Imagine the reflection of a crimson sunrise breaking through power lines, mirrored in a chrome throw-up with a tar-black outline somewhere in the heart of Babylon’s railway tracks and just dissolve in this fantasy.

Rivet’s new album for Editions Mego is an uplifting and joyous affair coming in the wake of tragedy and disenchantment. It is yet another rebirth from an artist willing to take a step back and reprise the current situation he is in. Mika Hallbäck has a long credible history in the Swedish underground. First recognised for his industrial techno works under the Grovskopa moniker he worked privately on more experimental works that eventually came out as On Feather and Wire, an album released on Editions Mego in 2020. After much acclaim for this bold new direction that blended electronic abstraction, pop and industrial forms into a heavy synthetic trip two tragedies struck. One was the passing of label boss Peter Rehberg and then the passing of his dog Lilo, who was as close as a companion one could have. These events led to the release of the more unsettling follow up L+P-2 (Lilo and Pita minus two) on Midnight Shift Records in 2023. Peck Glamour sees Rivet return to the reawakened Editions Mego with an album of optimism inspired by reconciliation with loss and further explorations of new mental/sonic realms.

Hallbäck defines his approach as not being married to any particular machine, instrument, process or genre. However he holds a particular affinity to sampling, of which, he says, provides the dirt and grit amongst what would otherwise be pristine, generic machine music. The contemporary crate digging method of scouring obscure download music bogs for unique sounds was his preferred research practice.

Peck Glamour is an album full of tracks brimming with the excitement of exploration. It's the results of a mind informed by punk, industrial, techno, dancefloor, disappointment, trauma and rebirth. Here the synthetic and authentic is viewed simply as the same means of human rationale and expression.

The opening, ‘Catch Up to Light’, sets the scene with ecstatic and odd fluorescent vocals sliding amongst crystalline likembe whilst synths swirl amongst the external festivities. ‘Orbiting Empty Cocoon’ is somewhat a homage to the alien sound worlds of The Orb, one which takes the listener deeper into a mind melting array of teased potential as visual elements are executed in a mask of audio wizardry and euphoric staccato rhythms, the later being a nod to Singeli music. ‘Patitur Butcher’ is more dance frontal utilising the Ghatam drum and a YouTube rip of a Chinese language lesson. ‘Plastic Bag Putain’ was made during the beginning of Russia's invasion of Ukraine and should be clear of its intent. ‘All that Heaven Allows’ is a marimba cover of an imaginary Love Parade anthem. 'Kyrie Geire’ potentially briefly fills the void left by the demise of Coil. The entire trip of Peck Glamour is sewn up with ‘We left before we came’ whereby extraneous recordings of double bass player Gregory Vartian-Foss (tuning/strumming/moving the bass) are superimposed with local field recordings to create a gorgeous bed of sounds acting as an exciting exit music to this sharp collection of cinematic ear excursions.

A recent discovery well worth your time is newcomer imprint, Salt Mines. The independent label running out of Melbourne is headed up by two producers and mates, Shedbug and Rudolf C. As part of Lobster Theremin's close-knit distribution outfit, Salt Mines share the philosophy of focusing solely on limited run, heavyweight 12" records. The music these releases contain, however, span the dance music spectrum with artists from all corners of the hemisphere.

Their inaugural release, Salt001 serves up a prime selection of cuts from their Oz hometown, all neatly grouped by an overarching theme of loose house and techno. EP opener "Summer" ranks as our highlight – five minutes of funky, laidback house from Milanese beatsmonger and a new name on our radar, DJ PHLOWGOD. The bar on this compilation is set high from its outset, followed up by tracks from both label owners, ending with a hard-hitting surprise by CoastDream. An apt round-off to a debut release well worth shouting about.

Salt001 drops on 6th Nov, with word on the release being kept strictly in family. For any pre-order info, get in touch with the Salt Mines crew direct.
