Serotonin Records is the original New York City electro-revival imprint still pumping out funk for you today. Synapse is the project of Serotonin Records founders John Selway and Jason “bpmf” Szostek. Besides releases on their own label, their tracks and remixes have made their way to Interdimensional Transmissions, Electrocord, i220, Studio !K7 and Instinct/Radical Ambient. Dedicated to their unique future funk sound of electro, their tracks define what Serotonin is all about. Synapse “Scientism EP” is an overview of the last 20 years of regress in modern culture. The erosion of democratic values, abuse of science, distortion and manipulation of facts and deliberate seeds of discord sown by the powerful to create schism in the fabric of society; enabling the few to exercise control over the many. All that and funk... good old American Electronic New York City Funk.
“Schismsim” could easily have been written to describe the present state of the body politic but it was produced over a decade before. How long and slow the decline of civilization, how glitched and disjointed it sounds. You can listen day and night but must choose left or right. “Facts” are what we fight over to the detriment of truth. How can “facts” be apolitical when so many powerful interests are paying to manufacture them? Synapse paid with human efforts to produce this lament for humanity that is lost in an ocean of disinformation. It has a pretty melody though…
The system is “Stealing Science” to further the agendas of our overlords. It’s also a very profitable endeavor as our economy becomes more dependent on automation and artificial intelligence. Synapse used old-fashioned human intelligence to create this suspenseful composition of rhythmic noir. “Pluralism” regrets the demise of our open and democratic society from the perspective of a frog left to boil in the pot on the stovetop. In our last moments of consciousness, at least we have a cosmic rocker with which to comprehend the folly of our plight. Synapse provides the funk for our requiem. Synapse “Scientism EP” is on the dark side with glimpses of light; it’s on the lighter side of darkness; it’s on the fun side of funk. Use this science to further a funkier agenda and get up on the truth of our oneness.
Serotonin – It’s what we live for…

Serotonin Records returns with a compilation of futuristic electronic funk. “It’s What We Live For: Volume 2” is the second in a series of compilations sharing our vision of sounds of tomorrow.
bpmf has been making electronic music since '84. In the late 80s he produced hip/hop which allowed him to gather a large library of breakbeats. In the 90s he released techno as a member of Prototype 909, chillout as a member of Rancho Relaxo All-Stars and electro as half of Synapse. bpmf has released electro on Serotonin and EMF. He mostly plays live techno but enjoys mixing it up and surprising people. “Zu Heiß fu¨r Uns” is a breaks-heavy tribute to his recently departed friend Frank Heiss.
NYC-based singer, multi-instrumentalist, DJ and producer Heidi Sabertooth has a serious love for hardware. Grit-laced drum loops, vintage acid and a tide of unruly sound clatters forth from her studio. Creating her unique brand of avant electronics since 2012 she shares it with the world on her Newtown Radio show Deep Dive and her residency at Bossa Nova Civic Club. Her highly lauded live hardware performances and vinyl-heavy dj sets have cemented her own place among NYC’s techno community and beyond. 2017 saw her debut EP on Motor Records, 2018 EP 'Neu U' released on Lost Soul Enterprises ,‘Machine Funk Is Our Game Volume 2.’ on Kraftjerkz contains a track. The brutal dark funk of “So You Want To Take Back Your Will” takes Serotonin deeper than ever.
Somatic Responses are veterans of the Breakcore scene, brothers Paul and John Healy have been creating complex, distorted techno since the mid 90s. Unlike the break-heavy, jungle sounds of their contemporaries, Somatic Responses have remained more experimental, sounding closer to the acid-laced Braindance outcrop of artists such as Autechre and Aphex Twin. The hypnotic soundscape of “Strategy of Desire” sets the perfect mood for an early morning wind down.
John Selway has built a high quality catalog of diverse productions, his own and as a collaborator. From Chaotic Sound Matrix; his contributions to early Deep Dish; his first success in the techno world as part of the seminal New York duo Disintegrator to his most successful Smith & Selway, his deep/minimal techno label CSM; intelligent electro-funk of Synapse and Serotonin Records, the electro/synth-pop of Memory Boy, to the wild improvisational eclecticism of Rancho Relaxo Allstars. Here he sacrifices his own funky “Brainchild” to ensure that the millennium sound continues on Serotonin.
