redose-3 - Senyawa / Charles Cohen
Indonesian hardcore band Senyawa board the Morphine Records mothership in early 2015, with a stunning upcoming album "Menjadi" (doser025LP). A preview appears here in the shape of a an extraordinary album track replayed by Charles Cohen's on his Buchla Music Easel. While enjoying a few months residence in Germany, Mr Cohen conducted a ritual-esq and tonal re-adaptation - flushing the song through layers of spaced out orchestrated grooves. Meanwhile in the US, explorer of the deepest depths, Robert Turman, smashed Charles' Conundrums into small bits and recrafted it in his own masterful manner. He seems to channel a similar ability of melting down the metal in a sound, and forging it into new and expanding shapes. .

doser024lp-sote-architectonic
The focal rhythmic element is achieved with programmed pitched sounds via FM, Physical Modeling and Additive synthesis methods in a modular environment. These aural components that withstand spectral and formant filters, as well as other signal processing units, form harmonies and melodies that interchangeably act as the structural groove. The outcome is occasionally polyrhythmic aiming for a Common-time feel and vice versa. Interwoven patterns and complex ornaments within a pliant grid form a diametric functionality of loop-based trance-inducing music, and require active listening. This is a paradoxical ode to Noise and Techno progressing further.

doser021LP . charles cohen - music for dance and theater
While in the process of recording and optimizing the old reel tapes for the initial track list, Cohen discovered a master tape that was originally prepared for an extremely limited cassette release on the Generations Unlimited imprint in NYC. This collection, preserved in the original order of its initial release, contains some of Cohen’s collaborations and performances in theater pieces and art installations by Jeff Cain, Tonio Guerra, Group Motion and more. A 2LP document, Music for Dance and Theater shows Cohen’s extremely sensitive and creative integration of sound into these theatrical performances and visual art installations. .

doser020LP - charles cohen - group motion
Group Motion is a Dance Theater in Philadelphia founded by Manfred Fischbeck with whom Cohen collaborated and performed. The Group Motion Performance is a live recording with the dance company made on the Buchla Music Easel and the Buchla 700 series; the latter, one of the rarest synthesizers on earth. Generator was performed and recorded at the Generator Sound Art Gallery, NYC with the same instrument setup. Apparently these are the only known recordings using the Buchla 700 synthesizer to be formally released, making the Group Motion album the only living proof of this incredible sounding machine.

doser014, hieroglyphic being - the lost transmissions
following the eighth's doser, jamal moss aka hieroglyphic being steps in with one revisitation of a already released track on a extremely limited cdr, the last transmissions, this slower but even more spaced out than the normal, edge of the techno, noise territorial killer. the other side, an original cosmic bibop, one of his most controversial and paranoic outputs, surprising and magical. hieroglyphic being is considered by morphine as our time's visionary, one of the last standing true afro-futurists.

doser015 . metasplice - decant / churn
In a time when techno and abstract music is sounding repetitive, Metasplice continue to utilize unconventional sounds and arrangements. "Decant", being the more floor oriented track, combines groovy bits that turn into splashing immense noises and harmonies. "Churn" opens with a barrage of beautifully crafted harmonic sequences, then relentlessly descends into a sublime world. Both tracks are spectacular floating grooves that immerse the listener in the group's unique and intense headspace.

doser013slp . upperground orchestra - the eupen takes
first long player from upperground orchestra initiates the new 'live series' of morphine records. the eupen takes is a live document clearly showing what the collective is normally improvising on stage, a chaotic but still tight blend of jazz, kraut and electronics, where nothing is previously planned, and analog synths and spaced out sounds melt with instruments in a natural and free approach. the eupen takes lp contains the second half of the june 2011 show at the meakusma stage, eupen muzik marathon.

doser012 . metasplice - topographical interference
emerging from an odd, obscure and unfriendly landscape, metasplice unveils a totally fresh and yet well rooted electronic madness. in their underrated scene made of small rooms and low ceilings, these two philadelphia based producers present their live crafted sounds on a table loaded with boxes and psychedelic leds, bringing the pureness and dirtiness of the noise world into a wider electronic scape. with an increasing catalog of recordings yet to be released, they have begun leaving their own sonic fingerprint on previously established eras of electronic music. metasplice unites the world of the most worshiped techno legends and electronica tycoons with the extremely pure and direct raw mentality of the noise world.

