5th physical out of Hamburg based Tach&Nacht-family. Incl. Rmxes by Jonas Saalbach&Tschoris and Felix Lorusso. Outstanding mix on a greymarbled heavyweight 4-Tracker. A balancing act from minimal to techno, influenced by deep&techhouse styles.

Lucidflow have a habit of kicking off the year in style. Even by that standard, Justin Berkovi's entry                                    
onto the label ­ coming in both digi and wax flavours ­ is quite remarkable. 
 
Prelude heads up a quartet of tracks in style, featuring one of the best drops in recent times. The                                      
lush strings and gentle keys provides one of those "stop and gawp at your mates" dancefloor                                
moments. Equally distinct is Dusk And Beyond, featuring bending and urging synths that sit                            
somewhere between classic Detroit and the proto­Plaid works of Balil. 
 
The classic Lucidflow template is represented by Something Together, running with airy prog­dub                          
tones and spoken word snippets, while What Will We Become goes for no messing Detroit in intent                                  
­ whip­cracking claps and a commanding vocal that cuts across the mix. 
 
This release marks a new beginning for Berkovi, better known for his tougher Music Man, Force Inc,                                  
Djax and Harthouse releases over recent years. After haunting the b­side of one release too many,                                
a reboot into a more beloved and emotional techno template is obviously reaping dividends.                            
According to the man himself, this is no trend following phenomenon: I've always produced deeper                              
music, more often than not even years ago was always pushed to B sides of EPs or remixes but                                      
now it's the main thing I want to do, techno with soul. After releasing a lot of more melodic material                                        
on labels such as eevonext and an album for Trapez a few years ago I want to return to solely                                        
concentrating on this style for my music and live sets' 
 
Hitting the street on 3rd March 2015, make sure you're on board with a man relishing a new lease                                      
of life.  
 

BAKK presents a new 12inch by Legowelt from the darkness of the Scheveningse Pier. Hypnotic swirling synths, moisty hi-hats and dirty kicks welcome you to the Laundromat Of Your Mind.

Comes in a screen printed inner sleeve mixed with stardust collected by the BAKK Astronaut Agency.

Japanese computer dance avatar NHK returns to Diagonal.
NHK's second LP following releases for Raster-Noton, Pan, Line.
Chewy garage techno and new beta bounce — extra trax on CD version. Art by Guy Featherstone, as per.
Mastered by Matt 'The Alchemist' Colton.
RIYL Artwork/Grain, Demdike Stare, Gescom, Blawan, Zomby.
Kouhei Matsunaga's 2nd album as NHK — his label debut for Diagonal — is a pixel-pill gobbling, seesawing wave of techno emotions presenting the Japanese artist at his most rugged and damaged. After recent LPs from Not Waving, Elon Katz and Russel Haswell, Diagonal now excel in drawing out powerful album statements from some of the most distinctive musicians in contemporary electronic music.
As bonkers as the narwhal-cavorting-with-a-rhino artwork, Doom Steppy Reverb is the skizzo brother of new beta, a 3D spec'd rally thru some of NHK's darkest, most driven material, done with a gangster swang in deft minor key arrangements that hint at a certain rudeboy vulnerability.
Its seven tracks toe a fine line between novel and nasty, sidewinding from warehouse acid to brukkin' garage techno by the brutal close of 1073+snare, or basic channelling Autech/Reichian chords with sole-melting synth juice in Y, only to unexpectedly turn out a baroque scally bubble, Zomby style, with 1082_s. Make no mistake, it's a record full of club bangers, though: L gets on Lory D levels of neo acid house squirm and 1083_lo_oct will demolish a big room at the right time thanks to some properly toned subbass, adding a new weapon to Diagonal's arsenal of world-scattered radge packets. It's proper fuel for DJs, dancers and headphone excursionists — and the artwork makes it just a good ol' laugh to look at.
This is NHK's best work — and demands to be felt.

The second installment of re Interpretations form Slam's latest, critically acclaimed album Reverse Proceed sees Soma look to yet more highly regarded Techno artists to provide their reimagining's of their favourite tracks from Reverse Proceed. Long time Soma collaborator Gary Beck makes a welcome return to the label alongside fellow Scottish upstarts Clouds and finally Dutch Techno wizard, Jeroen Search. Each brings their inimitable style to the project.

Gary Beck steps up first with his take on Catacoustics. His fiery brand of looped out Techno take the already tough Catacoustics into another realm. Gary comes out, all guns blazing using the original hook to great effect as it trips out over his ferocious kicks, thundering percussion and powerful dance floor groove.

Not shy of a fierce remix, the Clouds twosome give Resolved a thorough going over. One of the more ambient tracks from Reverse Proceed, the beatless, breathtaking original is well and truly given a proper workout by the young Scottish producers. Filtered, shaking percussion leads us into the analogue warmth of the Resolved pads. This light start rapidly gives way to a full on assault of rhythmic destruction as Clouds turn in a serious weapons grade Techno track.

The influential figure of Jeroen Search closes off this EP in fine form with his version of Cirklon Bells. Widely regarded as a true innovator in Techno, Jeroen shows off his skills with this remix as he powers in with a straight out 909 workout infused with hypnotic synth hooks. Given the live treatment, Jeroen is able to keep things exciting with the remix and easily pulls out a highly addictive remix.

Slovenia's prime annual selection of dubbed out electronica gets an extra boost with 4 new artists. The compilation effortlesly swivels between electronic soundscapes and organic dub. Equally enjoyable in a cozy home enviroment and in darker club atmosphere.

Out-ER reaches its seventeenth release welcoming back Buck - also known as Alessandro
Stefanio, label manager of Transition LAB - experienced DJ and producer who has been
actively contributing to the birth of Out-ER since the first brainstormings almost five years
ago. Nuove Sessioni features three atmospheric techno tracks plus an additional remix from
Ed Davenport, offering the only remix as Inland out in 2015.

Colours Of Observation debut release on Out Electronic Recordings doesn't represent a a news for many. The Berlin-­-based duo - created by Marieu, one half of The Analogue Cops, plus Smallville adept Christopher Rau - featured for the first time in early may 2015, during a label showcase taking over at OHM (Tresor). Their contribution for the italian house & techno record label are four original raw, vehement tracks unifying both musical imprints into the sixteenth' label release.

Out Electronic Recordings launches Different Seasons' series, a sequence of various artists only releases, featuring new collaborations and stabilizing the old ones: the aim is to show how ample and dynamic is Out-ER's aesthetics, always keeping an eye on the musical wave the label wants to express.

