WOLF DEM is a live electronics duo from Philadelphia, conceived in the fall of 2012 by two longtime DJs who
bonded over similar musical backgrounds and a mutual desire to explore the bleeding edges of electronic music. Using both digital and analog tools and drawing on a highly diverse range of influences, WOLF DEM grew from its original concept- "what your dreams would sound like if you fell asleep in an old warehouse where someone had left a dancehall station playing on the radio"- into a focused aesthetic, at once chaotic and hypnotic, sitting at the intersection of Caribbean music, techno, noise, and field recordings. Past releases include tracks for compilations on New Low and Great Circles (GRCR-010), as well cassette releases for Vague Audio Tapes and End Result Productions - all Philly labels
.

Big release on Cin Cin from the prolific Bwana and newcomer LOR.

The first release from Naissance Musik (NM) is a 12' vinyl from the super-group Dream Scoring (HEAR and Hakim Murphy) entitled Images of a Myth. It is comprised of 4 tracks. A myth is a legendary story that a community validates to explain part of its reality. However any member or group within the community can have his or her own version of the myth, and the myth can also evolve through time. We may all listen to the same track but this track still calls up intimate images for each and every one of us. A myth is full of adventure and mystery, it is epic and full of emotions. It can be anything from the Lost Ark to Greek Gods fighting. The aim is to fill our bodies and minds with emotions. The main idea is to tell stories like books or movies, but through musical notes & rhythm. The music makers provide the musical image, the listeners create the myth. And vice-versa.

Echonomist is back on Rotary Cocktail Rec. and presents a tribute to the deep and hypnotic
vibes of early Detroit techno but in his own way of modern and synth-driven sound design.

The seventh release in this series opens up with Dr. Shingo's remix of "Malaria" on the A-side - a beautifully crafted downtempo version which skilfully dissolves the technospirit of the original in crystal-clear electronic soul music with an epic build up. Staffan
Linzatti's remix of "Spiegelkerker" on A2 is a futuristic and minimal interpretation of the original, with a sturdy drum pattern, topped with an alluring blend of bleeps and spaced-out synth tones.The B-side kicks off with Stanislav Tolkachev's remix of "The Future Is On Fire Pt. 1" - a raw and sinister industrial monster with a bold noize overload.B2 is are mastered version of the classic club hit "The Future Is On Fire Pt. 1" by the mastermind Christian Morgenstern himself.

Path Records, old school Brooklyn based leaders in underground psychedelic techno, keep up the twelve inch pressure with a brand new EP from their label-head Reade Truth. Picking up where his recent N-Syde records left off ( Stares to Upstairs', Blessings of Luh'), the 3 track EP abounds in sci-fi techno themes while taking root in a somewhat housier rhythmic structure. The EP begins with the dark, mysterious OMM 0910' where whispered female dialogue and a powerful bassline are combined with cut up efx, trickling liquid soundscapes and solid 909 programming. A Bump of House' develops around a hypnotic bass line and intricate deep synths and strings, similar to earlier Path releases. Drop and See' dives the tempo to 110 bpms and is a mechanical industrial/synth styled number with a clever, hypnotic progression. Overall, this EP offers another vital and varied selection of tracks from Truth, who is known for providing refreshing and unique ideas throughout his career, including seminal releases on labels like Planet E, Sonic Groove and Strictly Rhythm. Limited to 350 copies, first 200 include a 12x12 graphic insert.

Lunar Disko Records returns to action with another label debut featuring Carlow house and techno duo, Tr One. Two of Ireland's finest DJ's return to production duties with a supreme house and techno EP.
The 'Chicarlow EP' features four adventurous analogue jams showcasing Tr One's love for the sound of Chicago and Detroit. Raw percussion and drum rhythms, fused with the beauty and soul of Chicago and Detroit machine music make for a classic house and techno 12".
A passionate record, from a passionate pair. Made in Chicarlow.

Inaugural release from Bokhari Records offshoot SORN, for explorations into techno, ambience & crunchy cosmic dirt. SORN takes its name from the alien race in the CS Lewis Space Trilogy.
Black Merlin is no stranger to creating music for other worlds and offers two industrial monsters for proper systems and then finishes it off with the beautiful and aptly titled Orbit.

The second release on TB Arthur's (312) label finds the mysterious artist revealing a collaborative project with Magda as Blotter Trax. The pair first encountered each other at the famous Motor City record store Record Time, when Detroit artist BMG introduced his then co-workers Magda and Derek Plaslaiko to Arthur, who was visiting the shop from Chicago. Sometime after that meeting, Magda and Arthur went into the studio and jammed together for a week, the session was recorded live on analog 1/4" tape and then three tracks were selected for release. 1A is six and a half minutes of modulated synth sounds that are psyched out and sci-fi, spooky and truly atmospheric. Full of cerebral cinematism, acid lines and ghoulish textures all add up to a truly standout track. 2A then marries dark wave pops and clicks, unsettling alien lifeforms and menacing, slo motion industrial drums into a physical and imposing groover riddled with paranoid sirens and drones. Last of all, 2B snakes and slithers its way through undulating drums, cosmic freakiness and gloopy synth sounds that are all seductive and subversive in equal measure. This, then, is a truly fascinating pairing.

repressed !! Sphera presents a great team-up from two of their biggest artists
Broombeck (Mistakes Music, Terminal M) and Siwell.

Composite Profuse, aka Valerio Lombardozzi aka Heinrich Dressel, breaks radio silence after seven years in the shadows. Cold winds curl and otherworldly atmospheres abound for Unalaska Ice Files. Arctic tundra and ice are the inspiration, frozen vistas dappled with warming light, subtle shifts and sinister shades. Teslasonic take on the title track, injecting electrical pulses and an underhanded edge. Shipwrec stalwart, Rob Witsch aka The Exaltics, gives his own icicle encrusted interpretation, one of stark percussion and expansive horizons. A welcome return to Composite Profuse. First run on coloured viny!

From the fantastical pop opera of Constellations to Acrylic's delicate euphoria, the album plunges us into a thrilling whirlpool of unexpected sonics, arrangements and themes, effortlessly picking up the vocabularies of jazz, world music, modern classical drum & bass, and colliding them together to produce symphonies of influence that are both familiar and yet totally unheard.

The journey is made complete by Lily Juniper, whose charming vocals gracefully pull Frederic's labyrinthine ideas into focus, unifying emotions like an astronomer making sense of the night sky.

Frederic Robinson's debut album 'Mixed Signals' exploded beyond the usual boundaries of the dnb scene, receiving universal praise from fans and artists in almost every other electronic music genre, from BBC6 music's Tom Middleton to Hospital Records' London Elektricity. In 2013 Frederic Robinson turned drum and bass on its head with the incredibly inventive and adventurous album, 'Mixed Signals', released on Blu Mar Ten Music.

In the three years following 'Mixed Signals', Frederic has been developing his spectacular live show, experimenting with new instruments and technologies, and, naturally, working on his stunning follow up LP, Flea Waltz.

'Flea Waltz' expands and improves on Mixed Signals, bringing a new sense of clarity, sophistication and playfulness and is unquestionably one of the finest electronic albums of 2016.

After some acclaimed productions on Unknown Precept, PRR!PRR! and Mannequin Records, we are really excited to announce 'Laugh Tool', the debut full-lenght of Maoupa Mazzocchetti, pseudonym of Florent Mazzocchetti, young and talented French producer based in Brussels.