redose-1 . donato dozzy / hieroglyphic being reworks
spacepops (originally released on doser009) getting some special treatment from donato dozzy - one of our heroes from the more psychedelic & percussive side of the techno world. the track hints towards ‘club use’ while luring ears into the avant garde through seductive tweaks of the ems synthi. freak inspector, from madteo's infamous memoria album, gets a total re-mash by jamal moss aka hieroglyphic being- left to brew for a few years in the morphine curing closet and now at optimum maturity for it’s release. two masters of their respective games meeting over the sides of this 12” with more in common than we’d previously imagined

doser011 . morphosis - the tepco report

after more than 2 years of silence, following the mighty levitate venice EP by anthony 'shake' shakir, morphine records breaks the erratic travel and settles down to start delivering a new and drilling batch of dosers. again with an ep by the founder of the label rabih beaini under his morphosis monniker, the tepco report is a "manifesto" against the lies and bad management of the japanese crisis following the terrible earthquake of 2011. with a opening side for the new dosers, exposure is a drifting sequence of elements and sounds, a transitional score bringing the lights and shadows into a constant boiling level. while postatomicpoetry stands for its b side, for a more substained driving deep techno standard, if standard it can be called, the anthem for the solid repeated revolution of raw souls. with this new sonic manifesto, morphine records is back, same weapons, same cure with ultimate methods.

doser010 . shake - levitate venice
A brilliant 12" from one of Detroit’s most respected producers, Anthony 'Shake' Shakir. This is the full release of a super limited white label that dropped earlier this year. A tough and ballsy 12” - going everywhere from off key house and electro bullets to steppers/near Photekish-dubstep. Ridiculous. This will appeal to fans of his output on his own Frictional label and open eared people with a love for solid electronic music!

doser009 . ra.h - time

Spaced out new material from Morphine’s Ra.H – coming with a new edge but in a recognizable style. The EP is powerful mix of dub roots, jacking beats, vocal rings, retro drum machine presets and effects used in strong but simple form. Moving into Wave territory at times with a firm nod towards the Upsetter, Scratch... Time is one thing. Space is another.

doser008 . hieroglyphic being - bathroom sessions

The 'Bathroom Sessions' material can be considered as Jamal Moss' more Experimental; pure and raw acid tracks, roughly recorded and released only on a very limited CD. Since then, there has been massive demand from music lovers for some form of vinyl pressing of this material. Morphine Records have done the honorable thing and selected tracks for release on this KILLER 12”. All tracks have been remastered and tuned to kick extra hard on the floor.

doser007 . morphosis . dark myths of phoenicia pt2

Second Episode of the darkest mythologies in ancient times. Mot, god of death and underground, willing to take over the ancient worlds and the sons of EL. The only way for Baal to defeat his enemy is to go into his world of the undergound, and fight on his level, beating him and returning to life with the help of Anat. The Dark Myths of Phoenicia draws sonic waves to tell these legends about the eternal fight between Good and Bad, between Underground and Life. Mot with its heavy bassline hypnotize and smashes with power and anger, while Yaam is a background presence, ready for a definitive more subtle and refined attack.

doser006 . madteo - memoria
This edition of doser tells a life story with many solid influences: Lee Perry, Italo disco and the black jazz classics. Setting a new standard for the deep house scene, ‘Memoria’ reveals the eclectic and inspired musical path of Madteo, alongside his ‘mental’ and extremely personal (check tracks like: ‘Maconha low Disco’, ‘Abstrack’ and ‘Head Quarters’) He also continues his crucial collaboration with Sensational (formally Torture) delivering the infamous ‘Freak Inspector’, a cruelly mounted freeformed and futuristic Militia Anthem. Madteo's path is clearly one of a visionnary, old school minded, and with stunning musical skills

doser005 . upperground orchestra - solaris eremit
a raw selection out from a live session by the Upperground Orchestra, including a Ra.H edit of Solaris Eremit.

doser004 . ksoul & ra.h - untitled
a one sided thriller from ksoul and ra.h, a direct source material recorded in one session and deserving a whole 12 only for it. a true dancefloor smasher.

doser003 . morphosis . dark myths of phoenicia pt1
After the ‘Hunting’ episode, Morphosis drops back with a series of tracks exploring the phoenician mythology. This one holds mystery, life in darkness and underground.

Soon……

doser002 . ra.h - fall of justice
Ra.H gives comes with crunchy house patterns on a techno slant surround by deeper than deep layers. mad stuff too! 'Fall of Justice' features a tremendous drum roll sustained by organ excursions and thick analogue bass leads; Breaks and ambient padding are not allowed here - this goes straight to the feet. Syncopated drum fills and alternate basslines to refresh the structure on every step. The b-side features a deeper and more rebelliously structured track. 'Cheeky Herbs' has you surrounded by lead organ basses and distorted hats, for a hypnotic and dark feel of freedom.
