Not content with releasing the amazing ‘ICU Tracks’ from Production Unit, we’re moving straight on to our next, very different release. From Brooklyn’s Penalune, it’s a DVD/digital release that touches on classic British industrial sounds, noise and drone to mesmerising effect.

hello
welcome to Broken20.
Broken20 is a new label from ruaridhTVO, with assistance from production unit and erstlaub
Broken20 will release all sorts of music. Rather than be genre-tied, we will be releasing music rooted in a particular aesthetic – releases concerned with decay, erosion, entropy, mistakes and errors, line noise and tape hiss, hum and buzz.
We’ll primarily be a digital download label, although there will be forays into highly limited cd- and dvd-r variants of our releases. We hope to eventually release some vinyl editions.
2012
November 19th Production Unit – There Are No Shortcuts In A Grid System

TVO/Covered In Sand – Red Night Variations cassette/DVD
Orphax DVD
EP Series 1: Semtek
further: Spatial, Tengui, Mick Finesse, DJ Votive/Dour Tonic Input, and a reissue from the 1950s
To accompany the amazing new album from Production Unit, we’ve developed a microsite to go with it featuring all of his past work, to give context to his debut album. As well as four full EPs, there are dj mixes and interviews to examine.
