先说个题外话。尽管电音以日新月异的速度向前发展，但总有一些专辑已成为了永恒的经典。凭心而论，可能我多少有些怀旧情结，毕竟90年代的一些专辑是我的电音初恋，从第一次接触的一见钟情到多少年来的反复聆听，以至于它们在我心目中变得无法超越，例如这张《Timeless》，就像《The Fat Of The Land》之于big beat、《Mezzanine》之于trip hop、《 Second Toughest in the Infants》之于techno、《Lifeforms》之于氛围拼贴一样，它在我心中的地位早已经处于Drum’n´Bass至高点。过多的个人情感尽量避及，以免对大家造成误导，不过对于这样一张Drum’n´Bass史上以至整个Electronica史上有着重要意义的专辑在very cd里只看到一张1CD有损版本，未免有一些遗憾。相信老电音迷们早已领略过它的风采，而新电音迷们至少也听说过它的大名，鉴于它过分完美的录音和制作特此奉上无损版本。而且接下来时间里将陆续发布一些90年代的经典电音专辑，算是补漏遗缺。无论你是初次接触，还是再次回味，相信这些不可忽略的经典之声都能将你感染

This is my noir, post-punk & dnb adventure about saving yourself and saving the world
MADE WITH A MIX OF SADNESS AND ANGER. A DESIRE TO GO BACK IN TIME. TO SAVE MY YOUNGER SELF FROM ME AND FROM FALSE IDOLS OF AUTHORITY WHOSE VOICE I WAS FORCED TO LISTEN AND WORSHIP. TO CRUSH THE CITYSCAPE AND RUN AWAY FROM EVERYTHING.

Moscow based Ivan Karasev aka Torn inked his Samurai affiliation in 2017 with his first-ever solo vinyl release on Shiro, a sub-label for highlighting new artists.
In the 5 years that have passed since this release, the Torn name has progressed into a widescreen sonic project leaving an indelible mark not only on DnB but also reaching into the outer edges of the underground Techno scene.
As well as his monster debut EP (Internal - SMDE10) on the main Samurai label in 2018, Torn became one of the few artists to garner a release on Homemade Weapons' imprint Weaponry in 2019, a year which also saw him release an EP of Grey Area style Techno on Horo and a collab EP in the same style with Sam KDC and Korse as Vermisst, also on Horo.
Since these releases, Torn has teamed up with fellow Russian artist Roho for an EP of percussive floor shakers in 2021 on Samurai Music (Fatum - SMDE19) and several self-released projects direct to his growing base of devoted Torn heads. In the background, the last few years Ivan has been diligently refining and experimenting with constructions for his debut LP for the Samurai Music label.
Borderline fulfils the promise of Ivans musical ascendancy in our sub-scene netherworld between DnB and Techno. Gut-punch kicks entwine with dense atmospheric layers, gnawing mid-riffs, and impeccably honed percussive propulsion. The cake is iced meticulously with guest collabs from Samurai Music top tier affiliates Homemade Weapons, Last Life, label head Presha and a tempo switch up to close the LP with the help of dungeon master Sam KDC and close cohort Korse.
Borderline plants a confident, empowered, flag on the electronic music landscape with Torn's name on it.

Recorded 2006-2007 in Brooklyn, New York & San Francisco, California.

Wardown, the emotive and experimental project from Technimatic's Pete Rogers, releases second LP on Blu Mar Ten Music
Where the debut Wardown album was a diary of smeared memory, musically recounting the author's childhood home and his subsequent feelings of dislocation from it, Wardown II expands on the themes of nostalgia and focuses on our collective reactions to a promised future that remains undelivered.
Using aural scraps from that most optimistically futurist period, the 1950s & 1960s, Wardown weaves them into an uneasily dreamy, bittersweet commentary on postmodern nostalgia. The album veers between otherworldly, euphoric harmonies and pumping, mechanical incantations of promises for a new age.
"Household robots
110-year lifespan
Continued automation
Genetic control
Man-Machine symbiosis
Wideband communications
Continued urbanisation"
Wardown II is a vision of the future from the past; an artist's attempt to capture the performative, rootless nostalgia that infects our culture, media and art.
About the artist:
Pete Rogers is half of D&B Duo Technimatic, releasing numerous albums on Shogun Audio and further singles on a range of other labels such as Good Looking Records, RAM, Hospital and their own label Technimatic Music, garnering acclaim from the likes of Resident Advisor, Mixmag, Thump, UKF and tastemaking DJs such as Annie Mac and Giles Peterson.
