Noize Creator is back in 2025 with a long awaited sequel to his massive The Future is Cancelled release from 2013 on a brand new sublabel from his Suburban Trash Industries in collaboration with Praxis and distributed exclusively by STI and Praxis! Four tracks of sharp and focussed breakcore! IN STOCK NOW!

In stock now: Classic 16-17 studio album produced by Kevin Martin in 1994 for first time on vinyl !  Gyatso originally appeared on Kevin Martin's Pathological label in 1994 as a CD and was rereleased, again on CD, in 2008 by Savageland.  Praxis, in collaboration with Skin & Speech proudly presents the first vinyl edition of this classic album. The vinyl edition contains 6 tracks and includes the download for the full 13 track album.  16-17 started in 1983 in Basel, Switzerland. They released a number of cassettes, before debuting with their self titled and self released album in 1987. Two years later this was followed up by When All Else Fails, an LP of treated live recordings on Vision, the precursor label to Praxis. By this time 16-17 had already garnered a cult following with their incredibly forceful live performances. Gyatso is a crucial release where the raw power of 16-17’s live appearances clashes with a studio-as-instrument approach, as Kevin Martin and Alex Buess add effects and dub techniques to the band’s recordings. Further collaborations between Martin and Buess include the ICE project which also included Justin Broadrick aka J.K.Flesh of Godflesh, the other half of Techno Animal, as well as Human Distortion, released on Digital Hardcore Recordings in 1998. Buess also took part of the Sprawl project with Peter Brötzmann, William Parker, Michael Wertmüller and Stephan Wittwer which appeared on Trost Records in 1997. This vinyl release of Gyatso comes hot on the heels of two important records that came out in 2020: The album Phantom Limb on Trost, based on band recordings from 1995 and finished in the studio in 2019 by Alex Buess, and most recently the 12” The Pandemic Wargames Remixes on Praxis. The latter was a continuation of collaborations dating back to the pre-Praxis days of the Vision label, continuing with the 1999 release of Mechanophobia on Praxis as well as the more recent Vacuum Theory by Cortex and “Skin Craft” by Alex Buess and Daniel Buess.   Praxis is very happy to present this release in collaboration with Skin & Speech, for the first time on vinyl and download!

Sub/Version is the sister label to Praxis dedicated to hard and dark drum’n’bass, epic breakcore and bass exploration. Sub/Version was mainly active on the vinyl front between 1997 and 2009 with a range of releases by founders Pure and Fringeli as well as Amboss, Crisis Theory, DJ Hidden, DJ Scud, Hecate/Etaceh, Kovert, and Vile Enginez, and also included remixes by Panacea and Fennesz.2010 and 2011 saw a digital series of 10 one-track releases with smashing works by Amboss, Christoph Fringeli, Egon Frinz, Grr, Kovert, Noize Creator, Somatic Responses and Vile Enginez (all still available via bandcamp).In the following years the Sub/Version project was put on the back burner, but it’s not over: With Sub/Version 012 we take a look at the beginnings of the label, re-releasing the first two installments of the series: Dark Star, which appeared as a one-sided 12” in 1997 and (the A-side of) Anti-Christ, which appeared the following year. The original B-Side of Anti-Christ, A.C., is available as a bonus download track.Both tracks were written and produced by Christoph Fringeli and Peter Votava, aka DJ Pure, in Vienna at Pure’s studio. They represent a turning point in the mutation of hardcore and breakcore clashing with the then emerging techstep sound and contain various references effectively creating something like industrial drum’n’bass, while going beyond either genre’s limitations. With the limited vinyl release of Sub/Version 012 we present them in 2021 as key examples of an incredibly rough and intense sound in all its unpolished glory!

Brand new album by Dan Hekate as The Wirebug on Praxis. 6 tracks on vinyl and 11 tracks on digital, plus 3 remixes and an audio-visual set! (Vinyl includes download codes!)Factory Food is the first album from the Wirebug aka Dan Hekate for over a decade. Now a feature film director Dan has brought all his expertise in sound design to bear on this full-length album of industrial beats, soundscapes and noise. Intertwining broken rhythms with melancholic melodies, harsh analogue percussion with acoustic instruments, this is a series of tracks that asks the listener to engage or retreat. Factory Food is the first album from the Wirebug aka Dan Hekate for over a decade.

