The vision of techno is presented by seven producers from electronic music scene of Poland.
The well-known artists - Blazej Malinowski i Michal Wolski, who work intensivly over new productions, promote polish scene abroad with liveacts ans dj sets, are resposible for radio broadcasts on which they bring valuable information in relation to electronic music to the listeners.
ISNT, a very well know female dj and promotor, who has recently started producing hypnotic techno productions.
Less known, and deeply dark, developing project - the OBKT, which is the result of the cooperation of two well-known dark techno producers Milena Kriegs and Eastern Renaissance.
Together with them on the compilation, the lesser-known producers are completing and emphasizing the character of the compilation, Nternal Bserver (read: Internal Observer), who has already released several EP's, and who focuses on playing varied and heavier sound during liveacts. TRNAH, a female producer with a lot of experience on musical collaborations, who shows with her charming song, that a techno album containing more powerful and hypnotic sound can also be filled with nostalgia and exceptionally captivating sadness.

Introducing the first release from mysterious new label, Southern MLights. Dedicated to releasing high-end hypnotic grooves from close friends and family from Australia and around the globe.The first release is by Melbourne artist Craig McWhinney, featuring heavy cuts of percussion and atmosphere in equal measure with the 'Versions' EP. The A-side features 'Upon Humanity' and the B-side features two versions of 'Keloid'.In contrast, on the remix tip is Eric Cloutier's 'The End is Near Version' of 'Upon Humanity', which strips back the elements to a more esoteric and cerebral translation of the original.For lovers of fine art and fine techno. Limited to 300 copies, 180 gram vinyl.

De-Bons-en-Pierre is a project from Beau Wanzer & Maoupa Mazzocchetti. Beau Wanzer spends the majority of his days sifting through paraffin embedded animal tissues and reading old issues of Fangoria, occasionally breaking his monotonous routine to record in various fits and bursts. As well as solo material, he is also in numerous projects including Streetwalker, Mutant Beat Dance, Civil Duty, and Corporate Park. He's released on many labels including; Diagonal, L.I.E.S, Cititrax, Nation, Rush Hour, and Light Sounds Dark. Maoupa Mazzocchetti is the pseudonym of Florent Mazzocchetti, a French producer based in Brussels. Florent is strictly devoted to a DIY mentality around music production and his sound revives the electro-industrial aesthetic of the late 70s and early 80s. He's released notable productions on labels such as Unknown Precept, PRR! PRR!, Knekelhuis and Mannequin Records.

While Beau was visiting Brussels he stopped by Maoupa's house to jam for a bit. All songs were recorded on April 4, 2016 between 11:00am and 11:00pm, as single live takes.'Crepes' is a 6-track EP, titled so because they ate crepes the majority of the session. Beau says, "There was a bit of a language barrier. We'd mostly just laugh and nod when something sounded cool to us." The equipment set up included a Roland TR-808, TR-606, SH-101, CR-78, CR-8000, two Syncussions and effects. Over 23 minutes of garbles, sludgy synths and leviathan rhythms. Surfing the slippery slope between industrial and electro, but never quite falling in, just a dip of your pinky toe to to test the temperature.

All songs are mastered by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. Housed in a sewage green/blue jacket featuring a crepe-masked duo reminiscent of pulpy VHS covers. Designed by Eloise Leigh and Florent Mazzocchetti. Each copy includes a 2-sided postcard with a photo taken during the recording session.

MindTrip presents MT13, which sees another young Argentinan talent - Farceb - making his MindTrip debut. Farceb is a producer who's been pricking ears over the last couple of years with strong releases on labels such as Arts, Orioni and Circular Limited. He now joins Pfirter's imprint with his superb Signals From Space EP. Exoplanet War sets things in motion and is a stylish, entrancing tune, which - if it wasn't for it's intrinsic energy and power - would border on the somniferous. Next up is Signals from Space, a tough, brutal and percussive workout, punctuated by dark, organic synth stabs. This track builds and rolls along in a way dancefloors will love. Unknown Shadow is a powerful, stripped down merciless lump of peak-time techno which cleverly blends atmosphere and hard hitting percussion. The final track - the superb Hyperion - is a 6 minute, deadly exercise in pushing intensity and tension to (and sometimes beyond) commonsensical limits. This is MindTrip music!

RAS Records or rather Reach Another System is a new small record label straight outta south Germany. The first EP is a distorted Techno piece from our lovely friend Frederick Block. The EP contain four tracks including a psychedelic remix from our Berlin based man Florian Kupfer.
Keep your eyes and ears open for other stuff in the future!

3LP + DL Card. Hyper Opal Mantis is a triptych on 3 states of desire, and the first long player of Kangding Ray for Stroboscopic Artefacts. HYPER is the primal, sensual lust, OPAL is the emotional catharsis, a blissful desire for love. MANTIS, like the insect it refers to, is the destructive, fatal attraction.

The tension between the natural and artificial, the body and mind, are central themes in electronic music in general, and Techno in particular, as the means of creation, focused around technology and interactions with machines, contrast with the emotional response to sound, the mystical ritual of collective dancing, and the ethos of liberation and tolerance embedded in the culture it produced.

We're navigating a world of engineered pleasures, big data monitoring of movements and consumption habits, and falsely objective representations of reality, further blurred by a reduced attention span and several opaque layers of cultural interpretation and political manipulation.

Manichean simplifications are used to create hate and fear in order to achieve domination and impose limits on freedom, and the irrational belief in endless growth, increasingly disconnected from nature, led to massive environmental destructions and waves of unprecedented extinctions of species.

Our primal sensuous perception, vastly more abstract, emotional and sensual, make us feel the world as an ambiguous realm we are part of, but not in control of ; a complex network of interacting forces and enigmatic patterns, a matrix of overlapping desires. Rebuilding our bonds with nature, Reconnecting with our senses, and spreading love in the process becomes an essential act of resistance.

It's 2017 and Mindcut starts with a banger release from no one else than Keepsakes. The New Zealand-based producer - who already had his debut release on Ansome's SLAM - opens the New Year with a 4 tracker incl. Ayarcana Remix. A truly vibrant EP filled with hard industrial techno along some special chords.

Vinyl + Mp3Code incl. 2 digital bonus tunes

Early support by: Luke Slater, the29novfilms, Krenzlin, J.Tijn, Stormtrooper, BR1002, 14Anger, Berk Offset, MTD, Droid, Paco Osuna, Beat Movement, Ryuji Takeuchi, Drvg Cvltvre, NOMAD, UVB, Takaaki Itoh, Paul Birken

Richard Smith a.k.a L/F/D/M reports four barrelling hardware shots from London's EBM and techno underworld with the tense, nervous energy of his Crocodiles in the Ceiling EP for Not Waving's Ecstatic label following a slew of 'floor-wreckers with Optimo Trax and Diagonal (Bronze Teeth, Green Gums with former Factory Floor member Dom Butler).
More pointed, succinct than last year's M Is A Shape debut LP for the label, this 2nd volley finds him flexing and bozing a buzzing set of dancefloor prongs amid the sweat-mist and strobelights, feeling equally at home during all-day, no sleep Berghain rituals and clammy, redlit darkroom beat offs.
It's burning deep heat for the DJs, rubbing up the gym-trained pony canter and popper fog of Lego Train Crashes beside the rude industrial rider Elek F up top, and clearly taking a grimacing pleasure from the New Beta jut of Take A Chance, whilst Rum + Black foams and spits with the rawest, most uncouth agenda.
In his dual roles as musician and graphic artist L/F/D/M draws on both sides of his practice in order to dance, as he explains Music and art kinda switch places within the balance of my creative process, ideas come in different ways, cutting out collages, layering sound, hacking into outtakes, snipping out ideas.The result is a visceral, animated style, pushing at the most frayed, wild-eyed aspects of post-industrial/acid/techno with inarguably potent impact and effect.

The new techno bomb on Delude Records Vinyl comes from the new producer guy Maik Davis. The release contains the original mix of Tension, a great techno bomb with fantastic arrangements and elements of electronic music.

The remixes are from Mike Wall, the owner of the berlin based techno label Wall Music and Marco Trom, a new young producer guy from munich.
The 3rd Remix is produced by Stevie Wilson, a scottish dj and producer legend of the newer days.

