Die New Yorker Techno-Produzentin Umfang veröffentlicht ihr Debütalbum auf Technicolour/Ninja Tune! Umfang ist waschechte New Yorkerin, Labelgründerin und Techno-Feministin. Mit Discwoman, ihrer eigenen Plattenfirma, setzt sie seit 2014 der männerdominierten Clubwelt eine weibliche Alternative entgegen, in dem sie elektronische Musik mit feministischen Ansichten vereint und das Talent von Cis-, Trans- und Genderqueer-Frauen fördert. Ihre amorphen und polyrhythmischen Techno-Produktionen erfreuen sich schon jetzt großer Beliebtheit, und mit ihrem Albumdebüt "Symbolic Use Of Light" auf Technicolour, welches Mitte Juni erscheint, wird die Männerdomäne im Nachtleben endgültig gebrochen werden.

Varg marks the start of his expansive Nordic Flora Series with four tracks of downcast euphoria, fitted with enough bump to make you mistake the smoke machine for a riot control agent.

Repress of long out of print triple LP from 2018

"Sessions" brings together a personal selection of Carl Craig's incredible back catalogue, from his early work under the aliases PAPERCLIP PEOPLE, PSYCHE and 69 to worldwide hits like "Throw" and ground-breaking tracks like "Bug in the Bassbin". "Sessions" reminds us of how exciting and unique Carl Craig's productions and remixes are and why he remains at the top of his game - a retrospective of one of the world's most influential and groundbreaking figures in electronic music.

For the second part of Osiris' 50th release celebrations, we get another new track, 'Regret Was Never So Sure', from head honcho Simon Shreeve in his Mønic guise: a piece that nods to his past but looks firmly to the future of bass-driven music.

The track then gets some very special treatment on the B side from Regis, who blends its core textures with his own unmistakable percussion, before Mønic returns to close things out with 'Forbidden Memories': an ambient piece with high-hats that seem to dance delicately on ice, and claps layered with reverb in true Mønic style.

Tripping pieces from the the incredible NTS sessions aired live in 2016. *Not To Be Sold Before Friday 4th August*
.
Last year, Hieroglyphic Being (producer of astral electronic explorations touching house, techno, industrial, avant-jazz and noise), percussionist and producer Sarathy Korwar (who fused traditional folk music of the Sidi community in India with jazz and electronics on his debut album Day To Day' released by Ninja Tune in collaboration with The Steve Reid Foundation), and Shabaka Hutchings (the highly respected British saxophonist and co-founder of Sons Of Kemet, Mercury-nominated The Comet Is Coming and Shabaka & The Ancestors) - recorded a 100% live improvised session at the iconic Lightship95 studio moored at Trinity Buoy Wharf, London. They recorded over 2.5 hours of music across 2 sessions, with 90 minutes streamed live via NTS.

Burgeoning DJ and producer Bontan makes his debut on the notorious Hot Creations label. Hotly anticipated, the release features two original cuts to fuel his rising profile.UK based Bontan has been using title track The First Time as his secret weapon for the last six months and is now finally unleashing it. 'I've been testing it and tweaking it play by play!' he explains. 'The vocal compliments the rolling bass melody and gives it a darker edge'. This a producer who fully understands how to create a track for a heaving dancefloor. Personal Question is the second cut and flips the mood entirely with a twisted vocal entwined in beeps and percussion, whilst stirring the sentiments of lost early hours.A firm favourite in the underground scene, he has built a solid reputation with releases on Circus Recordings, 20/20 Vision, and Cajual among others.

Limited to 200 copies.

brokntoys opens its monochrome series with a debut EP from Gamma Intel.

Across 4 tracks, the Dutch producer presents a workout in jagged body music. Power Plant Tales sets the scene with suspenseful driving rhythms and Theorem X rolls on through sweat-dripping grooves. On the B-side, Post Factum navigates through weird contortions while Self-Denial takes no prisoners as the fierce and menacing finale.

Rhythm Büro is a new record label based out of Kiev, Ukraine started by DJ and promoter Igor Glushko. The büro first began as a local party series organised by Igor, Alexander Pavlenko (aka Na Nich, widely known in the drum'n'bass world as Sunchase) and Vera Logdanidi (aka Vero). Since the party's beginning in March 2015, Rhythm Büro has hosted such greats as Zadig, Abdulla Rashim, Etapp Kyle, Eric Cloutier, Woo York, Artefakt, Acronym, Steve Bicknell and Actress all at different non-club warehouse-like locations around Kiev. A peculiar aspect of the Rhythm Büro team's objective has been to maintain secrecy about the exact location of the party until a day prior to the event, when ticket buyers are then informed about the location via text message or email. The label was started to be the logical and progressive extension to what Rhythm Büro has established itself to be locally: one of Ukraine's prominent techno initiatives.
For the first release of the label, Na Nich and Vero have contributed two joint-produced tracks that are to become their first publicly available material under their current aliases. While A1 leans itself to the soundscape that is more or less typical for Rhythm Büro parties: trippy, hypnotic and transportive techno, A2 hits the floor with refreshing zeal, bringing an electro-esque break-beat under deep and emotive synth layers. The B side contains two remixes of the title track, one of which is thoroughly tailored by the Dutch-born-Berlin-based-duo, Artefakt (mostly known for their releases on Delsin, Prologue and Field) as well as a strong and heady remix by Semantica Records' mastermind, Svreca.

Ø (Phase)'s 2015 album 'Alone in Time' was the second LP in a remarkable line of releases on Token since 2007. Token65 is a retrospective tribute to the record, offering remixes of two of its tracks.

The utilitarian discord of R-Mash is remixed by James Ruskin & Karl O' Connor (Regis) under their recently-rekindled O/V/R collaboration. Their interpretation highlights the rattling percussion of the original and its juxtaposition with the tense and uneasy anti-harmony that emerges from its pulse.

On the other side, Ø (Phase) revisits the album's title piece. 'Alone in Time' originally appeared as a restless arrangement, driven by its fluttering melody and bolstered by a damp, staggering kick. In its reimagined form, the track is forged into a solid construction for the dancefloor, with its impatient theme re-appearing as a delirious climax.

After 2 successful, reputation forming EP's (The Descent Chapter I & II), enigmatic musical entity Pact Infernal re emerge with their debut LP 'Infernality' for Horo. Equal parts horror and simmering mysticism, the Pact Infernal sound has collected a base of devoted listeners including musical contemporaries like Lucy, Samuel Kerridge, Trepaneringsritualen, & Oake.

'Infernality' is an accomplished coming of age for Pact Infernal, a conceptual LP that brings together the elements that worked so well on both their EP's into a robust, coherent statement. Beckoning, sinuous rhythms combine with smoky ambience and subtly anthemic riffs. The haunting percussion that has been a highlight of their past work often takes the lead, and in 'Death & Rebirth', Pact Infernal have come up with their most infectious music so far. Album closer 'Rites Of Passage' is a time capsule Pact Infernal track, perfectly combining their stylistic signatures into an essential bookend.

