For our next premiere, we look to a small label south of France called @House-Plants-Records. For their third ever vinyl release, they have enlisted the 27-year-old Parisian new-comer producer calling himself @Entrave.

With influences ranging from Autechre to Drexciya to E.R.P., all the way to vintage sounds like Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream, this producer brings a sonic palette that you will, no doubt, be familiar with. His production journey started 4 years ago and has been fueled by the sounds of gear like Acidlab Miami, an x0xb0x, a Korg Poly-61, Dreadbox NYC and various VSTs like SH-101, SH2 and JX3P.

The track selected by @DarkScienceElectro to premiere is the reverb-drenched final track on the release entitled 'Nebul4e'. For me, the track stood out on the record for its familiar approach to Electro themes while at the same time providing enough variation in the track's 4-minute run to make it sound fresh. Wandering volume levels modulating within the melodic sections of the track add to the spacey feel of the composition while 808 drums hold it all together.

Release date: March 15th

Re: Dark Science Electro PREMIERE

For this premiere we look to a long-time Electro-purveyor @Komarken-Electronics with a new project that he calls @Kleansounds

After making music for more than 12 years as Komarken Electronics, he came to a creative crisis in early 2018. He felt that he needed a fresh start and so KLEAN was born. He intends on releasing all of the music produced under this project on his own and all digitally. The production process is centered around the 'Elektron Octatrack' which is used as a sampler and sequencer for a few selected hardware synths. During the creative process he focuses as much of his attention as possible on the machines themselves and strays from looking at the computer screen as much as possible.

The track selected to premiere on @DarkScienceElectro is the short (but sweet track) 'MXRdriveLooP'. The track is a machine-funk approach that is as complicated as it is long, however, the track itself isn't short on character with its punchy bass, Dopplereffekt-esque synth stabs, and an overall feel that left me wanting more. Thankfully, the rest of the album shines as well, with the artist bucking the standard Komarken Electronics approach to dark Electro and branching into more uplifting feeling, broken-beat music. This album arrives on March first and can be purchased at the link below:

Our next premiere comes to us courtesy of the legendary Austrian label @TRUST who already have 35 vinyl releases under their belt beginning in 1998. Their newest effort comes from another Vienna-based duo calling themselves @MICROTHOL. The track selected by @DARKSCIENCEELECTRO to premiere is the doom-laced track 'Dissonanz'. This track absolutely shines on this release for its clever use of percussive modulation and interesting approach to melody, using mostly the bass line and industrial screeches/sweeps to give creepy, ambient body to the track while vocoders weave in/out of the track.

For this premiere we look to an old German colleague of mine, @Thomas-Kress, where we will be checking out his track from an upcoming VA comp on Robotmachine Records.

'Robotmachine Records' was founded in 2010 by Dynamik Bass System and has since released 17 offerings ranging from . The label's goal is to expose new talents within the Electro and Technobass music scene. The label finds a great balance between retro and future. With this release we look at the 'Elektro Süd Project' which is a series started by south German Electro producers Dynamik Bass System, Supremeja, Thomas Kress, and TecRoc. This project is also meant for the support of German-specific artists.

The track selected to premiere for @DarkScienceElectro is called 'Show Me'. Thomas Kress is a musician, producer and designer from Munich and has been producing music since the mid 90's with releases on Tropical Underground and Robotmachine Records. He uses a hardware approach to production with Digitone/Rev2 for FM synthesis and sound effects as well as Model D and Moog Mother-32 for bass sounds. The track itself was performed live and captured in Logic Pro.

For this installment of @DarkScienceElectro premieres, we look to the label @Lunar-Orbiter-Program for their 3rd premiere, this time for @cem3340cem3340

This new vinyl release features 6 hard-hitting tracks and one apropos intro track. As stated in a previous premiere @cem3340cem3340 produces music using only vintage gear and was happy to share that this release was composed using the 808, SH-101, Juno 60, Mono/Poly, Juno 106, Pro One, Korg Polysix, Trident, and the Jupiter 6. You can absolutely hear the analog tinge throughout the album as well as all his productions overall. The song that was selected by @DarkScienceElectro to premiere is called 'Glissando'. On this track, the Pro One-produced bass line absolutely stuns when combined with the quickly attacking arpeggio coming from the SH-101. This track and others on this record will become available on April 13th.

For this @DarkScienceElectro premiere, we will be taking a listen to a track from a new release from one of my personal favorite Electro artists of all-time. @MetaComplex

The track selected to premiere from his new, self-released album is the opening track entitled 'Blue Light District'. Sauntering in at 121 beats per minute, this track has the melancholoy glaze that fans of MetaComplex have grown to love. A straight-forward approach to percussive traits leave the track open to be drenched in beautiful soundscapes filled with perfectly crafted delays and swooping pads. The rest of the album is absolutely stunning and comes highly recommended by @DVS NME

https://soundcloud.com/dvsnme/premiere- … -premieres

Aquatronics is an up-and-coming artist that has chosen to keep their identity hidden for the time being. The track 'Frequency' is a low-key Electro jam remindful of early Boris Divider on Drivecom - Simple pads seesaw over the track, creating an eerie vibe while the rhythm on the track does all the heavy lifting. Check out the premiere track now.

