All Vinyl New Releases - News

We celebrate 30th release of the Material X Series. Do not miss this bangers spinned in Ibiza floors. HOT!

An array of killer electro styles make up the second release in the Eel Behaviour series. Featuring the legendary Cisco Ferreira aka The Advent (alongside his son Zein) with Replicants, Umwelt and Galaxian also in tow.

More than a great Release!

After the huge success of the first release, Cinthie and The Willers Brothers team up for the second one with some pure dancefloor cuts ranging between dubby techno, house and groovy minimal house.

Mu¨stesna is an Istanbul based independent record label founded in 2018 with an aim to reveal and re-evaluate the underrated sounds which was either forgotten, or not yet discovered.

Their first release comes with a selection of tracks recorded between 1995-2006 by Etnik Sentetik, the infamous electro synth-pop band from Istanbul. This 8 track LP offers a dark journey of uncanny sounds, fostered by 90's influenced raw electro-acid beats and eerie vocals.

fine-particle techno, deep and hypnotic (including Svarog rework)

The latest work from Ulwhednar (Abdulla Rashim & Varg) scans the club for afflicted movers with variations of overcast fervour. It's cavernous anguish seen with dilated pupils, marking a mood that's as hostile to hedonism as it is holding you to its tactics.

Cosmic Force returns to Something Happening Somewhere for an all-out ghetto affair in collaboration with the mighty Dexter. Four relentless and unpretentious dance floor cuts with a high energy high fun(k) factor. It's as high of a dose of the magical alchemy between man and derailing machines as you can find. Every second of this record feels like entering an unknown dangerous zone, blink once and someone could sweep out the motherboard beneath you and turn everything inside out. A robot's brain disintegrating while you're still plugged inside racing through it as everything slowly falls apart, without the safety programs to protect you. The great digital escape part II.

Drum Techniek is like taking a LCD drumbeat mixed in a blender with some vitalising capacitor hallucinogens. If the undeniable groove of the first one and a half minute isn't enough, a jaw shattering bass line creates even more bad ass vigour. Geheugen Meuk's unstoppable energy train is fuelled by a hypnotising stomping bass line that is intersected by warbled dystopian chords. Lost in the transistor mind, the memory chip slowly starts emitting smoke and shape shifts beyond the point of recognition. Leaving the gates open for uncontrollable off script imagination to reign.

Sloppenwijkkont takes the same approach as Geheugen Meuk but adds a more defined West Coast flavour. Baslijn In Opstand does exactly what it says on the can, like the electronic music interface decided to stop obeying and took over the controls to produce the music it favours. All this music is not for the faint hearted but will prove an incredible addition to anyones dance floor arsenal for those moments which need some extra psycholetric firepower.

ABOUT THE 'LIBRARY TOOL KIT' SERIES

ABOUT THIS RECORD

EKOPLEKZ contributes to the Library Tool Kit series with 12 unique transmissions, live and direct from his radiochronic workshop.

World famous club DJ, radio presenter and musician Graeme Park curates this special release celebrating the heady days of house returning to the Hacienda's heyday with a selection of the finest mixes that helped launch the legend thirty years ago. Featuring tracks from JM Silk, Chip E, Fast Eddie, The Beat Club and many more Long live house!

Skin Town's unexpected return with their new album 'Country' finds the duo upping the already high bar set on their striking dark pop gem debut 'The Room' with a dauntless artistic statement that trades clever posturing for vulnerability. Yielding their prowess with more restraint, Skin Town's 'Country' hits harder and cuts deeper - doubling down on their narcotic cocktail of strong R&B hooks, spacious bewitching productions, and marked sense of melody that puts vocalist Grace Hall and multi-instrumentalist Nick Turco in a class of their own.

Many saw that potential on their debut with support from Dazed, Interview, The FADER, KCRW, as well as artists like Tinashe shouting out Skin Town. Lamenting on the duo's unmistakable chemistry, Pitchfork says, "Turco's synthscapes are huge and scene-stealing, while Hall's husky voice strikes a glorious medium between Abel Tesfaye and Sade." Their latest is even more potent, a particular strain of sad dance music that feels timeless and raw.

