2 superb 8 minutes tunes... Bassy kickers at 170 BPM on the Snort and 166 on the Aciet. Psychedlic but not that trivcial acid :) BIG chants !

An inspired collaboration which delivers more than the sum of its parts.

Innellea and Kevin De Vries have both broken through in the past couple of years, pushing distinctive, high-energy sounds for the floor. On the ‘Hoffnungsschimmer’ EP, the colourful tones of Innellea’s synth work and Kevin’s hard-hitting drama are a perfect match, resulting in three diverse and unique creations. ‘Das Licht’ and ‘Mondfinsternis’ are both euphoric, peak-time efforts full of stirring elements and forward motion. The title track’s more downtempo atmosphere and breakbeats balance the EP into a rounded whole.

Birmingham's Jayson Wynters makes his second outing for Don't Be Afraid in under a year with four earth-shaking rollers from his Digbeth laboratory.

Across four tracks Wynters neatly surveys the state of the underground house and techno union in the UK and beyond, taking in the stepping, broken rhythms of Beta (Version), the dancefloor annihilation of One Hundred N Forty, and the frantic, Midwest rollage of Into The Void, before concluding on an optimistic note with The Kansei Method.

Also look out for Wynters' Café Artum project which launches in Birmingham soon, bringing a much needed hub for vinyl to the city thanks to last year's successful fundraiser.

This is 4 tracks of multi-talented Michigan composer extraordinaire John Beltran at his dazzling best.

Winter is coming, with 'Archive Tracks 2005-2009' by Newclear Waves as its soundtrack. For the album, Berlin-based and Italian-born producer, DJ and label owner Alessandro Adriani let us dive into the vast archives of his Newclear Waves project. The resulting collection of 8 tracks can be described as minimal wave pur sang, reminiscing of the darkness and doom from the cold war period. The exorbitant and jumpy synth lines and derailing revolving drum machines keep us moving, all analogue of course. With this album, Adriani confirms his musical excellence.

Between Places proudly presents part 1 of a 2 part series from the amazing Obergman. Fresh 'n' deep robotic Electro tracks. Well balanced record and for sure soon in every collection of every Electro Lover. Tip!!!

Shadow Acid follows up breakbeat debut Timescape with The Shadow Acid Files EP.

The mysterious Shadow Acid figure comes back at the end the year to present more of his sound with four new tracks, a remix from Hamburg based duo Extrawelt and a heady resource of locked grooves for vinylist DJs.

Shadow Acid’s sound marries acid futurism and references to the 90s rave, anything goes ethos of the past. It’s a sound that has rightfully earned the enthusiasm of a wave of music fans and DJs across the summer and has been played across BBC6 Music, Rinse FM and the streaming platforms around the world.

For those who missed the highly desirable promo 12” an EP version of the track ‘Timescape’ is included here and an extraordinary Extrawelt remix develops the mechanics of the breakbeat and drops the bass down even to deeper levels than on the driving force of the original. Across new tracks Brainforest, Diode Ladder, Another Chance and Seahawk, Braindance acid is melded with bass, ultimately made with dancing at their core.

Label and event series Courtoisy releases its first EP. Headed and run by the very talented Cynthia Spiering, this label focuses mostly on unknown producers capable of writing quality tracks.

COURTOISY01 is produced by 4 different artists; Vlackon, SWART, CYNKT and Cynthia Spiering herself. All tracks are handled with intense care and confidence. This first EP showcases the extreme diligence Cynthia handpicks the tracks with. This vision is a guarantee for succes in the future of her event series, but most of all, her imprint.

Barcelona-based radio show / record label Canela en Surco is proud to present the first compilation of the best early works of Alex Martin, a local hero and pioneer of the electronic music scene in Barcelona and a key piece in the development of dance music during the early 90's.
Producing under different pseudonyms (Sideral, A3K, The Fat DB, as well as his own name, Alex Martin), he has released EPs on iconic labels such as F Communications, Klang Elektronik, Minifunk, Boozo Music, as well as his own imprint Higlamm Phonographics.

This double compilation aims to capture the wide range of styles Alex has produced: from ambient, downtempo, and IDM (Elipse, Mare Nostrum, Butterfly) to NYC and Detroit-influenced house music (I Wanna Look To The Stars, Incognita, Can Make It) to minimal techno and early tech house (Planetarium, Twirl, Firewall), Alex has navigated an immense variety of styles, consistently maintaining a highly personal sound of impressive quality for someone so far removed geographically from the main centers of creation at the time.

Album comes with a double-sided insert with a photo of young Alex himself and liner notes from the artist and label owners. All tracks are officially licensed from the artist and remastered from the original DAT tapes by Simon Davey at The Exchange (London).

