For the third release label decided to spoil you with a four-track record from various artists that can trigger caustic dreams.

The 4th record of the Stackenschneider label is on its way. The release is dedicated to the club's "minimal" sphere. This time we present the works of residents and guests of our parties - Andrey Djackonda, Izm, Matpri and Sumau. The brisk A-side groove and the hypnotic B-side vibe cover the entire spectrum of our club's branded "minimal" sound.

ohne kommerziellen Wert returns with another four-tracker. Stute kicks things off with MX500, an effective tool driven by a dubby main synth and heavy drums and percussion. Next up is Strathy's groovy, euphoriant floor anthem Dance. The B-side maintains the momentum with laser-like percussion and dystopian ambience on Alhek's Humans, before Wrangel delivers the ultimate high-energy workout with Neue Power.

After collaborating with Subjected for his debut release in 2018, Andrejko now lands on the German's other acclaimed hard techno label, Vault Series, with a thrilling three track solo EP.

Andrejko is part of the Berlin new breed becoming renowned for his dark and uncompromising closing sets at the legendary Stattbad on Sunday mornings and has gone on to get bookings further afield as a result. Both as a DJ and producer, his stripped down, hyperdriven sound is perfectly abrasive yet comes with exactly the right amount of detail to make it irresistibly hypnotic and escapist.

Opener 'Eating' is bleak, futurist, Terminator techno with unrelenting drums that hit hard each and every time. Subtle rising synths add to the tension while rugged loops keep you locked to the floor. The excellent 'With' is less harsh and hard but just as perfectly distilled, with warmer rubber kicks rolling forwards at a real pace as eerie synth motifs survey a dystopian urban landscape. Closer 'Knives' shows another side again to this innovative artist as it pairs sci-fi pads with supple techno rhythms. Taking you on a trip to the outer edges of our galaxy, it has a rising sense of tension that is utterly enthralling.

Debut EP of a new Berlin based minimal house label. Vienna’s leading artists Andy Catana and Daniel Kovac are back in town to start the journey with two hypnotic dancefloor groovers. Raum Musik label owner Dorian Paic finishes the release with his uplifting remix of Some Ekko.

Vinyl only. Limited to 200 copies.

Mixed by Tobi Neumann at Apollo Studio Berlin. Early support by Boris Werner, Chad Andrew, Just_Me & Bärtaub.

Butch returns on his OTHERSIDE imprint this February alongside C.Vogt on the deep and hypnotic Parallels.

Inspired by Call Super, the EP also features two contrasting remixes from Delaphine label boss S.A.M. and the unmistakable Skudge.

Parallels opens the EP, a typically mind-bending rhythm develops with intricate layers of percussion, as a meditative and eerie melody ebbs and flows, leaving you both hooked and perplexed in equal measure. Mandar member S.A.M. turns his hand to the first remix, morphing the original into his style with dreamy, glowing synth that washes over an acid-tinged bassline. Finally, Skudge up the ante, crafting a loopy techno remix that features driving hi-hats and their trademark curious stabs that nod to the warehouse and create a smouldering atmosphere.

Dynamic wizard Butch heads up his vinyl imprint OTHERSIDE, a label he has badged as an outlet for “a soaring heart and a flying mind”. The label has steadily released mesmerising contributions so far from Marcel Janovsky and Bartaub alongside collaborations from Butch himself with Hohberg and a special partnership with minimal legend Ricardo Villalobos entitled ButRic. 2020 will see another exciting ButRic release as Butch and OTHERSIDE continue to both intrigue and amaze audiences with outstanding music and select residencies.

The S.A.M. sound has been characterised as cosmic, trippy, psychedelic and groovy. Managing three record labels: Delaphine, Dahlia and Oscillat Music, he releases his productions as well as music from artists such as Ricardo Villalobos, Mandar, Butch and Matthew Dekay. The Skudge universe has come a long way from the anonymous beginnings to world-wide recognition through Skudge Records, Skudge Presents and Skudge White labels. Starting as a duo in 2009, the project is now a solo effort and continues with high-quality outputs and live sets.

This ep is essential for any dj bag BANGER !!
