Review: Stochastic Resonance come through correct with their sixth instalment of the series, this time bringing together the talents of Akamoi, Ynaktera, Cosmonauta, Mariano, Ghostphace and Scual for a proper stirring of the senses on this noisy, drone-laden beat of an EP. Akamoi starts with furious swells on morphing feedback soundscapes, while Ynaktera goes for a pixelated sample workout recalling Pan's Jar Moff. Mariano's "Mysterious Ways" sets the dance tempo, amalgamating a twisted, slightly off beat pattern with bleeps and stabs and "Rome Boredom" by Ghostphace is another special moment - quick, psychotic synths fall into an absolutely terrifying ocean of distortion and satanic noise infusions. What a blinder!

Review: Terence Fixmer and Douglas McCarthy are what you would class as big dawgs in the house and techno game. The two have been present and very much in the frontline since the turn of the millennium, but their collaborative project under the Fixmer/McCarthy banner has been more of a recent conception. They've released plenty of effective dance material for Fixmer's own Planet Rouge imprint so, it was time to branch out, and what better way to do that then release an EP for Adam X's gnarly Sonic Groove? The label's been a staple of the NYC techno diet since the 90s, and it really is showing absolutely no signs of slowing down as it reaches its 30 year birthday. There's two cuts to the electrifying "Chemicals" tune, a first version with the vocals intact, and a second instrumental cut; the base of the tune is high-powered techno with a bubbling electro bass line, and a malevolent flurry of punked-out vocalism. "Wrong Planet" is a stranger sort of beast, a tune that lurks in the depths of the techno underbelly, but that has no problems in launching continuous arial threats in the form of sinister screams and spectral melodies. Enter if you dare...

Review: Whatever Makes You Feel Safe is a collaboration between Canadian producer and singer Marie Davidson and Berlin based Ukrainian sound designer Invisible Church. They met in Montreal during Red Bull Music Academy festival and shared the idea of exploring the concept of feeling safe both on a personal level and as a part of society. Quite different from what you'd usually associate with Davidson but still worthy of your attention all the same. Beginning on the A side with "Collage" featuring some chilling drone experiments over textural sound design and field recordings which allow Davidson's haunting vocals to carry the track further into the void. Sounds like a cross between OAKE and Lustmord. Next up "Never Release The Tension" delves further into pitch black territory on this contorted downbeat industrial thriller. Finally on the flip, we've got an epic 10 minutes of haunting esoterica in the form of "Ten Years" and features Theo Parrish on cymbals! The label recommends it as for fans the late Mika Vainio, Black Rain, CTI, and the Bladerunner OST. Pretty on point, if we do say so ourselves!

Review: Entro Senestre's BANK label is back this time with a couple of the scene's favourite analogue noise merchants: local sonic terrorist Nick Klein (Primitive Languages/Alter) and Brussels mutant EBM pusher Maoupa Mazzocchetti (PRR! PRR!/Mannequin) with a collaboration that is as rusty and grungy as you could certainly imagine. On the A side, the untitled first offering is a snapshot of slow burning proto techno in reductionist yet gutsy fashion, the tom drums in this one are fierce. On the B side we've got the (probably inadvertently) early Steve Bicknell sounding untitled cut with pummels away in loopy and hypnotic fashion and it's all about the squealing monosynth lead which really packs a punch.

Review: Gravers kicks off with a strong various artists release that sets out is electro stall in fine fashion. Kovyazin D opens up with the rugged and hard hitting electro-techno of 'Modularity' (feat Alexandr) with its stomping drums and frazzled synths. There is plenty of gothic energy to the slapping machismo of the acid laced'Proven Witch Psalm' from Antoni Maiovvi, then Millimetric offers up 'Espace' with a spiralling synth line and more caustic drums. Anton Levdikov closes down with 'Vardi' and a dark, driving bassline. This is a high impact EP for those who like it tough.

