Esteemed Techno masters Pig&Dan return with their highly anticipated fourth album, 'Modular Baptism', via their own label ELEVATE.

In contrast to 2014's album 'Destination Unknown' in which they experimented with more ambient sounds, to great success (topping the Beatport chart from more than 4 months) 'Modular Baptism' sees the duo make a triumphant return to the techno world.

It's all about returning to our modular roots and is all about dance floor music, say the Spanish-based duo. We wanted to grab some oldschoolness and add that modern touch sound wise. We've put everything into this one and haven't held back.

Highlights of the 14-track album include the sleek opener 'Now Or Never,' the hazy but mesmerising 'Vangelism' and the title track 'Modular Baptism', which impresses with its layered synths, industrial chords and fierce, resonating kick drum. 'The Saint (Job San)' - a personal favourite of the duo's offers a more euphoric, house-energy, whilst tracks like 'Mexico' and 'Let Go' take the album into darker techno territories and 'Funk Of The Moog' is an example of the album's grittier side, perfect for the underground.

The talented duo (Igor Tchkotoua and Dan Duncan) have been producing music together as Pig&Dan for over 10 years. Before a chance meeting on a plane, Dan had already spent 10 years as a Drum&Bass DJ/Producer and Igor was already making a name for himself in House and Techno scene. When we connected in the studio that synergy and crossover of styles just seemed to gel right away,' remembers Dan. It just really worked. And as we were both living in Mallorca with no real influences of trends or other scenes we were able to just make the music we wanted to make - Techno with D&B influences.' 

They've gone on to release three acclaimed albums plus remix and collaborate with some of the industry's biggest names including Underworld, DEADMAU5, John Digweed and Innercity for their classic 'Goodlife'. They've also performed at some of the world's most prestigious festivals and venues including Ultra, Tomorrowland, Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE), Amnesia Ibiza, Crobar Buenos Aires and Womb Tokyo plus release music on iconic labels such as Sven Väth's Cocoon, Slam's Soma, John Digweed's Bedrock, Monika Kruse's Terminal M and Richie Hawtin's Plus 8.

Another notable career landmark came, three years ago, when the duo launched their very own label, ELEVATE, to support and celebrate like-minded artists and to help nurture new talent. ELEVATE is all about music we want to play,' say the duo. We believe we have a unique sound and the label mirrors that in a diverse way. All the music we release is music that really gets under our skin. We are all about a nonlinear sound and adore what we release because there's a lot of monotonous tracks out there on the scene and we're trying to combat that.' And it seems to be working, as the success of the label in the last year alone boasts compelling releases from the likes of Monika Kruse, Julian Jeweil, Alberto Ruiz, Ron Costa and Matador plus a whole host of newcomers.

Since making his debut in 2008, Bulgarian talent Valeri Ivanov, aka Timmo, has swiftly become a name of note within the current techno landscape following with a string of releases via some of the biggest labels in the scene, from Adam Beyer’s Drumcode and of course Monika Kruse’s Terminal M imprint. Having emerged as a core figure for the label following his collaboration ‘Violet’ with Kruse back in May, and leading straight on from his ‘Starlight’ EP which featured three tracks from the extensive body of work in early June, the imprint will now welcome the arrival of his eleven-track LP ‘Starlight’, featuring a combination of club-focused tracks alongside more emotive soundscapes. “’Starlight’ is my debut album, and I’m very happy it’s going to be out on Monika Kruse’s Terminal M. It took me more than a year to finish and create it as an experience, the way I felt it should be. Starting with more melodic tracks, going through more energetic and electric ones and finishing off with some acid. All 11 songs have been recorded in my home studio in Sofia, using a variety of synths and modules, some dating back to the early 80s like the Roland Juno 60, and some being brand new or improved versions of classic synthesizers such as the Sequential Prophet 6.” - Timmo Opening via the ominous ‘Leaving Earth’ and flowing straight into the action via the acid laced ‘New Beginning’, the eleven- track project swiftly takes its form as a balance of driving, uncompromising productions accented by subtle interludes and moments of space. Take for example the bubbling ‘Solar’ and the warping ‘Belle Epoque’, which keep the focus on oscillating synths and regimented percussion, whilst title cut ‘Starlight’ takes control and ups the energy via soaring lead synths and frenzied electrics. Next up, ‘Sonic Voyage’ reveals yet another twisting journey as Timmo merges ever-evolving leads with restrained vocal snippets, whilst ‘Vortex’ and ‘Spacefreaks’ add further energy via a medley of hefty kicks and menacing bass patterns throughout. Entering into the final three cuts, ‘Rhythm X’ brings forth further infectious 303-lines, tripped out vocal hooks and slick hats to head further into the peak time, whilst the darker ‘Connect’ throws its hat into the mix via a combination of commanding female vocals and choppy bass licks, before arriving at closing track ‘Interspace’ which lowers the tempo and switches the emphasis towards bright synth melodies and calming breaks featuring rich soundscapes to punctuate the project in emphatic fashion. Channeling main room sonics whilst intertwining rich melodies and softer tones throughout, ‘Starlight’ sees the unveiling of Timmo’s most complete body of work as he continues his ascent as one of his genres leading talents via the ever-impressing Terminal M.

