Premieres

Kri Records strike back with a cassette compilation under an appropriate name: Trust the Rust! Rust dealers come from all over the globe. 

Nasty electro cuts are served by LA-based Ole Mic Odd who has released on labels such as Zement, Italian producer and the mighty Gravitational Waves owner DJ Nephil, British veteran Chupacabras with seals of approval on L.I.E.S. among others, and our Russian friend Larionov, who regularly puts out bangers for Rotterdam Electronix. 

The Electro part of the compilation is rounded by the local Ljubljana legend operating as a DJ and Honest Work label owner, 198319831983. EBM-ish march is saluted by Black Dot, the duo of Christian Kroupa and Le Chocolat Noir, soon releasing music on Mechatronica and responsible for our first release. Christian has also joined forces with the Dallas and Science Cult native Aura Nox. NYC and wave EBM bangers are represented by R Gamble, Spinal is an up-and-coming producer from Chile having released a great EP on Pildoras Tapes, while Bianco Negativo is an Italian duo behind one of our fav labels, Marguerite Records. 

10 tracks exploring the dark corners of Kri Records are available on a super cute cassette or digitally via Bandcamp.

Alongside the digital release, a limited-edition cassette (60 copies) includes a 39-minute excerpt from J. Mono’s latest live set at the Dalmata Daniel & MMN showcase in 2020, held just days before lockdowns transformed live music. With cover art by Studio Jetski, this cassette captures both the crafted intensity of J. Mono’s studio work and the raw energy of his live performances.

Album: Pacta Sunt Servanda
Song: 1N5UR63N73
Label: Pildoras Tapes
Release date: 20/07/2020

Bandcamp link: https://pildorastapes.bandcamp.com/album/pacta-sunt-servanda

Bandcamp notes:

July 20th, Colombia's "Independence" Day, Pildoras Tapes (https://soundcloud.com/pildorastapes) releases the EP "Pacta Sunt Servanda", an audio-manifesto by the electro- conspirator/ activist/ Dj and producer, SPÆCIALISTA (https://soundcloud.com/radiospacialista), which reflects the anger, indignation and despair of a country reluctant to change.

Today, 210 years after the signing of the Revolution Act of 1810, Colombia is taken by political corruption and concentration of wealth, leading into a devastating situation of social inequality, permanently feeding an armed conflict that has not let the country progress along the way of reaching sovereignty, freedom, social justice and definitive independence.

THERE IS NOTHING TO CELEBRATE!

FLUX notes:

FLUX is proud to premiere 1N5UR63N73 by SPÆCIALISTA featured on Pacta Sunt Servanda, an electro-tinged techno ride with a great sound

PREMIERE: SPÆCIALISTA - 1N5UR63N73 [Pildoras Tapes]

DAMAGED CLOCK Live [PILDORAS TAPES]

in a space so dim and dark searching for a pathway out
through a crevasse
lost in your thoughts. 
cause I'm so scared 
I am nervous and alone 
not impervious 
so much doubt 
all the silenced voices, gone
but not in your head
your own shadow 
leaves you blind
and twists your mind 
I am nervous and alone
take a breath
take it in
feel fear that plagues you
cause i am nervous 
and alone
no such fix
untill it breaks 
I am nervous, so alone.

Catacomb

Moments In Ice

PREMIERE • Cavalry Stone - Relentless Lashes [Pildoras Tapes]

Apples

The fourth reference of the Nöle seal is here.
 For this occasion we have an original song by the well-known artist The Hacker, who this time signs it with his alter ego Amato in which he has already published on labels such as Pinkman, Return to Disorder (Helena Hauff), Cititrax….
 The rest of the Ep is completed with three remixes.  One of the increasingly powerful Years of Denial that have made a voice adaptation.  On the other hand, there are the world-renowned Spaniards within the Esplendor Geométrico industrial scene.  And to finish a remix of Orlok 101 with a more track-focused theme.
 The above references have already been supported by artists such as Dave Clarke, Phase Fatale, The Hacker, Lokier, NX1, Unhuman, Alienata, Reka, and many more.
