmth in the machines.

Tracklist : 
A1. Aureum
A2. Xhante
B1. Radau
B2. Memnonia

Since his last outing on Control Freak with the sold-out Bunzunkunzun EP, Syz has built a reputation as one of the UKs most distinctive club producers, weaving playful, percussive techno with soundsystem-driven bass music.

Much of this acclaim started with 2020’s Mindforms - a self-released mini-LP which saw the young producer step away from the dancefloor to explore an expansive sonic world, ‘balancing the tranquility of the ecological world with the immediacy of the digital one’.

The original  release was accompanied by a highly limited run of just 10 dubplates. Deeming this 6-tracker too good not to receive a proper pressing, Control Freak are proud to present the first ever complete vinyl run for Mindforms.

Alongside the record, Syz & Control Freak have curated Clubforms, a collection of remixes from some of our favourite producers, each bringing the original release firmly onto the dancefloor with their own production flourishes.

TL PREMIERE : Dima Gastrolër - Zero Tolerance [Zodiak Commune Records]

FIRST RECALL

V/A - Omnia Vanitas EP

Written and produced by Honealöme @honealome / Kuzma Palkin / Solotape @enceence / Hajj @hadji-hajj / Buttechno @buttechno / 2Beast (6Beam + Deathface)@dosbeast210 , Ko$te @koste_music, Hexmane @hexmane

Format: 12inch vinyl/ Digital
Cat. No: LLC05
Release Date: November 26th 2020

A1 - Honealöme - QLLC1312
A2 - Kuzma Palkin - Fordyzm (ft. MC Supreme Cam Vocal)
A3 - Solotape - LFJ2

B1 - Hajj - Tru Man Cry
B2 - Buttechno - y-x4-rec
B3 - 2Beast - Purgatory ft. Ko$te (prod. Hexmane)

Omnia Vanitas – the newest compilation from the emerging France-based label Lowlife Cartel – explores musical horizons from jungle to rap and combines dance music with an experimental approach. 
Honeälome (ABCD) opens the EP with a catchy saturated beat layered with distorted vocals. 
Kuzma Palkin (Gost Zvuk, Wicked Bass), also known as Kausto, features his minimal production with the immersive rap flow of MC Suprem Cam. Solotape (Low Income $quad) ends Side A with a heavily deconstructed experimental sound, oscillating between techno and an analogue lofi vibe. 
Side B kicks off with the invention of emo jungle – "Tru man cry", by Hajj (Dawn, BFDM), a cutting-edge jungle-leaning track mixed with a detached vocal sample in the background. 
"y-x4-rec", by Buttechno (Rassvet), is a more grounded ambient track with a focus on texture, but without sacrificing the dystopian, singular productions of this artist. 
"Purgatory", by the rapper duo 2Beast featured by Ko$te, on canadian producer Hexmane's beat, closes the EP on a dark Memphis rap vibe. 
Once again, the newest compilation represents a solid roster of emerging, genre pushing artists and some of the biggest cats in the game.

Dr. Brian B. Waves' guide to the destruction of heavenly bodies involves seven steps, three of which we've laid out below. As for the rest? You'll have to discover them for yourselves.

1. Observe, analyse, take action and neutralise the external defence systems before infiltration.

2. Dismantle the governance structures and remove all charismatic leaders from positions of power by means of public executions. Expect resistance from the underground, do not let it foment, break it at its core and assume the position of the dominator.

3. Create panic within the resistance’s ranks within the shortest delay possible and ensure a large amount of feedback in order to crush the possibility of a future generation of rebels. The acid triplet motion is a useful technique to achieve this goal. 

Geneva's Brainwaves crew are launching into 2021 with a release from label mate Weith, who returns to the imprint for the second time following 2019's Obsidian EP. Following releases for Concrete Collage, Wirebox, and more recently Brokntoys and non-profit label Touched, on the aptly named DOOMSDAY Weith brings seven tracks that touch on different influences, from IDM, electro and acid to breaks, rave and techno.