Cassegrain announce collaborative EP. The Berlin based duo of Alex Tsiridis & Hüseyin Evirgen will release new work recorded alongside DJ Nobu, Tensal & Lady Starlight via their own Arcing Seas imprint in September. Leaning towards the more heady, high octane end of the genre - the three track EP showcases the duo's natural affinity for collaboration, maintaining Evirgen & Tsiridis' characteristic finish and atten-tion to detail, whilst providing ample space for the guests to properly colour the work. CT01, alongside Tensal, marries caustic drones with a potent lead sequence to produce a perfect peak time roller; whilst CN01, with DJ Nobu, riffs on a more melodic, stepping approach - maintaining that same rousing energy, but with a more psychedelic bent. CLS01, the duo's collaboration with La-dy Starlight comes in at almost 11 minutes, an ambient Techno journey that warps and shifts organi-cally across it's extended run time - complete with beat-less intro and multiple segues that work to bind the piece and it's different sections into one, cohesive narrative. Effective and impeccably produced - but with a keen ear for new & exciting sonics within the genre - this first collaborative outing proves an enviable addition to the duo's already impressive discogra-phy.

2019 was the year of breakthrough for Amsterdam-based talent and De Lichting staple Eversines. Continuing on his ascension, we’re chuffed to welcome him to the fold with ‘Plooi’ – a stupendous mini sonic odyssey of sorts, taking us from vaporous skylines to brightly hued seascapes. Both captivatingly melodic and kinetic to the full, the four tracks composing the backbone to Eversines’ new jaunt into elegiac dance territories work their magic in the gap betwixt zen-like atmospherics, velveteen acid, sun-bleached electro and chiseled breaks that step up to the plate.


Whilst the OG version of ‘Plooi’ eases us into a shape-shifting environment, swinging the pendulum between nu-age infused / Sino-flavoured harmonics, lysergic bass phrasing and muscular breaks straight out the UK rave scene’s heyday, the remix from De School resident DJ Oceanic alters the original into a subaquatic dub weapon, navigating its way across frothing and bubbling synth lines to emerge in geysers of thermal bleeping and rhythmic outbursts. A more jacking affair, ‘Efbol’ carves out a lane of its own in between angular techno and playful, retro-laced electronica a la KLF meets James Holden in his ’Idiots Are Winning’ days. Completing the set on a more understated note, ‘Missing’ in collaboration with RDS promises to fill your headspace with thoughts of beauty and quiet. Merging FX-dipped piano chords, laid-back junglism and heavily verbed-out envelopes to form a well unique piece of ambient lushness, Eversines ushers us into a world of vibrant musical rapture, nestling away from standardized tropes and patterned behaviours.

Psionic returns with a debut release from label boss, Oshana. Three masterful cuts present a fresh perspective on the influences that shaped her musical journey. The EP opens with “Techno the Planet,” a dreamy techno homage to her Midwestern roots. On the flipside, “Back to the Source,” is a gritty, emotive acid-tinged approach to an explosive peak-time roller. Closing out the ep is “Mediation Meditation,” a delicate, new-wave introspection that hypnotizes with unremitting reverie. The result is a timeless collection of melodic techno groovers.

Non Series returns after a short break with Priss Flagrant Foul EP remixes including tracks by Hoedus, Svreca, Ruhig and Steve Bicknell.

For its second release, Russian label Analog Concept brings you four powerful and floor-ready electro tracks from rising stars in a dedicated genre;
Starting with our favourite Liverpool producer nowadays – Reedale Rise and his frisky tune Borderland that can easily work out at 5 am as well as at 5 pm. Joyful and broken rhythm promises it will shake your body properly. Simon has been seen on labels like Frustrated Funk, 20:20 Vision, Kondi etc.
The next in line is Nullptr from the east side of the Island. Label boss of d-tached records and co-promoter of Cambridge-based electro night Motherchip Connexion. Coming from labels such as Detroit Underground and CPU Records it is expected this guy brings only premium sounds. He delivers a strong and vibrant track that you cannot remain indifferent to.
Side B is reserved for a Belgian producer know by the name of Datawave with a catalog of finest releases in the last few years on labels like AC Records, Vortex Traks, Fundamental Records, Natural Sciences and the Croatian producer Ivna Ji with British label Brokntoys behind her.
Datawave delivers a tune that keeps the atmospheric idea of the label at heart but experiments with driving rhythms and acid lines.
Last but not least is Ivnaís track Alpha Dial, composition that isn’t focused on dancefloors but instead entices the listener into a slowly progressing story, heavily loaded with dreamy synth lines.

A new EP from Rolando Simmons is always a feast and this cracking piece of vinyl is no exception to that rule. Rolando throws it right in your face with the highly energetic Delusions, an upbeat and epic acid jam that grows deeper and deeper the more the track progresses - by the time it ends, you've probably completely forgotten where the hell you are... Classic Simmons! With Oceanic MS-20, another epic track that reminds of AFX's Analord series, Simmons goes a little darker; one for the introverted dance floors... Opening the B side is Sol, a washed out, melodic techno/acid dreamer with quirky, tambourine like hi-hats. The concluding track Earthshine is easily the craziest on the record, energetic, carnivalesque and distinctively happy/not happy; this one is set to go down well with die hard fans of the braindance genre.

