MMP142 -  Alice in Flames - META MOTO PODCAST

Formerly known as Daniel Holt, Thorn re-emerges into the music scene with a bold new identity and sound. After years of creating in isolation in Tennessee, he has now relocated to the vibrant pulse of New York City, bringing fresh energy to his work. 

With releases on respected labels like Lies, Frigio, DeathDecayMagic, Acero, Mechatronica, and Gravitational Waves, Thorn’s music is a dark, compelling fusion of techno, cold wave, industrial, and postpunk. His sound explores raw atmospheres, driving rhythms, and haunting melodies that evoke both intensity and introspection. This latest podcast mixtape marks his return,
channeling past experience into boundary-pushing productions that invite listeners deep into his shadowy sonic world.

motiv-a is a DJ and producer based in NYC. Her style is driven by the tension between the underbelly of society and the uneasy question of whether humankind is a virus or merely a vessel for its own unraveling. Informed by formative years in the 2000s American DIY and noise underground she is drawn to the grit, resolve, and outsider spirit that shape certain sounds. Her sets move through desire, grief, dissociation, and euphoria with sounds that
bypass language to states of hypnosis, dissonance, and raw physicality.

Prolific duo Years of Denial return to Veyl with another genre bending, dance floor ready EP titled Love Cuts.

Acting as a transit between 2023’s Suicide Disco 2 and the forthcoming Suicide Disco 3, Love Cuts explores the various angles of love - ranging from the digital to the forbidden, toxic to erotic and beyond. A blend of death rock, future goth, EBM and rave, we once again find the project’s poetic, powerful lyrics fusing with motorized beats and 4x4 rhythms.

Kicking things off is the shadowy, death rock inspired, "Devil in a Skirt", an infectious ballad about a temptress that may not be what she seems. Next up, "Affaire de Coeur" delivers body fuelled stabs which elegantly bleeds into "Hide & Sick", a more high energy cut, set to scorch the floor. "We Are The Party" keeps the pulse pounding with your next EBM anthem while "In Your Bed" shatters sonic boundaries and leaves things drenched in acid rave. "AI Lover" closes things out with more future goth rave energy which acts as both a warning and a desire for more.

Love Cuts builds on Years of Denial’s previous work while setting the stage for what’s to come. Commanding vocals and dominating beats transmit a powerful message of both the dystopian and euphoric. Remaining uncategorizable, the project continues to evolve their unique sound while burning a path toward the future.

Years Of Denial - 'Love Cuts EP' (clips) | VEYL045

Vinyl + Digital: https://geslotencirkel.bandcamp.com/album/acid-puke

Gesloten Cirkel is back with a blistering new 4-track release. Known for his uncompromising sound, he dives effortlessly into stroboscopic acid with the title track and the ruthless "Heisinprison," while delivering near-tearjerking industrialized house with the summer-tinged jams "F-unkz3" and "Breaking The Lamp." The Acid Puke EP oozes equal parts dystopian rave energy and twisted melodic bliss. This is Gesloten Cirkel at his most focused and feral.

For the second chapter of our Elementa Obscura series, the compilation moves with even greater force toward the dancefloor crossing the jagged territories of industrial, electro, and wave, sculpting six tracks where raw mechanics and shadowed atmospheres entwine.

Opening the record, FIUME (the side project of Croatia’s Le Chocolat Noir (Bunker Records, L.I.E.S.)) sets the tone on ‘Factory Wall’: a slab of cold industrial hypnosis where relentless drum patterns march across frozen synth landscapes. Pure machinery in motion.

On A2, Canadian producer Memorex channels a more measured energy. A steady, rolling bassline anchors intricate analog textures, while carefully layered pads expand into widescreen atmospheres. A track that feels both cleanly architected and deeply immersive.

Closing the first side, Uruguay’s Nyxloid: an EBM torchbearer with an unmistakable turntable craft presents ‘Utopicx’: hypnotic patterns, futuristic atmospheres, and metallic soundscapes loaded with tension. A cut built for those who thrive in the darker corners of the floor.

The flip side dives further. Ole Mic Odd, veteran of the US electro (KRI Records, Zement, Source Material, Kraftjerkz), contributes a heavyweight statement: razor-sharp pads, low-end menace, and grooves carved with mechanical precision. Electro at its most uncompromising.

On B2, Spanish artist Thai Lady Boy delivers a fierce industrial techno cut that feels like electricity itself in revolt: distorted acid sparks, convulsive rhythms, and scorched fragments of noise reassembled into a driving, chaotic whole. It’s unstable, dangerous, and wired for intensity.

Finally, RNXRX closes the circle with Altered States: a plunge into body music mutations where rhythm becomes rite. Oscillating between experimentation and sheer physicality, the track reveals the artist’s darkest impulses and his will to transgress.

Six cuts aimed at adventurous DJs and fearless dancers. As always, this is a one-time pressing of 250 copies only.

The artwork seals the vision: a planetary heptagram, historically used as a tool for cosmic contemplation. Representing the seven classical celestial forces, its geometry encodes order, proportion, and spiritual resonance mirroring the record’s sonic invocation.