'Preparations' is the first record to be released on Tri Angle by Fis. Based in Wellington, New Zealand, Fis has steadily been building a name for himself on the underground as a producer to keep an eye on.

Having already put out a number of very limited edition and very well received releases through a handful of drum & bass oriented labels, 'Preparations' finds Fis at a point in his musicmaking career where he's ready to be introduced to a wider audience and confirm why websites like Resident Advisor have said things like: 'A producer that has suddenly appeared, rather fully-formed, doing something completely individual, sounding like absolutely no one else.'

It's difficult to explain exactly what Fis sounds like. Drawing upon a rich history of New Zealand customs and periods of heavy meditation for inspiration, Fis' tracks have the ability to completely disorientate and absorb the listener, creating rhythms that constantly seem to be cannibalizing one another.

'Preparations' feels forward thinking in the extreme and yet entirely elemental and strangely ancient.

Orlando Voorn will be back with a new release in May 2014. Its release contains an album of 12 tracks, with a remix from Hitechsoul. Acid European influences combined to Detroit techno with continuous dance melodies. Orlando Voorn experimental and innovative music strikes again!

REPRESSED !!

Heated Heads delves into another dark corner of the American experiment, this time via the Lone Star state.

Graig Clouse's Shit & Shine project has been a mainstay of the underground for well over a decade, having released unique sides for legendary labels like Rhode Island's Load, Riot Season, Gangsigns, Powell's Diagonal imprint, Rocket Recordings, Conspiracy outta Belgium and the inimitable Editions Mego, to name but a few.

Tunnel is a minimal techno and dark techno EP inspired by the
thought of getting into people's minds simulating the feeling of
driving into a tunnel or during a dream, A three tracks Ep
focused on groove and percussive sounds with effects and pitch
variations.

A side is based on different rhythmic and percussive patterns
research with Direct track, a simple minimal piece, able to
reach and let the listener into a tunnel of sounds with effects
and pitch variation and the self named track Tunnel, a groovy
track characterised by the continuous insertion of batteries
allowing the listener the continuation of the trip.
B side is a one hard acid track, working with operators and with
its 4 oscillators and a filter with LFO, a linear piece that follows
the wave of acid, specially made for the dance floor.

Sugar Jim Jr.: DJ, founder, event manager, Movine Gu.nther (one part of Tricky Fixinf), Head of it All. This man knows what works in the club, has also built a few dance temples with his own hands. Awesome Dude! Music wise Very simple . deephousedisco & 6 a.m. euphoria! Letienne: Full-blooded Italian musician coining his tracks with the Dolce Vita stamp. His pieces make you feel fine, like a sip of a good red wine. Result: southern exposure, very sunny, soft playful bouquet and just great in the finish! Koellelectronic: Electronic visionary, sound art nerd and master of the faders and turning knobs. What this dude gets out of his analog-synth collection is just criminal. Warm but forceful base lines that start off with massaging the tummy, to reach a physiotherapeutic extend towards the end. Ike Tuner: West Berlin Hip Hop Dance Dude and Body Claus (second half of Tricky Fixinf). This boy has already filled his block, his street with old school Hip Hop beats and rough electro sounds when he was a child. The founder of countless combos is now responsible for the crass, beautiful beats. Hip Hop meets House & Pop. But with sense and thoughtfulness...Word!

Returning to Houndstooth a year since the release of his One Sound / Layer Lock EP is Second Storey. After spending most of 2015 focussing on his collaboration with Laurence Osbourne - Second Storey & Appleblim present ALSO - over at R&S Records, Alec Storey came back into the fold as part of the Houndstooth 3rd anniversary compilation earlier this year. Now he returns to the label in full with a gleaming new EP, Bismuth.Initialising the release, title track Bismuth takes inspiration from a documentary on the visually impressive metal. Affected by its angular, complex 3D elements and fluid like structures the music itself mirrors the element's appearance deploying the intricate precision of IDM creating its own multiplex of textures.Created directly after moving into his new studio, second track Vapor Valve is the product of Storey feeling invigorated by his fresh set up. Melodic poly rhythms and chord structures define the track from the outset which work neatly with Storey's trademark tight percussion, which sits in that golden spot between bass and electro.
Bringing the tempo up a couple of notches, Grand Rapid lives up to its title. Urgent in nature, it reflects the environment it was created in - crafted on a laptop while speeding through the countryside on a train. Propelled by its ever-present bassline groove, percussive elements speed and whir by in this pacey venture.Finally, Helicat completes the EP, built around the interplay between the main riff and synth percussion elements; from the outset bit-crushed bass drops and pommels out an electro-esque off beat rhythm while the synth line gives its circling answer. Those looking for deeper meaning to the title Helicat can tune into the bubbling sound that rises up midway, which Storey imaginatively describes as "a cat with helicopter wings on its head, taking off." Second Storey - Bismuth EP is out on 29th July on Houndstooth and will be available in both coloured vinyl and digital formats, vinyl limited to 300 for the world.

No schools, no boundaries.

These two styles of music - techno on one side and electroacoustic music on the other - are traditionally pitched against each other. However the two schools have a number of things in common, particularly the way they approach tone and the treatment of sound via electronics. Rebotini, who actually composed for the GRM, has often reaffirmed his admiration for composers like Bernard Parmegiani and Luc Ferrari. As for Zanési, after originally being in awe of Bartok and Stravinsky, he studied under Pierre Schaeffer in the1970s before discovering (rather late) the music of Kraftwerk and Cabaret Voltaire.Sharing the same curiosity for classical, contemporary and electronic music (even noise), the two composers decided to bring together and confront their two styles of music in a shared project called Frontières, first on stage and then in the studio.Over the course of their first live shows, the two musicians began to improvise, varying the intensity and length of the songs, whether playing in a club at 2am or in more traditional surroundings. Since the beginning they have been accompanied by video artist Zita Cochet who composes images to illustrate their tracks and serve as a backdrop to their concerts.

3 of Carl Craigs finest remixes on KMS from his early years.

Contains 3 remixes of Kevin Saunderson work under his Inner City and Esser'ay guises. As always with Carl Craig the quality is top notch and these remixes hark back to a golden period of mid 90's Detroit techno.

After on-going success showcasing events in the capital with heavyweights including Surgeon, Lucy, Xhin, Ryan Elliott & Peter Van Hoesen, London based techno imprint Weekend Circuit returns with another of the cities rising stars.

