RELEASE DATE: 10/15/2021
British producer Patrick Tipler spent his formative years immersed in psychedelia as a bassist and guitarist in various bands and groups. The arrival of synthesizers -- along with his move to Bristol -- radically changed his vision of sound and impacted on his musical direction with the force of an asteroid. This shockwave subsequently saw the birth of Delay Grounds. After releasing the outstanding Onomatopoeia [Pressure Dome, 2020] and Upcycling [Tropopause, 2021], Delay Grounds' output has made it clear for all to see that Tipler's sound design skills are second to none, and with just two releases to his name he has already transformed himself into an artist to watch very closely. Today, Patrick joins the Lapsus crew to present Genus, a five-track EP that he says "is my most personal release to date, something I've always carried inside and wanted to produce, but had never managed to articulate before." On Genus, Delay Grounds preserves the essence of his sound but takes things a step further, with a form of maximalist electronica, sprouting powerful torrents of high-pitched and ruff-as-rock avant-techno, glitches and mutant sound elements, combined with sweet and delicate melodies in the purest IDM style. Polishing is provided by sound engineer Nick Earle, with whom Patrick has recorded and remarkably treated a kit of "deconstructed drums" especially for the occasion. Genus is 30 minutes of astral travelling, an experience perhaps analogous to what we would feel if we opened a vault, containing music from a lost civilization. Marbled snowy white vinyl.

20th Anniversary Edition of Slow Motion Process, originally released in 2001. In 2019, Lapsus released the only album to date from IDM duo Abfahrt Hinwil, released for the first time on vinyl. Abfahrt Hinwil is formed by two good friends Martin Haidinger and Chris Cunningham, who as well as collaborating on musical projects were also responsible for the now defunct Toytronic label. Today, Lapsus welcomes back Martin Haidinger, AKA Gimmik, the pseudonym under which Haidinger has been releasing intricate and exquisite electronic music since the late 1990s. The Austrian producer's album Slow Motion Process is his best-known work to date and was released in 2001 on the Worm Interference label. It's sound is very reminiscent of Abfahrt Hinwil's album Links Berge Recht Seen: combining elements of subtle braindance, glitch-tinged electronic music, floating between analog and digital; exceptional IDM that still sounds as contemporary as when it was first released. Lapsus Records celebrates the 20th anniversary of Slow Motion Process with the release of a deluxe edition that includes artwork updated and designed by Martin himself, as well as the unreleased track "Typologic (1999)" -- only available on the vinyl version.

"In the beginning, there was just a box of tapes and 'Fate's Gentle Hand.' It was the autumn of 2010, and an anonymous figure known only as the Head Technician, an employee of Pye Corner Audio Transcription Services, found himself at an auction in the village of Coldred, pop. 110. He was on the hunt for tobacco pipes when he chanced across a trio of boxes listed in the auction catalog, which described their contents only as 'archived magnetic recordings.' The sole bidder, he won the lot, and upon receipt of his purchase took possession of an unspecified number of moldering cassettes and ¼" reel-to-reel tapes. The collection contained no identifying information save for a single phrase scrawled on each box: Black Mill Sessions. And so, armed with razors, eyedroppers, and a bevy of solid-state circuitry, the Head Technician sat down at his machines and got to work . . . Some of the tapes displayed an unusual amount of degradation and ... an unsettling amount of background noise, whether electrical in nature, or otherwise,' wrote the Head Technician . . . It was a good yarn, and the music was better still. Like his contemporaries Demdike Stare and Ghost Box, Pye Corner Audio seemed to be tapping into some hidden energy current, channeling spirits via electrical means. The pioneering transmissions of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop could be detected lurking within the music's staticky swirl; so could the ominous throb of John Carpenter's film soundtracks. Drones and flutes commingled with chugging machine beats; miasmic clouds of haunted tone alternated with death disco. It all sounded eerie, otherworldly, possibly occult -- yet also, in tracks like the glimmering 'We Have Visitors,' accented with a hint of mischief. Over the next few years, Martin Jenkins -- for that, after all, was the Head Technician's name -- would go on to release three more volumes of Black Mills Tapes. Among the dozens of releases he has put out since 2010, they remain among the most beloved in his catalog. Now, ten years after Avant Shards first appeared, Lapsus is pleased to present Black Mill Tapes Volume 5: The Lost Tapes. The musical landscape has changed considerably in the past decade, but what is remarkable about the Black Mills Tapes material is that it hasn't aged a day; its retro-futurist transmissions sound just as mysteriously compelling as they did the first time around. While they purport to faithfully transcribe the sound of yesterday's technology, they end up being something more: a record of what we wish the past sounded like -- a rickety tape transfer of desire itself, spooled and boxed, just awaiting discovery." --Philip Sherburne