Review: M Parent's penchant for texture is laid bare on this searing and arresting new EP for Zement. It opens with 'Gravel Pit' which sounds like an audio diary from a car-wrecking plant. Twisted metal, fizzing battery acid, and crushed glass all feature over a distorted baseline and broken rhythm. Those same scuzzy sounds define the rest of the EP from the acid-laced 'Ideal Future' to the coruscated funk of 'Acid Thirst' via the caustic intensity of closer Climb These Walls'. An impressively unique offering that very much has its own singularly sound palette.

Review: Maahrt is the debut self titled EP from a mysterious producer about whom we know nothing.His new 12" opens up with an eerie bit of slow motion and cosmic techno with tortured pads. 'Clag' is another twisted mix of sinewy electronics and broken beats for dark back rooms, while 'Noma' then picks up the pace with a more weighted bottom end dragging its heels through an industrial wasteland. 'Noma' (A Strange Wedding remix) is more ready for club deployment thanks to its chugging groove and a final Odopt remix layer sin more melody, rickety drums and cosmic energy.

Review: Italy's shadowy Mace has been spraying eerie techno all over the workshop for the last two years, and his releases on both Further Records and Attic Music have landed him a place on Violetshaped Veleno Viola label - translated into English as Purple Poison...we're in. "Stronger Than Education" is glitchier than his previous releases, a groove barely held together by wonky shades of gargling acid and ultra distorted percussion slithering; and "Sarakin" truly heads down the EBM route with its harsh sonics and hissing drums. On the B-side, "Scenario C" is more angelic, a little more uplifting, but still entrenched in Mace's melancholic euphoria. Dark, odd, broken, and just the way we like it. Tip!

Review: Bedouin Records enlist Thomas Feriero for some new music from his current industrial period. The former tech house man doesn't shun his roots altogether, laying down functional grooves but haunted by darker and noisier textures and tones. "Onto Duat" is clunking and intense, "Take Nothing With You" is lit up by serrated synths and oversized hi hats tethered to monstrous break beats, while "Change Your Mind" is a sludgy, paranoid cut for marching crowds. "Riot Patrol" is the best of the lot, with slow motion heaviness and a real sense of dystopian atmospherics locking you to the floor.

Review: RECOMMENDED
Seven Years of Delirium was originally released as a whopping 40-track digital album celebrating seven years of Berlin's Liber Null imprint, with artists such as Ontal, Repitch, Monica Hits the Ground, and Celldod featuring on the credits. Subsequently, some of those tunes have made their way to vinyl, with this logically titled outing the second instalment in the staggered wax releases.
And what an instalment it is. Efforts like 'Bodyshocks' by Alessandro Adriani define dark groove, delivering an effortlessly infectious, punch-packed dose of futurism built around a simple keyboard riff, with effects layered over to create something that feels much fuller than it is. Impossible to resist, elsewhere expect equally devastating cuts, from the sledgehammer heaviness of 'Springer' to the industrial fronted, discordant melodies of 'Fault & Failure'. Simply put, this is techno for proper heads.

Review: The 140+ BPM revolution race with scarcely a look in the rear view mirror. Malaizy here dropping two tracks that show just how wild and weird stuff can get in this part of the dance music spectrum. 'Burgercome' itself has hints electroclash, juke, ghetto tech, footwork, and EBM, without fully committing itself to any of those things by way of a DIY punk on speed in a Parisian warehouse party vibe.
Over on the flip, 'Stuck' is an entirely different beast altogether, which probably isn't that surprising considering the unique and particularly niche nature of the opening tune. Rather than setting a break neck pace, instead we descend into a staccato amalgamation of white noise, distorted drums and inaudible human murmurings.

Review: All things considered, it's been a pretty big year for Peder Mannerfelt. First he releases on Glasgow's Numbers imprint, and then Will Bankhead and Joy Orbison's Hinge Finger label - what could he possibly come up with next!? Well, the dude is back on his own, self-titled record imprint with an unsurprisingly loose set of dance tracks, starting with the near-beatless ambient waves of "Joan @ The Rave", and followed by the beat-heavy techno punch "Public Images". "Request Line" kicks the B-side off with a wonky bit of leftfield dance experimentation, spear-headed by an aptly bizarre set of bass tones, allowing "Blog Kept A Growing" to ties this wonderful EP off yet more frivolity, manifested by a stop-start power electronic rhythm. Much needed - go grab it.

