After already contributing a remix to our first release, Border One returns to Escapism with the EP "Restive". The up-and-coming Belgian producer and DJ manages to connect hypnotic grooves and dancefloor vibes on two original cuts. Cassegrain and Phara are on remix duty, finessing the originals with their unique take on techno.

Aymeric is proud to present his brand new These Tasty Records imprint with a bomb 5-tracker, and who better than the founder himself to produce it alongside Cesare Muraca?

Kicking off the A-side, Cesare goes deep into the realms of ravey caves followed by Aymeric's spookier electro melodies reminding us of his home, 'La Relève'.

The flipside goes on with a housey bomb by Muraca guaranteed to get a crowd jumping, then closing with Aymeric's yin and yang, composed of one funky banger and a slow breakbeat progressive tune to end things in beauty.

Badass !!!!

Patrick Conway is made of snips and snails and puppy tails. This is his second offering for the ESP Institute. On side A, Hypersocial removes our minds from the daily online cesspool and pulls up emotions we haven’t felt for almost a year. We lost a Summer of dancing together en masse in clubs, fields, warehouses and pubs, but with this beautiful reminder of what true social synergy and collective ecstasy can physically feel like, the Bristolian by way of Berlin hits the nail right on the head (with a little help from his friends Quantum Thomas & Hoyahelper). Lush strings? Tick. Balmy chord progression? Tick. Ethereal vocal chops? Walloping bassline? Infectious rhythm? Goosebumps? Tears of joy? Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick! On the flip-side, Safety Test is surely the tougher counterpart, the warm fuzzies are traded for a ten ton bag of grit. Here, Patrick foreshadows a sonic approach we’ll hear lot more of with his debut album early next year; a combination of abrasive rhythms, processed scraps, a grab bag of stabbing bleeps and bloops, distant car alarms, ballistic fax machines, and an arsenal of low frequencies so brutal your woofers will require jumper cables. So, a heroic slab for both a block party in your brain and sunset in your soul, these two songs will bring back the Summer you just lost.

Psyk latest EP on non series gets remixed by Peter Van Hoesen, Shifted and Neel.

Tekvision Volume 1 was a stone cold classic, with Rolling Stone charting it at #3 in their top 20 EDM records of 2017. Two years on, Cornelius ‘Traxman’ Ferguson returns with the second instalment, featuring 7 exceptional new Footwork productions. Traxman is a bonafide OG, with a discography dating back to the halcyon era of Ghetto House in the late 80’s and early 90’s. 30 years on, Traxman is a revered figure in Chicago’s urban music scene, having presided over the evolution from Ghetto House to Juke and from Juke to Footwork culture. Originally released in 1989, Work Dat Mutha Fucker by Steven Poindexter is considered to be one of the most influential tracks from the early days of Ghetto House. Traxman remixes it brilliantly on this release, reworking the stripped back, minimalist drum beat of the original into an upfront Footwork pattern. This sense of continuity is equally evident on Let Me See You Naked feat. DJ Juicy, and Traxman’s remix of To Da Hoooz by DJ Deeon. These productions successfully capture the sexual energy and exuberance of Ghetto House, turbo charged at 160 BPM. Elsewhere on the record, Traxman explores different moods whilst always keeping the dance floor firmly in mind. The opening track It’s Lasting Bass lays an infectious vocal harmony over complex drum patterns and a fearsome bassline. Osaka opens with mellow, sultry keys before introducing a wobbling synth and diced up Orchestal samples. 4 Da Lyfe is a soulful and slightly more meditative track, with a vocal loop expressing solidarity and self-affirmation. Wildcard feat. Jana Rush, stands alone as the only track without a vocal element, instead utilising a piercing and insistent synth to create a powerful sonic intensity. Overall this is triumphant record, and a worthy successor to the original Tekvision release, proving once again that Traxman is an unrivalled exponent of MPC-driven footwork energy.

Vatican Shadow ist das Techno-Projekt des Multimediakünstlers Dominick Fernow. Melodische Loops und martialisch-zerklüftete Rhythmen stehen finsteren und bestechenden Ambiencen gegenüber. Als Vatican Shadow bringt Fernow eine Körperlichkeit und feierliche Energie ein, die im Techno rar ist. Seine hypnotischen Ambientmelodien werden konterkariert von donnernden Drumschlägen – ein Ausdruck der Furcht und Furchtlosigkeit, die seine Musik speisen. Sein neues Album und Debüt bei dem sonst im Metal ansässigen Label 20BuckSpin wird Vatican Shadow endgültig auch den Industrial-Metal Fans näher bringen.

A trippy machine for some, a warmchine for others... I.N.D. Melodies melt down in a perfect way with the 1NC1N ones. Both are very into thins kind of classical background... With I.N.D maybe we have a bit more of beat experimentations, kind of a light kicker, maybe less technoid, what 1NC1N totally capture for a better dancefloor effect. Superb tune motivating and clearly.. again... thanks for the visual !

