dISHARMONY: Cloned - Other Side of Evolution [TA005]

Coming to Tympanik Audio in April 2008 is the definitive remix collection by one of the most prolific and under-rated dark electro acts in operation, the talented Slovakian duo Disharmony. Fresh off the heels of their fantastic 3rd album, last year's 'Malignant Shields' on Aliens Production, Disharmony compiles their most beloved remixes, including 3 new tracks, into one fantastic collection of music. 15 beautifully crafted dark electronica tracks driven by sloppy-wet beats, haunting synthlines, chilling samples, and razor-sharp vocals. Beauty meets complexity in a brilliant marriage of orchestral dark electro and savvy electronica. Available now on Tympanik Audio. Click here to order

Subheim: Approach [TA004]

Subheim is the deeply personal project of electronic music composer and visual artist Kostas K., a downtempo, experimental venture fusing IDM elements with rich ambiance and female vocals by Katja. Complex and uncompromising, Subheim's debut album on Tympanik Audio is full of intricate rhythms, deep reverbs, and bitcrushed sounds, combined with pianos, cellos, and beautiful synthwork. Haunting melodies and distant voices meet complex beats and luring atmospheres to create a unique blend of dynamics and emotion. 'Approach' flirts with post-rock and atmospheric downtempo styles, while still maintaining an original sound that is both captivating and inspirational. Moved by subjects such as urban isolation and the outburst of mankind's deepest emotions, Subheim delivers the ideal soundtrack for those moments of chaos or melancholy reflections. 'Approach' is the highly-anticipated debut album from this talented Greek artist. Featuring remixes by Mobthrow (GR) and Flaque (GER). Click here to order

Totakeke: eLekatota - The Other Side of the Tracks [TA003]

The brilliant new album from New York producer, Frank Mokros (Synth-etik / Hands Productions) featuring 13 stunning tracks of complex rhythmic Industrial. With previous remix collaborations flanking the likes of Terrorfakt, Imminent, Radial, and Klangstabil, 2 successful releases for Frozen Empire Media, and a radiant new track on the recent Tympanik Audio compilation 'Emerging Organisms', Totakeke is back with his 2nd full-length album that proves to be his finest work yet. From start to finish, 'eLekatota' manages to effortlessly merge several genres of electronic music into one seamless body of work, without distorting the mood or veracity of the album as a whole. Each track feels alive, constantly morphing and shifting into new directions without the slightest loss of cohesiveness. A masterful collage of addictive rhythms, richly-layered beats, intriguing samples, and cavernous atmospherics, that all seem to somehow replenish themselves with each listen. 'eLekatota: The Other Side of the Tracks' is timeless opus that is sure to be hailed as one of the finest Industrial productions in years. Available now on Tympanik Audio. Click here to order
