Q_e_M - Quality Electronic Music: An Early December 2k25 Discogs Round Up

The journey continues. nitestylez.de head honcho baze.djunkiii has been grinding a bit to get the Q_e_M - Quality Electronic Music on Discogs presence going and it has been a grind indeed. Working through a bunch of mainstream Classical Music albums, Blues, Jazz, Chansons, super cheesy Vintage Soul and other non-electronic albums felt like doing chores at times but on the other hand that specific stack of off topic items needed to be - and has been nearly - cleared to pave the way for things to come. Which is a few boxes holding a three digit number of electronic music and related promo CD's from an abandoned collection we took over as well as roughly a few hundred Library Music CD's which were rescued from the archives of a long time defunct advertisement firm more than a decade ago and remained unchecked until now. And even though the CD format might not be the most valuable and sought after on Discogs right now it feels like a resurgence is imminent, especially with second hand / pre-loved items as more and more bands and artists are pulling away from Spotify and other streaming platforms and a young digital only generation seems to discover that subcription and physical ownership are two entirely different things.

Restocks:

1. Triple R & Walker - Aufraeumen! [XXC3 601]
Another classic rescued from the vaults of the former Liquid Sky Cologne and Liquid Sky Berlin which could be described as a blueprint for timeless analogue Ambient Techno x Armchair Techno. Over the years we've sold way more than 70 unplayed archive copies of this forever favorite through different channels and one of the last remaining now found a new home in Denmark recently. Therefore we listed it again.

Added new and unplayed highlights:

1. Tristwch Y Fenywod - Tristwch Y Fenywod [Night School 096]
One of baze.djunkiii's favorite albums of 2k24 and it still is a mesmerizing, ethereal and outerworldly affair. Welsh RitualFolk meets Industrial and Medieval Batcave, anyone?

2. DJ Heartchore - In Love [Heartchore 001]
baze.djunkiii already praised this release on these pages in January of 2k25 for '... its raw production approach, over the top Gabber x Happy Hardcore fusion vibe, fast tempo, continous Rave stab attacks, twisted synth tones and uplifting, yet hypercheesy vocoder breakdown sequence.' and it still feel like it's 1993 for a reason. R-A-V-E.

Pre-loved and collectible:

1. Tangerine Dream - Destination Berlin (From The Original Motion Picture) [Hansa]
Tangerine Dream and their soundtracks can be a bit of a hit and miss affair but this defo is an entry copy for anyone who's keen to dive into this specific rabbit hole. And it's one of the most affordable copies on Discogs right now.

2. Earth, Wind & Fire - The Very Best Of Earth, Wind & Fire [Arcade Crown]
This came in as a bit of a surprise. At least we considered Earth, Wind & Fire to be a rather mainstream band, 'Best of...' compilation albums to be less desirable and Arcade / Arcade Crown to have been a quasi-major / mainstream label at the time so we assume there must've been thousands of copies of this specific album around at some point - even if it's a Dutch pressing. So why on earth quite a bunch of these things sold for north of the 25€ mark is a mystery to us. That's why we've priced our copy at the low and more reasonable end of the spectrum. Go grab it.

Tell No Lies - Mantica [Aut Records 137]

Put out on the circuit via Aut Records on October 29th, 2k25 is "Mantica", the latest album outing by the Italian five piece ensemble Tell No Lies which has been operating under this name for more than a decade by now. Still led by composer x piano player Nicola Guazzaloca the quintet serves a menu of eight brand new tracks on this body of work, this time rolled out over a total of roughly 47 minutes. With influences of African Jazz cited in the accompanying info sheet we're entering a rather deep, yet somewhat nervous and highly detailed sonic realm in the intro sequence of "Chipirone" which later u-turns into hot vintage Jazz grooves with a surely tropical touch which still remains evident within the pieces more improvisational and Free Jazz-infused sequences. The subsequent "Scoulta" follows the path laid out and evolves from a seductive uptempo groove into utter high speed FreeJazz madness for the most Avantgarde savvy listeners out there whereas the intricate "Diva" is rather subdued, minimalist and in parts surprisingly romantic and restrained with an emphasis on an innate emotional warmth and comfort whilst "Impro" sonically is as close to its title as it gets even though the attentive listener might discover some tongue-in-cheek moments and even brief Jazz Noir references in there before the closing cut that is "Zavata", once again a rather complex and detailed affair, brings forth more defragmented grooves and intricate harmonic dialogue just to name a few. File under: Avantgarde.