Tamed is proud to introduce the debut EP of Pyramid Lake, a new project from sample wizard Nautiluss! Three panoramic tracks that see the canadian producer venturing in more soulful territories with his unmistakable groove and his knack for catchy details.

DUBWAX is proud to present the LP of Star_Dub called "A space in Between". He caught our attention after releasing strong dub techno ep's on his own STARDUB Imprint in the last 4-5 years. In 2015 we signed him for DUBWAX and he delivered the "DUBADU FILES" EP (DUBWAX005). Now it's time to present a overview about his productions in LP format. These days its hard to stand out between all those "basic channelish" Dub copys artists so we are more than happy that there are a few guys like him out in the scene who deliver their own interpretation of modern dub tech music. More infos soon!

This is a Guitar hero story, playing 45 ! Full of Breakcore, hardcore and more !!! LTD Bull !

"Various Artists - Divide & Rule" album split.

After Recouvrance, it is the second time that Epione records releases the first vinyl record of a young newcomer in French techno. Victoria 52 is a producer from Angers. Ever supported by Laurent Garnier, Dax J or The Advent, he incarnates well the renewal of French techno scene. His techno is deep and powerful but never falls in ease and suggests a large pallet of emotions. It is certainly banging and efficient but never linear and with a great sensibility and subtility.

Redemption EP opens on an hypnotic banging track that melt skillfully beautiful pads influenced by Detroit techno and powerful kicks. With Victoria 52, we always navigate between shadows and light, strength and emotion.
Departure is definitely more dancefloor orientated. With a powerful blast, it nevertheless keeps the melodic side of the first track.
Trunkline remix is a breake interpretation of Departure with an obsessive rythm. It brings a radically different style of techno at the EP.

Spatium adopts a far more steady tempo. More agressive, with acid accents, it is nevertheless a quite trippy track.

Pumpin OQP FKY style baby ! Magic repress happy sound !

Parisian DJ, Producer and Elixyr Records label boss AIROD returns to Amelie Lens' Lenske for his third EP on the label. Following 2019's 'Rave Cycle' and 'Voltage' EP's, this year's LP on Molekul and appearances at some of Europe's most revered clubs and showcases including the EXHALE event series, the Frenchman has proven himself as a dominant force in today's techno scene.

'Assassin's Walk' welcomes us with rolling kicks and looping sirens accompanied by foreboding synths that orchestrate a deep sense of tension. As these fade, explosive drums perturb the peace again with the addition of a wavering acid line and incessant hi-hats that conjure urgency and pure exhilaration. Returning to the familiar AIROD sound we've been acquainted with is 'Topaz', employing pounding kick drums, jolting sirens and an indiscernible cut up vocal sample to engage listeners into an ambient delirium. Sharp white noise slices through the resounding beat in a rhythmic assault after the first drop and characterize the remainder of the track.

Title track Venom is imitative of its name with a malicious crescendo and striking electro-esque keys. Though this cut has an electro-feel, AIROD manages to retain the booming kicks and ominous atmosphere created in earlier tracks. We're rewarded with a swift change of pace with 'Enchantment', a delicate mantra that steps away from the usual toughness of AIROD's sound, but does so without compromising on intensity. Major chords ring out, constituting overwhelming feelings of lightness and joy, with heavy drums sitting comfortably under euphoric pads. Echoing hi-hats and a fleeting vocal gradually submerge into the drawn out keys to close on a feeling of elation.

Corpus is a record label emerged from the dungeons of Berlin. The latest addition to its growing body of work is dubbed Charade & Masquerade. As an industry first, Corpus brings together on wax the iconic Developer and surging Setaoc Mass. These truly stellar remixes are accompanied by their respective originals - one forged by Arma, the other crafted by Kan.

James Bangura debuts on Mister Saturday Night Records with a six track ep of diverse sounds and emotions.

From the far off sounds of drum 'n' bass absorbed through headphones in Alabama and onto his first experiences of parties during the blog house Ed Banger era whilst living in California, all the while hearing the sound of New York house sound at home, this is the sound of an artist taking it all in.

We present you three remixes from Kaiserdisco's recent Another Dimension album on Tronic.
Adana Twins skillfully reworked Varuna keeping the intensity while adding their touch to it. Andre Crom delivers a nice and dark remix of Orcus, while Aitor Ronda supplied his chunky and powerful interpretation of Hydra.

A maelstrom, the chaos, a vortex, a turmoil. These are appropriate words to describe the hard work of the prolific French producer.

With a cryptic history incorporating nearly two decades of aliases and side projects born out of free parties in warehouses, fields and basements, it is under this moniker that the artist has truly come into his own.

