Techno Novedades

It's one year since we started this adventure and we want to celebrate pressing our first vinyl. For this special event we have onboard one of our best friends and someone we respect massively, no other than Oscar Mulero. He his providing two futuristic reworks of UnCUT's track Beneath, floor orientated but mental at the same time, with flanged synth sequences and scientific drum programming making two techno tools that will crush sound systems worldwide.
Aside from the remixes, an own rework of Beneath is made by the Hd Substance & Leandro Gamez duo as well as a brand new original track called F9, arpegio madness, concrete beats and solid structures as we should expect from this two veterans.
Four solid cuts of no joke modern techno made by those who know for those who know.

Second release on Bash & T's very limited Conch imprint further delving into creating house music fused with UK flavours. All spawned from live studio takes.

Costin Rp returns to Pleasure Zone. After his outstanding "Deep Red EP" on PLZ020 we're now
presenting you 2 parts on the limited series. First part contains the tracks "Ride Right" and "Tespar".

After a production hiatus of over a year, the legendary D-Knox returns and it was well worth the wait.
For those not in the know, D-Knox (Donnell Knox) grew up in Kalamazoo, a city halfway between Detroit and Chicago, which offers a strong bearing on the musical direction he's taken over the past 20+ years. Founder of Sonic Mind Records, he is an integral member of Techno's history, delivering funk-laden grooves, deep Detroit or hard-hitting Techno since his debut on fellow Kalamazoo label, Black Nation (founded by Donnell's cousin Jay Denham), as well as Magic Trax, Elypsia, Morbid and various others, where he found an outlet for his driving rhythms. Over the years he has gathered a following for his music both at home in the US and overseas. Now residing in Warsaw, Poland his sound continues to develop, as his passion never wavers.
His new EP titled 'The Human Machine' could describe D-Knox himself and his perpetual love of electronic music. It features four stunning tracks that bridge the house-techno gap, while his musical youth spent learning piano and drums before discovering dance music back in the early '80s continues to be evident. From 'No Time', which sweeps in with intricate layers of epic chords, cut-up vocal and expressive melody, via 'Rat Race' with its tough yet funky groove, before the shimmering depths of 'Sick Mind' and onto 'Repetition' whose melancholic opening launches into a driving dancefloor workout, we're left in no doubt that D-Knox is still an expert in his field.

Following on from Hashman Deejay debuting his 'Studio Mody' moniker as the first release on the newly formed Counter 99 label, comes the new release from E. Corre and S. Letelier (Nummer) under a new alias 'Detroit Syndrome'...


The label is keeping to the 3 track, low key presentation of the first release, with the focus being directed towards the music and continuing with a series that attempts to bring out a style that the artists may not necessarily be associated with. The direction given to the artists from the label is simple - do whatever you like, with the dance floor and longevity of music in mind.

Super Rhythm Trax is excited to unveil their brand new side label. BLEEPER, which will concentrate on a slightly tougher strain of Techno. The first four releases are in production and will be enough to give you a strong idea of where the label will be going! First out of the gate are Ford Foster (Unknown To The Unknown/Opal Tapes) and Frankie Castle with 'Bounce That', an ingenious Ghetto House jam with a serious twist , backed with a Jerome Hill remix that strips the whole thing down leaving the bare ingredients to do damage on the dancefloor. Also included are an instrumental version of the original, and the slo mo banger 'Shake That'.

Finally REPRESS!!!

(dave clarke / brodinski / milano rmxs) The hottest new Techno Killer gets the remix treatment from hallowed legends and emerging stars.

Howling's Album "Sacred Ground" und seine Entstehung stehen für viele Dinge gleichzeitig: Zusammenarbeit, Improvisation, Einfachheit und Zufälle. Obwohl er gerade das Demolevel überschritten hatte, ging der Ursprungstrack "Howling" Anfang 2012 (via Dixons Boiler Room Set) viral und erregte in der gesamten elektronischen Musikszene Aufmerksamkeit, erklomm Charts und gewann Awards. Keiner der beiden Beteiligten - Singer/Songwriter Ry X und Âme-Produzent/Innervisions-Chef Frank Wiedemann - hatte das erwartet. Genauso unerwartet, nur wenige Jahre später, wider räumlicher Entfernung und musikalischer Ausrichtungen, erscheint nun ihr Debütalbum "Sacred Ground" als Gemeinschaftsprojekt von Monkeytown Records und Counter Records, dem Sublabel von Ninja Tune. "Sacred Ground" ist eine wundersame Synergie beider Künstler, mit handfesten Elementen von Franks charakteristischen Sounds (tief, mehrlagig, fusionierend), die sich ach so leicht in die profunde Freiheit von Rys Stimme und Produktion schleichen. Das Projekt nimmt beide Künstler mit an einen ganz neuen Ort voll wunderschöner, hypnotischer Klanglandschaften, die sowohl ein Gefühl von Verlassenwerden, als auch Wiederfindens erzeugen.

Continuing its cosmic techno research path, Subosc is happy to present the latest work from Hydergine. Known for his deep and dub influenced techno releases on labels such as Phorma, Modelisme, Knotweed and Ranges, he delivers two ambient influenced techno tracks with a mental and dancefloor attitude. Driving grooves, pulsating synths and melancholic melodies are the main elements of the original tracks, which journey narrates about cosmic energies, self healing and mental stimulation. The Omega Point is, at fact, a spiritual belief and a scientific speculation that everything in the universe is fated to spiral towards a final point of "divine" unification. "Light from Light" puts emphasis on the eternal and bright light of wisdom, which allows to think and act using knowledge, experience, understanding, common sense, and insight. Wisdom leads a person to overcome feelings of helplessness, powerlessness, anger or aggression by non-understanding of external elements and internal acknowledgement. The EP includes two immersive, dreamy, enlightening and spaced-out electro infused versions by Artefakt (Delsin / Field Records) and 2030 (Construct Re-Form / CLFT).
Already supported by Svreca, Etapp Kyle, Abstract Division, Quail, Leghau, Kessell, Alfredo Mazzilli, Nihad Tule, Roberto Clementi, Shaded Explorer, Distant Echoes, Unbalance...

Next up on the Astropical Tapes imprint is Boryn, half of the Astro Buhloone duo. This time his solo debut EP titled: 'The Same' with Loz Goddrad on the remix. Limited, vinyl only.

New twisted techno jams with some acid flavor from Italian producer D-Leria on his debut 12" for Darknet.