Dax J takes centre stage for the first vinyl release on the label, and doesn't fail on producing one of his most versatile pieces of work to date following on from his latest 12' on Monnom Black. 'La Haine' EP brings the heat with three tracks filled with atmospheric stabs, dark droning synths and hypnotic drum sequences throughout. Argentinian talent Jonas Kopp, better known for his releases on Ostgut Ton, Electric Deluxe & Stroboscopic Artefacts has been brought in to lead the line and delivers a raw & memorable take of 'La Haine'.

Following acclaimed releases by Jeremiah R and HVL, Organic Analogue is proud to present an extensive new release from a true underground hero of UK electronic music, DJ Guy.

For this latest exploration of Guy's music, Team O/A were keen to represent the full spectrum of his sounds, both stylistically and chronologically, across two different formats as a nod to the decades he has spent immersed in music. Recent releases have focused solely on tracks Guy recorded in the 90s, so they wanted to devote the vinyl part of the release to some of his newer productions.
The tracks on the Structures 12" prove that the same spellbinding atmosphere, swooning melodic content and crafty arrangement flex is as present in Guy's contemporary work as it is in his earliest tape rips. Elements of Drexciyan electro and UK ambient techno can be felt throughout, but they're delivered with an equal dose of ingenuity that is all his own.
As well as his plentiful techno output, Guy equally turned his hand to some crucial experimental jungle over the years. Rhythms 94/99 harks back to the era of Black Secret Technology, Plug and Depth Charge, all phased, diced up amens and dreamy pads that form a link to Guy's 4/4 work while once more demonstrating how on point his productions were at such a seminal time. The tape they have put together contains ten tracks recorded by Guy between 1994 and 1999 as well as an additional remix by White Peak that draws upon all the tracks for source material.
In addition, they wanted to document and explore the fascinating story behind Guy's music in more detail, and so produced an A5 book that features an interview and track notes alongside old flyers and studio photos from the earliest days of Guy's life in music.

"We hope that in some way this serves to document the tireless work of an immensely talented artist who has never created for anything but the most honest of intentions. Even if his incredible productions should have been more widely enjoyed back in the day, at least they're getting the recognition they deserve now."

now finally repressed !!!

Killer ep by these Stockholm audio warriors who smash out their 3rd release on the heavy hitting Tanstaafl. Raw analogue beats for sweating basements around the world. Recommended!

Three different sides of Hodge. An epic grime meets techno banger that can destroy any sound system; a deep sci-fi techno roller and a melancholic house tune. Something for everyone.

Baastards never sleep! So don't think we were napping but just on the hunt to further the Baastard family. Whilst searching Italy we found not one but two Baastards, brothers so it must be genetic.

So finally we are happy to share what we found MATHAME. Matteo and Amedeo are from an art and classical music background. Mathame concept is to explore the compositions of techno as a contemporary translation of a Holy Icon. Studying medieval iconography led the brothers to a method of refining the procedures and practices of monks ( Matteo lived for five years in a kind of secular monasticism practicing mediation, exercise , abstinence and fasting.) Methane produce SONIC ICONS but their work is not devotional.

The remix was done by one of the biggest Baastards we know TRUS'ME. Turning Menhlaio into arse shaking groover with it broken breaks and pounding bridges whilst using the original chords to anthemic results. Already getting support from Klock and Dettmann.

Channeling the energy echoing off dancefloors along his path, Reinier Zonneveld has been on a steady slope rolling out dance igniting productions while touring an intricate live set. Megacity Servant, the artist's third studio effort, stands as a coherent 16-piece techno outfit tinged with experimental tones while playfully deconstructing classic acid and disco fragments. Coming from a classical music background, Reinier's style of production ranges from cavernous powertracks to more concise trips subdued with melancholic piano-stemmed soundscapes, rounding up to a signature sound that is evident as it is enveloping. Plastic People, our intro to Reinier's collective body of work, swiftly introduces a raw techno dungeon mood. Varying elements make for a surrealist atmosphere. Whispered vocals give a soft edge, while the contrast between the upbeat melody and grave stems reiterate its dreamlike character. Following up in the same timbre, a heavy-hitting percussion sets off 8 Ball. The moving bassline is revealed as centerpiece, while faint vocals antagonize the rhythm. Techno mainstay vocalist Cari Golden makes a notable appearance on Things We Might Have Said. Having previously teamed up with sonorous names like Pan Pot, Fur Coat & Coyu, Golden's stellar vocals and skillful lyrics shine paired with Zonneveld's production prowess. The production-vox chemistry is instant, as the track mesmerizes from the get go. Seizing attention for the full length of the track, the entire arrangement seduces the listener, making for a clamorous earworm

Ok where to begin with this one... maybe some bullet points first
- Stalker is a long standing friend from Australia, I met him when I was first starting out on this path and he has always been a guiding light for me.
- More directly he is a key part of the Ruf Kutz sound - Stalker has mastered every Ruf Kutz release
- Somewhere along the way, the word "analogue" has become conflated with the phrase "badly recorded on cassette" - this record hopefully seeks to redress that somewhat
Serious now, Stalker has a back catalogue like you wouldn't imagine - prolific doesn't even begin to describe it. I've picked 3 steamers from his archive, all made on a bunch of really amazing analogue synths and especially mastered for vinyl by stalker himself through his incredible collection of mastering gear. Forget waves l2, we are talking Fairman, TMC, Elysia Alpha & Maselec mla-3. That is the type of analogue we are talking about.
It's hard to believe that this is his first vinyl release. I know it won't be the last.

Originally from Ireland, now living in Toronto, producer and DJ, Neil Mooney, aka Throwin Shapes, developed his wide-ranging sound by immersing himself in Toronto's diverse underground music scene for the last 10 years. Having deejayed at some of the city's most forward-thinking music events, Mooney has now focused his attention on production. Over the eight songs on his debut album, with newly-started, vinyl-only label Religio, Throwin Shapes shows the full and eclectic range of his musical influences, from dub to deep house and acid to techno. Expansive yet intimate, banging while still soulful, percussive and melodic, Pembroke Session LP is music for the late night.

All night long: With its stripped-down kicks, crisp hi-hats, warm keys and plump bassline, this is classic deep house. You'll be mesmerized by the sultry voice intoning you to stay 'all night long.'

Diving Bell: True to its name, this tune is like a transmission from the depths. The chunky bassline, staccato hi-hats and ethereal pads mix to create an atmospheric and abstract late-night vibe. Don't sleep on this one if you're a fan of Keith Worthy, Patrice Scott or quality Detroit house.

Dub flight: Get on board for a slow and absorbing trip to echolandia. This is dreamy dub techno. Generous use of heavy delay on the timbale gives the track a post-carnival after-party feel.

