After releasing their debut full length Album on Kompakt last year, Hunter/Game return to Just This with another immersive offering.
On the ‚Dead Soul EP' the duo continue to refine their expressive yet subtly arranged sound. The title track unfolds slowly, sculpting the melody, texture and suspense. Joey Anderson's take on 'Dead Soul' is airy and atmospheric without losing it's pulsing flow. ‚Isolation' covers a broad spectrum and is filled with contrasts in which an intense bass interacts with a delicate and breathy melody.
Balance is key to Hunter/Game's music and this EP is no exception.

(pressed in Archer, Detroit) The Kill Zone EP by Jeff Mills. Taken from the recent Free Fall Galaxy album. The 12" contains two previously unreleased tracks.

Echocord returns late June with a new release, Joel Alter under his Jor-El alias, entitled 'Tilted Reality' and comprising three originals from the Swedish artist.
Currently based in Copenhagen, Sweden born producer and DJ Joel Alter is a name synonymous with
the contemporary Techno scene on both his home turf and across the globe, his back catalogue to date features a long player for the Uncanny Valley imprint, solo EP's for D'Julz' Bass Culture, Sweatshop and collaborative works for Kontra Musik alongside Henrik Johnsson amongst much more.
This time round though we see Alter return under his Jor-El guise under which he first started releasing material on DJ Hell's Internation Deejay Gigolo imprint. Up first is title-track 'Tilted Reality' laid out over seven minutes with a slowly unfolding dynamic feel, encompassing spiraling atmospherics, distorted rhythms and blooming stab- sequences.
'Elevation' follows and takes a more direct groove-driven approach via straight four-four percussion and hooky bass chops, whilst tension building pads and fluttering dub echoes gradually build around the foundation.
'Solitude' closes out the package deliving into deeper realms with soft ethereal dub chords, acid tinged leads and emotive strings.

American DJ & producer Eric Estornel AKA Maceo Plex is set to relaunch his old moniker called Mariel Ito in 2018. The mysterious alias was active during the early 2000's and flourished from Estornel's experimentation on electro sounds before he would become known worldwide as Maceo Plex. He delivered a bunch of releases under this moniker during 2005 and 2006 including an EP on Modern Love and an album on SCSI-AV, to name a few.

Estornel will come back with a first Mariel Ito EP in 12 years. This new single titled '2e Komst' will land on January 26th on his fresh imprint Lone Romantic, that he launched with the recent Maceo Plex LP 'Solar' last summer. The EP brings two new tracks 'Sintex49' and 'Dmode90' that illustrates the electro edge of his sound with the recognizable obscure synths and electrifying samples of his productions.

Swedish sound poet Porn Sword Tobacco paints sparkling, intimate soundscapes over intuitive grooves and let them sprawl out over two 12" records full of life. Fresh!

Welcome to the long awaited 5th vinyl output of HueHelix. This time, we focus on Ryuji Takeuchi, who brings 4 versatile 'factors' to complete the 'Renaissance Artistique' EP. Factor A is no doubt the most straight techno style banger, which Ryuji himself has been dropping in a peaktime of his every set at gigs in Berlin, Rotterdam, Osaka and more, that always takes audience to another place. Factor B shows a strong influence from EBM, noise, industrial music, which can be a starter of a set, with mad and strong break before its peaktime. Factor C is for sure the strongest and hardest track in this EP, with high BPM with crazy acid synth melody. Factor D closes the EP with percussive and synthy aspects. This EP really indicates how Ryuji has evolved for his entire career and where he's heading to. Definitely the one not to miss. Please keep your eyes and ears open, HueHelix never stops.

About this release *First 10 tracks only come with the limited edition. Nijmegen's ESHU welcomes co-founder Ivano Tetelepta for his first solo release on the label. It is also the imprint's first full length, but Tetelepta's second album after the hypnotic drum workout that was True Colours, his debut on Fear of Flying in 2012. It comes as a double vinyl release with the first disc being limited, and finds the producer casting himself free from the dance floor and serving up a beautifully atmospheric soundtrack that would be a perfect companion for a nature documentary. When making EPs and 12''s, Tetelepta's smooth and infectious drums are always front and centre in his work, whether solo or as producing with label mates under the ESHU alias. He's also worked with labels like Siena and KERING, but here he shows another side that focusses on short pieces, melody and blissful sound design. To give this album its perfectly warm analogue sound, the whole thing was recorded via cassette and revox tape. The first ten tracks are short, immersive musical worlds with poignant chords and glistening melodies. Some twinkle and shimmer, some sound like an underwater eco system coming to life, and others seem to come from deepest space where solar winds and sonar pulses pass you by. It's cinematic and evocative stuff that takes you away from the here and now and into a different realm. The four tracks on disc two then start with Senang, a suspensory and multi-layered piece of music that has keys, modulations and samples wrapping all around you before Whistle Of Patience has a supple minimal drum line that slowly gets under your skin. Ede 2 Nijmegen is then a turbulent dub track which builds a darker mood before closer De Test sinks back into supple, rubbery and warm drums laced up with hypnotic pads that circle all around. This is an ambitious album of meditative music that offers a beautiful place to lose your mind.

The second release on Figure Jams continues to pursue our new concept of pairing certain artists together, this time placing the seasoned Swedish sound sculptor Patrik Skoog alongside Abstract Division, a collaborative project of Paul Boex and Dave Miller, two equally experienced Dutch producers. The latter deliver a pair of straight-forward tunes that seemingly stem from the depths of space. With an intimidating backdrop of menacing and rummaging drones they carefully create a constant sense of alarming tension that is never lifted. This abstract threat takes solid shape in Patrik Skoogs slamming 'The Field", a heavy hitter of immense magnitude that despite packing a bouncy punch still stays afloat thanks to its lightly dancing hats. Another agile alien grooves closes the EP, with rides zooming in and out, slingering and cutting through the track's subtly booming body.

We welcome Mister Adrian back to Pole Group after his release on Warm Up not so long ago. 1975 is his new sonic adventure: three versions of the track plus a remix by Reeko; four cuts on the digital version and three on the black plastic slices.

The vinyl starts with Reeko's version of '1975'. Liquid textures, opaque drums, filtered sequences, subtle high hats and grey and thick drones. Add the constantly moving arrangement and the result is a timeless piece of scientific techno.

Side B starts with version B of '1975', with all the elements present from the very beginning, DX 200 one bar FM sequences, moving percussions and tense strings.

Closing the vinyl is version C of '1975'. It has less elements and brighter drums, although it maintains the one bar hypnotic sequences and adds an excellent real string sample that crosses the stereo, grows and changes during the whole arrangement. Futuristic techno with an old school feeling.