XOTOX - I AM NOMAD [Infacted Recordings Promo]

After we've already posted the official music video for XOTOX' November 21st, 2k25 released digital single "I Am Nomad" we now received a promotional CD-r version of Andreas Davids' latest outing on Infacted Recordings. Opening with the so-called 'Club Version' of "I Am Nomad" XOTOX delivers a raw, futuristic and most certainly (post)apocalyptic fusion of raw Industrial, Rhythmic Noize and Industrial Techno driven by highly distorted synth power and a menacing vocal sample before the 'Remix 01 by MS Gentur' serves densely layered hyperbrutalism for late night Industrial Noize floors lit by relentless strobes, yet lacks a little in terms of grooves and peak time power. With the second original track on this single named "Danse Des Atomes" we're in for a treat in terms of a muscular ElectroTechno x EBM x WonkyTechno fusion which puts the entire Brighton posse in its place whilst the second remix outing by MS Gentur presents a way more functional and interesting re-interpretation, declaring full on sonic war on each- and everyone within its vicinity for a reason whereas the final "I Am Nomad *Instrumental" adds a thing of adventurous HardTechno / Industrial DJs out there. Destructive power galore.

01. The Egyptian Lover - 1987 [Egyptian Empire Records]
The Egyptian Lover. Long standing pioneer of Electro and ElectroFunk. Fourty years in the game and still true to a well functional formula. Raw Electro beats, vocoder vocals, 808 bass and a certain amount of dancefloor funk for the ladies. Never change a running system. That's why this album sounds like it sounds like. You know the score. It's good.

Yellow6 - Searching For Your Perfect [Sound In Silence 125]

Jon Attwood is back on Sound In Silence. Once again. With his new album under his musical guise Yellow6 released on October 20th, 2k25 the Leicestershire-based artist and producer tackles the somewhat social media-imposed question of what comes after one has created the perfect piece, no matter if it's art, music, photography or whatever craft it is one might engage in. Contemplating on this question over a total playtime of roughly 73 minutes covered by eight pieces in total Mr. Attwood starts from a place of dreamy and minimalist PostRock meets Desert Blues with twangy guitars hovering over a stripped down suggestion of a rhythm signature in "All A Dream" which is followed by the deeper, more Ambient-leaning and pillowing pad-heavy textures of "One In One Out" and the calm, ever so slowly developing Ambient waves of "No Plan" which are as soft and soothing as a comfortably hot summers day. With "Lime" Yellow6 brings forth a similarly comforting piece of PostRock x PopAmbient built around a soothingly repeating guitar motif over an extended run time of more than 13 minutes, "See What Comes Of It" is on a rather inward-looking and thoughtfully ruminant tip leading into a panaromic climax somewhat reminiscent of classic New Age compositions, especially with its extended electric guitar solo hinting towards echoes of echoes of what once was referred to as Psychedelic Rock whereas "The Frozen Trees" returns to a softer, stripped down and most tender approach before getting full on nocturnal, subdued and minimalistic with the organic micromovements of "Stomch" whilst things come full circle with the almost acoustic feel the final cut "Yes. Closer". A most beautiful album which keeps one warm like a long needed hug throughout cold winter days. Go check.