Review: In what's being described as a year of rebirth for Peder Mannerfelt, the Swedish synth specialist has put his previous work as half of Roll The Dice and his housier inclinations under the The Subliminal Kid alias to one side to focus on a new avant garde solo career. This trajectory is geared toward complex sound design and sophisticated synthesis and ahead of the Lines Describing Circles album for Digitalis Recordings, Mannerfelt has created his own platform called Peder Mannerfelt Produktion. The debut release, titled simply EP1, sees the Swede experiment with sonics in a manner that will appeal to fans of Mike Parker, Emptyset and Donato Dozzy, and Raster-Noton's blips and glitches.

Review: 2014 is treating Peder Mannerfelt very well so far, with a critically acclaimed third Roll The Dice LP completed with Malcolm Pardon complemented by his own development as a solo producer that's manifested itself in a debut LP for Digitalis and the launch of an eponymous record label. With plans afoot to release on Sendai's Archives Interieures label, Mannerfelt's second release on his Produktions label arrives and adds more shape to this most compelling of producers. Some five tracks deep PM002 delves further into the world of humming signal paths and discombobulated synth patterns with emphasis toward sound-sculpture over traditional rhythmic groove.

Review: Having built his reputation via a trio of must-check EPs on Bokeh Versions, Mars89 transfers to Alex Hall's "mutant electronics" imprint Natural Sciences. The producer is a neat fit on the imprint, with "2020" containing a quartet of creepy, hard-wired, industrial-tinged cuts that seem eerily fitting for these troubled times. He begins with the bone-rattling beats, machine-gun percussion hits, ricocheting metallic clonks and gut-punching bass of "GoodThing", before successfully fusing mutilated industrial sounds and paranoid rhythms on "JoyCamp". Over on side B, "DayOrder" is a strangely swung slab of mind-altering electronica that defies easy description, while "MiniLuv" is a thumping stomp through lo-fi techno territory in the company of a steroid-fired monster.

Review: Adrian Marth is an ultra-talented Slovenian producer focusing on Italo disco and synthwave, all while not-so-occasionally seguing into dark synth and dungeony themes. This latest release from the artist is a collaboration with Diana Berti, a contemporary Italian EBM legend also known as Violet Poison, and who here backs up Marth's chilling productions with extra boxy EBM intonations. Four tracks influenced by the unique mood of 1980s slasher movies, with a hint of retrofuturism to boot, are reeled off over the space of a single 12" slab. Our faves include the gothic sizzlings of 'The Moon Wizard' and the dark sonic level design of 'Panoramix Forest'.

Review: First surfacing on Legowelt's Strange Life back in 2004, Rotterdam's Ian Martin has brought his own brand of dark ambient and unsettling electronics to a stellar clutch of labels that includes Further, Bunker and Drvg Cvltre's New York Haunted. Of these, it is the Bunker/Panzerkreuz crew that Martin has become most readily associated with, perhaps due to the fact label and artist reside in the Netherlands. Wright Seer finds Martin back on Panzerkreuz for his first release of 2016 and features five more untitled tracks of subtle drone-electro hybrids that sound all the more mind-bending with each successive listen.

Review: Five years on from debuting the Mass-X-Odus alias, Brooklyn techno veteran Adam 'X' Mitchell returns with more end-of-days industrial techno. On the A-side you'll find two distinctive versions of thought-provoking workout "Endless Blight": the nagging, post-apocalyptic stomp of the Stray Bullets Mix, and the EBM-esque Lawlessness Mix, a mind-melting affair that features rhythmic spoken word vocals from the man himself. Over on the flip, "Skid Row" sees the Berlin-based veteran wrap discordant electronics and powernoise motifs around a skewed electro beat, while "Slumlord" is a particularly weighty and distorted slab of 4/4 techno intensity.

