LabRot – Cloud Chaser

Cloud Chaser by LabRot offers a bright perspective on – well what is this actually? Hmm, the release feeds on several styles such as techno, hardcore and industrial, but that’s apparently not all. It’s hard to find words for it, but it’s something else. Something partially truly broken und unheard before. In addition, the trippy sound design is never afraid to overthrow everything and to start anew. This makes the release an intriguing experiment without any foreseeable result.

The Silence – The Silence of the Perfect Dark

Well, the waiting is finally over! Even though the world is shattered to pieces, there are some things that help you deal with all the bullshit. And this album is definitely one of the silver linings on the horizon. After a slight delay, the Silence present their first full-length album. Words like mind-blowing couldn’t even describe what the album achieved. This is hardcore at it’s peak. It has everything, features old and new, and manages to be innovative at all points. The sound design is just brilliant. Distortion never sounded any better. This clarity and production value is outstanding. Apart […]

Low Entropy – AI generated Hardcore and Techno (or how to speak to a machine)

As probably everyone of us is now familiar with the disruptive power of AI technology, we entered a new stage of technical evolution. And this of course does not only concern visual arts (and everything else). Equally, you can now create music with the help of AI and even though the results vary a lot regarding quality, this has come a long way and will evolve much further in the upcoming years. So anyway, a few days ago we had an email from Low Entropy in our inbox. And while we are still wondering what AI can do when it […]

Tripped – A Thing About Something

After his first album “Unboxed” on PRSPCT last year, Tripped came up with another full length release just recently. Even though the first release was very impressive, the second one lifts this bouncy in-your-face Hardcore style that Tripped is famous for on a new level. It’s great to see that his style develops continuously, but you can still recognize his signature sound. The album features 10 tracks, including a pretty noisy intro with a savory kick drum filter extravaganza. As this sets the tone for the rest of the album, the tracks on it cover a bright palette and include […]

G.xist – Anatoly

Only few releases have the class to cast a spell over you. But luckily, there exist some breathtaking exceptions. Even though the name G.xist didn’t ring a bell or anything so far, the artist managed to produce an atmospheric trip into the unknown. With six utterly different tracks, G.xist pushed the boundaries of sonic exploration. The rhythms do not sound too alien, but still run differently than most electronic music. It therefore also questions your listening habits. But again, it’s not too far away, from what you maybe already appreciate. It’s absolutely worth checking out, especially on a rainy afternoon. […]

Hidden Rooms’ “Passion Doesn’t Pay Mix P12” by the Relic

The Relic’s mix for Hidden Room nearly 4-hour journey into madness. The track selection is on point and the mixing is tight. The overall theme is dark and it’s packed with acid lines. In general the mix meanders between hard techno and rock solid hardcore. The Relic · Hidden Rooms' "Passion Doesn't Pay Mix P12" 01. Kontain – The Cold Face02. The Maxx – Cocaine (Umwelt Remix)03. 10 CLS – Screen 904. Restive Plaggona – Never Recovered05. I Murdered – Skin Jacket06. Ronove – Anarkhos07. AK-Industry – Dead Bird08. MRD – Lights09.

Maelstrom & Louisahhh – Sustained Resistance

It’s rare that you come across some music and think: “Wow, that’s really something else!” of course “Sustained Resistance” by Maelstrom & Louisahhh is not entirely new music, but the way this duo combines different strains of music and weaves them together into a seminal piece of art (well, it’d dare to call it that way) is simply amazing. The tracks themselves are emotionally charged amalgamations of hard electronic music. You find traces of so many different genres here – luckily, only the good ones. No seriously, it’s absolutely worth listening, especially for those of you who are looking for […]

10 CLS – RUN

The new or more precisely first album by 10 CLS has been around for quite some time already, but there are tons of reasons to shine light on this outstanding release. The mastermind behind 10 CLS is also known to the broader public as Ophidian. And this alone should ring a bell. He is one of the most impressive electronic producers of all time and moreover always interested in creating more and more projects, diving deep and deeper into musical realms that take you farther and farther away from your genre specific comfort zone. But enough about the artist, what […]

Ghost in the Machine @ Rotterdam Rave, 21 – 12 – 18, Maassilo, Rotterdam

I think we don’t promote enough techno here. But from time to time, you deserve a fine selection of neat techno sets. Especially then when they are so close to hardcore as this monster here! Actually I don’t know if this set would be considered to be techno. I’m not familiar enough with the genre boundaries to define what is and what’s not.

The Outside Agency @ Core In One (Outcast Special)

Can the Outside Agency screw it up? I guess not. Obviously they didn’t! So enjoy an atmospheric 2 hour journey through the landscaps of techno, hardcore, crossbreed and faster core realted stuff.

[KRTM] – Consumer (The Worst of KRTM)

It’s already a few months out there but still worth listening. The latest Album by KRTM on the infamous PRSPCT label is an outstanding piece of art. This is the epitome of hard Techno, in my personal opinion. KRTM succeeds in bringing eeriness and flow together like no other. From slow to a little bit faster and from straight to broken. However, if you bought tracks by KRTM so far you might have some of the tracks from the album already in your discography, since some were previously released on Madback Records. But if you didn’t there’s no excuse to […]

Motormouth Podcast 028 – [KRTM] – Joey Beltram’s Bouncing Castle

Something different this time. Maybe it’s time to expand your musical horizon. The mix starts a little slower with some dark techno but develops into disgusting stuff 🙂 Btw. some may like the Adam X album (the first track of the set is taken from that album). It is pretty impressive in my eyes and so far the only techno album/record I ever bought… just as a little recommendation from my side.   Tracklist: 1. Adam X – Catenary [Sonic Groove] 2. Blawan – Getting Me Down (Blawan Self-Released] 3. DJ Hesburger – Roll Up Your Sleeves, Welcome to the Dance [Turbo] 4. […]
