All Vinyl New Releases - News

LIMITED Transparent Green 12"

Building on the outright success of his previous outings for the label, The Hidden Figure return to deliver a cutting edge EP of beautiful acid for Exalt Records. 4 acid tracks in various styles, this EP seems a fitting end to a stellar run for this shadowy and mysterious pseudonym of super producer Paul Cignol.

The Jaxx are back. Released for the first time on vinyl, Basement Jaxx 'The Singles' spans everything from the proto punk garage of early hit 'Flylife' to the Motown monster that is 'Good Luck', taking in worldwide smashes like 'Red Alert', 'Where's Your Head At', 'Rendez Vu' and 'Romeo'.

Where most greatest hits albums fall down at least once there can be no argument that this collection delivers the bangers and nothing but.

Basement Jaxx 'The Singles' is both a timely reminder of just how much the Jaxx have turned dance music inside out and the nonchalant ease with which they continue to drop new ever more exciting sub-cultural car crashes on airwaves and dancefloors around the world.

Short Attention, a new Mexican record label, appears for the first time in the vinyl world with a solid release in charge of Chicagodeep, co-owner of Perpetual Rhythms a respected record label from Chicago, putting Mexico in the radar of underground music.
Chicagodeep brings us 4 high quality tracks. Side A kicks things off with the electric synths and solid base of 'Flying Waltz' followed by the deep pads and a very powerful piano from 'Control Substance'. Side B show us a very powerfull drums and a growing sick base inside the track of 'Sofia's Rage' that is maybe the crown jewel. To finish we have '11th Chamber' a classic deep space vibe, where intergalactic chords and bubbly electronics gets equal. All four tracks are top notch.

* Bristol dubstep mainstay Gemmy, a key figure in pioneering the city's electronic music identity alongside fellow 'purple trinity' producers Joker and Guido, is set to release his latest EP 'Unruly' on his World Of Wonders imprint.

* Since his acclaimed 2008 debut with 'Bk 2 The Future' on Peverelist's Punch Drunk imprint, Gemmy has released on respected labels including Pinch's Tectonic, Mike Paradinas's Planet Mu, Soul Jazz and Earwax before forming his own imprint in 2011. The new three-track EP follows on from his 'Bamboozled' EP for World Of Wonders last year and shows off Gemmy's keen talent for crafting purple wave influenced dubstep.

* 'Unruly' offers three tracks that serve as measured excursions in melody and restraint. 'Na Tek Bak Chat' is an intensely rhythmic and darkly spacious production, whilst the searing 'Sonicboom' bristles with funky, grime-inflected rhythm. The propulsive 'Stop Dat!' is a vividly expansive and minimal exploration of bass music.

* 'Unruly' brings another solid release from one of dubstep's most influential producers. World Of Wonders will release 'Unruly' on July 27th.

Strong and hypnotic techno from the mysterious Swedish artist Lakej.

The Attic Music label strives to keep us dancing in these difficult times with a new EP from red hot young Portuguese talent Norbak featuring a remix from the label's owner Fabrizio Lapiana.

Over the last four years, Artur Moreira has quickly established his avant-garde techno sound on labels like Semantica, Soma, Warm Up Recordings and his own label, Hayes. Always exploring the deep and dark end of the spectrum, he has picked up props from the likes of Oscar Mulero and Dasha Rush while going on to establish his name around Europe with killer sets at places like Tresor in Berlin.

The excellent 'Pledge I' opens up with a menacing groove that burrows late into an underground cavern. It sounds earthy and organic and the rock solid kick drums get you into a state of hypnosis while the scurrying synths add more details in which to get lost. 'Pledge II' is another masterfully heady and journeying track that layers up more rubbery, propulsive kick drums with fizzing, electrified synth sounds and pads that encircle you and get you into a state of trance. It's hugely warm and atmospheric.