Review: Mauopa Mazzochetti makes crusty, lo-fi analogue techno in the vein of Container and has seen him release previously on Unknown Precept and now he's inaugurating promising Belgian imprint PRR! PRR! On the first side of this techno 7", the modular sensibilities of "O Horror Na" warble away in a guttural fashion backed up by thumping tom drums. "Mona" meanwhile is more uptempo with its overdriven kick drum tearing through the speaker while accompanying woodblocks and loop on aggressively. "Black Humor" on the B side is another slobbering affair with a dark reverberated melody flatting on top of a sick acidic baseline and rusty analogue drum patterns. Finally "Limbo Line" goes out all guns blazing in a hardened minimal synth style; bleeping, zapping and hissing all over the shop.

Review: Girona based dark wave enthusiasts Oraculo are back with Larm Und Stahl - a compilation of EBM & industrial sounds utilising new approaches.

Clashing sonic contributions from the likes of Micro.Tron, Unabomber, Italomario, Poble9 Robots and F_Phono, all tracks inside straddle the eerier ends of acid and new beat, conveying the kind of apocalypse soothsaying not by atomic scientists, but by retro gamers. Best among these is F_Phono's all-hallowsy jaunt, 'Post Punk Aberration', a track that revels in well, aberrating and not fitting in anywhere else. We're happy it's found a home with the 22 crew.

Review: Pavel Milyakov has largely impressed since making his debut under the Buttechno alias earlier this year, delivering a pair of 12" singles that gather together short, hardware-driven experiments in a variety of dystopian styles. Here, the Russian producer debuts under his given name, once again flitting between dark and spacey dancefloor workouts, bleak broken techno, macabre electro, wonky IDM and panicky ambience. Despite the stylistic shifts, the EP hangs together impressively, thanks in no small part to Milyakov's penchant for industrial textures, tape echo and haunting melodies. If you're into the releases of L.I.E.S and Berceuse Heroique, you need this in your life.

Review: Berlin's Arboretum collective has certainly got their own thing going, a rather special kind of look to their releases. The imprint has been active since 2012 and specialises in audio-visual works, the images of which are beautifully printed on their record sleeves, and their second outing from newcomer Mogano is a perfect match between sound and vision. The EP travels across percussive soundscapes, where hollow kicks and dubby subs are swallowed by grainy layers of noise and majestic flurries of strings. "Annunaki" is considerably harder in style and is remixed by Downwards resident Kerridge into a hypnotic bundle of steely drums and cut-throat sonics, while title track "Sycomore" is apocalyptic, fiery and rotten at the core. Wonderful stuff, act fast!

In Love & Death You Are Alone (clear vinyl 10")
Cat: SUB 21. Rel: 23 Nov 20
Review: Not necessarily the album title everyone needs in the winter, let alone the winter of a particularly difficult 2020, but given the overall feeling of Moljebka Pvlse's powerful two-track release the cold and unapologetic name makes perfect sense. The whole thing is dense with dark moodiness, packing intent and a sense of the unsettling into every second.
Talk about tension, opening with 'In Love & Death' there's more than a sense of subtle dread to the organ refrains and murmured, muffled vocal chants. The pressure builds over the course of the arrangement, finally subsiding to leave us on the sparse chords of 'You Are Alone', a piece that slowly develops from those initial disorienting but delicate chords into something much more sinister. An incredibly powerful trip from the Swedish master-experimenters.

Review: After three years of putting out quality industrial techno, we still don't quite know the name behind the Monica Hits The Ground moniker; we have our suspicions, but the two EPs that came out via the Horizontal Ground label are still yet to be claimed by someone. No matter; we love the MHTG sound, and we think the young and foreboding Veleno Viola label - translated from Italian as 'purple poison' - is the perfect home for it. The Backwoods Preacher is made up of five disturbing slices of distorted power electronics starting with the unsettling noises of "3:55", which fall into an echoing pool of sonics at "4:32", and which start to take some sort of techno shape through "4:19". On the flip, "6:18" heads back to the doghouse thanks to a cold, ear-shattering cacophony of noises; a sonic climax that reaches its peak with the grainy, molecular beats of "5:21". A chilling and brooding experience. Not for the faint-hearted...

