Catalogue Number PP018 has been work in progress for quite a while now. Wind-s originally appeared in a slightly different version as part of the soundtrack to one of Rohtheaters` plays. The track features all the typical Obalski elements we have grown so fond of in the past. Dreamy pads and odd melodies create the sort of ambient that carries you away somewhere else (Bravo!). We decided that it would be interesting to hear other artists take their turn on the material. The Japanese duo Mascaras (Chida & 5ive) transformed Wind-s in an atmospheric drum workout. Fantastically incorporating the breezy synth elements of the original into their flow of percussion. Press play - Lift off. The B-Side gives space to Nick Höppner's epic Techno groove. Ecstasy - evolving - progress.

the man with more machines than you drops 3 tracks of syncopated science on Skudge... TIP!

Various artists exploring more obscure territories of musical universe. Ambient soundscapes, subtle
grooves, hypnotic tunnels, mesmerizing melodies, tectonic rattle, are just some things to expect on
this submersive journey. Out on limited edition 180g clear vinyl.

The latest release from Breach's own Naked Naked imprint is brought to us by Leeds based Viers aka Jordon Saxton. Part of the new wave of UK house and techno producers, the forward thinking producer already has five releases under his belt, including a 12inch on Seb Wildblood and Ape's 'Church' imprint. For his third outing on Naked Naked, Jordon once again assumes his Viers alias for another dose of dancefloor-ready techno. On the A side 'Dissipate' makes use of sparse elements to construct a hypnotic, minimal groove. Skippy hi-hats dance around a solid but simple bassline, creating a bouncy, satisfying energy. On the flip SMS's dubby stabs combine with rattling percussion to establish a driving, relentless rhythm. Full of intensity, this one is definitely built for peak hour dancefloor damage. Due to drop on 16th October, Viers 'Dissipate/SMS' release is another great edition to Ben Westbeech's Naked Naked Catalogue.

Pleasure Zone proudly welcomes Anto Zap to the Family!
The Ethereal Sound - founder is also well known for his great productions on Underground Quality,
Uzuri, Apollo, Millions of Moments - to name a few. We're very happy to have him on board!

DJ SCSI is back, again. With a special reissue of his infamous track Communication + 4 other wild obscure electro tunes from his DATs. Detroit 4 Real.

The second release of Inkblots involves three great artists deeply active into the international techno scene: the japanese Go Hiyama and the Berlin based duo I/Y.
On Side A, Go Hiyama's first track 'Recur' delivers sinister atmospheres matched with a tough kick and industrial bleepy elements. Slow and paranoic drones get in and out contributing to enlarge the sound perception. The second track 'Prop' introduces elegant hi-hats and strident synths. A captivating kick perfectly embraces the shrill synths waving together with the sharp drum, what remains of the first side is just tense ambients, forewarning the journey is not over. Side B smells like a dark club firing up, indeed I/Y's aim is not different at all. 'Tethys
0000.001' debuts with a thin bassline and distorted grave surroundings. The track evolves with clean slap hats sound in an empty echo chamber. Deep timbres rise and fall, turning the entire route gently aggressive. The second track is an IDM experiment which keeps a trippy approach and the clarity of claps and hi-hats.
Solid as the first one, 'Tethys 0000.003' sets itself as an hypnotic but pleasant moment where suspicious fragments quickly appear and disappear: a sparkled trip to be enjoyed anytime but not by anyone. 

Debut record from Group Zero (Cathal Cully - Girls Names). Using synthesizers and drum machines, 'Structures And Lights' glistens with subtle Euro sophistication - pairing cold-wave optimism alongside freaky and brutal tracks for the more open-minded DJs and dancefloors. Written, recorded and mixed intermittently over four years, the narrative of 'Structures And Light' is bound by a deepening connection with electronics, instrumentation, and the studio. With no imminent touring schedule or release deadlines, Cully built a modest home setup and began producing on his own again - It was as an exercise in my own development and it was fun. It brought the naivety and spontaneity back to making music'. Initially, it was for his personal consumption alone - selfishly indulgent. In fact, this first collection of Group Zero music - along with a library of other ideas and sketches - was thought to be eternally lost and all but forgotten until a chance conversation with Touch Sensitive led to the tracks being salvaged and subsequently restored. The genesis of this newly discovered musical freedom coincided with a viewing of 'Pyramid of Light' by Heinz Mack from the post-war Dusseldorf based Group Zero art movement which resonated deeply. It stirred up questions and emotions which I could not get from a book or a screen. It was the direct relation between me, the light and the physical object hanging on the wall. New moments of beauty locked in the memory. I was in awe.' Cully was also taking influence from a range of contemporary electronic producers - on labels such as LIES, Diagonal, Optimo Music, Blackest Ever Black, and PAN: These records felt as much in keeping with post-punk traditions and my own DIY background whilst tapping into the primitive ideas of masters such as Cluster, Suicide, Malaria! and the proto-techno of pre-club music.' Just as a structure obscures or reflects light furnishing us with new ways of seeing, the propulsive rhythms in 'Structures And Light' reveal subtle differences on each repeated cycle. This is music to go away from and travel to. Here's a record from a Belfast bedroom that sounds nothing like the city, past or present. It's made with synths and drum machines, and it glistens with subtle Euro sophistication. Day breaks: dig those fast linear movements and rhythms ('The Fantasist'). Then fall for the unexpected guitar line in 'Pursuit', a gentle kind of cold wave optimism. Night heals: there's 'pummelling repetition' here too, for the club freaks or shut-ins. Slow, industrial shocks that give way to 'Pyramid of Light's stark new-age burst. It's a record for the present - full of gorgeous themes that dream unwired.'

'Theatre Records Essential Vol.1' is the first vinyl of Theatre Records. For this first edition we are very pleased to give you 2 impressive original mixes from Matteo Gamba and EarthLife and 2 amazing remixes form Thomas Muller and Nick Galemore. Master engineer: Rob Small

The New Year marks a time of change, fresh starts and new beginnings and 2017 will see the launch of a brand new vinyl series from 20/20 Vision.
Up first on the series we welcome Portuguese native Marco Rodriguez, aka Photonz. He first caught our ear with his early output on cult London imprint Dissident, and then went on to release with tastemaker labels Crème Organization & Hot Haus.
Negative Cities Pt.1 is filled with the deep, rich & fat analog sounds that Photonz has become renowned for. Whether it's intergalactic acid bangers like 'Astral Acid', the skipping hi-hats and wonky shuffle of 'Death Drive', or the driving main room techno of 'Somewhere I Read', there's enough ammunition here to satisfy any house and techno connoisseur.
Negative Cities Pt.1 is out 13th February on 20/20 Vision.
Limited to 300 copies.

The second output by the Russian project Syberian transmits the dimmed depth within coniferous roots. According to political aggression against the resistance of good will tribe and instead of conformist pollution this sounds are unfolded to attract a classy intelligent energy. Suitable for home sessions or insular movements.