Blueprint returns with its final release for 2020, which sees label head, James Ruskin once again join forces with long-term collaborator, Mark Broom. It's been almost 2 years since the last Ruskin and Broom EP ('Domwen' - BP053), and in that time these two UK icons have continued to dominate with astounding solo work as well as their more experimental project, The Fear Ratio, releasing their third stunning album back in March for Skam.

Returning to their Techno bunker, Ruskin and Broom now deliver four new tracks of 'Basement Jams' to close the year. Expect heavyweight basslines, sharp stabs, tough grooves and a high level of funk to the metallic sonics that sets them apart from other releases.

Label head Sam Paganini steps up to deliver his new EP for JAM021

Tom Wax presents Microbots - Cosmic Evolution (Remixes) (Bonzai Vinyl)

German DJ, producer Tom Wax is back at Bonzai, presenting his famous Microbots persona and the superb Cosmic Evolution which will feature remixes from CJ Bolland, Drumcomplex and Tom himself. First released in 1992 on Chip I as K.O.-Mix, the track got a reissue in 1998 in its original form and is hailed as a fine example of the harder edged trance/techno sound of the era. Tom has been a leading figure in the electronic music scene since 1988, he has inspired a lot of artists around the world with his unique sound. After more than 25 years behind the decks he is still on a mission as he releases tracks on labels such as Great Stuff, Toolroom, Bush, Bonzai Progressive and more. At the height of the European techno and trance era, Tom was responsible for a vast number of classics under his Arpeggiators, Microbots and DJ Tom & Norman guises. His tracks found their home on R&S, Harthouse and Overdrive Records. He partnered with Thorsten Adler and found international fame with It's Our Future on Plastic City. Cosmic Evolution will be cut onto grey 12” vinyl with a limited-edition marbled version for the collectors. Digital versions will be released on After Dark.

The legendary CJ Bolland is up first on the remix, taking up the A1 slot and setting the tone beautifully. What can you say about this guy? A celebrated artist who is responsible for a lot of wonderful tracks and who inspired a whole generation, and continues to do so. Techno runs through his veins and this is proven with every track he produces; you just know his soul is in there also. Always an exciting time when he gets in the studio. On the remix here, we’re treated to that classic Bolland sound, thumping arena kicks, sporadic percussions and a unique spring sound. Dark rumbling basses and hypnotic synths mark the era perfectly, sending shivers up and down your spine.

Drumcomplex aka German duo Arnd Reichow and Daniel Reichow are up next with a superb remix. Known for their energetic, crushing techno sound, the guys are well versed, releasing filthy cuts since 2002. Here, they get into the spirit of 1992 and stamp their contemporary mark on a classic. Pounding drums lead as chaotic, sharp percussions set the rhythm free. A dark, drum fuelled event, the synths fade in midway through, bringing the nostalgia to life. A stomping track not to be missed.

Tom Wax’s own remix lowers the tempo, beefing up the sound for a deep, bassy ride into techno. Nice chunky beats and that slow burning, gritty bass are joined by the distinct plucked synth note. The original melody comes through with subtlety and on the break the 303’s are let loose, raising the energy levels. A top-notch rendition, not to be missed.

The Original Mix is a pacey, techno/trance monster. Solid beats and murky basses see this one pound the speakers, contrasted with warm, melodic pads and sharp plucked synth notes. A classic with a powerful bite and always one to remember.

15 years of PRSPCT is nothing to be taken lightly... 12 tracks by 29 PRSPCT artists. For sure THE Drum & Bass/Hardcore/Breakcore album of 2017!

Following hefty releases for Karlovak and Bass Culture in 2015, Ben Sims continues to bring his Ron Bacardi alias heat with along with a remix from Borrowed Identity.

Texas-based electro producer Cygnus broke the post "Cosmos" LP hiatus with 2018's "ne0 ge0" EP on Barba. Now, less than a year since, it feels like a good time to present another record from this artist worthy of the highest echelons of electro universe. "Liquid Sunlight" EP consists of four tracks: "Quicksilver Surprise", "Behold The Spirit", "Crystals In Your Mind" and "Liquid Soul" which all share common qualities of his previous work - deep, spacey, richly textured and just really well crafted electro music. Throughout the record's various moods, there's an undertone of melancholy and beauty. What Cygnus does so masterfully here is combine the futuristic imagery with deeply human emotions, a juxtaposition which makes the result feel much deeper than the sum of those parts. Without a doubt, "Liquid Sunlight" is a wonderful example of how electro in 2019 can sound. Respectful to the genre's tradition yet looking toward the future. Technology led but deeply grounded in the human condition. Engaging in solitary home listening, powerful at 4 AM in the club. All of our releases, this one's pressed onto a heavy duty 180 gram vinyl and beautifully dressed in an original artwork by local artist.

Dutch mainstay Jeroen Search is a true genius of building linear grooves, either subtly breathing or powerfully bouncing. His Figure release following the 2018 LP Monism reflects this aptly once more. Minimalistic, hypnotic loops simply introduce the varied 5-track EP, followed up some by some heavyweight acid-house punchlines.
The flip makes its name, changing course again in order to head deeper for a more heads-down exploration of the bleep-space nebula. Sitting firmly nestled in the center of the record, Magnet Tapes is that endless loop suspended in time and space, slowly working its way into one’s consciousness with every repetition. Search cleverly captures this moment to introduce some sounds beyond the structure of track and loop, challenging our conception of music yet playfully igniting the mind’s imaginations.
Aiming for the finish line, the EP comes to a halt only after another taster of Jeroen Search’s deadpan efficient loop science, effortlessly stacking layers of rhythms for an ultimate straight-up techno workout.

