Techno News

Re-issue of episode 5 in the legendary first few Bunkers by Unit Moebius.

Featuring producers who performed during Club Quarantaene 1, our collection begins with Adiel, CcC, Gian, Héctor Oaks, Marcel Dettmann, O-Wells & Solid Blake. The design features architectural motifs of Club Qu. Layers of imagery blended from current and previous Club Qu events. The virtual events past, peaking through the contrasting busy scenes and mirrored negative spaces.

It is a pleasure to announce the first artist ep of one of ://about blank's closest friends and faithful companions-ANJA ZAUBE.
By developing a dark and hypnotic atmosphere, her DJ sets always are characterized by an intense and excessive arc of tension and her very own, unique signature.
Such is also the case for her productions; the magnificent HEADLESS HORSEMAN remix represents a perfect complement.

We are more than happy to present this release and will hopefully, one day, celebrate it together on our very own MDF and other dance floors on this planet.
The future is unwritten.

Second step: G-Man “Quo Vadis”, a track released for the first time in 1995... It had in those years massive support of the greatest exponents of electronic club music and in a short time, it became a real classic. Now on Back To Life Records returns with Original Mix
+ D. Diggler remix (Never released on vinyl) + Sparticus.

Thanks to Gez "LFO" Varley for this gem. He say about the track: “Quo Vadis was born as the perfect track to mix between a house set to a techno set ,the track was inspired after the film Quo Vadis and means 'where are you going to?' ".

New to Redstone Press, Liam Robertson comes with a singular, dark and brooding EP, expertly sweeping through techno, bass and broken beat dystopia. “Clay Petrel” sets the tone through unnerving synths and a heavy low end, interspersed by unyielding percussion and spectral voices. Closing the A side is “Common Weaver”, an unrelenting drum track that grows in intensity before descending into languid madness. The B side is looser, but the mood is further enhanced by the rolling sub and wistful vocals of “Wrestling Halfbeak Fighting Taxa” before it ends with the lurching beatwork and warped, growling bass of “Loxia”.

Single-sided 12" with etched B-side.

MixMup/Kassem Mosse and Physical Therapy get deep and playful on the 5th of five remixes for Pär Grindvik, the boss of Stockholm Ltd and half of the Aasthma duo with Peder Mannerfelt

MM/KM go below the surface with a stealthily building but never peaking techno rework of ‘Wall To Wall’ from Grindvik’s ‘The Game’ (2017) EP, and Queens, NYC loon Physical Therapy trots out a loopy, prancing pony of a remix for ‘Drift’ from 2004’s ‘Gem’ 12”.

We proudly welcome back the pioneer collective of South America born and raise in Buenos Aires, Argentina ‘Urban Groove’ (Luis Nieva, Miguel Silver, Omar Amo, Eduardo Criado, Diego Cid) they have been active since 1994 and they are a fundamental piece of Argentinian Electronic Music scene history. Back in 2018 they released ‘Notice Legalizer’ on the label and now two years after they are back to present us, another outstanding EP titled ‘Devastated Earth’, a seven track EP that will be release on a limited special Cassette Edition and digital format. One again, another fantastic work from Urban Groove, showcasing interesting sounds going from Acid, Electro, Industrial to Techno of course, showing us how decades of knowledge can be portray in a EP.

Straight off the back of a classic release on Derrick May’s label Transmat, Australian techno pioneer Biz is back with another ep of serious techno grooves. He creates a vibe that seduces the soul yet also has the tough elements that work so effectively on the dancefloor. This is the thirteenth release on Biz’s own label cliq which was founded in 2002 and is a reminder that Australian techno is here to stay…serious vibes!!

Support by Derrick May, Laurent Garner, DJ Deep, Ben Sims, Extrawelt, Deetron, Dave Clarke, Stephan Brown.

LFT007 "Take Down Enemies" is a powerful collection of three sought after MG tracks and a whopping remix from the one and only Special Request.

GENESA001W marks the start of the label's 'White Series' which will be reserved for a more playful side of experimentation within our genre. None was more suitable for the opening of the series than the Serbia's indeliberately 'best kept club secret', MKDSL ("Mama kaze da sam lep" translating to "Mama says that I am pretty"), a true master of combining different genre's into a style of his own.

Trippy Electronix from Shitcluster on Panzerkreuz.

20th anniversary edition of Stephan Mathieu’s stunning debut album, a hushed introduction to his liminal sensitivities - essential listening if you’re into The Caretaker, Akira Rabelais, David Sylvian.
A proper pearl, this one.
Highlighted for reissue by the brilliantly named Weeding label, the timeless, hypnagogic qualties of this classic album stem from Mathieu’s core interest in vintage, outmoded equipment and their unique fidelities. Sampling 78s and environmental sounds and combing the results with granular processing (and a spectrum of other synth tekkers), he animates their ghosts and spectral infidelities - ravishing crackles, infrasonic hums - in elegantly slow moving, chamber-like arrangements that have become a hallmark of his and subsequently coveted by waves of wistful artists enamoured with his contemporary vision of archaic, arcane audition.
Mathieu’s music finds a unique sensuality in the space between analog and digital textures, most beautifully highlighted here on the anxiety-dissolving crackle and hum of ‘Variation Eins’, and the exquisite touch of ‘Variation Drei’ as it gradiates from Porter Ricks-like subaquatic intensity to Basinski-esque damaged keys. The synths proceed accompanied by filigree spectral electronics a la Coil’s ELpH in the titular closer, a mix of paranoid drone surveillance and funereal pads eliding in thee uncanniest manner that feels very much at home deep into 2020, within a modern field of de/focussed ambient explorers and electro-acoustic composers from Pendant to Bellows and, of course, the Caretaker.

After the success of the first A-sides compilation in 2012, Adam Beyer has decided its time to release another. With Adam's stature steadily growing as one of the leading talents in the Techno scene and the rise of Drumcode, the standard of demo's that have been sent to Adam have been top notch. Adam has now decided to release two compilations with 10 tracks each, consisting of tracks that Adam has tried and tested. There are also new artists that have been invited to release on Drumcode for this compilation and others who are a staple in Drumcode's core family. Combining both old and new talents Drumcode have come up with something unique and distinctive to make this two-part compilation something extra special.

Exclusive and limited repress of some jams of our back catalog.