Over the last decade, Lapiana and his label have become synonymous with evocative techno soundscapes on the finest labels around. Here he serves up a remix of 'Pledge III' that is perfectly smooth and seductive, with soft, looping melodic phrases slowly shapeshifting and melting your mind as they do so. The drums burrow deep into the night and make this a timeless minimal techno classic. Last of all, 'Pledge IV' is a silky techno track that rolls to infinity, with cosmic pads and subtle melodies all weaving around each other and tying your brain in knots.

This is another tasteful EP of high grade techno that works mind, body and soul.

Fypse funk from a past future.. Know your technos!

The Bombtists are back with another EP full of dark & driving Techno

Rave Or Die is delighted to welcome another techno Rave pioneer into the fold. Neil Landstrumm (Tresor, Peacefrog) has been the key figure of the Scottish experimental sound for more than two decades now, multiplying nasty cuts under numerous disguises including Die Fly Die, Navario Sauro or Polaris whilst spearheading future funk on his well known Scandinavia Records.

On ROD number nine, Neil teams up with Edinburg producer and Sativae founder Dave Tarrida to deliver a banging Morocco' tune made of pumpin' basslines and crunching breaks! These guys are no joke when it comes to set fire on the dancefloor.

On the flipside, ROD mastermind Umwelt strikes back with (U=E-RL)', an enigmatic equation and most probably the secret formula to smoke warehouses! Old schoolish grooves with some extra muscle acid lines fused into heavy kicks turn this mental track a la The Mover into an ode to Rave music. A perfect combo of 4/4 anthems in their purest and primitive form, a 10' that melds disparate sounds with scary intends!

After 10 years of deep hibernation, Southern Outpost's sub-label, Datadisk, brings the first in a series of 'System Updates' (think Direct Beat style bonus beats). Southern Outpost label boss, The Sentinel has compiled 9 byte-sized electro tracks/tools programmed specifically for DJ's who like to throw down. The updates were developed by 3 programmers, from opposite ends of the planet. The Sentinel (Southern Outpost/Datadisk), Sol37 (Southern Outpost) both Australian ex-pats now based in San Francisco and Drox (Analog Cabin) based in Sydney, Australia. The tracks are on average 2 mins long, which mean they get straight to the point and are ready to deploy at a moments notice. For the advanced DJ, utilizing 2 copies will offer the opportunity to extend and remix the updates 24,310 ways. The release was mastered at Dubplates & Mastering and pressed at R.A.N.D to ensure the release is at the highest sonic quality

Benjamin Vigneron, also known as Vronsky, was born in 1991 in Aix-en-Provence, France.
As a Teenager, drawn simultaneously to Visual Arts, Cinema and Musiproduction, he made his first contact with Techno by working for a local club as a graphic designer. During his 20s, while living between Montreal, Canada and Marseille, France, it was revealed to Benjamin he suffered from a heavy bipolar disorder. As a reaction, he started losing himself in free parties and increasingly dangerous habits.

Gradually learning to love himself despite his flaws, he kicked his risk-taking after he realized the love of music prevailed over anything else.
Equipped with a strong desire to share his vision despite not being able to perform as a DJ, Benjamin started a youtube channel and a collective named Listening Blue.

Wrong Assessment is back on Planet Rhythm. He delivers a powerful yet mesmerizing 4-tracker, that fits very well in the vein of Planet Rhythm previous outlets.

Conrad Van Orton and Jheal sign the third release for Eyes Have It, 30D sub-label that, as usual, explores the darkest, coldest and even suffocating side of the techno spectrum.

As it happened in the second release (‘Sei Tracce In Nero EP’ by Reeko & Group), the high contrast between both sides gives sense to the album, giving it a strange but perfect balance, this time quite more oriented to the dance floor. It’s for sure that some people will think that CVO and Jheal might use elements that at first sight might be familiar but, let’s be honest, both have the ability to make everything sound very original.

On the A side Conrad Van Orton, an Italian producer with a lot of experience in techno and the most experimental electronics, elevates the listening to a sonic musical experience, literally. The three tracks, although ‘Dysfunctional Organic Device’ is probably the best example, are pure techno brutality, as highly raw, energetic and obsessive as they are obviously functional. Three true ‘monsters’.

