The Exchange

Paranoid dancing machine.

With 'Vuile Leugenaar' Dollkraut delivers four solid techno tracks on Viewlexx that convey his love of distorted vintage electronics. He demonstrates his knowledge of the harder, genuine edge of music made for dark dance floors. Even more melancholic and darker than his earlier releases Ghoulia and Fetish. A perfect fit for the mighty Viewlexx label.

Terra 589 is a galaxy - a galaxy full of riddles and without clarity.
A riddle is a statement, a question or a phrase having a double or veiled meaning, put forth as a puzzle to be solved or interpreted.

Atrices „Terra 589“ Release brings you into a spiral full of Invertebrates and future technologies, things that neither possess nor develop a reality in its own breed.

The Development Of The Species 589 - Ozelot Recordsʼ 7th Release that will have itʼs premiere on Ozelots Digital Pleasuredome. A new Plattform, that combines visual experiences with music, merchandise, art curation. A gamified experiment.

How does the future of Music looks like? What will 589 bring into our reality? This is our interpretation.

From the depths of an ancient dark underworld, Nigh/T\mare has conjured a powerful offering of burning emotions that light the fires of one’s demons and invite the beginning of an epic journey through the unknown.

Via Thrènes Records from Switzerland, this offering is on point with their consistent releasing of top quality industrial/experimental techno. Entitled ‘Katharsis’, this artistically crafted set of tracks in the form a debut album twists and turns its way over tribal rhythms with dynamic feels and beating drums that break down anything standing in the way.

After an extended stop over in London, B E N N returned to Taiwan, inspired, with a commitment to create percussion-heavy, hard drum tracks at a furious rate.
His style draws from genres on the bass continuum, merged with traditional Taiwanese sounds and his innate and unique sense of rhythm. 

The EP “Synesthesia” using his own percussion-words expressing the inner conditions during past few months, featuring two tracks with personalbrand.
With the influences of hard drum, he attempted to reach out the diverse dimensions into the production, with natural sounds blending into different asian vibes with broken beats.

Experiments in rhythm that come into the exploration of nonspace in mind circle.

"Embrace your primal nature and let the frenzied beat lead you back to your ancestral roots". Leese and Capiuz join forces for a new split ep on Over My Body. Along with two mutual remixes of previous recordings and a brand new track from the experimental oriented duo.

Capiuz is the experimental dance project of producer and performer Luca Favaro. Based in Italy, his genre-merging production focuses on exploring rhythm and sound design in a club context. Often leaning towards live performances, Capiuz’s music takes the form of a heavy hitting outburst filled with heavy bass, breakcore progressions and granular textures.

Leese, based in Brussels, is an electronic music artist who has gained recognition for her unique style blending break and tribal influences. She recently signed two EPs with label Yuku, one of which was named the Best Bandcamp Release of April, and performs at clubs and festivals throughout Europe. On stage, Leese delivers a passionate and energetic performance, mesmerizing her audience with her powerful beats and enchanting atmospheres. She is becoming increasingly well-known in the electronic/bass music scene and her project is continually evolving and developing.

Misinput Tycoon (GEN052) is an album full of intricately engineered, futuristic sound explorations. More than ever, this album is littered with colorful, even contemplative segments: having an orchestrated, playful feeling. But make no mistake: more than mere intermezzos, this only a further dimension of the album's depth, the bright timbres ready to interface with a stroboscopic, liquid, granular counterpoint at any time.

Hungarian sound engineer, ex-media arts student, and sought-after producer Roland Nagy (previously on Infinite Machine or Pointless Geometry) says about his album:

“I’m constantly watching pixels since I was 5. This album reflects wasted time and digital traumas. MISINPUT TYCOON is a sequel of my FULLSCREEN album from 2019 - a sonic playground that feels much safer to me compared to my previous works. Also, it's the first album I made without hearing „What would XY think about this track?” in my head. These are my hymns for healing from the digital core - hope it will help.”