Stay tuned, soon we’ll announce the official release party of Elementa Obscura Vol. 02, where one of the artists from our first edition will take the stage.

Tracklist & Interview  : 

♥ Can you please tell us something about yourself ?

I'm just a music lover who likes to share what he likes.

♥ Tell us something about your Music (any upcoming projects/releases/event) :

I like to travel through various genres. For me music is a journey and I don't like to get stuck on one place. Currently, I just make some selections.

♥ Can you share with us the genre.s/artist.s/label.s/place.s or event.s which may has influenced and/or that may played a role in your music practice today ?

Hip Hop is the the only genre I've never stopped listening. My first raves were Techno, I was a D'n'B freak for a while and had a House period as well.
I've always preferred mainly "black" music - Funk, Afrobeat, etc. Big fan of Cumbia and French Caribbean sound. Liked Ninja Tune and Amon Tobin back in the day, Tru Thoughts and Quantic after that. Soundway and Daptone records are also favorite labels. I've had quite a few years without any electronics at all so now I'm still catching up, actually.

♥ Which genre.s/artist.s/label.s/event.s are more relevant to you nowadays ?

I prefer slower paced industrial sound these days. Percussive/experimental bass and dub sound as well, and weird shit. A bit tired from the Electro. Big Science Records, Notte Brigante and Ethos Records are my favorite labels currently. Artists worth mentioning are Gil Barte, Lostsoundbytes, Marshall Applewhite, Poladroïd, Manasyt, Simon Grab, Dhangsha, Jauzas The SHining, Tslasonic and, of course, Alexandre Gand (Le Syndicat Electronique).

♥ Tell us an album that you would recommend listening to :

DTP#46 - Egzotikka

Egzotikka is the project of Osvaldas Bertašius, a Lithuanian artist based in London. Working somewhere between minimal electronics, post-punk, cold wave, and lo-fi EBM, often using analog machines, dusty drum boxes, tape hiss, and his own voice.
He runs the META MOTO label and radio show, for us an absolutely safe bet for cold wave, post punk and obscure electronics and has released music on Detriti Records and Raw Culture just to name a few, both solo and in collaboration (most recently with Shaknis).

For this mix he went fully 7-inch vinyl, all of them chosen with great care. Moving between minimal wave, post-punk, EBM, lo-fi electronics, synth stuff, between cold and anxious, slow and broken, but always a bit clingy and raw. Enjoy.

Title : The Most Complex Things 
Label : CGI Records
Release Date : March 2019
Format : Vinyl 
Order > https://cgirecords.bandcamp.com/album/dumpster-diving-know-how

“Dumpster diving know-how” consists of six tracks that operate both on acid sequences and on fairy-tale-like synthesizers. But this fairy tale is eerie, full of sound waste and disastrous prophecies. There’s room for a tribal apocalypse (“War Drums For Children”), broken acid techno (“The Most Complex Thing” recorded together with Elena Sizowa, a Belarussian DJ and producer) and some spooky yet magical synth landscapes (“Take A Deep Breath & Dive Into The Bin”). What can be heard throughout the whole mini-album is the excellent sound that is not afraid of dirt, noise and “sound waste” that the title refers to. 

Dumpster diving know-how” mini-album will be available on green vinyl and the person responsible for the perfectly matched artwork is Bartosz Zaskórski/Mchy i Porosty.that’s coming out on CGI Records from Atlanta on the 15th March.

Title : Layering The Lies

Over the last few years Justyna Banaszczyk aka FOQL has released an impressive amount of music on different types of media, on labels such as New York Haunted, Always Human Tapes, Gooiland Elektro and Pointless Geometry. Her hypnotic and unconventional style stems from her industrial and dark roots, and thanks to her soft spot for experiments, heaviness and the most innovative corners of dance music, she avoids the obvious, what can also be heard during her live performances. The artist associated with Oramics collective is releasing a new record “Dumpster diving know-how” that’s coming out on CGI Records from Atlanta on the 15th March.

Premiere: FOQL - Layering The Lies [CGI Records]

Taken from FOQL’s new album „Dumpster Diving Know-How“ coming out via CGI Records on 15th of March.

order → https://cgirecords.bandcamp.com/album/dumpster-diving-know-how
distribution in Europe → https://lobsterrecords.co.uk/products/foql-dumpster-diving-know-how

FOQL is a polish experimental dance music producer and founder of Oramics collective that focuses on empowerment of women, non-binary and queer people on electronic music scene and also on promoting communities and artists from East and Central Europe.

She is releasing her new album „Dumpster Diving Know-How“ on 15th of March through Atlanta based label CGI Records. The label specializes in every imaginable mutation of house, techno and experimental music and you can find releases from names like Prostitutes, Osheyack or Russell E. L. Butler in their catalogue. We can definitely recommend adding their name to a list of interesting labels and if you do not have such a list yet, we recommend to start it now. Life is much more comfortable with lists like that.

We are premiering a magical track „Take A Deep Breath & Dive Into The Bin“ from the album that is not afraid to wrap sound in dirt and beauty in decay. The track almost sounds as if Coil recorded a captivating soundtrack to losing consciousness. And we love it.
