Techno News

Whenever Dr. Motte and Robert Babicz (aka Rob Acid) meet for a studio session, it is certain that they create real technoid masterpieces!

For the official 20th vinyl release, once again PRAXXIZ left nothing to chance and presents a very special ear candy.

The 'PRAXXIZ 20 comes along as a double a-side release with two outstanding tracks that represent a trend-setting milestone for the label in 2014.

'OneDipDip' and 'Born2be' - two tracks that mean powerful Techno - clear and twisting - with a strong old-school attitude and thereby absolutely ultra-hot!

The return of Head Front Panel.

First full EP from the enigmatic Osch! Straight from the Norrkˆping underground, this live techno master drops three solid tracks. Two stripped down, beat-driven techno tools are accompanied by one more abstract track to show that this versatile producer is far from a newcomer to the scene.

PURPLE & ORANGE

Terminal M doesn't seem to get enough off Italian artists at the moment. For our winter release we found 4 great tracks from Uakoz and Alex Lentini (Flash/Elevate Records)which are remixed by Drumcode artist Dubspeeka from Bristol to keep the balance right between southern and northern europe.

EGO Plastix Records is back on vinyl with a few of the best hard techno artists like
Manu Kenton, Neck, Stephan Strube & Mavett, DJ Drops, Chrisma, Bang Bang Servo and KlirrFaktor.

Limited 200 copy with seven hard techno tunes release only on vinyl!!!

produced by kai randy michel and carsten fietz - already support from marco bailey and carl cox !! limited re-stock of the original pressing !!

Berlin based Brit BNJMN returns to his regular label home of Delsin with a brand new mini-album of experimental cuts that continue his journey into ever more decayed, lo-fi and gritty sound sculpture. As well as albums on Rush Hour and Astro: Dynamics, BNJMN has put out a fine EP on Stolen Kisses and in 2015 started his own label Brack with two great releases. This new release features six tracks and kicks off with 'Microgravity,' a shadowy exercise in suspensory dub that ripples and groans, growing in menace over its static laced three minutes. Next, 'Womb' is a vast chamber of glory synths and rippling pads that sounds like it comes from the after life, 'P-Tr' is a high tension, nerve jangling brew of glassy electronics with heavy kicks buried deep below and '1987', a fuzzy, darkened brew of spacious kicks, whirring machines and bubbly tape sounds that are seriously foreboding. 'Oder' is a more emotional work where multiple synth lines echo about and emit cautious rays of light, then finally 'Amygdala' is based around a frazzled, oversized and spraying bassline that is backed by radiant pads and a dystopian house groove and it rounds out another expertly outlier collection full of strange yet compelling tracks and textures.

Delsin's dance floor focussed Inertia series taps up Berlin based producer BNJMN for his Droid EP. It's a whirring fusion of wild synths and thumping drums. It's tough and direct and, as ever, is filled with unusual sounds and textures. Remixes on the flipside come from Cassegrain and Inland.

Heavy dark techno tracks by Rotterdam based Damcase debut on Tavares' Bunker Records.

A key artist in the shaping of electronic music, Dan Curtin has explored many styles in his career and now he has come full circle. The hardware repopulates the studio, bringing with it the inventive, organic techno sound he is most fondly known for, this time with a modern twist. These tracks take you to the heart of the man and are some of his best work.

Frankfurts label eMBI Music calls on the inimitable talents of Italian Marco Cassanelli, who really delivers on the 4-tracker that is the Adub EP.
A smart and atmospheric minimal jaunt, the original takes the breadth away thanks to its unrelenting persuasion and its penchant for the unpredictable.
''Cushion'' is another spiky, metallic number whereby the ambiance plays another key role, while Fluxion's remix of Adub is full of weighty low-end signals and intricate synth work.

Dozzy and Neel's exciting new label Spazio Disponibile serves up a third release this summer, with the latest one coming from Italian Marco Shuttle. The techno stylist and Eerie boss serves up three tracks that continue to mark out his heady and hypnotic aesthetic.

Keeping up their fine schedule, the Spazio Disponibile label is back with a fifth excellent EP, this time from Modes. Modes is an artist who is making his debut here, and he is one of a few guys Spazio is creating a platform for in the coming months. Modes fits right in with the deeply subliminal, transcendental style of the label and its associated party in Rome. Opener 'M52' is a supple and sci-fi mix of smooth rubber kicks and Millsian melodies that are trippy and hypnotic. 'M51' is darker and moodier, with smeared pads and grainy ambience making for a big and shadowy chamber of end-of-days techno that is full of foreboding, and finally 'M44' is more forceful and brutal, with reverb and electricity static adding texture to the cavernous airwaves. Compelling from start to finish, this is a fantastic debut from Modes.

limited re-stock of this original pressing !! contains a phat electro techno track on the flip side !!

Graciously welcoming the second full-length lp from Philadelphia's Jesse Dewlow, recording under the moniker People Skills. The follow-up to 2014's Siltbreeze set Tricephalic Head. Ten sunken songs, derisively adorned with rhythm and rudimentary dub effects. Bedroom elegies for the lost and irretrievable, last-ditch spells for transformation and renewal. Thurston Moore and Byron Coley likened the previous record to South Island NZ pop played inside of an armored car', and that description holds here: underneath the hoods of these wracked and weather-beaten recordings are melodies of disarming beauty and optimism, bordering on the (wilfully) mawkish, bubblegum ground underfoot. Each piece as time-stopping and evocative as an old photograph of someone who used to mean something. Whether speaking through stately keyboard pastorals ('Mint Julep'), rat-arsed rock 'n roll slur ('89¢ Public Render') or sulphurous aggro-electronics (the two-part title track),Gunshots At Crestridge exposes, then seeks to redeem, all our tiny acts of self-sabotage, all our sins against time. When to stay, when to go...you never got it right, not once.