Ludwig A.F. returns to his own Exo Recordings International this spring with a fresh four-track EP in the shape of 'Blissful Lie'. The fourth instalment on the imprint sees the artist introduce his name change, shortening it to simply Ludwig A.F. The whole release, but particularly the A1 ,,Blissful Lie" is very inspired by classical music. It further explores the trademark feeling of Ludwig's sound: celebratory and happy but melancholic and introverted at the same time. It works with contradictions, hand crafted sound design elements intertwined with bombastic emotional atmospheres. Title-cut 'Blissful Lie' leads on the package, fusing ethereal pad textures and bumpy breaks with choppy bass plucks and cinematic arpeggios and strings to create a contemporary spin on classic IDM tropes. 'Weightless' follows next - a tripped out, high octane electronica workout employing elongated bass drones, syncopated rhythms and dynamically evolving acid-tinged synth licks. 'Psychiflux' opens the flip side, laying focus on glitched out percussion, vocal stutters, eerie atmospherics and weighty low-end hits before 'Cloud Walker' rounds out the release on a deeper tip, dropping the tempo and fusing soft pad swells and resonant tones with metallic synth chimes and stripped-back drums.

New label Magnonic Signals is proud to present MS001, Waves of Magnetism EP. After a recent well recieved outing on Distant Worlds and an equally impressive split on Verdant Recordings, Mihail P (+) returns with two superb techno tracks showing his depth of knowledge for Detroit's second wave and also for B12 and their emotive bleep techno from the 90's, all while putting his own distinct spin on things. It's sure to do the great work on the head as well as the feet.

Spin Fidelity (-) previous releases on Bass Agenda and RF (also due in 2019 to feature on Subwax Excursions & Parang). Here he delivers two deep brooding electro jams, mixing classic liquid electro with old school vibes, fuelled with deep pads, black box workouts and tb acid lines. Perfect for dark rooms and loud systems.

Heavyweight LP Picture Disc in a Deluxe PVC bag with flap.

The album opens with an abandoned soundtrack to a recent Hollywood movie, leading into an expansive score for Dutch National Ballet which premiered at the re-opening of the Stedilijk Museum Amsterdam in front of Queen Beatrix, with synths and live strings offering a sinuous melancholic path.

Side Two explores a deep sense of intimacy and reverberant space. Baltik Kitlab introduces a throbbing variation on chamber techno, with soft shuffling rhythms. The album concludes with a contemplative, cloistered and emotional piano piece, Dead Letter Office, with a strong emotional pull.

It’s music that is tender, elegant and heartfelt. The Signal of a Signal of a Signal is a mature work of contemporary electronica from an artist who has been re-inventing himself for nearly the last thirty years.

The Signal of a Signal of a Signal was originally released in an extremely limited CD box set on Touched Music in December 2019. It was accompanied by new albums from FSOL, Locust, Anders Llar and others. The box set sold out in 10 minutes and raised more than £10,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support in the UK. Interest in the album continued and so here is a special edition on heavyweight vinyl in deluxe PVC bag with flap, with all new artwork. It’s an exceptionally personal and fragile release, woven in with the deaths of his entire family to cancer. The album is both a rhetoric of mourning and a celebration of music to empower.

Sound Synthesis is the alias of Keith Farrugia. He started releasing Electro music in 2009 on the @Paul-Blackford label @MilitantScience, and after a break, he is back behind the machines producing music at a staggering speed! He mostly uses VST plug-ins, however has acquired a Moog Grandmother and a Microbrute and is integrating those into his workflow.

Keith wanted to explore more in depth more sounds for dance-floor oriented tracks with added space sounds from the future! Adaptation is a more sound design oriented, Robotique electronique goes hand in hand with Riding the cosmos, more spaced out acid electro! Title track inside your mind something for the listener to get lost in.

New imprint Future Tones Records delivers its first EP offering with the first debut release from Berlin based artist TXL.

The A-side of the four-track EP starts with Lucho's Simphony an effective dancefloor track with a fat bassline and the second A2 with a dark break sounds.

The B-side follows up with another dance floor track with acid sounds, and the B2 last track it´s our favourite, a lovely downtempo track called Kibortacord.

Nebulae’s new cosmic trip returns to the V/A format with a galactic selection of artists from around the planet. Expect the usual collection of dreamy textures, lushy pads, emotive synths, intrincated drum patterns and some occasional acid drops.

More than 20 years after it first launched, and 15 years after the last release, Gaetano Parisio has revived his well regarded techno label Conform. Now back to take up its place at the heart of the international scene, The first release of the new era is the start of a new CONFORM RE-TOUCHED SERIES which will be released over the coming months and contain classic Conform tracks that have been re-edit by big techno artists.

