Cultivated Electronics
Review: Berlin-based duo CYRK is comprised of Samy Goossens and Pascal Hetzel, and they've proven themselves to be a formidable force in the hinterland where electro and techno collide. Take this latest drop for Cultivated Electronics, which kicks off in earnest with the snarling, pumped up thrust of 'Attack Of The Blow Up Dolls'. 'Tsikey' keeps the mood nightmarish, but in a fun sort of way, with sprightly analogue synth lines cavorting over the slamming drums with glee. The techno element comes to the fore on the tightly wound, arp-charged 'Ahemait', and 'Needler' leans heavy on the funk without losing that stern demeanour that defines the CYRK output.

Review: With releases on Delsin, Electrix and Puzzlebox in his catalogue, it's fair to say that Dynarec is one of electro's most respected producers of the past 20 years - so it's fitting that he is making his debut on Cultivated Electronics. Kicking off with the wired, wiry funk of "Stop and Stall", Dynarec keeps Murder dance floor focused throughout. "First in Motion" sees him up the pace, embracing a hyper-speed funk rhythm and outer space melodies, while he slips into a more discordant direction on the swung electro and dissonant tones of "Specialized In Anything". On "Lowest Perceived Legitimacy", the release veers towards the visceral, with buzzing riffs unfolding over steely drums.

Review: The Hacker teams up with fellow French producer Commuter to bring some serious electro heat to Sync 24's label. Roentgen is a dark, dystopian take on the form, with echoes of Hacker's classic debut album, Melodies En Sous Sols. On "Roentgen Part 1" this takes the form of gurgling, ominous bass tones and eerie synths, while the second part leans even further towards menacing low end sounds, this time wrapped around a wiry rhythm. "RBMK" sees the pair take the tempo down a few notches, but still the same dark aesthetic remains, thanks to the use of a cold synth line. MMT-8's rugged dance floor version of "RBMK" completes this exemplary release.

Review: Mind Stealers was Morphology's last release on Cultivated Electronics back in 2017, and since then, the electro duo has released two artist albums on Firescope. This return visit to Sync 24's label see them focus on what they do best, namely delivering robust metallic rollers. "Sorace" and "Quidra" both revolve around tight, steely rhythms, with the former boasting squelchy atmospherics and the latter unravelling to the sound of gurgling 303 licks. Meanwhile, 'Teogre", sees Morphology deploy robust bass tones to underpin eerie synth lines and the pair rounds off the release in style with the intense industrial drums of "Orrere".

Review: With releases on labels like CPU, Frustrated Funk and Lunar Disko in his catalogue, it was only a matter of time before 214 aka Chris Roman put out a full EP for Cultivated Electronics. This four-tracker is a no-nonsense, dance-floor primed electro release. On "Linoleum and Cardboard", Roman lays down steely 808s and a stark rhythm, while "It Never Really Ends" sees him add some warbling acid to this approach. "Earthwroms" ups the pace and intensity levels, with shrieking riffs unravelling over a peak-time groove that calls to mind Rotters Golf Club. Rounding off 214's first full release on the reverend UK label is the sci-fi funk of "Nocturnal Hikes".

Review: Following on the two previous instalments, the third volume in the From the Dark series sees Cultivated Electronics map out an uncompromising vision for modern electro. There's the acidic bounce of Morphology's "Sentinal", while the Cuban funk pioneer Alpha 606 lays down a stripped back sound on "Zombie King". While the compilation features respected artists like Carl Finlow - dropping brooding, bass-heavy heat on "Hive Mind" as Silicon Scally - and label owner Sync 24 teaming up with Joonam for the mysterious "Prada Thunder Cuns", this volume also features newcomers like Calderin, whose ferocious, filtered "Sudor" shows that electro's future is in safe hands.

Review: Sync 24's label delivers a killer electro release. For the first time in a long time, Carl Finlow dons his Silicon Scally hat. "Deodexed" is everything we've come to love from Finlow's electro project - spiky rhythms, heavy sub-bass and steely drums unfolding to the sound of tense bleeps. Spain's Boris Divider also delivers a lesson in stripped back electronix, with "Primary Function" focusing on firing, minimal riffs, eerie synths and dry 808s. Morphology's "Dark Star" is deeper with melodic synths lighting the bleepy acid path, while the 303 is also a hot theme on label owner Sync 24 & Deixis's collaboration, with rolling kettle drums underpinning acid licks and a breathy vocal.
