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!

Tango & Ratty's classic track from 1993 gets the remix treatment by DJ Producer, Vinyljunkie & Saxion, Mattycore MTC, and BStorm & Mr. Psik.

Low Res returns to the vinyl front with a 12" with the original and three remixes of Adjust's Titan. Fresh from the pressing plant!300 copies, exclusive distribution by Praxis <iframe style="border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=530230090/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=e32c14/tracklist=false/artwork=small/transparent=true/" seamless><a href="http://lowres.bandcamp.com/album/low-027-titan-remixes">LOW 027 - Titan Remixes by Adjust</a></iframe>  LOW 027 - Adjust - Titan Remixes - 12” Vinyl In 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.

Red vinyl, rhythmic industrial soundscapes with a hint of drum'n'bass.

A very varied 4-tracker by Amboss - with energetic tracks ranging from hard-as-nails hardcore drum'n'bass to razor sharp breakcore to a massive industrial dubstep and a hard techno track to round it off!  Excellent follow-up to his releases on Mindbender and Sub/Version, not to be missed!

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. Titled Jaffna pt. 1 & 2 - is the first in a row of new and forthcoming releases. Razor sharp edits and practical dancefloor sub-version at its most concrete!

Haunting strings and monster basslines underline the driving breaks and metallic rhythms found on the new Sub/Version. Hecate presents an track of deep subtleties and masterful programming on “Technical Witch”, with Etaceh on the flip side going full out into territory bordering on breakcore, but never forgetting mixability for the progressive dancefloor! A - Hecate: Technical Witch (7:46) B - Etaceh: Tech Bitch (6:46)

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)

Excellent double pack on Renegade Hardware sister label Barcode. All good tracks, especially of course the one by Evol Intent! From 2004 - one copy back in stock. Used copy in excellent condtion (VG+)

Sub/Version 008 : Vile Enginez : Overthrow/Undermine : 12" Vinyl After his debut "Constant Falling" on Zhark and a string of impressive live shows in Switzerland, Belgium and the U.K., Vile Enginez appears with 2 massive tracks of transgressive drum'n'bass-core for Sub/Version! This is the predecessor of the awesome Cycadelic/Tool on Sub/Version 013. Only a small handful of copies left, all of which are returns from a distributor. Vinyl is mint, but the sleeves are a bit battered. Hence the low price! A - Overthrow (6:21) AA - Undermine (6:50)

Original from 1999! Only one copy left which was listened to in our shop a few times, hence the lower price. Umkra on the pre-Marasm Myzé label.

Storming record from Amboss on the Akron, Ohio label No Room for Talent. Hard dnb assault with a breakcore edge. highly recommended! Orange marbled vinyl version. May have some minor crackles towards the end of the sides. Although it's a shop copy (not second hand) I would grade it as VG+

"A mind trip through devilish labyrinths of a myriad of sound constructions!" Vile Enginez, hailing for Basel, CH, produced his most innovative and complex record yet . Taking up the Sub/Version project of twisting drum n bass and smashing up whatever has become standard for the genre, Vile Enginez bizarre creation clearly demonstrates his masterful production and technical skills. “Cycadelic” might be best described as creating the feeling of a black magic trip spurned on by female power gone mad – this is a track that will push everyone on the dance floor to extremes. “Tool” works perfectly with the dynamic of “Cycadelic” making a forceful totality of this 12” (played at 33 rpm). Hard-hitting beats, crazed ambiences, distorted full powered bass and rhythmic complexities abound ! <iframe width="100%" height="450" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" allow="autoplay" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/playlists/1342981534&color=%23ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true"></iframe><div style="font-size: 10px; color: #cccccc;line-break: anywhere;word-break: normal;overflow: hidden;white-space: nowrap;text-overflow: ellipsis; font-family: Interstate,Lucida Grande,Lucida Sans Unicode,Lucida Sans,Garuda,Verdana,Tahoma,sans-serif;font-weight: 100;"><a href="https://soundcloud.com/praxisrecords" title="Praxis Records" target="_blank" style="color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;">Praxis Records</a> · <a href="https://soundcloud.com/praxisrecords/sets/vile-enginez-cycadelic-tool" title="Vile Enginez: Cycadelic/Tool" target="_blank" style="color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;">Vile Enginez: Cycadelic/Tool</a></div> A - Cycadelic (7:36) B - Tool (8:03)