Review: Alongside the Great Circles label and a single release for The Trilogy Tapes, Philadelphia duo _moonraker's output has also come through the _bruxist platform. The _moonraker duo's return to the label comes in the form of the five-track Refracuity EP that comes full of the foggy, broken electronica we've come to expect from the Philadelphia-based experimental electronics scene, and each production here is as confusing, unhinged and murky as the next - the haunted glow, tubular phase action and mechanical repetition of "IIIII" is a particular highlight.

Review: Modal Analysis continues its unrelenting march towards the darkest territory in the electro landscape with this deadly 12" from Morah, which wastes no time in laying waste to the good vibes with the sinister stomp of "Voltage#1". The second track pumps up the rhythm section and lays down a sidewinder of a synth line that smacks of understated rave perfection, and it's that same synth that courses through the marginally more hypnotic "Voltage#3". Vapauteen offers up a remix of "Voltage#3" that slows the original right down and works a kind of mechanical tropicalia into the bones of the original.

Review: Helena Hauff's Return To Disorder label plunges once more into the grimy underworld of electro and wave music, this time guided by dungeon dweller Morah who debuted on the label in 2015 and has since gone on to great things via Lux Rec, Berceuse Heroique, brokntoys and more. "I Saw, Strained Her Eyes Peering Into The Gloom" is a bittersweet dance with distortion as disheveled as it is catchy, while "Dance When Lights Off" pushes even further into the red with scintillating results. "Against Your Beloved" sounds positively shimmering by comparison, even if on its own it's still a truly dirty slice of jacked up electro. "One Shade The Less, One Ray The More" is a strong closing bout that draws from a similar sound bank and applies it to a more techno-minded structure.

Review: INDUSTRIAL/DRONE/NOISE: Having had some time out of the releasing game, Mordant Music return to extol the virtues of exploratory electronics that exist in a thoroughly darkened corner of your psyche. "Post MorteM" actually steps into action on a whisper of a 4/4 thud, while atonal ripples, scrapes and a fantastically out-of-place drum roll slowly stalk an imaginary prey. It's impulsive and overtly obtuse music, but within the wily sound design there's an occasional melodic phrase the struggles to free itself of the shackles of noise. Just as it teases your ears it disappears again into the monochrome. "ModeM" is less structured, collating low-end tones and rumbles before a climax of arrhythmic blasts of white noise start rapid-firing across the mix.

Remarkably using these elements to form a strong of rudimentary rhythms that don't so much veer as jump between tempos, the results may not be for everyone but that was clearly never the intention. A convincing argument for the potential and usefulness of what you might call 'found sounds' - recognisable because they are so commonplace, they hide a musicality that makes you realise there are harmonies, melodies and time signatures everywhere if we keep our ears open and listen close enough.

Review: Vessel and Ossia's charmingly DIY concern FuckPunk has seemed hell bent on freaking out the listener in an irreverent fashion wherever possible with their releases to date, dabbling in rancid Sleng Teng versions, obscure gabba covers of Abba and championing the cause of stoned wordsmith Chester Giles. Their latest effort encapsulates this FuckPunk ethos perfectly, coaxing Bristol musician Matt Loveridge of Beak fame into a three track journey of self-styled "omniphonic bliss-torrent, radge noise, broked-up electrics, hymnal dirge fer 'eye-a-the-storm' kinda allelujah." Featuring track titles that last as long as the productions, the snappily titled ^ __ ^ will go down as one of the most unique slabs of sonics released in 2015.

Review: Developed as off-the-cuff cassette overdubs, work taking place in Manchester and Massachusetts, combined with syncopated vocals, Human Engineering very much lives up to its name. Narrated by Rick Myers, with long-time collaborators Andy Votel and Sean Canty in charge of the noises, it's a strange place to spend some time but it's also oddly beautiful. At first ear, the aesthetic feels rough and mechanical, definitely anything but human. But as things draw us further in to whatever this plain is, the organic at the root of everything rises to the surface. Suddenly, the obtuse noises no longer sound alien, and instead have taken on their true form - products of people, perhaps artefacts from a time we're about to forget. One in which machines were ours, not their own.

