Concrete Records is an Italian label based in Rome and has seen contributions from Voices From the Lake, Minilogue, Svreca, Tensal, Echologist aka Brendon Moeller and Cassegrain, and many more, with many releases gaining multiple represses.

Starting with “Reminder” its quirky tones and tribal percussion is the perfect warm up. “Thunder Slap” adds a new spin with a more underground feeling of spaced-out tension. “Screw” has a sci-fi style bleeping hook and awesome atmospherics. “Back Fire” uses an abstract and rolling tone as the basis and adds more metallic touches to its warm layers. “Ostralopitek” brings another out-there vibe from its detuned strings and throbbing bassline. “Virtues” brings back a heady take on techno with its swirling and hypnotic elements over a jackin’ groove.