'Country' refines Skin Town's minimal framework of tethering hip-hop/R&B rhythms to Hall's smoky, precise phrasing exploring richer atmospheres and darker concerns. Written and recorded over 3 years, the album touches upon depression, loss, hedonism, poverty, rebellion, sex work, empowerment, and love's contradictions. The album's completion was sidetracked many times with Hall suffering a string of life-threatening mysterious immune system ailments, as a result there is a lot of pain and joy in this record, made with literal blood and tears.

The opener "Bad" signals at this departure from their upbeat predecessor stripping away the beats, relying on the interplay between Turco's ringing chords, the enveloping synthwork and Hall's melancholic, rhythmic intonations. "Mute" brings back the drums, couched in a slinking hip-hop beat and a creeping synth lead. Throughout the record, Turco's productions glean from an eclectic, disparate mix: melodic Amiga tracker music, Metro Boomin', New Age, The-Dream while Hall seems ever more comfortable exploring syncopation and half-rap/half-sung excursions. This is inventive, uncanny pop music where Enya, Offset, Zola Jesus, and Future inhabit the same space.

Skin Town's unerwartete Rückkehr mit ihrem neuen Album "Country' hebt die sowieso schon recht hohe Messlatte ihres markanten Dark-Pop-Juwelen-Debüts "The Room' noch ein wenig höher. Skin Town's - Country" schlägt härter zu und schneidet tiefer - und verdoppelt ihren narkotischen Cocktail aus starken R&B-Hooks, einer großzügigen, betörenden Produktion und einem ausgeprägten Sinn für Melodie. Das ist erfinderische, unheimliche Popmusik, bei der Enya, Offset, Zola Jesus und Future im selben Raum leben.

Viele sahen dieses Potenzial bei ihrem Debüt und so gab es reichlich support von Dazed, Interview, The FADER, KCRW sowie Künstlern wie Tinashe. Pitchfork hob die unverwechselbare Chemie des Duos vor und sagte: "Turcos Synth-Landschaften sind riesig und szenenraubend, während Halls heisere Stimme eine Klasse für sich ist, angesiedelt zwischen Abel Tesfaye und Sade.'

Country' verfeinert den minimalen Rahmen von Skin Town, Hip-Hop/R&B-Rhythmen mit Hall's rauchigen, präzisen Vocals, die weitere Atmosphären und dunklere Anliegen erforschen. Das Album behandelt verschiedenste Felder von Depressionen, Verlust, Hedonismus, Armut, Rebellion, Sexarbeit, Empowerment bis zu den Widersprüchen der Liebe. Die Fertigstellung des Albums wurde mehrmals aufgeschoben, wobei Hall eine Reihe von lebensbedrohlichen, mysteriösen Immunsystem-Krankheiten erlitt, was dazu führte, dass viel Schmerz und Freude auf dieser Platte zu finden sind, die sprichwörtlich mit Blut und Tränen gemacht wurde.

For its debut vinyl, De La Groove has gathered 8 tracks to build a genuine Various Artist EP. It is willingly offering an aesthetic and eclectic overview of modern House producing.

Opening on a groove cruising track brought by Jeff Tuts, you can feel the western coast vibes grooving upon a cosmic vocal. Second track by Bellaire goes right into you, blurring lines between a very jazzy sax gimmick and a ghetto-alike vocal, a House track that might well bring up a complete dancefloor together. Third comes Knuckle G with a loud track, swinging over a heavy bassline with Rhodes tricks on top, a very dynamic track that can easily turn into a dancefloor weapon. Forth and last of the A-side, Too Many Cars signed a solid 90's house beat, carried on by a relentless drum covering a swarming pad.