His skill and vision spanning from 135 bpm wave powerful to a pensive and subtle ambient track, Maelstrom's sonic universe is both precise and limitless, described better by feeling ('approaching storm over river/horse with the bit in its teeth/sliver of moon') than genre. Maelstrom cofounded the label RAAR in 2015 with frequent collaborator Louisahhh where he released his debut album «Her Empty Eyes» in 2017. Throughout the next 2 years, he has delivered exciting collaborations with cutting edge electro imprints such as CPU and Cultivated Electronics in the UK, Private Persons in Moscow, or Mechatronica in Berlin, while playing an all electro live set in clubs and raves, from Paris to London or Tokyo.

2021 will see the release of his second album, Rhizome, with a focus on the concepts of interdependence and creative ecosystems

The fourth record in the Exit Planet Earth series features four more exclusive cuts designed for space travel.A

Exit Planet Earth - Hydrogen opens with no-nonsense electro from a master of the trade Sync 24 from Cultivated Electronics. 'The Rising' is an expertly produced bass heavy heater that is crying out to be played on a big rig. Representing Athe Melbourne chapter of the Lizard Tech Militia Reptant teams up with Dashiell for a mutant hybrid electro funk cut - 'Gortexia'.A

On the flip Moroccan heavy hitter Kosh returns to 20/20 Vision following his debut EPl 'Vicious Love'. Kosh offers up an intoxicating blend of deep melodic electro called 'Chaos in the City'. Wrapping the release up is James Shinra returning after his killer 'On & On' EP. Shinra rounds up this edition with an outstanding, unique composition 'Launch' that balances trademark melodies with a truly devastating distorted kick heavy reminiscent of classic Aphex Twin.

It has been a little over a year since the release of 747's debut album, in which the Canadian masterfully drew notes of inspiration from the 90s to create an enchanting hour-long dream. In his first EP since, 747 returns from a temporal leap, bringing with him a blend of sounds and expressions to forge a timeless trip which hinges on the sounds of the 303.

Opening the release, "you,you" unfolds with a gentle and shimmery padded ambiance of anticipation. Gentle and light-footed percussion is soon interrupted by a dramatic siren, a warning beacon. Frenetic energy ensues, a frantic rush to the floor met with a cloudy head. Encompassed in an envelope of disorienting wailing and intermittent buzzing, but finally grounded by the familiarity of a 4/4 bass drum.

"Does Anybody Remember Laughter?" steps in to relinquish the force of gravity. The animated arpeggio and gleaming singing acid line rise up, uncovering the kaleidoscopic nature of the structural surroundings.

"While My 303 Gently Weeps" divulges further, exposing an underlying grid of dark geometry - binary and robotic. The topology of surfaces becomes increasingly fractalized, until the solo overtakes with a somber sadness. The 303 notes guide the mind on a melancholic and meditative walk along the grand staff, met after the break with a sense of hope and serenity.

To close, "You Missed the Starting Gun" recounts the journey through a twisting mesh of thoughts: sorrow and actualization. A calming hypnotic presence is felt. Stability ensues - an afterglow.

Alex Jann comes to Infiltrate having already sown his febrile brand of electro around labels like Censor and Unknown To The Unknown. He's sounding fierce and fired up on "Moderated Lies", all slamming b-lines and strafing sound FX. "Least Resistance" is a slower, creepier number, while "Propeller" brings things back up to a seriously high tempo for the paciest electro spinners to get fresh with. "Logicphrenia" smacks somewhere in the middle, dropping the kind of hi-tech sound you'd expect from Silicon Scally. Classy stuff indeed.

For that new split of the series, we decided to honour a country that has always been a fantastic provider of acid sounds, from Den Haag electro to acidcore. Both based in Nederlands, Camera Security (half of Acidolido) and WaveBndr (alias of Collision) deliver here four tracks of mental and ravey techno that will delight all 303 addicts !

Giammarco Orsini & Pancratio take us on the first trip to Avyon.

We program the time machine to take us to 1999 with this new EP from INVŌKER. Based in Paris, the Frenchman specialises in nuanced me- lodic electronica that delivers absorbing rhythmic energy, cerebral enchantment and spiritual alignment all at once. This four-tracker sees him move through a variety of moods, while holding true to his distinct sound from start to end, while DC Salas steps up for remix duties.

Every comment is useless ... the story of Electronic Techno is now re-issued Remastered on Flash Forward! 30th anniversary Black Edition with black vinyl, blackand black insert

« As we fought Iron Giants » is Moteka debut album on the french techno label Skryptom It’s a 12 tracks travelling between electronica and techno weapons.

Once upon a time in a distant place and in a distant time, lived a boy named Leon. Leon grew up in a land where legends of past battles between humans and machines, lead by the fierce TCX2290, were strong. It was said victory of the humans over the robots was conducted by the mighty General Ostkröf III. Leon did not go along well with the other children, and spent most of his time alone, exploring the country side, imagining he was the General fighting for human survival. One day, he discovered remains of what seemed to be a hidden sleeping robot, and accidentally triggered its awakening. It was not long before a small army of these Iron Giants were marching towards Leon’s village. Caught in a limbo, Leon had no idea what to do. He tried to stop them but was wounded during the first encounter. Recovering from his wounds, General Ostkröf III appeared to him in his dreams, and taught him the secret of the Smart Weapon. Eventually, the Iron Giants were defeated by Leon and his Smart Weapon during a final confrontation. Peace was back, but nobody never knew that Leon was their savior, for everything was just part of his imagination. 