Maoupa Mazzocchetti is finally bringing back to life the earlier days of electro-industrial, in a mixture that is very close to the late 70's/early 80s period of Fad Gadget, Throbbing Gristle, Portion Control, Cabaret Voltaire and Front 242, crossed with the more fresh and innovative deep electronic experiments of Beau Wanzer and Charles Manier. Strongly addicted to a DIY ethic, and so to a punk ideology and anticonsumerism, most of Florent's releases are recorded in his bedroom without any professional equipment, using analog synth and sequencers, modified drum machines, tape loops and a load of pedal effects.

Florent started to experiment with the rhythm since his early age. Developing a passion for the drums at the age of 10 years, soon after he was moving to rock records and guitar, which became his instrument and one of the keystones of his perception of music. Florent approach with rhythm and drums was never traditional, making him feeling more a researcher than a musician.

To an audience of contemporary electronic music consumers, who had only closely followed techno, electro and disco, the sounds of 'Laugh Tool' will appear unearthly, entirely unexpected, withering comets of strangeness. A 10 tracks album ready to change their minds...

Front Left represents a very special corner in a very special spot on this planet. Every week the front left people gather together to celebrate techno music.
Techno is what brings us together and what makes us family to one another. We rejoice listening to it, produce it, talk about it, share it and mainly dance to it.
It is incredible how one physical spot creates so such magic and human connection.
This label brings the productions of the front left people to the world.
In the first release, you will find Elad Magdasi, a heavy dancer and an emotional producer. His productions are wide-ranged and loaded with a true rave spirit, combining an acid-line treatment and his melodic point of view. In the last two years Elad's productions turned to the techno side, and now he feels it's time to finally let his music out. Gathering knowledge and figuring out his style brought him to this point. His love for raving is what keeps his mojo going and brings the inspiration to his life.
Joining the first release is Matrixxman (Charlie Duff), the talented producer who's been shaking dance floor with his hit "Protocol" for already 2 years and now releasing his debut album on Ghostly. Not surprisingly, the connection between Elad and Matrixxman was also formed on the Front Left.
The first release combines a slick collection of sounds.

Fu.me label is back with Massive release 002, "Over" by George K it's a Techno tribute the best raw cut.

WRLTD series continue with the 12-inch by Maltese producer Christopher Buhagiar. Previously known as N.d (Natch Records, Subself Records, Reaktivate), now he hides under the name of Hail Blk. With launching of his own self-titled label, he took a step forward in his creative evolution, producing raw analogic techno on the edge between harsh post-industrial grooves and deep hypnotic soundscapes. Now we can hear this kind of magic in original tracks on the A-side of the current EP. On the B-side there are 2 amazing remixes of the title track: the apocalyptic industrial anthem by Tomohiko Sagae (Rodz-Konez, Hue Helix), and the multi-layered hallucinogenic excursion by Datura Dilema (Subsist, Modularz).

Written and produced by Christopher Buhagiar.
Track B1 is remixed by Tomohiko Sagae.

Killer shit from a new Ukrainian producer.

For their tenth release, Voodoo Down has again chosen to debut a new act to add to their label roster. Andy Harper and Nic Ford have been making music together for over a decade but began releasing in earnest under the name MadderModes in 2014 on their own label, Shift Coordinate Points. They have since put out records on the labels Millions of Moments and Night Drive Music. Their handful of releases have already drawn support from top names like Move D and Nick Höppner, and it's clear that the duo's sound is only getting more refined with each successive record. The EP entitled Emprical Evidence' is a wholly cinematic piece of work, spread across four tracks that unravel slowly, unified by a theme of pumping syncopated rhythms under sprawling pad and string progressions. It's easy to get lost in the thick arrangements, and the inventive use of samples and melodic elements invite repeat listening. Equally suitable for early morning hours, ultra-deep techno sets, or quiet home listening sessions.

Two new extended Ninos Du Brasil productions marking Nico and Nicolò's first new material since 2014's much-praised Novos Mistérios album.Para Araras finds them upping their production levels to deliver an oddly compelling blend of joyous adventure theme-park music crossed with the chaos and explosive tension of mass street protests. The A-side's A Magia Do Rei displays of rolling techno variant kinked with polyrhythmic shuffles, darkside synth strokes and swooping subs, superbly rounded off by Neel's mastering work. Turn over, and Algo Ou Alguém Entre As Árvores hits a rather different groove accentuating their tribal influences in a roiling, humid swamp of churning bass, scissoring syncopation and layered voices sounding like an extended offcut from the Cannibal Holocaust OST. In the most honest sense, both sides live up to the thrill of their ecstatic, confetti-strewn live shows, while proving effectively deadly as DJ tools in the right hands.

As days go by and the wait for the new full length Pan-Pot album 'The Other' grows shorter and shorter, it's time to temper the restlessness again with two more meticulously selected tracks from the forth coming long player.

The cleverly titled 'Fist Bump From Destiny' is a story of patience with huge payoffs. At nearly 10 minutes, it's a long ride that builds slowly as persistent and hypnotizing tones circle and stalk, continually growing into the semblance of a cosmic clock. As the concept of time seems to disappear, the reward reveals itself: a fist bump from destiny.

'Operator' parallels the story of a tenacious vessel navigating a course through an impenetrable fog during the darkest shade of night. Low menacing rumbles and short sonic blasts serve as bold displays of position while a perpetually rising synth provides the momentum it employs to advance into the dark.

Ricardo Donoso brings his triptych of releases to a close with this remix EP, bringing in five diverse and respected artists to pick tracks for re-working. Yves De Mey opens proceedings with a nerve-wracking, midnight black take on 'The Sphinx' which slowly builds through layers of skittering synths, while Recondite, hot on the heels of his Hinterland album, brings 'Diagonal Environment' straight to the floor with a driving 4/4 that adds a solid backbone to proceedings.On the flip, Subtext figurehead Paul Jebanasam offers up the most abstract cut on the record withthe dark and winding 'Affirmation' remix complete with intricate compositional elements and blasting cinematics, while John Tejada offers a club-ready version of 'The Redeemer' before Andreas Tilliander's TM404 provides an acid-soaked take on 'Open Drawer, Full of Masks' .

AnD finally make their full Perc Trax debut !
Features full printed jacket
DJ feedback to follow

Berlin / Manchester noiseniks AnD finally make their full Perc Trax debut after first appearing on the label in 2014 when they served up a suitably screw-faced remix of Drax's 'Phosphene'.

Now regarded as one of the most uncompromising production outfits on the European techno scene they widen their musical vision across these four tracks without leaving behind the raw aesthetic and driving energy that has characterised their music and their live performances over the last few years.

From the kind of straight up 4/4 pounders that have made the closing slot at Electric Deluxe's Awakenings events their own, to experiments with off-kilter drums and caustic noise this EP is as good a statement of AnD's present and future as you'll hear all year.

Part 3 of the series produced by Bjoern Torwellen and Cortechs. Dark and banging techno tunes on blue & black marbled vinyl!!!

