Chicks/Badgering

Techno
Chicks (7:18)
Sharking (1:03)
Badgering (4:08)
Chicks (Helm remix) (5:56)
Review: Simon Pomery aka Blood Music has already put out an EP on Powell Diagonal label - a true lesson in contemporary power electronics and steely-eyed pseudo dance music - so we knew that we'd be getting our heads battered once more. The opener, "Chicks", is a harsh and abrasive tribal dance to Lucifer, its rumbling kicks bouncing off poisonous guitar riffs, whereas "Sharking" is all hollow and beatless, pushing forth the delays and effects in favour of the noise. On the flip, however, the aptly named "Badgering" spits brain-damaging layers of machine feedback from its underbelly, the only thing holding the track together being its utter violence. There's a gorgeous Helm remix on "Chicks", where the young Pan affiliate strips the tribalism down to industrial levels and fills the canvas with a generous portion of reverb. Hotly recommended!

Techno
Tapeworm
Acetone
Glass Tooth
Review: Diagonal Records continues its unstoppable run of form with the debut release of Bronze Teeth, a duo comprised of Factory Floor's Dominic Butler and Richard Smith, whose music under the L/F/D/M banner on Optimo Music and Clan Destine Trax seems similarly indebted to the heritage of Throbbing Gristle. Far from being a simple exercise in analogue fetishism however, the three-track O Unilateralis contains some of the most uncompromising tracks the label have put out to date, with the 12-minute centrepiece "Tapeworm" proving a punishing exercise in arcane synth improvisation that finds itself forming into a shambling piece of zombie techno. Both "Acetone" and "Glass Tooth" are more conventional in their attention to rhythm, but are no less likely to bend minds on the dancefloor, employing the kind of rhythms that bring Ike Yard to mind.

Murder The Masters (7:27)
Alien Existence (7:23)
Review: One can safely say that Powell's Diagonal label has grown and prospered a great deal in the last year or two. While the imprint was previously focussed on bringing forth his own chilling pseudo-techno jams, he's just gone and dropped a two-tracker by none other than Consumer Electronics, a lil' old band comprised of Russell Haswell, Philip Best and Sarah Froelich. Conceptual might be the wrong way to describe these jams, but they certainly have an artistic air about them, where "Murder The Masters", for example, chucks a steady 4/4 kick below a dark and sinister male monologue. The B-side, "Alien Existence" evolves it into a relatively more musical affair, where the same voice is now accompanied by a female counterpart and a further injection of drones and metallic sonics.

Review: Ren Schofield aka Container is back with his first release of 2016 and our favourite noise/techno fiend lands comfortably on Jaime Williams and Powell's ever-excellent Diagonal label. Title cut "Vegetation" sets the scene with a murky, swamped-out techno fuzz that sounds a little like the soundtrack to an apocalypse, a blur of the senses that is swiftly followed by the more militaristic beats of the equally fuzzy 'Soak" - what a tip! On the flip, "Funnel" waves its distorted bleeps through heavy kicks and snares, "Radiator" a certified Container head banger, and the final tune "Insulation" is a broken medley of bass, drums and pure grit. Sick.

Review: L/F/D/M man Richard Smith and former Factory Floor man Dom Butler further outline their fascination for all things oral and techno related with the arrival of their first Green Guns 12" for Diagonal. The pair have already been working together as Bronze Teeth and if you are looking for some element of stylistic distinction between the two projects it would be that Green Gums is an outlet for Butler and Smith to lay down some trackier productions. The Black Tongue EP opens in wonderfully frazzled style with "ZoZoMoMo" which sounds like it was a whole load of fun to produce but it's not all acid madness from Green Gums. The punky, rumbling "Dag" is actually quite reminiscent of Diagonal founder Powell's own productions whilst "Tap Dancing Goat Man" is gloopy, primordial electronics in the vein of Charles Manier.

Need Of Angels (8:48)
Sleight Of Hand (5:23)
A Search Of New Realities (6:39)
Review: Having recently released Not Waving's industrial-influenced Animals LP, Powell and Jaime Williams' Diagonal imprint has clearly developed a taste for dystopian, post-industrial noise. In The Mouth Of The Wolf's eponymous debut brings together two notable flag-bearers for the darker side of electronic music, Berlin's Ancient Methods and Gordon "Cindytalk" Sharp. All three tracks are undeniably weighty, with angry, guitar-laden opener "Need Of Angels" - all clanking percussion hits, droning electronics and "up yours" attitude - coming on like the aural equivalent of a violent punch to the guts. There's a little more of a Microphonies-era Cabaret Voltaire feel about "Sleight Of Hand", while "A Search of New Realities" is refreshingly paranoid and claustrophobic.

Review: Japanese experimenter Kouhei Matsunaga has been quietly building an exceptional discography as NHK yx Koyxen and the numerous variances. With prior NHK yx Koyxen output on PAN, Skam and Raster Noton, Matsunaga's growing alliance with Powell's Diagonal label makes perfect sense. After debuting on Diagonal last year, he's back with Doom Steppy Reverb, a fresh NHK yx Koyxen LP that expands on his fuzzy, texture-laden, leftfield techno blueprint. So, while there's plenty of industrial-influenced darkness, claustrophobic tape hiss, and redlined rhythms, the Japanese artist also includes quietly beautiful textures and hazy, looped melodies. This is most evident on the foreboding, late night swing of "Y", where the application of dub delays helps emphasize the skewed, doom-laden mood. Superb artwork too!!!

