Classy and unambiguous EBM inspired Techno from Empfänger with a BIG remix from AN-I (Lee Douglas) hot on the heels of his Cititrax 12".

With a lengthy discography on influential imprints like his own Sub Static, Triebstoff, Dumb Unit, Contexterrior, and more, Falko Brocksieper has been a force in the development in deep, minimal sounds for a decade and a half. Working alongside label co-head M.I.A., Sub Static and sublabel Karloff released music from prestigious producers - René Breitbarth, Mathew Jonson, Pan/Tone, DJ Slip, Shonky, and themselves - from 2001-2010 and established the lasting reputation of Falko while identifying their label as a source of quality dancefloor ideas for its decade-long run.

If things have been quieter for him since 2011, he has remained active in his Berlin base, and for the 9th release on Caduceus Records we proudly offer a pair of originals from the respected German producer with remixes from Petar Dundov and Ladislav.

Following on its evocative, mysterious title, 'Ocean Machine' explores aquatic dub atmospheres and clear melodic elements as it slowly accelerates to cruising speed and remains there for the duration exploring these depths. While remaining invested in dubby melody, 'Loom' is a tougher techno track driven by a powerful, growling bassline and gritty drum programs that exchange energy with the keyboard parts while slowly gaining momentum.

Known for his deeply textured sound, Dundov transforms 'Ocean Machine' into an epic that rides to high drama on suspended pads, rolling, pulsating bass, and understated but hard-hitting percussion.

Adding vocal samples and more dramatic drum changes to 'Loom', Ladislav keeps drive intact but builds on the atmospherics to create rousing peak-time techno. A digital bonus is Falko's heavily ambient 'Give up the Ghost', a submerged journey where static, synthesizer zaps, and incomprehensible vocals build to a subtle climax before slowly fading away.

Sheffield's techno spearhead Lo Shea returns for his second release in 2015, served with a Zenker Brothers remix out on DEXT Recordings.

Lo Shea is certainly not work-shy. Founding the vinyl only label Seaghdha, and launching the 100 Years label (to commemorate the steelworks industry that Sheffield was born upon), Lo Shea's catalogue documents an impressive 14 releases in just three years.

Running his own warehouse night and label Hope Works, Lo Shea has shared the stage with the likes of Motor City Drum Ensemble, Theo Parrish, Ben Klock and Kyle Hall to boot.

DEXT Recordings now welcome Lo Shea for their fourth instalment. Initiating the proceedings with the infectious shuffle of 'Durga', the tonne soon turns sinister as the rupturing drones of 'Sweatbox' shadow over synthetic toms and erratic percussion.

Famed German duo Zenker Brothers then flip the script on remix duty, with a snappier and more crystalline rendition of 'Durga'. After teasing the music community with a snippet of closing track 'Anzu' on his RA live mix last year, a flurry of excitement has certainly been built around its demonic bassline and shuffling chaos.

Unlucky 013 Ha! This one's a pearler. Multi talented producer Red Rack'em climbs up the fertile n s y d e spirit tree for this glowing summer release in the form of the 'Nothing Without You' EP. A mutation from the same skunky-soul strain of n s y d e 005 by Skymark / Lady Blacktronika. The title cut is a result of a Red Rack'em tour through the south pacific, connecting with Inkswell and fam. What was meant to be a Rack'em / Inkswell track instead ended up with Australian vocalist, now Berlin diamond in the rough: Misumami liberally sprinkling her magic throughout. With a proposed subject matter based around missing loved ones while apart, Misumami weaves an enchanting story of longing, and matters of the heart, through signature sleek, clever, floor ready Rack'em production. Flip for 'Love Beat' and here we get Red Rack'em- the Funky Technician fanboy, dusty fingered Native Tongue devotee, and closet Jazz dancer. The loose, bumping drum programming and sculpted, cubist jazz sampling (inna heavy Mandalorian funk fashion) weld this nocturnal seduction dance together. This is a late night groover, an eyes closed on the dance floor vibration. Both sides are modern, vital, considered House music, where the problems of the world dissolve in a heads down- vibes up situation. Mastered by Pole at Scapemastering so you know it's gonna bang...