« As we fought Iron Giants » is the soundtrack to the story of ourselves not wanting to leave childhood and fighting imaginary demons, as we grow into adults. Music in itself is a mean of therapy and channeling the tremendous amount of one’s imagination. 

The fifth installment of the Curtis Electonix saga is a deep sea exploration from the italian duo 3KZ. 7 underwater trips into their cosmic abyss of snapping 808 beats, tidal bass lines, dreamy ambient pads and complex synth works that will lead you in this alien ocean full of human feelings emerging from deep down beneath.

With part 4 of the Astra Spectra series, we’re excited to have BinaryFunction showcasing three intense and dark electro cuts. The iconic Carl Finlow delivers a stunning remix of “We Will Destroy”

Pressed on a limited run of orange vinyl, the color and name of the EP correspond to Sodium on the Fraunhofer Absorption Spectrum of our sun.

Stefan Weise aka Syrte envisioned the “Astra Spectra” series as a celebration of mankind’s vision for space exploration, past and future, while also expressing a love for space science, science fiction and the spirit of discovery. Each release in the series is representative of a color frequency in our sun’s absorption spectrum and the element which is represented by that, hence the name, which means “Solar Spectrum”.

Mike Golding marks his first appearance on Analogical Force with an EP full of emotive and acidic electronics. A dreamy journey towards fragility and the ephemeral. Simply sublime from a true master.

The Hanover based Label Malonian returns with their 3rd release "Calimero EP" by the german producer-team Fusal. In addition to the 2 tracks there is a locked groove, called Dalailoop on the record. Based on friendships, which started in Mamaia.

Banger techno from brittany !

London Modular Alliance make their CE debut with the 'Stray EP' for Cultivated Electronics Ltd (CE's vinyl-only sister label) in February. London Modular Alliance is a collective that lies somewhere between a shop and a cult. From their base in the former industrial warehouses of Hackney Wick, London Modular have been designing their own cases, working out practical ways of chaining multiple synths for live performance, selling units from their shop front, and taking themselves on the road to run workshops and gigs. From the lazer-lit confines of sweaty clubs to the hushed environs of Tate Britain and the V&A, they fill spaces with the whoosh and sweep of man co-operating with machine, bringing the dynamics of dance music to the ideals of modular synthesis, and forcing anyone with ears to acknowledge the potency of the format once more. With them, the sound of the future has returned. The EP includes three intricately crafted modular Electro tracks from LMA, featuring soaring melodies and dappled beats that manage to extract depth and soul out of machines, alongside a punchy remix by Sync 24 that delivers a tough metallic groove to close the release.

Sandhu reaches the third stage with an EP that includes three tracks: on side A "Black Hole" is a powerful hammer with strong Chigago contamination that leaves little space for romanticism, while "Hunt-em" moves like a wave, dark and sensual that brings us to the depths of Techno.
New in this third volume is the presence of the duo Hinode on the side B, where we find a long hypnotic hike on futuristic scenarios: Here the machines are in control and do the dance.

Brilliant ISotonic Ci=urves are back with a new EP !

Superb killaz from Outtaspace...

'The Other Side of Darkness' is a collaborative album from 36 and awakened souls. The project began with James (awakened souls) sending Dennis (36) a few bass loops he made and quickly evolved into a collaborative project with Cynthia (awakened souls) as well.

After several releases on labels like Bar25, Microtonal, Dantze and Etui Records End Of Tape finally hit the box with their Tape Jam EP.

These guys don´t talk with each other, they just do music and that´s the best. The result of this gone wrong musician friendship (but tight producer team at the same time) you can celebrate with this EP.

This is no snow from yesterday, it´s the musical climatic change of tomorrow - without any opportunity. Played & supported by Paco Osuna, Anderson Noise, Lexy, Electric Rescue, Beatamines, Gabriel Ananda, Piemont, Carlo Lio, Markus Kavka and many more.

third blueten release for the barcelona-berlin connection from gimenö and stefan helmke with three dub/break/techno sounds ! vinyl only !

