Press Info:
Controlled Violence presents its third Various Artists release on vinyl, seeing its two base cities uniting to showcase the sounds of both Melbourne and Leipzig. CVR XVI exhibits four artists who truly represent the sounds of their cities and scenes, demonstrating that Controlled Violence is not only defined by unearthing talented artists, but also by presenting individuals who express an endless devotion to the world of electronic music.

Representing Melbourne with a diverse mix of warped, ethereal, and dynamic sonic works are Fergus Sweetland and Vohkinne. In opening the A-Side, Fergus Sweetland launches listeners on a cyclic and evolving, yet atemporal journey through space. Backing up is Vohkinne, who bends reality with a contorting, low-slung belter, wholly summarising Controlled Violence’s stylistic persuasions.

On the B-Side, and giving the gift of Leipzig’s sounds are Kontinum and I C S. Hypnotic heads, Kontinum present a symphony brimming with delayed stabs, thick oscillator pulses, and orderly percussion. Turning the dial further is I C S., who expresses a twisted yet slamming piece of work, broken up with melodic and breaks-influenced sections, speaking to all corners of the audio spectrum, and concluding the release perfectly.

Controlled Violence is proud to present this body of work, composed and influenced by the artists and artistic ideas of its diverse surroundings. For a timeless journey into Melbourne and Leipzig, CVR XVI is the answer.

Press Info:
Darkness.

I know…Science says that it is just the absence of visible light. Closed minds and unexercised souls will immediately perceive it as something bad or evil. Well, don’t trust the normal people. Never do that. They have no idea how purely and incredibly beautiful darkness is

Darkness is playing a vital role in understanding life, in reading its uncertainties, in writing your interpretations of the uncertainties, to make sense of an enlivened you. By succeeding to comfort yourself in the darkness, to survive its darkest roads, you start feeling even more the sounds, the energy and even more important the emotions and deeper feelings..You become naked. Naked and therefore free to be 100% yourself. You grow more muscles to survive anything life will throw at you, to fight the difficulties, to appreciate even the tiniest of beauty.

We all grow through our personal dark fairytales. They are the greatest school each one of us has ever could have. Every tough story is a awe-inspiring fairytale which makes the life, being important and exciting and…alive!

I’ve gone through a lot of darkness, lived several dark fairytales and I came out of them to eventually reach the point where I’m happier than ever. This album is dedicated to those dark fairytales, to the darkness I’ve lived, to the light I see now and to the beautiful people (and dogs) who are empowering -and even creating- this breathtaking light I feel right now.

This album besides showcasing the music taste of me as artist, it also showcases me as person. Explore my dark fairytales. Dive in their darkness and you might end up dancing full filled with light!”

-Alex Varveris aka Abyssal Chaos-

Press Info:
‘World’ is the debut album dreamt up by Barcelona based DJ / Production duo Memorial Home. Comprising of Paul Roux (France) and Jeremy Pinchasi (Belgium), ‘World’ is the exciting result of their shared desire to push the limits of their own brilliant musical foresight. It’s an ambitious 20 track longplayer which effortlessly showcases the incomparable sonic space shared between both musical masterminds.

Sitting somewhere just to the left of Nicolas Jaar, Radiohead, Massive Attack, Mike Dehnert and Ostgut Ton, Memorial Home has managed to craft an album absolutely unique to their sound, impossible to categorise and sure to catch the attention of music lovers of all shapes and sizes. Techno without a dancefloor, experimental electronica fit for the warehouse raves. It’s an exciting, perfectly confusing album which simply works wonderfully.

Heavily textured in incredible atmospherics, dub effects and crisp, clear percussion, ‘World’ spreads over an excellent array of individual tracks full of groundbreaking musical magic. Incorporating a stunning fusion of live instrumentation and electronic craftsmanship, ‘World’ is an audio adventure into emotive soundscapes, with a clear focus on the subtle saturation of melancholy. It’s a soundtrack for a dystopian film yet to be written. A sonic painting for the coming winter months where the trees are all but dead and frozen; and the ground a thick layer of glowing white snow.

Memorial Home are the founders of the independent label Rapid Eye Movement, which has seen a breadth of incredible EPs riding the balance between experimental Techno and introspective electronica. They first met by random chance in their newly adopted home of Barcelona, Spain. This unexpected encounter quickly developed into a full-fledged musical kinship through their shared interest in crafting cinematic, experimental techno music. Each release from the label and duo showcase their clear passion to unearthing sounds beyond the expected. With their debut LP about to drop, the future is looking certain for the duo, the label, and the changing face of modern day electronic music.
