Techno Vinyl New Releases - News

white (A/B) and red (C/D) coloured vinyl

Superb mental tribe. Never Too Mutch sound.

The first album in 7 years from seminal electronic music pioneers and twice Mercury Prize Nominated, Leftfield. Currently reaching a new audience through Idris Elba’s Gucci ad, this will be their 4th album in their 28 year history. The new single will be featured in the soon to launched eFootball by Konami (previously PES).

Their last tour (in 2017) featured 7 sold out UK shows (including 2 X Brixton Academies), a sold out world tour and various festival headlines.

Quote from Neil Barnes: "I wanted ‘Pulse’ to be the first statement from the new album. It felt strong. Dance floor. Human. Positive. And I love the bass. It’s Leftfield."

CULTURE

Leftfield (originally comprised of Neil Barnes and Paul Daley), have been at the cutting edge of dance music since the 1990s, releasing albums that have become some of the most influential electronic records of all time around the world with their debut LP 'Leftism' being widely regarded as one of the most boundary-pushing electronic LPs ever released.

In 2010, Neil Barnes reignited the Leftfield name, and went on to release an acclaimed new album (Alternative Light Source) touring the world with the full live band. Neil has also been cementing his reputation as a top-tier DJ and record collector unleashing modern dance floor weapons, selling out venues, headlining festivals and creating some amazing nights with his sets.

Praetorium sets off to probe and explore the boundaries of what music can still be. Withstanding the usual trends and expectations of the scene and cheerfully doing so, we invite you to lend your ears to Modest Ionescu, a lesser known moniker of a dear friend of ours.

An authentic artist album in the truest sense, "Nori de Praf" LP is themed around spacious and precise design, gentle harmonies and narrative complexity.

Finding it difficult to explain it ourselves, we'll let you decide what it is and what it isn't.

Vinyl only.

2023 Repress

"banging piece of sound art" - The Observer

"...a fascinating piece of Brutalist techno that pivots between crisp machine-like minimalism and granulated noise." - Clash

"A piece of immediately engaging techno it reveals more of itself with each listen." - CMU Daily

Nik Colk Void is well established with her work as one half of Factory Floor, one third of Carter Tutti Void (alongside Chris Carter and Cosey Fanni Tutti) and with the late Peter Rehberg as NPVR, but perhaps surprisingly, "Bucked up Space" is her first solo album release.

Void explains, "When Peter Rehberg initially asked me to produce a record for Editions Mego, I didn't feel quite ready and asked if we could make a record together instead. Collaboration is so ingrained into what I do, I only felt ready to make this album after working through ideas live, using the audience in place of the collaborator."

Bucked Up Space combines Void's love of improvisation with the driving force of beat-driven music absorbed from performing in galleries, residencies and clubs across the UK and Europe. She goes on to say, "You find out more about yourself when you explain your ideas to others, and that's how I felt the live performance worked for me."

The process steadily teased out a language and Void employed a variety of tactics in the recording process including a methodical approach of collecting data at her home studio in a manner not dissimilar to keeping a diary. Her microscopic focus on raw instrumental noise, layered and reformulated, resulted in a sound catalogue that Void divided into groups for their tone, density and texture.

These initial pieces were taken to a studio in Margate to put them into a more cohesive compositional context. Something that pragmatically started as cold and detached was given warmth, unity and emotion in the studio. Via improvised repetition co-existing alongside organised production, Void conjures new sonic muscle with tracks such as 'Interruption Is Good' and 'FlatTime'. Initial recordings are rendered into sequences initiating the organic rhythms, triggering awkward jerks of high hats and percussion, or used to activate the margins of post effects detectable in the tracks like 'Demna', 'Big Breather' and 'Oversized'.

Void explains: "It was important to me that the simplicity in the work disguised a lot of complexity, I want this work to be absorbed instinctively."

The sleeve image, a still from We Are City by Brazilian artist Maria de Lima, was chosen to illustrate Bucked Up Space, which Void describes as "a distorted reality, the space that lives at start of an idea, then floats in public view, before returning to inform my understanding of the idea. Once the idea is out in the world, it moves and morphs into something else entirely."

Written, performed and produced by Nik Colk Void, the album was engineered by James Greenwood, mastered by Rashad Becker and tracks 1, 4, 5, 7 and 9 were mixed by Marta Salogni.

Bucked up Space is the result of the ideas and resulting sounds of free exploration morphing into a personal structured album that fearlessly moulds patience, listening and restraint. It's a sharp focussed work embracing collective action through the lens of the self. All this, and also one of the best abstract dance records you will hear in some time!

After a brief hiatus, the Oscilla Sound outfit return with a four-track EP from SPE:C and Well Street artist Significant Other. Residing in Brooklyn via the UK, the emerging artist is an intriguing producer whose releases on Darwin’s SPE:C and Fold’s Well Street Records label, along with his regular Club Night Club event, have provided refreshing sonic experiences to lovers of hybrid steppers, deep atmospheres and exploration.

‘Club Aura’ sees Significant Other team up with the UK imprint Oscilla Sound following exciting 12’s from E-Unity and Wilhelm back in 2017, which left a lasting impression on the dynamic, broken techno scene. ‘Club Aura’ is an obscure yet dreamy number featuring lazy low frequency plucks, an inviting sax line and wave-inspired ambience while ‘Mike’s Gone Back To Manchester’ lays focus on pulsating stabs, cold, syncopated percussion fused with shattering synths that patiently develop throughout.

