new lp by darren allen & t-x-heaven! hot!

varied and different soundscapes on 2x12

after almost a year gosu’s back with two split releases, curated by jane fitz ! first one by dom and darren allen:,,,, dom’s „snake totem“ - his first vinyl release so far - is an absolute spaced out house weapon! „the odd man“ on the flip by darren allen is a deeper but nevertheless grooving tune.

uncompromising minimal stuff for headnicking

darren allen is back with a strong release on his underlying form imprint delivering four more tracks of uniquely crafted minimalism in typical trippy fashion.

part 2 of darren allen’s discobar debut takes us on four more precision mindtrips, exploring further the technological influences found in part 1. on ‘atonement’, clattering percussive and plunging bass come laced with a stinsonesque synth line, creating a flightier vibe. the distorted hum of hardware-gone-haywire introduces ‘scanners’, a convulsed tribute to the cronenburg classic that rounds out this ep in typically trippy style.‘tv sickness’ is a post-perlon prowler, the softened shuffle of its first half returning with renewed vigour after a woozy mid-track breakdown, then reprised in a beatless coda.

darren allen joins the family at discobar for a 2-part release, the first containing four abstract grooves disrupted by distinctive sound interventions both synthesised and real. a clock ticking on ‘initiation’ joins rapping snares in giving intent to the track’s floating melodic figures and vocalisations. ‘manitou’ overlays steppy breaks with the rumble and roar of the eponymous heavy-duty vehicle, an invasion of the outside world sure to bewilder some dancefloors.things turn darker with distorted highs and groggy mid-range drift in ’obyvatel’, before the quiet industry of ’molecular’ – its assorted bubbles and rattles both musical and humorous – brings us back to the light.

the second release on the berlin based underlying form label comes from darren allen, offering three more unique and abstract techno tracks plus a remix from talented slovenian artist vid vai on b2 rounding off this experimental yet functional four track ep

underlying form is a new vinyl only label run by northern irish dj/promoter darren allen. the first release, a debut for darren, sets the tone for the labels future with 4 tracks of deep and abstract minimal techno on the invisible landscape ep

incl. tracks by robin ordell and youandewan

for its 9th release, discobar picks 4 tracks of previous releases and asks close producers and friends to remix them. we invite then dead rail, monkey nenufar, vlad caia and tokyo ghost to mingle with the discobar family and give us their own interpretation of our music.