First strike has a dreamy feel to it, kind of like a ride on a horse under the moonlight. It just so happens that the animal is actually on steroids. Fifth release on I/Y. Color vinyl.
Brutal cuts by Tempre. Enjoy!

After the deranged chamber-edits of 'Vienna' for Where To Now, U returns to the well-trodden path between flattery and irreverence in dance music with a special edition 2-track 12" for Phantasy Sound.Friendly Ghost' enters with a splay of combat-bongos, a thin synthetic aura draws over the fluctuating rhythms before a strangely negative bassline sets the pace in nu-wave perpetual motion, inevitably spiraling back on itself into a clattering reversal.On the flip 'Ascension Hymn' rushes headlong into a mechanical shunter, abruptly dragged back by a frail and singular voice reciting an uncertain mantra of self-fulfilment over this blunted hardcore epic spanning 13 minutes.Pressed to heavyweight vinyl, designed and printed by the artist in an edition of 300ish.

Fifth 12" on the 10 years series featuring tracks by Silent Servant, Varg, Nuel and Giorgio Gigli.

Today, we have computer software consisting of representations of a three dimensional interface on a two dimensional screen, being controlled by a third party hardware, emulating the sound of machines built twenty years ago, which were themselves built emulating the sound of a machine built thirty years before yet." - Nate Harrison 'Mass Confusion' is about our struggle to understand and survive within this world and its illusions, keeping our own identity, desires and hopes up. Welcome to the mess.

Earlier this year, Subwax Bcn made an important contribution to the electronic music community by having the timeless dub techno compilation Vibrant Forms II by Fluxion remastered and reissued. First released in the year 2000 on Chain Reaction, Earlier this year, Subwax Bcn made an important contribution to the electronic music community by having the timeless dub techno compilation Vibrant Forms II by Fluxion remastered and reissued. First released in the year 2000 on Chain Reaction, Vibrant Forms II is widely considered to be one of the greatest achievements in the genre. As it turned out, Vibrant Forms II became one of the last records to be released on Mark Ernestus and Moritz von Oswald's classic label - a suitable swan song if there ever was one. And that's it, right

Well not quite.

If one would search for Fluxion - Vibrant Forms III, Discogs would come up empty and Google would treat it as a misspelling. Until now.
Konstantinos Soublis, aka Fluxion, and Subwax Bcn have decided to pick up the banner and release Vibrant Forms III as a CD as well as four individual 12" records under 2016. It contains everything you could hope for and more: The massive, booming basses, the clicks and hisses, the atmospheric thunderstorms, the opium smoke-scented streaks of reverb and dub echoes. The warmth. Yes, above all else the warmth: Sometimes moist and dripping as in Safe Harbour, sometimes blisteringly dry as in Variant. It's no easy task, giving cold, dead machines warm breaths. And no-one quite does it like Fluxion.

The Reissue of Vibrant Forms II was an act of cultural preservation. It reminded us about the legacy of the Basic Channel label family, in which Chain Reaction played an important part. Without this legacy, the contemporary body of electronic music would look different and make very different sounds. With the Release of Vibrant Forms III, Subwax Bcn takes it one step further. Fluxion's Vibrant Forms III album remind us of the timelessness of truly great music, never mind the genre.

die neue axis

The third and final release of the Orakel X-Files trilogy by Pablo Mateo under his P-Mateo alias. Vinyl only.

The swedish label Dirty Hands strikes back with double force. This motor driven techno 12' is hard to hide from. Labelboss Per Hammar says 'When Patrick gave me this track, I played it in every set for the 3 months. When he later told me that he hasn't found a home for it, we said in choir 'let's do a Dirty Hands release out of it!'. And after that moment, all my previous plans for the label was deleted.' With Patrick's ruthless original combined with Per Hammar's jungle sounding edit on the flip, this release isn't anything but a key into the producer duo's minds.

Separate disc of the POLEGROUP 5YRS vinyl box

Massive and analog powered tracks by labelowner Alex Kork.
This ep underlines his style with a few of the most wanted tracks from his live sets.

Transition Lab Recordings is proud to present his second release of the talented member of Transition Lab Family Alfredo Caforio with an amazing Truncate version. In this Ep Alfredo mixes perfectly the deep atmospheres with straight grooves and decisive percussions that make this record a complete experience and show us the whole interesting musical background of the artist.

David Flores aka Truncate doesn't need presentation. He chooses to retouch the original '1Week'. Obviously he never fails; his remix is simply,incisive, a combo of few and clear elements that go straight to kill the dancefloor.)

CoastDream from Brazil is the third artist on the Deeptrax label. Again a full 4 track EP, with these raw massive beats over a 90's feel, ecstatic house landscape which has that totally unique, beautiful naive and devastating dancefloor destruction factor.

* After years of experimentation and musical research the artist manages to find its way, creating something new in therms of music approach and very personal. Too often Labels create a limit to the possibilities of expression. This work was been created starting from the idea that in such a strange time it is possible to create something genuine, overcoming musical barriers and playing with these. The result is something difficult to categorise which draws on different types of sound, without ever identifying with any of these in particular. The former background is definitely linked to Techno, religiously respected and on this basis the EP wants to experience how the influence of distant voices and conflicting times may lead to an unexpected result, taking energy from the differences and turning them into something unique.

Label boss Hans Bouffmyhre is back for a full EP on Sleaze Records, leading on from recent releases on MB Elektronics, Unrilis & Unknown Territory. Cabin Pressure EP takes a slightly darker turn, with two hypnotic and hard hitting techno tracks.
He's invited one of his favourite producers on remix duties. Developer is well known for providing quality as well as quantity, showing this with his recent 25 track album 'In Pure Form' on Modularz.
He's excelled himself again here, with 2 signature style remixes to complete this amazing release.