The first installment of Balans Records in 2016 brings the debut of young, talented Italian artist, Drafted, to the Dutch label.
Beautifully opening the EP, 'Frames from the Lake' fills the air with a thick suspense, reminiscent of a mystical fairytale before 'Frequency Graven' dives straight into a persistent kick and coordinated with fluttering chords. On the flip side, 'Shaded Impacted' delivers a deeper bass which introduces a progression into a climax of heavenly dissonance and relentless hi-hats. 'Vortex Empire' on the other hand features contradictory rhythms which dance atop stirring atmospheres.
Each track is able to emphasize that naturally opposites do attract as the confronting rhythms compliment any dark dance floor.

Parallel zum Album "Critical Magic" veröffentlicht das Duo Hyenaz ein Remix-Vinyl mit acht Tracks, deren

'Seven Years Adrift' marks the premiere of True Rotary Recordings as well as the comeback of Joel Alter's Jor-El moniker. While Joel Alter is renowned for creating melancholic yet peculiarly uplifting house and techno, the Jor-El alias signals a rawer side of his production. 'Seven Years Adrift' tells the story of a journey in two parts. The first part, Seven Years, is filled with the confidence and energy of a novel traveller just setting of on an adventure on the High Seas. A bold track with gusts of hard claps ripping the sails. In the second part, Adrift, the once wide-eyed traveller has just turned his now weather-beaten face to the ocean breeze, patiently waiting for the wind to shift. A more laid back and moody track, but still confident and vivacious. The energy of Seven Years and the soulfulness of Adrift embody the Jor-El signature and set the tone for releases to come. True Rotary Recordings is run by Joel Alter and Ena Cosovic. Stemming from a longstanding mutual appreciation for the combination raw techno with more seductive sounds, the label is a natural development of Joel's and Ena's musical and personal partnership. True Rotary Recordings represents their mutual musical vision and vibe that they love. Keeping it raw and genuine.

Nicola Ratti holds a rich history in the world of experimental and minimalist composition, having released music under his own name on labels such as Kning Disk, Anticipate, Preservation, Holidays, and Senufo Editions and in recent times concentrating his energy into his collaborative project 'Bellows', work which has seen the light thanks to Entr'acte Records and most recently Boomkat Editions. His latest solo work 'Pressure Loss' finds Ratti at a potential turning point in his musical career, exploring rhythm and tonality with a new vigour, in a way which embraces the fluid and consistently evolving modern world of electronic music, yet still references a history of electronics, limiting his sound palette to work only using the Serge and ARP Modular Synthesizer.

Bass, rhythm and melody, those basic ingredients of musical composition, are always present throughout the 8 compositions Ratti presents here, although it is almost like this balance was only briefly explained to someone who had never heard a conventional music piece before and was then left alone to improvise with the recipe with deep curiosity. A devastating pulse runs throughout, acting as a basin for a world of strange syncopated rhythms caught amid sonar blips, ghostly serrated hi-hats and dripping stalactites. The fluttering melodies that creep around the compositions' edges sound like a tentative and childlike version of grime's simple but visceral paranoid hooks.

There is in fact very little that is conventional about Ratti's music. There is pace and pulse but only the most oblivious or bloody minded dancer could keep moving to it. While Nicola's sonic vision occasionally encroaches on territory reminiscent of Pierre Schaeffer jamming over a old Hype Williams cd-r, there is a trove of isolatory emotion, brooding tension and even playful intent to be gleaned from the enveloping tones of 'Pressure Loss'. Ratti has here created an absorbing world of rhythmic idiosyncrasies, otherworldly tonal experiments, minimalist moments of beauty, and understated environments of menace and suspense.


Ratti says of the record - 'Pressure Loss was recorded at Worm's studio in Rotterdam during October 2014, where the creative and compositional process took place via a very limited palette of sounds and elements. The aim was to achieve a complex rhythmic ensemble whilst limiting myself to 8 low frequency oscillators through 8 modular filters patched together with few variations. This album freezes a moment within Ratti's musical research of the rhythmic possibilities achievable by using the fundamental and not complex elements of modular synthesizer systems'.

Vakant comes back with a very special release from an unknown group of creative entities. Three cuts of tribal space techno weaponry aimed at the dancefloor. We have received a message from entities lost in between the stars in the vacuum of interstellar space. The transmission was encrypted in an ancient code we were able to translated into frequencies understandable to earthlings. A psychic telegram has been sent to us, activating the body and the mind, divided into aggregations of codes that form three tracks of straight in your face, high-octane fueled, acidic tribal techno, riding on solid bass lines, trippy synths, shiny percussions and abstract ambiences.

We are proud to announce the double LP edition of echospace's phase90 project, lovingly remastered by Bazza (Abbey Road Studios/Thom Yorke) @ Alchemy Mastering, London. Features unreleased new material and beautiful silk screened metallic sleeves and art direction from the very talented Lindsay Todd of Firecracker Recordings & House Of Traps. The entire album was bounced down to 1/4" analog tape prior to remastering to preserve the integrity of the masters. This project was deeply inspired by the possessive quality of supernatural textures, field recordings and found sounds conducted at the Calvary Cemetery. There's something quite haunting in the underlying tone of these recordings, an ominous feeling not for the fainthearted. "Illuminati" celebrates the progression of the soul, a concept which stems from metempsychosis. The material on this album can be interpreted as sinistral--dark,, heavy due to the hardware and its currencies emitted by its source--the phase 90. An acidic dream of transliminality, this is the first Phase90 project to materialize in its essence, until now.

PHAT 'REKORDER' LIKE TEC-TRAX-NEW LABEL
INCL SPACED OUT EXTRAWELT REMIX

Dead Heat's music contains deep psychedlic influences in their sound. Feat. The Field & Lucy mixes.
Life and Death returns to its indie roots with this fresh sounding release from new artist, Dead Heat. The trio, formerly known as Esperanza, counts deep psychedlic influences (among others) as a significant factor in their well developed sound. Here they present two original tracks which frame two sides of an idea, a ying and yang of a raw and emotional journey across a modern alternative landscape with nods to the indie and alternative music of decades past.

Bosco is the darker of the two with a powerfully raw and driving bass that sounds like a modern day Morphine set on a Blade Runner-esque backdrop. Paired with a haunting and plaintive vocal it's an impressive force they make -- which makes the beautiful guitar and piano that come in towards the end all the more impressive in their counterpoint.

Remixing Bosco is Berghain resident and techno producer extraordinaire, Lucy. Here he takes the track to even darker and deeper territories as he creates a fine piece of well crafted techno that keeps elements of the original but twists them well to make them his own. Just what you might imagine hearing deep in the bowels of that Berlin insitution.

The Dam is the yang to Bosco's yin with a lighter more hopeful sound but with no less emotion wrapped inside. Here the piano and guitar takes the foreground earlier, to be later framed by a chugging bass and atmospheric synths that work together to create a blissful musical trip.

Taking remixing duties for The Dam is The Field, the project of talented Swedish musician Axel Willner. Mixing sonic soundscapes and classic songwriting, his take on Dead Heat's original is an impressive slice of both. A truly elegant interpretation of the original that stays with the listener long after the last note has sounded.

Naiif returns once again with two sureshots for the acid-proof dancefloor:
On side A we have Gunnar Haslam of L.i.e.s and Russion Torrent Version fame who delivers a blinding acid-journey of a rare kind with the track OVERCOMPLETE
Dial Records Labelmate and Buddy Roman Flügel serves a re-release of one of Acid Jesus finest jams: RADIUM (with Jörn Elling Wuttke).
Props go out to Steffi for playing this in a B2B set with Efdemin once! Back to the basics.

