Le facétieux Philippe Brown, membre du duo La Punta Bianca (quelques sorties sur le label berlinois Detriti) qui officie également en crooner solitaire sous le pseudonyme de René Couteau et celui du producteur de musique de danse Raymond D. Barre, nous a livré ce bagage abandonné mais irrésistible ! Du haut de sa tour de contrôle du nord-est parisien, il a ironiquement fantasmé une vie de collège cadre avec son bilan carbone désastreux, passée dans des aérogares et terminaux rétrofuturistes. …

Our ERR REC Library collection has finally returned for the third edition! After dwelling in Urban Spaces (Vol.1) and discovering Science & Technology (Vol.2), we have the pleasure of announcing ERR REC Library Vol. 3-Wild Life/Vie sauvage. This time around we have decided to turn our attention towards all things natural—the great green beyond, wild animals in their natural habitat, the bio-diversity that we (humans, mostly) plunder relentlessly, without mercy. This concept album takes shape thanks to a group of …

Imagine the Tascam 414 (4 track cassette recorder) in Human Koala’s tentacular (like octopus) hands. This vintage machine has been integrated with his otherwise powerful (and modern) modular systems and Elektron gear. The man of many machines mixed it up, recording entire stems, single tracks, and even an entire song on tape, pushing the pre-amps and auxs into the red, producing an amazing outcome. He used it more as a production tool/inspirational device than a classic recorder—but hey, we are …

This EP was recorded from April to July 2020 in the midst of the lockdown and protests in the United States. My wife and I attended the protests, and continue to support different causes including Trans Rights and BLM organizations. This recording is a response to this period in time, but also an attempt to hold onto a form of sanity in the midst of all this uncertainty. I would like to thank my wife Tara Cassady for support andencouragement. …

A question we’re going to ask several artists, invited to create analog electronic goodness with a TASCAM Portastudio 414 4-track Cassette Recorder. No computer allowed (except for the analog …

Duingebied is heavily inspired by geographic surroundings – the Dutch North Sea coast – evoking both melancholy and wonder. It also translates a fascination for 80’s home keyboards and synths (such as the Hohner KS 49 midi, Yamaha PSS-480, Korg Poly61 and Ensoniq SQ-80) and the art of field recordings. The dunes surrounding the Hague are a sacred, spiritual crossing between forest, lake, and sea, where wild and thick forests meet the sea, battered by incessant and unsettling winds. Home …

Le duo L/G/A/D/C creates timeless, synth-infused pop, injected with cold wave and post-punk influences. Their minimal electronic soundtrack is riddled with dystopian texts, poisonous bass lines and noise skids. The music is a cold, powerful, insidious wave that can have the listener reach for a hot cup a tea. Le duo L/G/A/D/C pratique avec voix, percussions, basse électrique (Fred Louvat), boîte à rythmes, efftets et synthétiseurs analogiques (Yann Lélias) une synth pop intemporelle infusée d’influences cold et post-punk .Leur bande …

Influences: Haruomi Hosono, Mort Garson, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Zelda: Link’s Awakening… Beat Box : Casio RZ-1Keyboards : CT403 . MT68 . MT100 . …

A cold wave rolls in from Normandy…This live cassette allows the occasion to present LGADC (Le Goût Acide Des Conservateurs) and announce the upcoming release of their studio album on ERR REC in 2020. The sound was captured and the group filmed on October 2019, during a performance at Normandy’s Spore Brewery. This duo (with the aid of percussions, electric bass, analog synthesizers and drum machines) crafts the perfect vehicles for Fred Louvat’s minimal, yet profound, vocals. La vague froide …
