Press Info:
To all the challenges we met
To all silencers who burned our palms
To all storms we walked trough
And all the storms we became
Thank you
This is our postal card
/ Face fear and remember: here is where you get to grow

The Storms We Became is the fifth act of rebellion, featuring original works of 10 artists, both familiar and new to the label. With a red thread of distorted and broken percussions and vocals, the compilation showcases a wide range of styles met in the same intention: crossing the border of normative compliance. What is dance music and counter culture anyway, if we don’t take ourselves the time to question and break the new cages we have built for ourselves?

Acts of Rebellion releases emotively intense techno sounds and alternative dance music, questioning the border of genre conventions and traditional functionality. By fiercely representing diverse and transgressive expressions, the label aims to dissolve the mirages of destructive policies that hold underground dance back from its original cause.

Complemented with its non-musical augmented reality storytelling, Acts of Rebellion can be considered a series of postal cards, demonstrating the challenges we all go through: on a macro-level as a society, and on a micro-level as individuals. Stories of unconditional self-respect and overcoming normative conditioning. Stories of reclaiming one’s history and name, of shaping one’s own reality. Stories of remembering love, and of Challenge bowing for its queen: fierce minds and hearts which are ready for anything.

A donation has been made for the use of the ‘Amen break’. Listeners are applauded to do the same, as the famous sample has shaped electronic music as we know it today.

Part of the profits of this release is donated to IGLYO, to contribute to a brighter future for queer kids around the world.

Press Info:
Denise Rabe has quickly attracted attention with her distinctive approach to techno: powerful percussive force, detailed sound design, and slowly modulating compositions crafted to induce dancefloor hypnosis. Following acclaimed releases on Arts Collective, Stroboscopic Artefacts, and her own Rabe label, Denise joins Blacklabel Distillery with a new 12” that digs deep into the hypnotic dimensions of her sound. “Brilliance” is a shimmering monolith, serpentine sounds woven through head-nodding beats. “Outta Body” delivers on its promise of transcendence with slowly evolving drones unfolding over a driving rhythm. Perc brings things back down to earth with a relentless remix that conjures images of malfunctioning, mutating machinery, while Sverca freezes “Brilliance” into suspended animation, captivating with just a few layers of sound. The digital tracks highlight Rabe’s exceptional compositional skills, exploring subtly shifting alien soundscapes on “Spacetrouble” and mesmerizing with the massive cosmic sounds of “Fully In”.

(Oliver Rosemann Remix)

Press Info:
Truncate, Black Asteroid, Denise Rabe and Oliver Rosemann remix Impact Mechanics founder Submerge and fellow Chicagoan Hiroko Yamamura’s ‘The Uncommon Enemy’.

Hailing from the Windy City, Submerge and Hiroko Yamamura are both respected for producing quality electronic music however when they team up they take it to another level. This is proven by last year’s anthemic ‘The Uncommon Enemy’ techno release, which picked up support from artists like Amelie Lens, Dave Clarke, Rebekah, and many more. Four excellent and contrasting techno artists now provide remixes.

One half of the critically acclaimed Motor, Black Asteroid is first up with a remix of ‘X.AN.112’ – kicking things off with firing lasers, stereo image effects and heavy synths. USA techno titan and frequent Ben Sims collaborator as ASSAILANTS, Truncate steps up next with his Midas touch, incorporating a rolling sub, flying pads and crunchy cymbals to turning ‘X.SPE.8086’. Generating a sci-fi inspired aesthetic from the off, Denise Rabe’s industrial remix of ‘X.CTR.7130’ follows and sees the Berlin-based Rabe label boss in fine form once again. Finally, MindTrip’s Oliver Rosemann then approaches ‘X.CTR.7130’ with jarring rattles, powerful stabs and echoed claps.

Press Info:
Firmly entrenched in techno’s haziest alcoves, every new record from Denise Rabe is as punishingly hypnotic an experience as it aims to penetrate the deepest laid of your cerebral zones. Having plied her trade on Arts’ sub-division Arts Collective before moving on to establish her own dedicated label, Rabe, in 2017, the Berlin-based DJ and producer steps up with her much anticipated debut platter for Stroboscopic Artefacts, as she takes the helm for the fifth sortie of the Totem series. True to her love for all things droney and psychoactive, this time Rabe has us descending into rugged, hostile sonic terrains with just a headlamp and the thick mantle of darkness for closest companions. Ahead’s a demented safari across nightmare-prone visions and thunderstruck vistas.

Hosing off the loud, churning 909 kicks and passive-aggressive machine talk straightaway, ‘Manifesto’ sets the tone for the warehouse-sized hammering to come. Evil-minded swashes of hyper-delayed percs and criss-crossing chimes lash out in successive waves, further subjugating the dancers as bars fly by. Back to floor-ready dynamics, the adrenaline booster B-side opener ‘Don’t Leave’ is a truly mind-bending tip. Primed for unrelenting peak time action with its angry buzzard-like drones, pacey 4/4 swing and refined palette of eerie circuit noises and click-y minimalism, this one’s a high-impact steamroller, sure to get maximum response when things start getting muscular. A more spacious and atmospheric number, ‘Clouds’ caps it off and heads for quieter high-altitude spheres as the dubbed-out drums beat an off-kilter, leftfield friendly pulse and ominous synth stabs and pads envelop the listener in entrancing textural folds and interplays.
