Repress!
German techno champ Alex Cortex hasn't released an album since 2011's Kihon on Pomelo, but the prolific and long-serving artist is rarely resting on his laurels. Having released just one other EP from Lowtec, Blundar now presents a new untitled LP from Cortex that should satisfy fans of his leftfield approach to techno in all its forms. "Track 2" is a masterclass in how to work breakbeats into techno without sounding forced or false, while "Track 4" blooms from delicate ambience to snagging broken beat with the grace you can only find with such a seasoned vet. Spanning many moods, tempos and rhythms, this is a perfect demonstration of the many engrossing approaches Cortex can attempt and succeed at within the many-sided realm of techno. More

vanta 004 comes from Alex Cortex, an artist who has been producing music for over 20 years now and who has been featured on many Killekill releases already.For this release he delivers two monumental tracks in his very own aesthetics: although both tracks are straight at first sight, their complex beat structure makes them shift and drift. And also their sound is distinctive: crystal clear and without any of the reverbs that you hear so often in modern techno they still have an incredible depth and sound more psychedelic than most of the other stuff that you hear nowadays. Killer! More

Alex Cortex delivering the heat!! Mr Cortex is kicking hard with a direct and mental techno tracks! Oscillon, A1, is a bleepy affair, direct and repetitive, but please, play it loud and watch. Rheometric is in the same alley as Oscillon but bringing the bleeps and glitches trip even more in your face. Combined with the fat but quirky bassline, it does the peak time techno thing extremely well. B1's title "Shear Wave" does the track justice. Backed by a fat downtempo beat, the distorted 303-reminiscent synth line cuts through the mix in a way that's impossible to ignore. Strain Rate Tensor rounds up the previous three cuts, also in a very dancefloor-friendly manner. Bubbly main lead and anxiety-inducing pad sneaking in the background seem to be the main thing, until another synth hits you as a counterpoint and flips everything upside down. Proper no-nonsens stuff!! (comes on 180grams vinyl) More

After a career in electronic music spanning more than twenty years and so far yielding over fifty vinyls under a host of guises, ALEX CORTEX now delivers his latest treat, his own label, RANGE. It will be home, of course, to his own music, but will also welcome guests that in some way played a role on his path. No specific rules have been set as to musical styles, very much alike the diversity ALEX CORTEX is known and respected for. The thread holding it all together is authenticity. More

Legendary techno rebel Alex Cortex joins TRUST for an EP that wears his nonconformist creed proudly on its sleeve. 'We Run Your Life' takes center stage here, a massive electro banger and electronic warfare anthem for a dystopian future, its programmatic vocals striking a fitting resemblance to UR's most political output. Bouncy beat experiment 'Foam Rubber Landscaping' and dizzily spiralling 'Memory Overload' complete this triptych of techno rebellion. First release in TRUST's new 'Covert Systems' series, limited quantity.

KILLEKILL herewith announces the start of a sub label focussing the housier side of what we like. KILLEKILL HOUSE TRAX starts with the release of a great track by ALEX CORTEX. Quite uptempo but groovy as hell “Oh Yeah” comes along with a strong reminiscence to classic chicago house with its strong bassline and the catchy vocal sample. TYREE COOPER added a simple but well working piano and packed the original into an even more classic outfit.
Oh Yeah!

15 years have passed since Alex Cortex began to create his own vision of electronic music - timeless and beyond trends, without a buzz or hype, steadily winning the following of DJs and home-listeners, collectors and critics worldwide. His style can be described as unpredictable to a certain point, while maintaining high aesthetic standards; playful with quotes and references, always low-key and focused on psychedelic immersion into sound
that shifts the attention from the artist to the music. 'Kihon' is a very personal effort, as suggested by the self-portrait on the cover that puts ear, eye, and mouth -reception and production- into context. The carefully elaborated design of this gatefold double LP speaks as a whole and in true minimalist fashion about the passing of time, without ever declaring nostalgia to be a means for itself. This also reflects in the music. Alex Cortex evades large gestures and obvious quotes, but is certainly conscious of locating his album within a framework of references to other works of electronic music that are important for his own musical evolution. In 11 nameless tracks, 'Kihon' takes us on a journey through organic worlds of sound that invites us to flow with the music and connect with the feelings contained in it. The title 'Kihon' that relates to Japanese martial arts translates to 'basics' or 'fundamentals', the training of which does not even cease when reaching master grades. Those basics that are passed on beyond time are also the foundation of this album. By concentrating on the bare essentials, the music begins to speak, turning the album into a harmonic whole. 'Kihon' therefore is also a return to
listening, away from a utilitarian perception of music as a background sound. This does not mean it would not work perfectly well in a club context -in the right hands it indeed does- but more notably, 'Kihon' is a work of art worth your attention and destined to stand the test of time.

