Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to my homepage! It's split into 3 parts: 1. My blog / feed, where I talk about my music but also about random stuff. 2. "Releases and Activities", where I list projects and releases that I'm involved in, without all the banter. There is where you want to go if you are mainly interested in my music and activism. 3. And the menu on the side that links to my bio, labels, and so on. Enjoy your stay!

You can now submit tracks for The Slowcore Compilation - Part 4-12


The Slowcore Compilation - Part 4-12

The messages keep piling up in our inboxes. "When is the next Slowcore compilation?", "Have submissions for the next Slowcore compilation started yet?", "Can I send you a track for the next Slowcore compilation already?", "Please let me know when the next Slowcore compilation takes place".

Okay, people. We can take a hint!
So let's get down to 'action'.

But some background info first:
The Slowcore Compilation Part was a big surprise 'hit' (or 'thing') back in 2021. We did a call for submissions, got much more tracks than we thought we would, released them all, and the response was - huge! It became the 4th most poplar release by the Doomcore Records label family within a few weeks. (Most popular are the releases by Nkisi btw - and you of course can't beat "Doomed Techno Superstar" Nkisi). And reached a lot of people far beyond the Hardcore, Techno, or even Electronic spectrum.

After these developments, we planned something even bigger for 2022 - a compilation at least twice (or thrice!) the size than the first thing.
But upon further reflection, we adjusted the plan a bit; and wanted to release 2 smaller compilations instead, one in the 1st, one in the last quarter of the year. But, and this was probably inevitable, both became almost as big when it comes to numbers of track etc. as the first.

So, what's going to happen next?
In 2021 we had 1 big compilation, in 2022 two compilations, and now?
We briefly returned to the thought of having one really, really huge compilation with as much tracks as possible.
And then reflected on it again.

Instead we want to do a series of small compilations. Quite a lot of smaller compilations, actually.
The concept is more or less to do release a "mini compilation EP" centered around Slowcore each month, for a number of months on and on, with something like 5-6 tracks by different artists.
Your monthly Slowcore comp! But the time span is not set yet, as it is bit dependent on how many tracks we get, how busy we are etc. so it could be a bit shorter or longer. Also, the number of tracks on the mini-compilations could change. (And, it is completely up in the air if we really do "Part 4, going on until part 12").

But anyway, without further ado:
Feel free to sent in tracks, beginning from today!

The rules are:

1. Tracks must be slower than 126 BPM.
2. Any slow dark, electronic style is allowed. Slowcore with elements of Doomcore, or Industrial Hardcore, or even slow Techno music, and so on, it's all okay. It must have a audible beat though, so no pure beat-less Drone, Noize or Dark Ambient tracks, please ;-)
3. Tracks should be sent to low.entropy.80@gmail.com with topic "The Slowcore Compilation Part 4"
4. We don't do mastering. If you want to have your track mastered, you have to take care of that yourself (it's not necessary though, if the sound quality of your track is good, it doesn't need to be "mastered").

5. Deadline for the first mini-comp - "The Slowcore Compilation Part 4" is the 1st of July, 2032 - or 01.07.2023 23:59 GMT +2
6. As indicated, we will only release a limited numbers of tracks on this one - but if we like your track, it might get released on one of the next mini-compilations (in the next month, or later). So 'leftover' tracks from the submissions will eventually be used, too.
7. And because of this, you can send in as many tracks per alias as you want! But don't be annoyed when it takes longer until it gets released, or if it does not get approved at all.

8. Any further questions, inquiries, comments, should be directed to: low.entropy.80@gmail.com

In a departure from his usual breakneck speed productions, GumGumKing unveils a haunting soundscape in "Burning."

A symphony of metamorphosis, where the essence of "Burning" is reimagined and elevated to new heights. Bohemian's remix exudes an enigmatic allure, blending intricate textures with thunderous beats, while Librarium injects a surge of raw power, intertwining pulsating rhythms with hypnotic atmospheres.

And if that's not enough to satiate your hunger for sonic warfare, GumGumKing unleashes his remixing prowess upon ZornusMaximus' ferocious anthem, "War." Brace yourself for a relentless assault of blistering beats, scorching synths, and a cataclysmic fusion of Hardcore and Techno. It's a maelstrom of sound that leaves no survivors in its wake.

Prepare yourself for the relentless onslaught of fierce, brutal Industrial Hardcore and Techno. With meticulous craftsmanship and a penchant for pushing boundaries, this EP delivers an auditory experience that is both ultra-distorted and beautifully chaotic. Surrender to the mastery of GumGumKing, Bohemian, and Librarium as they ignite the flames of sonic revolution with "Burning EP."

As you delve deeper into the EP, "Here Comes The Darkness" beckons you into its foreboding embrace, a sonic landscape where shadows dance and nightmares become reality. The title track, "Inter Dimensional," serves as the ethereal gateway between dimensions, pulling you into a realm where time and space lose all meaning, and only the pulsating beats remain as your guide.

Embrace the relentless onslaught of Doomcore Records number 193 and allow yourself to be consumed by the malevolent energy that flows through each track. This release will captivate your senses, transporting you to a realm where the boundaries of sound are shattered and the very essence of your being is transformed.

Heavy drumming in between Hardcore, Industrial and Techno; evocative, devastating, bittersweet harmonies and melodies; a steady rhythm and flow of percussion and sounds that are both entrancing and hypnotic.

From the ominous echoes of "Terminus" to the pulsating energy of "Artifact," and the abyssal depths explored in "Abyss," the EP takes you on an immersive sonic journey. The title track, "Browsing," serves as the grand finale.

A well crafted Doomcore release that bridges the gap between the Oldschool and newer sounds.