Exercises in Alchemy: Building steadily from a minimal 4/4 beat to a mass of swirling pads and swishy chords, guaranteed to keep any 5 am dancefloor busy. We're talking a good kind of black magic here.

Give it socks: With a future-retro vibe, Give it Socks features a rolling 303 bassline, sharp percussion and a spacey overall texture that will indubitably inspire creative body movement.

Jigtime: This track combines a driving infectious bassline, offbeat percussion, woozy pads and a high-pitched layer of strings to create a sure-fire dancefloor killer!

Morning Comes: A rhythmic and hypnotic take on dub techno, this is the song that you want emanating from the speakers as the sun rises.

Rag order: Starting with a banging drumline and acid-tinged percussion, Rag order evolves to a place of warm atmospheric pads and pristine key stabs.

Envisaging a trustworthy approach to sound, French DJ and producer Voiski has steadily built a name for himself in contemporary left-field dance music. He took a singular path in techno, oscillating between experimental projects and signature sound dance floor material. The Parisian brings his versatile skills together on the third installment of Dekmantel's UFO series, serving up five completely different yet coherent sounding tracks.
.
The beat lacking ambient synth jam 'Go To A Mountain' is a display of Voiski's ear for mesmerizing soundscapes, while the pulsating, Nintendocore fuelled 'Happy Piece' and the dark, bass-heavy 'Seriously No' are two peak-time beasts. On the B-side, 'Come Back' gives you a glimpse of what the future of techno sounds like, whereas 'Drama In the Futuristic Cabinet' echoes Hi Tech Soul gone breakbeat. Welcome to the Dekmantel family, Voiski!

Under the stewardship of Alan Fitzpatrick, 8 Sided Dice Recordings continues to maintain its reputation as one of the most consistent techno labels to emerge in recent times thanks to a steady stream of well-received releases. The label operates as both a home for high profile artists and an outlet for emerging talent; striking a balance between output from Fitzpatrick and that of his contemporaries, including contributions from Rich Jones, Chris Colburn, ON/OFF, Harvey McKay, Hans Bouffmyhre and Nicole Moudaber.

Established in 2008 as a vehicle for Alan Fitzpatrick to release his own music, 8 Sided Dice has evolved on an impressive trajectory in line with Fitzpatrick's own career. Recognised as one of the most exciting talents to emerge from UK in recent times, Fitzpatrick's brand of infectious, modern techno has propelled him towards the upper echelons of the scene and has encouraged an impressive list of legendary techno talent - Cari Lekebusch, Joey Beltram and Slam - to grant their endorsement to 8 Sided Dice.

Having made his debut on 8 Sided Dice in April, Bryan Chapman makes a welcome return to the label with his latest EP, entitled 'Glitched Exit'. A big hit with the likes of Luke Slater, Adam Beyer, Jerome Sydenham and Cari Lekebusch all supporting and followers of 8 Sided Dice loving the heavy-weight funk and industrial darkness of his music. Elsewhere, Bryan has added to the production currency generated from his EP's for Jon Gurd's Primal Rhythm label and Dustin Zahn's Enemy Records.

Forever Sound is an attempt to make simple, cyclic dance music unbound by metre where melodies and basslines phase against one another like comets around a distant sun: a slow wave on a boundless sea. "Geist" sets about to express that moment when a dancefloor stops being a mass of independent bodies and instead becomes one connected, moving spirit, while "The Fold"
pours waves of cascading synth warmth around the istener.

After four top-class releases, ENVLP sets its 2016 return with John Barera, the Brooklyn artist that steadly drove its sounds through space and stars with blissful sonorities and elegant productions. After many records on labels as Metters Labels, John delivers a four track EP that brings a personal interpretation of the Detroit sound elevated by Johns unique skills and strong personality.
Starting with the celestial Mission Mode, we go through the masterful Pattern Theory and the catching I Can See For Miles until we reach the different notes of Cloud Nine: so many change of the directions that show the extreme versatility and talent of John Barera.
A record that is a must buy for all the Detroit heads who have strong feelings to people like Juan Atkins and Vince Watson.
Waiting for the next journey on the ENVLP mothership

After several acclaimed releases on revered labels such as Sharingtones, Lenta continues to develop his own sound with this release while joining Eau Régale.

Martijn Deijkers is a man of many facets: The Dutch-born now Washington D.C.- based artist and Panorama Bar resident started DJing in the 90s, producing in the noughties, released on labels such as Ninja Tune, Warp Records or Steffi's DollyDubs amongst many others as well as his own 3024 imprint - always with a unique, distinctive sound, nestled somewhere between 2-step, House, Dubstep and Garage. After having remixed Shed's "Another Wedged Chicken" (2009) and contributed "Miniluv" to Ben Klock's Berghain 04 (2010) we're happy to finally offer a Martyn solo 12" release on Ostgut Ton. Falling For You starts with the almost ten minute-long track of the same title: Opening with a major piano motif and some field recordings from along the road the A-side picks up momentum through its luscious Garage-inspired rhythm, bubbling synth bleeps, organic percussion and more subtle yet stirring piano motifs. Berliners may be familiar with Kreuzberg's 'Kotti' and its converging trains U1 and U8 - let's say it's a fascinating, multiculti yet rough place. The same goes for "U1-U8" on B1: a slightly darker offering with syncopated melody, hihats, claps and sampled shehnai sounds sitting atop the hollow kick. "Ahmadiya" closes this release with a rather pensive-tempered synth, string elements, beguiling piano strokes and a more break-heavy vibe. Winter may be coming by the time of release, but this record has club-meets-afterhour-meets-summer's-day written all over it.

London's DEXT Recordings continue to strengthen their catalogue adding to originals and remixes from Dubspeeka & Visionz, Komon & Appleblim and Bodyjack with their latest offering from the Manchester based Oli Furness backed up by Clone mainstay Alden Tyrell. This, the third release up on DEXT carries the same raw brawn as its predecessors and is a rattling meld of Jungle, UK Techno and House.


Throughout his previous releases on NDV, Morris Audio and his own Music Is Love imprint, Oli Furness has astutely touched many bases whilst drawing for the tape driven kicks, nifty sampling and intricate drum work that have been his calling card since the off. His 'Decisions' EP brings these tools together and opens with the title track that drives a thunderous kick under crunching stabs and a starkly contrasting vocal sample. 'Jungle Book' then sets a hefty break tumbling towards the introduction of a thick, flexing sub and bubbling synth patterns.


Next up, Dutch master Alden Tyrell adds to a catalogue that reaches right back to 1999 and weighs in with a stripped and burly revision of 'Decisions'. Powerful analogue hats are set crashing over a concrete kick and cavernous stabs before 'Let It Go' snowballs behind a classic break that gathers a jagged synth pattern and 90's vocal samples that are sure to send the floor into rapture.

* Crepuscular, infrasonic hydro-acoustics submerge padding rhythms, emerging gradually through oscillations and the caustic snarl of static, into a mutant echo chamber of polyrhythmic hypnosis and fractal bleeps to be finally swept away by vast, billowing swathes of spectral harmonics.

* 'Emboli', on the Solar Side is a new track written specially for Khemia by the enigmatic sound artist Rrose.

* Cascades of iridescent particles coruscate against the shadow of an ominous dirge, crashing into a wall of slurred rhythm that opens into a glacial abyss, punctuated by a fearfully insistent whiplash that finally dissolves into a quantum field of bituminous drones.

Clear Vinyl Pressing!
Tired of just rumbling low ends and mindless battering, Stefan Vincent points us in a more melodic direction. A rather melancholic and dystopian one, showing off his understanding of harmonics and tone sections. These compositions in Minor and Major hint towards equally feeling, futuristic atmospheres in which human kind is more and more affected by its unsatisfiable hunger for technology and perfection. Guided by the terrifying beauty of this vision, Stefan takes us on a four track tour through this world. A world in which we will have become merely observers of ourselves and we can only be let down. We can only watch as we rise towards being doubtful sentients. We can only listen as we wait for the machines to catch up with us.

Tension has the goal to reach the maximum level of sonic enlightenment of the sound.
The most important thing of all is the sound, not the words, not the background, and nor even the people.
Tension is the former project of one single man named Emmanuel.(100101/Start of Heading).

Limited to 150 - be fast to secure your copy! - no repress. Lower Parts is a Greek label involved in music, fashion, art and multimedia projects and it has been since 2013. After starting by showcasing lots of local talent, next up on the label is international talent Andreas Gehm aka Elec Pt1, who gets remixed by Damcase and Anoplois. German Andreas is an acid and techno innovator who has released on Mathematics and Chiwax and here comes correct with two great new cuts.

First up, Universe is a busy, mind altering track with cold, serene chords front and centre and manic synths gurgling about in the background. Funky and weird, abstract but colourful, it's a truly fresh track that will make for plenty of WTF moments on the 'floor. 'I Don't Care' is a more traditional deep acid cut, but still the textures and hooks are odd and occult, standing the track apart from the crowd. The acid is increasingly energetic throughout and manages to sound both clean and crisp and dirty and naughty at the same time.

Remixing 'Universe', Anopolis are a collective of four Thessaloniki based producers who recently released a well received debut album. Their version of the track is all reflective surfaces and sprightly drums with plenty of groove electro overtones tied up within. Live specialist and hardware man Damcase is a greek guy currently living and working as a sound engineer at Roodkapje Rotterdam. His remix of 'I Don't Care' is deep and bubbly, littered with sci-fi signifiers and grows increasingly untuned throughout.

This is an inventive package from the Greek label that suggest they are well worth keeping an eye on.

Meandyou returns with their fifth instalment, this time presenting the first solo EP by Matthew Mullane, aka Fabric, the Edition Mego and Spectrum Spool affiliate, and Meandyou mainstay.

Fabric's 'Curiosity Model EP' delivers more of the American producer's dubbed out and immersive electronics, in addition to a development towards the dance floor with the inclusion of 4/4 drum signatures.

Mullane has previously released an LP on Spectrum Spools, 'A Sort Of Radiance', and appeared on two various artist EPs for Meandyou. He has also recorded as Non Group, and is currently writing the liner notes for a vast Keiji Haino reissue series.'

Baum presents it´s first Various Artists EP, with two new artists and two label regulars.
Leftover and label owner Resoe, who delivers two steady powerful Dub Techno cuts.
Expect the usual deepness that will make the sub speakers bleed...
The two new additions on Baum brings a fresh twist two the EP, Stefan Gubatz of Telrae fame comes with a really beautiful track with a laidback groove. Ryo Murakami the owner of Pan records is a diverse producer, and this time his track is Experimental Dub.
All together this is a fantastic EP from the four producers.
Limited to 300 copies.

Moudaber goes deep.... Yes, our beloved MOOD leader returns home with her latest single and a track that may surprise some, as Nicole gets her Dub on.

Known for her fierce and electrifying prime time sets and powerful personal productions, Nicole is equally adept and at home building the floor and atmosphere from the very first beat. New single, Her Dub Material, is the perfect soundtrack for those early hours and takes influence from Nicole's love for deep, warm, fathomless bass. Mysterious and yet inviting, Her Dub Material is built upon an unswerving groove. Strong, elegant and hypnotic.

Staying true to the original whilst enticing with his own percussive flair is Argentinian producer Guti. Spanish sensation Marino Canal, fresh from his own full release on MOOD, mesmerises with his own steady tempo and synth laden breaks, before Alex Tepper closes the mix package by upping the ante further, whilst never losing the original's groove.

2016 REPRESS !

12yrs on from it's original release - this absolute classic rises again from Newworldaquarium in Ross 154 mode! TIP!
here's the original press release:
The second release on the M>O>S record label could have been part of Hollands rich techno-history, if released when the tracks where made. Dating back as early as 1993, these two tracks come straight out of a plastic bag full of SA90 tapes in Ross154s bathroom (thats where he plays his music LOUD) and a cardboard box filled with cassettes rediscovered while moving Aroy Dee into his way too expensive spacious loft in the historical centre of Amsterdam.

Anyway, it all fell into place on a Christmas-diner last year at NWAQ-headquarters where these gems hit the speakers throwing Peel into a manic fit and Aroy jump out the front door puking his guts out in a format which would have made the Pizza Hut sue for copyright reasons. Fortunately, this wasnt about the music but about the chef, and all was forgiven in the end. It took some effort to polish these tracks so they could be released (I dont think Dexter will talk to us ever again) but here they are, bright and shiny!

Till my heart stops is probably the older of the two, and has survived the humid environment of the mystical washing facilities rather well. I guess he likes to shower long, but never too long. Kaoz is a small part of the now infamous My old piano sessions at the hangout of Haarlem DJ-collective Kaoz Connection, which where heavily inspired by KLF, The Orb and J-J-J-jack fever. Named after the always-present Diana Ross evergreen My old piano on 33rpm these sets they were a pretty mad mix of live electronics and odd tunes, and always ended in either a neighbourhood riot or a civilized police-request. Unfortunately most of these sets are lost forever, but somehow someone managed to press record while the 154 was doing some serious knob twisting.
Too keep it short, heres some old shit for new times. Enjoy!

