All Vinyl New Releases - News

With The Sound of Graz, the springfestival graz made it possible for local talents to fulfill the dream of their own vinyl record. Styrian artists could submit their club tracks in a competition. An expert jury consisting of the Elevate Festival, FAZEmag, Radio FM4, Radio Soundportal and GROOVE magazine, chaired by initiator Thomas Mussbacher, decided who would be featured on the album. Of a total of around 80 entries, twelve made it onto the album. In October the records were released in a limited edition of 1.000 copies. The proceeds go to the Styrian Children's Cancer Aid.

YOIONWAX is a series of limited-edition vinyl only releases.
The first part of this series brings together musicians from four countries: Sebbe from Argentina, Watsche from Russia, Kylin Tyce from England and S.O.N. from Germany.

The unique sound of each track makes the record worthy to be in the collection of every house music lover.

when I was selecting tracks for my essential mix Clint send me his newest productions. I immediatly felt in love with the tracks and included one in my mix and sign the two tracks for terminal m. I am also superhappy about the great remix of timmo which gives the track a special soulful techno feeling! (Monika Kruse)

I love their unique style, rolling grooves, warm melodies and they are always funky. Another 4 track ep with Drunken Kong tracks for every occasion! (Monika Kruse)

HVOB: Trialog HVOB present their second album as an interdisciplinary work of art: ten physical processes are reflected in interactive installations, visuals and sounds. With their successful debut album ('HVOB', 2013) and five EPs, HVOB have crafted a unique panoply of sound: intelligent and driving, challenging and melodic. 'Trialog', the second album by the producer duo Anna Müller and Paul Wallner, will be releases on April 17th. I. Project Above all, 'Trialog' is an interdisciplinary art project, comprising a discourse between the disciplines of sound, video and installation, realised by HVOB, the VJs licherloh and the visual artist Clemens Wolf. The theme centres on ten ubiquitous physical processes, which are being documented and interpreted interactively on three artistic levels; via Clemens Wolf's orchestrated processes, the lyrics and sounds of HVOB's tracks, and the visuals by VJs lichterloh. II. Album Tearing, mixing, bursting, melting, oxidising, breaking, imploding, etching, bending, burning, track to video, video to artwork, artwork to track: 'Trialog' depicts the transformation of ten physical processes in ten tracks. HVOB's sound distinctively shapes the album, yet the duo now interpret their acoustic palette in darker, more accentuated, techno-leaning shades. Each of the ten tracks pursues its own individual dramaturgy: the opener 'Azrael' tears apart its built-up percussive tension, 'Clap Eyes' inches along frailly, 'The Anxiety to please' deepens and condenses until it implodes. References, inspirations and associations between materials, processes and artistic disciplines create an artistic depth, which renders the album a highl complex and complete work of art. III.

On the back of their critically acclaimed 'Oblivion' EP, from which 'Sensation' was named one of the techno tracks of 2016 by Mixmag, Monika Kruse rejoins her brothers-from-another-mother Pig&Dan for another electrifying two-track EP.

Both tracks - 'Get Me On' and 'So Good' featured in her celebrated debut Essential Mix that aired on April 1 and have highlighted the iconic techno artist's sets over the past month, everywhere from Time Warp to her wildly popular b2b with Andrea Oliva at Boiler Room Madrid in March.

Produced during an inspired couple of days in Mallorca with Pig&Dan in January, both records are explosive techno weapons built for the peaktime and propelled by a stunning warehouse stomp. 'Get Me On' is a driving affair from the outset, powered by a compelling mainroom groove that's gradually immersed in exhilarating cyclone swirls of melody. 'So Good' is as delectable as its name, characterized by a roaring buildup that's drawn out dramatically for much of its 8-minute running time, working in tandem with several carefully deployed breakdowns. Both records are destined to leave a devastating impact at festivals over the summer.

I am happy to welcome these two new great producers Matt Sassari and Patrick Berg on board at Terminal M! Get some funky bassy acid techno groovers (Monika Kruse).

Mission #5 from Challenger Deep: Stillhead steps forward, brightening the darkest of places. The descent begins with an approaching menace from the deep, deftly handled by the helmsman. The Scottish mastermind then delves further still, delivering a forward thinking piece of electronic dub music, forged in the ceaseless depth of the abyss.

No digital, no bandcamp, always exclusive to physical and online record shops.