7am. Tilburg. Black room. Strobe light. Dutch Soundsystem Wirwar. "Party Like It's '96" celebrates 23 years of musical debauchery, rinsing BPMs and battering bodies in forests, squats or wherever a PA system could be plugged in. Five tracks from five different aliases make up this descent into drum beat battery. Noses are up against sweat drenched wall from the needle drop, the thundering pace of Trippy D's maniacal offering being elbowed in the ribs by Bart Bral's nosebleed inducing "No Shit, Sherlock!" Distortion slices into squalid acid lines in the blazing "Water On Mars" by RAF before broken beats are blended and blitzed by Just So Nah. The night, or morning, comes to an end in Roel's nightmarish fairground ride. "Wurlitzer Express" minces chiptune cuteness with splintered snares, cracked kicks and mutated percussion to leave hearts, minds and souls thoroughly stained.

Crazy kicker fearless sound...
With a solid kick and a badass violent snare you can practice sports during the night.

FIST OF FURY motorisé F1 d'éléphants Hotrebor & S.Y.R.O.B et le lasergun mitraille les jambes Not a DJ lacereur de guitare dans le vent siffleur Armaguet Nad et ses 356 BPM à Twin Peaks

Dexorcist, aka South London’s Si Brown, has been at the forefront of the UK electro scene since the late 90s – running the seminal Control Tower label with Radioactive Man and producing as part of a number of collaborative projects alongside his solo releases, including as Kronos Device with Bass Junkie.

His ‘Rage Signal’ EP, the first vinyl release on Ecstasy Garage Disco (following digital releases from LMajor and BufoBufo), journeys further back into his musical roots, combining his trademark industrial-strength aesthetic with elements of dub, bleep and hardcore.

‘Rage Signal’ starts the dance, blending rave whoops, slamming breaks, acerbic hoovers and vintage sci-fi samples for a track heavily championed by Local Group, the duo label boss Corporeal Face is part of. The searing bass, booming 808s and urgent bleeps of ‘Centurion’ then underline its gravelly vocal, which aptly attests to the roughness of the 21st century.

‘Don’t Come Cryin’ is another huge slice of thumping 140bpm rave-inspired breaks, Britcore vocals and urgent, winding melody adding chaotic force to the bass and stab lead. ‘Jah’s Comin’ closes out, a prophetic vocal, hefty sub, dubbed out horns and turntablist scratching heralding his arrival – while also signing off an EP that unites electro’s bass weight with the undying energy of rave’s early days.

GEN-Y debuts on BAKK with a release that hits every corner. Four refreshing tracks that dabble in familiar styles without a single concern for tradition. Packed with three tracks by GEN-Y solo and one as G.F. together with Paule Perrier. Whether you like acid breaks, snappy electro, dreamy psychedelica or ghetto house with a twist, GEN-Y got you covered. Comes freshly served in screen printed comicly radiant artwork by the BAKK Catharsis Company.

Label boss Kenny Dahl signed the 13th release with a powerful and darkness techno imprint.
This publication inaugurates the new "wired-cube"graphic concept. The impressive and realistic cover by Simone Dattilia an emerging visionary artist will sign the covers of Eclectic limited future releases.

Box with 4 releases coming from Michel de Hey. Originally released as Unknown Artist. Including remixes from Steve Rachmad, ROD and Windows.

Suction Records welcomes Roger Semsroth back to the label - having previously released 2 full-length albums with us under his retired electro-pop alias, Skanfrom. “Grøndal” (suction051) is the debut vinyl release under a new alias, Nordvest.

These days, Semsroth is best-known for his stark and minimalist techno project, Sleeparchive. The material on Grøndal - icy, melodic, and mostly beatless - is comprised of tracks that were originally released digitally as Sleeparchive, via Bandcamp. The releases were met with general disinterest from Sleeparchive fans, prompting Semsroth to re-brand them as Nordvest, before removing them from Bandcamp altogether.

We’ve chosen 11 highlights from 3 of those digital albums, “Rooftops & Chaotic Streets”, “Scribbles”, and “Sleepless”, for a cohesive 11-track LP of austere, synthetic ambience. Think Tangerine Dream as reinterpreted by Incunabula-era Autechre, and you might be getting somewhere close. While “Rooftops & Chaotic Streets Seven” recalls Sleeparchive, and “Sleepless Six” could very well be a lost Skanfrom track, the rest of the LP clearly warrants a new alias - Nordvest is a new side of Semsroth that we haven’t heard before.

PBR Streetgang return to their home imprint after a brief hiatus with possibly the strongest release on the label to date and a heavy remix from cult producer Johnny Aux.

'Zoot Module' is a moody, low slung slab of Electro with haunting riffs, holding your sonic gaze front and centre.

The EP’s title track, 'Sendeturm' is named after the tower atop a very special lookout directly above the Love International festival site. The beatless piece, a melancholic ode to a lost summer in place of beauty.

On the flip Paranoid London member Johnny Aux turns out his signature rough & raw dirtbox sound that burrows its way under your skin. A true Electronic Body Mover. And closing the B side out 'Thru The Shutters' was imagined as a last track on the early hours of Sunday morning dancefloor but could just as easily be a blissed out home listen. Depth and space run through every track.

September marks the return of MindTrip's Don on his imprint with a dark, intense and musical exploration, followed by a signature remix by Ukranian icon Stanislav Tolkachev. 'Rise Of The White Dwarf' welcomes you into a trippy journey. 'Double Existence' goes into a darker dimension of broken patterns and modular jam. 'They Want To Fool Us' is a clear statement by Pfirter who delivers a raw, stormy techno track that keeps a melancholic twinge; while Stanislav Tolkachev makes his long awaited debut on MindTrip with a psychedelic, strong and driving interpretation of this original piece. MT16 completely embodies MindTrip's philosophy around music created to take individuals on a higher state of consciousness. This is MindTrip.

Phyzikal Flex delivers four absolute bombs from the vaults on this colabo EP from Doom Chakra and Parallax. The 12" features two revised and polished versions from his 2017 Doom Chakra Tapes album, “Keeping It Real Since 92”, plus two unreleased tracks - available for the first time now on vinyl.

Parallax & Doom Chakra joined forces on this PARADOOM 0001 release in order to finally release these four long-awaited gems on wax. The release will be delivered in a unique hand-sprayed sleeve, each record will be hand-stamped and will also include a batch of collectible stickers from both labels. The record was mastered by Norman Nitzsche @ Calyx Mastering and cut by Phyzikal Flex himself and will be pressed at Optimal Media.

The Analogue Cops' "Zigulí" E.P. for Vitamina is an earthshaking four trackers dancefloor banger which melts old- school roughness and cutting-edge spectral enhancement.

"Climate Exchange" and "Take your vitamina" wisely blend Chicago fuelled drums with ballistic delays, toward a frantic peak-time climax.

