Industrial Techno
Swarm Intelligence continues to push techno into unchartered territories with a bold new self-titled EP and label that launches in early 2022. This new EP explores emergent technology and dystopian themes. Autonomous weaponry is hinted at in the title of the first two tracks before the resultant human resilience of 'The Glory Is You,' and finally AI's awakening and gaining of sentience on 'Edge of Chaos'. Opener 'Lethality' is an intense and arresting weapon. Slamming kicks and frosty synths create a wall of impenetrable techno sound that will strike fear into any dance floor. 'Slaughterbot' is just as punishing and dark. Mangled vocals are locked in a prison of caustic synths and tortured drums as a post-apocalyptic meltdown plays out all around. There is subtle drum funk to 'The Glory Is You' that lifts you above the drama. Lithe kicks bring a sense of energy as haunting sequences, bright stabs and fizzing synths weave their way in and out of the mix. The brain-frying 'Edge of Chaos' closes down with monstrous effects, laser-like synths firing across the track and seriously weighty and distorted drums powering things along. Swarm Intelligence is the sound of an unknown techno future made brilliantly real. Originally released April 4, 2022
Swarm Intelligence’s unique take on industrial techno is back, with the second instalment on his self-titled label, coming this November. Fiercely intense, dramatic and cutting-edge, Swarm Intelligence’s distinctive take on techno has garnered him a solid following amongst the true underground of the scene. Following on from the widely supported launch of his label, SWRM002 is a striking next step – a testament to the quiet confidence of a skilled artist unafraid to eschew norms and carve his own path. This second EP continues to draw inspiration from dystopian themes of new and imagined technologies and their resulting societal impact. ‘Critical Signal’ was produced during the global pandemic, and iteratively refined over the following years. Grinding basses and tense atmospherics sit atop a thunderous four-to-the-floor. Its message to humanity is as relevant now as it was then – “you are resilient, you will prevail”. In ‘Mass Disinformation’ a visceral, bleak and unsettling sonic landscape punctuated by a slamming groove is an apt metaphor for the psychological warfare being unleashed on the world today. Opening the B-side, the uplifting glory of ‘Digital Immortality’ lifts the tone of the release. Here, Swarm’s signature...Originally released November 20, 2023

Pure has released highly diverse music with different projects for over 25 years - distorted Acid on Drop Bass Network, industrial hardcore on Praxis, heavy techno on Ophism, Experimental Electronics on Editions Mego, and dark broken beats on aufnahme+wiedergabe, to name just a few. With his latest e.p. he delivers three tracks in the classic hardcore rave style of mid 90s Things To Come Records - distorted 909, analogue rave sounds and disturbing voice samples. The release comes with two remixes - label owner The Horrorist adds one with a strong 80s New Wave vibe and Temple Traxx owner Bizz O.D. turns the heavy rave original into a distorted funky acid killer.
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

Ryuji Takeuchi – One’s Sentiment _ Press ReleaseRyuji Takeuchi provides Instruments Of Discipline with an EP of noisy, hypnotic tracks, ranging from giddy, stomping, left-field techno to melancholic ambience; the EP’s title ‘One’s Sentiment’ provides a thoughtful angle to this at times cacophonous collection, for while they are bristling with noise there is something contemplative about the pieces, expressed in a way that suggests more than one thought trying to take life at the same moment, Ryuji finds space for conflicting voices both spatially and in terms of mood, the first three tracks, ‘Ambivalence’, ‘Sadness’ & ‘Sorrow’ crawl with competing elements, synth lines drool over and meld with throbbing kick patterns, anxiety & excitement are tightly wound in focus as tracks build and develop, leaving the listener to navigate these abstract planes, intoxicated.The final track ‘Regret’ is a compelling piece of noisy, ambient minimalism that allows for an austere pause after the eruption of the initial works. It becomes evident that Ryuji’s journey as a producer, through periods of hard-techno, deep-minimalism and the more abrasive ventures on HueHelix, has created a powerful and nuanced voice that is fully on display in ‘One’s Sentiment’.Ryuji Takeuchi – Artist BioRyuji Takeuchi (Local Sound Network / LSN, HueHelix) was born in Osaka, in the late 90s, he moved to the United States where he discovered Techno, House and Electro Music, influencing his desire to produce & DJ. His first wave of releases on LK Records, Arms, Mastertraxx, FK Records, SWR, Innervate, I.CNTRL, Impact Mechanics, Silent Steps, GSR & Brood Audio to name a few, were straight-up, hard techno,In 2011, Ryuji started his own imprint, ‘Local Sound Network / LSN’, a platform for a new generation of both Japanese & global electronic music & later on, in collaboration with Tomohiko Sagae, Go Hiyama & Kazuya Kawakami, the label, ‘HueHelix / HHX’, developing further the voice of Japanese techno & experimental electronics, with a focus on distorted, industrial sounds.In 2012, Ryuji launched the ‘Local Sound Network Digital Solutions / LSNDS’ series born from a desire to both discover and introduce a wider range of electronic music to the world.Ryuji Takeuchi provides us with an EP of noisy, hypnotic tracks, ranging from giddy, stomping, left-field techno to melancholic ambience; the EP’s title ‘One’s Sentiment’ provides a thoughtful angle to this at times cacophonous collection, for while they are bristling with noise there is something contemplative about the pieces, expressed in a way that suggests more than one thought trying to take life at the same moment, Ryuji seems to find space for conflicting voices both spatially and in terms of mood, the first three tracks, ‘Ambivalence’, ‘Sadness’ & ‘Sorrow’ seem to crawl with competing elements, synth lines drool over and meld with throbbing kick patterns, anxiety & excitement are tightly wound in focus as tracks build and develop, leaving the listener to navigate these abstract planes, intoxicated; while the final track ‘Regret’ is a compelling piece of noisy, ambient minimalism that allows for a pause after the .

The Music for this release was a process of literal Catharsis, a purging of a build up of negative thoughts and emotions, but the music is also designed to be confrontational. The intent is to challenge mediocrity, to ask questions about the whole notion of techno as merely a form of debauched escapism. The music also asks questions about destructiveness and apathy. The aim is for something with meaning, as opposed to transience.

last copies!! Autonomia, first released only on CD in 1993, was mostly a solo project of Simon Crab with the aid of Christoph Fringeli of Praxis, recorded after a 2-month tour in the USA and Europe. Typically Bourbonese Qualk, this album delivers the opposite of the listeners’ expectations, breaking the mold set by the two previous albums, My Government is My Soul and Unpop. Autonomia sets out in a completely different direction of harsh electronic ‘no compromise techno’ and has become a classic in the field, making this vinyl release well overdue!
