Except Live.

Jann arrives on Pinkman with a soundtrack of breathless panic, an ode to a blighted world of diesel fumes and indifference. Rhythms are grizzly, gored and torn. Thick chords judder, revving like a clapped-out engine as metal slashes at savaged snares. Acid scorn is poured on this inhospitable world, amplified by the haze of distortion that clouds Jann's hard and cold vision

ROGER 23, ORSON WELLS, PABLO MATEO and LEAVES deliver their versions of previously released tracks on 777. This limited double digit remix rally comes in a silk-screen printed cover!

Following on from his release on Beneath's Mistry imprint, Webstarr inaugurates his De Grey label with a three-track collection of bass-flecked techno.Opener 'We Can't Have Nice Things' evokes Punch Drunk and the Bristol sound as skittering beats deliver a two-step-like rhythm, propelled along by a synth melody that teases a potent breakdown. Meanwhile 'Warsaw' bumps along with a brooding bassline that gives way to multi-layered percussion direct from an Eastern Bloc steel mill.
Closing track 'Exit' changes gear to play to the floor as a piercing kick and clap drum pattern combines with the subtlest of sub-bass and sharp synths that probe behind your eyes to lift the track effortlessly in a 2016 nod to Detroit.

Following on from son.sine and Sven Weisemann on Delsin's deep and house leaning series of releases is Artefakt with a new three track affair entitled The Fifth Planet EP. The Dutch duo has been making music for the mind on labels like Field and Prologue for a few years, and are experts at conjuring up atmospheric grooves that seduce your soul. Opener 'Transit' is a thick, heavy and heady track with rubbery kicks tunnelling deep. Above it, smeared, sombre synths gets stretched and skewed into trippy forms and the whole thing has you as a slave to the groove. 'From Our Minds To Yours' is quicker and more overkill, but is again rooted in rolling rubbery kicks. Hypnotic once again, the synths here are lighter, more airy and more uplifting and induce trance like states of mind. Lastly, 'The Fifth Planet' steps it up another gear, with celestial melodic patterns, heavy synth daubs and spine tingling pads all expanding around a ticking techno groove. This is expertly crafted, serene and supple stuff that will sound perfect in the dead of night on some intimate and spaced out dancefloor.

Channel#9 collects five tracks of free flowing techno from Italy's Ascion. A talent who has graced labels like 3TH and Repitch, this EP balances floor fervour with subtle warm washes and colder echoes. The lulling wonders of "Anhatolia" hark back to a time of dreamlike ambience, that calm turning frosty in the early morning light of "Illusorium." Those arctic currents become knifelike in the jagged thump and bitter acid barbs of "Doubledpang" But the rasp never turns too venomous. "Fraxtile" and "Cybbar" are from a similarly murky place, reducing some of the throbbing pound to allow melting melodies to shift and swirl. Spirited and soulful with just a hint of serpentine. Limited to 250 coloured copies in a printed sleeve with a photo by the Dutch Photographer Awoiska van der Molen.

Bambi is back and as effective as ever!
50WEAPONS proudly presents two stripped back club tracks by Bambounou, our main man for dancefloor euphoria. Watch him drop both of the tracks in his Boiler Room set in Paris in September 2013 and you'll understand what we mean. YouTube commenters have since been all over these tracks.

'Feel Like This' is built around a hypnotizing vocal sample with hi hats sharp enough to cut a hole right through your braincells to activate your dance-nerves. Leaving your synapses to the mercy of the pounding kick drum which is fat enough to get everyone in the room moving.

'Onto This' sees Bambounou unleash his talents in a very NY-esque way, with those sharp skippy hats that are definitely drawing on UK garage and one of the grooviest organs we've heard since "Kaoz on King Street". Both tracks will definitely reap lots of support, from Panorama Bar to the beaches of Croatia and back to Paris.

Act Natural Limited. Vinyl only. 200 copies only. No repress no digital promo.

Much Too Hot To Be Cool, tippp!

(INC. TREVINO REMIX

One half of Laszlo Dancehall with Leon Vynehall, Christian Piers returns to Dusky's 17 Steps with three tracks of machine driven music aimed at the dancefloor.
Leading with the heavyweight techno of 'Detachment', the package also includes the dark mechanical rhythms of 'Expanse' and drum workout 'Strain', as well as Trevino's stripped back dub techno interpretation of 'Detachment'.

Nico Leschien and René Polley alias D. Instructed loves to play with the Filter and Effect knobs of their analogue synthezisers. Creating an unique character of electronic producing, somewhere between Chicago House ( Scrapped Box ) , dark Dub Techno ( Squirt Core ) and deep Detroit Sounds. ( Whitelake ). All tracks on the White Lake Ep sounds like a mix of 90´s grooves and futuristic modulation. "Gu´s Highfly Dub", a different version of Whitelake track, remixed by Gunnar Hemmerling, member of Eintakt label since the beginning. Floating Chord sounds, very deep and nice hypnotic flow..... Enjoy

D. Instructed ( alias Dirty Instructed ) also runs "Funk Injacktion" label, keep in mind, nr. 03 will come soon.

The Berlin based electronic label Eintakt' was established by Markus Lang aka Dj Plastique in 2001. In the beginning his own productions together with Telly Quin where in the foreground. In the course of upcoming releases Plastique invited more and more musicians from the steady growing friendship and surrounding of Eintakt records to release on the label.
The philosophy of the Eintakt label is to keep the electronic underground alive while being open-minded for further development. During the last 15 years many national and international artists joined the Eintakt mosaic and generated a label that evolved to a multicultural musical concept.
The labels independent and varied distribution structures made it possible to found new projects and concentrate on experimental sounds and grooves.
With every new release Eintakt gives artists the opportunity to even create their own graphics and design for the release, and to generate an individual work.
Thanks to all friends and artists, giving the label permanent creative inspirations. The Eintakt platform was expanded with the sublabels Hot Content' , Rare' and Townhousemusic'.

"When the sky turns dark, the world sounds a lot different." (De:Bug)
Dark Sky represent progression. The London duo have never settled for a specific sound nor dwelled in a single niche too long. What's striking about all their releases is their passionate love for all kinds of electronic music not exclusively dance floor related. This is no different with Othona, the second album from Dark Sky on Monkeytown Records. Across nine tracks Matt Benyayer and Tom Edwards manage to reinvent themselves once more by merging contemporary techno, classic electronica and their roots in British bass music into a touching and thrilling whole.

