Techno Novedades

Repressed on Black Vinyl for 2016.

The second release for Glasgow label Full Dose features two dancehall laced productions from Ayrshire via Kingston by Lucchesi. The Burro EP is uncompromising in approach & heavyweight in sound, reminiscent of The Bug on Rephlex, circa 2003. Vinly only. Single sided 12' with insert.

A/B sides of Taciturn Manner LP
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.

In meteorology, 'Haar' is a coastal fog along certain lands bordering the North Sea.
The first release features Sonitus Eco's vision for the label, shrouded in mist.
Remixes by Dar Dra and Ness. Mastered by Neel @ EnissLab Mastering Studio.
Limited to 300 white/blue marbled 180g vinyl incl. A4 insert.

Following the release of Synkro AKA Joe McBride collection of his formative early works earlier this year, Apollo Recordings is proud to present a brand new EP that draws on the rich heritage of library music. Despite having come up during the dubstep era McBride's music has always resisted easy classification - 'Hand In Hand' sees him shift his musical focus in a yet more cinematic direction. McBride explains : "The record was inspired and influenced by my love of electronic 80's UK library records like the Chappell AV series, Bruton, Soundstage & De Wolfe Music library. There's a lot of synth work that carries on from my album using my trusted Juno-6 / SH101 / JX8P combo with the addition of drum samples via an old akai S2800 I purchased recently. Most sounds I've made from scratch on hardware based on sounds used in the library records I mentioned above along with a few cheeky samples." Synkro's signature expansive atmospherics are still very much present, but now they have been burnished by soaring synth pads and pulsing drum tracks that call to mind the haunted melancholy of John Carpenter or contemporary such as Legowelt or Andy Stott. Rhythmically 'Hand In Hand' sees McBride moving somewhat away from his usual off kilter programming inspired by 2-step and garage, embracing the steady pulse of 4:4 which turns out to be an effortless fit.

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

ISCOS ATO´NICOS proudly presents the label's second release: Age of Aggression by BS-1.
This new record was produced by Dutch veteran Roland van Oorschot aka BS-1 Growing up, he listened to bands like Slayer, Fear Factory and Anthrax, which formed his musical education and continues to impact his productions.

Producing and experimenting since the mid 1990s, van Oorschot has been a long time fixture in the electronic music world. He has created many projects over the years including Funxiun, Utroid and the previously mentioned BS-1.


You can find his unique tracks on various labels including Marguerita Recordings and Gooiland Elektro.
For Discos Ato´nicos he made the Age Of Aggression EP, featuring 5 massive electro cuts that are a straight shot to the dance floor.

On the A-SIDE the tracks Kill Switch, Genetic Waste and Age Of Aggression, combine intergalac- tically distorted beats with industrial elements.
We hear dark atmospheres, dystopian lyrics and metallic snares sharp like knives.
On the B-SIDE, Fear of a Dead Planet serves brutal electro while Eternal Oblivion surprisingly slows down the pitch and ends the amazing journey in form of a sweet electronic ballade.

FJAAK relaunch their label with their remix and remaster of Missing Channel's Onslaught (Robert Hood & Claude Young).

SPANDAU X DETROIT! The German trio take on a tune from Hood and Young's '90s collaboration, backed up with a 2018 remaster of the original.

Firmly believing against starting a label just for the sake of having a label, Cubera labelhead Kyle Geiger waited to have a specific vision and concept for it before doing so. After almost two years of creating, refining, and revisiting projects for Cubera, Kyle Gei- ger (Drumcode, Perc Trax, Droid, & MB Elektronics) has carefully crafted a series of productions that carry the melodic presence of the deeper techno sound, while still maintaining the teeth needed for peak hours of the night

Maurizio Cascella debuts on Love Blast Records with a 2 track EP, Violet Capsule .
Well known for his past productions on Elettronica Romana together with such names as Giorgio Gigli, Dino Sabatini and Donato Dozzy he s a founder of the roman techno scene.
In his new release Cascella propose his concept of techno: catchy, dubby and groovy with a mental hypnotic touch, developed in long efforts, taking you to the darkest side of the dancefloor.

Marking 20 years of Prurient and Hospital Productions' concurrent paths, the epic 3 hr 20 minutes of Rainbow Mirror inarguably ranks among Prurient's most compelling statements. While still the blood child of Dominick Fernow, the album's massive scope demanded more hands on board, with Jim Mroz (Lussuria) and Matt Folden (Dual Action) lending their expertise before post-production by Shifted and mastering by Paul Corley cemented this towering work of Doom Electronics for the ages.

Offered up as 'a portrait in perpetual tension', and housed in cover art created as the first collage in the pre-recording era of Prurient, Rainbow Mirror draws on the project's roots in order to locate itself in the modern day. What it finds in the process is that little has changed since Prurient and Hospital Productions' conception in '97 - the world is still a torrid, evil mess beyond control, and one that needs notions like Prurient to try and define its heaving mass more than ever.

Like Frozen Niagara Falls before it, echoes of the old world riddle the long, stark corridors of Rainbow Mirror, too. But here those echoes are more fragmented, distant and entropically obfuscated, emulating the effect of trying to find your own image in a hall of mirrors, or locating yourself drowning amid the clamour of more than 3 billion other people online, all saying the same, mundane shit at the same time.

With a length and intensity proportionately reflective of the world's increasing socio-political tension and rate of homogeneity, Rainbow Mirror holds firm as a space to immolate the senses in preparation for the ever nearing eschaton.

'Travelog' was the third EP released by Mat Steel and Mark Fell as SND, arriving in 1999 just before the release of their influential debut album 'Makesnd Cassette' on the Mille Plateaux label. Of the three EP reissues in the series, 'Travelog' contains the most developed and satisfying work from the pair, edging their reduced production palette into more fully-realised dimensions, colouring-in those instantly recognisable bass notes and isolated percussive elements with a slow, sublime trickle of melody.The 6 extra tracks included are indispensable - extending the original EP into an hour of mesmerising, slowly immersive rhythmic pulses that still sound pretty much unlike anything you'll have heard before - a perfect bridge between House, Techno and UKG re-imagined within a stripped structure that should act as a masterclass for a new school of producers trying to balance-out rhythmic complexity with space.The opening 'A1' encapsulates this asymmetry brilliantly, bare swing and shuffle riding chiming chords that add warmth and space to an already intoxicating blueprint, while A3 takes those same elements and sharpens them into a slow, undulating alignment bolstered by that immaculate mastering treatment from Rashad Becker. 'B3' takes things deeper - a slow percussive edit slowly drowned-out by a growling analogue drone, while the closing side joins the dots between this EP series and that trio of albums for Mille Plateaux that would soon establish SND as the most forward-thinking and still resolutely original producers from an otherwise largely-forgotten musical era.

