Escaped from the Vault by Son of Zev

Back in a time when it was cheaper to buy synths from the thrift shop than to buy a computer and when mobile phones were tiny and couldn’t take photos, a young musician known as Son of Zev was performing Live Techno almost every week and working a crappy full time job. When doing neither of those things he was usually raving. Those gigs were often small raves in dirty warehouses, and grimy pubs and clubs and the occasional “big event”.
In between doing that, he would occasionally sequence and record some of the material and burn it on a CD to send off to promoters as a demo. These tracks featured on this mini EP are recorded straight to stereo, mixed and tweaked live. No editing, no multitrack fancy mixing, just raw. Never released and never uploaded...
Cut forward to 2021, and Son of Zev is clearing out old boxes of this ancient technology and stumbles across a backup CD-ROM. Poor and Pane were two of his dancefloor “bangers” of the time (although there was no such term) and capture the essence of those parties. Now they’ve escaped from the vault.

Domum Sinica by Acidalius

Slice presents Acidalius' new Ep Domum Sinica. A regular artist of Acid Slice nights in Melbourne and much like his live sets - this release brings a vibrant groove - laced with acid.

These recordings are from the last years' of the Pre-pandemic Period, during which Acidalius was constantly travelling between Australia and China with only his trusty Digitakt for company.
The tracks reflect on his experience of constant transition between the windy, pristine Victorian Southern Ocean coastlines (where Acidalius and Modal reside), the mega-city Shanghai (home of Prismatic Force/Shanghai Ultra), and rustic rural small towns of Jiangsu and Anhui Province.

"Looking forward to a time when we can all play, perform and party together again - Valens Acidalius, Anglesea, August 2020".

Highs and Lows

Slice Records presents Highs and Lows, Parts 1-6 by Lonely Faces.

Music inspired by movement. Dancing, flying, train travel... Michael Baum, aka Lonely Faces, takes an intelligent approach to electronic composition, creating techno favouring the use of analog equipment and traditional methods of sequencing.

Appreciated through headphones or blasted from a sizable sound reinforcement system, Highs and Lows Parts 1-6 has been engineered to accompany your journey. What ever your mode of transport.

Available on SpotifyBeatportiTunes and heaps more places.

Also available from our friends at Tempest Recordings is Lonely Faces "Silver Moon' LP, an aural experiment on classic analogue synthesizers, heavily influenced by classic techno and electro sounds.

Metamorph

The Metamorph: an ethereal cyber creature residing in a realm of fog and lasers, engineered by a gestalt techno hive-mind. It’s here to make you dance.

Metamorph is a collection of underground electronica inspired by global rave culture.
The tracks herein are a representation of the energetic, kinetic nature of modern dance music; ecstatic trance by way of gross vibration. Lovingly conceptualised, produced and curated for your cerebral consideration, Slice's Metamorph offers up a collision of techno, acid, psy-tech, and progressive tech-trance.

Many thanks to Clint Grierson (Point Zero Productions,) for providing the visual component to this release; to the musicians who spend their time perfecting their craft for us all to enjoy, Ben Heppel aka Stickleback for your ongoing support and brilliant mastering, and to everyone who sustains and evolves the worldwide phenomenon of electronic dance music.

dyLAB - Submission

Machine soul music crafted with love from his studio on the Mornington Peninsula, dyLAB presents Submission. This sub mission goes pretty deep, dragging down well below the flowing undercurrent.With this arsenal of analogue sounds, Submission invites you to come and share
it. dylab's 'Submission' is just a Slice of what this talented and prolific local artist has to offer for lovers of acid techno.

Available from:

dyLAB makes acid.
He is an English born but Melbourne based acid music producer.
Described as a “box banger”, he likes to tinker with his collection of analogue synthesisers and drum machines. He manipulates the sounds that come out of these machines, and shapes it into what some call essential melancholic dancefloor music. This music should be listened to in dark clubs or darker rooms.
Over the past 10 years he has crafted a solid body of music, releasing tunes on such labels as Acid All Stars, Handmade Acid, BWLR, Council House Records, Clan Destine Records, New York Haunted, Balkan Records, and TRAX, in addition to his own self released work via his Bandcamp site.

SIRC Interview

SIRC: a chat with Jimmi-Woods.


So how did SIRC begin?
Sirc ultimately began when I was messing around with a Korg M1 and Atari for sequencing with a good friend of mine Steve Bertschik in the early 90s. He went on to form Sonic Animation with some others and I needed to get my own gear. Decided on what I knew which was an M1 and an Atari. I then recorded some tapes and started experimenting but nothing serious.

What’s your personal journey in music production and performance? (Prior bands etc)
My journey into "serious" music was when I joined the band Angler who was at the time Marcus Bridges (guitar) and Neil Boyack (guitar) then Ben Bridges joined with drums. W started doing the live circuit around Melbourne and ended up recording 3 studio albums and two live albums. We managed to wrangler 4 star reviews in rolling stone magazine and other mags. Eventually the band started to fade between rehearsals but we still manage to record every now and then.

Tell us about the music influences that inspired you to produce? (Send me a link to a favourite track)
I think one of the biggest influences would have to be the Future Sound of London. Their album Lifeforms opened up my mind to what was possible in electronic music production.
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLK6SyYf83DTlWUSg4XXJmDInMf0fqASPB

What’s your favourite track from your EP? (And Why?)
Very hard to choose a favourite track from the EP. I think why your here stands out a bit more than the others because of the half time snare and double time hats. I enjoyed writing that one from a new perspective.

 

Can you reveal your most prized performance weapon and why?
The Elektron RYTM would have to be the best live performance tool I have ever used. Such great sequencing and sampler power in the studio with the added live performance scenes and modes. Such control and at the same time the ability to go crazy if you want.

When’s your Next Gig?
25th October at Tago Mago in Thornbury.