With releases on Black Acre, 50WEAPONS, Tectonic and Mister Saturday Night, Dark Sky have numerously proved their versatility. There's the vibrant deep house of In Brackets, the colourful 2step and breakbeat excursions on Black Rainbows and the vocal-laden melancholia of imagin. Othona picks up on the sound of their 2014 debut and tweaks it just in the right spots. Matt and Tom left vocals off altogether and left the intriguing melodies, shapeshifting rhythms and heavy bass do all the dramatic work. This album reveals them as an integral part of the Monkeytown family as well as innovators in their own right.

A large part of Othona is the result of Dark Sky's touring experience. Years of putting together their live sets encouraged them to focus on hardware instruments and samplers, preferring a more hands-on approach to computer screens. The album is also heavily inspired by photos and field recordings they took of isolated structures within different landscapes. One particular location which caught their attention was Bradwell-on-Sea in Essex, which is based on an ancient Roman fort called "Othona". After visiting the site on numerous occasions they discovered a small self-sustaining community of people living right beside the structure, which had its roots in the aftermath of the Second World War. "Its early pioneers created a movement that sought to pursue reconciliation and understanding between people of different faiths, cultures and nationalities', Matt and Tom explain. "This notion of harmony between individuals really inspired us".

The idea of harmony is not only rendered in the artwork by Harry Cresswell, which was based around the location, but can be heard throughout the album. Othona is always challenging and never takes the easy route, but its tracks constantly reveal the purest form of beauty. The title track opens the album and gently introduces its musical range with emotive pads, elaborate beat programming and subtle club signifiers, which steadily develops into the epic midtempo trance of "Domes". The slightly nostalgic synth melodies and cute bleeps of "Badd" bring to mind classic Aphex, which is never a bad thing, while "The Walker" channels ubiquitous melancholy into a standout moment of euphoria. Dark Sky are never short of emotional elements, but they know very well where to put them. Just listen to closing track "Field Tower", giving the kick drum its final overwhelming appearance - no doubt that this is going to be a highlight in their new live set.

Detroit rooted techno and ambient 3 tracker from DLS, a new project from one that always stayed anonymous in his productions over 20 years.

FR Fels is making his debut on Ortloff Records with a four track journey through analogue mindscapes. Record and sleeve are provided with a phosphorescent silkscreen print.

(rod remix) After tearing apart the Mary Go Wild Basement last year, Gregor Tresher returned to Amsterdam for the worldwide release of his new Quiet Distortion album on vinyl. He left us with a track that needs to be heard. We got him in touch with another Basement legend, Benny Rodrigues, who obviously didn't hesitate to join in and make the remix under his ROD Malmok techno alter ego.

Robert Hood Remix!

Released in a limited edition of 70 copies. Artwork made by Kir and printed on heavy duty paper. Recorded live during an Ekstrakt party, in the legendary Medika squat in downtown Zagreb. KIR is the production moniker of WhyBaneWhy, resident DJ of Belgrade's dankest technoclub, Drugstore. Bane's sets incorporate a wide range of influences and travel far off the beaten path, drawing in influences from techno to new wave to power electronics, obscure ambient, folk music, twisted echoes found deep in lost wormholes and whatever else it takes to distort your feelings, lost and disorientated whilst working up a sweat. KIR takes all this and pushes the envelope with punishing hardware. Its visceral music, embracing drones, repetition, rippling soundscapes and obscure sonic horizons, to boldly go where others throw in the towel.

Canadian Paolo Rocco kickstarts the New Year with his Judgement EP on Hot Creations. The first release of 2017 is an international affair, with Manchester born Trevino and one of the most spoken names of last year, Greece native Detlef on remix duties.
Initially making a name for himself through his DJing skills back home in Montreal, Paolo's productions entered the market in 2012 with instant international support. His releases on Real Tone, One Records, Saved and others were all met with high acclaims as were the compilations he mixed for Defected and Get Physical. The creation of, 'Judgement' and 'That's It' prove Paolo truly understands what works on the dance floor.
2016 saw Detlef reach new heights whilst also debuting on Hot Creations with his 'Kinky Tail' EP. He returns to the label with a devastating edit of 'Judgement' and his rolling signature sound.
Trevino aka Marcus Intalex ramps up the EP with his remix, centred around shimmering high hats and a freaky groove. A champion of how a DJ can achieve success in two different genres, Trevino has released on several of the most praised drum & bass and techno labels for a number of years.

A new ExoPlanets release is coming out from the 30drop shuttle. Univac, a side project of Geistform's mastermind Rafa M. Espinosa, presents Unknown Radio', an electrocharged bomb EP. Starting with Detroitian electro- heritage, Univac, push up the style into a rhythmical, elegant and contemporaneous status. Four original tracks and a remix by the legendary Der Zyklus (Drexciya, Dopplereffekt, Arpanet,...). Unknown Radio', the homonymous track, opens up the work backward- looking to the techno dancefloor. Lunik' purpose a cold and explicit electro discourse, well understood and remanufactured by the hands of Der Zyklus. Null' is an electrical discharge and, finally, an energy-boost called Zender' closes the work. Unquestionable job.

Another day, another project here at Hizou. This time the first in our Special series of strictly-limited vinyl releases focusing on another side to the electronic music we love, yes, a little different to the classic Chicago and Detroit-inspired sounds of our main label, but with just the same passion, pride and panache. Friend of the label W&P Hgg (aka Hugo Giner) returns with Techno Is Back, a cut darker and more twisted than the timeless and jazz-influenced house he is usually associated with, while the enigmatic Ithkuil debuts with Speak My Language, a slice of truly dope deepness. The much-touted duo Gauss enhance their rapidly-growing reputation with Diversey River Bowl, another uncompromising delivery of machine funk, whilst the vastly-experienced pairing of Jaime Read and Owen Jay join forces on Aalto, a groovy, acid-inspired little number.

Techno and Sound Landscapes with the classic Viennese flair.

Entkunstung 001 'Darstellung' by Adorno, is the first music release from Vienna's Art Project Entkunstung': a platform dedicated to promote art, music and theory.

Angelehnt an ein legendäres Konzert im Mai 2008, bei dem das Pariser Symphonieorchester Les Siècles unter seinem Dirigenten Francois-Xavier Roth Kompositionen des Detroiter Techno-Produzenten Carl Craig in vollkommen neue Klangsphären überführte, erscheint nun das Album "Versus", das diese Konzeption aufgreift und in Perfektion vollendet. Dabei wirkt der französische Pianist Francesco Tristano als Mediator, der Craigs Techno-Sounds in klassische Partitionen transformiert. Als zusätzlicher Spiritual Advisor war Carl Craigs langjähriger Freund und Wegbegleiter Moritz von Oswald an den Aufnahmen beteiligt, mit dem er zusammen in 2008 das legendäre "Recomposed" Album bei der Deutschen Grammophon veröffentlichte. Traditionelle Klassik-Orchestrierung trifft elektronischen Underground-Sound!