For its second chapter XCPT Music delivers a collaboration EP by label heads Nothus and Delikwe. Original drumbreak centred with echoes of astral techno and pulsating UK vibes coming out with a footworking' warehouse remix by Detroit based MGUN and a no prisoner taking hardcore-dnb rework by DJ Plant Texture.

Peverelist does Peverelist on his 3rd album of Bristolian bass techno prisms, Tessellations; his first for the Livity Sound label, forming a typically stripped, acute treatise on the flux of dub, techno, D&B and ambient electronics that make up his soundsystem DNA.

Rooted in the '90s but curved and toned for 2017, Pev's sound is economically functional but not without a crucial sliver of emotive, sensual/textural pressure that bleeds thru in each cut. It's hardly hands-in-the-air material, yet his slow-burning vibes are arguably more satisfying and subtly impressive in the immediacy of the dance and for the long run.

Across a neatly plotted 48 minutes he systematically investigates and consolidates all stripes of the Peverelist sound in a way that builds on the experiments of 12000 Seconds [2014] whilst reprising and refining the heft of Jarvik Mindstate [2009].

The roiling modular tones of opener Burning Seas offers a rare, beat-less iteration of his sound before the session properly gets under way, vacillating the pressure between Under Clearing Skies dense electro-bass pulses and strobing dub chords, and the wide open lushness of Still Early, then twisting into the latinate shimmy of Sheer Chance Matters and the spiralling trills of Wireframes, which sounds almost like Plastikman meets Unique 3.

Further Inland brings a lot of originality and feeling with a misty-eyed mesh of airy Detroit/Berlin arpeggios and serpentine house swang, cooling down into the tribalism patterns of Brinks and Limits and closing on another rare, beat-less vision, Plateau from which to survey his rolling topography and then dive back in again.

Good stuff.

PVS is finally ready with the new release on his own label .The EP is composed of three tracks. The original
version signed by PVS (H.omevvork label owner / M_Rec Ltd / KEY Vinyl) is a overwhelming broken-beat
techno. The remixes are signed by Max_M (M_Rec Ltd label owner) and the Spanish talent Kwartz
(PoleGroup).
Nothing else !!

LIMITED REPRESS black vinyl

A gem of a warehouse find on offer here with this superb and underrated collaboration by several giants of the UK electronic scene from back in 2005.


First up is Stasis AKA Steve Pickton who needs no introduction as a true player from the early days of Peacefrog, B12 and Pure Plastic related labels that included too many pseudonyms to mention. His track on offer '20ft Scarf' moodily drives and smashes its way in typical Anglo-Detroit style - superb.

On the Flip is the pensive, bubbling downbeat acid affair that is 'Byters'. This beast comes from the frankly staggering (and one time only) collaboration of Andy Turner & Ed Handley (AKA Plaid and formerly of Black Dog), Baby Ford, Mark Broom, Dave Hill and Steve Pickton to boot !

Limited copies only so move fast...

Fresh off the back of his debut as Cucumb45, Bjarki presents another outstanding release. 'Slysó EP5 Cyclops í poka' is a 5-track, vinyl only EP on bbbbbb records, the label he runs alongside Johnny Chrome Silver.
Whilst the recent 'Something Weirdcore' challenged our understanding of genre, the latest release takes things further, playing with our perception of acousticspace.
Immersive textures are introduced without warning, just as quickly as they are withdrawn, never to be heard again. From the nostalgic harmonies of 'Cyxlobblobs5' to the unnerving glitches of the title track, high velocity drums of 'Aqua Elba' and mangled juke patterns of 'CATpitchd5', the EP darts its way through a range of new territories without hesitation.
Never one to conform, Cucumb45 rejects familiar structures, rapidly jumping between ideas whilst manipulating the physical properties of his sound.

Detroit rooted techno tracks with morphing synths and layers of percussions and breakbeats designed for the dancefloor!

John Heckle's second album on Tabernacle

Co-Founder Peter Eilmes steps up for the second release by this new imprint.
Opening the A side with a more hypnotic mind trip, the EP ‚States of Matter' turns into sequence driven dance floor tool.
The record is consistent in its rawness and use of massive modulating hats and percussions which manifest the passion to analog gear. Raw upfront techno trips.

Support by
Richie Hawtin, Francois X, Marcel Dettmann, Angel Molina, Alex Dolby, Dj deep, Rebekah, Brian Sanhaji, Luke Slater, Florian Meindl,
Shlomo, Rodhad, Arnaud Le Texier, Unbalance, Jonas Kopp, Milton Bradley, Dave Miller, Drumcell, Chris Liebing, Audio Injection/Truncate, Henning Baer, Donor, Etapp Kyle, Nihad Tule...

After a well-received debut record on fellow Leipzig imprint KANN (»Route«, 2015), »Tent Tracks« marks Polo's second artist EP and his rst one for Holger. Here he further expands the hypnotic qualities of his productions and yet always remains in the blurry zone between Techno and House. Based on rather loopy grooves, his sound is moving as well as medi- tative - it's extremely physical and remarkably spiritual at the same time. Music to dance and lose your mind to. In all that it's essentially Polo - one of Leipzig's most established DJs for almost two decades, rock solid and ever reliable.

The fifth in a series of anonymous 12"s on Grey Area - the label collaboration between Auxiliary and Horo. Experiments in polyrhythm supported by Samuel Kerridge, ASC, Ancestral Voices, Oake, Sam KDC, ENA, Presha and more.

Albert Oehlen feat. Wolfgang Voigt massive. 180g vinyl
Wendy Gondeln is here to introduce and spread the dance style called Fracking.

Gondeln, also known as the German painter Albert Oehlen and longtime Red Crayola member, recently laid out the aspects of Fracking in his studio in Düsseldorf.

Realising that one thing was missing, he asked Wolfgang Voigt to provide him with two plain Gabber bass drum canvases. Wendy, a great connaisseur of this ancient form of techno, considered the offerings from the unheralded prince of the German bass drum so precious that he drove to Cologne to pick them up personally. He managed to take the delights home safely, painted over them with his bow as if it was a brush and thus completed his vision of Fracking.

Wolfgang on the other hand, couldn't stop Fracking after Wendy's visit, which resulted not only in his first Fracking track, but in his first three. Included here in the form of a Fracking triptych.

When Magazine (Jens-Uwe Beyer, Crato, Barnt) heard of this new thing called Fracking, they had to start Fracking too. Of course. Not long before this text was written, these Frackings were brought back to Düsseldorf and tested towards the end of a frenzied set at the Salon Des Amateurs. And guess what people started as soon as the bow hit the violin...
... right: FRACKING!

Re-enlisting from Planet E the duo's two unmissable re-works of Carl Craig: The Climax turned into a driving, hypnotic pounder, originally out in 2001 and utterly killer, and their stunning, slo-mo re-imagination of his take on E2-E4, from 1994.

Der Wahlberliner Dauwd Al Hilali, der in den letzten Jahren vor allem durch seine EP-Releases auf Labels wie Ghostly International oder Kompakt auffiel, veröffentlicht nun sein Debütalbum "Theory Of Colours" auf Ninja Tunes Tochterlabel Technicolour. Inspiriert von Legenden der 50 & 60er Jahre wie Terry Riley oder Raymond Scott, nahm Dauwd einen Großteil des Albums über den Zeitraum eines Jahres in den berühmten Sonar Traffic Studios in Utrecht auf, in dem eine der größten europäischen Sammlungen an Vintage Synthesizern und anderem Modular-Equipment stehen. Fertig gestellt wurde das 7-Song starke Album letztes Jahr in Berlin, wo er auch die berüchtigte African Acid is the new Future Party co-organisiert, welche er als Basis zwischen seinen DJ-Touren und Festivalauftritten auf der ganzen Welt nutzt.

