RELEASES
NSA007 - DMX Krew - Brain Mutants EP
Brains rule for the next No Static / Automatic release as the hyper-prolific DMX Krew presents five new tracks of laser gun acid, bleepy electro and mutant tunnelling techno on Brain Mutants EP.
NS/A could not be more honoured to bring DMX Krew to the label, hugely influential in UK’s electronic music world, the sheer mass and relentless ingenuity of his release history is breathtaking. There’s over 24 albums and even more EPs released to date, found on Rephlex Records, his own Breakin and Fresh Up labels, and more recently a string of albums on Hypercolour Records. It really would not be right to pin him down to one style of beat with the expanse of his work covering braindance, electro funk, pop, acid, ambient, techno and beyond.
Working with the Aphex Twin created Sample Brain, old disco records and analogue synth notes were fed into the sample mashing web app to create the sounds used on this EP. Label boss Ara-u picked out his favourites from the palette which DMX Krew cut up, looped and added in rock-hard drums. The results are super playful, high calibre club tracks you expect from the one and only DMX Krew - designed for heavy impact on the club floor.
NSA006 - Manao - Definicion Cero EP
Maracaibo born, Berlin based Manao steps up next for No Static / Automatic with an EP that is deeply personal and built on the foundation of old-school electro inspired, bass-heavy beats. Featuring Dance Trax collaborator Viikatory, it is an expression of Manao’s up to date, upfront and playful take on the electro sound that is at the core output.
While this EP brings full energy for the dance, the "Definicion Cero" was born out of a period of change and challenge in Manao’s life. Losing his entire analogue studio to theft just after moving to Berlin, this music comes out of a period of upheaval and loss resulting in a creative reset. Starting again from zero and nothing but a Macbook Pro to create on, this number is also seen as a symbol of infinite potential and opportunity to lay new foundations. "Definicion Cero" is the opening of a new chapter for Manao and life as an artist in Berlin.
Limited edition vinyl (50 copies).