The next release in Lapsus Records "Perennial" series is from veteran producer Lee Norris, also known as Metamatics, the pseudonym under which he has spent more than two decades creating melodic IDM and sophisticated electro. Norris is an artist who warrants his cult following with an extensive catalog and countless monikers, including his main work as Metamatics and alternative projects Norken, Nacht Plank, Ishqamatic, and Autumn Of Communion. This unflagging artist with an enviable track record behind him has released material on labels such as Delsin, Hydrogen Dukebox, Dot, Numbers and Clear, as well as running his own record labels Neo Ouija, ...txt, XTT Recordings and Nagual. His seminal EP series 01, 02, 03, and 04 was originally released between 1997 and 1998 on the now defunct but influential Clear label. Compiled as A Metamatics Production, the tracks breathed fresh air into the global IDM scene and were comprised of crystal-clear futuristic sounds, flirting with complex and funky drum & bass that carried both UK and Detroit influences, a true masterpiece. More than twenty years since its original release in 1997, Lapsus Records present the British producer's original debut album A Metamatics Production, released in full and on vinyl for the first time. Silver "blob" in yellow vinyl; remastered; includes limited edition insert.

These were not compositions, we were told; they were tape transfers -- 'transcriptions' of an unknown author, slathered with hiss and thick with ambiguity. Some of the tapes displayed an unusual amount of degradation and ... an unsettling amount of background noise, whether electrical in nature, or otherwise,' wrote the Head Technician. 'I chose to edit around the worst of the unusual break-ups, but some still remain.' It was a good yarn, and the music was better still.

In 2006, the now defunct BaseLogic label released the first in a triad of EPs entitled Fixxy, produced by the enigmatic British artist Ed Chamberlain. These EPs left many electronic music lovers scratching their heads, having heard something genuinely different. It represented a new generation of IDM reminiscent of The Black Dog or Plaid, melancholic electro with a meticulous nuanced palate that immediately transformed Chamberlain into a revered figure. Fifteen years on Lapsus Records, as part of its Perennial series, will release Ed Chamberlain's superlative productions across 2x12", entitled 03/06. The lavish 12" double pack will feature a sizeable part of the Fixxy material, along with additional tracks created during the same period of time, 2003-2006, including "Zarathustra" and "Does Ape", the latter released on vinyl in 2008 by Madrid label Semantica. Remastered.

Hailing from Georgia's capital Tbilisi, Gacha Bakradze is one of the national scene's leading electronic music exponents. He returns to Lapsus Records with his new album Obscure Languages, his second release for the Barcelona label. Following the superb LP Word Color (LAPSUS 017LP, 2018), which appeared in several "album of the year" lists for publications such as Pitchfork and XLR8R, the prolific producer presents Obscure Languages. This new piece of work could well be described as a sound continuation from his previous album and maintains a powerful narrative at its core. Obscure Languages delves into the world of cinematic soundscapes, replete with microscopic details and fragments that showcase a luscious IDM style audio palette, laced with ambient, avant-techno, bass, and sound design.

Suzanne Ciani is a true electronic music pioneer. The five Grammy nominated Italian-American neoclassical composer is unquestionably one of the greatest minds that contemporary music has ever witnessed. After an incredible career spanning forty years, Ciani's accomplishments have become a benchmark when discussing the origins of musical synthesis. For more than four decades she developed a body of work that transcends the music industry, composing for film, video games, and famous advertising campaigns that have impacted popular culture. On December 14, 2019, after six years of sound experimentation, Lapsus Festival bid farewell to Barcelona's Centre for Contemporary Culture. Its final event was entitled "A Sonic Womb" and was dedicated to the musical roots of the synthesizer, with Suzanne Ciani headlining on the night. Ciani performed an exclusive show accompanied by her modular Buchla 200e synthesizer and enveloped in a specially designed multi-channel sound environment by Intorno Labs. It was a sonic voyage to the very heart of her beloved machine and a tribute to improvisation through an instrument that is said to possess its own soul. Suzanne described the night as "an improvisation that I began using in the '70s and continue to use now as raw material. Each performance based on this material has its own expression and one could liken it to jazz." Lapsus Records present A Sonic Womb: Live Buchla Performance at Lapsus, a unique live recording of this extra special concert.