Chaosmose - Minima Moralia [Aut Records 138]

Put out on the circuit via the ever active Italian Aut Records label on October 22nd, 2k25 is "Minimal Moralia", the most recent album cooked up by the trio that is Chaosmose which is comprised of Tony Costantini, Riccardo Zorzi and the groups head honcho Ivan Pilat. Combining baritone sax, trombone and drums over the course of seven pieces and a total playtime of roughly 39 minutes we see the opener "Insomnia" embarking on a nocturnal, deeply melancholic Slow Jazz journey with its sustained, yet slightly off-kilter and minimally dissonant brass tones, seamlessly followed on a similar path by the extended "Wandering The Cage" and its almost comical dialogue unfolding between sax and trombone on top of improvised rhythmic minimalism - and madness. Furthermore we see "Pseudomenos" presenting an extended and quite unusual intro sequence before tentatively exploring the realm of Free Improv and late night Jazz melancholia whilst finding some hot groove bits along the way, the also 9+ minutes spanning "Direzioni Ipotetiche" caters a densely woven web of layered, highly dramatic melodic improvisations culminating in another hot groove finale before the closing miniature named "Angina Pectoris" rounds things off with an intense Free Jazz x Free Improv explosion turning into full on experimentation after a sudden break. This is Avantgarde Jazz for those who know.

The Deep Bells - Liberte [Sound In Silence 124]

Put out on the circuit via the long standing Greek label Sound In Silence is "Liberte", the first full length album collaboraboration between Jon Attwood a.k.a. Yellow 6 and Jason T. Lamoreaux a.k.a. The Corrupting Sea who, over the course of 8 tracks and a total run-time of nearly 75 minutes, present their sonic take on the recent divide of humans and the darkening political climate in Europe. Opening with "City" the duo sets a surprisingly dreamy, romantic and conciliatory tone especially for a background theme of such gravitas and importance before the subsequent cut "Not All History Is Preserved" brings forth a brooding and ominous Post-PostRock / Dark Ambient fusion shaped by inward looking desert guitars and airy, chiming bells building a subtle tension of almost Morricone'esque nature. Furthermore "Pooled" sees The Deep Bells embarking on a floating PopAmbient journey, riding calm and comforting pads emulating small waves forming on a quiet summers day accompanied by a neverending stream of ever so slightly changing guitar modulations whereas "Shelter", probably the most soothing of all compositions on this album, presents, once again, carefully arranged variations of one single main motif for the PopAmbient crowd and "Shout Shout" gets back to chiming tones, this time backed by eerie atmospheres and what seem to be reversed guitars over a total playtime of 15+ minutes. With "The Falls" the duo explores a rather sparse and somewhat rural arrangement pairing plucked guitar strings, tender pianos and caressing electronic textures, all falling together in a way sonically reminiscent of late and carefree summer evenings spent alongside one's loved ones, "Time Ticks" delivers a glimpse into an almost Folk x Desert Blues-infused dreamstate musically and therefore might be our personal favorite on this longplay outing before the closing cut that is "Times Of Change" drifts away in a rather nocturnal, solemn and minimalistic manner, serving a tender and carefully arranged conversation between corresponding, yet at times spine-tinglingly dissonant piano lines for a grande finale in Deep Listening Music. Lovely.

Aniello Perduto - Segni Semi [Aut Records 135]

Another album released by the Italian label Aut Records recently is "Segni Semi", the latest full length outing by Robert Di Blasio's Aniello Perduto project which has evolved from a solo affair into a trio which sees him accompanied by Marco Porcelluzzi on tenor saxophone and Simone Vincenzini on drums and objects for the time being. Put out on the circuit on October 15th, 2k25 the album caters a menu of fourteen new pieces rolled out over a little more than 39 minutes, starting with the forceful and alarming air flow pressure of "Astrofischio" which paves the way for the intense and dramatic quasi-repetitions of "Amigdala" followed by the surprisingly calm and nocturnal melancholia of "Ciglio" which layers tender and sustained sax tones in a way reminiscent of klaxon sounds blown over from a distant harbour and therefore presents a thrilling take on all organic FutureJazz for those who know. Furthermore the agitated repetitions and variation of the main motif in "Dolore Interno Lordo" evokes memories of an exaggerated, yet humourous chase scene in classic monochrome movies with "Pallardo" following on a similar, yet melodically upwards leading path before "Nulla" sees the group focusing on building spine-tingling tension from a rather minimalist Jazz angle, "Drenaggio" strips things down even further and, despite featuring some certainly harmonic micro sequences, clearly approaches the genre from a spiralling, whirling and Avantgarde-leaning point of view whilst pieces like the short interlude "Radio Maria" emulate a lost and probably reprocessed decaying FM radio transmission, followed by the fascinating melodic Jazz spirals of "I Would Prefer Not To" and the final, yet well surprising, Field Recording of chirping, tweeting and chatting birds which is brought forward by the closing cut that is "Certosa" just to name a few. A recommended one for all fans and followers of Contemporary Jazz exploring things a little off the beaten path. Go check.

