Christian Engh is a character left out of the Lords Of Chaos movie. They were the kids hanging around the infamous record store of Euronymous. He wore black before it became techno…

Buttechno presents Badtrip, a double EP dropping on Trip. Pavel Milyakov is an artist from Moscow whose sonic explorations have, alongside his peers, helped form a new frontier in the vast realm of Russian electronica. Under his most familiar alias of Buttechno, his eccentric productions form a continual study into the extremes of rhythm-based music and spatial manipulation. Badtrip is a complex meeting of the comic and the deranged.

A renegade rave at the state lines with dual headliners FSOM and Andy Rantzen. Architects of the Future Sound of Melbourne, FSOM reigned as their city’s scene evolved from underground clubs to vast waterfront wonderlands, alternating between playing studio tracks off cassette and jamming live. The combination of Josh Abrahams, Davide Carbone and Steve Robbins, the trio slipped a DAT to Belgian touring artist Frank De Wulf who signed them for their first international release on Two Thumbs. Track 6’s sinister bassline and mind obliterating stabs continued to travel as a staple of Sven Väth and John Wink’s record bags. 1993 to eternity. Andy Rantzen’s Harmonic Eye speaks a similar vocabulary. Running parallel to FSOM in Sydney, Rantzen united the masses with Paul Mac as Itch-E + Scratch-E, producing crystalline rave, cheeky breakbeat and techno resistance. Lifted off his downtempo 1999 solo CD The Blue Hour, Harmonic Eye is a certified warehouse burner of alarming alien bleep and widescreen trance. Once you were blind, now you can see.
