about alphacut records

alphacut records was founded in 2002 as a drum&bass label with a strict whitelabel philosophy, featuring up and coming artists from all over europe. until today the imprint is being transformed into a platform for new kinds of energetic uptempo breakbeat tunes and beyond. we conceive and conduct a wide range of electronic music with a focus on broken beats, uncompromising sounds, experimental and informal innovations and a healthy bit of rough dancefloor attitude.

alphacut records is releasing more or less dancefloor compatible experimental drum&bass 12inch artist split singles. mainly set up for djs and collectors, reflecting in features like locked grooves, handnumbered limitations and coloured vinyl.
besides that, alphacute is a sublabel for 7inch split releases with affiliated labels,showing the background scene beyond the usual d&b bizness, dealing with experimental electronics of all kinds imaginable.

so what we did and do is just to celebrate an honest, demanding & sophisticated d.i.y. style of presentation for our music, artists, records and parties. we proudly present real artist music and no close-minded scene-exclusives, for your restful listening pleasure!
demos are always appreciated - don't hesitate to torture us with your noise.

note 

this is about d.i.y., so there is no need for any agencies, whether its about press, booking or production handling. go get other fools to turn their lazyness into cash!

alphacut will never ever sign so-called independent guitar combos, cheesy distorted teenage mcs or pseudo-arty minimal techno stuff. don't waste your time.

there is no need to send full length lps, it looks like as if there won't be any albums released. this is mostly about artist split vinyls. you know - compiling things together is much more exciting. :)

swapping, trading, exchanging, ... always appreciated! check this list and get in touch!

alphacut records

releasing more or less dancefloor compatible experimental drum&bass breakcore idm 12inch artist split singles. mainly set up for djs and collectors, reflecting in features like locked grooves, handnumbered limitations and coloured vinyl.


alphacut 007  out now!

done in april 2008, limited to 777, white 12" vinyl, including three locked grooves

a1  alpha omega  concrete pillows
b1  sumone  rhythm machine
b2  lxc  lock in

at a time when everything feels said about upfront drum&bass tunes and all so-called heads turn back to deeper shades of bass like dubstep, even alphacut headquarters' feel like its time for some really meditative 180bpm breakbeat rides, walls of dub and - of course - subbass!

"if there hasn't been a label like alphacut yet, one should go and invent it. it is providing drum&bass and darkjungle with innovation and high quality and will probably save the genre from decay somewhen." (raveline)

"very nice release of odd drum and bass. that sumone tune is especially deep!" (c64)

"alphacut 7 is real dope! the cutting is damn loud, i played it yesterday in a small private party and almost destroyed the pa!" (fred e.)

0123456789  


alphacut 006

done in may 2007, limited to 666, white 12" vinyl, including six locked grooves

a1  mze  blut
a2  nalpas  oe part 1
b1  martsman  jump funk
b2  nalpas  oe part 2

without hesitating, this next alphacut release is getting things started right away with mze's dancefloor bomb 'blut', followed by martsman's probably catchiest ear worm for summer 2007.
on top of this double a side you'll find some weird buzz tracking dillentantisms by nalpas.

"different bussiness, i'm feeling it. street music - goin' on dark!" (bailey on bbc 1xtra)

"three powerful productions from the house of alphacut." (debug)

0123456789  


alphacut 005

done in october 2006, limited to 555, white 12" vinyl, including ten locked grooves

a1  society suckers & mze  fight
b1  iaka  noloop
b2  cycom  down the drain

alphacut strikes back with three deadly weapons of sound, residing somewhere between drum&bass, breakcore, drumfunk and fake-swing. destroying musical borders as usual, the fifth release is darker, faster and much more broken than the ones before. how can this be possible? mmh, just take a listen!

"there are three very evily rocking dark drum&bass tracks, which may be a match for something happening between alpha omega and intasounds. definately a must for all seeking for drumn&bass, which is standing widely besides the scene but having monumental deepness." (debug)

0123456789  


alphacut 004

done in may 2005, limited to 444, white 12" vinyl, 5 locked grooves

a1  nalpas  bad thing
a2  hi-lar  prod 692
b1  mze  waterbwoy
b2  jakin boaz  jaguarundi

we are still here. don't care what all the others are proclaiming. sit down, relax, we will help you against today's bad musical influences. because everyone is telling us that we do so, we have to believe and push it forward. even if all this should be a lie, the music will make it come true.
quite different styles on one 12inch, from idm to weird d&b and back. sometimes shameless, sometimes deep. hits you from behind.

