SubXtOrt returns to Format Recordings for the politically charged and musically diverse Harsh Duality EP. Forged amidst the social awakening and reckoning of Americaâs future, this EP spans four tracks that each explores a different sonic aesthetic.
Chicago label Format Recordings returns to form with an epic collection of artists hand-selected to drive the evolution of the labelâs contribution to the techno lexicon, including this premiere from Komprezzor.
Today’s 6AM Guest Mix comes from a Chicago-based artist we not only respect for her work as an artist and promoter, but consider a personal friend and one of the key figures in pushing techno in Chicago throughout the last several years.
Brenda began DJing in 2013 and has quickly risen to become one of Chicagoâs best techno talents. She is lead A&R for Format Recordings, resident DJ and co-producer of their weekly techno podcast series, Format.FM, and joint curator of the Format underground warehouse event series.
A new entry from one of Format Recording‘s leading artist, Komprezzor takes no prisoners with his EP GLXY. This four track release will take you on a journey through the teknified cosmos with no point of return.
Full of white noises and atmospheric riffs the percussive elements of Komprezzor’s live sets are extracted from classic drum machines such as the legendary 808, 606, 909, and 303, all of which slowly morph into a hypnotic rhythm.
With this EP, Komprezzor translates the energy and technical skills of his live improvised set into a collection of four tracks perfect for peak-time play.
