about alphacut records

alphacut records was established in 2002 by lxc in leipzig, germoney. designed as a drum&bass label with a strict whitelabel and punkrock philosophy, it is featuring up and coming artists from all over europe, which are receiving presentation in a direct and transparent way. 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. 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.

vinyl swaps are always appreciated! check this list and get in touch!

mailorders can order directly and get cool conditions. payment has to be done in advance.

as this is about d.i.y., there is no need for any kind of agency to get in touch, whether its about press, booking or production handling. go get other fools and turn their lazyness into cash!

digital distribution is not run at the moment. it is just not worth the effort to feed all the stores with data for such low sales. get in contact if you need a tune. feel free to donate.

djs & supporters are always appreciated! get in contact, introduce yourself and lets chat about ways to get you fed with upcoming stuff. to receive digital promos, follow alphacut on soundcloud and spread the word.

demos are getting heard 100% and receiving feedback as much as possible. best way is to send links via email. don't forget to include contact details. an answer may take us a while as we collect tunes and review in monthly heaps.

alphacut will not sign independent guitar bands, a cheesy distorted teenage mc or some pseudo arty minimal techno. check our releases before sending stuff. breakbeat and uptempo related material prefered. if you are a versatile wunderkind, don't hesitate to include your speed ambient, chillcore or heavy listening material.

album demos do have no use, sorry. there are going to be no longplayer releases. alphacut is mostly about artist split vinyls, about compiling different things, for the exciting process of achieving similarities and/or distinctions.

5 tons of flax!

alphacut records

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


alphacut 019  out now!

done in june 2010, black 12inch vinyl, honey melon yellow stencil-sprayed logo, limited to handnumbered 200 copies, including eleven locked grooves

a1  trisector & creep  hollow
c1  morphy  uptown special

creep, one breakbeat chief of the mighty paranoid society, joins forces with trisector from finland, whose sounds have found their way on no less then two med school twelves last year. these guys created a monster! appearing to be a pretty mystical retrospective stepper at first, it suddenly mutates into some roaring nightmare of bloodthirsty bass madness.
on the flip we welcome back our dubmeister morphy from glasgow to roll big time on a train of bass, trumpets and filtered jungle grooves. one for all you roots dub heads out there, cheers!

0123456789  


alphacut 018

done in may 2010, black 12inch vinyl, magenta stencil-sprayed logo, limited to handnumbered 200 copies, including eleven locked grooves

a1  hexer  back to business
c1  kodama  out of time

alphacut records is continuing its second wave of monthly vinyl releases. after several deep & experimental releases alphacut strikes back to business!
hexer is a name, most of you might remember when it is about avantgarde drum&bass music from the late nineties. he is a jack of all trades, having dropped tunes on groove attack, hard edged and even the legendary case invaders. we found him, just a few meters away from our headquarter and digged this bad bidness tune, right away, directly off his harddrive. more to come for sure!
kodama is the moniker of an upcoming talent, hailing from germany, too. following the likes of photek, source direct and even hexer for years, he has now mastered the breaks & bass and will surely be one to watch so badly. tip!

0123456789  


alphacut 017

done in april 2010, black 12inch vinyl, milka like purple stencil-sprayed logo, limited to handnumbered 100 copies, including twelve locked grooves

a1  morphy  dusty stylus
a2  despot  texture
c1  b cloud  predictor
c2  muted  passing by

with this half & half ep, a series of deep and experimental drum&bass releases is rounded up, and also taken to its extremes. like it or not, this is the all-over halfstep alphacut vinyl, holding no less then four artists from all over europe.
morphy from glasgow is our latest find on twisted uptempo dubwise art, as he demonstrated on nerve, digital's function and urban takeover. despot is one of the most important microfunk acts from saint petersburg, who even found his way onto a hospital compilation last year. you may have heard texture because it got dropped at the autonomic podcast volume three and in several doc scott sets! b cloud from minsk is another example for the upcoming drum&bass fever from the east, celebrating his debut on here. equally and finally, muted from reykjavík is closing this circle.

c1  paranoid society  crp thm

once again martsman proves that he is the one and only master of wobble bass, arty farty synth bleeps and beats that are as dry as dead dingo’s donger. periphereia just perfectly fills the gap between experimental sound design and pure floor rockage.

a1  line 47  thousand year descent
a2  bop  noosphere
b1  throttler  black highway
b2  mendelayev  i'm zombie

to push the boundaries of what was known as drum&bass, was alphacut's primary aim when it was founded six years ago. this time it seems as if this goal has finally been reached: four playable uptempo smashers by promising artists from all over this crazy little planet. each one running his totally unique business, though all songs feel united by their obvious intention to expand the one they used to call the drum&bass. everything is possible: hard hittin electronica, deep darkstep and edgy drumfunk. this is it, welcome 2008!

done in april 2008, limited to 777, white 12inch 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)

b1  martsman  jump funk

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

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

alphacut is back with three deadly weapons of sound somewhere between drum&bass, breakcore, drumfunk and fake-swing. destroying musical borders as usual, this fifth release is much darker and more broken. oh, really? well, just have a listen!

"there are three evil, rocking, dark drum&bass tracks, dealing with something between alpha omega and intasounds. definately a must for all seekers of drum&bass, which is standing somewhere far out of the scene, but however having monumental deepness." (debug)

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.

introducing an upcoming talent from berlin: bad matter, the lost soul of jungle from germoney with his very first vinyl release! you'll remember droppin' science stuff, made of jazz breaks and tube basslines. on the flip the mighty rude bwoy strikes back: lxc redisigned cycom's work of the first alphacut into some heavily broken experimental d&b moshpit.

