Sweat Equity is thrilled to present its first entry into the world of wax with XP, a powerful drop from Philadelphia’s DJ Delish. Spanning six tracks, the record is a striking introduction to a singular talent.

DJ Delish lives at the epicenter of East Coast club culture, having cut her teeth on the ballroom circuit as both a DJ and performer. Over the past few years, she’s also unleashed a string of self-released EPs and albums on her SoundCloud, as well as a split single with Sweat Equity’s Macy Rodman. XP marks her first outing on vinyl, and she pulls no punches.

The record is a rich landscape, flawlessly weaving between ballroom, hip-hop, ballads and house. Her command of multiple musical forms speaks to her time both in the booth and on the dancefloor. The vital energy of each track is matched only by the wit and incisiveness of her lyrics, with songs about everything from shady promoters to sexual intrigue. Her wealth of experience and abundant narrative ingenuity bring personal stories and intricate histories to life.

Indy Nyles BLK SYSTM EP delivers four tracks of contemporary sounding techno. “BLK HRT” is a fluid amalgam of rolling, glassy synth tones, “BLK MND” is an exercise in similar territory but some of the rough corners are shaved off to allow room for a snaking acid line that begins to emerge a mere 30 seconds in, “BLK SOL”, is a shuffling, rolling, acid track, which lacks a conventional four to the floor kick but is still a fantastic beat tool for the creative DJ. The EP closes with “BLK SYSTM,” which features a gorgeous, lush, beatless intro, like the stunning opening segments that used to grace Detroit tracks of yore. Sirena Negra’s second release is another reason to get excited about this fledgling label and makes it an imprint to watch in the future.

Iron Blu with his next release on the label, Truth and Soul I (yes there will be II & III later) serves up four tracks of tough, dub-tinged techno inspired by and a logical progression from his postpunk roots.

Our Italian artist Luca Morris can surely relax now. This is already his 4. release for Monika Kruse's label and definitely no end in sight. Besides supporting Juventus Turin and running his own label Polar Noise (together with Paul C) he is busier with his dj gigs than ever. So he was relaxed enough to woth on these 4 fantastic tracks, all different but still showcasing his trademark style.

Coventry’s second son of Drum & Bass returns to UVB-76 Music for his first release on the label since 2017’s ‘Pathos’ EP. Two years on, and four tracks strong, ‘The Last Men’EP delves into the darker caverns of modern jungle, tethering howling pad works to a sturdy hull of abrasive percussive rhythms.

Coarse high end peaks are trussed against bottom end vibrations which are fixated to the ground as three tracks are firmly rooted in the dance while a fourth track is the fallout at trip hop tempo.

Right 1 year after their massive 'Take Some Time' the two Italian boys are back with 3 new belters on Monika Kruse's label Terminal M. For 'The Race' they even got help from their longtime friend Mousse T. with his sensual piano skills. So give it up for Paul C & Paolo Martini's new EP to conquer worldwide's housefloors.

Following a superb remix of Hakimonu's 'Insular Realms' in 2015, Ed Davenport's Inland alias returns to Deep'a & Biri's Black Crow Recordings with a brand new EP for the label's tenth release. Having played a key role in the relaunch of Function's Infrastructure New York imprint, in addition to operating his own widley admired Counterchange label, Davenport's techno project has brought the Englishman to wider recognition as one of the genre's most talented producers. The new EP's three original tracks finds Inland exploring all facets of his diverse sound: A1, 'Metatlantic' is driving, acid-laced techno, 'Cosinaxis', employs electro beat patterns and IDM aesthetics, B-side opener, 'Lagoon9', is a melodic Detroit-indebted big room weapon. Closing out the EP is a remix of from 3KZ aka Italian duo Z.I.P.P.O & Kaelan, the latter of whom provided one of Black Crow's standout releases so far under his 2030 alias with last year's Timeworm EP. Their remix of 'Cosinaxis' follows hot on the heels of their debut album 'Parallel Reflections', released earlier this year on Z.I.P.P.O.'s Fides imprint.

Following Merv's EP, Taped Artifact now presents a new outing by the label co-founder Kevin Arnemann. With three original cuts, showcasing the labels characteristic dub-influenced techno sound, the EP is complemented with two remixes by Jonas Kopp. Arnemann's 'Trash Polka EP' kicks off with saturated 808-grooves, driven by steady dub-chords and hard hitting claps. Next, the original track sees a special dub influenced treatment by Jonas Kopp. The in Spain residing Argentinian delivers a stripped down, yet high energized techno version. As a digital exclusive, Kopp prepares a second interpretation, following the tradition of a classic rooted dub sound. On the flipside, 'Revertigo' sees Arnemann utilise a rumbling break beat, topped with icy rides, blissful dub chords and cinematic pads, taking you on an energetic trip. 'Ideology' is bringing the EP to a closing. With heavily processed chords and hard hitting drums, Kevin Arnemann creates a suspense that leave you wanting for more. Vital Sales Points: - 3rd solo EP by Kevin Arnemann on Taped Artifact - Two remixes by Jonas Kopp - EP comes with download code for full EP + digital exclusive bonus remix by Jonas Kopp

Ophir Kutiel AKA Kutiman is a multi-instrumentalist from Tel Aviv, a “psychedelic space funk architect” to quote Straight No Chaser. When we were approached by his label Siyal about recruiting ZamZam/Khaliphonic artists for a remix project, we loved the idea right away - dub without borders or boundaries is our passion, and getting our hands on Kutiman’s freeform analog explorations felt like an amazing opportunity to push that passion further. All four remixes revel in the freedom of the original tunes, and each, while anchored in dubwise techniques, are totally unhindered by tempo or other genre constraints.

Alter Echo & E3 open with a remix of “Unknown,” the set’s only 140 tune, full up with a bubbling cauldron of bassline and flutes, esoteric vinyl archaeology, spring reverb shocks, and swung percussion.