'Infernality' marks the beginning of another chapter in the Pact Infernal tale as they undertake their very first live and DJ performances, as well as firmly establishing they have carved out their own singular stylistic patch within electronic music, tenuously tied to many strains, but ultimately incomparable.

Prolific and understated musician Shane English delivers a follow up 12 inch for L.I.E.S. after his powerful "General Dimensions" lp from 2016. Once again the Austin based artist taps into the outer edges of the electronic world falling in a grey area somewhere between Muslimgauze, creeped tribal electronics or the tense beat experiments on Seico Corp Recordings. This is downed tree split open wire music, live to the touch.. free form open ended recorded music from one of the most interesting and best kept secrets in American electronics these days. Unending tension with every turn, this is not a record to miss.

sorgenkint is back !!! after his release on the acid test label he let the family dance with tanztabletten and he´s hunting bitches with 3 great techno / acid tracks. the 4th track is on b side: a awesome remix of queaver !!

ltd edition double 7" pack..

a great new burner by adam kroll on cocoon records !!!!

It's already well-known that Cocoon Recordings is a sucker for tracks that stand out of the usual field of - let's be honest - often uniformly reduced Tech-House, and the past nine years of the label's history have proven this sustainably. And the Rhein-Neckar area based team Flatner/Lopazz are again two hot candidates to leave their very special mark on the summer of 2009. After all, Circlemusic manager Alex Flatner is rocking the floors as a DJ and producer for already 10 years now, having been releasing for labels such as Harthouse or Black Nation, whereas the Heidelberg-born Stefan Eichinger aka Lopazz has made himself a name with releases on imprints from the likes of Output, International Deejay Gigolo and mainly Get Physical. Together they celebrate a very funky understanding for percussive Techno, which is setting highly meaningful moments for the primetime, particularly by means of lascivious vocals. 'I wanna take you all night long", for sure! And you definitely can't find a better expression for the perfect pounding symbiosis between bass-focused club stompers and economically dosed Pop elements than 'It's time to make up your mind".

In August 2017, Ghostly International will reissue Com Truise's Cyanide Sisters EP in premium 12' jacket. The first official Com Truise release — originally a digital download through AMDISCS in 2010, remastered and expanded by Ghostly in 2012 — Cyanide Sisters was an electrifying introduction to a prodigious new talent. At the time Seth Haley was a designer by trade, making music out of his bedroom in Princeton, New Jersey with a collection of analogue equipment. While many of his contemporaries were mining nostalgia as an end unto itself, Haley recombined older musical forms as a means of expressing something deeper and more ambitious, building a carefully conceived picture of the artist's vibrant inner world.

Cyanide Sisters is perhaps even more singular and satisfying now in the context of the Com Truise discography: as the terrestrial starting place, prior to the launch of a space saga (Galactic Melt up through Iteration). The collection's beauty lies somewhere between IDM, '80s synth-pop, Factory Records, classic Italo disco synthesizers, and glitch electronica, soaking its opening title track with thick, damp ambience and a slow, chunky drum-machine groove. Soon, the sound dries off, lightening into a suite of sun-drenched textures and constantly unraveling song structures— a sonic imprint that only grows and blossoms as the album progresses. The vocals that echo throughout Pyragony' bounce from the ethereal to the robotic, always melting into a slow-churned blend of melodic fire and digital molasses. Despite his ever-present melancholy, Com Truise is playful throughout, dusting Norkuy' with disco-ball flecks and putting the top down for the convertible cruise of Space Dust.' The EP closes with Innerfacer,' a trippy synth experiment that revisits the vibe of the release's opener and brings the record full circle. Even in expanded form, Com Truise's Cyanide Sisters EP is a complete work, meticulously conjuring nostalgia for its multifarious influences while filtering them through a modern aesthetic for younger, hungrier ears

A new chapter from Marco Bailey. Welcome to the new MATERIA world.

Marco Bailey's MATERIA has already put itself in techno map for good by growing rapidly to one of the most remarkable techno projects in our modern history through its monumental events all around the world. Being extremely ambitious obviously by getting the genes by its father and creator, Marco Bailey, MATERIA couldn't hold its demons of overly dominating techno in every possible way and is taking the next step of being also a record label so it can distribute the special vibe of its events to the home of every clubber in the world. Of course no one could write the first page of its new chapter better than Marco Bailey himself where he offers the awe-inspiring ''Return of Ryuu EP'' including also 2 wondrous remixes by the ingeniously talented producers, Edit Select & Conrad Van Orton. Welcome to the new MATERIA world.

die neue cocoon records !!! straight techno & dark electro mit einer verzerrten Stimme von eimen Serienkiller der seine Morde gesteht...

After a few months of silence following head honcho Marco Shuttle's "Sing Like a Bird (Reprise)" EP, Eerie Records is back on duty with a strong and utterly refreshing techno release by talented artist Serena Butler, an obscure producer digged out of the "submerged underworld" as it already happened previously on Shuttle's imprint that got us used to releases by relatively unknown and underrated artists. Arpeggiated synth lines layered on booming reverbed kick drums mixed with percussive elements of distorsion and lush pads make for a very playable release that is at the same time dreamy and deep, despite being also very organically "open sounding", musical, and in many ways counter-trend and different to the dominating dark droning techno style that is so popular these days.

After the timely and well received reissue of 'Upekah' in 2013, son.sine is back with new material for the first time in 15 years on the Delsin label. A maven of slow release, organic dub techno, these new tracks prove son.sine still has plenty to say. Up first, 'A Candle' is a super deep and seductive track with big hits, bouncy drums and rich, rounded synth stabs that hypnotise and warm for nine great minutes. 'An Island' is then a more heady and atmospheric track with propulsive, lumpy percussion, vinyl crackle and textural static that sooths the brain and lowers you into a more reflective state of mind. Finally, 'A Room' is the most techno of the lot - with wobbly synths, clacking drums and lots of horizontal pads it rolls on and on, deeper and deeper as distant pads evolve from feeling rueful to the edge of unease. It's a masterclass in tension and long form dub music that proves son.sine should have never gone away in the first place.

Double LP of new material from New Jersey musician, Unearth Noise. The album compiles selected compositions made over the last three years.
As a kid Roger Berkowitz was inspired by the celestial sounds of Ravi Shankar's strings, an album that was introduced to him by his father who was an engineer for RCA. In his youth he played in various punk bands and dabbled in experimental music after being exposed to the likes of John Cage, Harry Partch, Brian Eno and Mahavishnu.

Around 25 years ago while experimenting in his basement with tapes loops, his 1/4" reel to reel and a 4-track, the name Unearth Noise was born albeit shortly lived as over the next decade his focused turned to songwriting and playing the guitar and drums in various ensembles. He wrote and recorded songs that mixed rock and folk influences in an experimental manner. These were made available online under various monikers Sugar Skulls, Ancient Aliens and Shadowface.