The digital bonus is version A of '1975'. Stomping beat, heavy subbass experience, crazy synth sequences, darkness and punch.

Trabet Records is proud to presents his first release on vinyl and digital: 'FIBRA 01 EP'. In this release we can find 4 track of pure techno.
The first track is 'Enter' by Elektrabel (Czech Republic): a hypnotic track with extensive development of sequences and patterns.
The second track is 'Interferencial 2P' by Josh Larue (Spain): strong techno track with a surround sound full of nuances.
Luis Ruiz ( Argentina ) signs the third track named 'Tetramorph' A solid track with classical percussion together with an organic transition.
The last track is 'Cities Of Tomorrow' by Migueru Anheru (Spain): In this track we can find a sound that is rooted in the American techno

We've encountered during one sunny Belgrade afternoon while he was chasing what he was calling fish (actually Slavic seniors transformed into dolphins and dolphin is not a fish). He might or might not told us the fore-coming story:
A man complains of being hungry. All the time. Dogs, it seems, are never hungry. So the man decides to become a dog. To be a dog, one must walk on all fours. The hero decides to wear shoes on his hands, only to discover that there is no hand left to tie the laces on the fourth shoe. What does a shoe-shod dog tie laces with Its mouth. Organ by organ, the man becomes a dog.'
One lace at a time, his record transformed us into a new type of misunderstood creatures. Most of the tracks are surprisingly fast and playable yet broken while others are groovy, however noisy. I'm pretty sure you haven't heard anything like it before. But what do I know, I'm a fish.

This is the Portuguese master's second round, after the success of his Blood EP on PoleGroup. This time Fautzi goes mental with three original tracks and an extra remix by Oscar Mulero.

"Unconsciousness" is an hypnotic piece of floating techno, based on heavy subsonic workout, high frequency drones, FM sequences and a steady arrangement. It is presented here in two different versions, both of them aimed directly to your mind.
Plus this two versions by the very artist, there is an Oscar Mulero remix cleaning the subbass spectrum, adding percussive elements and going in a different direction, more peak time oriented.

"Default" runs along similar parameters; breathing ambiences, slow-paced rhythms, cyclical synths and sharp percussions that preserve the mental state of its predecessor.

To close in style, Oscar Mulero gives "Default" a twist by putting the drones away, going straight to the percussive madness and spicing it up with a few liquid components.

Mind-induced mixing tools for the smart heads out there.

UK techno veteran Broom is one of the most consistent producers in the game and on Neon, he delivers four killer dance floor tracks. Inspired in equal parts by the swirling, dub techno of Chain Reaction and the insistent, loopy techno of mid to late-90s Jeff Mills, the release starts with the steel-plate percussion and churning chord builds of "M19". Broom keeps his focus on that approach for "Energy", where doubled-up claps and clanging chords create an eerie but urgent sensibility, while the title track is a slightly less visceral affair thanks to the inclusion of a sleepy vocal sample amid the churning keys.
Finally, "Involver" sees Broom focus his energies elsewhere, its acidic, grimy groove coming across like Steve Bicknell in a bad mood. Support from Ben Sims, James Ruskin, Edit Select, Truncate, Exos, Dustin Zahn, Alan Fitzpatrick, Skream..

Metamatics returns with his seminal classic Ep01.A slab of minimal house that has been dropped into sets from dj's like Nicolas Lutz and Move D.Originally released on the super cool London label Clear.This much sought after ep has finally got the re release it deserves.A secret weapon in any dj's record box.

A stone scorcher of an EP to put alongside his classic Aquaplanos with Donato Dozzy, from nearly ten years ago. Four contrasting, deeply atmospheric stages in longing — swingeing and propulsive to blissed-out and bittersweet. Terse but charged; hypnotic, never bludgeoning; soulful and warmly crafted, never mechanical. Says Nuel — 'Unveiled consists of live recordings made on the same great day: 03/10/2015. The inspiration comes from a woman, the record is my reaction to something she unveiled. The record is about really strong feelings, relationships and mental projections... a sexy record for me. After that recording session I found these tracks so appealing that I decided to keep them in that form, a document of that day.'In hand-made, silk-screened sleeves — tastily inky and rough — featuring a bust from the gardens of the Villa Medici in Rome... stern, erect, gaze averted. Another killer from the redoubtable Latency. Very warmly recommended.

Cocoon Recordings presents COR12146, the dignified follow-up 12 by Rico Puestel that we were waiting for so long. Cocoon head Sven Väth himself is dropping 'Caravel' for quite some time already and the godfather of German techno smashes floors around the globe with this hot and dirty bombshell. Take all of the rocking techno ingredients that you loved so much over the last decade and you get a melt down of Dustin Zahn, Industrial Strength Soundhack and many more milestones to name... however Puestel created a very unique own style out of all these influences and the result is simply outstanding. Sven played the acetate of this so often that we even had to cut a second one. Techno-trainspotter worldwide went mad for this one and were killing us with their requests and track-ID inquiries. The wait is over guys! 'Caravel' and 'Est' (on the flipside) are two cutting edge techno monsters that hold enough energy to power your car, your computer, your phone, your life...we cannot imagine what Rico will show us next ;)

Presenting the latest release from Inmotion Music as the NYC based imprint welcomes fellow city dwelling deviant ELON to the helm. Representing the long lineage of quality underground artists to come out of the city, ELON offers some deep and straight up techno that comes straight from the heart and aims solely for the feet...

ELON is certainly no stranger to the dance-floor, as his previous releases on Metroline, Made to Play and his own ReSolute label whole heartedly prove. Thick sonic attributes, mining basslines and hypnotic drums characterise the essence of this industrial leaning EP - a perfect fit, then, for this fresh label.

The EP kicks off with the almighty thud of Azone, which comes equipped with two strong remixes from already anointed label affiliate Marco Faraone and the much saught after skills of Marco Zenker. The original version's mix of heavy instruments and deep aesthetics makes it a stand out track of the moment, evoking memories of Octave One's groove and rhythm, not to mention it's raw, untreated analogue feel. Lots of oscillating basslines and perky percussive elements, all of which are stripped back on Faraone's interpretation, stripping apart the major chord buzz into a hollow, lurking track that builds at a menacing pace before unleashing full acid stabs and blasts.

Munich's Marco Zenker brings a bleaker tapestry, with the first minute of the track building in atmosphere and melody.., before bringing the beats through a hazy veil of shrouded mystery and muted mastering.

The EP is then bolstered by two more original ELON productions, both showing the Brooklyn based DJ's production prowess in abundance, Ten - with it's jittery rhythm, electro boogie overtones and acidic hypnotic rhythm - stands as warehouse techno at it's finest, most futuristic style.

