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.

Pedro Pina has been a key figure in the Spanish electronic music underground since the late '90s. 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".

LAPSUS 016EP

Martin Jenkins, aka "the artist's artist", explores emotive techno in "Resist" and "Northern Safety Route", two tracks that coast through progressive arpeggios, slow pulsating beats, and soaring pads. Meanwhile, "Mainframe" and "Continental Drift" move through more ambient and melancholic terrains, two cinematic songs perhaps reminiscent of works by John Carpenter or Delia Derbyshire. This special release will also feature the collaboration of two of Spain's most prestigious independent graphic artists, Alex Trochut and Basora, whose artwork for Where Things Are Hollow is sure to become a collector's piece.

Run For The Shadows EP released by Lapsus Records. The kinematics and bubbling sonic frequencies of "Stream Four" and the emotional techno low pulse of "The Simplest Equation" will be well appreciated by fans Pye Corner Audio. Two extraordinary pieces of analog electronic music whose slow-motion dynamics adhere to the already mythical Black Mill Tapes. As for Dalhous, the beautiful and incredibly melancholic melodies of "The Essential Wander" are surrounded by an extraordinary rhythm section full of surprising twists. The brief but intense "Another Witnessed By Resolution" closes one of the best chapters in the history of Dalhous.

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...

Local contributions offer an accurate reflection of Spain's present effervescent creativity, from R&B sounds by Dr.Res (feat. SendiKa) and Drömnu to sampledelic house by unstoppable Sau Poler and continuum hardcore by Clip! and Pyrénées, plus surgical experimentation by the astonishing audiovisual project Playmodes and extremely personal offerings from beGun and Sistema.
