Press Info:
For the 10th instalment of the Monolith Deaf Souls series, ‘KrankerWeg’ marks the debut of ‘KODEBREAKER’, side project of Ken Karter, artist and militant audio engineer guru whose contribution was fundamental to shape and develop the sound of Monolith Records since the earliest stages, and Sirio Gry J, founder of the platform. The combination of Ken’s mathematical austerities with Sirio’s eclecticism, allows new ways to detonate in erratic collisions that characterise the practice and cadency of the code-breaking process. This EP is an ode to sickness intended as a non-compliant attitude to escape feeding the algorithmic optimization of social engineering practices. Krankerweg grinds faster than the speed of thought, hits even harder, and it is colder than liquid nitrogen. The four original cuts are sonic monstrosities that push to enlarge and enrich an imaginary brewed up from visions that aim to conceive and explore fresh sonic settings drown into the darkest synthetic dystopia. An essentially linear process that aims to deconstruct the code upon which hegemonies are established and maintained, degrading the difference as a lesser worthy ingredient of the whole compound. The importance of empowering variance as a prominent feature of resourcefulness is also evidenced by (epi)genetics theories and evolutionary mechanisms. Variability in perception, as much as in action, can be remarked even when external conditions such as sensory inputs or task goals are maintained as constant as possible, and it is an observable at the neuronal level too. Human perception accounts on molecules hitting certain receptors at random rates owing to diffusion, and such variance originates from the receptor proteins that are limited in their ability to accurately count the exact number of signalling molecules; the input energy gets converted into a chemical or mechanical signal, later to be amplified and converted into an electrical impulse, necessarily contaminated by pre-existing noise generated during the amplification process, along with the intrinsic noise of the external context. Within this process, any noise trace sets a perceptual threshold for later stages of the information processing operation, and the input signals that are weaker than the noise itself cannot be distinguished from it after amplification. This natural constant inequality in the data-processing unhinges ultimately the prospect of defining a unique, right-for-all way to follow, and suggests instead to embrace the differentiation as the only key to thrive in perspective of the infinity of the human mind.

Press Info:
This EP is 6 unreleased tracks in the Thomas Brinkmann celebrated Max Ernst series of 12″, all with female names, released with names ordered alphabetically. Starting with. 1. Anna Beate, the series ran for 12 releases over the 2 years from 1998 to 2000. 2. Clara Doris 3. Erika Frauke 4. Gisela Heidi 5. Inge Jutta 6. Karin Lotte 7. Monika Nikola 8. Olga Petra 9. Susie Trixi 10. Ulla Vera 11. Wanda Xenia 12. Yvette Zara, followed. There was never an ep with Q and R. Number 9 is Susie and Trixie. The tapes were lost. But have come to light nearly 25 years later. So now, here is Q/R; Quila 1-3 and Romy 1-3. What we have here are the original tracks as intended for release, with some minor editing and rearranging for release now. The original series was very successful. The first 3 12″, released at the same time were a sensation on release. Suddenly, Thomas Brinkmann was the name to check. Today, these Quila/Romy tracks may well have the same impact as the other tracks in the series had when they were released. There is still nothing that sounds like this music. It seems to be an example of a perfect melding of soul and machine. 25 five years later… a annniversary of sorts, offered up by the machines.

Press Info:
We are absolutely thrilled showcasing 16 unique and exceptional tracks at this charity compilation.

At the heart of this initiative is a collaboration with FEMENA, an organization founded by Sussan Tahmasebi, dedicated to supporting women human rights defenders (WHRDs) and feminist movements in the challenging socio-political landscape of the MENA and Asia regions.

This collaboration seeks to make a positive impact through the universal language of music, amplifying the voices of those facing restrictions in Iran. Given the challenges and restrictions on direct financial support in Iran, this partnership aims to provide much-needed aid via FEMENA.

In the spirit of unity and freedom:
No woman is free until all woman are free.
No human is free until all humans are free.