"Passage to the door" and "The green door" instill romantic acid madness from emerging minimalistic tight rhythms incautiously driving to a late-night daydream.

From Detroit and passing thru Chicago on the Soul Research train, comes Titonton Duvante', a multi-faceted artist who has been in the US scene for over 15 years, and has been making the Motor City music scene proud ever since.
Recapitulate, EP vol1 is new and a pot of inspiration. Two tracks which mix Detroit grooves and sounds with a Chicago style rhythm. Recapitulate, produced with Christofer Rau, is experimental and ethereal. The EP ends with a Yotam Avni, a young and talented artist from Israel, who takes Recapitulate into

De Lichting is back for their second double vinyl album titled; 'Twee'. The collective showcases a genuinely sensitive and pure sound resulting in an emotionally charged album.

The A-side kicks off with Boris Acket & Kaap. The live and improvised performance 'De Tuin' starts as a percussive soundscape and evolves into light footed ambiance, which resonates to a designated chill-out space, followed by 'Verwar' of Eversines. A darker hedonistic cut thanks to its atonal pads and heavy but sensual low end. A polyrhythmic breakbeat is introduced, which releases the tension and clears all the grey clouds to its sonic spectrum.

Human Space Machine & queniv take over the B-side this time, working their way through an emotional techno journey with Human Space Machine's 'Feels' and the most apocalyptical techno banger we've heard from queniv so far called 'U.I.C'.

Switching records to the second vinyl, we start on the C-side with Boris Acket's 'Humming', a house anthem sure to jerk the tears of euphoric dancers. Continuing, three other cuts which are Nathan Surreal's 'Chaos In The Echoes'; a mental deep weapon, queniv's museum inspired experiment 'Kruller Muller' and 'Onvoorwaardelijk' by RDS. C4 lives up to its number; blowing up clubs with a lovely sensitive yet dangerous electro bomb of a track.

When the concluding side is put on, we're taken aback by Kaap's 'Hartzeer', a heart aching combo of 707 drums, grungy textures and a rolling 16th bass, which goes right in the feels. RDS is featured a second time on D2 with 'Haat & Liefde', resulting in the most acoustic sounding track on the compilation before we end with Eversines' '2Anticipate'. An ambient cut where the 303 acid synth has hardly ever sounded so soft, tender and more sincere than you'd expect. And so, the album is wrapped up and implies a feeling of a new start to the next compilation.

De Lichting is a brand new collaborative project between three key underground labels from Amsterdam namely Yield Records, Native Response and Working Titles. All with their own successful solo projects and well established in what they do, the collaboration is “a coming of age story narrated by a bunch of music heads from the same city.” It is a project that sees seven self-confessed music nerds putting their DIY ideals front and centre and coming together to self-release these 13 new and exciting tracks.

Artists Nathan Surreal, queniv, RDS, Scott Franka, Kaap, Eversines, Human Space Machine and Deltitnu all contribute at least one track each to what will be the first in a new series of releases that follow this same diverse collaborative approach. Musically, the tracks cover many shades of house, ambient and techno across four carefully curated sides of vinyl.

Side A takes in unsettling sci-fi ambiance that turns into spacious and cosmic deep house before dropping back into dreamy, beatless chords. Side B picks up the pace with slippery electro synths and rubbery grooves that journey through the cosmos before ending up on romantic broken beat bliss.

Side C kicks off with menacing and trippy house which turns to deep acid, loose beat workouts and dubby ambiance then last of all, Side D offers supple mind melting techno and sombre minimal dub. Always inventive and atmospheric throughout, this a varied and vital release that both DJs and dancers are sure to love.

At the disco there is a mentasm... You will find me there..."

So begins Cornwallis' "At The Disco", a robot-voiced spoken word oddity released on Power Vacuum in 2015.

Power Vacuum is all about the mentasm: the mental orgasm, the moment when psychoactive electronics remould your grey matter into discombobulating new shapes, and when silliness, surreality, and playful aggression flip the sensible order of things upside down.

Viers rolls through with a unique 4-track, club oriented EP entitled ‘Innocence’ for Typeless. After some previously highly acclaimed releases, the Leeds based artist reinforces his supremacy with a fiercely diverse electronic voyage.

"EVA00" on the A side offers up a hybrid electro-breaks infused sound with rolling basslines and euphoric melodies, encapsulating yet to be heard futuristic club cuts. Whilst ‘Douglas Descend’ adheres to a more classically punchy techno sonic with hypnotic kicks and a protruding industrial snare. B-Side’s ‘Innocence’ is a dark bass-heavy electro track that is masterfully mind-bending. The EP is then rounded off by the warehouse inspired track entitled ‘LSD’, reminiscent of big room rave settings of the 90’s. A high energy club ready EP.

Sweet Various offering one dark Pumpin, one electro tribe and one super Pumpin tribe from the king of the genre ! Big one !

Alan Fitzpatrick makes a triumphant return to the scene-leading imprint this August. The typically bombastic three-tracker of explosive, crowd-moving techno opens with Love Siren packed with all the power and punch required to knock over festival crowds as it systematically builds and drops, this is one for the big open air stages. 'U Said U is a massively hyped track that has been the subject of huge fan-demand since it first featured on Beyer's Drumcode Radio in January. Rumours wraps things up in slightly more understated but non-the-less effective fashion with its drawn out, tension building intro mushrooming into a crescendo of sleazy chords and sparking melodies.

Repress!

‘Thief of Sanity’ is shapeshifting duo Animistic Beliefs’ debut on Brokntoys.

The 4 track EP is an ode to the past, drawing inspiration from political techno group Underground Resistance, as well as ancestral pan-tribalist music. Without compromising their signature Rotterdream sound, the dynamic duo deviates from their recklessly violent live-sets, tuning into more introspective and earthbound frequencies.

By means of hypnotic synthesizer and bursting drum machine workouts, Xakalele and rbf.linh take you through their melancholy filled world, sharing with you their worries, hopes and fears in the form of a tongue-tied protest.

Borai will be instore at Container Records launching the EP, date TBC

Stroboscopic Artefacts Returns With Another Strong Addition To Its Totem Series, A Unique Set Of Releases Pressed On Transparent 10' Vinyl, Capturing The Essence And Effusiveness Of Multidimensionality Of Club Culture. Bridging The Gap Between The Worlds Of Sound And Material Objects, Totem Is A Series That Aims To Meld The Artistic Resonance Of Each Forthcoming Release Into An Emblematic Representation Of The Sounds That Are To Be Presented, Clearly Within The Grooves Seen And Heard On The 10'. Stepping Up For The Third Release In The Series Is Berlin Legend Efdemin -- Bringing A Three-track Journey That Is Unequivocally Enduring And Flexible For Journeys On-and-off The Dancefloor.

