Violeer – Fairgrounds (Self-Released)

a1386681433_10

Label Description:

i began recording fairgrounds in january of 2024 in an attempt to capture the intensity of our recent string of live shows throughout central ohio…as violeer had always been a project that i had shared with my husband since its inception…

however…throughout the spring and early summer of 2024 our creative and romantic partnership slowly eroded and the release evolved into something else…a dark meditation on loss, addiction, mental illness and the quiet rage that follows when everything that was once familiar is no longer…when forever becomes finite…

recorded in columbus ohio

january through may 2024

no coast

no sea

no eloquence of hope

Rapoon – Dream Circle (In Three Phases) [Zoharum]

a1878451718_10

Label Description:

We are proud to present the unique RAPOON publication “Dream Circle” (In three Phases)”, a special edition of the British artist’s debut album, containing a total of 3 CDs: a remastered version of the debut “Dream Circle”, the sequel “Recurring (Dream Circle)” and a specially prepared version of thinking about this release, the album “Mandala”, which is an extension of the formula contained in previous releases. As in the case of the extended reissues of RAPOON (“Vernal Crossing Revisited” or “The Kirghiz Light”), the musician had a similar idea there, also here, to record new compositions, Robin Storey reached into his archive to extract the tracks and sound banks that he used during those sessions almost 30 years ago, to use them in a completely different way with their help, compose completely new, interesting and coherent musical material. “Mandala” draws listeners into a mystical journey to the Middle East with the same intensity as “Dream Circle” and “Recurring…”. The discs put together in this way close the triptych started at the very beginning of Rapoon’s activity. This unique trilogy was released in a black and gold 8-panel digipack.
In addition, an extended collector’s edition in a wooden box will also be available, containing several bonuses.

Voltage Control – Voltage Control 1990-1992 LP (Mannequin Records)

a2634997080_10

Label Description:

Inspired by Front 242, Skinny Puppy and Clock DVA, Arno and Tibor were fellow students at the Center of Electronic Music (CEM) in Arnhem, Netherlands during the mid 80’s.

After getting a record deal with the Belgian Antler Subway, and started producing their first EP, originally meant as EBM. But since they were in the middle of proceeding, they took the chance to incorporate some of those influences in their first record, ‘Force D’Inquisition’, in 1990, which became one of the earliest Dutch house records.

Track A2 is the legendary ‘Apocalypse’, which was quite a hit at the time both in the EBM and acid scene, with gentlemen like Frankie Knuckles playing it in his sets.
Arno Peeters was later part of Random XS and Urban Electro and worked solo as Spasms on Djax-Up-Beats.

Anatoly Grinberg & Andreas Davids – Inspired By A Tragedy (Ant-Zen)

a4128309195_10

Label Description:

INSPIRED BY A TRAGEDY is a collaborative album between anatoly grinberg (aka tokee) and andreas davids (mainly known from xotox). their obsession manifests as a cinematic odyssey through an enigmatic dystopian story, where silence can resound with intensity and noise can become inconsequential. the superficial weight of matter can dissolve into an intricate idm-ish loops, metamorphosing an entire composition into a meticulously crafted form. hypnotic repetition, crunchy beats and lush, expansive swells serve as the catalyst for their journey through ambient soundscapes, revealing new dimensions of auditory perception.

INSPIRED BY A TRAGEDY – the plot: a violent shudder sent the small plane plummeting towards the snow-capped mountains. the sole survivors pieced together the fractured memories of the inexplicable descent. days bled into a desperate struggle against the elements, panic a constant companion – a place where even the mountains whispered warnings. one terrifying night, an unseen force ripped through their camp. they fled in terror, leaving only a slashed tent and a chilling tableau. days later, rescuers found the scattered bodies, some bearing strange internal injuries, others with signs of radiation exposure. recovered journals hinted at strange lights in the sky and an oppressive sense of dread since the crash. theories swirled, but none explained the bizarre events. the incident became a haunting legend, a grim reminder of human fragility in the face of the untamed wilderness.
