Press Info:
After five years of existence, we are starting a new chapter with our most extensive compilation to date. Consisting of 19 tracks, ‘Never Enough’ explores a wide range of electronic soundscapes and underscores the label’s desire to bring together artists with different backgrounds under one roof.

The release opens with an experimental track from young Georgian producer Wesley Wise, passing the torch to Black Dot – a collaborative project of Christian Kroupa and Le Chocolat Noir, marking their debut on the label with “Attachments To Lust”.

Compilation sees a perfect continuation with the electro track from Karassimeon, followed by two stellar EBM cuts from Nasdrowie and fellow Ukrainians Revolt ft. Kata. The release slowly reaches its boiling point as artists Velvet May, Ruben Seoane, NZM-99, 3.14, Rommek, and Hurtado make their long-overdue appearance on the label, each delivering perfect EBM, techno, and industrial-leaning tracks for the occasion.

Worth mentioning are two new names on Murder tbs – Tiefton and Jero Clares – keeping the real techno spirit alive! And not to forget Vulkanski, Codex Empire, and Data & P.Y.M.K., making their return to the label. The release reaches its finale with one of the label’s favorite new names: Charlou, Gewaltem, and Sob Story, all delivering their euphoric gems where the sounds of electro, new beat, and Italo disco blend together in perfect sense. All tested and approved!

NZM 99

Title:
Eternality EP

VūMantra Records

VMNTR#068

Release Date:
25th October 2024

Format:

Tracks:
01.
Distopia

02.
Eternality

Press Info:
“Eternality” is an immersive musical project that explores the soundscapes of a dystopian society in decline. Through dark electronic textures, industrial percussion and unstructured melodies, the album depicts a world where illusions of progress have collapsed, giving way to a disoriented humanity. Each track is a chapter in a story where technology, isolation and resistance intertwine, inviting the listener to delve into a future that is both oppressive and strangely beautiful.

Emerging from the depths of the rave scene, NZM 99’s sound sorcery is driven by dark and acid techno, underlaid with heavy, powerful bass. His electrifying and skillful performances leave crowds spellbound. As the founder of Tjalk Records, a heartfelt tribute to the boat he resides on in Lyon, NZM 99’s numerous releases on esteemed labels like Persephonic Sirens, Khoinix, and Flesh Or Die have brought him to international stages, with recent shows in Poland, Germany, and Georgia. Inspired by legends such as Arnaud Rebotini, The Hacker, Terence Fixmer, and David Carretta, NZM 99’s passion for vintage synthesizers has been the driving force behind his artistic journey. Ever since he acquired his first analog machine as a teenager, he has continuously expanded his setup, delivering powerful live performances and mesmerizing DJ sets that blend techno with EBM tones, bewitching dancefloors.