While Each Track Shares The Same Title, The Textures And Traits Are Different -- With The A1, circles' Setting Things Up With Pertinent Percussion And Staccato Synth Lines, As Efdemin Sways Towards Another Side With left' -- A Heady, Hedonistic Thumper With Exuberant Melodic Bursts, Followed By A Therapeutic Sequel With right' -- Closing Out The Release With A Melange Of Spacious Efficacy, Something The Berlinbased Producer Has Been Known For Throughout His Near-two-decade Career. Between Releasing For The Likes Of Ostgut Ton, Curle, Dial, And His Own Imprint Naïf, Efdemin Takes On The Challenge Of Totem's Conceptual Subjugation And Subverts It With His Emotionally Honest Take On A Stimulating And Subdural Sonic Experience Within Three Parts. Narratively Dense And Expertly-paced, The Totem Series Carries On With Another Outer-worldly Insertion To Its Catalog.

Inner Surface Music are very proud to present Grey Branches - a new project by Yves De Mey. It brings together his love for straightforward technoid tracks and his known interest in experimentation. Grey Branches deliberately aims at the floor without losing the focus on sound design. It serves as the ideal output for Yves' take on distorted rhythms and linear arrangements.

'Exsolve' opens proceedings with a truly unique take on broken techno rhythms, playful yet commanding synthesis intertwines with low-slung baselines. 'Lower Bounds' enters us into a psychedelic dimension that we have never entered before, slow robotic drums and synths bleep and modulate as we enter the void to float into a parallel universe. 'Binate' stomps and kicks with ferocity, the synths build and swarm like a giant mechanical wasp ready for the sting - a powerful and dynamic track that will encapsulate any dance floor. 'Plangent' is an experimental modular workout - a perfect amalgamation of sounds that melds between metallic and organic sound sources with great intensity and precision

Jackson Ryland debuts on 1432 R with some sublime house & techno. As one half of DC duo Rush Plus, he’s no stranger to high speeds and booming percussion. Here he’s weaved a four-tracker from grainy pads, squelching synths, and scorched drums. All spun out in single take sessions. Focused, honest, and fresh, Stealth Mode is a record with barreling rhythms and soul stirring harmonies. A mix of menace and melancholy, shadows and strobes.

Counterchange presents 'Eigenlicht' by Portuguese-German multi-instrumentalist, producer and award-winning film composer John Gürtler.

Gently teetering between krautrock-influenced synth mantras and saxophone improvisations, down-tempo electronica, sound design experiments and moments of rich ambience, 'Eigenlicht' is a diverse album of electro-acoustic music. The 11 tracks were recorded between two studios and on location at Berlin's infamous Teufelsberg, the abandoned Cold War era US spy-radio and radar outpost named 'Field Station Berlin', surrounded by forest to the west of the city.

A document of Gürtler's development, many of the pieces here were first laid down in his bunker-like former basement studios at Drontheimer Straße in north Berlin, before he eventually elevated above ground - both physically and musically - building his current Paradox Paradise studio and becoming an established film music composer. In 2019 John won the European Film Academy Award for Best Score, for his soundtrack for Nora Fingscheidt's debut feature 'Systemsprenger' (System Crasher).

In recent years John collaborated on a number of projects with acclaimed German producer and composer Phillip Sollmann aka Efdemin, performing live and releasing the 'Gegen Die Zeit' EP on Sky Walking, a subsidiary of Dial records where he also remixed Efdemin's 'Parallaxis' under the moniker The Borderland State.

In part an ode to the Macbeth Systems M5 modular synthesizer, with its three oscillators, much of the album features the towering instrument, whose uniquely rich tone and rumbling, pure bass end characterises tracks like 'Eigenlicht', 'M5', 'Synthetics' and 'Five Voice'.

"The M5's built in spring reverb and huge sliders and faders - as opposed to all the tiny knobs on Eurorack synths - make it as playable as any acoustic instrument."

John's primary background is in acoustic music, coming from woodwind and keyboard instruments, improvisation and composition. The leap into working with computers and electronic instruments found him exploring ways to make synths and samplers sound as organic as possible.

Compilation of slow industrial punk EBM edits by Russian duo Olta Karawane. This is their second appearance on Maturre after their previous release on I'm a Cliché last year.

Our number 17 comes in the hands of P.E.A.R.L. himself, with three slices of modern properly distorted technoes plus a Drum & Bass infused cut. As P.E.A.R.L.'s sound signature, a few elements make things move an evolve without super breaks or mega reverb washes, dry, raw and precise. Shuffled rhythms and sequences, complex arrangements, cold in essence but warm for the most advanced dancefloors.

Artwork curated by Silent Editions.

Pearson Sound returns to Hessle for the first time in 5 years, with an EP for clubs and warehouses varied in tone and intensity. 'Alien Mode' orbits around a sledgehammer breakbeat, processed for impact on contemporary dancefloors whilst referencing the sonic palette of early hardcore and jungle, with its time-stretched vocals and restrained FX stabs. 'Cobwebs' flips a percussion sample, officially licensed from Nigerian musician Adewale Ayuba, into a head-spinning sub-fuelled roller at 155bpm. The understated ecstasy of 'Everything Is Inside Out' closes the EP with its elastic arpeggios and yearning synth lines. DJ support includes Four Tet, Objekt, Jamie xx & Daphni.

The new Rico Puestel ep combines striving, restrained, overturned, uncanny or quirky cool techno music. Rico is always keeping a clear line due to his individual touch of positive tension, funkyness and soul. Played by Josh Wink, Oscar, Paco Osuna, Tim Green, Timo Jahns!, Alec Troniq, Danilo Vigorito, DJ Misk, Franco Bianco, Black Vel, Blood and Tears, Sascha Kösch aka bleed (DE:BUG), Glanz and Ledwa, Homebase, Infusion Magazine (Dubai),..

The 25-track strong compilation, split across 7 EPs, features standout cuts Beyer has received over the last 12 months, but been unable to find room for in Drumcode’s regular release schedule, such is the volume and high standard of music that’s submitted.

Part 1 sees Layton Giordani drop the stirring chord-driven ‘Chrome’, whilst Veerus follows up his powerful DC release with the fierce ‘Prophecy’ and BEC makes a blistering debut with ‘Hypersphere’.