Part two from a new series called Soul of the Automaton.

Strictly for connoisseurs .....selected and hard to find cuts from Steve O'Sullivan's legendary 90's bluetrain imprint. Remastered from the original tapes and pressed on heavyweight vinyl.

Just over a year ago Cassy embarked on her largest and most personal project yet, her debut solo album 'Donna', released on revered imprint AUS Music. Since then, Cassy has put out a string of remixes on Powerplant, Turbo, Echoe and Watergate, plus a track on Muna's latest VA. Throughout this period, Cassy has also been in the studio working on new material, the first of which to be released in September, and is titled 'Cassy 004'.

As the title infers, Cassy is reawakening her self-titled imprint she created in 2006, and has had three previous releases until now. With no plan or set schedule, the remit was simply to release her own records, when the time is right, and the quality is high. The music always reflected the quirkier side to Cassy's club tastes.

And 004 continue in this vein. It perfectly encapsulates the sleek and hypnotic sounds of the harder end of her DJ sets. The tracks are titled 'One' and 'Two', with Cassy giving 'One' a reshape to round off a trio of cuts aimed at the dancefloor.

This is the second release from London duo Dark Circles on their own DC Trax Label. The first release was given play on Radio 1's George Fitzgerald show and supported by the likes of Erol Alkan, Skream, Justin Robertson and Eric Duncan. Dc Trax 2 sees the first release given the remix treatment by an armoury of heavyweight remixers. Phantasy records' Kamera provides a tuff techno work out of Y, Emperor Machine takes inpiration from his old Bizarre Inc guise and making use of his old MPC, takes March back to the 90's raves. The Package is finished off by Lord of the Isles tripping out The Well in 2 strong remixes. This will be a limited vinyl release in February which has already earned a play on 2manydjs' Beats 1 radio show '2x2'.

It feels like a long time since the last Contort Yourself, addiction will make time drag. Fear not, the peddlers of filth are back with a quintet of past profanity and new nastiness. Unknown Precept's Eindkrak serves up a grease dripping, ball bearing filled dish of Shawarma. After the entre comes a 90s treat. Kirlian Camera's Angelo Bergamini's side project with Celestino Pes under the name Andromeda Complex. Here the partnership offer the drums flailing beast that is The Servant (Extract), tongue lolling, eyes bulging techno brutalism from 1994. 4 sees GDL collide claps and low level bass line abuse as a thick haze gathers. On the flip. L.I.E.S. and Secret Studio scavengers, Circling Vultures are savagely Feasting on the Caucus of the Fallen Divine King before Bunker back row bully Klankman twists his knife into The Servant. Your latest dose of mean musical medicine has been served.

One of the undiscovered gems of the Chicago underground. Includes the '90 classic 'Midnight Dancin'.
VERY LIMITED - FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED - act now!

Blackrod proudly announce its second release. The quality techno music included on BLACKROD002 is provided by the Italian born MTD. On the remix side two dutch guys, the TWR72 formation show how do they think about techno.

Nicola Belligoli aka MTD was born in Mantua in 1986, after several years of interest in electronic music, particularly in techno, and after experiencing the production world, he decides to open his own label together with its historic partner Tracy.
In the winter between 2010 and 2011 Sonntag Morgen comes to life, initially only with digital releases and then also on wax. Now in its five year it counts more than 50 releases on digital and 8 on vinyl.

With the launch of the label MTD finds room to exhibit the best of his idea of Techno. Hypnotic and rough sounds influenced by dub and experimental moods, he never stop to research and experiment new sounds or new technic. This will eventually lead him to collaborate with many Italian and international labels.
Today in his discography we can find a large variety of works supported by numerous artists of the international music scene.

Label head Nick Beringer spices up these grey days with Rubisco's third release entitled Slope & Dip, containing three reduced house jams.

A breakthrough artist who has had a massive 2017 to date, Or:la returns to Hotflush with three new tracks and a remix of Limbosoup (from her debut Hotflush EP last year) by Detroit's FIT Siegel. Following the launch of her own label, Deep Sea Frequency, and a standout Boiler Room appearance, this new batch of fresh material cements Or:la's position in the UK underground. Taking cues from influences ranging from classic jungle to post-dubstep, Farewell 24 offers more evidence as to why so many have tipped the Derry producer for great things. And to round things off, we are very excited to include a razor sharp remix from the one and only FIT Siegel, one of our absolute US favourites.

"I'm going to try not to gush too much about the fact that 'Me Me Me' has Raj Pannu's first ever record, but you have to understand that he's DJ royalty to someone from where I come from.
From his residencies in Newcastle in the Early 90s, touring all over Europe, playing with the likes of Gilles Peterson, Jazzanova and James Lavelle to his move into turntablism in the late 90s playing one on one with DJ Craze, A-Trak and Q-Bert.
All the way up to the last decade and his time spent touring the world for 5 years as part of Coldcut, working with institutions like the BBC and Ninja Tune, and just generally being an absolutely mind bending DJ playing with people from all over the spectrum, such as Richie Hawtin, DJ Kentaro, Jamie Lidell, Kode9 and more....
and now he's decided to release his first record... With Us!
As you can imagine for someone with such a varied musical background, FSOP is hard to pin down. I played it to a friend and they said it sounded like Photek covering Pink Floyd, which is the closest approximation I've heard of it, I guess.
It's techno, but steppy, and super musical, and dark, but uplifting. Above all, it's just really special.I couldn't not give the record a full side to itself, and for the remix we've found the perfect pairing with an interpretation from Cosmin TRG (who I met at a festival, and who I instantly hit it off with after finding our shared love of Guiness and Sarcasm).
Cosmin chokes out all of the light with a cut of raw, skittering Paranoid Techno. Providing the ideal balance for both sides of the record.
Raj has also provided us with a Dub Mix which we're releasing as a digital exclusive.
The dub narrows the dancefloor focus, without losing the drama of the OG.
Reading this, you can probably tell how excited I am about this record."