Chicago's DJ Clent has long been revered as one of the founding figures of the city's unique juke and footwork scene. Having released some of the genres earliest examples of the sound he's rightfully respected as a DJ and producer in the game. "100% Ghetto - We 2 Ghetto 4 Ya!" was originally released in 1998 on the legendary Dance Mania label and has been long sought after by fans of juke, footwork and the ghetto house sound and is quite a tough record to track down often commanding collectors prices in the used market.Across 7 tracks covering various styles Clent gives us his rough, ready and raw sound. Uncompromising, heavy, frenetic and just plain jacking this EP still packs a serious punch! The sinister, brooding "3rd Wurle" still manages to sound foreboding and otherworldly, while straight up ghetto house staples "Let me hit it (from the back)" and "Bang that rat" still rock any sound-system today! This is the first time "100% Ghetto - We 2 Ghetto 4 Ya!" has ever been reissued in full, just as it was originally released in 1998, complete with original Dance Mania label artwork. 100% legit, reissued in conjunction with Dance Mania records, Chicago IL and Parris Mitchell - "We 'bout it"

A lot has happened since Eats Everything made his debut back in 2011... He tours the world relentlessly, has a BBC Radio 1 residency, runs his own label, and has racked up countless awards and accolades.
Considering his last Dirtybird appearance was on our tenth-anniversary compilation years back - and because Eats is one of our dearest players - we're thrilled to welcome him back with his "Clash Of The Tight-Uns" EP.
He brought a friend along with him this time, fellow UK producer Lord Leopard, and together they crafted two singles for us. "Song For" & "War Rhythm". The former perfectly captures the essence of Eats personality - fun, playful and full of life, while Lord's influence is heard on the latter: a darker, blitering techno track.

Terminal Operations is an independent record label based in Berlin.

First release in a new series of singles only releases by Nervmusic.

The colors are stunning. In a single view, I see looking out at the edge of the earth, all the colors of the prism. Red at the horizon, blends to orange and yellow, followed by a thin white line, then light blue, gradually turning to dark blue, then black as the vastness of space engulfs the surroundings. As I looked upon our home rock, I saw many natural features. I witnessed a large river meandering slowly along for miles, passing from one country to another without stopping or hesitation. I also saw huge forests, extending along & across several borders as if these divides didn't exist. I watched the extent of one ocean touch the shores of separate continents; then suddenly, a profound thought came over me as I looked down on all this....
The Birds Don't Fly This High

This EP is the result of troubled times. Because the music can speak by itself, we will just attached it to the ending part of « Howl » poem by Allen Ginsberg.

* « Visions! omens! hallucinations! miracles! ecstasies! gone down the American river! Dreams! adorations! illuminations! religions! the whole boatload of sensitive bullshit!

* Breakthroughs! over the river! flips and crucifixions! gone down the flood! Highs! Epiphanies! Despairs! Ten years' animal screams and suicides! Minds! New loves! Mad generation! down on the rocks of Time!

* Real holy laughter in the river! They saw it all! the wild eyes! the holy yells!

* They bade farewell! They jumped off the roof to solitude! waving! carrying flowers! Down to the river! into the street! »
From Collected Poems 1947-1980.

Poker Flat Classics continues its highly promising series with a huge pair of reworks of a seminal Poker Flat track. Martin Landsky's 1000 Miles -originally released in 2006, rightfully takes the stage in the second instalment - receiving blistering remixes from two true masters. Laurent Garnier's incredible career barely needs commenting on; suffice to say he brings his trademark, tough and epic sound to the forefront here. Pushing 1000 Miles into yet more mind-bending shapes, the Frenchman injects the original with a new sense of urgency. Welding a fractured synth melody around Landsky's big room hook, the results are a pure techno moment - sure to cause a stampede to the booth at most discerning clubs. Holland's Gerd, responsible for some recent incendiary dancefloor burners of his own, also drops another bomb here. Under his Geeeman persona, Gerd, twists 1000 Miles into a trippy, euphoric monster - a late night house detonation for the heads and a fitting tribute to Landsky's modern classic.

Receptive Visions returns with it's second release, the trademark sound of Milos is apparent on both sides of this 12 inch. A tale of two cities with a distorted 909, acid lines and ravey stabs is pure peak time goodness. While Shifting Perspective revolves around quirky keys and military style drums.

Feel the breeze !!

Mesmerising, moody-as-f**k new production from Pessimist, owning the dark blue space where icy drum'n'bass minimalism and sub-aquatic dub-techno meet. Perfect alignment of stripped, shadow-boxer drums, swooping drones and earth-shaking subs, with a thin layer of crackle and masterful use of silence.....you can hear the influence of Chain Reaction outliers, Source Direct, even early dark garage in there....but this is a pure futurist blend. On the flip, the dense, dungeon rollage of 'Orphic', an effortless bridging of torques and tempos that builds on the radical groundwork of Regis, Felix K and Pessimist's own Ruffhouse crew. Following a run of fine solo work for Ingredients and Samurai Music among others, the Bristol-based producer and UVB-76 co-founder has truly excelled himself here, demonstrating both a subtlety and a ruthlessness that sets him apart from his peers. If you come across a deadlier record this year, let us know.

*Romare steps up for his second innings and expectation could not be higher.
*After the massive acclaim heaped on his highly complex debut 'Meditations in Afrocentrism', Romare quietly returned to the lab to sculpt 4 more masterworks sure to continue is ascent.
*Here the fevered crate digger presents his thesis on the classic love song drawing influences from his archaeological knowledge yesterday's sounds to craft music for tomorrow. 'Your Love (You give Me Fever)' kicks off the EP his deft fusion of Footwork shuffle with vintage texture instantly garnered support from Gilles Peterson and Huw Stephens.
*'Jimi & Faye (Part One)' sneaks into the fray with a slinky chopped and screwed blues groove garnished with voices of yesterdays lovers.
*Next up Romare launches a full scale dance-floor assault with 'Taste of Honey (From The City)' a breakbeat harvesting anthem saturated in the stench of early Ninties clubland.
*Romare polishes off his poly-tempo beat exploration with a dirt under the nails Blues Hip Hop jam, 'Hey Now (When I give You All My Lovin')'.
*Complex by never complicated.

Label Boss Spartaque delivers a massive 3 tracker on the first Codex vinyl release. In The Beginning sets forth a commanding bassline while acidic synths move fluidly with the rhythm and distinct arpeggios come together to take you into the darkness.

Amber Room stomps through the room with an elastic groove, hi hats sessions and deep basslines, while clearing the path for growling synths and melodic overtones layered with a sexy diva vocal sample.

The EP closes with a track titled 'Berliner Goes The Rave' collaboration with Spartaque's good friend Greenjack, which delivers a grinding bassline in combination with the hypnotic male vocals of the haunting kind, eerie notes and a mysterious vibe throughout.

TRP enters the unknown armed with blistering freaked out acid tekno & bloodklart-electro kutz 4 club use only.

Anatomy of Melancholia will be the first release of Ephemeral Manoeuvres, a travel through the dreams of a person who has lost somebody on his course of life. The album have 3 original tracks and a vision from another artist who have to enforce the third track Life enlightens me, again' with a daydream' version, more luminous, powerful and oriented to the dancefloor. In the first track Memories', the main character dive into his dreams against his own memories. The track have a powerful droned and fuzzy pads and winds, teleporting us inside the deepest part of our mind and ephemeral voices inviting you to be part of it. The second track Forgive you (I Can't)' it's a powerful passage to the lost memories of the deeper part of the dream. A forcefulness and progressive groove and percussions swallow us to the longest part of this oddissey. The diffused pads, winds and voices makes us feel better in a stop for rest in our continuous fight. Third track Life enlightens me, again' inspired by pure Dreampop chords, is the only way to awake from memories what are doing us pain and suffer. The light is at the end, we can see it, but we can't touch it creating a softly tension, making you a prisoner of a beautiful nightmare.

The fifth Modern Cathedrals release by Altstadt Echo seeks to exhume genuine, complex, and often contradictory human emotion from dead samples and broken beat structures. Throughout the 1905 EP, the artist crafts melodies that embody a tension between nostalgia and frustration, supported by carefully textured and relatively functional percussion. The remix of 'Dry Despair' by Abdulla Rashim (AR) strips the original of its lofty chords, instead pursuing a focused and bone-dry experimental techno approach. In contrast, the remix by Stave combines elements of the original's drifting atmosphere with violent industrial percussion.