A few years ago Roger began exploring the forms of the instrumental pieces he had created, mixing these with elements of eastern music and rock aesthetics, which had influenced and inspired so much of his sonic journey.

"I remembered my tape loops and the unearth noise episode. Recalling this, I changed my project name to Unearth Noise and set about trying to create something which I considered totally unheard in music. I delved back into the world of pure sound attempting to create a sonic experience that could challenge or subvert reality. I am a firm believer in the idea that what we take for reality on a day to day basis is a facade. Having experimented a bit with hallucinogens, I could see clearly that there is far more here than meets the eye. Listening to people like Alan Watts, it is gratifying to know that I am not alone in this belief. So, what I'm attempting to do with music, hopefully not in a forced or pretentious way, is open the mind to an alternate or deeper reality beyond this world. To this end, my compositional techniques and forms are non­traditional and often non­linear. I use instruments of my own design and construction, and blend them with source tapes, electronics, and sometimes conventional instruments'.

Atmospheric and ambient dub master Yagya serves up Stars and Dust, his seventh full length album and second on Delsin. It finds the Icelandic artist perfectly pair melody and minimalism to create ten more tender tracks that will sooth both body and mind with a range of very real emotions. Electronic but organic, it is another complete work that encourages you to lay back and get lost in sumptuous sound.

Seth Troxler's agenda setting Play It Say It label is back with more summer heat, this time from Detroit based duo Ataxia.
Hailing from Detroit, this pair has recently played the famous Movement Festival in their home city for the fifth time; work with top labels like Nervous Records and Culprit LA and have already impressed with a fine EP on Leftroom this year. Their sound is designed to get the party started, and after already releasing on this label in 2016 they are now back with three more essential tracks.
Up first, the terrific 'Time Original' is a fluid and wriggling tech cut with busy synth lines scurrying about over driving drums. It's dark and freaky with poised chord stabs and the whole thing cannot fail to get floors moving.
Then comes 'Supertouch', which is a superbly slick acid number. Weird bleeps and clipped vocals add an unhinged edge to the urgent rubbery drums and the whole thing is a mind melting number that will take any set to the next level.
Last of all is the vital 'Villains', seven inventive minutes of gurgling bass, alien sound design and wonky synth lines that all warp around each other and melt your mind as they do so. Colourful and full of character thanks to a rapped vocal line, this one is a real party anthem in the making.
Across all three cuts here this talented duo really show off their wide range of studio skills in some style.

I discovered Benoit B through his own label - Banlieue records. He's part of a new breed of young French producers who make music without any hang-ups and that are inspired by the entire history of House and Techno and everything in-between. I liked the combination of club beats with a deep, super melodic approach. The 6 tracks featured here almost make up an entire album that reflects Benoit's skills and sense of production. Everything is here -from Ambient experiments to heavyweight club tracks and beyond. Here, bear witness to the new sound of France (even though he lives in Berlin!)

Finally repressed!
Chris Liberator the Acid techno legend and workaholic DJ teams up with the amazing Sterling Moss Racetrax records for another collaboration to go with their Bored Of Minimal recent release for Stay Up Forever.

Jacob Long's newest recordings under the Earthen Sea moniker deepen his compelling synthesis of shadowy rhythms and opaque atmospherics, drawing on the most potent qualities of melancholic ambient and dub techno.

An Act Of Love' follows 2015's Ink,' released via Ital's Lovers Rock imprint,
and was inspired by internal tribulations and the experience of exploring an empty nocturnal metropolis. Careful waves of tones drift and decay, beats materialize and pulse across twilit landscapes, a noir mood reigns.

Given Long's background as bassist for revelatory tribal-punk trio Mi Ami, An Act Of Love' showcases a musician in the midst of transcendent redefinition, crafting an immersive language of texture and motion.

From Jacob Long:
This record was made over the course of the most emotionally difficult and stressful year in my life thus far. As such, it is both a reflection of that experience and also something that gave me space to begin working through issues to see a way forward, to a better place both psychically and physically.

An idea that was also central to my thoughts while creating the album was the concept and reality of being out in the city at night, wandering around a large urban area after dark - the contrast of empty streets but with life still going on all around, and the openness and possibilities that can bring. This music was an attempt to capture that feeling.

After the glowing success of Bouffmyhre's first album on Sleaze, we decided to put together a remix EP featuring new mixes of tracks selected from the album. On the A-side, Hans himself has produced a 2014 remake of Fortress, while PoleGroup's Oscar Mulero provides a classy remix of Bring It Back.

Flipping over we have Rebekah's version of Fourteen, which perfectly demonstrates her pounding, dungeon-like style. Italian producer Giorgio Gigli delivers a dark & droning remix of Dominator, to round off this excellent release.

Scott Monteith's 10th Deadbeat album, Walls & Dimensions,is now available through his own BLKRTZ label.

Comprising 8 tracks and featuring vocal contributions from a diverse range of Berlin based artists, as well as for the first time Deadbeat himself, this 10th outing sees Monteith elegantly showcasing his wide ranging musical interests with a striking new sense of gravity and cutting lyricism not seen in his previous works.

A wise old curmudgeon once said that all great art is born of great suffering, and if that sentiment holds true this album has had plenty of fuel for it's proverbial fire.' Says Monteith of the writing process . The last month of 2014 and first half of this year were not kind to me and my family to say the least. Thankfully I was able to turn to music and writing to work through those feelings over the last year, and found some absolutely lovely people to voice them when I wasn't 't up to the task of expressing them myself. '

Featuring guest vocal contributions from Fink, Delhia de France, and Elif Becir, as well as cello performances by Maarten Vos, Walls & Dimensions sees Monteith exploring all facets of his musical interest with deadly focus and passion, from pure ambient drones, to heart felt reggae blues, and dubbed out late night club bangers.

Brand new label out of London receiving transmissions from across the celestial sphere and translating them into beautiful techno for the good people of Planet Earth. Proud to report that the first transmission comes courtesy of the mighty John Shima (Firescope, Boe Recordings, Contrast Wax, Diametric). 4 beautifully melodic and timeless tracks with nods to the golden age of Detroit and UK Techno. .Recommended for fans of Stasis, B12, As One, Black Dog and early Warp... No digital..

Minimood welcomes Copenhagen based master duo MERV for two tantalising new tracks, and thus continues the reductionist dub techno stance the label has been advocating lately. After 2 decades of silence, this new EP marks MERV's first new material and suggests that they have lost none of their magic touch. BLANK I is nine minutes of expert and exquisite dub techno. The kicks ping with an infectious thump, the dub chords are fantastically crisp and well crafted as they float in space and swallow up the drums. Widescreen and edgeless, warm dubby techno. BLANK II is a equally stripped-back and elegant dub techno affair as BLANK I, yet with a more upright and direct twist. Slapping hits and lively chords are riding above the rolling, loopy drums. A ride that will guide through the deepest nights. Vinyl Only!