J:Kenzo, known for 140 and 160 bpm sound system bangers, here takes the chance to stay deep - but in a chill mode - unfurling a beautiful journey of syncopated drum work and slapping percussion framing the lush, meandering melodies of the original “Behind The Noise."

Gulls’ rework of “Mineral” rocks with an offbeat feel, technically in four, but swaying like it’s in three. Plucked guitar figures recall the African roots of contemporary bass music, and tape hiss buffets the listener back and forth through a sonic hall of portals and passages.

Perhaps the most surprising of all four four versions is Headland’s closing “Lucid Dream” remix, which sets course for dub techno country and never looks back. Combining the best of the producer’s masterful sound design and sense of build-and-drop dynamics with the idiom’s 4/4 pulse and focus on immersive space, Headland closes a set as inspired as the album it was based on.

Terence Fixmer reached worldwide recognition with the release of his debut album Muscle Machine on DJ Hell's seminal International Deejay Gigolos imprint in 1999. The album opened a whole new genre by combining Electro, Industrial, EBM and Techno into a more dance floor-focused EBM style, simply called 'Techno Body Music'. The French producer and live act has consistently explored and redefined the boundaries of modern Techno -and he is not slowing down. Dance Of The Comets is the second release on the newly relaunched NovaMutelabel. NovaMuteis the seminal techno label that has been home to Plastikman, Speedy J, Juan Atkins, Luke Slater, Joey Beltramand more. NovaMute, born again, recently released Cognitive Resonance by Nicolas Bougaïeffand will release the forthcoming EP by Charlotte De Witte. Terence Fixmer'ssound deftly avoids repetition by developing soundscapes which maintain musical depth and integrity. He above all preserves an original style, an increasingly experimental, simultaneously ruthless and instantly recognizable aesthetic.

This is Terminal M's second edition of the EP series 'Cookies' to support up and coming talents from all over the world and showcase the skills the next producer generation.

Sonic Groove Records is excited to announce a new artist addition to the label roster, Crystal Geometry hailing from Grenoble, France. Recording under different aliases in the French Hardcore/techno scene for over the past 20 years, producer Maxime Fabre is now honing his skills on creating a powerful hybrid of EBM/Industrial/Techno under his Crystal Geometry guise. His debut EP for Sonic Groove titled 'Red Faith Militia' is a ferocious 4 song release conceptually centered on themes related to the former Eastern Bloc and the ruling Communist government. Created with analog modular systems all four songs are chock full of intricately woven patterns of syncopated bassline sequences, dark string pads and overtones, spoken and shouted vocal phrases layered on top of pounding industrial rhythms. This is the real deal EBM, that reminisces with the first wave of Belgian & German EBM but is squarely placed in the here and now with very contemporary sound design & production techniques. The cre`me de la cre`me in Future EBM is here!

Minimalist, dark and heavy-techno from the L.I.E.S. Jealous God, Semantica affiliate and techno butcher Domenico Crisci. designed to decimate.

The Fact That Movement Is Equivalent To Existence And Energy Is A Stringent
Factor To Giordano As Well As An Essential Support To Lean On For This New
Release. Although, The Italian Producer Limits His Inspiration To The
Disproportionate Strength Exercised By A Core To Materialize Relentlessly The
Continous Rotatory Displacement Of A Body. Nothing Is More Penetrating And
Robust Than The Magnitude Displayed By The Most Deeper Part Of An Incessant
Circular Flow.
´axis Of Rotation´ Hoards All That Dymanism That Is Distributed From Only A
Physical Point. Giordano Sets His Principal Piece In A State Of Incessant
Excitement With A Development That Pulls Off Full Of Vigour And Evolves
Methodically To Implode Towards Its Progressive Extintion. Of This Original Track Is
Important To Mention An Uninterrupted Cadenced Line That Serves Low
Frequencies, Carrying All The Weight Of The Piece With Delicates Modulations. But
As A Secondary Plane, And Not Less Important Than The Rest, We Have To Highlight
A Great Work Of Composition With Treble Armonic Motifs, On The Percussive
Elements As Well As The Atmospheres.
Concerns Music Publishes ´axis Of Rotation´ In A Twelve Inch Format Containing
This Giordano Track And Three Big Exegesis. The First One Is Elaborated By Kastil
With A More Accurate Version Of The Original Track But With More Resounding Style,
Thus Achieving More Intensity For The Bass Delimited Cycles. In Charge Of The
Second Remix Track Is Kalter Ende Who Adopts A More Lysergic Character With A
Hotchpotch Of Piercings Pads That Fluctuate As A Permanent Cycle. And Finally
Mike Parker Adapts His Interpretation To His Usual Swaying Style With A Fix Line Of
Immutable Fluctuation.
In Addition To Be Published On Vinyl, ´axis Of Rotation´ Will Also Be Available In
Digital, And For That Purpose Giordano Releases The Reference With Two More
Tracks That Will Only Be Available In This Format, ´drift´and ´storm´. With The First
One He Mantains The Same Dynamic Attitude Used In ´axis Of Rotation´, In
Contrast Storm Starts With A Syncopated Cadence And Its Essence Lies On The
Melodic Execution.

Long time innovator Mathias Kaden debuts on Rekids with two rolling cuts with remixes by leading Japanese artist Hiroshi Watanabe and Delsin Records regular Vril.

With two decades of experience, Mathias Kaden is without a doubt one of house music’s most consistent artists. Known for his versatile approach to music making, Kaden has released on labels like Ovum and Pets, not to mention Mule Musiq and Ornaments under his Japanese inspired side project Mathimidori. Not only that, Kaden has proven his adaptability with remixes of many top tier artists like DJ Koze, Wareika and Jesse Rose. He now joins Rekids to further establish his unwavering reputation.