Robyrt Hecht is a Liepzig based producer and DJ who runs label, YUYAY Records. He has released his own tracks on his own label as well as releases on RAND Muzik Recordings with XY0815. Int Main is also Liepzig based with releases most well-known on Brokntoys.

The track selected by DVS NME to premiere for Dark Science Electro is the second track on record entitled 'Today'. It features galluping hi-hats, fun synth stabs and a standard bass line that keeps your head nodding throughout the track.

For our next @DarkScienceElectro premiere we hear a track from Rotterdam-based modular heroes @AnimisticBeliefs

This @Cultivated-Electronics release comes after a highly sought after release from the duo on @Solar_One_Music in 2018. This 5 track EP is a lovely blend of Electro as well as some Electro-leaning Techno. The wax also includes a remix of the title-track by none other than @The-Exaltics

The track selected to premiere for @DarkScienceElectro is my favorite on the record and is entitled 'Resequenced DNA'. It stands out to me for its pushing/pulling rhythm sequences and ghostly, haunted house-style pads. The track also features fantastically modulated arpeggios and a simple, yet effective, bass line. This release will officially drop at the end of March.

For the next @DarkScienceElectro premiere we look to the southern United States for a check-in with Electro veteran @Cygnus on @CPUrecords

With a long history of releases beginning in 2006, this Texas resident presents a brand new EP called 'Deep Analysis'. The track selected by @DVSNME to premiere for @DarkScienceElectro is entitled 'Sheffield Bleep'. The song was composed using Digitakt, Analog4 , Roland SH-01, Ableton and a Vocoder, This vocal track's central theme is an ode to the mighty @CPUrecords done over an Jazzy Electropop feeling track with a Roland CR-78 providing the rhythm. This track is my personal favorite on the record, however, I would also say that this release as a whole is absolutely worth checking out. It is on pre-order now and will be shipping out on or around May 3rd, 2019.

Our next premiere comes courtesy of Italian Electro label @FU-ME-rec - Their next release is the debut release from @Arp220

@Arp220 is the output of one woman from the east coast of the US named Enif. Recorded and mixed in the Applied Research Recording Laboratory, this release recalls the cosmically exploitative and scientifically curious sounds/themes of dreamy Electro as well as exploring the deep and muscular bass tones of early Minimal Wave and EBM. Rooted in the Post Punk restlessness, ARP220 re-interprets the sound to narrate a cyberpunk scenery. From down-tempo EBM to obscure dark Electro, deadly fat bass lines are constantly pumping under her vocoded voice. This EP will be available on April 15th

This premiere comes to us from an artist that is no stranger to Electro music, @Plant43 - On top of a choice artist, we also have the pleasure of hosting another premiere for the mighty @CPUrecords

This track comes from the recently released 'Three Dimensions' 2xLP which comes hot on the heels of his 2018 Ambient release on Shipwrec, which @DarkScienceElectro also did a premiere for and can be found here: Dvsnme – Premiere-plant43-banished-voices-shipwrec - Where the 2018 Ambient release focused more on soundscapes and an overall feel, this release is firing on all cylinders, bringing beats back to the forefront of the sonic journey.

The track selected to premiere for Dark Science Electro utilizes all the techniques that you have grown to love about the production style of @Plant43. Fast moving hi-hats, epic pads, driving bass lines, beautiful melodies, and syncopated arpeggios are all eagerly used on this track and throughout the record as well. This is the stand-out track on the album for me, however, this release is riddled with everything you love about this veteran producers approach to writing Electro music.

For this @DarkScienceElectro premiere we look to a lesser-known producer from Paris named @RaymondDBarre for his first full-length release on @Maturre Records

Raymond D. Barre (aka René Couteau) arrives on Maturre after a small EP on @Nocta-Numerica in 2016 and, this time around, delivers 8 tracks that range from Electro to Synthwave. This effort on the cassette-label is clean, concise and recommended.

The track selected by @DVSNME to premiere is the final track on the release. This track conjures up visions of cave-exploration, with it's deep reverb, slow BPM and chilling pad-layering throughout the track. You can pick this up on April 12th.

Next up for @DarkScienceElectro premieres we have Electro duo calling themselves 'Crossmods' @user-421462996 - This EP comes to us from Croatian label @CrobotMuzik

Crossmods is Cédric and Steeven who maintain a relatively low profile since joining the Electro community a couple of years ago. One member is a longtime DJ and fan of Electronic music and the other is actually a Rock musician. Together they have been putting together some really notable newcomer Electro.

The track selected by @DVSNME to premiere is the opening track of the EP entitled 'Electric Diamond'. The track sneaks in with a downplayed bassline and then, after a couple of minutes the track evolves into something deeper and darker, serving up pads, thumping bass drums and dazzling effects. This release (Synthesizer EP) is available digitally from Crobot Musik's Bandcamp page.