Establishing itself as a reliable source of music for the soul with 'Minilogue - Endlessness", the Stockholm based label Make a Beautiful Corpse now welcomes its new family member. This second release made by the Swedish music artist and producer KAB is a brilliant sequel with a great soundscape and truly distinct beats. KAB, an abbreviation of his name Karl-Axel Bissler, has been active since the early 90's and, back then, released on the renowned NovaMute label along with artists such as Richie Hawtin (Plastikman), Speedy J, and Luke Slater. More lately his works has been released on Mule Electronic and WIR, to mention a few who too have recognized his subtle way of expressing feelings through music. Music that can be experienced either through the little white earbuds in a crowded bus as well as in the total freedom of the open nature. It doesn't matter. As long as you are ready to open yourself up a little bit, 'Reconnect' and 'Receive and Transmit' will bring you to a wonderful place inside you. We thank KAB for bringing these beats to this world, every beat denoting another heartbeat in the life of the MABC label.

The 'Savalli' ep opens up with the title track, a tune unique in its production techniques.Jazzy pads have been sent through Oskar's walls of toy madness to create deck sample craziness, all the while being melodic and thoughtfully attractive, experimental whilst being 'house' too, something Oskar does so well.

''Peyote' shows us more of what Oskar's good at, making a timeless blend of influences and instruments work together in a dark cacophony of soulful celebration, making this track arguably the highlight of the record. Live bongos, sublime background 80's riffs and doppler effected pads create an atmosphere that's as addictive as it is uniquely moving.

DJ Skull creates a warm and groovy remix of 'Peyote', blending elements from the original to make a 'House and Techno' arrangement from the original version's musical parts, then rivaling it for sheer dance floor brilliance.

Its limited & handstamped & vinyl only ! The concept: just a drum machine and a synth - pure analogue dj-tools!

New Yorks not so secret weapon Reade Truth is back for his solo EP on n s y d e.
After the well received split EP together with release brother Mobach on nsyde008, which received quite some attention from the Technocircle

The distance from Ricardo's last field trip 'Thé au Harem d'Archimède' (PERL43) in 2004 to the present epic 5x12LP-Set is a galaxy of electronic expression through sound independent from time and pace. It is said that Funk is defined by the notes that are not being played. The space between the notes here is so vast that Funk becomes transformed into the spirit that creates unfathomable emotional adventure. The rules of dynamics between 0 and 1 shift the relation from reality to relaxation. 14 freefloat sessions are made of natural, secret ingredients from the limbic system of astro aztecs. They evolve from rituals, ending in the release of the sinuous percussion ghost from the machine who breathes out a score for easy living. Which sounds like a primordial soup aerosol of funky molecules and molluscs.

Within electronic music Sven Väth represents more than a single style. Sven embodies the music as a whole, he cherishes every facet of Techno and House. Väth has experienced the music as it emerged in the mid-eighties. From this moment on, he has helped to shape it year after year. Väth produced seminal music, his labels created and create its very own unmistakable brand of music, he ran a club and several booking agencies. Cocoon is a global identification mark for high quality parties and festivals. Those are major achievements, but they are overshadowed by Väth DJing abilities. Like no one else, Väth manages to capture the current figuration of our beloved electronic dance music in its entirety and melds it into a single, stirring story. In the summer 2016, Väth invited the global electronic music community to the Mediterranean island of Ibiza for the 17th time. Soft, friendly chords and bird chirps from Swedish producer Harald Björk woo us to the dance floor. The kittenish hookline is open to any kind of playful swing, yet it follows the tender, springy groove with the self-assuredness of a dream walker. Väth weaves Ripperton´s upright beats into the track, using suggestive, mysterious reverberations of a distant, graceful melody. With its delicacy, it captivates our attention becoming more and more decisive and insistent with every iteration. Melting the rhythms of Reggae and House together, Rhauder absorbs this very special mood of composed ease with an unique groove, and develops it further with an attentive, cautious voice of Paul St. Hilaire. Kamran Sadeghi's fascinating synth hooks develop complex, space-grabbing shapes reminding of clouds as they change their shapes within seconds. The groove being able to structure those intricacies without dwindling their richness. Alex & Digby translate this colossal sonic drama into a humorous, imaginative orchestra of rustling and chirping sounds.

* After already making a name for himself releasing on Jurg Haller's Forbidden Planet imprint as well as Melbourne's Butter Sessions, Dan White (real name Rory McPike) unveils his latest project: 2200.

* 2200's debut EP for Cult Trip sees Rory give us a true appreciation of the Dan White sound that has given him a reputation as one of Australia's finest. Lead by acid burner and title track, 'Killed By Deaf' 2200 comes with the goods unleashing the gem that is 'Outlaw'. On the flip, we're brought back to Rory's modernist techno roots with the introspective soundscape 'Technocracy' that acts as a prelude to the monster that is 'The Rig'.

Recorded in Melbourne, Australia. Mastered at Dubplates and Mastering Berlin.

For the first time ever caught on wax 2djur delivers four strikingly hypnotic tracks.
Primitive and raw yet gentle and loving, lo and behold The Great Beast.

The latest signing to Flumo is Bessiekat. Brewed in districts and clubs of Moscow, with a label of his own, Isaiah Tapes, he delivers a strong rhythm with harmonic dispositions, all painted with industrially laced colours of the hardware he uses to create the following pieces.
The two originals Hearp and Pearls share a commonality in developing vivid landscapes of overlapping analogue sonic expositions.
However, they differ in the way that the former warms you up and brings you more attentively to the speaker, while the latter throws you back on the deep, dark, early morning dancefloor.
The B-side of the record presents three different experimentations using the same colours to paint a different picture. J Albert provides a progressively monotonic remix, one that successfully develops a swinging analogue feel with lots of detail where you begin to hear the interplay of the highs and the lows. The overlapping patches of sound make the melody an emotional part of the track.
Willis Anne turns the tables around an exposing the intricacies of the rhythm, he focuses on fusing the melodies and harmonies for a wider scope of sound.....
Nicson and An Gelo's remix is disintegrated further, creating a sense of space that is eventually filled with new sounds, suggesting a thematic return to the sound of original mixes...

Phantasy are proud to present their 50th release. With two years having passed since 2013's hugely acclaimed Drone Logic, Daniel Avery returns to Phantasy to offer a much anticipated taste of his restless studio experimentation. Sensation projects Avery's distinctive feedback and engrossing modulations onto his widest canvas yet. Surges of noise link the track to artists such as Cortini and Basinski in its ability to echo purposefully across vast halls, yet proving to be just as absorbing in more intimate circumstances. Still, tough drums amid the shifting atmospherics nonetheless hint at Avery's continuing stride towards techno's more relentless facets. While Sensation floats freely, Clear continues Avery's occasional forays into unapologetically trippy realms. Revisiting an evolved but no less addictive form of the acidic psychedelia touched on throughout the duration of Drone Logic, Clear spirals seamlessly into both paranoia and euphoria.
This year Avery launched Divided Love, a 'semi-regular gathering for like-minded sonic souls' at London's fabric which has also travelled to Paris, Lisbon, LA, New York and Lyon's Nuits Sonores festival. Guests have included Rødhåd, KiNK, Factory Floor and Roman Flügel, acts who all contributed to Avery's New Energy remix collection released last winter which also featured reworks by Silent Servant, Powell, Ø (Phase) and Beyond The Wizard's Sleeve.

