Techno Novedades

Flawless, idiosyncratic pure Techno stomper.

This is PASOmusic boss Marc Miroir's second single release of his second album Identity Kit. Intakt is highly gripping and shows Marc´s affinity to 90´s techno tracks with filtered Hi-Hats and kicking bells. Unison Wax and Beste Modus artist Diego Krause gives his very own enthralling interpretation of Intakt. Comfort Zone is a signature track of Marc with the vocals of opera singer Adam Schilling. The playfully daunting vocals are set up with long delays, arranged to a warm and driving track with chords and dub sounds. Kia & Handmade produced the unbelievably strong techno remix. Handmade is resident DJ at Tresor and also at Marc´s popular Berlin party MEMBERS and this is his very first release! Kia released her productions on La Peña and Playhouse!

Detroit techno bass. Two strong uptempo movers, BUY

It's safe to say that Terence Fixmer's track "Aktion Mekanik Theme", originally released on Music Man in 2003, was as much a landmark release for techno as the whole Aktion Mekanik compilation was for EBM as a genre. "As an artist who's been pushing EBM sounds into the modernity of Techno it was a logical step to do the compilation back then," Terence says. "I wanted to show my influences as a Techno artist, as Detroit sounds weren't my roots at all, but classics by Front 242, Fad Gadget, Nitzer Ebb, Crash Course In Science or Snowy Red.

I met Music Man's Stefaan Vandenberghe through Emmanuel Top in '93, and of course I was a fan of his label. Music Man was obviously the perfect place for this EBM project: they are from Belgium, they knew the bands, many of them were proud of this sound. So I discussed my idea of putting out a compilation with some classic and landmark tracks from the EBM direction with Stefaan, and it got made."

While Ostgut Ton now releases three new versions of "Aktion Mekanik Theme" by Kobosil, Norman Nodge & Marcel Dettmann, Music Man now reissues the original version on red 12" vinyl.

The Golden Age' from The Gods Planet LP 2' remastered and interpreted by Marcus Henriksson (Nobody Home, Minilogue).

For the second Elastique Music release we could win great artists over to our label. Daniel Madlung takes it to the next level with an energetic and minimalistic track, which nearly seems to explode.

The tunes on the B-side, one by Christopher Lawrenz and one by Nicola Koch will certainly move your feet. You'll definitely cut the rug to these tunes.

In this time of age where it seems many are slowing down the BPM on tracks and releases it makes us extra proud and happy to send you another Fast and XTRM Hardcore monster!

All 4 tracks rock out harder than hard and the slowest track on the EP is 190 BPM.. So you boys & girls get the message... This is not for the weak hearted... This is HARD Core!!!

Hope you guys enjoy these releases as much as we do and play it loud and fast just as DROKZ & AKIRA intended it to be played!!

Already moving forward towards the 5th addition to their catalog within barely one year of existence. The Rotterdam-based Self Reflektion imprint continues to expand their crew presenting a four-track sampler with music from the likes of Logotech (Manifesto/IT), Hiroaki Iizuka (THEM/JP), Remco Beekwilder (Self Reflektion/NL) and Lenson (Paling Trax/NL) - each showing their own perspective in techno music.

From the trippy hypnotic 'The 6th Door' to the overwhelming 'The Circle' on the a-side, and from the straight banging 'Fraud' to the "destroy everything" attitude on 'Envy Cross', this release is just a small example of what is yet to come from this young label.

Early support by Dave Clarke, Tripeo, Marcel Dettmann, Cleric, Truss, Truncate, MTD, Zadig, Dax J, Stranger, Len Faki, NX1 among others.

The latest Milos instalment on his own Receptive Visions label. First cut energy tremor rolls along with it's metallic beats and synth stabs, while samadhi which has a more energetic feel with it's clattering drums and bubbly liquid keyboard lines, will certainly get the dance floor moving.

French label Meant has had a great run of things in 2012 with standout release from Vosper, Rework and Remain vs Populette getting

love from DJs across the board and extensive press support. Now the imprint looks to an act that have already proved their worth

with previous releases, the excellent Monoblok & PSLKTR. Monoblok & PSLKTR have been working together since 2009 and have

been responsible for releases on Notorious Elektro and Lebensfreud Records as well as of course the Meant label. Their unique take

on the modern sound of electro has given them a loyal fan base and this latest release with its intense feel and stellar remix selection is

certain to attract plenty of attention.



The EP kicks off with title track 'Spooky', a rolling, dark edged affair that melds element of electro and techno into a cut that is intense

from beginning to end. Vocoded vocals, off kilter synth parts and nagging top lines tie the record together and make for a

rollercoaster of a listen!
The original is accompanied by a remix from French production heavyweight Michel Amato AKA The Hacker who turns into a full
bore, old school electro workout that is simply stunning. The flipside of the vinyl gets going with 'Sigminder' feat MTH, a brooding
and squelchy electronic workout that walks a balanced line between dark and light with its swirling FX and close to Distortion
synth riffs, quality stuff. The remix duties on 'Sigminder' are handed to La Dame Noir who deliver a hypnotic reworking that retains
much of the original character whilst very much stamping it's own sound on things. There are 2 digital exclusives, the Vosper
remix of 'Sigminder' which delivers some quality techno and the 'Assault on Meant 15 edit' of Spooky that offers up some slo-mo
soundtrack action.
More quality from the Meant label, nothing less than you would expect, enjoy!

