Press Release The Balloon EP sees French artist Julien Chastagnol return with another superb four-track journey of finely crafted breakcore which is in turns dense and brutal then delicate and spacious, insular and thoughtful then charming and playful. From the moment the mournful opening chords of 'No Smoke' are swiftly disrupted by a whirlwind of dark amen shards you know it's going to be an eventful ride. A massively present bottom-end punctuates with a combination of powerful punches and graceful glides throughout the piece offering an earthy context between the contemplation and the fury. 'Nour' brings a wistful mood to the fore, featuring an impressively dynamic composition of emotive melodies and rapid-fire drum patterns, underpinned by sub sweeps which feel immense yet never pull focus. On the more playful 'Hat and Beard', the characteristic splintered drum-work of Ruby My Dear displays a more spacious and rhythmically diverse arrangement, seemingly unafraid to fall apart entirely through spiralling effects before snapping back into focus with refreshed drive and intent. 'Peanuts on Train' sets forth on the final leg of the adventure, immediately conjuring the feel of 70s synth ambience and sound-track work. However this illusion is soon torn apart by an onslaught of insanely manic yet never abrasive drums, bass and arpeggios. As the pressure continuously mounts, neurofunk growls and hardcore/jungle-style vocal drops lend the track surprisingly mainstream dance-floor allusions, but without for one moment losing the unique emotional inertia and rhythmic immediacy of the whole EP, thus bringing the story to a close on a high and courageous note.

Press Release The first new album release in years from Memento Materia, the Swedish label that first established such classic acts as MESH, COVENANT, COLONY 5, RUN LEVEL ZERO, BACKLASH, MICHIGAN and many others! After three digital download/streaming singles ("Animals", "You Got Me" and "Big Cut") during autumn 2015, Swedish synth pop act Sadman are here with their third album "The Big Cut". After lots of problems with a French label, the work and production of the third album has been with huge delays. Finally finished, expect nothing less than a real masterpiece! Lasse Fernstrom and Mattias Raftegard deliver smart melodies and modern soundscapes in the slower passages of pieces as "Saved" and "Fragile", but also more uptempo songs with decadent baselines and catchy tunes. This is as electronic pop should sound as of today and has brought Sadman their trademark of quality in the Swedish electronic pop scene. They have a very fresh and up to date emotional sound with details in harmony and vocals backed up with dreamy choir and female vocals.

Press Release This December, Syd.31 return with their blistering sophomore EP Drowning in Air. Playing extensively throughout the UK and engaging with their growing fanbase since the release of Start a War in 2014, the band have been inspired by many fans who spoke of their experiences, difficulties and frustrations with the political systems that rule us.

The emotive and powerful vocals for Drowning in Air were recorded by Dr Magic thousands of feet above sea level in the oxygen-sparse mountainsides of Tenerife. Not able to breathe properly during takes, he was literally Drowning in Air. With production by JD Tucker of GRENDEL, mastering by the legendary X-FUSION studios and featuring guest appearances from Paresis, Kommand+Kontrol, Pam Van Damned and Beinaheleidenschaftsgegenstand, Drowning in Air captures and reflects a new age of rage for electronic music.