D-Leria gives us "Confusion" on the A-side, including remixes from Stanislav Tolkachev and Pinion, then on the flip-side it's "Premonition" with a harder-edged remix from the Bavarian techno machine Alex Bau.

Already supported by Dave Clarke, Gary Beck, Advanced Human, Ben Klock, Marco Bailey, Answer Code Request, Truncate, Ben Sims, Xhin, Jonas Kopp, Ilario Alicante, Luca Agnelli, Slam, Speedy J.

Label host Joachim Spieth delivers emotional content. 2 cuts, deep & ambient.

deep & detailed.

As the winter solstice approaches and the fool's journey comes to a close, Chapter 24 marks its first two years of great releases with a 24th EP. This symbolic offering is a vinyl-only package from Masaya, with an Edition by her close friend and frequent b2b DJ partner Ripperton.


Masaya's entire life is music and this really shines through across the four cuts served up by the Swiss-Chilean artist. As boss of her own label Mina Records, she is a real underground star who has been responsible for numerous great releases over the last ten years.


'Borderline' kicks things off and is nine minutes of spine-tingling deep house music with haunting vocals and wispy autumnal synths. Subtle and seductive, it is a killer opener to the EP. 'Picture' is then just as emotive and spiritual, with tender string sweeps and rolling rubbery beats mixed in with warm finger clicks to make for a hugely atmospheric house groove. The final original is 'Flow of Tears', which is again cavernous and deep, its sombre chords draped over gentle drums with whispered vocals that really mark it out as an evocative listen.


Ripperton is the long time deep house star from Switzerland who runs his own Tamed Musiq and has a fine discography, releasing on the likes of Innervisions, Maeve and more. His version of 'Flow of Tears' captures the sound of futuristic house and techno in 2016. It is more direct and driven, with corrugated drums and loose limbed percussion lulling you into his autumnal groove.

Each purchase includes free digital download once shipped. Please email proof of purchase to label (at) chapter24records (dot) com

Perc's third album 'Bitter Music' pushed his sound to further extremes than ever before when released in April of this year, winning widespread acclaim and launching a worldwide tour to support it. Now the album returns with two EPs of interpretations for a diverse selection of remixers most of whom are new to Perc Trax. This first EP of remixes takes in Head Front Panel's constantly building, pulsating version of deep album moment 'The Thought That Counts', Hodge's Bristol meets London meets Berlin stepping take on 'Chatter' and a screwfaced broken version of album opener 'Exit' by rising Blackest Ever Black star Pessimist.

* The follow up to Shawn's Timespan album for Pittsburgh Tracks is "...The Next Planet Over"--an EP featuring four new tracks from Pittsburgh's synth maestro. The EP opens with "Works on Paper", which is like a cross section of Shawn's acclaimed improvised live techno sets. The collection continues with "Last Light On" and "Switching Rails"--two deep, driving synth numbers that are the product of Shawn's interaction with the beautiful surroundings of Pittsburgh and its Midwestern grit. Finishing the EP is "One More Sometime" a rare downtempo excursion propelled by synth bass and lush atmospherics.

The Fifth And Final Installment Of Varg's Nordic Flora Series Lands Via Posh Isolation.

When The Fight-or-flight Response Edges In—adrenaline Coursing And Perception Wired—our Behaviour Is Especially Spiked By An Emotional Intensity. And With That Peak Comes A Trough. It's A Chemical Freefall, Just Like A Crush. Presented By Posh Isolation, 'crush' Marks The Beginning Of The End For Varg's Turbulent Nordic Flora Series. Getting Us Lost In An Exhilarating Maze Of Fainting Beauty And Breaks, The Fifth Piece Of The Series Invites Us To Relish The Harmony Just As Much As The Dissonance. Following On From The Previous Iterations Of The Series, Particularly The Widely Acclaimed 'nordic Flora Series Pt.3: Gore-tex City,' The Cast Of Collaborators Remain Familiar. Some Faces Are More Prominent On This Occasion, While Others Were Folded Into The Series For The First Time At Last Year's Berlin Atonal Festival Where Varg's Nordic Flora Program Was Unveiled. The Album's Most Tender Moments Arrive When The Acoustic Instrumentation And Ambient Ascents Cross And Tangle With The Spoken Word Performances From Annamelina And Chloe Wise. They Speak In Lullabies Of Decadence. And The Sincerity Catches You Out, Tapering The Rush, Awakening The Crush. When Working With Both Annamelina And Vanity Productions, The Gentle Details Get Scaled Up For Bigger Arenas, The Track Signalling A Kinship With Last Year's Yung Lean Collaboration. Tracing Another Kind Of Intimacy Is A Collection Of Deft And Agile Club-cursed Tracks That Set A New Level Of Scattered Cohesion For Varg. Spirited And Biting, They Bump And Quake With A Whiplashed Gait, Effortless Af. Not Surprisingly, Varg Configures This Side Of 'crush' Alone, Perhaps Letting This Stormy Intensity Out Just The Once In A Mournful Piece With Ecco2k. True To The Nordic Flora Series, The Artwork Comes From American Multidisciplinary Artist Cali Thornhill Dewitt. The Artwork Is Presented In Collaboration With International Copyright Agreements. Our Burning Passions Light Diverse Paths, And As The Fragility Of The Heart Is Learned And Lamented, Then Surely A Cause To Celebrate This Fate Comes

Mechatronica launches their new White series, dedicated to limited edition white label records across synth, wave, EBM and italo with a VA release featuring Inhalt, Violet Poison, Sneaker and Daniel Holt.

Mechatronica White 1 opens with Sneaker's gloomy remix of German synth-pop band Opus Leopard, followed by the electrifying instrumental version of 'Alles' - a relentlessly progressing piece of body music from San Francisco trio, Inhalt. On the flip, Violet Poison summons a fat, trippy EBM-leaning groove, before Daniel Holt finishes off the record with anthemic synths and a ticket to the cosmos on 'Floating Mansions'.

Klasse Recordings and Grafiti Tapes impresario, Luca Lozano, rolls up to Hypercolour with a 12 par excellence of genre blending, future dance grooves. Leaning on his Sheffield upbringing, it's of no surprise that the break beats, edits and bleeps of his native city seeps into his own forward thinking productions. Having racked up some super releases for Sex Tags UFO, Optimo Trax, Crème Organization, alongside his own imprints, Lozano really impresses on his Hypercolour debut. 'Gun Fingers' is a strictly heads down affair, luscious synths, tantalising breaks and heavyweight b-line sandwich in-between pounding kicks for a classy cut, whilst 'Calling All Dancers' is indeed a call to rave, laced with the familiar components of a golden era of UK dance, that never slips into pastiche, instead sounding fresh, vital and relevant to the times. Kindred spirit, DJ Sotofett, weighs in with two versions of 'Gun Fingers' exclusively for the vinyl edition of this release. Those who know Sotofett's killer style will know the score here, and he certainly does not disappoint. And those who spent time chasing around motorways and A roads in search of the party will most definitely know what's up on this set of remixes!