Following on from the well-received debut EP from Gessture, Enclave Records reaches its fifth release and rounds off the year in style with a four-tracker from Spanish maestro Alejandro Rodríguez, aka Kresy.

Clocking up appearances on such notable imprints as Hivern Discs, Freerange and Let's Play House sub-label, Room Service, Kresy is an artist with an innate understanding of the relationship between melody and groove - but that's unsurprising when you're talking about someone who regularly appears at the likes of Sonar, Panorama bar, and Trouw.

Across the four tracks, we're treated to an impressively diverse yet coherent range of sounds from an artist clearly on top of their game. Melding dreamy pads and twinkling keys to fizzing percussion and rock-solid bottom end, Kresy's dubbed-out sound manages to feel simultaneously minimalist and expansive and the tracks turned in here happily reward both home listening and club rotation.

Special mention must be given to the lead cut on the EP, Think of You, which features the mercurial talents of Detroit native Javonntte. Having burst on to the scene in the late 90's before dropping off the radar almost as suddenly, the second coming of Javonntte - a man who's toured with Arethra Franklin and featured on tracks with Andrés - has been a joy to behold.

Early support from the likes of Laurent Garnier, Nick Höppner, Steve Bug, Dixon, Sebo K and Gerd.

REVOLT KOLLEKTIVE V-ONE is the start of a new series on REVOLT which will bring forth different faces from the label in one substantial release. For the first one we have decided to feature 4 artists that headlined our REVOLT label night in Malta at the Old Military Prison.

For the second installment on his new Extrasketch imprint, Andrew Rasse aka Butane returns to deliver the scintillating 'Sketch Factor', with the four track EP set to drop in mid-October. Following the launch of Extrasketch this July and the closure of Alphahouse earlier in the year, October is set to welcome the second EP in a series of Butane-only productions as the San Francisco based producer continues to dive deep into what he describes as his own exploration about what House and Techno should look, feel and sound like. With EX01 supported by the likes of Danny Tenaglia, Adam Beyer, Truncate, Magda, Dj Sneak, Alexi Delano and Ryan Crosson among others, Rasse's new creative outlet is set to become a quick favourite of many and a sure thing for underground quality and consistency. First up is 'Don't Stop', a stripped back, eclectic affair in which Rasse effortlessly introduces intricate organic percussion amongst bumping sub tones and murky background drones, whilst the sizzling lead synth keeps the track locked in a techno-hypnosis. Cavernous kicks reinforce shimmering hats and a snaking, meandering electro-tinged lead in the driving and dynamic 'Minimum Wage' to conclude the A-Side in fine fashion. Fans of Rasse's work will immediately be drawn to B1 'Go', as trademark Butane drum licks merge with infectious vocal shots to reveal a production born from hazy after-hour dancefloors. 'Ultramax' wraps up the EP with a quirky off-kilter feel as skippy drums work in a free flowing pattern amongst eerie vocal snippets, high pitched bleeps and subtle sonics, creating a hypnotic workout that ensures listeners slowly spiral amongst the productions methodical madness.

It's a huge pleasure for Nick Curly and Gorge to welcome Oliver Schories on their label with his debut release for 8bit. Oliver is well known for his great output on his very own imprint SOSO and gained much respect with his Nubreed album on Global Underground end of 2017. Thanks to Jansons for such a fabulous remix he added to the release.

A-SIDE
Soaked in its sunset nostalgia by the Mamaian waterfronts, the EPs A-side 'About space and future' relocates us onto the ever-moving engine of curious kicks and rhythmic indulgence that is Costin Rp. A deep sense of groove, brings us along on his narrow excursion to the ethereal - and otherworldly.


B-SIDE
With a more esoteric voice, the B-side brings 'Phil Ther'. A dreamy mechanism built around its tense releases of glimmering echoes and reverberations. As it serves genuine moments of sadness, optimism, fear and peace; the austere and raw emotions end in its kaleidoscopic manner - that is 'About space and future (Tour)’.

Sonet Music sets out with the goal of putting forward captivating music from the deeper end of the electronic music spectrum.

