Press Info:
After a previous release focused on collapsing worlds, we’re back at it once again. In true Mutant Modality fashion, we dive straight into the dystopian discotheque — this time with Paris-based MUNSINGER, a DJ, producer, and live performer primarily inspired by machines and desire. With a sound mutating between old school mixtures of techno and EBM, dreamy New Beat atmospheres, and the glamorous allure of Electroclash: we are honored to welcome to the label a resident of the esteemed Forensics event series and one of the staples of the French underground club scene.

The EP draws inspiration from esoteric and underground films of the ’70s, with media detritus sampled from movie dialogues, unfolding through rolling four-on-the-floor rhythms and dreamlike, mysterious soundscapes — contrasted with analog drum patterns and industrial undertones. All original tracks were fully recorded on hardware and have been performed repeatedly by MUNSINGER in his live sets over the past few years — and have already spread havoc around Europe.

To top things off, we’re more than happy to welcome electronic veteran David Christian, aka Damascus Knives (also known for his industrial techno moniker Cervello Elettronico, affiliated with the pioneering German label HANDS), whom we encountered last summer in Brooklyn during a sweaty July night. We’re also ecstatic to showcase a remix from Carmilla Sioux, fresh off a vinyl release on her excellent platform “FROM HELL TO DISCO,” bringing Barcelona’s gritty underground sound. To close the chapter, label boss OTTOMAN GRÜW spreads his venom with a personal take combining destructive synth work and reverberated vocals coiling beneath layers of noise.

Excerpt from early an NovaMute Bio
Prone to the flights of fashion, the music industry goes through more changes than a pantomime dame. From punk to easy listening it seems major corporations have tried to embrace the latest youth phenomena with a blinkered greed and slavering pursuit of the easy buck. The explosion of dance music in the late 1980’s caused a mass A&R; exodus out of dank gig venues and into the pulsating heat of smoky clubland. In the eyes of many labels dance music equalled mucho money, yet few labels possessed the history and capability to handle and understand this new musical form which survived outside the traditional confines of the music industry.

With hindsight it seemed inevitable that Mute Records would be one of the first labels to truly expand its focus and successfully embrace the burgeoning dance culture. A true maverick that had over the years built up a strong reputation for unleashing a barrage of idiosyncratic, electronically based experimental bands, Mute provided an ideal nest from which they could develop an interest in the dance scene. After all, it was their forward thinking attitude that led to the development of a relationship with Detroit’s techno renegades Underground Resistance, resulting in the X101 project; the UK’s first exposure to UR. So in 1992 NovaMute was born with a view to capturing the spirit and sound of the harder end of the fractured electronic dance sound. A true relative of Mute Records in all senses.

With a limited budget and a new born’s caution, the initial agenda differed considerably from its current purpose of artist development. The first batch of releases, including Unity 3’s ‘Age Of Love Suite’ and an offering from Steve Bicknell’s Lost, were licensing deals aiming to provide a wider UK audience base for white label and the more obscure European acts. Constantly scouring the globe for pioneering sounds, label founders Seth Hodder and Pepe Jansz secured such deals through their love of club culture, and, in doing so, strengthened NovaMute’s reputation.

Spaaax returns to MindTrip with Eleven D, his debut solo EP on the label following his contribution to the Mutable Minds XI compilation.

Based in Moldova and resident at the Metanoia Underground series, Spaaax builds music from the depths of the subconscious — hypnotic, rhythmically driven, and deeply atmospheric. Eleven D captures that approach across four productions that move between the mental and the physical without losing momentum.

This is MindTrip.
