Debut for Anklebiter
Hailing from Portland, Oregon, Tanner Volz began cultivating his talents for creating electronic music in the early 1990s with the post-Industrial band Thine Eyes. From there, the eclectic project ML was realized and went on to release prolific works on such labels as Toast and Jam, n5MD, En:peg, and Piehead Recordings.
While recovering from an illness in 2008, Tanner seeded his new project Anklebiter on a laptop from the comfort of his easy chair. During this time, a deeply personal, idiosyncratic, and emotionally rich instrumental electronic work emerged that fully indulged Tanner’s love for contemporary Shoegaze and Synthpop styles, as well as his deep roots in early Industrial and dark New Wave.
Now, Anklebiter joins the Tympanik Audio family with his debut full-length album titled ‘I Will Wait‘.
With a vast array of seemingly straightforward analog patterns converging together to generate deeply emotional, beat-driven dark IDM soundscapes, ‘I Will Wait‘ manages to embrace a refreshing simplicity with unique effectiveness that is rarely heard these days. Staggering beats meet nostalgic synthlines to create a haunting aural utopia that is at once beautiful and all together strangely alluring.
One of Tympanik Audio’s most revered and iconic artists returns for his fourth full-length album titled ‘On The First Of November‘.
Here Totakeke elevates his signature brand of infectious beatworks accentuated by complex rhythms, dark melodies, and massive atmospheres to create another addictive beat-driven masterpiece.
Totakeke steps up the tautness with a resounding sense of ferocity pounding out 10 powerful new tracks of immense proportions. From beginning to end, ‘On The First Of November‘ gushes with caressing tension and head-nodding beats amidst a swirling torrent of sputtering glitch, ominous pads, punching beat drops, mind-bending breaks, and looming basslines.
Quite possibly Totakeke’s most focused work to date.
Available now on digipak compact disc only from Tympanik Audio.
As one of Tympanik’s most prolific artists, Lucidstatic consistently strives to develop and refine his sound. In 2008, Lucidstatic came to Tympanik Audio to present his official debut album ‘Gravedigger‘, demonstrating a powerful blend of breakcore and Industrial elements that made critics and listeners perk their ears to this noisy Alaskan newcomer.
Never one to remain dormant, Lucidstatic has created and released countless new tracks through various labels and outlets, as well as remixed and collaborated with a never-ending list of musicians from around the world. In the spirit of accord within our beloved underground music community, his passion to meld and share his ideas with like-minded artists is as clear as vodka.
Now, Lucidstatic offers a new collection of work spanning a multitude of genres and music styles, demonstrating his astonishing capability to craft diverse, unique, and memorable songs within a considerable scope.
Initially working from a vast collection of unfinished material, Lucidstatic approached and was approached by a talented cast of both up-and-coming and well-established artists. Piece by piece, track by track, each selection for ‘Symbiont Underground‘ was poured over, polished, and perfected until the collective results swelled beyond the expectations of its creators.
Lucidstatic’s ‘Symbiont Underground‘ consists of 23 solid new tracks spanning a 2-CD collection featuring collaborations with such artists as Angel Of Violence, Mothboy, Iammynewt, Mono Penguin, ESA, Human Error, Mangadrive, Experiment Haywire, Servo Hatred, Pig Fat, Manufactura, and many more, with artwork by Kostas K. ( Subheim) and mastering by Justin Brink ( Pneumatic Detach).
With so many diverse minds and capable hands at work here, it’s almost unimaginable that such a strong, compelling, and astoundingly cohesive album such as ‘Symbiont Underground‘ could be achieved. Yet here it is…
With his excellent debut release ‘Audio Vandalism‘ in 2008 on the German label Hymen Records, the French Industrialist Zeller now turns to Tympanik Audio to offer our listeners his most abrasive and uncompromising work to date.
At once a whirlwind of tight Industrial rhythms precisely punctuated by shuddering basslines, crafty breakbeats, and chaotic soundscapes, Zeller’s ‘Turbulences‘ accentuates unrelenting brutality and captivating aural serendipity.
An eclectic mixture of hard Industrial beatworks, menacing synthlines, glitchy intricacies, and a solid showcase of dirty and complex sound arrangements, ‘Turbulences‘ is full of never ending revelations that expose themselves around every corner. Apocalyptic and ominous, Zeller’s maniacal new conceptions embrace a rare and forward-thinking approach to the rhythmic noise genre with an uncanny proficiency in control, density, and undeniable intensity. A shivering and addictive plunge into the dying art of modern rhythmic Industrial.
Experience Zeller’s massive new CD ‘Turbulences‘ for yourself only from Tympanik Audio.

One year after Pellicules, Mika Goedrijk presents the next aural view of his inner self with Looking-Glass World. Musically, the self conceptional shift into the world of ambient idm sounds is evident. Well placed patterns enriched with mellow guitar slides (dead air), melancholic piano lines (at the 11th hour), a distinctive (nearly) aphex-twin synth (white sand semantics), archaic trumpet calls (lost decade), pounding breakbeats with pulsing sub bass (rusty swiss army knife, le grand mal), make this release a fascinating blend of contemporary electronic tones. Looking-Glass World is an album of otherworldly ambience entwined with a blend of acoustic sounds and sheets of sequenced patterns. A highly aesthetic sonic universe, where moods and mastery melt into warm, repetitive arrangements. Have a look into the Looking-Glass World.
From ancient history and forward into modern posterity, the name of Heliogabal a.k.a. Elagabal has become the symbol of the roman iron age's vice and decadence as well as for how oriental influences were fatal to this culture. A massive conflict between conservative romans and those who followed the Syrian religious traditions (themselves personified by the juvenile but extremely vain emperor himself) overshadowed Heliogabal's reign. His rule disastrously failed due to the absence of a give-and-take philosophy and a lack of an understanding of the duties involved with wielding the power or a roman emperor. After the Greek mythology of his last album 'Nyx', Mathis Mootz took Heliogabal's life as an inspiration for this release which marks the tenth anniversary of Squaremeter. Mootz' skills of creating unbearable tension and covering all bases between absolute silence up to vibrating choirs and distant industrial outbursts are clear on this album. 'Heliogabal' is an intermixture of hypnotic deep drones, haunting basses and disturbing soundscapes. Cinematic field recordings, intermittent hypnotic sequencer loops and urgent eruptions of sound merge into an incredible collection of atmospheric dark ambient tracks. This album might be useful as an imaginary trip into a sable, a cruel past where man had the potential of being a God - before finally being disgraced.