Truncate - Yeah this is a great EP.. Really digging the Faraone and Zenker remixes

Opening and closing with broken techno/breakbeats XP tunes trhis ep brings 3 Techno, dry kick oldschool very Subhead style.

Blanksheet is the Berlin-based techno label founded by Hedrome. Following 'May' released November last year, 'Botton Line' is Hedrome's first physical EP. This four-tracker takes you through different facets of techno. Its optimized stomping to atmospheric, dreamy techno deepness. Early support from SHDW & Obscure Shape, Amotik, Anetha, Luigi Tozzi, Boston 168, Eric Cloutier..

Returning to MOTOR for their highly anticipated second release is the inimitable IVVY, delivering a full six scorching tracks of bitcrushed fury and percussive demolition. This tape is packed end to end with strains of distantly post-apocalyptic dancefloors, including a crushing remix of one of IVVY's previous tracks from our own, Nathaniel Young aka Richard P. At once tensely claustrophobic and cathartic, rife with shrieking synthesis and splatters of grinding metal, there is a kinetic quality here that drags you in and thrums in your chest, battering at the gates of propriety and passivity with a steely fist. Yet another outstanding contribution to the MOTOR back catalogue from the wonderful Madi Levine.

A Hidden Recordings mainstay, JC Laurent's once again combines his admiration and respect for Detroit's gritty past with a modern touch that makes his techno / house sound all his own. Previously on the label, he released 'From Nice to Berlin' with a remix from the legendary Fred P. AKA Black Jazz Consortium as well as 'Southside' with a remix from UK's Tom Dicicco (The Corner, Run Out Run). Handling important remix duties is Michigan native Myles Sergé. First introduced to techno in the late 80's and described as a 'Reclusive Perfectionist', his haunting productions reflect influences from early Detroit / Chicago electronic music.

Eliptic is Nothing but...' passion. The first release of Bucharest's based label, comes with two great pieces. On A side, Julian's track is pure madness, with a groovy bass-line, subtle percussion and crazy effects, just perfect for a good dance. On side B, Fengda's track is a trip from the beginning to the end, with a mysterious atmosphere, growing an intense journey for a taste of freedom. Two different musical perspectives that completes each other in a 12' vinyl, that you can't miss. Early supported by Rhadoo and Raresh.

The enigmatic label from Berlin, Schakal Recordings is back with its fifth release and young DJ Lorenz Lepus is next in line. The Lepus project has gone through many guises, finally Lorenz settled on making music as a solo artist under the Lorenz Lepus alias in 2014. While still studying at school Lorenz became a resident at Chalet's Tuesday sound Department parties, cutting his teeth in the cities clubs he has played in venues including Hoppetosse, Sisyphos, Arena and many more. This dedication to his music was not without some confusion, being aware of the melan- cholic minimal tendencies of his productions he has always been loathe to pin himself to a particular genre.What with the success of his career so far.. perhaps this isn't a bad thing.
'Feral Child' is made up of two original tracks and two remixes.The title track's melody swells until it breaks down into a pulsing and rolling rhythm. 'Lost' is more immediate in its dance-floor compatibly, maintaining the rolling style Lorenz imbues his take on deep house with an emotional poignancy rarely heard. Floyd Lavine steps up for the first remix on the EP, Floyd is a resident at the legendary RISE par- ties at Watergate, with one foot in Berlin and the other in his native Cape Town Floyd delivers a beauti- fully loopy and oddball twist on 'Feral Child' adding crunching static sounds. Providing a harder take on 'Feral Child', Italies VII Circle change the rolling melody into a slow techno heater.

Street sounds remixes and ambient noises dronified... music for the soul.

Sue Zuki's inaugural recorded document the ''WE ARE ALL VERY ANXIOUS'' tape is in our opinion one of the most innovative audio expeditions that has resonated with us. Boldly defying and deconstructing conventional genre tropes we aren't being bias by saying that either. This is a genuinely sincere perspective. The key to Sue Zuki's music is her vocals where she misanthropically preaches the records themes of psychological alienation and despair, trapped within an augmented virtual reality. Whilst trapped and unable to properly function inside this distorted simulation there are the bewildering sounds of a thousand voices and 'every conversation' unhealthily looping inside you're mind, through the echo chamber. Manifesting into a bleak neurotic obsession and feelings of inadequacy, a desperate plea, blinded and fatigued by the unnerving glare of the computer screen, processing too much information and not knowing if the human 'interactions' you're experiencing are genuine or artificial.
The trauma of this hollow existence is further emphasised with the combination of fragmented and jarring rhythmic grime percussive kick drums that is boosted by the metallic coiling density of detached, propulsive industrial structures. Synthetic frequencies writhe, becoming more lysergic as they progress. DnB tempos accelerate and shift in pitch as if in an erratic state of panic, dissonant foreboding drones absorb you as if drowning under the hypothermic pressure of the deepest, coldest and darkest frozen oceans. Throbbing sub bass fuelled with dread and agonising noise grips you into a suffocating claustrophobia, compressing further and further.
Rather than suppressing these feelings of insecurity and affliction there is a degree of exaggerated, self-deprecating sardonic humour that gradually unravels helping to confront the despondent nature of the record. Accompanied also by subdued, fragile and sunken RnB / Rhythm and Gloom vocals with desolate acoustic guitar fusions which overall provides an empathetic tone. Sue Zuki's music is a profound and startling glimpse into the growing cultural discomfort and paranoia of the conscious state of the human condition in the 21st Century.

This is electronic programme music; bookended in distinctive Tadeo style with a modal string section that places the record firmly in the avant-garde, The Pit guides us through the moods and associations of a classic science fiction narrative.Tadeo first released on Token in 2015 with the instant classic Terra Incognita, reminiscent of the kind of techno-futurism usually employed by some of the Detroit greats. If Terra Incognita was an interpretation of outer space, The Pit comes from deep in the ground. This is electronic programme music; bookended in distinctive Tadeo style with a modal string section that places the record firmly in the avant-garde, The Pit guides us through the moods and associations of a classic science fiction narrative.
The record is consistent in its instrumental palette, with a subdued but powerful low-end to set the pace, disorienting semitone meanderings and organic percussion in the mid, and massive, crashing hats that lift statement sections beyond comprehension.

New school electro wunderkind Privacy makes his debut on Klakson with a dark four tracker that checks all the right boxes. The EP kicks off with "Four IO", a haunting, spacey dubbed out acid roller with lush pads throughout. "U Can Tell" and "NCSC" are both specimens of the finest EBM tradition, re-interpreting the sound for 2017, while "Shove" on the B2 effortlessly transports us into deep, uptempo aquatic electro territory.

