Detroit techno? Also alive and well. We’ve been following Kyle Mother Fucking Hall for quite awhile so I’m not sure how this new album completely blindsided us. The debut LP from The Motor City’s brightest hope, two discs stuffed with chugging, gritty techno. $25 at shop.wildkyleoats.com or pick it up overseas at boomkat.com. Stream “Dr. Crunch” at [...]
Late breaking Tape Tuesday tip, courtesy of a retweet from Further Records. Nochexxx, sometimes known as CHXFX, drops a “27 minute bloc part mix” of majorly skewed house and funk (and yes, even a little RickRoll). Immensely enjoyable and about $10 shipped to our fair shores. Cop it at nochexxx.com. Tweet
Ever since his tape release on Further Records, we’ve been anxious to hear more from Best Available Technology. I thought this dude was fairly new to the “scene”, but judging by the title of his newest cassette, he has been around and kicking out jams ever since I was listening to MC Hammer tapes. You [...]
Metasplice drop a pretty much unannounced 2xLP of noise-afflicted, brain-grinding techno, just like that. You can order this right now at redeyerecords.co.uk or boomkat.com, but if you live in the US like me you can wait for our pal Jeremy over at experimedia.net to pick up copies. We’ve been pushing a lot of electronic records this [...]
Along with Further, Opal Tapes is our other go-to tape label at OMGV HQ. Unfortunately, these can be a little difficult to get your mitts on sometimes… everything, and I mean everything, is sold out from the label. Experimedia stocked a good portion of their recent catalog last week, and that’s all pretty much gone [...]
The debut album from this 50% mysterious duo, and the official minting of the Violet Poison imprint: this self-titled 2xLP from Violetshaped is a harsh, 40-minute grind of factory floor techno. There is a pulse, but it is a cold, electronic thing. In other words: it’s a fantastic album. Now distributed in North America at beta.forcedexposure.com. [...]
Further Records return with two brand new transmissions from The Smoke Clears (aka John Daly) and Decimus. Fact of the matter is: no other label is mining the sounds that this imprint is, certainly not in the US anyhow. Every release is worth your time, and with these two both being available on our favored [...]
A new album from The Knife. What more could you possibly ask for in 2013? If you aren’t a fan, go re-listen to Silent Shout, look in a mirror, and ask yourself “What the fuck is wrong with me?”. Pre-orders for next week’s release date are available at rabidrecordstore.com or amazon.com. Stream the entire new album [...]
I’m hitting play for the 3rd time on this stream of the new Miles album, but I can’t help but think how much better this would sound on a proper analog system. If you didn’t know, Miles is one half of techno deconstructionist crew Demdike Stare; safe to say he knows a bit about sound [...]
The new Daft Punk album, Random Access Memories, is available to pre-order on 2xLP. It’s $40, but what are you gonna do about it? Wait until it shows up somewhere cheaper? Whatever, it might. It might not. I don’t know, I didn’t invent the internet. Daft Punk may have though, for all I fucking know: myplaydirect.com. [...]
