"Madrid-based imprint Trauma Collective are back with a vengeance. Their third dispatch comes from Pole Group associate and Order & Devotion main man Mario Campos aka Kwartz. The Reinforced Control EP sees their hometown partner-in-crime deliver more of his typically austere expressions in cerebral techno. Features the brutalist tones of war techno epic "The Nature Of Our Anger" awash in a mesmerising swirl of steely textures and visceral kicks, antagonising you with its erratic tempo shifts. The title track is a cyclical and linear DJ tool, properly geared for those heads-down moments under the strobe light, imposing a powerful groove on you in streamlined fashion. Next up, British legend Mick Harris, who inaugurated the label under his Monrella alias not long ago, returns here for a pounding rework of the track - venturing into greyscale industrial zones. Taking you deeper into amorphous Sunday morning vibes, the Berlin-based producer goes out all guns blazing on the dark patterns and mentalist tunnel vision of "Beneath The Surface"."

Next TRM mix series comes from Ximo Noguera. Head of NXT Recordings and Industrial Complexx, delivers a 3h selection of his most recent influences.

Ximo Noguera began his career as a DJ in 1991, attracted by the vibrant electronic scene of the late 80s . His interest in EBM pushes him to explore other styles such as psy trance, break beat nu skool , electro , IDM , trip-hop or minimal, genres that pave the way to find a perfect tune with techno.

He has published on labels such as HC Records and NXT recordings. This last is where he is head together with Jesús Sierra and is also the head of Industrial Complexx.

Industrial Complexx is a media linked to dark, transgressive, experimental, eclectic and dissonant electronic music. It first emerges as a digital platform but, its activity expands as a record company, and also, as a printed medium.

“This set clearly shows my musical evolution in this last stage, as the linear techno that I frequented so much has given way to a more organic style and richer in nuances, in which any musical genre can appear at a certain moment. The length of the set is also something that I usually take into account because I need it to have a development similar to that of a hall, with a good warm up and a gradual progression that usually reaches its peak from the middle of the session and up to the end of it. Regarding styles and musical genres, above all, any cut that sounds at least elaborate and with a certain originality prevails.”

Enjoy!

When Dario Garcia started to design his own sounds, his first obsession was to being able to use frequencies to induce altered states of consciousness to those who listen. Psychoacoustics, low and high frequencies, experimental equalizations and heavy post-processes are some of the resources he has been always working around in his different projects to cause different somatizations to the listener.

Notzing is the project to develop this idea in form of useful mental tools, created to being used in long mixes, powerful quadraphonic sound systems and a bunch of listeners. When these conditions are met, the project background makes sense.

The Notzing project compositions usually are monotones complex loops, with a repetitive rhythm oscillating. The purpose is to make easier the trance induction and to give more freedom to the creative process and sound design on live performances to overlap layers of sounds, textures and to develop a unique sound. It’s a way to empower the complexity of the rest of the sounds and the space where these are placed in the mix.

Some of his works under this artistic project has been released on record labels like Circular Limited, Awry, Edit Select Records, Subosc, Koryu Budo or the Knotzept institution which is considered as his home.

This live performance act is a studio improvisation created for the Trauma Collective as appreciation for their work. A narcotic and sedative trip to lose the mind during half an hour, full of textures, and organic liquid sounds from another dimension.

The setup used consist on:

- Behringer Deepmind 12

- Behringer Neutron

- Behringer BCR2000 (FX Controller)

- Moog Mother32

- Moog DFAM

- Doepfer A-100 System

- Elektron Octatrack

- Elektron Digitakt

- Waldorf Blofeld

- Faderfox PC12 (Elektron devices MIDI controller)
