Various creatures of the native flora and fauna are interpreted musically on Dominik Eulberg's label 'Apus apus'. The music pieces are thoughtfully presented with 2 tracks per EP.
His first EP features the track 'Bienenfresser' (eng. bee-eater) on the a side and - Blauracke' (engl. blue roller) on the flip side.
The bee-eater is the most colorful bird of our native lands; a quality which is echoed through the piece of the same name. The composition oscillates from one color into another without losing its significant habitus. It is a musical journey through the color scheme of the bee-eater, through which Dominik Eulberg takes us by way of his iconic style. He succeeds at a striking balancing act between sensitive subtlety and steady pressure, in order to offer us a satisfying share of hedonism.
It is a piece of music that provides an intimate listening experience, while simultaneously supplying listeners with a collective, mobilizing anthem. The long introduction of the track emulates the agile flight for prey of the dazzling bird, but then it fervently taps out the stinger of the captured bee, and finally nothing can stand in the way of the massiveness of the celebratory bass drum. Intrepid, yet with a high degree of ataraxia, Dominik leads us through the skies on an expedition into the colorful land of the bee-eater.
The magnificent turquoise blue plumage of the blue roller glimmers green or blue, depending on the quality of light. These colors, translated into worlds of sound, are reflected in this piece of the same name. Sparkling melodies intertwine gracefully along musical chains, and create a constant redefinition of the theme. The piece is inviting and catchy in the typical Eulbergian manner; submerging into the auditory tract and manifesting itself with much elegy in the deepest cortex. The blue roller is a sit-and-wait hunter - at first occupied with idleness, until finally capturing its anticipated prey. This imperturbable serenity is felt in this piece of music and illustrates Eulberg's many years of knowledge and experience. He steers his audiences through the true essence of music, while always keeping both hands firmly on the wheel.

Sebastian Mullaert has always been a seeker and an innovator, so naturally his long awaited debut solo album, "A Place Called o Inkonst" presents an unique artistic concept and a thoughtful exploration of the relationship between sound and space. For several weeks, Mullaert spent most of his time at Kontra-Musik's home base Inkonst, an old chocolate factory turned cultural hub in the busy urban area of Mollan, Malmo city. Working in solitude outside the venue's usual hours, he built his live rig in front of the PA, right in the middle of the dance floor. This figurative role reversal between a dancer and performer allowed him to fully immerse himself in a perspective as close as possible to that of the audience during the process of creation. Mullaert's recording studio lies deep within a beautiful forest in the south of Sweden, a setting which has increasingly made its mark on his music: lush, green and spacious. It's a lovely place that makes for equally lovely music, but contentment is art's worst enemy. The complete displacement during the recording process of this album has affected his music profoundly. Mullaert's usually wide horizon of green hills and tall beech wood is more condensed and focused here, taking the form of urban patterns of life. Shades of longing and melancholy run through the album and those hazy ambient parts are no longer modelled on morning mist, they are exuding from smoke machines. The album is an exploration of improvisation, an approach that has become far more than a method for Mullaert: For him this is a way of encountering the present. The tracks are expressions of chance; collisions and collaborations of sound waves caught in the moment by Mullaert, like snapshots of fleeting harmony. The thematics are always distinct but at the same time ever morphing, pulsating and breathing like living entities. As the music changes we accordingly change with it. New patterns of movement and thought emerge and we improvise to keep up. This is the concept of dancing in its purest form, but also of meditation. A place called o Inkonst is made for both. A place called o Inkonst is Sebastian Mullaert's hommage to improvisation - an approach that is central to his work as a musician, as well as his critically acclaimed Circle Of Live event series concept he launched last year. The here and now is always in a state of flux, so improvising is the only true way to experience the present.

OHANNES BRECHT seeks the sublime with lead track “Synesthetic” – a delicate yet potent entry that was inspired by the condition called synesthesia, a perceptual condition in which the stimulation of one sense triggers an automatic, involuntary experience in another sense. Flipside “Matter” leans more to to the left-field where found sounds mingle to a simmering bass drum. The bonus track “Particulate” furthers Johannes’ vast capabilities as a musician by playing E-Bow on an medieval instrument called the Dulcimer - the results reflect and depth and beauty rarely heard in dance music.

Overall, his “Dust EP” finds beauty through minimalistic arrangement.