On the B side Jheal, a face already known to the label thanks to his brilliant participation in ‘Close Encounters 002’, brings melancholy (‘150 Wreaths’) and tons of introspection (‘Our Fathers’) to the record. It is not easy for industrial techno to sound as emotional as when Alejandro manipulates it, something especially remarkable for such a young producer. Congratulations.

Hugo (Mobilee, Gruuv, Systematic), Aidan Lavelle (Crosstown Rebels, Rebellion, Culprit) and Bvoice & Anrilov (Arma 17) join JCB and Highway Records on a perfect dark and rolling tech house Uppsala EP.

Enough! Music´s 11th work is a especially release by our lovely Marc Miroir with a soulfood remix series from AMAM labelowner Alessio Mereu & Dakpa and Enough! Music head Danilo Schneider. Two wonderful tracks with the name "Skillz" and "Skusy" is the sound of our time. Turn the volume button loud- here comes Marc Miroir. The hypnotic groove, passion and the right sounds in the arrangement are the full craft in this ep.
Both remixes of the track " Skillz " from Danilo Schneider and Alessio Mereu & Dakpa are so excellent, powerful and in the right direction in to your heart.This EP reflects the spirit of good music. Enjoy!

2011 SYSTEM was started as a platform for underground music in Minneapolis. After many club, warehouse, and livestream events SYSTEM is now launching a record label for 2014.

Behind You is the debut release from SYSTEM records, due out late May / early June on vinyl with digital to follow soon after. There will be a small 250 piece run of white vinyl inside record jackets designed and hand printed by local Minneapolis artists.

Label boss Mike Gervais selected three well tested tracks for SYSTEM01. Two functional techno tracks (Behind You, Slip In) and a softer third composition (Push).

Sascha Borchardt aka Monoloc is a dystopic atmospheres fanatic that has dedicated his life to the dance floor from an early age. The Frankfurt-born artist's raw yet sleek take on techno and ambient has evolved to characterise his own musical style in his productions. Monoloc's sound is a mixture between techno, dub and ambient, nurturing a tone that is driving, groovy and low-slung, but with greater emotional range. He acquires most of his inspiration from old movies and likes to work mostly with field recordings in his productions.
'The Untold Way' on Dystopian is his second album, following his first in 2012, and shows a notably matured development in the artist's style. Sascha explores the distant realms between the pillars of genres, presenting a 12 track album of techno but not as we know it - left field, keeping a foot in ambient, with elements outside of the dancefloor. He brings together the concept of an album written in his own language of atmospheric patterns, melodies and fragments of words and voices. Instead of functional four to the floor tracks he explores the meaning and depths of dark, melancholic music.
The album unfolds into a 12 chapter story of his musical style with many surprises and twists along the way. 'The Untold Way' starts with the ambient 'Revive', slow and gentle yet apprehensive. As the listener moves through the album they catch glimpses of almost formed club tracks, in 'The Untold Way', 'Michigan Lights', 'Gravity Growl' and 'Alighting'. These have remnants of a dancefloor impression, a prominent beat is there, but not much more.
At other points you see Monoloc's more experimental side. 'No GHSTS' featuring Tijana T evokes a resounding beat filling an empty space, with the occasional piano melody and eerie vocal. 'Cloning Society' is beatless, driven merely by a consistent bass and echoing voice. The album is interspersed with short ambient interludes, each just a few minutes long: 'Lowa' and 'Gently Falls', serene and reflective, give the listener time to breathe. And bringing you back to familiarity are more the dancefloor focussed tracks of the LP, 'Momentum' and 'Muted'. The twelfth and last track is 'Ground Disorder', which brings the album to a halt with an air of nostalgia.
The result is a story, a history in twelve chapters that the listener is guided through like the landscapes of a gothic horror film, with a new twist on the percussion or surprising effect hidden behind every bass sound, waiting to excite and delight.

