PHORMAT 77 / MISS ITALIA TECHNO PARTY        OUT NOW

What is Techno? Derrick May once simply defined it as "underground dance music". Juan Atkins originally baptised the genre after Alvin Toffler’s 1980’s book “The Third Wave”: 

«The techno-rebels argue that either we control technology or it controls us, [they] contend that technology need not be big, costly, or complex in order to be “sophisticated”. They begin not with technology but with hard questions about what kind of future society we want.» 

While the modern scene is becoming increasingly diluted with algorithmically sanitized tracks and DJ-influencers, SAD PROM is taking Techno back to its Detroit roots. Raw, analog machine music to move bodies and awaken minds from their smartphone-induced coma.

SP001 sounds like your parents’ landline ringing at 3am. Your Tamagotchi crying to be fed, while you’re coming up in the middle of the party. You won’t find this record on digital streaming platforms or social media, the algorithm doesn’t know it exists. 

The revolution starts here.

INSTACUNT

Went through 3 different DJMs during soundcheck, and then ended up choosing the oldest model.   The new DJM V10 is stupidly big. Stage manager not impressed.

After a hard electro-punk release on Dutch label New York Haunted, SAD PROM returns to their own catalog to serve an intoxicating dose of analog techno. A concoction of overdriven 808 grooves, hypnotic sub bass swirls and shimmering stabs that will have you stare off blankly into space for 9 minutes 25 seconds straight.

«By 2077, over 25 years since Neuralink’s mass adoption, the A.I. was extremely close to gaining full consciousness. In an effort to speed up the process, the Ministry of Freedom issued a new decree - Phormat 77 - rendering the Neuralink implant mandatory for all humans. This was received well amongst the majority of the global population, with a large percentage already being users. As it was explained, "knowledge is freedom and mankind can only free themselves from ignorance by augmenting their brain’s capacity."»

French purveyor of fine detroit influenced techno SAD PROM joins the ranks of the New York Haunted family! This is some hard electro punk though, pushing the machines into the red to squeeze out every last sinewave. SAD PROM blesses us with a very strong 4 track EP with a hidden easter egg as well.

Minimalistic yet super overdriven drum rhythms do the trick here, much in the vein of Circuit Breaker's Trac-X, for all of you that were around back in 1992. For those that weren't, check it out, its Richie Hawtin at his best, pure overdriven hard distorted techno music. It's good to hear this kind of great punk spirited techno power in 2025, do yourself a favor and snatch it up now!