After the highly acclaimed debut EP - Caper Tran' Zagreb based Petar Dundov (Music Man, Cocoon) and Marc Romboy (Kompakt, Systematic) have teamed up once again in order to release their definition of what THEY call techno.

- Dimension D' is once again a stunning hybrid of both´s sound signatures, with rough and addictive beats accompanied by their destinctive way of programming hooky arpeggios.

- Meteor shower' was produced after a dream Petar had after the first production day in Marc´s studio. Inspired by the pictures which remained in his brain they switched on a Minimoog, Buchla Music Easel and a Juno 106 and started to make a trip into sounds which could be a soundtrack of such a bloodcurdling scenario. Purest techno!

What is techno? It's a question that might be worth considering in our current world away from the dancefloor, and that which is proposed by DJ Tennis on 'Anthems for No State', a new compilation commemorating ten years of music from Life and Death. A number of the label's most trusted associates offer their sonic answer to Tennis's query on this propulsive yet thoughtful compilation.

"Not all of the artists here are exclusively associated with 'techno', whatever that may be, and everyone took a different direction", explains Manfredi, the international DJ turned-lockdown bicycle repairman. "But in producing something outside of your comfort zone, or experimenting with something you'd never thought about experimenting with, it takes you right back to when you started, and so you have nothing to lose. And it's liberating."

Although 'Anthems for No State' focuses on the potential within one particular sound, it's the perfect anniversary accompaniment to a decade of one of electronic music's more unpredictable institutions. As Tennis himself puts it, "sometimes we failed, sometimes we were successful without ever expecting it, but we always want to keep things interesting within the manifesto of the label."

In this instance, techno is truly a matter of Life and Death.

With signature acoustic drums, synthwork, breakbeats, and soundscapes, Polynation offers a highly spirited electronic EP with hints of trance, electronica, and krautrock. Arrangements are key - opening track Wildeburg is an 8-minute piece that moves in all directions, yet it feels like one cohesive work: a melancholic homage to the festival fields. Coral, the b-side of the release, is split into two parts. The first version continues where Wildeburg left off, eventually concluding with a beautiful synth-led anticlimax. The second part of Coral is a modest, alternative take of the original mix. The track Wildeburg is named after the Dutch festival Wildeburg where Polynation played one of their most memorable shows last year. We send our love to the crew, founders, and everyone else involved.

Working with artists like David August and Daniel Brandt, Frieder Nagel is known for managing projects in venues ranging from theatres to clubs, for concerts to audiovisual experiments. He finally signs his first solo work Distract Robots to be released on January 18 on InFiné and invites his listeners to get lost in an universe that spans from euphoric to devastating excitement. - mastered by Zino Mikorey, the magician behind Nils Frahms latest album.

Frieder Nagel invites his listeners to get lost in a universe that spans from euphoric to devastating excitement. He is known for managing projects in venues ranging from theatres to clubs, for concerts to audio-visual experiments - working with artists like David August, La Boum Fatale and Daniel Brandt (Brandt Brauer Frick). The first time he appeared on stage, in 2016 at Berlin's infamous Radialsystem V, armed with several synthesizers, effects, drum machines, one grand piano; and backed by the German Symphony Orchestra (DSO). This critically acclaimed debut was streamed by Boiler Room later and led to further collaborations with Philharmonie Essen or his ensemble show at Reeperbahn Festival.

Now finally Nagel Žs first solo work Distract Robots will be released by French label InFineŽ. This 12" has become an album in miniature with a final polish by mastering guru Zino Mikorey known for his work for Nils Frahm Žs All Melody. This EP offers up a mystical world, full of warm synths and detailed sound clusters morphing into each other to form utterly dark and dystopian ballads. Nagel gets lost in obsessively endless sessions with his instruments. He isolates himself and spends night after night drifting away from reality. The result is that his tracks carry moments of utterly deep relief and deliverance, as well as despairing sadness and stoical escapism.

We first encountered DJ Varsovie back in 2018 when Guillaume Labadie proposed him as the remixer for Walpurgis Night on the I Hate Models / Khemia release Midnight Cults.

So the dark love affair began and developed into an intoxicated obsession, The spores were planted in the dark substrata late at night and the mycelium thread led us to where you are now. The Monster devoured the Labyrinth.