Straight up raw techno from the Feel Music boss. For fans of his 11 51 26 41 2 EP from 2015 on Running Back. 3 of 3.

The first two tracks that were ever made after the formation of Ontal in 2011 are opening the first release in the Ontal Series.

However, the B side contains 2 versions of a collaboration with a well-known noise sculptor and one of Ontal's influences - 2nd Gen

Limited edition (350 copies) album sampler from Pessimist. The Bristol-based producer made an indelible mark on 2016 with his 'Balaklava' 12' for BEB's A14 series, its title track a single-minded masterclass in brooding, minimalist, dubwise drum 'n bass. EPs on UVB-76 and Osiris Music and a remix of Schiari on Ilian Tape followed, underlining the Ruffhouse associate's status as one of the most gifted and progressive artists working underground today - with an unmistakeable signature sound that effortlessly bridges dnb, techno and abyssal/industrial sound design. His debut album will be out on Blackest Ever Black later this year. To prepare the ground, we've cut two of its heaviest weapons to white label for advance release: 'Through The Fog', a slab of neo-junglist soundsystem pressure chopping bitcrushed breaks, clipped vocal licks and darkside bass drones into something like a 21st century update of Source Direct's 'Call and Response'; and 'Peter Hitchens, a 'tribute' in broken techno to the 'notorious' Mail on Sunday columnist, driven by BMB-style dropforge drums and a tripped-out ARP synth line that P.H. would possibly identify as symptomatic of 'the British establishment's surrender to drugs'.

Dark syncopated sounds with hammering rhythms and industrial analogue flavor. w/

(Mattia Trani remix) The french punks '90 process' debut on Pushmaster Discs with an amazing real techno acid bangin e.p: truly Rave inspired cuts!

Hopis is a glance at the various personalities embodied in the duo Charlotte Isabelle, the whole being wrapped in an ethnic universe. The guideline of their second EP is to expose repetitive and percussive beats from the stage to the public, bringing the audience in a gloomy world, and keeping on their path after a debut release on Lucy's Stroboscopic Artefact.

Absolutely rare & massive RAVE masterpiece produced in 1993 by the legendary Bad Kreuznach-based producer Martin Damm, better known to all Hardcore headz as The Speed Freak, Necronomicon, DJ Fistfuck or Wendy Milan as well as to followers of electronic music in general as Anodyne, Biochip C, Phase IV and millions of others pseudonyms.

With these four tracks on pink vinyl he explores the realms of massive early 90s Rave Techno and Oldskool Breakbeats whilst offering anthemic, tongue-in-cheek sample madness. RAVE alert and XTC!

Minimal Wave present a 7' single of two early demos (Kindheitsmuster and Raid) by Dutch electronic music pioneer Das Ding.

After 18 12" singles and EPs, CGI has finally found a record suited for its first full-length LP release, 'Hurt Plaza' from Atlanta's own Pamela_ and her sons. Pamela_ is the solo music project of Alessandra Hoshor, an Atlanta-based multimedia artist, and 1/2 of evil dance project BIG DED. Their microtonal compositions build up from slow perceptual movements into heavy dance sets full of deconstructed vocals. Pamela_ is microtonal, cerebral dance music. Fragmented, off-kilter anxiety techno with an emphasis on texture, pattern, and rhythm. Familiar palettes are rearranged and presented in a form completely alien, opening new pathways to what is possible within the realm of electronic composition without ever underestimating the power of suggestion...effectively like looking into the eyes of your best friend for the first time again.

German duo Silky Raven, aka Jakob Seidensticker & Henrik Raabe (a.k.a WAREIKA), drop their latest effort 'Seychelles to Rave' on vinyl for Beirut based label Fantôme de Nuit.

Silky Raven go straight into it with the sweltering A-side Seychelles to Rave'. Complete with tropical stabs and percussion, a kick drum pushes the track forward as it builds and expands. By the time it all drops out for the tunes compelling bassline it's too late, you're hooked.

On the first track of the flipside, Jupiter to Jupiter', the duo takes a more disco-tinged approached. True to the tracks name this spacey effort, makes use of retro sounding keys and flashes of acid to induce memories of another dimensions.

Billions', the EPs final and darkest track, is a deep slow burner. The perfect end for a rave in Seychelles. A brooding bass line drags along as some clever percussion keeps the listener light on their feet. This is a track for the latest of hours and is sure to revamp the floor.

Bakalas EP Vol.01 aims to make known new talents from Hypnotica Colectiva's circle. Artists whose music captivated us because of their ability to reflect the influence of this new aggressive face of techno that recently came into the scene, and where we find traces from genres such as hardcore or styles within techno itself such as Industrial or Birmingham. The chosen for opening this release is Squaric. The distortions number one fan, as he proves to be through his works on Diffuse Reality (his own platform) and Subsist Records (the label where we heard of him for the first time). Ravereando is a dark and corrosive track, where Squaric pushes his acid machine to the limits during a trip through apocalyptic landscapes accompanied by the rhythm of his characteristic drumming. A2 is for our fellow, Raszia. With this one he demonstrates again this is the sound where he
fits best. With his brutal kick drum and hypnotic bassline, Flashback sends us back in time directly to the stunning sound of the 90s without a pause. Uncrat is a young Italian producer who we augur great success. Clearly influenced by IDM and avant-garde electronics, his music goes from the most epic and haunting side of techno to the broken rhythms and noises of the experimental and industrial. B1 track, Morney Rusmelt, is one of his more hard-hitting works. Instant reaction on the dancefloor is guaranteed. The mysterious Group, whom we welcome to HC Records, closes the release with another of his unnamed experiments. A journey into the bowels of the heavy machinery used to compose his dystopian soundscapes

The infamous pioneer of Cologne Techno and Delirium co-founder Dr. Walker of Air Liquide- / Electro Bunker Cologne- / Djungle Fever- and Liquid Sky Berlin fame serves two trippy, analogue tracks under his secret BLACK ONE alias with this purple 10' piece.

Taken from the archives of Temple Records NYC this original pressing from 1995 is highly recommended to all fans of Psycho Acid. Tribalistic TechnoDub efforts and raw, hypnotic Techno produced and recorded on and by analogue gear.

Our next release sees the welcome return of Dez Williams. Since his first ep on the label in 2013, a lot has happened for the Welsh wizard. Releases for Shipwrec, Bedouin, New Flesh and Bass Agenda have followed, while his reputation as a killer live act has continued to grow. Opening with Lumphammer, Dez harks back to a time when big, brooding basslines were king. Add in whistling keys, tribal percussion and a few well-timed breakdowns, and you have what is surely one of his biggest tracks to date. Order To Fight takes a more aggressive route - a vocal-fused slab of raw acid, it leads nicely onto the flip, where Kabin Feeva's wild roaring synths are tuned specifically for the headstrong. Work Like Crazy meanwhile, sees Dez return to his roots with a bass heavy cut of crunched electro, doused in a dark filtered vox.

This EP starts with Stitched", which begins by a rough & anxious introduction with a drone bass and a dissonance pad. Then a steamroller sub bass engaged itself into an insane run drived by a brushing arpeggiated synth and sharpened cymbals. College Road, the eponym track is a bright energetic trippy techno track influenced by house grooves & sonorities, for club use (not only). The last track Bkr is a live construct track with both hardware and software stuff to create a freaky bouncing groove. Can be played as main set track or as tool as well. Artist Bio : Born in Rouen, Normandy, the duo Easy Morph used to make people dance in clubs before they were even allowed to get in. Together since the age of 12, the duo experienced some emulation among themselves and with the music they cherish and collect, the electronic music and particularly techno. The logical consequence was the creation of the duo a few years later in order to exploit this connection, at first for dj sets and then for production. In their sets as in their production, they like to hear the rolling sub and the kick on time, a powerful and compelling binary techno punctuated by dark soundscapes, sometimes melancholic accompanied by saturated synths brushing against acidity. The duo met later the collective Peche Mignon,seduced by their project, their values and their love of music.