Marijn S debuts on XXX with a remix of the Roe Deers' The Enter of Sun. While the original is a trippy hypnotic journey that takes almost take you to otherworldly realms, Marijn S' remix kicks it up a notch making it a track that works really well on the dancefloor. Keeping the same hypnotic vibe but adding a punchy breakbeat line and adding up to the tempo, it for sure makes dark basements moving. Enjoy. XXX

Ópalo is the alias of DJ/Producer Alejandro Romero and was created to explore down- tempo beats and ambient drifts. Focus points of the project touch mysticism and spirituality while the music is created to leave the listener questioning its intentions. As the focus drifts from why it was made to how you’re feeling, clarity begins to shine through. The smooth, gentle, warm and deep sounds put the mind at ease, allowing the listener to find answers.

Sundial is a five track album created in Quito, Ecuador earlier this year. The album was created with a Yamaha MX49, a Korg Electribe and some effects from Arturia like the Buchla Easel, Synthi V and the Mini V. It also features collaborations from two Ecuadorian musicians, Pájaro de Rodillas and Luis García Montufar, who played a Fender Stratocaster and a quena respectively (quena is a traditional flute from the Andes commonly made from wood).

After 'Auras Around Humans' in 2021 and 'Waterfall Cave' in 2022, Grande Rousse disques is really proud and happy to unveil 'Ephemeral and Unseen', Sopoorific's third tape.

"Ephemeral and Unseen' is a celestial journey in seven magical chapters, seven new age incantations taking us into the dizzying immensity of an enigmatic cosmos. With each new step into its infinite depths, the echo of this astral ritual resonates louder and louder, spreading its invisible forces until it engulfs the mind and the heart. Perception is blurred, and it is on the threshold of liminality that consciousness wanders amid brilliant stars, mystical planets, comet dust and spectres that are the messengers of omens.

“In the back of the throat there is a subterranean river that holds you, humming towards the cave’s end. This end is a liminal mirror reflecting the contours of your voice. The mirror shows how —when brought to certain aquatic depths— unheard of limbs and wondrous branches are prone to sprout from your voice. Blind sibyls, your voice’s branches climb towards the surface, in search of light and warmth. After the great drought, your voice’s limbs persevere. They stand naked, pulsating in the purple that lies underneath grey. Your voice’s limbs erect themselves as monuments to air, kin among the deafening night. The water level is now only tall enough to keep your voice’s core below. Your voice, fed by the swamp, cradled by duckweed, wrapped in horse tail, has become a secret organ. Your voice palpitates and releases twin echoes that undulate, to smoke’s rhythm, in the afterglow. Intricately connected by labyrinth to soil and moon, through the water lilies’ roots, your voice weaves an underweb that flickers like the eye of a flame. Your voice sediments the entwined veils of miracle and prayer.”

Enrico Cesaro, the person behind the alias Mace., is back releasing his brand new work in collaboration with viscm and angoisse.

"How to be Yourself” is an ode to the ever-changing, untouchable unfolding of the self and the elusive observation of it.The ensemble of tracks shapes a canvas of individual experiences, family memories and collective uncoscious that suggests - both by blending together and maintaining their own singular character - the hurdle of grasping totality. Unexpected contrasts and social emotional imaginery inputs are present throughout the whole work, depicted with a range of sonorities that goes from progressive electronics to classical, from almost orchestral to noisy shoegaze.

’Trystero’, the debut full-length album of Stockholm-based composer Theodor Kentros, could easily be interpreted as “just” an assemblage of pieces written between 2021-2024. Named after the paranoid hallucination (or, if said hallucination is real, the underground secret mail system) figuring in the 1966 Thomas Pynchon novel ‘The Crying of Lot 49’, it should rather be perceived as a very distinct, coherent stream running through his output during these years.

The six tracks – ranging in sound and disposition from serialised organ drones constructed to reach screeching and beautiful culminations, to minimalist, repetitive studies in tape loops and string synthesis – were composed and recorded in Stockholm and Visby at different occasions during down-time from his many other projects, which includes a myriad of other commissions, co-running labels XKatedral and Kalkatraz Cassettes and touring with punk groups and solo shows.

In October he embarks on a west-coast US-tour in relation to the album being released. Moloton are proud to present ‘Trystero’ on a limited edition of 200 vinyl LPs.