The first Clouded Vision Recordings release of 2017 comes from label owner Matt Walsh teaming up with Stratowerx AKA Sam Russo. The EP is completed with a remix from one of Matt's long-term studio partners, Scott Fraser, who makes a long awaited debut on the label.
The three tracks were recorded over the course of 2016, with the two producers sending parts back and forth via email and the result sees a clear middle ground of minimalistic analogue electro and techno. Scott's Surface Pressure Remix turns the first track 'No Function' into a dark Drexciyan electro brooder, rounding off the EP very nicely indeed.

Snakes are Poor Denizens of Hell

Fast, driving and hypnotic Techno by Tomas Kunkel from Argentina.

Utter presents RGBPM, Trevor Jackson's four piece audio-visual work originally commissioned for a live
performance at the Optronica Festival in 2007, on London's IMAX, the biggest screen in the UK.
Optronica, programmed by Addictive TV/Cinefeel in collaboration with the British Film Institute, held its
econd festival over fve consecutive days at the IMAX, ICA and BFI Southbank in March 2007. A showcase
of the most exciting talent working in visual music, Optronica's 2007 event was a platform for live
performances, talks, screenings and workshops from the likes of Fennesz, Peter Greenaway and
Ryoichi Kurokawa.
Jackson's piece took over six months to develop and yet was performed only once. On March 14th the
premier of RGBPM opened the festival in spectacular fashion; Jackson performing the music live with its
accompanying HD visuals generated in real time using custom-built software created especially by
Weirdcore. A powerful multi-sensory experience, the event remains one of the defning moments of
Jackson's lengthy career.
The visuals consist of abstract shapes synchronised perfectly to Jackson's soundtrack. Choreographed to
epresent musical elements within each track, they explore the relationship between melody, colour, rhythm
nd form. The diverse soundtrack combines magical motorik experiments, demented acidic jams, melodic
ubterranean techno and dark discordant electronic soundscapes. It's a timeless selection of music that
holds its own to this day.
A decade on from RGBPM's lone airing, Utter is proud to release all four parts together for the frst time as a
special 12" package, mastered and cut by Helmut Erler at D&M and housed in a sleeve designed by
ackson himself. The record comes packaged with one of four signed prints, each representing one of the
our RGBPM pieces. These prints are limited to 100 copies per design and larger A2 editions will also become
available. A download code for all four RGBPM videos and music fles is included within the 12" sleeve.

Cosmic, artful dancefloor devastation, hard on the heels of one of the most interesting albums of 2016. Deep, dark psychedelia (Vision Animal), tribal murder (Proto World), blissful gamelan-style ambience (Spirit House), and a perfect Sunday-morning come-down, in the widescreen beauty of Hope, to close.

The second release in this series starts with the heavily supressed and hypnotic energy of Efdemin's Spiegelkerker remix on side A. Creating a dreamlike atmosphere, the track is carried by a slowly developing beat that keeps you totally engaged as it floats along. As a contrast, Psyk's remix of Miscellanous Pt.7 on B1, with its classic 909 drum appeal and engrossed pad harmonies, creates a very deep classical vibe worthy of a Black Dog reference. The final track, a remastered version of Morgenstern's Return Of The Living Deaf presents its pleasantly over-funked snare programming and build-ups that forge true techno' eclecticism and dance floor functionality into one mighty laser sword of a track.

Following on the heels of releases on labels as Etruria, Cocoon and Elevate, italian-based DAST makes his debut on OFF Recordings.

The EP kicks off with 'Raid Zone', a classic and timeless piece of spacy bigroom chord techno.

'System Failure' with its unsettling lead takes things more towards the latenight realm.

And Juan Sanchez delivers an even more stomping and peaktime interpretation of 'Raid Zone', perfect to 'destroy' festival dancefloors.

Dead Rail is a soundshaping railroad soaked in fog and cough.
Dead Rail is the breath that transforms light into smoke, smoke into brain waves and brain waves into some anamorphic sound blend.

Dead Rail is a walk through an eyeburning beat and runs on mandibular tracks.
Dead Rail is the dark corner of a party where the tones are stagnant in a motionless dynamic.
Dead Rail is the suspended activity of synapses while earing is driving the other senses.
Dead Rail is the dying frequency in your ear.
Dead Rail is noise from within.

CHIWAX proudly presents Dj Skull and his new release "The Drum".Ron Maney shows again his brilliant definition of Techno & House.

Illum Sphere's 2016 album Glass' was a focussed statement from the DJ and producer - a poised reflection on detachment and an assertion of his many talents. Now Glass has been reworked across two fresh 12' releases via Ninja Tune. For the second 12', album cut 'Red Glass' is partnered with Hieroglyphic Being's remix of the same track - following the release of his much sought after and critically acclaimed album for Technicolour Records, he provides a tranced out dispersion of the original. It shares it's slab of wax with Beau Wanzer's remake of 'Fuel The Fire' - the original becoming a stuttering, looping rhythm of brooding intensity. Limited to 500 copies and includes 'Wounded' Fotomachine Remix (digital download).

Early May will see Mihai Popoviciu return with his second long player in the shape of the
'Home' LP on Bondage music, comprising twelve original compositions from the Romanian artist.

Mihai Popoviciu : "The album's called "home" because it is inspired by my experiences from my home city Sibiu in Romania. Home is also the place where the album was produced, in my stripped down studio. It is where I always return to rest and chill after touring the world and the place where I feel most safe and comfortable. The artwork shows an image of the airport lane in Sibiu with surrounding hills and mountains in the back. It is a metaphoric "gate" to both leave and return home."

Romania's Mihai Popoviciu has carved out quite the career over the past decade releasing material through the likes of Highgrade, Hudd Traxx, Poker Flat and Fear of Flying. Here though we see him deliver his second full-length album and return to Bondage Music following a single on the label back in
2013.

Across the project Mihai delivers his signature dance floor focused, stripped back style with records like
'ACK', 'Sandstone Folder' and 'Tentacle Operated' showcasing the hypnotic and percussive style
Popoviciu executes so well. The project also drifts into smooth dubby realms via compositions like
'Cannon Poets' and 'Sunshine' while the likes of 'Triumph' and 'Music 999' radiantly display Mihai's proficient production abilities as he wanders into a brighter more house centric sound.

All in all Mihai Popoviciu turns in a coherent long player whilst exploring a broad range of styles, 'Focus and 'Havana' lay down a groove-led feel with subtle modulations and an unfaltering structure, while
'Data On Data', 'Paranoia' and 'Hypnosia' tip the focus over to dark and brooding territories with murky synth pads and chuggy low end tones. Once again Popoviciu has proven himself to be one of Romania's finest electronic music exports.

Philipp Gorbachev's sophomore solo album continues the narrative of his previously released trilogy on Cómeme, and serves as the inaugural LP on his own PG TUNE imprint. From imaginary places like The Delta, down to the dirty District, and with reverence for the heritage of the Russian avant ­ garde, 'Unlock The Box' pictures a static and demodulated dance floor. Welcome to the 5th New Century.

