Position Parallèle – Mélodies En Sous-Sols Format: CD, Album, Limited Edition Country: Europe Released: 03 Nov 2020 Style: Synth-pop, Minimal
Come with me under the floor… You know it’s deep, too deep.
Something has been changing for a while. It’s in the air, it’s in the flesh,it’s in your eyes.
I’m thinking about what will happen to us when they find our gameplay.
Come and listen to some ‘Mélodies en sous sols’ – you know who I am and what I am.
If you’re here, you know me more than I know you. Can you listen to my voice and all the electronic noises from the city? Can you understand what I’m thinking about people, flesh, skin, leather, love, memories, crime and the sweetest sound of a spider eating something on the wall. Who are you? Who am I?
Come on and shut up!!! Listen to some of my ‘Mélodies en sous sols’…. Shhhhttttt………. Listen….“

Templum N.R. – T.o.V. Improvisations XCII-XCIII Label: Aural Hypnox – AHUE06 Series: Underworld Editions Format: CD, Album, Limited Edition, Reissue Country: Finland Released: 25 May 2018 Style: Dark Ambient, Drone, Electro, Minimal
The musical improvisations of T.o.V. derive from Umbra-visitation sessions held in the Temple of Mercurial Orgies and Room Luna Lake between 2014 and 2015. The concept of the album has been evolving within the minds of the Templum N.R. members for the past twenty years, so perhaps it is not proper to talk of this as their latest release. Linear time and Templum N.R. do not walk hand in hand and their rituals cannot be measured in hours but in years.
Compared to their previous release ‘Spectrum CCCXC: Transitio’, this album is based on a more analog-organic approach than an analog-digital-synthetic. The four echoing Hymns of Otherness are here to awake the ghosts dwelling within; join the Stagnant Dance and meet the Carcass of Formations – the shrieks are heard from beyond.
This CD version includes a ‘Grave Gravitation: Transitio XCV’ ep which came earlier exclusively as a part of ‘T.o.V. Improvisations XCII-XCIII’ special edition. Two tracks of pure oscillating power – minimalistic, wrathful modular drones, where multitude of hidden harmonics meets a choral of transforming frequencies.
The album is enclosed in a customised and screen printed Sublunar series cardboard covers, including six two-sided insert cards. Limited to 300 copies.

Sally Dige is a multidisciplinary artist known for her darkly poetic yet highly danceable electro-pop songs, DIY stylistic videos, design and visual art. Sally‘s deep and commanding voice, coupled with her analogue-visual-processes and overlapping artistic mediums has formed an identity that oscillates between the edges of aggression and fragility, old and new. Holding On was created during the time of intense inner turmoil. Despite being stretched to her emotional limits, Sally did not let the weight of her circumstances break her, instead channeling all of her pain and fears into the production of a series of incredibly powerful songs. Stunningly, Sally used only her voice and a single synth to create this album. Even with so little gear, the songs are anything but minimal. Each song has a minimum of 100 tracks and, for some songs, 100 tracks for just the drum section alone. Every audible sound has 20 other sounds swimming beneath it. These are songs written for dance floors but are sung about loneliness, death and the meaninglessness of existence. Sally‘s work tows the line between a blissful innocence and a heavy darkness. Think Gina X flavored post punk-disco rubbing against Twitch-era Ministry‘s lost Sade collab or Enya on LSD after a break up.
Track Listing : 01. Holding On 02. Emptiness 03. Be Gone 04. Sail to Me 05. I Can‘t Be 06. This Life 07. No Need to Pretend 08. Holding On (Forces Extended Mix)

Invoked in midsummer 2012, OCCULTE is a new French musical and esoteric experience, conducted by HAL (aka DJ Alexida) & RH (aka Rose Hreidmarr), based on improvisation, automatic writing, deep atmospheres, and modified states of consciousness. OCCULTE is inspired by stars, moons, skies, and by what hides in the woods and megalopolises’ suburbs.
And power was given to them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

Lawrence English + Stephen Vitiello – Acute Inbetweens
Label: Crónica Format: CD, Album Country: Portugal Released: 15 Mar 2011 Style: Abstract, Drone, Experimental, Minimal
Since their initial meeting in Australia during 2006, Stephen Vitiello (USA) and Lawrence English (AU) have enjoyed a long distance collaboration orbiting around the joint passion for field recordings and modular synthesis.
Exploring the points of convergence and divergence between electricity and environment, the duet’s “Acute Inbetweens” is a collection of works derived from hazy environmental memory, imagined landscape and field recorded actualities. It’s a blurring mist of encountered spaces, recreated by means voltage controlled. Like the spatial inspiration that guides the record, “Acute Inbetweens” pace is tempered and during certain pieces borders on a sense of timelessness.
Pieces such as “La Voix est absente” unfold with a pacing of the lauded opening Lotus flowers at Sinobazu-no-ike pond, individual elements revealing themselves in subtle arcs of sound, swelling into a rich harmonic whole. By contrast “Exposure in Relief” is a more robust and pulsing work in which micro melodies spiral into one another. “Acute Inbetweens”, sharp moments diffused in time.

The two projects Electro Music (WE ARE THE HUNTERS & Mynationshit) most interesting today, all together on a space travel…
We are the Hunters were born from the fusion of Sentrionaut and Synthembryo (Alonso Urbanos, Scumearth) . They are influenced by German electronics, experimental sounds, space synth, minimal synth, ambient, industrial… For this goal they began their way armed with a selection of analogue and digital synths, adding analogue DIY machinery, semi-modular systems and a clear influence of the science fiction that has been with us for decades, either in cinema, literature, soundtracks and, above all, electronic synth music created from the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s
Mynationshit emerges as a musical project in 2007. It consists of one component to develop his musical interests through the use of synthesizers and drum machines. Mynationshit produces an electronic sound that manages to recreate the dark environments with highly emotive melodies.
Limited edition 200 copies

‘Beta Evers / Spatial Relation’, a six-track 12” E.P., that also features, Heinrich Mueller of Dopplereffekt. The six tracks contain the coldest of minimal synth and technoid darkness, underpinned by a melancholic sentiment. This is the third release by Spatial Relation on Peripheral Minimal, and the first by Beta Evers.
Brigitte Enzler aka Beta Evers, grew up with the New Wave and experimental electronics scenes in the late 70’s and early 80’s. In her teenage years she founded a girl-band and started her first record label at the age of 16, to independently release and distribute the music of her project. During the early 90’s Brigitte started to arrange gatherings / parties, (electronic music) for local underground clubs in her home city of Augsburg, Germany.
In the year 2000 she founded the electro collective Kommando 6, and in 2001 she decided to run a label again, under the same name, Kommando 6. Finally, in the same year, she started to compose and produce her own tracks independently. Besides her solo-project, Brigitte collaborates in a side-project with Dystronic called, Black Spider Clan, which began life in 2002. Furthermore she is involved in, Flying Bodies and Radikale Analog Fraktion. In 2006 she closed the Kommando 6 label after it had released 20 records. More recently she started 2 new labels called Bodyvolt and Venus Noir.
Married New York based couple, Lissette and Jacob Schoenly founded Spatial Relation several years ago, and have sporadically released classic technoid synthwave / minimal wave, akin to fellow US act, ‘Adult’ who are also a major influence. Their first full length LP has been critically acclaimed, and the three tracks herein continue their twisted electro sounds.
