Press Release
Totally bucking the trend, in April 2015, the highly regarded FORMS OF HANDS label festival went into its 15th annual edition – making it truly one-of-a-kind! On this accompanying compilation CD, 14 chosen acts from the HANDS label roster prove in a high spirit and deliver the (exclusive) goods: From chilling, atmospheric techno sounds by SUPERSIMMETRIA or SYYLVGHEIST MAELSTRÖM to crunchy rhythm noise by YURA YURA, MASCHINENKRIEGER KR52 VS. DISRAPTOR or WIELORYB, from the hardcore attitude of ILLEGAL TRADE or 13th MONKEY to the drum’n’noise of WINTERKÄLTE, from bulky beats by TOTAKEKE and SYNTH-ETIK to the noisy groove of S.K.E.T., from the challenging experimentalism of NORM or ANCIENT METHODS to the ethnic beats of AH CAMA-SOTZ, the 14 tracks cover a range of styles – and yet blend perfectly, as does the crowd in the shaft tower, the FORMS OF HANDS home!
Same procedure – this album presents exclusive tracks by all artists appearing at FORMS OF HANDS 2015 in their actual running order: SUPERSIMMETRIA delivers a nice technoid encore to his recent space-themed album. NORM (the MONO NO AWARE side-project) has been in the long grass for a while, the comeback track “Banerje” mixes ethnic samples and grating loops. WIELORYB are in a particularly old school mood, and TOTAKEKE gives us more IDM with balls (like on his recent album “Me.Tem.Psy.Cho.Sis”).
MASCHINENKRIEGER KR52 VS. DISRAPTOR get straight to the point with 140bpm rhythm noise and Berghain darling ANCIENT METHODS’ track is gloriously psyched out and impossible to describe. Winterkälte follow their recent development of infusing their drum’n’noise with a subtle groove, and YURA YURA’s „Jägerinnen“ is a sure shot fort he rhythm noise dance floor. SYYLVGHEIST MAELSTRÖM delivers one of his intensely rhythmic pieces and ILLEGAL TRADE give us a refill of their industrial hardcore crossbreed sound. 13th MONKEY drop bouncing beats and acid lines,...

Press Release
14 years of FORMS OF HANDS - for the festival crowd the event itself is always occasion enough to create two nights of musical enthusiasm and amicable celebration. With no less than half of the 14 acts being debutants on the FOH stage, this collection of all exclusive tracks is as essential as ever: From the rhythm’n’noise acts like MONO NO AWARE or CACOPHONEUSES to the more technoid approaches of MONOLITH or CERVELLO ELETTRONICO to the edges of the HANDS sound spectrum with TATLUM or HYDRONE, this is a choice selection of the most upscale quality. FOH 14: Two nights of shaft tower shaking, which will leave many with ringing ears, happy memories – and bequeath the world this collection. Seven acts appear at FOH for the first time and represent the extraordinary musical range of HANDS with refills from their current (or recent) albums: From the grim crossbreed of TATLUM – from Russia with hate – over the archaic ambient sound of HYDRONE, from the physical rhythmic noise of the fetching CACOPHONEUSES to the crusty sound of HEZZEL, from the industrial-infused techno of CERVELLO ELETTRONICO to the ear-splitting digital hardcore mayhem of AMBASSADOR21 and the fuzzy dub techno of MONOLITH a wonderful combination of established acts and promising newcomers! PROYECTO MIRAGE also contribute a second helping to their recent album, a nice piece of steam techno, while the sophomore attendees settle for novelty tracks: LIBIDO FORMANDI add some gritty rhythm punch to their electronica sound and LAST DAYS OF S.E.X. corsets stiff industrial beats into a house structure (rather than a technoid one) – even noise can groove! The SATURMZLIDE track is a tongue-in-cheek electro tune with a frivolous Kraftwerk reference, guaranteed to wake the dead, even. Last but not least, regard the veteran performers: MONO NO AWARE doesn’t stray from his intransigent harshness and NEEDLE SHARING pleases with a captivating mixture of...

Various Artists - Forms of Hands 12 / Limited Edition (CD)

Press Release
2012 sees the 12th edition of the Forms Of Hands label showcase, now moving to its fourth location over the years, and it is traditionally accompanied by the compilation CD featuring all 12 performing artists in their festival running order.
Same procedure as every year: All tracks are exclusive, thus this compilation may serve as an introductory peek into the HANDS universe as well as it is a must-have for the label aficionados. So what’s in this year’s edition of the HANDS encyclopaedia?
The CD starts with two festival newcomers: SATURMZLIDE, who sets the mood with an uptempo rhythm track with a nice technoid vibe, and <1979> with a classically repetitive Rhythm’n’Noise track (which is the original version of the tune you find remixed by Daniel Myer on their current album). SYNTECH present their own brand of percussive tribal noise. 13th MONKEY speed it up further with a fiercely banging piece of Industrial Acid Techno, and S.K.E.T. call to “Reform Europe” via ostentatious sounds and stumbling beats. MONO NO AWARE does his noise turmoil over teutonic beats and brings day one to an end.
The second half of the album starts with two more festival newcomer: First up SYLVGHEIST MAËLSTRÖM delivering a nice encore to their captivating debut full of unsettling electronica and catchy beats, and DIRTY K, who really have the knack of self-explanatory titles and give us a “Stomping Maschine”. NULLGRAD offers a basic channel influenced techno track and 16PAD NOISE TERRORIST contribute a fierce piece of dark Techstep. MS GENTUR lets you have a painfully noisy “Contraction”, and NEEDLE SHARING prove again they’re back for good with the “Rave Monger” – if you can keep your limbs still to this you’re positively dead (or deaf)!
So, another year, another selection shedding light on the activities of roughly ¼ of the HANDS label roster, a dozen artists affiliated by attitude, yet discrete in style, and isn’t that exactly the special value of a compilation album?