Informationstechno was released on cassette in 2014 via Zeon light and it was nominated for best Swedish dance album of the year at Manifestgalan 2015. During 2015 the band received attention from Swedish radio P2 and P3 and performed a series of gigs at home in Stockholm.
The second album 'Informellt' was released on Lamour 2015 and a remix album called 'Reformellt' released early 2016.
Motormännen make information techno infused with an air of Swedish nostalgia through a filter of retro-futuristic skepticism. The music is packed with minimal acid loops and samples with excerpts from Swedish politicians, documentaries and Christer Glenning, reflecting on times when the cold war and the traditional welfare state were dissolving. Inhibitions were relaxed and new, foreign influences crept into the body of society and the old information monopolies. Motormännen's tracks are visually enhanced by messages from pictures and videos from the 1970's and 80's.

Stepping up next for EarToGround you have arguably one of the best Techno producers from Ireland.

Tracks included cover the full spectrum of Myler's dynamic range, via an excellent display of Techno. Visually Myler sent himself out and took some photos of the industrial estate he used to work at, of which can be seen in the cover artwork with our own EarToGround angle included.

We hope you enjoy the suspense.

Singular records is very happy to welcome Rich Jones aka Operator for this new release, the Sing-R 8.Energy is the word that comes to my mind for this one, it's an EP full of intensity, perfectly produced and dosed, crafted for the floor, that allies quality and efficiency, with a full range of sonorities.

Cosmin TRG's Fizic is proud to present its first 2017 release, from an exciting new name. Serb is born and raised in Craiova, Romania, where he spent his youth playing guitar in Nihilistic, a local punk band. In 2014 he released his debut 12 on Transient Recs. His sophomore record is a prime example of his unique, cerebral take on dance music. Qui Vive is a somber, syncopated elegy of rugged elegance, with fizzy drums and percution filtering in and out over the fragile melody. Feet Locked is analog honey poured into your post-rave ear. After-glow synths follow an expertly modulated bass. Finally, Persistent Prick echoes the esotheric explorations of Actress, with added twisted funk. Serb's impressive talent and exuberance flow through his music, expect more from our new signing in the very near future. Qui Vive arrives on Fizic on March 24, 2017 (12/ Digital) Original cover artwork by Cosmin Nicolae

"A CELEBRATION OF 5 YEARS INDIGO ÆRA"

Over the course of the past five years, Amsterdam based label Indigo Aera has evolved in to one of the most trustworthy and respected contemporary Detroit techno labels around.

Poverty Is Violence kicks off 2017 with a 4 track EP written by a well known soldier of the house / techno scene, Having notched up releases on numerous go to labels, he has established himself as one of the most consistent and talented artists of the last decade.

Covariant (his pseudonym for Poverty Is Violence) takes the tougher driving elements of forward thinking techno and merges it with the house sensibilities of early Chicago and New York. He delivers 3 storming tracks that come with a killer remix from Poverty's other secret warrior of the dance, XXX.

A1 Hum, combines killer distorted synth lines with huge pounding kicks driving along at a rate of knots, and having been extensively road tested it's safe to say it kicks hard on the floor.

A2 Devils Drums is a psychedelic drum work out that sounds like it was produced by the dark lord himself. Rolling distorted hats, snares and kicks tear your face off like John Travolta on crystal meth. Proper food for the dance floor.

B1 Hum (XXX remix) XXX returns to Poverty with his killer synth antics. Waves of heaviness attack your senses like soldiers storming a beach -it's pure dance floor murder cultivated and designed to destroy the floor and your mind.

B2. Druggy Drum is a pounding melodic acid workout. A funked out backline and drugged out rolling beats keep the workout chugging whilst spacey atmospherics encompass you as the track rolls forward with an abstract, ever developing Mills-esque riff - killer stuff.

This ep is already supported by those in the know including, Delta Funktion , DJ Pete, john heckle, Bas Mooy, Ben Sims, Charlton, Shifted, 65D Mavericks, Kamikaze Space Program, James Ruskin, Simon Shreeve / Monic, Stranger, J.Tjin, Damcase, 138 and many more.

Bristol has long been known for its deep love of everything dubwise, from reggae through to the flourishing bass scene the city is now synonymous with. Hailing from this melting pot, dubspeeka continues the tradition with 3 heavy cuts that effortlessly blend speaker punishing subs with the driving, crisp techno that Oliver Huntemann's new Senso Sounds label is becoming known for. First up is Move - the title an unavoidable directive seemingly emitted from the propulsive groove. The track oozes menace and tension -its heads-down attitude will go over big on harder-edged dance floors. Likewise, title track Fargo is relentless in its mission - the tough bottom end and tight groove is offset by some surprisingly subtle pads - but the result remains a hypnotic bruiser of a cut. Spiral Tribe, named after the legendary free party warriors of the 90s, completes the release. Every bit as at home in a dark warehouse as a outdoor rave, dubspeeka seems to be flying the flag for true tough-as-nails party music - and long may it continue.

Vincent Koreman aka RA-X joins up with Herr Muller to form a new and rockin' Optimus Prime, once again exploring the danceflo

Straight from the raves of the 90's Luciano Lamanna comes back on Scuderia with a brand new killer EP: obscure and devastating, "The Nihilst' destroy all your certainty biting you with doubt and sin. Pure italian techno without any compromise. Comes in limited 12" vinyl.

Tribecore and Hardcore... Music sampling big radio hits

Last Trasmissions from Solaris was inspired by the Stanislav Lem's novel Solaris, a journey into techno-soul emissions explored by the talent of passEnger. It combines a subdole sci-fi atmosphere with solid techno approach and scientific electro incarnation. Here you can find a direction if your soul needs an utopian vision of the future.The closest thing to Detroit we've been able to produce over the years.

Die Orakel presents four 16 step sequencer excursions by Roman Flügel.

PL007 is the beginning of a duo with Praymond and Thomas Murphy.
It all started by setting up a temporary music studio in an old farm made of stones in the french countryside during the heat wave of Summer 2016 in France

First, plug a microphone and start recording a couple of dry leafs crunched with gentle hands and mixed with the sound of ice cubes tingling at the bottom of a Pastis' glass add to this some brushes played on a newspaper and fingers banging on the edge of a Kalimba, then finally, build around with your drum machines and analog synths.
The result is a classy brand a alternative minimal techno, mixing acoustic rhythmics and relentless swing.