The first release contains four tracks plus one digital only bonus with heavyweights Ben Sims, Mark Broom, James Ruskin, Truncate and Stojche all stepping up. UK techno legend and Machine man Ben Sims is up first. His Hardgroove edit of Gaetek's is a brutal track with driving drums and unrelenting synths that bring it into the present day with a real sense of style. Mark Broom is another long time techno titan who has released on the best labels from M-Plant to Blueprint and he edits the B1 from C&G Southsystem's Dual EP. The result is an edgy track with big hi hats and hammering drums all run through with some bright synths that melt your mind.

James Ruskin is another vital techno player who runs his own legendary Blueprint label. His edit of a track from Gaetek's Advanced Series Vol. 1 EP is deep and hypnotic, with wooden hits and warped bass wrapping round the toughened kick drums. Truncate then tackles the same track and is known for his focus on the deeper, raw side of techno on 50 Weapons and Soma. His edit is just that - deep and atmospheric, with subtle keys up top as the busy and hard hitting drums power the track along.

Last of all, Stojche's Re-Chord of Stanny Franssen's Between the Lines is a digital only that is designed to get whole clubs and warehouses on the end of their seats.

This is a fantastic way to relaunch a much-missed techno label and marks the start of a great new series.

In a year of global shift and continuous changes, Figure takes a leap of faith and extends its catalog by introducing a completely new compilation series to the label. The Open Space series will feature forward-thinking Electronica and Ambient from a well-curated list of seasoned producers. Compositions that invite to let the mind wander, weaving stories, and conjuring up emotions.
While these softer genres have already played a respected role in former Figure releases, for the first time in the label’s history they are now being given the center stage. Volume 1 sets the mark by providing producers whom we’ve come to love for their dancefloor-centric output with an open space to showcase another side of their skillset. Open Space remains open to various strains of Electronica and Ambient, ranging from the introspective synth-monologues (Sebastian Muellaert / Kirilik), drony dub-experimentalism (Moritz Von Oswald), alive and breathing takes on the genre (JakoJako), to singular compositions which slowly build their own lasting narrative and thus develop a genuine, emotive quality (John Beltran / Tin Man ). Len Faki himself proves the artistic breadth of Open Space, sharing a powerful and conscious message through a rare and delicate moment of him exploring the form of spoken words. Other contributions include Jesper Dahlbäck as The Persuader, Luke Slater as 7th Plain, or Ralf Hildenbeutel - a former production partner of Sven Väth and now a successful composer of film soundtracks. Unfairly reduced to background music, it is not the kind of Ambient featured on the Open Space series. It is an engaging body of music, bonded by its contemplative, enveloping nature. Open Space bands together an array of fascinatingly skilled producers, finally given the opportunity to present some of their most creative and emotional material yet to date.

Varuna returns to their homebase with a heavy double pack of sci-fi techno jams. Over the course of five tracks they explore a lively space in between murky slo-mo techno and tripped out ambient mutations.

proper mixed bag this one.. soothing, grinding, banging, and disturbing!
.
New York City by way of Miami, Alex Suarez delivers his debut lp the eight track "Autogolpe" for L.I.E.S. Autogolpe, is a term for military coup initiated by a dictator to take control of an existing government and Suarez uses this loose idea to create the sonic equivialent of the pain, strife, oppression, isolation, and joyous freedom associated with said act. Musically he expands on his prior releases for Bank and Primitive Languages as heavy industrialized sonic beatings sit next to somber passages, oil drum slow beat tribal clangers provide a back drop for screams shooting out of the dark. Musically it paints a distorted picture of world in decline, an exile from another land and arrivial to anothers in chaos or the clinging hope of something better on the other side.

Superb Demontage again! A Class - A Sound of a kind, for all Bangerz in a party moment. With newcommers and old school skillz at same level. Crazy shit refreshing the view on a style! Hope, you enjoy.

The enclosure of night promises freedom of another kind. Subterranean fantasies are consecrated in flesh. The voice calls and is answered by a beating pulse. They swell and break in rapturous cycles. On Sombras, Dosis operates from this intimate space, conjuring electroid visions rooted in techno, zynth-pop and nuova-beat.

Transversales Disques is very glad to announce the release of the never released before piece Un Monde Lacéré by electroacoustic music pioneer Pierre Henry. This piece is a special tribute to Jacques Villeglé and his work. It is the world opening performance of this
opus, recorded in studio Son/Ré. Pierre Henry was born in 1927 In Paris. He started studying music as early as the age of seven. In 1944, guided by Olivier Messiaen, he imagined and started composing music for the future. His meeting with Pierre Schaeffer was crucial for his creation. Inventing new technical composition processes which in time have become widely used on a large scale, he has constantly given this music a far reaching power no one expected at the start. He
has also invented his own sound, as easily distinguishable as the sound of the most famous jazz musician.

Exploring the boundaries between Grime, IDM and Dubstep, this four-track EP is a worldwide first: The first vinyl release of Japanese Grime.

