Tracklisting:
A1 Blame The Mono feat. HerrClem - Forlorn
A2 Blame The Mono - Front Left Rodeo
B1 Blame The Mono - Conepusher
B2 Blame The Mono - Caledonian Woofers

Sales Note:
Following a first successful 2020 instalment and a contribution to our VA series, Blame The Mono are back on the Taapion mothership to deliver their second household EP. This 4-tracker stays true to the beloved influences of the duo by showcasing multiple genres and heavily using vocals, while keeping a dancefloor-focused essence. ''Sustain The Rigour'' translates the hard disciplined work Blame The Mono put in the studio switching over the techno recipe while keeping its original ingredients. Throughout the coldwave sonic explorations of Forlorn, endless vocal looping drive of Front Left Rodeo, bombastic Moog bassline of Conepusher or the spaced -out garagey vocal chops of Caledonian Woofers, this EP keeps both pace and inventivity rigorously high.

The Womxn EP (what's your type) is a celebration and a message of Womxn empowerment. The EP consists of four tracks each referring to a different stereotype for women in contemporary Western society - "The Holy Jane", "The Drama Queen", "Old With Cats" and "Single And Fab" -. The Womxn EP criticizes and deconstructs many of the harmful stereotypical roles ascribed to Womxn who display certain characteristics. Each Womxn has the right to become herself and do whatever she needs to do even if that goes against society's expectations of what Womxn should represent or behave. More

A2 Hadone - I Miss Strobes
B1 Antigone - Please Repeat
B2 Blame The Mono - Spread Unison

Release Note
Taapion is back with its 4th various artists compilation featuring Shlømo, Hadone, Antigone and Blame The Mono. Sounds like a family affair. More

Following his highly praised Defining Persuasion EP in 2019, rising French producer Hadone presents on Taapion his very first LP "And Then You Were None".

Navigating effortlessly between hard floor techno, IDM, ambient & jungle, the album expresses Hadone's sonic interpretation & perception of time, reflecting on how we use and consume it through our existence. Thanks to this long-playing format, the artist can finally unveil his full potential and delivers a wonderfully mature journey across 2 records. More

2018 was a year in which Shaun Baron-Carvais, aka Shlomo, fully arrived as one of techno's most exciting talents. An individual at the centre of the city's rich and diverse scene, the Parisian affirmed the thoughts of many as he unveiled his fourteen-track debut album "Mercurial Skin" on Taapion to critical acclaim, marking a significant chapter in the Shlomo journey and a first for the imprint, with DJ Mag naming the LP #6 in their Best Albums of 2018, whilst featuring in Tsugi's top three albums of the year, with praise extending throughout the dance music world and beyond from the likes of Groove Magazin, TRAX and Mixmag, through to publications such as Liberation, Le Bonbon and more. The project signaled both the arrival of a highly anticipated album, but also a complete presentation of Shaun's universe as an artist, with Tsugi noting the release as a "first step towards the total blossoming of a big name in electronic music" as they welcomed him to curate their highly coveted cover CD, showcasing his diverse, expansive palette as both a skilled producer and also a highly accomplished DJ. Having revisited the project's material with updates and edits throughout his own live sets, the Frenchman now welcomes an impressive cast of emerging and established names to remix the package, spanning pockets of IDM and ambient textures through to warping techno as he releases the four-part "Mercurial Skin Remixes" on Taapion this September.
Telefon Tel Aviv's "Dub Remix" sees the US talent take influences from two cuts from the album as he offers up the enchanting and serene "Hadal Skin", Regis and Simon Shreeves combine to reveal the hypnotic and warping remix of "Napalm" under their CUB guise, before handing over to In Aeternam Vale who accents the wandering melodies of title cut "Mercurial Skin" with laser sharp kicks and tripped out vocal snippets. Netsh completes the offering in style, highlighting the original lead melody whilst interjecting slick drums as he delicately lends his hand to "Hadal Zone".
A1 Shlømo ? Mercurial Skin (Ellen Allien Remix)