Intertwining broken rhythms with melancholic melodies, harsh analogue percussion with acoustic instruments, this is a series of tracks that asks the listener to engage or retreat.Including collaborations with Praxis founder Christoph Fringeli, instrumentalists Enrico Gontero on the accordion and Steph Voodoos on acoustic guitar this is a listening experience in of itself. It includes tracks that you would drop to packed breakore dancefloor as well as those that would feel more at home in a noise concert but all the same it is cohesive and true to it’s own nature – a cold, minimal, mechanical beast rumbling across the landscape of our digital age.

A momentous, heavy, noisy and radical release by former 16-17 members Alex and Daniel Buess. This is the first release by their Cortex project which has been going on since 1999. More recently they contributed 'Skin Craft' - RIND & NOL (Praxis 55) to the Praxis label catalogue.A - The Machinic Phylum 7:37 B1 - Usu 3:11B2 - Mutabor 5:10

Bulkrate presents his vinyl debut after some download releases on Dark Winter and Zhark International. Dark and haunting ambience and breaks on five tracks. All copies come with a download code.

LAST COPIES!!Scud & Nomex: Maschinenbau EPMaschinenbau was a label run by DJ Scud from Ambush and Nomex from Adverse which released only two 7”s in 1997/98. The first, Eurostar/Piling Machine, was limited to just 300 copies. It combined psychogeographical exploration and field recordings with Amiga-produced non-conformist breakcore and noise-abuse, while the second one, Total Destruction, became a classic of breakcore / noise crossover with several appearances on compilations such as Collision Course on PIAS (compiled by Kevin Martin, aka The Bug), but nevertheless fell into relative obscurity - like most of the great early breakcore - during the following decade.Twenty years after the original 7”s, Praxis is proudly releasing a 12” with all four original tracks at the end of September 2018 with the catalogue number Praxis 56.

Limited re-press - OUT NOW!. 50 copies are available for general distribution, the other 50 are reserved for the Praxis online shop and bandcamp.Originally released in 1999 in an edition of 500 copies on transparent white vinyl as Praxis 33, Trocante Gramofony E.P. by Nomex is re-pressed in a limited edition of 100 copies on black vinyl from the original plates.Trocante Gramofony opens with the monumental ‘Fire Is The Centre’, followed by two other Nomex masterpieces, ‘Life Destroy’ and ‘No-Step 2000’, as well as three speaker-destroying fragments and locked grooves.It was a departure from Nomex’s releases on his own Adverse label and was naturally quite different from the DJ Scud collaborations on Maschinenbau. In relation to his other solo work, Trocante Gramofony is perhaps less conceptual and more composed.‘Fire Is The Centre’ features vocal snippets recorded at a Dead By Dawn party sometime between 1994-1996. Some of these snippets had been used on the Dead By Dawn record by Shitness & The Jackal, but here they were embedded in a surging wall of noise spread over the first side of the record, complete with crackles, shrieks and ever mounting intensity.The second side opens with ‘Life Destroy’ an intense collage of voice, noise and music and ends with ‘No-Step 2000’.Tracks don’t end in orderly fashion, instead the needle jumps out of the groove or is locked in a loop. The flow gets interrupted in the middle of the side of the record. These elements are again vinyl specific and can’t easily be transported to the digital realm, and this is one reason we decided to make this brilliant record available again in its ideal format, the vinyl 12”.

Darkmatter Soundsystem frequents their third visit to vinyl (DM12003) this time around with the Southern California native Poxxe. The 12" kicks off with a screaming dubstep floorkiller titled "The Malfunction" sure to incite soundsystems and crowds. Next up is the rattling tear out breakcore track titled "Funky Lizard" with Minion on the collab. On the flip side, the two tracks "Yellular" & "Plastic Hip" explore the more sparse rhythms and tones of Poxxe's sound. A strong follow up to the label's previous release (DM12001) "Minion - Bored In The U.S.A. EP."A1 - Poxxe – The Malfunction A2 - Poxxe w/ Minion – Funky Lizard B1 - Poxxe - Yellular B2 - Poxxe – Plastic Hip

The fourth vinyl release on Darkmatter, the label of the LA based sound system, brings together some of their key producers: Minion, Poxxe, Fiend, Resurrector plus scratch samples from Baseck. A download code is included which will get you two extra tracks from WMX and Wet Mango.