B-side opens on a soulful house track blooming in harmonies, at the crossroad of jazz and discoid genre, courtesy of Le Hutin. Chinau delivers the second track, a smooth ballad dubbed with a pregnant moogish bassline sprinkled with rare piano play coating a wide string pad. For the third track, B.K Mik drops a soulful garage-house ambience, with a forceful half-broken beat thriving over a vocal jazzy background. Closing the B-side, Vanderkraft lift us over new horizons with ethnic percussions along an Indian vocal sample and a funky guitar riff, a refreshing final track.

After spending a year on the road, experimenting with new sounds and production methods, Abstract Division returns to their home imprint with the release of the 'Activated EP.' Fashioned true to their well known unique balanced style, this three track EP presents its listener with a powerful blend of deep tools and peak-time grooves. A real must-have for every selector, these tracks will cary any dance-floor deep in to the night, and far beyond.

Swiss-based, Jamaican producer Ezikiel returns to Cadenza for his another outing, this time dropping the 'Tales Of Roots' EP. With this new EP he demonstrates his flair for the musical side of club compositions, imbibing his productions with sultry atmospherics, deep emotion and organic keys and strings. The title track 'Tales of Roots' is a 15-minute opus, which unravels slowly but surely, working from a soft yet persistent bassline and a hypnotic rhythm. Samples of tribal singers add a distinct human element, entrancing you with their organic vibrations. As the voices continue to sing out you're transported to a vibrant sub- Saharan landscape, captivated by the irresistible guitar riff... On the flip we have 'Makha Poetry', a more experimental workout with a variety of warped and twisted effects spluttering and wobbling away at its foundation. The jaunty yet slightly eerie low end gives this track a naughty allure, as those strange bleeps and whirrs continue to bounce in and out of the background. There's a controlled restraint about 'Makha Poetry' which gives it a devastating simplicity and a very unique aesthetic.

Up next on Arcing Seas is Magna Pia with his second EP after his 2016 debut 'Incantations' on Coun-terchange. Behind the alias is Hüseyin Evirgen, one half of Cassegrain. ARCS-05 has a clear focus of providing combative dance floor trips, unorthodox sonic moods with subtle 90s techno references. The EP's track titles 'Artemisia", 'Semiramis' and 'Akasha' pay tribute to three mighty ancient heroines of very different origins. Consequently, Magna Pia continues his in-terest in combining techno tracks with archaic symbolism.

Nicz Records puts out it's 5th release.

Two amazing parts of Unified Fields from Berlin-based d_func plus a fabulous Edit Select remix.

Italian duo Jamahr which previously successfully released tunes on labels such as Kina Music, Earlydub, Monday Morning and others, will soon be releasing a debut release on Berlin-based vinyl only Sleepless Musik record label. The release features three original tunes and a class remix from heavyweights, Cab Drivers.

A1. Blue Sun
The vibe for this track is very housey, giving a slightly nostalgic feeling to those who have been collecting music since the 90's. The synth layer throughout this well executed track compliments the vocal shots that come in and out, and match the stabs and percussion perfectly. The use of breaks in this opening track are sure to encourage whistling and praise from the dance floor.

A2. Blue Sun (Cab Drivers Remix)
The Cabbies have built up a solid career for over 2 decades, which includes a strong string of releases on their label Cabinet which launched in 1994. The remix they have put together for this release keeps the same nostalgic vibe as the original, but with a slightly different mood. The sounds from their Roland 303 travel through their interpretation of the track and the hats are slightly skipper. This is sure to get lots of love from ravers and connoisseurs too.

B1. Romanti
Romanti is more of a mellow number, but still comes through strong on the release, using acid sounds which compliment those used by the Cab Drivers in the remix. A heavily effected vocal rises through the breakdown before entering into the main body of the track again which includes some really nice atmospheric synth sounds that sound like they are possibly playing in reverse.

B2. After Touch
Probably the hardest hitting track on the release, After Touch (much like the previous tracks) perfectly demonstrates the duo's ability to produce well rounded tracks. The layer of white noise and reverb on the build up in the main break down makes the drop all the more sweeter.

Two great DJ tools from prolific Detroit artists Kyle Hall & Kero.