Review: After a string of EPs on labels like Important Records and PAN, it was inevitable Japan's Kouhei Matsunaga and Toshio Munehiro would end up on the Powell's Diagonal imprint - now a nest of the coldest in experimental, industrio-techno. There's a bit of everything on here, from the broken, percolating percussion of "218"; the gorgeous bassline supporting "845", and the freaky pseudo-acid of "Whispering Gallery". To finish things off, both literally and not, "234" is a noisy, shattered and uber distorted cut, whereas "The Spiral Of Babel" is a rolling, fast-paced drum shuffle fitting of any sci-fi flick. An excellent EP and a fine addition to the Diagonal dynasty.

Review: In interviews, Alessio Natalazia has freely stated his next album would be "very different" and "very intense". That album, his first for Powell's Diagonal stable, has finally arrived, and it's as ballsy, robust and full-throttle as he promised. While it contains nods to the woozy, shoegaze and ambient influenced soundscapes that have been a feature of his previous full-length excursions, these are well hidden behind clandestine fusions of techno and industrial, surging EBM-influenced workouts, post punk-goes-post rock explorations and atmospheric analogue electronics. For those well versed in his back catalogue, Animals makes for arresting listening. As for newcomers, they'll also find much to enjoy throughout.

09 (Karl O'Connor remix)
Robotics
Review: The London-based Diagonal imprint launches with the sounds of label boss Powell, who calls in some UK techno royalty in the form of Regis to contribute an edit. The 12"s title (The Ongoing Significance Of Steel & Flesh) immediately suggests Regis and his bleak industrial take on techno are a significant influence on Powell, yet within the opening bars of A-Side such considerations are swept aside: here we have a producer wholly intent on carving his own distinctive sonic niche. On the title track that niche sounds like a lost Mute Records demo recorded in a dank Macclesfield garage, with the hollow drums looped and stripped back to their rawest form. The introduction of a distorted, crunchy bassline that precedes the track dropping out altogether for a brief moment is sumptuous! This shares the A-Side with the dread filled drone of "09", whose reverb-laden kick drum slowly emerges from the bleak landscape to create a sense of inescapable pregnant doom. Flip over for the Regis remix of "09", with clattering breakbeats pitched way down and buried beneath a hanging synth line; the brilliant dementia of "Robotics" rounds off this most excellent of releases with bizarre stop-start drum programming and a growling bassline.

Review: With the label at the peak of its powers after a breakthrough 2014, one of the final Diagonal releases sees material from Powell's excellent Club Music 12" treated and abused by the titan-esque figures of Ancient Methods and Richard H. Kirk. If you've seen Powell towering over some decks or heard his Melon Magic show on NTS it's likely you will recognise at least one of the four remixes here and it's hard to pick out one favourite. Ancient Methods goes all turbo-charged Nitzer Ebb on his opening Korpersaure91 remix of "Club Music" whilst the playfully juddering rhythms of the subsequent Pogo Im Saurebad effort should explain the title. On the flip Kirk boils down "So We Went Electric" to it's barest rhythmic elements on a fizzing main mix whilst the accompanying dub is full on crazy.

So We Went Electric
No U Turn
Maniac (feat Russell Haswell)
Review: ** Diagonal Repress ** Since Powell last appeared on his own Diagonal Records label back in 2012 with Body Music, his unique mulch of post-punk textures, industrial techno and jerky no wave beats has taken the world by storm, seeing releases on The Death of Rave and Mute's Liberation Technologies imprint. While Powell's sound to date has been characterised by frenetic, seizure-inducing rhythms, Club Music sees Powell bring things down to a more mixable tempo. "So We Went Electric" is the closest thing to straight techno he's made, though the frazzled textures sound like more Evol than Regis, while the pumped up monosynths that drive "No U Turn" are anchored by an underlying beat and guitar shreds that sound as if they could have come from an old Neptunes beat left to rust. Finally, the Russell Haswell collaboration "Maniac" is as crazed as its name suggests, a shrewd piece of contorted midtempo noise-funk which combines the raw power of both producers brilliantly.

Review: Upon release late last year, Powell's debut The Ongoing Significance Of Steel & Flesh was of course notable for the inclusion of an edit from UK techno royalty Regis, but in truth Powell demonstrated enough of his own musical ingenuity to ensure any future Diagonal transmissions would be eagerly anticipated. Across the five tracks on Body Music, Powell further carves his own distinct sonic niche, drawing on a palette of sounds that includes drum patterns that operate outside standard rhythmic sense, odd vocal samples and textural repetition that burrows deep. The title track demonstrates this aptly, and along with tracks like the lolloping "Grand Street" could feasibly be very much at home on the Downwards DO series, while "Search" discards with percussive notions altogether, relying on droning sub bass experiments to draw you in.