THE UK'S VERY OWN GEORGE FITZGERALD CONTINUES TO CEMENT HIS CASE AS ONE OF THE TOP HOUSE PRODUCERS IN THE WORLD. THE LATEST TO BE SNAGGED BY THE ECLECTIC HYPERCOLOUR LABEL, MR. FITZGERALD CONTINUES TO SPREAD HIS WINGS AND REALLY HONE IN ON HIS FUSION OF HOUSE/GARAGE, BASS HEAVY, MELODIC SOUND.

Having made his family life a priority for the last three years, Picotto was nonetheless busy in the studio, adding to his beyond-extensive catalogue of releases and preparing us for a new salvo of pumping techno, jacking tech-house and quintessential club material.
From Heart To Techno, Picotto's ninth studio album features a number of collaborations with regular partners in crime Riccardo Ferri and Devid, who both throw in extra measures of Italian flair to the mix...
This the second of three vinyl samplers kicks off with the twisted vocal-led Morning Time, and the B side see's the minimalistic electric bursts of My Friend Tesla.
From Heart To Techno is an album by a man who has dedicated his life to a scene, who has spent an incredible number of years perfecting his trade and who knows where the roots of the sound lie. Often deep, sometimes heavy, always euphoric and groovy, Mauro Picotto's music works on many levels and transcends musical boundaries. With From Heart To Techno, Mauro Picotto shows us why he remains a charismatic pillar and an influential figure of dance music..

Blueprint heads across the Atlantic for the next release as Kero (who made his first appearance on the label with a remix of James Ruskin's 'Transfer' in 2006) joins forces with Gotshell for the 'Perindsor EP'.

With over 30 releases on some of electronic music's most celebrated and innovative labels such as Bpitch, Warp, Ghostly, Shitkatapult and Touchin' Bass as well as his own critically acclaimed Detroit Underground Records and Kerohand (with Kelli Hand), Kero has established a reputation for unrepentantly brash, yet cultivated compositions.

Gotshell meanwhile, is a mysterious deep sound producer, formed in the dark and cold nights of Colombia's Pereira. Delivering simple, straightforward, stripped down, cavernous techno without hype or fanfare, Gotshell has appeared on labels including Planet Rhythm, Nachtstrom Schallplatten and Kero's Detroit Underground.

Combining their talents for Blueprint 20th anniversary year, we're given four tracks of dark, thoughtful electronics from the sweeping soundscapes and deep beats of 'Samaria District I' to the looping sonics of 'Operation'; and from the hushed experimental tones of 'Ex Adenoma Pleomorfico' to the EP's dense and dubby closer, 'Perindsor'.

A promo video with visuals by the denial.of.service captures the tone of this artistic and articulate release.

Rous comes from Argentina. Currently living in Mendoza, the young and talented musician, producer and wine sommelier makes his mark as a DJ, live performer and restaurateur.
His music has very confident brush strokes of synthesizer magic over titillating classic analogue sounding drums. This is the sound palette with which he takes us into the raw and intense landscapes of a snowy Patagonian lake island and it's surroundings- the place where he spent a month with no communications or technology, thinking about the enormous and immersive ascendant energy from the Los Andes mountains.
In Rous' own words, "this recording expresses my intensity while growing up, my experience with masters, the natural destinies that the mountain put in front of us and the ecstasy we feel at the parties with our South American family and friends."
Once back home, he brought down the concept into an EP called "La Púrpura del Ocaso" (The Purple of Sunset) and through pounding rhythms and the constant unfolding of simple and powerful synthesizer lines, he shows us the raw power of snow, fire, water and air.
"The Purple of Sunset is born from my experience in and with Mendoza, where I've lived for four years. It starts with the learning process of strategy and alchemy behind wine; the perseverance and transcendence needed to create a product that communicates with the world. Purple is the color of wine and the sunset is the moment where the artist closes his eyes from thinking, with a glass of wine in his hand after a long day of work."

VSA records debuts with the two label founders - Vinyl Speed Adjust - forefronting two monster acid cuts - The A side "Lost and Found", makes due with some very intriguing bassline rhythms, melodies, vocal chants and breaky hi-hat patterns whilst the B side - "Black and White", seemingly continues the idea, retaining the specific Roland sound, but in a much more industrial techno fashion, with a more obvious kick drum and looped out rhythms. Vinyl only.

Label boss Daniel Boon returns to Berlin's mighty Neuhain with another flaming 2-tracker EP including also remixes by 2 brilliant minds, DeKai and David Temessi.
Expect nothing less than high-octane techno, ready to melt every dance floor

Komarken Electronics makes his debut on brokntoys with Expanded Consciousness. With previous releases under his belt on Solar One & Stilleben, for brokntoys he serves up shimmering neo electro with Early Mornings following up with the fidgety Bubble Theory. On the flip, the title track runs deep into ether before Delta Funktionen steps up with a heavy remix of Early Mornings to close proceedings.

Dark late night groovers by the Odopt bad boys, straight out the kitchen of Bar Simachev. "Horrungruang" is simply a killer track.

That night, we answered a regular call, something about crazy loud noises coming out from a basement. While driving to the area all I could think when I first heard the bass stomping was: man, whatever, this doesn't even sound like music to me.' And we were at least a 100 meter away from the source of the sound. When we got there, after knocking several times on the door, we decided we had more than enough probable causes to bust in. After a warning, we kicked the door open. What we saw inside was a five feet tall woman jumping around in that cacophony. We screamed and she ignored us, my colleague then panicked and shot her with his Taser several times - she then simply pulled the probes out of her body shouting MOMENTS MOMENTS - and continued to jump around..

Axkan delivers a soundscape encompassed in dark, hypnotic noise. Hailing from Los Angeles, his style is very unique and sought after, making its way onto labels such as; The Cast Project, Rheostatus, SecreTechno, Switch Off, From 0-1 and GBB to name a few. We are proud to feature Axkan on our fifth vinyl release including remixes from Luis Flores and Anthony Jimenez. You will find a wide range of elements ranging from experimental modular to dark atmospheres creating a nice blend of dance floor and thought provoking rhythms.

Es ist so weit! Nach zwei zunehmend erfolgreichen Jahren für Second State ist es wieder an der Zeit einen Teil der Label-Family für unser alljährliches HUB-Release zusammenzubringen. Dieses Mal übernimmt Clint Stewart das Ruder und er begibt sich zusammen mit The Reason Y, Michael Klein, Stephan Hinz und Pan-Pot auf eine Reise 'into cosmic spaces', so wie der Amerikaner es gerne und stets treffend formulieren würde. Zudem starten wir mit HUB Two unsere alljährliche Zusammenarbeit mit verschiedenen Künstlern zur Gestaltung exklusiver Cover-Artworks unserer HUB-Releases. Das Cover für HUB Two hat der portugiesische Künstler Luio Onassis gestaltet.