This Vinyl Record Is A Weapon, Actually.

Dory Hayley - I Love Evil [Redshift Records]

Put out on the circuit via the Canadian Redshift Records imprint on September 26th, 2k25 is "I Love Evil", the latest 2CD album set by Vancouver's explorative soprana singer Dory Hayley who explores a set of pieces by Morton Feldman, Jordan Nobles, Katerina Gimon, Rodney Sharman and Cassandra Miller over a total course of more than two hours runtime. Opening with Hayley's interpretation of Feldman's "Three Voices" which sees her performing alongside two pre-recorded vocal tracks of herself over an extended playtime of 67 minutes, carefully layering her ethereal tonal shifts to an outerworldly effect which surely extends the realm of Contemporary and Modern Classical music due to its score'esque qualities and oscillating nature which might also resonate with fans and followers of hypnotic Avantgarde Ambient and whirling Deep Listening Music for a reason, especially thinking of the spine-tingling climax around minute 44ff. here. This rather enchanted approach to panoramic vocals layerings, this time emhanced by widescreen electronic textures and drifting atmospheric processing, continues with her take on Jordan Nobles' "XYZ" which presents a quite Psychedelia-infused listening sonic experience before Katerina Gimon's "Shadow/Light" brings forth an amalgamation of atmospheric Ambient and more of a Classical Opera-leaning take on vocal performance, with Hayley exploring fluttering high frequency vibratos and making use of her full register, in parts backed by a surprisingly rhythmic and ecstatic foundation whereas Cassandra Millers' final cut "How Weird He Must Think The World Is" even employs an array of disembodied whispers, conversational fragments and processed remnants of Spoken Word alongside heavenly choir sequences and rather noisy, aggressive and off-kilter outbursts dynamically overpowering the rest of the composition whilst emerging from the horrifying depths of the sonic underworld just to provide a brief overview of what fans and followers of Contemporary Avantgarde can expect from this album.

01. Various Artists - The Worst Edits Volume 9 [Members Only 025]
What even is this series? After taking an extended break from 2014 to 2022 before returning to the vinyl circuit the Members Only label has provided the rather adventurous underground DJs with a string of releases leading up to what be referred to as a filthy abomination in this one. Super lo-fi Industrial GothTechno edit business for strobe-lit basement dancefloors, glitched out highspeed Disco madness and endless Tribal x House x PostPunk fusion bits which might be deemed unplayable by many younger generations DJs of today. Only for those who know.

Q_e_M - Quality Electronic Music: An October 2k25 Discogs Round Up

So another month has passed and whilst nitestylez.de head honcho baze.djunkiii has continuously worked on the Q_e_M - Quality Electronic Music on Discogs presence and stock a few things have happened and some gems have been added to the inventory which we'll try to highlight on a roughly monthly basis from now on. But before we head to releases for sale we've come across our first non-paying buyer which since then has been blocked, of course. Interestingly this user had seemingly only placed one order before, a few years prior, which also remained unpayed (after thirteen days) and therefore led to a rating of 0.0% with one negative feedback and now made it two. Thanks for the implemented auto-cancellation process on Discogs which we had set generously to seven instead of the default four days buffer for payment. But still - why do ppl do this and block sellers inventory from being sold to commited buyers? Strange.

