Press Info:
Although we still live off the highlights from this year’s summer events, we couldn’t resist but sharing some warm vibes with you during the cold season. For our AWAY Winter Edition we’re happy to welcome two new faces: the Dutch house weapon Gerd, who has built a legendary reputation as a DJ, producer and label owner of 4lux, as well as Eric Cloutier, resident of the famous The Bunker parties in New York, are playing their long overdue debut sets for AWAY. Alongside our favorite Greek Mr. Statik and Attila & Gian from our LackRec. label mates, we’re also anticipating two additional B2B sets: While our in-house groove factory AWAY Soundsystem join forces with Quarion, Berlin’s new techno whizz kids Blind Observatory and Discrete Circuit will share the decks once again. Quality music all night long!

Pitch Black Mirror

 

Press Info:
Pitch Black Mirror is the new full length album from industrial techno veterans Orphx, co-presented by Sonic Groove (2xLP + Digital) and HANDS (CD).

Rich Oddie and Christina Sealey have created a diverse and distinctive body of work over the last 23 years and this album may be their most definitive statement yet.

Pitch Black Mirror foregrounds the duo’s unique fusion of techno and industrial but also demonstrates their ability to continually push their sound in new and challenging directions by drawing on elements of electro, post-punk and EBM.

The human voice is a central element here, ranging from subtle layers of samples and location recordings to the more prominent vocals of Rich Oddie and guest vocalist Marie Davidson. The album is also notable for its detailed sound design, courtesy of Sealey’s modular synthesizer systems, Oddie’s percussion and synth work, and software mutations from founding Orphx member Aron West.

With its sonic and lyrical imagery of watery depths, lost love, and transmutations, Pitch Black Mirror offers a sonic landscape that is clearly inspired by personal and social turmoil but points towards the possibility of creative transformation.
