Umwelt is back on Midnight Shift, with another scorching 5-track EP designed to be listened in continuity. Ascending chorals, acidic swirls and horrific echoes rise above a mash of abrasive, caustic electro/breakbeat chaos with shapeshifting moods. Ambient track 'Gate of Nothingness' echoes and feeds back into 'Fear On The Dark Planet' with its arpeggiated refrain. Umwelt again at his prime.

MNS X 023 - Umwelt - Fear On The Dark Planet

A label that has pathed careers for the likes of Nightwave, Hodge, Special Request/Paul Woolford and many more, DEXT Recordings announce 'Blizzard'; a fresh 12" from the enigmatic Russian techno-head, Dawn Razor.

Following releases on A R T S, Scuffed and Holding Hands to name but a few, he is best known for both his live performances and DJ sets of broken beat techno, electro, mutated bass, post-trance and everything in between.

Title track 'Blizzard' launches the listener into oblivion with murky, travelling sub-low that whirls around a breakbeat and razor-sharp snares that attack like mosquitos.

'Vacant Crew' follows with an intense and rolling pulse of claustrophobic builds that clasp you in an electrifying position.

On remix duties enters Desert Sound Colony (Holding Hands/Dr Banana), portraying his own inimitable two-step spin on 'Blizzard'. Utilising the pads to create a unique air that sits around a playful and warm bassline, the choice of remixer truly sits perfectly with the overall palate of the record.

'Synchro' is a syncopated stepper with broken-beat Techno qualities and a shocking drop that draws you in and pushes you back out.

Closing out the EP is 'Dub Lead'; a digi-bonus track with garage-tinged breaks and mammoth bass modulations, sitting among atmospheric pads that float you further out to space.

PHXS19 ‘Portals’ EP is coming by the Brooklyn based Zeta Sect, featuring 70 minutes of blistering vintage drum machines contrasted against a haze of synthesis. Here Zeta Sect invites the listener to experience a fresh perspective with the insurgency of beautifully composed synth-wave, electronic body music and  synth pop treads into new and unique territory for your body and soul. The deadpan delivery of spoken word passages in conjunction with the intricate use of delay blends the world of synth inspired genres with a distinct tinge of 1980’s industrial flavour.

All songs written & produced by Heidi Sabertooth @heidisabertooth & R Gamble @rgamble

In early 2023, Tresor Records will reissue the sole output from Shifted Phases entitled The Cosmic Memoirs Of The Late Great Rupert J. Rosinthrope. Initially released in 2002, soon after James Stinson passed away, this LP plays a mysterious and compelling role in the Drexciya journey. While other records of Drexciya and related projects have received numerous reprints and editions, The Cosmic Memoirs... has remained out of print since its release. This rarity leaves it more open to interpretation with its place in the Drexciyan storm series, as it became increasingly hard to find and underexplored. 

Track titles Solar Wind, White Dwarf, and Lonely Journey of the Comet Bopp reveal a focus on cosmic realms, suggesting a link with the Drexciya LP Grava 4 that moves from the underwater to the galactic. As it launches with mechanical blows on a precise orbit, each repetition entrenches the gravitational pull in the galaxy of Shifted Phases. In many places, it sounds like the readout of frequencies harvested from outer space, pockmarked with packet loss from the millions of kilometres distance travelled. 

The music is hard to contain, intuitively restless in motion through its unfolding universe and achingly resonant. It shapeshifts across affectedly melodic sequences such as in Lonely Journey..., to the sparse, hard-hitting timbres found in Alien Vessel Distress Call and the mangled reverse vocals in The Freak Show, somewhat reminiscent of another Drexciya side-project, Glass Domain. The mythology of Drexciya is evident in how keenly James Stinson and Gerald Donald created their imaginary worlds. In Crossing Of The Sun-Ra Nebula, there is an undisputable reference to another Afro-futurist who delved deep into a galaxy of their own making.

This reissue does not merely close the loop on Tresor's reissue series of the Drexciya catalogue but brings Shifted Phases to fresh ears more than other records. Accompanied by newly commissioned artwork from Matthew Angelo Harrison, the 3xLP vinyl reissue also features the tracks Crossing Of The Sun-Ra Nebula and Alien Vessel Distress Call, which were previously only on the original CD release.

How Would It Be

The first Various Artists release on Kynant, ‘K.Y. Spaceʼ. Mike Parkerʼs unmistakable modulations and the broken-beat, UK techno of Forest Drive West share the A-side. Korridorʼs ultra-deep sonic exploration leads into fellow Swedish artist Fjäder crafting a downtempo beat in her signature ambient style.

Two years after debuting on Central Processing Unit with the acclaimed Aftrmth EP, Nullptr returns to the Sheffield label for the release of new full-length album Future World. Nullptr has created a set of perpetual-motion marvels here, wind-’em-up-and-watch-’em-go electro tunes in which synth lines and 808s weave dexterously in and out of one another to form these lovely interlocking patterns.

Many of the tracks on Future World are anchored by needlegun grooves in the Drexciyan mode. The album’s opening number ‘Arrowhead’, an eerie dystopian-electro take, sets the scene in this regard, and cuts like ‘Cytron’ and ‘Phantom Cell’ also have a rugged bump to their low-end - particularly the latter, which features a deliciously nasty bassline drop about halfway in.

While busybody drum programming persists throughout the album, Nullptr’s fondness for washed-out pads means that Future World also provides the listener with space for contemplation. Third track ‘Sweet Luna’ may be robust enough to do damage on the dancefloor, but its deep chords and relatively muted bassline also push it in the direction of 90s electronica and IDM-techno. ‘Sweet Luna’ opens the door for many of the subsequent numbers to balance driving beats with wistful textures, and while electro remains Future World’s core style the harsh sound of machine-funk is softened throughout by these warm synth tones.

Rather than playing it safe within the genre’s familiar confines, Nullptr instead uses electro as a base from which to incorporate other sounds throughout Future World. ‘Wave Cannon’s bleep-bloop modulars and twittering hi-hats are pure robo-funk, but the track’s jumpy bassline shows off a sense of adventure derived from braindance. There is also the ghost of a breakbeat in Nullptr’s snare programming here, something which lurks in the back of ‘Arvanche’ later in the tracklisting. Meanwhile the uptempo ‘Bit Device’ pushes through to the ruminative techno of Virginia’s early Ostgut Ton releases.

Nullptr throws us another curveball in Future World’s home straight. The album’s title-track closes the record out, and it’s a cut which takes us deeper than anything that’s come previously. Here Nullptr both lowers the tempo and also does away with drums, leaving the listener with little more than some hanging-garden synth pads and pregnant bassline. It proves to be a hugely atmospheric coda for this delightful album.