YARN Records is a new label from Jena with focus on new dubby-minimal-ambient sounds from all over the world - united under the warmth of a special feeling. The first EP A Feeling That We Share opens the YARN-cosmos with three trippy tracks from Laurel, Sugubo and Incolor. This droney piece comes handstamped in a recycled paperbag with sticker and 30 minutes of joy. It is limited to 300 copies.

Before you can remember anything you are about to say to me I will tell you it's time for a second round! Why even bother searching for questions if ANCIENT FUTURE already has the answers to them Delivered again in the form of four tracks by four different artists, this is number two! Is there a difference between eternity and nothingness ALMA & MATER trace that disparity on first track "Forever Never", and could not be more
haunting in the way they do it. Their search is fueled by raw 808 power and inducing saw-tooth synths, so you better watch for your shoes, for you could've already lost'em dancing too hard. Next track "Time Zone Adjustment" makes it all too easy for you to just keep on going, manufactured by the 106ERs, a tag team of future bois Philipp Fein & Johannes Klingebiel. As you probably will have already lost your sense of time, readjustments of your local time zone won't bother you anyway... Flip to the f-side and RHYTCH will take you to another place, although his "Lenoir" might not exactly be what they call reality. It's way too enigmatic for that, all you see is flickering lights and some weird machinery - but exciting, that's what it is! Find your way through the fog and enter the realms of "Okuruwo", reigned by the impeccable DREEMS & MAX SCHMITT. With a little help from their
friend JOHANNES KLINGEBIEL they created this world of wonder, of jungles and oceans, of plains and deserts. There is more to find in here than you could possibly search for. But you will have all the time in the world.
Played & support by Peter Kruder, Booka Shade, Larse, Ed Ed, Kiki, Andre Crom, Rainer Trueby, Vanilla Ace and many more

The Hivern split series was born as a platform for club-ready tracks that don't require a broader sonic context to express themselves. It's also as a way of generating an unplanned dialogue between artists in the label's orbit, connecting the dots amid them in spontaneous and almost unconscious ways. The third installment of the series brings together Beesmunt Soundsystem and Cooper Saver. Their two tracks share a similar approach, deconstructing ethereal sounds over dark rhythmic foundations to reach the same kind of narcotic transcendence. The visual concept of the series has been developed by London-based design studio DR.ME. Vinyl-only.

Anthony Rother makes his return to omindisc with his sophomore release

Three heavyweights are featured on the next installment of the Truncate remix series. Heiko Laux revisits the Truncate classic 'Dial' with his deep, stripped down rendition. Ray Kajioka remits his interpretation of 'Wave 1' with his deep, melodic touch. Lastly, Steve Rachmad aka Sterac delivers his touch to two remixes of the track '30' - one stripped version as Sterac alongside one electro version as Sterac Electronics. Techno tools for everyone.

2018 Konduku took everyone by surprise with his debut called Kiran. It doesn't happen all too often a new artist emerges with such a developed and distinctive sound, delivering an album as debut. Now, a year and three EPs later, Nous'klaer Audio is thrilled to present his followup: White Heron. His singular sound of odd-groove based techno has aged into a sound that's more mature yet still very playful. Konduku further refined his sound of snappy polyrhythmic blips by using a controlled sound palette focusing on the tensions in-between. Starting with the mesmerizing depth of Kenar to the stripped down halfstepper Hermitage, and from the synthetic beat patterns of Kobalt to the colorful dream fields of Belki - White Heron is an album designed to listen from start to finish, but more than anything else meant for the club

Following his last EP for the label, "Immaculata", VOITAX mainstay Makaton returns to form with his second solo EP - "Crime Wave". His meticulously crafted brand of techno spans over four dance-floor cuts, covering all the bases for the mind, body and soul.