The 10th release of Float Records will be celebrated in style by label owners TWR72. They present you their own new EP called 'X'. Three original groove monsters supported by an intense and profound remix from Endlec.
X1 has a remarkable and outspoken bassline with a slighty 'back in the days'-feel created by the drums. Slowly the organ theme grows and grows until you get used to it. Heavy hitting claps make sure to keep your attention towards the break. And then... X2 has a driving groove as the main subject. Steered by an almost annoying high pitched pad and later some haunting strings. The real science starts when Endlec works his magic. His unique drum programming and distorted yet sophisticated approach of the elements creates the best remix. X3, the fast groover with a slick bassline, a cheeky synth and jacking drums is perhaps a safe approach. But we guarantee this will work on every dancefloor. As a digital bonus there is another brilliant remix by Endlec. Judge it yourself.

Coloured cover, shiny wax!

E The 'E' stands for Enneagram, which is a way to classify which personality type you belong to. In other words, it describes which 'lens you see your reality' and in which stage of your personal development you made this decision.

Now the collection has converged into a whole album as promised, the cover art segments merged into one full colourful Enneagram designed by Aaron Bolte. Enclosed a shiny Lucidflow vinyl with four excellent Klartraum dreams:

Bill Bill ramps up the tension, using the dub theme but increasing the tempo. Hidden deep in the mix is a low constant held string, the very antithesis of the classic disco string.

Drama Queen, it swings and wiggles before developing with a 70's detective mystery edge.

This then leaves Dark Space Night, abandoning the sleazy speakeasy mood for breathless dub techno momentum. This is the bread and butter of Klartraum, merging light and dark simultaneously in one continuous movement.

Bell Birds Dub sets the tone by exquisitely moving through deep dub darkness with only the briefest sun shafts shining through.

The talented Italian producers Pietro Caprioglio aka Autre and Federico Pedron aka Xinner kicking it off with - Nebula . An emotional piece of late night techno music full of analog warmth and heart warming depth. Autre´s - Seiryu is an athmospheric and loopy groove monster for the deeper dancefloors. Dresden´s Kryptic Universe delivers with - 01309 Stairways one of those georgeous and simply perfect analogue sounding dub techno tracks. Incredibly textured piece of work wich could have been already a classic since the golden basic channel / chain reaction years.Owen Jay and Brian James closing it up with - chordless . This is a mind blowing take of chord driven club material.

Doubled with a social network and technology addiction, life tends to be each day more and more mechanical.
Bionic life in a static system' reflect Mattia's feeling about this matter of fact. Human will soon tend to be machined: automatically, resuming their feeling to a simple emoticon. Mattia is giving us his vision of this near future with these 4 tracks, proposing us some atmospheric and melodic pads and robotic electro rhythms added to the finest futuristic acid lines.

Polyop was formed in 2015 by producers Jack Driscoll, Harry Orso and visual artist and programmer Alex Kempton. Since then they have been researching and developing a visual-audio experience that fuses nature and tribal culture with the machine. 'Ceremony' is the first exploration of that aesthetic, with their own take on acid house, they take the subject on a hypnotic journey through an alternate sonic-visual reality.

Kemp mutates 'Ceremony' into something between disco and techno, the kick and bassline thick and pulsing, whilst the percussion syncopates infectiously. The track progresses into a crescendo, which is amplified by the cavernous feel of the mix. This is certain to hypnotise 3am dancefloor-pagans into a state of worship.

New Year = new R Zone. This time the revivalist rave crew, brutal techno lovers and broken beat brothers--whoever they may be--serve up three more tantalising tracks that are designed simply for high dance floor impact. 'Greatest Enemy' is first and lives in a deep space world where jungliest percussion and pummelling drums are offset with swirling pads and warm synths. It's an emotional roller coaster that gets followed up by 'Spike', a manic and prickly speaker blaster with wild melodies and rave stylings all barely continued by punch and off beat kick drums. Last of all, 'Faramore Agent' is in your face with its frazzled bass, skittish percussion and vocal stabs all panning about left and right. One again this is brilliantly all over the place and impossibly visceral music designed to devastate all who hear it.

We have started a new project from a new part of Finish Team Records only on vinyl. For the first release we have made a 4 track E.P. with the main artists of the label: Manu P, Andrea Rubolini, Aumrec & Gabriele Orsini. First track is composed by Manu P, and is named El Torito. Is the perfect track for the summer time, with a latin tech house with a huge bass and melodic voice, perfect for the middle of the night set. The second is a track by Andrea Rubolini (The Crowd), also here a huge bass during all the track and a melodic synth that characterized the track. The third track by Aumrec (Elonove), is more techno, with lot of strange and secret minimal part and a solid and fresh kick. Gabriele Orsini also composed the fourth track (The Suspect), a techno and intense travel trough the dark techno scene. VINYL ONLY!

Back at the beginning of the summer, Dubfire unveiled "Exit," his magical collaboration with Miss Kittin. The powerful and sultry vocal cut immediately garnered anthem status, heralding a perfect balance between the techno stalwarts' precise, funky rhythms and Kittin's unique, robotic vocal delivery. Support was across the full breadth of the DJ spectrum, also featuring in Resident Advisor's Monthly Top 50 charts. 

A special synergy and chemistry was born between the two that demanded to be further explored when new remixes by the French dream team of Brodinski and long-time Kittin collaborator The Hacker materialized. 

The Hacker ensures carnage with his huge pile-driving synth riff, whilst Bromance boss Brodinski goes straight for the jugular with a crushing kick drum and impressive vocal trickery.

Francesco's new vinyl EP called "No System" includes 4 tracks.

Polluted System is a track suitable for the main room, the energy of the kick and the bass leave no respite from start to finish as a joint of metal percussion and synths fit gradually to fill the sound spectrum of this track.

Becomes Human Machine in a few minutes, using acid and industrial sounds, conveys the idea of the change that is happening around us: people are becoming more and more machines, and this is the soundtrack of the mutation.

Unlocked Human, while remaining in acid and mechanical territories, thanks to a groove of more organic toms and hi hat still let the human element glimpse, not yet deleted by the machines, all accompanied by a relentless kick which makes it a perfect tool from the dancefloor .

No System, which give the title to the EP, ends this sequence with dreamy and futuristic atmospheres, the ruling part is still a simple but instantly recognizable acid bass, over breakbeat-oriented rhythmics.

llektrolab has been missing in action for seven years. An electro machine, this Satamile alumni went rogue; ducking under the radar in 2007. Now found he's ready to return to the front line. Four weapons make up Illahertz. Clipped beats break and reform, basslines bubble and bulge as computer funk is lanced by pared steel. Drums race in eerie future wastelands, fizzing static and samples circling before acid rains down. Future and past influences sharpened into dangerous electro blades by a prodigal son.

The rediscovered, originally 2005-released debut EP of Stefan Gubatz a.k.a. SANOMAT, also known as one half of the jackin' production force named Snuff Crew. With his very first release he explores the realms of tongue-in-cheek primetime Club Techno with an Acid twist plus he delivers a truly anthemic tribute to the 80s pop star Belinda Carlisle on B2 which is about to cause massive euphoria whenever played out to a crowd on fire that'll surely feel that heaven is a place on earth. Limited blue vinyl pressing!