Jos & Eli might seem unknown to many electronic music lovers but they have been releasing great music since 2013. They have been sending me music for a long time and I think we have spend about a year developing this first release on Noir Music, making sure it represented their debut on the label perfectly. When you hear the Adrenaline Hunt release you will notice that the 2 guys from Tel-Aviv have developed into a great production team over the years and these 3 tracks included here are not only cleverly crafted for the deeper dancefloors but can also be enjoyed on home stereo's. Opener 'Obscured Mind' features immense vocal-work by Jinadu and the song is wrapped in delicious and constantly intensified deephouse flavours whereas 'Initiation' has a more tribal, dubby and africanism edge to it. On the title track 'Adrenaline Hunt' which we build the EP aound things get a little more tech, darker and closer to what you would typically expect from Noir Music. Not only am I always excited to have new artists and talents on the label but I feel Jos & Eli bring a new dimension to Noir Music as well.

5th one from the MOi camp. 180 Grams black vinyl only.

Oliver Schories is returning to 8Bit Records after a year - with the Monza EP.

Hamburg-based Oliver has been a welcome addition to the Germany house community for more than a decade now. After his latest album, Paradigm, and a collaboration with Jan Blomqvist in the summer of 2020, new original music will be out in January 2021 on Gorge’s and Nick Curly’s 8 Bit imprint.

Opening with the title track, ‘Monza’, a stab-led groove evolves organically adding nuanced layers and a rubbery bass. Warm and inviting, the piano in the first break creates a welcomed tension against the muted vocal ad libs. On the flipside, ‘Levo’ begins with more low end grunt. Melodics develop with time and form the main groove hypnotising the listener before chord sweeps and whispered vocals add warmth and musical depth.

After a couple of great remixes for Noir Music Robert S (PT) delivers his first solorelease on the label and I am proud to present these three
amazing originals and two remixes courtesy of Drumcell and The
Advent. Robert and I have been compiling this release over several months and put together what we felt was a really strong 3-tracker. We have been testing the tracks in the clubs around the world making sure we had compiled the perfect release and we are both super happy with the end-result. On top of that we reached out to Drumcell and The Advent for remixes and they both delivered fantastic takes on the “Exoplanets” track.

After releasing exclusively for Touch Music UK, Sohrab delivers this long awaited EP on Shahr Farang.

Float Records first vinyl release is a fact. And what could be better then divide it in 2 parts. The first output reflects the second. Label owners TWR72 presents you 'Reflect'.
The 1st remix comes from Berlin based Markus Suckut. A subtle angle is taken on Reflect which makes the remix feel sustainable. Just the perfect remix to include in his impeccable oeuvre. All the way from Finland is analog devotee Samuli Kemppi, who takes care of the 2nd remix. Samuli creates a sudden tension with builds up until the very end. A001, from Amsterdam, turns the original Reflect into a obscure remix with an perplexing 2nd half. A001's mysterious and quiet appearance is a paradox compare to his musical output. TWR72 closes the EP with the bonus track 'Response'. A solid and barbarous answer to Reflect. No words are further needed.

Freund der Familie invite Christopher Rau, Pole, Roger Gerressen and Van Bonn to remixes cuts from their 2018 ‘Panorama’ EP this February.
Leipzig, Germany’s Freund der Familie, the producer and label name, has long been respected in the world of raw, underground house and techno. The past decade has seen the founders Klaus Rakete & Mirko Hunger unveil a number of releases under the alias,
exploring a wide range of styles influenced by dub, leftfield electronica and much more.
Here the label revisits the ‘Panorama’ EP from a few years back, welcoming remixes from some esteemed artists in the industry.
Christopher Rau returns on remix duties following his take on Symbian for FDF005 and also FDFALFA01, this time round Rau delivers a hazy take on ‘PRS’ driven by raw analogue drums, woozy synths and winding subs. Dub master and Scape mastering head
honcho Pole steps up next with his take on ‘CRM’, delivering a typically intricate twist employing expansive swells, snappy percussion and swirling low end tones.
Irenic boss Roger Gerressen delivers his take on ‘PRS’ next, taking a more groove-driven feel with stripped-back drums, ethereal pad textures and crisp bass stabs before Van Bonn wraps up the package, reworking ‘CRM’ with a heavily swung drum groove,
menacing synth flutters and a dynamic, ever-evolving feel.

Kaiser is introducing his own imprint with a vigorous EP. Banging, psychedelic and drone techno. Four tracks destined to the vinyl plus two tracks as digital bonus.

It's very hard not to be impressed by the immersive sound design of dutch producer Makam. Glacial Valley is a proper dub techno track that keep inspiring many producers and DJ's even 10 years after it was released. It's simply one of those tracks that sound big and balanced on any sound system. On the flip, Clearings is another highlight!! 15th Anniversary reissue - white vinyl collectors edition.

Cosmic Waves was first released on Pariter back in 2010. The original track is a timeless Detroit groover that conquered many dance floors over the years. Hypnotic rhythm that can be easily compared to Maurizio and other timeless classics. Delano Smith and XDB with two excellent remixes on the B side. A brilliant must have release and perhaps one of the biggest on Sushitech's sub label Pariter. 15th anniversary reissue - white vinyl collectors edition.