NHK yx Koyxen walks at any speed and on any surface he desires to trance-scend. His "Parallel Tempo EP" takes a mindful plunge into layers of rigorously murmuring gestures. Speed is relative to size. As they are streched and bent, the planes engage in parallel movement. This is an exploded drawing, unlocked from time.

The Japanese artist and producer NHK yx Koyxen contiunes to unveil his unique vocabulary, as the "Parallel Tempo EP" builds on a series of releases for L.I.E.S., Diagonal, DFA and The Trilogy Tapes. Publishing drawings and music alike, NHK yk Koyxen aka Kohei Matsunaga offers playful and sometimes unexpected glimpes of the "almost common". Performing on electronic music's timeless DNA, he offers those who step in a resonating space, in which loose objects are bound to embrace each other.

Zemlya (earth), the final installment of Nocow's three-part EP-series for Figure unearths the artist's maybe most drastic work to date. While opener Libbi still sprouts gently into crystalline arteries of ambiance, the incessant arps of Synchronicity loom ominously. Equally challenging, yet offering conciliation in form of string-led soothing is Rave Button, after which the record finds closure in the seemingly open-ended sound spiral of Troubles Will Be Miles Away.

After successful releases with labels such as Rawax, Taped Artifact & Thule Records, the two Icelandic techno titans bring us yet another intriguing release.A Ohm is best known for his releases on Force Inc with his long-time partner Exos and as an inventive techno DJ. Octal Industries, a veteran who has already gained a reputation within the IDM community under his Ruxpin pseudonym, returns yet again to his origins with collaborating with Ohm, a pioneer of the within the Icelandic scene.
Bardo EP offers us four enigmatic & atmospheric techno tracks with intricate soundscapes and otherwordly chords. From the ethereal sounds of Bardo to the hard hitting Flow Machine,A this EP works as an essential choice for both the dancefloor as well as for dancefloor within your mind.

First issue of the new Flash Forward Unreleased Series with a great team up : Oneiric and Man-D.A.! Emanuele Luzzi, the man behind Onirico ("Stolen Moments") and Oneiric ("Blue Envelope"), comes back with one exclusive unreleased track, composed at the time of "A Tone Colour Of Onirico" (1992). Due to the hypnotic strings sample and emotional MiniMoog solo, "Aurora" hits the target at first listening, reminding happy sounds from that period. Ultimately, another great release from Flash Forward ! Man-D.A. - Calling 313 : This track was conceived in 1992, during a very prolific period when he was remixing songs by Juan Atkins, Underground Resistance, Blake Baxter for the legendary UMM label and the Detroit influence is evident ! remastered for Flash Forward ! Past and Furure classic !

Techno duo Slam present a brand new artist album 'Machine Cut Noise'.
With the double vinyl album, Machine Cut Noise, Stuart McMillan & Orde Meikle delve into the everyday workings of what makes us human, with life, so to speak, running at the very heart of album. Much of their time is spent on the road, therefore, many of the original ideas for the album were created in airports, hotels and where ever the two found themselves inspired around the world. This created a vibe that each track was born of the modern machine itself.
These concepts are quickly prevalent on the album with every track has a singular purpose or energy unique to itself. Emotive or programmed piece, there is a feeling that the way it has been constructed has been paved by the machines which surrounds us.
Slam have spread the net in terms of production on this album, basing it around their grander tastes in electronic music with the opening pairing of Inauguration & The Afore Mentioned veering into more dystopic sounds and the likes of Viginti Quinque, Ecclesiastic & Evite providing the harder edged themes in the first half of the album. The haunting sounds of Psalm & Anagram bring tension throughout, delivering shades of the future with buzzing, sombre chords set to static interference before one more peak time burst in Corridorsallowing the duo to close out the album in an exceptionally refined way with Obstacle curving slowly downward leaving the ethereal soundscape of Fine.
The pair have lately been on consistent form with a highly prolific run of singles and remixes including the critically acclaimed 'Soma Track Series' all housed on their label Soma Records which is currently celebrating 25 years at the cutting edge of electronic music.

Rising Sun, DJ Fett Burger (as Fett Birger) and Tijana T grace the second remix package of Spencer Parker's 'Different Shapes and Sizes' series on Work Them Records this February.

Following on from the first remix release, which featured DJ Deep, Akirahawks and Setaoc Mass, part two will see more reinterpretations of Spencer Parker's 2017 series from an array of talented producers.

Rising Sun has earnt a cult following for his otherworldly productions as well as curating labels such as Kristofferson Kristofferson, Styrax and Millions of Moments and here we see the accomplished producer
deliver two hypnotic and classic sounding variations of 'Riff Shapes'.
Sex Tags and Freakout Cult cofounder DJ Fett Burger then provides an acid-laced mix of 'Size:Yes' as DJ Fett Birger. Finally, respected Belgrade techno DJ Tijana T closes the release with a robust and evolving rework of 'A Different Size'.