On the this latest release from Power Vacuum, a motley selection of inmates gather once more to deliver a new seminar on the mechanics of meltdown. Beyond the zone of fruitless intensity lies ever more exhaustive trailer park visionaries blasting out wreck beats; a sound futuristic yet primitive like a turbo charged shire horse. Peering through the heavily worked over fug, we sift through the transphonic ashes of technos blast furnace to retrieve these molten ingots and sling them into a disenfranchised cassette player.

Born of a love and passion for dance music, Tulipe records blossoms from roots founded in the cosmopolitan cities of Rome and Montreal to announce an exclusive vinyl release. Focused on the fundamental premise of 'positive energy' from established and newcomer artists alike, a quartet of tracks provides a cutting edge snapshot of the current house music landscape as 'Tulipe Ltd Bloom Series Vol.2' finds physical reality.

Opening with a French legend, Damien Almira takes his Timid Boy production moniker on a trip through a deep, tech-fuelled groove that pounds its way along a wondrous path in 'Post Rave Dream'. Filtering out into percussive textures and rich pads, both spin across the stereo spectrum in dizzying glory to mesmeric effect. Neapolitan, DJ Simi continues proceedings on Side A with the chugging, hypnotic monster, 'Advanz T3'. Rapid-fire hats and a dominant kick keep the pace high as percussive claves beat out a melodic refrain to match a analogue riff and pulsating, pitched pad.

Spanish duo Robin Orlando and Nick Hollyster open Side B with the delicious, laid-back 'Humita'. A simple and emotive bass line provides the backdrop for a smooth arpeggio to sit atop creating further layers of sonic ingenuity, while vocal phrasing from Christian Godoy contributes to create a house classic. Chilean, Larry Peters completes the picture with tech house monster that provides an eclectic mix of sampled effects and dissonant melodies on 'Orbit 4.0'. Laconic vocal phrasing provides a carefully placed rhythmic structure, wrapped around the structured beats to create a work of dance floor delight.

Four tracks burst into 'Bloom' as Tulipe continues to flower in bright rich colour.

'Anonymous' is a regular tune in Chris Liebing's sets across the world since summer 2014. The track has been selected by Rebekah on her 'Mind Sets' compilation on CLR. 'Anonymous' is a subtle groove driven techno tune designed for the dancefloor. On the flip side of CLR087 Emerson takes us on a cinematic journey with his very own 'Too Many People Talking (Not Enough Information)". A mesmerizing ambient tune that invites us to get into Emerson's universe. 'Anonymous EP' by Emerson is surely one CLR release not to be missed. It's big! (Chris Liebing's words)

After Ellen Allien's album "Dust" kicked up a lot of the same in 2010, it was only a matter of time until the right remixers for the album were found. No less than the crème de la crème of today's house scene was allowed to have their way with these tracks.

EoOo AKA Eomac is one half of Dublin based duo Lakker, but is also a DJ and producer in his own right.

Acid 1993 is back. Two raw, untamed, spiralling and fast paced Acid tunes are to be found on this rediscovered classic vinyl piece produced by Jammin Unit & Walker. Special camouflage green 12' with 8' cut grooves for all lovers of real underground warehouse music!

Debut release for Scuderia, Luciano Lamanna Moon Child' is a dancefloor killer blending
hyopnotic synth with buried harmonic echoes over a violent kick and a powerful bassline.
Another heavyweight takes care about the remix: Unit Moebius Anonymous. He reworks the
track adding an acid noise trace that leads into extraterrestrial war march recalling cynical
atonal Techno form.

A rosy light, shows her profile Bleeds of tears and the bruises over her face. The shouts, have deafened of herself, the ears Short is the breath, given by the humiliation The curled up limbs, to do not feel pain. And those tired eyes, To see of her nightmares, the faces They fade, as dissolving the dim light is, of another, damp, sun. -UTOPIAN SOUL -

Downfall Theory embarks on a new chapter as it hosts a full release from a producer other than its owner, Sanys. Myztical isn't exactly a newcomer though, and the Ukrainian producer has already two releases to his credit on Nicz Records. Given the title of his debut on Downfall Theory, it is no surprise to learn that Myztical is using it as a means to question reality. Inspired by the science fiction writer Philip K Dick and decades of electronic music, he certainly succeeds on venturing into uncharted territories on the title track. Muffled, repetitive vocal samples, an atonal rhythm and relentless, slightly distorted kicks show that quite often, simplicity is the most potent ingredient. On Faith of our Fathers', Myztical disappears farther down the wormhole. Splintered rhythms, deranged howls and a deranged filter push his vision for broken beat techno into the abyss. Substance D' sees the Ukrainian hotshot return to a more linear approach, pounding kicks underpin ghostly shrieks before a breakdown sees the track descend into grimy, Woody McBride-style acid. The accompanying vocal sample, the embodiment of a bad trip, only serves to accentuate the track's darkly hallucinogenic qualities. Finally, there's Shifted Realities' - it revisits the jagged filters of Faith of our Fathers', but does so against the backdrop of a pounding industrial kick and a grungy, low-slung rhythm.

Welcome to the strange and wonderful world of Myztical - and enjoy the trip!

We are truly honoured to welcome to the Landed imprint one of the originators and true players of the Detroit House music scene,

What more can I say, this is Deep, late-night House music at its finest.B1: Travlin - Original Mix: Picking up the pace from A1, Norm shows us just why he earned his moniker, 'Silent Warrior Of The Deep'.

Ravechild seems to grow four distinct pieces out of same roots, just to forge a whole new construct by uniting the individual cuts. Tunes made for a variety of moods and situations.

Banging Acid Techno with a cheeky edge.

The Noisemaker is back on Raw Waxes with his typical sinister, analogue-only electronic and techno music excursions, after the first series of EPs remixed by Inigo Kennedy, Mike Parker, Blind Observatory and more. All productions are meant and released to offer a 'living the moment' musical concept. The artwork has been realized by Benedikt Rugar, German illustrator continuing the abstract porn visual imaginary since the label fifth release.

- Low Service' is the rediscovered, 2005-released debut album of Fabian Stall a.k.a. Zero Cash, also and possibly better known under his Electro Atomu moniker amongst all followers of Techno and Acid.

Put on the circuit via the legendary former HardAcid- / Hardcore-focused label MonoTone the nine untitled tracks on this longplay piece unveil a very unique musical vision that incorporates influences from Unformatted Breaks, Twisted Electronica and Broken Techno, Electro, Slow Motion Breakcore and a dark'ish Psychobilly which can be filed under the flag of Electrobilly if one wants to open a new musical drawer here.

This is something special for sure.