As always with Hell Yeah, the next release comes from an artist label boss Marco fell utterly in love with before forming a close musical relationship. His name is Calm, and this summer he releases his eighth studio album, by Your Side. It is an effortlessly evocative long player and magical ten track trip into soothing sonic waters, glistening harmonies and horizontal rhythms.

Calm is legendary Japanese artist Fukagawa Kiyotaka, someone who has been making deep house, ambient and downtempo grooves since the late nighties, and always teasing spine tingling emotions out of his machines.

Black Brook Limited BBLV010 comes along with analog underground techno from Lisbon's
man of the hour Cardao. The Portuguese produces techno in his distinctive unique style. It has
a lot of bass in it and slightly funking signals guide you the way into deep hypnotic tunnels. In
parts of the track Nemesis you feel the dominance of the raw sewing hihats driving you even
further. By the way each track keeps the groove which is so often missed these days. Thumbs up!

The wide-spread admiration for Uijui’s production chops has been imminent for several years now, only stalled by the instant gratification of endless night outs, snooker and one or two shattered computer hard disks. He’s been crafting discreet and thoughtful, yet effective midnight sun house and heartfelt techno over the years concluding in a 3-track EP for Cold Blow.

Griffé is back with a new uncompromising release. For this second EP, the Corsican born P.O presents his very first (almost) solo record. Eminent member of the duo Solär Sound System with Jimmy Batt (who comes to lend him a hand on the powerful A2 track "Reveille toi").

For this release, P.O offers 5 tracks oscillating between several styles, flirting with EBM, break, techno and many others. There are tracks designed for the dancefloor as well as the UFO "I Don't Feel Anything" which comes as a breath between the other tracks. The whole is linked by a dark and powerful atmosphere, common between each track and which will give the title of the EP, aptly named "Dark Phase Cylcle EP".

On Golden Hour Thomas Schumacher uses his wealth of knowledge and unique ability to push boundaries, once again raising the bar for dynamic, peaktime Acid Techno.

Variable Is The First Compilation On Pi Electronics, Which Also Kicks Off The New Catalogue Peva. This Various Artists Release Includes The Works Of Several Artists Involved In The Label Till Now, Along With Some Very Familiar Faces To Pi That Have Been Supporting The Parties In The Past Years. The Aim Was To Bring The Main Label Roster - Artists With Original Music On Pi, Such As Jk Flesh, Ontal And Damcase - Under The Same Roof As Artists That Have Been With The Pi Electronics Project Since Its Early Days: The Label's Party Residents, 3.14, Nemmett And Das Along With Other Fellow Athenians, Unhuman, Bmsk And The Project 'i Am Legion, For We Are Many'. The Outcome Will Be Available In Cd, Vinyl And Digital Format, While The Vinyl Sampler Will Feature Jk Flesh, Ontal, Nemmett And Bmsk.

Regardless Of The Different Variables, Equation Drops Back To The Same Constant Result.
Divide And Rule. Sticks Over Carrots. Repent Or Collapse.

Young artist Charlotte de Witte continues to bolster a credible catalogue of tough, no-nonsense Techno with the introduction of her second solo EP for Tiga's extolled Turbo label. With a recent nod from Alan Fitzpatrick who included her Weltschmerz (Melodic Theme) in his recent Fabric mix she is an artist with a penchant for dark and moody atmospherics. Now - after her inclusion in the recent 12-track VA on Suara - the previously gold-selling Ghentian producer follows up her collaboration with Oscar & The Wolf and her first solo EP on London's Bad Life with Sehnsucht: a bold four-track record packed with burly kick drums, steely synth tones and hypnotic vocal sampling primed for discerning big-room crowds. Also included in the package is a ruthless remix from Suara boss Coyu. The title track is an apocalyptic march propelled by a purposeful kick and an unapologetic clap that keeps the pressure up throughout before 'My Feeling' lays a circling, hypnotic vocal over scuttling claps and luminous, flashing hi hats. Coyu then steps in with his take on 'My Feeling', pushing it into overdrive and marrying brash, white-noise snare drums with shuddering hats and vocal snippets. 'Enough' then sets sharp drums knocking against cold and capacious textures before a disquieting and arresting vocal suffuses the track to stunning effect. 'Den Ganzen Abend' then brings the record to a sinister close as a pellucid German vocal sample is set creeping over an ineffably weighty low-end sitting it comfortably on the floor of Berghain and capping off another coup for a consistently reliable label and an artist firmly on her ascent.