Tel Aviv based two man project TV.OUT has been making a name for themselves these last years putting on impressive live sets, djing around the world, and running their Paralaxx imprint releasing various strains of rugged, well informed electronic music.
.
On their debut for L.I.E.S. we get a smoking three tracker spanning styles that would not seem out of the place being played on the West Coast of Den Hague in the late-90s. Think early Legowelt meets Coca Disco meeting heavier techno sounds as a starting point. Club gear for the gearheads.

Clear & Solid Purple Mixed Vinyl
Five different moods from five different minds. The first various artist compilation features five gems that will provide pleasure infinitely!

R&S founder Renaat Vandepapeliere launches a new series RV Trax, to reflect the sound of his DJ sets.
Re-invigorated and inspired by contemporary dance floor sounds, after 30+ years as the label owner and figurehead Renaat succumbed to the temptation to finally, at the tender age of 60, try his own hand at rocking the crowd.
Renaat's sets have seen him assemble a treasure trove of unreleased music that will now find a very personal home on RV Trax. Emblazoned with the Belgian national colours of black, yellow and red these tracks proudly flaunt their 'floor-filling dynamics. The first, a dance floor stormer from Steve Legget, remixing fellow North Easterners Bird Of Paradise's original - a tight punchy workout that pairs distorted 909 kicks against a high tension string part and melancholic synth pads. G-Prod (AKA French brothers David and Nicolas Gaugain) provide a balmy, motor-city style number - shuffling drums underpin sunrise synth washes and euphoric melodies. Buenos Ayres' Hermetics provide a frostier mood with 'Collider' - chilly FM bells pinned against serrated percussion and swirling distortion.

Mysterious new outfit Glasstalk Records start as they mean to go on with their debut release, showcasing some heavy-hitting techno from Kettering via Leeds upstart, Wilhelm. At the ripe age of 21 and with only one release to his name prior to 38thParallel, this producer has already attracted a lot of support from a stellar cast of tastemakers including Bruce, Midland, Batu, Avalon Emerson, Tasker and A Made Up Sound as well as landing recent radio plays from the likes of Skream, B. Traits, Moxie, George Fitzgerald, Batu and Via Maris.

Wilhelm kicks off the EP with the haunting 'Our World.' This dancefloor heater is jam packed with frenetic percussion, overtly time-stretched whispers and ambient samples of mechanical scrapings. Next up is the title track of 38thParallel EP, a distinctly more off-kilter affair than its predecessor due to its quick-fire drum patterns. Rounding off the release is 'Assignment,' which was quite literally made as an assignment for the producer's university course! This slowed techno roller would be perfect as a set opener.

repressed !

Cellaa Music is proud to present release number 19 with Dennis Cruz & Luliano Mambo. It was obvious then, not to have this young, driven talented artists on board is not an option, they are a gem! Get ready for some colossal dancefloor tech-house heat!

After amazing releases on Insert Coin and Mushroom Smile, Dennis & Luliano lands on Cellaa Music with a smashing ep titled LSD'. Enjoy the hot percussions and the fresh flavors in the three tracks they are proposing you, and put them into your bag. This groove is irresitable!

The Remix comes from Label Head Martin Heyder who totally stick to the vibe yet give it different edges. His Version is deep but is always on point to please the crowd, and rock the Dancefloor...

We hope you enjoy the music!

Granny13 opens with Nicola Ratti's 'Odd Doubt'. With the use of a modular system and tape loops, a broken rhythm is obtained by parallelism between single sound signals as LFO one or processed tapes.On the second side, Giovanni Lami's 'Johnny Leech' is made with a small bunch of equipment, just a chaotic hand-made synth (cacophonator) and a memoryman, working mainly on static electricity and leakage current in the synth used without any kind of power supply.

Reviews

The Wire
''Two Italian mucisians share a split single of glitchy fun and everyone goes some happy. Lami s piece uses a defective unplugged synthesizer to make huzzing chitters that have a kind of rhythm in spots. Ratti s contribution is a bit more structured it sounds like a record of accordion miniatures broken into pieces, then glued back together with little pieces of felt stuck onto it. Which would definitely be a pretty hep thing to hear.''

Textura
''Some releases qualify as art objects as much as musical collections, a case in point this recent seven-inch vinyl outing featuring material by Nicola Ratti on one side and Giovanni Lami on the other. That shouldn't be interpreted to mean that the musical content isn't worthy of one's time, as it assuredly is, but more to emphasize how striking the sleeve artwork by Opora is and how effectively it complements the musical content.Mastered by Giuseppe Ielasi and issued in an edition of 150 copies, the release opens with Odd Doubt, a concise experimental setting by the Milan-born Ratti, who's issued material on labels such as Anticipate, Preservation, Die Schachtel, and Entr'acte and who's presently working with Ielasi in the project Bellows, with Attila Faravelli as Faravelliratti, and with Enrico Malatesta and Faravelli in ~Tilde. Though Ratti started out as a guitar player, his current focus is more on beat-analog experimentation and sound installation. In Odd Doubt, Ratti's modular system and tape loops generate broken rhythms that varyingly call to mind dub-techno, even if dub-techno of an extremely wonky variety. Off-beat chords, crackle, and snare strikes add to the dubwise flavour of the material, though ultimately it registers as more of an experimental exploration than straight-up dub exercise.The flip side features Johnny Leech by Lami, a one-time photographer now known as both a field recordist and a musician focusing on soundscaping and sound-ecology. In his contribution to the seven-inch, Lami's chaotic hand-made synth (cacophonator) and memoryman give birth to blustery smears of static electricity that ultimately mutate into an Oval-like array of ripples and scratches. Johnny Leech is so removed from anything conventionally musical, it makes Odd Doubt sound like a Top 40 pop song. Like Ratti's piece, Lami's is short, so short, in fact, it gives the impression of being an excerpt from a larger sound art work. Here's a release where the abstract nature of the musical content matches its visual presentation.December 2014''

Vital Weekly 951
''Granny Records is from Greece, but the two musicians here are from Italy, of which I don't I heard from Giovanni Lami before. His piece is called 'Johnny Leech' and he uses a hand-made synth known as the cacophonator and a memory man (a delay machine), 'working mainly on static electricity and leakage current in the synth used without any kind of power supply'. It makes up for a nice piece of chaotic lo-fi sound, which is put forward through methods of improvisation. Quite a nice piece and it fits the format very well. The crackling of vinyl surely adds an extra layer. Nicola Ratti uses a modular synth and tape loops, of what seems to be percussive material, but the rhythm is broken down and the whole thing has a nice gentle feel to it, even when it bumps, clicks and glides, but the synth makes it more subtle. Here too one could say this perfect for a 7": one doesn't have the idea that this is cut from a longer part as is not unusual with this kind music. Especially Ratti seems to have worked out his music as a composition, which is very nice.