Finding ourselves in a confusing time, the essential urge and necessity to communicate love becomes as exhausting as hunting for diesel in Mad Max. The remains of global capitalism's overkill and marginal religious fanatics merge together as the ultimate threat to the human experience and can remind us that things can so easily spin out of control. We are also reminded of our elemental humanity; the need for love and dedication to each other, which can be so easy to forget when we lock our own boxes.

'Unlock The Box' embodies the sound of a passionate young human being forced to create new tools to secure human existence in the future. In the 5th New Century, only one rule counts: love is limitless.

With the recording process involving a wide range of digital and analog instruments, PG approached the album with his signature hybrid production. Similarly, his lyrics travel between both English and Russian, continuing the innovative linguistic style from the 'Silver Album'.

Early versions of these tracks have been field tested during a Russian PG tour last year, and take inspiration from the morning dance floor vibes and feelings. These experiences helped shape the concept of #DAYTIMERAVING: not a time of day, but an attitude. That light which shines independently from day or night, on a dancefloor and outside of it.

Love is the message

October will find Delsin release a new EP from Voiski entitled Breaths Written Outside Gloom that features four cuts of the Frenchman's trademark techno. Before now he has released solo and with various others on labels such as LIES and Syncrophone and always manages to cook up gurgling grooves and textured tracks that take you deep down the rabbit hole. Opener 'Downhearted Holidays' is all about a menacing bassline that looms large below jostling metal percussion and frazzled synth lines. It's spare and absorbing, inhuman and bleak in the most inviting way. 'Galaxy Call' is a more energetic affair with squeaking, pixelated and high pitched melodies squealing over a gloomy and gloopy bass line. Militant snares are upright and driven and the result is a track that sounds like the machines are taking over. 'Mathematical Park' is about mid tempo drums, paranoid synth drones and desolate urban soundscapes all run through with a sense of dark futurism and finally 'Answer Silently' is the slowest and swampiest of the lot. A growing sense of darkness permeates slithering synths, icy hi hats and lazy drums and there is a real air of foreboding through this and all the cuts here that make it perfect night time music.

Having established himself as a vital figure in the Brussels music scene, Biologic Records co-founder DC Salas
presents his debut album 'The Unspoken'. The 10-track LP features collaborations with fellow Belgian electropop
duo Joy Wellboy and Mirror Minds.
After a string of dancefloor oriented EPs, he draws inspiration from his live act and diverts away from the club to
explore the more melodic aspects of his sound. More than just a format, the album structure is used here as a
method of storytelling, using the spontaneity of live music making to express varying emotions without restraint.
Lead single 'Cala Falco' is a slow building track that treads carefully between warmth and melancholy, using subtle harmonic progressions to play with the mood of Joy Wellboy's vocals.

Title track takes cosmic melodies and layers them in polyrhythmic forms to hypnotic effect, whilst 'This Love'
uses skeletal percussion to carry retro-futurist melodies.

Many of the tracks produce textures that are only achievable with the use of hardware. From the sombre
harmonies and crisp drums of 'Victor' to the swelling tension of 'Enfant Bruit', DC Salas masterfully navigates his
equipment to create emotive and powerful sonic spectrums.

The entirety of the production process was done with close friends, including mixing by fellow label owner
Harold Boué (aka Abstraxion) and a video collaboration with Victor Pattyn.

For our landmark 100th release we welcome back Secluded for his second EP release on Sleaze Records.
Obstacle & Blocked are two stand-out tracks from his recent live set performances and we're excited to finally get them out as part of this special release. Including quality remixes by two very talented producers, Truncate & Subjected.

New Jersey's Green Village imprint return with the second Village Elders compilation, comprising
four original cuts from Thefft/TOYC, BD1982, Eighth Ruin and Etch.
Since 2014 Cloy, Em-Et and Hilla's Green Village vinyl only imprint has acted as a beacon for forward
thinking house, techno and bass music genre's alike, recruiting DJ Spider, Franklin De Costa, Dakini9,
Nicuri, plus more. Now stepping up with Village Elders 002, Green Village utilise a group of versatile UK
producers including Embassy's Thefft alongside Crazylegs' TOYC, Keysound's break scientist Etch,
mysterious producer Eighth Ruin, and Tokyo based BD1982 who co-runs Diskotopia.
Thefft and TOYC's 'Atlantic' opens the package with syncopated rhythms laced with jittery organic hits,
before spiralling sonics and twisted melodies get hooked into a rattling 808 sub line. BD1982 then steps up
with 'In '95', utilising sparse rhythms alongside tightly programmed loops and synthetic ambience to create
a 16-bit atmosphere before employing rolling subs to propel the cut forward.
Eighth Ruin then ups the ante with razor sharp percussion in 'Whip', which pulsates along its waveform
thanks to a warm undulating bass, aided by IDM-tinged synth breakdowns and pitched down vocals. Etch
then delivers his new-wave break science in 'Predator', layering loops alongside a hypnotic reese in tandem
with menacing vocals and glistening atmospherics.
Village Elders 002 drops on Green Village on 25th July 2017.

Wild Open Range frequencies... The precision of the digital and the warm bassy Vinyl sound...

A side runs 145 BPM I call that the magic speed, where you escape techno and hardcore... the heart of the party.... Because this is a party tune! Acid Horns are mediums and some swords of charley cut you in two pieces... To bring you back to the massive Kick gambling with stridents ambiances of saturations, without killing your ears though...

B side goes about 155 BPM... and brings a pure chaos of dancefloor structures, breakin' all the time push again... Rare Techno style !

Exciting Adult Core Music !!!

Bas Mooy steps up for his debut EP, after his superb rework of Hans Bouffmyhre's Easy Meat track last year. Bleeds & Shanks are both upfront, no nonsense techno tracks with a raw distorted vibe.
For remixes we have two Glasgow based artists! Firstly, Hans returns the favour with a bass heavy and hypnotic remix of Bleeds. Edit Select makes his first appearance on Sleaze after his flawless album on Prologue Music. He does what he knows best with a deep, druggy remix of Bleeds.

Boutique Polish vinyl imprint Astropical Tapes returns for a second outing following the widespread acclaim of Astro Buhloone's inaugural effort Forever with an EP from label boss, Marcin Krupa.

Spa House is named after Krupa's hometown Konstancin-Jeziorna, which is a historic spa resort on the outer reaches of Warsaw's administrative area. The EP is a fittingly soothing affair, from the resplendent strings and vocal harmonies that adorn the rolling title track to the loose, early morning mellowness of Jeziorna. Remixes of the latter come from Universo, who opts for a distorted, acid-licked melodic version, and Studio Barnhus signing Naphta, who chops up a broken beat and woozy chords to discordant effect.

Early support from: Axel Boman, Detroit Swindle, Jimpster, Nachtbraker, Frits Wentink, Loz Goddard, Daniel Drumz

limited repress !

