Kicking off with the first track "Lose Yourself", Viken Arman mixes different cultural
influences to an exciting and mysterious intro of the 3 track EP. Guitars rise into
unknown spaces of deep bass and hidden complexity of beatstructures.

The second track, "Red", lead by wavy-delayed chords and soft vocals spreads the
EP into a more percussional quiet way, supported by sitar and slight bass.

Lastly, Maher Daniel abducts "Red", the rhythmical trip, straight back to the dark
clubroots. Alternately combining the tight instrumentally base of Viken Arman and his
own terms of reference.

Jamal Moss, aka Hieroglyphic Being, returns for a new second album on Soul Jazz Records, after last year's debut 'The Acid Documents', this time under the name Africans with Mainframes.
Hieroglyphic Being and fellow Chicago producer Noleian Reusse have been releasing music under the name Africans with Mainframes for over 15 years now, ever since their debut on Hieroglyphic Being's own Mathematics Recordings label in 2005. 'K.M.T.' is the debut album from the group, a collage of apocalyptic Chicago acid meets industrial and transcendental post-house machine funk. Both intense and unique, the album of forward-thinking, experimental, boundary-pushing Afro-futurist electronic music shows why Hieroglyphic Being is regarded as one of the most serious purveyors of experimental black music today. You can't stop the prophet!
Born and based in Chicago, Moss's music embodies two of the cultural foundation blocks of the city's musical lineage, that of Chicago's original Acid House sound (c. 1986), that of Frankie Knuckles, Phuture, Marshall Jefferson et al, alongside a rigorous experimental sound searching that taps into the cosmic musical lineage of pioneering artist Sun Ra whose Arkestra landed and was based in the city from 1946-61.
Available as both a very limited 1000 double-LP and 1000- tip-on hard Japanese card style CD, including cover art by Paolo Parisi (the Italian designer of John Coltrane graphic novel and our own Acid & Mysterons releases).

New 12 by highly regarded DJ Nervoso. From Principe -

"We can't stress enough the importance of finally releasing an EP by scene originator DJ Nervoso. This release features newer tracks alongside unreleased older (we should really say Classic) ones, demonstrating the level of perfection he attained early on. Nervoso is the main reason why DJ Marfox, DJ Firmeza and many others started deejaying and producing, hooked on his fiery DJ sets since they were barely in their teens, around 2001-2002.

He is well known for a bare bones approach to rhythm, working the basic hypnotic feel of pounding drums to mesmerizing effect, in his permanent quest to make people move. His sound is meant to unite, not divide, the dance floor. Even before he started producing, Nervoso was quick to perceive that some people were alienated in parties where Angolan kuduro got played, for the simple reason they didn't command the specific moves associated with the style or its variations. So his production focused on adapting the beats of this much-loved dance music, changing the codes for a more inclusive experience. Some call it techno"

London label EarToGround's final release of 2014 ' Raw Material' sees another new act joining the label as they welcome on board 'Dualit'.

This German duo are otherwise known as Oliver Rosemann from Leipzig and MasCon from Frelberg. Recently they have released on such prolific labels as CLR, Earwiggle and Fifth Wall Records.

This release features six tracks, being four originals backed by two centralised locked grooves with full front and back artwork on the sleeve. Audio selected for this release gives a good over all presentation of Dualit's varied, deep and raw dynamic range of Techno.

Gentlemen, this is a leap year, therefore it is a year and a day since our last annual meeting.' - The Hell Club, Glasgow.

Helena Hauff - Lovely stuff! Really like the first song, beautiful!

In an era where Techno music is akin to Pop, and likes on social networks determine your value as an artist, the DIY approach is the only way forward. I felt the necessity to express myself in the way I wanted, by being my own filter.

Oaks Is the platform where Hector Oaks will release his most personal works. Cut on 45 and with one track per side, this record has been made for DJing.

This is Feline, Suara's vinyl only sub-label. A place where Coyu pays tribute to the black gold releasing underground local talent.
House or techno, techno and house, always raw, always pure. Visually is the feline elegance, reflected in the beauty of the motion and the plasticity of its own forms, like a cheetah floating in the Savannah.
Counterpoint to Suara, Feline goes deeper searching for the purity of the graphic concept and the honesty of the message.
Our second release see's Kresy & Skygaze present four techno tracks that are set to ignite dancefloors worldwide over the coming summer months..
Vinyl Only Release..

Given the underground acclaim heaped on Marie Davidson's previous albums - ultra-stylish affairs that blend elements of minimal wave, dark Italo-disco, off-kilter electro and moody ambient - it's little surprise to see her popping up on Minimal Wave offshoot Cititrax. The album's nine tracks are largely sharp, rough and fuzzy, with sparse-but-dense drum machines rhythms underpinning bouncy, delay-laden synth lines, thrusting electronics and Davidson's sleazy, spoken word vocals. It's an attractive combination that guarantees thrills throughout, from the almost claustrophobic throb of "Denial", to the mutant electrofunk bounce of "Good Vibes".

Oliver Ho's first solo record under his own name in 10 years, and a return to his origins on Blueprint Records, his last record on the label was in 2002

Ovatow drops 3 extremely deep journeys into the fog of endless re-verb and delay applications. 'Flame' and 'A Thought' are 2 electro-techno tracks that are both build on randomly step-sequenced square bass lines, raiser sharp snares and dubbed out melodies drowned in layers of breathing dusty tape delays. 'Visitation Dub III' is a different version of an Ovatow track, earlier released as part of the 'Viewpoints Chapter One' compilation, but this time stripped down to the core bass line, reminiscing BC's 'Presence'. The release is dedicated to the loss of South Rotterdam based DJ Juvenile Jay who played an important roll in the early DJ career of Frustrated Funk's head honcho Klen, the man behind the Ovatow moniker. Very much recommended!

After the overwhelming reactions on the Duo Tone EP - their debut together for Music Man - it won't come as a surprise that Petar Dundov and Gregor Tresher got back in the studio together for more! Their sound fits amazingly well together! The result is again two blinding melodic techno tracks that will definitely appeal to fans of both of them. Comes as marbled coloured 10" vinyl!!

London born Scuba AKA Paul Rose's career has been intrinsically linked to Hotflush Recordings, the label he set up in 2003. Coming back full circle to his formative mid-90s days of following Colin Faver and Jeff Mills, Rose's fabric appearances have evolved over the years from bass music Fridays to the house and techno of Saturday nights.
Rose's ability here to select, sequence and stitch together 42 tracks over 75 minutes is remarkable. Artists as diverse as Pearson Sound and Patrick Cowley, Donato Dozzy and Midland all get called upon but nothing ever gets in the way of a dark, seductive atmosphere. It means that in amongst the bumping lo-fi techno and cavernous bass sounds, there is a palpable sense of being lost in the rave

When the duo Skudge started out in late 2009 with their first release on Alphahouse, followed by a string of underground hits on their own label Skudge Records, little did they know that they would be in the forefront of the Stockholm sound of the dawning 2010's. First Edition Limited to 500 Copies
The complex rhythm textures combined by a echoing audial lightness that still runs unparalleled, paired with sub intense quick basslines and swirling percussion has been the trademark. This updated take on the techno and house crossover of today got appreciated and caught the attention of a full spectrum of artists.