Growing up in Milton Keynes, the largest of the "new towns" outside of London designed and built in the 1960s, perhaps explains why producer Nicholas Worrall is subconsciously drawn to clearly delineated sonic structures and flawed techno utopianism, two concepts that are ever present in both his sound and aesthetic approach to music. Wordcolour was formed just two years ago, at a time when Worrall was habitually cutting up and splicing human voice samples ripped from YouTube memes, film dialogues, and musique concrète tapes. The first artistic demonstration of these ideas arrived in 2019 via his mixtape I Want To Tell You Something for the Blowing Up The Workshop platform. This unique set immediately grabbed the attention and support of the specialized music press and media, including Pitchfork and Resident Advisor. Tell Me Something is Wordcolour's official debut EP and heads straight for the dancefloor. It is comprised of an unusual melting pot of influences that fuse the UK club sound, post-dubstep and a style akin to Paul Lansky's '90s musique concrète. Tell Me Something offers a vibrant leftfield, avant-garde techno, and edgy electro, all immersed in the vast cosmos of the human voice. Solid silver color vinyl.

Martin Jenkins, more commonly known as the artist Pye Corner Audio, epitomizes Lapsus Records' commitment to cutting edge sound experimentation. In 2017, he beguiled the electronic music community by releasing the Where Things Are Hollow EP (LAPSUS 016EP), on Lapsus Records. The Barcelona label announces the release of Where Things Are Hollow 2, consisting of three brand new original cuts and a remix from none other than John Talabot. Where Things Are Hollow 2 explores a spectral and hypnagogic terrain, establishing an electronic sound that at times invokes Jenkins' more dance friendly facet -- "Self Synchronise", "Weather The Storm" -- while also offering his familiar iridescent dreamlike ambient textures -- "Phase B" -- that featured prominently on his first EP. This second EP also includes a remix from John Talabot, unquestionably one of Spain's most internationally recognized names over the last decade, who exquisitely reimagines "Resist" -- a song from the first EP -- transforming it into a cross between EBM and hypnotic techno. From a graphic design perspective, renowned artists Alex Trochut and Basora have once again collaborated on this project, repeating the formula that made the artwork for Where Things Are Hollow such a collector's item.

Repressed. From its creation in the late '90s until its closure in 2009, the Toytronic label witnessed a digital revolution that transformed the record industry, turning glitch into a production tool for a whole generation heir to the of bleep 'n' bass sound. Thanks to their impeccable A&R credentials, its head honchos, Martin Haidinger and Chris Cunningham, created an incredible IDM label catalog, as well as producing their own material under pseudonym Abfahrt Hinwil. Their only album to date Links Berge Rechts Seen (Toytronic, 2002) was released as a compilation featuring tracks from their brief career that over the years has become a benchmark for the Toytronic sound. This album included their first -- and only -- three releases signed to Expending Records and Toytronic, and also included two previously unreleased songs: "Planquadrat" and a hidden track at the end of the CD version. Lapsus presents Links Berge Rechts Seen, which will be released on vinyl for the first time as part of its Perennial Series. Originally released on CD in 2002.

Lapsus Records presents the third release in its Perennial series, dedicated to reissuing contemporary electronica classics from established artists. The third release is from Christopher Scott Leary, who over the last two decades has produced a plethora of material under his pseudonym, Ochre. 2019 marks 15 years since the original release of A Midsummer Nice Dream in 2004; on British label Toytronic, which pushed Leary to the forefront of the experimental electronic music sphere. This special deluxe reissue, entitled A Midsummer Nice Dream (15th Anniversary Edition) features unreleased material from the same period and includes three bonus tracks. It therefore offers a golden opportunity to rediscover an album that navigates through several genre domains such as ambient, IDM, and experimental electronica in its purest form, stylistically reminiscent of the likes of Autechre, whilst conveying a sound considerably ahead of its time. In its entirety A Midsummer Nice Dream is undoubtedly one of the most remarkable electronica glitch albums to be released in the 2000s, when the genre experienced its zenith, largely thanks to the advent of significant breakthroughs in digital production tools. Re-mastered by John McCaig (panicStudios). Includes a full-color print of the new artwork, re-designed by Portland (Oregon) illustrator Nathaniel Reeves. Tri-color (solid blue, black, and solid white mixed) vinyl.