Four edges of a circle are defined by four different but closely intertwined pieces authored by four very special artists.
Why So Series 02 provides a broken and diverse dimension through a selection of tracks that range from the glitchy subtleties of Mierea Dor's Teleparty, the driving and bold force of Lizz's Secbor, all the way to Sublee's delicate and gentle touch with That Same Feeling and ending on a tribalesque and mystical note with Rojid's Saiyan.
Either taken as a whole, or just as a a V.A. - WSS 02 aims to surprise and jolt you in all the right directions.

Vinyl only, 180 gramm & original artwork

Branching out further and deeper into contemporary electronic music, UVAR brings forth the first release of their limited edition series with an 8 tracker designed with the specific concept of blending together an immersive experience through sound and musical ideology.
UVAR LTD 001 gathers some of the most appreciated up and coming producers in Romania with Vid, Sepp, Nu Zau, Andrey Kharitonov, Cosmjn and Lizz alongside Miami newcomers Rojid & Idana.

From alpha to omega, the LP caters to a wide variety of dancefloor and home listening experiences, accomplishing what we set out to with our very first releases through this compilation...
Music, unadulterated & raw in a vinyl only format, 180 gramm.

Æ is the third part of Bjarki triptych of LPs to be released this year. Æ is a particularly Icelandic form, pronounced I' in English, Bjarki thinks it just looks good. Here it is a selection of music that is at its core quite simple, with restrained instrumentation, made on hardware and features a selection of older works and the most recent produced just weeks ago.

Bjarki is from Iceland. Born and raised. Despite the fact that Bjarki is known for making extremely powerful dance floor tracks he doesn't seem to belong to any particular genre. Something this triptych of LPs demonstrates very well. His music is at times cinematic and there's a story behind each track. Bjarki's music always has something to do with him personally, but he'd rather the listener lose themselves in the music than pay much attention to the man behind them. Either on a record or to one of his ever evolving live sets.

C.Vogt's and Patrick Jeremics minds work in loopy circles. Endless grooves that take you off in to the wild blue.
Vilá is by far the strongest of the bunch. Capturing that moment where the sun peaks over the horizon in some far off land. Reminiscent of the days when trance wasn't a dirty word.
Vice takes you up in to a place where people's faces beam with positive emotion. Trippy melodies roll the track ever forward while snapshot samples of the cops radio communications drift in and out of the tight groove.
Ekstasis is a head nodding, eyes closed journey towards your inner self. Listen to the guru and do what he says.
Get Weird People!

Airglow Fires' is the first new Lone material to emerge since his masterful 'Galaxy Garden' album, his most complete body of work to date.
Departing from the themes of the rave/hardcore revival and cinematic interstellar travel, 'Airglow Fires' sees him exploring a more considered and intimate sound alongside a rediscovered love of classic hip-hop, as he explains "I love hip hop and house music when it's at it's rawest - to me 'Airglow Fires' has that kind of 90's basement vibe to it, where the lines between the two genres are kind blurred".
As a comeback single, 'Airglow Fires' has certainly been worth the wait - arriving just in time to surely nestle its way into all discerning DJ's record boxes this summer - from the opening celestial melodies to the insistent processions of jazz inflected chords dance around the crunchy proto house drums that shuddering sub bass it's obvious that this track has golden sunshine in its DNA.
On the flip 'Begin To Begin' explores similar territory to 'Airglow Fires' but wears its charms in a more subdued, but no less infectious manner - a repeating hypnotic chord stab, draped with burbling synth melodies and yet more tough drums combine for a sumptuous and mesmeric listen - as the song says "am I dreaming am I awake" - with music like this to soundtrack your dreams, who would want to wake up

Meda Fury is proud to welcome back Moscow's finest OL aka Oleg Buyanov for another EP of East-European dance floor paranoia. OL has been busy since his last EP for MF - helping to start the hotly tipped vinyl only Moscow based label GostZvuk (), as well as recent sought after transmissions on Wilson Records. More moody, nostalgic and atmospheric than his most recent releases, 'Jungle TV's smudged textures occupy a similar space to the rhythmic shamanism of Hieroglyphic Being as well as the organic and hypnotic vibes of the legendary Drexciyan Other People Place project.
Opener and title track 'Jungle TV' sets the pace with thick bass & beats and winsome waterlogged cassette pads, radioactive shuffler 'Hand Plant' comes on like a lost Basic Channel cut with it's spiralling delays and jacked loops, dubbed out minimal jam 'Yellow Eyes' with its pounding toms and spatial groove feels like a vintage Mood II Swing dub, closing out with 'Bandit' displays a narcoleptic lo-fi pulse and enviable bass boom.
'Jungle TV' EP for Meda Fury could well be his finest work to date - realising all of his signature elements into one mesmerising whole.

Here we have the very special return of the synonymous Tom Blip to the Blip Discs label since 2015's endlessly re-pressed 'Wrong Guanco'. Sentimental Strings kicks off with notes of early 2000s Daft Punk hands-up-in-the-air euphoria before politely cannonading into hints of Theo Parrish kick-drum chaos midway through, whilst a commingling of orchestral disco sample heaven, twinkly scintillation and sonic messages from the stars constitutes the B side, There Were No Signs. Early support coming in strong from Midland, Gerd, Francis Inferno Orchestra and more...

Forgotten Idols lie smashed and scattered across the floor. Dissonant undercurrents coerce a riptide of shattered beats as Duran Duran Duran speeds into sight and docks directly into your neurological pathways.
Tracks swarm into your mind effortlessly dismantling the techno mainframe. Refracted acid takes 'Sexus' to a place where famished ghosts leer at each other across a mist-infused steam room. Repeated listenings reveal new fissures, fresh layers emerge as we scrape away at the glacial enormity of this techno scree-face. Redemption is in sight as we take a final pasting on 'Marathon Man', a track so banging as to provoke a wry smile on the face of any seasoned raver. At its climax it screeches under the weight of its intensity, flinging its subjects into a feral transcendence.

Marwan Sabb and Illan Nicciani are essential figures on Parisian techno and house underground scene.
Booth as Dj-s and producers, Marwan and Illan left an indelible mark releasing for labels such as Sci-Tec, Time Has Change and sharing decks together with names like Fumiya Tanaka, Martin Buttrich, Arpiar, Sonja Moonear and many other.
Aya Baba presents tight, deep and filled with emotion minimal techno track.
Notably Aya Baba places special emphasis on smoothness and the warmth of the track.
We chose a diverse selection of remixes for Aya Baba starting with our old friends Bunte Bummler and their well known sound which stretches throughout the remix.
Deep house version of Aya Baba is masterfully done by amazing Copenhagen based Nandu. With cutting edge releases, on labels such as Constant Circles, Kindisch and OFF Recordings, we are immensely proud to have him on the Baile Musik.
For the end comes minimal masterpiece by our residents Guanlong. A non-conceptual project called Guanlong are two very strange objects, a two lovers between nowadays and the world in the past.

