VERTICAL SPECTRUM - MNIEJ TĘDY NIŻ OWĘDY

circuit|breaker showcases emerging and established local artists alongside international icons of the underground, channeling authentic soundscapes anchored in the dancefloor.

With foundations defined by artistic freedom and opportunity, the label represents a mutual appreciation for the digital and physical realms, with a debut VA presented on two slabs of glorious wax.

Our first VA installment opens with label co-founder ADMINISTRATOR’s erratic and brooding synth composition, ‘VER5e+01’. LSS kicks it up a gear with the soothing sensory zapper ‘Perch’. The B-side flips to Texas-based Decoder with the delirious hypnotic stomper, ‘Giggling’, followed by Lindsey Herbert’s dancefloor weapon straight out of L.A., ’Control’.

Co-founder Connor Wall opens the C-side with the rich and unrelenting grooves of ‘Setback’. Emerging Naarm sensation, Neo, pushes the pedal down with the face-melting ‘Suppressed Actions’. All followed by Lask’s no-nonsense, dimension transporting acidic roller ‘Deepbush’. Flip the record and flip out to Arthur Robert's thrilling 'Kepler 452b', closed out by Sweden-based Franz Jager’s lush techno heater ‘Kantine’, a superior rush of rhythm with flourishes of funk.

circuit|breaker acknowledges the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation as the traditional custodians of the land on which we live, play, create, and work. We pay our deepest respects to their Elders past, present and emerging, and extend that respect to other First Nations people across so-called Australia. Sovereignty never ceded.

Hekum - The German Girl

16.03.25

KNTZ crafts techno that is more awestruck than dark and does seem to dabble into the hallowed grounds that techno seems to claim dominion over. This release showcases a form of timeless modular infused techno. It is a perfect combination of the pounding drums and the slashing textures which blend incredibly well.

This EP isn't just techno; it's a structural dissection of sound, a sonic autopsy performed under flickering neon lights. KNTZ offers no solace, only a guided tour through the decaying infrastructure of a digital dystopia. "Collapse EP" feels less like a title and more like a prophecy fulfilled across these five tracks.

Parallels: The EP opener establishes the mood: a relentless, driving force, like machinery grinding against itself. The kick drum is the anchor, heavy and unforgiving, while the metallic, clanging percussion creates an atmosphere of claustrophobia. Hints of melody flicker in and out, like distant sirens, adding a layer of unease rather than relief. It's a track built for forward momentum, a perpetual chase through concrete corridors.

Collapse: The title track dives deeper into the abyss. A distorted, echoing synth melody weaves in and out, creating a sense of vertigo. The track sounds as if a building is falling apart. The percussion becomes more frantic, more unpredictable, mimicking the chaos of a structure giving way. This isn't just music; it's an aural representation of instability, a soundtrack to entropy.

Disintegrator: A more subtle, insidious track. While still rhythmically driven, "Disintegrator" focuses on textural decay. Layers of white noise and static build, creating a sense of erosion. The sparse, almost mournful synth chords hint at a lingering memory before being swallowed by the sonic dust. It is as if reality itself is corroding into nothing.

Speedrun: This track delivers a more streamlined, albeit still unsettling, experience. A pulsating, almost hypnotic bassline forms the foundation, with sharp, metallic hi-hats cutting through the darkness. The arrangement is more spacious, allowing the individual elements to breathe, creating a sense of echoing isolation. It feels like a lone journey through an abandoned industrial complex, the rhythmic pulse your only companion.

Paranodial: The closing track embraces pure, unadulterated noise. Its a wall of distortion, a sonic maelstrom that threatens to consume everything in its path. The kick drum becomes a distant thunder, buried beneath layers of white noise and feedback. It's a challenging but ultimately cathartic experience, a release of tension that leaves you feeling drained and disoriented. It serves as the final collapse, the complete erasure of structure and form.

@alonji

Alonji - уроженец города Якутск. Отдает предпочтение энергичным, быстрым ритмам с насыщенными перкуссиями, а также атмосферному современному звучанию. В его руках техно - это прекрасный инструмент для выражения сокровенных фантазий через призму движений в танце. Несмотря на начинающую карьеру его сводки достаточно гладкие, а селекшн точно не уступает именитым артистам.

Alonji - borned in Yakutsk. He is an emerging techno artist drawn to high-energy, fast-paced rhythms, percussion-heavy grooves, and an atmospheric, contemporary edge. In his hands, techno becomes an instrument for inner visions, translated into movement on the dancefloor. Though early in his career, his mixes are notably smooth, and his track selection holds its own alongside established names.
