Silicon Scally, the alias of electronic music producer Carl Finlow, released his critically acclaimed album 'Mr Machine' in 2002 on SCSI-AV. The album was a masterful blend of electro and sci-fi soundscapes, showcasing Finlow's unique style and production prowess, which took the listener on a journey through a futuristic world of machines and technology. It ranks as one of the finest electro records of the early noughties. Fast-forward to 2023 and Sync 24's Cultivated Electronics label is proud to present 'Mr Machine PT 2'. Like its predecessor, the new album is filled with intricate synth melodies, driving rhythms, and pulsating basslines, all perfectly balanced to create an immersive listening experience. 'Mr Machine PT 2' once again showcases Finlow's ability to not only create relentless beats for the dancefloor but also dynamic soundscapes that transport the listener to another world. Created using a mixture of both old analog gear and very modern plugins, both albums were written with a very strong emphasis on the machine aesthetic, reflecting the cutting edge of what was available at their respective times. Futuristic and timeless. The album will be released on triple-pack vinyl and digitally.

Plant43 - Mycology 3
AC Records
Release date: 5th May 2023

Order at: https://plant43.bandcamp.com/album/mycology-3

The third part of the Mycology series sees Emile Facey expand the earthy and deep electro sound world he forged with the first two instalments. Alongside the emotional dancefloor journeys we expect from him, each side of the record concludes with an experimental, beatless piece that conjures a twilight walk discovering fungi in the UK’s ancient woodland. Unfolding over 30 minutes, the six track mini-album sees Plant43 returning to the veteran electro label AC Records (this marks their 39th release) who present their catalogue in great style. Mycology 3 has a hand-stamped sleeve and comes in both black and a beautifully ethereal misty green, semi-transparent vinyl which reflects the mysterious atmosphere of the music and its mycological inspiration perfectly.

Formats:
Semi-transparent/light green smoky vinyl, black vinyl (limited to 300 copies) and digital.

Vinyl pressing by RAND, Germany.
Written and produced by Emile Facey.

Eddie Symons’ fine recent run for Central Processing Unit continues. The NULLPTR mastermind makes it four releases on the Sheffield label in five years with Recursor, a six-track EP which balances precision-engineered machine-funk grooves with an overarching aura of gracefulness.

Recursor finds its lane from the opening title-track. On the quicksilver ‘Recursor’ we get Drexciyan punch, a needlegun bassline and staccato arps offset by eerie washes of synths. There’s a tension between the two elements of the track, and this yin-yang combination means that’ Recursor’ will work equally well for both the rave’s darkest corners and also the euphoria of a sunrise set.

After the title-track begins the record at breakneck speed, ‘Pulsar’ puts proceedings into cruise control. There’s still enough punch in the drum programming to ensure that ‘Pulsar’ will deliver in the dance, but this mid-paced tune is dominated by its warping bassline and keening keys, all of which comes together for a pretty and strangely wistful number. ‘Pulsar’s energy persists into following cut ‘Phase Function, though there’s a twitchiness to the bassline here which gives this track a nervier, more neurotic feel. As well as the golden age of Detroit electro, you’re also looking at Silicon Scally and Annie Hall as ballpark references, though there’s a winning idiosyncrasy to the production here which is all NULLPTR’s own.

The groove which kicks off the second half of Recursor is one of the most focussed on the whole EP - ‘Seil’ has a bassline which moves with the intent of a heat-seeking missile. When combined with the distant snap of 808s and twinkling arps, the whole thing very much maintains the shadowy feeling of ‘Phase Function’, and it’s an energy that Recursor rides into ‘Stone Tape’. ‘Stone Tape’ boasts another stellar bassline, but rather than the low-end barrelling forward intensely as it does on ‘Seil’ the bass here skips all around the mix, pleasingly erratic and playful. 

‘Portal’ is an apt title for Recuror’s sixth and final track. Indeed, the whole vibe of ‘Portal’ makes it a perfect closer for this EP of detailed electro jams. This tune really does feel like a portal being opened, the bass and drums busying themselves on the floor while chemtrails of synth in the upper-end of the mix intimate something enticing beyond the threshold.

Sparky yet sleek, Recursor is the latest fine machine-funk collection from NULLPTR.

NULLPTR - Recursor

“hiding in the gas giant’s radio shadow, Viikatory’s needle ship lay patiently in wait. the AI’s madness had become clear when it had started to paint six-fingered royal portraits and expressed admiration for the most cruel of her predecessors. she had managed to escape, but only by the skin of her teeth. any second now the fleet that was once hers would swing by the system’s central star, triggering the activation of a thousand fusion accelerators hidden in the sun’s corona. her trap was set. any second now…”

following her outings on @internationalchrome, @warningberlin, and @tresorberlin, @viikatory joins TRUST with an EP of four raw, kinetic electro bangers - at times explosive and in-your face, at others subtle and romantic, but always shooting straight from the heart of the sun.

Release Info :

Negocius Man - Illegal Lockdown [Microm Records // MR031]

ILLEGAL LOCKDOWN is the second part of DREAMSCAPE, in March 2020 during the illegal lockdown I decided to turn on my Ensoniq EPS16+ and other machines with some piece of software to create a new future, authentic 90s sound with classic tools and limitations, force and rebellion.

Fast and dirty sounds, direct to the nervous system, tension as in graffiti nights. Music of dark times.

Remember, no matter what means you have to create or what neighborhood you are from or what city you live in Madrid / Detroit / Barcelona / Berlin / London / Amsterdam ... the music is bigger.

Dedicated to my family, friends and all the people who support my music, lives & dj.sets. Thank you.

A1. Future 
A2.All is Corrupt
A3. Dark Soul
B1. The Sound Of The Resistance
B2. The Rebel

Human Rebellion - Unmatrixed ep (WMR004)

Album #4 of 5, RECOGNIZER

Alternate title: BORG KAFE

This was an album that was made when I moved to Seattle in 2020. I was intrigued by the idea of a future where robots have replaced humans and are mimicking their ancestors by going to electronic 'cafes'. What would they be listening to?

It's now 2024, almost a quarter of a century later. The idea is one that I think is closer then we think.

RECOGNIZER is an acronym for what happened to humanity, and is buried somewhere within the album. See if you can where it's hidden..