Mihail P (Seventh Sign, Verdant Recordings) steps up for the third release on Distant Worlds. 4 tracks of 90s-indebted soulful, emotive, reverb soaked deep techno. Clearly influenced by the likes of Dan Curtin, Luke Slater and Stasis, Mihail's sound is the perfect fit for Distant Worlds' particular branch of interstellar techno. As much for the mind as for the feet, this EP features beautiful pads and some wall-shaking bass guaranteed to transport the dancefloor to another dimension. Mastered to perfection by Radioactive Man.

Manchester's techno alchemist and master of the Roland TR-808, the enigmatic MR.RAW, debuting MANCDETROIT 12' on WIN or LOOSE Records straight outta Toronto CA! Long term nightclub shaman on the Northwest of England circuit, Raw served time in Rotterdam's early 90s gabba circles before returning back to Manchester to twist brain's n bodies with his wild blend of freestyle techno. Raw's witnessed trends in production go from hardware to soft and back again but he's never strayed from a solid rack mount set up based solely around the TR-808. With a few added choice fx processors Raw's style is loose'n'live and captures a pure spirit rarely exercised by today's pacified youth.
"Perseus Dance" sounds like the kind of shit the great Ron Hardy would jam on, with two copies, for hours. Inflicting a sherm-stick flavored mind-blast to the floor that may have indeed caused the good man to blush, we find percolating 808 percussion woven together with a mystic, fizzing lead line and twangy analogue artifacts. Darkside acid dragged wailing and whining from Rusholmes drains.
Flip and we have "Hard On": a twisted x-rated porno horror jam. Raw's rapid-fire double-speed drum loops firing away while a plethora of abhorrent vox and coital sounds converge onto the track. A total wrecking ball of filth and hellish distortion which just smolders away in the basement of some sadistic nightclub like a rotten but highly intoxicating fungus ready to switch on any passing freaks.

We're glad to say welcome to Renè for our second wax.
With his residency@Circoloco in ibiza since years, he had the chance to play at some of the best gigs in the world.
His track 'Anything' has a unique touch, with a lot of warm and deep pads that match perfectly with bassline, doing a beautiful atmosphere.
Renè on the keys never fails, that's what we say!

Alessandro Di Maria aka Sossa is another italian resident dj of Circoloco in Ibiza.
He worked with a lot of amazing artists like Mass Prod, Quenum, Subb-an and many more, especially with his own label Garbant Wave.
His track Toga' is what we call a trip, ranging from minimal beats to deep pads and chords.
Certainly this one makes the right job in the warm up!

We're happy to have the young talent Giacomo Trevi in the B side.
With releases on Claque, Superfiction, Etruria and more, his track Voyage' has a powerful 909 groove, with an old school pads and some Detroit influences in the chords.
Dirty and analog stuff for the dancefloor lovers!

Selections from the album 'Rio Grande'

It's been three years since Ressort Imprint head Ekserd has released his highly anticipated first output ''the hidden documents''.

As the sun slowly breaks through the cloudy winter's sky he now delivers a second release on his own imprint.

This time the sound completely mirrors what Ekserd likes to juggle around with in the clubs: jackin', groove-laden and high-BPM tools.

Third emission from Kavalanic Languages, featuring three wavey lines from Elio Terzi - all busted 606 hats and bass lines.

Vekton Black brings it to the point again with its new "Everlasting Treasuries 3"
release. Archie Hamilton & Mariano Mateljan, Seb Zito, Daniel Madlung &
Mandy Jordan alias Dandytracks from Dresden release their tracks on a
stunning various artist record.

An object resists changing its state of motion with inertia. What pushes back must then be even more vigorous in order to create a uid movement. An example of the force that embodies this dynamic can be found clearly on the appropriately titled Inertia, Aiken's much anticipated return to Chronicle. The Spanish artist has been spending years honing his craft, focusing on sharp, distinct sounds that create a pure sense of kinetic energy. The title track of
the EP bolsters a erce disarray of carefully (de)constructed atonal synthwork and a rhythm section that is set to detonate. It is then followed by 'Axial', a track that stays as true to modular miscalculations as it does to stripped down techno, combining both in a subliminal cessation of sanity. However Aiken isn't done there. He continues with 'Magnetism', which throws a brick in the glass of conventionality with its earth-shaking layers of textured momentum. Phased pads then wash over 'Soul Drama', bringing the entire experience

to an emotionally laced denouement. After the potency of his last record on Chronicle as well as his releases on imprints such as his own label Timeline and the Spanish powerhouse Semantica, Inertia marks a de nitive step forward for an already exceptionally de ned artist.

Petroleum, Cement, Steel and Plastic. (Erdeol, Zement, Stahl, Kunststoff) are four symbols of the unstoppable progress of the mankind. The four tracks from the new vinyl release on Mechanical Thoughts reflect the feeling of unstoppable, uncontrollable and in the same time the anxiety feeling of a dystopic future.

Recovering from the gray decay of the winter here in Berlin, we are more than ready to push forward farther into the future. In order to do so the powers at Chronicle have aligned a new musical offering to test the palate of those who know, and those who care. We are pleased to present six tracks from the prolific Arnaud le Texier, who has made waves for years with his Children of Tomorrow imprint and renowned taste. From cosmic interludes to heavy hitting transcendence, Arnaud manages to showcase all sides of his production skills as they translate into a compelling and emotive narrative. Among them stands a tribute to one who was lost along the way that we simply do not want to forget. Only rarely in this life do we stand witness to gures that make a true impression, an imprint that continues to leave a mark long after the original has passed. Max_M was one of these gures, and it is through his music and immensely dignified curatorial prowess that his legacy will live on. Arnaud's poignant tribute stands as a personal note amongst an EP full of forceful techno suitable for deep space exploration.