Extra Welt Hits is a time capsule drenched in the essence of the act’s DNA. Accentuated by newlyremastered tracks that serve their ever-evolving, clever and out-of-the-box sound, each recording spills into the next with sonic precision. From the monumental masterpiece of the album’s opening track ‘Ferneh’, through to the “One- way ticket to oblivion, please” hits of ‘Soopertrack’ and ‘Titelheld’, the listener is left captivated. And, because it’s what they do best, the destruction and artful reconstruction echoed through their shows are also present. These are beamed out in the exclusive live versions of ‘Zu Fuss’, ‘Dark Side Of My Room’ and ‘Herzstück’. Recorded in Tokyo, Paris and at the Fusion Festival, these bent, broken and rebuilt icons prove once again why they are one of the most influential live-acts of the semi- underground. That live-act—a futuristic symphony of dance music—is both undefinable and strays well past the norm. Their chance to manipulate their creations in a flow of measured spontaneity, it continues to leave permanent impressions on audiencesNew Release Information everywhere. The result is an experience focussed on purism with great care in presenting the deepest core of their craft, in essence; exactly what sums up their musical galaxy.
It was never the acts plan to release a best-of album, especially at the unusual 15- year mark, rather, it rolled into motion naturally as a way to immortalise the victory of being around so long (in a scene where the shelf life for most artists doesn't last much longer than an album or two, fifteen years is something of a triumph). With that, Extrawelt invite those that were there from the start to join them in getting a kick out of being “officially mature”. And for those that were not, to have the chance to hear their story up until now, like it’s never been told before. And yes, while the listener may have outlived many of the clubs which first introduced them, it is unlikely that anyone has outgrown this brave,
intangible and absorbing music—one that is all theirs, but all ours, too. A sound which is still as relevant today as ever it was; feeding the older generation’s electronic-itch while also enabling the newones to go totally nuts.

Renowned Italian DJ & producer Luca Guerrieri delivers his debut long player ‘It Never Ends’ The 15 track album crosses a multitude of electronic genres pulling in inspiration from over 25 years of experience within the industry. With a mixture of unreleased music added to 6 of his standout tracks the album stands as testament to the Italian’s expansive career, culminating in this rich body of work.

Guerrieri has already seen past releases like ‘Harmony’ gain huge support along the way by the likes of Pete Tong on his Radio 1 show et al, so this body of work comes with an existing and reputable catalogue of past work.

The LP itself includes standout tracks like ‘Tears’ and ‘Colony’ the variation across multiple genres testament to the Italian’s versatility.

The fascinating ‘Synthesis’ draws progressive electro laden synth inspo from electronic heavyweights Daft Punk, alongside the likes of ‘Colony’, ‘Mellowtronic’, ‘Beltempo’ and the excellent ‘Eleven’

Techier cuts like ‘Involved’ take a more main room trajectory showing the length and breadth of the musical output on this record. ‘Go Back’ a shining example of uplifting and grooving classic house. A euphoric piano cut, laden with dramatic strings and expertly crafted crescendos, this is a summer time peak player!

Other highlights include ‘Destino’ and ‘Neptune’. An expansive, progressive synth masterpiece built for the big stages. Nestled right next to that is ‘Holding Me’ a progressive trance inspired release, another single that pulls on the euphoric heart strings with a simple enchanting vox sample layered over arpeggiated goodness.

Guerrieri brings the record to a close with lead track ‘It Never Ends’ if any track from the LP was undoubtedly inspired by the iconic robotic duo then this is it. Another hugely infectious summer cut, packed with punk!

A body of work that has taken 25+ years to compile, ‘It Never Ends’ is a timely reminder that away from the mainstream of major labels there’s an ample showcasing of amazing work waiting patiently to be unveiled.

At the latest since groundbreaking releases on labels like Music Man and R&S Belgian techno stands for intense and atmospheric tunes which have that certain something that touches the listeners and dancers.

And without any doubt Michael Forzza and Dimitri Andreas have helped to shape this style and vibe, amongst others with releasing „Kahana“ in 2005.

Marc Romboy has always been a big fan of this tune so that it was a matter of time to plan a re-release including the original mix in a remastered way and three new versions which are more than audiolicious!

