Review: Conor Thomas's The Death Of Rave label charges back into the spotlight with a second release from Northern sound designer Rian Treanor, and it's every bit as destructive and mind-bending as the rest of the label's catalogue. The opener "Pattern A1" is a jarring storm of harsh sonics bound together by a sharp string of distortion, while "Pattern A2" manages to create a rhythm out of disparate, minimal tribal percussion. On the flip of this nutty 12", "Damage B1" gets lively and picks up the pace thanks to a gorgeous myriad of chords and pulsating beats, leaving "Damage B2" to wallow in a sea of aqueous, dubby chords and sporadic kicks. Excellent quality gear right here.
Review: What happens when you pair up noted UK sound experimentalist Mark Fell with Gabor Lazar, a Budapest-based musician who has exhibited an equally adventurous streak through his body of work to date. That's the motivation behind the latest release from Manchester's ace The Death of Rave label, The Neurobiology Of Moral Decision Making, which sees Fell and Lazar collaborate on ten hyperkinetic untitled tracks which draw out maximum sonic impact from a shared minimalist approach. If you were a fan of Fell's Sensate Focus series for Editions Mego a few years back you should definitely check out this album!