The highlight-rich compilation also includes Jamie Jones & Darius Syrossian’s buzzy Drumcode debut ‘The Grid’, Nicole Moudaber’s first DC release in 5 years with the mesmerizing ‘This Is Us’, Will Clarke’s bass-drenched re-work of Adam Beyer & Bart Skils ‘Your Mind’ and Joey Beltram’s first Drumcode release in 11 years with the retro-tinged ‘Can You Feel It’.

The beloved Alan Fitzpatrick returns to the fold with the searing ‘Heiße Rakete’, while the exciting Hyperloop project links up with Upercent for the slinky loop-driven ‘Rouge’, alongside label mainstay Wehbba with ‘Mantra’, combining techno classicism with future-focused groove.

There’s a troupe of debutants donning the Drumcode jersey for the first time, including Shelley Johansson, Avision, Zimmz, Woo York, SAMA (in a terrific collaboration with Secret Cinema) and Ilija Djokovic, who delivers a shimmering highlight with ‘Aura’, a particular favourite of Beyer’s over the last year. Raxon also debuts on the label after a couple of quality additions to the Truesoul back catalogue.

Exciting young guns Weska and Juliet Fox bring heat to the compilation, while Timmo follows up a strong DC release with a repeat dose. Elsewhere faithful contributors Ramon Tapia, Jay Lumen, Luca Agnelli, Marco Bailey and Mark Reeve craft powerful dancefloor weapons.

Untold’ is an experimental electronic LP from multi-disciplinary artist and author Sophia Loizou. Depicting a series of speculative sonic landscapes; animals, ocean waves and weather systems are abstracted into eco-centric cyber-dreams creating powerful ambient compositions that invite us to see the Earth through the eyes of others.

‘Untold’ is not about the natural or the technological but the relationships between the two; sonic textures, breaks and melodies are shaped by the dynamics of a lion’s roar or the rhythm of a dolphin’s echolocation emissions. “I didn’t want to make it human-centric,” explains Sophia. “I wanted to remove my compositional and structural domination, to find ways to make it about the symbiosis of systems I see in the world.”

‘Untold’ is part of a much bigger multi-disciplinary project that also includes a collection of poems with accompanying audio, artworks, an AV show and a lecture performance.

REPRESS: The world has found itself in a significant hurry. We have also found ourselves in the most distracted period of time in history; finding it tremendously difficult to remain in a moment of stillness, quietude, or allow time for self-reflection. Conversely, our vast universe continues its expansion into infinite development; a climate of deafening silence in a boundless four-dimensional continuum. It remains mesmerizing with a quiet allure that freely suspends in space-time; a true account of the beautiful unknown that sparks hope, reverence, and an awesome realization of impenetrable mystery.

"Stasis Sounds For Long-Distance Space Travel" is audibly rich in its delivery with an array of tranquil billows and patient tones. It is a journey and soundtrack that commences at Earth's thermosphere, gently moving towards the untraveled parts of space, lushly floating on forever.

These arrangements represent a group of celestial transmissions that are delicate in nature and intended for the listener to embrace moments of stillness, quietude and reflection, of which are on a trajectory of extinction at a place we call Earth.

Influential Spanish artist Coyu is stepping out on his own Suara label with a long overdue debut album entitled ‘You Don’t Know’ that is going to shatter all conceptions about him. Due for release this September 23rd, the 16 track affair showcases his broad range and takes in collaborators like Moby, Lazarusman, The Horrorist, Thomas Gandey and many more.

Coyu quickly rose through the ranks to become one of the most prominent names in underground dance music. The Spanish man famous for his love of cats has established his Suara label as a go-to outlet for the most essential house and tech tracks, as well as releasing his own expressive grooves on Cocoon Recordings, Diynamic, Bedrock Records, Turbo Recordings and MORE. Now he really stretches his legs across a fantastic full length album that goes way beyond the dance floor and shows many new sides to his sound. The artist has been working on it since 2012 and aims to show people that whatever they think about him is wrong.

Says the artist himself, “the album is named ‘You Don't Know’ because many people have a preconceived idea of who I am. Until now, maybe I wasn't smart enough to show them my roots, what I love and what I can offer to the music. I'm not just a DJ or a producer who can play or make grooves – I love many different genres and many different kinds of music. With this album I want to change that preconception.”

The album kicks off with a dramatic spoken word from legendary vocalist Lazarusman before exploring low slung and sleazy grooves on ‘The Three Chimney’, floaty light melodic and dreamy house on ‘Out of The Pain’ and more club focussed but just as dreamy fair on ‘We All Try’ with Mike Leary.

Proving he can do everything from poolside gems to peak time techno, ‘Fear Is Gunna Be A Player In Your Life’ is one to get you in a trance with its sonar like synths and rolling deep space drums. Thomas Gandey aka Cagedbaby then steps up to guest on ‘1+1’ which is a hands in the air piano anthem to pump the party, and ‘Wanna Do Right, Wanna Do Wrong’ is a techno cut with brilliantly energetic drum programming and a big, perfectly placed vocal sample.

Switching up the vibe is ‘I May Be Dead, But One Day The World Will Be Beautiful Again’ with none other than dance legend Moby. It is a heavenly track with break beats, angelic melodies and a celestial feel that leaves you refreshed. The second half touches on raved-up drum & bass, gurgling minimal techno and harder techno with mind melting acid synths. The Horrorist contributes to the banging ‘My First Pill’, while the techno journey continues with ‘Unite’ featuring Gabriella Vergilov before the album finishes on the fluttering ambient track ‘Insania’, with mad church bells and manic percussion all bringing things to a close in style.

This is a broad, adventurous album that covers plenty of music ground and takes you on a true electronic trip from one of dance music’s most accomplished names.

Voitax welcomes newcomer Cyan85 to their roster. Characterised by its dreamy pads, retro-futurist arpeggios and slamming 808 beats, his debut EP, "Bay Of Sampieri" builds on electro's rich heritage to deliver a bouncy, dance-floor warmer.

Die Form is the legendary post-industrial electronic project leaded by French artist Philippe Fichot and active since the late 70's. Tears of Eros was originally released by the German imprint Hyperium Records in 1993 and shows Die Form on it's most intense and productive years. Sexual deviations, sadomasochism, fetish and domination set to danceable beats with a dark atmosphere.
This mini-album is re-issue for the first time on vinyl including all the original songs plus a different version of Doctor X. Limited to 333 copies with die-cut jacket silk-screen printed on deluxe black paper, printed inner sleeve and numbered card.