‘Liberate Drums’ is already highly sought after having generated a lot of hype on a Honey Dijon podcast earlier this year and rightly so - Kaden layers claps with a looped leading groove and warped vocals. Vril then distorts the original, bringing filtered effects and crunchy percussion, while Hiroshi Watanabe’s musical rendition transforms the track with epic strings that work amongst elongated vocals giving the track a mystical quality. Finishing on a darker note, ‘Helicopter’ utilises warping waves which oscillate atop a bed of hammering percussion, infused with a groove that is destined to get you moving.

Mika Vainio left behind a lots of unfinished projects and unreleased music.

This archive series is presenting some pieces which can be considered as completed works.

The first volume comprise of two selections from the 48:22 long untitled recording Mika Vainio did as Ø for the radio project Ambient City at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Helsinki 1994.

Paul DeMarinis is a key figure in the history of electronic music since the 1970s. Collaborator with the likes of Robert Ashley, David Behrman, and David Tudor, DeMarinis is a pioneer in the development of gallery sound installation and digital music technologies. Black Truffle is thrilled to announce the release of a double-LP collection, selected in collaboration with the artist, focussing on DeMarinis's exploration of synthesized voice and the digital analysis and manipulation of speech sounds. Drawing together tracks dispersed on compilations along with a number of pieces previously unheard in any form, Songs Without Throats offers a revelatory look into DeMarinis's alternately accessible and uncompromising production between 1978 and 1995. Opening with a mesmerizing piece from 1978 pairing the voice and tamboura playing of Anne Klingensmith with strings of letters spat out by a Speak n' Spell to the accompaniment of the randomised melodic patterns of DeMarinis's homebuilt electronic instrument 'The Pygmy Gamelan', the record then dispenses with the live human voice in favour of its recorded and synthetic doubles. We follow DeMarinis's restless probing of the possibilities of new technologies, from the hacked Speak n' Spell (which gives us the austere 'Et Tu, Klaatu' 1979, another duet with Klingensmith, this time on bowed psaltery, in which the toy's synthetic voice is stretched into an alien song) through to the use of digital audio samples manipulated with home computer technology in the early 1990s (including a remarkable dream-like collage piece that weaves a rare recording of Stalin's voice and bird-like electronic twittering derived from its formant-glides into a rich tapestry of samples reflective of the dictator's musical life). In between we get a rich sampling of DeMarinis's signature work with speech melodies - usually unnoticed melodic inflections that lie within speech patterns - which he analyses and translates into synthesized musical accompaniment. These pieces draw on a wide variety of textual and vocal sources, which range from the hilarious to the menacing ('Cincinatti (1830-1850)' sets a detailed description of butchering techniques, for example) and an equally broad range of musical conceptions, combining elements as seemingly unlikely as Beethoven's Opus 31 pianos sonatas and the sounds of 80s synth pop. The results are an extraordinary combination of the alien and the familiar. As DeMarinis himself characterises his work with vocal synthesis, this is 'a kind of signal that simultaneously carried and obscured meaning and ideation, even as it created a sound world totally alien in esthetic'. Presented in a deluxe gatefold sleeve with archival images and liner notes by Paul DeMarinis. Design by Stephen O'Malley. Mastered and cut by Rashad Becker at D&M, Berlin

Spain meets India with a touch of Canada!!! This time it's true: it's the unsual collaborations which are the special ones. Thanks to their dj travels and hi speed internet, spanish dj/producer Ramiro Lopez produced three enormous floorfillers together with Arjun Vagale from New Delhi which instantly convinced Monika Kruse to release on her label. With the remix from Toronto based duo The Junkies this EP truly spans the global with the ingredients from three different continents.

Third EP by Dutch avantgarde techno artist Stefan Vincent, including a Artefakt remix.

The dark lord himself has been creating a big stir in both the Hardcore and Drum & Bass scene these last few years. His productions have completely destroyed dance floors all across the globe and to add to that this beast man has undisputedly won the loudness war.

On his first full length album for PRSPCT The Satan has taken his time to create a hard as nails and diverse quality album taking us listeners all across the board and in to the darkest pits off hell.

Pounding Hardcore Kicks, crushing snares and a ton of audio violent filth delivered with a production level that is simply not of this earth. Nine solo tracks + a diabolic collaboration with PRSPCT label boss Thrasher make this an album a must have for every fan of the more XTRM side of electronic music. With Hell On Earth The Satan has unleashed a beast capable of crushing everything, it's becoming more and more obvious that god is losing his battle on earth...

All Hail The Satan!

Memoria Ltd is a Vinyl Only label from the Dutch imprint Memoria Recordings. Musical art combined with amazing paintings on the covers. Unique & Limited.

Wilted Woman is a producer whose left-field approach to electronic music emerges from an experimentally minded and refreshingly unapologetic attitude, forged on the punk and DIY scenes of the East Coast of the United States, and more recently, Berlin. Across her debut release for Phantasy, she contributes two unpredictable and outlandish cuts of hyper-modern club culture, complimented by a remix from fellow outsider alchemist, Laurel Halo.

‘Lon Lon Night Vision’ is a creeping, industrial interpretation of acid sounds, peeling away layers of tension to reveal a melody straight from the cold heart of a John Carpenter soundtrack, resolving in uniquely dystopian funk.

‘No Stinger’ immediately unleashes a burrowing, cybernetic ear-worm of a hook, biochemically blossoming into a sublime, undulating landscape of contemporary trance, rich in ideas and sonic euphoria.

Finally, Laurel Halo turns the screws on the original mix of Lon Lon Night Vision, extracting an almost impossibly taut slice of techno, building raw tension towards a blistering rush of electro psychedelia.

Swedish DJ Adeline lands on Crosstown Rebels with You*re Sick, a diverse four track release that features a stunning remix from Rex Club regular D’Julz.

The EP opens with the title track You*re Sick. Pronounced kicks merge with subtle pads, as an enchanting vocal sample whispers along. Bubble-like pops are brought in alongside intermittent hi-hats, creating a real dance-floor ready record. The D’Julz dub comes next. Staying true to the original, the addition of an electro-like breakdown builds energy, before that addictively-good kick is brought back in. Dust To Bone is a fast-paced minimal thumper, that takes no prisoners as it moves along with a wholesome bassline and softly driving percussion, before Rite De Passage rounds off the EP with powerful pads and warm keys.

