Mannequin Records: June – Silver Demon
Mannequin Records is thrilled to introduce that the Greek artist June is joining the label with his full-lenght ‘Silver Demon’.
June aka Tsampikos Fronas – also part of the duo Manie Sans Délire has been driving his analog machines since 2010 into many underground places, exploring a variety of outstanding compositions, from acid jakbeat to early Chris Carter experiments, permeating his music with minimal synth and industrial modular powerful sounds. Founding his own imprint June in 2010, Tsampikos delivered two killer full lengths, one for Argy’s label These Days in 2011 and one for Solvent’s Suction Records in 2015, plus a moltitude of EPs, including one for the legendary Jamal Moss’s Mathematics, and one ‘Cytheria’ again for These Days, with 2 liquid-house remixes by DJ Sprinkles.
His third album for Mannequin Records explores a futuristic dystopian world where transcendence and oppression coexist, where claustrophobia and infinite openness coincide. A world of contrasts that is the product of the artist‘s active imagination and conscious effort to confront the subconscious.
The album was recorded using original techniques from the golden era of electronic music (late 70s to mid 80s) with an arsenal of vintage analog synthesizers, drum machines and effect processors (originating) from the same time period. While the aesthetics of the classic precursors emerge through the minimal, deep, dark architecture of June’s music, Silver Demon prevails with the artist’s characteristic originality.