LP There's been an air of hypnagogic mystery surrounding Acid Test's sublabel Avenue 66 from the start. Joey Anderson's oblique, Prince-inspired incantation "Above The Cherry Moon" set the tone for a label that's sound that has found beauty in the furthest recesses of the dance floor, in the murkiest decay of kick drums and rave stabs. Fitting then, that the first album on the imprint comes from Trux, an artist who has chosen to reveal nearly nothing about themselves. Following a cult classic mini-LP for Office Recordings, "Orbiter" bears out the anonymous producer as a master of liminal, conceptual dance music. "Orbiter's" ten tracks have a vaporous, shape-shifting quality, threatening to topple over into full-on kick drum bliss or vanish into ambience. Opener, "With It," moves from heady ambient rush to skeletal piano, while "Blinko" and "Roy's Garage" spell out a hazy memoriam for the UK continuum. Forlorn pianos ring out amongst the field recordings, excitable toms and jungle bass all softened in the enveloping gauze. "Orbiter" positions Trux as an unknown auteur who puts evocative world of tone and echo into dizzying motion, content to watch from the wings.

STAUB comes back on wax for a third episode. Following the no name policy from the parties which started 5 years ago in ://about blank, it is time again for unknown artist to shine. This new EP sees the shy producer appearing on 4 tracks of pristine techno. A1 is an atmospheric trip while A2 is more brutal, on the B side it is going weirder and darker. We think Unknown Artist tries to craft interesting techno cuts and that he loves variety.

That it is the idea behind STAUB since its beginnings, it does not matter whether you are a newcomer or Lady Gaga, what matters is the quality of the music. This is what was again aimed with this third record.

1st vinyl outing from the mysterious new User Engine project coming soon. Celebrating various aspects of house and techno, the new world order EP charts a journey from blistering old-school acid-house to more modern sounding techno floor burners. Will be released on Stepback Records, mastering by Radioactive Man, Illustration by Jamie Kinroy.

FA>lE Records is back for their second various artists EP. Including tracks from Brett Jacobs, Stuart Hawkins, Petar Cvetkovic & Nektar Agu. Limited Edition / vinyl only.

This 4-tracker from Spanish Affkt might quite simply be his best
release to date. I have always admired his different and quirky
productions and as the followers will know we have released tracks with Affkt before.This time me and Marc (aka Affkt) went deep into A&R'ing the release to make sure all tracks reached their full potential. Tracks have been added and removed from the release over time. The tracks have been re-arranged, adjusted, revisited over a period of 9 months time (yes thats how much time we spent carefully putting this release together and making sure it was perfect). I am really proud of what Marc acomplished with this release on Noir Music. All 4 tracks work
really well in the clubs and they each have a very strong Affkt signature which I wont bother describing in detail by words but rather have you listen to these amazing Squared pieces.

With its seventh release, NEW YORK TRAX welcomes the revival of John Selway's 'Semblance Factor' alias. Selway became an indispensable element of the history of the New York sound by virtue of building an extensive catalog of high quality releases spanning almost three decades and multiple genres of electronic music. From his first electronic band Chaotic Sound Matrix, to his major contributions to the early productions of Deep Dish; from his first success in the techno world as part of the seminal New York duo Disintegrator to the most successful of his collaborations, Smith & Selway, and his deep and minimal techno label CSM; from the intelligent electro-funk of Synapse and Serotonin Records, the electro and synth-pop of Memory Boy to the wild improvisational eclecticism of the Rancho Relaxo Allstars, Selway has created one of the richest bodies of work in the world of electronic music.

'Defiance EP' is a venture into hard-hitting electro, acid, and raw industrial-leaning and experimental sound. Below the intense threshold of sound, there is a message for today's complacent society...

For this 6th release Act-fact Record presents a young and talented Romanian artist Kivu".

M-Twelve is a new collaboration between Tortured and Electrix label owner, Billy Nasty and Nick Dunton of Surface Records, 65D Mavericks fame and more recently, Poverty is Violence label.
Taking their name, M-Twelve, from the iconic Fred Perry T-shirt, the pair decided to combine forces based on a love of techno and electro, their strong friendship and many late night conversations in the back rooms of various nightclubs. They started recording together last year and the 'Apocalypse in Paradise EP' is the first signs of their monthly meetings at what's been dubbed, 'Dunton Abbey Studios'.
The EP features their two original cuts of beautifully crafted emotional electro, the warm and glittering 'All The Things' and 'Time Spent' with it's deep narrative and tough machine groove. In addition, remixes of 'Time Spent' come from Sync 24 (Scand / Cultivated Electronics) who delivers an energetically fuelled reworking and Electro veterans, Transparent Sound with a stripped and stomping acidic version.
Billy and Nick have also just started work on remixes for tracks by London Modular Alliance and Mr Velcro Fastener, so expect to hear more of their M-Twelve work over the coming months.

