Women of the Pore

WOMEN OF THE PORE,

NEW BRUNSWICK BASED BUNKER JAZZER

This clandestine group of musicians, have produced a great amount of work in a short amount of time. Combining the heft industrial music, the lift off of free jazz, crankiness of power electronics, add in some pulsing bass, a sense of isolation, and some serious sound design; you begin to understand where these artists are coming from…The underground. This subterranean troop of troublemakers have a vision and know how to deliver it, leaving it up to you, the listener to put the pieces together.

Releases on Nevermind Tapes, Magic Mother, Noisy Forecast, Patient Records, Arachnidiscs, and Orb Tapes.

Abaunz

ABAUNZ IS THE WORK OF ONE XAVIER UCIN.

An enigma based out of the Iberian Peninsula situated in the rugged terrain of the Basque mountains.

We are proud to bring you Abaunz fantastic debut release. A sound all his own, and a bar set high by a real talent.

This is a force to keep your eyes on.

MOS FET & Eustress

MOS FET & EUSTRESS, ART TWO, LONG TIME FRIENDS

WHO RESIDE IN INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA.

There is an undeniable working bond, heard on each track they create; an ability to pivot and feed one another strengths, hint at a collaboration going back many more years, than the duo have actually produced together.

These merchants of mutant midwestern mutations, cook up vibes emotive and pastural, pulling at heartstrings, then slamming doors, swallowing the key, burning down the club, with stapler to the head madness, at once about to fall off the rails

before being expertly reeled back in. These two always ensure that the listener is taken on an interesting ride through the unique lens, these talented auteurs envisioned.

MOS FET and Eustress (as Street Urchin) have both released solo material on NEO and Absolute Trax

ANDREW HAINES HAILES

FROM THE CLOCAEMOG FOREST

IN NORTHERN WALES.

Situated among the hills, his productions channel the local, and ancient Ordovices’, druidic essences, through rhythmic manipulations, weaving natural, shamanistic rituals with industrial mechanistic precision, and wild techno paganism. Radar made of reverb, conjuring, abandoned, invisible, and forgotten practices into focus. These monolithic gestures, remind us all, that customs of the past remain within our being, everywhere we have been, and everywhere we go, we are the continuation.

Andrew also records under Midnight Circuitry, and with Ae2 Multimedia. He creates visual art and Djs.

Past release on Kimochi, Lost Elements Netlabel, Sleep FUSE, and Haunted Port

GÁBOR KOVÁCS WORKS AS ÚJ BÁLA,

AN AUDIO AND VISUAL ARTIST

HAILING FROM BUDAPEST HUNGARY.

He produces the most acid fried techno-funk you have ever heard. Merging psychedelic textures, complex noise frequencies, industrial rhythm, all while maintaining a snarled lip and punk swagger. Through hypnotic techno informed electronic jams, Gábor elicits a strange joy in his syncopated beats. Casting waves of synth-ethic spells, this wizard has awoken a storm in the Pearl of the Danube.

Gábor also works as Cranky Bow and is 1/2 Dutch Courage.

Releases on Dalmata Dainiel, Baba Vanga, Lost Dogs Entertainment, Altered States Tapes, and Czaszka Records.

Reinartz

**MEXICO BORN, BERLIN BASED PRODUCER (KURT) REINARTZ,**

IS A FINE PURVEYOR OF MODERN FUTURIST SOUNDS.

Combining elements of ambient soundscapes, lean techno, glitch tripping, and experimental explorations. Kurt’s productions layer thrilling flourishes with heaps of detail exposing a finely tuned tug of war, between tension and release.

In the wrong hands the futuristic framework, Reinartz often works in, can come off as cold or robotic, however, with precision, he renders each waveform malleable, to human touch, adding warmth and beauty all his own.

You can catch him djing a menagerie of club cuts, as DJ Sterni during Sunday Club events around Berlin (and beyond).