Barcelona´s specialists for ethereal techno, Fur Coat, come around with an extremely respect version which brings that certain early 90s dream techno vibe a la „The Age Of Love“ together with their typical contemporary and atmospheric sound.

Music Man´s finest Petar Dundov adds his best known sound signature to the tune while Forzza and Andrweas themselves master the impossible, as they transform the tune into a modern frame although keeping the original vibe.

New listeners and gourmets reminiscing about the good old times, noone will be disappointed at all!

MARC ROMBOY returns to our KOMPAKT EXTRA series with STALKER / BEYOND.

Since we last saw him in 2018 on SPEICHER 103, Marc has kept plenty busy with a release on Bedrock, a collaboration with Stephan Bodzin, plus a series of releases with Petar Dundov on his own Systematic Recordings. Beyond Marc’s rigorous DJ touring schedule, he performed live in a Planetarium and ended the year with a highlight, performing live at Philharmonie Cologne together with violinist Miki Kekenj and the Takeover! Ensemble.

Marc appears to be looking back to the deep, twisted forms of techno that shaped his early years with this double header. STALKER clearly delivers a typical Detroit-ish 90’s grittiness and drive which resounded the dancefloors of the German rave scene of that era.

BEYOND is a deeper cut for those late-night dreamers who are into the sound of Carpenter. A growling synth and laser light synth mingle relentlessly until a delicate piano quickly realizes that IT’S THE place.

Mit STALKER / BEYOND kehrt MARC ROMBOY zurück in unserer KOMPAKT EXTRA Serie. Seit unserer letzten Begegnung auf SPEICHER 103 im Jahr 2018 war Marc ziemlich beschäftigt: Ein Release auf Bedrock, eine Kollaboration mit Stephan Bodzin und eine Reihe an Veröffentlichungen mit Peter Dundov auf seinem eigenen Label Systematic Recordings. Jenseits seines eng getakteten DJ Tourplans spielte er live in einem Planetarium und beendete das Jahr mit einem Highlight, als er zusammen mit der Violinistin Miki Kekenj und dem Takeover! Ensemble in der Philharmonie Köln performte.

Mit dieser Doppelvorstellung scheint Marc auf die deepen, verdrehten Formen von Techno zurückzuschauen, die seine frühen Jahre bestimmten. STALKER liefert eindeutig die typische Detroit-ish 90’s Trockenheit und den Antrieb, der zu dieser Zeit über die Tanzflächen der deutschen Rave-Szene schallte.

BEYOND ist emotional, ein Stück für Träumer, die sich für den Sound von Carpenter begeistern. Eine knurrender Synthesizer mischt sich unerbittlich mit einem laser light synth bis ein feinfühliges Piano schnell bemerkt: Das hier ist der richtige Ort.

Fort Romeau returns to Permanent Vacation following his “Fantasia” EP earlier this year with three more psychedelic dance floor explorations on “The Mirror“.

Patrick Richard's debut LP "Transgression" sums up his musical output so far: Deep, emotional and intelligent techno. It is a coherent, yet rich and diverse LP: full of dirty samples, cinematic sowker edge to them. The Blade Runner tinted "Escape", for example, takes you on a sonic journey through misty dystopian wastelands, while "The Abyss" dives deep below, with dusky chords, psychedelic Arp-leads and skitzo riffs accompanying the listener on the descent. On the more upbeat side you have "B Ortz' Edit", a slightly breakbeat flavoured stomper with warehousey stabs, or "Flare Gun" a Detroit-oozing killer, with epic strings on top of a pumping broken groove, guaranteed to get the crowd moving. The LP also contains more tranquil moments such as "Shelter", and subtle deep techno, such as the foggy "Searchlights". Comprising dirty basement house, dark dubby techno, flirts with broken beat, ambient serenity, as well as more experimental ingredients, Transgression is indeed a diverse and generous debut.

Watergate favourites Frankey & Sandrino make a timely debut on the club’s imprint, with a classy remix by Tiefschwarz in toe.

If you’ve found yourself at the Oberbaumbrücke institution on a Thursday in recent years, chances are Frankey & Sandrino were responsible for the soundtrack. The pair of Sandrino Tittel and Frank Beckers have captained the Thursdate residency since 2018, serving up a beguiling blend of deep grooves and twinkling chords progressions.