Shinedoe kicks off 2011 with dance floor attitude, so ´ Bring it On!

Deathday (formerly Deathday Party) is a Los Angeles based Experimental Post-punk band, formed in Santa Ana, California in 2008 by brothers Alex Guillén and Giovanni Guillén.
Previous incarnations of the group can be traced back to Santa Ana's Koo's scene of the late 1990's. While the title-track is an unreleased one, instead "Dropped Into Obscurity" was already included in the Downwards compilation "Click Heels" alongside with Tropic Of Cancer, Silent Servant, The KVB. On the B side Mannequin asked to the synth-master Legowelt to remix After Dark".

Seldom has the post-punk revival seemed as urgent as with Deathday, who match their guitar driven dirges with esoteric industrial soundscapes and tape manipulation. Their music is often as bleak as it is violent, with low end cacophony bludgeoning the listener into submission. Lyrically, Deathday often invoke the violent culture hidden beneath the media, as well as explore the crippling aftershocks of isolation and the mysticism of the occult.

Comparisons, for those who prefer them, could easily be made to the likes of Throbbing Gristle and Suicide's uncompromising attitude and primal infrastructure, but the band has equal roots in forgotten post-punk favorites such as Nagamatzu, Venus In Furs, and Joy of Life, creating a powerful hybrid exploring the darkest and most hypnotic corners of the spectrum.

Known as Deathday Party until 2011, the band's self-titled cassette, released in early 2012, exists as a cold snapshot of their formative material, while both 'After Dark' and 'Dropped Into Obscurity,' released on Mannequin's The End of Civilaztion and Downward's So Click Heels compilations respectively, offer a club-friendly alternative. While neither track compromises the band's dark overtones, these tracks are ripe for the dance floor, having garnered heavy play in LA, New York, and Berlin especially. With a handful of releases on the horizon for 2013, including a split with Bestial Mouths, a vinyl reissue of their self-titled debut, and new material to follow, the future is looking uncharacteristically bright for Deathday.

In March of 2006 the brothers Guillén participated in Glenn Branca's 'Symphony #13 (Hallucination City)' for 100 guitars in Los Angeles.

STEVE POINDEXTER & JAMAL MOSS here with THANKS 4 THE TRACKS VOL 2 from the lost track series. This will not leave you guessing what this whole series is about and what's to come. Not for the faint at heart of newbies. Get familiar.

Factory Floor return in 2016 with 25 25, their second album for DFA and the follow up to their hugely acclaimed 2013 self-titled debut. With their music stripped to a mesmerising dance of percussion, fragmented voice and melody, 25 25 captures the next vital stage in the evolution of one of the UK's most restless and exploratory groups.
Following the release of their debut album Factory Floor in 2013, the band - consisting of Nik Void and Gabriel Gurnsey - slimmed down to a duo. Having already boiled the scorched textures of their early singles down into their debut's hallucinatory club-not-club stomp, they both seized the opportunity to voyage further along the pathway, mixing the album with razor-sharp precision via David Wrench (FKA Twigs, Caribou).
Inspired by playing a growing number of late night club shows, the pair's music gradually evolved into the sound captured on their second album and in their current live incarnation: a stark, ultra-minimalist and eerily soulful dancefloor pulse, yet one that still bears Factory Floor's unmistakable hallmarks of hypnotic repetition and jagged, punkish intensity.

"I KNOW U HAVE WINGS" EP feats 4 tracks from one of MATHEMATICS' main artists, GIORGIO LUCERI. A serious deep textured beating EP for the serious dance floor movers and shakers. Think early FRAGILE or PLANET E. Channeling the sound of the early 90s.

auf seinen jüngsten Remix von Terence Fixmers Aktion Mekanik Theme (Ostgut Ton, 2015) lässt der 24-jährige Berliner vier sorgfältig erarbeitete Tracks folgen, es ist seine erste reguläre Veröffentlichung auf Ostgut Ton.

Mit 91 konzentriert sich Kobosil auf einen stärker musikalischen Ansatz und präsentiert Stücke mit ähnlicher Stimmung und muskulösen Eindruck, statt unterschiedliche Stile und Ästhetiken zu bedienen: Der hypnotische Synth-Puls und die betörenden Strings in - Avernian schweben über einem berauschenden, dunklen Four-to-the-floor-Beat, - Konvergent setzt auf eine gedoppelte Kickdrum mit satten Claps und ein bis zur Unkenntlichkeit verzerrtes Vocal, - Per glänzt mit einer gänzlich schnörkellosen Atmosphäre und mit einer trockenen Dampfhammer-Drum. Nur das Interlude - Athtar geht mit Drone-Klängen, Noise-Sprenklern und tiefschwarzen, stark bearbeiteten Vocalsamples völlig eigene Wege.

Mit nur einer Handvoll veröffentlichter Platten in zwei kurzen Jahren mag es wirken, als habe Kobosil seine kreative Basis als versatiler DJ und Produzent mit klarem Akzent auf düstere Technoderivate und einem Faible für Noise-, Industrial- und Ambient-Texturen bereits definiert. Der Grundton scheint gesetzt, dabei kommt noch viel mehr - sein Debütalbum erscheint im November 2015 auf Ostgut Ton.

The label Bond is the brainchild of Swedish techno DJ and producer Petter B. The concept of the label is 'music by DJs for DJs'. The label focuses on releasing tracks that enable the DJ,
rather than the producer, to be creative. It is based on that special bond which is created every time a DJ combines tracks, loops and
sounds live into something new and unique.
This third release is a three-track EP made by Petter B himself. On the A-side there is the track 'Belgian Green' witch is an exercise in
percussion, rhythmic delays and peak time energy. On the flip there is the track 'Vacuus void'. It is a track made to create that
feeling of vacuum in the soundscape. It has long rises and predictable drops, always ending up with only the essentials of the
groove left. Tool02 is also built around a repetitive pattern of rises and drops. An atonal banger that is perfect to create mixpoints on
the fly with. It also has a forward momentum that can be applied to any track that lacks one.
Part of the release has already been played and supported by Adam Beyer, Joseph Capriati, Cari Lekebusch and Joel Mull. Big thanks for your continuous support!