Originally released in 2005, Tryshasla is the second "Perennial" series release and was the second studio album by Dutch producer Secede. This classic album is one of Lapsus Records' favorites and they reissue it here on vinyl for the first time. Lennard van der Last, better known in electronic music circles as Secede, has always remained an elusive character, preferring to prioritize to his work in the studio. Although Tryshasla is unanimously heralded as his finest work, throughout his career Lennard has continually demonstrated his unique ability in producing venerated musical pieces. Upon its original release on CD by Dutch label Sending Orbs, Tryshasla immediately became a benchmark album and featured in many independent lists of that year. Tryshasla continues to sound as current and relevant as ever. It is an album with a powerful ambient spirit, replete with micro-passages in which field recordings and piano phrasing form its core sound, but which also include styles such as IDM, drum and bass, and even trip-hop. As if this were not enough, Reimer Eising -- aka Lapsus Records' beloved label contributor Kettel -- collaborates on one of the albums integral tracks, "Leraine". Lithographic original art print from illustrator Jeroen Advocaat. Remastered by Xavier Alarcón. Tricolor double-LP vinyl (transparent green, clear, and black).

Reissue of Kettel's spectacular Myam James Part I, originally released as a CD on Sending Orbs in 2008. The Perennial Series is a new division of Lapsus Records and is dedicated to works from established artists in the universe of contemporary electronic music. As the name suggests, timeless music will form the cornerstone of the Perennial Series through pieces that have passed through numerous fashions and trends: musical treasures that have never been pressed to vinyl, decades old discontinued album reissues, or new artist releases that already form part of electronic music culture history. The first release in this new series will be from none other than Kettel, one of the label's favorite artists, and an integral piece of work in understanding IDM over the last 20 years. Reimer Eising needs no introduction; the well-established producer based in Groningen (Holland) has been releasing music for nearly two decades on respected labels including Planet Mu and Clone. In 2008 he released the spectacular Myam James Part I on Sending Orbs, the record label he has consistently worked with since its inception. The album -- which left electronica "headz" speechless -- is, in Lapsus Records' humble opinion, a masterpiece replete with acid, electro breaks, and the purest braindance style. Also includes "Mukudori", an unreleased track that Reimer composed during the same period, which was discarded for the final album version.

The prolific Barcelona producer on Lärm enters new industrial wastelands, where noise is a common thread throughout. Pina openly experiments on this nine-track album, delving deep into the changing facets and mutations of noise, in which his typical powerful and rhythmic house bass lines once again combine with IDM textures and melodies.

Word Color is a nine-song mini-LP in which Gacha Bakradze gives free rein to his most introspective electronica. This imaginative producer from Tbilisi, Georgia has deservedly earned plaudits throughout the European scene, becoming a main-stay of the Belgian label Apollo for whom he has released half a dozen releases to date, receiving reviews from prestigious publications including Pitchfork and Resident Advisor. Word Color is a cinematic arrangement of captivating melodies, rhythmic experimentation, textured landscapes, and micro-vocal samples. Gacha has once again reinvented his musical ideology, bestowing it with mood defining authenticity and excitement, through superbly and dexterously programmed rhythms and harmonies. Songs like "Leaf", "Oneself", and "Stray" travel into ethereal wastelands and are ambient soundscape pieces replete with nuances and unexpected twists. Word Color also makes room for beats, with the low pulse of jungle rhythms in "The Prayer"; IDM and electro fusion in "Word Color"; and even the sound of hi-tech breaks in "Sarphi Rocks".

Pina has been a key figure in Barcelona's electronic underground since the late '90s (Sloan, anyone?). His passion for musical experimentation has not only remained intact over time, it has also led him to develop his sound to a level of purification and thoroughness that has established its own distinct, immediately recognizable style. Transit continues to explore the sound that materialized in his albums Onda Corta (Lapsus, 2011) and Hum (Lapsus, 2013), and forms the final part in the trilogy. With slow and solid percussion midway between the laboratory and the dancefloor, Pina combines his characteristic muscular, distorted rhythms with soaring melodies and bubbling acid passages. Undoubtedly, his most brilliant and personal work to date. All songs by Pedro Pina. Mastered by Pedro Pina. Artwork by Basora. Cover photo by Albert Miralles. Last copies...