Artefakt come from the deepest branch of techno. The partnership of Robin Koek (Cyspe) and Nick Lapien (Metropolis, Rhine) have explored subterranean caverns, dense forests and unknown lands on labels like Prologue, Field and Delsin and their latest three track expedition on DSC continues that journey into the beyond. "Raid" is a near nine minute odyssey, a trip into shimmering cymbals, acid growls, placid lakes and ritualistic rhythms. The flip finds a breaking in the dense foliage: "The Radiant City", a sanctuary of soaring strings, soothing pads and entrancing harmonies. "Lichtspiel" writes a different tale. Muted tones are ruffled by an industrial edge, the hand of man and the rise of the machine blended with a natural and organic warmth. A 12" rooted in the undisturbed and unspoilt lands of the ancient.

Sweet Techno Sound ! Dancefloor And Electro.
Sweet Tempo !

Although the definition of the word artist is quite ambiguous, Liou definitely breathes through music, either as a part of the audience, later as a DJ and finally as a music producer.
His music has been released on labels like Signatune Records, La Vie En Rose, Daydream and Broox Records.

Consider this a warning - tearing out of 2015 on the gale of our compilation with the legendary duo of Jeroen Search and Dimi Angeli´s carrying us on their winds into 2016, Chronicle steps into the eye of the hurricane for its second release this year, by the mighty Mike Storm. A xture in the Dutch techno scene since the late '90s, it was when Michael de Winde moved to hardware live sets that he found his true inspiration, continuing to this day
to use only analogue equipment in his restless search for techno perfection. Consistently released since 2012, initially on Subsist, a label notable for
early work of SHXCXCHCXSH and Stanislav Tolkachev, he then moved on
to respected underground sources such as Ars Mechanica, Orbis Records, and Belief System, where he released his 2014 album 'Pulsars'. Supported by Mills, A&S, Arnaud Le Texier, Tadeo, Antigone, and others, we are proud to give Mike Storm the twelfth entry in the series with 'Where the WolvesCome From'.

It begins 'At Certain Points', channeling the jazzy mid-2000s Mills of his most abstract era with subtle string swells, cosmic bleep patterns and equally subtle Detroit-style percussion lls. 'The Day We See' moves into morning, with its complex, melodic bass gures and shimmering strings taking
the nocturnal intro into morning following a tense lead line that enters.
Again referencing Detroit but falling closer to the dystopian feelings of contemporary Terrence Dixon, 'New Light' is an exercise in tension between taught drum lines, dissonant keyboards, and a metallic sequence pattern. Stripping down for the hunt, the title track stalks more aggressively, razor- sharp hats and growling bass accelerating as the predator closes in on its prey, an eerie forest wind bringing terror in its path until the final struggle.

Schwarze Messe - The new studio album from Patrick Arbez published here as a limited vinyl only release exclusive on Delude Records. 3 x 12" vinyl with 12 powerful tracks in a double cover. Everybody love Patrick Arbez dark melodic techno sound.
Thats great, thats spooky, thats scary, thats Arbez sound.

Good emotional sounds from Japan.

AcidWorx kicks off their artist series with this lovely 3-tracker produced by Harold De Kinderen, and Stefan Robbers. The Dutch duo known to the world as Acid Junkies really need no introduction. They have been amongst top producers of ACID since 1992 when they first launched the acid classic track "Sector 9" on the Djax-Up-Beats label, followed by their successful album "Paranoid Experience" two years later.

Their newest release "Time Kills" on AcidWorx ranges from old skool acid bleeps to high tech electro with a scent of industrial and EBM-Body music. A super funky acid remix of the track "Drifters" by SERi from Japan is also included. Limited edition first press on transparent 12".

Franksen, Rafa Zoe, Redux - FRIENDS IN RHYTHM EP Incl. Remixes by Pascal FEOS, Tom Wax, Ill-Boy Phil & Sebastian Fleischer TREIBJAGD RECORDS

After a row of releases over the last 5 years (from Suara to Circle Music, Stir 15, Houseworx, Save Room Records and many more) connector Franksen returns with his friends to TREIBJAGD RECORDS: second time around as he released a vinyl EP here last year with dub-techno legend D. Diggler.

Long-term Frankfurt house-player Franksen and friends deliver classic house and techhouse - firmly rooted in modern clubs, as much as reflecting the sound history. The FRIENDS IN RHYTHM EP is all about love and friendship, whether you listen at the sound signatures or look at the artists involved.

WAIT NOW sees Franksen and new-shot Rafa Zoe get down in warehouse manner. Wailing deep n dark Moog basses are weighed by sharp synth sounds with a Detroit feel and hissing beats that sure have an addictive vibe! Techno legend Tom Wax switches round the dominance of the original chords, delivering an even straighter yet playful old school techno tune.

CHARADE is a sleeping giant - merging Franksen's groove excellence with Redux' knowledge of 'even more bass'. Keep it rollin' in your warmup and the room will adopt the low slung yet feverish groove. Play it peak-time-ish and the bass will sweep the floor. A timeless beauty made of strong percussions, a whole lotta vibes and lowered depths wrapping everything up in an especially warm blanket. Techhouse icon Pascal FEOS drops a a little weight to come with an elegantly rollin' remix deriving magic from minmal workouts.

Pattern Repeat ready the next release on their self-titled label with two solid cuts of techno this May.

The project which was started back in 2009 by the two Danish producers, Dennis Bøg better known as Resoe, owner of Baum Records and its off shoot Baum Limited Picture Edition, and Kenneth Christiansen owner of Echocord Records. Each of their releases move into different realms of Techno,and have gained support from the upper echelons of dance music, from the likes of Rodhad, Levon Vincent, and Dario Zenker.

A crawling filtered synth opens '009A', murky kick drums and syncopated high-hats join it, to create a long winding warehouse melody, these are then exchanged for the hazy sounds of white noise of '009B' packed with cold eerie drones, that are met by charged hums that fizz away and bring the release to a close.

The third Eclectic Limited delivery is landing directly from Osaka! 3 fantastic tracks by Ryuji Takeuchi with his powerful groove full of explosive kicks and aggressive basslines. To finish this beautiful EP an exciting LAG remix with its unmistakable groove that always set off the dance floor.

Milan based collective Just This are proud to present the 'Absolute Infinity EP', a joint release from Netherlands-based producers Sinfol and Octual. Featured in this package are two remixes from Gerd Janson prescribing a heavy dose of acid. Title track is a stripped back groove with a looping synth lead that wanders through ricocheting drums. For his first remix Gerd muffles the framework of the original, making room for a floating melody and warm lead, whilst the 'Acid Only' version takes the components of the original and throws them into a bath full of acid. Closing off the EP is 'Wire', a moody dancefloor cut for the after-hours.

