Here's the latest update for my mailorder/distro. Sorry for the large size folks...its been a while since I posted and hopefully people will find some records you're interested in. - geoff/cutups WRECKED Update February 15th, 2005 d.i.y. electronic music & media mailorder http://wrecked-distro.com NEWS Its been a long time since the last update. There's been alot of new titles in, so check the back stock if you haven't been on the site in a while. The motivation for sending this out was a new batch of records from the Peace-Off family of labels, including Peace-Off, Mutant Sniper, Bang-A-Rang and Damage. They each have these very specific sub genres, but in the end they're generally hot tunes. This batch includes records from Doormouse, Krumble and a new signing, Mr. Kill, plus a mix CD from C64, a full length from Bristol's Anarchic Hardrive, and the formidable Invasion from Dimension XXX comp, which is seriously one of the best around. Also in recently we got the first releases from Terminal Dusk records, which is a sort of re-imagining of the Sonic Terror label, which includes a CD comp and a 12" sampler, "Crimson". It's a great comp that spans a wide range of sounds, but concentrates on a forward-thinking mixture of melody and hard broken beats. Some other notable records include the Bibio record on Mush, John Tejada's post-rock side project "I'm Not A Gun" on City Centre, the Solvent CD on Ghostly, Amon Tobin's "Splinter Cell 3" soundtrack, an amazing melodic 12" from Deru on Merck, the Duran Duran Duran CD (finally!) on Cock Rock Disco (much talked about RE: the Pitchfork review!), three parts of the bizarro Nurse With Wound "Angry Electric Finger", Venetian Snare's latest return to noisecore "Winnipeg is a Frozen Shithole", some really good new things from the Suburban Trash camp from Enzym (including a Noize-creator remix) and Lilo, the most recent full-length from M83, which hits with a similar intensity to their last, but with a much more live sound, the first two installments of Analord, Aphex Twin's analog-acid project, the Enduser 12" "Manuever" on Soothsayer, and a ton more. Plenty more good records in there too. I also picked up all the releases from local techno label Technoir audio. Which happen to be mostly by local Pittsburgh artist Shawn Rudiman. Its good stuff that touches on detroit techno and occasionally verges on ebm, with loads of atmosphere and futuristic soul. I'm also making some pins available. I have the "Rampage" character image pins available as a set, and I'm working on making various label images available soon. Coming soon we've got a number of things from Ant-Zen/Hymen/Mirex, including the most recent Somatic Responses album, "Pounded Mass", the Wasted compilation and more. Keep your ears pealed, and I'll make sure to shoot out some more regular updates. NEW IN STOCK // for everything in stock and audio samples, check the site C64 - Transitional Days - Peaceoff Mix1 - CD - $12.00 A twenty-nine track mix of hard-hitting breakcore from Toronto's C64, showcasing a number of tracks from the peace-off family of labels, as well as other future-thinking broken beats.

Various Artists - Invasion From XXX Dimension - Mutant Sniper 3CD - CD - $14.00 One of the most absurd and over-the-top breakcore comps of our time. 15 cheery happy-fun-time tunes from all the kids who love their laptops.

Various Artists - Crimson - Terminal Dusk LP1 - 12 - $8.00 Various Artists - Crimson - Terminal Dusk 1 - CD - $10.00 Crimson introduces your ears to many different styles of eclectic electronic music ranging from broken gabber hits and ragga drill breaks to melodic atmospheres and dirty basslines. The journey into Crimson begins with Doormouse grabbing your attention with his juxtaposition of cartoon samples and rugged live drums and twisting them into a hip-hop reggae mashup. EmotionalJoystick follows with a happy techno ditty filled with intricate melodies and classic techno sounds. Jonas the plugexpert keeps the flow and changes it up a bit with some mild ragga-jungle. Eight Frozen Modules gives a lesson in electro with some downtempo madness. Chevron brings some mutated atmospheres that transform into spastic amen breaks and floating synths. Mixing it up, Duran