The four-track ‘Nova’ EP is the embodiment of this immersive sonic palette. ‘Chimes’ is built around a strong melodic lead that rises and falls throughout the lustrous seven-minute cut, as lilting pads and delicate drums patterns complete the work. The title track follows on, a delicious exploration into the deep, as subtle acid lines rub shoulders with meandering synths to build a masterful snake-like groove.

Tiefschwarz’s remix of ‘Chimes’ brings heat to the package as the original is imbued with a muscular percussive heartbeat. ‘Black Hole’ is a sweeping composition made for the after-hours as a searing lowend synth is juxtaposed with an effervescent melody line to create an atmosphere-heavy finale.

2019 is mule musiq's 15 years anniversary. we're going to release twelve 12inchs with our friend artists and stefan marx make the collectable artwork. sixth release is our dearest friend lawrence. we don't need to tell about him anymore. musics are just pure beauty.

Unless you're too young to know or have been living under a rock
for the past twenty years, there's little chance that you haven't
come across Marc Romboy's music in one way or another. The
Systematic Recordings boss has had many irons on the fire
since establishing his first imprint, the now defunct Le Petit
Prince - gathering an untold number of releases on labels as
diverse as Ovum, Innervisions, Rebirth or 20:20 Vision in his two
decades of intense activity. Tracing back to 1994, when he used
to rummage through the crates of Delirium - the primitive
incarnation of KOMPAKT (closed and revived under its new
name in 1998), the friendship between Romboy and the
KOMPAKT family has largely withstood the test of time. After
losing touch for a few years, Romboy and Michael Mayer would
resume contact during a festival in the south of France - a
reunion that eventually led to Systematic joining Kompakt's
distribution catalogue a couple months later.

With such a longstanding complicity to build from, it was about
time for the Rheinland natives to actually team up on a release
from start to finish, and SPEICHER 103 is their inaugural act of
faith. A cosmic storm in a teacup, the A-side opener 'Galaxy In
An Atom' blows some furious stellar winds across a shape-
shifting tide of loud kicks and mutant bass moves, beating
across uneven arpeggiated synth reliefs through thick and thin.
Then, the chaos makes way for emotive piano stabs to take over
in the track's last third, gracefully gliding into a further
appeasing compass. Following up pedal to the metal, the
pulsating 'Elektrisiermaschine' makes for a proper peak time
ball of fire. Built upon a rolling and pitching bass comber, the
track sets its pistons and rods in dancing motion straightaway,
tightening the bolts bar after bar as it expands its abraded
melodic lines and batucada-like rhythms with amplified
magnitude for over seven minutes of sustained mind-bending
onslaughts.

This is already EP number three of these two techno heavy weights from Zagreb and Germany, Petar Dundov and Marc Romboy.

After „Caper Tran“ and „Dimension D“ it´s time again for real techno music:

„Upiter“ shows us how musically the Croatian-German friendship team is able to create dark and deep tech tunes. The warm and catchy arpeggio combined with a shuffling 808 groove takes us to a journey of spacy and trippy speres.

„Ex machina“ is forward thinking techno music however with the spirit as it was made in the 90s when the machines were the masters of the music and ruled the structure of the song. The track surprises with unexpected turning points and moving sound synthesis.

"To the one who does not swim anywhere - there is no tailwind!"

Finally Gorge delivers his first 8bit release this year with the brandnew 'Rai' and a 2020 update of his classic 'Erotic Soul' plus new versions from the winners of our remix contest: Crimsen, Sensoreal and Hazner. Great work!

Terminal M welcomes back the Argentinian artist Beico ! He delivers a wonderful 3 track ep with some melodic bangers. Hard to choose which is my favourite… Please enjoy! (Monika Kruse)

It's no big secret: The elements of trance music have always played a vital part in the music of Prins Thomas. In fact, there are scholars who argue that these stylistic attributes were the ramp that shot his disco into space. But let's not pour hot coffee onto the cold one. When the king they call Prins sent a loose bunch of tracks to Gerd Janson to get some sort of feedback, it was like an epiphany: the calling for the missing link between "Logic Trance" compilations of yesteryear and the honey for the strobe light bees of today has finally been answered. Naturally, it's not all ice cannons and glow sticks, endorphins and euphoria. The private and poetic Prins stands just one step behind the sweaty one - in alphanumeric track list order. If there has ever been something like thinking-(wo)mans-trance, this is the album for it.