The second release on TDSR comes from the Prince of Florence - Dukwa. "Tears Like Stones" is his most varied body of work yet, and hints at the versatility of what's to come from this new Glaswegian label.

Marco Dukwa lives a life of many parallels. Growing up in a small town on the outskirts of Florence, he is the third of eight children in a working class family - by day working 13 hours shifts since adolescence to help provide for his siblings, all the while dreaming of music. By night he locks himself in his room, channelling his emotions through the only hardware he could afford – the MPC1000. Through his sampler he reflects various influences from dance music past and present, crafting tracks of rave euphoria, dusty Detroit house, gliding arpeggios and golden era electro.

At weekends, he is the darling of his local football team Antella FC for which he is the top goal scorer and subject of much adoration (even if it’s only from the average attendance of 50 people).

“Tears Like Stones” translates both the introspective recording process and the intent for versatile DJ use, percussion tools and peak time energy represented across each side. The EP demonstrates Dukwa’s path from 2008 to today – the culmination of more than a decade immersed in sound.

Exciting new electronic project E&D burst onto the scene in stunning style with the exhilarating ‘Not Enough’ and ‘Runaway’, released on FCR on 14th June and backed by remixes from acclaimed electronic producers Mall Grab and Ali Berger.

London based E&D have unleashed two scintillating vocal cuts which have UK clubbing culture at their very core, featuring classic Garage influences. The theme of heartbreak runs throughout both ‘Not Enough’ and ‘Runaway’ with an emphasis on harmony and melody which will be integral to the identity of the E&D project.

The deep and atmospheric ‘Not Enough’ presents a beautiful yet powerful female vocal whose tone and expression perfectly emphasises the message of lost love. E&D perfect balance this with contrasting shimmering and stabbing beats to produce a track that already has the hallmarks of a classic.

‘Runaway’ is an up-tempo, vintage-sounding UK Garage themed cut with poignant undertones, as the gorgeous female vocal again mourns a relationship which has moved on.

For the remixes, E&D have called upon two of electronic music’s most respected producers – Mall Grab and Ali Berger. Both offer a completely fresh perspective to the originals. With his remix of ‘Not Enough’ celebrated Australian Producer Mall Grab takes the original into deeper, tougher territory, stripping back and lowering the vocal and adding intense, almost tribal, percussion alongside vintage acid house beats.

FCR favourite Ali Berger also takes his working of ‘Runaway’ deep into the underground, emphasising the bass, cleverly layering the vocal and building to a peak-time floor-filler.

MW007, 'Furi', is a collection of tracks from two Berlin-based friends / artists Exael and Arad Acid. The material highlights the commonalities between their individual and collaborative works, moving from boundless and chaotic energy to soft kinetic radiance over the course of seven tracks.

Following 3 maxis on Hilltop Imprint and the label Construct Re-Form, the producer Fareed – formerly of the Society of Silence duo (Versatile, Concrete Music) – returns on the new label, MAZE, dedicated to experimental breaks and cinematic soundscapes.
This first EP, with irregular rhythms and metallic sounds, loses us in the meanders of a jungle and transports us into a world borrowed from mysticism.

Harvey McKay is back on the track, and stronger and harder than ever before! His last release for Cocoon climbed to the top position in the Beatport charts and stayed there for quite some time and it was about time that the drumcode- and soma-recordings producers returns to Cocoon.

And the wait was worth it as he manages it to bang the drums even more with his new release! 'Cinnamon Kiss' brings us spicey cinammon flavour for the colder days & nights that need to be heated up in all the clubs again after this super hot (but short) summer. A massive tech-house-tune with cool oldskool house chords and cool break downs that will put raverhands up in the air. However there is even more here waiting for you as 'Push It' does what the names says and pushes the beat even higher! This tune is energy loaded and will power your legs to dance, dance and dance. A pumping techno monster that even features a little D-Shake sample for the ones who know. Pure Testosterone and a clear message: Get on the floor and get crazy! One for the big raves!

Amsterdam collective De Lichting proudly presents their second solo EP on the label. Known for their collaborative compilations and multi-faced jam sessions, once in a while they shine a light on one member solely. This time it’s Utrecht based producer queniv with four high-energy power jams. He has appeared on all three De Lichting compilations before and is an active member of the group since they launched early 2018.

Opening track ‘Unfold’ starts at high pace with rubbery kick drums formed in an unstoppable groove. With its bleeping lazer shots and crafty programmed drum patterns it’s a powerful electro tool for joyful DJ-sets. ‘Unknown Territory’ continues on a slightly darker path, the ambiance is dreamy and floats smoothly into sub heavy territories. Another fresh take on electro on the flip-side with ‘Redesign’, a bright shining two-stepper followed by the muggy drums of ‘Viba’. It rounds of this highly recommended party pack for a wide range of DJ’s.

We are proud to welcome back San Francisco based DJ and producer Sepehr Alimagham for his debut album ‘Shaytoon’. Drenched in nostalgia from his upbringing, ‘Shaytoon’ pays homage to 1970s Iranian albums that were on rotation throughout his youth. Eight tracks of twisted acid, left-of center electro, sludgy psychedelia, and things-you-can-maybe-call-techno are a few of the sonic elements found within. Regular listeners will find Sepehr’s signature perspiratory dance-floor vibe, but some songs also showcase a low-slung, cerebral approach. Sepehr's unique sonic palette carves an interesting space in the dance music world by harnessing the spirit of his cultural ancestors. The artwork pays tribute to ‘70s Iranian pop and funk albums with bold Farsi calligraphy and portraits by Sahra Jajarmikhayat. In relation to the music, the album cover creates a dichotomy much like Throbbing Gristle's ’20 Funk Jazz Greats’. Berakhs (Dance).

2LP Over the past decade, SUED co-founder SW. has arranged the building blocks of dreamy rave and techno music-billowing pads, undulating sub-bass and adroit, nuanced drum programming-into and novel dance floor structures. TRUElipS, SW.’s first full album since 2016 and his first for Avenue 66, is a beguiling, fully-realised statement. The 12-track LP is rooted in the storied ’90s era when the spirit of orbital raves and free parties was channeled into massive leaps forward in the studio. A combination of house and drum & bass looms large, as does the much-referenced intelligent techno era, but if you’ve listened to an SW. record, you already know TRUElipS is the work of a singular auteur. Breakbeats, rave stabs and major chords permeate the album, motoring along on a chassis of sine-wave bass lines and SW’s widescreen percussive vision. Forays into downtempo and sweeping ambience keep the listener’s head in the clouds, while the superb melodic techno constructions that comprise the album’s core are at once contemplative and liable to bring on a giddy head rush. TRUElipS brims with the optimistic, escapist spirit that fueled dance music’s original triumph, a throwback to bright, imagined futures.

