  • Post Scriptum’s identity might not be known, but the radioactive music he makes already has a real place in the world.
    In an impressively short time, this previously unknown project has made a live debut at Berlin techno institution Berghain, and was then signed for a debut album on Function’s Infrastructure label. It all came after the co “Sandwell District” label owner - Function unearthed Post Scriptum’s nuclear sounding tracks and placed Post Scriptum’s “Human Timescales” on Berghain 07 Part I on Ostgut. Berghain 07 was an installment in the series of DJ mixes by the Berlin club's residents, mixed by Infrastructure founder. Accompanying the mix were two 12”s, where Post Scriptum‘s ‘Human Timescales’ featured alongside tracks from DVS1, Steve Bicknell and Luke Slater. Fresh from his appearance on Berghain 07 mix, Post Scriptum's eponymous, killer CD album and double vinyl pack of Millsian disciplines simply called Post Scriptum 01 was released via the legendary Infrastructure New York imprint. This stunning full-length thoroughly outlined the sonic intentions of the project over 11 otherworldly tracks, revealed an uncompromisingly powerful sound, perfectly balanced between rolling heft and diffuse, airy dynamics. Reviews elsewhere have called it "one of the year's best techno albums", Largely spooky, clandestine and paranoid, it mixed hypnotic, floor-friendly rhythms with crusty, minimal-style textures and vintage bleeps and electronic melodies. His debut album outlined the post-apocalyptic intentions of the project and really stood alone as a complete artistic statement. The above-mentioned releases led to making of live appearances around the worldwide techno music institutions. Consequently this shadowy figure, started to forge links to the techno underground via his debut album tour appearences at Berghain, Audioriver Festival, Tresor, Berlin Atonal, Batofar Paris, La Graviere, Neone Prague, Elysia Basel, Time Shift Bologna, Dude Club Milan, Radion Amsterdam, Corsica Studios, Fabric London, Lux Fragil, Gare Porto, ADE Festival, Reaktor event, touring as far as Melbourne Australia, New York city and Europe wide. From the outset, Post Scriptum live performances were evolving and thus providing the impetus for continuous mutation in numerous sound directions. Post Scriptum further honed his craft with appearances on the Facticity compilation alongside such industrial techno luminaries as Silent Servant, Rrose and Vatican Shadow. 2017 saw an even bolder step forward into the realms of bass-heavy power-noise and more surprising song-writing structures via the Until You Drop EP, released on Adam X's legendary Sonic Groove label. Fitting effortlessly into a roster which included fellow veterans of various genres like Orphx and Blush Response, this release managed to strike out in directions rarely heard in today's BPM-focused four-to- the-floor scene, influenced by an ever-evolving live set-up. The classic industrial menace of lead cut Dark As You Like - fusing Skinny Puppy-style lyrical venting to corrosive bass stabs and sickly synths - and the throbbing, weaponized churn of “You Won't Find Me” - the sort of speaker-shredding peak-time crowd-pleaser both marked an unexpected but wildly impressive development for a finely-honed sound that continued to move forward fearlessly. This evolution served as a catalyst for the creation of yet new music and consequently planted a seed to establish own imprint – Post Scriptum records. With the inception of his own record label, came the Year Zero EP, representing a quantum leap into more distorted textures and ever-harsher beats while still maintaining the deadly sense of surgical precision, which distinguished Post Scriptum from the crowd. The dawning of 2023 does promise a barrage of new Post Scriptum material to be unleashed plus further forays into the live arena which will see the project incorporate more organic live elements. Deconstructing and moving beyond the sci-fi aesthetic often employed by electronic genres will allow the project to delve into even darker and more personal subject matter, giving both listeners and clubbers more to chew on and opening-up new avenues for experimental sound design. It will see Post Scriptum further tapping into the energy of modern techno as well as the raw psychotic force of peak-period industrial to forge an idiosyncratic path through today's landscape of fear and ever-present threat.