Sintope bosses NTFO return to Bondage Music this May to deliver a combination of digital and vinyl only productions in the form of their 'Esperantza' EP.
Following an impressive break through year in 2009, Romanian duo Dani and Robert aka NTFO have since gone on to carve out an impressive resume within the world of house, with a series of releases on 20/20 Vision, Objektivity, Diynamic and Jargon making up a notable back catalogue. Owners of their own Sintope imprint, releasing material from themselves alongside the likes of revered Parisian Djebali and fellow Romanian Rhadow, the duo have garnered stand out support from Ryan Crosson, Cinthie, Vinyl Speed Adjust and Arapu to name just a few, and having recently featured on the labels 'Bondage Games' compilation in January, here we see the duo deliver a fresh four track EP that's set to become a favourite of many in the months ahead.

Title cut 'Esperantza' sees the duo go to work, fusing rolling, crisp percussion with rich sub-bass, before 'Uppercut' interjects, unveiling a production packed full of swing, reinforced by robust drum licks, skipping hats and sweeping synths.
On the flip, the first vinyl only cut 'Lux' reveals a smooth, stripped back effort, with lush, deep pads floating effortlessly over hazy background textures, whilst the electro influenced 'Avoid' closing things out in fine fashion, as trickling lead lines flow amongst and intricate organic percussion patterns across seven minutes.

Theo Kottis’s celebrated ‘Turning Around’ and ‘Clear’ get a joint 12” vinyl release on 24 April on Skint Records, alongside the Gerd Janson remix of ‘Turning Around’ and an exclusive remix of ‘Clear’ by Hubie Davison.

‘Turning Around’ was one of 2019’s stand-out tracks, receiving top reviews, Annie Mac’s ‘Hottest Record in the World’, and played widely at festivals. One of the main supporters was Running Back label boss and “the DJ’s DJ” Gerd Janson who gives the uplifting disco workout a high-octane sheen, with a cascade of shimmering
beats and a poignant, powerful refrain.

On the B-Side is ‘Clear’, born out of a sample clearance issue which inspired TheoKottis to write an original piece of music that was ‘clear’ of samples. The end result is an exciting fusion of Italo disco and ‘80s synth-pop, complete with a euphoric vocal.

Exclusive to the vinyl release, acclaimed Irish-born and now London-based producer Hubie Davison delivers a deeper and tougher reworking, which is perfect for peak-time dance-floors. In Hubie’s words: There’s nothing better than being given a load of quality source material and license to have fun with it, and that’s exactly what happened here. I’ve been following Theo for a while now, so it was a joy to open the hood on ‘Clear’ and have a go at it. Having Gerd Janson on the other side makes it even better. Hopefully people enjoy these mixes as much as I do.”

Almost 10 years already….Just a short moment away from its tenth anniversary, the cutting-edge Label La Belle Records unveils the second part of its One Night Stands collection.

If the first part portrayed very warm, tropical tones, this second opus feels more like the end of a party or the morning after, with a selection of tracks at a crossroad between slo-mo, synth-pop, lo-fi, ethnic groove and nu-disco like few others have done before.

This is something you've never heard before! All thanks to the insatiable digging from the master curator and co-founder of the label, Antoine Harispuru aka Golden Bug.

From Rome to Bruxelles via Paris and Vilnius, this second edition hits hard with names like Get A Room!, Rodion, Ellis Island (a world collaboration between the Italians Bawrut and Hot Spell), Rodion, Front de Cadeaux, Claap! and some other electronic gems.

Martin Enke returns to his most enduring alias Lake People with a very special project… Building on the spotless reputation he’s developed on the likes of Mule Musiq, Uncanny Valley and Permanent Vacation; Lake People has launched his own label: Remote Scope.

Multi-talent Joyce Muniz is definitely one to look out for. Initially starting her career as a vocalist, she now took over the global house music scene within no time as a deejay and producer as
well. Exhibiting her talent with previous releases, it's not surprising that she's on the roster of prestigous labels such as Exploited Records and 20/20 Vision Recordings.