Wurzel's second chapter showcases four mesmerizing tracks from four different well-grounded artists. Hypnotic beats, tasty grooves and cosmic melodies merge onto a unique dynamic canvas. Mighty weapon to have in the bag.

The label Bond is the brainchild of Swedish techno DJ and producer Petter B. The concept of the label is 'music by DJs for DJs'. The label focuses on releasing tracks that enable the DJ, rather than the producer, to be creative. It is based on that special bond which is created every time a DJ combines tracks, loops and sounds live into something new and unique.
This third release is a special collab release. The first track Petter B has joined forces with two producers from his hometown Gothenburg. John H and M.E.E.O have been part of the Swedish underground scene since they learned how to spell 303 and are both addicted to hardware gear. With their skillful crafting of the melodic parts and Petters feel for drums and arrangement this track was born. It is a melodic monster with a simple yet
effective arrangement.On the flip side there are two tracks made by Stockholm based producer Kimono. A familiar name to those fond of that Stockholm sound. He has done releases on famous labels such as H-Productions, ISL and BEK Audio. These two tracks are best described as tooly and effective weapons to be used and abused by any DJ wanting to spice up the mix. The two tracks made it in to Petter Bs crate immediately as demos. From that point they went through the same refinement process as his own tracks usually experience. Tweaking the sound and doing some fine tuning after testing it in his sets, something that has become known as 'that bond treatment'.

Internal Crosstalk see's Heartless finding inspiration in his own anxieties and fears. Heartless manages to mature his already distinctive sound through experimentations in unconventional tunings and microtonality, creating something truly original and otherworldly. Conceived in the isolation of the Welsh countryside, Internal Crosstalk doesn't find influence in anything other than the battle between Heartless' positive and negative meditations of the human form.

The EP beings with ruminations of existentialism in 'Who We Are What We Are'. Mutated tribal bassline and short bursts of tense percussive clatterings live throughout the track in what Heartless calls 'a classic crescendo piece'. A true understanding of pace remains a focal skill for Heartless, building dizzying synths with just the right amount dynamic shifts producing a perfect balance of anxiety and relief.

'Into the Shadows' is Heartless at his darkest and most experimental. Overdriven rave chords squirm around a kick pattern that remains the same over the course of the track. Heartless presents a truly cinematic depiction of isolation through intensely thought over sound design.

'Internal Voice' is inspired by Heartless' 'doubts regarding production choices' . It focuses on the internal voices that question your decision making during creative processes. Heartless uses feedback chains and filters to mimic the tiring relentlessness of self-doubt, the questions and never-ending tweaks that come with production of art. The song effortlessly strips away all the intensity built up throughout the track during the last minute, it simulates the hope that is gained through smatterings of self-confidence.

'Urgency of Self' is the breakdown of the battle between the meditations of positive and negative thought explored through the EP. A reflection of the fear of change, 'Urgency of Self' is static in its structure and unlike its predecessors, stays the same, almost succumbing to its own negative thought. Taken as whole, Internal Crosstalk ultimately finds triumph in its ability to overcome the anxieties that influenced it. Claustrophobic, sinister and hauntingly introspective, Heartless has produced an EP for anyone who has ever found doubt in their own abilities whilst pushing the boundaries set in his previous release Impulse Model.

HEL.IV on Sacret Court

“Tides” is Joachim Spieth’s second longplayer which will be released on his own Affin imprint. The album is divided into 8 tracks, built by seemingly endless, sensitively interwoven surfaces and creates curves of tension between immersive, melancholic and euphoric moments. Layers of atmospheric sounds create a dense and engaging mood, flowing into a swirl of emotions.

Working with technical limitations, Metro Skim masters the 'art of omission' showing that what can be left out is just as important as what is included. Momentum is achieved with ticking 909 Hi-Hats and grumbling basslines before being thrown into whole tracks of beat-less techno sequences.

With technology becoming ever more synonymous with the mind and body it is no surprise that when asked about the future of Techno, Metro Skim simply replies 'Techno is the future'.