Pinkman welcomes Maenad Veyl to its roster of artists for his debut release in the form of the labels second tape. 'Make Them Remember' sets the gloomy mood with clattering percussion and ghostly synth lines. The messy drum patterns of Taiko Death Rhythm' are breaking up the cold mist. The A-side of the cassette is completed by the melodic slow burning energy of 'D.M.M.R.M'. On the other side 'State ov Apprehension' and 'Sotto Gli Occhi Tutti' further darken the character, to then pave way for 'In Ruins' to finish the damage with it's ethereal, yet soul ripping guitar riffs. *** Digital download code included ***

Samuel van Dijk is an electronic music producer, sound designer and media artist from the Netherlands releasing deep electronic music as VC-118A, Mohlao, and Multicast Dynamics. Drawing inspiration from technology, nature, film, and fiction, his productions and live sets embody a dynamic musical framework. Since the Dutchman surfaced as Mohlao for labels like Meanwhile, Field and Other Heights at the turn of the decade, van Dijks music has found a firm position; the ethereal electro VC-118A project, deep ambient techno as Mohlao, and subterranean ambient as Multicast Dynamics.

The Blink single is a labour of love spanning over 2 years evolving from Reshape's Live Series. The 'Tunnel mix' takes its title from being road tested at the now closed Tunnel Club in Paris and both tracks are a homage to early UK and Detroit techno which Redshape holds fond memories of from his youth.

After exploring Georgian soundscapes, the Intergalactic Research Institute for Sound is honored to reissue Stanislav Tolkachev's Blue Mood. First released on Aftertaste Recordings in 2008, this masterpiece is in the Institute's opinion one of the most impressive work of the Ukrainian artist.
For the occasion, Stanislav created the artwork for the record in order to complement or maybe represent an idea behind the release. The Institute plans to ask artists to deliver also a visual on top of their sound communication on the label. Limited copies of Blue Mood will include a photography of Tolkachev's artwork.
Absolute Limit, which finds itself on the B side, is a brand new track by Tolkachev. As usual he delves deeper into abstract and distorted techno, delivering a truly mental cut.

Mastered and cut by Rashad Becker at Dubplates & Mastering in Berlin.

Hana's first and self-titled LP was recorded in Autumn 2010 at Facta non Verba and consists out of 5 tracks which are techno oriented with disposal of experimental and abstract elements.

Reviews

OMG Vinyl
Hana s S/T LP is easily the best promo records we ve gotten in months. This Greek duo has somehow, almost entirely below the radar, released one of the most exciting electronic records of 2011. Their wobbly brand of techno sometimes chugs ahead at full-speed, other times easing back into a wider waver, almost resembling some weird, warped IDM. I will be shocked if this record doesn t get wider appreciation very soon. Whether that happens or not, we fully recommend it, track one down.

Cyclic Defrost by Oliver Laing
Granny Records duo Hana come correct with their first album, offering a refreshing take on techno and IDM variants in the vein of Jan Jelinek, Raime, Actress and hints of the mighty Chain Reaction label. Mastered at Berlin s Dubplates and Mastering by none other than Rashad Becker, a name that often appears in the run-out groove of artists who inhabit a curiously funky techno-not-techno netherworld Hana s debut self-titled release grows in stature and listening enjoyment with every spin. With a sense of fun and adventure inhabiting the grooves, Hana (who are also part of label-mates, Good Luck Mr Gorsky), explore experimental timbres and ghostly vocalisations with a lightness of touch that belies their recording credentials.

Starting off with an abstract, Clicks and Cuts style intro, Liv slowly finds the sweet spot between mutant Detroit electro funk, a hint of the indie/dance territory of Matthew Dear and the abstract, yet rhythmic 12 releases on the Beatservice label, by Norwegian duo Information from the mid 90s. Obermaier implies the groove to begin with, until a wrong-footed man-with-two-left-feet rhythm leads into minimal acidic flourishes. Album opener SM heads in a Ricardo Villalobos vs. Nonplace Urban Field direction, as the lopsided rhythm and sepulchral vocals add a haunted edge to proceedings. CR80 uses beautifully syncopated live drums and urgent female vocals, and adds a driving, belligerent synth riff falling somewhere in between DMZ and Gary Numan. Echoic, boingy sounds threaten to derail the beat, but somehow it manages to maintain, reminding me of Shed and A Made Up Sound; more in overall feel than in the specific sounds. For those that enjoy abstract electronics that work just as well on headphones as on the dance floor, Greece s Hana are a duo to watch.

Textura
Hana's self-titled debut album arrives saddled with a (literally) cheeky front cover one would more associate with a 70s band like Wild Cherry than a Greece-based techno outfit formed in Thessaloniki last summer. Recorded in fall 2010 at Facta non Verba, the five-cut release finds Good Luck Mr Gorsky members Thanasis Papadopoulos and Thanos Bantis hunkered down in their chemical lab concocting formulae to go along with their material's stripped-down techno beats. Using analogue synths, samplers, and sequencers, the duo brings a decidely experimental edge to their productions, sprinkling as they do liberal doses of burble and flutter over bass-heavy techno rhythms.
The opening track, Sm, sets the scene with a heavy low-end pulse thudding alongside a steady kick drum and joined by acidy synths and percussive effects that suggest a lighter being repeatedly flicked open. On a slightly more aggressive tip, the B-side's Cr80 adds truncated vocal yelps to its bleepy, elephantine throb. A dubby dimension emerges in the track, too, when echoing waves drift repeatedly across the huge bass that slithers across the track's underbelly. The album's most elaborate track comes last. Liv opens beatlessly with flickering shudders and what could pass for the amplified workings of an ant community but then progressively fills in the dots with an insistent beat pattern, voice fragments, and even the demented meander of accordion playing. Though Hana hardly rewrites the techno guidebook on the release, it's nevertheless a pleasurable listen, in part due to the multi-dimensional experience provided by the vinyl format and the always superb mastering work done by Rashad Becker at Berlin's Dubplates & Mastering.