With a tight release schedule, 2010 alone saw 6 releases from the Skudge hub. Culminating in 2011 with the release of 'Phantom', the full length album release on the home imprint, followed by the sub labels that releases other artists as well.
Five years from that era, Skudge has reshaped into the solo work from one of the original artists. This change of production and artistry launches into the crates with the release of the limited full length 'Balancing Point' LP.

During this time, the sound has shifted into new territory, where the entire A-side acts as the beginning of this grooving whirlpool of a record: quick and immense.
The UK influences that was formed in the 90's, gets picked up and infused through the B-side, ending off in a almost orchestral piece.

The delicate subtleness of the second 12' showcases a familiar coming-of-light type of style that we so much appreciate, firmly ending the long player and leave us sure of the future.

Balance Music continues on its quest to champion the world's most talented underground house and techno heroes with its latest offering from Germany's Alex Niggemann. Following on from efforts by Patrice Bäumel and Darius Syrossian this year, he steps up to the plate with an emotive, murky, and deep selection of grooves.

While the stylistic context of his musical vision may have evolved over the course of his career, Alex Niggemann's work has always been focused around deep atmospherics and mysterious melodies. Through releases on Poker Flat Recordings (including debut album Paranoid Funk), Watergate Records and Sasha's Last Night On Earth, he has built up an enviable body of work that never falters. His AEON imprint has also seen him play tastemaker in another sense, bringing through names like Speaking Minds and Denis Horvat, ensuring that he is constantly plugged into the most exciting new and established talents alike.

Putting together this heady mix for Balance proved to be a challenge he relished. His shortlist of track choices was whittled down by a process of elimination: a certain track isn't available, so an alternative selection comes into play, which has a knock-on effect on the rest of the programming. It is a bit like being a soccer manager' he says, making sure every position is covered double, being flexible and able to react to certain changes, still making the whole team work together best.' So seamless and congruent is his selection, however, that you'd never know this to listen to it.

For me it was important to create new 'songs' between each track during the transitions between them. For me, a "mixtape" was always about that, trying to avoid obvious changes and create a fusion between songs, keeping the same mood, so the listener doesn't hear a new song coming in, but realises after a few minutes that there was a change.' His brooding take on deep, melodic and often dramatic techno indeed fits together incredibly harmoniously, subtle changes modulating the mix in granular fashion.

We begin with the near-beatless ambience of TVA's Radio Camaldoli Stereo' setting the mood perfectly, pared back melodies and FX harkening back to the vintage days of progressive house before Andrea Oliva's Empty Lips' imparts sorrowful melody and militant snare rolls to start picking things up. Trevino's take on Dark Sky's Rainkist' brings the first tense vocal into play over dark swathes of synths, into the shimmering melodies of Dave DK and Gui Boratto and the expert hypnosis of Daniel Avery. A new exclusive from Niggemann, Hurricane', yields a stunning, graceful vocal into play over squelchy kicks, with Trikk and Dubspeeka providing throbbing tracks topped with delicate melodics.

Baikal's minimalist approach provides a moment of deep introspection before the warm acid of Philipp Stoya's Rula' adds a touch of machine funk to the proceedings and TVA and Denis Horvat take us into even more tripped-out waters. We go deep again with MUUI's Rsrsrs', Aril Brikha & Sebastian Mullaert laying on rampant riffs aplenty on Illuminate' and Valet's Crisis Of Faith' opening up the atmospheric space further. Just as you sense the mix may swell to more intense moods, Niggemann pulls the reins back once again, Etapp Kyle and his own Divergent' plunging us deeper still. It's left to Antigone and Ø (Phase) to draw the mix to a close via some floaty ambient techno that keeps the psychedelic feel very much intact.

It's a mix that rewards repeated, concentrated listening, with many clever flourishes woven deep into its fabric. I think this mix is easy to listen to while doing something else, but it's also something to trip out on, bringing you on a journey when listening to it very precisely with closed eyes. In this moment you'll also find out about the little details that you maybe don't hear on the first listen, but which I hope make this mix special.'

Via App is an alias of Dylan Scheer, Queens based electronic producer and performer. She started hosting and playing shows, as well as releasing tapes under the moniker in Boston. From there, she moved to New York in 2014 and quickly became part of the city's experimental electronic scene. Her early live hardware sets got her recognition for their often stark mode of sample manipulation and collage, their dynamic narrative compositions, and their refusal to adhere to any one genre. More recently her live sets have maintained a similar sense of precariousness. She works samples and her synthesized sounds into polyrhythmic infectious grooves which threaten to break at any moment, unpredictably giving way to manic frenzy, or complete pause. Her studio recordings exist, in part, as documentation of her performances and are all recorded live.



In 2015 she released "7 Headed," a heavily sample-based techno 12" that received critical acclaim, landing her a spot on the top 10 electronic releases of the year in the Wire, and an artist feature on Resident Advisor. She has toured Europe and played esteemed festivals such as Moogfest, Sustain-Release, and Rewire, and will play Unsound Festival in October. A Via App track is featured in an Objekt mix and its accompanying 12" of rarities on Tresor which was released

Next to step up to D Edge's conceptual label OLGA is solo Berlin artist Martin Mueller aka youANDme. The acclaimed producer serves up three brilliant tracks that, like all releases on this label, are designed specifically with the Brazil club's futuristic styles and sumptuous sound system in mind.

youANDme runs a bunch of his own labels including some mysterious ones but also Rotary Cocktail Recordings, Polymorph and CUTZ.ME. He has been turning out deep and seductive jams for almost ten years now and have done so on Cocoon, Desolat and Finale Sessions amongst others. Always serving up brooding and physical machine made music with real underground soul, the music here is made up of great modular synth jams done in one take on old analogue machines that have authentic textures and atmospheres hidden within. It really feels like youANDme is speaking to us through his machines here, with subtle messages mirroring the turmoil of the global political times in with we live.

The first A1 cut on this Sinus Cosinus EP is a spooky and spine tingling num-ber with freaky and creepy synth lines sounding all trippy above a firmly rooted and rolling drum line. Dubby and full fat, it is the sort of heady tune to really drive a tight club crowd wild.

The second offering B1 is then a pressure building cut with heavy kick drums demanding you march to their beat. More sci-fi and spaced out sounds flesh out the grove up top and will help make for an otherworldly experience on the dance floor.