Mesmerising, ghostly, seductive, urgent, poignant, “Decider” is about the ultimate endgame: death. This track draws you into its web and holds you there. There’s no escape. Is there anything after ‘the end?’ If there is, will it bring happiness, or just more pain? And, are we to be judged by The Decider when we get there?

The inspiration, if you can call it that, for the song comes from the band’s own recent experiences. “We’ve lost a few people recently that we were close to. It does tend to make you ponder the universe, and whether you get a second act,” says Butch Dante, guitarist.

Filmed on location in the Texas panhandle, the video will be the second of a triptych of films written by Butch, focused on the band’s main preoccupation: the fact that the world is ending and people should be kinder to each other while it does.

Now they’ve been remixed. By these people:

Deetron
This Swiss maestro has one of the most characterful sounds in modern day techno. Taking a big inspiration from the big expansive, moody sounds of Detroit, Sam Geiser also borrows percussive influence from Chicago House whilst instilling his very own atmospheric personality, making for one hell of a ride.

Benedikt Frey
For our money, one of the most exciting exponents of leftfield house and disco there is. His music is always pushing boundaries, with a unique experimental spirit that has indie and punk deep in its heart.

Fort Romeau
Everything from widescreen, deep house, and warm, bubbly acid right through to raw, driving Italo and ethereal disco house; the Cin Cin boss is one of the most exciting and elegant exponents of today’s underground electronic scene.

Label Boss of UNCAGE label, Marco Faraone delivers a series of incredible remixes of Tin Man's Nonneo single, which was originally released in 2011.
First up is the Floor Mix, which leaves the wispy, undulating acid line form the original in place but layers in more heavy, earth rattling drums down below. It makes for a truly hypnotic track.

Then comes a dub version, which is built on elastic drums with gentle acid riffs floating above the compelling kicks, and last of all is a Dreamy Version that is awash with lush heavenly pads that float up to the skies as the rooted drums keeping things moving down low.
This is a varied and vital package from Faraone, coming on a fresh slab of 10".

Lunar Orbiter Program is ready for another launch.
At the helm of ‘Sensory Deprivation’ mission we find Torai, fresh from the International Space Station Program.
A must have for all the Drexciya Lover.

Censor - A new electro label taking influence from other worldly communications, all translated via synthesis. Alex Jann supplying sonics from an array of hardware based instruments on the label's first outing. With a rattling A side mix from Marco Bernardi of the title track.

The release was mastered by Keith Tenniswood at Curve Pusher.

Clouds present Maxiboy, an outlet for the Scottish duo to release solely their own productions. The label will be a vessel for experimentation within the realms of highly functional techno, aimed directly towards the club.

2x12"

Boris Bunnik aka Conforce returns to Delsin for his fifth album on the label. Across eight tracks he delivers a wide range of styles yet keeps the ethereal and textural aesthetic of his sound recognizable at all points. His atmospheric approach combined with razor sharp percussion and intricately programmed synths make "Dawn Chorus" one of his most adventurous albums to date. Flirting with his Versalife moniker at times, this album leans to his experimental works, strongly optimized for dance floors using his unique sounddesign skills and unstoppable drift to reinvent himself.

DOWNWELL is the solo project of Giorgi Kolbaia and comes out from one of the planet’s hottest scene nowadays speaking about dark techno and ebm (Tbilisi/Georgia). It could be perfectly described as a paving roller for the dance floor or as a hell thunder storm.

Resounding dark beats and distorted voices to burn everything around. All tracks have been specially remastered for LONG CUT Vinyl by Eric Van Wonterghem at Prodam Berlin.

Straight from the confines of her chosen Berlin home, Starlight impresses with an update of her singular, machine-driven techno. Ranging from banging to introspective, this record shows the artist at her most versatile yet, pairing her signature bone-dry analogue output with emotive atmospherics and playful vibrancy.
Starting out deep, A1 contrasts uptempo acid licks with grand layers of strings, followed by the slowly building, equally vibey A2. Panoramic washes create an ambience of space, the elastic kick steadily holding down the floor until a late swash of percussion seals the deal.
The flip carries one of Starlight’s most abrasive moments, featuring rave-style sirens right out the gate, treated to some crazy live filtering with epic acidic effects. Mysterious grooves on the last track, its offbeat synth swaying an electric tension, restrained yet powerful.

Berlin’s new duo 'NNHMN' is the new sensation of the european dark synthwave, not in vain NEW NOISE MAGAZINE recently described their proposal as “…a spacious drone of pulses and incantations over layers of shivering synthesizer tracks that feel like panoramic immersion in a gritty and strobed Berlin factory sound installation, while Lee’s vocals culled from the catalogue of classic 4AD…”, you will find all that and much more on their very expected vinyl debut.
All tracks have been specially remastered for LONG CUT vinyl by Eric Van Wonterghem at Prodam Berlin.

- LIMITED EDITION COLOURED VINYL -

Legendary UK outfit Future Sound Of London kicks off with a trippy head jam to soothe the mind of electronic dreamers. Berlin's Monolake aka Robert Henke follows with a beat-driven and heavy industrial piece of clattering sounds and whirring rhythm mechanics. David Morley completes this sixth EP of the 10 years series in style: "Traytor" brims with depth and floaty atmospherics pushed further by low range beat parts. Real endorphin material.

Broken techno and jungle cuts from Manchesters Thodén

There are few genres in which German artists play such a central pioneering role as they do in electronic music, be it techno, electropop, trance or rave. At the frontline for many years were Kraftwerk and U96, two absolute trailblazers of this musical direction. While Kraftwerk wrote international music history mainly in the 1970s with cult albums such as Autobahn (1974), Radio-Aktivität (1975), Trans Europa Express (1977) and Die Mensch-Maschine (1978), U96 had a profound influence on the global pop music, rave and techno scene of the 1990s with hits such as ‘Das Boot’, ‘Love Sees No Colour’, ‘Night In Motion’ and ‘Heaven’. Transhuman, scheduled for release on UNLTD Recordings on 30th October 2020, will feature a spectacular collaboration between U96 (Ingo Hauss

& Hayo Lewerentz) and Wolfgang Flür, Kraftwerk’s drummer in the years between 1972 and 1987 and therefore involved in the most seminal albums by the group from Düsseldorf.

