Press Info:
Following EPM’s recent vinyl collaboration with Paris’s Yoyaku on Reel By Real’s “Surkit – Remixed and Remastered” and the return (this time solo) of Madben for the “Groove On” EP we continue the French touch as Paris based Kmyle makes his debut release for the label with the “Boreal EP”.

Kmyle is a name synonymous with boundless audible exploration, who has etched a lasting mark in the realm of electronic music. His career seamlessly blends magnetic techno, hypnotic rhythms and ethereal melodies, inviting listeners on a transcendent voyage through time and space.

Kmyle’s musical journey originates from Algiers, surrounded by a rich tapestry of African and Arabic sounds. His creative palette is a fusion of cinematic scores and eclectic inspirations such as Björk, Trentmøller and timeless artists like Pink Floyd. This diverse blend seamlessly integrates classical roots, electronic nuances and the evocative echoes of psychedelic rock, and finds inspiration in science fiction cinema, a genre he deeply admires, adding another layer to his artistic influences.

With revered labels such as Soma, Mord and Skryptöm placing their unwavering trust in his musical prowess, Kmyle’s journey serves as a living testament to his artistry. As a live performance maestro, he effortlessly enthrals audiences with his Möd4rn Live quartet, Laval duo with Electric Rescue and Spatialised 360° adventures.

Kmyle’s journey knows no bounds, launching Kmyle Records in 2020, an exciting new chapter in his career. Guided by luminaries like Luke Slater, Blawan and Laurent Garnier, Kmyle has shaped a formidable career while cultivating lasting friendships. His artistry transcends boundaries, solidifying his place as an enduring luminary in electronic music.

Kick-starting his debit for EPM, “Boreal” builds from a sinister, rolling bassline into a deep and pulsating techno groove, before “Cartilage” trips over its own staccato beat that grows ever more sinister via crunchy claps and ethereal echoes of dubbed out techno. “Darkness Light” takes us into IDM territory where Board of Canada get roughed up on the techno dancefloor, and finally the deep and dark “Metric” takes the EP into a long and menacing hypnotic tunnel.

out now: Oliver Way – Gamma State EP [EPM Music]

Artist:
Oliver Way

Title:
Gamma State EP

Label:
EPM Music

Cat#:
EPM114

Release Date:
08th March 2024

Format:
download & streaming

Tracklist:
01.
The Fabulous Mr. Baker

02.
Rubber Band

Press Info:
Following last year’s “Theta State EP”, Oliver Way continues his take on different states of mind with the “Gamma State EP”.

First of all, we have the deep bass and breaks driven electronica of “The Fabulous Mr. Baker”, a track dedicated to the sadly departed techno and house producer, Tim Baker. Building upon layered pads and heart-felt keys, Oliver evokes the sound of early ’90s ‘Artificial Intelligence’ era techno, drawing warmth and emotion from his machines.

This is backed by the jacking foot stomp of no non-sense floor banger “Rubber Band”. Fused with bassy rave stabs, the tracks linear groove propels ever onwards into a dark, sweat-soaked cavern. Dancefloor techno, pure and simple.

Both tracks are taken from Oliver’s second studio album due at the end of the year.

Press Info:
Cristian Vogel reprises his NEL alias for his fifth outing on EPM as he presents “NEL Adventures”, an eleven track compilation album featuring tracks from his four previous NEL EPs and two brand new productions in the shape of “Gullane” and “Earthsea”.

Cristian Vogel is a long-term innovator in the composition, mixing and performance of electronic sounds. Spanning over 25 years in the vanguard of international electronic music, his work has been acknowledged as an outstanding influence in the fields of composition for stage, club culture and studio. His numerous album releases have graced such esteemed labels as Tresor, Mille Plateaux, novamute, Shitkatapult, Sub Rosa and more recently his own Endless Process label.

His studio work as NEL is a departure from his more experimental album and sound design compositions and while these will continue, NEL tracks bear a closer resemblance to Cristian’s earlier production style, delivering tougher beats and rhythmic textures primarily using Modular synths in a hands on, improvised live-to-tape process. “The sound is characterized by analogue rhythms, textures and beats with an improvised flow”, says Cristian.

Tracks such as the statically charged “Tyrkisk Peber” deliver hot and peppery techno notes like its sweet namesake whilst this is juxtaposed by the shimmering expanse and brightness of “118 Days”. Then we have tracks like the minimal techno twangs of “La Fortuna”, the expressively structured “Mirabelle”, sweeping and spacey “Shadowgraphs” and “Orchid” with its gentle tonal stream.

Finally of note we have two brand new NEL / Vogel compositions exclusive to this release. “Gullane” is a linear groove, twisted by modular bumps into an organic dancefloor tease whilst “Earthsea” delivers glitch, dub-techno perfection and simply highlights yet again that Cristian Vogel is a master craftsman of electronic music.

Title:
Beyond The Reach Of Time EP

Label:
EPM Music

Cat#:

Beyond The Reach Of Time PT. 2

Press Info:
Wrapping up our 20th year in fine style EPM are delighted to reveal the release of ‘Beyond the Reach of Time’, the surprise 4th instalment of our EPM20 vinyl series from UK techno master, Regis.

Karl O’Connor (aka Regis) has remained a maverick and iconic figure on the global techno stage, ever since his ‘Montreal’ EP burned his name across the world’s dancefloors some 25 years ago. His unconventional and single-minded label, Downwards, often shrouded by mythology, has also helped to launch fellow protagonist Surgeon as one of techno’s most revered DJ/producers.

Never one to tread the easy path, O’Connor alongside known projects such as British Murder Boys (with Surgeon), O/V/R with James Ruskin and Sandwell District alongside Function and Silent Servant has more recently collaborated with artists such as Ann Margaret Hogan (piano) and Justin K. Broadrick on guitar (previously of Godflesh) for a one-off concert performed live in the Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus, Argolis, Greece as well as releasing last year’s stunning new album ‘In This Is The Light That You Miss’ on Downwards. In his continuous search to side-step convention, he remains one of the more highly regarded creative forces within the British techno/electronic scene.

The genesis of the tracks on ‘Beyond the Reach of Time’ go way back to 1999 and thanks to various internet leaks have, over the following years, added to the mystique that surrounds them and the artist. Recorded in a period when O’Connor was putting tracks together for both an album on Tresor and an anonymous shortly-lived house label called Housework, these tracks seemed to fit neither the hard-edged Regis sound of the time nor the Housework style and simply slipped through the cracks.

Now over 20 years after their creation we are proud to give these long-lost Regis tracks the official release they deserve. The EP opens with the thumping yet muted tribalism of ‘No Love From Above’ whereby O’Connor approaches the dancefloor with malevolent restraint before ‘At the Side of Silence’ fuses this approach with the chord motif that runs through the beating heart of this release.

Rolling in at just under 13 minutes the closing ‘Beyond the Reach of Time Pt.2’ is epic in both scale and sound, its synth drenched chords taking it closer to Motor City emotionalism than anything O’Connor has committed to wax. Its sister piece ‘Beyond the Reach of Time Pt.1’ can also be found on ‘EPM20’, the 21-track digital compilation marking EPM’s 20th Year.