Ital & Halal return to Lovers Rock with 'Tower B,' an EP of enigmatic techno explorations. 'Shenzhen River' opens: an ominous, questing acid line stretches its tendrils around nocturnal atmospheres. 'From the Brink' counters with glints of warm melody. On side B, the title track unfurls with slithering percussion and a menacing drone. Ambient closer 'Where Exactly I Am' picks up the pieces, lost voices traveling across the stereo field, searching for answers through an endless pale haze

Strength lies in calmness - and vice versa. Marcel Fengler returns on IMF and offers three new inspirited musical pieces that protrude from the club context just as well as cater for your home stereo, picking up on the diverse musical moods defined by his debut album Fokus (Ostgut Ton, 2013) while concentrating on intertwining sound aesthetics.
With Kyu' laid out on the A-side, this new 12" starts off with a delicate yet muscular floor-pleaser - its subtle 4/4 rhythm is counteracted by lush claps on 2/4, but the true finesse comes in form of its varying rhythmic details, crisp hi-hats and underlying, subtle melodies, most notably the twirling organ trills, sustained synth pads and alienated shout outs.
Shitau' on B1 picks up on these introverted and adoring musical moods with more organic bell percussion and swelling synth layers adding a more cinematic touch to the complex rhythm patterns—then pausing for a short dreamy break, gaining speed again before culminating in a grand finale. Zen' follows up with intimate string arrangements until Fengler varies the tone and tempo with tribalist percussion and a lush kick drum.
This EP is an ideal companion, whether you're pruning your bonsai or branching out a club set.

Rekord 61's first release of 2015 is the strident 'Sverh' on his own Konstruktiv imprint, backed with 3 remixes from Radio Slave.

Radio Slave's 'F.Y.N Remix 1' draws on the essence of Daniel Bell, combining a sparse drum track with occasional 'sverh' vocal while 'F.Y.N Remix 2' kills the kicks completely and favours saturated bleeps and ominous atmospherics. 'F.Y.N Remix 3' continues the distorted motif but pairs it with pin sharp and powerful drums.
A release that is sure to be deployed in multiple variants due to it's jigsaw-like aesthetics, Rekord61's 'Sverh' b/w Radio Slave remixes is released march 30th.

And again - a fresh acid techno release outta space !! This time: on the A-side you find the repress of the acid techno cracker from Steve Mills & Dave The Drummer licensed from WAH WAH 021 and an excellent new acid techno track is added on the B-side from Steve Mills & Jack Wax !!! Don't miss this one !!!!

For almost two decades Dave Paton has been dredging the recesses of his mind for electronic inspiration. The findings have been fantastical, freakish and formidable; all ways of describing his latest outing. "The Great Pretender" straddles electro and techno, staggers between ambient and IDM and swaggers to its own bawdy beat. Rasping rhythm patterns are rinsed in ragged roars, charcoal chords are conjured before being crunched as The Wee Djs has his fun across five tracks.

Swedish born Christian Smith is sitting firmly at the top of the electronic dance music industry. His outstanding productions over the years have set the bench mark high, releasing on a collection of the industry's most respected labels such as Drumcode, Cocoon, Bedrock, Minus and his very own Tronic.
2016 has been a busy year so far for Christian, his Tronic label party series has been holding events worldwide, including the BPM Festival and Sonar OFF week, and an ever growing catalogue of releases not forgetting his most recent EP Force Majeure released in July on Drumcode which immediately entered Beatports Techno Top 10, straight in at No.8.
This September, Christian will release his third solo album titled Input-Output on his own Tronic imprint. Consisting of 11 original tracks, each one embodies Christians message of creating real techno, with powerful percussions and melodic basslines throughout. As the first album teaser, he released the first track Blast Off on the 25th July. This track is the definition of a techno builder, steadily rolling and pulsating its way through a rising synth blast that takes you high before dropping you back into the crispy percussive beat. You can expect the second set of exclusive tracks to be released on the 22nd August, with both Subzero (Club Mix) and Explanation.
Input/Output is an outstanding production offering some of the best driving techno you can expect from an artist like Christian, with his trademark style incorporated in every track.
It takes you on a journey, through a variation of sounds and textures, which still manage to cater to everyone's musical palate. Synthesizers work their way throughout, alongside dark atmospheric harmonies and haunting vocals or that pounding kick drum in some of the heavier tracks. It never disappoints!

Das Ding, the dutch wave savant, arrives on Pinkman with four works of full bodied synth sorrow. Freezing rain pelts rusting machinery, a barren land of decay stretches out onto dancefloors. Rasping rhythms and lumbering bass buttress bitter chords and grinding notes that compel bodies to move. And within the dereliction, behind the dilapidation and rot, burns a purity of expression that is emblematic of Danny Bosten's consistent quality.

Cellaa Music are happy to welcome back Artist, Giuseppe Cennamo, with a follow up to his highly acclaimed 2013 'Butterflies In Your Stomach' EP.

Three different tracks, three times 100% Cennamo quality and on top the titel Track 'Everyday' is accompanied by two exclusive remixes from Marwan Sabb and Label Head Sven Jaeger.

Focussing on nowhere else but the dancefloor and designed for no one else but the skilled selector, all tracks act as timeless calls to action for all groove aficionados... And suggest an exciting ending year for Cellaa Music.

We are proud to announce a new member to the Echocord family, we have signed the super talented Idealist.
From Zurich Switzerland, Idealist is producing already for more than a decade, but only the last five years he took it a step further and signed releases or tracks on labels like Pro-Tez, Lackrec, Berg Audio and focused on building up his own label Idealistmusic with the non written Details Series sublabel. Both of which gained him international attention and sold like hot cakes at the distribution.
In September 2016 he released his anticipated debut album "Firewood Street", which followed his previous work.The last two years the success of his releases lead him to play in various European countries, Canada and Georgia, where he played in clubs like Tresor, Batofar and Culture Box.
His first ep on Echocord contains 3 heavy powerfull dubby tracks, all for the dancefloor.

First new Ø (Phase) material since the Alone In Time LP.After the success of the broad and powerful second LP Alone In Time, Ø (Phase) continues his ongoing connection to Token with the Submerged Metropolitan EP.The title track enters with Burchett's own brand of unease; the lead is tense and discordant, moving over a bumpy, rolling kick. Brushing off-beat hats rush overhead and play delicately with this unease above the thunder. A vague spoken word sample adds texture and contributes to the cerebral edge. Ethereal swells and intense rhythmic play introduce Fallen Columns, which delves into atonality with keys that add a controlled recklessness to the composition.This Absent Mind takes on a hypnotic, dubby form with a confidence that belies its complexity. A sublime breakdown introduces the heavier second half of the track, which enters impressively and batters on to the end.

Deep, mental, hypnotic Techno from Orion. Enjoy!

Ronde is a French label proposing to gather a group of artists for the production of vinyl records around the concept of infinitely revolving loops.


VADIM SVOBOBA, is the founder of the Makesense label. He signed several eps on Eklo and DouleR and gives live performances throughout Europe (Fabric, Panorama Bar, Rex Club) with his gear. He opens this ep with minimalist and smooth house tracks, classy as usual!

SHARP is a French electronic music composer duet formed by Cédric Pigot and Jow. SHARP's distinctive energy comes from the meeting of their influences and their eras. Between 90's sound systems and club culture, their music is an unidentified case of experimental techno with groovy and noisy qualities at the same time. Repetitive loops, atmospheric layers, techno beat, wired sound... Their live performances weave the fragmented texture of a synthetic mythology pervaded by fully operating schizophrenic dynamics.

EDITH PROGUE, originally a French variety song composer converted to electronics over the last decade, he composes a subtle and sophisticated electronica with a light touch. In 2007 he received the Qwartz Electronic Music Awards 4 for timeline, a minimalist electro album, signed with the legendary Mille Plateaux label.



ANTIGONE is a young artist whose work is at the "avant-garde" of the French techno scene. Educated to forage through the Syncrophone's record racks since an early age, he is open to a wide range of music, even if he is resolutely Techno. He was quickly noticed by Parisian promoters, he is currently making his debut at Concrete.



DSCRD (a.k.a. Discordance) is an electronic music band born in Paris in 2008, and composed of five people. The artistic concerns of the collective mainly focus on the fields of soundscape, sound design, music-tool creation and live performance.