For their third Delicacies 12" this year, SMD take a deeper, more spaced out approach, in contrast to the strict techno of the previous two releases. "Far Away From A Distance" features hypnotic synth washes that glide slowly in and out of time with the track's rhythmic bed, stumbling over each other in a 5am haze. "Flying Or Falling" pushes into classic SMD melodies, mournful Detroit indebted warmth spilling over the groove.
Guest remixer this time is the ever excellent Lena Willikens, delivering massive club fire in the form of her own much more minimal take on 'Far Away From A Distance", stripping it back and only allowing the melody to intrude in the last third.
After a short hiatus following their modular-only, desert recorded last album 'Whorl', during which SMD's James Ford found himself on production duties for everyone and their dog, SMD are back with bunch of techno cuts on their own Delicacies label.
Over a couple of months in Jas Shaw's newly re-located synth-dense studio in leafy Kent, which saw SMD once again experiment with live jams as the basis for their production, they've pulled together a selection of eight tracks for release as a series of four singles over the coming months.
SMD fans will note that the earlier naming convention of Delicacies has fallen by the wayside - for the simple reason that we've pretty much run out of weird and wonderful food stuffs to steal names from. Instead, a semi-random automated process has been used to create the track names.

After a year spent perfecting the sound and style of his latest project, Andrea Fiorito makes his highly-anticipated return to Cynosure Recordings with Voodoo Grooves, the first of a two part EP that fuses funk, dub, and minimal with elements of analog house music straight from the New York city underground. Inspired by a recent pilgrimage to South America, Voodoo Grooves borrows the sounds of the Amazon, the flavour of Cuban Santeria, and the spirit of the rainforest in its warm, grounded basslines and hypnotic loops.

Brianna Price AKA B.Traits, launches her new record label venture, In.toto, with a self-produced two track single, 'Still Point'/'North Shore'.
In.toto, to mean 'as a whole, altogether, UNITY', will focus not only on her own productions and releases, but also provide a platform for up and coming artists, and those producers already championed in her DJ sets and hugely loved BBC Radio 1 show, by way of new material and compilation albums. The label will be backed by bespoke events and club nights, enabling the artists and the sound of In.toto to reach far and wide.
On the label's inaugural release, Brianna sets the tone perfectly with 'Still Point'. Gnarly, rasping bass punctures the gentle piano riff and ethereal synth pads as this club ready track blossoms into life, the assured and driving drums never letting the energy drop for one second. On the flip side of the limited edition, purple 12' vinyl release, ''North Shore' opens with warm IDM pulses and tones, grandiose strings and vocal refrains create a huge sound that takes its unexpected breakbeat twist, reminiscent of British rave heroes Orbital, whilst holding its own with its fresh and bright production.

Hot on the heels of killer releases by label heads Ryan Crosson and Shaun Reeves, the latest Visionquest release sees the label turn its head to Deadbeat aka Scott Monteith. The Berlin based Montrealeler has been putting his own spin on house and techno for some time now, putting his stamp on esteemed labels such as Cynosure, Echocord and Wagon Repair. The Jacks EP continues his fine tradition of putting out discerning fare, as he conjures up a new EP package that remixes his classic track, Mecca Drum Track (originally released on Wagon Repair), from 2008. Striking in its many intricate and delicate production wares, it's a polished effort from the outset.

The Jacks EP gets going with the suitably titled ''Berghain Drum Jack'', a suitably raucous and out-there slice of tribal tech that pays homage to the Berlin club and is notable for its banking percussive elements and its propensity for surprises. Starting off on an unrelenting tip, it gets even more off-kilter the longer it stretches out, as the drums become even more pronounced and the baseline finally enters the fray. Dark but dexterous, it's a thrilling track that's sure to more even the most ardent and discerning of dancefloors.

Middle track ''Mecca Drum Jack'' sees the producer opt for a similarlly-inclined vibe, as the drums play a similarly pertinent role. A fitting tool with which to light up your set, it's more dextrous in nature than what's arrived before but another altogether engrossing effort. Rounding off the weighty three-tracker is ''Acid Dub Jack'', which sees Deadbeat really go off on a frankly mental course that's littered with atmosphere from the get-go. Once again, Visionquest and Deadbeat have reminded us why they're both so cherished in the techno world.

Sydney based Dreems & Jamie Blanco pool together creative minds and production proficiency on the "Studio Glucose" single, delivering three diverse original tracks and a guest remix from Moscoman, as well as keeping Futureboogie on a great roll of red hot releases.