Delroy Edwards has come a long way. 2012 marked his Introduction into the world of Dance Music via Ron Morelli's Imprint LIES. After offering up essential dance floor singles like '4 Club Use Only' and 'Heart and Soul' Edwards' established himself as a producer with a unique touch and style. With a growing desire to control his own output and make a more significant statement, Delroy set off to start his own imprint, L.A. CLUB RESOURCE.
.
Creatively directing his own imprint became a platform for him and over the course of two years L.A.C.R. created one of the most palpable musical experiences in the field. The label released music in a range of styles from a span of generations, the only constant was the high output and stellar art direction. Many releases produced by the label head himself, Delroy's production were lauded for their piercing simplicity, grace and attitude.

In his first LP for the label, Edwards' has arranged a sincerely personal moment. The 30-track effort marks a special moment in his growth blending current interests in punk and electronics into an outsider narrative like no other. From Devo to J Dilla the influences across the record are subtle but respectful. Regardless of influence, Hanging at the Beach feels unequivocally new. Experiencing the LP for the first time speaks to the Californian
experience in its full range. Certain moments call to the beaches of Monterey while others speak to the sleeze that lines Hollywood Blvd. Edwards doesn't distance himself from the production style that has defined him and the label, but this effort is a long
playing collection, a directed, new moment for the
prolific producer.

EXP006 stamps the return of label head EJECA with a three track EP and is both the label and the artist's most driving release to date.

Litmus EP is a three track all encompassing selection that would all fit into a peak big room slot.

PH1, Ascension and TB5AM cover the acidic, minimal and melodic areas of techno resulting in a varied release where each track can deliver at different times of the night.

Killer EP from 1993 from Detroit pioneers Octave One!
All 3 wonderful deep tracks firmly steeped in motor city history.

Huge repress of 'The Truth Of Self Evidence' on KMS from 1988. Detroit techo gold that samples Martin Luther King. All b sides included and re mastered for 2014.

After a short hiatus following their modular-only, desert recorded last album 'Whorl', during which SMD's James Ford found himself on production duties for everyone and their dog, SMD are back with bunch of techno cuts on their own Delicacies label.
Over a couple of months in Jas Shaw's newly re-located synth-dense studio in leafy Kent, which saw SMD once again experiment with live jams as the basis for their production, they've pulled together a selection of eight tracks for release as a series of four singles over the coming months.
First up is the double header of 'Staring at all this handle' and 'Sky on the floor' - a hefty statement of intent, harking back to their more austere earlier Delicacies work. In the same vein, remix duties come from ear-battering mainstays Perc and Volte-Face, both delivering uncompromising 'take no prisoners' approaches to the originals. SMD have thrown in their own dub mix of 'Sky on the floor' for good measure.
SMD fans will note that the earlier naming convention of Delicacies has fallen by the wayside - for the simple reason that we've pretty much run out of weird and wonderful food stuffs to steal names from. Instead, a semi-random automated process has been used to create the track names.

Seminal acid house from 1986! Containing members of Virgo this seminal release has been re mastered from original DAT's for 2014 and released in original Trax Red labels. Released in conjunction with Trax / Harmless.

Seth Troxler's Play It Say It label welcomes Phil Moffa as The Butcha for an excellentnew EP entitled "202 Future". Featuring three killer tracks, it is yet another club readyoffering from this most on point label.
Phil Moffa, as well as being a fine solo artist, engineer and studio owner who hasworked on labels like The Corner, Plan B Recordings and Sublevel Sounds, alsoreleases on Hypercolour with boss man Seth. He has also collaborated with underground techno heroes like DJ Spider and Anthony Parasole as well as The
Martinez Brothers whom he paired up with on the Tuskegee label last year. As such he knows a thing or two about making dance floors move. His sound is robust and freaky, functional yet full of character, and this EP proves that once again.
Arresting opener 'More Bugged Out Please' is a massive cut with rolling rubber drums and wild acid lines spraying about up top. Clever filters open and close to add scale and dynamism and coarse claps help drive things along, meaning that dancers will be swept off their feet in the process.
Then comes the brilliantly absorbing titular track, '202 Future.' This one is much deeper and darker, more subdued but just as impactful. Paranoid sirens and alarms go off above slow, snaking, dirty and dark sub bass. Percussion grows in stature and becomes a focal point and then acid lines and spooky riffs join the fray to make this a truly tripped out and late night monster.
Last but not least, 'Acid In The 1st Degree' ups the ante with a shuffling marriage between crisp metal hits that blow in a stiff breeze above buried deep kicks. The effect is uplifting and unsettling, and once a prickly 202 line rips up the track, it's another certified club anthem that ebbs and flows with real class.

Special edition 12' with remixes of The Knife's 'Stay Out Here' and 'Ready To Lose'. The Knife have called upon inimitable selector and producer Tama Sumo, who has remixed 'Ready To Lose' under the guise of Tarantism. R&S Records' Paula Temple has provided two versions of 'Stay Out Here', with the track also being remixed by French techno producer Kane Roth.

Kreidler's Detlef Weinrich digs back into his solo archives and furnishes the excellent Antinote Records with a series worth of unreleased jams. BIG TIP! You can trail away with it. It is easy to enter, but hard to drop out. Tolouse Low Trax just needs an MPC, a small Synthesizer set up and some effects to create subliminal hypnotic music trips, driven by dark synthlines and drunken shuffled patterns. The primitiveness in my music is linked to something simple, and that don't have to be obligatory minimal. For me it is enough to dance rough around the core. Music you don't shape till the end contains of a moment of beauty. A veil of secrecy. I work very simply. I rather reduce my possibilities in ompass. Limitations offer lots of liberties.' He reveals about his work ethic. Even if his music sounds darker then any ever experienced night, he mostly produces it in the morning in his highly inspirational studio home. During the dark times of the day Tolouse Low Trax mostly performs live around the globe. Or hangs out in his second home: the Salon Des Amateurs club bar in Dusseldorf, which he once founded and where he held until today two weekly DJ residencies. The moments and atmospheres he inhales during these lightless moments are mirrored in his shadowy music, about which he also confesses: My art is more a cinematic, literally idea of a large to explore Megacity. This is one of the pictures I would link to my music.' On ' part one he now offers five sounding visions about that Megacity'. They listen to mysterious names like Hidden Flat' or Studies in Drama'. They are nervous. They have ephemeral pieces of dub, Industrial, wave or Italian library music. And at times strangealienated voice samples dance within his highly addictive arrangements. Words can't express their magic. But one thing is fore sure: his hypnotic dance-not-dance tracks do not only illuminate so-called freaks!

Taken from the monster compilation "Acid Rain" compiled by UK house pioneer Terry Farley we have Acid Rain sampler #1, A carefully curated selection of choice cuts spanning the many styles of Chicago's Acid House movement.

Sampler #1 is chock full of classic tracks and rarities that the seasoned House head and the newcomer will want to have in their record collection, DJ Pierre's fierce "Box Energy", Laurent X's "Drowning In A Sea Of House" & his anthemic "Machines" are all featured alongside Ralphi Rosario's 1988 cult classic "In The Night".

A truly essential selection!

All tracks have been fully re-mastered, re-pressed and compiled in conjunction with Harmless/Demon Records.