Monsieur KAPOTE comes back with another deep funk house EP on Toy Tonics. Slap Bass, Wurlitzer Jazz Pianos, Old school house drum machines, nasty talks. This new three- tracker continues the vibe of his last single The Nose (that went no.1 on Traxsource and Juno and is still getting hammered by DJ's from all kind of scenes). This is slow grooving dance music. Nothing is stressy here. Jazz funk inspired mid- tempo house with live played bass, keyboards and lot of warm harmonies. Played with a high musical level. Pure quality. In fact Kapote used to play keyboards and bass in Jazz bands before getting absorbed by dance music culture. He is a big fan of late 60ies Hard Bob Jazz as well as 1970ies Jazz Funk and Disco. You can feel these vibes in all of his tracks. Besides producing his own music Kapote also is running Toy Tonics records with his buddies Manuel Kim and Munk.

Redimension is the label project of Joseph Capriati and is run as a platform to champion music that showcases the more underground side of his taste in techno. Along with tracks from the label boss himself, it's also featured contributions from Adam Beyer, Anthony Parasole, Flavio Folco and Rino Cerrone.

Now on its sixth release, the labels latest EP is from Klaudia Gawlas, a leading lady in the world of techno who plays DJ gigs all over Europe and other parts of the world. Her skills behind the decks and crowd reading abilities are second to none, and those honed skills have translated into the explosive tracks she produces.

Working with a great number of highly respected record labels she has consistently proven herself to be a skilled producer, and she delivers the goods once again with a stunning four track EP of dark and thundering techno.

The Siren' opens the show with crunching percussion and acid pulses that grow with ominous tension, whilst the dance floor focused framework of the mechanical groove ensures maximum impact. Fast and ferocious, this hard- itting cut takes no prisoners with a menacing sound.

Keeping the same tough vibe, Lightnings' is second on the EP with fast flowing hi-hats, clap rhythms, and hypnotic synth work. The eerie atmosphere present in this immersive cut of ground shuddering techno adds to its overall exhilaration of the track's aggressive style.

Track three Niet' focuses in on a sensual vocal layered over a tough percussive groove, which combine to create a captivating eloquence both unnerving and alluring. Distinctive and full of personality, there is no doubt that for many DJ's this will be the main attraction of the EP.

Closing proceedings is The Whirl' that uses an arpeggiated lead synth to create an uplifting mood to this otherwise sinister cut. Unrelenting in its onslaught, the invigorating strength of the tracks up-tempo and energetic momentum is like a
tsunami of sound.

Kassem Mosse & Lowtec produces electrified, intergalactic Jazz infected, raw & direct House trips.

Depth Structure I is the sound of voices that speak from deep beneath the undertow, clearer than reason, twice as loud, and just as never-ending. It suggests the light and beckons us to it, all while swallowing us like darkness. Gradually, with repeated trips down the path, we have internalized the map. It has become part of us. We know the way. On the Earth and in the Mind.

The common ground travelled is perceptible in the music created for this release. Reggy Van Oers reaches dizzying heights as Encircling Persistence shows itself as the sound of a bird of prey descending and ascending upon it´s victim, gliding before our eyes, buzzing in our minds. Pvnv deploys a driving rhythm, accentuated by creaking resonance and allowing a twinkling pattern to rise from it, that gives a sense of urgency to the track, like fireflies at high speed, with Antic Hands. Repart defines a Paradigm in the journey by imposing a bubbling bass pattern that feels like it´s pushing and pulling at the beat, and raising the tension with creeping rattling pattern and a propulsive, rhythmic phrasing of the synth line. Massa himself seems to channel the Earth´s pulse on Terra, as the steady rhythm is graced by crystalline and glistening pads that feel like a fresh trickling current in the humid, lush forest ground.