Limited Edition Restocks:

1. Thee Joker - Untitled [Hotel Lotte 002]
2. Wulfmanson - Untitled [Hotel Lotte 004]

A copy of each 7" vinyl release sold to the same buyer in Belgium earlier this month. According to Discogs not more than 500 copies of these were manufactured for the former Cologne-based Hotel Lotte label which was run by the Liquid Sky Cologne crew in the late 90s as an outlet for all kind of quirky TripHop x Downtempo weirdness and related sonic affairs. With former connections to Liquid Sky Cologne and later being associated with the Liquid Sky Berlin crew for a while baze.djunkiii managed to rescue a bunch of unplayed stock prior to destruction roughly a decade ago. Most of these have been sold but watch out for remaining stock.

Added new and unplayed highlights:

1. Grauzone - Eisbär [We Release Whatever The Fuck We Want Records 041]
"Eisbär" is an undisputed evergreen in NDW / German New Wave but for collectors of quality [electronic] music the most interesting track on this reissue will be "Film 2" on the flip which provides a truly haunting amalgamation of spiralling SynthWave and ProtoTechno.

2. Wolfgang Tilmans - Insanely Alive (Remixes) [Fragile 013]
baze.djunkiii already praised this release on these pages in June of 2k22 as '...nothing but a top notch bang0r.' and it still is a criminally underrated gem, somewhat sitting in between genres like SynthPop and ElectroClash. Also - when was the last time you actually saw the Pet Shop Boys doing a remix for somebody?

Pre-loved and collectible:

1. Juan Atkins & Moritz Von Oswald - Borderlands [Tresor 262 Promo CD]
Seemingly sought after this rare promo CD from the offices of Berlin's famed Techno staple Tresor Records was sourced from an abandoned CD collection. For fans and collectors of Detroit and Dub Techno.

2. Tangerine Dream - Tangram [Virgin]
Sourced from a retiring DJs collection this is an Italian pressing which might be a little rough around the edges but might provide a gateway for someone who starts to get into Berlin School x ProtoAmbient x Synth sounds for a reason.

Arid Landscapes - Arid Landscapes [Signal Chain Records 001]

One of the two surviving albums out of a multi-album parcel sent to us by the Canadian promo agency Riparian Media lately is the self-titled debut by the duo that is Arid Landscapes, released on September 19th, 2k25 via the freshly launched label named Signal Chain Records as the imprints cat.no. 001. Comprised of guitar player Dan Pitt and keyboardist Noah-Franche Nolan Arid Landscapes cater a set of ten brand new pieces rolled out over a total playtime of 53 minutes, bringing forward a soft and pillowing, yet somewhat nervous and restless Ambient-informed landscape from very the start of the opener prelude which evokes memories of Oval's "Systemisch" album mainly due to its fluttering, destabilized guitars whereas the follow up that is "Rmtk" summons a reather hypnotic and spine-tingling presence in terms of ever intensifying rhythmic loops and "Weathered" provides a stark contrast, being based on plucked, almost chiming string tones which are seemingly live processed electronically and, over the tracks total playtime of 12+ minutes, start to slowly defragment in an ever escalating manner. Furthermore "Union" indulges in slightly glitched out and brittle Deep Listening Music somewhat reminscent of echoes of echoes of Deuter's most minimal Proto-Ambient / Berlin School pieces whilst "The Dust Storm" is a on rather funky, strumming and folksy tip before its inherent rhythms are falling apart in a sea of overlapping echoes and delays and the final cut that is "The Optimist" almost touches base with super dreamy Post-PostRock and PopAmbient most likely to be highly appreciated by fans of intimate Instrumental Folk or early Klimek and the likes of just to name a few. If this, or probably PostRock in general is something you gravitate to this album might be worth your while.