Since the beginning of the 90's CEDRIC PIGOT has been creating under various pseudonyms electro music with an immersive power and noisy escapes, with a radicalism exacerbated by the idea of speed, while creating sound compositions with a more atmospheric mood for visual artists such as Nicolas Moulin, Pierre Huyghe... He works on a very own interpretation of ambiance, flirting with bruitist aesthetics, thus giving birth to incredible sonic landscapes.



JOW is the founder of Ronde. He oscillates between the introspective and solitary work required by studio composition and collaborative projects. At the initiative of jam sessions gathering electronic music producers for Supernova, a collective he founded as its artistic director, he is also the other half of Sharp.

"After the success of the first release Rooted Series is back with new 4 track V/A from really well known and talented artists....
Deep/minimal/organic/house sounds for different times in every set..."

Annie Hall, Stephanie Sykes, Orion and Philippe Petit get featured in this third release on NSP MUSIC. Four artist's vision we love, remixing some fresh techno tracks of talented artists MTD & COMPASS.

Senso Sounds drop a major release from techno heavyweight Dubfire and label boss Oliver Huntemann. Reuniting the partnership that has seen a string of seminal releases over the years in the form of their 'Elements' series, 'Humano' is the 2nd part of a continuation of this series - more weapons of grade dance-floor material from the high profile duo. Later on this year their partnership will be summarized in their 'Restrospectivo' album. Former Deep Dish man Dubfire's uncanny knowledge of how to create epic dance-floor moments is in full effect, combined with Huntemann's precision tool production techniques on the original version of the title track. The result is a super tough, tight and incalculably driving slice of techno goodness that will ignite floors worldwide. The rest of the EP manages to maintain the pressure - with a set of sick remixes from Victor Ruiz, Hatzler and Shaded. Ruiz, the Brazilian techno pioneer adds another level of fire to the original, tweaking and refining the track into a damager that pushes everything to 11 and hits home with every play. Hatzler, the Hamburg based German DJ/producer chooses a different direction - emphasizing more of the space in the original. Rinsing the tension to the next level, look out for the epic middle section break down. The whole package is primed to destroy clubs far and wide - techno at its most effective. Shaded's Summer Skin remix also delivers a tightly wound interpretation, with a bubbling bass line and nervous, excited groove providing the fuel for an extended dancefloor excursion.

DYAD is a collaborative music project and label by Ben Gibson and Fundamental Interaction. For their first release they bring two pieces of accomplished techno as DYAD together with a remix by Japanese legend Takaaki Itoh.

City Slang is very proud to announce the Sympathy for the Auto Industry Remixes by Berlins analog techno prodigies FJAAK (50Weapons/ Monkeytown), which is an Electronic music trio from Berlin and probably the only Techno-Boyband worldwide. Having grown up together, they began to create all types of music made with microphones, guitars and drums in a dark, chaotic and dirty cellar at quite an early age. After getting in touch with the berlin-underground-techno-scene, days and nights started being all about music. Whether it was chopping beats on the mpc in the morning hours or studying manuals, the internet, vinyl stores and Schneiders Buero. In 2014 they signed to 50WEAPONS and have since released 3 captivating and very fresh sounding techno EPs. Modeselektor have hot tipped them to be the next big thing, because of their unique, melodic and high quality style of producing. HeCTA is the brainchild of Kurt Wagner, Ryan Norris and Scott Martin of Lambchop. Exploring and experimenting with the idea of combining the notion of 'song", elements from electronic music and a shared love of the electronic form and it's many permutations, HeCTA and the album The Diet does not sound like anything these guys have done before.

Re-mastered by Matt Colton from the original DAT tape
Originally released on vinyl R&S in 1994, 'Meditation Will Manifest' was re-earthed in 2016 by Nina Kraviz and Ricardo Villalobos, becoming a secret weapon on dancefloors 22 years after its original release.
Josh Wink has always been ahead of musical trends and walks his own path in dance music. From a young age Wink was exposed to different mysticism and consciousness philosophies. 'It wasn't a big, popular or trendy thing to do at the time, but I was 14 and just did what my mother did... Releasing tracks like 'Meditation Will Manifest' and 'Higher States of Consciousness', people looked at me as being this deeply profound spiritual guy, but I never really thought about it in that way, even though I'm really into repetitive, transcendental and meditative rhythms. I don't do drugs, so I never really had another outlet to get into alternative states.' - Josh Wink (taken from recent Mixmag article).
''Meditation Will Manifest' is quite rightly regarded as a classic track in the R&S catalogue. It's one of the finest examples of acid house that we've released in our 30-year existence and it still sounds fresh today. We're so glad that the original DAT tape has been found and that a whole new generation can experience it.' - R&S
'It is exciting to see that a track that I made over 20 years ago is touching so many people once again. With DJs like Nina and Ricardo playing it recently, people have been wondering what it was... It makes me happy that the track still sounds relevant and still does its damage on the dance floor. We got in touch with the guys at R&S and decided to remaster the original and release it, as it has never been released digitally. Luckily I was able to my find the original DAT in the studio and we were able to make this happen." - Josh Wink

* Kowton unleashes a pair of devastating dance floor weapons to rattle your ribcage.

* 'Pea Soup' gets wavey in a fog of old rave stylings and jagged rhythms, while b-side 'Iodine' rolls with a deeper shuffle, putting a UK spin on the classic Detroit sound.

Lucretio returns to crime city disco with a solo Ep containing exactly what he does best, slamming, no-nonsense house music! The EP includes a remix from Marieu with his own trademarked wall-of-sound style. Oh yes!

A year after their impressive last album Burn It Down, Detroit techno legends Octave One are back with a nine track double EP that again shows they are masters of big hypnotic grooves.

Entitled Love by Machine, the album's name is a nod to the fact that the Burden brothers are such revered masters of their hardware. Both in the studio, where they cook up atmospheric house and techno with soaring synths and vocals and also in the live arena, where they are celebrated as one of the most accomplished and forward thinking performers in the game today. That is all the more impressive when you bear in mind they have been active since the '80s, most often releasing on their own 430 West label, which is where they appear again here.

Say Lenny: We've been exploring the theme of connection with this project. How technology gives us the illusion that we are closer to each other more than ever. At some point humanity crossed a line where the devices that we created to bring us together are the same devices that are blocking us from organic experiences.'

Technology is only a tool, which we also had in mind during the recording process.' Adds Lawrence. We decided to go back to how we used to make our records, when we didn't have so many 'sophisticated' audio devices. Back to when we interacted in the studio together as musicians.'

Things open up with the loose metallic percussive line that is In Mono, which sets the machine made tone and is filled with promise. Locator then immediately gets to action with a gallivanting techno kick and various synth lines wrapping round each other as you get sucked into the groove. Just Don't Speak (Midnight Sun Redub) is a more deep and house leaning track with big feel good piano keys and slithering synths that will get hands in the air. Proving they have real range, 7 B4 Dawn is a moody and reserved cut with subtle acid pricks, hip swinging claps and a spaced out dead of night feel.


The second half of the album offers peak time business in the form of the spectacular Bad Love II, the whirring and cosmic Sounds of Jericho and the big loops and fluid grooves of (Where) Time Collides. Pain Pressure is a wonky number with big bassline and a focus on percussive patterns as well as some vocals with real attitude and last cut 8 B4 Dawn ends things in a downbeat and sombre way with sad chords and emotive strings. It is pure Detroit, much like the whole album, and rounds out another fine release from these most revered veterans.

