  1. Drone-028: Death In Vegas- COUM | Lightning Bolt – Live Versions

    Comments Off on Drone-028: Death In Vegas- COUM | Lightning Bolt – Live Versions

    Release date // Dec 12th , 2025
    Format // 12″, digital
    Catalog Nr // Drone 027
    Purchase // 2LP, digital

    Track listing:
    COUM – Live Version
    Lightning Bolt – Live Version

    Death in Vegas return with a new 12” featuring two live tracks, both recorded at EartH Theatre in London.

    On the A side is COUM, a laconic, sexy, dark wave track born out of a recording session for Black Acid, Richard Fearless’ New York psyche project, at Keyclub recording studio in Michigan. Fearless always felt that it belonged to the Death in Vegas camp, and he released a reworked version on DIV’s Trans Love Energies. Here, atmospheric, reversed synths drive the Linn drum beat, while new DIV collaborator Surgeon’s Girl’s ethereal synths float in and out sealing the magic.
    On the reverse, Death in Vegas summon the dead with a stunning ambient version of Lightning Bolt, another song off Trans-Love Energies, and one that catches Death in Vegas at their most fragile

    Both songs were recorded live in 2025 at EartH Theatre in Dalston, London by Jamie Harley and later mixed by Nick Powell.

    Release date // June 6th , 2025
    Format // 2LP, digital
    Catalog Nr // Drone 027
    Purchase // 2LP, digital

    Track listing:
    Chingola
    Lovers
    While My Machines Gently Weep
    Hazel
    Roseville
    Róisín Dub(h)
    Robin’s Ghosts
    Your Love
    Death Mask

    Death In Vegas return with new album ‘Death Mask’, where disintegration, overload and total sonic immersion tell a personal tale. With dirty circuitry and rough-hewn textures at the fore, this is gritty, unpolished techno; an audio outlier that’s full of personality, and a bold artistic statement. It’s closer in DNA to the grainy growl of sunn O))), or the searing intensity of Underground Resistance at their fiercest, and as far from generic influencer business as you could possibly get.

    “I’ve been soaking in Ramleh’s ‘Hole In the Heart’, the machine funk of Terrence Dixon’s Population One, Jamal Moss’ psychedelic techno jams, the stunning minimalism of Mika Vanio’s Ø and Panasonic, the layered drones of LOOP, and drowning in the acid of TM 404”

    Broader inspirations are weaved into the album’s fabric too; from his Thameside Metal Box studio and evocations of nautical ghosts, to lamentations for a broken world, to memories of a youthful Detroit pilgrimage, and the innocent fraternity of rave euphoria, there’s a lot going on, acting as a chronicle of moments, and locations.

    Track listing:
    1 Your Love

    On June 6th Death In Vegas return with new album ‘Death Mask’, where disintegration, overload and total sonic immersion tell a personal tale. 

    A moment of intimacy and healing resolution on the album is its pivotal arc – ‘Your Love’ – where Fearless finds solace in the care from his partner, whose whispered vocals glide over nerve-tingling synths, which radiate an icy rapture, like stepping out of a rave at 6am, cold, frazzled, but beatific, still glowing in ecstasy.

    B: Acid Rejects Volume 1 (Vinyl exclusive)

    A total sonic violation yet bewitchingly beautiful, ‘While My Machines Gently Weep’ sits on the precipice of overload, with Orwellian echoes of humanity’s ugliness.

    Acid Rejects Volume 1. A minimal sonic ritual which transcends into a sublime 303 and 909 duel.

  7. Drone-025: Carlo Maria – INVERNO

    Comments Off on Drone-025: Carlo Maria – INVERNO

    Release date // June 23, 2023
    Format // 12″, digital
    Catalog Nr // Drone 025
    Purchase // 12″, digital

    Track listing:
    A1: Exhumed
    A2: Sotto Terra
    B1: Winter Sun
    B2: Luna Piena

    Heart-wrenching ambient to cerebral techno: INVERNO is Carlo Maria’s debut on Drone.

    ‘Winter in the northern hemisphere is often seen as the season of death, a state of life so often negatively connoted. I see winter as an incubator of change, where life takes the time to free its potential again.

    This record is a memory of past winters and a reminder that new ones will come. It celebrates the state of stillness as a necessary element of movement. It is an invitation to acceptance. The music itself might not necessarily express these ideas, but it acts as a trigger of memories and feelings of the times when these recordings were conceived. I like to see music recordings as pages of a diary.

    This music was recorded in a time and space span of various years and locations. Exhumed was recorded at the end of October 2016 in Berlin; the other three tracks were recorded in Milan and performed live in various locations across Italy between in winter/spring 2021/2022.’

  8. Drone-024: Kalli – Soft Play

    Comments Off on Drone-024: Kalli – Soft Play

    Release date // March 31, 2023
    Format // 12″, digital
    Catalog Nr // Drone 024
    Purchase // 12″, digital

    Track listing:
    A: Soft Play
    B: Gems Per Capita

    Originally from Manchester now based in Lewes, Kalli co-runs the GODDEZZ parties and record label.

    Sonically, Kalli can’t hold back when interconnecting the dots of hoover synths, electro, gritty rave and off-kilter weirdness. Soft Play is a primal techno beast with punk undertones and monstrous hoover rave drop. Gems Per Capita shows Kalli in full club mode, unleashing a bass heavy electro tinged track with a killer Acid break; a peak time weapon.

    The memory of trying to naively connect to an identity, along with searching for daily eccentric enjoyment in a rural, rainy post-industrial town’ Kalli.

  9. Drone-023: Richard Fearless – Future Rave Memory

    Comments Off on Drone-023: Richard Fearless – Future Rave Memory

    Release date // November 5, 2021 (Vinyl ships from December 17, 2021)
    Format // 12″, digital
    Catalog Nr // Drone 023
    Purchase // 12″, digital

    Tracklisting:
    A1: Tamas
    A2: Earth Tapes
    A3: Future Rave Memory
    B1: Vision
    B2: Rotation Axis
    B3: Our Acid House

    Richard Fearless follows his critically acclaimed psycho-geographical techno masterpiece ‘Deep Rave Memory’ with its companion album ‘Future Rave Memory’.

    Across titanium kosmische, industrial ambience, weightless acid and dark drone, this new record is an instrument of evocative wonder and heavy emotion. A dystopian ambient album and work of modernist meditation set firmly in an era when humanity is reckoning with its outsized place in the natural world, a process which may evoke humility, defiance, denial or despair.

     

  10. Drone – 022: Container – Creamer EP

    Comments Off on Drone – 022: Container – Creamer EP

    Release date // August 27, 2021
    Format // 12″, digital
    Catalog Nr // Drone 022
    Purchase // 12″, digital

    Tracklisting:
    A1: Creamer
    A2: Rippler
    B1: Shingles
    B2: Sniffers

    Container is the solo project of American-born, London-based musician Ren Schofield, who has refined a signature sound over the last decade. Combining his background in drumming and lo-fi noise with techno and rhythmic electronics, Container has cemented himself as a distinctive and disorderly force in modern electronic music.

    ‘My intentions and goals for this record were to make it way more ‘rock’ oriented than ‘techno’, almost as if it could be a band or adapted by one (albeit a rather non-traditional one), and I wanted to incorporate some potentially awkward sounding time signatures, but do my best to disguise them as something digestible and not without a groove.’