"Beyond the Clouds" was recorded from a live session near the heart of Detroit using hand crafted modular synthesizers, analog devices and custom made effects units. Remastered by Ron Murphy @ NSC Mastering, Detroit, USA shortly before he passed away, his memory will live in our hearts forever. In this Live version of cv313's classic, the modular recordings were separated, dissected in the mix and dubbed out with a litany of analog effects. During this performance there was a mystical element in the air, strobe lights, vaporous gas and electric dreams. A connection felt with the dancers, a groove beyond a groove, it is that magical essence of Japan. This was a night to remember, recorded live in Tokyo with love. During the closing moments, the ghostly ambiance faded, the smoke cleared and beyond the sequence was born. Remastered by Bazza @ Alchemy Studio, London. UK.

JoeFarr presents Sense Of Purpose, the massively anticipated first full-length album from the pioneering Bristol producer.
March sees Joe make a swift return to Bloc with his second consecutive release on the rapidly growing imprint following on from his debut 'RPM' EP released at the end of January this year.
Joe is widely regarded as a skilled craftsman of electronic music, having flourished quickly since he first emerged in 2011 to become an identifiable name within the underground scene.
In 5 short years he's built an impressive body of work, including recent productions onLeisure System, Turbo and Power Vacuum, which have secured him a reputation as one of our most forward thinking, innovative and inspiring musical talents.
'Sense Of Purpose' delves deep into Farr's creative core, exploring the many facets of his musical personality. Beautifully crafted synth workouts sit shoulder to shoulder with early Warp-style ambient works and a handful of the raucous techno bombs that he's built his reputation on. Whichever sound he turns his hand to, the results are nothing less than extraordinary.

Limited pressing on blue marbled vinyl including remixes by Subjected, UVB, Neil Landstrumm and the Horrorist.

After his great record on Innervisions, the guys from Exit Strategy convinced Nuiton to get this killer release for their label.

Like Baudelaire once said: - You need three things to create art: currentness, history and last but not least coincidence'

"Despite we are all living an overwhelming moment for the contemporary age, reality keeps being a
never-ending source of interests and not-yet-explored boundaries.
The record that you're currently holding has mainly evolved from inner-explorations. Brainy and
ecstatic journeys emerged through a single conscious being in the from of a sonic statement, based
upon echoing thoughts, empirical experiences and synthesized journeys recorded at some point of the
space-time curvature.
The very first of many to come from HARA."
Barcelona 2016
The first release of Hara Records is signed by Spear.
The EP presents 4 tracks, with different shapes and moods, from the ambient of ''She's coming from a
dark and warm place'' to the mental groove of ''Gravity Waves''.

Aiken is back on his homebase. The third release on his selfcurated techno imprint counts four headnodding floor jams. Hypnotic melodies searching their way through rumbling percussion patterns. This is trademark deep techno from Madrid.

"Auger" is coming out next November with 3 tracks of pure evil techno plus a powerful remix by D. Carbone.

Opening track 'Turn On The Fun' features slithering synth lines, a nimble and inviting baseline and plenty of warming emotion. It's spacious and airy and the intriguing melodic patterns really keep your head as busy as your heel whilst the loopy beats roll below. 'Funcy' is a little more rubbery and direct, with clacking perc, freewheeling synth lines and bubbly drums that never stay locked in one place, roaming around and taking you with them. Lastly, 'Funatics' has a sombre minor chord bassline that rides up and down the scale as crisp, clean hi hats dance alongside. Bouncy and jostling, energetic and restless, it's a track that perfectly rounds out this debut EP and shows that Barem and Cabrera are true to their world and really do know how to produce some fun techno funk.

Expect to be confronted with a bit of a surprise here when you listen to the a-side of the brand-new Max Cooper on Traum.Max has never plaid around with arpeggiators in this way jet and also the "togetherness" of the soundscape is not very typical for him. But let us say this much, this track is a big track in his live sets, very much a crowd pleaser and when the bassline kicks in at 4 minutes it gets all cosmic and a massive collective feel is installed.The track is a repetitive one and the rushing of the hi-energy powered sequencer gives a nice contrast to the later added strings which add a superb  melancholic Detroit feel.We expect this track to do nice in clubs.

XCPT Music rises from underground electronic music event series taking place in the suburbs of Matera, South Italy, as mature development deeply rooted and inspired by the UK 90's scene. It kicks off with label's manager and co-owner Nothus first release, 'Fragments Of Loneliness', a 12" limited press coming out in the end of September. His first release illustrates a mixture of breaking beats, jungle vibes and Detroit soul textures, coexisting in balance in all the tracks with a special broken beat reshape made by Italian artist Andrea (Ilian Tape), one of the most interesting newcomer of European techno scene. Label artworks represent specific corners of the beautiful Matera city, recently rewarded as European Capital of Culture 2019, and cradle of the label sound.

Here comes the second release of this label that left everyone impressed with the first vinyl....

S-Audio is the result of a long standing collaboration between the two Dj's and producers from Barcelona Sbri and Audio-In.They currently share most of their time by co-working in their studio, moved by the common passion for House, Acid Techno, Electro, Breaks and Experimental. Now delivering their first release on their own label S-Audio Recordings

Techno based in Berlin

YZ - not to be confused with the rapper - sings Kaifa, a poem by Ahmad bin Said al-Busaidi (circa 1710-1783). YZ's fine, melismatic style is underscored by hypnotic, arpeggiated synthesizer riffs, while the darker B side blends more sufi poetry with a stripped down hard beat. Additional arrangement, recorded and mixed by, d.trep, at Kilohertz Club, Brussels.

Housed in a picture sleeve designed by the artist, with an insert containing more artwork, lyrics and English translation. Mastered by Mike Grinser at D&M

2 supreme Chicago heavyweights go head to head across 2 slabs of wax... step up Boo Williams & Glen Underground!

These 2 producers should need no introduction, they've both help shape the second wave of Chicago's House sound with their own inimitable styles over a slew of classic releases since the mid 90's. This double-pack is pure fire & was originally released in 1995 on miniscule Trax offshoot MAAD, fans of that bouncing, stripped back, funked out House music look no further, it's all right here!

Across the 2 discs you'll find back to back bangers, a serious addition to any DJ's bag & throwing a whole lot of styles into the blender Boo & Glen don't let up! This is the first time this record has ever been re-pressed since it's original release surprisingly with prices on-line often being at the higher end of the scale for used copies. All of the tracks featured still pack a serious punch & will definitely rock any party! This is straight up, no nonsense HOUSE for the heads!

Fully re-mastered, re-pressed & re-released for 2015 in it's original format with the permission & participation of all rights holders with all original MAAD label artwork intact.

Meda Fury welcome back Oakland resident Damon Bell for another accomplished EP of rugged cosmic grooves and tribal pressure.Bell is riding a rich wave of form with a killer recent release on Don't Be Afraid, and even more fire on the Burek label, not forgetting his impressive debut last year on his regular home, the mighty Deepblak - he's a proven master at fusing Afro-centric rhythms, rich keys and off-kilter pads into an urgent and contemporary form of house music that deftly eschews cliche.Akebu-Lan' commences the ritual with a gospel vocal loop over pumping 808 kicks and tranced out swollen pads, giving way to ecstatic fender rhodes chords and climatic piano, reminiscent of Robert Hood - is this Bell's fastest bpm track yet
Loose/live jazz keys riff throughout 'Ether' creating a warm rich miasma of sound against the distressed percussive gyrations and sinister drones.Hypnotic synth riffs tumble over the powerful drum-track in 'Altered Visions' creating a deliciously hypnotic chug.Drawing the EP to a close, Deepblak and PAN cohort African Sciences joins Bell for the sizzling 'Kinetic Energy'; a sleazy, skronking cut of slurred moog bass and atonally pitched toms wrestling with thumping kicks and whispered vox pummel the listener.