Adam Arthur has long been the brains and brawn of the Tennessee Techno scene, coordinating parties and running a serious sound system. Now he steps out of the shadows to launch his own vinyl label, Danger Close, with three slices of risky Analogue Magick recorded at his HQ 90 miles west of Memphis. "Illusions" on the A side is a long spiraling snake charmer, designed to seduce a dance floor past the point of no return with lacerating acid. "Sounds Detroit," and "Void" on the B side invoke the spirit of those desiccated warehouses of the American Mid-West where Technology merged with Mysticism. Amen.

Following the intense sonic exploration of his work with Christopher Jarman as Dot Product,
Adam Winchester steps out on his own with a bold new body of work, his first under his own name, that further expands on his ideas about non-conformist sound generation.

Winchester had previously been immersed in the early days of the Bristol dubstep scene as Wedge, but in more recent times has applied his knowledge of sound processing and technology to more scientific means, using an array of tools to harness resonant frequencies and interference generated in the space around him.

The image that adorns the cover of this release was taken by Winchester and used in
Daniela de Pauli's Optiks installation, which is based around the work of a globally connected group of amateur astronomers who collaborated to beam images into space and bounce them off the moon. Only a small fraction of the radio signals carrying the images are reflected back onto Earth, where they are picked up by radio telescopes before being converted back into the original image.

The interference picked up in the process is the result of the vast distances the information travels, and the poor reflective qualities of the moon's surface.

In the grainy textures, crunching rhythms and steely tones that inhabit this EP, Winchester captures the same spirit of invisible interference by eschewing traditional production methods, drawing his sounds solely from a range of noise, feedback and resonance found in objects and physical spaces.

Aiken delivers three tracks for the first release of the label.

2015 will be definitely a strong year for Affekt Recordings, great releases like from Uncode, MTD, D_Leria already heading the way into a new strong year.

For the 4th release of the Viennese vinyl-only imprint, the Pomelo-Mastermind Dan Lodig provides a mysterious 4-tracker and shows again his versatility which perfectly fits to the whole concept of Yoshi.

The fifth ep from Dj Shufflemaster's Shiki Kyokai. The original track was made in 2004 that involve psychedelic mood and form on minimal techno. and japanese talented producer CHERRYBOY FUNCTION who propose a possibility of new direction and sound in 2000year era made 2 remixes with jazzy sax riff and complicated his heavy groove. It's a wonderful encounter of Japanese Techno scene.

Bleep bleeeep... Domenico Rosa is back on his label one year later!

The material collated on this third release from Heavenly Music Corporation was composed specifically for St. Giga in Japan, a satellite broadcast radio station transmitting ethereal audio harmony 24 hours a day. What made this station otherworldly was its programming; motivated by tidal movements, the aquatic ebbs and flows of each day synchronised to the activity and intensity of the music broadcast.

u don't come to find yourself at the helm of one of the most successful underground house and techno imprints without a keen eye for fresh talent, that which has the potential to be nurtured, moulded and pushed to the next level. Anja Schneider has worked hard to hone that skill over the years, fine-tuning her instinctive, risk-taking persona; as a result, she just knows when someone is worth investing in. With that said, she new has her new protégé Kevin Over locked firmly in her sights - and with good reason.But even so, for Over to find himself behind the wheel of one of mobilee's annual long-form releases, despite him barely being over a quarter of a century old (not to mention having only met its founder in person less than a year ago), is quite something. But then again, Anja Schneider isn't your usual A&R, and Kevin Over isn't your usual 'talent' - as if his recent stellar run of EPs on Truesoul, Nofitstate, Avotre and of course mobilee in the last year alone, didn't tell you already. Part compilation, and part album, Over was keen to emphasize how this was his first musically extensive project which followed a defined musical structure, and was consistent in its vibe and mood from beginning to end; 'I felt like I needed more of a defined direction at this point in my career, as many of my EPs had traversed a wide variety of styles. The whole process took around three months, drawing from my early influences in garage and Chicago house as well as older funk stuff. I definitely got lost down the Youtube rabbit hole whilst looking for things to sample! I'm also so proud of having some of my favorite artists such as Marquis Hawkes, Jacob Korn and Soulphiction on board for remixes as well.As a result, the package displays a remarkably well-rounded cohesion, despite many of the tracks being wildly disparate in a musical sense. They all contain that trademark Over sound that's hard to put your finger on, be it the piston-driven, jacking drums, the use of dirt and distortion as a textural tool, or the understated yet catchy melodies. The gloriously gravelly deep house of 'Vember' contrasts beautifully against the woozy, euphoria of 'Look At Me Sartre'. There's everything from disco-inflected bangers ('Pfeffi Care') to bittersweet, nostalgic house making an appearance ('Hillside Av.'), rounding off with his haunting take on Rodriguez Jr.'s 2012 anthem 'Satellite' As is tradition with the 'Back To Back' series, the full package will also be accompanied by a 'best of' mobilee tracks from the previous year, with tracks from Audiofly, Ray Opkara, Rodriguez Jr. amongst many others, and of course Anja Schneider herself. Kevin's series of original tracks and remixes will be available to buy as a 2 x 12' gatefold package. A tour is also scheduled to follow.

Osiris Music UK present 'e´migre´', the debut LP from label stalwart Killawatt. It signifies three years of stylistic evolution in his sound, from the earlier spaced out percussive dubstep into a sub-bass centred amalgamation of electronica, techno and UK aesthetics.

From Killawatt: 'There is no great story or overly pretentious concept behind this album. It's probably the most natural record I've written in so far in that it just sort of happened without really thinking about it. Most of the tracks on the LP were experiments in things like granular synthesis and weird sample processing that were never intended to become finished pieces, they were filling the space between everything I was trying to write, and all that music I was intentionally writing subsequently got scrapped! Though an unorthodox method of writing an album, it's turned out to be a fruitful, varied and very satisfying one.'

'e´migre´' will be released digitally, and as a double LP on orange and black marbled vinyl containing 8 of the 12 tracks from the record. A free download of the full record is also included with every physical copy.

Early support from Ben Sims, Dave Clarke, Tommy Four Seven, Mosca, DJ Pete, Clouds, Eomac, Lakker, J.Tijn, Paul Mac, Mønic, Manni Dee.

Tommy Four Seven - Congrats with the album, fresh beats and trippy sonic adventures! big up!
Dark Sky - Thanks for sending your album over. Some really interesting stuff here!
Happa - Proper love your album. It's sonically wonderful, and as a whole piece... It's just fucking wicked!
DJ Pete - Very good album! Full support!
Eomac - It's a wicked album. As I expected from Killawatt!
Mosca - Thanks for these mate! Destination Unknown is a mad sideways one! Will be supporting.

