About Hands

Hands Productions was founded in 1990 in Fürth, Germany, by Udo Wiessmann as a platform for his own projects Winterkälte, Atrum and Severance. Over the years the label’s catalog spanned minimalist ambient, breakbeat and rhythmic noise, with Winterkälte’s early vinyl releases helping define the drum’n’noise style associated with the label. Hands later moved its operations to Dortmund, Germany, and has released early work from acts including Orphx, Needle Sharing and Ah Cama-Sotz. “Forms of Hands” is the label’s recurring various-artists compilation series; this 23rd volume gathers current and past Hands artists.

It’s been a long time since we’ve heard new material from MS Gentur, but Sven Phalanx (best known for his collaboration with Andreas Davids of Xotox) has been prolific in recent years. Both hailing from Frankfurt, Germany, the two have teamed up to create 11 intense, hard-hitting Industrial tracks. Their collaboration merges Electro with pure Industrial, leaning heavily into the Rhythmic Noise genre. While there are moments of minimalism throughout, the overall tone is aggressive and unrelenting, reminiscent of what originally defined Hands’ signature sound. This release is sure to appeal to old-school Industrial fans. (Rate:8).