Hello listeners, blunt heads, fly ladies and prisoners..... This is the future of the music industry. Not the music, just the idea of the artists writing their own PR faffle. Next year I'll probably have to carry my own bags on tour too.......tragic. I have had a few years of working on other projects and shuffling about in loose trousers, but now I feel the time has come to release some more music for feet and floors. What I should say is that every time I tried to write techno/house/moonbeat in the last couple of years, everything came out as shitty tech-house.....The brain was just in an alternate mode, a mode for classical music and melody, but now it seems to have come back to techno so I here present some of its recent outpourings. It belched out Polka the first night I got back to Scotland, having left London. BabaYaga is named after a sinister-as-hell witch from a Russian story book we had as kids (check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baba_Yaga) clearly designed to traumatise young minds. My traumatised mind made this tune, so it has come full circle. Mu is slower, for lazy, emotional dancers. I hope you will enjoy them and the excellent Sons of Tiki mix of Polka that accompanies them..... Send all hate mail to Vakant, I don't read it. Alex

new great record on vakant!!!

Vinyl Box-Set limited to 500 copies + includes the Compilation on CD

Cocoon Recordings presents: P! Who would have thought of this at the beginning of this compilation series It's letter P everybody, which means this is one of the longest running techno compilation series around! Loaded with power and purity the latest edition of our series offers you a great selection of freaking crazy and kicking techno tunes. Our last compilations followed the basic concept of good club nights with an introduction part, the peak time and some cool downs and even after hour sounds. In contrast to this we open the clubdoor with P right from the start, no time for easy chit chat and soft entries - we want to move our feet and heads right from the beginning and here we are: Mirko Loko is in control for the beginning. His track Artificiel' is energetic, crazy and minimalistic at the same time. With destroyed digital sound fragments, yet consistently demanding, Mirko Loko opens the door and welcomes you to the club of P! Wouter de Moor follows with his Tesla Coil' - a speedy acid tune that has only one message: Freak out! With the pace, the simple structure and those crazy hihats - Tesla Coil' sounds almost like an old steam locomotive. The sounds hiss and the beat rolls and the clubtrain won't stop! Einzelkind & Robin Scholz present their Rhythm Factory' project next and their mutual work n.2guts . Another kickin' acid-tune, full of power with a energy loaded forward boost. Slightly slower than Wouter de Moor but certainly with a similar vibe the two tunes act as a perfect double-pack!

Cute Heels is the solo project of Bogota´ born, experimental producer Victor Lenis. Since the early 2000's Lenis has been working on a myriad of electronic projects, including the management of the labels Black Leather Records and Romance Moderne, in his current home of Brussels. Drawing on the influences of the radical punk scene that surrounded him growing up in Columbia while nurturing his passion for synthesizers and drum machines, Lenis developed the broody, gloomy brand of electro-techno that is Cute Heels. Deemed by Juan Atkins as ''the new blood and spirit for the next step in techno music'' Cute Heels has released various digital only releases over the years, as well as his first vinyl release, an EP on Gooiland Elektro. His debut album Spiritual, rides the line between cold electro-techno and left field electronic body music. Inspired by equal parts Liaisons Dangereuses and Drexciya, Spiritual takes the listener on a journey over 8 tracks and 40 minutes of music. Listening to "Spiritual" you can see why. The songs on this full length reveal a sublime influence from Detroit techno, early Chicago house and new wave; advanced electronics for the dance floor, pumping and sophisticated. The album was recorded and mixed by Victor at Sensorium Studio in Zagreb, Croatia in November 2013. Each song has been mastered for vinyl at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley by George Horn. Each LP is packaged in a custom-made jacket by our in-house designer Eloise Leigh and incorporates the geometry of analog synthesizers and celestial rose patterns. 

The first record on New York Trax Imports is a split EP by the Stockholm-based artist Dawid Dahl and Another Alias, a seasoned techno producer from Ireland. Dawid Dahl's 'Krig' and 'Gehenna' are two beautiful, yet intense and dark tracks. They are accompanied by 'Craic Fiend', a ruthless face melter combining fast tempo, distortion and a mind-blowing off-beat breakdown.

Chapter IV in the Wasteland series...

A second utterance emerges from the tomb of DJ ICE TITS! Who was this ancient priest of Memphis whose sarcophagus lies entombed within the Metaphasic Pyramid, inscribed with the Analogue Hieroglyph These five recently discovered FM transmissions from the underworld, entitled "Songs about Myrtle Avenue," may contain the key to this mystery.

J. Wiltshire follows up 2013's Hypercolour single, 'How It Is' with an offering that's quite a leap from his seductive deep house sound, gracing us with a hugely mature sounding slice of brooding electro body popping bizzness!

In its Original Mix, 'False Awakening' opens with delicate pizzicato synth plucks over a deadly electro-tinged beat that gets warped and crushed as dense sweeping strings and digital glitches come tumbling down on the unfolding arrangement. Like a neo-classical Underground Resistance, a funky as you like bass-line heralds in a discordant and haunting vocal line, which really ramps up the melancholic mood. All the while, the futuristic beat really propels this track along at an urgent pace. On his 'Clubby Tool Mix', Wiltshire digs into the mechanics of the track, slapping resonators on the drums and further manipulating the sound with some clever studio trickery.

Tuff City Kids, AKA Gerd Janson and Phillip Lauer, come fresh from singles on Permanent Vacation and remixes for Numbers, Crème Organisation and Visionquest with their take on 'False Awakening'. TCK come out guns a blazing with a heavy kick and abrasive hats, looping a fragment on the vocal whilst the stabby bass and 909 hats set the heady vibe here. A growling synth line unfurls and the remix pounds hard and heavy, a little melodic organ line its only respite from the pummeling groove. The duo throw in a beats mix, the 'Dub Copy', just like the old days, as a little tool to keep us all happy, job done!

Ground Loop's 'Ampersand (i)' is a release exploring contemporary Techno by some of Techno's best contemporaries. The original fuses 'old school' ideals with modern production techniques to create a floor friendly, groove oriented track that manages to maintain a sense of purpose and emotion.

On remix duties are Lucy (Stroboscopic Artefacts) who produces a seminal remix taking on the atmospherics of the original and building upon that to create a space and tension we have all come to know and love of his productions. Samuli Kemppi (Ostgut Ton, Mote-Evolver) who delivers a deep slice of dubby Detroit influenced funk, perfect for that 'back room set' and once again ignites the sound of that 'Transatlantic' relationship. The final remix comes from Advanced Human (aka. DJ Hi-Shock), who instead focuses on the energy and emotion of the original and twists it into peak time material.

Already spun and fully supported by Luke Slater, James Ruskin, Donor/Truss, Damon Wild, Tommy Four Seven, Audio Injection, Markus Suckut, Chris Finke, Go Hiyama or Raiz to name a few.

Gynoid's latest outing is a collection of cold, tonal techno courtesy of Australia's Ground Loop. Citizen One tunnels deep into haunting atmosphere, while Citizen Two hits a harder and darker note.

On the remixes, Giorgio Gigli turns in a hypnotic march of a remix, while Fanon Flowers' version strips it down to drums and steel. Put them all together and you have the soundtrack for a quiet apocalypse.

'Rosenhan Experiment' (named after David Rosenhan's famous study to determine the validity of psychiatric diagnosis, published in 1973 under the title 'On being sane in insane places') takes us on another electro trip into the human mind with Paris The Black FU from Detroit Grand Pubahs once again making an appearance, on the track 'Losquato'.

