alphacute 000 / minor 011

alphacute? yes, your favourite noskoolbreaks imprint is getting a little brother. it wasn't found for necessities at all, but perhaps for boredom... who knows? who cares!
somehow alphacut 004 did show us a huge variation in sound, or lets say a too huge variation? doesn't matter at all, as long as it fits to your expectation of a good record. so we decided to split our philosophy into strange dancefloor (12") and strange listening (7") stuff, or call it energy and lethargy (only for insiders) or whatever you want it to be split into. in the end you should just give this trash a listen and love it or hate it. as we're talking about the split thing, you may notice that this alphacute kick off record is a split 7" with minorlabel from leipzig, which seems to be no partner in business when it is about the style of music on the first sight. but sometimes you do something because of the way you do it not because of what you're doing. and there wouldn't be a split record between labels that do not share their ideas anyhow, aight? have fun to check out how different the results can be, anyway...

a1   lxxxc - 4 lil bit
a2   lxxxc - prick up
a3   lxxxc - crowd complain alert
m1   tlic - dying in rooms
m2   tlic - research[ed]   m2  

lxxxc opens the a side with very lonely modem bleeps and some pitched sine waves joining later on. by adding some unstable remains of former breakbeats and even more bleeps, a little shaky idm house of cards is build. it is followed by a crippled crossbreed of micro gabber and tetris fx medley. no comment about the third track! after flipping the record its time for minor's tlic to open his little tracker-world made of "abstract spheres and dark ambiences". have fun getting lost...

minor says: "during the ages of hypes and flops of electronic music tlic consumed several styles and experiences. watching the movement rise and fall tlic try to digest their influences by using software based sound research[ed], merging de-/re-constructed rhythms, endless reverb effects & melancholy into little undanceable dancefloors-pearls. missing the rave, tlic stay in rooms... so far."