Commencing Ovum's 20th birthday celebrations, Josh Wink digs into the vaults for a very special piece of the label's history, presenting three perfect reinterpretations of Wink's hyperkinetic acid techno classic 'Are You There'. Wink explains the history and concept behind the track: 'The original version was composed in 1994 - just after 'Higher States', 'I am ready' and 'Don't laugh' - and released in 1996, I can't believe it has been 20 years since it was written! I had a friend, in Cleveland Ohio, who knew I never answered my home phone. So, when he called my house, he believed I was there screening and listening to the calls on my answering machine. Hence, 'Are you there". Which was actually taken from my answering machine mini cassette, with his blessing. Ben Klock contacted us in regard to him using his own remix version for his fabric mix release. We gave him permission, as an exclusive to the mix, with the possibility for Ovum to release it at a later time. A while ago, we at Ovum were talking about releasing certain catalog legacy tracks for the 20 Years celebration, and 'Are You There' was one on the top of the list. We decided to release his remix on Ovum in 2014, which we're very happy about as we are big fans of Ben. There is also an ROD remix by Benny Rodrigues. Benny is a talented passionate producer who contacted me to ask to remix the original. It's nice to be able to release music close to 20 years old that people are still influenced by. We will be re-releasing both the original and remix versions as part of the 20 years of Ovum celebration.' - Josh Wink Ben Klock's remix retains the clattering amen breaks of the original, which sits over a cavernous sub-bass undertow. The ROD remix is dangerously stripped back, letting the vocal snippet take precedence against jacking handclaps and skittering hi-hats.

Pupil Dilations - new EP by Russian producer Kausto (real name Kuzma Palkin) for Roots United records.
5 tracks was produced in 2004 - 2007 in Kausto's hometown Severodvinsk on a vintage PC using Jeskola Buzz Tracker and old VST plugins.
Main source of inspiration - music of that time: Baby Ford, Humanoid, 808 State's Newbuild, as well as Analord series by AFX.
Original EP consisted of 6 pieces with the sixth track coming out as a bonus on digital release.

Rekids welcomes Madrid-based producer Regal to the label for the first time, with the long-awaited release of the Figure/Enemy Records affiliate's interpretations of Ghetto Kraviz.

With the original named by FACT Magazine as one of the top 100 tracks of the decade so far, Regal's 303 and Dub remixes have meanwhile been a recurring feature in the sets of DJs including Nina Kraviz, who fell in love with them immediately upon being sent them last year, leading to their eventual release on Matt Edwards's recently re-launched imprint.

The A-side sees the Involve Records boss turn in an jacking, acidic take, while on the flip, the Dub version heads in a more classic techno direction, replete with pounding kicks and cathedral-filling reverb. These are two killer remixes have been going down a storm!

Hypnotic lines and machine made sounds and noises are what to expect by Petter B on this 8th release on Bond. All four tracks were made during one weekend with a simplistic setup. Its straight forward techno with sparse arrangement, focusing on the experience of how a melody or a sound can come alive on a dancefloor when played right.
The label Bond is the brainchild of Swedish techno DJ and
producer Petter B. The concept of the label is music by DJs for DJs. The label focuses on releasing tracks that enable the DJ, rather than the producer, to be creative. It is based on that special bond which is created every time a DJ combines tracks, loops and sounds live into something new and unique.

Madeira-born Robert S makes his Konstruktiv debut after appearances on Sleaze, Arts, Planet Rhythm and his own Robert Limited imprint.

Moderna is straight shooting techno, hard-hitting with hints of rolling funk and a bleak contrast to the sun-drenched Portuguese setting that saw its inception.

The synth stabs of EP opener Moderna steadily rise and open up, driving the track forward while low-slung drums keep the beat in check. Label-boss Rekord 61 drops in on A2 with his remix of the title-track. The original stabs take an aerial backseat and a compact beat powers through vapor and wear.

Trilha Acida sets things straight from the first second on the flip. A threatening acid line pummels the listener with mechanical consistency while a startling chord rehearses a monosyllabic monologue. Black Jocker, the fourth and final cut closes on a dystopian note, with austere drums and a dark souvenir triggering arpeggiator.

The latest SM release presents two Spanish artists, three are the tracks for ethical Error, composed of new order sounds, tight and industrial synths, with bassline that bring the dancefloor back into a disturbing atmosphere.

Taciturn Manner is Reggy van Oers's first full length on his own Telemorph imprint.

Pertained in a period of strained self reflection, several field recordings have become the core upon which the album has been created. A persistant continuous movement throughout the elements of the tracks causes a certain constrasting tension and gradually transforms into lush cinematic textures.

An intricate and mesmerizing journey, full of rich and surprising details, resulting in a rather emotional expression of his constraint style and coherent distinct sound.

Filled with unique nuances and creative vocal sampling, knee rattling base and a sprinkle of synthesisers which hum and snap, enter Requite the latest offering from Tape Throb puppeteer and master of distortion The Cyclist. Progress through tracks which dip their rhythmic toes into techno, no wave and psychedelia, bridged across the divide by the artistic tropes of a musician who knows both his stamp and his reach. Dissimilar and yet united, material and yet transient, Requite is a favour returned from an adherence to the Andrew Morrison project, a response for the love which bent brass and set bones in motion. A flourish; now for the attentive Requite.

Empty is pleased to present his Various Artists comprising four new awesome singles with D-Mode (Italy), Solid Harmony and Fixell.A various artists,definitely Techno and House!

Bruno Limma debuts on Mentha Records with very special four techno/minimal tracks. The EP also brings a remix from the Brazilian producer Ney Faustini.

Mirror Trax proudly presents it's first release: the Esox Lucius EP by Esox Lucius! Born in the late 90's, Esox Lucius seems to have soaked up his environment quickly. Old school flavour transmitted to the depths where Esox Lucius roams seems to be the recipe for elementary and spaced-out techno. Nimbus on the A side is a classic techno track reminiscent of the X-Mix days! It's soothing melody and driving bass will propel you towards the clouds, cruise-missile style. On the B side, the first track Indica is a high-speed techno train. Driven by it's resonant lead and shifting snares, B1 will definitely leave you as high and disoriented as the name implies. Common thread on the B side seems to be a Hague-ish influence, as the closing track is a heavy grinding techno track with a hint of electro. B2 will definitely sink your ship so make sure The Hoff is around!

