Produced off the back of a profoundly inspiring trip to his homeland last year, Luigi Madonna crafts the pin-sharp ‘Italian Shocks’ EP. The Amsterdam-based artist is a key Drumcode contributor, who runs the label off the back of last year’s well-received collaborative EP ‘Mad World’ with Roberto Capuano. 

The title track is brain-spangling, industrial and brilliant, characterised by a suspenseful narrative, which is typical of Madonna’s creativity in the studio. ‘This is the Future’ is crisp and rolling, an intelligent tool for every set. ‘Enveloping Times’ is punchy and hypnotic, an immense transcendental belter ready to be unleashed this summer. ‘Interfrequencies’ is an exhilarating rush to the head, as a killer bass synth and piston-like drums for a rave-ready finish.

Experimentation is the root of all good findings, in the case of Khords, it Is a need, rather than a form of expressive force, Techno constantly changes the form in different directions, sometimes less often than others giving us birth to something special and highly impactful, B4 Dead is an ode to all those artists that see more than one pattern in music, and darkness is impressed in their subconscious. Less and less we see nowadays impactful labels in the Techno circuit trying something new, this is our answer to that, just close your eyes, you will find the way.

Khords - B4 Dead (ARTSX049)

OMEN Recordings unleashes a striking line-up of 6 dark techno tracks, each one crafted to draw listeners into a world where intense rhythm and atmosphere converge. This release captures the raw energy and shadowed layers that define OMEN, with each artist bringing a powerful, distinct element to the mix. Together, they create a collection that pushes forward with relentless intensity, holding nothing back.

KAYLAH - Braindead: Sinister stabs and looming, shadowy tones create a menacing, spine-tingling groove. The UK artist returns to OMEN with a dark edge that feels both unsettling and raw.

TW84' - Exhortation: With layers that evoke dread and urgency, this piece from the Colombian producer feels like a plunge into darker realms. Fear-inducing tones build tension, pulling listeners into an unyielding, immersive experience.

OPTIMAL DECAY - Collider: Industrial textures and cyber-inspired sounds collide in this track, unleashing an explosive, high-octane force. It's intense and electrifying, a true sonic assault that leaves an impact.

LUCT MELOD - Kieghur: Anchored by a gritty, unrefined EBM bassline, this track hits with an aggressive rawness. Its unfiltered energy and rough texture feel both powerful and unapologetic.

LETHAL ONE - Interrogate: The American Techno legend presents vintage acid lines intertwined with polished rides, creating an atmosphere of calculated tension. The track's layered complexity feels both refined and charged, keeping listeners on edge.

ADAMHD - Cicuta and Socrates: Grindy saw waves meet crushing kicks in this heavy, relentless track. A dark, pulsating force, it builds intensity with each layer, striking with a primal power.

True to the essence of OMEN, RITUAL10 captures techno's raw, unfiltered spirit, fusing intensity with an atmospheric depth that doesn't let up. This release is more than a collection; it's a confrontation with the darker side of techno, leaving listeners transformed and pushing Rituals beyond boundaries. With every track, this volume reinforces OMEN's status as a powerhouse in dark techno, challenging norms and setting new standards.

SHDW & Obscure Shape - Die Weiße Rose

AL001. 24th June 2016. Realm Of Consciousness.  

Afterlife and Tale Of Us are proud to announce ‘Realm Of Consciousness’, a 10-piece compilation
expanding the Afterlife totality into a label. The label and events will complement each other with one
aim; to bring the crowd into another dimension of music perception with enthralling production to that
ignite the senses.
The ‘Realm Of Consciousness’ voyage commences with Tale Of Us’ Lies - a fitting introduction with
quivering keys and restrained percussion that engenders an ominous suspense ahead of Monoloc’s
enigmatic industrial techno crunch, Phoenix. Shifting through the haunting chords of Recondite’s dynamic
Murphy’s Law, to the brooding synth of Poseidon by Ukrainian duo Woo York, the realisation of Afterlife
utopia is upon us. The repetitive, mesmerising synth and effective reverb that Somne creates with Triangle
is an odyssey within itself. From there, John Hester’s expertly woven ‘Logan’ is a feverish techno stab that
transverses through the emotional senses, transitioning to Locked Groove’s adroitly crafted Emeralds, to
Ryan James Ford’s ambient, albeit percussive, techno cut Toree Bahrstad. Die Wiederkehr is the outcome
of Obscure Shape & SHDW’s collaboration, which incorporates facets of techno and trance that have
been shaped with real guile and finesse. Mind Against round off the compilation with Gravity - a
mystifying ambience and a fitting title as we touch back down to planet earth.

Sebastian Mullaert is well known for his work as one half of the highly respected Swedish duo Minilogue, responsible for killer releases for the likes of Cocoon, Crosstown Rebels and Wagon Repair, alongside breathtaking live shows as a solo outfit as well as their joint live act with Matthew Jonson.

Working from the idilic setting of the mystical Swedish forest, Sebastian Mullaert has has been making serious waves on his solo artist journey, lending his signature hypnotic sound to labels like Mule Musiq, Drumcode, Minus, Kontra-Musik and Ovum. His one of a kind spellbinding live show is illuminating the world’s finest stages such as Panorama Bar - Berlin, Concrete - Paris, Fabric - London, Labyrinth Festival - Japan, Black Market - NYC to name a few and can be witnessed on his recent Boiler Room and XLR8R sessions. 

At nearly 13 tantric minutes long, ‘Windmaker’ bubbles and teases with freestyle keys with an almost Middle Eastern flavour, as Mullaert plays snake charmer to his machines, coaxing out deft melodies, airy cymbals and on point beats and percussion.  It’s a track to completely get lost in, crafted with fine sonics and a gloss that only an artist like Mullaert can achieve with ease.

The enigmatic Ukranian producer, Vakula, is drafted in to give a re-interpretation of ‘Windmaker’; edgy phased stabs puncture the minimal techno beat, bouncing and reverberating off the kick drum to create a glorious wall of dubby sound that compliments the original mix a treat.  Vakula has always impressed with his creative and original music for labels like Firecracker, Dekmantel and his own Leleka imprint, so it’s a privilege to have him remix on Hypercolour.

Relax your eyelids 
Focus on the darkness 
This is your time to relax 
You dont need to think about anything 
Except being right here, right in this moment 
With me. Dont think about tomorrow, or yesterday,
Just be here 
In your body.