On this ep Dany Rodriguez wrote another story of his work with this Hypnotica Hunter EP Including a remix of the legendary James Ruskin. Listen and have a nice trip.

2x12"

Black magic emo-electro by the dark lord. Follow the path of the left-hand. Limited to 200 copies, silk-screened sleeve.

We are proud to present our next vinyl. The release 004 will open the doors to the limited series called lab series.
The first lab series is made up of four tracks, two produced by Parassela on side A (the duo of Blawan and the Analogue cops), and the B-side from Limo and Buck.

"Ode To Eskapism" is dedicated to all of those that use techno as a way in to escapism. To those that use techno as a mental diversion from the perceived unpleasant, boring, arduous, scary, or banal aspects of daily life. Those that cannot subsist on the scanty satisfaction they can extort from reality alone. Those that feel the need to dissociate from reality in order to experience it. To all of those that emerges recreated, stronger and full of life after a weekend escape into techno.
The label Bond is the brainchild of Swedish techno DJ and producer Petter B. The concept of the label is "music by DJs for DJs". The label focuses on releasing tracks that enable the DJ, rather than the producer, to be creative. It is based on that special bond which is created every time a DJ combines tracks, loops and sounds live into something new and unique.

Coming from the steaming underground scene of Belgrade, brushed with dark abstract, yet romantic ideas of space and ambience, Tapan presernt their first EP with the ever growing family of Malka Tuti. Tapans dark atmospheric industrial sound, infused with balkan or even middle-eastern percussions sits perfect with the Malka Tuti soundscape. Following their acclaimed releases on Crimes of The Future and WT Recordings, Tapan present us with Tarantella and Poison High, two slow chugging and very atmospheric, somewhat melancholic tunes for the late hours. On the remix Black Merlin delivers a great pushing forward slow dub-trance tun, driven by a massive bassline...

Through ten-year-experience, CRIME RECORDS is now coming to life in the Salento area (Italy). Mainly based on electronic and techno music, CRIME RECORDS is an indipendent, eco-friendly and strictly old-school label.

The project comes from an idea of Ilaria Mazzotta and Matteo Ria and it aims to spread music only and exclusively throught vinyls and by two realeases every year.

The first release collects the music by the DJs animating the Crime Festival (Salento's summer electronic meeting) and connects Apulia's sound to the best International panorama.

NAIDA Lab will be the promoter of the label, pioneer in event organisation, refined and dedicated in good quality music spreading and careful to the dares of contemporaneity.

The Cryovac is a machine that is brought to life by a network of players with their own unique vision and technique. Cryovac houses a noble breed that does not bend to popular dogma. This machine functions as a platform for true independent voices to be heard from all sectors of the detroit underground. Cyovac believes in artists that believe in their mission.

If a machine is the sum of its parts, then this cryovac is made solid from a cast of devoted characters. Jason Garcia brings his player lifestyle to the forefront with 'what the deal', a summer jam that is a palatial sure shot dance floor banger. Kero is an old master, pulling his sounds from self made mods and tricky analog set ups to tell a story of glitching techno formations coming in and out of focus. Joe Covio is a restless and relentless sound tinkerer that delivers a poppy style of 4/4 that moves logically through nervous equations. Each endeavor works together to build a complete statement of the Cryovac form.

Classic EP from Virgo from 1986. 4 classic tracks including 'R U Hot Enough'.

Wabi Sabi is a jam-based collaboration between NYC underground notables, including Matt Gardner (Terekke), Rezzie (Weird Magic), Jan Woo and Patricia. Their first release, and the kickoff for the much anticipated Purple Trax label, Pt.01 showcases their dada-esque hypnagogic techno jam-band vibe, as well as some of the hardest-hitting Terekke material yet. Four rough-and-ready, deep and heavy cuts to trip out any head/space.

The second release from Moxie's On Loop imprint sees a three track EP from fellow Londoner & NTS mainstay, Fold. From the no nonsense techno roller 'Bend Sinister' through to the groove laced title track 'Mill's Theme', this release has got you covered. Currently on heavy rotation from the likes of Joy Orbison, George Fitzgerald, Leon Vynehall, and Midland.

Third EP from the Vigenere label.

Unknown Archetype AKA Roxy Tripp & Oliver Kucera debut their visceral experimental techno for R&S on this three track EP

Unknown Archetype is a collaborative project between Roxy Tripp, a British conceptual artist & music producer, and Oliver Kucera a Czech born Producer & Live performer, residing in the Netherlands. With an extensive background of solo projects in the underground scene, the duo began their collaboration together as Unknown Archetype in 2015.

The TRIPP EP is an abrasive, visceral EP of electronic body music underpinned by themes of Jungian psychology, symbolism and mythology. The industrial tech funk of lead track Voyeurism kicks things off - skittering breakbeats, squalling filters and blistering snares pile-driving the listener into ecstatic submission, while 'Tripp' see the duo employing sizzling bursts of white noise and caustic percussion over a jagged rhythm box figure. Matters are pared right back for the rigid austerity of closer 'The Serpent' - the dubbed out lead stab quivers over a strobing 909 drum groove and scything cymbals.

Effortlessly balancing deep late night sounds with a unique character and intricate headphone centric programming, the TRIPP EP is a fitting and welcome addition to R&S's storied catalogue.

The second part of Alan Backdrops "Excursion" series comes with two extended and very personal tracks. With this two musical journeys inspired by early 90's Robert Hood
Techno, crispy Rhythm & Sound elements and refreshed with inspiring ambient sounds and broken Dubstep beats he goes ahead building up his own musical signature.

JR Seaton aka Call Super, Sohn eines aus New Orleans stammenden Jazz-Klarinettisten, wuchs in London auf. Nachdem er als Kind zunächst Spanische Gitarre und Klavier spielen lernte, war es die Club-Szene der britischen Hauptstadt, die den aufwachsenden Teenager in ihren Bann zog. Mittlerweile hat sich Call Super dank erstklassiger Releases auf Houndstooth, Dekmantel, Throne Of Blood oder The Trilogy Tapes (als Ondo Fudd und Elmo Crumb) und einzigartiger DJ-Sets z.B. im Berghain/Panorama Bar, Boiler Room, Fabric oder beim renommierten Dekmantel-Festival einen vorzüglichen Namen gemacht. Für "Fabric 92", die neue Ausgabe der berühmten DJ-Mix-Serie, widmet sich Call Super nach eigenem Bekunden den Klängen der frühen Morgenstunden im Club, wenn geradlinige Härte und Dynamik der Peaktime einem verspielten und sanft wogenden Ansatz weichen.