As Huntleys + Palmers events has drawn to a close, 2018 will see a big focus in releasing some brilliant new music and introducing some amazing new artists. First up is Wheelman - straight out of Glasgow and fresh off the back of his debut for our Studio Barnhus buddies. To our shame, it took a Kornel Kovacs trip to Rubadub to bring to our attention a real talent who was under our now the whole time! He'd even been to a bunch of our parties and we'd never made the connection..Righting this wrong, we promptly hit him up for music to include on a 'Clyde Built' compilation and they were so good, we designated the bulk of these tracks to this release - 5 absolute BELTERS!

Time has come: Asymptote duo, owner of the label, makes its debut with its first ever release.

SAV004, Behind The Scene Ep, is the result of a driving combination between old and new school elements, aimed at the big floor.

A side, is darker and deeper, made by two acid and atmospheric techno cuts: Behind the Scene and Chain Reaction.

On the B side, The Traveller is a minimalistic techno trip, with Millsian reminiscences.

Plastic City instead, with its essential sonorities, draws inspiration by the old Detroit school, trying to evolve it and go well beyond.

"The Silent Season 10 Year Anniversary collection celebrates a decade of deeper electronic music. The vinyl series features artists whose music continues to inspire the Silent Season journey.

After Un Reve, second of the trilogy of LPs recorded at studios Davout during the heyday of punk: 'a guided tour through the ruins of a civilisation'; and an evilous, innovative prophesy of electro, industrial, post-rock and noise.

Ron Allen and Hayden Andre are two artist names that some may not be familiar with outside of rare record aficionado circles, but they certainly deserve to have more credit. They crafted some of the most original, fresh, deep and interesting house and techno records to come out of their native Canada. Originally released in 1991, and the first release on their soon to be cult imprint Strobe, 'Metamorphasis' is a strong statement of intent, across six tracks Allen and Andre lay down a plethora of styles ranging from the deepest house sounds to more warehouse leaning bleep style tracks, deep sub bass, dreamy washing pads and taut drum programming are all the order of the day here and boy are we all the better off for it! This is essential stuff for all house and techno lovers out there, the real deal indeed!
The duo, and their label, went on to release numerous other future classics and gems during it's lifespan, some of which will now see the light of day again via a string of fully legit remastered reissues overseen by Ron Allen himself. A long time want by many, often expensive and topping the lists of those 'in the know' 'Metamorphasis' is now available again, as it was originally released way back in '91 with original Strobe artwork intact. Remastered and reissued from directly from Ron's personal source materials it's time these artifacts were made available again for 2017. A truly essential release!

Excellent and precious techno, a bit acid on the corner, basslining the B-sise and ... bringing a superb trancey second B2 track... A big release for this new label !

Galaxies in our universe seem to be achieving an impossible feat. They are rotating with such speed that the gravity generated by their observable matter could not possibly hold them together, they should have torn themselves apart long ago. This leads us to believe that something we cannot see is at work. This strange and unknown matter is called dark matter' since it is not visible.

Dark Matter affects the speed, structure and evolution of everything, yet its nature remains a mystery we are yet to explore. This potent, affecting darkness is paralleled in DeWalta´s newest creation, a double 12 Vinyl release on Amphia.

Another rough one-sider - welcome Mark Deutsche & Musoe !

PARALLAX 06 by PRZ.

Finally here we are with the fourth release on Last Drop Records, signed by the london-based Stavrogin. 'Collectors' takes a more subdued approach from his debut on Australian label 3BS, focusing on ampdriven ambient textures and digital experimentation. 'Sixty Acres' is a juddering mass of static textures and penetrative low-end, forcing itself to a crumbled close. Title track 'Collectors' is something like the afterglow. Weary and destitute, the track stumbles through heatwave-soaked atmospheres, fragmented voices stuttering like a malfunctioning android. 'Are These Actual Miles' is perhaps the most direct, with its tremors of noise punctuated by a rhythmic pulse. This is a feature Italian duo Ichinen have capitalised on in their closing remix, reducing the track to a warbling, dead-eyed drum workout.

Acid and experimental techno... Amiga textures, minimalists and very dancefloor... with crazy structures and syncopated effects... 1 track a side, loud sound.

Anna Reusch returns to the bouq.-family with her third release and two peaktime lifesavers for the summer. A big thanks goes to M.In, Basti Grub and Future Proof for their great remixes.

The fifth album, from 1976, originally out on Cobra. 'Intense, violent, bitter, abrasive, uncompromising prefigurations of Industrial and post-rock. It is easy to understand why Merzbow, Wolf Eyes and Oren Ambarchi all wanted to collaborate. Whilst run-of-the-mill comparisons between Heldon/Pinhas and King Crimson/Fripp are hitherto sustainable, Un Rêve Sans Conséquence Spéciale explosively busts open new ground.'

1° release from this new Label/Project.... The name speak him self... 4 Dub-Techno/House Groovy Deep Tracks with Analog Acid touch...

Early supported By DJ RALF , PIRUPA, Easy to remeber and Many others...

Long time friend of the label Myler finally makes his South London Analogue Material debut with 'Lord of the ASBO'. The EP starts with driving kicks, hypnotic wandering synths and the noisy dissonant stabs of 'Mandem' before taking a more melancholy turn. 'Shutter Windows' slows things down with eerie echoes, dusty thudding kick drums and subtle synths before 'Whiskey & White Women' finishes the last of the originals with a drum track full of trippy percussion and masterful groove. Bad boy Keepsakes is back on the label after SLAM003 and finishes the EP with his take on 'Shutter Windows'.