Duran Duran pushes you into the pit with his punishing gabber stylings. While you're in the pit Soundmurderer crushes you with his frantic amen breaks and deep bass tones. For the second half of the disc Wisp takes you to the next level with precision drilling snares and drifting melodies. Rusuden follows with eastern influenced deep groove and haunting soundscapes. Exillon creates a somber atmosphere with scattered rhythm programming and eerie echoed synths. Line 47 pushes further into the realms of dark drills and symphonic movements with his track. Next up is Shitmat, who delivers some screaming ragga-breaks filled with distorted gabber hits. Ill Cosby continues to bash the sound system with an in your face jungle elimination. Enduser defines dark breaks with a solid jungle track. Not Breathing brings us the next track which has an electro feel with some pounding rhythms. Pale finishes off the compilation with mind bending scattered breaks and sinister atmospheres. Ratana - Dreamscapes - RatanaMIX 2004 - CD - $5.00 A fluid mix of drum and bass recorded in 2004 by Pittsburgh's Adam Ratana. Spanning a variety of moods, it moves from harder material into more funky musical sounds. Audion - Kisses - Spectral 15 - 12 - $9.00 MATTHEW DEAR has come on strong in the past year, but never heavier than this. "Kisses" is the debut of Matthew's new alias, featuring raw industrial drum beats and wild pitch synths. The title track is one of Dear's most popular cuts from his live set, "The Great Compromise" switches from nasty shuffle to 4/4 without remorse. Mommy and Daddy - Fighting Style Killer Panda - Kanine 112 - CD - $6.00 A brand new release from leading New York power couple MOMMY AND DADDY--EDMOND HALLAS and VIVIA SARRATT. With drum loops, fuzzed-out basslines and trade off boy/girl vocals, Mommy and Daddy sound like a tag team steel cage match between Le Tigre, Motörhead, B-52s and The Misfits. Black Octopus Lipstick Project - Foam Party - Peekaboo 1004 - CD - $8.00 Peek-A-Boo Records labelmates Black Lipstick and The Octopus Project team up for a joint effort after intensive laptop market tests by DJs at random Texas parties yielded booty-shaking results. An alternate title for this EP might be Converted Converted Thieves, as the Octopus Project take select tracks from Black Lipstick's hot-selling Converted Thieves and dissect them on their laptops, tinkering with 'Lipstick's hot lix to craft new sounds and songs. Using 'Lipstick's rock beats and squalling guitars, The Octopi create something original and entirely thumpin'. Amid hypnotic bass and drum loops, guitar riffs, piano riffs, and even voices are recycled, reversed and reverberated; in fact, 'Lipstick's "off-tune" poetic stylings yield a new alien language. Like rusted bicycle parts in a beautiful scrap-metal sculpture, the end product bears little resemblance to the original except for the parts from which it was constructed. The four remixes are of course cool and dance-y, Octopus Project-style, and are annexed by an unreleased Black Lipstick bonus track from the Thieves sessions: "Funky Soldiers," featuring lead vox by bassist Steven Garcia Bibio - fi - Mush 234 - CD - $14.00 Recommended to Mush by Marcus Eoin of Boards of Canada, the debut release from central England's Stephen Wilkinson (aka Bibio) is a triumph of saturation, distortion, and obscurity. Comprised of seventeen ambient songs built on samples of his own work rather than the work of others, fi is rich in musical imagery. Using manipulated live instrumentation, field recordings, and a strong portion of effects, Bibio's musical influences-- The Incredible String Band, Joao Gilberto, My Bloody Valentine, Tortoise, and the producers of Warp Records-- seep into his compositions. Bibio's debut is a revelation in the emotional power of lo-fi ambient compositions and clearly establishes him as a producer who has developed his own unique voice. Wilkinson is a self-taught musician from a rural area in central England often referred to as The Black Country. His love for sound and noise led him to the University of London and the study of Sonic Arts, where he discovered experimental electronic acts such as Aphex Twin, Autechre, and most importantly Boards of Canada. NNNJ - Corrugated Recycles - Agriculture 32 - 12 - $8.00 The debut EP from downtempo/roof-music pilot NNNJ (pronounced "inch"). Four soft, warm downtempo ballads, which dodge the well-known genres, while winking at them from across the room. Dub, drum'n'bass, trip hop, and post-IDM programming all check in as influences, but are overrun in NNNJ's unique use of melody, bass, dynamics, and gritty, rugged rhythms. David Last - Posca Kid - Agriculture 37 - 12 - $8.00 A booty-banging EP companion piece to the Push Pull full-length from Brooklyn hypno-groover DAVID LAST. Three cuts that while rhythmically grounded in reggae, pump more than enough bang to get the dancefloors throbbing. Solvent - Apples and Synthesizers - Ghostly 35 - CD - $15.00 A striking mix of joyous melodies, voltage controlled precision, and dark basslines that swirl about on the surface. Various Artists - SMM Vol. 2 - Ghostly 29 - 12 - $8.50 A lovely Ghostly International collection with tracks from CEPIA, CHRISTOPHER WILLITS, and LUSINE. Various Artists - Pop Ambient 2005 - Kompakt 109 - LP - $13.00 LP version. 8 of the 12 CD tracks, including: Markus Guentner, Gas, Triola, Ulf Lohman, Pass Into Silence, Popnoname, DJ Koze, Klimek. Bola - Gnayse - Skam 15 - 2LP - $18.00 M83 - Before the Dawn Heals Us - Mute 9281 - CD - $16.00 Before The Dawn Heals Us is M83's powerful follow up to their recent album Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts, which has achieved cult-like status in North America. Recorded and produced in the French countryside during June of 2004 by M83, consisting of one Anthony Gonzalez, Before the Dawn Heals Us contains more vocals and live instrumentation than previous releases. Lusine - Serial Hodgepodge - Ghostly 37 - 2LP - $16.00 Jeff McIlwain, the man behind Lusine, continues to shame the bloated IDM market with beats that kick and hiccup under fluttering melodies, confidently exhibiting the power of suggestion rather than overt display, in arrangements thick with emotion and complexity. Shadow Huntaz - Corrupt Data (Instrumentals) - Skam 12INS - 2LP - $18.00 Skam records began 2004 by releasing Corrupt Data, the Shadowhuntaz first full length album, featuring the vocal work of 3 American mc's; Non Genetic, Dream and Breaff (with a guest appearance from K's Eyes) and the considerable production talents of Hollands Don and Roel Funcken (Funckarma). Following on from Corrupt Data and the subsequent 4 track EP release; Vampire, Skam are proud to release a strictly limited instrumental edition of Corrupt Data on double 12" vinyl, no fancy artwork, just Funckarmas' raw beats and atmospherics in the nude! No fuss and no mc's. I'm Not A Gun - Our Lives on Wednesdays - City Centre Offices 22CD - CD - $15.00 I'm Not A Gun - Our Lives on Wednesdays - City Centre Offices 22 - LP - $14.50 It's a busy life being John Tejada, a man who has graced some of the world's most highly regarded independent labels with his signature presence -- from the mighty Playhouse to Detroit's 7th City and onto Ferox, Jazzanova, Plug Research, Scape and even Sub Pop -- all the way to his own Palette recordings imprint. But it's together with Japanese multi-instrumentalist Takeshi Nishimoto, however, that John has produced perhaps his most remarkable work -- an acoustic overflow of ideas and post-rock configurations known as I'm Not a Gun -- a project that has already delighted with a debut album for CCO entitled Everything at Once. For the last 5 years, almost without fail, John Tejada and Takeshi Nishimoto have swept aside their busy schedules every Wednesday to record material for their I'm Not a Gun project. John plays the drums, the guitar and his trusted laptop, while Takeshi completes the equation with his signature guitar and bass padding. Their music is not only a homage to the post-rock soundscaping that Chicago has become so well known for, it's an advancement of its sound. There's an intuitive, slowly considered aesthetic here that echoes the patches, plug-ins and modules that dominate Tejada's electronic constructions -- maybe the music starts with a whir or with a bit-crushed malfunction, or maybe the changes and transitions are made with the help of errant digital devices and tricks learnt for an