Charged from awareness of current politics, socio-economic climates and connecting world events, Riot Season began as a way to vent and give focus and expression to lucid, conscious anger.

Gathered works from respected Combat-affiliated producers including Cursor Miner, Milanese, Scorn, Nonima, Fausten, Monster X, Stormfield as well as new allies Defunkt Dialekt, Dekode, Somatic Responses, FZV and Cedric von Flugel, the result is a compilation of hard, heavy acid and jungle influenced tracks that go straight for the jugular.

The tracks seethe and write with intense acid lines, snarling bass, dissonant stringwork melded with harsh, shrapnel-like drumwork, yet disciplined and precise in the way of all Combat Recordings output.

Designed mainly as an arsenal of sonic weapons for DJs, each one of these 15 peaktime destroyers stands strongly and proudly as an instrument of destruction on it's own. Bring it on.]]>

Tam Ferrans aka. Nonima has kept popping up on the radar in recent years as one of the most interesting and prolific electronic producers around. Unique in his ability to effortlessly traverse the dancefloor / abstract listening divide, Nonima’s forward-thinking, deeply introspective music has been released alongside Plaid, Autechre, Funckarma and more, and has long been supported by Combat, featuring heavily on the label’s Sub FM and Rinse FM radio shows.

It only was a matter of time before they got in touch, leading to remixes (Collapsing System) and releases (Monolith) on Combat. The pair have also collaborated on Section 27 (Sea Ice, Acid Recarpeted) and Acre Recordings (Dissensus remix).

Stratosphere, unlike their previous collaborations, began with the most basic of parts, literally a couple of strings and beats swapped back and forth, each person responding intuitively adding hardware jams, digital trickery and a tonne of minute sound design details.

Themed around technology and nature with lightning storms as their main inspiration, the EP winds it’s way through 5 startlingly varied, acid-drenched tracks laden with epic, wistfully melancholic stringwork, hinting at the influences like Deaf Centre and Autechre in equal measure. Sleek, mechanoid beat patterns shift and morph from peak-time physical attack mode to glitched-out machine malfunction, especially evident in “First Light”, “Rolling Thunder”, where frenzied drumwork contrasts with the slow pads to give an impression of being suspended weightless amidst rapid movement. Meanwhile, “Point Clouds” is a beast of an acid electro track which builds up to what sounds like a series of precise, controlled explosions and bassline pounding. “Distant Thunder” and “Northern Lights” feel like a beautiful calm after the fury.

This is Combat's first release since it's epic 10 year compilation last year, which spanned the labels hard-hitting history with the slew of all-star artists such as Milanese , Scorn, Ontal and more. Stratosphere sees the label steering left yet again, this time into the realm of abstract glitchy electronics. It should come as no surprise, as Autechre has always been one of the labels huge influences, equally as much as jungle and dark electro.]]>

Release date: 12 May
Format: digital

2. Rituals
3. Root and Stem
4. Spikes
5. Root and Stem (Fausten remix)

After a short hiatus, Combat is back and kicks off 2014 with a fierce new EP that introduces a new artist to the label, with a powerful collaboration from Ingen and Boris Noiz.

Scotland-based Ingen has been on th techno radar for quite a while now, building up an impressive discography that runs from complex poly-rhythms and soundscapes, crossing over to the darker side of techno, released via labels such as Them London, Darkfloor Sound, Noodles, Nerve recordings, Digital Distortions, Wired Room and Tribal Waves, including remixes for Si Begg, Temper D and Dirty Servant.

Rising Serbian producer Boris Noiz has been a stalwart of the Combat label for some years, and has an impressive string of releases via Yellow Machines, Lost in the Sound, Rottun, Bankai Audio, Syndetic, Subtrakt and Dub'n'Breaks. He's also half of the notorious Ontal duo, whose extreme dark/noise infused industrial techno has seen much support from Surgeon, AnD, Stormfield and Darkfloor. Boris is one who "confounds the notion that artists should stick to one idea or concept, having a seemingly clear vision on what he thinks the future should sound like. Connecting the dots between the past and present and paying deserved respect to the people who got us where we are today." - Darkfloor

Arriving at the Combat sound from the opposite ends of techno and old skool hardcore, this fierce EP combines the strengths of the two disciplines, fusing the former's state-of-the-art mechanical rhythms with the latter's hardcore whiplash breakbeats, gluing it all together with precise noise distortion and searing acid lines.

The result is deadly: From the jacking, stumbling techno of "Rituals", the interplay between precision noise blasts and thunderous bassdrums on "Symbols", to the arching 3/4 time acid lines of "Root and Stem" and the Sci-fi cannon gunfire drumwork of "Spikes" - The whole EP runs deep, dark and immersive with mechanoid rhythms. Insistent, primal and yet precise - a dystopian and ritualistic sound that resonates within blacked-out warehouses and fortified bass bunkers set in the future, as society disintegrates and civilisation falls apart outside it's walls.