A small handful of copies back in stock - LAST COPIES!Original label info from 2002, when this excellent record was first released: Hailing from Hamburg, Low Entropy is one of the most exciting young producers of phuturistic breaks and hardcore. A riot of noise and beats in shimmering clear production, Anarcho-Psychotic is aptly named, but nevertheless also features moments of tranquility.Very last copies - perfect opportunity to pick up a mint copy directly from the label!a1 - The Truth (4:55)a2 - The Agony Of Everyday Life (5:13)b1 - Symphony Of Creative Destruction (7:23)b2 - Mental Cleansing (2:45)

Excellent slamming d'n'b track on the A side, with 2 retro 'ardkore workouts on the flip. The Leyton Breakers were DJ Controlled Weirdness and Blackmassplastics! We still have some stocks of this classic 12" from 2002. A - The Leyton Breakers: I Drink Your Blood (6:46) B1 - DJ Controlled Weirdness: 5 Pounds To Get In (5:33) B2 - Black Mass Plastics: Generation Mentasm (5:30)

Original Label info:As 2010 draws to a close, Low Res Records makes one last shot at the buzzer with a veritable milestone of mayhem, the 23rd enigma in the shape of a new and long overdue DJ Adjust record.‘Release The Sharks’ is a four tracker of abusive speaker therapy constructed in the spirit of recreational headbanging most would call haptic technology for heshers.Possessing the demonstrative power of potential that pokes at the ear pupils, the new Adjust record is a leaning tower of rhythm inconsequentials that cast a dark shadow over the deliberate composition of controlled chaos. A study in pure acceleration from the opening track ‘Eveready/9-Lives’ and it’s nod to Frances Tipton Hunter and his black cat, to the track ‘Deux’ which draws subtle influence from early Fischkopf releases taking cues from industrial appliance rhythms that swell into monstrous episodes of hi-fidelity gate crashing. Distorted electronic kick drums translate into rarified air violence and simultaneously unleash the Kraken bass blasts. Zeus and his harem of honeys would be proud. A true modern Midwest exercise in reticent aggression. Varying tempos of grindfunk sonically spread over four tracks of fortified ass-kick. This ispopular music for the future prolific and stratopunk pioneers of tomorrow… delivered today.A1 - Eveready/9-Lives 4:35 A2 - Deux 4:46 B1 - Laserdrive 5:42 B2 - Return To Detroit 4:40

Low Res returns to the vinyl front with a 12" with the original and three remixes of Adjust's Titan.300 copies, exclusive distribution by PraxisLOW 027 - Adjust - Titan Remixes - 12” VinylIn an era where paltry software remixes are a thinly veiled attempt to retread played material as a weak appeal to launch unknown producers, or worse, a desperate plea for social followers in a bootleg capacity, it seems the critical art of the remix project is a dead and rotting half-eaten corpse on the tracks of electronic music’s underground railways.Enter, the Titan. Only on Low Res Records.An original track by Adjust, featuring remixes from Meander, Detroit Gore Police and Tarmvred. Each producer armed with the pedigree and capability to strip you of your fingerprints and leave nothing for dental records to trace, all with the single push of a space bar.As your speakers begin to spew a straight up sonic seance surely to suture your future wide shut, the darkness grows colder with each revolution of the record and the needle digs deeper into your vinyl skin within. Each groove that passes, you have no choice but to submit to pure mechanical breakdown and are forced to peel your skin back and expose your very essence to the frequencies that begin to deconstruct your pithy soul. This is a total scrotal recall of Schwarzeneggerian proportions.Leading with the Meander remix, you the listener are instantly punched in the throat and the perineum with both of Mike Tyson’s robotic iron fists at the same time. Pain, ecstasy, bewilderment and the thrill of the kill in one gigantic money shot. Little hope is left, writhing helplessly on the ground, as you stare up from the floor starstruck with delicious agony. The blood in your mouth tastes like nectar, your eardrums swollen with fear. With the value of the remix steady on the decline, this remix is measured not only in decibels, but in body counts for the coroner.Then the Detroit Gore Police remix backs up the dump truck and drops seismic kicks and concrete bricks that grind your bones into a gelatin mâché that gets funneled into whats left of your ears, force fed by bass lines that make your eyes pop like condoms filled with phosphorescent urine from the gods, punished and pummeled, weak and forgotten, you prepare to leave the world like you entered, naked and afraid…But before you can wither away to dust and resign from your mortal coil, the Tarmvred remix howls across the sand under the moonlight sky and circles your perimortem crawl towards death, slowly splitting your black oak, spreading your gates and turning your kingdom of suffering into a final frozen tomb of eternal sleep. A crushing whirlwind of creeping metallic devastation that pierces your innervision. No one on this planet does, like Tarmvred does.Finally, seemingly as an act of moderated mercy, the original version of Titan by Adjust is capped off as the coup de grâce to abuse and confuse the polymatic construct of acetatic compounds found in pounds of sounds. You muster to escape by seppuku, but are only drawn to block high decibel punches in bunches with your face while your orbitals are destroyed by audibles of psychotic southside chicago acid jungle nightmares that your diminishing soul lacks in capability and composition to escape from. You never stood a chance. It’s over. The needle runs out the groove and darkness falls into a static silence as amplified paper scrapes close out your existence… you are lost and alone, on Titan.

