Press Info:
After releasing his debut EP “Sex & Suicide” on the French imprint Måinmise Records earlier this year, the promising newcomer Neon Graveyard ventures further into increasingly high octane and industrial soundscapes, resulting in the appropriately titled “This mind is a warzone”, out on October 16th via WAHN.

The title track opens with the artist´s signature blend of heavily distorted, rumbling basslines and a raw, percussive drum foundation, creating an atmosphere of restless agony and euphoric misery. Fusing early Hardcore influences with contemporary Techno advancements, the piece develops both a full range of sizzling tops and a dominant low end supported by detuned synth stabs and FX shots.

Building on the original’s pace and dystopian tendencies, JELL label founder and Berlin resident Wallis showcases her distinctive brand of unrelenting Industrial Techno in her featured recut. The track kicks off with a vibrant, bass-heavy pad before launching into an array of carefully overdriven drum patterns, howling synth lines and vigilant ecstasy.

The second original track “Rave after Death” advances the harsh and sinister aura of the previous titles, consolidating unsettling choir pads, processed vocal snippets and a driving, cutthroat bassline. Offbeat rides and a vicious snare and rimshot treatment additionally emit a more 90s, old-school characteristic.

Cologne-based Techno heavyweight Rezystor concludes the EP with his ,,Raveyard Remix” of the previous inclusion. Further developing the lead bassline and adding more convoluted, acidy synth sequences, the piece intensifies the tension and subtle melancholy of the original.

The EP artwork is an homage to the film classic ,,American Psycho”. It follows the narrative of a suicidal and dementic protagonist, finding the only relief of his delusion in physical fusion. It showcases the parallels between orgiastic fusion and the idea of death (petit mort).

With the release of WAHN003 the young label increases it´s catalogue of quality publications with an unmistaken focus on the more avant-garde and subversive dancefloors in the Techno space. Follow wahn.label on social media for updates on releases, podcasts and events!

“This mind is a warzone” will be available on October 16th 2020 on Bandcamp and on every streaming platform.

Press Info:
Founded in October 2017 and known in the first place as a party series in Essen, The Third Room expands its spectrum with their debut as a label and mastering studio. “Those three disciplines go hand in hand and form our vision as a creative collective. Creating, crafting and sharing the passion that drives us.

After a bitter series of event cancellations caused by the corona pandemic we had to find a way to overcome this financial crisis which has put a lot of people in a difficult situation who are driven by love and dedication for what they do. In first place we wanted to give all ticket buyers who waived their refunds for the cancelled The Third Room x Bassiani event at UNESCO World Heritage’s Mischanlage a “thank you” gift in form as a Fundraiser Compilation. We wanted to preserve what we have built up over the years at our home base. Because we do believe that the Mischanlage is maybe the most aesthetically-techno place we’ve ever seen.

We, the founders Ahmet Sisman & VNNN., reached out to artists we have invited to our events, with whom we share a strong relationship and the same ambition for what we stand for. Not only regular guests such as Dax J, Ellen Allien or SHDW & Obscure Shape who have accompanied us over the years, but also new friendships have risen up with artists like Henning Baer, Héctor Oaks or Markus Suckut. Or collectives such as Lebendig, R-Imprint, Brutalism, Purify and Acid Wave Records. It is safe to say that we have our own special story with each artist on this compilation and it shows once more that music unites us in these hard times. If you like what you hear, buy the music, support the artists and the local scene. Everyone who has held their T3R x Bassiani Tickets will get a download link of the compilation. ” – Ahmet Sisman & VNNN.