Barely has the dust settled on the first Cold Tonic, yet label boss Krystal Klear is back already with two more heavy hitters for TONIC002. Building on the foundations of the debut release, 'Dance 7FS' shows a darker shadow rarely seen in previous Krystal Klear music. Moving into lights out, eyes down territorywith the driving breaks of West End disco, this is KK stepping into his own. 'Fumer Tue' features 'Relics'-esque string laden melancholy but never ever goes fully PG. This is R-rated lovers music and, if the feedback is anywhere near the mark, could easily go straight into last-tune-of-the-night-classic territory for the next generation of dance music connoisseurs.


'Krystal Klear delivering the goods again, showing pure diversity across 2 dance floor slammers!'

'Yeah really like them tbh.another BEAST on Coldtonic, Keep it up please!'

Once again Ling-Ling label hit the target : 4 tunes offering 4 melodious acid TechnoCore at the hardtrance frontie. Refreshing the stylein a far less commercial sound as it used to be... Notice also a very thin beautyfull ambient bonus at the end of A side. MASSIVE !

Though quality techno is regularly associated with the colder climates of Berlin and Detroit, the recent developments happening on the Iberian Peninsula have been hard to ignore. One of the region's more interesting and consistent producers in this decade has been Maceo Plex, owner of the Ellum Audio label. Armed with an encyclopedic knowledge of signature club sounds, and with an ability to investigate 'darker' side of modern life (a tendency that can be heard especially well on past Plex-produced tracks like 'Conjure Balearia'), Plex has located the 'Goldilocks zone' between funk liberation and mechanical control. Mastering this balancing act is a skill that separates the best producers from the legions of also-rans: it shines through in his back catalog and is back in full force for his new 'Tesseract' EP on Ellum.

The A-side of the new single is an intriguing blend of urban soundscape and slow-burning, post-industrial drama. The sounds of downtown pedestrian chatter and street musicians (playing horns and steel drums, respectively) build up a feeling of heightened curiosity that makes the incoming rush of rhythmic sound all the more effective. Held in place by a creeping arpeggiated bassline and accented throughout with sonic reflections and subtle shifts in resonance, 'Tesseract' has all the suspense of a Cold War spy thriller and a sense of spine-tingling urgency that animates all the classics of electronic body music. This effect is completed by well-placed swells of lead synth, and by devious 'plot twists' like an unexpected sputtering breakdown occuring right after the track's tense groove has fully taken over the listener's headspace.

On the B-side ('5th Dimensional Groove'), Maceo and the UK duo Swayzak join forces and turn in an attention-grabbing track that deviates just slightly from the energy exhibited on the flipside. While preserving that urgent feeling of racing against time, this power trio strips things back to basics a little more, but without sacrificing innovation or unpredictability in the process. On '5th Dimensional Groove' a trembling lead synth figure snakes in between a pulse-quickening mix of low-end sequences and minimal but forceful pneumatic percussion, and the combined creative energies of Swayzak and Plex also direct themselves towards unexpected breakdowns / meltdowns (in this case, a splash of cold water combined with a reversal of the lead synth sounds).

On the first release for Mannella on his own imprint, the ice is broken by generous strings and subdued synths. Revisiting 'Space Candyman' with his distinctive stamp, Marieu blows up every emotion in a swirl of high spirited Techno. The B side displays all the intensity of this release, starting by the pure beat of the original mix.
Lucretio's Remix is a mighty vision of 'Letters from Mars' with a dogged bustle of reverberated drums and filtered chords.
Consider a tree for a moment: we just see and enjoy its beauty, but it must develop its roots under the ground to bloom all its beauty and grows up strong. In much the same way, JT SERIES sinks his particular sound in a ground covered music grove.
So, the fruits of our tree, are a collection of sounds thought out of the box. Mannella, that runs this Berlin based label, never stop explores the vast world ingrained in his machines. A sensorial Techno contaminated by the most varied influences.

Inc. Echologist Dub version

The Death of Rave are gassed to present the 2nd vinyl release of roiling, computerised No Wave by
exciting pan-European duo, N.M.O. Under the mantra - As Strict As Possible - their 'Tropicalyptic
Excursions' combine militant snares and amorphous SuperCollider shapes in disciplined
dancefloor arrangements, p'raps best compared with a melted hybrid of Powell's cranky engines
and EVOL's mutant rave signals dosed with Low Jack swagger.
They're dead strange, semi-organic dance creatures, stripped to the bare essentials of shifty
rhythm and biting tone, bristling with a concentrated energy that belies their hypnotic, body-
scattering effect on the 'floor.
Without resorting to overly masculine tactics or conventional structures, they carve a path from
kinky, pendulous percussion and grinding globular bass squelch laced with computer gremlins in
the title track, to the bashy, percolated jag of 'Talkingabouttalking' with its metal-tearing build-up,
and over to the whooping industrial bounce of 'Zaragoza Variations', cut loud and clattering for the
B-side by Matt The Alchemist' Colton.
Like the duo's striking 'Nederlandse Maatschappij Ontwikkeling' 12' and 'Dominant Akkord'
cassette for Barcelona's Anòmia label, this 12' is a refreshing inversion and diversion of dancefloor
strictures - getting down with a wickedly raw, awkward and freaky rave flex. If you ever get
the chance, make sure to check their aerobic live shows for a radical take on contemporary live
electronic performance.

Nick Klein and Maoupa Mazzocchetti recorded some wild jams while touring together last year for an Unknown Precept label showcase. Combining noisy sounds with live melodic synth riffs as well as a jacking 808, Klein and Mazzocchetti made some harsh left-of-center techno. With time signature and tempo changes mid-track, this music has a zero fucks given attitude. Recorded in Berlin. Hand stamped 7 inches manufactured in the USA. Quality music for your soul!

Martin Eyerer & Rainer Weichhold are very glad to welcome back Ninetoes on Kling Klong Records where he kickstarted his world conquest with 'Finder' in 2013. Meanwhile his catalogue also contains release and remixes on Saved, Snatch!, Noir, Toolroom etc.

Ninetoes also asked his mates Kevin Over and Ramon Tapia to demonstrate their remix skills and we all can't be happier about the result.

The boys from Nummer are back on their own Nummer Music imprint with a fresh new EP! Following a busy start of the year with 'To The D' and their first Nitejams 12", the duo offer three 808-heavy cuts and continue to blur the line between techno and their influences. From the acid-infused 'Street War Success' to the more electro 'Golden Age' and gloomy 'Downtown Breukelen', this is another vital release from the two Londoners!

rbchmbrs debuts with a stunning, gnarled take on drum & bass. Dystopian soundscapes, jagged rhythms,
warped breaks and forlorn vocal samples abound here, with a wicked sense for funk underlying the whole

Tanaka Hideyuki, launching his own label under cooperations with Japanese Underground Gallery. Some unique minimal techno with a cutting edge. This EP mastering done by Alex Korlk from 9volt-musik, and artwork done by Kentaro Minoura. Limited Vinyl Press only 200 units manufactured in Detroit.

