In the search of new techno producers and sounds we are? Check out what we have found, about fenomenon called DARKON SYSTEMATIC.
Darkon Systemic (Lucien (Luke) London-Wainwright) Born in North Wales, His love for music began in his early teens. Artist / djs such as Luke Mc Millan , Prodigy Apex twin and many underground and European djs influenced his addiction with electronic music. From 17 he had a growing desire to go to techno parties which soon turned from dancing to mixing.

The addiction then progressed from performing to producing music which started with hardware and programs such as Steinberg Cuebase and propellerheads rebirth .Then onwards to Ableton Live ,Fruity loops, Sonar, Acid, to name but a few.
With bookings through out the uk and overseas taking off from as early as 2003. 2008 saw the start of systemic records through to 2011 which will be seeing the release of the digital side of systemic records and new digital label criminal warfare...

To date Darkon Systemic continues to earn respect in the world techno scene as a much loved new breed performer and producer bringing fresh new take to the table through many types of techno from hard techno / schranz to down beat groove. This is a basic info you can get on their Soundcloud page.

Right now we are making a intherviev with them, as you know TECHNODROMAS party is coming, so District F. office is overfilled with good techno.

Take some time to find some time, for time to read part # 2 of this article, soon.

Jeff Mills: 2087



Axis, 2011

Jeff Mills’ latest album this especially productive year is inspired by the obscure 1966 sci-fi flick Cyborg 2087. The plot is suspiciously similar to Terminator—a cyborg travels from the future to the present to assassinate a mathematician whose discoveries will enable a dystopian society repressed via mind control.

Despite Mills’ statement of intent, the music is similar to his other recent work. His distinctive palette of pure, analogue tones is always pleasant to hear, though it sometimes seems lacking in range.

“The Secret” is an ominous, drawn-out crescendo of skittery synthesizer chords. At first I thought “Human Condensing” was going to play around with phasing a la Steve Reich, but after a few tantalizing variations it falls into a simple loop for its final minute. “Programmed to Kill” makes use of primitive computer sounds. With its heavy Purpose Maker kick drum, it could even work on a dancefloor.

My favorite tracks are the most melodic. “Free Thinkers (The Dream),” for example, is beat-less and beautiful. On other tracks, only certain parts stand out. “Search for Sigmund Marx” is enjoyable for its bassline alone. The synth line on “Tracer 1” is instantly catchy, but by the time beats break apart at the end it has outlived its welcome.

By the album’s midpoint, the tracks tend to blend together. “Homing Device” uses such familiar Mills sounds, it falls into the background. With concentration, the percussion on “Operation to Free Garth” is quite distinctive, but the loop over top is a descent into madness. “Running Through Time” has hypnotic reverberation, but the overall effect is surprisingly emotionless for such an evocative title. “Dreams of Dreams,” on the other hand, perfectly captures the sensation of being half awake, and its sound is Detroit through and through. The bells on “Consequences” are perfectly shaped as only Mills can do.

Mills evidently approached this project with complete seriousness, but I think the album would benefit from a touch of camp. It’s hard to look back at sixties space fashion without cracking a smile. That said, Mills successfully builds a fantasy world with few Earthly ties. Next month he tackles Fantastic Voyage.

Chasing Voices, Ex Nihilo Nihil Fit

 

Last year, Brooklyn’s Chasing Voices emerged as one of those anonymous projects, replete with spooked-out artwork, limited pressings, and a shadowy demeanor that bled deeply into the music itself. Because of this esoteric approach, the project’s unforgettable debut Acidbathory took its time creeping up, and by the time it had infiltrated the public consciousness, the project had already released its second transmission, Ex Nihilo Nihil Fit. The latter title (“nothing comes from nothing”) offers a disclaimer for those put off by the cloaked approach: though it may have appeared from “nothingness,” this music is the highly calculated product of an exceptional vision.

That vision, however, remains fairly mysterious. “Ex Nhilio Nihil Fit” begins with an accented man declaring, “We’re not gonna avoid complexity… we all accept that it’s not clear,” which seems as much a mission statement for the project as a signal for the jacking intensity about to ensue on the track. One of the most pronounced facets of Chasing Voices is a real concern for sound design: the highs are extremely crisp, and the persistently jagged synth stabs, which recall so much mid-90’s techno, seem pushed to their absolute limit, underscoring the track with a violent hum. In this, it recalls the nihilistic electronics of No Fun or Hospital Productions as much as it does the throwback sounds and sputtering percussion of a producer like Redshape. In the end, it’s a reconstruction of old tropes rather than a rehash of them, trading all of rave techno’s hedonism for the disquieting miasma of the machines that created it, now reduced to their most rugged essence. 

Zeta Reticula – EP 2 (A1)

 

When DJ UMEK released released the Zeta Reticula EPs on Electrix Records back in 2000 they marked a sea change in where techno was going for many people, the whole series was received with almost universal acclaim and those who made many of the tracks of these heavily electro tinged EPs part of their set read like a who’s who list of techno superstar DJs. In the early naughties you could hear tracks from the Zeta Reticula Eps being played at everything from edgier more experimental house nights right through to freetekno acid raves out in the European countryside.

One of the most outstanding and recognisable tracks on the EPs was the untitled track A1 from EP2. An absolute classic in terms of its production, its structure and its influence on the techno scene at the time. It has a great mix of pounding but still subtle and evolving beats, a strong driving synthesiser line that pushes the track forward dragging the listener inexorably along with it and an interesting use of a minimalistic orchestral track that keeps the ears enjoying the track while never straying into pretentiousness. This track is still capable of making even jaded music fans ears prick up and go “Who the fuck is this? I want this track!”.

News from Russia

Next free release on Russian Techno comes from St. Petersburg’s veterans P.C.P. (which stands for Perforated Cerebral Party). They started somewhere in 1996, producing not only techno, but also experimental trip-hop and IDM stuff. The band became very well-known and long-playing one in Russian underground musical subculture and even abroad in late 90′s. P.C.P. consists of 2 persons now – VovaPCP (who is also responsible for FL^T Club in SpB) and DJane Tsaritsa Logiki (which means «the Queen of Logic» in Russian). In 2011 they will celebrate thier 15th anniversary on acid. Ok with the history, back to the music now… The release consists of 5 tracks, carefully selected from their really huge creative archive, and remastered. The style is classic techno, neither hard, nor minimal, just as we like. The common line here is that most of the tracks have squeaking bright percussive sounds, interesting and unpredictable breakdowns, and they are just smartly built in general. Which means that this release will be definitely noticeable on a dancefloor, or at a private dopey party. For sure! Enjoy

1. Perforated Cerebral Party – E.P.T. [7:00]
2. Perforated Cerebral Party – Fight [5:48]
3. Perforated Cerebral Party – Mystery Train [6:13]
4. Perforated Cerebral Party – Funny D’Bils [5:10]
5. Perforated Cerebral Party – Stupid Tigr [5:00]

MS10 - 430 West Records


Sometimes things get complicated and a groove becomes a symphony. But sometimes, all we need is the groove. Venturing back to how it all started, Octave One begins a new chapter, 20 years after their introduction to the electronic music world. Connecting to their origins on Derrick May's legendary label, O1 pays homage to their Transmat catalog number with the launch of a new limited series and label, MS10. Returning to basics, MS10 brings the Burden brothers home to how they started it all, minus the hype and "back to the essence of the groove". This special series begins March 2010 via 12” Vinyl and digital download.