Head Honcho Guy J returns home to Lost & Found with his first artist release for a while, and boy is this one to get the fans excited.

'Octavia' starts with tinkled marimba sound before a wash of low end oozes across, adding energy and drive, while pads gently caress as the percussive layers build. The melodics subtly increase, locking you under a magical spell, as you gently join in to its dreamy vibe. We land at its drop and are wrapped in a blanket of warmth before we kick back in landing us firmly back on the dance floor.

'Release Me' is an infectious voyage, with its bubbling bass meandering throughout, beautifully layered with a fantasy creating pad that doubles as a top line. this is one of those tracks that just works. A real treat for your ears, that will elegantly cause havoc to your crowd, in the most beautiful way.

Just in time for the summer peak comes an EP by Swedish producer, HNNY. The lead song is a sentimental, romantic serenade, decked out with lush vocal samples, fortified by a simple, bouncy bass and jazzy drums. Young Marco speeds the tune up and creates a longer instrumental lead-in that sounds like cutting room floor scraps from an Altered Images studio session in the early 80s. A cheerful and perky reinterpretation that is made all the more bittersweet thanks to the late (yet rewarding) incorporation of the fragile swoonings of the original.

The flip supplements 'Mys' aesthetically and sonically, which makes sense—consider it the second half of this two-part composition. It's still a saccharine and gushy little nugget, but one that's a bit more beat-heavy and layered (plenty of sax!) Gothenburg natives, Shakarchi & Stranéus, morph the tune into a deeper, loopier ditty that will surely set any floor ablaze with it's sharp edges and sleek synth washes.

Whether you're embracing your loved one to these four songs while sprawled out in a cushy patch of park green or boogieing on a dancefloor, we know they'll do the trick and meld to the moment you're in.

Known for dramatic dance tunes that previously found their way onto labels such as Innervisions, Last Night On Earth or global event brand / record imprint Just This, Italian duo HUNTER/GAME has evolved its sound into a uniquely expressive, yet subtly arranged variant of techno - music that confidently takes centre stage, but never puts the sonic means before its aesthetic goal. Honing a satisfying punch and mesmerizing melodies, the two producers based out of Milan and New York have already turned in two installments for our Speicher dance couture series, with "Hexagon" (Kompakt Extra 83) reaching the coveted 31 chart of Resident Advisor's monthly DJ Top 50 - all the while prepping an equally thrilling live set that feeds off a deep, handcranked groove in collusion with ebullient licks and percussive fervor.
Emmanuele Nicosia and Martino Bertola's album debut ADAPTATION bundles the most accomplished facets of their output so far, but also refines it - produced during the hot Milanese summer, the pair decided to retreat to a chalet in the Dolomite Alps, near a ski resort closed for the season, where they'd find just the right dose of inspiration in the deserted landscape. "That is basically where the Hunter/Game monicker is coming from", they explain, "walking alone through the silent nights, in the darkness of the mountains. It just has this profound impact on you, seeing a place that you only know bustling with human activity uncovered and naked, realizing to what extent human presence has somehow contaminated that piece of nature." It's a place "where you go for a walk and can still find fossils, and this precisely where we came up with the concept for 'Adaptation'".

The Lost Records vinyl special series begins with a collection of remixes and an Original track from label bosses Leftwing & Kody.the A side leads with One Nation which was a great success when released digitally this year and is the first track included on this vinyl sampler. The second track is a remix of "Don't Look" from the same EP as One Nation & remixed by Luca Cazal. The AA side includes two stellar remixes. Hector took on PAWSA & Wade's Anahata and added his gritty twist to it. The second track is Detlefs remarkable remix of Philip Baders "Handmade" which has been shaking dance floors since January this year!

Martin Landsky's long association with Poker Flat Recordings continues with yet another exquisitely realized three-tracker. Long since a staple of the underground electronic music scene in Berlin and Europe in general, Landsky's deft ear for dynamics and sense of off kilter dance-floor knowledge continues to do the business for DJs and dancers alike. After the great success of Vol.1 , Landsky now presents 'Ekko Traxx Vol.2'. 'Echo My Head' is the perfect example - driving, focussed and funky, yet with a subtle undercurrent that keeps you slightly out of your comfort zone - and locked in to the groove. 'Weird Night' contains a spooky, discordant synth that raises the tension over and over, before giving way to a hard driving rhythm track that will see the late night heads fully losing themselves - classic Landsky style. 'That Organ' has a similar aesthetic, chunky rhythms and bass pulses for the floor, and synth stabs and m

contains a remix by remute !!! and now repressed !!