"first three tracks point direct with broken beats and cut straightness into weirdness shortly touching tangofeeling and vibrating doing-doing attitude. hybrid anti-d'n'b that fights for itself by homaging certain deadlines of 4/4-drive. for these brain flashes: the best record of 2005!" (minor)

0123456789  


alphacut 003

done in march 2004, limited to 500, white 12" vinyl, 8 locked grooves

a1  bad matter  jazzthing
b1  cycom  rude bwoy  lxc rmx

breaks, breaks, breaks. we introduce a nearly unknown and upcoming talent from berlin: bad matter, the lost soul of jungle from germany with his very first vinyl release. listen to it and you will remember former droppin' science kind-of-stuff, made of jazz breaks and tube basslines. alphacut 001 hit the advanced dancefloors across europe one year ago, and now the mighty 'rude bwoy' strikes back: lxc redisigned cycom's work into a dark metal soldier, forcing all sophisticated feet to dance.

"definately spreading even more fire than the releases number one and two. if drum&bass really is energetic music, then this way!" (png)

"build to shake the dancefloors of the republic." (raveline)

"alphacut is bangin drum and bass from germany. all of their releases to date have been drop and this one is no exception." (soundclash)

0123456789  


alphacut 002

done in feb. 2004, limited to 500, white 12" vinyl, 8 locked grooves

a1  mze vs lxc  stick em up
b1  hi-lar  prod 055
b2  hp.stonji  reej

after a short break alphacut strikes back with this 3-track vinyl, supporting once again and surely not the last time up and coming artists from all over europe. lxc is cooperating with newcomer mze from leipzig, hi-lar is experiencing his first vinyl release and the hp.stonji guys are coming to open your ears for some odd electronics.

"the most challenging drum&bass tracks from germany for a long time - a must!" (debug)

"definately that kind of drum&bass, for which i haven't got everything else to my ears for years. nice and courageous release." (png)

"this is primetime stuff for advanced dancefloors!" (future music)

0123456789  


alphacut 001

done in jan. 2003, limited to 500, white 12" vinyl, handnumbered

a1  cycom  rude bwoy
b1  buzz  powerplant
b2  lxc  eko  jakin boaz rmx

even 3 different artist clash together on the first alphacut record: the triangle between hamburg, dortmund and leipzig became spread and shows alphacut's openness and range. the direction of music is mainly thought for the dancefloor, however nevertheless also for the brains. there are breaks, drops and other weird stuff - whatever the sequencer spits out to make your feet busy again.

"no dumb hardcore, but blessed with the spice and the roughness of a record from the underground. amen." (dhyana)

"for rude boys and beat digger" (ouk)

"pleasingly far away from average british stuff" (repertoire)







alphacute records

sublabel for 7inch split releases with affiliated labels, showing the background scene beyond the usual d&b bizness, dealing with experimental electronics of all kinds imaginable.
the alphacuties are looking forward to forthcoming split releases with labels like dhyana, jahtari, hirntrust and you?


alphacute 010 / cold coffein addict 055

"the whereabouts of 97", to be released in september 2007, limited to 400, red 7" vinyl, red cover, red label stamps

a1  drop the lime  bastardu  the end is here mix by karl marx stadt
a2  nalpas  good morning
c1  mimaku spldat  ad hoc orac
c2  amboss  ausbruch  feat. corrupted files
c3  cpuwar  mrrdr drums  b57 remix

following up in alphacute series is something like a retrospective on breakcore (or whatever), not to consume with a bit of smiling and a bit of regret, but always with a blink. not only featuring society suckers' hannibal karl marx stadt one more time (this time chopping up dtl), our cute looking vinyl also holds even more so-called heroes like vancouver trash dons cpuwar or phantomnoise' breaknroll inventer mimaku spldat from berlin. enjoy this unbeatable split release with tremor's
cold coffein addict label from jena.