Covered by water
I search for an escape
from these tightening walls,

Far laughs confuse me, and
I see the shadows of pedestrians
over me, unarmed,

In vain I try an handhold
but I'm absorbed always more,
I do not find an escape,

one last inhalation,
divides me from the death given to me,

no more footsteps, no more shadows,
no more laughs, no more water,

One thunderous, gentle, Rustle
dries out each one of my tears of desperation,
the eyes get closed, already white because of the cold.

Dark Rose is back with the first V/A of the label,
based on the Argentinean upcoming techno talents, Zedje, Matt Saderlan and Julixo in co-operation with the Argentinean Barcelona based rising techno star Flug (CL Recordings).
Tones of energy in this one!!!

"undying pieces" is the debutalbum of the german producer ascon bates.
ascon bates released technomusic since the late 90s on different labels
like hard-rec-audio, mindjacking, 9volt-musik, drug machine inc.,ritus,
credo, solid rush,... and so on.... he did remixes for asem shama (from
vanguard),
alex bau, alex kork and many more.....
his focus was and still is straight dancemusic for the floor. so it is
quiet normal,
that his debutalbum consists only of tunes for the solid deejay. the
influences
in the trax can not be overlooked: native detroit sounds between chicago
styled
drumpatterns, thats the hypnotic essence of the typical music made by
ascon bates.
so enjoy and push that masterpiece straight through the floors of your
clubs.

First Vinyl only EP of the Italian Berlin based Techno producer Avgusto on his own Label GRIND. A wax with 4 tracks
ranging from straight forward pounding DJ tools or Berghain peaktime influenced track to dark broken beats. Avgusto
proofed himself as a proper Vinyl-only DJ around Berlin and Europe and his releases get played my many credible
Techno acts on a regular bases - def. someone to watch and follow if you are into rough, dark and uncompromising
Techno.

First release for I.vy on her own label Chinese laundry.
The delicate task is entrusted to the producer, which presents herself for the first time ever with a release of her own, not surprisingly titled "Vol I" .
A careful work, a well illustrated journey, where the four cardinal points are 4 originals marked by a bass line sound that seems to come from a TB 303 just dusted off by a deposit of Mr. Ikutaro Kakehashi .

To accompany the wave generated by the rampant synthesizer in the furrows of the pvc, fits perfectly a drum machine that sometimes cuddles the groove, as in the case of Blue Lanternes with a precise hihat. and on the other hand, reappears gritty and intense as in Dragon Head, where the synth sound becomes more acute and clear; and here its appropriate to say, "devastated" by a filter with unmistakable acid reference.
To enrich the collection is the A2 side, Straw Sandals, which acts as a bridge to the other side (more aggressive). Track set with a repeating unique mood, but perfectly modulate.
Four possible choices, each with its own soul.

Lovers Rock Recordings celebrates its tenth release with another lush compilation featuring tracks by three core members of the LR family and newcomer Gunnar Haslam. Opener Vacation' by Ital sees the label boss crafting a supple DJ weapon out of a lysergic sonic ecosystem. The rapidly-maturing DJ Wey returns to the fold under his DJ Python alias with Amazonia,' an ambient bomb that allows a deceptively simple hook to lilt across a thumping reggaeton rhythm. Gunnar Haslam makes his LR debut with Vector No Campo,' blending modular acid and perfectly crunched electro drums. Finally Sleeper Cell close out with the shimmering, haunting V.' The first LR release of 2016, LR no.10 exemplifies the label's ethos and sound while pointing to the future, with EPs by Ital & Halal, Yoshinori Hayashi and others slated for later in the year.

LORD TUSK makes his vinyl debut with 'The Natural Partnership EP' the first in a series of releases on the newly minted LEVELS imprint.

A veteran of London's underground as a selector, Lord Tusk's influences run deep: electro, hip-hop, old jack swing, film scores, p-funk, roots & culture and dub. A devotee of sound system culture and martial arts, both are reflected in his approach to music making which is free of restrictions.

There are no specific tempos, genre limitations or fixed methods he works by. With Lord Tusk it is all about sensation, emotion, stimulation and inspiration from the sounds, instruments and effects.

These are raw sounds for the big speakers, with early support from Benji B (Radio One), Lakuti and Tama Sumo (Panorama Bar).

Following the release of 2015's Animistas album on Mindtours, Steevio returns with the fourth and final volume in the Modular Techno series after starting the project in 2012.
Initially conceived as he moved his studio practice towards a purely outboard, analogue, modular synthesiser set up, the Modular Techno series has charted the development of Steevio's exploration of this working practice both on record and on stage. The work involved in live appearances across the UK and Europe over the past four years have fed into the creative process, with rehearsals for sets often yielding the material that has ended up on vinyl.
Volume 4 is arguably the darkest instalment in the series to date, dealing in a strict economy of minimalist rhythms and off-key melodic touches while still easily identified as the unmistakable tones and distinctive grooves of Steevio. In the grand tradition of techno as visionary music, the dystopian tone that lingers throughout Modular Techno Vol 4 points to a future of uncertainty, but this is far from nihilistic music; always within the darkness remains a glimmer of hope.

Sampler #2 from the Global Communication 'Back In The Box' compilation album, the techno and ambient retrospective selected by Tom Middleton and Mark Pritchard, back together again after a 15 year hiatus.

Contra Communem Opinionem shortly CCO, own name Florin Büchel is the pure acid lover from Zürich. He has debuted on Mathematics records in 2008 and since then he has been quite active with several releases on Lux Records and few other brands. There is a strong analogue character in his music based on 808 or 707 beats seasoned with melancholic pads, melodies and already mentioned acid lines. He is also involved in Savage Ground project formed by him and Daniel Cosmo. This is 'Space Race' from melodic electro through overdrive madness to drone beats. It comes with remix from man behind Endless Illusion, Layup.

Crystal Structures brings together two very special people for this, our second release. AUBREY and MARK AMBROSE, some of you might have heard about these guys, and if not, shame on you. Proper legends on the british scene, one of the most prolific producers to date, regulars on labels such as MOSAIC, CRAYON (Mark's own imprint) and SOLID GROOVE. Need we say more Just that they both made two outstanding remixes, standing proudly side by side to a testament to the UK house scene. Vinyl Speed Adjust - Phrase.