Review: Curses is Berlin-based DJ and producer Luca Venezia, who has proven himself to be a reliable authority on all manner of deviant dancefloor sounds from the recent and distant past. On this compilation for Eskimo he takes up the challenge of spanning four decades of darkwave sounds by bringing seminal classics in line with exclusive new material for an epic 38-track compilation, which gets a thoroughly useful sampler edition for the vinyl DJs out there. The tracks on offer include Nuovo Testament, who get a punchy remix treatment from Curses himself before we can feast on the seductive minimal wave of Mary Moor. Curses also revamps JWB Hits The Beat with a strong Euro slant to the production, while the 12" mix of Sheffield pioneers Cabaret Voltaire's 'Blue Heat' rounds the set off in legendary fashion.

Review: And just like that, France's Kump label is born. The newly formed crew make for some pretty promising prospects if this debut EP is anything to go by, and they've started flying off our shelves with the same sort of zesty energy found across its five killers! Thankfully, this isn't yet another deep house joint and, one the contrary, it provides us with some seriously fresh strains of house music built for the next decade. Ricco's opener "Gilbert & George" is a punchy, mid-tempo pulser with a subtly acidic flow, and Pletnev's "Thunder" follows beautifully with the same sort of beat, but comparatively tamer harmonies. On the flip, Ju-Ju83 gets all sombre and industrial on "Untimely End", while "Nirvana" by Roe Deers offers a totally different sort of 'sad', and Markus Gibbs's "Dernier Souffle" manages to blend mid-90's acid with something that, well, we can't quite put our finger on...

Made for serious soundystems, finely tuned to perfection, the spectacular level of detail means even when there's a hint rather than definitely defined beat, there's always a sense of rhythm that's easy to feel with feet, while the arrangements themselves are aiming straight for the mind. An expansive six tracks form this EP, which pretty much define that idea. Oma Totem's "Amb Minus", for example, uses tom-style drums to create urgency, with scarcely a kick in earshot. "Center Of Things", by Mioclono, counters that by bringing the 80s vibes via a purposeful punch, reverbed synth line and low-bleeps, threatening to put you in a trance. Closer "Bretonn", meanwhile, sees Odopt adopt a dark, desolate mood that sounds as though it was born on a factory floor.

Positive/Elsie (hand-numbered limited 7")
Cat: CONFESSION 001. Rel: 20 Jul 12
Review: Confessions is a new 7" label courtesy of ever-surprising London based label Blackest Ever Black, who take their enthusiasm for industrial techno and scorched post-punk and apply it to the 7" template. With appearances from techno hero Regis, cult underground artist Vatican Shadow, and post-punk outfit Black Rain in BEB's short lifespan, noise legend Pete Swanson's appearance on the first 7" is yet another indication of the respect the label is gaining among the underground noise, industrial and techno community. His track, "Positive", is a searing piece of dread which is perhaps even less accessible than his recent Man With Potential album on Type, while Moin's "Elsie" is an example of typically scorched industrial post-punk in the spirit of Tropic of Cancer. Strictly limited to 300, the intricate artwork is complemented by a dinked 7" with vintage stylings.

Few Tricks For Nervous Dealmakers EP (140 gram vinyl 12")
Cat: CY 004. Rel: 29 Feb 16
Review: REPRESS ALERT: Contort Yourself has once again gathered the best and boldest from past and present for its fourth EP. To begin with we have the grimacing visage of Volition Immanent, an intense live act made up of Parrish Smith and Mark Van de Maat (Knekelhuis). Behind rawkish distortion, splintered beats and acrid bars screams a boiled anger; a track spitting on the divides of punk and electronics. Nastiness is taken up a notch as noise ne'er-do-wells Zombies Under Stress take over. Static is bent and doubled across thick chords and collapsed clap in the 1986 "Maan Zal Zijn" before the raw and raging battery of "In Onze Tijd." L.I.E.S. regular Svengalisghost grapples with "Maan Zal Zijn, channelling the original's rage into a mechanical monster. The 12" is bookended with bite as Mark Forshaw (Tabernacle/Berceuse Heroique) closes with the tortured and torrential thump of "Submission." A callous, caustic and fervently cruel EP.

