Techno vinyl heads, here’s a heads up for what is sounding like a very nice double 12″ release from Paris label Unknown Precept.

The Black Ideal is our first compilation imagined in close relation with the content of Monograph’s first issue. It is, in a sense, both the climax and the conclusion of a response to the black ideal question ; composed for the occasion of eight unprecedented tracks. It invites eight already well established artists as well as newcomers into different horizons, halfway between incisive primitivist rave-techno and cerebral experimentations — it results in an aesthetic with a background relating to industrial music and soot-blackened sound in cramped basements and dilapidated warehouses ; as well as far darker climes refining the edgy inclinations of modern techno.

Featuring the work of Ancient Methods, Mondkopf (recording with Saåad, Polar Inertia, Shifted, Mancheter’s mighty dark Casual Violence, AnD, Svreca and Violetshaped.