The most relentless Sub/Version release so far! Two mighty tracks combining a wall of sound with rave hyper-energy. Side A "Kompressorwahn" kicks off with stepping tension-oriented rave-esque melodies quickly culminating in the most extreme pounding beats that throttle your nerves and whip the dancefloor into a frenzy with no end in sight. Amboss keeps up the pressure with the side B track titled "Avenida Paulista" in which hard industrial effects, intense frequencies and relentless beats are pushed to the limit. Deemed to be "too hard" for some, Sub/Version 014 by Amboss demolishes all other drum and bass tracks around thus demonstrating the possibilities for further explorations in hybrid extreme sounds. <iframe style="border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=2098162745/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=e32c14/tracklist=false/artwork=small/transparent=true/" seamless><a href="http://praxisrecords.bandcamp.com/album/kompressorwahn-avenida-paulista-sub-version-014">Kompressorwahn/Avenida Paulista (Sub/Version 014) by Amboss</a></iframe>

Building a reputation of sinister beat slicing and dense, magickally charged atmospheres for years with EPs on labels like Low-Res, Zhark and Addict – Abelcain brings forth his first full length from a darkened laboratory hidden deep inside a Transylvanian Castle. Creatures of the night awake under a bloodied moon. Crimson terrors cut through the flesh, leaving a wake of monstrosities in their path. Join the legion of fiends in their insurrection of darkened lusts. This album is packed full of mind blowing dancefloor tracks that will transform any party into adevilish night of godly delights.Each track is based on and inspired by a famous monster like Dracula or the Invisible Man, one for movie buffs as well as breakcore freaks, on loud double vinyl and in an astonishing packaging with red metallic foil print.Zhark International has recently raised the stakes as far as depth and production is concerned and is successfully countering the trend towards the superficial in the breakcore scene.A1 - IntroductionA2 - Curse Of DraculaA3 - Lupa LustB1 - The Crooked Shadow Of Mr. HydeB2 - Bride Of The MonsterC1 - Musca DomesticaC2 - Stratagem Of The Invisible ManD1 - Resurrection Of ImhotepD2 - House Of Fiends

Collaboration of ADC and Somatic Responses originally released in 2004. Mint copy from the label archives!Eagerly awaited this is the collaboration of two of the most important groups of innovators of hard electro(nica) : ADC from Rome and Somatic Responses from Wales. Having started around the same time – about a decade ago - their release history has been completely different: ADC's releases are few and far between, while the Somatics have been putting out several dozen records and CD's with many a classic among them. As their paths cross with this powerful record they present themselves as fresh, innovative and deep as ever.A1 - ADCSomatic: SincromathA2 - ADCSomatic: E-OperaB1 - ADCSomatic: SlowsophyB2 - ADC: MTA-100 (SR Rebuild)B3 - ADCSomatic: Thanks

Classic Sub/Version release by Kovert - Extra Low price for a short period [2025]! Last copies of this awesome release!! Sub/Version 006, after 3 years the first installment after a long break, is by UK producer Kovert who has stunned listeners with his release on Praxis (number 34) as well as Damage (12003 - Versioning) after drawing attention with his contribution to the Praxis USA compilation.