87 Records is back with another quality release by Fusal.
On top it comes around with an outstanding remix by the mighty Archie Hamilton.

Among Downwards' most recent wave of new flesh, Grebenstein emerged as one of the legendary label's most sullen mutants on a crushing, eponymous debut in 2014, and now
again with this highly stylish, unrepentant brace of drum 'n synth noise pressure. This one's a total killer, especially recommended if you're into HTRK, Raime or Fever Ray.
Depending what angle you survey it from, Strong Proud Stupid and Superior is either industrial techno trained by drill kids, neofolk drone, or the sound of machines coming to kill their human oppressors.
On the A-side Grebenstein harnesses the hollow-eyed, starkly detached vocals of Seefried in a signature, slow demonstration of detached Cold Wave, with a narrative arc that
encompasses intimate confession and paranoid internal impulses sounding something like like a petrified version of HTRK via Andrea Parker's classic Ballbreaker material.
The other two parts feature Joscha Bauer and are texturally more rich and aestehtically subdued, starting with the swelling drone discord of Grauer03, sounding like Cut Hands slowed down by 1000%, before inverting the aesthetic to a far more impending sort of stygian doom with the squashed bombast trudge of Grauer04.

Mindcut presents the next solo ep by no less than Kamikaze Space Programme who had his first label debut with Rattle Ralf' on catalog number 4. KSP also released on the famous Luke Slater Label Mote Evolver and now he returns with a full 4 tracker on Mindcut. His style is well known for rhythmic beats and organic percussions sounds which are reflected in 3 true techno tracks and a stomping Myler remix.

Three more classic Kenny Larkin's re-issued on 12". TIP!
Rush Hour is proud to present this co-op with Kenny Larkin/Art Of Dance to release the best of his catalogue on remastered 12"s. He's recorded many classic tracks on many different labels under many monikers. We have picked, what we think, are the best tracks he made. Released on series of 6 separate 12"s.

Merchants is an italian electronic duo composed of Alberto Ricca / Bienoise (Red Bull Music Academy Tokyo alumnus) and Davide Amici. Their music is sample-based, combining dark beats with found sounds in a musical exploration of imaginary countries. Global debris and techno pulses meet in search of possible musics.

Restive Plaggona is Dimitris Doukas, Corfu-based young techno/industrial producer. Active in just one year, he has been putting out quite a few tapes on Haraam's Moral Defeat, French Collapsing Market and his own Several Minor Promises.

With Committed To The Truth Plaggona continues his path with seven new tracks of dark cinematic techno hybrids, ranging from ambient melancholia to pulsating Industrial soundscapes. This is the sound of the dark side of the Mediterranean.

SOME OF THE BIGGEST NAMES IN TECHNO JOIN TOGETHER FOR 1 EP. LIMITED COLOURED VINYL

Vinyl Only / Limited Edition

Next up on Swiss imprint, Caduceus Records, is a release veiled in secrecy and hidden behind a mask of obscurity. Whilst the
producer behind the tracks remains in the backseat, the music sits at the forefront, with only itself to speak for.First track, 'Cracken,' is about as skewed and wonky as you can get without the vinyl flopping off the turntable and is sure to be a test for the less adventurous DJs out there. Not surprisingly, it has already received support on Ben UFO's Hessle show on Rinse FM (played by Welfare). A syncopated rhythm, off-kilter arrangement and stumbling samples throw this track off its hinges, with only the
pummelling kicks and an expansive, space-like padded-tapestry to glue it all together. Racket' plunges for a deeper, submerged dub-techno atmosphere that shimmers under its many layers as it grinds back and forth. Similarly, 'Touched By Light' keeps things buried in a fathoms-deep pool of atmosphere as mechanical vocal samples emerge and subside around the chugging rhythms and faltering percussive loops.The whole package is finished off perfectly with a remix from Canadian techno master, Basic Soul Unit, who throws 'Touched By Light' into more regulated form, ready for the floor, with solid grooves and a hardy techno backbone.
Weitone is a project that relies on its contrasts - a continual zigzag-ing between one and the other - in your face whilst hidden and restrained, cold and metallic but also warm and cinematic. Somewhere in this obscurity there is solace and something to be found.Seek and you shall find.

Storming into our fifth release from the dirty shores of New Jersey, Green Village is proud to present Village Elders 001, a compilation EP featuring new material from artists who have already flown the flag for GV. The A-side is held down by the Plan B duo of DJ Spider and Dakini9, purveyors of the Metro Area's dirtiest and deepest house sounds. Spider gets toxic a second time, following his 2013 Instruction drop with 'Toxic Trace 2', a thickly layered deep house cut whose seedy percussion underbelly contrasts vividly with the more traditional deep house pads that accompany it. Dakini9's 'Lost Paradise' is dark and mysterious like its title, the hats, trumpets, and vocals emerging in tangled webs of dub effects, a strong follow-up to her dope EP for the label. Disaroen, a duo from Toronto, half of which previously appeared on GV, turns in the most barren of the four tracks, 'Serious Doorman', heads-down techno that crackles to life halfway in and an auspicious debut for a promising new group. Last is NJ heavyweight Nicuri, a rising star whose 'Ripples of Time' closes the EP in his signature searching, melodic style.

For the fifth release Vanila goes Vanilla, this time with the debut ep from the Athenian artist Expropriation. "Expropriate While U Can" and "Poza Putana" are two long and slow trips, that perfectly fit in the current filthy mood of the greek capital.

**Limited hand-stamped edition, vinyl only!**

A search query on your preferred search engine will probably not deliver any satisfying results on the artist FehlZuendung, as the duo prefers to remain anonymous. Music as the essential element of this collaboration is simply too important to be subordinated to individuals. "Weiter geht es" is a dark and melancholic release, having the courage to trust in slowness and patience.

(makaton, south london ordnance rmxs) Following the deep textures of Dan Curtin's 'Galaxies Merging EP', EPM Music now heads into darker realms with 'Drown' by House of Black Lanterns, and featuring remixes by Makaton and South London Ordnance.

The 'Ichinen' project was born from the strong music connection between Roberto Bosco and Kiny - both producer, performers and founders of Last Drop Records imprint - and from the need to share their personal music concept. Finally, this year they returns on their label with the first official track under new Ichinen monicker. The title-track, 'A Morning Without Glory', is indeed a unique melting pot of the different music approaches and visions. The track is determination at its purest form: a relentless 4/4 beat impulse, constantly striving and spaced out by industrial and metallic sounds that convey its deep and atmospheric imaginary. Truly abstract and experimental techno that goes beyond its ordinary stylistic logics. On the B-side one may find 'A Morning Without Glory' reviseted at this time in two evocative interpretation by the most renowed artist in the nowadays techno scene. The first one is by Dasha Rush with a 'Summer Light Remix', with a more serene and organic version of the original track. The last one is by Etapp Kyle who prefers to highlights low frequencies and dub inflections, adding a different touch to the astounding original tune: uniquely different.

