Releases & trax

From the stars to the stratosphere comes a new injection of energy from veteran duo Local Suicide (@localsuicide). After many years touring the globe and consistently releasing dancefloor crushing tracks the two are launching their very own label ‘Iptamenos Discos’. To ring in the new era they are releasing a new track which was crafted in the 2020 lockdown and will set the stage for what is to come with their brand new label. 

IDI001 is an offering from the dark corners of space bringing together spooky drones and spiralling melodies that hover like an incoming force from beyond. Coming from Greek, 'Iptamenos Discos' means flying saucer. The track features an assemblage of their friends chanting this phrase in 23 different languages which adds a lush blend of vocal layers.

Hailing from Greece, Vamparela and her husband Brax Moody from Germany have gained a reputation for their eclectic works across many genres such as dark disco, new wave, indie dance, EBM & industrial to name a few. They have worked with artists such as Curses, Theus Mago, Rodion, Alejandro Paz, Kalipo, Mijo, Thomass Jackson, Skelesys & many more. 

They plan to continue along these roads of success as the label will represent music in same vain, building on their fruitful past. No doubt a rock solid label to keep your ears and eyes on in 2021 and beyond. Look out for the new single which will be released on a strictly-limited clear Dubplate 12” and on all digital platforms.

Video Self-Delight

PREMIERE: Tulioxi - Video Self-Delight [HEARec]

Life on their planet had become increasingly dull, so much so they'd planned to escape and explore other corners and crevices of the vast expanse we call space. Perhaps elsewhere there'd be activities and experiences that would pull them out of their day-to-day slumps, maybe they'd even find a new place to call home - well, that would be a touch. It would be no easy ride though, their journey might not lead them anywhere, and in the worst case scenario they might never return...

After a mini hiatus, Geneva's Brainwaves crew are back with a bang. Following the electro and IDM creations from Weith, we're treated to a release from 'two alien sociopaths' AKA Brainwaves affiliate Estebahn and Renens-based producer Yolek. Together they are LMB and the fruits of their year long collaboration come in the form of 'Leck Meine Bahn'; a sludgy, chugging collection of cuts that teeter on the fringes of EBM, trance, bass and rave, layered over a foundation of jungle and breaks-driven drum patterns.

PREMIERE: Yolek & Estebahn (LMB) - Still Don't Give A Stab [Brainwaves]

Lyon-based crew Spiral Dance give birth to their in-house label @SousTraitance with a compilation of tracks representing their ethos on dance music: early UK rave spirit shot through with broader 90's styles, an alchemical brew of breaks, trance, electro and drum & bass, featuring this cut from @yolek.

Yolek - Aela [SousTraitance]

Leck Meine Bahn - they are back! These two space cadets bring back home some heavy radiated elements from outer space. After a two year odyssey, they return back to mother earth with an insane Live Set (Backslash Festival 2022) and a Battery Point EP full of blasting fusion energy. Their musical capsule comes packed with new textures, mixed up with an unholy but tasty reduction of Jungle and Trance substances melting with a fusion of Bass Music and industrial space chugs.
This cosmologic sound match is leading to a new co-dependency between gravity and bass. Their enigmatic grooves are ponderous yet playful and every alien ear which listened to this intergalactic call so far, could not escape this quirky dance atmosphere. Brainwaves music commanders aka LMB are Estebahn and Yolek and this composition is their second EP which results to an extension of new boundaries in our further rave solar system. Including two massive remixes by Jan Loup and Nuevo Prohibido to beam up every sort of flesh to the the next bass portal. Space alert!

PREMIERE : LMB - Battery Point

After his morning routine of yoga and meditation, Brian checks his ever-growing Revolut.Mars account before reads the intergalactic news on his phone while drinking his coffee. This morning, an article from Cydonia Daily catches his eye:

“42 thousand hectolitres of illegal Aqua Encelada seized by Martian Perimeter Forces (MPF)

In the early hours of the Martian morning, Extrapol have made the biggest seizure to date of undeclared Aqua Ence- lada in the vicinity of landing station MRS_3213. The finding of 42’00 hectolitres of high-purity Aqua Encelada on a cargo vessel entering supposedly carrying rare earths from the Centauri system marks a new record for the prolife- ration of illegal trade of this highly sought-out drinking water from Saturn’s ice-covered moon Enceladus.
Tests made on the chemical composition of the cargo reveal the water to have been extracted by the famously dan- gerous and highly illegal Aquabahn Method, which consists of high-speed capture of H20 particles ejected via cryo- volcanic eruption on Enceladus’s southern pole. This illicit method of extraction has become increasingly popular in recent years as mismanagement within AquaCorp Galactica coupled with unrelenting inflation on Mars have led to a surge in the price of luxury goods such as drinking water.
So far, no arrests have been made. A spokesperson from Extrapol told our journalists that the entire crew of the cargo vessel “internally combusted” immediately upon the discovery of the illegal cargo, leaving no survivors, but rumours that an escape pod managed to evade capture and jump to an unknown destination in hyperspace have been circulating. One Martian Perimeter Forces (MPF) official whose identity must be kept secret for obvious rea- sons told our investigative team that the cargo is believed to have been extracted by the Ultracephalic League and their mysterious amphibious leader Brian.
We strongly urge our readers to consume only the government-authorised synthesised Martian water, and to avoid luxury products whose dangerous extraction increases the influence of dangerous non-governmental groups such as the Ultracephalic League and their slug-like despot leader.“

Yolek's Systems EP is out on Brainwaves! A 2-tracks highly toxic weapon. To buy now on bandcamp:
https://brainwavescrew.bandcamp.com/album/systems

An epic plunge into the world of Yolek, 4818 deploys a kit faithful to its influences: sharp drums with a hip-hop groove, steady bass guiding the trance and mysterious synth lines. The dark yet driving character of this first track also demonstrates the simplicity with which Yolek takes us along: every sample is in its place, nothing sticks out, and it's strangely beautiful.

Yolek - 4818

After he featured on Various #2, the Russian artist Yssue is back on KUMP with three, slightly incantational, Industrial/Tribalistic tracks.
In this EP, Dmitry Nekrotkov explores Nature and expresses his vision of the bonds which Mankind shares with It.
What's more? Two remixes. Ayaz, an artist from Azerbaïdjan and founder of the Yalançi label, delivered a Dub-Techno remix which will turn your brain upside down before chopping it in tiny bits.
The second remix was made by the Duo DJ PG, from Lauzanne (Switzerland). The two pals, both members of the group "La Sacrée Déter" revisited the track "Lust" adding a Psyche-dubik touch to it. Perfect for a matinee on your sofa.

"My music is often a reflection of the state in which I am at a certain period of my life, since I grew up from a musical punk scene, this often involves a certain set of means of expression. In essence, I am in an endless struggle to express some quite lively and human emotions through the cold and artificial world of electronic sounds. That is why there is a lot of melody and sometimes even drama in my music, and this is why I'm often got bored with a static music.
This EP is called "Naturalist", a terms that defines a person who has devoted his life to the study of nature and its kingdoms. This directly relates to my strong belief that the further society advances, the more people are losing touch with nature, something that is real and to which they all belong."