Review: Diagonal boss Powell designed the New Beta series as a kind of re-set: an opportunity to go back go basics and make music differently. The first release in the series, which landed earlier this year, was certainly a stripped-back affair, notably free of many of the stylistic flourishes we've come to expect. This follow-up is similarly inclined and sees the lauded producer saunter through tracks that variously doff a cap to weird ambient, bubbly modular electronica, surging, sample-laden post-punk workouts (see "Rudeboy, Let's Funk"), mentalist fusions of jungle and synth-wave ("Drums VIP"), intergalactic noise and tracks that defy easy categorization. There are a few impressively melodious moments dotted throughout, with the colourful "Strobe" standing out.

Review: Always one to keep us on our toes, Diagonal bossman Powell steps away from his XL output for this sudden mini album that's strictly vinyl and likely to be limited. Unpredictably, fizzy, fun and often perplexing, no one blends influences and bends machines quite like this man. From the anarchic double-speed new beat paranoia of "Wormhole" to the weirded out time signature and spasmodic sines of "Dogs On Acid" via the mangled reece and death metal tones of "97", this is Powell at his most comfortable, insincere and experimental. Grab it while you can.

Poison The Masses
Crawl On You At Night
Sold A Decade At A Time
Review: Powell's Diagonal Records label continues to plunder it's own unique sonic path, with the label debut of Prostitutes following swiftly on from that excellent Shit & Shine EP. Prostitutes is the current creative focus of James Donadio, a veteran of Cleveland's underground music scene, whose blend of blend of primitive rhythms and industrial sonics have graced Opal Tapes and Digitalis after the project's emergence with a self titled release on the artist's own stabUdown label in 2011. Fans of Container, Metasplice and Carlos Giffoni will find much that appeals in the Prostitutes approach that is demonstrated with aplomb on the Shatter and Lose EP. Indeed we'd go so far as say there are echoes of vintage Cabs in cuts like "Poison The Masses" and "Sold A Decade At A Time". As with previous Diagonal releases great attention has been paid to the sleeve art; created by Guy Featherstone and photographer Robbie Maynard, the pair tracked down two real prostitutes off the Caledonian Road in London, and overlaid their pictures on top of each other to create the striking, if disturbing, cover.

Review: There's a tongue in cheek sensibility and an air of confrontation to much that James Donadio does as Prostitutes which made him more than suited to Powell's Diagonal label when the Cleveland artist debuted on the label last year. It's nice to see Donadio back with the Simple Minds-riffing Ecstasy, Crashing Beats & Fantasy and contributing one of the final Diagonal records of 2014, a year that's been most successful for both artist and label. Donadio has said in interviews Powell tries to encourage him to take a more explicit approach to the dancefloor and that's evident on this quartet of Prostitutes tracks. The curdling acid of "Dollars To DMs" and the faltering bleep electro of "Side Effects Of Living" are particularly potent Prostitutes productions!

Review: Fronted by Texan musician Craig Clouse, Shit and Shine's skewed combination of primitive techno, industrial, noise and classic garage rock has gained them a significant live reputation, bolstered by their intimidating array of releases, predominantly arriving on the UK-based Riot Season label. Their thick-set musical style makes them an ideal candidate for a release on the Diagonal imprint run by Powell, and like his music, this eponymous EP takes a similarly skewed take on the dancefloor; "Blowhannon" is like vintage Cherrystones with added disco muscle, "Value" throws raw rhythms into a gravel filled washing machine and "Shower Curtain" combines a deeply sleazy sense of funk together with ethereal delay; most visceral is "Dixie Peach", a swollen morass of steroid pumped bass. Big tip on this one, no matter what your musical preferences are...

Review: Under his arguably better known Prostitutes alias, Cleveland producer James Donadio has already released an album on Diagonal (2017's industrial techno fired "Dance Tracksz"). This set, credited to his lesser-known StabUdown Productions moniker, is an altogether different beast. While it does make use of some of his regular musical elements - slack and groovy breakbeats, 8-bit electronics, moody bass and dusty machine drums, for starters - it's a far mellower and ear-pleasing affair, with Donadio making greater use of colourful synthesizer lines, drowsy chords, deeper beats and melodies. The result is a varied and highly enjoyable album that's well worth checking.

Ooze (Silent Servant remix)
Review: ** Diagonal Repress ** The project of Nation and L.I.E.S. artist Beau Wanzer and White Car's Elon Katz, Streetwalker first appeared with the Ooze cassette on Catholic Tapes back in 2011, before releasing the excellent Future Fusion LP on Minimal Wave sister label Cititrax last year. Diagonal boss Powell has long hinted at the idea of a Streetwalker release on his label, so fans of not-paying-hiked-up-Discogs-prices-for-cassettes will be very happy to see the title track from that 2011 cassette pressed up loud on 12". Apparently recorded using a "a rare E-mu modular system and a home-built light-sensitive synthesiser", the primal iteration of Streetwalker shown on "Ooze" is more unhinged than their subsequent Cititrax LP and feels perfectly at home on the 12" format. There is also a rather fine rework from Silent Servant which adds haunting overtones that will be familiar to anyone that's caught the Jealous God founder live recently.