For This Viny Only label initial release Romanian Catalin Postelnicu aka Gruia takes us on a journey to a dystopic sonic plane.

The three tracks featured on Some Kind of Heaven gather energy, depth and detail in a distinct collection you're certain to revisit time and again.

After its first three releases, July Z imprint presents its fourth release

Moon Harbour is delighted to announce the Autumn 2016 release of Momentum, the second full length album
from label boss Matthias Tanzmann. Arriving eight years after his debut LP Restless, the outstanding follow-up
impressively demonstrates that his artistic restlessness has not been decreasing over the last couple of years.
On the contrary, Momentum undoubtedly proves once more that Matthias' impact on the scene is still steadily
growing with an end not in sight and that his efforts to advance are ever moving forward.
Recent times have found Matthias having huge success via fruitful collaborations with the likes of Martin
Buttrich, Davide Squillace and Daniel Stefanik, amongst others, but now back on his own and more energetic
than ever, he is firing on all cylinders as a solo artist. Loosely rooted in a variety of house styles, Momentum
shows a subtle return to some of Tanzmann's earliest musical roots. Just as Matthias declares himself, It is stuff
to listen to at home, stuff I like to listen to away from the club', before adding that, of course, it also contains
tracks that are 100% what I love playing in my DJ sets.'
The ten track release is an impulsive and emotionally moving affair that offers a fantastic snapshot into the
current musical mind of the artist. With a process initially starting during his times abroad in Thailand and South
America, this most coherent and complete album has been slowly coming together over the last five years. In
customary manner, the album is quite different to a normal EP from the German producer, given that it features
plenty of deeper and more cerebral moments than most of his past works.
With a perfect mixture between listening pleasure and pure dancefloor material, Momentum contains tracks
ranging from deep and broody house style with warm pads streaming over infectious drums to serene and
atmospheric jams with real funk in their bones. Next to more downtempo sultry house vibes, the harder, more
freaky tunes will get floors bumping with their punchy drums, wiggling synths, drilling bass and loopy vocal
sounds. With more soul infused party grooves rounding up the experience, the release truly brings along the
whole range of carefully plotted ups and downs necessary for casting the listener under a hypnotic and heartfelt
spell of house music.

The album will be celebrated with a worldwide release tour from October to December 2016, highlighting once
more that only a few have the exact same sense of electronic music artistry as this man does.

Krad with his third album brings us two original tracks of Hernan Bass, composed under catchy rhythms that go from the microhouse to the minimal deep tech, also using female voices from Italy in one of the tracks or deep sounds in the other:
But the album does not end here, two strong remixes appear, one by Manuel de Lorenzi, which adapted its version to a stronger groove for the dancefloor, whereas Basti Grub made its version more delicate and refined, which can even be adapted to the dance floor pretty good.

MOTHER RECORDINGS welcome SIMION for a new tidy two track EP entitled XTC. This artist has really made a big impression over the last couple of years with releases on labels like Snatch!, Suara, Hedonism, and now he impresses on Mother.

The title track XTC goes first and is six minutes of face melting house with nice gloopy and reversed synth lines tugging you in weird directions. The drums are fresh and the perc sprinkled over the top helps drive things along as vocals pop out of the mix.

Then comes HAUS, a tougher house tune with wooden drum sounds, freaky vocals that are expertly treated and loopy sub bass that really pulls you in. Add some fire vocals that really set things off and you have a sure fire winner.

German DJ and producer ROBOSONIC is back with another of their party starting EPs, this time on MOTHER RECORDINGS. It comes after years of serving up sizzling tunes on labels like DFTD, Kittball and OFF Recordings and across two sweet tunes they really cook up a sonic storm.

PEACH (Original Mix) is first and is a juicy house tune with lovely warm, groovy chords - written together with Jan Weigel. It's a colourful cut with real soul and squelchy bass and is the sort to get the floor filled right up.

ICKE UND SIE (Original Mix) on the flip is another feel good tune, with well swung drums, skipping kicks and well treated vocals that bring a vibe feel. More great chords flesh things out and this is a timeless jam to close out an essential two tracker.

Acmé means "the highest peak or state" and definitely in this release you can't get any higher.

We haven't heard from Acmé since March 2018 with the highly successful Acmé 006 inc. LIZZ, Vincentlulian and Alex Font.
This period was a year and a half of deep silence but without doubt they are coming stronger, fuller and with more diversity.

Here you can find four top notch remixes from highly respected producers and scene leaders who stamped their sound signature into the Acmé universe, also a bonus track from Acmé CEO Alex Font that has already been supported and played by minimalist maestros like Ricardo Villalobos and Rhadoo.

This is a very limited and only vinyl release, be fast to grab yours!