German techno auteur Pantha Du Prince (aka Hendrik Weber) releases 'The Triad', his first proper studio album since his 2010 breakthrough
'Black Noise' and 2013's collaboration with The Bell Laboratory, 'Elements Of Light'.

Pleasurekraft's labor of love imprint Kraftek have announced the first instalment of their vinyl series due out on October 9th. For this inaugural release - Kraftek has nabbed 2 of its favorite producers- Re.You taking on Pleasurekraft & Tiger Stripes' "Primed" - while fellow Berliner David Mayer of Keinemusik revamps Matrixxman's "The Sigil".

Re.you takes the pulsating groove and abstract bass of label boss Pleasurekraft and Tiger Stripes' collaboration and strips it right back, slowing the pace and turning 'Primed' into a slow burning and eerily atmospheric track.

David Mayer completes the offering with his remix of Matrixxman's 'The Sigil'. Rhythmic groove and tight percussion give way to a melodic homage nodding to the original's signature hallmark. But it's Mayer's emotional pad swells that build the intensity of the remix to another level - making his rendition truly something special.

Showcasing the finely tuned production skills and raw talent of the Kraftek family, the first volume of the Kraftek Vinyl Series will be available on Beatport and vinyl on the 9th October.

Running Back's 50th anniversary comes courtesy of Redshape. After his utilitarian Bonuz Beatz effort earlier this year, the masked man is back on the monolithic techno tip. Graced with a sense of tradition and a modern stlye of execution, 'Leaves' is the sort of warehouse rave signal that exceeds the sole purpose of a tool. Speaking of which, it comes in two different mixes to choose from accompanied by two unclothed versions for the creative DJ mind.

Growin Music is a new experimental & atmospheric label who's second release comes courtesy of Samuel André Madsen aka S.A.M.

Re:works is the result of a groundbreaking project that sees the rich catalogue of Decca Classics being opened to some of the world's foremost electronic producers, seeking to further establish the common ground between the historic and modern day aspects of musical composition.
Ranging from the experimental to the more recognisable 4/4 structures of house and techno, Re:works elicits the full range of emotion - from the heartbreaking to the ecstatic.
Francesco Tristano takes on one of the most recogniseable piano riffs of all time with his remix of 'Merry Christmas Mr. Laurence', which, after a brief introduction of that seminal loop, descends into deep, dubby house cut punctuated by shimmering keys.
Patrice Baumel's remix is an intense techno workout that is in many ways the antithesis of his definitive 'Roar': a non-stop pummeling via clattering percussion and a heavy, pulsing bassline. Completing the package, Grammy-nominated studio legend Martin Buttrich delivers a melancholy, minimalistic techno take on Satie's 'Gnossienne No.4'

Sonority is the operational alias for the electronic music producer, Live & DJ performer, Jan Hanak. He is from the Czech Republic. After the recent, well-received "Virtus" single earlier in the year we are pleased to be releasing Jans debut album "Raw". The album is high on the Distinctive sound with Expansive wide vision, Electronic intrigue and a progressive rhythms.

The album with the brooding electronic sunrise of "Elsewhere" before the vocal house tune of "Inner Child" which features the driving and powerful voice of Pat Fulgoni. "Leaving" carries on the electronic theme this time adding layers of processed vocals.

Recent single Virtus is next which features the real strings from the Prague Symphony Orchestra laid over solid breakbeat core and emotive chord changes.

"Between The Lines" lightens the mood slightly with some upbeat electronic pop. "Melted" is an offbeat electro interlude before the quirky "Egoless" mixes reggae rhythms and bleepy electronica.

The electronica section of the record comes to a close with the arrival of the driving house beats of "Raw Dist". Big grooves, driving synths and sky-scraping distorted riffs. "Catharsis" is a refreshing, uplifting databurst of musicality. As a closing hurrah "Could Be Normal" is a shimmering breakbeat fest of dance floor grooves and layers on the tech house sheen. We round things off with the closing downtempo electronica of "Going Home".