Last of all, the B2 track is more loose and unhinged, with watery and squelchy sounds dripping and popping off over rubbery drums. Textured and full of expert sound design, it is the sort of cut to really get people under a hypnotic spell.

The giant energy of an early 90s rave meet classic hip hop beats straight from the dusty SP-1200 on Cazion's debut record:

"Rap music runs very deep in my veins; by the time I was fourteen I was making mixtapes and obsessing over the huge, funky, bombastic sounds of late eighties hip hop," says Cazion's Photocall. "I still aspire to capture the snap and the bigness of the kind of sound you'd hear on a Paul C record, a Public Enemy record, and I still use the the same machines those guys used to do it," he adds, gesturing at the wealth of vintage gear cluttering his retro spaceship of a studio, The Escape Pod. "When you hear the first bar of this song, you might expect some dude with a cameo flattop to start rhyming about the Benzi Box in his Suzuki Samurai at any moment."

"We wanted to take it all the way," adds Maheras, from the depths of a glowing neon couch. "Some people shy away from using certain sounds because they're afraid to sound cheesy - but they forget to have fun. I'd rather have so much fun making a song that I forget to worry."

"Like the dancers we sampled," Photocall agrees. "The vocal snippets are from a British video that was shot on New Years Day, 1993, the morning after a giant rave. It's the middle of some field, people are pushing their cars out of the mud, and this one couple is still dancing their asses off. They don't care that there's no music playing; they're totally in the zone. My man DJ Duane happened to send us the link as we were programming the drums for this record, and something just clicked. We knew we were making this record for those two crazy kids, wherever they are. Possibly still in that field."

CVN is the work of Japanese electronic artist and core member of the now defunct Synth punk duo 'Jesse Ruins' -Nobuyuki Sakuma. A work that is distinctly Sci-Fi in it's intention, 'Exposure' is comprised of six tracks that veer from battered & scorched weightless warfare workouts to bright & melodic mutant electro to desolate and longing fragments of cracked ambience.

Nobuyuki's interest appears to lay in the imagining and exploration of an otherworldly zone of warfare, destruction and ruin. However Nobuyuki is not simply interested in representing this melee of chaos, rather he is more concerned with an exploration of what is born out of, and remains intact after this futuristic & sci-fi representation of war.
The after effects of this destruction manifest in truly touching and human snippets of hope - throughout the record the noise frequently drops away to expose haunting passages of skeletal, longing dub horns and blistering ambience.
When CVN does veer towards the dancefloor the transitions between styles are vicious and warping, sweeping from deep Detroit vibes on 'secondary infection' to the bold and bright machine shuffle of 'Golgi Complex'. 'Exposure' is a record of oscillating weights, seamlessly shifting from sparse pounding throbbing drums to completely featherweight tremors.

He's been doing liveshows for a long time, 20+yrs or so..... Not until few years ago Daniel started to pop up on various labels. Borft want to say hello mr Rave, serve us with your liquid-bricks!

Many people ask me what 30' means to me as it's just a simple number.30 is my current age, and age is nothing but a way to measure time that has gone.30 is the name of my first album, where I tried to involve in just one work all of my background and all of the efforts I made through the years. It's a goal achieved, an artistic and personal consciousness that I'd like to share as much as I can with you guys.I wanted to call it this way because I had the need to prove points, involving emotions and feelings, knowing that emotions and feelings are hard to contain. In these 18 tracks there's everything I've been, 'till this moment and everything that I want to be from now on.It's an emotional path full of colors,the perfect painting to make you understand my interpretation of music.

Inside the album you will find linear tracks and techno killer,in the same time tracks more downtempo and introspective. To each of them I wanted to give the most intimate interpretation I could give,trying to make you absorb everything that has influenced me,musically in my carrier.This is the firt time I'm showing myself this way as it's the first time I really feel ready to do it,so then 30 perhaps is an acquired maturity to make me experience this revolution.The album will be out on RIOT my music label,it's not an accident if Riot' is the acronym for Revolutionary Idea On time.
Enjoy the music.

COME ON is a perfect track to bring the dancefloor to delirium. It is innovative, with a house groove and more Chicago House sounds. It has been already supported by many dj, finding a huge success in most important festivals.

CRAZY MAN is madness. The neurotic synth in the track is the best state of mind different, crazy and sometimes hysterical.

IN&OUT causes an adrenaline rush by harmonizing the bass of up to almost half track. With its 125 BPM has an incredible impact on the audience. The title is a clear criticism of the musical world, now locked in a system that often leaves home phenomenal artists rather than evaluate them as they deserve.

MY OWN SENSATION is a solar track. Melodies and mentioned vocals, accompanied by repeated bass throughout the track, blow up the track into a big party, maybe in Ibiza.

the mushroom man - also known as super mario !!! this legendary track is now repressed !!!!

Record Store Day 2015 will see a special release from Gene Hunt directed and selected by label boss I-Robots.

The two track vinyl EP features unreleased material produced in the early years of the famed Chicago artist's career in the 80s and is dedicated to musical legend Frankie Knuckles who appears on the artwork in a rare picture with Gene Hunt from back in the day.

Gene has regularly produced and remixed for the label before now (including remixing Klein & M.B.O. 'Last Call' and on forthcoming I-Robots project 'Dirty Talk' ft. Donna McGhee) and has already assured his place in house history as a DJ headlining clubs like Warehouse and the Music Box as well as playing with the likes of Ron Hardy and Larry Heard.

As a producer he has been on top of his game for three decades and has released on legendary imprints such Rush Hour, Svek, Djax and many more, so is a true house icon.

His first cut here, 'Drive Yourself Nuts' is a classic bit of Chicago jack with prickly percussive patterns staying busy on top of punchy drums. Wonky bass, physical grooves and coarse claps all make this one a standout banger for the peak of the night.

On the flip of this special package, 'Wildside D Dubb' is a slow building, mania inducing tune with a lead synth line slithering about over dusty metallic drums. Eventually some acid bleeds into the mix and pans all around, adding a sense of scale to this heady, freaky, dance floor smasher. As ever, Opilec Music show others how it is done with this real and rare bit of true Chicago house history.

Following a superb contribution to DVS1's Mistress imprint in 2015, Minneapolis' DJ, producer and promoter Mike Gervais drops the four track 'Precision Process' EP for Ben Sims' Symbolism imprint.

An integral part of Minneapolis' small but vocal techno scene via his System parties and label, Gervais is steadily breaking out and 'Precision Process' will certainly
aid his cause.

From the tunnelling, rave tinged machine funk of 'Precision Process' and 'Power and Pressure' through to the fever-dream hypnotics of 'Deep Breath' and 'Motion',
the latest EP makes for a memorable take on classic techno elements.

