FORM
+STRUCTURE

Our first release features ally and long time friend Additiv, and we couldn't be more pleased to welcome him into the fold. Since early days hanging with us near and in Detroit, he flowed through San Francisco and now resides in Berlin where he's been testing his newest sounds. Weaving together pounding bass and layered noise, we can hear the sound of those foundational influences both more abstracted and more refined. Bolus is a full spectrum assault, Rubber Fist rocks out, Tenderfuk tells the story, and It's Expensive.. contextualizes the whole assault. Complete with cover art by Ian Liddle, It's Expensive and it Can Kill You brings the best of Berlin to your system. Digital files are full quality, professionally mastered wav or flac downloads. Form and Structure is on the launch, expect new releases by the month!

Next up on From & Structure, FS002 manifests as a strong release from Void stalwart Killx8. Always performing in disguise, in full ninja garb, many have wondered just who exactly this masked figure is. One thing is for sure though: whether in his sets or in his recorded material Killx8 delivers some of the best modern hard broken acid there is to find. On this release we see a more varied approach as Killx8 shows of his on point production skills remixing Void Tactical artists. Killx8 takes one of Jstat's first tracks on wax (from VTCL001) and reworks it's cold machinery into a true dancefloor destroyer. He also digs deep, surfacing an often performed, but never released, Split Horizon track and remixing it with his signature breakcore translated beat structures. A treatment of Dimentia's Konstrain, released on Void008, rounds out the release, a playful but hard-hitting Chicane remix adds a touch of humor and the opening track gives us a window into what is to come from Killx8's own production. Don't miss this release and get ready to hear more from Killx8!

Jstat is John Leonard, and he's been busy this year.  You may know him through his budding career as a graphic designer, or possibly through this work with the Imagination Station on a certain Robocop Statue, but anyone hanging around Void for the last 5 years knows that his deep work has been in the studio.  Form and Structure #3 catches up on a vast catalog of unreleased material, contrasting the brooding Reaction Formation with a slammin' broken techno delivery via Positive Feedback Loop.  One of the core contributors to Void's sound, Jstat moves the dancefloor with hybrid rhythms only Detroit can produce.  With slick album artwork provided by Ogo Eion and high quality digital mastering by Ryan Friederich aka Xanopticon, Form and Structure delivers once again.  It's time to lend this one an ear…

The Heresy EP finds Portland, Oregon's Intergalacterrorist joining up with the Void Tactical Media clan for his first release on Form and Structure. Showing off his diverse talent, the EP kicks off with the cyber-funk jam Heresy, before diving deep into the textural, hard sonics of Torn Apart - an exploration of sonic space and broken beats. Keeping it truly intergalactic, we then ride out on a cosmic gong-noise wave with Mercury. A long time participant in the West Coast underground, new listeners to Intergalacterrist will quickly hear a unique approach combined with a characteristic sonic void-mindedness. Here more from Intergalacterrorist at on Soundcloud or just sit tight while we get to work on his next release!

To boot, this time the album artworks features one of our most notable audio artists, but this time in a design vector, so check John Leonard's visual style as you follow the frequencies on this one and get a feel for the breadth of the Void Tactical Media clan.

A long time participant in Michigan's well known noise scene (check Hanson or American Tapes), Redrot - Ryan Opperman by name - gives us the industrial floor in a way only he can. With teeth cut in grindcore bands and distorted electronic hardware, Redrot can give you all the darkness you could ever want and more. In Eight Legged EP he gives us 4 solid tracks filled with bass synth / bass drum counterpoint and motion - terror mastered and channeled. Check Mutant Youth Choir and Dead Rat Wheel's groove the bass lines, while Under Your Skin gives you a totally spooked out ride and Eight Legged Acid provides what can only be called a true acid creeper. This is Industrial bass at it's best - threading broken beats and sculpted low end together seamlessly into dance floor bombs that open up entirely new vectors of hybrid sound. With album artwork by Intoner, this may very well be THE creature feature of 2012.

Form and Structure 006 hits hard featuring the first of several 2 track EP to be released by Dimentia. One of Void Tactical Media's most crucial artists and collaborators, Dimentia presents here two tracks of serious sonic sculpture and dancefloor mayhem in his signature style. In A Dream Manifested, Dimentia hones waves of chaos into a unparalleled broken bass noise and electro onslaught. With Xanopticon stepping in again on the final mix and mastering, this sonic delivery is targeted for dancefloor and forest floor alike. Lend this one an ear and stay tuned for a juggernaut of releases from Dimentia as 2012 unfolds!

Mixing the austere digital sonics of a destroyed world with a funky, tongue in cheek dance floor vibe, WMX knows how to rock the party. After seeing him consistently throw down at Darkmatter, Void Tactical, and SPAZ parties we knew it was time to get his music out. On MACHINE VISION, WMX weaves elegantly detailed, sharp broken programming into a dark, yet playful, perspective on current technological development. The first half of an audio diptych, WMX invites us to place electronic music squarely in the context of the quickening development of intelligent machines, and both their military and civilian uses. We all know that, at least in part, our fascination with electronic music stems from questioning the changing definition of humanity. So WMX lets us in on his secret: you can engage some serious critique, but also keep it fun and have a great party.