Another new artist out of the increasingly blurred lines of what is the American dance underground, Samantha Vacation appears with her first 12 inch release for L.I.E.S.
This release is comprised of two full side tracks which explore a loose yet complex form of mutated beat driven music which again may or may not be directed at the dancefloor. Subtle hints of the bass music and the twisted
remnants of Detroit techno are present in both tracks as they freely stutter and morph while the songs evolve. Challenging for the the dj and listener alike

"To make music using instrument-playing robots fascinates me. People have often assumed that for music to be emotionally powerful it has to come directly from a human hand, whereas i disagree with that, and enjoy proving these people wrong.

VAULT SERIES’ 25th release sees label owner Subjected collaborate with Andrejko to release four haunting cuts entitled ‘Vault Series 25.0’.

Founded by Subjected in 2010, VAULT SERIES’ first 25 releases have seen Subjected give a platform to artists such as Sawlin, Mørbeck and his own music focusing on the raw, industrial side of
techno with heavy distortion and experimental edged soundscapes. Over the past ten years VAULT SERIES’ consistent musical output of timeless releases made the Berlin label become a key player of
the techno community worldwide. ‘VAULT SERIES 25.0’ sees the label owner Subjected collaborate with Andrejko again following their ‘Format’ EP together on Subjected Systems last year.

‘Pitchfork’ begins proceedings with heavy, distorted kicks scattered around eerie modulations and winding elements before ‘Pain Management’ follows with sinister lead synths, growling resonations and brutal textures throughout.

On the flip, ‘On’ deploys shimmering percussion, hypnotic oscillations and churning murmurs keeping the atmosphere dark yet intriguing. ‘Medication’ then rounds off the EP with pacey, drum progression and fizzing synths fusing with machine-like sound design and energetic grooves.

BNJMN returns to Bright Sounds with Sensei; following on from the foundations laid by his "Final Network" EP released in the spring of 2018 he again showcases the melodic, yet hypnotic and pulsating side of his sound that he has become renowned for.

Starting with the almost house-like "Soared Above" synths fly over syncopated rhythms which build and then descend into something harsher and earthier.

"Intercellular" goes somewhat harder, yet still retaining the hypnotism and lightness of touch which will suit most hours in the club.

The title track is an exercise in restraint, one for the early hours when everything blurrs and only the space in between the sounds carry you along.

"Walking Into Yourself" showcases the dreamiest side of BNJMN, in slowing down the BPM the producer shows the intricate details of his sound, letting the listener in on a dense forestlike journey.

The next one, Relaxer!

Climate of Fear follows up Soft Boi’s debut LP with a mammoth drop: 12 tapes ripped straight from the first two years of Berlin parties. Released one per month, the series moves from Izabel’s shivering chug through Nkisi’s deadly anarcho-gabber psychedelia, Polar Inertia’s sleek techno throb and DJ Python & Mad Miran’s impromptu closing b2b.

Relaxer tosses his hat in the ring for Climate's fifth installment with a mini-album of studio works. "Hedonic Fatigue" opens with the delirious 20 minute "Fatigue Suite," a white knuckle slow dive that will leave you gasping. Rippers "Upstairs & Inside" and "Strictly II" are counterbalanced with the languid "World Pulse" and misty "Jim's Day." Come sway in the breeze, right on the edge of violence. Out Dec 2020.

Murge Recordings gives way to its 16th release, Transmutation, by label debutant Rico Casazza along with 2 accompanying remixes by techno kingpins, Kirk Degiorgio and Aubrey. All 3 pieces of music offering up something different to the next, from tracks full of textures and groove to straight up peak time techno.

A new member grew on the family tree of Harmony Rec. Four organic tracks written by Shoal that don't lack any drive and their addictive grooves suits the dancefloor perfectly.

For the third installment of Henk, the two DJ’s and producers from Cologne, Germany showcase once again a wide variety of styles in their production. With the A1 being a collaboration of the two, the 3 other tracks are solo works by Stikdorn. “Reset” quickly makes it’s way into any raver’s heart. Fast-paced drums and percussions meet mellow pads and 90’s vibe arpeggio’s, making this a sure shot on any dancefloor in summer. It’s clear that the A-Side on this one is reserved for the bangers once you dive into “Come Closer”. A haunting 303 acid line garnered by steadily pounding drums and vocal snippets reminding you of the early hardcore days making this a must-have for any DJ-Set. On the B-Side things slow down significantly. But only in tempo, not in deepness for sure. “Anemia” is one of these tracks that evolve while floating through space and time, taking you to the trippier and more thoughtful places, either on the dancefloor or wherever you are. “Low Lights” highlights Stikdorn’s affinity for breakbeats once again. Perfectly suitable to take your DJ-Set into another direction or for the early/late hours in the club.

A few months after the landing of "Point A", the debut instalment in
a series of 12" VA's blending in works from new faces and more established names.

"On Board Music" returns this winter with "Point B", a followup featuring choice slices from
on-therise French soundscaper Diane Barbé, Madridbased dub experimentalists 'Uanamani' and wellknown-Spanish-techno artist 'Daniel Kyo' under his CORE alias.

