Press Info:
Ben Gibson and Fundamental Interaction return to their collaborative project entitled Dyad with four dark and uncompromising techno productions this December.

Individually Ben Gibson is known for releases on Perc Trax and Axis, whilst Fundamental Interaction, real name Mark Asbrey, is known for appearances on MM Audio and CLFT. Together they launched Dyad in 2014, the joint production project and label that quickly earned support from the upper echelons of techno, such as Ben Sims, Len Faki and DVS-1. Since then they’ve gone on to release music on Don’t Be Afraid and Tsunami, as well as launch a secondary imprint for like-minded artists called Common Purpose Series. They now return to the Dyad label with four more brutal cuts.

A collection of slowly pulsing drones and haunting atmospheres evolve to make ‘Akhoe (Version)’ an intriguing opener to the release whilst ‘Akhoe’ follows up with a pounding kick, rolling hi hats and rim shots which add a dancefloor context to the hypnotic ambiences.

‘Tacenda’ entices the listener with a mesmerising synth riff that expands over the course of the track as the filter opens and more layers are subtly revealed during a relentless percussive composition. ‘Structural Response’ has an entrancing, progressive hook laid over synthesised polyrhythms clouded with ethereal overtones bringing an exciting close to the release.

Press Info:
Rebar, the duo behind the “made of CONCRETE” label kick off their self titled label.

“Rebar” is meant as a space for the artists’ own sound explorations, aimed at putting forth releases which combines their usual style with cross-boundary composition. “Rebar” releases are limited to vinyl only appearances.

“Rebar #1” sees a versatile three piece assortment with a seemingly common theme. Field recordings make ample appearances in Rebar’s work and this release makes no exception: a large part of the elements were recorded in and around train stations of a famous metropolis.

Further info can be revealed on the flipside of the vinyl.

Press Info:
“The future is there…looking back at us. Trying to make sense of the fiction we will have become” William Gibson

Future Déjà Vu is a Berlin based techno label. Behind such paradoxical definition of time lies an elementary objective: the promotion of a functional sound, able to be immediately usable on a techno-floor. The immediacy of the sound becomes in turn paradox itself and its plainness turns into power.becomes in turn paradox itself and its plainness turns into power.
