Dark Chambers revives his dormant Division Sub Records with a compelling ‘Dark Areas’ EP made from a range of analogue hardware.
The label was founded in 2013 but has been on hiatus until now. It is an outlet, much like the artist who founded it, that focuses on visionary music, innovative techno and experimental sounds. There are plenty of releases lined up into 2022 with both vinyl and digital in the works, all of which will explore the darker end of the electronic spectrum.
‘Dark Areas’ is a machine based EP built in Dark Chambers’ Brikworx studio using modular, drum machines and sound generators. It was conceived during lockdown when the artist had time to hone in on a sound that’s been reverberating around his head for a few years. He says, “The idea was to build different pieces of music that push and make you want to dance, raise your energy and get back out there after a long period of being lost in our own minds.”
Depression is a theme that runs through the ‘Dark Areas’ EP, which consists of four tracks, ‘Dark Spaces’, ‘Miserable Youth’, ‘Bloc303’ and ‘Floorwork’.
We are presenting the opening track, ‘Dark Spaces’. It is a heavy, intense techno track with busted bass and demonic spoken words. Paranoid synths jump about the arrangement with rave energy percolating throughout the mix.
‘Dark Areas’ EP will be available after the 17th of December HERE.