Since the release of their album Wonderland a couple of years ago, Demdike Stare have been recording material for this new doublepack Passion; an asymmetric re-imagining of UK club styles taking in frenzied drum trax, shortwave jungle, pinging dancehall and clipped, post punk riddims. During this time they've been busy curating their DDS label (inc releases from Shinichi Atobe, Mica Levi, Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe and Equiknoxx, among others) and have been commissioned by both the Groupe de Recherches Musicales (GRM) and the surviving members of Gruppo di Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza to mine and rework their archives. Enlisting visual artist Michael England (Autechre, Gescom, Leila), they've created a cinematic accompaniment for their collaborative live shows, resulting in the image which adorns this cover - a hybrid/composite portrait exploring/questioning the current use of software in creating hyper reality and the manipulation of the self. The accompanying film Includes documentary footage filmed at a Voguing event in NYC, Blackpool promenade and a Newark, New Jersey roller rink, the end result smudgng the lines between live performance, documentary and sonic cinema. It's an idea that's echoed on Passion, continuing a process Demdike began on their Testpressing series of dismantling lines between analogue and digital realms, between urban realism and fantasy, between experimental, pop and soundsystem cultures. An outlandish configuration of avant-garde and ultimately functional club weapons designed and honed for the weightiest bassbins, it's also their most direct and fucked up record to date - a raucous, joyful 9-track smash that comes off like a night on a glamorous, neon-lit bender.

I'm more than excited to start my new label GTO with these tracks as they represent a sound aesthetic that I'm excited about and I would simply describe as: Techno. No limits.'

Gregor Tresher wraps up another remarkable year in the techno fast lane with a brand new label: GTO.

It stands for Gregor Tresher Originals and the emphasis is on the word 'original' as he continues to carve his own unique furrow in a brand new way. Investing everything he's achieved and explored across some of the greatest labels in techno from Drumcode to Cocoon, Music Man to Ovum, Moon Harbour to Bedrock, plus 60 releases on his own Break New Soil imprint, it's time to freshen things up once again. It's time to get acquainted with GTO... And it starts with another superb collaboration with long time friend and collaborator Petar Dundov.

'Stellarius' and 'Anthropogenic' show Gregor and Petar at their most energetic, forward-thinking and enthused. The former is a pacey drive into the unknown with layered synths weaving in and out of perspective to hypnotic effect while the latter shows a darker side to the duo as harmonic bass textures rumble with a rich loin-girding sinister feel and a carnal funk that springs off the off-beat hi-hats. Gregor explains the inspiration behind both compositions...

'Stellarius to me, is the biggest and most powerful track to emerge from our recent studio sessions. From the day we made it, I knew I wanted to save it for something very special. Well, I guess the occasion is here.'

'Anthropogenic' causes mayhem everywhere I play it. I would say it's inspired by the music of so many young and fresh producers making their way to the big stages now with a sound that hints a time when producing techno wasn't about functionality but more about a certain vibe of creating something new and exciting.'

New, exciting, inspired by the next generation: when Gregor says No Limits, he means it. Watch out for more exciting GTO releases very very soon...

Jamaican superstar Popcaan returns with his long awaited sophomore album, Forever. Popcaan's journey has taken him from a promising young star to the leader of a generation of Jamaican and diaspora artists, a generation that feels their influence reverberate in pop's continuing interest in the sonic signifiers of dancehall. Forever finds Popcaan grappling with his role as an icon

It's common knowledge by now that the name Stephan Hinz is synonymous with cutting-edge, big room anthems and his latest output, the 'Juncture EP' continues to attest to the consistency of his prowess. Hinz' kicks off with the self-titled 'Juncture' as massive low end, crisp hats and burly percussion lay the ground work for a delicate and hypnotizing lead forging an impeccable balance between two opposing themes. Changing themes but sticking to his trademark approach 'Panopticon' lets the drums do the work. What can almost be considered a tool stands alone as heaving bursts of sonic gold explode through the percussive barrage creating an incredibly versatile tune suited for any occasion. Hinz wraps things up with the beautiful and impassioned 'Illusion' where simple but highly effective drum programming carries flawlessly restrained harmonies resulting in a lavish trek into the emotionally charged club moments.

SPONSOR NEEDED!!!! a fresh new transmission from our favourite French duo.
