It's quite fitting we end the year almost as we started it. Back in January we presented an exclusive mix by an underground Australian label called Trapdoor Tapes. At that time we were relatively unfamiliar with the imprint and the mix and accompanying cassette quickly became a treasured item. Since that time, acts like Military Position , Luke Holland and others have become some of our favorite artists today. We are now pleased to present four new Trapdoor releases for the Winter season and as expected, each brings a unique sound and presentation that does not disappoint.
A fitting title for the release as it feels as if insects are crawling through your body. This is harsh noise and experimental electronics to a high degree. The screeching sounds of the decaying world will surely penetrate your soul. Limited edition cassette of 70 with a nice blue xerox card.
Hiroshi Hasegawa - Collapsed Amalgam
Brutal post-industrial noise. The corroding atmospheres of this release envelope you and crush your senses. A truly unique and cerebral auditory experience. Limited first edition of 70 copies Pro duplicated cassettes w/ black shells and double sided xerox sage card inlays.
Last Dominion Lost - Mort Aux Chiens
A live document recorded at the Epicurean Escapism Festival 2016. Mort Aux Chiens changes direction and offers an impressive industrial soundtrack filled with haunting vocals and mind-bending electronics. Artwork/design by Luke Holland. First edition pro duplicated cassette w/black shells and double sided xerox parchment card inlays.
Also available is the extremely limited Eraserhead - Blackhole Reversal, which offers Australian harsh noise filth the way it should. The second track is a remix by Luke Holland and the releases comes on recycled tapes with cream xerox cardstock inlay.
All in all, another impressive batch of tapes from one of the best labels operating in the genres of industrial, noise and power electronics. We love the presentation of the releases and the imprint's dedication to the sound. Do not miss these. For more, visit Trapdoor Tapes.