Hui-Chun Lin / Masahiko Ueji - Fat Cat And Drunk Mouse In Zero Gravity [Aut Records 136]

Put out on the circuit via the ever active Aut Records label on October 1st, 2k25 is "Fat Cat And Drunk Mouse In Zero Gravity", the second collaborational album crafted by Hui-Chun Lin and Masahiko Ueji which is released a decade after their 2015 debut suitably called "Fat Cat And Drunk Mouse". With their sophomore longplayer catering a menu of twelve brand new pieces over the course of roughly 76 minutes, sporting titles like the ingenious "A Small Step For A Fat Cat, A Giant Leap For A Drunk Mouse", "Rondo Of The Gas Giant", "The Wow! Signal (Detected In 1977)" and other more or less space related themes we see the two musicians combine their respective instruments, cello and piano, in sometimes quite unexpected, yet rather uplifting ways with the almost ecstatic and wildly spiralling "A Treacherous Trip" seemingly using plucked cello strings as a rhythmic foundation in its intro sequence whereas the "Red Star Club" brings forth more of a rural, yet also seemingly formal influence probably harking back to ancient dancefloors of yore, the playful and oftentimes tongue-in-cheek "The Fake Space Shuttle Got Stolen" even evokes memories of faux cat and mouse chases on display in classical animation films whilst "A Small Step For A Fat Cat, A Giant Leap For A Drunk Mouse" seems to indulge in deep melancholia and therefore provides a sweet haven of calm thought and meditation even though its piano lines keep racing, followed by the entire composition later down the line. Furthermore "Gagarin Shows The Signal And The Position Of Our Predator" dives even deeper into sweet late night melancholia from the start, the "Rondo Of The Gas Giant" seemingly draws inspiration from Classical compositional forms, Jazz and a grain of mediterranean drama before serving cascading waves of interwined piano lines in correspondance with Lin's emotional string works whilst "The First Vodka Outside The Solar System" turns out to be a rather nervous and unstable affair backed by whirling drones and a certain lack of structural stability which, luckily, doesn't matter too much in a zero gravity setting just to name a few. If you're rather intrigued by the title and Improv-leaning Jazz as well as Free Improv are a part of your musical comfort zone go ahead and check this out!

Rough Unit - Desert Crash [Bam Balam Records]

Put out as limited edition of 100 copies only via the Bordeaux-based label Bam Balam Records only recently is "Desert Crash", the latest five track mini album by Rough Unit, an actual side project by RG Rough who's been closely associated with the label ever since the release of his album "60" back in 2019. Opening with "Snake Drive" we see Rough Unit embarking on a journey into rather stripped down and whirling atmospheric PostPunk realms evoking memories of both Tristesse Contemporaine as well as David Lynch for a reason whereas the follow up that is "Red Light Down" weighs in a little more of a straightforward late night dancefloor attitude for all the creatures of the night heavily into PostPunk - and Batcave, vibewise. Furthermore the subsequent "Night Horns" work their way up to a rather dramatic and spiralling climax (not climax) after a suitably dark and nocturnal intro sequence followed by "Dead Ringers", a creeping, constrained and atmospheric sonic exercise accompanied by a fascinating variation of a rather intimate speak-singing performance in terms of vocal delivery whereas the final 8+ minutes cut that is "Ten Miles Under The Radar" weighs in a slightly noisier, defo spine-tingling and probably Industrial-informed PostPunk vision for fans of early Tropic Of Cancer releases and other folks in the know. Go check.

Best song ever. I'll be forever grateful for the one who, unknowingly, nudged me towards this masterpiece. You are my forever heroine.

Daniel Szwed - Splinter [Rope Worm 009]

Another fresh album released by the Polish label Rope Worm on September 24th, 2k25 is "Splinter", the sophomore longplay outing by Daniel Szwed who is collaborating with a set of guest artists on the six tracks and roughly 28 minutes spanning release which, one at a time, chime in both with instruments like piano or flutes as well as with lyrics, providing additional layers to Szwed's electric, electrified and electrifying sonic explorations. With "S1 (With Jessica)" we're entering a dark, spatial and nerve-wrecking realm of hyper-compressed Post-Bassmusic with an intense Industrial twist immediately evoking vantablack memories of Mick Harris' Scorn project whereas "S2 (With Natalia Gorecka)" brings forth creeping and claustrophic, yet metallic and futuristic sounding Rhythm Industrial before "S3 (With Mala Herba)" seems to fuse a rhythmic approach taken from genres like Clicks'n'Cuts with tectonic low end shifts and spine-tingling whispers emerging from dark corners of the listeners mind. Furthermore "S4 (With Liam Andrews)" further explores the realm of Post-Bassmusic meets Broken Techno in a super stripped down musical format which might at times even resonate with fans of Deadbeat in his darkest and most nihilistic moments, "S5" - the sole solo work on this album - caters an amalgamation of electric buzzing, earth shaking bass music and mind numbing drums all falling together in what can be described as time-dissolving Illbient nothingness before "S6 (With Mala Herba)", once again, rounds things off in a rather enchanted, ethereal and almost spiritual way with Mala Herba's multilayered vocals epicly floating atop Szwed's brooding rhythm and bass foundation, breaking through the wall of sound like a first ray of sunlight breaking through turbulent and fast moving clouds after a heavy storm. Highly recommened, this!