As if that wasn't enough, darkside champions Fausten bring a bleak yet frenetic sci-fi slant to their remix of Root and Stem, mangling the original and rebuilding it with extra acid lines, mutant howling and apocalyptic atmospheres, tied together with intricate sound design. Soundtrack for flying over exploding cities.

One for fans of Rag & Bone Records, Surgeon, AnD, Ontal and Dadub.]]> remixer: Fausten

COMBAT033 is the latest salvo from the uncompromising Combat imprint, with label head Stormfield’s original productions. Though the tracks come in several different styles and tempos, the unifying theme for this release is acid, acid and more acid.

Rebuild is a 140bpm dark electro beast of broken machine rhythms and huge bassdrums underpinning the dramatic sci fi drones and edgy paranoid strings. Multiple 303 patterns chatter in a 4 way conversation, as the acid structure builds, changes form and builds itself again over a melting 8 minutes.

Collapsing System goes in a cinematic direction instead, conjuring imagery of gigantic structures slowly exploding and crumbling undersea, dense reverbs and echoes resounding in 3 dimensional space.

Sea Ice is a slow "winter techno" track that calls to mind Antarctic winds, cracking ice floors, marching through thick snow for miles and miles. Similar in style to the dub techno output of Deepchord, but armed with the characteristic snarl and sharp drumwork you’d expect from Combat. Ironically the track was started on one of the hottest weekends in summer, as a way to take the mind off the heat.

The tracks get the remix treatment from a some new allies to the clan:

Current UK electro scene favourite Defekt has won favour with Rob Booth (Electronic Explorations) and Dave Clarke for his warm, analogue electro and turns Rebuild into a minimalist, bass-heavy dance floor track driven by throbbing, pulsing drum machines and technoid bleeps.

London-based, Bulgarian-born producer Errorbeauty reworks the tranquility of Collapsing System into relentless apocalyptic acid, brutal electro designed for lights-out basement style carnage, yet infused with playful bleeps of melodic detail between the jagged rhythms.

Nonima, one of Scotland’s most underrated electronic producers turns in a fierce, technical workout of a track, in the form of a syncopated techno remix reminiscent of some of Surgeon’s early dance floor works.

This is an EP that wears its rebellious streak on it’s sleeve. But don’t think this is anti-dance music. Scaring your audience and moving them are not mutually exclusive. This is music for dystopian dance floors.]]> title: Collapsing System EP

http://combatrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/empires-remixes-part-2

The “Empires remixes series part 2” promises to be one of Anodyne's best projects yet, seeing the original tracks masterfully reworked by electronic legends Plaid, as well as highly regarded producers Anstam, Roel Funcken, Dead Fader, 214, Defekt, Lackluster, Subjex, Devilman (DJ Scotch Egg) and rising new producers Boris Noiz and Combat's new act Fausten.

Tracks appear in this order:

1.Empire of Light - Boris Noiz mix
2. Empire of Light - Subjex remix
3. Empire of Time - Defekt mix
4.Empire of Glass - Plaid mix
5.Empire of Glass - 214 mix
6.Empire of Glass - Devilman mix

[Empire of Light - Boris Noiz mix]
"Noiz confounds the notion that artists should stick to one idea or concept, having a seemingly clear vision on what he thinks the future should sound like. Connecting the dots between the past and present and paying deserved respect to the people who got us where we are today." - *Darkfloor*

Twisted future hardcore rinse outs, sublime orchestration and dextrous edits define his sound, on display here with majestic Black Dog-esque strings and fierce, clattering jungle / hardcore riffage atop a massive bassdrum.

Hailing from Subotica, Serbia, Boris Noiz one of the most adept new producers to join the Combat clan. Shockingly knowledgable across various disciplines, he is able to deftly switch from neo-hardcore jungle (on ScanOne's Yellow Machines label) to old skool acid house (Lost in the Sound) to skittering broken techno (his remix of Point B, championed by Surgeon and DJ Substance).

He's also turned in one of the best Scorn remixes to date (forthcoming on Combat).

[Empire of Light - Subjex remix]
Subjex is the production incarnation of Matthieu Debliqui from Lille, France. Subjex's warped sonics first came to our attention via a 10" on Planet Mu, and later releases via Somia, Combine, Schematic, and (soon) Detroit Underground. He also runs his own imprints Bedroom Research and In Vitro Recordings.

The sound of Subjex is hard to pin down, as diverse as it is precise, swinging from dubby hip hop to pounding hi-tech dubstep to searing acid electro breakbeats, and that's just for starters. What's unique though is his ability to apply precision sound design to smash up the dancefloors, as proven by "Maneken Acid"which was championed by Rob Hall and Stormfield. Subjex's production style is typified by spending ages laboriously working and reworking material until all sounds are interconnected on most tunes, with melodies generated by the beats themselves.

Here he reworks Anodyne's Empire of Light into an epic charging beast of a track, colossal kickdrums and snarling bleeps like a giant robot gone mad, flattening whole cities before letting Anodyne's strings infuse the space in the 2nd half of the track.