The Smoke Clears is the abstract ambient project of producer John Daly (One Track/ Secret Sundaze). He debuted this alias with an eponymous LP in 2013 on Further Records and we're proud to present a part 2.Following up his 2013 LP of the same name, this record builds upon it's predecessor's ambient abstractions while adding another layer of nuanced melodic contemplation.Kicking off with "Fathoms" a deceptively calm track but with a paced sense of urgency which is evident throughout the LP, belying it's calm undertones. Continuing at this pace for the rest of the first side the LP takes a side turn with the lush "Slipstream" melting into the only vocal track of the LP - the dubbed out bliss of "Oh My Days" featuring Cian Finn. Showcasing a side that might not be familiar to those who come to the table with knowledge of the Galway producers house and techno releases on his own imprint One Track Records, Secret Sundaze, Running Back and more, this is lush downtempo machine music equally as at home cranked up one louder soundsystem style, or for late night home listening.

Two tracks from a brand new (second in a row) EP by Warsaw-based duo Tumult Hands fully illustrate paradoxical approach of Jacek Sienkiewicz and Jurek PrzeŸdziecki to the creation of a common integrated form. Spontaneous compositional decisions and minute sound interventions are contrasted here with a persistent precision of rhythms generated by both musicians in a reality of an inter-studio' space, in moments of an encounter - sometimes, fully controlled collision - of two worlds. Full of inner rigour and logic (record is a prime example of modern functionalist music), although teeming with fantasy and flourish, Tumult Hands' current explorations also announce duo's full-length LP, soon to be released through Recognition Records.

A series of repetitive chunks of rhythmic information manufactured into a product that challenges the oppression of service and safety. It's Unit Moebius Anonymous and you shouldn't need a bit of text to tell you what that means.

Utopus is Ion D's project that deals with tehno heresies, not-minimal and fragmented melancholy. Ion D is the ubiquitous main-character of Future Nuggets standing as a producer behind many entities like Steaua de Mare, Raze de Soare, Australopitecus Oltensis, co-producing Delusion Men and appearing under different cameos in both volumes "Sound of the Unheard from Romania". On P-Balans imprint Utopus will endevour with club-oriented laboratory work, keeping intact the "delics" of each genre compressed in the amalgan. Set yourselves up for some balanced grooves augmented by unfinished melodies, abstract dramaturgy and very serious tehnodelic motors.

Prolific Dutch artist Conforce is back on his most regular label, Delsin, with a fresh new four track EP. It is the second part to his North to South series that started on the label earlier in the year. Typically deep offerings that marry driving drums with wide open spaces full of smooth and serene atmospherics. Where bubbling underwater baselines and coarse claps making the more techno leaning grooves. Overall it's another majestic and elegant EP from one of the finest in the game.

Long-time London based friends and regular collaborators Ethyl & Flori have been foraying between the blurred lines of house and techno with releases on labels like secretsundaze, Aim and Fear of Flying for the last 6 years - and with a glowing reputation under their belt, 2015 saw the duo launch their own imprint E&F Records. This time however, their most recent venture is a release with London label Mutual Friend Recordings and combines the duo's talent with enigmatic label owners and Friends Of Ours London party curators Our Mutual Friend, their solo EP on Brooklyn's Voodoo Down Records earlier this year was tipped by such luminaries as Levon Vincent and DJ October. Ethyl & Flori open the package with otherworldy cut 'Lacewing', driven by a rolling bass and delicately sprinkled with ethereal chime hits and lingering piano melodies. Up next, Our Mutual Friend deliver a hypnotic, layered remix of 'Lacewing', instead laying the focus on down-tempo percussion and glitched samples. Our Mutual Friend open up the flip with 'Burnside' which lays down chattering bass hits shuffling alongside soothing melodic chimes, then Ethyl & Flori deliver a toughened remix of 'Burnside', injecting some of their relentless techno style by deepening the cut with murky synth notes and dark atmospherics.

First official vinyl reissue of original cassette 'Fondation - Le Vaisseau Blanc'.

Fantastic cosmic, space, ambient and experimental music from mysterious French duo Annanka Raghel and Ivan Coaquette (formerly of Spacecraft and Musica Elettronica Viva). Originally released in 1983 as a limited edition cassette of only 500 copies on Camouflage label; this ranks up there with anything by Ash Ra Tempel, Agitation Free, Heldon or Richard Pinhas. Incredibly evocative and highly recommended.
Historic moment - a lost piece of the puzzle of the wondrous french avant-garde. This official reissue comes in a double album gatefold sleeve with archives from Ivan Coaquette collages. Limited to 500 copies.

Bonus : comes also with an insert with trippy photo by France Annanka Raghel herself and brief description of Fondation band.

Kling Klong founder Martin Eyerer has always been a big fan of collaborations and since their common releases on Get Physical and Leena worked that well it's definitely time to team up with Ackermann on his own label, too. And a big shout out goes to Kaiserdisco who return with a great remix to Kling Klong after several years of absence since their massive success with Jaana.

Alec Storey aka Second Storey präsentiert mit seinem zweiten Houndstooth-Album "Lucid Locations" eine erhabene Kollektion 10 bassgetriebener und akribischer Tracks, perfekt ausbalanciert zwischen Filigranität und Wildheit, irgendwo zwischen Bass, Electro, Techno, Ambient, D&B und psychedelischer IDM. CD und farbiges 180g Doppelvinyl (einmal gelbes, einmal schwarzes Vinyl).

Following his first EP on Field Records in 2015, Staffan Linzatti presents the 25th instalment of the label with a perfectly balanced minimalist techno triple pack.

The Drumcode A-Sides compilation is quickly becoming synonymous within the techno world as a go to compilation for the hottest tracks that are deservedly A-side material in their own right. Each specific track has it own unique character that brings an outstanding and electrifying aspect to the compilation that as a whole makes it something extremely special. Mixing both highly experienced and new artists has helped to bring a new dimension to the compilation that makes it such a special array of tracks.

We kick the new year off in superb fashion with a huge Sleaze remix project! We've selected big tracks from our own back catalogue, whi

VRAC aka Andrei Ciubuc & Vlad Radu are back on Subtil. The release features two tracks, titled Repattern and Default 44.

Both tracks characterized by a mesh of hypnotic drums, clicks as well as dark synth-lines, skillfully arranged into an ambivalent atmosphere.

It´s good to have the two romanians back on Subtil.