None of the tracks were designed for massive big room' type techno with big drops' and  never ending build ups' but more for human size bounding experiences and never ending after partys.

Both slow burning tracks have in common a introspective quality, specially Les Cailloux but both tracks remain Solar in essence. 
Cadillac has a more Gold tooth & Chains attitude to it and could remind the listener (If he ever had the experience) of being on the run in a get away car, stepping on the gas, crossing the desert with an open roof top after robbing our dear financial institutions :)

Panel Trax has grown international due to the producers and the trax being played abroad. The label is releasing trax in the spectrum of techno, acid, minimal, detroit, ambient and dub.
It is into oldschool a new things as well but doesn't want to follow the actual trends. It just has a focus on atmosphere and sounding.

Once again Life and Death presents an assemblage of some of today's finest artists with a Various Artists release of such high quality that it could have easily stood out as distinct and separate releases. But together these producers and their contributions combine to create something even greater than the sum of their parts. A story assembled from different voices that slowly builds from Sei A's opening Muladhara-centered Hyper Venom' and takes off from there, following the path of these musical Mahatmas as they riff on various states of elevation.

Following Sei-A's opener is Locked Groove's shift to the Undenary with Eleven', a triumphant score for the everyman's ascent. From there, the ever adept Scuba comes strong with Glacial', a deep track that shifts focus back and forth between both what lies below the surface and what climbs above it. And then, finishing the rise upward is Alex.Do's expertly woven Rising' which delivers on the promise that its title offers, never backing down and moving ever onwards and upwards even in its final rising tones.

The fourth release on Bjarki and Johnny Chrome Silver's bbbbbb Records, comes hot on the heels of the first. Two and three are limited run, vinyl only, hand stamped releases to be sought out from your local dealer.
Bjarki returns as Cucumb45 with the 5-track EP 'Something Weirdcore'. On the surface there are elements of jungle, breakbeat, techno and rave, but to say this spans genres would be an understatement - it defies them.
The title track instantly commands attention with breaks samples offset against indecipherable robotic groans and melancholic chords, but a sudden change of drum pattern shows this is more than a reprieve of known territory - it's a voyage away from the limits of tempo and genre.
This theme is explored throughout the EP by way of unnerving stripped back techno (Akureyri), electro with subtle inflections of dancehall (Comatack) and even a big beat/dub influenced jam (Music for Advertising). As Cucumb45 plays with genres as we know them, so he does with the emotional resonance of the release. Frequently switching from euphoric to anxious, each track is a testament to his incredible attention to detail. Simply put, this is music for those who hate to be labelled.

DREF033 sees the return of two long time label friends and contributors, the Scottish Deepbass and the Italian Ness. Despite the fact that both of them are prolific enough solo acts as it is, once in a while they combine forces and deliver a co-produced masterpiece, to which the Outer Limits EP is no exception.

However, make no mistake: the fact they have found their signature sound, does not mean they aren't constantly reinventing themselves. For this occasion, the two have made sporadical use of euphorical synth sounds, even gently alluding to trance at some point. Apart from that, they have adequately built their ever-evolving soundscapes upon subtly processed percussion.

A welcome addition to the two original tracks presents itself in the form of the talented producer Shlomo. The Frenchman has given his version of Outer Limits a powerful breakbeat foundation, making this EP into more of what it already was: a match made in heaven.

DJ Bone is Differ-Ent.

But then again, he always has been. A pioneer DJ and producer hailing from Detroit, whose technical skills are perhaps only equalled by the upper echelons of the city's most advanced techno trailblazers, he's nonetheless forged a path only of his own. Eschewing commercial expectations, scene pressures and anything other than his own exquisite taste, Bone has earned a vital, dedicated audience while remaining comfortably and individually underground.

Despite his stellar reputation, Bone's recent studio activities have steered him towards a new, altogether more personal direction. In late 2015, Differ-Ent's arrival on Don't Be Afraid with the 'Differ-Ent(Hrall)' EP paved the way for its follow-up, 'M.O.M.:' both were forceful slabs of psychedelic outsider techno, with the latter taking on a tangible emotional resonance as it honoured the memory of Bone's late mother. 'M.O.M.' quickly became one of the label's best celebrated and widely played releases. Bone, typically self-sufficient and known to turn down remixes for huge clubbing brands, was impressed by the Bristol label's honesty and persistence. As he continued to rock parties internationally, Bone set to work on an LP embracing his deeper, darker and more cerebral side.

Not that 'It's Good To Be Differ-Ent has found Bone veering away from the dancefloor. "It's like, the natural vibe for me is always going to be funky", admits Bone. "It's going to swing, it's going to have that element of soul. But the Differ-Ent vibe is almost angrier. Determined, perhaps is a better word. I would typically just go to the studio when I had an idea. To the point where I say, 'OK, I'm going to do something, I'm going to make it happen.' But the process for Differ-Ent...it's kinda methodical. It's borderline predictable. But the thing that makes it Different is that it could go any which way at any given time. And it can be harder edged usually, or it can go in a soundtrack direction."

Film plays a significant influence on the landscape of Differ-Ent, with the record's more melodic flourishes sometimes designed to evoke the doubtlessly imaginative chase sequences swimming around Bone's mind. If Bone's usual movements are 'Do The Right Thing', his Spike Lee joint, then in his own words, 'It's Good To Be Differ-Ent' is his tribute to Paul Verhoven's 'RoboCop'.

"The only way I think the album evolved differently was the electro stuff", recalls Bone. "I was excited about that. Because that was a different type of electro as well. It wasn't a normal, 80s funk kinda electro. It completely separates you. It's still for the dancefloor, but it's almost as if it shakes you to dance, rather than coaxes you."

'It's Good To Be Differ-Ent' certainly feels powerful, mastering a mix of Drexicyan tones and drums that align more with a newer wave of house and techno experimentalists. Many of these, from Hodge to Ø/Phase, have been an influence on Differ-Ent, all sharing what Bone describes as a unique affinity with "creepy shit." It's his thunderous, occasionally paranoid but overwhelmingly positive contribution to a forward thinking European scene he has come to relate to on a par with his native Detroit.

Much of ''It's Good To Be Differ-Ent' has been inspired by Bone's frustration. Frustration with the modern political system as well as the creative conservatism of his own scene. In the studio, he has created a unique riposte. But the commercial pressure Bone has always avoided is only growing stronger. Is it harder than ever to be truly different

"It's harder for the majority of people", observes Bone. "For me, it's really easy. I've been preparing myself for this for years."