Although still relatively young, Matt Star started his career in the late nineties followed by his first vinyl release in 2006. His music has since appeared on the likes of Hypercolour, Cocoon, Repeat Music, Rawax and many more. Following an appearance on the label as part of our latest mix CD ('Leftback Vol.1) Matt now joins the Leftback roster for his first' full EP on the label accompanied by a remix by label heads Michael McLardy & Dudley Strangeways.

Songs about Transhumanity, a new definition of life and THE solution. Mesmerizing synthwave sequences and deep vocals by awesome singer PLAVKA (from Jam&Spoon, The Shamen and Rising High Collective Fame!) . Taken from Remute's album 'Play The Game' and soundtrack for the PC-game 'TransHuman' by James Earl Cox III.

Support by Dave Clarke, Efdemin, Jonas Kopp, DJ Hyperactive, Truncate, Rolando, Mark Broom, Raiz, Kyle Geiger, Green Velvet, Marcel Fengler, Marcelus, Submerge, Electric Rescue, The Advent, Ben Long, Dan Curtin, Sasha Carassi, HD Substance, Paul Mac, Turbo Turbo

GND Label Head S-File returns with his new two track techno banger release Digital Disorder and Transmission.

AProject directed by Miho and supported by AIRA.

The fallen angel. The rebellious soul expelled from the pearly gates and forced to live in hell among mere mortals for eternity. Here they endeavour to condition and corrupt everything around them, a bold middle finger aimed in the direction of its former home in the promised land. Now imagine a soundtrack to this tragic tale. FunkinEven—also known as Steven Julien— has made just that with his debut album Fallen.

Split into two contrasting chapters, Fallen follows the trail of our main character. The first six songs introduce us to utopia, a collection which is matched by the light and airy tones of this initial set. The twist comes right down the middle, where we descend into the project's darker, hellish bogs. Both episodes intertwine seamlessly, and all composed, written and produced by Steven himself.

Julien plays the majority of the instruments you hear on the record, using session musicians — including three appearances from Hercules on bass — sparingly to plug any gaps. All the above choices combine to emit a contagious warmth that blankets the whole record. Within the dozen tracks, he jumps between everything from jazz fusion to techno. It's easily his best work to date.

Steven Julien first surfaced in 2009 with a refreshing sound unlike many of his contemporaries. While his peers flirted with R&B, abstract grime and whatever else, Julien forged his own path, one which partnered an organic, analogue sensibility with the sounds of electro, '80s funk, and acid. Initially affiliated with the Eglo camp, he eventually formed his own label, Apron Records, which has become a reliable outlet in its own right, not only for his own workings, but also as a home base for talents like Seven Davis Jr and Greg Beato. He's also proven to be an avid collaborator over the years, having worked with Fatima, Delroy Edwards, and, most notably, Kyle Hall, with whom he creates the unapologetically raw sounds of FunkinEvil.

Another wild, rocking 4-tracker from Sunil on his new label, as the Dubliner delves further into the weird side of techno. Handstamped, in a custom stickered paper sleeve. Very limited stock, act fast!

* Templar Sound returns with the first collaborative release from two artists who have been involved with the label since its early days.

* Sydney producer George Nicholas (also a member of electronic outfit Seekae and Tempa duo Cliques) and Berlin artist Laurens von Oswald both debuted on the TS000 compilation CD released in January 2012, appearing solo under the monikers Hensen and Bardeya.

* The two have combined under the banner of GNL to deliver a four-track EP of crushing, monolithic techno. From thundering opener 'MO' to the pulsating depth charge of closing track 'RR', the EP maintains a relentless and brutal precision from beginning to end.

* TS012 by GNL has been mastered and cut by Christoph Grote-Beverborg at Dubplates & Mastering, Berlin. The release will be available from 8 July.

Collecting Orders For A Repress! *After more than two decades of behind the scenes collaboration Juan Atkins & Moritz von Oswald present Borderland - their debut collaborative album to be released this summer on Tresor Records.

*The album - made up of 8 sequences, which seamlessly blend the styles of both masters - was recorded at the beginning of 2013 over various studio sessions in Berlin and will be released as a series of three 12"s and a CD album.

*Limited to 500 units, pressed on heavy vinyl and packed in hefty sleeves, this is the nal installment of the vinyl series, deeply cut with two highlights of the Borderland album. Digital Forest the dystopian soundtrack to a drive through old Detroit slowly transforms into colossal danceoor jam.
*On the ip, Treehouse revisits classic house adding the ample proportions characteristic of the duo's sound.

Proper atmospheric techno tracks on the new Cabrera label! Killer Dario Zenker remix included!

San Francisco's Matrixxman back on Dekmantel...full info to follow

Debut solo release from Midnight Circuitry, showing a dark, polished amethyst with aromatic notes of white pepper, tobacco, and black currant; silky with a palate of dark plums, black raspberry, and hints of French vanilla. Closes with subtle tart black cherry and a lengthy, structural finish.

Plant43 aka Emile Facey returns to CPU with his second EP for the Sheffield imprint, and brings more of his ultra-refined electro to the table. Surgical pads, robotic x0x beats and melodic basslines fuse the tracks into Facey's signature science-lab machine funk.

Facey has been very busy since his last outing on CPU back in 2013, with an LP on Shipwrec, and EP's on Semantica, AC Records and Frustrated Funk. He is showing no sign of slowing down and 'Weightless in the Void' pushes his sound even further into the future.

