Ben Rau returns with the second release on his Inkal imprint February 15th, featuring new original tracks from the German artist.

Berlin's Ben Rau has become a prominent name in groove-laden house music over the years resident and artist with London's inimitable Fuse events and record label, as well as releases label such as JusGrooveIt and Body Parts.

This February will see Ben back on form with the second release for the label and opening th up is title track 'Work Hard', a smooth slice of driving house fuelled by snaking bass grooves,
slung bumpy percussion and vacillating vocal swells, whilst chugging acid licks and introduction of additional vocal lines gradually creep into the composition.

On the flip is 'Ouisky', another raw, stripped-back addition employing thunderous sub bass sur heavily swung percussive shuffles and an amalgamation of bright chord stabs layered into a hnodding, infectious and dynamic sequence throughout.

Ben Rau's 'Work Hard' EP is out on Inkal February 2017.

Ideal Audio presents the fourth and final instalment of Oliver Huntemann and Dubfire's seminal ELEMENTS series. These techno heavyweights have worked together on numerous projects over the years, but it is their Elements collaborations that have shone impressively as a complete body of work. AGUA is the final piece of the music puzzle and completes the series that first saw the light of day back in 2010 with the scorching FUEGO. 

2011 brought us TERRA, firm and powerful with its devastating breakdown. 2013 saw us breathe in the mystical AIRE, harnessing the elements of the previous tracks to build a fresh and magical moment. AGUA, as its name suggests, flows effortlessly, helped in no small part by the sultry vocal of Xenia Beliayeva, but kicks in equal measure. 

Signing off in such style has also lead to Ideal Audio drafting in some heavy weight talent on the remixes. Carl Craig, under his C2 moniker, dives straight in to strip the original to its core. A single drum beat, siren, clap... and then the kick. Petar Dundov twists the original's elements into a bubbling acidic stream that washes over us.  An impressive package for an impressive finale! 

I am very excited to present you the new release on Terminal M by Julian Wassermann and Florian Kruse. This 3 track ep stands out big time with its unique production, spacey techno to create a special vibe on the dancefloor! Enoyyy! (Monika Kruse)

I am excited to present the first full release from Balthazar & JackRock on Terminal M. I am playing all three tracks since a few month and always had a huge response. Also I got some goosebumbs when Adam Beyer played „Nymph“ at his set at Awakenings x Drumcode at the Gashouder. I hope you enjoy this release as much as I do! (Monika Kruse)

Alien planets come in all shapes and dimensions. We know these planets as exoplanets or extrasolar planets orbiting around the stars outside our solar system, but there are few unknown planets out there.

For the third vinyl only release Vandalism Black Series presents Red Pig Flower EP including two originals and two remixes by Cesare vs Disorder and BRYZ.

Berlin based Korean-Japanese producer, visual artist, DJ and label owner Red Pig Flower has grown to become a highly respected figure in Berlin's underground electronic music scene and further afield across the globe. Playing at some of the most respected institutions on her home turf like Tresor, Hoppetosse and Kater Blau, as well as global hotspots like Guest House in Bucharest, Romania, Nordstern in Basel, Switzerland and Dommune and Womb Club in Tokyo.

I have been releasing (Techno) music since 1992 and I still love the feeling when the promotion of a new release starts.

There is this unique energy, a special form of excitement that surrounds the promo phase. From the first time you play the tracks out to the reactions of friends and colleagues, its a memorable time that I savour and that I am looking forward to. Still.

I am fired up to present my second collaboration with Victor Ruiz. Two tracks full of passion, intensity and spirit. Now lets let the music do the talking. (Thomas Schumacher)

Rewire Records head Enzo Leep come back with a badass ep on his Label Co-ownered with Medu.

The title track: Seoul gets off to an intricate start before sparking into life with a bouncing bassline and sprightly top-line.
The liquid percussion takes the thing up a gear and, when the leads string creeps in, you'll feel like you just want to conquer the world Astral is more percussive and features a more dynamic bassline with many sparkling and shinning' synths making it energetic and tripping at the same time.

There are so many elements and layers in Birdsmakingmachine Remix of ¨Natansa¨ that make this such an infectious listen. Music just for fine listeners.

Natansa Bala Original is essentially an eight-minute loop, it's the kind of cut you could play from start to finish in the right setting. Intricate drums, a live-sounding bassline and a analogic effects combine for a perfect banger that will surely be getting rinsed for some time.