Alex Cortex´ “Unshell” is the follow up to his acclaimed “I Won´t Conform” (POM22) and the foretaste for his upcoming album which is going to be released on Pomelo this coming fall. “Unshell” features 4 modern dancefloor tracks in best Cortex style, characterized by tight rhythmic structures and a unique and irrestistible hypnotic power. From deep stumbling house grooves with piano stabs and a male vocal admiring´Your sexy moves´ and a Chicago Jacker with a repetitive voice on the A Side, to athmospheric dark techno with warped sound effects and breakbeat house layered with modulating 8-bit sounds on the flip, this record shows once more Alex Cortex´ skills to move off the beaten tracks in his very own style.

KILLEKILL002 comes from ALEX CORTEX solo. The A side track “TACKLE” is an old school minimalistic loop techno track with a weird bleepy melody inside. Made for the late hours on big PAs. B1 track “BEACH BASS” is the hit of this record: a deep house number with a bassline that hits your heart immediately and makes you smile and want to dance. A house hit as it should be! B2 “BOING BOING” is an uncommon, strange electro track that rounds up this ep and shows the wide range of styles that can be expected from this label. ALEX CORTEX has been releasing electronic music of all kinds since 1996 on labels like Source Records, Kanzleramt, Klang Elektronik, Pomelo, Platzhirsch and many more.

Going back to classics could fall so easily, luckily for Skudge Presents, the persistent and class-act of Mark Broom leaves the mediocre in its rubble.
Eric Cloutier: "Broom is a legend. i can't even count how many of his records i own. both of these are pure fire - loving it!" The kicking A-side, Moments1, with the high paced energy and flirtations with the Dutch classic style of Techno-House crossover brings a smile upon DJs and dancers alike - without going too much into nostalgia, this track is sure to find its way through the peak times. Moments2 on the flip submerges deeper into this record’s vibe, with a progression that throbs more than kicks, with a saw tooth lead that keeps the moody atmosphere intact.

The long awaited album on SKUDGE! The Pig on firing form here! We expect this on to go right off... double vinyl set. The LP features more pacey excursions while the additional 10" features more experimental and ambient material...BIG TIP! Label Copy: "Often referred to as 'The Pig' and rarely spotted without shades, Mike 'Aardvarck' Kivits has remained a compelling figurehead within the Dutch underground for decades, happily flitting between down tempo and high octane styles from release to release and generally sounding like no-one else out there. Kivits has developed a strong affiliation with the Skudge Records operation which commenced with his humongous remix of the Swedish act's "Convolution" in 2010. Having committed two full 12? releases to the Skudge Presents cause, news now arrives of a full Aardvarck long player on the label. Due for release in September, the cryptically-titled Co In Ci features eight new Aardvarck productions from Kivits and represents the ninth album the Dutch producer has released in the 13 years since his 2002 debut LP for Delsin."

After 2014's set of acclaimed releases on L.I.E.S, Creme Organization and Rush Hour, Jorge Velez comes to Skudge White to drop a proper dose of relentless subterranean Techno. 4 tracks created with the adventurous dancefloor in mind. This is the sound of Velez at full command. "Les Méandres" leads the heavy charge as factory rhythms carry a sinister, echoed call-and-response synth pattern. Next "Blue Bottle", the heart of the 12" according to Velez, brings volcanic, hissing synths to an intense peak over hammering rhythms. "Tunnel" is the sound of "the most intense moment on the floor when it's just a blur of all sounds and lights and the pound of the drums" says Velez. Furious and abandoned yet with the floor firmly in view.
"Hydrocution" ends the 12" with a hypnotic, shining metallic combination of rhythm and dissonant synths. The original artwork is by Pauline Gouablin, who co-created the artwork on Velez's "Territories" LP for L.I.E.S More