Seth Troxler follows up a slew of cross-genre releases across his Soft Touch and Tuskegee labels with another offering on his no-nonsense imprint Play It Say It. Designed to bring road-tested, high-grade club material to the fore Play It Say it has seen the likes of Clarian, Sharam and Steve Lawler build its catalogue and now, next in line is the Paris based Damien Roussel AKA The Mekanism.

Every bit as much a stalwart of vinyl DJing as a producer The Mekanism's previous releases have touched Needwant and Los Suruba. As a DJ, he holds down a residency at Showcase in Paris as well as maintaining summertime slots at one of Ibiza's most loved underground parties Antz.

All the while he has consistently rolled out the sort of taught, bumping grooves that lend him perfectly to Play It Say It and his latest offering is no exception: Tough and tumbling bass lines peppered with nifty vocal samples and flecks of acid.

'Acid Love' kicks things off with a circling bass pattern punching beneath sharp, shuffling percussion and stuttering vocal samples. 'Lost Girl' then drives a spoken word sample through a hefty bass pattern and hallucinogenic delays that are sent shimmering across the mix in a manner certain to send the floor into rapture in another fine addition to the Play It Say it series.

U-More exactly after a year, back on his label with the fourth release. An album different, new, clean, colorful, lively. This album finds all his musical influences, originating since the 90s and that led him, in the course of these years, to get a sound all its own.

Roman Flügel "I think the first 5 tracks of the album are simply fantastic"

Social Experiment is back with a 3 cut EP that was specifically crafted for the dance floor by rising star AD/D. An individual with a long history in dance music who is set to go the next level off the back of this stunning debut package on this imprint. The EP features 2 floor destroyer grooves featured heavily in Art Department dj sets all year, and ends with the sublime and slightly 90's nostalgic gem 'Star 233411' from the Canadian also knows as Mario J, which is heavily influenced by the music he made and played at his iconic nightclub, Industry.

Kling Klong's longtime friend Alex Flatner returns to Martin Eyerer & Rainer Weichhold's label with a very sensual and twisted track. Done together with his mate Blue Amazon and the legendary singer Robert Owens, 'Never Get It Twisted' was quickly a must for Suara and Tronic artist Dosem to submit a driving techno remix.

When WNCL012 hero, Kevin McPhee, dropped the unreleased Bobby Champs dubplate of 'Krenshaw' in his Boiler Room set last
year, the Cassette Library instantly knew that they had found their lucky star for WNCL013. With his trademark boxy drum sound
littering the contents of this EP, the man who likes '...making songs that make you want to dance' has done it again.

Jorge Zamacona returns to Mosaic with three sublime slices of raw techno flavoured house.

The 'Obsidian Falls' EP from Seattle's Josef Gaard sits at a very fascinating but incredibly complimentary space between traditional techno tendencies and freeform ambient composition and experimentation. Each track seamlessly references each other providing a straightforward sense of cohesion while maintaining a constant and aggressively progressive motion. The EP will guide and gently coerce the listener into experiencing a somewhat altered perspective on sonic and musical expression. Without much notice the listener will effortlessly travel from point "A" to point "C" without realizing they've ever touched on point "B".

As was the case with Blankstairs alum, Archivist, Josef Gaard has played an integral role in the development of the foggy and seemingly bleak techno leaning sounds coming out of Seattle and the surrounding Pacific Northwest as of late. As a curator and active resident for the Secondnature crew Gaard has shared bills with Abdulla Rashim, Silent Servant, Israel Vines, Heatsick, and Mick Finesse among many others. The 'Obsidian Falls' EP is his debut 12" release and a rather successful statement on adventurous music targeted for the mind and the body.

Debut ep by this Russian based newcomer under the alias LOW TAPE.

Thanks to the help of her mentor Mathias Kaden the two Kling Klong head honchos Martin Eyerer and Rainer Weichhold came in touch with this great new talent and could immediately hear her outstanding way of creating a very special vibe. With additional remixes from Dachshund and Christian Nielsen her debut release should be a very first big step for the young lady.

Plastic Soul is a collaborative project between Paul Bateman and Bob Bhamra - two old friends with a penchant for procrastination
that makes My Bloody Valentine look like Stock, Aitken and Waterman. After several years of to and fro, WNCL017 is finally in the bag.