R&S welcomes Acid Mondays for a 12" of lysergic house music that reaches far into the outer cosmos.
Formed "somewhere in the 5th dimension' Acid Mondays is the cosmic coalition of fellow psychonauts Negghead (Dan Ward) and Lex Wolf (Alex Wolfenden).

Repeated transformative visits to Ibiza culminated in landing regular slots at Circoloco where they have been testing this tune in the dance all Summer long.

'Universal Rhythm', their latest interstellar dispatch and debut on R&S is their finest work to date. An anthemic paean to the cosmos that features an impassioned spoken word missive from shamanistic MC Shovell, impressively recorded in a single take, making the case for the universality of experience and oneness of all beings.

Latin rhythms fuse with a driving Fender Rhodes lick (provided by JD73) and percolating cow bells to hypnotic effect. This calls to mind a combination of classic Carl Craig and Villalobos at his most playful. R&S new signing The Maghreban supplies a killer dubbed out take on the original that strips away the heavy kicks and pumps up the percussion, hurtling the synth pads to the fore that comes on like John Carpenter peaking on MDMA.

Approaching the release of a new ASC LP, we are always lucky to have an excess amount of tunes for the project. Together with ASC, we strive to create a cohesive sonic narrative with each LP. Astral Perception contains four immense tunes that were produced for the Astral Projection project, but ultimately were unable to fit amongst the Astral Projection story. These pieces are of the same high quality as the LP tracks, so we wanted to ensure they were put out into the world to compliment the LP. Arced is a contorted re imagining of Arc from The Farthest Reaches, while Inner Space is a peak time Grey Area infused Techno floor tune, Ring System is a rhythmic workout that acts as a perfect linking tool for adventurous DJ's, and Event Horizon recalls ASC's past work in a gliding depth charge style.

Our boss Claude VonStroke is the busiest guy we know. When he's not traveling the world or curating an event, he's in the studio every day putting in hours upon hours, relentless in perfecting his craft. He's had a slew of hits the past couple years in the form of remixes and collaborations, and now with the 'Walay (My Bae)' EP, Claude gets back to some inventive and somewhat 'out of the box' solo works.

The title song leads with a melodic riff and an funky vocal that sounds like a defective cyborg is proclaiming love for his partner, 'Walay.' This quasi-human uses the slang 'My Bae' to try and pass for human and we almost believe in his passion. The sound harkens back to old classic rave tracks but also pushes very modern production techniques.

On the flip, 'Raw Nerve' is an emotional exploration in both sounds and lyrics. A melancholy VonStroke dives deep into his insecurities and fears with sonically mutated lyrics like 'I'm feeling so sad, I'm feeling real bad today. When I see you on the street I dont want to compete.' You can feel the social instability oozing out of the vocal only to come back at the close with a violently hard bassline embodying the personal angst and frustration that goes along with not 'fitting in.'

It is wise to take time and effort to organize the experiment properly to ensure that the right type of data, and enough of it, is available to answer the questions of interest as clearly and efficiently as possible. An experiment deliberately imposes a treatment on a group of objects or subjects in the interest of observing the response.

A control group is used as a baseline measure. The control group is identical to all other items or subjects that you are examining with the exception that it does not receive the treatment or the experimental manipulation that the treatment group receives.

An experiment that yields clear and systematic differences among the results of the test takers is biased.

'Treatment vs Control by Deepak Sharma uses extended tracks,
'story-telling' techno to elicit a unique response through direct brute force and indirect dramatic soundscapes.

New York's DJ Spider returns to Rekids with four murky vinyl-only cuts this November. A highly respected label owner, DJ Spider is well known for helming esteemed imprints like Plan B, Sub Level Sounds and BTU music. As a producer he has made appearances on the likes of The Trilogy Tapes, BleeD, KilleKill and Vanguard Sound!, whilst last year saw him make his debut on Rekids. Returning to the imprint, the American artist follows DJ Deep, Jon Hester and FBK for the fourth outing in the Rekids Special Projects vinyl series. Opening with 'Mobius Strip Revisited', a squelching bass line and rolling percussive loops underpin ethereal pads and airy atmospheres before an extended keyboard solo plays over inspired chord progressions and a grooved low-end to give 'Antikythera Mechanism Part 2' an improvised feel. On the flip we have 'Sub-Atomic Vibrations', providing a series of irresistible lead synth melodies and crunchy drum compositions followed by 'Struggles With Phantoms', an unrelenting rhythm section lays the foundation for an evolving mid-range giving the release a stylish close.

Gab Rhome is back on All Day I Dream with, believe it or not, his very first solo release. We first encountered our bowtie wearing friend via his collaboration with Maher Daniel way back in the label's catalogue. He dropped by again last summer as one of the tracks on our annual Summer Sampler release with 'Venus'. It rocked the Beatport Deep House chart for months. Continuing in that vein we find two wonky fun summery house tunes with rolling grooves, tinkling pianos, glassy sounds and memorable melodies...which is fun to say by the way...go on, say it. Say it out loud right now on your plane journey, in the coffee shop, hotel room or in bed with your cat... Words and music to make you smile.
Good work Gab. Good work...

Over the course of four unforgettable EPs released on Throne of Blood since 2013, Hardway Brother Sean Johnston has cultivated a broad international following for his singular brand of dancefloor fodder.

Best known as one half of legendary DJ team A Love From Outer Space alongside the one-and-only Andrew Weatherall, Johnston's roots in the dance music scene include a clutch of leftfield 90's era bangers on labels like Sabres of Paradise and Flashcomm. Beyond his original output, Johnston has also remixed the likes of Man Power, The Asphodells, Museum Of Love, Split Secs, Clandestino and many more.

The Laser EP is peaktime Hardway Bros business. 'Friedman Feedback Loop Revision' (a nod to TOB boss James Friedman's highly-valued opinions) is a masterclass in efficient simplicity, elevating a few basic loops into an exhilarating 8 minute monster. 'The Laser' rounds out the a- side with a classic electro rhythm/bass/vocal sample combo could easily have landed in retro territory. Instead, Hardway Bros easily flips a clutch of oldschool tricks into an utterly modern execution. The b-side finds TOB's label manager Max Pask injecting 'Friedman Feedback Loop Revision' with his love for all things analog and Italo. With his impressive collection of synths brought to life by Chinatown Records' Brennan Green, the song is transformed into an epic set- closer that's already devasting dancefloors like Berlin's Panorama Bar. The EP closes with 'Afro Sirene,' a midtempo groover with melodic arpeggios built for the discerning DJ's warm-up set.