Working his craft since the late 90s as both a DJ and producer, Ritzi Lee has built a solid reputation and stayed true to the raw techno music he first fell in love with. He has delivered trademark productions on his own Underground Liberation imprint, Diego Hostettler and Dave Ellesmere's Belief System and Ben Sims' Theory Recordings, amongst others.

'There's a fine line between all the music I ever released', Ritzi Lee explains. 'A kind of tension building up, using different layers before reaching a climax - just as with my DJ sets, it's something of a trademark sound. I don't want to follow a formula or do what everyone else is doing, I try to follow my own path without getting distracted by hypes or trends in the music.'

Maintaining this ethos, his new EP opens with the stomping groove of 'Fire', rippling over your speakers with power and progression. Stimulus man, Paul Mac delivers his reworking next, bringing 'Fire' down a deeper path, but keeping up the momentum. On 'Super Modular' Ritzi Lee takes a more measured approach with sonic high jinx, but no less of a driving beat. The vinyl version closes on the chugging 'Air', a stripped-back beast of a workout...

Inner Surface Music are very proud to present our 10th release. We mark the occasion with the double pack compilation ´Replicants´. Our secret agents for this mission are Sleeparchive, O/H, Perc, Honzo, Gaja, Takaaki Itoh, Ontal and Sturqen.

Sleeparchive starts the journey with ´Plates´ - a stone cold techno vision with an industrial aesthetic of concrete filled textures and tension setting a dark paranoid atmosphere.

O/H slow the tempo with ´All Flesh´ but not the intensity. The track has rhythmic noise and acid elements twisting to the mutated punk vocals and kick drums.

Perc heads straight into a black hole with ´Hiding From Carl` - thunderous kicks and percussion set the controls for the centre of the dark star as we drive towards the white light and the noise rises.

Honzo´s alien like ´Dissociated Identities´ grooves with slow mechanical distorted drums and laser like sequences as metallic guitars and strings soar into the stratosphere.

Gaja transports us into a parallel universe with ´Noys Lambert´ - techno for time travellers. Rugged drum machines and battle weapons propel us into the trajectory of the geometric sequence patterns and sonic waveforms.

Takaaki Itoh transports us back to the ´Present´ - bass oscillations metamorphose around kick drums and the syncopated percussion slithers its way into the darkest depths of the underworld.

Ontal go out on full attack with ´Spasm´ - industrial oldschool drums crash and bang to the rave fuelled sirens demolishing and pulling every structure in its path apart.

Sturqen finish the journey with ´Cota´ - industrial landscapes fuelled with cyber punks and narcotic rages set the scene with distorted guitar riffs and broken machine drums entering the final void...

The Black Mask - SNTS debuts on Horo in the wake of his experimental leaning 'Losing Sight' LP. EP opener 'Origin Of Light' dazzles with it's shimmering waves of corrosive ambience, while 'Ancestral Reflection' and 'Figures In The Mist' are more familiar, vital SNTS dance-floor rituals, built with the inherent SNTS intoxication. 'Resurgence' notches up the intensity to close the EP with a grinding heave

The 2nd release from I Walked by Night comes firing out of the southside of Glasgow. A young man by the name of The Burrell Connection has been flying under the radar for a few years now... A Perth native / Glasgow immigrant has been making music since he was 15, his first release came via West End Communications (003) in 2015. Since then he has released most recently with Craigie Knowes on the amazing 2nd annual War Child fundraiser along with Legowelt, Shanti Celeste, Neville Watson and many more. 'Southside' was made with a Juno 6, Yamaha Dx21, Roland TR8, Korg MiniLogue and twisting samples and recording most tracks in one take with little post editing. This EP oozes raw energy and shows off a delicate deft touch. After debuting at the Warehouse Project in 2016, The Burrell Connection will be producing his first live show in 2017.

The Exaltics are back with new transmissions from their universe in form of the second part of "Das Heise Experiment". The first part from 2013 on Abstract Acid will see his follow up end of 2017 on 2xLP inclusive a Comic book about the story of the Heise Experiment. This amazing looking shape picture disc, developed with the dutch artist Godspill aka Mehdi Rouchiche, is "The Prequel" release and sees The Exaltics in assault mode. Side A brings a stomper in typical exaltics style with deep strings and a pumping bassline like an alien invasion which is on course to earth. Side B begins with a cryptic alien speech signal transmitted direct from the universe whilst the second track is a collaboration track with non other than Dopplereffekt's Rudolf Klorzeiger. Both artists together create a timeless electro voyage with sharp snares and fast running basslines and combine their both styles perfectly together. Every record comes with a download code for the release itself and 3 exclusive bonus tracks. This release is strictly limited to 500 copies. The outer contour of the picture is also the contour of the record and makes this release to something really special and to a high collectable item.

Third instalment of UVB's label Body Theory. Techno for those who do not believe.

Felix Fleer, Rythen, Jonas Landwehr, Parasian labelhead AWB and New York based Groove Selecta feature on Raw Imprint's second vinyl release. The five-track various-artists EP will drop September 9th. Early support from Rodhad, Inigo Kennedy and more.

Felix Fleer, Jonas Landwehr, Rythen, Environ., and Alderaan feature on Raw Imprint's third vinyl release. The five-track various artist EP will drop May 5

Felix Fleer starts of the A-side by exploring his roots in classical music through implementing a grand piano into a rhythmically challenging yet hypnotic techno weapon in an seemingly effortless manner. Jonas Landwehr continues diving deeper into his fascination for airy pad sounds and unique percussion styles that are not less silky than they are warm and powerful. Rythen closes the A-side with an electrifying and stomping floorkiller. Under their Environ. moniker Rythen & Felix Fleer open up the B-side by revisiting the previously encountered piano theme in a more club oriented way. The last words on this release are spoken by Alderaan, one of the most promising newcomers of the currently flourishing techno scene from Buenos Aires. With 'Clarity' he delivers a tooly, yet psychedelic techno trip.

Since it was very hard to grow musically or in any other artistic way in regard of our surroundings, we always had a need to find inspiration somewhere else. Things that were a given for some were far fetched and hard to come by. A distant dream. That's why we decided to go forward. A final push to reach the place we wanted to be. A place we can call home.

Submissive seems to be my pick! Thanks!

Aelfric Michael Avery has been a self-reliant artist for a long time. The Canadian producer has been exploring underground acid and rough, homemade techno since releasing his first material as Avery Monarch back in 1994. However it wasn't until more than ten years later that his music would surface again on his own Napalm Enema label. Varied projects such as Electrokinesia and Crown Jewel have yielded scores of digital EPs and albums, while Napalm Enema has also carried work by the likes of FaltyDL, Paul Blackford and Mrs Jynx. Avery has released just as much music under his Acid Elf guise, most notably appearing alongside +10 Acid Crew (Jodey Kendrick) for the sought-after Bruvs Acid EP, and now the alias makes a welcome return to vinyl with four essential tracks from the archives. There's a subdued, hypnotic and delirious quality to the productions on this EP for Arma, ranging from the uneasy delay pulses of 'Fetus' to the metallic clamour of 'Urban Wasteland', but most importantly they're all injected with a distinctive personality that stands apart from the 303-tweaking masses. This is undoubtedly acid music, but it crackles with an energy far removed from the same cookie-cutter Chicago knock-off formula that so many turn out these days. Talking about the creation of these tracks, Avery explained that they were recorded between 2009 and 2010 in Parksville, a town by the ocean on Vancouver Island. The equipment list used for the sessions includes many perennial favourites such as the 606, 707, 808, 909, Jupiter 6, 101, 303, MS-20 and a Dopefer modular, all run through an erratic RE-201 Space Echo for extra analogue crust.