Marmur - Elektroniczne Systemy [Rope Worm 007]

Put out on the circuit via the highly appreciated Rope Worm label operating out of Warsaw / Poland on September 24th, 2k25 is "Elektroniczne Systemy", the most recent three track album by Artur Ruminski and Macio Moretti who are operating under their shared musical alias that is Marmur. Opening with "Ludzkosc" the duo brings forth a combination of raw and rumbling percussive movements for fans of close up Electroacoustic Jazz in combination with calm, floating and rather Ambient-sounding synthscapes for the Indietronica and Post-PostRock posse which are becoming more haunting and ghostly over time, followed by the spatial and subaquatic electroacoustic minimalism of "Drenaz" which is a gem for collectors of what is best described as Deep Listening Music emerging from cavernous subsurface vaults, catering an array of buzzing electric rhythm signatures evolving into a stripped down, yet dark and somewhat abrasive take on IDM / Electronica whereas the final cut that is "Objazd" caters a raw, rather glitched out and probably Breakcore-infused variation on heavy Industrial Electronics and Rhythmic Noize experimentations for the darkest of dark underground dancefloors. Only for the headstrong. Go check!

Duffhues - It Has No Face [Zwarte Vleugels]

Scheduled for release via the Belgium-based Zwarte Vleugels label on October 24th, 2k25 is "It Has No Face", the latest album conceived by Duffhues who first appeared on the scene with a self-released cassette tape roughly 30 years ago and has continuously shaped his approach over decades, coming at things from an angle at which he doesn't refer to himself as a musician but rather more of an author, observer and, probably..., a vessel for inherent darkness present in the world today. Once again approaching things form a mono angle sonically Duffhues caters a menu of eleven songs over the short course of 29 minutes, backing raw, grungy and Blues-infused guitars with what seems to be a steady pulse of electronic or rather electronically enhanced bassdrums and a rather unconventional take on storytelling and songwriting which seems rather influenced by observational conversations than by the rule book of traditional songwriting both in arrangement and lyrical structures with spontaneous eruptions of detuned x off-kilter feedbacks in the title track that is "It Has No Face" whilst the subsequent "Smart" is almost seductive due to its simple, cut back and hypnotic main motif before the swirling, brooding bass guitars of "Demon Witch" are fully living up to the songs title, the "Warmonger" bringing on serious heat for dimly lit underground dancefloors whereas the undeniable groove of "Cat In The Box" draws heavy inspiration from dirty Delta Blues and similar sub-genres which makes this specific song one of our personal favorites on the album. This is good stuff. Go check!

Freddy Fresh plays: Sascha Müller - Beat Junkie [Intrauterin Recordings 008]

Freddy Fresh (Official) · Cherry Picking 45 7" Master Mix Volume 1

And so we gotta big up the one and only Freddy Fresh for the support in his latest 45s x 7" only selction named "Cherry Picking 45 7" Master Mix Volume 1". The entire mix in itself is a lovely selection, yet the Indutrial Electro Acid Phonk fun starts at 33:51 for a reason.