Starting off with Diane Barbé's "Something For The Mountains", an eight minute piece of textural sublimation fusing strains of Easternmost-traditional music and heartraking downtempo, the disc moves on towards further dynamic, verbedout atmospherics with Uanamani's 'Luzzu' - It's taking us straight to some eerily exotic place, where delayed drums & teeming layers of faux-organic luxuriance make one!

Flip Sides and you'll find CORE setting the deepness'o’metre to
eleven with a pair of dub bedout rollers. Cutting a path of hypnotic devastation across-
the dancefloor, 'Mantra' loops you in for a truly mindbending trip down techno's deepest depths.

Beaming back the energy levels stacked up by the previous, hectic closer "Energia" spits out fiery waves of mesmeric synth arpeggios to ensure definitive control upon the dancers' body & mind, - Headtripadvisor recommends!

dark clear red vinyl / label sleeve / dl code

Whether it is religion or mathematics, the 9th dimension's returning interpretation involves freedom. The stories collected on this EP involve a concept from which hardcore originates: creative freedom. With every track on this release, you can expect the unexpected. The tracks are slower than some might be used to. Their structures deviate from what people have come to expect. They feature fresh sounds. In short, they are what you *should* expect from The Outside Agency who truly return to their experimental roots with this four-track Genosha release.

It might not always be obvious, but music as escapism can serve as a radical social statement. What some may see as daydreaming or imagination of impossible realities, can constitute a sort of revolution of thought, the seed of a more human and sentient worldview. Although on a first listen, high-level basis, it may seem as if the music contained in Informa's 10th release is a series of psychedelic, dystopian and otherworldly tools for escape, it might actually be a proposition for improvement, a route to self-discovery, a reflection on the true nature of our surroundings.

Although at no point in this release such high concepts are made explicit, there is a consistency in vision and methods present in the art created by the peers that label founder and owner Deepbass has selected for this very special, celebratory release. Encapsulating the product of eight minds, eight visions, in a common concept for evolution in unity. The 8 tracks that make up this double EP create, by sheer power and purpose, a collision of 8 wormholes into different worlds and times, into which the listener is immersed and propelled, and from which he can gather new perspectives, renewed thought, clearness of mind.
The spinning melodies and travelling colours of Claudio PRC, the deep driving ancient ceremonial music engendered by Alfredo Mazzilli, the electroshock waves of Hironori Takahashi's submerged sounds or the dramatic, ghostly suggestion of fear and paranoia weaved by nAX_Acid. Ness's imagining of what happens in the eye of every storm, earthly or otherwise. The circular stimulation and mounting tension evident on Takaaki Itoh's contribution, the cave-dwelling echoes of Reggy Van Oers' lightning strikes. And the entrancing menace and feeling of hope subjacent to Deepbass's own proposal. All of them can be seen as eight tunnelling paths into the lost hours of the longest nights on the dancefloor, or a single unifying quest to take back control of a progressively harsher and alienating reality which engulfs us.

Chris Liberator's Maximum Minimum label returns with "PANIC VIRUS RED" EP featuring 2 slamming trax from Valencia's SEON, one classic track from the U.K.'s underground innovator TASSID, and a collaboration between Belgium's rising star JACIDOREX and French DJ supremo DAVID ASKO. Futuristic Acid Techno WITHOUT the 303 action, or simply smash-and-grab dancefloor underground techno? - you decide. Either way this is going to ignite underground parties, streamed, live or otherwise - with or without this fucking virus. DO NOT PANIC!

DJ Support: Nina Kraviz, Marcel Dettmann , Ben Klock, Dj Hell, Laurent Garnier, Takkyu Ishino, Nikita Zabelin , Frank Muller, MARCEL DETTMANN

There are few things in design (both sound and art) that are more subjective-or more important-than the use of color. 'Color Language' takes the listener through various characteristics of four different colors. Cultural differences can have different reactions to color. A color that cultivates joy may be depressing or melancholic in another culture. The phonic output of Color Language may reveal similar characteristics that leave the listener to decide how the react to each arrangement.

Limited Gold Vinyl Pressing!
Out of the ashes of Raceway Recordings and Racetrax, rises the new label from Sterling Moss - Rebeltek. With well over 100 tracks out on vinyl, Sterling decided it was time to start his own 12inch project again, so 2014 sees rise to the Rebeltek Alliance - an infusion of stomping 303 inspired Techno beats, soon to hit the streets.

Having played in every continent on earth and with releases on over 50 different record labels, Sterling is using his vast musical knowledge gained through his travels and productions to harness an energy for Rebeltek that is both unique and compelling, whilst retaining an counter-culture attitude direct from London town that will drive the label forward.

The debut track 'Don't Fuck Around' has been road tested at the massive UK Techno event 'London Underground United' and subsequently received extremely positive attention. This special first release will be available on limited edition gold vinyl and will be sure to be a collector's item for years to come.

REBELS FOR LIFE

Transpac does not hide its love for Arpanet's ''Wireless Internet'' album in any way. ''Transpac is the name of one of the first computer networks. It enabled data exchange based on the X25 standard, the Minitel was one of the most famous applications of this network. This project pays tribute to the development of telecommunications in the 70's and the creation of this network.''