This remarkable cooperation was first announced and implemented by two joint numbers on U96’s 2018 offering Reboot. Transhuman sees U96 and Wolfgang Flür develop their creative exchange across a full album, creating fascinating sonic worlds. The title song ‘Transhuman’ and an updated version of ‘Zukunftsmusik (Radiophonique)’ will be released as lead singles, including, as we’ve come to expect from U96, experimental video clips. That New York record label Radikal Records immediately secured the rights to the album for the US and Canada points to major interest in this project, not only on these shores but also across the Atlantic.

“Transhuman is a stylistic mélange of our different histories,” describe Wolfgang Flür and U96 masterminds Hauss and Lewerentz an offering that is spectacular in many respects, featuring, along with typical U96 tracks such as ‘Clone’ and ‘Specimen’, numbers such as ‘Transhuman’, ‘Planet In Fever’ and ‘Sexersizer’ that are inspired by Flür’s past. Notably, the content has been reduced to the sheer basics, in other words: sparingly used associative statements with deep, but at times also playful and mysterious messages that the listener feels rather than consciously registers. The lyrics are about the transformation of people through technology and our massive interference in life on our planet. Hauss: “Pieces like ‘Zukunftsmusik’ and ‘Transhuman’ don’t tell a story in the classic sense, they articulate emotions and associations in very few words, bringing to mind recordings such as Radio-Aktivität, Autobahn and Die Mensch-Maschine. In addition Transhuman, features a number of melodies created on the basis of computer algorithms, in other words fractal music which takes us even further back in history, to Klaus Schulze, Stockhausen, the electronics laboratories of the fifties and sixties and the musique concrete compositional technique.”

June Record's latest compilation welcomes new artists on the label, the Australian newcomer Lbeeze, Raum-Zeit (Toni Quiroga & Eindkrak), Mannequin Records' boss Alessandro Adriani, Morah (Phormix), Penelope's Fiance and Outermost & Venus Volcanism.

This 3-part compilation is a celebration of On The 5th Day - a project born out of love - honouring the music, moments and individuals that have helped to make it so special.

What follows is a journey through the spectrum of sound On The 5th Day so proudly represents and has become renowned for, the full compilation mirroring the vision for our events: to create unforgettable flow from beginning to end - a record for each part of the night.

Our love and gratitude goes to all those who have joined us along the way.

Known for blurring the lines of conventional traveling with adventurous parties, the Berlin/Brazil-based collective O MATO opens a new chapter in their history. The first release of O MATO Recordings reflects on a broad spectrum of tastes, representing not only the crew’s diverse musical aspirations but also the many faces of the worldwide family circle that has been gathered carefully over the years. What begun in the Amazon rainforest as an experiment with ambiguous outcome now finds its way back pressed into vinyl: A piece of sonic nostalgia, from the jungle to your turntables and beyond.

O MATO Recordings 001 compiles nine unreleased tracks from contemporary fellow artists as well as two KPM library pieces and a 1996 beat by the Long Beach G-Funk crew Foesum. Special thanks to our friends from Childhood Intelligence for connecting the dots.

VA 4-Track EP - Tracks by Ashtrejinkins, Bataille, Dogpatrol and Pearla. A selection of dirty and powerfull tracks, combines the trible technoid soundscapes with rhythmic drum work.

Sonic Groove Records presents the advent of a new strain of contemporary techno for 2018 and advancing electronic music culture further into the future with this release. This is a document of the convergence and alliance of two distinct artistic visions, that of veteran and pioneer Thomas P Heckmann under his Drax moniker and current dedicated activist Blush Response. The results of this cutting edge collaboration are pure dance floor revelations of the infectious and mind expanding kind. Four cryptic transmissions initiating a sequence of combined sonic DNA output.

This is an interpretation of techno rooted in radical experimentation and upgraded to the next level with compelling innovation. Side A initiates the drama with mysterious analog machine signals of both purist and experimental dark techno that are composed of elements crafted at the molecular level. Side B continues with intensity delivering more of the combined audio expression of the artists. The intense coded communication weaves through in waves of perfectly balanced synthesis that is reinforced with heavy percussion and complex intertwined and engaging rhythms. A new key to other dimensions in sound. Essential

Following our deep & dubby vibes, this time is our Swiss friend Philipp Lichtblau as usual, no digital promotion and limited edition.

Repress

Following on from March's Shlømo remix package featuring Donato Dozzy, Bambounou, Shlømo and label boss Kennedy Smith, Bright Sound's second release of 2016 will new a brand new EP from Sweden's Andreas Tilliander.
With his releases on his own Repeatle imprint and his TM404 alias's hardware-driven techno featuring on Skudge White and Kontra-Musik, Tilliander is among Sweden's most versatile talents working right now. His arrival on Bright Sounds is of a piece with BSRX 004, last year's reissue of fellow Swede Henrik Johansson's 1997 EP as Smyglyssna. As with Johansson's record, Tilliander's Stettin Libau EP explores slower tempo techno, locating the moments of space and energy in between its rhythmic structures. This search is most keenly observed in 'Knapp Ledsyn', with its ever-shifting sonic landscape melting away at various points to reveal its unusual, skeletal beats and hidden melodic details, while the EP title track and 'Nybliven Lots' apply that approach to what might at first be a traditional dub techno template, yet still offering further small moments of off-beat character. Completing the release is a 'Detox Operation' remix of 'Knapp Ledsyn' from Nonplace Records chief Burnt Friedman, in which the German veteran strips things down to a gentle patter of drums overlaid with suggestive flashes of the original's rich atmospheric elements.

''In these darks days where clubs are closed, we feel the urge even more, to keep on pushing inspiring electronic music. Supporting artists as much as possible with our 13th ÆX chapter. This time we've collected music from 9 artists which effectively makes this our broadest mini compilation so far.

First of all, we are welcoming the Warsaw-based duo Private Press (which already did 2 full EP’s on our Indigo sister label). Second, we are very excited to welcome Emeline (Also known as the Parisian artist' Molly, announcing a more techno exploring alter-ego) and two Dutch artists: Ignez (also known for his stunning debut in his own Somov imprint) and Daniel van Loenen under the name of DVL.

Next to these debuts, expect more fire from ÆX household names. Kicking off with Jasper Wolff & Ivano Tetelepta who teamed creating a 7 minute wobbly Detroit bomb. And Kaap showing off his skills with his 1-take track ''Relic''. While Human Space Machine set's the right mood with his stunning contribution.''

Remixes from LA-4A, Edit Select, Janice, and Dyad. Limited clear vinyl.

Vinyl Only, Limited to 400 copies, NO REPRESS Series.