Vehement Luscious Transcendental Bodychecks

Here is the debut release from the new label Losers with Attitude; a four track compilation "We Have Nothing Left to Lose" that demonstrates the range of sounds you can expect from us in coming releases. The label is the brain child of Aleksey Ageyev, a successful LA based film and TV producer in who was born in Moscow before moving to NYC at age of 16. He has teamed up with his old friend Jason Szostek of Serotonin/Schmer Records to explore the electronic sounds that emanate from the DMZ between house and techno.Alexi Delano needs no introduction; as part of the Swedish techno mafia that took over New York techno scene in the 90s Delano has been pumping out tracks that have keep dancefloors moving world wide. Delano brings his awesome sense of groove to the opening track "A.L.N."Mike Bryant is a well known DJ in the New York City underground since he came from the midwest in the mid 90s. He's the label head for Intrinsic Design. With his A New Low moniker he sets out on a dark and soulful journey in sound.LWA Labelhead and Prototype 909 member Jason "bpmf" Szostek's starts side B with a sprawling chill soundscape "Sunrise on Mars" from his Abide the Glide series of digital releases.Legendary Russian electronic music pioneer Anton Kubikov is famous for his acid adventures in SCSI 9, his label Pro-tez Records and RANDOMART store in Prague. Here he has given us a moody acid groove named 'We Have a Bridge" to close out the compilation.

Colouroïd serves up a double dose of their signature up-tempo compositions. Each track features the clever fills, crystalline, catchy leads and gritty, singable baselines that have defined their sound since 2009. The lyrics take inspiration from terrifying obsessions and love-hate relationships.

Damian Lazarus signs another classic from the enigmatic DrumTalk, a revered producer who brings in the sublime singing talents of Josa Peit, signed to Brandt Brauer Frick's label for the invigorating and anthemic 'Lose Again'.

Championed by Gilles Peterson, Seth Troxler, Midland & Huxley of late and attracting a large, loyal and diverse following from James Holden and Skream, 'Wildcard' shows DrumTalk's sinister sneer, a techno weapon shooting to kill. 'Gamma' makes playful experiments with sounds to great effect, a unique and eloquent record that sways with grace.

DrumTalk is an East London-based producer and DJ. Inspiration comes via the musical lineage of London, Chicago, New York and Detroit, Lagos and Accra. Elements of house, techno, bass culture and the rhythms of West Africa and the Caribbean are all to be found here. His productions and remixes for More Music, Sofrito, Soundway, Get Me! and Huntleys & Palmers have been making an impact far and wide, garnering the attention and support of DJs such as James Holden, Jackmaster, Gilles Peterson and Skream, amongst a host of others.

Josa Peit is a Berlin-based singer and musician. Her debut EP is released on Brandt Brauer Frick's label The Gym Records.

Perc Trax opens its account for 2017 with the first full EP on the label from London's Manni Dee. As uncompromising in sound and as he is politically aware Manni is leading the next generation of London techno artists who continue the city's rich history of producers operating at the more extreme edge of the genre.

Lead track 'London Isn't England' is a driving, sharp-edged slice of UK techno inspired by the June 23rd referendum result. Charging forward from the moment it starts, a searing lead line and Ewa Justka's distorted vocals only add to its relentless momentum.

B1 track 'Mephi' keeps up the pressure hitting the middle ground between Perc Trax's heavy hitting sound and the more percussive output of the city's acid techno scene, whilst 'Adorable Disorder' allows a pause for breath yet still shivers with the uncertainty of the future.

DJ Feedback ::

M_Step's roots go back to the heyday of Vienna's Cheap Records, and the echoes of that label's seminal style can still be heard on his TRUST debut: Stone-cold electro funk meets the kind of low-slung basslines and laid-back jazz chords that the Viennese producer, DJ, and (double) bassist contributed to classic releases of 550 Rondy, Pulsinger & Tunakan, Sluts 'n' Strings & 909, and even Kruder & Dorfmeister remixing Madonna. Fourth release in the 'Covert Systems' series

Perm is one of Leipzig's most busy producers and performers of electronic music. After releases on shtum, Mana All Nite, DUR, KANN and Nachtdigital in recent years, Holger is more than happy to welcome him with a four-tracker that o ers a deep insight into his vision of timeless Techno: Airy and yet

rmly grounded, with a foggy atmosphere that permeates a vast space of sound. It is trippy and hypnotic but also very bodily and highly energetic. With these qualities it

ts very nicely with Holger 11 (Polo) and 12 (Barnt) - a perfect closer for this mini triplet series, a concept that has become sort of a trademark for the label.

London-based Rumah offers his unique take on peak time techno. After contributions earlier this year to the Wolfskuil's 1st Secret Weapons and the 20 years compilation of James Ruskin's legendary Blueprint, he's now debuting in solo on Darko Esser's Wolfskuil with his brilliant 'A View To The Sea EP.'

The EP opens with the dynamic, multilayered atmosphere of the loop driven 'A View To The Sea' followed by 'Tobsha,' which rushes in with Detroit infused riffs and echoing vocal samples.

On the flip side 'DOR' kicks off with a sinister groove and a concrete, infectious rhythm, genuinely combined with fading melodic pads. The closing track 'Brief Reel' starts off stripped to each analogue elements, slowly building up to a track perfectly suited for closing a set.

Here comes the second Blind Spot Music vinyl with some of our favourite techno artists on the board. The original track Scattered produced by the Japanese Ryuji Takeuchi and it's a proper peak time smasher. Ryuji after a few remixes is finally landing with an original track on Blind Spot Music. In the past techno fans have heared his unique style on various releases on label likes of Nachtstrom Schallplatten, Sick Weird Rough, Huehelix or his own imprint Local Sound Network.
On the remix duties are: Mallorca's techno ambassador Angel Costa, who has released on some of the most prestigious labels of the techno scene such as CLR, Electric Deluxe, Micro.fon. The German Michael Schwarz, whose unique driving-techno materials came out on Driving Forces, Wall Music, Praxxiz and at last but not least Blind Spot's very own Dr Hoffmann & Gabeen. The duo is infecting the techno scene slowly with their lethal sounds.
The Scattered EP is not for the faint-hearted, serious underground techno beats on it.

Limited copies only

Third chapter of the project run by Sciahri (Opal Tapes / Ilian Tape) and Emanuele Porcinai (on Contort as WSR). UNKNOT03 features explorations of dense and warped rhythmical textures ('Strain', 'Vapor'), combined with fast-paced and propulsive pieces ('Lockt', 'Corrosion'). The sound palette remains consistent with the previous releases, where raw synthetic sequences are deployed to shape grooves and melodic lines and to ultimately create alienating artificial soundscapes.

REPRESSED !
Ultra bleak, minimal, ritual electronics. Debut releases from this new duo.

From the fertile fauna of the Swedish scene comes Vargdöd, the official pairing of Jonas Rönnberg and Anders Karlsson, better known´as Varg and Celldöd. Across six long form tracks the duo exercise their keen instinct for expansive, gloomy atmospherics and techno subtleties with a spirit that naturally aligns with the overcast outlook of Opal Tapes.

This outing is not the first time the two have been seen together. The ever-prolific Rönnberg adopted his Black Leather Harness alias to appear alongside Celldöd on Krig, the first cassette release on Karlsson's own Brutal Disciplin label. From those early manoeuvres in 2014 Karlsson has quickly established himself as a proponent of uncompromising, unconventional techno on labels such as Suction
Records and Kess Kill. Rönnberg meanwhile has continued to be a potent force both with his solo and collaborative work and at the helm of Northern Electronics, most recently releasing the third installment in his Nordic Flora series. On Brutal Discipline, the tones and textures shift but the mood remains consistently foreboding. The mechanical rhythms strain through distortion and the clouds of noise billow across vast space on opening track Kennel Murder Case', while the lingering minor pad on Starved To Death' spells out a more melodious foreboding behind the gently bludgeoning drum cycle. Bitten' takes a more tentative approach, letting its fuzzy backdrop slowly purr around the delicate, snaking patter of the percussion. Sharp, rasping beats take the lead in the barren landscape of Elite Dogs Of War', and yet still the opening scuff of K9 Warrior' will jerk your head around in a most uncomfortable of fashions. Here the noise is cloying, attaching itself to any sonic matter trying to peak through the muck, yet there's time and space for a militaristic narrative to unfold towards the climax of the track. That leaves it to No Dogs Go To Heaven' to round the release off in a suitably bleak fashion, placing the emphasis on low-end industrial pulse and swirling static firing out into an uncertain stereo field.

Yuji Kondo returns to Perc Trax for his first full EP on the label after the success of his remix of Sawf's 'Menete' a year ago. Like Sawf he relentlessly drives forward crafting his own vision of techno, blocking out as many outside influences as possible. Already gaining attention for both his Steven Porter collaborative project and his own Ducerey Ada Nexino side-project it is under his own name that Yuji releases his most uncompromising machine works.