For the third Vinyl release, we welcome on board another great artist from Paris, Marcelo Cura - that drops 3 amazing original tracks that includes a collaboration remix by Bronxy & Gorbani who bring their exceptional remix work into this massive Ep named Rolla Coasta

Next up on Tel-Aviv's Parallax Record is Matushka's debut ep 'Meta'.
Meta is a varied minimalist techno EP showing Matushka's range of production styles, with bits of braindance polyrhythms on top of industrial techno grooves, yet always understated and subtle in it's development.

SYSTEM boss Mike Gervais releases the Drift EP for round five of the US based label.

Drift - Loopy synth sets the pace while airy tones and verbed out hats move in and out of the mix.

Breaking Point - Heaving muscular hits chugging along to slinky synth stabs

Resonate - Just what you think a b-side track is. Pulled back, deep resonating basslines with sprinkled hats in the reverb.

Future Tool - Loopy, delayed vocal tool with subtle changes and rhythmic swirls. Highly useful as a straight layer or as a pulse in your delay / reverb pedal.

And and Voices Tool - mangled mess of audio clips and loops

VRV002 evolves from where Cored (VRV001) left off. The newly established Raíz run label is an extension of the Droid Behavior strong hold out of Los Angeles. After nearly a decade behind the controls, in both studio and on the road, Raíz emerges with their refined sound made up of equal parts groove and purpose. This three tracker takes use of elements from classic synthizers and out board gear sequenced and updated for the current and beyond. Road tested, these dance floor epics are ready for mass consumption. A the record unfolds, the artists shed old skin and solidify the quality and pace of things to come.

The VRV label pushes its sound further with its 6th vinyl release, featuring Rai´z. Opener Coruscate' stuns with brilliant energy designed to meet any set's intensity requirements. The fip side starts with Inner Sense,' a stripped-down, claustrophobic drive somewhere between apprehension and urgency. Primeval' pulls the layers back even further, for an aggressive track that's reminiscent of techno's drum-driven tribal era. All tracks are primed for cutting edge techno DJs. Pushing the exploration of concept and expression with the VRV circle, this release features artwork by Rai´z family member Vanessa Vargas.

Continuing the label's fast-paced release schedule, Raíz cooperate with social observer Permanent Hearbreak on the label's 4th vinyl release. The collaboration delves deep into human emotion over three movements, developing around the concept of personal absence. Side A1, With Out You, stretches a somber beat over 6 minutes with graceful overtones and powerful rhythm. Permanent Heartbreak speaks the message of With Out You over wet/dry percussion and heartsick chords. The energy and attitude turn up considerably on the flip side. With Me is a quick jaunt through semi-distorted clap and kick combinations of the jacking variety. Evolving analog style synth work builds the song until its climactic end. Wont Change Me takes cues from the darker Detroit / Kalamazoo sounds with Permanent Heartbreak's cold premonitions laid out over a driving sequence.

What attracts us to Chilean-born artist Ricardo Tobar is the notion of intersection, and although fusion is nothing new, as a concept it will always pull our heartstrings. Applying influence is amateur, we see this over and over again as we endure trend-driven appropriation of cultures the world over, but the epiphany when an artist finds true synergy between heritage and influence is a pivotal moment that the inspired will seek, even though it may take the length of one's career to behold. As pretentious as that may sound, it is precisely the hybrid born from that place of intersection that
excites us at the ESP Institute, the 'A plus B that equals 3'. We hear this in Ricardo's music — the Latin American instinct in his drums and percussion, sometimes tightly aligned with body movements and other times hauntingly mis-aligned and chaotic, intersects with his rock influence of ethereal (micro) melodies that slowly layer and layer until we're climbing a glorious (macro) wall of sound — but most importantly we hear where these different parts of his life come together to further create one unique voice. On both sides of his ESP Institute debut Liturgia, Tobar couples one pulsing dance-driven track with another atmospheric and immersive track, requiring we educate ourselves in the polarity of this language he's building, one that will expand to tell a broader story later this year with his debut album. We welcome Ricardo Tobar, another forward-thinking artist, to the ESP Institute, and are proud to support any direction his compass points from here, as we believe he'll never follow but will always lead.

Richy Ahmed has been steadily building his Four Thirty Two label over the last 12 months, introducing talented artists such as Jansons and Senzala to the fold. The imprint is fast becoming a 'go to' label for those who like their house music uncomplicated and hype free, ensuring the Chicago and Detroit house sound burns bright with new music indebted to the roots of the music.

After recent releases on Seth Troxler's Play It Say It label, and remixes for London Grammar, Richy brings the goods back to home on this latest Four Thirty Two release.

On 'Can't Stop Us', chunky stabs incessantly jab at meaty drums, as a female vocal loop rides on an opening filter. The good vibes build to a classic house piano crescendo that Marshall Jefferson would certainly approve of, as the soaring strings and evolving drums raise the rapturous mood to dizzying heights.

On the flip, the percussive disco drums of 'Dials Mavis' are bolstered by a booming sub bassline whilst deft keys and deep Rhodes chords deliver the infectious melody on this bumping jazz ride.

Uplifting, classy, mid 1990s Detroit school trained Techno EP.

Longtime Raíz collaborator Subversive makes his debut on Droid sister label VRV with Chainbreaker. Subversive has appeared previously on Historia y Violencia and Contruct Re-form (under the name Deception Plan w/ Voiski). This release for VRV is a collection of 3 tracks that reflect his focused, methodical programming. The title track stretches a deep, driving narrative over the course of 7 minutes, perfect for adding hypnotic breathing room to any set. The other side contains Intergalactic, a subtle and harmonic passage that sets the stage for A2, Telemore. Telomere begins with intense, brooding synth design that inevitably builds into heavy rhythm structures, providing the set's most driving dance sounds.

Subversive delivers a follow-up to last season's VRV release Chainbreaker, this time with two measured explorations of atmosphere and movement. The title track, Domestique, builds its drama around delayed synthesis, crafting a wash delayed environment that keeps a strong pace. Corosync emerges from a similar approach but intensifies the drum programming and strips away melodic layers. VRV label bosses Raíz rework Corosync with emphasis on thicker beat construction and synthesized psychedelia. All the tracks play on the best of the Detroit-Berlin connection and are primed for in-the-mix hypnosis.