300 copies available.

Tempura Records presents...

His Stare5 handle began as a tribute to a friend and graffiti artist who unfortunately passed away (Stare was his preferred tag and 5 was his favourite number). The pseudonym also became Zentz's screen name in the mid-90s internet chat room era where he met, amongst others, Felix Da Housecat and ended up releasing two EPs as Stare5 on Felix's Clashbackk label. Both releases focused on a tougher, stripped down, Detroit-influenced sound, reminiscent of early Axis, M-Plant and Purpose Maker releases, as well as being influenced by a synth he was using at the time - the Roland Alpha Juno 1 and its chord memory function. A few other Stare5 releases have popped up over the years with different sounds on different labels (CMYK Musik, Circle, Thoughtless), but as Bryan states 'it seemed fitting to bring this moniker back home to a very Detroit-influenced sound once again. That era of music is something that has always influenced me and I have always returned to as a fan.'

This becomes immediately apparent on the 'Void Swimmer EP' opener, 'The Adverse Within' that displays some deep Detroit bones, before the tough workout, 'We Will Not'. Title track 'Void Swimmer' is next, laying down some dark and intense rumblings before the grooving 'Velonaut' closes this stellar EP.

Anamorph, Zepovek, Kaitaro and Plantae bring the mysterious trippy groove.

After starting out in a punk club he soon got more into techno and has since worked with distributer Zero Gravity, has played the Love Parade, opened his own Art of Badroom studio and has taken his dark sounds all over the world. Beroshima, meanwhile, is the alter ego of producer, DJ and label head Frank Müller, someone who has really made his mark on the global techno scene over the last twenty yearsboth solo but also with Ulrich Schnausson labels like Cocoon and Soma as well as his own Muller Records.
Up first is the pumping Green Base from Beroshima. Its a big ten minute monster with scuzzy synth lines, marching drums and prickly percussion that will sweep up any dancefloor and carry it off into the night. His second cut Mad World is just as big and bold, but is slightly more cosmic thanks to the spiritual pads in the background that add a trance including and heavenly feel to the slick, fast paced grooves.Then it is M.R.E.U.X. who goes for a much more deep and elastic roller on Concept Bass. It has snaking basslines that are warm and rubbery, icy hi hats and sci-fi synth droplets that really take you to another galaxy. Last but not least, Voltage Control is a white knuckle ride through physical drums and chattery percussion as fat synths and drilling machine sounds all burrow deep.This is high impact, freaky techno that cannot fail to standout on the dancefloor.

Boyd Goosman is back again to delivers an atmospheric, deep and emotive EP, based around a sparse palette of deep synth, warm bass and whispering vocals. The understated beauty of this record will touch every 'emotive techno' lovers ! The Bristol native Kamikaze Space Programme (Mote Evolver, Killekill...) deliver here a fantastic Dub Techno remix in a Massive Attack / Bristol / Future sound of London style. Highly recommended ! 300 Copies limited !

For the 23rd release on Pinkman, Rotterdam based Mitchell Goor delivers a 4 tracker of slow, raw and warped Techno. The contrast between unpolished percussive instruments and ethereal melodies reoccurs throughout the release and gets polished and refined by haunting vocal samples and pungent acid bass lines. This gives the record an ability to take audiences on rollercoaster rides through tension and anger as well as hope and promise, powered by permanent, adrenaline stimulating, raw energy.

The 6th release from Polybius Trax is the second one from the series "Split Project" and, as usual, we have 1 artist for side.
On the A side you'll find "Feel The Head" from Posthuman, who run I Love Acid, one of the best acid house labels right now, and who brings us a bomb of neo-jacking in the way of Paranoid London.

On the B side we have "Get Up" from The Model, Romanian producer and head honcho of the label Adult Centre, who makes a perfect bass-house track with heavy bass and female vocals that give to the song a nice hedonistic touch. Both tracks are perfect for the dancefloor.

"Real name Takeshi Fukushima, Takecha has been a key figure within Japan's electronic music scene for decades and belongs to the same pioneering crew as Soichi Terada and Shinichiro Yokota. Now in his mid- fifties, 'Deep Soundscapes' is an album encompassing Fukushima's sound with every track written by the producer between 1990 and 2013. Intricate percussion and crystalline chords set the tone in 'Deep Drive' before a funky bassline joins serene synths in 'Midnight Things'. Appearing in Soichi Terada's mix for Resident Advisor (under its promo title 'Deep Loop C'), 'Gradual Atmosphere' is comprised of a galloping beat and saccharine chimes, 'Factory 141' sees Takecha demonstrate a murkier aesthetic, whilst 'Rhodes Detox' is a definitive example of Takecha's flair for expertly balancing elements within his productions. An homage to Shufflepuck Cafe´, an old Mac Plus video game Takecha would play on a black and white 9- inch monitor back in the day, 'Shufflepuck' blends ghostly melodies with clicks, whirrs and pops. 'Calm Imagination' is a poignant affair from start to finish with its hypnotising atmosphere, contrasting to the more up-tempo 'Warm Rondo' with its soulful keys and purring low-end. Tying it all together, 'Genuine Innocence' is a cut that Takecha made two versions of; one with a solo from a pianist and another with more emphasis on the beat, the latter of which appears on this album."