The EP opens with the wonderfully shimmering 'Wenn' before Luxus Varta makes striking use of his background as a drummer on 'Lizzy'. 'Losquato' is a playful addition with stripped back rhythms under Paris' story telling that bemoans a man's work frustrations and resulting mental state ('I gave up therapy about a month ago. My therapist jumped out of a window'), while closer 'Tempsun' is almost melancholy in its measured minimalism.

Recommended for lovers of Drexciya and Dopplereffekt.

There is a new label on the horizon and it's first imprint is all about warm heavy detroit influenced deep techno. Another Earth combines 2 acts together in a Split EP series who compliment each others sound. The A-side hosts the renowned US based producer, Myles Serge (MS - RE(FORM)), who, for these 2 tracks, let his machines run crazy beat patterns in a old school detroit techno vibe. The B-side features Dutch based duo Duijn and Douglas (Esther Duijn and Steady Douglas). Their stripped warm heavy padded deep techno influenced tracks are perfect for creating some heat on the dance floor and the B2, Stray, is driven by Berenice van Leer's lush intense voice.

Panorama Channel is a project of two friends from Russia with the same taste and with love of good music. After a long solo career, the guys are united for the realization of common ideas. Now they create an emo- tional electronic music with nostalgia for the past and desire for something new. Coming with a dreamy remix from Elijah Simmons, a rare breed of talent that has, for years, been working towards perfecting his art, and is now about to enter the limelight. His track Otavio's Dream, has been making waves as one of the biggest underground hits in Ibiza this summer, getting picked up by the inter- national duo Blond:ish to exclusively feature on the first ever compilation of Flying Circus; the lovechild of Audiofly. He also recently released Pisces on Kompakt.

Shifted's debut for Hospital Productions following an album for sublabel Bed Of Nails in 2013.

Integrating his more searching work as Alexander Lewis and his increasingly introspective work as Shifted while eloquently addressing his past, 'Appropriation Stories' is a comprehensive statement of intent and Brewer's finest, most mature work to-date.

Guy Alexander Brewer is involved in several projects taking in techno, noise and experimental electronics overlaying a once-hidden past in drum'n'bass. Having shunned his previous work in Commix, more recently Brewer has learned to look back, even making sideways stabs into breakbeat territory with his Covered in Sand alias. The process grows more intricate and subtle on his new album for the Hospital Productions imprint helmed by Dominick Fernow (aka Prurient, Vatican Shadow, et al.). Here rigorous processing and studio treatments transform classic breaks into deeply hidden components that add new layers of character to his highly-developed techno sound.

At first presenting itself as a dense wall of sound underpinned by an incessant pulse, 'Appropriation Stories' at length reveals itself to be a much more complex work. In place of the stark minimalism, razor-sharp digital textures and smeared analogue surfaces of his previous output, we are instead given layered tracks whose intricate mixes reveal themselves gradually over time. For long stretches - opener 'This Passage', 'For Closure', 'In Respect of Tactics' - the rhythm steps back from insistent to implied , further exposing the careful arrangements of pure sound.

As his origins in purist techno grow ever-more distant, Shifted's sound has progressed from digital clarity to the murky-but-hard middle ground of his sophomore full length 'Under a Single Banner' (on Hospital Production subsidiary Bed of Nails) and through a clear evolution on Brewer's own Avian imprint.

Darkness breeds darkness. Since the beginning of time, the secret quest has always been how to simulate this blackness. VENT explores the dark side of things, guided by the fearless Stephanie Sykes lighting the way. A complimentary reinterpretation from Dasha Rush is shedding new light on Stephanie's visions. With this installment, VENT is more than pleased to display a different take on techno, both deeply atmospheric and danceable.

The 3rd release completes a series by Tapirus aka Charlton featuring a remix by Mark Forshaw, part of the Phantom Planet Outlaws.

As an encore to the mesmerizing CCC: BB: BBB: JJ release on Kontra-Musik, Tyler Friedman brings out his version of what he thinks "DJ techno tools" are. This is music for the dancefloor alright, but it's a dancefloor from a strange and slightly uncanny dream. Tyler explores the sonic field between the chillingly precise and the vivaciously warped - the disciplined and the untamed. He thrives in that space, creating an eerie microcosmos of evolving harmonies and rhythms that seem to have lives of their own - like music coming out from a haunted clockwork. A suiting apparatus for a label unconcerned with the conventions of time.

Livity Sound present the long awaited return of Asusu.

* Since his last outing for the label he has launched his own imprint, Impasse, so far releasing two extended 12's. His new ambient live set debuted live on the Boiler Room in May.

*This new 12' features two unique and finely tuned mesmeric club tracks upholding Asusu's reputation as a unique voice in British dance music.

Serving up their next techno morsel on both vinyl and digitally, !Organism turn to Bodyscrub for a hot new single that comes complete with remixes from Rocco Caine, Manic Brothers and Leghau.

Bodyscrub is an Italian who has been into electronic music since the nineties, releasing on Phobiq, Driving Forces Recordings, MB Elektronics, 1605 and many others, as well as being a regular on !Organism.

In original form, 'Insane and Trapped' is a no messing techno stomper with hard-hitting kicks, big rattling chords and lots of tumultuous synth action that adds texture and tension to the track. It's a peak time, floor-slaying monster that will blow heads clean off and comes with three great remixes.

German electro and techno talent Rocco Caine goes first. The four-deck wizard chops the track up into something much more broken beat and lumpy. It rocks back and forth with spooky ambiance far off in the distance. Eventually some heavyweight dub techno chords join the party and add yet more depth and scale to the already arresting track.

Next up, Mats and Niclas Ljusberg—together known as Sweden's Manic Brothers—have seen their driving, house-tinged techno productions on Drumcode, Soma and Sleaze wind up on the hard drives of DJs like Adam Beyer, Carl Cox, Sven Väth and Nicole Moudaber. They only arrived in 2012 but on the evidence of this spritely, future sounding remix have lots to offer. It's an engaging affair with a moody atmosphere pervading a stripped back and serious groove.

Finally, Frenchman Leghau of respected labels like Trapez, Analytictrail and Len Faki's imprint, Figure, then offers his version. It's a deep, rolling and hypnotic affair that gets into your brain and stays there for the duration.

Once again here !Organism are leading the techno world from the very front.

Hailing from Minneapolis, a small city that takes techno seriously, Jacktone label head is currently operating from Berlin. 4 tracks of house-friendly techno that apply a "lo-fi, scrappy aesthetic' to bigger-style, polished tracks".

Makaton makes his Blueprint debut with a three-track EP, 'Nothing Can Be Held In Our Hands For Long'.
Steve Bailey aka Makaton, has been releasing seminal, experimental and cutting-edge techno music since 1998 with all but three of his releases coming through his own Rodz-Konez operation, a label that's also released music by Regis, Inigo Kennedy, Female, The 65D Mavericks and Fumiya Tanaka. Makaton has also released two records on Token and one on RSB.
His exhilarating live set has also seen him support the techno scene across the UK, Europe and in the US.
'4 Point Suspension' conveys an immediate punch, with crunching beats and an unremitting delivery, while the fractured 'Six Feet Under In Love' stutters and sparkles, before the dark and whirling dimensions of 'Cold Black Heart'.
Underground and uncompromising to the core; recalcitrant.