New Amsterdam based label Native Response debuts with a delicate yet forceful 3-track EP by Nathan Surreal and KAAP on remix duty. Stockholm packs a peak-time punch, while Emo Effect is one for the more hypnotising moments on the dance floor. The analog bomb remix by KAAP smashes 808 kicks and snares all over the place. Native Response 001 is limited available on 12" vinyl.

After releases on Fifth Wall and Grizzly, Physical Therapy returns for a follow up to the first release on his own Allergy Season label, with the EP "Million Years Crushed." Three cuts of maximal electronic dance music, along with a deep retrofit from Berghain resident Norman Nodge.


The title track delivers a confident, club-ready message from the Planet Love. Nodge (Ostgut Ton, Marcel Dettmann Records) flips the track into a crackling 8:05 AM dub. On the b-side, "Val E of the Dolls" coats pounding 16x16 techno with distant house pianos and "American Cream" makes a muscular layer cake of percussive synths.


The digital version of the EP includes "Salad Dressing," a cut of shuffling, ecstatic house.


Available for public consumption both in both digital and vinyl on April 7. Be sure to take with lots of water and do not operate heavy machinery within 8 hours of listening.

Debut EP by Reckonwrong on the Pinkman label!

* Following up his debut 12" for the label in 2015, the Parisian brings his varied tastes to this diverse four tracker.

* From the hazy bumping rhythms of 'Gliding' to the pulsating strobed snare assault of 'Away From Keyboard', these razor edge productions demonstrate exactly why he's been tipped by so many as one to watch.

Originally released earlier this year in the spring of 2017. The prolific JASON LETKIEWICZ returns under his alias for a suite of post- apocalyptic jack tracks. Across the labels like L.I.E.S, FUTURE TIMES & ECHOVOLT, he has spent the last decade exploring dimensional rifts between Techno, House, Ambient & more. Now landing on Chicago label CLEAR

Label owner, Christian Gerlach recruited the young and very talented Alfredo Mazzilli, which already showed his skills with his latest releases on Edit Select Records or Planet Rhythm. In the EP, which is dedicated to the Babylonian gods, Alfredo takes us into worlds of sound that reminds us of a run through the jungle and arrivals at mighty temples. Shamash opens the EP and prepares the mood for an ritual which is gonna to be celebrated. Wrong Assessment focuses the piece in its core, but in a deeper way and holds on to a heavy baseline. Ishtar reminiscent of an ceremony and the ep reaches its climax which is also continued in the Iori remix. The high­energy piece Marduck could be considered as an joyfully extract from this distant world.
With This Packet lanthan Audio combines the heavy architecture of old temples, but with an ease that welcomes the coming months with joyful anticipation.

A double A-side torrent of vintage 1995 acid-tinged jack in the form of 'You Make Me Function' and 'Fun House'. Drummy madness for the most unhinged hours of the dance.

After a first Album on cassette in 2016, lekande releases his first threetracker on Vinyl.

A1 starts with a light melody and a catchy groove. The melody runs through the whole track and carries the feeling of the ride.

A2 is a hypnotic spacewalk with the bassline being in the background - splendid for the morning hours after the big rave.

The B-Side of the EP is a 15 minutes' wave of atmospheric Techno. No more words needed.

Moon Boots presents his debut album 'First Landing', including the new single 'Keep The Faith' featuring Nic Hanson, and the BBC Radio 1 supported singles 'Tear My Heart', 'The Life Aquatic' and 'Red Sky'.

Sharivari Records is back with its 14th release, by Lyon-based producer Noma, part of the Palma Sound System and half of D104. From slow & raw trippy marching theme, to some fast & acid techno anthem, including a 10-minutes psychedelic & analogue techno trip from the great duet Nummer. Recommended.

The Spanish native premiers his first release on Truesoul records, 'Moti On', a 4 track EP packed with punchy tech house beats and rolling basslines. The EP comes fully loaded with his signature sound, some dark vocals and melodic synths. Uniformed in their approach, the 4 tracks are laced with catchy hooks and casual percussion.

Radio Slave readies a double A-side to mark the 100th release on Rekids this February.
Having recently celebrated ten years, the consistency of music on Matt Edwards' Rekids is indisputable with releases from Nina Kraviz, Mr. G, David Morales, Peggy Gou and DJ Deep to name a few. Aside from his A&R abilities Edwards' extensive understanding of electronic music is evident in his various pseudonyms. Amongst these Radio Slave is easily his most illustrious and most fitting for the seminal label's milestone 100th release.

Containing all the hallmarks of a Radio Slave production, 'Another Club' merges looped vocals with thudding kicks as echoing stabs and infectious hats work their magic. On the flip, 'Feel The Same' is a funky slice of Detroit inspired house.
Early support from Chris Liebing, Ryan Elliot, DJ Hell, Gerd Janson, Laurent Garnier, DJ Deep, Markus Suckut..

Kevin Saunderson's KMS imprint is a label that should require no introduction. The motor city label has been a Techno mainstay since it's inception in 1987. Numerous Detroit luminaries have released classic after classic on the labels hallowed grooves over the last 25+ years and it's influence is still felt in contemporary dance music today. The idea behind the KMS "Origins" series is to shine a light on the lesser known cuts in the KMS vaults as well as the classics that have given the label it's legendary status during it's lifetime. Hot on the heels of the previous collections for the label, the 'Origins' series presents another stellar selection of jams from the legendary Detroit label's archives.

Opening the EP is K.A. Posse aka Kaay Alexi, a legendary producer whose 'Tell Alexi' features here, a raw, low slung acid burner with sultry vocals and tough as nail drum programming from 1989. Killer stuff indeed. Following that we have the Jovonn Blade mix of Terrence Parker's The Lost Articles jam 'Touch Me Baby' from 1993 - some classic Detroit early proto-beatdown sounds, rough and ready and still doing damage today. On the flip is the stone cold banger 'Flash' by FIX aka Orlando Voorn, this demented P-Funk ripper never quits and is a monster! Classic material. Finishing things off is the MK mix of Nexus 21's 'Still Life Keeps Moving On', it doesn't get any bigger than this, pure heat. Pretty much an all-star line up on vol. 4, a perfect release for the novice and expert alike! File under classic, all tracks encapsulate the Detroit sound while retaining that raw energy and vibe that this music is famous for! Heat!