Jelly Bean Farm is marking its one-year anniversary with a special 4-track 12' release by Truska featuring a remix by Hodge. This is the London based producer's long-awaited EP after releasing on past Infinite Machine & JBF compilations. Lucky for us he has been honing his jagged and emotive take on bass & techno music and created a debut that is a pleasant diversion from structural norms. Bristolian heavyweight Hodge swoops in for the finale, reworking Lucid' into a dark and ominous techno-stomper. In all, a proper occasion to press our first record -enjoy!

Teja is publishing for its second anniversary two 4-tracker eps with various teja artists. The first is called "Quattro Stagoni " and features an headliner, two lable C.E.Os and a newcomer for the perfect balance. In the beginning we have the Berlin Artist "Patrick Arbez " with the track "Not Welcome" with the arbez specific distinctive dark techno, that let no leg unmoved. His latest vinyl release "Wo bist du hin" on the label "Vi Tva" should make him now ultimate to an headliner on every Clubflyer. The second track is by the Stuttgart newcomer - Audiooptiks composing an intense looping work based on a strong groove, a great tool for peak moments.


On the Bone Side, just two lableowners are having the honor, to release on Teja rec. Last but not least MesU.T. hits the floor with a percussive dark techno that is greatly matched with nu acid basslines.

On the Btwo-side, the leader of Monolith Records Berlin "Sirio Gry J" completes the release with an accelerating, polyheadred techno track.

Following 11 hotly tipped EP's, Format now delivers its first compilation release, packed to the brim with bomb cuts from both veterans as new faces. This first Format compilation is a prime example of the label's signature sound. Featuring an impressive variety of musical perspectives, it's a mint snapshot of Format's ever adventurous view on techno.

Format lays down an impressive array of minimal-tinged and powerful dance floor techno laced with depth and atmosphere. There's quite a lot to enjoy here to say the least; a very special appearance is made by legendary NY-producer Mike Parker, whose off-beat 'Necklace Dancer' perfectly reflects Format's penchant for abstract techno. It nestles well among chunky four-to-the-floor material from various trusted label associates: ROD delivers a raw house-flavored banger on 'Acine', while TWR72's 'EXP19' explores techno's darker territories. Label curator, Juan Sanchez, also steps up to the game with 'Warthog', a highoctane piece of fiery techno that captures the man's highly anticipated sound. Topping off, new label signees such as Mark Groot and Optics deliver intense cuts that already make us look forward to more of their studio output.

Format V.A. will be released on two separate vinyl releases, followed by a digital release featuring all nine tracks. The first 200 vinyl releases will be made available in transparent vinyl. The release features artwork by DEFRAME, and is based on the refraction of light. It is meant to represent the illusion of a tiny hypnotic multiverse, where each plane exists in a different time and space.

MOC's Alek S returns to the mothership with his third full EP, dropping just in time for the label's third birthday.
Kicking off the release in style, - Consciousness Outline' lays down the groundwork for a solid slice of punchy techno. Featuring a minimal array of elements, which aptly intertwine instead of seeing new layers pile up, it's a gradual build up of a powerful groove.
Hypercolour & Soma Records alum Roberto Clementi takes on remix duties, revamping - Consciousness Outline' into a cavernous techno affair. Switching the main focus on the percussive leads proves a good venture, as it results into a piece with major dance appeal.
- Penny Drop' dives in with a spacious loop, which keeps centre stage throughout the entire construction. Overall, it's an airy track, with ample pads and a loose yet gripping melody.
- Neverending' rounds off the pack in an atmospherical, upbeat fashion. Ascending synth pads make for an uplifting ambiance, all set on a backbone of electrifying percussion.

Since 2014 Beneath's Mistry label has been an outlet for new talent showcasing debut releases from Laksa, Gaunt and Kailin, alongside unique records from fledging artists such as Batu & Chevel. After taking a side step away from the dance floor with Kailin's album Fracture, Mistry steps back onto the dance floor, albeit it in an awkward off key fashion, with a 12' from Beneath himself.

Blumoog music is proud to present its new release of 4 tracks of great musical thickness. This time, Blumoog music has selected quality and passion. We introduce a character like Aubrey Metroplex, Ferox, Outsgun and more...) with a classical song of his repertoire : low crushing bag and psychadelic; you will go to cosmic dimension.

