Thanks to the good people at Adrian Recordings, I can now link you to this month's new Dmitry Fyodorov single "Warcollapse!": https://www.adrianrecordings.com/warcollaps-320.mp3
Sounds like something a crustpunk band would do, doncha think? Anyhow, so says the label: "This track will take you to the dark techno side of town on an old school t-34 tank driven by Cleopatra Jones. This is the first track in a series of four on a special theme celebrating some great landmarks of time and the spirit of keeping it on the wrong side of train tracks."
As mentioned before, Adrian Recordings will be releasing a new single from Dmitry Fyodorov every month on the 29th.
