L+P-2 is Rivet's second album following his acclaimed debut, On Feather and Wire, released on Editions Mego in 2020. The wheels were already in motion for a subsequent album on the same label, but tragedy struck. Peter "Pita" Rehberg, the legendary owner of Editions Mego, suddenly passed away at only 53 years old, leaving the experimental electronic music community in a state of pitch-black grief. Rivet was among the many deeply affected by this loss. The inspiration and support from Rehberg had propelled Rivet to create at a level he himself was uncertain he had mastered. For Rivet, Rehberg's death felt like the death of music.

However, that brooding sentiment was abruptly shattered when Rivet's beloved dog and companion, Lilo, was diagnosed with incurable cancer just a couple of months later. They were inseparable, and now they would be separated nonetheless. The only way Rivet could cope with this double blow was to compose—for Lilo, for Pita, for his own sanity. L+P-2 is the result.

While the album naturally emerges from a place of despair, it's remarkably comforting. Partly, this stems from Rivet's singular ability to make machines not only sound human but also act human—sincere and warm, yet flawed. In more than one track on L+P-2, you'll encounter a distinctive melody and a gnarly bassline dancing hand in hand with Rivet's eccentric and captivating drum patterns. Then, seemingly on a whim, the melody takes off on its own, leaving the faithful bassline behind—much like a dear friend that suddenly vanishes from your life without warning. Yet life goes on, and so does the music. But never unchanged. Never.

L+P-2 is an album of lamentation, yet also of resolve—a dedication to those who go through life losing more than their share because they always carry too much.

Can you feel it? Time moving faster and faster. ''The next thing'' is always more appealing than what you're holding in your hands right now. But is it better? Well, perhaps. Perhaps not. At this pace, can you really tell? So. Just like Magritte's pipe wasn't a pipe, this is not a record. This is an invitation. An embracement. You see, this round disc may be white, but it is not empty. It is filled with our creativity. Our time. And now we would like you to fill this plain, white sleeve with your creativity and your time. We want you to share this with us. To be a part of this release. To be apart of our SELF. This music spoke to you in some way, and now we want you to speak to us. The language is up to you - do whatever you feel like! Some of you will paint, some of you will print, some of you will do things we couldn't even think of. All of you will be a part of the movement. A movement against the one-sidedness of the producer-consumer relation ship. A movement against the hurried Zeitgeist. A movement against the grain. We are the Swedish Electronic Liberation Front. We don't have customers. We don't have followers. We only have members. And you're invited to join us.

Rivet is back on Kontra-Musik with a classy funk affair that will be luring us ever deeper into dancefloor delirium. It is a matured Rivet we meet on Bear Bile EP. The complexity of sound and composition of his latest EP, Driftwood continues here. Sometimes we hear Rivet complain that his production and release rate is to slow. When listening to his resent music you definitely understand why. Rivets music contains all the classic elements, but decomposed, manipulated and built together again in his own updated, very distinguished way.

Fresh of the 'Balancing Point' LP, Skudge levitates into 2017 with tracks from a well-known place... Infectious groove and stabs reflects our most fond warehouse memories. The A-side track has that special Skudge vibe that managed to establish them as a force to reckon with. As proven with the LP from last year, things are sounding and looking as exciting as ever!

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. A sure-shot 2 tracker is what we need and what we get

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