Let Love Melt You Away.DSR.MR is a collaboration between Cloudface & Patricia.

While the saying goes that writing about music is like dancing about architecture, this seems to be rather unfitting when it comes to artistic works like ELECTRIC INDIGO's release for the next installment on SCR-DARK SERIES, the techno-leaning sub-label of Berlin's SUICIDE CIRCUS club enterprise of over 20 years of existence.
Depending from which angle you look at it, her forthcoming record is either a legit piece of artistic expression well worthy of being written about, due to her incorporation of digital bits, pieces and sound bites, ranging from fragments of granular sound synthesis to chopped-up voice recordings or spectral processings - while at the same time, it's simply two beautiful pieces of reduced, smart and abstract club music to listen and dance to, each accompanied by a hefty remix from a couple of hand-picked fellows in the likes of Bill Youngman and Dadub. Berlin's notorious techno stalwart BILL YOUNGMAN contributes a distinct interpretation with his slightly broken peak-time banger of a take on 'Cinq', wilst DADUB, the duo made up of two of the core artists (and mastering wizards) of the well-renowned Stroboscopic Artefacts-imprint, reconstruct the original 'Zero' to a fiercely pumping, blacker-than-black monster.
Yes, we are indeed very excited about this release, obviously, and we're really looking forward to seeing it hit the stores soon, as it turned out to be a rare case of heartfelt cooperation between like-minded souls and, first and foremost, friends, who engaged in a DIY effort to then have it culminate in an adventurous record - a kind of approach that, as another saying goes, was once referred to as True Spirit.

Antimatter's third release is a new project by F-on & Bule, dedicated to slow drone techno with field recordings and other 4x4 experiments.

Limited to 250 worldwide, with the first 100 including full black and white cover art.
Following up the fantastic summer re-release of Upsetting Keys Empathy' EP, Path Records follows with its first new catalogue number since 2006. Path 008 marks the return of artist Fate 258, whose 1999 Why 2k' Path 001 EP has been a hotly sought after item on Discogs.
The three-track EP contains two exciting new mixes of cult classic techno track The Path'. The a-side version Path to Hell' is the harder of the pair, a dark edgy journey into the unknown with shuffling 808 rhythms providing much of the melody. Path to Heaven' slows the groove down and adds warm Juno pads throughout the mix for a very deep Detroit flavored techno style. On the final track Heaven or Hell' sort of a broken beat downtempo piece, sparse vocals and Bladerunner samples mix to complete the dystopian concept. These mixes of The Path' are considered pre-mixes, as they were completed in 1998 before the original release of Path 001. Fate 258 is a project from Brooklyn producer Reade Truth, known for his work over the last decades on labels such as Planet E, Sonic Groove, N-Syde, Wurst and Strictly Rhythm to name a few.

Foreboding title, foreboding sounds. Berlin's redoubtable Oliver Deutschmann joins the Hotflush roster with "In The Moment of Death We Have No Regret'. 3 club-ready weapons, one blissed-out ambient cut. Do we really need to describe them in flowery prose No. Just listen and play. Loud.

Spencer Parker returns on his own imprint this March with a four-track track release as Part Two of the Three Part 'Different Shapes And Sizes' series.

Following on from the raw and stripped back House jam aesthetic as seen in Part One, Parker kicks off this Techno release with 'Size Information' - a track with driving kicks, subtle atmospherics, and infectious panning percussion.

Next up is 'Shape Deviation', which hones in on a twisted 303 arpeggio and is saturated in white noise and backed up with entrancing drums, before 'Shape Fascination' goes into full drum machine workout mode with off kilter 808 claps fuelled by a hypnotic synth bass line.

'Size Devotion' rounds off the release with its raw and distorted kicks and simplistic yet effective mesmeric male vocal samples.

Classic Acid Techno, the first full EP on SUF from one of the leaders of the nu school

Separate disc of the POLEGROUP 5YRS vinyl box.

Who Whom is a new label from Paul Rose. The artists are various, the sound particular.
The first 12' comprises tracks by Isaac Reuben, Bleak, Markus Suckut and Antonio Ruscito, and is titled 'Curse of Sherwood'.

New Joy Orbison

Tymoteus Cypla & Sebastian Pellowski are not like the average Polish youth slightly dumbed down by the Pan-European TV channel, Viva Zwei. They are probably the last producers daring to qualify their own music as 'TRANCE'. But for "THE SAME", this word 'Trance' is not a label stamped to a record. For them, the word means a journey in a limitless space and time frame, which brought them to get to meet, whereas they were living hundreds of kilometres from each other.

From their encounter came out a first EP entitled 'We are the Same' released by the very respected net label, Phatt Sounds. In 2010, one of their track 'Szarpiesz Minerwa' slipped into Agoria´s 'Balance' mixed compilation and a new relationship starts with the crew of InFiné (check their Podcast inspired by Gaspar Noé`s 'Enter the Void' on the InFiné website). A dark and cinematic atmosphere can characterize their Music. They build up their musical outputs with ready-to-rumble basslines, vicious synth-waves and explosive hi hats.

The Fungeez EP could not find any better shelter than InFiné : mutant and hors catégorie like most of the release of the label. Its four tracks are equally sick and euphoristic and display a sound power, which will set fire to any dancefloor.

Anatomia del cavallo', three tracks' EP, out on Danza Tribale, new label founded by Adiel, roman Dj and producer.
As a shaman lady, she guides us through her rite of passage into a mental sonic flow.The mingling of ancient tribal dances and nowdays techno.A humans' story about their origins. The archetype's narration, on how space and time feed the body, a true rite of passage where this three tracks represent the three levels' rite: separation, transition and incorporation.Listen! Anatomia del cavallo'. The vocal followed by a cyclic bass, rests on atmospheric textures. Wood and rims wake us up. Drum kick 909 and tom. Basslines create hypnotic patterns. Drop down that suspend the atmosphere getting us back on earth through minimal rhythmics that accentuate ancestral grooves.Il cavallo', a liminal space, where we get through a symbolic passage made of 808 and 909 's classic sounds, synths that oscillate from background to foreground, leading to upbeat percussions.The rhythmic pause pushes out of the dark and synths open up creating sensual atmospheric levels.Six minutes and thirty-five seconds of pure mentalism reflects the hyperuranium.Tecniche', the third phase, the incorporation one, with an elegant and clear sound, where percussions constantly change creating polyphonic interweaves. The kick is straight, hard, rhythmic, throbbing. Rims bang, dissolving in a deep loop and atmospheric levels. A vocal spectrum gets to life and slowly deep into our mind leaving the place to magnetic drums.A combination of ancestral sounds and techno.Ethnicism melted to the more drastic digital modernism.