Beatrice Dillon and Call Super debut on Hessle Audio with their first collaboration, an EP of intricate and immersive club tools

EMEX is the emergent project of George Apergis, who is the owner of Modular Expansion records. His brand new release 'Hyperion' is a collaboration with Studio 416, a mysterious project which based in Berlin. 'Hyperion' is a hypnotic, minimal track with deep chords which progresses into darker territories while the dark strings come. The release includes 3 massive remixes. The first one has been remixed from Alexander Kowalski, who has created a perfect groovy tool with his unique classic style, an instant hit. The second remix is coming from the legendary Brian Sanhaji, who is making the track darker with his pumping futuristic version. The release is closing with the hard, minimal and melodic remix from Subjected of Vault Series, an artist from the upcoming Berlin techno scene.

Written & Produced by George Apergis & Studio 416

COLLECTING ORDERS FOR REPRESS!

Introducing a new outlet called Mojuba Jouem for a special project of a special artist. Jouem hailing
from the fantastic Berlin based imprint Just Another Beat graces Mojuba with a series of releases
called EPISODES to be seen as a whole conceptual piece of art. This talent gained a lot of attention
through his fabulous two releases Drifting EP and Levitation EP and is now back to continues his
musical journey!

LET Amsterdam head honcho and De School resident JP Enfant returns to Mojuba Sub label a.r.t.less for his second release "Virtus EP". JP delivers three crafty, atmospheric, uplifting, highly effective 1990s Detroit Techno futurism schooled tracks for you, enjoy!

After Oliver's and Fran's track "Echoes" already received the full remix treatment it is now the slow jazzy trip-hop ballad "I Might" that gets cured for the dancefloor.

The new Mojuba brings some fresh tunes from the always reliable Oracy. The title track 'Rewound' is a deep and warm excursion into the sound cosmos that was build on the heritage of Detroit and Chicago. The flipside is called 'Hold Me' and comes along as peak time cut with some hypnotic disco elements and a phat bassline to proof some serious floor qualities! That's how we like it!

The brainchild of Damian Lazarus, Crosstown Rebels has become home to many big hitters. Following on from his remix of Satori earlier this year, Riva Starr delivers his own, three-part tribal beast, ADVENTURES IN DRUMS.
MY AFRIKA opens up the EP with what would appear to be a tribal leader commanding your attention as the wobbly synths draw you in. As the heady bass kicks in you can't help but succumb to the rhythm. On EUROVOODOO, alien sounding synths are weaved amongst high hats luring you into a trance-like, hypnotic state. EL SONIDO leans towards a faster, flamenco style sound with tribal singing beckoning you to the dancefloor.
Riva Starr is the alias of East London based Stefano Miele. He has long been a staple in the club scene bringing dancefloor fire to some of the world's biggest stages, from Glastonbury to Japan's Fuji Rock. His credibility as an artist has led to collaborations with some of the industry's biggest players, including the likes of Green Velvet, as well as remixing for a number of high-profile musicians such as Wiley and London Grammar. Founder of Snatch!, 2017 was a monumental year for the label having reached its 100th release.

Mojuba sub label a.r.t.less presents the second 12 by Munich Techno Duo Trap10. Three cuts of high quality Detroit influenced no nonsens Techno, ranging from heavy peak time action to subtle emotion ladden deepness, enjoy it!

Dub Chronicles is a limited series of releases featuring different shades of dub-techno and-house.
No name-dropping, no excessive fabulation, only the music counts.

For over 4 years, David Coccagna aka Chaperone has been a constant part of Great Circles, as musician, art director, and muse. With Snapback Balaclava he once again fully embodies all of those roles, delivering three inspiring tracks, selecting his remixers with specific attention to their musical histories, and designing his cover art.

Across the A-side, Chaperone scrapes away at the grit - personal grit, the grit of anxiety, and Philly grit. These are meditations on loops, and loops on meditations. Each one appears on the surface to be a brief quote, but time dilation takes over, and minutes later we discover that Chaperone has welcomed us into and back out of his own healing moment.

Like Chaperone's P O N D release (GRCR-009), the B-side of Snapback Balaclava is a Great Circles extended family affair with a trio of diverse remixes that expose and exploit fragments of the chaos Chaperone so carefully contained.

Hitoshi Kojima (Thrive) reinterprets Pulse Feels Swells Beating with relentless syncopated rhythms and synth lines that hang like massive string drones. M//R lays down a signature percussion ensemble palette, zeroes in on otherwise peripheral elements of Grit Neglect, and then deftly navigates sea change with both. Matt Korvette and Sean McGuinness of Philly punk band Pissed Jeans open up the pit and finish the story, taking Femur Baseball Bat to its literal and brutal potential with monstrous vocals and kicks.

Partition', appropriately produced by label owner Deepak Sharma is gritty and raw, centered on being a powerfully effective DJ tool. It symbolizes a nod to the label's past and longevity but more so signals the future territory and modern world the imprint will reside in.

To commemorate the memorable occasion, one of techno's most authoritative, important and reputable producers, Developer of Modularz distinction has provided two heavy-duty remixes. Additionally, label staple Yuuki Sakai delivers an extraordinary remix to round out a historic release from Hidden Recordings.

Cryovac Recordings enters a new sensible era of home grown production focusing on strong statements of personal style. Cryovac stresses a minimal approach to basic production with a simple soul to shape a tale of sound. The Broke Lighter E.P. is a versatile mix of characters that come together and combine their visions into one vista. This shared space of consciousness is translated to vinyl for your inspection. Cryovac Recordings continues to shine light on every corner of the Detroit Underground to expose a depth of talent that is overlooked.

The 19th edition of the Cryovac series is a moody stab at the heart of techno. It starts off with Disc Detroit's upliftingly melancholy 4/4 groover that transforms synth and turns percussion with a steady patience. Dutch Mike executes a smooth assault lead by a 303 harmony, backed by a heavy baseline and flanked by tricky programming that shifts cymbal formations. Vontell C. and his son Vontell F. sneak a dark vibe into the mix with a manic and excitable minimal ballad detuning and nodding out while detailing the burning of pretty things. Andy Garcia applies a minimalized Motown sound via strumming guitar, vintage vocals, and easy beat that rises and falls creating a serene phonic envirorment. Every track on the Broke Lighter is an opportunity to go in a new direction.

Mechanisms Industries re-emerges from the Tape Studio to welcome the return of Hunt Patterns with 3 tracks of pure dark, gritty analog Techno. Lots of mechanical sequences for maximum peak time dance floor performance.


Mission Statement:
In the Tape Studio, one of the most essential processes is the combination of one sound with another, or with many others to produce a new, composite sound. This process known as additive synthesis, is made possible from a digital and analog source. This process can have two results: (1) a single, more complex output in which the various input signals have lost their individual identities while creating a new sound (more or less analogous to the blending of colors); or (2) a texture with various individual components occurring simultaneously but distinctively. Since 1996, the Mechanisms Industries Tape Studio has been guided by composer Fanon Flowers and several anonymous associates.