Brought up in the rolling Swedish countryside, Adeline is a DJ, producer and vocalist whose talents reach far further than the DJ booth. Having founded electronic music duo Housewives with La Fleur in 2006, Adeline has gone on to release standout productions on the likes of Culprit and Kindisch Records. D’Julz is an artist whose presence in the scene has been felt for decades. For twenty two years, the French native has been running the now legendary “Bass Culture” night at Rex Club, and has hosted some of the scenes most respected DJs in recent times, including Seth Troxler, Sonja Moonear and Nicolas Lutz.

Oblique Russian sound strategist Natalia Salmina’s latest forking path portfolio as Atariame, Voiceless, arose in the wake of a dissociative relocation to Moscow, where she found herself adrift amidst a manic metropolis, alone in a skyscraper staring out at trees: “It made me lose faith in my ability to communicate, in my ideas about life.” Days without speaking turned to weeks. Even in private she felt estranged from her voice, and soon ceased singing.

For solace she turned to her Waldorf Blofeld, mining its panoramic frequencies to craft a shivering suite of futurist-noir nocturnes and rhythmic noise vignettes, equal parts exorcism and manifestation, desperation and delirium. Track titles hint at the headspace – “Outside At 5 AM,” “Same Thought All Day,” “Stay Late” – mirroring the music’s mood of hoods up, headphones on, wandering empty urban tunnels under flickering streetlights. Enigmatically, Salmina slips in a sliver of spectral voice on the intro and exit songs (“Breathe Exercise” and “Deconstruction”), framing them as induction into and escape from the cryptic isolationist condition of the rest of the collection. Mastered by P. Nikolsky, Powerhouse Moscow. Design by Britt Brown.

Following his return with 12s on Vakant and Boddika's Nonplus throughout 2017, Avatism lands on Parachute with 4 '90s-inspired emo-trance breakbeat summertime anthems for people who despise summer. Vinyl comes with a digital download featuring a track we couldn't fit on the record because we are not good with maths.

Informa Records comes with its 9th release "Unconscious Perception EP" this time a collaboration from Deepbass (Informa, Soma) & Ness (The Gods Planet, EarToGround).

Finally Represed

New nheoma from the label bosses, with a killer Pfirter remix. And closing the release, the track Solar Masses featured on Oscar Muleros Unknown Landscapes cd mix released on Polegroup.

* Haunter Records co-founder and former member of Cage Suburbia Daniele Guerrini delivers a new release as Heith, after a period of intense collaborations with artists such as Jesse Osborne-Lanthier, Weightausend, Ruben Patino and more. Moving the projects into new territories influenced by traveling and fierce introspection, elaborated by organic textures and evolving sonic objects in a digital ecosystem. Heith hands in three tracks of meditative beauty, each one conceived as a build-up of layers and variations around a different theme. The track 'Maria', also features longtime collaborator Matthias Girardi AKA Weightausend, adding facets and nuances to the tune's design.

* Laguna is a polychrome electronic dreamscape, in which the ritualistic character that undergoes all of Heith's production assumes new forms, revealing a somewhat fractal harmonic and emotional structure. Lacerating the texture of consciousness into a different realm, held together by idiosyncratic laws of physics.

* Mysterious cult figure, Leonel Castillo is the best-kept secret the Argentine electronic music scene has brought forward so far. An icon and at the same time virtually unknown, Leonel is one of the most prominent Latin American talents. A stylistic chameleon and an ultra talented jack of all trades, he is hard to pinpoint, and even harder to categorize. Surfacing wherever it takes the vanguard talent, he's been releasing music as Leonel Castillo and under various monikers - Arnold Slab, Boeing or Unknown Artista are some of his aliases - on labels as diverse as the legendary Estatus Discos, or Telegraph, Ilian Tape, Airdrop, Greener, Sushitech and of course on his own imprint, Groovear.

* Constantly reinventing himself, Leonel Castillo manages to present his musical talent in an even more refined context every time one of his sought-after releases comes out, it ´s impossible to predict his next steps. From remixing rock and pop giants such as Miranda! and the Babasonicos, to getting commissioned to remix Brandt Brauer Frick on !K7 Records and JT Donaldson on Classic, touring the States, to djing at underground club nights in his local 'barrio' while finishing off his new releases, the Argentine artist has neither limits nor criteria which makes him so uttermost interesting and universal. Ranging from deep dub sounds to futuristic funk reminiscent of the earliest days, his music radiates acid and old school house of the boogiesque kind, paired with rock-bottom grooves which resonate the ancient spirit of early day techno while remaining absolutely timeless.

* Called into existence in 2005 by Leonel Castillo, Groovear was conceived as an outlet for his countless monikers and projects. Groovear was initally designed as a netlabel in order to share the immense amounts of music produced by Leonel. The idea of endless sharing and downloading is something intrinsically connected to Argentinean history. No traditional record labels were able to operate after the introduction of the compact disc in the '80s. Leonel Castillo put out a few releases between '05 and '07 under his different monikers - Boeing, Dubjack or Unknown Artista. 5 years later, the label has finally prepared its vinyl moment, presenting all aspects and dimensions of Castillo's ideas.
The first vinyl editions of his own Groovear label will cut those facts into deep wax - starting with "1974" and "Corriendo Al Cometa", two original unreleased numbers, on which Leonel develops his deep, hypnotic, techier and sometimes dubby sound.

The clergy is pleased to present the 8th solo Hypnus record by our adept veteran Luigi Tozzi where he takes his signature deep techno sound to a new level. It has already been nearly two years since the release of Binary Sunset and now we gladly share with you a fresh continuation that takes us on another journey to a galaxy far, far away. Packaged inside a custom cut, full-color sleeve with stunning artwork by Reza Afshar.