"Sawlin & Subjected - Textures - by EDLX's in-house designer Jan Willem van den Ban. Consistent with their music and profile, the artwork for the Sawlin & Subjected releases had to be similarly dark and enigmatic. Revealing little of what's inside, the cover gives only the slightest hint, but just enough to trigger curiosity.
Dark and underground aren't necessarily synonymous with black, so the insides reveal a world rich of sound and colour, step by step."

Forged in the pitch black recesses of underground Berlin, long-time conspirators Sawlin & Subjected have been making bold, distinct and largely faceless techno from the cloisters of their Vault Series home. Now comes the first in a two-part EP for Electric Deluxe, titled 'Foreign Awake', a much broodier spacy homage than we've yet heard from the pair. Shying away from usual PR and biographies, Sawlin, Subjected and their third Vault Series member Mørbeck have been making names for themselves on the weight of their music alone. Raw, industrial hues, distortion and chest-caving basslines are some of the tropes that have coloured their anonymous ascension to date. While Sawlin has strayed a little from the Vault camp, Subjected has yet to release elsewhere. Until now. In April Subjected released his debut LP, 'Zero', which channeled his and the label's respected tough and concept-free aesthetic into a fully functioning full length. But for Electric Deluxe they've served up something all together different. Swapping their usual gung-ho floor artillery for swirling atmospheric vistas, subtle tones and cavernous empty spaces, 'Foreign Awake pt.1 sees Sawlin & Subjected paint chilling, post-apocalypse landscapes in three parts. Deep, dark and dangerously hypnotic, this is Sawlin & Subjected at their most compelling. Sawlin & Subjected - Textures - by EDLX's in-house designer Jan Willem van den Ban Consistent with their music and profile, the artwork for the Sawlin & Subjected releases had to be similarly dark and enigmatic.

Serot collaborates with jazz pianist Iiro Rantala and trumpetist Verneri Pohjola on a genre blending house / techno EP. Remixes include a futuristic jazz ambient remix by Eduardo De La Calle and a strong techno bomby by Emmanuel. 2 bonus tracks and 3 additional remixes (Hoshina Anniversary, nAX_Acid and Preslav) included in a download card.

Berlin is home to both Andrew Claristidge and Leonard De Leonard and these 2 amazing producers have joined forces to create a new side project away from their respective main duties with Acid Washed and Leonizer Records.
The collaboration between between Andrew & Leonard or 'AC & LDL' as they are know for this release has created 3 outstanding tracks which already come heavily supported by the lucky few who have early copies of the release. The final track of the this 4 track release is a remix of the title track from 'Acid Washed' who need no introduction.
The EP named after the title track is 'Increase the dosage' and comes on a 180gram green record with unique cover art from the talented artist Morgan Navarro.

Presenting the fourth vinyl release, Los Angeles imprint Reinhardt welcomes Romanian sonic explorer Akim# to the fold. Culminating in four tracks crossing genres and themes, pulling from influences and experiences throughout a history crafting his art within the Bucharest electronic music scene.
Taking elements of ambient, electronica and techno, channeled through a dream-state lens. The Phosphene EP is created for the dance floor with a soundscape sensibility, making for an unmapped odyssey.

Lessismore (formerly Lessismorecordings) was launched 10 years ago, and has been on hold for a few years. At the time the transition from vinyl to digital didn't feel right and now that the vinyl market is coming up again the love and faith to release a beautiful product (vinyl with cool artwork) is back.This 10 year anniversary is a good reason to revive from hibernation state and to start sharing great music again. The first few releases from the relaunch will represent re-releases of the strongest EP's from the back catalogue with remixes by respected artists.

The Alexis Tyrel remix of Estroe's Taxotere has a palpable energy which comes from the masterful fusion of pounding kicks and luminous synth stabs that swell and bulge out through the mix like bright flashes of summer lightning.

The Advent remix of MBC's Zeitlupe starts with a galloping synth that builds in intensity. Just as one is lulled into a "false feel" of the track, the synth part transforms into the syncopated groove of the original version. The track fluctuates between both patterns periodically. With several intriguing modifications of the main sound throughout, and with a pacey aggression, this track is both fierce and deep.

Gideon also remixes Zeitlupe and in his version the intensity is increased a little more. The main groove is prevalent again which drives this remix. However, the real profound sections are where the beat breaks down and yields to the resonantly electrifying lead synth which consumes all in its path. Conspicuously powerful and driving.

Once more on remix duties, this time Gideon interprets Alexis Tyrel's H for Hustler. Rhythm and percussion based, it exemplifies Lessismore's ethic - it is both fundamental and bold. Strong and steady machine like beats push the track along relentlessly while industrial scrapes grind away on top. The "Hustler" sample is sporadically placed but is still used enough to give a hypnotic feel to its use.

The original version of H for Hustler by Alexis Tyrel focuses on the basic elements that are at the core of timeless dance classics. The captivating and hypnotizing beat powers its way throughout. The "Hustler" sample is used rhythmically to great effect while the perfectly aimed machine-gun snares find their mark and are perfectly positioned to hold attention and build atmosphere where needed.

New year - new music. The label Freakadelle starts the year 2017 with Superis EP' by Gerald Peklar - founder of the association Freakadelle. The EP is a sampler from the same-titled album, which was released on Reflex Recordings in 2016.
The tracks have been reworked particularly for the dance floor and feature precise shuffled grooves, driving basslines and a reduced but sufficient amount of sound elements. Only B1 (Superis5) is the odd one out, being a dreamy and spheric electronica track. Apart from that, the EP impresses with hypnotic loops and pressing arrangements without flourishes.

This excellent four-track offering is the Italian pairing's third EP on Curle, following on from 'Blue Aconite' in 2013 and 'Same Mistake Twice' last year, which garnered them support from techno heavyweights such as Sven Väth, Laurent Garnier and Efdemin.

11th November sees dynamic duo Hiver return to cherished Belgium imprint, Curle Recordings, with their latest EP, entitled 'Soundescence'.

This excellent four-track offering is the Italian pairing's third EP on Curle, following on from 'Blue Aconite' in 2013 and 'Same Mistake Twice' last year, which garnered them support from techno heavyweights such as Sven Väth, Laurent Garnier and Efdemin.

Curle, who recently celebrated their 10th anniversary, have fast become one of the most exciting and respected underground labels in the game. Past releases by the likes of Hiver, as well as prolific DJ/producer, Matthew Herbert, whose timeless track 'See You On Monday' was recently reissued by them, has contributed towards this success.

Kicking off the release is the title-named track, 'Soundescence', displaying the melodic, psychedelic sound Hiver has been praised for previously. Delicate synth patterns perfectly bled with the understated drums and percussive elements. This ethereal approach to Techno continues on the following deep-groover, 'One More Snooze'.

The B-side opener, 'Phonotis', immediately breaks the silence with a steady 4/4 rhythm, seeing a squelchy synth bassline, warm pads and floating atmospheric textures scattered throughout the six-minute number.