Various Artists #2 (12")
Cat: KUMP 4. Rel: 13 Mar 19
Review: KUMP's second multi-artist extravaganza - the Lyon-based label's first such exercise for two years -brings together tracks from a quintet of eccentric experimentalists. Clanking, horror-inspired creepiness is provided from the start via Jon The Baptist's lolloping "Hear No Evil", while those looking for some chugging, mid-tempo dancefloor sleaze should make a beeline for Maahrt's "Davardage". Elsewhere, Stove's "Chief of Nine Sisters" is an industrialist's take on tropical music with a suitably pagan twist, and Yssue and Yaws' contributions both sound like contemporary re-inventions of Nitzer Ebb style electronic body music (albeit with a touch more inherent looseness).

Previously Undisclosed Rituals (12" + poster + MP3 downoad code)
Cat: VEYL 003. Rel: 03 Oct 18
Review: Thomas Freiro and Alex Knoblauch recently described VEYL's first multi-artist offering as "an experiment in noise and body music". 'In practice, that means a blend of moody, paranoia-inducing drum machine chug (Years of Denial's dark, arpeggio-driven "Is It Over Yet"), bustling, funk-fuelled Nitzer Ebb revivalism (the rather fine dancefloor workout that is Autumns' brilliantly named "Get It Booked You Bastard"), red-lined industrial electro (RNXRX's "Cybele"), slamming techno/thrash metal fusion (the punch-to-the-guts that is Maenad Veyl's "Subtle Violence"), Depeche Mode style creepiness ("Beetleguise" by Poison Green) and vaguely unsettling, paranoid electronica (Exhausted Modern's superb EP closing cut "Nekam Nesen"). It's all pretty clandestine and gothic in ethos, but also really rather good.

Review: Les Disques Crepuscule debuts a brand new and exciting project here that involves a collaboration between Julie Campbell (aka LoneLady), Stephen Mallinder (Wrangler, Cabaret Voltaire) and Benge (Wrangler, John Foxx). Their first limited edition release Clinker is about experimenting with layers fo different guitars and rhythms to mimic a sequencer. The result is a strong collection of standout tracks from 'Camouflage' to 'Condition Collapsing.Says Mel of the process, "I'd forgotten how liberating it is to play bass guitar on something, ripping up live percussion onto the sound of machines."

L'Orvietan (LP)
Cat: REGRM 004. Rel: 09 Aug 12
Review: As Editions Mego continue to ladle the fertile broth of Musique Concrete for forgotten gems, this selection provides an interesting spread of artists, with the approaches of five different experimentalists in the field of sonic research winding up mutually beneficial. Juxtaposing the forlorn and otherworldly collages of sound helps give these pieces a little context, with the differences between them providing a great entry point for undeniably obtuse listening. Edgardo Canton's "I Palpiti" is an especially enticing romp through the inner workings of a sixties science fiction laboratory, while Mireille Chamass Kyrou's "Etude 1" features pops and clicks so close in the mix that it'll send shivers down your spine.

Review: After releases on offshoot labels The Stone Tapes and DROOGS, British producer Tom Cooper aka Karim Maas returns and is no stranger to UVB-76 Music either, on which he presents his long-play third release titled Godless, in collaboration with Stave. A collection of greyscale and experimental cuts on the more jagged and angular fringes of techno are forcefully executed on this one. From the brooding industrial breaks of "Loop 002", to cerebral four-to-the-floor pummellers such as 'DAT', through to Regis-like broken beat body bashers like 'Project1' and the heaving dronescape of the title track - this one is heavy duty so handle with caution!