After a fine first EP on the label in 2105, Dutch duo Artefakt are back on Delsin with The Mental Universe. This four track EP again finds Robin Koek and Nick Lapien showcasing their knack for spellbinding grooves of voodoo techno, absorbing ambient and frictionless drum programming after other outings on the likes of Prologue and Field Records.

one of the biggest techno classics strikes back with real phat remix by ortin cam !!! limited 1-sided pressing !!

Jericho One is kicking off 2017 with this new 12" from artist Ken Finger, a collaboration between Mickey Pearce (Swamp 81) and Brackles. It features four tracks and again marks out this Creme Organization off shoot as a no-nonsense house label that is full of surprises. Thanks For Those is a stop start brew of echoing cowbells, pitched up vocals and warped synths that are tied to a busted beat. It sounds like little else and is sure to kick start any party. Bury the Beds is a harder affair, with blasted drums and sci-fi electronics, whirring machine sounds and uncontrolled snares and hits all slapping you about the face. On the flip, Tongues Under A Hammer slows the tempo. Scattered claps, alien lifeforms and sub heavy bass all do a slow and unpredictable dance and you will do the same. Last of all, From Telly to Belly plays with muffled vocals, drilling bass screws and metallic hits and sounds like an underground trap tune reimagined for freaky dance floors. This is a hard to categorise EP that is full of fascinating twists and turns.

After his debut 12" on FREERANGE in '13, KITO JEMPERE (SAINT PETERSBURG DISCO SPIN CLUB) releases this sampler from his forthcoming album out on his own FATA MORGANA label.

* Comprised of Australian artists Mark Groves and David Coen, 'Go To Hell, You Bastards !' is Seeping's debut release on Resistance / Restraint. Sparse and crawling vocals layered against serrated rhythmic noise.
* Mastered by James Plotkin (KK Null/Khanate)

Deconstructed techno music. Massive sub bass drums echo as modular pistons squelch in dehumanized sufferance. Pensive visions of an industrialized planet too far gone. The third release on TEARS OF JOY (the label run by one of the members of PACIFIC HORIZONS) . Limited edition of 200.

Trainer liefert mit der Zirkeltraining EP sein Eröffnungsspiel, welches zugleich ein Heimspiel für ihn ist, auf Pristine Music ab. A1 ist ein minimal-elektronisches Vocal Stück welches auf jeden Fall einen hohen wieder Erkennungswert als Stürmer aufweist und den ein oder anderen Hattrick für sich buchen wird. A2 + B1 sind astreine, klar strukturierte Techhouse Tracks die hauptsächlich für den Dancefloor produziert worden sind und im Mittelfeld das Spiel machen werden. B2 geht dafür etwas tiefer und rundet die Mannschaft als Libero ab. Alles in allem eine sehr groovige und doch treibende Mannschaft die der Trainer hier auflaufen lässt.

Deus Record's TV Baby remix package drops six varying yet cohesive reworking of the New York duo. To shed new light on three of the band's tracks, the label has craftily pieced together an international cast of electronic artists capable of reinterpreting the psychedelic and free jazz influences of the project for the dance floor. The resultant reworks give the tracks solid functionality while staying faithful to the
band's influences and standing firmly within the label's ethos.
On first drop Secret Circuit's penchant for melodic, euphoric sounds meets Free Tech head on, the LA producer's trippy, driving remix focuses on fine-tuning and blending the more musical elements and vocals, with kaleidoscopic results.
Former band mate and Rub n Tug's very own Tom of England turns the package on its head and drops a mechanical, Balearic meets Punk take on Wild Joy. Turning things off the beaten dance floor trail, the mix is as blissful as it is claustrophobic.
Trus'me is an artist who knows a thing or two about the collaborative aspect of the remix, he is also a man whose continually evolving creative process make his remixes so unpredictable and vital. Currently exploring spaced out dance floor dynamics, the experienced Manchester producer puts a Detroit spin on Klerin Priest, turning in a slice of broken electro funk with a distinct UK flavour.London-based Ivan Smagghe has long been a proponent of industrial sleaze and brings his vast experience to bear on his chugging, restrained, 'Crossed' remix of Klerin Priest. The Frenchman's 'Ghetto' mix is even more reduced and touches on the now resurgent minimal sound.
With musical cycles once again aligning towards a more stripped back, tripped out approach, both mixes tap into the essence of Smagghe's undeniable, electro-leaning influence on the darker dance floors of today.All four producers twisted, experimental and driving effort's ensure that all of TV Baby's musical ethos is explored across six varied and divergent tracks.

it is surreal

* Haunter Records' 2017 kicks off with two new displays of aural expansion by longtime members of the Milan-based crew. Twin singles from Weightausend and Petit Singe that also mark the label's first ventures into 7" format. Through heavy use of darkened breakbeats and angular dynamics, each of the two producers sets out to have their unique sonic approach ring on throughout the sprawl.

Matthias Girardi AKA Weightausend keeps on compiling his private neuroses in a process that seems to achieve catharsis through gloomy analysis and maniacal surgical dissection. Hammering down on his dubwise tendencies and his love for the dark side of jungle, he gives out his most club-oriented work to date, channeling two new bassy rollercoasters, including a new version of "Green Death".

Brainquake´s first release. These guys are very crazy and he show her talent with this track. A mix of a nice melody and

Substrato Records features techno veteran Edit Select on its most recent release, Points Of Contact. The EP is in line with Substrato's signature sound - stripped down hypnotic percussion with deep ties to techno's past. At the EP's outset, Edit Select layers straightforward loops into complex textures, weaving careening synth lines through skittering hi hats and driving kicks. Faction 1.1 brings the composition to a subdued close with warm, thrumming percussion that evokes a propulsive ethereality. At its fourth release, Substrato has firmly established itself as a techno label adept at driving techno with psychedelic, shamanistic impulses.

Denver based GILA's background as a jazz drummer as well as his involvement as one-half of hip hop duo Gorgeous Children has helped him approach electronic music from a different angle. 'I'm stylistically indebted to hip hop and I think it's at the core of all my songs, but I'm equally interested in pulling inspiration from industrial sounds and nature' he explains. 'When I set out to make a song, I let the textures and rhythms dictate what it should become, rather than pursuing a specific genre or style.' Taking inspiration from such a diverse range of places then has helped shape GILA's music in to something denser, darker and otherworldly.