Next year she will
release her single "Toxic People" on International Deejay Gigolo Records featuring the singer, songwriter and producer Demetr1us. "Toxic People" is a vibrant and raw sounding electro house cut featuring grimy synths and vocals, that lend the track a cold and distant atmosphere.

The artwork for "Toxic People" was created by Leipzig-based artist Silvia Trost, whose forth lies in oil and acrylic paintings. She now frequently collaborates with glitch art artists and loves to mix
materials and techniques, both analogue and digital.

The B-side "Dreamz" is another great production by Joyce Muniz. The playful groove and eclectic ambient makes it a cool package.

Alex Smoke's album, Love over Will, signalled a new phase of deep artistry for the stalwart Scottish producer. Mano Le Tough's remix of 'Dust' holds on these buzzing elements of micro machinery, yet strips away the original version's atmospherics. 'Fall Out' was ominous and string-laden in its original form, which was then coaxed into a throbbing, reverb-heavy offering at the hands of Tale of Us and gets a precision edit by Dixon.

Five years on from the quartet of special records which marked Innervisions’ 50th release, the Berlin label is closing out the 2010s with a triptych of talent, for IV90. The three separate EPs which make up release #IV90 feature the sonic narratives of Bruno Deodato alias Trikk, the return of “Karma Baby” hitmaker Jimi Jules, and Copenhagen’s Denis Horvat matriculating from ​Secret Weapons alumna to standalone debut.

Following the success of the last Parquet Most Wanted EP´s, here comes the 17th volume with four gorgeous melodic-techno anthems by SOLEE, SEVERAL DEFINITIONS, RINZEN & EVAN CASEY, HOLLT!

These tracks already received big international DJ support by Solomun, Tale of Us, Victor Ruiz, John Digweed, Fideles, Format B, Bebetta, Chicola, Moonbootica, Mees Salome, Hidden Empire and many more.

The dynamic trio of Yør Kultura returns from the Netherland wilderness with their new 4 track ep “Ours Is Yours" on Permanent vacation. After last year's magical hit "Shimming" that you could hear in every corner of the world and was found in dj bags across genres, they continue discovering new paths while perfecting their shamanic, percussive and hypnotic sound. It takes you to the nearest rainforest of your mind with no wishes left unfulfilled.

Die Orangen (aka Dreems & Kris Baha) are back on Malka Tuti with the 2nd installment of their Saft series, containing fresh music, remixes, reworks and more... Saft 2 presents 2 tracks, one on each side. On the A side you can find an epic Goa leaning version of the now classic Yaranabe track (off their debut LP Zest), by non-other than Full Circle, aka Joakim and Alexis Le Tan. The proto-goa aficionados, owners of the label Crowdspacer and huge inspiration to Malka Tuti's sound have delivered a banger like nothing else around, and its already getting mega support by the likes of Vladimir Ivkovic, Ivan Smagghe, John Talabot and many more. On the B-side you can find a new Die Orangen track, which is more like a Journey than track. A 15 minute journey through sonic spaces, ancient futures and alternative dimensions. Although sonically the track screams Industrial, with a closer listen, Die Orangen managed to use a vast pallet of sounds, ideas and magic to create a musical journey that travels outside the boxes of genres and norms. Die Orangen Style

Friends with benefits: andhim follow up their exceptional ‘Duno’ EP with another Superfriends excursion. This time we’re heading west to the heart of South America as the German duo pay homage to the Argentinian capital with ‘Buenos’ and ‘Aires’… And more.

‘Buenos’ takes the lead with a dynamically layered percussive odyssey laced with a dizzying array of pipes and chimes that weave in and out of each other majestically and hypnotically while ‘Aires’ takes the same pattern but weaves a whole other narrative layer with Latin pianos and heavier percussive work. Tailored for pure mixing pleasure – you can swim between both versions to create the ultimate ode to one of house music’s most sacred spiritual homes.

And once you’ve done that, flip to ‘Last Dance’. A track that will enrapt a crowd from Buenos Aires to Brooklyn via Brixton or Berlin, the title speaks volumes. andhim describe it as “a real hymn.” and “a salute to all the dancers still being on the dance floor when the lights go on.” They’re not wrong; there’s a sense of unity, hope and warmth pumping through those stately chords as we rise and rise to the point of levitation. Last dance of the night… First dance of the morning. These are the sounds you make true friends to. These are the sounds you need this summer….