* Robert Henke is back with a new album under his Monolake alias. Instead of simply being a collection of tracks, it has a deeper story. Here it comes:
* In the late 1970s, a series of significant enhancements in technology further accelerated the evolution of the digital age. Graphical interfaces, networked computers and new software tools allowed to design and manufacture integrated circuits with tens of thousands of functions on one chip; a process called Very Large Scale Integration - VLSI. The structures became so complex, that for the first time computers were needed to build the next generation of even faster computers.
* As a result of that evolution, the heart of a computer could now be put onto a single chip - the microprocessor was born. It made possible the move from large mainframe systems to personal computers, allowed teenagers to build systems in garages and become billionaires, gave birth to the game industry, and also enabled the creation of completely new electronic musical instruments: digital sound generators, drum machines, samplers and effects.
* Most of the signature sounds on the VLSI album were programmed using early digital synthesisers; machines built by individuals or small teams of adventurous engineers and music enthusiasts during the 1980s, stretching the imagination of what could be done with a handful of chips and a good idea.
* The VLSI album is sonic archeology. Tiny artefacts of the instruments used have been carefully excavated and brought to new light. What was once perceived as limitation and dirt can now be experienced as character, colour and patina. The interaction with these machines guided a minimalist and structural approach to sound and rhythm, expanded and re-contextualised into a futuristic soundtrack, utilising the recording technology of 2016. The result is inspired by early techno, UK breakbeat and dubstep, african dance rhythms, future glitch, ambient and a variety of amazing academic computer music.
* The concept for VLSI emerged during an artist residency at the Center for Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA) at Stanford University in 2013, which helped me understand not only some deeper technical aspects of my trade, but also the social and cultural peculiarities of Silicon Valley.
* Thus, the VLSI album is also a reflection of very present social, economic and political topics driven by high tech companies more powerful than governments. The dystopian undercurrent in the music is deliberate.
* Some of the 'historic' instruments used:
* Alesis Quadraverb Dynacord DRP-20 Emu Systems SP-12 Turbo Ensoniq ASR-10R Eventide Eclipse H3000 Lexicon PCM-80 480L Korg DDD-1 Linn Linn Drum NED Synclavier II Oberheim Xpander PPG Wave2.3 Quantec Yardstick SCI Prophet VS Yamaha DX27 DX7
* VLSI marks the endpoint of a series of six EPs, released between 2014 - 2016. The source material from these EPs has been re-arranged and augmented for the album, with additions of previously unreleased pieces.

Lost My Dog co-founder Pete Dafeet releases the second single from his critically acclaimed debut album The Root, The Soul. My Love Is Raw is classic deep house: gritty chords, fierce vocal snippets, and roughshod beats that bring DJ Pierre's Wild Pitch to mind.

Manuel Tur's remix adds menace to the original's simplicity. A stripped-back groove that builds to a crescendo of acid, synths, and tribal rhythms - as turbulent and demented a seven minutes you'll find this side of DC10.

* Final instalment in the Livity Sound remixes series. Huge remixes from Tessela (R&S / Poly Kicks) and Italian duo Stenny & Andrea (Illian Tape) of two of Livity Sound's biggest tracks from 2013.

Meet Renart, genius, young and mysterious french techno producers, largely noticed over the last few years for his carefully crafted releases on French labels such as Cracki Records, Dawn Records and the Acid Arab Compilation. For his 4th EP, Renart produced four house tinted techno tracks for the launch of the Hong Kong based house + techno label "Fragrant Harbour".

An unidentified female witness told journalists that a girl wearing glasses and a heartless man were hanging out in the backyard listening to weird relentless electronic noise' when she heard a commotion. The girl allegedly tossed the man around violently' , then ran into the house where she took her clothes off before smashing mirrors, glasses and other items. She then told a reporter: I just loved them hi-hats and claps so much that when the music stopped I had to do something. Where is this Savas from From the future'

Berlin-based dj and techno producer Savas Pascalidis has been steadily making his mark in underground electronic music circles since his first releases in the mid-90s.
Born in south germany and later moved to berlin, the well-traveled DJ has been among the restless and classically minded members of the dance music community over the last decades. He developed skills that led him into producing records and made a name for himself with a series of dark, loopy and groove driven dancefloor orientated techno music. Pure and simple. His releases earned him a reputation for being something of a dance music purist.

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.

Label boss Shlomi Aber take us back to sweaty, smoky, dark rooms with his new EP 'O.D. / Helter Skelter". After his successful summer residency at Sankeys Ibiza 'Tribal Sessions", Shlomi is not breaking away from his studio and takes the influences of the White Island onto his music. Minimalistic, acid flavours and Shlomi's signature grooves make up the opening track 'O.D.", while on the flip the label boss brings up the energy for the peak-time with 'Helter Skelter". Strong, smartly crafted Techno once again from Shlomi Aber on Be As One.

The first ACID of 2015 is here on this strictly limited dark purple
marbled 12" wax. ACID5 delivers another four unknown artist tracks, the cuts on this wax are full of squelchy acid patterns, hard kicks, and funky rhythm sections.

We can reveal that SERI who skipped ACID4 is
featured on this release here, along with three producers who wish to remain secret until this EP gets a digital release one day. But, for now...it's 100% vinyl only !

Innocent Music presents first vinyl release with their best artists in a great various compilation!

REPRESSED !!
Contort Yourself has once again gathered the best and boldest from past and present for its fourth EP. To begin with we have the grimacing visage of Volition Immanent, an intense live act made up of Parrish Smith and Mark Van de Maat (Knekelhuis). Behind rawkish distortion, splintered beats and acrid bars screams a boiled anger; a track spitting on the divides of punk and electronics. Nastiness is taken up a notch as noise ne'er-do-wells Zombies Under Stress take over. Static is bent and doubled across thick chords and collapsed clap in the 1986 "Maan Zal Zijn" before the raw and raging battery of "In Onze Tijd." L.I.E.S. regular Svengalisghost grapples with "Maan Zal Zijn, channelling the original's rage into a mechanical monster. The 12" is bookended with bite as Mark Forshaw (Tabernacle/Berceuse Heroique) closes with the tortured and torrential thump of "Submission." A callous, caustic and fervently cruel EP.

Mysterious, super-advanced, future classic white label that has been causing a bit of stir amongst the heads.... very limited, get it while you can !

With a lengthy discography on influential imprints like his own Sub Static, Triebstoff, Dumb Unit, Contexterrior, and more, Falko Brocksieper has been a force in the development in deep, minimal sounds for a decade and a half. Working alongside label co-head M.I.A., Sub Static and sublabel Karloff released music from prestigious producers - René Breitbarth, Mathew Jonson, Pan/Tone, DJ Slip, Shonky, and themselves - from 2001-2010 and established the lasting reputation of Falko while identifying their label as a source of quality dancefloor ideas for its decade-long run.

