'EPM Selected Vol. 9' features ten tracks from the EPMmusic archive and two unreleased mixes of classics from Mark Broom and Ben Sims. This collection goes right to our techno roots featuring artists such as Regis, Robert Hood, Oliver Way, Arno Vancolen, Carl Taylor, Lee J. Malcolm, Stare5 (aka Bryan Zentz), Bryan Chapman, Techmarine Bottom Feeders and Theiz plus the exclusive remixes of Ben Simss Xotnuc from Stevie Cox and the Chimes remix of Mark Brooms One Sound. We start Vol. 9 with Ben Simss Xotnuc which featured in our EPM 20 celebrations in 2021 but this time gets a brand new remix from Stevie Cox who brings the tempo down into a shimmering breakbeat before the mighty Karl OConnor (aka Regis) who brings a touch of rolling techno-funk with No Love From Above from his Beyond the Reach of Time EP. Bryan Chapman then gets a fortified techno remix from fellow UK producer, Inigo Kennedy who fires up Io into a solid dancefloor missile before the minimal master Robert Hood drops Shadows, showcasing his unique blend of techno minimalism to the full. Continuing in Hoods minimal vein we have Stare5 (aka Bryan Zentz) whose The Adverse Within was first unveiled on 2018s Void Swimmer EP and then we reveal another exclusive as the Chimes mix of Mark Brooms One Sound adds another layer of sonic depth to the techno crowd pleaser. Taking it back to 2012 Carl Taylors Onyx is quality tech-house through and through, with that added ingredient of funk, delivered from his True Faith album before the Techmarine Bottom Feeders (aka Paris the Black Fu and Emeric Di Paolo (Luxus Varta)) take us into an acid soaked vortex with The Vision (Radio Edit) and EPMs own Oliver Way rips into some Chi-town tech-boogie with Shuffle Rush that featured on 2022s V-Series: Chicago Connex EP alongside stompers from Robert Armani and Lester Fitzpatrick. The multi-talented Lee J. Malcolm then tackles Yellos classic Oh Yeah and Theiz takes us to the sounds of classic Black Dog / Plaid techno with his superb 1000 Year Cycle of the Dragonfly taken from his All That Remains album. Finally, signing off we have Bryan Chapmans hauntingly beautiful remix of Arno Vancolens Venus Loop Revisite.

Supremely darkside selection by Karl O'Connor featuring exclusives from Regis and Mønic plus a dozen bullets from Pessimist, Overlook, Ipman, Killawatt and more, documenting a very specific moment in the mid-late 10's where a bunch of renegades from D&B, techno and bass music lurched into a no-mans-land of industrial techno, moody electronics, autonomic D&B, halfstep and noisy bass experiments. Now almost 20 years into its thing, osiris was established in 2006 by Simon Shreeve as a sort of dubwise cousin to Downwards' more industrial predilections. Long intertwined with Regis through his label but also their collaborative work as Cub, Shreeve's eye toward the hardcore continuum bleeds heavy into pretty much all the apocalyptic grot on show, veering from abstract noise textures to fully sunken, bombed out acid bass and peak-time rollers. We start around 2013 with a pair of missiles from Ipman and Killawatt, the former punctuating pile-driving snares and snarling synths, the latter somehow sounding like a classic Burial woodblock intro turned full moody, red-lining wobbler. Mønic's 'Blink' explores the elastic binds between dubstep and industrial/dub techno on a throbbing slow roller, while Dot Product tread into the sort of post-apocalyptic sci-fi territory claimed by the likes of Roly Porter. Pessimist's 'Pagans' more or less steals the show, going at it with churning subs and strafing hi-hats, while Overlook's scowling 170bpm D&B madness 'Former Self' is just pure aggy brilliance. The previously unreleased 'Skin Of The Sea' from Simon Shreeve & Regis finishes things off with something like industrial slowcore, taking a sort of autonomic template and slowing it down 1000%% into a growling crawler full of spacious stabs and scattered snares, deep in the echo chamber. 2023 Osiris Music UK

A snapshot in time...Where all the madness began... Sandwell District. In the summer of 2004 David Sumner (Function), then living in his native New York City, was over in Europe playing some shows. When passing through Berlin to play the old Tresor location at Potsdamer Platz, he stayed with long term friend and collaborator, Karl O'Connor (Regis). One afternoon the two head over to Hardwax and T++ puts on a copy of Sleeparchive Elephant Island. After months of discussions regarding the flavor of the moment "Minimal", everything changed in that instant...They looked at each other and said "now this changes everything!" Finally, a way forward! Later that night at Tresor - as Function is playing, Regis is behind him organizing a mic...As Dave mixes Regis Guiltless with Elephant Island, Karl starts singing a punk cover version of Buddy Holly Peggy Sue over his set. It's all there in that one moment! Sandwell District. Dave goes back to New York inspired. He sees there's no information on the record apart from an email address. So, he gets in touch...He gets a reply from Roger, the two hit it off and organize the first ever Sleeparchive remix - Regis Asbestos (Sleeparchive Remix). On the B-side comes a cut-up version of Karl and Dave's Portion Reform classic Closing In, where they collaborate with Detroit Underground's Kero to form Re:Group. Adding deep 808 rhythms combined with Kero's signature Max MSP IDM madness, Left provides the perfect counterpart that made this EP the instant classic it became 18 years ago. Now, remastered in all its glory, sounding fresh, massive and better than ever - available on BandCamp for the first time - Infrastructure presents; Regis Asbestos (Sleeparchive Remix) b/w Re:Group Left.