Next up for @DarkScienceElectro premieres we take a listen to a release on @PrivatePersons for modular synth-scientists @London-Modular-Alliance

London Modular Alliance is a collective that lies somewhere between a shop and a cult. From their base in the former industrial warehouses of Hackney Wick, London Modular have been designing their own cases, working out practical ways of chaining multiple synths for live performance, selling units from their shop front (counts artists including Aphex Twin, Mumdance and Radiohead and more among its customers), and taking themselves on the road to run workshops and gigs.

The track selected from this six-track EP is the mysterious 'Oscillator Reflux'. Certainly not a dancefloor banger, however, this track's beauty captivated me from the start. Its lush pads and sweeping bass line create a comfortable. almost dreamy, feel that follows through the entire track. Although not representative of the entire release, this track really got me in the feels. Make sure to check out the rest of the record for a taste of their more dancefloor-friendly tracks.

For this premiere we take a listen to a new side-project from a well-known Electro veteran under the name 'Empty Orchestra' for his own imprint @Transparent-Sound

This release features a classic Electro track by the label boss Orson (as Empty Orchestra), alongside remixes by Brighton-based electronic producer @AleroMay and Malta based @Acidulant - The track selected to premiere for @DarkScienceElectro is one of the remixes from the EP by 30 year old artist Acidulant.

This track was recorded late 2018. In this remix, Acidulant brings forward a twist of melodic Electro music mixed with dark textured Braindance synth-work and bass lines. The track builds up slowly with a heavy melodic approach and then transforms into a darker rhythmic voyage inspired by the tones of the original track. The track was composed using Korg MS20, Roland TR-8, Korg Radias, Roland SH-01a and a Eurorack Modular Synth.

This record will be released on May 6th, 2019

South UK artist Alex Jann returns to Censor for the second time with three tracks and a remix of the main track from Rotterdam-based duo @AnimisticBeliefs

The track selected by @DVSNME to premiere is the Animistic Beliefs remix of the title track. The duo create a darker texture in their remix of the song, sending the vocal and lead sound straight through the stratosphere via complex bass and arpeggio phrases that filter and stalk around the lead. This record comes out the 9th of May and is available for pre-order now.

Re: Dark Science Electro PREMIERE

For this @DarkScienceElectro premiere we take a listen to a personal favorite artist of mine that calls himself @commuter - This release comes courtesy of @bassagenda

Commuter has been actively releasing music since 2004 and has been producing music since 1997. His production relies heavily on software synths and less heavily on hardware, which he has been collecting for 20+ years. Commuter is a great example of the old adage "It's the ear, not the gear". This producer also walks the line between Techno and Electro in a way that I don't think a lot of producers can do so gracefully.

The expression selected by @DVSNME to premiere is 'Commuting Xperience'. The track is a fantastic composition that features the Model D synth as well as a handful of VSTs. The song percolates with staccato arpeggios and a thunderous bass line remindful of Dopplereffekt. This is one of many great tracks on the album; So much so that I had a hard time picking a track to premiere. This album is highly recommended by me.

For this premiere we look to Canada for a listen to a track from the 12th album by @AetherPilot

Claude Charnier is the 53 year old conceptual artist behind the project, based in Montreal. Having been producing since the late 80's, the Aether Pilot sound is strongly inspired by film scores of that era. He told me that the main goal with this project is creating a soundtrack for a dark, retro, futuristic world. He draws influence for the project from acts like Front 242, Kraftwerk, Jean-Michel Jarre and Anthony Rother.

All of the music composed by Claude is done in his home studio, where his list of gear is quite impressive. A few of the standouts include: Minibrute, Drumbrute, Rytm, Analog Four, MS-20, Radias, Microzwerg, Sub37, Minitaur, and a MicroModular vocoder.

The track selected by @DarkScienceElectro to premiere is the opening track of the album entitled 'De Grands Vaisseaux'. This track brings together all the components of his vision, balancing a dystopian-feel with inspiring soundscapes, brilliantly composed simple rhythm structures and haunting vocoder use.

The song selected from 'Scientia' to premiere for @DarkScienceElectro is the opening track of the vinyl by 44-year old producer @Dexterous_Numerics. The North Kent-based musician brings the fire with a sound that is remindful of E.R.P. or Plant43. Smooth, calming pads and a simple (yet thoughtful) melody backed up to a progressive sea of synth modulations and rhythm changes. This release is available now.

Next up we preview an upcoming release on @2020VisionRecordings for the one and only @CarlFinlow

Carl A. Finlow is a man who needs no introduction as he has been a cornerstone of Electro music since his first release in 1993. After countless EPs and a number of LPs on various labels, Carl brings his gorgeous, intelligent brand of Electro music to @2020VisionRecordings with a new 4 track EP called 'Electronic'.

The song picked to premiere for @DarkScienceElectro is the final composition on the record called 'Flaw'. The track was composed using no physical hardware, using only able Ableton, for the create process and a Allen & Heath desk for mixing purposes. 'Flaw' is complete with beats that would make the late great Prince proud while firmly rooted with layers of electronic trickery. The entire release is an absolute slam dunk and is highly recommended by @DVSNME