If things have been quieter for him since 2011, he has remained active in his Berlin base, and for the 9th release on Caduceus Records we proudly offer a pair of originals from the respected German producer with remixes from Petar Dundov and Ladislav.

Following on its evocative, mysterious title, 'Ocean Machine' explores aquatic dub atmospheres and clear melodic elements as it slowly accelerates to cruising speed and remains there for the duration exploring these depths. While remaining invested in dubby melody, 'Loom' is a tougher techno track driven by a powerful, growling bassline and gritty drum programs that exchange energy with the keyboard parts while slowly gaining momentum.

Known for his deeply textured sound, Dundov transforms 'Ocean Machine' into an epic that rides to high drama on suspended pads, rolling, pulsating bass, and understated but hard-hitting percussion.

Adding vocal samples and more dramatic drum changes to 'Loom', Ladislav keeps drive intact but builds on the atmospherics to create rousing peak-time techno. A digital bonus is Falko's heavily ambient 'Give up the Ghost', a submerged journey where static, synthesizer zaps, and incomprehensible vocals build to a subtle climax before slowly fading away.

In 2015, Delude Records starts with a fresh vinyl by the austrian artist GZI.
The release contains 2 tracks from GZI. First track called MONOPOLY.
Its a very nice techno track with a little minimal tech and house influences.
The second track called MELANCHOLIE. Its a trip of silence with nice synthesizer
arrangements.
This Vinyl is in Memory of a good friend - - der Gerd . GZI says R.I.P. my friend.

If you look into the night sky you can see a shadow of the Headless Horseman and his steel. This time around he has taken Perc prisoner in the Graveyard. As we know, Decapitation does not come without con- sequence. Rumor has it that the Horseman is continuing his journey throughout the land and will strike again so beware.

Sheffield's techno spearhead Lo Shea returns for his second release in 2015, served with a Zenker Brothers remix out on DEXT Recordings.

Lo Shea is certainly not work-shy. Founding the vinyl only label Seaghdha, and launching the 100 Years label (to commemorate the steelworks industry that Sheffield was born upon), Lo Shea's catalogue documents an impressive 14 releases in just three years.

Running his own warehouse night and label Hope Works, Lo Shea has shared the stage with the likes of Motor City Drum Ensemble, Theo Parrish, Ben Klock and Kyle Hall to boot.

DEXT Recordings now welcome Lo Shea for their fourth instalment. Initiating the proceedings with the infectious shuffle of 'Durga', the tonne soon turns sinister as the rupturing drones of 'Sweatbox' shadow over synthetic toms and erratic percussion.

Famed German duo Zenker Brothers then flip the script on remix duty, with a snappier and more crystalline rendition of 'Durga'. After teasing the music community with a snippet of closing track 'Anzu' on his RA live mix last year, a flurry of excitement has certainly been built around its demonic bassline and shuffling chaos.

For their third Delicacies 12" this year, SMD take a deeper, more spaced out approach, in contrast to the strict techno of the previous two releases. "Far Away From A Distance" features hypnotic synth washes that glide slowly in and out of time with the track's rhythmic bed, stumbling over each other in a 5am haze. "Flying Or Falling" pushes into classic SMD melodies, mournful Detroit indebted warmth spilling over the groove.
Guest remixer this time is the ever excellent Lena Willikens, delivering massive club fire in the form of her own much more minimal take on 'Far Away From A Distance", stripping it back and only allowing the melody to intrude in the last third.
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.
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.

Our guys Thorax (known from his Nightmare in Germany Anthem, the "Bad Guy" EP or his remix for Pzyco Beat Project's "Nine Crimes") and Tensor & Re-Direction (still known from last year's "Fear & Hate EP") joined forces and founded the project"Suspect Zero".Their first work was available at the end of 2011already: the remix of last year's Army Of Hardcore Anthem.Now their full "Suspect Zero EP" is ready to hit the hardcore floors outside.

This is the second vinyl for the Spanish label that is connected to Discos Paradiso Record Shop. Agony Forces (Lycaon) express their experience better than ever. They are growing more and more. Very high quality of modern techno. One of the two remixes is signed by an artist who doesn't need any introduction: Ness. His style is unmistakable. The surprise is the other remix signed by Dark Vektor, pure electro that we don't hear much of these days.

Pleasurekraft's labor of love imprint Kraftek have announced the first instalment of their vinyl series due out on October 9th. For this inaugural release - Kraftek has nabbed 2 of its favorite producers- Re.You taking on Pleasurekraft & Tiger Stripes' "Primed" - while fellow Berliner David Mayer of Keinemusik revamps Matrixxman's "The Sigil".

Re.you takes the pulsating groove and abstract bass of label boss Pleasurekraft and Tiger Stripes' collaboration and strips it right back, slowing the pace and turning 'Primed' into a slow burning and eerily atmospheric track.

David Mayer completes the offering with his remix of Matrixxman's 'The Sigil'. Rhythmic groove and tight percussion give way to a melodic homage nodding to the original's signature hallmark. But it's Mayer's emotional pad swells that build the intensity of the remix to another level - making his rendition truly something special.

Showcasing the finely tuned production skills and raw talent of the Kraftek family, the first volume of the Kraftek Vinyl Series will be available on Beatport and vinyl on the 9th October.

One of Prurient's most captivating raids on the borderlands of power noise and symphonic doom rears its furious head once again for this epic gatefold reissue on Hospital Productions, 10 years on from its original release on double tape and then as a single vinyl pressing for the legendary Load Records in 2007.
Pleasure Ground stands as a key part of Prurient's golden quadrant alongside The History Of Aids (2002), Black Vase (2005) and Cocaine Death (2008), its immolating rage renders Fernow at an early crest of his energies, consolidating the hi-pitch intensity and bile of his idols, Whitehouse,
with the majestic, meditative inspirations of Black Metal and a more personalised bloodlust for unheimlich synth tones and pulsating electronic undercurrents.
Its four long tracks are riven with the paradoxes that make Prurient's music so compelling and practically a genre unto itself, meting out a sound in Earthworks / Buried in Secret that's
simultaneously nerve-gnawing yet bleakly tender, or weighing up caustic harshness with a melodic vulnerability in Apple Tree Victim that appeals far beyond the bombed-out no mans land of pure noise to intersect with the entrails of EBM in the raging but poised thunder of Military Road - one of his finest moments, bar none - and coldwave pop and fetishistic synth themes in Outdoorsman/Indestructible.
If you're willing to bite down you will find a depth of bittersweet flavour submerged beneath the tidal waves of white noise filled with nuance and vulnerability, slowly dragging you into the abyss.
Ultimately though, there's no mistaking that in the end this album is just unflinchingly fucking heavy...

