Downwards
Downwards Records is the long-standing and somewhat legendary techno label of Karl O'Connor a.k.a. Regis and Peter Sutton a.k.a. Female. The two artists' vision of austere, industrial techno has, alongside the productions of label-mate Surgeon, served as an influential template for related projects such as Sandwell District and the entire style of dark, minimalistic dub techno.

Silent Servant side-project Tropic of Cancer combines inspirations from classic new wave albums such as 'Unknown Pleasures', 'Seventeen Seconds' and 'Psychocandy' with a subtle touch of contemporary dub/drone avant-garde. Fine album and not only for die-hard goths.