Early support from Cassegrain, Cio D'Or, Deepbass, Ness, Svreca, TM404, Etapp Kyle, Iori, Samuli Kemppi, Takaaki Itoh and Par Grindvik to name a few.

After several acclaimed releases on Astropolis, Stripped Muzic and Bedrock records in a short space of time, Caduceus Records enlist the French producer for the next 12" slab of techno on the label.


Benjamin Leclercq (Madben) grew up in Northern France, not far from the Belgian border, discovering electronic music at the end of 90s and delved into the Belgian club scene where underground sounds were already being spun, leading to his first foray into djing when he moved to Lille, back in 2000. It wasn't until he arrived in Orleans that he began composing electronic music in 2007.


Quickly picked up by the press, he was crowned a 'Rising Talent' by Trax Magazine, and is set to follow in the footsteps of his French production forefathers, Laurent Garnier or Agoria, in paving a way for himself through the growing slew of artists out there. Having already caught the eyes and ears of the old techno guard and heavyweight producers including Dave Clarke, Carl Craig, Skudge, John Digweed and Ben Sims, Madben looks set for great heights.


On 'Couleurs De Danse,' Benjamin provides a tempered palette of tracks which flow from red (Danse Rouge), to blue (Danse Bleue), to the veiled and stripped back black (Danse Noire), all taking on different shades of percussive techno. The collection of tracks is then topped off by Brazilian born producer, Urbano.

This is NovaMute's first release since MOTOR (Bryan Black and Oly Grasset) over ten years ago. The Release will be 3 weeks available as VINYL ONLY.

Nova Mute, a subsidiary of Mute (Depeche Mode, Goldfrapp, New Order, Liars, Erasure, Moby), began in 1992 as a response to the growing demand for techno releases in the UK. Originally presenting white labels and imports, NovaMute went on to release records by Plastikman, Speedy J, Juan Atkins, Luke Slater and Joey Beltram to name a few, this is Nova Mute's first release since over ten years ago

Nicolas Bougaïeff presents his new EP on seminal British imprint NovaMute. As a producer he harbours a diverse musical background, having studied in a conservatoire setting whilst foraying into anti-authoritarian rave culture. He is also a respected lecturer, regularly teaching masterclasses in composition and speaking at global events such as Mutek and Ableton Loop - the results of which come to life in the inquisitive spirit of his productions. Cognitive Resonance explores elements of psytrance, gabber and techno through a compositional lens, drawing on the artist's love for avant-garde forms and long-standing relationship with the electronic music community. The title track lays out long, expansive phrases and warped crescendos to create a disorienting structure, whilst distant harmonies, distorted kick drums and shattering effects merge into a hypnotic form on 'Truthful Hyperbole'. Lastly, 'Fake News' mangles our sense of rhythmic familiarity, disrupting the 4/4 beat with a complex metre and sinister melody. This is NovaMute's first release since MOTOR (Bryan Black and Oly Grasset) over ten years ago. T as well as forging invaluable links with labels such as Tresor and Probe, which allowed them to license rare tracks for a wider audience. Forthcoming releases on NovaMute will include EP's from Terence Fixmer and Charlotte de Witte.

the new systematic release !!! as usual a high quality minimal electro house bomb !!

Repress

Subjected is back with the 2nd part of the Selected Works, His focus is on functionality, these 4 cuts are extremely functional for any situation, giving the user the choice between different palette of sounds very meticulously selected for you.

Limited Repress Of Classic Surgeion 12" On Counterbalance.

* For our eleventh release we are excited to be working with five artists who are all new to the label.

* Rendered open proceedings on side A with a nod to COIL in their psychedelically propulsive workout Analstairface.
End Train follows, steering his machines with tactile precision between acerbic acid lines and cavernous synths, crashing through a brutal onslaught of splintered beats that finally open into space.

* Side B starts with the claustrophobic tension of WarinD's Still Left In There, featuring Huren's disembodied snarl, tearing at the relentless machine funk. This is followed by the insistent, martial urgency of Distant's Hydrargyra, scaling vast heights of immaculate sonic architecture to an emotional pinnacle that is finally resolved in the EBM drenched romanticism of Lapse of Reason's Go Away.

Kiev based Yan Cook joins the Planet Rhythm family with a grim 12'' release containing 4 dark and heavy techno tracks.

For the A-side openingtrack, the Ukranian stalwart shows us some psychotic synth action on the afterhour anthem and title track ''Deformer''
The A2 effort ''Cubism'' continues this slice of black gold with dubby chords and uneasy machine sounds that float over the warm and pumping kickdrum that intensly serves as the backbone of this journey.

After this ''RRR" kicks in as the perfect follow up to ''Cubism''. Where the latter thrives on deep atmospheres Yan Cook changes up the sound for ''RRR"' and cleverly heads for a more rugged touch with the use of immense distortion and unusual synthesis. after this Cook takes us one on a repetitive journey with the closing down effort called ''The Edge''.

Where To Now? Records present the debut release from Akiko Haruna. Akiko’s world is one where cacophonic distress lingers, shuffling itself over scapes of percussive damage and driven groove. Akiko presents a fresh take on the current Technoid function through her use of emotive and intentionally disruptive vocal chops and a dizzying ‘wall of sound’ approach to the dancefloor, consuming all yet somehow keeping vibes alive.

Akiko’s artistic background is primarily in Dance, and undoubtedly this performance led background has had an acute impact on her approach to melodic detail & storytelling. Akiko’s tracks rapidly shift & morph states, always restless and searching with fluidity and intent. From the ever present Micro Electronic details to sweeping swathes of Bass flutter the notion of progressive movement remains at the forefront of her sound, minute elements of detail become briefly isolated, intentionally directing the listener to their subtle presence.

‘Delusions’ Leads with ‘A Mother’s Love’ and begins a theme of resentment and dissonance. The Japanase vocal cuts throughout the track roughly translate to “you should die”, here obviously flipping assumed and supposed relationship rules and roles and exposing an inner turmoil, reflected through a continuous anxiety ridden, almost panicked siren detail which pulses over Akiko’s heads down, deep and uniform forward march.