Golden Pudel resident Helena Hauff teams up with the mighty Andreas Gehm for a split ACID record par excellance. 303303303303303303303303303 all the way!!! you know the game!!! comes on yellow marbled green vinyl.

After 10 succesful years on the scene and almost 2 years in with the ThanQ Music label, Marina Karamarko is putting first, long - awaited ThanQ Vinyl release on the market.

In this expertly curated record, containg two tracks from Marina Karamarko and two remixes, she once again proves her quality and her personal need for unique sound in a electronic music world. First Karamarko's track Come closer blends deep, hypnotic sound with a heavy bass, including dark, meancing vocals to narrate her music style in the underground music scene. The second track Can't get you is a fresh sounding product from Marina Karamarko, spiced up with tender moments, but it's not lacking in the weight and it's like other, underground dancefloor-friendly.

On the remix duties we have strong individuals and amazing artists, Marwan Sabb (SCI-TEC, Insomnia Rec.) and Reelow (Solid Grooves, Moan). Marwan's interpretation is going in the dub techno direction, with strong hooks and dark beats, while Reelow goes in his recognisable jazzy tech grooves which are perfect to get the party in the right mood!

The remixes add a big flare to the whole collection, more than suitablle for the first THANQ Vinyl release.

The whole production is peculiar, dynamic and sharp.

Chicago DJ and producer Olin follows up the debut release on his new record label, Boundary Movement, with TPI featuring four diverse cuts. Up-tempo electro, moody minimalism, old-school melodies, and chugging deep house all woven seamlessly.
The A side begins with TPI,' an exercise in minimalism and micro-detail. Unmistakably Olin's own, insistent synth stabs keep time while needlepoint percussion keeps the ear guessing. If you thought Olin's palette was limited to techno and house, A2 Corsaren' will prove you wrong — this is pitch-perfect electro in a classic style, a slow-building interplay of sci-fi synthesizers wrapped around icy cool call-and-response kicks and handclaps.
B1 Thanks Rob' is BOM02's most straightforward cut — and one of its best. Building momentum slowly across its eight-minute runtime, Thanks Rob' impresses as the larger-than-life bass swell hits. The dancefloor will be rapt - proceed carefully. B2 Hyssop,' feeling like it comes from a similar vintage as Corsaren,' might have been called ambient techno' decades ago, but its upwardly mobile percussion makes it feel as at home in a club as it does in the chill-out room. It's just the thing to close out this broad-spectrum record.
- Chris Zaldua

the next strike from the pure pure music label !!! a fantastic 4 track ep with minimal techno pieces from steve haze, connexx, wasteman and the thomsen !!!

Last we heard of Australian three-piece PVT, they were exploring the outer reaches of electronic rock with their 2010 album Church With No Magic. The Australian trio have made a distinguished career out of making genrebending guitar music, carving themselves a reputation as sonic innovators, and in 2008 becoming the first band from their homeland to sign to iconic UK label Warp. All of which makes their new album Homosapien — their fourth studio album and Felte debut — a startling listening.

"Vertigo" is a standout track from said album. The initial synth line appears in slow-mo and is then smoothed out with a bassline which pulls you in from the beginning and never lets go. Techno producer Luke Abbott takes a hold of this synth sound and takes these ideas and stretches them out with great patience over several minutes without it ever losing its momentum or focus. Beat
constructionist Lukid creates a tumbling beat and pitches up the vocals while Hype Williams re-imagine the track entirely, casting it as the backdrop to a new set of vocals and movie sample snippets. Van Vizintin creates a moody, electronic recreation of the original.

Advanced deep driving techno from Amsterdam! JP Enfant's LET Recordings continues to slowly but surely build a fine reputation, and in fact his last EP on the label featured a track, 'Sirens', which got used to great effect by Daniel Avery on his acclaimed DJ Kicks mix. Now a fourth interesting EP on LET Recordings comes from Shoal, who makes his first out on vinyl after a digital release on Planet Rhythm in October. Utrecht based Shoal aims to balance his techno sounds somewhere between rhythmic hypnosis and detailed soundscaping. He urges listeners to twitch out of their comfort zone and to really engage with his music. That is made all the more easy given that it is such inventive stuff. A powerful EP from this emerging new artist.

Big deep driving dark techno tunes by UVB on his own Body Theory imprint. A mature follow up on his critically acclaimed Second Life Ep on Mord Records in 2015 that took the world by storm. (Vinyl Only!)

Inaugurating 2016 with Lee Holman's debut 'One Man Army' on Raw Waxes, the Italian imprint welcomes the new year with a series of remixes of the Irish producer's release of last May, which feature four benchmarks of contemporary techno: Cassegrain, Distant Echoes, Haiku and Kimyon. The record is out on 12' vinyl format. It comes on black vinyl with an additional hand numbered paper insert realized by German illustrator Benedikt Rugar, who also designed the illustrations of Lee Holman's 'One Man Army'; the drawing is a continuation of that release' visual abstract porn concept.

The Smugglers Inn is an independent radio show/podcast which is produced and presented by Daniel Berman aka Red Rack'em/Hot Coins every second Wednesday at . The show has become a unique testing ground for new artists and productions and many of todays highly rated 'new school' producers benefited from early support on the show.

With a network of talent to draw from, it seemed a logical step to start a record label and this second release contains 4 tracks which have been specially selected by Red Rack'em to represent what he feels is the cream of todays new talent.

Legendary techno rebel Alex Cortex joins TRUST for an EP that wears his nonconformist creed proudly on its sleeve. 'We Run Your Life' takes center stage here, a massive electro banger and electronic warfare anthem for a dystopian future, its programmatic vocals striking a fitting resemblance to UR's most political output. Bouncy beat experiment 'Foam Rubber Landscaping' and dizzily spiralling 'Memory Overload' complete this triptych of techno rebellion. First release in TRUST's new 'Covert Systems' series, limited quantity.

Continuing a sublime run of form for the label, the fourth outing on the Lopasura imprint, is yet another classy trio of heady, analogue machine laden masterpieces. Opening up with Out of the Fog', the familiar acidic arpeggio and crisp hits we've grown to love from Benedikt Frey, dance unwittingly along before being opened up by long, cinematic pads drenching the track with an emotion and grandeur so synonymous with his music.
Complimenting the A side, the looming intent 'Wolves' adopts from the off evolves quickly into a driving, hypnotic and beautifully crafted piece that's a true heads down, eyes-shut techno battle weapon.
Rounding off the EP on the B side is the exceptional 'Lights'. An unsettling, caliginous whir of industrial drones balances the tribal, percussive elements almost depicting a lost ship crashing over the swells of the ocean as it clings on to futile hope of finding the lighthouse. It meanders and threatens before an incredible synth hook ebbs in and takes over momentarily, before calmly simmering as the storm passes. Never before has Love Pain Sunshine and Rain been more perfectly encompassed.