01. Trust In 6 - Life In Ecstasy [Mecanica 097]
The Poland-based Mecanica label unearthed another highly influential classic from the early 90s, this time the 1991-released 12" single "Life In Ecstasy" by Trust In 6 which yours truly heard first in the very first issue of the famed 'Techno Trax' 2CD series which was released by ZYX Records in cooperation with Technodrome International back then. With its clear floating synth melodies, EBM- / SynthPop-leaning vocals which evoke memories of Sven Väth's sing/speech style employed in hits like OFF's "Electrica Salsa", subtle Agreppo-influences and of course fueled by the euphoria of early Rave days "Life In Ecstasy" still holds up to this day as a sonic document of its time alongside being a highly seductive dancefloor bang0r and a certified earworm in its own right. Tune!

02. Tron Revolta - Volume 1 [TRON001]
They say things are coming full circle within the music industry roughly every 20 years and it seems like this approximation is kinda accurate once again. Roughly around the mid-00s we saw record stores being flooded with gazillions of il- or semi-legal bootleg releases of rather questionable origin, mostly sitting within the realm of House, TechHouse or ElectroHouse at first before Techno, NuSkoolBreaks and other genres followed suit. Now, in 2k25, we see bootlegs making a comeback and the one in question here is no exception. Especially added to the collection for the pumping, highly seductive and well functional TechHouse-take on Depeche Mode's "Behind The Wheel" as a major selling point for us "King Of Drop" on B1 makes proper use of the beloved hoover signal which shook the world to the core in Human Resource's "Dominator" for a reason and is defo doing the same to contemporary dancefloors these days, despite adding a rather unexpected tongue-in-cheek Rave twist for a peak time tune.

Q_e_M - Quality Electronic Music: A Quick Discogs Round Up

As announced earlier this year myself, that's nitestylez.de head honcho baze.djunkiii to be more specific, has entered the Discogs realm once again after on and off dabbling with the sales-side of platform since back in 2013 - always with the idea in mind to turn this into a curated business model, focusing on the special, mainly underrated, long time forgotten, obscure and / or relatively unknown underground releases when it comes to what I've always referred to as 'quality [electronic] music' for decades. Especially with decades of experience behind the actual counter of a physical record store I've realized that this is what I've always done best in this specific sector - selling the music I'm actually into, unearthing forgotten label stocks, providing guidance, advice and expertise in a field that's vast, rather complex, cluttered and basically incomprehensible due to its sheer size. Just like this website nitestylez.de has been providing guidance in terms of record reviews since the late 90s and will continue to do so Q_e_M - Quality Electronic Music on Discogs is set out to provide a curated selection of mainly new and unplayed sound carrier formats including all things related to the Intrauterin Recordings label group and other baze.djunkiii-releases, labels run by friends, acquaintances and family, releases obtained from trades with trusted sources and underground mailorders as well as occasional - and hopefully more and more regular - brand new and fresh additions to the inventory. Imagine an online source of music which functions like a well and individually curated recordstore the regular reader of these pages would enjoy visiting. That's one for an end goal.

But there's a catch. Every operation which is not backed by major capital funds and resources has to start somewhere. And there we are right now - a clear vision in mind, with selected new and unplayed stock available and a major task to handle.

To build a foundation for things to come we'll be sifting through stacks of hundreds of yet unchecked Library Music CD's which have been sitting in archival boxes for years, a probably 200-250 album strong collection of electronic music CD's we've been taking in a while ago as well as the majority of an entire vinyl record collection from a DJ friend of ours which is rapidly downscaling his personal archive. Alongside these records also came a small collection of sound carriers formerly owned by his parents which obviously includes rather non-electronic music but needs to be worked through as well - a.k.a. fully play-checked and graded with rather detailed descriptions, a feat which seems to be rather rare on Discogs these days - especially for low price second hand x pre-loved items.

Yet our goal is to provide as good of a customer service as possible, even though it can be a rather slow, tedious and time-consuming process especially when it comes to albums which wouldn't be found on the site at all if we hadn't quasi-inherited them. This being said building up inventory from scratch is a priority these days so expect new additions on a regular and feel free to bookmark the link below, with all the proceeds of our sales going directly into the funding of projects like this website and all other pages we run on the interwebz, our labels and of course the acquisition of new stock to sell. Let's make this a thing!