‘Husband Established’ and the opens with the emotive vocal line “I just hate your Voice”. This is the sound of a poisonous & damaging relationship hurtling towards combustion, where Akiko’s elements gather momentum and impact as layer upon layer of detail pummel and puncture this heightened state, pausing and spiralling to evoke a standoff of aggression and imminent outburst. ‘Husband Established’ stands as a frankly stunning piece of sound design, which manages to capture a raw human emotion, and provide release for the associated junk, stress, and occasional banality of Relationship angst.

‘Hetero’ picks up where ‘Husband Established’ finished, further exploring societal character types and submissive gender tropes that are thrust into our sub consciousness from day to day. The concept of Hyperreality and its themes are continuously explored within Akiko’s practice and It would perhaps be fair to say that these themic explorations within her Music are Akiko’s own outlet for traversing human relationships within a complex, heightened, & layered reality, and it is certainly Akiko’s intention for her audience to feel some kind of relief and release within her sound world. Sonically ‘Hetero’ is a much sparser, subtler affair, where swathes of sampled voice & machine swing in and out of focus, against a weightless backdrop of affecting isolated electronics.

The EP closes with ‘Ripehus Alley’, seemingly void of any deeper meaning or message this serves more as a dreamlike parting song to what is otherwise a highly charged collection. Floating itself away from a frantic & incomprehensible world into a calmer space for final thought and reflection. ‘Delusions’ is a complex, exploratory trip, one which fans of Logos, Fis, Alva Noto, Jlin, Jesse Osborne-Lanthier etc will relish exploring.

“CHAPTER I: THE BLACK GODDESS (AΦOR)” is the latest work from the DJ and producer BLAKE (aka Will Blake) which will land on his debut label TRITON RECORDS featuring the Detroit legend Scan 7.

To launch the label, BLAKE has called upon the most influential Detroit artist Abdul Qadim Haqq (Third Earth Visual Arts), designer of historical releases of among others Underground Resistance, Metroplex and Transmat, who has conceived, curated and realized the entire artwork project of TRITON RECORDS, its logo and the astonishing EP cover.

BLAKE’s works give emphasis to warm sounds coming from his tapes, samplers, drum machines and analogic synthesizers. He has always been inspired by the music from Detroit. For this EP, BLAKE has realized 2 high-quality tracks expertly crafted for the dance floor and 1 warm techno soul cut that has been remixed by Scan 7 with his unique touch. The Intro of the EP will let the listener experience the birth of the planet Triton and will drive him to spatial soundscapes.

Recently created by 3 members of the legendary late Parisian techno collective CONTAINER, INTERVISION is an eclectic label with strong aesthetic statements.

Residents of three huge electronic french music crews (Container, Blocaus et Tripalium) DJ VARSOVIE, BLNDR and PAULIE JAN are launching their first INTERVISION imprint: Vampires EP, produced by DJ Varsovie and including three perfect remixes by iconic artist known for their hybrid approach of music, as well as their mix of power and emotion, namely I Hate Models, Codex Empire and The Horrorist.

(140 grams vinyl in gatefold)

The third release on the sister label, NEW YORK TRAX Imports, comes from the legendary Dutch producer and founder of one of the most eclectic underground record labels, Vincent Koreman aka Drvg Cvltvre of New York Haunted. Since 2009, Drvg Cvltvre has been working on his own blend of dystopian acid, no wave, and experimental house. Respected in the international underground for his groundbreaking work in experimental techno as RA-X in the 90's on labels like Bunker and KK Records, Drvg Cvltvre comes from a DIY punk background and opts for hard work rather than hollow pose. The 4-track EP for NEW YORK TRAX Imports is an accurate representation of his style: dark and melancholic, but also uncompromisingly intense.

2018 played host to a bumper crop of sounds from some of Philly's grittiest, including Great Circles mainstays M//R and Chaperone. To close out the year that was, we are pleased to present Heckadecimal's 'Murder Tape.'

A Minneapolis-based producer and acid auteur, Heckadecimal has been a fixture within the vibrant Midwestern electronic music community for nearly 20 years. Founder of the legendary 'Anti-human' events and co-curator of the ever-prolific Always Human Tapes imprint - alongside Ryan Wurst and Peter Lansky - Heckadecimal's reputation is one of unrelenting creativity and tireless advocacy for sonic experimentation. His work has found its way to light via a slew of pseudonyms and stage monikers, including The Worm, noface and Wonder Sirens.

In short - Heckadecimal lives and breathes the sonic matter that he leaves pouring out of studio monitors, busted bar systems and finely tuned rave stacks, wherever his travels take him.

Live performance lies at the core of Heckadecimal's practice. When he stormed through Inciting HQ in Philly earlier this summer, he took command over an arsenal of hardware that reminded us of how Octave One or Shawn Rudiman might show up. These were machines that he had lived with; touched with custom modifications, hand-drawn stickers and pockmarks incurred in battle, one got the sense that the gear was a personal extension of the artist.

Perhaps it's a bit maudlin, but we feel a certain kinship with this project. Indeed, these tracks at times feel very much of a piece with the gnarled tonalities in which our stable typically traffics; all low-slung riddims that reach at equal lengths towards mutated IDM aesthetics and post-Packard Plant techno extrusions. These are future perfect grooves that glide along under the vast Midwestern sky, providing a fertile communication conduit with the City of Brotherly Love.

Give thanks for acid. Great Circles will see you in the New Year..

Mind Records is a Finnish record label and a record store in
Finland owned by Marko Laine (also known of his works on
Djax-Up-Beats, Drop Bass Network and Planet Rhythm). Now after 18 years since last release there's a new 12" offering some serious dark, hypnotic minimal techno by a new Finnish talent J. Lyden.