The third edition of the Exit Planet Earth vinyl series features four more exclusive intergalactic selections from Ralph Lawson.A

'Exit Planet Earth - Nitrogen' features a selection of pioneers and up and coming talent. First up is a true legend of the UK electro scene, Keith Tenniswood aka 'Radioactive Man', who creates a constantly evolving sonic trip called 'One Out'. Watch out for the surprise sting in it's tail too. Sharing the A side is the incredibly talented Spanish producer Annie Hall, arriving fresh from her stunning CPU releases. Annie creates melodic landscapes, layered with intricate string orchestration driven by deep bass.A

On the flip side Helsinki-based Sunny Seppa aka Sansibar shows exactly why he is fast becoming hot property following his immense debut album on FTP - 'Targeted Individuals'. ASansibar brings the record back to the 4/4 with a flowing yet subtle working of synths and pads. Also based in Finland yet hailing from Holland is VC-118A, who previously caught our attention with his track 'PCB' a firm favourite at Exit Planet Earth events. VC118-A delivers some deep space dub with expertly crafted production centring on low end theory.

Fractura del SueNo is the debut album from the Catalan and Berlin-based artist Ameeva and his first big step into his musical path. With the purpose of creating a conceptual LP which develop the idea of transcendence, power of mind and self-interpretation of the individual, Alex Busse has created an album where different influences share the same environment. From ambient and drones to deep techno, going through broken-beats, distortions, organic percussions, field-recordings and even the human speech, he has created a progresion in the storytelling which ascends in energy nd comes back to the origin point, making it ideal for a calm and deep listening where the listener can focus on each sound.

Following the stellar trip through Woo’s Arcturian Corridor , Quindi Records continues to explore intimate, inviting sounds with an experimental bent by facilitating the return of overlooked Italian duo Cabaret du Ciel.
Initially formed in 1986, Cabaret du Ciel’s debut album Skies In The Mirror was a low-key and extremely rare cassette release of spellbinding electro-acoustic ambient music created by Gian Luigi Morosin and Andrea Desiderà. A reissue on Hybride Sentimento in 2018 brought renewed attention to the startling music contained within this unique project.
The Breath Of Infinity is an album comprised of new works recorded over the past year, either as new pieces or reworked from old ideas with the assistance of Giorgio Ricci. Morosin and Desiderà’s natural instincts as multi-instrumentalists shine through across the record as they did on Skies in the Mirror , although these tracks were in fact composed as raw live takes using electronic workstations (with a little additional fretless bass provided by a close friend Giampaolo Diacci on “Different Suns” and “Climatic Variations”).
There is a crisp, digital timbre to the worlds Cabaret du Ciel shape out on The Breath Of Infinity – utopian pastureswith an air of optimism similarly expressed in the first waves of ambient electronica. Folk traditions exert a guiding influence on the sparkling, ethereal melodies and full-frequency harmonisation, but this is music enamoured with timeless plateaus rather than hackneyed interpretations of the past, present or future.
It’s also an album of variety. “Different Suns” tumbles with a pastoral, elemental earthiness thanks to the interwoven rhythmic murmuring of percussion and live bass, while “Lakota” pivots in sharply rendered bio-mechanical formations.
There’s a widescreen bombast to “Theatre Azure” which calls to mind mid-90s US electronica, while “Meredith” reclines in a blissful bath of plush 80s FM synthesis. “Sunset Parade March” has a distinct sense of propulsion thanks to its overdriven, broken techno rhythm and “Highlands” skips with an infectious energy despite not using any formal
kind of percussion, but even in these more kinetic moments a preference for mellow musicality maintains the dreamlike mood.
Consider The Breath of Infinity like an archipelago, where each track functions as its own distinct island of ideas while being intrinsically interconnected to the others. In a similar fashion to acts such as Ultramarine (who appeared as remixers on Quindi 001), Cabaret du Ciel emphasise the musicality in their electronic music, shaping out an
evocative, imaginative environment to idly glide through or attentively explore.

A superb EP full of collabs between talentuous musicians.
Loads of kick changes, surprises, rhthmic surprises... An A-Class sound and quality of press.
Finally is this simply the best DEMONTAGE ???

Portland’s Etbonz is once again making waves through his brand of cybernetic machine funk. With releases on labels like Bahnsteig 23 and Love On The Rocks it’s no wonder his more subterranean efforts would find a home on Dark Leader. The A side consists of Etbonz’s deliciously dark and epic electro disco take on the theme from 1984’s 'THE TERMINATOR'.

“The Future Is Not Set” transports you through time and space on a mission to save the future of humankind. Side B kicks off with “Magic By Human Minds” a robotic workout with a heavy psychedelic, broken beat feel. The final track “Melt FM” finds its footing as industrial techno then takes a quick detour into the realm of electro and finally morphing into dreamy ethereal house. The perfect track for changing up the vibe.

"Dark Leader 006" brings us yet another release which lands somewhere on the spectrum that spans between techno and disco.