Growin Music is a new experimental & atmospheric label who's second release comes courtesy of Samuel André Madsen aka S.A.M.

To coincide with the full remix album's unveiling on CD, the exquisite reworkings of 'All I Think About Is Death' and 'Why You Feel So Low', by techno heavyweights Radio Slave and Function respectively, have been singled out for release on vinyl.

The former bears all the hypnotic hallmarks of a Radio Slave classic: incrementally menacing percussive lines woven with the heart- wrenching vocal chants of the original over an epic 12 minutes. At once understated and emphatic, the tenor is deepened in the extreme on an ambient 'Atmos' version.

Berghain resident, Function, on the other hand treats Claustrophobia's flagship 'Why You Feel So Low' with a delicate touch: he retains the buoyant hook of the original, underlying it with a thunderous, reverberating bassline, handclaps for days, and a beat tailor-made for only the biggest and brightest sound systems.

Inspired in equal measure by analog synthesizer technology and the lush Swedish countryside, Genome marks the first collaboration between veteran techno producers Patrick Siech and Minilogue's Sebastian Mullaert, with part one of the three-EP series appearing on Richie Hawtin's Minus label. Recorded live to tape last spring, the four tracks that comprise Genome 1 make for a transformative dancefloor experience that morphs and swoops its way through soulful, sweaty analog techno with flourishes of 303-style acid. Mullaert and Siech met in their hometown of Malmö, Sweden, back in 2000, when Mullaert was premiering his Minilogue project live with partner Marcus Henriksson. Siech opened that show with his very first public DJ set. The pair kept in touch over the years in the small but tightknit scene, and when it came time for Mullaert to set up his new studio in the small forest village of Röstånga, an hour outside of the city, he enlisted Siech's help, which led to a week of intense experimentation and lengthy analog-synth jams. 'That was the real door opener for us,' says Mullaert. 'We didn't have any concept or vision in mind for it, other than having fun together.' Central to the Genome series is Siech's modular synth, which he reassembled in Mullaert's studio for the recording. 'I credit all my tracks partly to the ghost that lives in this machine,' says Siech. 'I can't imagine making music without it. There are so many variables in it that create strange voltage fluctuations, so you can never be 100% sure what it will throw at you from the speakers.

New solid sound right from the cutting edge of Germanys electronic music scene. With his new single 'What!' on PRAXXIZ, Manuel Winkler aka Superstrobe from Berlin gives another proof of what his sound is all about: genre fusion par excellence!

Da Fresh and Phuture Traxx contributed two powerful remixes that really make this single a neat piece of work!

Bonus track and first time on vinyl: Johannes Heils Anger Management Therapy remix of Superstrobes 'Angry Chords' from the album 'Reboot' (PRAXXIZ, 2012).

Hot coming straight from the Moustache Records building is this Moustache Techno Series 006 made by the notorious berlin based trio "Third Side" (Marieu, Lucxrietio and Steffi).

Pure non compromised Techno house Dance music at it's best, play it loud! you won't regret... limited! gone is gone.

U-More exactly after a year, back on his label with the fourth release. An album different, new, clean, colorful, lively. This album finds all his musical influences, originating since the 90s and that led him, in the course of these years, to get a sound all its own.

Van Czar, Onofrio Conte and Cysxe teaming up and they deliver the brilliant 4-tracker ''Remission EP''. Each artist drops his signature audio flavor in this package and the final result is simply delicious, ready to satisfy every hungry clubber!

One of two very limited samplers of the Datafunk 2.0 project. Due to the project being considerably delayed a couple of artists pulled their tracks so Abstract Forms has decided to split the remainder of the project into two 12" samplers instead. 150 copies of each.

Kling Klong's longtime friend Alex Flatner returns to Martin Eyerer & Rainer Weichhold's label with a very sensual and twisted track. Done together with his mate Blue Amazon and the legendary singer Robert Owens, 'Never Get It Twisted' was quickly a must for Suara and Tronic artist Dosem to submit a driving techno remix.

When WNCL012 hero, Kevin McPhee, dropped the unreleased Bobby Champs dubplate of 'Krenshaw' in his Boiler Room set last
year, the Cassette Library instantly knew that they had found their lucky star for WNCL013. With his trademark boxy drum sound
littering the contents of this EP, the man who likes '...making songs that make you want to dance' has done it again.

To round things off, we're also treated to the next installment in the beat-heavy Decimated series ("Decimated #8').

Jorge Zamacona returns to Mosaic with three sublime slices of raw techno flavoured house.

The 'Obsidian Falls' EP from Seattle's Josef Gaard sits at a very fascinating but incredibly complimentary space between traditional techno tendencies and freeform ambient composition and experimentation. Each track seamlessly references each other providing a straightforward sense of cohesion while maintaining a constant and aggressively progressive motion. The EP will guide and gently coerce the listener into experiencing a somewhat altered perspective on sonic and musical expression. Without much notice the listener will effortlessly travel from point "A" to point "C" without realizing they've ever touched on point "B".

As was the case with Blankstairs alum, Archivist, Josef Gaard has played an integral role in the development of the foggy and seemingly bleak techno leaning sounds coming out of Seattle and the surrounding Pacific Northwest as of late. As a curator and active resident for the Secondnature crew Gaard has shared bills with Abdulla Rashim, Silent Servant, Israel Vines, Heatsick, and Mick Finesse among many others. The 'Obsidian Falls' EP is his debut 12" release and a rather successful statement on adventurous music targeted for the mind and the body.

Debut ep by this Russian based newcomer under the alias LOW TAPE.

Killer deep space electro techno on Solar One Music!!! Feeling inspired by the journey into space, SolarOneMusic has been working hard to create their own Hubble Telescope Series, which captures the feeling of space exploration through different experimental dance-floor tracks. As a homage to the Hubble Telescope and all the great scientists and engineers at the NASA and ESA and each part of the series comes with a cover print picture taken by the Hubble Telescope. The series consists of 3 releases featuring E.R.P., Heinrich Mueller, Rudolph Klorzeiger, The Exaltics, Robert Heise, Crotaphytus and Luxus Varta. Featured for the first part of the series, is the talented artist Emeric Di Paolo aka Luxus Varta including a stellar collab with Paris the Black FU!!! A superb spacey, atmospheric sound bed with a incomparable, hypnotic voice from Paris The Black FU. "Kuft" the first track of this release sounds like a space trip to another galaxy with his pulsating bassline and drexciyan soundscapes. "Ieloh" has a super warm melody with contrasting futuristic cracking sounds. Breigs is a twinkling sound bombardment with a mysterious voice inside. The last track called "Voxpol" completes the release with an agile, jolting texture, an alien-like conversation. Don't miss this journey into the deep space.