One of the most charismatic pioneers of UK dance music, Skream, is back on the visionary label that is Crosstown Rebels. The momentous 'You Know, Right' has been avidly searched for since it's inception and will finally be released in November 2016.This two track EP contains two innovative productions from the musical chameleon, pushing the boundaries of genre once again with breakbeat percussion, potent keys and a garage style vocal on the monstrous 'You Know, Right'. The EP also features the techno soundscape 'Minor Smooth' on the B-side, which also is going down a storm .We last saw Skream on Crosstown Rebels last year with the epic 'Still Lemonade', which gained high critical acclaim. Keeping the standards high the truly individual 'You Know, Right' has already been heavily supported this summer by Jackmaster, Jamie Jones, Annie Mac, Steve Lawler and Damian Lazarus amongst others.Starting out as one of dubstep's first most prominent and prolific producers, Skream went on to achieve commercial success and critical acclaim with Magnetic Man alongside Artwork and Benga reaching no.5 in the UK Album Chart and reaching no.10 in the UK Singles Chart. More recently he has been releasing on his label Of Unsound Mind and as a sought after remixer on labels such as Boysnoize Records, Hot Creations and Watergate Records.

Following the acclaim of Time Traveler's I'm Made of Stars LP, Michele Pinna presents The Remixes Report I, featuring remixes of tracks from the album by four key names in European and US techno. These remixes take Pinna's dystopian sci-fi vision and place it firmly in the club, with each artist providing their own unique take on a different track from the album.
Brian Sanhaji opens the EP in style, taking Time Traveler's Stardust and extrapolating its industrial atmosphere into a screaming and tense techno roller. Bass Mooy, label boss at Mord Records, supplies his take on Currupttion, bringing up the pace and turning the spacious original into something altogether more dense and percussive. The third helping comes from touring veteran Black Asteroid, who here draws on his industrial background and fuses it with the futurism of the source material, resulting in a twisting, otherworldly adventure. Closing up the EP is Chicago's DJ Hyperactive, who reliably takes apart Time Traveler's Timestretcher 17121985, before putting it back together upside down and ending up with a tight, club-ready and hypnotic track that lives up to the artist's name.
The Remix Report I sits perfectly alongside the album, and is essential for any fans who want to hear the themes of the LP taken in different directions, or simply for DJs and techno enthusiasts looking for forward thinking dance music with a sci-fi edge.

Second release of Bremen based Drowned Records. Various Artists, Various Sound. Raw stuff for the hood, from the heart. Vinyl only!

New Ex Aequo release, this time from italian producer Hydergine.
He delivers 3 Techno soundscapes with Detroit influences.

We proudly present Jay Lumen's new imprint Footwork. For the first release Jay has created a massive EP with his own unique signature sound presenting three tracks corresponding to different time frames within the dark hours until sunrise.

Hotflush are proud to welcome an exciting new talent to the roster. Her name is Or:la and she arrives at her debut 12' already boasting a formidable reputation as a DJ and promoter in the UK - her long-standing Meine Nacht party is Merseyside's finest and her appearances on WHP line-ups are turning heads. The 12' in question is 'UK Lonely' - a four track EP that flaunts enviable range and seems to contradict the producer's youthful years. In it she covers a broad spectrum of past and contemporary influences spanning garage, Afrobeat, breaks and dubstep.
The A-side is punchy yet elegant: vocal cut-ups drift through off-beat percussions in title track 'UK Lonely', while riddims and melodies weave in and out of each other on an exotic 'Limbosoup'. The B-side is more contemplative: 'X & O' recalls the wistful vocals and layers them over aughties breakbeats before 'Jaipur' rounds off this opening salvo in delicate and playful fashion, hinting at things to come.

This is a vinyl only release.

Tropico Timelexia is a rare tropical disease. In the midst of oppressive heat and humidty, the subject loses notion of time and experiences delirium. Fearless explorer Benoit B takes us through his elevating journey in the depth of an atemporal and sweltering world with this beautiful new EP for Peur Bleue Records. From the hazy and voluptuous atmosphere of 'Zanzibar Sunrise' and 'Weekend Girl' to the rough and throbbing vibrations of 'Crystal Fuselage' and 'A Night In Gobi Desert', Tropico Timelexia EP is a flushed expedition where humans seem to have lost control over nature.

A project that came to life fuelled by collectors' obsession and a lifelong willingness to dive head- first into unknown musical wormholes, Miles Whittaker and Sean Canty have never been defined by a singular musical trajectory. Their opening salvo of releases dabbled with the aesthetic of the occult and provided an alternate, parallax view of the Italian Library records with which they were both obsessed at the time, but as their long running mixtape series and brilliantly curated DDS label attest, their interests extend far outside the crevices of early electronic music and into dance music, dancehall, roots, jungle, techno, industrial, noise and beyond. While 2013's Testpressing series provided an outlet for mostly club-based productions shot from the hip, Wonderland has been constructed with a narrative in mind. From the clipped Hardstyle of the opening Curzon, through the jaunty Dancehall mutations of Animal Style and FullEdge, Exotica/House refractions on Hardnoise, the frankly ridiculous, bassbin destroying Jungle ructions on Sourcer, or the extended tease of Overstaying, it's probably the most enjoyable and loose-limbed hour of music in their catalogue, or that you'll likely hear in these weird, angst-ridden times.

Toxic is the name of the first lamp, in a series of more to come, on the cover made by Remy the Feyter, glass blower artist. The tracks are composed by Dieter Vorderhake and are a natural inspiration of 20 years of techno influence. Liroconite and Cornubite are natural stones with the same colors as the lamp, hence the names of the tracks. Tingeling, the name of the third track, is a Dutch word which will translate itself more or less into a ding-dong sound. This sound is one of the prominent sounds in the track which announces a change in the track. It is inspired on the sound the metro doors make in Amsterdam when they close. The metro is ready to continue its journey... so is the song.
---
Jelly, made by Remy de Feyter - glass blower artist, is the second lamp that features on the cover of this EP series. Just as the former EP, the tracks listen to names of natural stones with colors similar to the colors of Jelly. The tracks this time, again created by Dieter Vorderhake, are more techno oriented; raw edges in the sounds and a rhythmatic drive create a mysteries dark atmosphere. This EP is definitely made for the dance floor!