Following their hugely well-received, refreshingly outlandish debut EP for Phantasy, Israeli club outsiders Red Axes return to the label with another three-track delight of leftfield dance entitled 'Sound Test'. Debuting on Phantasy in 2018, 'Sipoor' by Red Axes was massive.

The release received critical acclaim, not to mention heavy support within the club realm from DJs like Call Super, Jennifer Cardini, Ewan Pearson, Fort Romeau, Massimiliano Pagliara, Chloe, and many more.

Highly soughtafter by those who've heard Erol Alkan unleash it in recent months, 'Sound Test' kickstarts Phantasy Sound's 2019 - a rolling tool for a dance floor sliding into another dimension, constructed around a dramatic, numeric countdown.

A minimal, skeletal build builds hroughout to one of the most out-there breakdowns in recent rave-blotted memory, as the Axes slowly but surely rebuild their house to even more outlandish new proportions.

'Shabak Shalom' quickly snatches the record back from outer space and drags it deep into the basement, zoning in on the gritter, strobe-ready sound that defines the duo's most club-ready work.

All of the Axes' weapons of choice are deployed as unusually as per usual; militant drums, battered electronics, fucked- frequencies, wiry post-punk guitar lines and lovingly drowned traditional instruments blend to create their own special, slightly-menacing interpretation of hi-NRG.

Finally, on the unapologetically sprawling and immediately effective closing number, 'Kookoo Pa-pa', Red Axes demonstrate their inherent talent, if proof were ever needed, of conjuring rolling, simmering tension in otherworldly shades. Those who enjoyed the cartoonish motor FX of 'Teroof' will be delighted to find themselves found into an even wackier race this time round, hitting on the origins of Chicago jack, acid meltdowns and screeching no-wave.

Crazy superb tunes of a kind... As usual POureAnalog dig the Chanting acid complexity...
Defenitly a pure creation... Dancefloor and generous in sounds !!!

BIG UP !

Anz makes her Hessle Audio debut with a club-ready three track EP, following releases on the label by Pearson Sound and Pangaea in July. Lead track 'Loos In Twos (NRG)' goes turbo, with a ruffneck bassline, clattering breakbeats and dramatic rave stab breakdowns all combining to memorable, killer effect. On the B side, 'Gary Mission' gets loose with disorientating flanged FX and a wriggling low end, with the minimal beat track 'Stepper' using sharp vocal snippets and chest-rattling sub to light up the dance.

Anz is a DJ and Producer based in Manchester (via London, Liverpool and Madrid). Renowned for her genre-spanning productions and mixes, she unearths the links between Electro, UK Garage, Jungle and more, underpinning a versatile take on contemporary UK club music that is as bright as it is unpredictable.

Repress of the very first raggatek Power ! The baser of the label.

The "Night Without Stars EP" marks the long-awaited solo return to Dynamic Relfection for Deepbass. Drenched in his driving but melodic signature style, Deepbass delivers a two-piece killer cut, ready to transport its listeners to a dark spaced-out world beyond. Topped off by a tripping remix by fellow Glaswegian Edit-Select, this fiery EP is sure to light up even the darkest nights.

First release on the new Copenhagen imprint, featuring tracks by DJ IBON, Lund&R?nde and Stealth Boys, all from the local BunkerBauer crew. The release consists of three fast and trance infused tracks for the floor, and makes a contribution to the current flowering of Copenhagen dance music. BunkerBauer is a DJ and producer collective, and has been a central institution in the Copenhagen techno scene for several years. All tracks are produced in the BunkerBauer studios which is located in an old bunker from world war 2, in the centre of the city. On the A side there is DJ Ibons driving rhythms and dark trance leads, followed by an insisting groover by Stealth Boys. The B side contains Lund&R?ndes wax debut; an uplifting and symphonic banger, that will stick in your head for days.

Following up his debut release on SOEX, Whitvoir welcomes local Warrandyte producer Jon Jones to the label launch with ‘Airflow.’ A four track expedition through the environments that we call home in Australia, native birds and wildlife simulate a listening experience similar to that of a day spent in God’s country. Organic, ‘Outback Trance’ produced to suit all listening environments around the globe.

Mystic jungle is a percussive journey that transports you straight to the bush, suiting barefoot groovers warming up for the day. Dubbed out 80s synths paired with organic percussions bring a tribal feel grabbing attention with spaced out native bird calls. Mystic Jungle’s solid groove and big chuggy bass lines are guaranteed to have you in an ‘Australiana’ dream trance like state.

Transupial brings an airy tribal groove, choppy and boppy with a wubby 303 that keeps the track moving along. Pitched kalimbas bring a quirky flavour which gets deep and dystopian as the track progresses. ‘Totally Wild.’ The title track ‘Airflow’ is a captivating atmospheric journey through space, delicate deep and dubby suited for dancefloors around the globe. Rolling breaks, natural percussion paired with a chuggy 303 bass line and pan flute from an 80s Roland Synth capture a new flavour of Australian dance music.

