PINKMAN's resurrection of its Broken Dreams series is marked by a release of Dolphins - Benedikt Frey's project with Markus Woernle and Nadia D'Alo. 40G evokes landscapes of doom, disorienting pleasure, and the surreal visions that occupy a sleepless night; the soundtrack to a Lynchian fantasy about the creatures that haunt the murky waters of the modern mind. It's an album for finding yourself on a stranger's couch, tearing at the fraying edges of another endless night, wrapped beneath a blanket of drugged-out kraut. "I am here to guide you through the night," the trio sing on 'Alright'; we believe they're up to the task. More

A contemporary rendition of punk, fused with dubbed out, and slowed down industrial electronics, courtesy of Identified Patient and RLR's Hugo van Heijningen.

Borusiade's Misfits of Broken Dreams puts a futuristic twist on industrial electronics, fusing it with spaced out drones and detached, yet bold spoken word by the artist herself. Rugged tribal rhythms and rumbling bass complete the picture, and you're left with an immersive ride leaving you somewhere inbetween fight-or-flight and gloomy despondency. More

Years of Denial joins Pinkman Broken Dreams and deliver an EP with four devilish and cataclysmic electronic body tracks. The duo's sound combines influences of deranged experimental music with vocals surrounding themes of isolationism and dark romanticism. The outcome is stunning in its very own way, as the music creates a deeply immersive atmosphere, and is abundantly vigorous to keep dancers on their toes and moving from the night's darkest corners to the dawn of day.

One of the most diverse artists in contemporary electronic music is back on Pinkman, with more than just another 12". To give him the freedom to experiment and roam between different sounds, textures and influences, Black Merlin will be doing a trilogy of releases for Broken Dreams.

Straight out of underground Paris and right onto Pinkman's Broken Dreams arrives Myn. The Public Systems label boss follows up a debut track on his own label with a poem about gloom, desolation and anger written in native machine language for the Rotterdam imprint. The A stanza describes a 'Mental Outburst' with punchy lines written in raw percussion and disconcerting 303 work. Following a line break, the B stanza changes the meter from 4/4 to pummelling broken beat in a piece about power and dominance titled 'Black Rose'. The Violent Poetry concludes with yet more deathly rhythms and spine-chilling verses in 'Core Collapse'.

Alessandro Adriani weaves a nightmarish scenario as the Mannequin man returns to Pinkman's Broken Dreams with four hardened works.

Music for sleepless nights and addled minds. More

Pinkman's Broken Dreams welcome a new midnight malcontent into the fold, Ernestas Sadau debuts with his first 12": Gonzo on Tour. Sirens blare, samples hiss in a haze of static before a grizzled snare introduces "Riots in Jail Near Kaunas." Grubby basslines curl into shards of acid, full figured thump sweetened by fragile bars. "Crackheads from Lyon" is steeped in the traditions of garage bands and D.I.Y. punk. Strings snarl and sneer at crashing drum beats, lonesome notes floating in the surge. The foul tempered "Hiroshima (Acid Breaks Your Body Mix)" demands the flip. Beats break and buckle under the leer of lewd 303 lines, a finale bubbling over with violent intent.

Having already debuted on the Pinkman main label, Identified Patient now steps up for the Pinkman "Broken Dreams" series for your stripped back content. The whole EP is furnished with the sinister and commanding vocals of Sophie du Palais, also known as 'Vrouwe Fataal,' creating an infectious vortex of panic and scare to abort your dreams. Throughout the release, hazy percussion is carefully seasoned with the bitter synth lines and guitar riffs from Lasznkioff. The first track, 'Peaceful Panic' is in full seduction and fetish mode, setting the scene for the better corners. 'Sleep Without Rest' violently tightens up the leather and gives you your kicks for thrills. The EP ends with frenzy: messed up intermezzos with Lasznikoff, mixing up an 808 with his destructive guitar rig and, as he states, 'everything is done.'