After Mike Gervais' strident work on SYM017, Ben Sims' Symbolism imprint returns with Spanish newcomer JLG's four track 'Convolution' EP.
Originally coming to Sims' attention via the demo section of his 'Run It Red' radio show/podcast, Javier LG has previously released for Dynamic Reflection and Substance but it's the quality of his unreleased material that secured his place on Symbolism. Characterised by intricate and interwoven melodic rhythms, some at the forefront and some almost there, JLG's debut for the label is an infectious and consummate affair.

Sheffield's Hopeworks has become an essential melting pot for the cultural and musical future of a city whose electronic heritage has surpassed its industrial one.

finally repressed

Hot on the heels of the release of Neville Watson's Songs to Elevate Pure Hearts album, Crème Organization releases a three track EP of remixes from the longplayer. Drawing on diverse names, each of the remixers transforms their given track into something quite different from the original. The first is by Watson's frequent collaborator, Bulgarian producer and live specialist KiNK. He tackles 'Songs To Elevate Pure Hearts' and laces it up with some lazy old rave breakbeats and plenty of lucid synth and melody pattern before fast rising Dixon Avenue Basement Jams associate Marquis Hawkes takes on 'Against The Tide'. He imbues it with what is fast become a trademark sonic weirdness, with wrought iron synth bars interlocking with molten synth lines and a slow, purposeful and predatory mood. Finally, American Moon B turns in a trippy outsider house version of 'Son Of House' with off kilter claps, see-sawing synths and organic drums.

We have reached out beyond our core artist roster for the first time and enlisted the talents of the one and only Roman Lindau of the infamous Fachwerk label. In just five tracks, Roman takes us on a ride through a multitude of sounds and emotions from deep to heavy to whimsical and back again. 'With My Hands' opens things up with grinding percussion and a massive call and response of warm industrial synths while a soulful vocal teases and shimmers of resonant acid add a dash of attitude perfect for picking up the pace and burning a hole in the dance floor. The title track 'Strange Brew' is up next and it combines chugging organic percussion with classic Detroit house stabs creating an ideal balance between peak time mayhem and the deeper side of things. Picking up the pace, Lindau delivers a burner titled 'Move' with rapid fire percussion, vintage acid lines and a super slick vocal hook that is ready to start a fire any time it gets dropped. 'After Dark' follows up and it might possibly be the biggest and baddest tune of the bunch. Huge melodic stabs and rising strings keep the pressure building while speedy percussion fuels a feverish endeavor. Last not least rounding out the EP with the digital bonus track 'Stab Incision': a trip into 'Dub' territory with a classic palette of atmospherics versus fierce, modern drums ripe for late nights and early mornings. Over all Roman Lindau's debut on Second State is an impeccable display of his range and talent and we couldn't be happier to have him on board. Welcome Roman!

VENT is revisited by an old friend, bringing visions and prophecies of times to come. Arbiter's message is bleak and machinistic, telling of a future where objects and subjects lose their boundaries and entangle. Pockets of resistance will never give in to the oppressive powers that be, and will dance to the never ending percussive rhythms and melodies they worship. The revolution is not in sight for them, but never forgotten.

BREAKBOT carries on his funky quest with 'You Should Know' from his album By Your Side, a reservoir of hit songs of perfect sunny sweetness to put a bit of summer in your speakers (after 'Fantasy", 'One Out of Two' and 'Baby I'm Yours"). Since 2012 when his album came out and he started his world tour, Thibaut Berlan aka BREAKBOT has played in the world's best festivals and venues and has comfortably gathered 200 000 Facebook fans, 45 000 Twitter followers and a total of over 15 million views of his main videos, thus creating a funky, good-humored, happy community across the planet. 'You Should Know' is a funky love song in the Breakbot tradition, supported by remixes by Busy P & Boston Bun, Homework & Le Bain, The Swiss and Le Family Club. These remixes go from modern house to retro-futuristic disco and will keep you smiling and grooving in these sometimes troubled times.

the lil louis classic in hugh new techno version

Hospital Productions collect some of the strongest coldwave pop dirges of a generation in Contrepoison's Discography 2010-2012 survey, wrapping up both his self-released tapes and releases for Dominick Fernow's cherished imprint.Since the late '90s, Québécois musician and noise artist Pierre Marc-Tremblay has been recognised as a vital force in nether musical realms with a palette ranging from hermetic black metal (Akitsa) to the bitterest rhythmic noise (Âmes Sanglantes), and, more recently, the nerve-bitingly melodic pop of Contrepoison, whose I Keep On Searching 12' - included here - is a dead firm fixture 'round these parts.Arriving at the vanguard of a new slew of coldwave revisionists and fetishists in 2010, his music stood, and still stands, head and shoulders above the rest thanks to an incessant drive and directness that can't be ignored by anyone into the original stuff, or who has arrived via the sound's prevailing, contemporary winds.Vacillating belting vocal pop arrangements with howling, stygian instrumentals of synth, guitar and enslaved drum machines, Discography 2010-2012 drags a perfectly malformed body of work, cycling chronologically from the pounding mix of industrial kicks and neofolk cadence of ...Until Next Morning's amazing title cut to the blank-eyed dirge of To Never, Forever, before taking in the stomping Deserted Story from his 2011 split with Vatican Shadow, and committing the frankly fucking addictive hits of I Keep On Searching, best summed up in that raging, glam title tune and sandwiched with aces from the compilation Around The Dragon's Broken Neck Hangs the Medal of Saint Lazarus.It only gets more wonderfully bombed out and crestfallen from therein, from the plangent siren call of Nectar of Destiny to the exclusive instrumental, The Moon Has Mad The Eclipse, and a grip of killers off The Thunders Which Collide tape, including the raging banger The Thunders Which Collide and another cut exclusive to this set in the T2-finale-esque instrumental, As The Blazing Sun Enters Scorpio.Basically, it's riddled with memorable hooks and rages like a wounded beast trapped down a well. You'll know within seconds whether you love it or not, and we definitely fall in the former category.
Hugely recommended.