Closing the EP is 'Floor Diving', which once again showcase Hiver's sleek and seductive style of dance music that is made for the dark, underground clubs of Europe and beyond.

L/F/D/M squeezes off a volley of misshapen bangers and atonal wormholes in Music Without Discipline, making a mutant follow-up to his M Is A Shape (2015) LP and Crocodiles In The Ceiling (2016) EP for Alessio Natalizia (Not Waving) & Sam Willis' Ecstatic label.
For his third solo LP proper as L/F/D/M, the London-based producer/artist/designer jams, layers and hacks a clutch of new hardware toys, the Akai VX90 and Yamaha TX81Z in particular, into 11 variants of what is essentially a style of no wave or new beta techno.
Pursuing his taste for unique, visceral and affective electronic tones into odder integers of the club, L/F/D/M establishes a jagged line that runs from original '80s industrialists thru Larry Heard's legendary Gherkin Jerks and the scenius of Downwards' brummie radge packets to a place right between the eyes of 2017.
DJs and dancers will find full fat, wonky weapons ranging from the cranky-assed jacker Dance, You Awful Cunt, thru to a sludgy turn called Birds, a super-tangy Chicago percolator Texan Flower Girl, and the throaty acid gargle of Living Without Gain. But it's the way in which Richard Smith is just as happy to follow his nose into sparkling vignettes such as After R Version and Ballet, and into the grubby pits of Pinx that really gives this record its shape and asserts its messed-up character.

A Gathering Together is Ron Morelli's second full-length for Hospital Productions: a 'techno' cacophony brought to its granular detail and reduced to its most elemental tonal depths. A cohesive fusion of surreal and feverish deja vu loops, brittle noise, fucked rhythms, scrap metal percussions, pro-one metal synths, and an injection of near-buried, Drano vocal samples, it's a fearsome celebration of brokenness, of amplified surroundings.Stereo-shifting drones and driving rhythms that tell the stories of those now gone, more a soundtrack for a wake than 4/4 crafted for the dancefloor. There's a naked anxiety at work that doesn't turn away from loss, but runs with an excited melancholy that looks to a future that won't exist. The boldness of the gestures are not to be confused with exuberance.With this effort Morelli has shown remarkable restraint and patience most notably highlighted on title track 'A Gathering Together.' An intense cut born from rapid-paced dead-end urban environments that force people together. It's a calling to do more, include more, and celebrate the many forms within those inconspicuous places.Upon numerous listens, it's clear the sound design is a reflection of heavy compositional themes that suggest a greater whole. This is hard, dirty techno--humid, reduced, bare bones, yet dense and dissolved to its electronic soil. Heavy without being oppressive, it is the culmination of many elements pulled from all spheres of modern electronics, eaten, digested, and spit back out. Produced at the end of 2014, with final m,ixdown and additional production in spring 2015 by Krikor Kouchian and Ron Morelli in Paris, Hospital Productions is proud to offer A Gathering Together.

Sinfol readies a two-part release on his Anagram Label featuring Anetha, Elad Magdasi, Octual and more. Curated by Amsterdam's Sinfol, Volume 1 of 'Phasing Faces' will feature himself alongside Italy's Davide, Berlin's Elad Magdasi and Parisian producer Anetha. Meanwhile Volume 2 will see core Anagram artist Octual helm the package, joined by Mathame, who's appeared on Krill Music and Souvenir Music, as well as Maukook who's also known under his DJ Playstation moniker. Sinfol's dark and ominous 'Trembling' lays down a cacophony of sounds whilst a mesmerizing voice operates on top. The ethereal and rhythmic 'Ono' from Davide then introduces soaring synths and various spectral nuances before Work Them Records producer and Blocaus resident Anetha's 'Acid Train' lives up to its name with an infectious 303 and raves stabs. Tying things together, Front Left Records' Elad Magdasi's 'Two Floors' closes off the release in an epic manner with thudding kicks and otherworldly melodies.

Following up the inaugural release by Glos, Escapism 002 is a mesmerizing two- tracker by one of Leipzig's most talented producers, Talski. He is part of the Institut fuer Zukunft crew, co-runs DUR Records and also performs rare live sets together with his friend Perm as PANDT. 'Soothsayer' shows why analogue production skills are still highly appreciated in contemporary dance music. By limiting himself to only a few machines, Talski manages to create addictive and reduced tracks that focus only on the essentials. This comes especially apparent on 'Soothsayer I' which although stripped back, builds tension, has atmosphere and is driving. 'Soothsayer II' is more evolved. Straight enough to keep people on the dance floor, yet with a fragile and melancholic beauty to it, that sticks with you long after leaving the club.

Immense noise/techno slab from iDEAL featuring Varg, Sewer Election, Alexandra Atnif and Copley Medal (Dais records' Ryan Martin) with a spirit-rinsing, full spectrum noise and techno showcase to leave you sore and breathless.
Sweden's indomitable Dan Johansson a.k.a. Sewer Election - whose Vidöppna Sår was among the earliest LPs released by PAN - goes first with a pyroclastic torrent of molten distortion which calves away to, strangely enough, reveal acoustic guitar strums and soggy location recordings before handing over to keenly tipped American artist Alexandra Atnif, who really gets under the skin with a pair of thrumming rhythmic noise pieces demonstrating devilish discipline and a proper feel for biting-point tones. Keep an eye out for her new stuff.
Trust Ryan Martin's Copley Medal alias to reset the scene with Ger Lopig on the other side.
Following from last year's Trance Below The Streets collaboration with iDEAL bossman, Joachim
Nordwall, his latest sacrifice is an absorbing piece of drone torpor that could initially be a
Deathprod piece or a Black Metal intro, but which eventually precipitates a deep, systolic pulse that marks up as the best we've heard from him.
Then the prolific Varg takes us to the edge with the purified, headlong oscillations and noise payload of Run No More Pts. I & II, primed to slice thru the floor or dank bedrooms with unrepentant, laser-guided precision.
Supersolid.

Shrinkwrapped 180g heavyweight 12" vinyl cut by Beau Thomas at 1087 Mastering.

Silas Moldenhawer and Jonas Kenton, both children of the early 80s, grew up alongside each other in the tiny big city of Copenhagen. In their teenage years they discovered electronic music and this led them to start spinning records and producing tracks together. Years later they met two other talented musicians and formed well-establish Danish indie-electro outfit "When Saints Go Machine", but still kept on building Kenton Slash Demon as a separate project.
Now, four years after the release of their most recent EP Daemon, Danish production duo Kenton Slash Demon return with Skydancer, an immersive and intricate sonic interpretation of club culture that represents a new chapter and direction for the act. Skydancer I is a haunting 7-minute monster, with pitched vocals, industrial hats and a sinister central bass line. The second act, Skydancer II, provides a sunnier counterpoint with a nod to the UK rave scene with its broken drum patterns. This release represents the birth of WAA Industry, a new imprint helmed by KSD and visual artist The Emperor Of Antarctica. Skydancer I & II will be released on a one-sided 12" picture disc record in collaboration with Australian label Future Classic.