Review: Matt Stephensons' genre-shaping electronic project Machine Girl celebrated its tenth-anniversary last year with the release of their 5th album 'U-Void Synthesizer', the 3rd since Stephenson recruited live drummer Sean Kelly on the payroll eight years ago. Since then, Machine Girl has blown up on social media with '????' (Uzumaki) and created an OST for Neon White (my game of the year in 2022). Embarking this year on a solo tour after supporting their hardcore peers 100 gecs on their shows, 2023 is shaping up to be Stephensons year.
'U-Void Synthesizer' has been dubbed by many longtime fans as their best album, with cuts like 'Blood Magic' showing clear influence from their direction for 'Neon White'. Reconnecting with the punk rock angle they took on their 2017 project '...Because I'm Young Arrogant and Hate Everything You Stand For', a name that puts The 1975's album conventions to shame, embracing the waves of industrial noise, as well the lighter tones from 'Neon White' like in the bouncy techno-aligned 'Scroll of Sorrow'. Stephenson and Kelly have garnered a reputation amongst concert-goers for gathering some of the most insane crowds conceivable, to rival even the gecs patronage; think playing card game Magic: The Gathering in the mosh pit or grating parmesan cheese on people's heads. Machine Girl is music for the hyper-creative, hyper-frustrated generation and 'U-Void Synthesizer' is a much-adored idol to worship.

Review: Long-serving noise merchant Robert Hampson brings his Main project to Editions Mego for the first time, making a beeline for ambient industrial textures sculpted with oppressive found sound content. There's a predilection towards dynamic swells of static on this long player, with at least three of the four studies reaching for protracted buzzing and drawn out scraping over anything snappy enough to discern as an audible shape. The fourth piece however explores a richer palette of sound, with the drones of instruments nestled in amongst varying layers of insect interference. It's an immersive sound world that sports a refined design indicative of the experience Hampson has in this field.

Review: The buzz building around Mandy, Indiana is building into something of a cacophony right now, but for once the hype is entirely justified. Off the back of their incendiary live shows, the industrial-noise rock-techno fusionists deliver an album that widens the scope of their sound and constantly throws exciting possibilities our way. Fronted by wild-eyed French vocalist Valentine Caulfield, the outfit throw down technoid slammers in the vein of Giant Swan, skewed synth-pop from the netherworld, squalling metal and some surprisingly atmospheric pieces. Much more than a tack-on to their live shows, I've Seen A Way suggests a band spreading their wings for a debut album that creates even greater possibilities for the future.

Review: In recent times, Tadd Mullinix seems to have focused mostly on his long-running JTC project. Here, he dons his industrial/electro/new wave/EBM alias Charles Manier, a handle last used for a superb album on Nation back in 2013. American Manier explores similar territory to that set, with Mullinix focusing on sharp analogue rhythms, macabre textures, stylish synthesizer parts and unsettling, end-of-days vocals. It's an intoxicating brew that guarantees a string of highlights, from the ghostly, nightmarish beat science of "Deatomized" and bustling EBM throb-job "Sift Through Art Collecting People", to the brutal, Dexter-style Rotterdam electro of "Unsubscribe".

Review: Excellent self titled album of material from the man Charles Manier on the Nation label which has finally surfaced after word of its release first appeared on distribution lists last year. You will probably know the name Charles Manier from the excellent Bang Bang Lover 12" issued by Ghostly back in 2002 and this album draws from an archive of material recorded around the same period at Ballard and Ridgewood-Cantullinix Studios in Ypsilanti, Michigan. Heavily influenced by the primitive sonics of Liaisons Dangereuses and the short lived CH BB project that preceded them, this ten track set swings viciously between grotty EBM, experimental wave sounds and proto techno movements with the C Side hogging "Wasps" a real centrepiece. Essential sonics for those that travel the path less ordinary.

Review: Formerly known as the Subliminal Kid and creating bizarre yet wonderful productions as Roll The Dice, Peder Mannerfelt steps forward under his own name to showcase a more abstract side to his personality. Hi debut LP for the illustrious Digitalis couldn't have come at a better time and his sedative mixture of noise, ambient and dub is a joy to both the eardrums and chest plate. It feels like ritualistic music found on unexplored terrains in deep space. Our favourites include the percolating sway of the title track, "Africate Consonants" and "Nihilist 87". Mastered by our main man, Pole and served in an edition of 500. No sleeping, please...