entirely different purpose. Or maybe, when it's been a particularly hectic week, all we get to hear are the sounds made by a gently strummed guitar and the dusty sweep of the drums. Whatever the mood, Our Lives on Wednesdays chronicles those moments withdrawn from the every day, just two musicians making music they love, taking their time. Who knows what they'll come up with next Wednesday? There's a lifetime of tracks to discover until then. Dub Tracktor - Faster EP - City Centre Offices 28 - 12 - $10.00 These five new tracks give you a good idea of the direction Anders Remmer has chosen for his new album. Elements already present on the More Or Less Mono album feature even more prominently in this new work. What used to be pure electronic music has turned into a one-man band. Anders focuses more and more on his guitar, bass and voice, constructing beautifully crafted indie hymns. The title track 'Faster' and 'Right / Wrong' bring back memories of classic tunes like 'I Don't Care'. Combining his love for floating guitar hooks and simple though effective beats, Dub Tractor evokes a time when acoustic instruments were constantly employed in new and unpredictable ways. 'Cirkel' and 'Not At The Lab' are two wonderful instrumental tracks, which highlight Anders' skills of harmony, dub and structure. Finally, 'A Meter' makes you wonder what would have happened to music if the iBook had been invented in the 60s Merzbow - Batztoutai Material Gadgets - RRR 6 - 2CD - $12.00 Repressed, new packaging in paper sleeve with xerox cover; cheaper than before (but less money, too). Sub-titled: De-Composed Works 1985-86. Disk 1 is a remix of the long o/p RRR DBLP (with this new retrospective note: "Fake electro acoustic music dedicated to GRM/INA, Wergo, DG, Phillips & Erato recording artists"). Disk 2 is called "Loop Panic Limited," and is a recording of loud/dense cut ups from various records; recorded 1985-86. One of the classic Merzbow recordings Sylvie Marks and Hal 9000 - Krazeee - Bpitch Ctrl 98 - CD - $15.00 Sylvie Marks and Hal 9000 - Krazee - Bpitch Ctrl 98 - 2LP - $17.00 With their debut album on BPitch Control, Sylvie Marks and HAL9000 tell an audible tale: a tonal cross section of their life experiences, which is coupled again and again via the click of the bass to their reminiscences. Thus music was/is always the common thread of the Ariadne -- for both -- that through the labyrinth of life made expressiveness the chief premise. If Sylvie Marks surprised her piano teacher in former times with improvised playing, this is very much a characteristic, perhaps she is just compelled to do so: by her many years of experience with the structure and apparently unlimited possibilities in the field of electronic music (everything goes!), she exchanged the fixed limitations of improvisation freely compared with the status quo. In this sense one finds that in Sylvie Marks and HAL9000, this path is traversed all over again, which translates today as a variety of perspectives and a real 'being into it'. With their first album, they composed Krazeeee, which clearly suggests them to be like the original maxi of the same name. They enlighten the traces and origins of techno, which are distinct and thereby steer a sure instinct for the substantive beat. Both do not forget to present however the diagonally unusually picturesque gesture, which with each of the releases already provided on the 7" Label of the same name, HAL9000 makes for pure joy: a bit off-beat, slightly disturbing and the sideways swimming of sounds and pictures, these developments leave all control to a straightened-out bass line. Along with the already long list of past publications, the publication of Krazeeee on BPitch Control demonstrates, how very much Sylvie Marks and HAL9000 must have sharpened their musical vision over the years. With 'Baby take me a little bit higher' (BPC037),'We electric' (BPC051) and 'Bad women meets zen on the street' (BPC058) the two play about on BPitch Control. As well as on Ellen Alliens' 'Weiss Mix' (BPC047) the two already collaborated some time ago with 'Baby I'm Electric'. The fact that Sylvie Marks has a friendship of many years with Ellen Allien is to be suspected. Thus it is now time to burn -- and to let burn. Greg Davis - Diaphanous - Lux Nigra 27 - LP - $10.00 This Lux Nigra vinyl is set to coincide with the issue of his third album Somnia for the Kranky label, collecting drone-oriented material Davis has been working over the last couple of years, and features an extended track and 2 bonus cuts to that fine full length. The lengthy a-side piece 'Diaphanous' included here, in fact, is an extended version of an edit which will appear on the CD-only Kranky album, and finds Davis in his most organic and involving form yet, playing toy harmonica, piano and a six string acoustic guitar that's then slowly and breathlessly treated by a delicately handled laptop. The tones that come out of the process bear little immediate resemblance to the instrument of origin, taking on extended and diffuse forms of their own. As a bonus, the two b-side pieces are exclusives, 'Deterior' may otherwise be located somewhere near the crisp improvisation of someone like Rosy Parlane or perhaps a less abrasive Fennesz, 'Swell' is almost entirely benign, beautifully weighted waves of melody, allowed to gradually unspool, like finely spun wool Eliot Lipp - Eliot Lipp - Eastern Developments 11 - CD - $13.00 Recorded in a shifty Chicago apartment on just that old 70's synth and an equally questionable sampler, Lipp creates tracks that sound far beyond his limited means. Lipp's fluid instrumentals are a fresh to the ears, yet they already sound like classic cuts with dust settled deep into the grooves. MCs would love to get all over these tracks, but the songs just don't require them. Enjoy the layered moments of spacey synth and gritty drums. Dez Williams - Hex Abuse - AI 12 - 12 - $10.00 For Ai, Dez has amplified the emphasis on straighter techno styles, unashamedly directed at the dancefloor. 'No mean feat' rolls out with an assurance that betrays Dez as a long-term operator -- think of one of Jeff Mills' self-confessed secret weapons -- the desperately underrated Bandulu. Tough drums with a wicked twist, benign melodic floats over the top and a ruthless acid coda -- destructive stuff! 'Flob' is suffused with the lifeblood of classic detroit techno: equal parts magic Juan Atkins, melodies referencing Derrick May's 'Strings of life', and with a rhythmic mastery Carl Craig could unreservedly sanction. Flip the script for 'Emotional Blackmail' and the overwhelming spirit in time and place is still planet Transmat. Venerating these labels in time honoured tradition, has become something of a consuming past-time for dancefloor adepts and addicts -- Dez here betrays at once his indebtedness and a strong commitment to taking the legacy forwards Deru - Trying to Remember - Merck DU - 12 - $8.00 25 year old Deru, originally from Chicago, now residing in LA, comes with his first 12" on Merck. First seen on Clicks &Cuts 3, he recently contributed a deft remix of Tiki Obmar for their Seasons CD, and his debut full length Pushing Air was released on Neo-Ouija in 2003. 'Trying to Remember' has emotional atmospheres layered with hip-hop beats; its flow showing a clear awareness of sound design and structure. It is not a sequel to his last album, but instead departs from it in the direction of more density, personal involvement, and cohesiveness. All said, it's yet another exciting new release from Merck, featuring a vinyl exclusive remix of 'Next Door' by Deru himself.. Intentionally released just in time for the frigid winter, and warm nights inside. Various Artists - Detroit Underground Vol. 3 - Detroit Underground 3 - 12 - $11.00 From the ruins of the 'birthplace of techno,' Detroit Underground: Volume 3 continues aurally mapping IDM spaces from the 313 and beyond. Features new compositions from Funkarma (Kero remix), Himawari, Jimmy Edgar (Kero remix), Direkt Jive and DeLien, and further establishes Detroit Underground at the forefront of contemporary electronic aesthetics. AFX - Analord 02 - Analord 2 - 12 - $10.00 2nd volume of this amazing series. SIDE A: 'Phonatacid', 'Laricheard'. SIDE B: 'Pissed up in se1', 'Bwoon du AFX - Analord 01 - Analord 1 - 12 - $10.00 These records are the first in the eagerly anticipated Analord series. They are produced by Richard D. James. The style is rhythmic & melodic