A veteran of the music industry, Dave Ellesmere is way past his hardcore drumming days. Harboring the accumulated skills with a multitude of instruments, his electronic productions are intricate and meticulous. His passion for Detroit and Chicago soundscapes is evident in his latest vinyl release for MixxRecords.

'Caught In A Moment' starts off the EP with a steady techno grip engulfing a serene melody interspersed with sharp and gritty accents.

The second track opens up with solemn piano progressions combined with high pitched synths, conjuring different spheres of the musical spectrum. Aptly entitled Universal Vibe', the track evokes a very diverse array of sounds layered on top of a dubby bassline.

The sub-bassy 'From Now On Only Good Things Will Happen' kicks off in a very introspective manner, developing into a dreamy yet dark journey filled with anxiety ridden chords and drum pads.

Label chief's Tony Rodriguez aka Brothers' Vibe is on duty for the 'Universal Vibe' remix. Percussion takes the main lead, giving the track a rolling pace. Stripping down a lot of the global elements but keeping some bell chords, Rodriguez's reinterpretation offers a tribal infused piece with a completely different mood that is just as contagious as the original.

LHR001 is an obsession in hard drilling percussion, banging synth-elements & drums, that roll in a more complex groove-pattern.
This excursion is deadly effective. Heavy pounding prime time techno.

'The Illusion of Choice' Ep by Lewis Fautzi including a remix by Christian Wunsch.

Third single EP "Spring aroma" by prolific deep/dub techno producer Martin Schulte immersed in deep bass, slow rhythms, spring atmospheres, echo chords, harmonic structures associated us with spirit of Spring. Recommended to all fans of aquatic and echo chords manipulations.

Sascha Borchardt aka Monoloc is a dystopic atmospheres fanatic that has dedicated his life to the dance floor from an early age. The Frankfurt-born artist's raw yet sleek take on techno and ambient has evolved to characterise his own musical style in his productions. Monoloc's sound is a mixture between techno, dub and ambient, nurturing a tone that is driving, groovy and low-slung, but with greater emotional range. He acquires most of his inspiration from old movies and likes to work mostly with field recordings in his productions.
'The Untold Way' on Dystopian is his second album, following his first in 2012, and shows a notably matured development in the artist's style. Sascha explores the distant realms between the pillars of genres, presenting a 12 track album of techno but not as we know it - left field, keeping a foot in ambient, with elements outside of the dancefloor. He brings together the concept of an album written in his own language of atmospheric patterns, melodies and fragments of words and voices. Instead of functional four to the floor tracks he explores the meaning and depths of dark, melancholic music.
The album unfolds into a 12 chapter story of his musical style with many surprises and twists along the way. 'The Untold Way' starts with the ambient 'Revive', slow and gentle yet apprehensive. As the listener moves through the album they catch glimpses of almost formed club tracks, in 'The Untold Way', 'Michigan Lights', 'Gravity Growl' and 'Alighting'. These have remnants of a dancefloor impression, a prominent beat is there, but not much more.
At other points you see Monoloc's more experimental side. 'No GHSTS' featuring Tijana T evokes a resounding beat filling an empty space, with the occasional piano melody and eerie vocal. 'Cloning Society' is beatless, driven merely by a consistent bass and echoing voice. The album is interspersed with short ambient interludes, each just a few minutes long: 'Lowa' and 'Gently Falls', serene and reflective, give the listener time to breathe. And bringing you back to familiarity are more the dancefloor focussed tracks of the LP, 'Momentum' and 'Muted'. The twelfth and last track is 'Ground Disorder', which brings the album to a halt with an air of nostalgia.
The result is a story, a history in twelve chapters that the listener is guided through like the landscapes of a gothic horror film, with a new twist on the percussion or surprising effect hidden behind every bass sound, waiting to excite and delight.

Home Records is the musical output for Marcus Henriksson aka Nobody Home, Minilogue, Son Kite on which he writes:This vinyl is a monument for the discoveries in the search for the Self. Contemplating and exploring the questions; Who and what am I Where do I come from And what is this 'I' that we all are refering to These two musical pieces and the artwork is the outcome of these matters in mind. Mastered by Marcus 'Nobody Home". No limiting! No digital plugins!!! Little compression and some analogue EQ'ing to keep the original space and dynamics in the music.

Acid Anonymous is back with three amazing tracks by legendary Rinse. Powerful and classic distortions escaping the acid flow, all tracks are as original yet classic as you can expect from this producer. This is the release we 've been waiting for.