Very LIMITED album discs available now:

This is the first album Oscar Mulero has released under his own name, after two acclaimed LPs under the moniker Trolley Route. Well known for his skills as a hard-edged, raw and floor-orientated techno dj, his productions go far beyond, digging deep into the intricate landscape of intelligent techno, floating moods, reminiscent atmospheres, harmony and detail.

Grey Fades To Green is the affirmation of his maturity as a producer, using both hardware and software in the pursuit of a highly coherent and diverse album.

The concept is split into two parts: The Grey and The Green, each one with its own character. The first part is rougher and meant for the dance floor, although pays full attention to detail and complexity. The second part is quieter, has a slower pace and is best enjoyed at home.

In The Green Oscar goes deep into the intellectual side of techno music and is heavily influenced by the post rave sound emerging from the UK in the nineties: Aphex Twin, Gescom, B12, Plaid, Autechre.. but with a contemporary approach.

This part of the album brings you melodies, harmonies, endless atmospheres, and hours of studio work. Each sound has been carefully constructed, nothing is left to chance: Every stereo panning, every change to the synth's parameters has been meticulously designed for your listening pleasure; just what you want when you listen to techno on headphones. Futuristic music made with the utmost care.

The Green starts with 'Letters From Madrid', a dreamy and melancholy track, where an introspective melody leads to a slow-building drumbeat. Broken rhythms and distorted drums go side by side with the piano riffs and analogue bleeps: intelligent techno by definition.

'Dreams of Happiness' is a sci-fi soundtrack where pads and the different atmospheres are the main stars, and where subliminal drums add flow to this tune from outer space.

'After All' departs from calm dreamy territories with its grounded beat, complex 303 programming and micro synth sounds. A track which is as good for listening at home as it is for the dance floor.

'The Darker Days' uses a similar formula. Slow bpm, fat drums and weird 303 lines that make infinite layers of sound.

And now for something completely different...CGI is extremely excited to present the Proof Of Concept EP from Shanghai-via-
Chicago's OSHEYACK. These are productions with a weight and freshness that we at CGI have not previously encountered. While on
a small US tour in June 2016, Osheyack played a set in Atlanta and thoroughly blew everyone in the room away with a mastery of
rhythm, sound, and arrangement that is uncanny.


We approached Osheyack after the gig for demos and what we received was as dense and inspiring as the live set. Words don't do this sound justice but it's perhaps most fun to close your eyes and imagine a demonic cirque-du-soleil-esque techno marching band stomping through the graveyard of your dreams and resurrecting all of the wasted souls to stomp on their
graves in a frenzied trance...

Pittsburgh resident Shawn Rudiman releases his debut EP on Tresor Records. Titled Autonomic Pilot, it features shifting tables of subliminally orchestral synths and rich drum textures that spawn new voyages.
A bold approach underlines ‘KNSR’, where saturated acid manipulates the cinematic intent of the brassy synth strokes. Too Far Gone goes for the interstellar, featuring insistent, playful percussion amidst widescreen resonances before resolving into a cerebral workout of Rudiman’s trademark machine funk. ‘Erotique Feedback’ shows Rudiman honing his focus into what will no doubt be a regular in clubs - a 303-oriented electro trip, a synaptic drive into glittering acid bliss.
On the B-side, the mind magic of ‘Past The Edge’ shifts outside, bringing a sunrise for those who reinvent the possibilities of the day. ‘Eyes Forward’ is a techno banger, forcefully pointing in the direction of travel and shutting the door behind. Ascending e ortlessly, Rudiman motors into essential repetition. ‘Backwards Tomarrows’ brings an industrial feel, almost obscuring melodies and cadences that recalls the galactic innovations of the Detroit sound.
The studio is Rudiman’s vehicle, the weapon and the balm. From synthetic wonders to dark-warehouse drum missives, Autonomic Pilot proves once again Rudiman as a master of his craft. Tresor Records is proud to welcome his new work into the world.

Haiku's Raw Waxes label is delighted to welcome the famously unconventional Stanislav Tolkachev with a new track EP of experimental techno and IDM sounds. Entitled Champions' Breakfast and with brilliant artwork from German Benedikt Rugar, the releases features six cuts, one of which is a previously digital-only track landing here on vinyl for the very first time.

Haiku has long been a fan of Ukrainian Tolkachev having previously collaborated on a remix for the label, while Tolkachev has also released on Haiku's other label Inkblots. This new EP is one that not only shows off the label's willingness to take risks and put out diverse and interesting electronic music, but also one that proves Tolkachev is a truly unique artist with his own musical voice. He has been that way for more than a decade now, and has put out three long players as well as countless EPs that get heavy support from the tastemakers of the day. This latest offering contains his take on the essentialness of groove, enriched by his use of atonality, dissonance and acid-not-acid textures, all in a minimal style.

The deep 'Shady' kicks things off with spangled synth lines and eerie pads off in the distance. It's a lonely and insular piece with kinked rhythms that keep you locked. The excellent 'The Main Thing Is To Survive' is then less constrained, with kicks that rock back and forth as off kilter synth lines warp and wrap around each other in mind melting and tripped out fashion. Switching up the mood with ease, 'Fuck This Guy' is a dark and musty passage of humid ambient techno with static electricity buzzing about over smeared pads that are filled with menace, then the curious 'Hair In My Mouth' is about blurting, busted frequencies, loose and scattered drums and glassy melodies. It's a mangled and mashed up track that sounds like little else. 'Negative Space' is horror soundtrack techno with urgent, driving drums and nervy sound design that keeps you on edge, and closer 'Self Destruction' is built on broken, bristling beats. A rhythm slowly emerges from the haze and it is one that is physical and restless and sure to make a big impact in the club.

This is a varied and vital EP that oozes essential electronic invention.

Related releases its first vinyl, a trip into deep and minimal sound with 4 powerful tracks
by Dhaze, Silat Beksi, Petar Cvetkovic, Jerome C, Enzo Leep and more.
Each track had a unique sound and style, for sure a must have record!