Hailing from the mountains of the United States interior highlands, 24 year old producer Aulic Veil makes dark and heavy-hitting club music indebted equally to mid-00s UK bass weight, underground Midwestern techno, computer music morphology, and Symbolist art. Utilizing a variety of synthesis techniques, stochastic compositions, and custom software instruments, they blur the line between chaos and order and weave multilayered tapestries of sound from the unpredictable beauty that emerges. Expect warped acousmatic sound design interspersed between fierce hooks and high esotericism; no dancefloor left unshaken...

bad lsd trips - ultrafest (ENMB-17)
Excerpts below from the extended album description by Nick Klein, written February 10, 2025.

I. 

𝘣𝘢𝘥 𝘭𝘴𝘥 𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘱𝘴 is the collaborative duo of makers doris dana and domingo castillo flores. Respectively the two have fostered practices that have sprawled out through various approaches and, whether in the lanes of the musical or the contemporary arts, the phenomenology of the social and inclusive prevails. On 𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘧𝘦𝘴𝘵, this motif continues through the psychedelia of its eight time-defying recordings, welcoming the listener into an open temporal architecture of the stereo field as a signifier of environment. It is worth noting that the group began collaborating in Miami, Florida with longer form improvisations recorded to a stereo cassette deck. In these recordings, the paved geographical sprawl and oceanic view permeated the approach to amassing long swaths of sound material. Listening back on that work at the time of this writing, each track feels as though one is walking into an active space, arriving to an event already in full swing and finding your place inside of it. On 𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘧𝘦𝘴𝘵 (this album) something different occurs. The space and events are built around you as you move through the record.

IV.

𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘧𝘦𝘴𝘵 mirrors the balance of the temporal interiority and exteriority of the previously referenced chemical compounds when applied to the body for recreational psychedelic experiences. The jubilation of the slack jawed festival attendee, the gallop of the horse upon the earthen ground, the stagnation of humidity on the body, the sprawl of unkempt concrete through Florida cities, the aroma of bleach in a bar bathroom. On this album, the band illustrates the territories when you almost have your grounding; the moment when you are on the pivot between the real and the intoxicated, or even the really intoxicated. These spaces are the softening and hardening of light on your eyes, they are the gripping of a porcelain sink between moments staring in the bathroom mirror.

In an era where so much tremendous creative energy is put into a softer, safer space through ambient music to respond (negligently) or (worse?) take shelter from the hellish global condition of late capitalism; 𝘣𝘢𝘥 𝘭𝘴𝘥 𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘱𝘴 takes your hand into the murkier moments of reflection awarded to the listener in the genre. The resolution is not carved out for you, and what truly sits suspended in the ambiance of the now is an unfiltered view of where the world has come to through centuries of civilization. It’s a brutal landscape with an ill-determined end result. Where other practitioners of the sonic gesture of ambient are sheltering within a glistening plasticene blanket of clicks and rustlings with low pass filters of melancholic chord structures, this album burrows itself comfortably in the formless chaos of true psychedelia and reminds me 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 is truly what our unfortunate ambiance is today. The album reflects joy and terror, and it longs and leans towards finding something in the midst of sonic exploration. Passivity nullified, ambient beyond indulgence and evasion.

SΛRIN for Zenevloed - The Exchange

Pier blasts a fresh wind in the saturated French scene and is joined by veteran JoeFarr and artists of the moment Corroid and SDB. Divided Attention could be an ode to realization that life happens when one is busy making other plans. To be able to be more efficient in our day-to-day lives, divided attention allows us to process and carry out multiple tasks at a time. In music however, different sounds – which can be seen as stimuli – are often organized in a rhythm and are subconsciously heard as one piece, the composition.

"A mix of influences, vintage techno, some wave and body music"

"I think that’s the one thing about the mix that comes through – these tunes are more than just club tracks they are saying something, and it’s not all darkness. It’s about how fucking crazy and fun life can when you accept that dark edge is always around the corner."

Zenevloed premieres the title track Vast As Black Night on the upcoming Velvet May EP 'Vast As Black Night'

Tracklist:

A1. Vast As Black Night 
A2. Dagger And Fire 
A3. Sinuous As A Swan 
B1. The Venal Muse (ft. The Shivery Of Veil)
B2. Your Eyes Resemble Mud 
B3. Though With Tears

Release date: mid March

The Venal Muse is always present and gives birth to big pleasures and life representations, but at the same time, with eyes full of mud, to mind perversions and reality collapses, generating a contrast which leads the artist to another state of his mind. There a no simplifications, everything is translated without polishings and shades.

