Alex Hall’s Manchester-based record label, @NATURALSCIENCES, celebrates its 10-year anniversary next month with the release of the fifth instalment of Embryo—a box set that bridges the imprint’s DIY punk-electronics roots with the '80s tape scene, Ukraine’s dungeon rap movement, and the contemporary underground.
The collection features a 22-track compilation showcasing artists such as Crawl of Time, Ineffable Slime, Iggor Cavalera, DJ Sacred, Mutant Joe, Mars89, Quiet Husband, and Svartvit. It also includes an EP from DJ Warzone—highlighted by a collaboration with Florian Kupfer—alongside a 7” featuring unreleased 1989 recordings from Osiris and SEEMEN, now pressed to vinyl for the first time.
A standout from the release, DJ Warzone’s contribution to Embryo immediately caught our attention, delivering raw, speaker-shredding DIY techno with an unhinged, roughneck energy. His collaboration with Florian Kupfer is an undeniable highlight, which we are delighted to premiere.
Ahead of the drop, Natural Sciences founder Alex Hall caught up with Austrian producer DJ Warzone to find out more about the origins of his release, their affinity for Basic Channel, and his affinity for the abrasive sonics championed by Endangered Species, L.I.E.S. Records, and LA Club Resource.