electronic music in the much-loved AFX style. The music is suitable for public performance as well as home listening. Rephlex strongly recommends this series, among its most entertaining and fulfilling music." SIDE A: Steppingfilter 101', 'Canticle drawl', 'MC4 acid'. SIDE B: 'Where's your girlfriend', 'Grumpy acid', 'Analord 158b'. Kid606 - Sugarcoated - Audraglint 112 - 10 - $10.00 On the heels of his fabulous Who Still Kill Sound, we offer two exclusive tracks from a man who needs little introduction. On Sugarcoated Miguel sets down the rocket-launcher for a moment and sounds, dare we say, happy... a psychedelic down-tempo number the likes of which hasn't been heard in the course of his ridiculously prolific output. The ambient B side is an honest ode to two very different minimalists. 'For Steve Reich and Jeff Mills' is more interested in using synthesis to suspend a moment than in destroying it via sampler mayhem. Gold Chains & Sue Chie - When The World Was Our Friend - Kill Rock Stars 420 - 2LP - $16.00 Vocal electro hiphop party jams. Duran Duran Duran - Very Pleasure - Cock Rock Disco 1 - CD - $15.00 Long awaited nutzoid splatterbreak full-length from Philly's Ed Flis aka Duran Duran Duran. Nine tracks of sliced and diced smashdown breakcore for the kids. Shawn Rudiman - Rubin's Place - Technoir Audio 1 - 12 - $7.00 "After the long wait, it's finally here. 4 cuts that redefine soul, funk, groove and one problematic life. Not the typical 4-cut, all drums techno EP by any means. Look for depth, melodies and a style described as "real smooth and then...BAMM@!"- Daniel "DBX" Bell. Diverse and cohesive all at the same time. We think you'll enjoy." - Technoir Audio site. w/ hand screened covers! Shawn Rudiman - Rhythm Sexy - Technoir Audio 2 - 12 - $7.00 "Rhythm Sexy" is a collection of dancefloor-friendly cuts tailored to those with a sense of melody, groove and funk. Shawn Rudiman / Arne Weinberg - Chord Control - Technoir Audio 3 - 12 - $7.00 Split EP of groovy chords and deep atmospheric techno. Shawn Rudiman - Odds Against Us - Technoir Audio 4 - 12 - $7.00 Four tracks of techno that go from rich 4AM dancefloor material to more uptempo new order-influenced cuts. Shawn Rudiman - Synthesexual - Technoir Audio 5 - CD - $8.00 A fifteen track tour of the evolution of shawn rudiman's detroit-influenced techno sound. He blends rich washes of sound to create deep, memorable techno of many different tempos and flavors. Shawn Rudiman - Synthesexual - Technoir Audio 5 - 12 - $7.00 The fifth installment from Pittsburgh's premier techno label finds Shawn Rudimen doing a mix of deep, soulful techno and lush downtempo that harkens to the roots of the detroit metroplex and beyond. Warm pads wash over 808 patterns and hand claps, melting away chaos and supplanting it with a very real bliss. Terminal11 - Left for Dead at a Desert Carnival - AIM 3 - 7 - $4.00 All caps baby..."ADVANCED IDEA MECHANICS IS PROUD TO RELEASE THE NEW 7" BY ARIZONAS TERMINAL 11... MIXING THE HARSH BREAKCORE WITH COMPLEX IDM STRUCTURES TERMINAL 11 WILL BRING AIM STRONG INTO 2005!!!" Super-glitchy breakcore with some melodic elements...one for vsnares fans. Cutups - Rampage 1-3 - Rampage 1 - button - $1.00 Three One-inch "WRECKED" buttons featuring each of the Rampage characters in their 8-bit glory. Venetian Snares - Winnepeg is a Frozen Shithole - Sublight 3 - CD - $12.00 Intense hardcore "gabber" session from Venetian Snares, intense noisecore assaults with the unified theme of the depressing icy cold existance of winnepeg manitoba. Chosen Few - Kold Dayz - VIP 8 - 12 - $10.50 Stripped-down sounding gabber, including "Chosen Paradise" with some classic Chuck D sample rehashes. Enzym - Abschnittsbevollmaechtigter - Bowa 12 - 7 - $9.00 Cut-up abstract beats and melodies. Enzym - Die Maus mit der Grashalmfloete (Noize Creator remixes) - Bowa 14 - 7 - $9.00 Two remixes of Enzym from Noize Creator. Melodic styles mixed with kicking broken beats. The flip is more cutup breaks that touches drum and bass, with some cut-up beat-boxing. Various Artists - Drop Name Records V.01 - Painfree Foundsound 3 - 2LP - $20.00 Awesome compilation of breakcore. 1. Main$tream- Drop Name Records 2. Killjoy- I Spit Fire In Your Face 3.