Craggy, slightly sharp sound with a rolling bass of different shapes and manifestations sounds interesting and racily fits in the overall picture of the track. Three angles: association, image, essence that bears an idea containing soft and moving vibration.
Three angles. Three pines on a forked road.

Florian is back on L.I.E.S. with another massive release. This one runs the gamut from the epic PWOG styled opener Contact, to industrialized beat track of Random Chaos to stepping broken techno on closing track Z as we hear the artist further evolving and exploring his sound. By far his most diverse and mature release to date.

MICK HARRIS (SCORN, QUOIT, PAINKILLER) returns after several years of hiatus with ten tracks of blasting landmine bass and interlocking shrapnel rhythms.I've been asked to write a press piece for the dark lord MICK HARRIS.Where does one even start Especially for someone with decades of releases over various solo projects, collaborations and pseudonyms, whether it's doing blast beats in the original NAPALM DEATH to crushing techno brutality as MONRELLA, or savage drum & bass as QUOIT. Then of course there's the mighty SCORN and his numerous collaborations with fellow luminaries such as JOHN ZORN and BILL LASWELL (in PAINKILLER).Rather than being tied to genres or scenes, MICK HARRIS is one of those producers who creates a whole sonic world uniquely of his own, in which varying tracks, styles and tempos take form, but yet in which everything sounds unmistakably characteristic of the creator. Needless to say his work has influenced legions of producers like SURGEON, REGIS, ONTAL, VATICAN SHADOW / PRURIENT, FAUSTEN, SHAPEDNOISE et al, and pretty much anyone in the world of powerfully dark, abrasive music you could name-drop. And yet after all this time, it is impressive that HARRIS still stands way above his successors and has never been surpassed in his own production/performance game.After a hiatus of several years, he is back with a new album under the guise of FRET.Working at a faster tempo than his SCORN material, the FRET project first surfaced years ago on the DOWNWARDS label, rooting it firmly in the dark, industrial and technoid world, and appeared more recently on Tresor (Kern mix by OBJEKT), maintaining the characteristic colossal bass-heaviness and textural depth.And now a full album on KARLRECORDS, Berlin. HARRIS fans will be delighted to know that despite the 130 bpm tempo, the newest FRET still resolutely avoids any straight four-on-the-floor kickdrums, every track lurches, stumbles, staggers and charges forth with beats in beautifully broken asymmetry.We get 10 tracks of crushing, percussive destroyers, each itself a storm of precision chaos, with colossal low-end frequencies that'll cause stampedes in the right circumstances. The classic HARRIS sound is there, searing waves of feedback distortion, intricate, interlocking rhythms and cold, abattoir atmospheres, especially track 6 "Stuck in the track at Salford Priors" which sounds like you're being continuously suspended in the air from multiple explosions all around, each kickdrum throwing you up in the air, the next one going off before you can fall completely back to the ground.The lazy-minded would probably lump it in with the term "techno", but the disciplined brutality, blasting landmine bass and interlocking shrapnel rhythms are clearly HARRIS' own trademark style, sitting somewhere between SCORN and QUOIT.The tracks appear deceptively chaotic on the surface, yet each is meticulously and masterfully composed with great attention to layering and detail. MICK HARRIS fans rejoice, the dark lord still remains at the top of his game.

Dissonant returns with some thrilling, fresh grooves from New York City by the talented producer Bobby Gasparakis for the upcoming release. The legacy of NY house on Gaspara sound is balanced out by a measured and energetic approach reaching the most effective dancefloor cuts. The title track on this Nafpi EP' is a perfect example with plenty of subtle touches into the mix that edge the funk into this exciting Spartan soundscape, from playful conga hits to the insistent clap always increasing the pull of the rhythm section. Providing the perfect contrast, A Pillow for Julia' is an adventurous and exotic excursion with organic instrumentation alongside distant sweeps of pads, subtle shimmers of dub chords sounding sometimes like swirling vocals. This combination unfolds like a gripping story, carefully arranged across nine minutes of transcendental music to create a spiritual experience that shows Gaspara's diversity. Whether you want a straight-ahead club workout or a sensual trip into more unusual realms of house music, Gaspara has proved to be an outstanding talent on his first release for Dissonant.

Rounding out a busy year, Livity Sound are proud to present a brand new four track EP of deadly club ready rhythms from Paris' finest, Simo Cell.

After the Alma EP' by Shanti Celeste, secretsundaze' s 19th release comes from another UK home grown favourite Wbeeza.
Beeza is a firm part of the secretsundaze family and although it's his first release on the label, he has been a regular fixture at the parties now for 5 or 6 years playing at both the London events and touring internationally with Giles and James as a live act, as well touring extensively by himself.
We hope his music needs no introduction - his sound is quite simply fresh; an amalgamation of so many things from house, techno, jazz, hip hop to more UK leaning garage vibes. Born and bred in South London and the youngest of 6 brothers he has dance music pumping through his veins.
Black Moon EP is up there with the very best of his work and all 3 tracks show a level of maturity that comes from releasing over 14 EPs and close to 2 LPs (his second LP entitled Visions of Love drops next month on Third Ear)
Title track Black Moon is a murky, growling techno workout with syncopated lo fi beats, a thunderous bass line that is eq'd to within an inch of its life, and white noise FX. Within the right hands this should be a deadly weapon.
Like Butta is a hazy, percussive tool that keeps the tension high while B side track Ferguson is arguably the strongest track of the EP. Referencing the Ferguson case in Missouri that sparked vigorous debate about the relationship between the police and African Americans, the track is a timeless groove, coming on like a modern day version of Maurizio's 'M4' with its heads-down, hypnotic deep techno flow that one could simply listen to on repeat. Wbeeza on secretsundaze.....Need we say more!

includes 10 classic reworks remastered and spread across the 5 pieces of vinyl, an exclusive interview and download code to the full digital album containing a further 10 reworks. Box is covered in linen with a red foil print.

Humans by Berlin based and Salon des Amateurs long term resident Philipp Otterbach is a deeply cinematic trip, wandering through a realm of voices, mechanic beats and slowly pulsating, desolated synthscapes. Humans is the first release on the new Tour Messier label, exploring the deeper spaces and outer regions of electronics, ambient and electro. Stepping away from the dancefloor Tour Messier is intended for personal listening, being connected to an intangible and endless universe through music.

