PRECEPT 006EP
|
Alexander Suàrez debuts on Unknown Precept with A Los Mártires. Conceived as an ode to those who have spilled their blood for political ideologies that failed them and countries that were never their homes, its five techno hybrids show the Brooklyn-based Miami-expat shooting down unrestrained grooves, rusty samples, and saturated vocals while excavating lush sound-exploration tinged by local folklore and grievous metallic tones. It's conceptually grounded in the individual's inevitable assimilation into modern industrial society and the idea that resistance to and seduction of these systems can trap one in a push-and-pull-limbo from which the only escapes are rage or submission.

PRECEPT 005EP
|
Known for his venturesome take on industrial music, Philadelphia's Noah Anthony -- member of the wrenching experimental outfits Form a Log and Social Junk -- adds a more straightforward tone to his discography. Jumping from jerky, filtered, beat-driven tunes to more hostile, squeaky pieces, Extremities highlights the clash between convulsive rhythms and spasmodic sounds, hammering and twisting the tempo through unforgiving techno grooves. Its impassive development sees him stretching opposites from one end to the other by confronting classic club themes in daring, raw rhythmic experiments. As grotesque as it is confident; a contemporary look at modern electronic music.

PRECEPT 004EP
|
Nick Klein delivers a roaring and deafening debut EP for Unknown Precept: the live recording of Failed Devotee from his lair in Brooklyn. Five whirring pieces of slowed and throwed techno and heavy analog rhythms. Its powerful approach, marked by sooted synthesizers, watered down melodies, and grinding grooves, shows Klein at his finest, whether it brings soiled theatrics or rusty progressions.

PRECEPT 002EP
|
Damaskin, also involved in Unknown Precept's early actions, signs his first installment -- four impressive pieces oscillating between stentorian rhythms and rumbling distortions; Unseen Warfare stands as the blind witness, braving roars and linear grating, committed to oppressive bass and kevlar field drum tension.

PRECEPT 003EP
|
Maoupa Mazzocchetti's industrial-esque debut for Unknown Precept questions the primary inconstancy of music through five slices of proto-techno experiments; ranging from pile-driving kicks to rumbling bass, Maoupa's boiling mental activity vibrating and twitching in a very specific manner resulted in the live recording of "A-Tranquility," an EBM-styled extended-play browsing random directions while exploring muscular, deconstructed grooves as well as metallic, stodgy rhythms and noisy-atmospheric synth lines. Mastered by Matt Colton at Alchemy Mastering, London.