The music talks, it doesn’t lie and able to solve many cold and unsolved enigmas of the life, like a flower among many complexes, give reasons to the dramatic mind to live and generate something that is far away from the reality, spreading pleasures for all concerned.

Premiere: Velvet May - Vast As Black Night [Tears On Waves]

This double LP kicks off with DJ Varsovie's track 'Leaving Earth', exploring the piano through a sweet melody while maintaining a crisp four-on-the-floor rhythm. In contrast to this exploration, we really recognize the artist's touch on the other side of his first vinyl. 

Romantic and sentimental, DJ Varsovie signs two tracks: 'September' and 'In My Dreams', faithful to his sensibility. Both songs contain lyrics, written by the artist himself. 'September' mixes synths, percussions and melodies all into a dancefloor killer track. 'In My Dreams' presents a strong intro before it goes down almost dramatically to become a lighter and textured techno killer.

Track list:

Premiere: DJ Varsovie - September [Intervision]

Introspective journey into a deeper consciousness. A vertical poetry.

From UVB-76 Music’s fractal personnel rises Karim Maas. A familiar face behind a new mask, Maas, one of the sonic panjandrums at the core of the labels sound creates aural experience that bleeds between genre and tone with striking ease.

Explicitly undefinable by genre, Maas employs a recurring sound palette that binds his compositions together as a cohesive body of work which is conducive in series. As one-third of Ruffhouse and a founding member of production outfit 4 6 2 5, Maas’ obsession with hardware and outboard production kit is demonstrated by the warmth, body and sheer power of his work.

zenevloed 117 - Karim Maas

First hour of our A+W invite, with Imperial Black Unit

Imperial Black Unit is a technoïd French duo formed by Lapse of Reason and Templer in 2017. Their sound is characterized by a blend of early EBM/ Industrial vibes with today's sensibilities. By using an anti-establishment attitude and militaristic esthetic on top of hard rhythms, screams and sharp synths, they create an intense fusion of the past and the present.

Versatile A/V artist and producer based between Riga and Berlin, N1L intersects eclectic "club" music experiments with post-industrial psychedelia and intense alien soundscapes. Having recently been focused on independent self-publishing, his previous releases have also been put out by acclaimed labels such as UIQ, Opal Tapes, among others.

ПОТОП (“potop”, or deluge in Russian) presents seven pieces encapsulating dark apocalyptic themes, each setting the scene for a disorientating sonic landscape that references the genesis flood narrative found in the world’s ancient mythologies. Centered on Earth's return to a pre-anthropocene state of watery chaos, this allegory illustrates both punishment for man’s mortal sins as well as new beginnings born from the washing away of everything that has reached its final, obsolete stage — the message of which is increasingly relevant today.

ПОТОП

Premiere: N1L - fang mark semantics [Self-Released]

Marco Colocci (@queimada77) is an Italian producer and sound engineer based in Berlin. Learning how to play the contrabass and music theory has initiated the growth of his interest in the techniques of field recording and sound design, as well as his overall passion for electronic music. After self-releasing music during his teens, and later producing for Taiwanese artist Sabiwa from Chinabot, under the moniker Queimada he now presents a debut record coming out on Gin&Platonic.

Built around a concept proposed by Harvard professor E.O. Wilson, Eremocene depicts a future state of miserable epoch into which human species is slowly but steadily accelerating. Characterized by the existential & material isolation that comes from having calamitously extinguishing other forms of life on Earth while intrepidly fulfilling our immediate needs, the future labeled as The Age of Loneliness sees our identity completely transformed. 
On the record, Queimada explores precisely the conflict between the tempting ease and a pang of unconfessed guilt in an attempt to capture the ironical relationship they epitomize. The album represents an encounter between different techniques of granular synthesis and field recording. The encounter between the unstoppable and destructive, altogether resulting in a disruptive anthem of the intensifying burden of the postmodern times.