Working with technical limitations, Metro Skim masters the 'art of omission' showing that what can be left out is just as important as what is included. For Metro Skim, innovation is born out of the limitations of analog equipment. The EP, Identifying Possibilities, is defined 'by the removal of floating matter, to release unnecessary thoughts: Skim'

Whilst the EP finds influence in inter-dimensional space travel, space is also found within the structure and arrangement of the tracks. Momentum is achieved with ticking 909 Hi-Hats and grumbling basslines before being thrown into whole tracks of beat-less techno sequences. With 6dimensions exploring the 'balance and imbalance of the human mind's natural make-up' Metro Skim has taken the label ethos as blueprint and examines the unpredictability of the human condition through otherworldly synthesis.

'Awareness' and 'From 3D into 5th' open the EP with confident minimalism. With relentless modular sequences and gradual progression of 909 beats, these compositions showcase alien sounds held together by familiar technologies. 'Lost In It' finds the EP at its most unforgiving. Crisp hi-hats and rides rapidly drive the track forward over the transcendental modular synthesis that have quickly become inseparable from Metro Skim's approach to production. The more commonplace traits of Techno are slowly peeled away on the EP's second side. 'Unconsciousness', 'Inner Resistance' and 'Into Imbalance' reveal the full force of Metro Skim's adventitious sound pallet that expands upon the soundscapes that are presented in the beginning of the EP. Modular sequences become dissonant and the recognizable 909 is taken away. Metro Skim's influence of feeling 'lost in the madness of daily life' is apparent in the ending of this EP as what has become accustomed in the realms of electronic music is stripped away.

Identifying Possibilities finds its inspiration in the symbiotic nature of human feeling and space, presenting confusion, familiarity, awareness balance and imbalance within a techno construct. Metro Skim describes music as a 'spiritual travel' and Identifying Possibilities succeeds in this statement.

Metro Skim, deeply rooted in the underground, shrouded in mystery, and adopting music as their preferred form of communication to convey their message. Following up on Metro Skim’s two previous releases on 6dimensions, ‘Identifying Possibilities’ in 2107, ‘Actualising Possibilities’ in 2018. Metro Skim now provides us with, ‘Generator Of Thoughts’ on Steve Bicknell’s 6dimensions.

Metro Skim unifies symbiotic relations between technology and human form, preserving a pure and natural process guided by an uncompromising mode of production.

Metro Skim’s returns to 6dimensions with 'Generator Of Thoughts’, their third release on the label, a five track EP, shifting the balance of senses with intoxicating analog headiness......

2 Years after his first solo Album, PVS comes back on KEY Vinyl. "Kontrol" represents clearly the vision of techno from who always believed in the true spirit of it.

Steve Bicknell returns to his 6dimensions label, adopting his The Evader guise once again with a re- issue release titled 'Awakening The Past 2'. Returning as The Evader for the second instalment of 'Awakening The Past', this will be Steve's fourth appearance on 6dimensions and features four tracks from 1994's 'No Hats Required' EP, which dropped on influential UK label, Cosmic Records - the tracks were originally made by Steve to be played together as a segment in various combinations. This release follows outings from 6dimensions artists Jing, Metro Skim and Heartless - continuing the label's theme of illustrating the 'human mind's natural make-up'. 'No Hats Required - Track 1' displays a locked 4x4 groove, filled with tidy modulations bouncing gracefully off the kicks before 'Track 6' offers a fast-pitched looping beat with floating percussive jitters. 'Track 2' then features twisted stab sequences over a minimal drum loop before a rolling 808 beat joins oscillating bass flutters in 'Track 3'. On the flip, Bicknell presents two new tracks recorded in 2017. 'Power Of Balance' provides cross firing synth shrills layered and tough techno convolutions to generate a rising intensity, until 'Shifting Illusion' concludes the package with minimalist dubbed-out flavours whilst flush melodies harmonise with continuous pulsations.

After having released their debut EP „Fading Pictures“ in 2019, we are proud to present Aksel & Aino’s first full length titled “Lullabies for Submarines”.
The album is light & dark, mysterious & emotional and above all it is a grand tale of companionship. While celebrating the uncountable facets of human relationships with all the sadness that comes along naturally, the duet of Aksel’s instrumentations and Aino’s poetry always remains upbeat (positive) looking into a bright future, leaving us with the simplest, most sincere and best wish of them all: “I hope we grow old together somewhere inside this great adventure we use to call life.”

SHEKON propose us a romantic techno vision of the main track, the way we love to dance with the closed eyes and dreaming a lot. Check !