Phantom spirit picks up the pace encouraging the ones and twos, washy hats, rolling kicks and 80s toms sprinkled throughout bring character to Jone’s production. Trancey synth lines with airy vocals bring the spirit of the phantom to life, paired with a wavy 303 line keeping the track ever-evolving. One to keep your ear out for at festivals around the world over the coming seasons.

To understand where 'The Attic' came from, we have to go back to one of my oldest memories: watching Der Phantastische Film on German tv. The movies that left the deepest marks on me were the ones that zoomed in on the possible bad sides of technology and predicted the downfall of mankind. A next personal cornerstone was Tubeway Army's 'Are 'friends' electric', from 1979: it was the first time I was blown away by the sound of synths. It felt so new, an expression of the perversity of technology through music. The song was about androids who seduced humans in order to rape them. The shortcomings of human beings transported to technology. It was machines turning against humanity. It wasn't like Kraftwerk who were very first degree, unpersonal and too clean.

I was an early adopter of home computers, but the instruments and studio stuff to make music were still out of my reach in the early eighties. So when sampling came along, for me it was not only an important change in sound image, but it opened up all these possibilities too. And then finally, in the mid-eighties - I was working in the military - people started selling their hardware to make the switch to digital. I bought loads of old gear and started experimenting with sound. It was around the time when the whole new beat thing exploded in Belgium. I despised it. To me they were yuppies with smileys plundering a subculture, shitting out one bland record after another... At the time I was listening to B-2 Unit by Sakamoto, or the weird electropop of YMO. That's probably where my idea of techno was shaped: this idea of electronics mixed with the German Bauhaus school, or with abstract Malevich paintings.

I quit the army around 1990, and shortly thereafter I had a dark dream that caused me to make 'The Attic'. I was in the attic of a house. It felt magical, but there was a sense of underlying danger. I looked up and the roof came off and started to dissolve, and I heard voices with bird like frequencies calling from the cosmos: 'come with us, come with us.' Maybe it was about the deification of technology Anyway, the image and the feeling of the dream were so vivid I transcribed them to music in maybe two days.

When the demo was finished, we went straight to Boccaccio and handed it to Olivier Pieters, who immediately played it. 'The Attic' went on to become one of the signature songs for which they switched on the big lasers. It started to live its own life: I heard it in shopping streets in Amsterdam, it was blazing from cars, it was huge in Germany after the wall fell, etc.

I quickly realized the music business wasn't something for me though: all these people with their profiling urge, the bootlegs, the fact that music got pushed into formats ... In retrospect, I was part of a scene without really taking part in it.

Melly's banger and a Keja Mentalcore tune...

Superb Ep coming with inserts and stickers.

For the ninth instalment of the Konstrukt Series it is Samuel van Dijk's moniker Mohlao that graces the spot with a five track minimalistic exploration of the deep electronic realm. Targeting the fiction of a journey through metropolitan areas during nightfall, Mohlao's sound gives us comfort and stimulates our dream-state awareness. The environments that appear are real, yet we are more than passive observers.

The 4th acid compilation is definitely a collectible! With an explicit track from Eat Static which is produced back in the 90s and has that oldschool goa touch and rave breakbeats - we love it!!! 303 Airline has his tribute on Flatlife with an excellent pounding acid techno banger which can be played loud in clubs. Together on the A-side with DJ Wank; a great acid techno producer from Sweden; pounding driving acid techno. Then last but not least; label owners Jack Wax (Flatlife Records) & Sam C. (Dosis Decibel / Cat in the Bag) team up; with this excellent dark acidcore track "Missing" - which is the 1st track they ever created together!! 4 styles of acid again on 1 vinyl! Enjoy this one!!!

Housed in a label sleeve and comes on solid blue and yellow mixed vinyl.

Tribecore stuff baby... pityless dancefloor Various Artist stuff:)

Barcelona-based artist Cardopusher and french producer La Bile, both known for their breakcore debuts in the 00s, are back with a 6-tracks split EP mixing freaky techno, outlandish electro, kooky jungle... This is acid for weirdos !

Jeremy Hyman steps up to FT with the first of two 12" EPs that are a coordinated blast of colorful, galaxy-edge plastic techno from the master percussionist who moonlights in Lifted, Boredoms, Animal Collective, and more. Always rhythmatic in exciting ways, Hyman's drum programming here is more arms than buttons, injecting a fly human element in the 12". "Slide" does what it says with amazing technoid bass work and a propulsive sense of timing, "Madness" hovers and falls and hovers again, and "Tinted Mirror" is some sort of Foodman-meets-Prescription-Records house symphony, rising and rising and rising. Tip!

Lady Neptune is a state of euphoria. Lady Neptune isn’t real, Lady Neptune is a reality.

