Peripheral Minimal: MITRA MITRA – The Flood

MITRA MITRA - The Flood

MITRA MITRA was formed in Vienna in late 2014 by Violet Candide and Mahk Rumbae. Originally from New Zealand, Violet Candide is a founding member of the Crazy Hospital DJ collective, and one of the organisers of the legendary Future Echo club night in Vienna, and is one half of Anesthetic Hairpins.

British musician Mahk Rumbae is known for his work as a member of the industrial/experimental project Konstruktivists, Oppenheimer MkII (with Andy Oppenheimer of Oppenheimer Analysis) and his solo techno project Codex Empire.

After working together on one of Violet’s solo songs, Heat, the pair decided to continue working together as mitra mitra, with the aim of writing electronic songs not tied to any particular influence or style.

MITRA MITRA have so far released a limited 7” single on Polytechnic Youth and a self-titled debut album on their own label Micromort Music – both of which sold out almost immediately.

For their new EP, released in conjunction with Peripheral Minimal, they present four new songs, including live favourites The Flood and One Universe, as well as Snakes and Phantom Flats. Rounding off the 6 track EP are two special remixes from LowSea, who remix Snakes, and IV/AN who remixes Blender (from the debut LP).

Nancy Records: The R.I.P.ped Nancy’s – Highway Superstar

The R.I.P.ped Nancy's - Highway Superstar

Classic minimal synth stuff but from this day and age. A-side has a rather punky feel to it, on the flip it gets much more melodic. Recommended for any die hard minimal synth fans!

Kernkrach: Delos – Microcosmos

Delos - Microcosmos

Maybe you remember the debut 7inch by Delos from some years ago? Now at last there is a full length debut album – and you get served synth music pur sang. Spacious minimal synth tunes, some to dance to but many to trip away on…

Falco Invernale Records: Beta Evers – Walking The Labyrinth

Beta Evers - Walking The Labyrinth

YEARS AGO… Brigitte Enzler grew up with New Wave and experimental electronic music from the early 80s. In her teenage years she founded a girl-combo and started her first own tape/record label to independently release and distribute their own music. In the 1990s Brigitte started to arrange parties (electronic music) for small clubs in her area (Augsburg, Germany).

IN THE 2000s… in the year 2000, she founded the network Kommando 6. In 2001 she decided, to run a label again and Kommando 6 became also a record label. Finally, in the same year, she started to record tracks under the pseudonym BETA EVERS, what she does strictly on her own, without the participation of producers. In 2006 she closed the Kommando 6 label after 20 releases and started soon 2 new labels, Bodyvolt and Venus Noir (2007/2008).

GENERALLY… Besides her solo-works, Beta Evers was involved in various collaborative projects: Black Spider Clan, Radikale Analog Fraktion, Flying Bodies, Zwischenwelt, Gedankenexperiment, Black Pond. Once in a while she did guest vocals for other artists and collaborated with other artists on the production of single tracks. Beta Evers rarely plays live.

RECENTLY…. Between 2009 and 2015 she focused on collaborative projects and released no solo EP or LP. In 2016 she announced 3 new Beta Evers releases to be out between December 2016 and December 2017: Delusion LP (Bodyvolt/Daft Records), a Split EP (with Spatial Relation on Peripheral Minimal) and Walking the labyrinth, a Mini-LP (Falco Invernale Records).
