Press Info:
Ayarcana makes his debut on Cluster Node bringing with him his signature sound and style. The EP, titled ‘Cheap Rents and Haunted Houses’ (CN006) consists of two destructive original tracks and two equally crushing remixes by Peryl and Outlander.

Sinister and slightly oppressive, the title evokes a shadowy reminiscence of some of the darker facets of life in the artist’s hometown of choice, Berlin. Side A. introduces us to the two original tracks, characterized by Ayarcana’s lethal kicks, monstrous modular noise and powerful synths, they are spinning us around, forcing us to face what we went through as we look ahead.

Disorder, noise, pressure and paranoia, culminate in an electric storm, continuously upping the voltage to the next level. Ayarcana truly embodies the heavy hitting, relentless, industrial menace that he creates and routinely executes his listeners with.

Influences like hardcore punk, harsh noise and black metal have always been an undeniable presence in the artist’s sound and there is no doubt that the energy in the tracks is filled with an unsettlement and yet the effect is immediate; surrendering to mental destruction has never sounded so appealing.

On the B. side, two uncompromising remixes of ‘Cheap Rents and Haunted Houses’ continue the EP. Peryl’s version immediately transports the listener to a dystopian landscape of menacing atmospheres and sharp, distorted noises, while Outlander’s interpretation completes the EP with a brutal storm of rave energy ready to tear down the club, taking no prisoners.

Four outright dance floor assassins.

CYNKT triumphantly returns to the label with his track One Day, mixing fat beats with high energy synth lines. Following on, Label boss Kracht unleashes an absolute weapon with his somewhat naughty and much requested title track, The Porn Collector’s Assistant.

Rounding up the EP the duo Ruke Lidchard from Leipzig bring a hefty dose of distortion and grit with Young Vegetables that will leave you shuddering. Handle with care.

High Intense Music (Make Me Sick)

Press Info:
OECUS presents the second release of the digital catalogue. “OCSDGTL002 VA”, features five different artists from the roster, each with their own individual vision of the genre. A compilation full of surprises and thundering soundscapes.

The revenues of the release will be donated to a charity that supports work and education on gender equality.

Starting off with „Vision” from Alderaan, the VA is introduced with a track so well crafted, that its clean sound design makes you feel on a path of stellar sound exploration.

The second track from SLV „Finding the others“, is a relentless industrial stomper. Through distorted mechanics and brutal kicks, the heavy character of this track is pounding its way through the speakers of the listener.

The tension of the EP begins to rise with Monovsn’s „Fallout“. A storm of well placed synthesisers, carried by a light-footed, banging groove makes this slick, purist techno for compelling moments on the dance-floor.

Now the dystopian vibe of the VA reaches it’s peak, when Öspiel’s „Fallen Romance“ mesmerising synthesisers fly through the air. After introducing the track with an abyssal atmosphere, the clattering beat kicks in and is later completed by a shimmering melody and cleverly used percussions.

The last track of the VA „High Intense Music (Makes Me Sick)“ by Felicie feels like a statement. While the evil kick and distorted drums come crashing like a rusty wrecking ball, a sample repeatedly reminds you what this track is about: Raw energy.