After previously exhibiting his remixing dexterity on two other occasions, Myles Sergé returns to - made of CONCRETE' to showcase his production chops in a four track EP revealing three originals and one rework.
Firmly rooted in his hometown of Grand Rapids, a city along the legendary Detroit-Chicago axis, Sergé stays true to the musical hallmarks that made history in the scene, sketching up a contemporary soundscape with haunting old school influences. The EP unfolds as a real treasure trove, with each track digging deeper into the realms of dubbed out electronica, while masterfully blurring the lines between house and techno.
Centered around an electric resounding motif, - Rules of Engagement' kicks in with a triangulating synth kept afloat with subtle elements and variations, anchored in a complementing yet discrete bassline.
- Everything In Darkness Comes To Light- revolves around a funky chord progression, making for an unusual house exploration filled with whimpered vocals and eerie rustles.
Aubrey steps in on the remix, offering up a cavernous take on - Rules Of Engagement' by inserting major distortion in the initial synth lead. An array of glitches paired with metallic synths wind up a dynamic countermelody that ultimately takes over the entire groove.
The eponymous - Walking Through Concrete' bounces in with blunt percussion stabs paired with distant claves and clangs, gradually building up the main melodic loop.
The entire release stands as evidence of Sergé's ability to carve melodies into cold and dark concrete-like ambiances, doling out solid slices of groove-infused techno.

Advance 12" of the upcoming Oscar Mulero album 'Perfect Peace', SEMANTICA 70 with some deep electronix!

The fourth LAQ is proudly made by Attic's owner Fabrizio Lapiana. His melodic techno taste is employed into each track moving from hypnotic hard strings of the "Cold In Summer" to the sour and acidic groove of "Acid Smiles" (both on the first side). In the b-side Fabrizio goes into more hypnotic and obsessive sound. A sort of progressive-techno vibes served to people who never-stop dancing.

EarToGround label boss ''Gareth Wild'' comes up with a solo effort for Planet Rhythm. "Warriors In The Dance EP'' consists out of 4 dance floor cuts which all have a somewhat dark approach to them. Nevertheless, Gareth Wild shows his versatility throughout these cuts which span from Percussive to more ominous cuts. All of them contain the same feel for fat textures and dance floor appeal.

Resilience, the human capacity to flexibly assume limit situations and overcome them, has a lot to do with Joton and his new sound project for this 2017. In the current national panorama of electronic club music and facing such difficulty, artists are a kind of "modern and resilient heroes" who are constantly in personal and professional struggle to be able to continue progressing in the achievement of their ideas, sounds and dreams.

Joton faces his immediate future by showing his purest and analogical side; Returning, once again, to the primitive, to the seminal, to the roots of techno. Always in search of his truth. His maturity, and marked personality while producing, make it a real resilient, which is nothing more than a resident of the world that has made resilience a way of life, an artistic expression and technoid.

'R3silient' lists a trilogy. It will be substantiated through the publication of three vinyls that will see the light throughout this 2017. They will contain original songs by Joton and remixes of artists related to their sound. All this, of course, in three vinyls that all together will make us discover something new, a hallucinating synergy. It is, without a doubt, his most ambitious, resistant and powerful project.

The sound of Joton in this 2017 is industrial, analogical, mechanical, futuristic and sensitive. Dystopia and the club are discussed. Detroit, Berlin and Birmingham. Starting from the very marrow of techno. It is physical, blunt, modular and exciting.

Leyla's 'Parallels & Influences EP' brings together Mondkopf, Positive Centre, Codex Empire & Yuji Kondo for an assaulting 4 tracks of power infused and industrial strength techno.
Mondkopf starts things roling with militaristic snare rolls and off-kilter analog synthesis into a climatic fervor of dystopian scene-scaping. This then is followed upu energetically by the pounding pressure and liquid 303 squelches of Positive Centre's 'Rub'. Crushed out cymbals battle against booming sub bass as a foghorn call rides high above the tempestuous patterns.
Codex Empire's 'Hessdalen' is as slick and detailed as it is ruff and raw. Huge sweeping backgrounds with intense high end percussion lick over a stomping, staggered kick pattern. Yuji Kondo (one half of the excellent Steven Porter project with Katsunori Sawa) brings things to a close with 'Whip Blow'. Bringing his signature refusal for traditional percussion sources - this peaking track pits high level technicality against deeply hypnotic and brooding rhythm.

Drec Recordings is a record-label from Magdeburg run by Patrick Dre, releasing music between techno, and electronica.

ART present another landmark classic in Electronic Music history. Originally released on Stefan Robbers' Eevo-Lute label in 1993, Ross 154 aka Jochem Peteri - now best known for his productions as Newworldaquarium - released four tracks of deep, dark, mysterious hybrid techno interspersed with four delicate ambient interludes. Jochem recalls 'we went down to Eindhoven to record at Stefan's studio which was at his parent's place. Actually, we all still lived with our parents.' The recording was lucky to survive as Jochem remembers 'about halfway through recording, all power went off because his mom was frying us some snacks and the deep-fryer short-fused!'
Thankfully recording continued. Jochem describes it as a summary of all the musical influences he grew up with including Schoolly D, Loose Ends and even some 'Duran Duran synth melancholia'. Jochem was also digesting 'new UK sounds like Kirk Degiorgio and B12 plus the big American sounds of the Belleville Three (the Kevin Sanderson produced Mia Hesterley track 'Spark' patricularly comes to mind) and early second generation Detroit stuff like Psyche and Dark Comedy' (Carl Craig and Kenny Larkin respectively).
Jochem continues 'Meeting Stefan and Wladimir (Stefan Robbers and Wladimir Manshanden - co-founders of Eevo-Lute) changed it all for me, They gave the whole thing a unique Dutch synth-wave spin.' Interestingly, he concludes: 'the Fragments EP to me feels like a homage to the great shoulders we stand on today, An amazing legacy which I love and hate in equal amounts.' One thing is for sure - the Fragments EP stands the test of time and remains one of the most sought-after pieces of vinyl from this essential formative era in European Techno. Re-issued and carefully remastered under the care of ART Records owner Kirk Degiorgio, Ross 154 finally gets to be available for the new generation of listeners it deserves.

First reissue of Teersom's two part 12" series of grainy, tunnel-visioned psychedelic techno from 2013 released on Helsinki's Keys of Life. "Sun" cuts through the full A-side as a shuffled, dark and machine working chugger. The B-side's "Orb" raises pressure and punch, with more prominent white noise and low rolling sub bass complementing almost staggering hihats.

