New release: The Man Unknown - Primitive Future

One of the most anticipated releases of 2024 so far has been finally released!
Of course we are talking about "Primitive Future" by The Man Unknown.
But nomen non est omen in this case - this Man should be far from being Unknown!
Having his roots in the 90s scene (when Hardcore and Speedcore were still taking form), he later did some marvelous releases in the Doomcore sector - on labels like Black Monolith, System Shutdown, or Dark.Descent.


So, The Man Unknown steps out of the shadow again - and we will continue this feature in his own words.

First, this is what his organisation has to say about the release.

"Primitive Future" by The Man Unknown
Step into the world of The Man Unknown with his latest E.P., "Primitive Future." This release marks a significant shift in his musical journey, offering a unique blend of nostalgia and innovation.

Back to the Roots with a Modern Twist
For the first time in two decades, The Man Unknown brings you a purely analog experience. "Primitive Future" is an homage to the raw, warm sounds of the '90s – a sound that digital mixing often struggles to replicate. By returning to analog recording and mixing, The Man Unknown captures the essence of a bygone era, delivering it with a modern sensibility.


Inside "Primitive Future"
This E.P. features four main tracks, pulsating at a dynamic 150bpm, designed to energize the dance floor with their dark, doom-laden rhythms. Accompanying these is a bonus track, a perfect sonic companion for long drives or travel, offering a different vibe from the rest.

Available Across Platforms
You can find "Primitive Future" on Bandcamp, Spotify, and other popular streaming services. For a visual taste of the E.P., check out the video shorts available on YouTube.

A Personal Note from The Man Unknown
This E.P. represents more than just new music; it's a personal milestone for The Man Unknown. It's about achieving a long-sought-after sound quality and aesthetic – a sound that's both primitive in its analog roots and futuristic in its contemporary execution.
Dive into "Primitive Future" and experience the unique blend of past and present, brought to you by The Man Unknown.


And these are further words by The Man Unknown about the release:

PURE ANALOG DOOM
This is my first release since two decades that is analog recorded AND mixed down on analog hardware. Before, I did already record everything through my mixing desk, but the mix was done digital on my computer. I always had the feeling that the final output is too thin and never met my own expectations. I really wanted to recreate that particular, warm, fat and slightly distorted sound we all enjoyed in the 90's, simply because there was no other way to do it than using hardware.

The result is a 4-tracker E.P. with an additional bonus track that I am really proud of as it redefined my workflow and finally has the sound aesthetics I was thriving for.

LISTEN IN!
 
I hope you enjoy this release and I would love to hear how the tracks perform on the floor if you are a DJ!

SEE YOU!
Yours, The Man Unknown