After providing a rugged track for the RSN002 compilation earlier this year, Divided returns to the Resin label and expands on the delicately textured sounds he has become known for, this time with a full four tracker of diamond edged cuts.

This new release, entitled 'Moment (Historical)', blends together elements of UK hardcore and breakbeat into the techno continuum to create a fully fledged and diverse EP that showcases Divided's own unique interpretation of dance music. Opener 'Eigen' kicks things off with sheer brute force, building and swelling until breaking point, whilst 'Eventide' breaks from the 4/4 structure to create a club-track that balances echoing percussion between the cracks of broken beats. On the flip side, 'Dawn' draws upon aspects of dub techno to create a trance inducing rhythm whilst harrowing bells chime the listener into a lull. 'First Light' closes off the EP with a track that subtly builds to a frenzy that is cut through with perfectly precise percussion.

The return of the highly influential and classic tracks by Thomas P. Heckmann's infamous
Drax project, that brought you such huge anthems like Amphetamine, Phosphene, Section 2 and Parnophelia,
which are collected on this one 2-coloured Vinyl 12inch for the first time !
The two predecessors to Amphetamine were Section 2 on the first ever Techno 7inch in 1993, followed some time
later by the Carl Cox beloved anthem Phosphene on the night glowing 10" Drax Three.
This finally led to one of the most influential and famous Techno tracks named Amphetamine, which is presented here
in a completely different and unreleased version (for the original please check AFUltd.31).
The more mellow and beautiful vibe of Parnophelia rounds up a true collectors Vinyl package !

The Essentials of Techno! It's been twelve years since the first and last Mike Parker album called 'Dispatches". 12 years later, Prologue is very excited to host the second album from Mike and this time it's all about techno performed as a kind of ritual. Let us open the secrets of Mike Parker's 'Lustrations". The title has multiple meanings and stands also for clarity. Clarity is in general the attitude of Mike's tracks. He has the massive aptitude to bring techno back to the essentials. Mike's music has clarity in sound structures, bass lines, drums and arrangements. Everything is lead by puristic sound engineering and exactly this kind of unique and authentic Techno can be discovered on 'Lustrations". 12 hypnotic driven tracks designed to be timeless, produced to be played in techno temples in order to set the audience in hypnotism and to clear the mind.

One half of Scottish duo Clouds, Perth Drug Legend tear off a solo EP of rugged, apocalyptic bloke-techno. Stunners, all of them. Freak genius at work.
What more can be said about Clouds, young prodigies who have put out as much innovative techno in the past few years than anyone. The story takes a twist with a wealth of material being released by PDL, hot off a remix of Tiga's Bugatti and releases on Resin and Westend Communications. The sound is reminiscent of Ghost Systems Rave, but there's the feeling that things have gotten even more refined, something that smacks of a real subcultural movement.

Opener Balquhidder Ruins is a stomping gate-crasher, the tempo pulled back just enough to feel the grit of industrial funk, everything restrained to it's bare essentials. Monzievaird swings heavily around a few twinkling bleeps, sparse, chunky kicks that thunder through the greased hats. Pushing things even more into the dark corners with overdriven, haunting resonance is Clackmannanshire Crusaderz, which sounds like the soundtrack to being blacked out on the ground in a Berghain tunnel. Thisistullohnottibetpal adds a mystical, multi culti dimension with some mountain flute inexplicably soaring through the air before a bell breakdown zens things into a forceful yet tranquil climax.

If that madness weren't enough, there's a digital bonus track which is an absolute bomb if you're into lower tempos and hip hop inflected bangers.

Stunners, all of them. Freak genius at work.

This music sounds mysterious and moody. Well constructed works of smudgy acid and intermittent distortion make these tracks equally as ready for a dance floor as they are a spliff. We defaced the labels to further cloak the craftsman.

Already featuring on two earlier PRRUKBLK samplers and on the digital imprint, it was just a matter of time for his 12" solo-debut to come; Von Grall presents his "No Contact EP" on the Planet Rhythm Black imprint. The Paris-based producer has been pushing forward his characteristic deep & atmospheric sound over the past two years and has proven to be one of the strong upcoming forces of the label. Next to the great Claudio PRC remix on the A-side, the release features three original tracks ranging from the dancefloor-driven 'Quadratic' to the trippy 'No Contact' and even deeper into dark atmospheric sounds on 'Molecular Collison' - making this EP another strong addition to the PRRUKBLK catalog!

Allied Forces From the passion for techno grown up during years,overdraw want to exagerate,proposing hard,dark and acid sounds,coming back to past without no forgetting present and future.

Im Zuge des "Versus" Projekts mit klassisch-orchestralen Neuinterpretationen von Carl Craig und Francesco Tristano Repertoire, erscheint vorab eine streng limitierte 12" auf blauem Vinyl mit Craigs Klassiker "Sandstorms" aus der "Just Another Day EP" (2004) in der neuen orchestralen "Versus version" plus dem bislang unveröffentlichten, ursprünglichen "VCO Update mix". Traditionelle Klassik-Orchestrierung trifft elektronischen Underground-Sound.

Very limited vinyl pressing

Billy Nasty's Electrix Records launches its 2016 schedule by welcoming back the always impressive, Carl Finlow.

Carl is one of dance music's leading lights and a multi-talented producer across a range of genres, with releases stretching back to the early 90s. Well known for the 2020 Vision label he launched with Ralph Lawson, his solo work however has often taken an Electro route with releases under various guises like Random Factor, Black Labs, Voice Stealer, Silicon Scally and Scarletron (with Daz Quayle) on labels including Warp, Fuel, Playhouse, Paper, Trope, Sony, Klang, Arista, Soma, SCSI, Pagan, Minifunk, Seventh Sign and Satamile.

It's been almost 3 years since Carl appeared on Electrix. His 'Boot Loop EP' became the label's second release after its re-launch in 2013. But it's definitely been worth the wait. His 'Electricology 4 EP' once again shows why he's a master of the genre.

From the tough and funked-up 'Lateral Thoughts', speckled and melodic 'Hyperloop', squelching, bassy 'Suspect Reanimation' and sinister, beat-driven 'Latext', right through to the playful 'Atomic Level' (a bonus track for the digital release), the EP shines, with a stamp of high quality running though its core.