Early support by A Made Up Sound, Aiken, Ancient Methods, Blue Hour, DVS1, Etapp Kyle, Eric Cloutier, Inigo Kennedy, James Ruskin, Mark Broom, Marcel Dettmann, P.E.A.R.L, Peder Mannerfelt, Phase Fatale, Pfirter, Psyk, Positive Centre, Rhyw, Scalameriya, Stephanie Sykes, SLAM, UVB, and Vincent Neumann

Spanish techno master Reeko makes his mark on Detroit Underground with a release exploring the darker facets of humanity in mesmerizing fashion, with rhythm and drone taking equal importance. "Lovers and Bandits" sets side A off with a brutal broken march, hard kicks building slowly into caverns of sonic noise. "BDSM" twists the sounds of pleasure and pain into an endless dark delay, leading you to the edge and right into "Hard Sex Club", roiling with indecipherable voices and a hovering synth build that teases but never quite strikes.


Side B straightens the beat with "Slaughter", a searing background noise underpinning an evolving rotation of menace that pushes the beats forward into a pit of noise and sludge. "Sex With God" is a fierce techno rhythm, wet, crunchy, and percussive without the ubiquitous kick drum, building to a crescendo of heat and buzz. Finally, "Submissive Behavior" is a massive paranoid drone, prickly with hunger and menace. On "We Are Bandits", Reeko strips down his explorations of sound and texture to the barest essences, making for an unsettling and intriguing listen. Graphic design from The Designers Republic. This is the first release in a collaboration with tDR called DU-TDR/GRD with a grid font designed for 2016 - 2017 DU releases.

Following the success of the last Parquet Most Wanted EP´s, here comes the 17th volume with four gorgeous melodic-techno anthems by SOLEE, SEVERAL DEFINITIONS, RINZEN & EVAN CASEY, HOLLT!

These tracks already received big international DJ support by Solomun, Tale of Us, Victor Ruiz, John Digweed, Fideles, Format B, Bebetta, Chicola, Moonbootica, Mees Salome, Hidden Empire and many more.

James Griffin worked in and around various London & UK record stores from 1994 to 2005. Love of the music still remained and Circa 2019 saw him reactivate his label, Vapour Trail Records with his first solo UK release - a basic Detroit but UK inspired deep techno and electro sound “Beyond Beyond” with its yearning anthemic feel caught our ears, simple and pure.

Breakage returns for the fifth release on his own label Index, the aptly titled 'India November Delta Echo X-Ray' EP.

In a very short space of time, the label has become a go-to for fans and artists alike. The high-quality threshold of the label and its output has resulted in unanimous appreciation from all those listening, most notably Annie Mac who recently tweeted "Breakage. One of the best to do it."

THEM records welcomes back Hiroaki Iizuka for the its fifth outing. Having supplied the 'The Run' as the labels first record, here Iizuka doubles its play time and track listing length in his stunning Voodoo EP. The extra time offered allows Iizuka to flex more of his versatile style. THEM as a label sets out to eschew a Techno norm largely made up of a traditional 4 x 4 sound. Having come from a London background, the curating of the label gives a nod to the rave sounds of the Capital - especially D&B, Garage, Breakbeat Hardcore and Grime. That is to say of course along with its characteristic aesthetic of Horror and The Gothic.
In Iizuka THEM found a common ground: Based in Hokkaido, Japan, Iizuka does not share the same London influences, yet shares their base values and thrust. Common themes of his sound involve broken and syncopated beats, and a rave energy. This is what lead him to being the first and prime THEM stable artist. Voodoo EP showcases this breadth of Iizuka's style, from tracks that could easily fit into any Grime set, such as Primitive Acid, to the more melodic tones of Floating Point, in which Hiroaki guides THEM into previously untrodden ground for the imprint.

Glad to have Oliver Schories back on 8bit after his label debut 'Maia' from early summer 2018. With a #2 deep house chart success on beatport this was clearly a brilliant start and we are definitely on repeat with these 2 gems.

After the success of his brutal Dazzling Grim EP, Scalameriya returns to THEM for a four track follow up of
twisted, nightmarish science-fiction influenced Techno, presented with a glorious colour full sleeve artwork by
Paul Grelet.