They propose a dark psychadelic selection which will take you inside the deep abyss of your mind... Blumoog music is always near you with soul and passion for the electronics music.....good listening

Dekmantel regular Matrixxman returns with the third, and final instalment in the Sector series, Part III: Polyphony. In this triptych, the producer from San Fransisco sets out to highlight the key components behind the sounds and style of techno, exploring the range within the confines of a particular limitation. Following Parts I and II, which looked at Rhythm, and Acid, Charles McCloud Duff charters the realm of Polyphony with four, meticulously produced techno tracks, expanding his repertoire of cult, dancefloor music.Polyphony refers to the simultaneous combining of many notes in a musical sequence. In electronic music, this specifically refers to the role of the synthesiser - such as the Minimoog, ARP Odyssey, which can produce different pitches simultaneously. Polyphony has been an integral characteristic of the genre's sound for over a quarter of a century, and can be heard in many key records, living a the sonic forefront of these four tracks. 'Sector Series: III Polyphony' provides an exercise in melody and polyphony. Throughout the EP, swaggering rhythms are inter-washed with a sea of multi-melodious, reverberated notation. 'Initiation' resonates with the grandiosity, and harsh claustrophobia of early Underground Resistance. 'Access Granted', drives hard with pulsing effects, with a dystopic, rhythmic cacophony of euphony. 'Desert Planet' plays around with a differing tempo, imagining a more fantastical vision of music, echoing back to earlier Plastikman productions, using a vast sonic spectrum to conjure up a colour palette of alien imagery. 'Horizon' rounds things off; a track that builds on minimalism with a progressive composition, allowing the polyphonics to drive the track, harnessing the adept production qualities that Matrixxman has come to be recognised for.

The new release by POLY SONE on FRIENDSHIP & DECADENCE is an introspective trip with a bouncy, dubby flair that sets the scene with gritty synths and spacey arpeggios reminiscent of sci-fi soundtracks from the 80's and continues by avoiding the ordinary with some light Trance and a tinge of Acid. Get ready for this out-of-body experience and exit flesh!

Italian label Spazio Disponibile continues its fine run of form with a new EP that features four collaborative tracks by the bosses Voices From The Lake (aka Donato Dozzy and Neel) versus Semantica boss Svreca. The EP is a result of their first studio session all together in Rome. All three have been perfecting cinematic ambient techno for years now and have the cerebral, atmospheric aesthetic down to a tee. Here they offer up proof across a series of hypnotic tracks that take you deep into your own mind. It's alien and abstract yet wholly consuming and will zone you out in no time.

Trikk's follow-up on the Innervisions imprint is an evidence for his deeply anchored exploration of combining the mystical modern and traditional percussive to create new visions of House.

Medellín based bastard Verraco, strikes back with three eclectic and murderer cuts. Brutal electro and techno poisoned with synthwave jabs to hijack putrid dancefloors.

Ant Orange's third 12 for Karaoke Kalk forms something resembling a trilogy for the label. Right There' is built on a familiar Rhodes-n-bass aesthetic, combining the lo-fi jazz of 2017's Arkupe' with the soulful vocal motifs of 2015's s/t', while introducing more electronic ingredients and taking an increasingly exploratory approach to rhythm and composition.
The opening title track clocks in at over 8 minutes, growing slowly from soft tickled keys to a full-bodied groove circled by airy synths and fragmented RnB vocals. Drunk In The Trunk' then shifts down a gear, looping another vocal cut over a lazy, stripped-back wahwah vibe. Side A closes with experimental jazz skit Let That Sink In', its jerky tempo and flashes of light reminiscent of a late-night subway ride.
The B-side takes a more contemplative tone, with the meditative arpeggios and sparse drums of Comfort Zone' leading into the dusky West Coast stroll of Muscle Beach', before Rudis Goes Offline' picks up the tempo for a last shimmering dance. The closing track A Frozen Lake' sounds just like it sounds - chilled by name and by nature.
The completion of this trilogy marks a turning point in Ant Orange's sound, but that's all we can say for now - stay tuned for more. In the mean time just sit back and enjoy the sublime vibes of Right There.

DimDj has no control over his life. Machines, records and noise boxes took over years ago. This is more than confirmed by this 5-track journey from acid techno to the old-school electro and further to Kuno's dystopia, who delivers a complete acidic rework over PTN1.

All tracks produced by DimDJ.
A3 - Vocals by Trenton Chase
B1 - Remixed by Kuno

Astray is the Sublabel of Away, Berlin.

Berlin's party series and the eponymous vinyl label celebrate the launch of its sublabel ASTRAY with the 'Road Force EP' by Discrete Circuit. While AWAY with previous contributions from Joe Claussell, Mr. Ties, and Move D leans more to the housier side of things, ASTRAY will take a different path by taking some darker, techno-centered steps. Following the idea only to release productions by both label founders, Discrete Circuit and H4L, as well as unique collaborations which either of them will form with outside artists, ASTRAY's second EP will premiere the joint studio work of Discrete Circuit and DJ/producer Blind Observatory. EP INFO After releasing on labels such as DVS1's Mistress Recordings, Mark Broom's label Beard Manand Darko Esser's Wolfskuil Records, Discrete Circuit's new EP provides four progressivetracks mirroring his interest in a steadily growing techno narrative as well as mind manipulating onomatopoeia. On the A-side he's evolving his floor-aimed capabilities in two different ways: Starting with subtly quoting the infamous Motor City, the title track's on-edge techno design quickly accumulates into some kind of hounding; not knowing if you're the hunted or the hunter. 'Stress Resultant' increases the pace, whereby the restless vibe is contrasted by melodic synth patterns embodying a sort of playful corrective. The flip side introduces Discrete Circuit's experimental facet: 'Controlled Error' exhibits the dialogue between harmony and chaos in which shrieking, yet claustrophobic shades play hide-and-seek ultimately unfolding a gloomy funk, while the EP's last 'Circuitry' is completely carried by shape-shifting, pulsing soundscapes.