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

b1  buzz  powerplant
b2  lxc  eko  jakin boaz rmx

four different artist are clashing together on this very first alphacut release: the triangle between hamburg, dortmund and leipzig got spread and shows alphacut's open mind and versatility. basically thought for the dancefloor, it also teases brainwise: there are breaks, drops and other weird stuff, whatever the sequencer spit out to make you busy.

"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)

trisector

appears djing, plays raw & pure d&b, released on med school, nerve, covert operations, empathy and many more, located at helsinki (fi), runs ms/trisectorfi

trisector aka otto hassinen rekindled his relationship with drum & bass in 2007 after a few years of activities in the breakbeat duo takomo. he quickly gained support from some scene's dons and it wasn't long before hospital signed his tunes for their sister label med school. in 2009 his debut hit an unsuspecting drum&bass fraternity, followed by another med school single. heading into 2010 otto is busy djing, armed with a plethora of new dubs. he is also running a small monthly night called science in his hometown helsinki and of course, producing his own material and collaborations. trisector is one to watch!!


paranoid society

appear live, play experimental deep & schizophrenic d&b, released on modern urban jazz and syncopathic, located at tallinn (ee), run paranoidsociety.net

paranoid society is an alliance of intelligent music and visual arts. idm, vector and arts for life - those words you'll find by browing their website's html header. even there you see a clan of future addicts doing retrospective things and tellings by them. all their works have this kind of schizophrenia involved: even the music by the group's breakbeat mastermind creep. he is constantly looking back to the nineties for deepness and variety, but at the same time heading for 2097 with impressively futuristic sounds and fx, it seems as if this man is traveling time and space to get back to 95 and steel some seqences right out of the studios of source direct or photek. so, we stay speechless and unable to do anything but looking forward to even more productions from out there estonia.

book paranoid society


morphy

cj weaver

appears djing, released on absys and zardonic netlabels, located at washington dc (us), runs ms/cjweavermusic

a relative newcomer to the scene, cj weaver has been consistently pumping out drum&bass tunes on the deeper and more experimental tip. this washington dc based producer has lined up a fair amount of releases for 2010 on several well respected labels such as tech:noir, buried audio, influenza minus, and many more. by patching together his diverse influences and recording virtually everything he hears around him, he has developed a significant back catalogue, covering a wide variety of music styles from ethnic halftime stompers and minimal dub all the way to dancefloor filling rollers, and everything in between.


concept one

located at paris (fr), but globetrotting every now an then, catch him at his soundcloud

concept one aka jules bertier stepped into the sounds of minimal techno and dub music at the age of 14. after moving to dublin and first steps in djing, he starts going to drum and bass nights put on by the irish label bassbin and the reach drum and bass crew. his interest for music and particularly for drum and bass did not stop to grow till then: he started producing and organizing nights with the breakbeat exploration crew in paris.


martsman

appears djing, plays strange but friendly d&b, released on med school offshore, bassbin's breakin, counter intelligence, subtle audio, plainaudio and exegene, located at berlin (de), runs martsman.de

martsman has developed a unique musical style which extends the current perception of drum&bass with his affection for prominent basslines and stumbling breaks in combination with glitchy edits and bleepy minimalism. debuting on the new york based offshore in 2005, he released on smaller as well as established labels like alphacut or counter intelligence in the following years. for 2008, tracks on warm mommunications and hospital's doughter med school attract the attention of a steadily growing audience, also from outside the d&b scene.

book martsman


mze

appears live, plays sometimes straight sometimes chopped up d&b plus a lick of idm lately, released on alphacut only, located at leipzig (de), runs mze.pltn.org

mze is an up&coming artist straight out of thuringia (the shire of east germany, hehe), 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?

book mze


unquote

appears djing, plays some deep d&b 2step and halfstep sound, released on hospital and 31, located at saint petersburg (ru), runs ms/unquoteru

seva unquote is another newcomer to the global drum&bass scene, who received his analogue media solo debut by noone else than alphacut records.
this charismatic guy already gained alot of attention - even if his style is still about to develop, and about to perceived in all its complexity. so, there is a dark tune like "ugly face of war" as well as the deep and positiv collaboration "hours have no reverse motion" with his comrade mr. sizef, which just got released on no other imprint than hospital! at the moment, seva is writing more tunes, expecting support by labels such as 31 records and the upcoming minimal d&b home called influenza minus. make sure to follow unquote's steps!

macc

appears live, plays handmade drumfunk, released on outsider, subtle audio, counter intelligence, 13 music, breakin, plainaudio, syncopathic, transmute & subvert central, located at london (uk), runs ms/maccmusic

macc is a producer who is equally interested in both the programmed and live aspect of modern music. as a programmer he looks to create live-sounding drums and other instruments, while as a drummer he seeks to play in a way that could be thought of as 'programmed'. to this end he will program tracks using a computer, then learn to play them the same as they were programmed.
macc does not dj, he instead prefers to play his own music as a continuous and flowing live performance, with the drums being his main instrument. these live shows have been causing people to go crazy all over, including belgium, holland, ireland, london, and several incendiary shows in croatia. expect to hear live versions of releases on labels such as paradox's outsider music label, vibez recordings and up-and-coming dutch label counter intelligence amongst others.

throttler

appears live, plays dark & hard d&b, released on killing sheep, nasdia and no room for talent, located at athens (gr), runs ms/djthrottler

with a 90ies background straight out off a chocolate box with all ups and downs, it wasn’t until 2002, before throttler began to kick his mixture of dark, hard and fast, constantly alternating music, made of notorious landscapes and techy dancefloor breakbeat treatment. not only had he released a bunch of vinyls until now - even the press like knowledge and soundmaker got attracted to his productions - both the solo stuff and his collaborations with female vocalist lowbss. looking forward to forthcoming material and worldwide live appearances, we are excited to see whats up next at throttleversum.