[Empire of Time - Defekt mix]
Dublin-based DeFeKT is an Irish Electro Dj/producer influenced by future technologies, synthetic music from the influence of Kraftwerk and science fiction writer Philip K Dick. He is the only artist to remix Empire of Time, Defekt reworks the original into a rolling, warm mechanoid barrage of solid chunky electro, tense, pulsing and assured.

Working to a strict discipline of "Drum machines, synths and sci-fi" he uses hardware to steadfastly champion "true" electro against the confusing glut of electro house, his music has been released via labels such as BFP, Take Over recordings, Alkalinear Recordings, New flesh records and AC records.

[Empire of Glass - Plaid mix]
THE Warp legends Plaid should need absolutely no introduction, really.
We're really proud that they agreed to remix for us, and even happier that it's no less that a Plaid acid track, masterfully built and reminiscent of their 303-drenched Psil-Cosyin from their Spanners and Peel Sessions albums.

[Empire of Glass - 214 mix]
"Seattle resident by way of Miami, audio mulcher of the electro sound." Chris Roman aka. 214 has been pushing his own melodic, polished take on electro for near on a decade, via labels such as Mikrolux, Ai records, Digital Distortions, Outside Recordings, Touchin' Bass, Car Crash Set, Harbour City Sorrow/Clone Records, and more recently Frustrated Funk/Clone Records, Hypercolour and Fortified Audio.

Having met up with Stormfield in Miami 2003, contact has been maintained ever since as both developed their own projects over the years. Predominantly performing in the US, 214 has brought his sound to the UK via performances at the Bloc Festival and releases on Andrea Parker's Touchin' Bass label.

[Empire of Glass - Devilman mix]
Devilman is a side project of DJ Scotch Egg (born Shigeru Ishihara), a Japanese producer of chiptune / gabber / industrial noise music now based in Berlin. A long time affiliate of Brighton's Wrong Music crew, he went on to release his insane output via Adaadat, Junior Aspirin Records, 3 by 3 Music and now Combat. At a recent gig in Berlin he jokingly said "I don't know how to write music, I just make distortion", but the opposite is true - he harnesses powerful analogue distortion and crafts it perfectly to absolutely devastating dancefloor effect.]]> release :: out now! click link below

Veteran electronic producer Anodyne kicks off 2012 with this fierce remix pack.

Building upon the powerful Empires EP, the Empires remixes feature superbly engineered re-interpretions by the likes of Dead Fader, AQF (Anstam), Roel Funcken, Lackluster and Fausten.

This preview contains parts of tracks in the following order:

1.Empire of Light - Roel Funcken mix
2.Empire of Light - Dead Fader mix
3.Empire of Light - Anstam’s Quaint Freud mix
4.Empire of Dust - Lackluster mix
5.Empire of Glass - Fausten's Circle of Manias

[Empire of Light - Roel Funcken mix]
The Netherlands-based producers Funckarma brothers have consistently released their unique take on electronic music for over a decade, applying their advanced sound design to create dense, detailed storm of unpredictable rhythms, fleeting melodies and scorching acid lines. Roel Funcken has been prolific in his solo output over the past few years, with a brilliant album on Berlin’s Ad Noiseam label fusing the trademark intricacy of Funckarma more dancefloor focused rhythms of electro, 2 step and dubstep. Here he applies the same bass-heavy focus to Empire of Light, balancing the brooding dread bass with beautiful, wintery light keys and a rushing acid line.

[Empire of Light - Dead Fader mix]
Former Brighton noise terrorist now based in Berlin, Dead Fader has cause all sorts of sonic mayhem since their first album Corrupt my Examiner (3 by 3 music) and more recently the Luckeey EP on Tigerbeat 6. It might surprise fans that Dead Fader also has a melodic side, and very good it is too. Some of that is visible here with a long, lush intro and lush improvised melodies that almost cushion you before the trademark Dead Fader beats crunch in with speaker-destroying force.

[Empire of Light - Anstam’s Quaint Freud mix]
Lars Stöwe, mastermind behind the Germany’s brilliant Anstam, steps up to remix the Empire of Light under his alias AQF (Anstam’s Quaint Freud). Adopting the tense, melancholic euphoria of Anstam’s recent album, he reworks the rest in a totally different direction, with big rolling drums and psychedelic Moog atmospherics. This has torn up various dancefloors from the Mutek Fest in Canada to the Alphaville Fest in London and Elevate in Austria.

[Empire of Dust - Lackluster mix]
Having remixed Anodyne’s brilliant Corrosion album, the Finnish veteran producer return with a powerful rework for Empire of Dust, furious, fierce crisp beats riding atop a big rolling sub, brooding atmospherics and awesome synth work, with huge searing strings that make you feel like you’re standing still in time, with gaze locked into the distant future/past.

[Empire of Glass - Fausten's Circle of Manias]
Fausten - shadowy new artist on Combat turns in their first release for the label, completely transforming the original’s strings into a wave of majestic, dark euphoria that ride over a blistering attack of obtuse, analog kickdrums and searing precision noise in disjointed mechanoid rhythm. Like the more contemplative sibling to AFX’s Isoprophlex, or perhaps Autechre and Alva Noto having fun making a hardcore rave track.]]>