Jane Oak is a Paris-based DJ and techno producer. She grew up listening to Detroit pioneers; Jeff Mills, Robert Hood and Blake Baxter whom greatly influenced her work. In her first EP Low Pressure Zone with Caduceus records, she unveils a dark minimalistic universe, intensified by sharp beats and hypnotic melodies. An audacious EP for this young Belgian producer.

The ghost am I
Of winds that die
Alike on land or sea,
In silence deep
To shroud and keep
Their mournful memory.

Having released a number of tracks for on Level NO Zero, Cocoon, Escapism and Tanzbar, the german guy from Frankfurt, Matt Star finally breaks on our Rounqube Musik dropping his own EP after the appearance on the 2X12 Roundqube Family Anniversary. Radio EP is a crazy minimal microphunk four-tracker with 3 originals with precious bouncy remix of the main track reworked by the label ambassadors' Gabriele Carasco and Francesco Passantino.

An intense introspection of sound deconstructionism and spacial dissonance presented in this 4 track (plus 2 lock grooves) EP entitled Nonharmonic Beautifault. The A Side is introduced with the track 'Blank Hand', a sludge fuelled walk into dusty audio bites and asthmatic rhythms, topped with screaming hoovers and TV static that at once builds up, collapses into beautiful cacophony. Leading us into the 'Body Molecule' - A rushing pad and sparkling percussion pinned to a rolling kick pattern that drives this track toward a central point of attacking synths and swarming soundscape. The run out locked groove features a deep distorted kick that loops into infinity. The other side starts with 'Angular Beautifault'. Acidic Rhythms and Buzz Saw Synths all washed together into a shimmering reverberated cavern that explodes with high powered clap patterns and bubbling 303 lines. Following this we have 'The Burin' - an uncompromising, high paced assault of power kicks and slanted percussion. Incessantly driving and unyielding towards the final lock groove of distorted sub loop. Nonharmonic Beautifault represents a shift in Positive Centre's work that aims beyond the delicate ambience into harder and darker sound territories.

pulsewidthmod,creates tracks that are very epic and driving in nature; all of which are recorded as live techno jams using Elektron's Dark Trinity and an MS20 mini. Her influences from Techno to Industrial, EBM, and Belgium New Beat leaves the listener with some menacing drums and a juxtaposition of both pleasing and disorienting melodies.


Serpentine Servitude explores the idea that perhaps the serpent in the garden of eden was really being humanities servant. Who was this creator character to dictate which fruit was ok for us to eat Who was he or they to say that if we ate the fruit we would be tainted and forever separate from divine love All this did was create the idea in our consciousness that we were tainted. It is of my personal belief that the idea that we are sinful is the original sin. This God character who created beings in his own image and then dictated how they were to live their life kind of sounds like an over controlling father. Where is mother in all this The album started with the track 'Original Sin' which was originally titled 'acid'. Seems somewhat appropriate since the concept of original sin seems to be a violation on humanities consciousness

The latest release on Serotonin brings recently remastered versions of four classic Synapse tracks from the early years of the label together into the "Cosmic Freak Gas Bubble" EP

Side A features two tracks from SER004 "Get the Freaks and Get Some". Side B contains two tracks from SER-002, a split EP with Auto Kine c.

"Cosmic Connecton" is classic Synapse electro-chill, featured
back in the day on the infamous late night German television
series 'Space Night' and related compilatons. This track is a call
to intelligent extraterrestrial seekers of intergalactc FNK. Fse
this as your beacon, broadcastng across the galaxy and bringing the aliens to you.

"The Freak" is an undeniable body mover and was featured on the legendary DJ Assault mix CD "Straight Up Shit Detroit Vol 3". An homage to straight up Detroit funk is exactly what Synapse was going for and with 'The Freak' they clearly hit the target.

Back in the rave days 'Gas" was an electro/breaks cross-over 'hit" in the FSA, getng play in dirty warehouses across the naton in 996. A randomly

selected spoken Japanese vocal clip provides a repetetve, non-sensical hypnotc hook. The sample apparently has something to do with environmentalism and sounds cool. The hybrid style of "Gas" hits a lot of the Serotonin values, from funk to new wave melody to breakbeat rave energy.

Just when you think you've fgured out what Synapse is all about, 'Bubble" presents yet another hybrid. The hypnotc dub techno chords create a dream state in which to lose consciousness of the fact that the infectous beat already has you rocking.

The "Cosmic Freak Gas Bubble" EP from Synapse is one record to have when you need some funk to match any occasion.

Dark Entries release the latest album from Michel Amato aka The Hacker, 'Le Théâtre des Opérations'. Michel began making music in 1989 a the age of 17 in Grenoble, France. He grew up listening to New Wave bands like Duran Duran, The Cure and Depeche Mode as well as the darker side of electro Kraftwerk, Cabaret Voltaire and D.A.F. In 1990s he released a series of 12' singles and an album of cold, calculating and relentless techno. In 1997 he teamed up with Caroline Herve aka Miss Kittin and to release landmark singles and albums that effortlessly channeled the carefree spirit of 80s electro pop (of which we released an EP of lost demos back in 2015). Michel's new live project sees the enigmatic artist go back to his roots, performing a 100% analogue set directly inspired by his first true loves of New Wave and dark, powerful techno.

'Le Théâtre des Opérations' features 8 new tracks spread evenly across 2x12's cut at 45rpm for maximum sound quality and DJ utility. The title comes from a metaphysical journal by French-born Canadian science fiction writer Maurice G Dantec. Passionate about avant-garde techno, The Hacker has taken his influences and crafted a potent homage to the power of the synthesizer. Songs veer from gritty, raw EBM to dark, subterranean electro, effortlessly channeling the strains of the Michel's musical DNA: Front 242, Jeff Mills, Dopplereffekt, Drexciya. The only vocal track features an appearance by longtime friend and collaborator Miss Kittin, named Time X' after the French science fiction television series Temps X. All songs have been mastered and lacquer cut by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. Cover artwork features a collage by London-based artist Anthony Gerace, and each copy includes a postcard featuring a photo of a young Michel from 1989.

As we step into 2018, DJ Bone brings another fresh fusion of funk and ferocity, Composed for deployment on his own Subject Detroit imprint, A Piece Of Beyond is a detailed and varied cross section of Bone's multidimensional musical mind, journeying along a strong spine of Detroit Techno in all its many shapes, colours and textures...