Lithuanian artist Gardens of God has been gradually furrowing his way into the limelight with stand out releases and a unique musical style. 'Montana' is his latest package on Ellum featuring two captivating cuts of modern electronica polished with a dark, techno edge.The deep, grumbling pads in 'Montana' commence a journey through melancholic melodies, intricate textures and a pulsating core beat. Techno bomb 'Under' spikes the backbone in a powerful, warming bassline, structured within melodic keys, subtle shakes and detailed percussion.
Gardens Of God has had a groundbreaking eighteen months. Releases on Maceo Plex's Ellum, chart topping remixes and stand out EP's in the shape of 'Gluk' & 'Zulu' have cemented the producer as one of the strongest emerging artists in the electronic music scene today.
Selected as the first artist to feature on BBC Radio 1's Future 12 series with five DJ mixes appearing on Friday nights over as many weeks. Like his mixes, the production also delivers a mature and accomplished sound, weaving between house, techno and electronica.

To progress towards a civilization which does not unconsciously perpetuate or aggravate inequality and poverty, we need to accept our many differences. For those who prefer uniformity or others who would rather avoid proximity, the celebration of diversity might sound ridiculous.
A certain measure of discomfort is required to reach compassion. But peace through diversity is no prophet's fantasy. It is no harder to imagine than the magical fact that we are alive right now.
The eternal act of dancing is one of the most active form of contemplation. Facing our own selves in the mirror of movement, we realize that we indeed are reflections of one another at all times. What will our own actions and thoughts feed around us
With over 30 years of combined dancefloor experience, Possible Futures have been witnesses to the wildest fauna and flora the great nocturnal jungle has to offer.

The first two cuts come from the grooves of Argentine old hand Leonel, a family friend of long date. 'Antares' and 'Bunda' drag their dusty trails across different genres, to be enjoyed at 45 rotations per minute. Curative properties guaranteed.

Delivering us the nineteenth edition of Balans Records is Benny Rodrigues aka ROD, a well-versed and talented producer who has had a strong relationship with the Dutch label and its owner after releasing its fourth release back in 2011.

Opening the EP is '3yr', a mellow track that steadily climbs into a euphoric blend of dub-inspired chords and refined symbols to form an elegant composition. Taking an unexpected turn, 'Float' is reminiscent of a nostalgic voyage Eastbound into the unknown as a traditional flute whistles a techno lullaby.

On the flipside, 'Kloduba's composition cleverly corresponds with '3yr' as its gentle patterns gradually develop to harmonize together. To close out the EP 'Lego' engages the listener as the sounds of watery blips enthusiastically scatter throughout. This four-tracker finds itself a perfect home in the Balans collection, filled with masterly Dutch artists taking a stab at timeless techno tracks.

Roman Poncet returns to Figure with another batch of deadly efficient tools featuring four productions in his stripped-back signature style. Opener Vicious sets the stage with a snappy and muscular breakbeat holding the rhythm down tightly until creeping synths reveal the track's true, eery intentions. Marguerite is more welcoming, with gentle percussion and dubbed out chords making for a loop that could go on forever. The B-side is another example of skillfully sculpting sounds both lean and powerful. On Atome I ricocheting synth echoes and fine layers of percussion sway back and forth until they collapse into an extended atmospheric breakdown. Starting out reduced to its very nucleus, the second version slowly lets an electrifying tension fill the blank spaces. Comprising a set of bare-bone grooves as slick as they are powerfully moving, Roman Poncet delivers another EP in true Figure fashion that is sure to stay in the bag for a long time.

Bucharest's Romansoff brings post-industrial heat on Sportiv002. With previous releases on Creme Organisation, Mörk and his own Raw Tools, Tudor cranks it to 11 and does crunchy, saturated beats under a killer analog riff on Colonial Past. Bodylock on the flip is equally intense but chooses a more stone-cold approach. Gripping, energetic material from a country at peak creativity. Sportiv is a dexterous white label operation that brings you heavy-weight rhythmic performances from the world of techno athletics.

Following his widely celebrated Macro Habitat EP of last year, Santos returns to Dissonant to deliver another three tracks, laying down detailed rhythms that shimmer with the infectious energy in which the man has made his twenty-year career on. 'Garlic' is a roving thrill-ride that hangs on to the commanding groove as it whips through a dense landscape of sound, constantly moving forward with an energy that speaks to primal instincts. That leaves it to 'Invisible' to get deep in the dub, letting masterfully handled delay and reverb pulse out a spiritually enriching techno mantra. 'Cable' takes a different approach, weaving some colour into the mix. The rolling beat flirts with playful swathes of synthesizer and samples for a wonderfully trippy end result that delights the mind, just as it moves the body.

For its first release, Rapid Eye Movement gives voice to VII Circle who sign with 'Archetype' an inaugural powerful and exquisitely crafted EP for the imprint.
The EP, to be issued in October 2017 in both vinyl and digital versions, features three original tracks as well as remixes composed by no less than Dutch techno wizard Keith Carnal and Belgian arising talent Farrago.
Opening the journey, the title track and 'Alpha' exemplify the Italian duo's maturing and sophisticated signature, whose master ingredients are a compelling and obscure-minded groove nurtured by the layering of deep, immersive and melodic waves of arpeggios and punctuated by dramatic and atmospheric breakdowns. Following the path in an ambient-like and ethereal mode, 'Nobody can escape from himself' develops strong and haunting cinematic textures which give an epic climax to the ensemble.
For its interpretation, Keith Carnal sets the tone with an energetic approach of this spacey gem, stamped by massive and catchy basses without neglecting to stay true - or rather to magnify - the strong emotional and cosmic aura of the original piece.
Stepping up on reworking duties, Farrago first delivers an 'Alpha' version which enhances its out of space and out of time spirit with trippy flavors and then ends the pack, in a banging and uncompromised manner, with a raw and pumping techno energy which echo the buoyant force of the underground. Deep into tribal darkness, but without falling with despair into sadness.
Five weapons of electronic mastery which display a captivating and emotional dancefloor-orientated odyssey, to be savoured in the intimacy of its own soul or to be shared with nightclubbing fellows.

