Dark Matter Project



Doomcore Records Pod Cast 042 - Dark Matter Project - Corrosion Doomcore Mix

Nasty and distorted sounds by Dark Matter Project on the Doomcore Records Pod Cast series!
This is somewhere between Doomcore, Techno, Slowcore, Industrial and Ambient. Machine sounds, cold, relentless; metal hits on metal in abandoned factory halls; would work very well as a soundtrack to a Terminator-style movie. Did we mention it's also very surreal and hypnotic?
Crisp sound quality and good use of delay and reverberation. So take a listen now!

Speedcore And Slowcore Shox


A collection of tracks I did that were only available on compilations so far - including some very rare, enigmatic and hard-to-find ones. And, as a bonus, a yet unreleased track.
The styles on here are all over the map - mostly Oldschool Hardcore, Terror, and Speedcore, but also Slowcore, Techno, Acid, and lots of other things.
Often going back to sonic methods I used in the 90s, but at other times employing very futuristic, experimental approaches.
Usually very dark and distorted, but there are also has more calm, serene outings included.

The Speedcore Anthology


An anthology of Speedcore tracks produced by me when I was part of the early Speedcore scene, mid-90s to the mid-2000s years.
High BPMs up to 1000 and beyond, lots of noises, lots of samples.
Some productions are on the Ravecore side, some funny and more like parodies, some are dark and gloomy, and some just sheer noise terror.
A lot of these tracks had been released on vinyl back in the days by labels like Blut, Black Monolith or Widerstand, and have become collector items.
Others were more rare and obscure, or even unreleased.
But almost all of my main productions in the Speedcore genre of that era should be here.
And, as a bonus track, one newer production is included.
So, braze yourself for some speedy tracks, and enjoy this release!

This book is about the Experimental Hardcore Techno scene of the 90s. It tries to give an overview of this scene, and tries to explain what defined it, and what it set apart from the main currents of Techno, Dance and Hardcore culture in the 90s in general.
It talks about artists, labels, records, movements. And also looks at cultural, social, political connections, associations, implications of this very special form of music.

Taciturne


New Taciturne 12" !
My little review:
"This was the music I had in my Head in 1995-1997 but was not be able to produce at that time" says the producer himself about this record.
This is actually the first new musical output by Taciturne on vinyl since 24 years! And it definitely has been worth the wait.
What do we get here? This is some type of Hardcore and Speedcore with a very strong focus on atmosphere and emotion.
It can be compared to some earlier tracks by Taciturne - "Praxis Dr. Fischer" from the Otaku compilation comes in mind. But it is a much more advanced, improved version of it.
This is Taciturne at his maximum capabilities again.
If you're a Taciturne aficionado, getting this record is a no-brainer. If not, at least take a listen to it!