As some first meetings on Spaghetti Monster with a Ukranian electronic «Guru» - Stas Drive were successful the Monster team decided to provide a logic following on this story with a full EP by Stas for this summer.
The ideal behind his music - the bright cosmic vibrations for body and Soul. Stas found a special hypnotic sound and not surprising that it is one of the most played artists in sets of Hernan Cattaneo, Guy J, Nick Warren, Guy Mantzur and Cid Inc Today Stas Drive is one of the new popular faces of the world underground EDM stage and the one of most demanded remixers - says his press text and we improve it with a look on 7 greatest artist's remixes on EP. We do not wanna put tons of words to describe each percussion sound on all the versions. U can find in a pack whatever you like to play most from deeper groovy Donatello to housy Canadian vibes from Ellroy. The EP will follow by a 12'' vinyl edition with four most interesting version so now just keep your eyes open and ears focused to keep in touch with Spaghetti Monster.

Materialism next Various Artists vinyl finds us celebrating 6 years of releases! Some nasty beats only on wax!

repressed !

Not many labels make it to release number fifteen, let alone year 15, but that's exactly the milestone the Moon
Harbour family is celebrating throughout 2015. Headed up by esteemed DJ, producer, remixer and
Circoloco/DC10 Ibiza resident Matthias Tanzmann and manager André Quaas, the Leipzig based label has lasted
so long on account of it having always moved ahead of the times. Celebrated for its diverse output from tech
house to minimal to deeper club sounds, the label's ever evolving roster of artists is like a who's who of the
contemporary scene.

As Matthias Tanzmann puts it looking back at the development of the label: 'I was still pretty young when we
started the label in 2000, so we have all grown up together for 15 years now. Moon Harbour is like my child. I am
happy many artists joined the family or became good friends and that the label has become a home for all of us.'
Next to core family members and label acts like Luna City Express, Sable Sheep, Marco Faraone, Sven Tasnadi,
Dan Drastic and the boss himself are new school talents and carefully A&Red artists like Adam Port, Re.You,
Ekkohaus, wAFF, Cuartero, Steve Lawler, DJ T., Chris Wood & Meat, Butch and Detlef.

The label has built up an exceptional canon of music that's lead to the release of no less than 100 EPs, five artist
albums and ten label compilations. It makes dance floors move hours and hours, but also sticks in the minds
much longer thanks to its real sense of invention and originality. This has been proven by big Moon Harbour hits
such as Sable Sheep's 'Upon Burning Skies', the summer hit of 2013, Santos' 'Hold Home', but also Matthias
Tanzmann's 'Bulldozer' and his remix of Marlow & Delhia's "Movin" back in 2006, which took Moon Harbour to
the next level in terms of international awareness.

Thanks to the reputation of the label, Moon Harbour label showcases are a solid addition to globally
acknowledged festivals and events such as the Miami Music Week, Sónar week in Barcelona, the Amsterdam
Dance Event and at various places in Ibiza, to name a few.

The monthly Moon Harbour Radio show, hosted by Dan Drastic, has meanwhile clocked up more than 60
episodes and is available as a podcast at iTunes and on Soundcloud and Play.fm, as well as being broadcasted
through various international radio stations such as Ibiza Sonica. It has established itself with fans as a reliable
source of new music and information from the Moon Harbour label and its artists.

To celebrate all this there will be a Moon Harbour tour around the world, which kicks off at the Sónar week in
Barcelona. Additionally there will be an anniversary compilation with exclusive tracks by Moon Harbour artists and
friends, as well as rereleases of the most successful tracks from the last 15 years.

It might have been around for 15 years then, but Moon Harbour and its ever evolving family still very much lead
from the front.

One of Mexico's most exciting artists, Hector, launches his new label VL with Vatos Locos Forever - on vinyl with 8 fresh cuts from all founding Vatos Locos crew members.

The label collaboration follows Hector's acclaimed Vatos Locos parties, which he launched at the 2015 BPM Festival, and have since toured hotspots like Off Sonar Barcelona and Club Der Visionaere Berlin.

The official VL label launch party will take place at the homecoming on the 17th January at the 2016 BPM Festival.

2015 has been one of Hector's busiest to date.
As well as a crazy touring schedule with appearances at major events worldwide, he has also shown consistency in the studio with a flow of releases and remixes for vinyl focused labels; Serkal, Moan, Overall Music, Spartacus and Mindblown.

That aside, his biggest achievement was undoubtedly conquering the residency at Marco Carola's Music On through the summer at Amnesia.

The debut vinyl release Vatos Locos Forever is spread over 2 vinyl with 8 tracks that perfectly present the versatility of this new wave of underground talent and Vatos Locos core crew members; the first sampler features David Gtronic, Randall M, Hanfry Martinez of course the label head himself.......

Over the last few years, Dutch electronic misfit VC-118A has delivered a number of killer EPs and 12" singles, each packed with sharp-edged electro, spacey techno, and industrial-strength analogue house. Shift Regsiter is his second full-length excursion - his debut, International Airlines, appeared on Lunar Disko back in 2012 - and offers an expansive and hugely atmospheric journey through his trademark sound. Naturally, there's much to admire across the 14 tracks, from the woozy, spaced-out electro-dub of "Input Mode" and the sparkling IDM of "Serial Data Transmission", to the ultra-deep throb of "Radiation Curve", and the hard-wired dancefloor bounce of the Drexciya-like "Apex".

FlexiWave is proud to present #17, a 12" EP by scottish techno don Neil Landstrumm. Under the name Die Fly Die he produces more SynthWave like tracks. 6 tracks of obscure electronic master pieces.

Evod Music returns with his 2nd vinyl release, with an innovative collaboration between Evod and Oisel, that generated an unique sound, based on hard grooves, and accurate consideration of sounds details. The fusion of artists ideas turns out to be a rare combination of sonorities, that express themselves in different forms in each track, but always render the sensations of artists and their personal vision. Long reverbs, amped grooves, sharp sounds and ambient noises are the bases on which Evod and Oisel realized this Ep.