THEOTHERSIDE 03 is the new VA on Metempsychosis Records, featuring musical compositions by VSK, Torn Relics, Tapefeed, Flaminia, End Train, Forest Of Fire and Kinn.
Often when looking for change, we tend to search in the outside world. But the real growth happens inside. When we stop seeking something external to approve and help us, we finally find that whatever we wish and dream of, it’s down to ourselves more than anything else.
Shifting from external validation to pursuing our true selves, is the key to fulfilment. This VA includes tracks that highlight and support each artist’s unique voice.
Can you find your own voice inside of yourself? How can you bring it to THƎOTHƎRSIDƎ?

Ritualistic expression of motivated suppression, Meer's interpretation of the original seeks a no-nonsense outlet curated by night's terrors.

"Universal Poison is Istigkeit's first EP on his own imprint. For this big first, Istigkeit has decided to unveil some early works which were originally supposed to be out on the label of a fellow artist who unfortunately put it on a hiatus.

The release takes dance music down a dark alley and mostly offers dancefloor-unfriendly beats.
The whole piece can be described as a blend of cold broken techno and industrial music with black/doom metal influences. It is composed with four original tracks and four remixes by Meer, Töria, Halv Drøm and Nigh/T\mare."

The artist’s menial employment at a nightclub is explored in his third solo release, Coatcheck. In it, Zeisig carves a series of surreal apertures for viewing the club’s framework of workplace behavior and patron expectation. These viewpoints are so immersed and encoded in the physical and economic structures of the club that they sound far removed, or completely distinct—marking the realities of wage laborers who enable the necessary but still fantastical “escape” from capitalist drudgery.

The record presents different atmospheres and acoustics of the club—a place where people go to escape their working lives and release their inhibitions—from the perspective of a person working there. Functioning as a conceptual map of the space, each track on the album follows a different location of the building, activity, and mood of the worker. Instead of thundering beats and whirling debauchery, the artist yields the sounds of structures hidden from view but necessary to the production of public space.

The album is a meditation on the contradiction inherent in supposedly free and progressive spaces, which are in many ways the same as any capitalist institution in terms of what’s experienced by their menial workers and marginalized attendees. In an attempt to provide an auditory and psychic balm to the listener in recognition of this fact, Zeisig draws upon his extensive research and practice of ASMR phenomena during the recording process. A cultural sonic development that is located most often in the privacy of one’s home and head, such techniques are explored as a means of challenging the rules and arrangements that guide the club.  

All proceeds go to Women In Exile, a Berlin-based organization dedicated to helping women and families seeking refugee status and resettlement in Germany.
 
Florian T M Zeisig holds a master’s degree in sound arts from Universität der Künste Berlinand, and is a current excellence student of Prof. Carsten Nicolai (Alva Noto). His solo and collaborative work as half of the duo OCA has been released by labels such as Important Records/Cassauna, Anòmia, Constellation Tatsu and Métron Records. Recent collaborations include a feature on Kelela’s Aquaphoria mixtape and a remix for Loraine James. He has presented installation and performance work at institutions such as Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, Cafe OTO, and Hangar Barcelona, amongst others.

“Collaboration, not competition” is the motto of Body To Body, Sina XX’s new collaborative platform for harder sounds. The founder of Subtyl – one of the artist collectives responsible for Paris' rave renaissance – has gathered an army for high-pressure techno: underage KAOS affiliate u.r.trax, trance veteran Voiski, Cassie Raptor, K.U.S.S and Munsinger. 

Physical to their core, these 5 tracks are made to disrupt the effects of social distancing. “Miroir” opens up with u.r.trax' iconic voice, hammering a quote from Nietzsche (who said techno can’t be smart?) on a production that reminds a faster, harder take on early 2000’s electroclash. On “Invisible Fire”, a mind-bending synths part blurs the line between hard techno and trance, while the flip side offers a selection of forward-thinking rave bangers.

Release date: July 15th

Unknown delivers his first EP called "Inferno", which is part of the limited tapes catalog of the Greek label OSM tapes. The release contains collaborations with Bad Faith Actor (half of Alpha & Necromante) and Dolgener (half of MDD) and also remixes of Exome and Opioid Slot Machine. The producer has reunited his most industrial/noisy tracks for this release.