Claro Intelecto returns to Delsin for the first time in two years with an EP that was inspired by the producer's formative experiences of techno and his journey through three decades of electronic music. Across four heavy and otherworldly tracks, Claro Intelecto reflects on the impact of forgotten Manchester club the Thunderdome via industrial-strength beats, bleeps and bass-weight; joins the dots between Skam style experimental hip-hop and glassy-eyed techno futurism ("Sniffer Dogs"); immerses us in heavy electro/techno fusion ("Messages") and offers up some intense, mid-tempo dance floor bliss ("Sirens"). It's another standout outing from one of techno's true cult heroes.

The 5th release from Caph comes from our good friend DCP. We hope you love it as much as we do.

"Veil Of Flames" is the second solo EP by label head Kastil in 2017 after the successful " The Sadistic Abbess" earlier this year.

Threading through the corn fields, wearing nothing but a cotton scarf, her body is like an abstract painting. He who beholds her with unpure sentiments, sees not what she is made of.

Her fierce complexion radiates briefly before she speeds up her motions. Out of breath she arrives at the altar of affection. She won't sacrifice her decency for a
chance to be with god.

Man Band delivers its first Various release with a stunning downtempo opener by the enigmatic DJ Sacom and an ever mind-bending trip by Forest Drive West, with his second hypnotic remix of Elise.

The definitive Cuttin Headz label welcomes global house icon Jonny White aka Art Department for a new EP that boasts two vital house cuts.

Art Department is one of the most recognisable names in the underground scene. The solo project of No.19 Music label boss and Canadian Jonny White has graced high profile magazine front covers, headlined all the key festivals and events, and turned out some of house and techno’s most essential cuts in the last few years. These two new missiles show yet another sound and style to White’s arsenal, and are destined to make a huge impact in the club.

First out of the blocks is the rock solid ‘Shame’ with razor sharp hi hats and tough, punchy drums. The excellent physicality of the groove is off set by a super soulful vocal sample up top, and as the track barrels along smart filters and a hypnotic lead are sure to get the whole club under a spell. Then comes the superb ‘Fixation’, a totally different but equally original proposition that is built on restless drum programming and twitchy synths. It’s a freaky late night cut that brings muscular grooves and absorbing bass to the floor for maximum destruction.

This is a powerful new EP from Cuttin’ Headz and Art Department, two giants in the scene.

After his acclaimed debut album in late 2017 and his explosive live set in Sonar festival this summer, Red Bull Music Academy discipule Clip debuts in Stale with a journey of powerful analogue textures straight from his modular.

Falling Ethics boss P.E.A.R.L. completes the record with a brute and super effective rework for Grip, ready for shake the most vigorous club walls.

Familiar faces to the series Bas Amro, Tetelepta and Taupe return with their very own signature techno sound, from minimal stripped down hypnotizations to the deeper and warm dub grooves. Label curators Jasper Wolff and Maarten Mittendorff, who recently launched their new Indigo aera production alias, jump in with a true ‘90 inspired floor track where the new mysterious Anton Biotica completes the package with a tribally fun and playful tool.

Wrong Assessment has turned some heads in recent times. Shortly after the launch of his AWRY imprint he debuts on Planet Rhythm with a full EP. Close To Red EP is a four track spanning journey through sophisticated techno. WA's range is very wide.

SHELVED RECORDINGS 2.1

Following the success of the their debut double 12" release, SHELVED RECORDINGS return with part one of a two part set.
2.2 will follow (the sleeve will ship with Part 1)

Returning to a brief but very fruitful period in electronic music production, Shelved Recordings exists to look back to the golden age of the remix, with a clear view of the future it imagined.

Artists who were steered towards maverick producers, with a view to changing the rules, to re-defining the terms of what modern music should and could be.
Pioneering techniques, over-dubs and an exploratory period of pop production, resulted in many lost dub versions and mixes. Mixes, which invariably were left on the shelf, deemed too 'out there' by the bosses of the the hedonistic label managers who commissioned them.

Carefully reconstructed and rebuilt lost classics from someone who was there the first time around !

For the third vinyl release on his label NORD LTD, Shkedul welcomes on board on his label three young artists. Keikari from France, Temudo & Norbak from Portugal. The result is a club-friendly release, composed by peak time bangers.

Trus'me gets the remix treatment from Answer Code Request, Ben Sims & Pangaea. This is the first of two EPs featuring remixes of tracks from the Trus'me Planet 4 album. Answer Code Request takes Our Future into new territory with two outstanding mixes. Remix 1 moves things to a much more sinister & foreboding place. Tightening the feel & tension of the original with all the hallmarks of classic Berlin techno. Remix 2 winds up & coils the track into a searing workout of early 90's hardcore breakbeat. Ben Sims takes control of Ring Round Heart, pushing the tempo & creating a whole new urgency in the track. This is proper no nonsense heads down business & tight as you like. The mix builds excellently well & manages to produce an epic amount of feel and emotion, dropping in & out of the groove with a sneaky breakbeat & vocal dubs. Pangaea tackles one of the albums more esoteric tracks in The Unexplained. He manages to work a wonderfully intriguing steppers beat which drops from nowhere after the highly beguiling metronomic extended opening. The tracks are getting plenty of play & plaudits from likes of Ben UFO, DJ Deep, Bicep & Anthony Parasole.

More leftfield techno sounds from one of the scene's more unassuming producers, A Sagittariun delivers a new single stamped with his trademark sound aesthetic. The 'Fahrenheit 451' EP brings together three new productions in lieu of a new album coming later in the year.

'The Golden Apple' brings together brain scrambling drums, a heavy hoover bassline, and a typically Sagi style wormhole riff, whilst 'Blue Lotus' throws tropical shapes around the broken beats that flourish into a rapid 4/4 stomper, with scattering hats and equatorial ambience giving a unique vibe. A Sagittariun strays into disco territory on 'Liebe Tanzen', flitting between modern intergalactic synth riffs & basslines, and sampled disco drums.