0123456789  


alphacute 001 / sozialistischer plattenbau 7014

"pink ponies versus blue bytes", done in october 2006, limited to 500, black 7" vinyl, lovely pink cover

a1  frederik schikowski  mein kleines pony  lords of gabber remix
a2  karl marx stadt  blue box refix
s1  error23  bytes don't cry
s2  lxc  dagegen ii

note: karl marx stadt is lords of gabber is the end is society suckers devided by two. also note: error 23 is istari lasterfahrer himself. this next strike on the alphacut sister label holds stuff from console gabba to blueskoolbreaks. split with istari lasterfahrer's sozialistischer plattenbau from hamburg.

0123456789  


alphacute 000 / minor 011

"three four bit bits / reflect",
done in march 2006, limited to 300, black 7" vinyl, double layer cover

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

fresh trash with 4 bits, plastic bleeps and gameboy idm vs hippie industrial. prelaunch of alphacut sister label alphacute. split with minorlabel from leipzig.

"very dark but extremly cool 7inch of five tracks filled with teared tensions and pure digitally shreddered funk. somehow this could have been the way how electronica may have moved on. you gotta have courage for abstract stuff, then even the funk will rattle." (debug)

mze is an up&coming artist straight out of thuringia, still feeling at home in its local scene. leipzig? whatever should be going on there? he is an addicted home producer forgetting everything around when doing his beats & basses. sounds like strictly nerd stuff - but he is sill in love with drumnbass – ooh. we surely have to expect fresh & innovative stuff from this guy, by the way: this should be a matter of course these days, isn’t it?

location  berlin (de)

headquarter  society-suckers.com

the society suckers make frantic, precisely arranged psychedelic pogo trash music. born out of a frustration with emotionless dance music, 1997's debut "anti-carnivore" on kool.pop featured their trademark ultrahigh frequency melodies and precisely arranged hyper breakbeats, becoming a breakcore standard before the genre had a name. their live shows blend focused turntable skills with emotionally charged gear tormenting - it's a manic combination of breakcore opera, rave hooks, pogo anthems and structural mayhem. they have a long history of performing in europe and recently north america, with artists such as venetian snares, dj scud, patric catani, kid606, din-st, dj/rupture, hrvatski, drop the lime, and melt banana.

iaka

appearance  dj

style  d&b leftfield but straight

releases  'noloop' on alphacut 005, further tracks on plainaudio, dunkelbunt & sellout

location  hamburg (de)

headquarter  iaka.plainaudio.com

iaka released his first acidtracks on coloured vinyl in 1993. despite his indian roots, he escaped the back-then trendy goa-vibes and instead got involved with drum'n'bass. in 1997, he founded plain productions in order to freely distribute his musical ideas to other like-minded fellows, without having to compromise. today's productions by iaka are marked by a great love of detail and well-balanced arrangements. the foundation for his own blueprint of drum'n'bass is the modulation of sounds and beats. that's why there often are complex drum patterns and demanding beat structures in his tracks. in hamburg, he is mostly known as a dj and as one of the people organising the drumbule-parties. there, he regularly surprises people with two fisted club-sets, which stand in sharp contrast to his own productions.

martsman

appearance  dj

style  d&b strange but friendly

releases  'jump funk' on alphacut 006, further tracks on offshore, bassbin's breakin, counter intelligence, subtle audio, plainaudio & exegene

location  berlin (de)

headquarter  martsman.de

martin heinze a.k.a. martsman got into drum&bass around the end of the 90s. artists like alpha omega, 4 hero, sonar circle and squarepusher had a formative influence on him during the first years and after witnessing a paradox live set in 2001, his ever growing interest in drum&Bass evolved to the point where he began to produce his own music. with his affection for prominent basslines and stumbling breaks in combination with glitchy edits and bleepy minimalism, martsman has developed a unique musical style which extends the current perception of drum&bass. his vinyl debut in 2005 on new york based offshore recordings as well as digital releases on net-labels exegene and plainaudio have received recognition from all over the leftfield scene.

headquarter  mifop.de

mfo is a leipzig based video artist, making visuals live to electronic music since 2001. his work is stamped by a fragmentary, playful way to arrange moving images - animated, scripted, sound synchronous and influenced by random generator. utilizing his own software he is capable of cutting this world into pieces, to form an own vision, to open a new perspective.