A Personal Voyage Ep These walls have made us the beings we are. They have listened and echoed, our words, our creed, our hate. These walls have tied down the souls of us; they made us insane, hysterics, in observing defenceless, uncredulous that there was not, any reaction. We can only halt us, after having used up our nails, over these walls now rough because of our shouts, our burned hopes, by our passions damned; by our minds, dinned. None could ever help us, because as slaves we feel and now we are, of these cursed walls and of these walls damned that, however still give a sense, to our cold life

Interstate 87 presents an experimental trilogy of swirling textures, crunchy glitches, and mysterious synth lines. From the introspective, wandering melodies of the title track, to the cold, expansive chords in Islay, and finally, the uplifting drone of Truckers, Interstate 87 is a meditative journey through a dynamic and nuanced sonic palette.

Hessle Audio present the debut full-length album from label co-founder Kevin McAuley, aka Pangaea. In Drum Play's ten tracks cut deep into stripped-back techno structures, yet remain infused with the ravey intensity and rogue experimentalism that has placed his work among both the strangest and most banging dance music to emerge from the UK in the last decade.

Since his debut 12" in 2007, Pangaea's music has existed in a continual state of metamorphosis. From the ghostly flex of his early singles into the rhythmic vortices of his self-released Hadal EPs, and now the mesmerising dance of In Drum Play, it's evolved into a freewheeling strain of ruffneck techno - one ear jacked into sound system culture, the other in the stomping nocturnal psychedelia of UK pioneers such as Surgeon. His DJ sets have developed in parallel, becoming fast-paced acrobatic voyages at the interface of loopy techno and more exploratory UK styles, an aesthetic captured on his 2014 mix for the Fabriclive CD series.

As its title suggests, In Drum Play is a product of that feedback loop between the studio and the club. The devilishly funky intensity of tracks like 'Rotor Soap', 'More Is More To Burn' and 'DNS' emerged froma desire to write music that mirrored the late night dancefloor environments that McAuley has been DJing within. Crafted around sharpened motifs that burrow simultaneously into mind and body, they rank among his headiest and most forceful music to date.

Yet these tracks remain alive with the subtle diversions and shifts in mood that have always made his music so distinctive. The snakelocked metal drums and glowing melodies of 'Skips Desk', 'Bulb In Zinc' and 'One By One' are pure volatile energy, their bubbling percussive momentum building on killer earlier Pangaea cuts like 'Hex' and 'Viaduct'. Elsewhere, the record drifts off into increasingly dream-like zones, 'Lofty Can' and the pirouetting flute melodies of highlight 'Send It In' slow the tempo to a simmering steppers' groove, creating beautifully tangled musical puzzle boxes that, as with the blissed-out ambience of 'Scaled Wing', equally recall the roaming sensibilities of Amber-era Autechre and contemporaries like Lee Gamble. Just as intrinsic to Pangaea's aesthetic as his body-shock dancefloor tracks, these form the vital connective tissue of a record that's focused and immediate, yet just as compositionally subtle as ever: a fitting debut album from a producer and DJ who has now been releasing unpredictable and exploratory dance music for almost a decade.

Plastic Soul is a collaborative project between Paul Bateman and Bob Bhamra - two old friends with a penchant for procrastination
that makes My Bloody Valentine look like Stock, Aitken and Waterman. After several years of to and fro, WNCL017 is finally in the bag.

"To turn people's heads you have to make a bit of an effort to do something different. But maybe there's another part of me that just
wishes I could make club bangers and just put it out there..." Spatial, 2013

First was Eduardo de la Calle. After, Xpansul remaking the big "Soplo" from Tecknoise and now, Unclosed returns with a new exclusive 180gr Vinyl, and this time, it's signed by Tadeo (Non Series), Ignacio Tardieu (Sine recs), Tecknoise (Unclosed) and Martin Emit (Unclosed).

All tracks are techno based, from mental techno of Tadeo's cut to the classic dub techno made from Ignacio Tardieu. All designed for the clubs, first or last hour, but you decide when, where and how enjoy it.

By now we know the Exaltics stand for high quality advanced deep space electro techno after their great trilogy on Clone records and most recently their great retrospective album "The Truth 2008 - 2013"on their own Solar One Music. As a follow up on that album they invited an impressive line up of remixers to work on some of their album tracks! E.R.P. , Gosub, Dopplereffekt, Objekt, and Ultradyne: these heavyweights and legendary artists have written some of the most important pages of the electro / techno History. A dream come true for the Exaltics and a heavy weight and highly desirable collection of electro techno on Solar One Music! Highly Recommended!

ULTRAMARINE have history. As far as track records go, theirs is as close to perfection as you can get ... but you can go knock yourself out on Google for that - we're not here to talk about yesterday. Today, Ian Cooper and Paul Hammond give us ACID and BUTCH - two timeless trax with an eye on tomorrow...

Disciples of Chaos "Benvenga il Chaos poiche' l'ordine ha fallito." Healing to darkness, joining the united forces of Techno, "Disciples Of Chaos" is a twisting vortex of sickness conceived of five brand new tracks by Lamanna & Sirio Grimaldi, Fire At Work, Drvg Cvltvre, Valerio Moscatelli, Zone Démersale: produced by Love Blast together with Stirpe999, it comes in printed sleeve.

Tony Scott has been producing electronic music since the early nineties under various pseudonyms, but with Edit Select he has found his forte, and when it comes to deep, thought-provoking yet floor ready techno, there are not many artists that can do it like Edit Select. At home on some headphones with your eyes closed as it is on dance floor moving bodies '11.12.16' on Android Muziq is a must have for fans of techno on the dance floor and beyond.

Jonas Friedlich, better known through Mistress Recordings and Carl Gari, releases his first solo 12" on Molten Moods. The versatile 4 track EP starts with the rather straight "Bo's Breakfast" that begins with a polyrhythmic 303 bass line leading into a catchy garage-ish chorus, kicking in out of a clear sky but fittingly. "Bus Driver" is a wicked trip, the combination of the long acid build up and a nicely chopped vocal bit is irresistible. A proven, tested (and Molten Moods certified) club banger, regardless of its rather untypical breakbeat. Track number 3 called "Praise Your Name" aces groove through perfectly cut vocal samples and a fancy reference to 90s Hip Hop and Drum'n'Bass aesthetics. The next and last piece on the record is the eponymous "Deskjet", which is inspired by Friedlichs conceptual sound art installations using printers. Here rather restrained synthie lines are underpinned by a powerful kick and psychedelic tape delay noises. The 12" vinyl is handstamped on both sides. Mastered and cut by Scape Mastering. Artwork by Paul Bernhard.

After being introduced to the OFF camp by a number of sets on OFF showcases around the
globe, Amsterdam-based DJ-Producer Lauhaus presents his premiere EP as one of the new
core artists on the label.