This Decemeber sees Marc Miroir release his second album entitled 'Identity Kit' on Paso Music,
featuring Elif Bicer, Adam Schilling and Hard Ton for eight immersive originals.

Berlin based artist Marc Miroir has garnered much praise over the years as a DJ, producer and label boss.
As a DJ, he has ranked highly in annual DJ polls, leading to bookings by Frankfurt's Cocoon Club and
Space Ibiza and as a producer he's featured on labels such as aras, Enough! and Bondage. All the while,
Marc Miroir has kept himself busy at the helm of his own label too, Paso Music, which he launched in 2005
with Sebrok & Jo Spallek, featuring seminal releases like David Mayer's 'Fortune', Distale's 'Freee' and
Marc Mirior's own 'Kraft'.

The bouncing 'Love Me Again' featuring Elif Bicer kick starts the album in style with sultry vocals and
dizzying synths alongside stabbing chords, getting the album off the an energetic start. Next Up, it's Adam
Schilling who features for 'Comfort Zone', a laid back number with circling synth stabs that nod to prime
time in the club, while 'Hypnotized' sees Elif Bicer make another appearance, this time her vocals blend
with spacious atmospherics to create a celestial mood.

'Tenacity' marks the half way point with a hypnotic bass line and eerie vocal triggers kept in place by driven
909 rhythms before 'Intakt' offers up a robotic sounding, techno tinted slow burner. 'Persis Dance' fills
grooving atmospheres with off-kilter chords to create a feeling of emotional suspense, then 'Integrity'
presents firing 4/4 beats submerged by dark and deep underwater textures. To conclude this lucid and
visceral album is 'Action Painting' featuring Hard Ton, which trades in aquatic sounds for a heady acidic
feel.

The latest edition of our Breaking New Soil series proves that time flies when you´re having fun: This is number 10! Once again presented by label head Gregor Tresher, and this time with two exciting contributions by the man himself, we are proud to announce a very versatile lineup: We have Hybrasil, who Gregor met at a gig in Dublin, presenting a beast of a peaktime track with - Flexo . Returning to the label is Ferdinando Apicella from Naples, better known as Kernel Key, who delivers another non-conforming techno jam that will go big with all the real Techno heads. Next up we have label favorite Fac3off - returning with not one but two amazing tracks presenting his signature sound - we´re sure we´ll be hearing a lot more from this talent in the future! The Yellowheads, hailing from Spain, had a storming EP release on BNS last year and return in very strong shape with - Caelum . Last but not least there is Antipolar from Cologne, with whom Gregor recently shared the decks at Cologne underground club - Gewoelbe - he´s new to the label and is debuting with a very unique sounding production called - Mandal . We hope you enjoy playing and listening to Breaking New Soil Volume 10 as much as we enjoyed compiling it.

I am fortunate to present the remixes of CAITLIN Freaks & Misfits by Victor Ruiz and myself on Electric Ballroom.

Freaks & Misfits is CAITLIN’s first solo release after years of producing electronic music and songs along side contemporaries like Noir, Patrice Bäumel and Thomas Schumacher.

CAITLIN and I have collaborated on the original three track EP released on WIR Musik as well as two of the remixes on this three track offering. (Thomas Schumacher)

The last shall be first one day, we will rise. We´re kicking off 2019 with our seventh record by HDSN. The rising soul brother could be expected to be on your list after some slaying records for NBAST, achieving sell outs in our entire catalogue last year. Now he´s back with lots of fantastic material to choose from starting off with a four-tracker that's striking for its undeniably catchy dancefloor-driven cuts. NBASTWAX007 is hard to categorize - you may wanna say it's deep, but honestly, this record is more than that, it´s a story telling master piece reflecting memories from captured moments in time. Show Me The Way' is our go-to track, but the others aren't sleepers. Mellow samples, 909-fueled drums and pondering vocals translating the complexity of the soul. It's the sort of EP that perfectly encapsulates all that's great about this endlessly eclectic producer, touching your mind in an emotional deep way - hard, haunting and timeless. A must-have record to properly understand the creator behind #datsoulthang. Grab your copy

Second collab is from our good friends Alessio Viggiano & Akyra with their 'Feeling' EP, four super cool house cuts