It is almost pointless describing individual tracks from this 4-track EP, in the same way a cog should be viewed as part of a machine rather than a separate entity, but rest assured Yuji covers everything from martial 4/4 advancements to broken beat experiments here, each wrapped in just enough atmospheric sound to break up their rhythmic assault without ever taking away any of their power.

This is one of Yuji's most accomplished and high profile releases to date and comes backed up by a devastating live show that will hopefully be coming to Europe very soon...

finally the repress on LTD coloured Vinyl !!

Electronic music producer and DJ Greg Sanders AKA Distance returns with his third long player 'Dynamis', set for release through Tectonic Recordings on 21st October.

* Alongside recording 'Dynamis' over the past four years, Distance has been writing and producing for other artists including Riz MC, Jeb Loy Nichols and Jon More of Coldcut. Working with these artists helped open his mind to other styles of music and led to him veering away from his 140bpm roots. The productions of A$AP Ferg, Drake, Schoolboy Q and earlier Arca and FKA Twigs were a big influence, alongside the soundtracks of Hans Zimmer and Cliff Martinez.

* "I get inspiration from everywhere and deliberately try to ignore what is happening in the scene I'm most involved in. 'Dynamis' is influenced a lot by film scores, I have geeked out massively to create great dynamics in all of the tracks, sounds are heavily automated and processed to really give the music life."

* Even the structure of the tracks ditches the typical DJ friendly layouts and is programmed in an order that best helps to deliver the story. Some of the tracks give a subtle nod to this way of thinking - 'Sink or Swim', 'Paradigm', 'Instruction to Survive'.

* "I wanted to portray my willingness to progress and that I totally embrace the positives and negatives of change. If you stay stationary within any artform you will surely fail. I named a track "Fear Change" because most people would rather do anything other than change."

* As producer, DJ and label owner of Chestplate Records, Distance has been instigating change in music since emerging in 2003. Gathering early support from the legendary John Peel and going on to be part of the utterly seminal Dubstep Warz show on Radio 1 presented by Mary Anne Hobbs, he was a regular at seminal raves FWD, DMZ, Exodus and SUB:DUB and hosted on Rinse FM 2003-2012. With 12" releases on Tectonic and Hotflush; his first two albums 'My Demons' (2007) and 'Repercussions' (2008) were released through the respected label Planet Mu.

* "I feel very privileged to have released two albums on Planet Mu and they are still referenced by many as key albums in dubstep's history. Tectonic has been releasing my music for almost a decade, so it felt right me producing an album for the label. Pinch is a good friend and one of the few people who's opinion I trust."

* 'Dynamis' is the first Distance album to feature vocalists; helping to portray emotions, tell a story and aid the overall narrative of the album.

* "It was great recording them. When recording 'Badman' with Killa P I got him to stand as far away from the mic as possible and shout the lyric across the studio, as though he was shouting at someone across the street. We were cracking up at the time. I then used these recordings to create multiple layers and textures to his vocal, this gave the impression of there being a huge crowd of people chanting the chorus. Beezy was also a great artist to work with. We were done recording in about 20 minutes, he's so professional and knows exactly how to deliver the vocals the way I need them."

* The album's title is an ancient word: the original Greek meaning "heart, drive, power" and in English "the state of that which is not yet fully realized".

* "I always want my music to take you somewhere. Because I am experimenting more in sound design and tempo, I thought 'Dynamis' was perfect. In a sense I was trying to create something new. At the beginning of the process it hadn't yet been realised. Maybe only once it has been released and heard by the public it will be."

Vinyl reissue of 2012 "Psyops For Dummies" with two unreleased tracks: "Hypoalgesia" and "Cognitive Load Theory"Sherard Ingram - DJ STINGRAY - has been an active member in Detroit's electronic music community for nearly 25 years now. Never shy of a collaboration, Ingram spent much of the '90s teaming up with Carl Craig, Anthony 'Shake' Shakir and Kenny Dixon Jr. to create a rich downtempo sound as Urban Tribe, with culminated in the release of 1998's much-lauded The Collapse of Modern Culture album. He was then recruited to be the tour DJ for Drexciya in their final days, taking to the decks as DJ Stingray and masking his face from the audience, something he continues to do for all of his DJ appearances.

* Inaugurating the New Magnus Opus series of limited edition vinyl EP's on Khemia Records are two dynamic producers at the vanguard of the future techno I Hate Models and Vittorio Di Mango.

* On the Solar Side I Hate Models delivers 'Cyanure Dance' an epic voyage of full emotional intensity with an insistent acid bass line, psychedelic punk wave distortion, stratospheric arpeggios and ethereal vocals courtesy of the artist himself.

* On the Lunar Side Vittorio Di Mango present 'Epilessia' aimed straight to the jugular, a peak-time dance-floor destroyer constructed with machine gun precision over crystalline snares and opiated vocal reverberations.

* Between them they form the Nigredo Edition.

Soma's Italian connection, Roberto Clementi, makes a welcome return opening his 2016 account with the solid, Wall Of People. Including a top notch remix form Ilian Tape label heads, Marco & Dario Zenker. Robert has slowly been building his credentials in the Techno world with some fine releases and this driving number is another to add to increasing discography with Soma.

The Zenker Brothers remix opens the EP as the Munich based duo lend their deep and highly refined production talents to Wall Of People. Ruptured beats play havoc with a shimmering high end and rattling percussive elements all tied in with a pulsing, modulating synth hook that keep the track feeling fairly dark. Clementi's original shows a much harder edge to his previous work with big, sub heavy beats worked around a more pumped up rhythm and tearing synth line

Ryogo Yamamori announced the start of a new imprint called Kagerou in 2017, which focus on both digital and analogue releases. First cut Ryogo'ssolo Shakunetsu E.P. is this low-key Tokyo veteran techno artist's most ethereal work yet.

Panorama Bar regular Bwana unites his dual loves of vintage '90s electro and classic progressive trance on this three track EP for Dusky's 17 Steps label. Achieving widespread critical acclaim with last year's techno homage to the Akira soundtrack - 'Capsules Pride' - on LuckyMe, Bwana has since released EPs on his club ready home Aus and Fort Romeau's Cin Cin, as well as appearing on 17 Steps with a cult remix of Dusky's 'Ingrid Is a Hybrid' - itself something of a Panorama Bar favourite.
On this EP, the illustrious producer presents three contrasting but cohesive tracks in the dark acidic 'Three Way Is The Hard Way', hypnotic dark trance builder 'Hell Is Other Robots' and classic electro homage 'On Patrol For Their Control'. Completing the package, the inimitable Avalon Emerson bends 'Three Way Is The Hard Way' into a glitchy, percussive groover that builds crunchy layers of dark drums around the original's twisted sonics.

Carbone Records has been created as a platform for D Carbone's own powerful productions and for new collaborative projects. Carbon as an element represents darkness and energy which represents the concept and the sound of the label. The aim is to focus on a no compromise, raw, acid techno sound of the 90's.

A1 On the First Track D Carbone meets Gaja. Marzahn offers the right mix between the powerful and raw sound of D Carbone without losing that funky Chicago swing and Detroit groove that only Gaja can do.

A2 The second track Shout, Vocal screams bring evoking thoughts of free minds and bodies..
A powerful acid bassline and resonant background textures give anxious states of mind, with a cathartic approach of visualizing freedom.

B1 Acid Should be, It's not just a way to name a track, It's desire's expression of the soul.
A powerful kick drum, with a subtle message of psychedelic nostalgia from warehouse rave parties. 303 baselines envelope around 909 drum machines and acid vocals.

B2 Acid's Desire the slowest track on the Ep, Acid Life closes with the concrete message that acid is about communication of sound not related to the tempo, but to the vibe and the feeling that it represents.

Deptford based *Rob Perry* and regular *No Speakers* contributor offers up a vintage rave feeling interpretation, with cymbals and an uplifting lead synth things seem to weave in and out of the vocal. Rounding off the record in fine fashion.