Currently undertaking a residency at the prestigious EMS Stockholm, Egyptian producer Ahmed El Ghazoly makes a stunning 2nd mark on Lee Gamble's UIQ label with Numbers, a ruggedly chopped but spatially hypersensitive suite of encrypted electronic rhythms and entrancing, mirage-like geometries.
Boldly committed to his own niche between the folds of grime, techno and electro-acoustic dimensions, Zuli's follow-up to the Bionic Ahmed EP pushes it's loping designs into stranger, spaces within the sound field, finding an idiosyncratic ecology of frequency that finds room for dense, physical subbass, smeared vocals and iridescent motifs amid its morphing dimensions.
The six tracks exemplify Zuli's playfully paradoxical approach to club music, experimenting with tessellating dry and fluid textures in the dusty, humid London-via-Cairo swerve of Bow which cranks opens the EP, to the metastable techno momentum in the buckling rolige of CommProto, while She's Hearing Voices feels like a smoking area between rooms, heard in a queasy but spangled state.
That all feels like preparation for the second wind of the B-side, which convulses into action with the chromatic trance warp of What You Do and its grubbing Autechrian inversion, Tongue Chomper, only to slide off the page in Foam Home's future primordial glob of melted dancehall.
The hooks may be less explicit or tangible here than on his debut EP, but Numbers is proof, if it were needed, of a restless mind which is only just coming into its own.

London-based producer Cera Alba pairs up with vocalist Zahra for a pair of tough tracks on Jamie Jones' Hottrax this June featuring a remix from Stockholm's Tiger Stripes.
Since his humble beginnings several years ago the Newcastle-born artist has cemented a reputation for consistency, with releases appearing on the likes of Hot Creations, Moon Harbour, VIVa MUSiC,
Avotre, Madtech and Gruuv. As a DJ he's been making regular appearances across Europe, including venues such as Watergate Berlin, Sankeys Ibiza, Brixton Academy London, not to mention festivals such as Hideout.
'Taking Over Me' is a dark and moody roller from the get-go. Robust drums and mesmerizing atmospherics form its basis whilst Zahra's soulful vocals and a cavernous low-end rumbles throughout to its rhythm as a piercing vocal and metallic elements ebb in and out of the mix. Tiger Stripes then provides a crunchy remix of 'Taking Over Me', distorting Zahra's vocals whilst incorporating tantalizing synths into his own stomping rendition.

For their next EP, Moon Harbour welcome back Daniel Stefanik - an artist who has been a core part of the family since 2005.

Stefanik is known as a master of intricate grooves, subtle sound design and compelling cuts that really get under your skin. He has put out four albums and countless EPs on labels such as Cocoon and Raum, and also co-runs the Dambala Experience label.

As well as serving up one vinyl exclusive, this EP features a fully licensed cover-version of Hardrive's classic 'Deep Inside,' which originally started as an edit Daniel made last year, but has since found its way into some key DJ sets and become quite in demand.

That track, still called 'Deep Inside', is a fantastically writhing monster with kicking drums, bounce in its bones and anthemic appeal in the classic cut-up vocal cries. Driving but party-starting, it is a surefire way to ignite any dance floor and it only grows more unhinged as it unfolds.

The excellent and vinyl only exclusive 'Another Year' is more stripped back but just as loose and fluid. Constructed from layers of vocal yelps, tumbling percussion and loopy sub bass, it all adds up to a supple yet wild jam that makes you want to cut some fancy shapes.

This is an easy to love EP that features two essential dance floor bombs.

Musician, journalist, radio host. In his works he is looking for a balance between the corporeal and the contemplative aspects of music. Sound induced by him can be described as something between techno, deep techno and dub techno, under a deep impact of broadly although not always explicitly understood ambient.

Miss Jools finally steps inside with her deep and groovy signature sound with her first EP on Sol Asylum with a remix from Dana Ruh. We instantly fell in love with Stepping Inside," this beautifully crafted atmospheric groover is destined to be a timeless gem. Followed by Dana Ruh's swingy reinterpretati that is finely crafted for the dance floor while still keeping it's original sophistication. We are definitely not sorry to have this spaced out deep roller with a nice melodic surprise in the middle titled Sorry Not Sorry.' Then wrapping this package beautifully together is 444 Marjorie' a more classical approach to deep house but always with a modern twist with a dedication to someone very special to Jools.

Molecule returns with a new odyssey both physical and musical. Following the success of 60°43' Nord, his concept debut played, recorded and mixed on a fishing boat during a 34-day journey in the Atlantic Ocean, the French producer decided this time to take the process further up North and embarked on a voyage to Greenland. Isolated for five weeks in the small Inuit village of Tiniteqilaaq, Romain Delahaye used his 'survival electrokit' to find new sounds in the fjords, the icefields and the hostile yet dazzling landscapes surrounding him. Entirely recorded and mixed in this remoted place, the tracks of -22,7°C range from contemplative ambient atmospheres to more upbeat techno blizzards and accurately translate this epic self-reflective adventure across a land of contrast, its abyssal silences, its immaculate glaciers and its blinding whiteness. With ten previously unheard tracks and very enthusiastic early feedbacks from medias internationally, -22,7°C is set to confirm Molecule's status as a one-of-a-kind producer in today's electro scene.

His pioneering vision across more than two decades of music genres now ranks him as one of the most versatile, in-demand international artists, commanding weekly performances on the house, techno and tech-house global club and festival circuits.

Records is back after a slamming support on our first imprint but this time we would like to bring you one of the most talented breakthrough artists of the year from Spain - Enzo Leep & Saul Nieto, delivering us two huge originals - Magnetic Blue Eagle & Odyssey.To complete this bomb vinyl we've invited another Spanish maestro Medu and Argentinian star Alexis Cabrera. Well - balanced, groovy and moving - that's how we would like to describe this EP in a few words.

It moves, it sings. ...but does it swing Anyway, it represents the soundtrack of my life, my musical influences: some San Francisco psychedelia, some London underground, some Berlin school (old & new). Krautrock from Cologne & New York minimalism. A shot of Detroit grit, a bit of Moscow dust, a splash of Paris charm Who knows. Its about daily grind, the passing of time, the change of seasons & relations. Reality & fiction & perception. Biography - back & forth

After great success of Moondance 002, 003 is expected to be no less than great. One of Croatia's finest, Ivan Komlinovic is back with his brand new 4 tracker including The Analog Cops splendid remix. Straight up underground techno-funk filled with different vibes and mindsets that Ivan delivers at Moondance 12" is fragment of his arsenal of raw but warm-analog sounding elements. We are honoured to present "Ninja's Cross" killer cuts that represents Ivan's unique drift between different techno and house vibes.