Originally formulated in London as a performing alter-ego for nascent singer-songwriter and fashion student Moema Meade, Lady Neptune has been an ongoing work that has evolved from distorted guitar dirges, bass-heavy synth pop music into its current Hi NRG 4am experimental Gabber nadir. New Gorbals Gabber is monstrous and glorious. Informed by goblinzed cave dwelling nu metal aesthetics, cheap ‘n’ nasty instrumentation but above all, peeking like an elvin proboscis around the corner of your mind, is an unstoppable knack for hooks that elevates these compositions to channels for new planes of ecstasy.

Mostly performed live using an Electribe sampler/sequencer with synths, New Gorbals Gabber feels like a live recording at the rave in the final circle of Dante’s Inferno. How much fun does that sound? We’re talking Lucifer’s Manumission, Hanger 666. Meade-as-Neptune is an impish presence, Jekyll and Hyding from dirt-eating goblin to glacial pop supernova Number 1 Angel. Revolution’s bass riff and obscure crowd samples build with a arpeggiated bass synth that swirls around the Hardcore beat, threatening a Bloody Fist-style production yet staying within a dub sound world, heavy delays fading out into the first Pop moment. Twizt introduces Lady Neptune’s vocal processing technique and an unashamed, massive trance synth riff that reeks of foam parties and festivals no one pays into. It falls into Number 1, which borrows from PC Music tropes for a breakneck treatise on self-confidence. It feels deceptively simple, but the music is so intuitive and perfectly executed – mostly honed by playing parties and raves around Glasgow, the drops tease and fall off, it’s just so relentless. Relentlessly, unstoppably, powerfully fun.

Sonic Light is one of 3 big moments on the E.P. Like all great pop music it tears you apart and puts you back together in its own image, it’s so immediate it makes you wonder why music can’t be louder, why can’t you listen to it twice at the same time. Just as you’re waiting for the next chorus it’s finished. Wait, is it only just one chorus for under 2 minutes? Perfect. The worst thing about this music is that it eviscerates you and then leaves you scattered, needing to go out and feel the darkness, feel the fresh hell course through ya and out again. Get 2 Know U is the sound of hell falling away, the final big moment, it’s Sandstorm or SOPHIE, pumped up and angelic, everyone isn’t a star, they’re an angel for someone, for themselves. Why can’t we – that’s every living thing - listen to this song infinity times at the same time, blowing up our consciousness so we merge with all infinity. Lady Neptune, it’s good to know you.

As Morganistic, Luke Slater only released a handful of cuts-but among those was the album Fluids Amniotic, still widely praised today as a benchmark techno long-player. Regularly featuring in the sets of Hood and Mills, Morganistic's dark, rumbling minimalism was, as the album title suggests, the sonic equivalent of being trapped in the murky, viscous fluids of some sinister alien womb.

Slater unearthed the original DAT and reel-to-reel tapes and got them remastered by Matt Colton at Metropolis. Fluids Amniotic will get re-issued both on vinyl and digitally for the first time in 25 years.

Celebrating Osiris' 50th release in two parts, label head Simon Shreeve unveils 'Deep Summer' as the first: a downtempo, vocal-led track with a pace and laid-back vibe not usually associated with his Mønic alias. On the B side, a remix from none other than Burial offers a distinctly smokier take on the track, full of percussive melodies that weave into surprisingly major-chord territory towards the end of the song's ten minutes. This is a release that sees both artists pushing their respective music's preconceptions.

Technorama passes the torch to Finnish producer Samuli Kemppi who's built a solid back catalogue over the last 15 years and in
that time has also become a pioneer of electronic music in Helsinki. His radio show Deep Space Helsinki (Alongside Juho)
developed into one of the cities most popular club nights and also into his shared record label DSH. His debut on Technorama
records brings us 3 slices of dark & groovy techno, including remix from dutch maestro Tripeo aka Darko Esser. Enjoy!

There are some elements in electronic music that make them timeless, elements that if melted together they can give an impressive result, to the mind and to the body. Sawlin - Ursprung is the first album of the career of Sawlin, after his debut in 2010 he evolved like a wonderful orchid, an orchid that never followed the flow of the other flowers around him, but found his own way to the music. Ursprung is the result of an interminable evolution in the mind of the artist, 8 elements that complete a circle built on a very mysterious atmosphere, like a film that you never saw, but you always had in your head, something more bigger then a memory, and something more deep then a picture. This 8 elements are the blueprint of the work that comes from the background of the artist, Deep raw imaginary pictures, mixed with oldschool wallpapers of a new wall based on an old concrete. Sawlin Mix the new to the old in a way that no-one can do, and probably no-one risked to do. This is the power of an artist that needs more attention and more time, you can feel at the first listening that there is something really big going on, but you need time to understand what he wanted to create, meticulous details that he wanted to paint, in a way that we cannot see them at first, but we find them quite impressive after. Sawlin present himself in the most modern way he can, no compromises, he don't want to please you, he want to paint the future. in the most Artistic way possible.
