Info:
ACR is back. After the release of “Subway Into” on his own label and a remix for Marcel Dettmann’s “Landscape” Patrick Gräser returns with ACR on MDR, the underground techno imprint by Marcel Dettmann. So ACR becomes a label mate of Wincent Kunth, Berghain residents Norman Nodge and Dettmann himself.
Answer Code Request is the result of several releases by Patrick using his real name and spinning some more bassy stuff like drum’n’bass, but the tracks also have a bit of Burial’s dubsteppy sounds and breaks.
This is part one of his two-parted EP “MDR 09”. It’s bassy and melodic.

Info:
Nitzer Ebb founder/electronic music pioneer Douglas J McCarthy began writing his first ever solo album in 2010 during a European DJ tour. McCarthy and world renowned producer/former M People singer Mark Bell – lauded for his work with such acts as Doc Martin and Felix da Housecat – recorded the album in LA over two years that found McCarthy performing 150 shows with Nitzer Ebb, caring for his father in England, and travelling across India by train.
McCarthy wrote Kill Your Friends as he traveled the world, returning to Cyrusrex’s LA studio where Cyrusrex’s custom made analog gear and Bell’s innovative production techniques bolstered McCarthy’s revolutionary debut. Recalling Cabaret Voltaire, Heroes era Bowie and Kraftwerk, this record devilishly blends industrial and experimental sounds with heavy dance floor beats and pop melodies.
For this release, McCarthy turned to Pylon Records whose mission to expose hidden gems from the darker side of the musical underground catalyzed their 2011 release of Peter Hook & The Light’s reawakening of Unknown Pleasures and single-handedly saved Santa Barbara’s Iron Curtain from absolute obscurity.
Kill Your Friends will be released by Pylon Records on November 23, 2012 in vinyl and CD. All vinyl editions include CDs featuring bonus songs and remixes. A limited collection of signed LPs will be available exclusively through Pylon’s website: http://www.pylonrecords.com.
Revolutionary in its conception, execution and distribution, Kill Your Friends truly exploits the opportunity a debut album provides for an artist to create new rules of engagement.
Kill Your Friends is a viscerally energetic journey through the darker side of electronic dance music.

Another limited edition picture disc with brand new remixes of the latest MOTOR single, taken from their recent milestone album “Man Made Machine” is coming out on CLRX. The featured vocalist on this fourth edition of the series is none other than Gary Numan, a true legend and another undisputed electronic music pioneer. He is equally known for his chart-topping hits in the 70s and 80s as for his signature sound of heavy synthesizer hooks and massively processed guitars who inspired countless acclaimed musicians of our time. MOTOR feat. Gary Numan “Pleasure In Heaven” is an encounter of two generations of gifted electronic musicians and could be considered a little piece of electronic music history itself.
For this challenging task the Singaporean dj/producer Xhin and the South Californian Drumcell, two cutting edge techno artists have been called on the remix duties and have delivered highly powerful and thrilling versions of this song. While Xhin uses Gary Numan’s vocals predominantly as atmospheric elements, enriching and enchanting the deep and driving track, Drumcell’s mix is almost like an alternative full vocal mix with a slow and mesmerizing yet raw and uncompromising approach.
Supremely honoring the innovative techno roots of MOTOR, both versions show a lot of the artist’s outstanding production skills and complement one another perfectly in their dissimilarity. Apart from the strictly limited collector’s item picture discs, CLRX4 is also available as digital downloads in all the popular online shops.

Info:
To celebrate the 30th release from leading independent UK Bass label, WIDE Records, we are very proud to present the latest offering from Debasser. This release follows on from other sub heavy classics such as “The Texas Bass Line Massacre”, “The Tingler”, “Quite Erotic” as well as the classics “Fat Girls” and the original UK Bass anthem, “Dark Smile”. Having made his way into the record boxes of some of the greatest DJs around, including the likes of Richie Hawtin, Dave Clarke and Andrew Weatherall, Debasser is back with yet another masterful blend of woofer shaking sounds to satisfy ya’ll below the belt.! !
Debasser original came to light back in 2002 with the critically acclaimed “Fat Girls” on Novamute, still to this day the track remains a favourite of Richie Hawtin and has featured in his current international EXIT playlist. The follow up track, “Dark Smile” was met with similar acclaim and credit and put Debasser well and truly at the top of his game. His output has continued on a number of labels around the globe including Seed, Balkan and Input-Output as well as his own WIDE Records, each time approaching music production with his unique twist of bass drunk and treble high. This along with his infamous live shows has gained him much respect within the electronic dance scene and crowned him the king of UK Bass. Described by journalists as “genre busting” and “approaching genius point”, Debasser has never rested on one specific sound but continued to move and developed however he sees fit so long as the lows keep rolling and the vibe keeps party. ! !
Captain Bass is the follow up to The Texas Bassline Massacre and sees Debasser treating his bass more like a comic book and less like a slasher movie, stepping away from the saw-wave-tastic indulgence of past and onto more of a beer swigging super hero dance floor filler. The release features along side remixes by Posthuman and Paul Blackford, both creating dance floor genius in their own inevitable style. The only question remaining is….just WHO IS Captain Bass?!
