NUCLEAR WASTE — Uranium Dealer 2x12"

Nuclear Waste – Uranium Dealer opens the Exarde XRDLP010 2×12-inch vinyl with a decisive statement from the Spanish-based producer. The double-LP arrives as part of the label’s LP series, offering a dense electro vision that oscillates between harsh, industrial-tinged tracks and moments of spiritually-infused techno. The collaboration with graffiti artist Gkoner supplies a visual identity that mirrors the music’s radioactive intensity. Within Exarde’s current output, Uranium Dealer follows a series of releases that showcase the label’s commitment to forward-thinking dance music. Recent outings such as Do or Die’s “Hits Back” (XRD043), Aconytich’s “Humanity Collapse” (XRD042) and David Guriev’s “Erica Cruz” (XRD041) illustrate a roster that moves fluidly between techno, electro and experimental club sounds. Nuclear Waste’s return therefore feels like a natural continuation of the label’s sonic narrative, reinforcing Exarde’s reputation for high-concept releases. Side A opens with “U231”, a track that immediately stakes a claim with a weighty, mechanistic drive, setting the tone for the side’s second cut, “U232”, which deepens the atmosphere while maintaining the same kinetic thrust. The B-side expands the palette: “U233” and “U234” keep the momentum tight, while “U235” introduces a more meditative density that hints at the techno undercurrent mentioned in the label’s notes. Moving to side C, “U236” and “U237” sustain the record’s relentless energy, each track acting as a conduit for the “nuclear audio warfare” the description evokes, with the sequencing designed to keep a DJ’s set in constant motion. Side D concludes the journey with “U238” and “U239”. The final two cuts bring the record full circle, delivering a blend of brutal electro aggression and the “spiritually infused dense techno” that the label highlights. Their placement at the record’s end provides a satisfying release of tension, ideal for closing a set or for use as a powerful transition into more melodic territory. In the context of Nuclear Waste’s own discography, Uranium Dealer follows the 2025 “Controlled Area” on UNSYS RIOTS (UNRT02) and the 2024 “Nuclear Corporation” on Cupula Recordings (CUPULA005). Both earlier releases explored the artist’s fascination with industrial textures and techno frameworks, and the new double-LP can be heard as an expansion of those ideas, now delivered on a larger format that allows for extended development of each theme. For DJs, the record offers a toolkit of tracks that can be deployed at various points in a set. The A-side cuts work well as opening statements or peak-time drivers, while the B-side provides deeper, more hypnotic material suitable for sustained grooves. The C-side maintains momentum, and the D-side’s closing tracks are suited for late-night resolution or for layering with more melodic elements. Collectors will appreciate the cohesive visual concept, the continuity with Exarde’s recent catalogue, and the way the double-LP format gives each piece room to breathe. The release is pressed as a 2×12-inch vinyl, matching the label’s standard for its LP series. The format supports the album’s expansive structure, allowing each of the nine tracks to be presented with ample groove space, which is essential for preserving the depth of the electro and techno elements that define the record.