Nonplus has been pushing the envelope for forward thinking music since its inception in 2009 and the next EP confirms this. There is little known about Hexagon Son but the raw and intricate sound of the Spiral EP suggests this is no newcomer.
From the hypnotic swirls of Spiral17, the raw robot funk of Opia to the deconstructed tape driven re-imaging of Blipworx. The Spiral EP covers all corners of the expansive world of Techno.

Impulsive and intuitive hardware house & techno from Vancouver duo minimal violence aka Ashlee Luk & Lida P. The five tracks on 'Night Gym' soundtrack urban landscapes, textured synths, heavy kicks, and dense polyrhythms come together to form the duo's own brand of outsider house.Citing influence from both minimal synth and Chicago house, Night Gym arrives hot off the heels of the duo's self titled ep on Dublin based First Second Label which closely examined the intersections that lay between punk and techno.Recorded in February/March 2016 in the duo's home studio, the instinctual nature of live work flow plays an important role in the duo's creative process. Utilizing hardware (SH-101, TR-606/505/707, Waldorf Blofeld, Juno-60, DX-21, MPC1000) in addition to sourced samples with final compositions compiled and manipulated in Ableton, Night Gym is an example of the duo's diverse interests and collaborative nature.The duo recruited visual support from Chicago based graphic designer Kevin McCaughey of NONPOROUS for the distinct imagery of Night Gym. As well he designed the poster that comes in the 12" and screen printed a limited run of long sleeve t-shirts available through Boot Boys Biz.

Following his early appearance on Earwiggle as one half of dualit, Oliver Rosemann returns with a killer ep all of his own. Creepy, niggling hooks weave their way around three surging Rosemann originals, with a hefty remix from Berlin master Sleeparchive at his brutal best...

DIMDJ of AUDIO ATLAS comes with 5 fresh tracks on MATHEMATICS. Ranging from the acid attack of "CRASH 3" to the downtempo funk of "TEMPLE OF THE MOUNTAIN" and covering lots of territory in between, there is something for every DJ here!

There is hardly any other track so closely connected to Sven Väth's twelfth Ibiza season, like "Adonis" by Alex Ridha aka Boys Noize.

This vinyl includes a free downloadcode were customers get the whole digital release for free via Facebook !!
Name is program: its Techno & its Raw. Great teamwork from Coyu (Suara, Great Stuff, Material, Skint) and Ramiro Lopez (Cecille Numbers, Sincopat). This NM2 makes you clap !

Next up to close out a hefty year of DJ-Kicks releases is one
Daniel Avery, bringing with him two exclusive new tracks and
a host of techno heavy goods. In his own words:
"To me, the most appealing thing about electronic music is that
it requires time and patience to fully enjoy. It's about becoming
lost in the repetition and the atmosphere. The warmth of the
kick drum.It's important to remember to take a breath in this world. The studio and the club can offer similar experiences in that regard but it never feel like it's running away from things. It's almost the opposite: it's in those moments where we stop that we can feel the most alive.We're constantly being told that modern generations have no attention span but it's simply not true. There is more out there to distract us but we have not changed as humans. Kids now want to go and listen to a DJ play for ten hours and become locked in their world. A mix CD, like an album, is designed to be listened to from beginning to end. It's something I still firmly believe in.

Julian Perez on fire, limited copies.

It's been three intense years now since the formerly Tel Aviv-based DJ, producer and Girl Scout-leader Magit Cacoon hooked up with the Upon.You-family back in 2012 after relocating herself to Berlin. Within this period the charismatic performer served a string of groundbreaking releases on Upon.You Records that perfectly reflect on her musical vision now fully unfolding on her first album 'Other Dimension' which is a seductive, yet playful and surely spine tingling statement of a matured and fully grown artistic mind. With 'Love Express' we're proud to unleash the first 12 taken off this stunning longplayer, featuring two original album tracks alongside thrilling reworks surely about to work dancefloors right. The original version of 'Love Express' works dancefloors uncompromisingly, serving a hard, fevering, ever evolving track style to all creatures of the night whilst Magit Cacoon's repetetive vocals and the tracks' tense overall atmosphere open large, reverberating spaces. Remixed by Marius Maier a.k.a. Re.You, widely praised for his releases on labels like Mobilee, keinerechte or Moon Harbour, the title track 'Love Express' takes a slightly different direction whilst introducing tribalistic drum structures, dramatic breakdowns and a large bassline perfectly complementing the hypnotic approach of this great rework.

Originally released on Richie Hawtin's Minus label a decade ago, Restore stands alone as Houle's very first long-player and helped to establish his penchant for the quirkier side of techno and his superlative production skills. Spread across three 12s & 11 tracks it encapsulated the dark, minimal, groove-driven sound purveyed by Hawtin and the rest of the Minus crew, while retaining a strong sense of Houle's unique character and identity. Now it's the perfect time to breath new life into an album that has stood the test of time, still utterly infectious and absorbing - a collection of music that captures an era of stripped back, yet captivating sounds. 10 years since its release, the album is getting the remix treatment and Marc has called in some of the very best in techno talent to give Restore a fresh makeover. The selection of artists who've contributed to the 'Restored' project includes heavyweights such as Joris Voorn, M.A.N.D.Y. and Popof together with additional reworks from stars of the new generation such as Danny Daze, Julian Jeweil and Harvard Bass, all giving his tracks a new lease of life. In addition, Houle himself has also stepped up to offer a new contemporary take on his own music, collaborating with vocalist Genevieve Marentette on 'Demor'. 'Restore was the beginning of it all for me. It was influenced by the sounds of Detroit and the endless parties I went to there in the 90s. It was my first album and to me it had the perfect balance of darkness, groove and electronic sounds. 10 years later, I am excited to present Restored with some modern interpretations on old tracks by some friends and colleagues who have kept the party going throughout the world."- Marc Houle