The enchanting and notorious Satori unveils Imani's Dress, the first snippet of his forthcoming album due for release this Spring on the illustrious Crosstown Rebels, with Matthew Dear and Ewan Pearson providing hefty remixes.
Satori is no ordinary producer and live artist. Born to a Serbian father and South African mother, the man behind the instrument is a meditative music-lover on a deeply spiritual journey. Creating melodies on the piano, kora, kalimba, and guitar, his live shows are mind-altering.
Imani's Dress was the spark for the creation of Satori's debut album after Damian Lazarus heard it and requested to hear more from the visionary artist. Hungry and eager, Satori locked himself in a secluded studio and finished the album, and soon after it was signed to it's spiritual home, Crosstown Rebels.
DJ and production heavyweight Matthew Dear's remix is a skillful demon that illustrates why he is a pivotal artist in the electronic music arena. Ewan Pearson's remix is an ode to the guitar. Creating music for over two decades, here his warm riffs are infused with soothing synths and a meticulous groove.

The second release from Blind Allies is the latest journey to the universe of unearthly music. It includes acid electro trip from Docta Gee, stunning track by -=UHU=-, journey to outer space from Franck Kartell and cosmic saga by Komarken Electronics.

Felix Bernhardt returns to the AFU home with his new four tracker Home EP !
Four very strong Techno tunes delivered in his unique and always powerful Techno style.

We love and release on Vinyl!

A very Future Times sounding Future Times from Jeremy Hyman. Slighty odd, beautifully constructed and very friendly tracks that please us immensly. He first popped up on last years VIBE 3 compilation and this is a full extension of that appearence. Not much known on the man apart from he's part of Slasher Flicks with Animal Collective's Dave Portner.. TIP for the wise!

Number six emerged deepest Devon, UK! Jimmy Winkles, the most notorious chap on the south shore, has been troubling up with Midlight at BAR Rotterdam, Intergalactic FM, GCW Radio & now in the foreverness with his well tripped out tribal house of tomorrow. Mark du Mosch did the fix on the flip. This mighty West Coast cat has been a fav of the Midlight brothers since they moved to the Harbor city of Rotterdam. Finally we welcome him to the imprint. Infinit phun!

* Cold Recordings is very proud to include Berlin based producer PHON.O as part of it's growing roster by means of this immaculate EP. Across the 3 tracks, PHON.O demonstrates his ability to combine UK- bass influences with techno sensibilities, ultimately crafting cutting edge music for the dancefloor.

* 'CLU5T3R' opens the EP with a swinging 132bpm rhythm that sits somewhere in between classic UK-Funky and a cracking Shed/Heads High techno anthem. The repeating riff that circles and cycles, sweeps through the frequency spectrum, energising and purposeful. Versatile and effective, this is a track to come back to time and time again.

* Flip the plate and there's another couple of gems. 'V3R5U5' continues on from where 'CLU5T3R' left off, progressing the mood into a more ethereal space, building layers of pads and texture as the track developes, rising and ramping up, before pulling back and dropping into a rolling rhythm. Closing up the EP is 'H4NDCUFF3D', which takes the mood into a more dramatic backdrop. Chilling pads swell up from the ground like mist in a graveyard, while the broken rhythm sets pace, creating a moody ambiance for those moments when you want to take a dancefloor into mystical, other-worldly territories. Dramatic and energising!

Detroit techno veteran Terrence Dixon marks another chapter of his long standing career
signing for Italian imprint Out Electronic Recordings as Population One. After releasing three
EPs on Modularz, 30drop and his own outlet reduction in 2015 under the aformentioned
moniker, Terrence Dixon is going to kick off the new year with two techno, retro-feeling
original tracks capturing his typical production take.

'Temporary Insanity' rolls out the hard-driving, stomping old school side of the artist,
featuring sharp melodic sound scapes and incisive percussive elements. Fat claps and bright
hats animate the mood involving listeners through a simple, incisive rhythmic power
combined with a bass static arpeggio sequence and pointed bleep textures together.

'Multiple Choice' differs from the previous cut by featuring a spacey atmospheric, heady
synth lines and patterns, taking your mind to a more mysterious, introspective dimension
with enchanting pads plus a energetic kick, bass and drum intersection.

From the depths of the dark net come Telkhin, the latest addition to the Shipwrec roster. Following Earth Being Recycled on Detroit Underground, the Argentine project are debuting on vinyl with five tracks of off-world electronics. The chilling atmospherics of "Body Container" meet the needle before an electro iciness takes hold. Spiking snares and echoed radiowaves orbit the moody "Walk In", that same frosted futurism central to "Level Above Human". Telkhin melts man and machine, giving the computer age a humanoid form. Processors whirr in the bassy bleeps and residues of "Brithomber" before the final statement. Leaving the human world behind "Flight 19" is a fast and future funk driven piece of 2050 music. Forget the past, embrace the next step. Limited run of 150 coloured copies.

Support from Ben Sims, Dave Clarke, Marcel Dettmann, Richie Hawtin, Laurent Garnier, Rolando, Truncate, Breach, Marco Bailey, Samuli Kemppi, Keith Carnal,

We are proud to release this both great track son one 12inc. This record will be available on Vinyl only, not as digital release.

Dys Functional Electronic Music is a compilation release from Repitch Recordings, celebrating the label's first five years. Its ambivalent title aims to represent the sonic behaviour of its content, often deviating from norms or distancing itself from common club functionalism. For this release, the 3 REPITCH masterminds Ascion, D. Carbone and Shapednoise are joined by a selection of the artists who contributed shaping the Repitch sound throughout the years, along with guests that inspired them in this adventure. During the past 5 years the main focus of the label was to set up a platform for experimentations across the dancefloor canon, establishing a standout musical identity. A spirit that resonates within each artist's personal approach: from Ascion's dark breakbeats to The Exaltics and AnD's acid frontalism, Shapednoise's brooding noise, Sote's fractured rave, D. Carbone and Gaja's intrusions into melody, Pinch and the Zenker Brothers' dub-infused atmospherics, Skudge's love of gloom and Nuel's IDM-ish minimalism.

'Dispersion' is an EP deep in style, talent and wonder. Embellishing the underground kudos of Berlin-based techno DJ and producer AVION, owner of the hotly tipped, and renowned imprint Crossing, Dispersion is an eclectic mix of cerebral, uncompromising and colorful techno. Title track 'Dispersion' is a gleaming display of spacious dancefloor beats; melancholic, yet industrial. 'Real' is clinical, functional techno, emulating some of The Wizard's influential magic. 'Inverse' blends together a contemporary approach to sonic aptitudes, while remaining a strictly dancefloor and body orientated, while 'Enidan' a colorful moment of ambient beauty, plays the EP out.
It is the first release on Marcel Fengler's regarded, techno imprint IMF in 2017. 'Dispersion' is an ambitious, and unique EP, from a true underground -and mysterious - talent. The EP's style embodies the bright, hypnotic and pulsing music that has characterized his releases to date on Crossing. Talking about the release, Fengler states, 'He got my attention after some pretty strong releases on his own imprint Crossing. I felt that this was something I didn't have on my label, but still reflected the idea of IMF.