On the flip, ‘Little Blue Pills’ makes way for undulant, rhythmic drums, stirring modulations and dub-tinged echoes paying homage to sound system culture, until ‘Drum Therapy’ takes it up a notch with blistering, breaky grooves, a sharp, meandering bassline and chaotic yet thrilling experiments in this scintillating, peak-time cut. ‘It’s warm inside the rave’.

Junction Forest is back with its second Shroom, this time by the well named notorious Wesphalian trance duo.. Trancesetters Of Westphalia.

3 trippy cuts coming right from the heart of the woods,
Pulse of The Trees is before all the untold stories of what is happening when the forest sleeps,
what can't be seen but be sensed,
what can't be conceived but be felt,
what is being concocted deep inside the woodland, beneath the brambles, where the sunlight barely makes its way through, where the darkest things happen...

During the pandemic shut down of 2020 we became absorbed and obsessed by one record in particular. That record, released digitally via Mexico City label N.A.A.F.I., was ‘Get Free’ by TYGAPAW, which features multidisciplinary artist Mandy Harris Williams. A complete body of work intersecting their musical and cultural roots, this is an 11-track collection of hard-hitting, cathartic energy, exploring black joy, the active dismantling of imagined limitations, and the eradication of self doubt using techno landscapes.

Upon learning that there was no plan to release the record on vinyl we started a conversation about making that happen on Mister Saturday Night Records.

Two years later and through numerous pressing delays we are honored to announce the belated release on two slabs of orange vinyl and updated artwork.

Full squad in action with 4 tracks that give colors and taste and fully describe vibes and sonorities of the decadence party!

2022 is very special for Illegal Alien Records, the label turned 15 years old this year and we have a full schedule line up of incredible and very special releases with many great artists.

This is a 6 part series celebrating the 15 Years of Illegal Alien Records and includes a total of 60 exclusive tracks. We immensely thank all the great artists involved in this project for joining us in this celebration and contributing with their music to make this release very special. Over the years, some of the artists in this Compilation have already been part of our history, but some of them are joining us for the first time to be part of new chapters in our journey.

The first full ep on credo by folker zwart from amsterdam, and here we go with some modern techno amusement like a fresh breeze and showcasing the talent in here. while all the shades are undoubtly focussed on the dancefloor shade 1 is probably the most peaktime-like approach while shade 2 creates an amazing atmosphere with its pure and clean pads and sounddesign. shade 3 even crosses some slightly jazzy path and alltogether a perfect definition of the credo idea to present colors and not only shades.

Goli Mj, es el artista canario que encontramos en estos dos proyectos.

Funeral cave es Goli + Erik, nos trasladan a unas composiciones ancestrales repletas de grabaciones de campo sintetizadas y exprimidas para hacernos entrar en paisajes a caballo entre un IDM más seco fluyendo en un trance más próximo al electro.

En fábrica de ratas, Goli deja expresar toda su visceralidad en temas con un IDM más crudo próximo a un electro con raíces punk, dejando entrever su lado enfocado a la pista de baile.

No way to avoid the one !

Acid Trascore at 150 BPM, A kicker between Hackney Road style and French Harder stuff... A rare style from surrounding the Molekül Familly !

Don't miss : future legend !

Mental techno Material

Speedcore/Industrial Hardcore speed... playing 45 like a pitiless psychedelic kicker... Extreme sweet for an extreme thinlace of textures.

Splendid visual / Concept of an Icy Planet called... Neptune.
Printed sleeve - LTD 180 Copies

'Costellazioni' is the name of the new and awaited No Way Records vinyl release for the beginning of 2019. It's an Ep composed by two pieces signed by Kryss Hypnowave and two remixes created by Claudio PRC and Sicarius Hahni. The originals are two tracks of hypnotic and liquid techno, tribute to the glorious Rising High production. Ursa Major, in the powerful remix of Claudio PRC (The Gods Planet label founder) takes on a deeper and more nocturnal connotation, a cutting diamond for finest dancefloors, while Sicarius Hahni (pupil of No way Records) rework Hydra, making it glide in a field of blooming strawberries.

Electronic dreamer Mattia Prete opens 2022 with “Life Is Waiting” on the Faith Disciplines label. His six track offering lands this year and is another mesmerising trip to the outer edges of the techno world.

Superb 170 BPM freetekno acid EP from Stannik and Miltatek.
East France dancefloor killer Milytatek delivers here 2 collabs and 2 solos.
Underground Spaces, the first tune is a 170 BPM chanting acid. Superb.
Troubles Auditifs, the second tune, brings a 166 BPM nostalgic at the core-limit track, melodious acid Electronica sensitive music...

La Colère De La Meute, solo track from Miltatek is a twirling loops tune supported by an icy acid thrumpet. The kick is a loud bassy thing, stable tune with no crazy excitation. Nice one !
For the finish, Miltatek brings Eternity. Once again a stable tune more based on a melody rather than on high acid ear-killer. Nostalgic on the tone,.. Super dancefloor on the kick... and icy Acid on the pickles :)

BIG ONE !!

by the time sewer sender had their inaugural appointment, nokato nomer found his way to the assembly right as remnants from the pulsing waste conformed. with SSNDR002 we make acquaintance with nokato nomer who establish his granular sound with a clear vision. A1 is a steady paced roller with a primary chord that resonates throughout the entire release. A2 expands this notion by widening the soundscape and opens up for an introspective passage while B1 finds it's way home with a long running dub version of A1 the flip side.

Absolute Bangers ! Electro Hard Techno in its pure hard shape !