Things kick off with "Dyson Sphere", a rolling bassline serves as fundament for a deep and
toolish groove, topped by spacy synth pads and stabs.

The "Dyson Dub takes things into an even rawer direction, a massive subbass, distorted chords,
and energetic oldschool drums drive the track forward.

"Transits" offers a deeper vibe, perfect for the afterhour or a chilled sunday afternoon set.

Anonym steps up for a trippy minimalistic remix of "Transits", an ideal set opener.

"Flux" completes the ep with mental hypnotic techno vibes.

Following a brief stint in Italy with Hesperius Draco, Frigio Records is on the road again, this time crossing the Adriatic to hook up with Le Chocolat Noir. The Croatian artist, known for Disco Panonia and his work as Honored Matres, is no stranger to Frigio, having featured on All Stars Vol 1 in 2014.Transform Ep' is introduced by the industrial mental sounds of 'Greedy Pets' and followed by a new name to the roster as June delivers his interpretation of it. A grimy wave edge is pursued by the Greek machine man for a driving take. Drums slip and bass rumbles in a tense and terse piece of gritty music. Then Le Chocolat Noir offers the dark and looming 'N.E.T.'. Blackened lyrics are sampled as thick bars of synth and licks of acid make for a menacing curtain fall on side A.On the flip side, the steely claps and burbling bass are rinsed in metal for the gleaming EBM infused 'Doing Dishes' with vocals ghost beneath the currents. Following up, vocals picked up by Colombia's Cute Heels asthe electronic savant debuts on Frigio for a simmering aquatic remix.

For this vinyl release we have the pleasure to bring you a collaboration between three great producers, Andre Butano and Arfil, which is the new duo that includes Argenis Brito and Phillipe Liard. Their release is called Arbolea EP and it contains two original tracks. The first one is Arbolea, which presents a tech base but a slow and crazy groove driven mostly by synth bass line that carries out the whole vibe of the track. Besides that, we have a decent amount of percussive and iterated elements that creates different layers of sound, which are also perfectly placed together with a fantastic articulation between them. The second track called Dirty Harry, presents a more minimalistic composition and selection of sounds, but never leaving behind that funky tech style that characterizes these producers. The first melodic element for this track results from the bass line, which adds only a few but necessary notes to lift up the mood with ease due to its perfect placement. Several other sounds are present to create a great vibe as the several percussion sounds that, again, are blended perfectly to each other. The siren sound working as pad, and the acid synth that appears in the backend of the main break working as the second melodic element, shows up mostly to reset the heads of the crowd and keep groove going on after the release. These are definitely two great pieces of work, result of an impressive collaboration from these great producers.

Oscar Mulero is a one-man techno institution. After his first release on Token in 2008, Mulero teamed up with Christian Wünsch for two ep's as Spherical Coordinates.Now he's back with a new solo 4-track contribution.

Operating out of Madrid since the late 1980s, his productions reflect his deep understanding of techno through his tireless and disciplined work behind the decks. After his first release on Token in 2008, the ferocious Take Seven EP, Mulero teamed up with the comparably-accomplished Christian Wünsch for two more Token releases as Spherical Coordinates, sophisticated offerings of refined big room and bleep tracks.

Now he's back with another solo 4-track contribution that feels like classic Mulero. Hyperbolic Paths is simultaneously deep and bleepy, accented by hi-hats in syncopation. The tom-heavy Suborbital Trajectories carries a serious groove, layered with lively melodic elements and an occasional unexpected statement cymbal crash. A haunting and hypnotic number, Inclination swells and increases in intensity, rolling on after its breakdown with a playful kick-clap interaction. Eccentricity is a spacious, dubby closing track with reverb-soaked ornamental splashes.

5th release on TH Tar Hallow by Rhyw, the new solo project of Alex Tsiridis (one half of Cassegrain) in minimum control mode here.

Brotherhood Sound System Records is back with its third 12" offering and the first in a series of compilations entitled 'Percussive Parameters', delivering percussion heavy sonics focused directly at the dance floor.The lead track of the EP, Callahan's 'Kudzu', opens with a chopped, atmospheric vocal layered intelligently over rolling percussion and a hypnotic flute. A pounding 808 kick drum is teased underneath until the track switches into a relentless, chugging club tool.
This one's destined to tear up dance floors for a long time...
Next up are label bosses Silas & Snare with 'Eastern Shores'. An unassuming and innocuous introduction with lush pads and clean percussion that ricochets neatly off vocal cuts dramatically shifts pace and turns into a weighted, rolling cut of UK Techno. On the flip, A:Tonal leads the charge through an acid tinged stomper entitled 'Perfect Imbalance'.With driven percussion and firing synths in equal measure, this is unquestionably a peak time weapon in any DJs arsenal. Finally, Bristol locals SYZ & LKY deliver 'Turbulence', a groove and sub laden roller that's meditative and hypnotic whilst maintaining an assertively club ready focus.We're very excited about the start of this new project and chapter for the label, and would like to thank you for all your on-going support. Enjoy the music!

Acronym goes onto further explorations into the mind with four cuts of psychedelic, weirdo techno and floating deepness ending in the abyss.

Acid and wave influenced techno on Minimal Wave sublabel Cititrax. Played by Ron Morelli & Traxx (destroyed and mangled not just played more like) amongst others. TIP!
An-i is the latest musical moniker for Berlin based former New Yorker Doug Lee. Doug has been DJing and producing records for the last decade under various aliases and collaborations. The Cititrax EP Kino-i will be the debut release and home for An-i, a showcase of his love affair with machines. It fronts a hard hitting sound beyond category, moving from techno to jack to punk and to noise. It suggests an anything goes attitude perhaps dictated
more by the will of machines themselves then any author.

finally repressed

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

The next release on L.A.G. is from Bay Area to Berlin transplant Jamaica Suk. The Kontort E.P. (LAG006) is another 3 cut record with all original music. The title track Kontort is a composition with the big room in mind with thunderous kicks and bass with intricate panning and dub inflections. Holographic is a another big room techno workout with a deliciously infectious piano line which allows the producer's personality to shine through. Depth Between Waves is a dub techno roller. This track shows restraint till the break then re-emerges with a synth sound that pushes the groove forward in a simple yet undeniable manner.

For the latest release on Dissonant, his founder Marc Antona presents two grand journeys that reach into the deepest parts of his musical psyche. In'Rattle Snaps' he turns out a seductive bass line and a captivating beat drawing on his strength in layering up ingenious sonic details. The stripped-back feel of the track supports scattered drum hits with skillful and subtle touches while the energy rises and falls without breaking the immersive atmosphere. Stretching out over twelve gripping minutes on the B side,'The Fifth Season' is a powerful track with strong sub-bass ripples and a rising pad tone that sends shivers up the spine. It's the perfect demonstration of the drama and excitement giving a step forwards.