buzz

appearance  producer

style  d&b deep & broken

releases  'powerplant' on alphacut 001, further tracks on plain, exegene and touchin down

location  frankfurt a.m. (de)

headquarter  buzz.plainaudio.com

buzz found his fascination for producing music in the the mid 90's inspired by the records of artists like dj krust, tricky, optical & photek. he quickly did realize the possibilities of recording & sampling and started his first productions which were spread via the infamous 'subway'-website. in 2001 he gave his debut on alphacut recordings with his 'powerplant' track what gave him the boost to push his musical development with new energy forwoard. 2005 he transformed with his mates (cycom, iaka & flowpro) plainproductions into a complete netlabel called plainaudio & got after his 'soulburn' release immediately singned to other labels like touchin down and exegene. buzz' tracks - often abstract, frightening and gloomily sinister - show a great love of detail. power, movement and complexity are the key criteria which constitute his style and the thickly layered and interwoven samples create a compact, yet stormy and intriguing sound. his music is marked by reggae & dubvocals, feedback-delays and subsonic basslines, which melt with funk beats in his constantly well-heated sound-reactor.

cycom

appearance  producer

style  d&b shaky breaky

releases  'rude bwoy' on alphacut 001 and 'down the drain' on alphacut 005, further tracks on counter intelligence, plain & santorin

location  hamburg (de)

headquarter  cycom.plainaudio.com

cycom is the lucky one which introduces the first sounds of our new little imprint: the a side of alphacut 001. native from mainz (germany) but today living in hamburg, he had already been publishing on different drum'n'bass labels before. his beats are compelling, edited in a precisely matching way. cycom's trademark sound results from the superimposition of several samples, followed by subtractive editing, contributing to a very individual colouring within his music. his releases on other labels like santorin show his affinity towards music beyond stilistic frontiers. the idiosyncrasy of the bedroom-studio-advocate lies in his way of production: a shareware-tracker, called jeskola buzz, that represents a remote relative of the former trackerprograms. cycom aka thomas fleischer was born 1974 and started making electronic music on his c64 aged 12. since then the love for music and beats kept him constantly exploring new musical terrain. after playing in several "conventional" bands his mind got turned to electronic beats again, as he discovered jungle in 1993. producing drum'n'bass since 1995, he took some time to perfect his sound and released his first 12" in september 2001 after doing various remixes for artists like simon v, barth or chaoz.

location  darmstadt (de)

headquarter  ranprod.net

hi-Lar produces electronic music, grown up close to germanys 'jungle capital' mannheim, but musically raised by several places on the web, he sees his tunes mainly as a reaction and often a counterpart to what he hears. coming from d&b, moving on to explore aspects of possible and sometimes imaginary clubmusic.


jakin boaz

appearance  producer

style  idm deep / acid

releases  'eko rmx' on alphacut 001, 'jaguarundi' on alphacut 004, further tracks on denke denke & trash tapes

location  leipzig (de)

once a time in leipzig, there was a young boy visiting a friend and tracking his mini keyboard. just playing around and there it was: sound 78 - it was all up with him. he had to have this sound, and thanks to his mother he was going to get it. first steps were done. years go by, but finally he did remembering on making music and began playing guitar in a punk-band in 1996. when it became too harsh and monotounous he quit. nevertheless possessed by sound he was searching for new ground. but what to do? he thought of his old keyboard casio sa-1 and called his musical spirit with good old sound 78 - by the way - called "computersound". now endless worlds opened to him. and because he's not dead, he can be seen on several live gigs around and until today he's making musik of many different colours. the one of the story is me, jakin boaz.

nalpas

appearance  producer

style  d&b jungle / experimental

releases  'bad thing' on alphacut 004

location  paris (fr)

his first contact with musical manipulation methods might have been in the middle 80s by putting scotch tape on big band records. beside playing written music by bach and avantgarde composers on his classical guitar he continued creating music including all kinds of noise and sound. he played in rockbands and experimental projects using buildings, musicial instruments, electronics, junk, cars, etc. as sound sources. in the late 90s nalpas gained his studies of solo guitar music as well as music theory and history from the last 1000 years and beyond. after working on ambient projects he started creating more breakbeat influenced music in 2001 as a result of his need of a more direct and immediate approach to sound.