The dirtiest record that has released Discos Nutabe! "Vistante' is the new sound spectrum from ELO, an artist born in Maracaibo, Venezuela, and based in Bogotá, Colombia.

ELO has decided to raise the sound bet of Nutabe and offer a release that brings acid and techno elements combined with housey nuances. This is a product of his new life perceptions since his arrival to Colombia. It's an experiment for the dance floor, and his point of view of rude and disorganized house music. Or as he says Rough On The Edges'.

From "Trans", through "Generación' to Devolución', is a new journey that goes from deep to frenetic, from calm to turbulent ... This is the music of "Visitante'. HOT!

With releases on BNR Trax, Minimal Wave's Cititrax and a regular on Zone Records, French producer and RAAR co-founder Maelstrom makes his debut on CPU with 'Alph4', a seven track electro-leaning mini LP of one-take recordings.

Maelstrom's sound on Alph4 is comparable to Aphex Twin's more restrained Analord output. Focussed, highly detailed production alongside an abundance of evocative synth melodies will ensure these tracks become firm favourites with forward thinking DJs and electronic music fans.

Swiss artist and veteran producer Ripperton contacted the ESP Institute out of the blue mid-2017 to share a gorgeous mix of self-produced material, a collection of pieces made without any agenda outside of representing the self, not geared toward the dancefloor or a specific environment but simply a bi-product of introspective exploration. We were floored, the mix was on constant repeat in our world for weeks, then was subsequently pulled apart into separate titles to form this beautiful double LP, Ripperton's debut with the label. The title Sight Seeing speaks of someone stepping outside their current reality to look in the mirror, as if to ground themselves and keep sight of who they are in a world of extreme highs and lows. Inspired greatly by expansive landscapes and views from airplane windows (imagine your commute flying over the Alps every weekend), Ripperton describes this collection as postcards to himself, messages from his subconscious recorded on tape (both conceptually and literally), melancholy soundtracks to the Mondays that follow weekend journeys. While musical genres tend to cycle through bandwagon moments, the ESP Institute strives to operate independently of these, and while Sight Seeing is undoubtably an Ambient album, we're simply proud to revel in the chance moment where an esteemed artist such as Ripperton spreads his wings in a beautifully unexpected mode of expression.

Fusion' has that dark and trippy energy by the mixture of the characteristic Moog synth and 808 elements. While Old Machines' having more of an old school feel with a deep dub Techno basis.

Minimal, textural and cinematic in scope, Impossible Star follows the music innovators deeper into more experimental territory.

MBM's consistent musical invention has led to all forms of electronic musical experimentation over its 30 year history, from jungle to techno to industrial to dubstep to jazz fusion.

Guede Remixes is a remix compilation of DJ Hell taken from his 5th studio album Zukunftsmusik. The release features two remixes by Joyce Muniz and one by Paul Nazca. Guede's soundscape is acidic yet minimal, with its distorted vocals and raucous instrumentation lending the track an eerie and at times ethereal vibe. Each artist brings a uniquely different perspective on the sound of the original cut, whilst never completely abandoning the track's core identity. Paul Nazca infuses it with trance, Joyce Muniz keeps the acid and adds the deep.

This one has been out of print for nearly a decade - fetching out of the ordinary prices on Discogs - so we thought it would make a nice early x-mas gesture (oh man did we really just say that) to make it easy for all you cats born after 1987 to lay your hands on this gem. So this is the moment we comment on the music I suppose... Well let's not. This is a classic in the truest sense of the word, not just because its old, but yeah boy, because it's fakkin great, that's what! Oh and a Legowelt remix too...

Doom dancefloor Techno.

Seven sisters hail from Bristol under the supervision of label boss Miotek and this time they return with VA containing a stunning collection of tracks. Seven Sisters is a label with strong roots in Baltic with the label initially based in Ogre, Latvia whilst recently moving to Bristol. The EP consists of tracks produced by Latvian artists only, and that's no coincidence as the label choose these artists to shine a light upon the talent coming out of the country.

The opening track 'Days of Saturn' is produced by Cosmic Monkey , a producer who shifts between techno, electro and ambient effortlessly. Here we see Cosmic Monkey paint a wonderfully dystopian scene, with the bubbling acid bassline forcing the groove forward out of its dream like background.

Next Label boss Miotek steps to the plate with You Let the things go wrong' instantly you can start to hear Miotek's Chicago influences come through as a wonderfully trippy machine based jam explores the groove, briefly punctuated by a beautifully harmonically distorted, beat less swell of electronic goodness.
Doctor Gee is 3rd up on the vinyl and he drops 'Ur Here' this time he's teamed up with Wrth & Salmz to deliver an Electro romper. His trademark funk is again stamped all over this, but 'Ur Here' follows a more traditional electro jam with beautifully played synth solos and of course vocoded computer machine' vocal.

4th track on the VA is a doctor Gee remix 'Jurai' by a one man synth project from Lativa called Starpliktuve. An broken beat acid banger that's sure to get people poppin and locking. The vocal and creeping pads cloak the track is an intense veil that it works in and out of.

Closing the record is Doctor Gee & Salmz's track 2009. A wonderfully glitched out affair with one of the funkiest god dam leads we ever did hear. Fantastic programming skills are on display here with the producers being able to lead and guide the erratic nature of the lead with passion and precision.

As a taste of the talent coming out of Latvia this is one serious EP.