A year after his debut album "Viaggi", Amsterdam based italian Marco Antonio Spaventi is back with another fine full length statement. Entitled "Isola Sommersa" and landing on M>O>S Recordings, it follows up after many great EPs on the label over the last five years.
Spaventi has a passion for old school house but always brings it up to date. Using hardware tools like a natural extension of his body, he cooks up rugged grooves, nostalgic moods and smoky atmospheres that cocoon you in sound of its own. As well as releasing on other labels like Slow Motion, Secretsundaze, Pizzico Records and Cos_Mos, he is also an acclaimed production wizard and runs his own professional studio.
Long the way here, Spaventi dips his toes into various waters with equal success. There are spaced out and invitingly warm grooves such as the rubbery 'Tape Noodles', blissful ambient interludes like 'Undisclosed' and serene synth passages filled with retro future beauty such as the closer 'Titanic Moments.' Cuts like 'Simple Mind' prove this artist can conjure up genuine feelings of internal reflection as well as raw physical drum lines, and 'Best Regards' is a tantalisingly go slow bit of cosmic house that erupts into a fluid acid track.
Though Chicago and Detroit are obvious reference points, Spaventi always develops his own ideas with a refreshing vibe. It makes for an album that is house at its heart, but also one that is ambitious, absorbing and widescreen in the way it is executed.

KICKMASOMAASS is back with another record. One more time with creme dela creme from Hardgroove Techno music scene. Back To The Roots EP is bringing you four tracks. One original version from Andy BSK and three remixes from Wyrus, DJ Brutec and Norman Andretti aka Quarill. All four tracks are definitely worth to listen and the money you pay for it. Thanks for all support. Enjoy!

MRT release number four is a relentlessly loud outcry. Bruno Belluomini delivered three overwhelming techno pieces that dive into rough, violent, dirty waters.
The EP is fast and unforgiving, and if one lets it, it will take one down and never let go. The outcome is clear, as it is well known, we all did terrible things to survive.

Hotflush's remix series continues in style with fresh interpretations of Dense & Pika's 'Colt' and 'Airless'. The UK techno duo's slamming main-room originals are still hot properties, but in the hands of George FitzGerald and Grain they get new life and perspective breathed into them.

George FitzGerald is the Berlin based Brit who made a big impact with his bass heavy tunes on labels like Aus and Hotflush before getting snapped up by a Domino offshoot Double Six for his acclaimed debut album earlier this year. He returns to Hotflush in grand style with a remix of the now-classic cut 'Colt'. Uplifting and replete with the inimitable tropes on which he has made his name - emotion and groove in equal measure - FitzGerald revitalises the original's unforgettably forlorn piano hook. The second remix comes from Grain aka influential and multifaceted producer, Artwork. This is an old alias of his that makes a stomping return. His take on Airless is an exquisitely boisterous techno roller: heavyweight kicks, lively ticks and some serious main-room heft.

Desonanz is a new project of Frederik Hatsav (Metalogic) and Marcus C. Maichel (The Delta, X-Dream). By combining their outstanding production skills, those two geniuses manage to produce an EP which is truly outstanding and simply mind-blowing. With Desonanz, the two masterminds focus on the deep exploration of dark and progressive
soundscapes and they deliver 3 rolling and driving dancefloor-killers made for the peaktime

King Cheetah is new shining star from the Motor City. The new release is 3 tracks inspired from techno vinyl digging in the late 90s. A time when music was a lot more simple and focused on a vibe through the use hardware limitations. Though, its King Cheetah's first official release, he has been making music for over 20 years in seclusion on the West side of Detroit. Finally, after almost a year of negotiation, we've struck a chord and are able to present this release!

We also celebrate the first release of Light Body Works. Light Body Works is a music label who doesn't claim any city as its own since its irrelevant these days. The intention is to release club music that both induces hypnotic states through repeating melodic movements and straight rhythm patterns.

The Bunker New York is proud to announce the second EP from Mehmet Irdel, also known as Løt.te (pronounced Loat-tey), following his debut release on our label in 2014.
Løt.te's 'History of Discipline' EP features two distinct moods and detailed, industrial-inspired sound design with a firm focus on the dancefloor.

"When I discovered the heavy, dark techno coming out of the U.K. and Japan in the '90s and '00s, like Regis, Surgeon, Female, and Takaaki Itoh, it was a revelation," Irdel says. "Until then, I hadn't realized that techno could reference the grittiness and physicality of industrial music and make it work so well, and feel natural on the dancefloor." These muscular, upbeat techno artists are the perfect reference point for Løt.te's music, but Irdel takes his work one step further, featuring an emotional complexity that many other producers lack. "I'm interested in techno that feels both masculine and feminine at the same time," says Irdel. "These days, most techno feels either very intricate and clean, or very noisy and macho. What interests me is finding an in-between."

True to its name, "History of Discipline" is the darker track here. Built on a foundation of heavy, swinging kick drums and shuffling hi-hats, the track builds to an enormous climax before winding down into a rattle of metallic percussion. "A Mutable Constant" is more ambiguous, featuring a rubbery bassline and steadily-building background percussion - until a moody, longing synthesizer pad begins to take center stage. "I don't honestly know where the emotion in 'A Mutable Constant' came from. That wasn't the plan when I started working on it," recalls Irdel, "but I incorporate a mix of analog synths into my productions, like the Korg MS-20 or Doepfer Dark Energy, and their sounds sometimes surprise me. My production process begins and ends with a computer, but I love being able to have that '90s analog sound' in my work. I'm very conscious of not having any 'overly digital' sounds in my tracks."

Løt.te's latest EP embodies the spirit of techno while simultaneously pushing its sound forward. "Techno, for me, is an experiment in human perception. A way to find the fringes of perception in rhythm, melody, and emotion, to push all the way to the edge, to find the breaking point. I'm trying to push techno's boundaries without ever losing sight of 'what makes techno techno': its restraint and groove."

OTB records aims to present a unique exploratory sound that will frequently push the boundaries of techno. It will produce futuristic music with nostalgic feelings that is focused on the dance-floor.

For more than a decade, The Bunker New York has been a nexus point for the transnational techno community.
A chance meeting at The Bunker in 2011 brought together Gunnar Haslam and Johannes Auvinen (also known as Tin Man), who became fast friends and collaborators soon after, conceiving a joint project called Romans. The Bunker New York is proud to present Romans' Ambulare Aude, a collection of atmospheric acid techno tracks following the project's debut on Auvinen's own Global A in 2014."The Roman theme opens a world to explore beyond both of our past endeavours," says Auvinen, explaining
the conceptual genesis of the collaboration. "In the same way Ennio Morricone may have conceived the 'Spaghetti Western' genre by fusing together various contemporary motifs and moods to conjure the spirit of a past era, we're imagining stories and scenes from the Roman era, trying to manifest narratives while celebrating the distortions we see looking through the murky lens of time." And while Morricone may be a conceptual reference point for Romans, their sound is anything but—instead offering up a pair of murky, psychedelic acid-etched cuts (Emona, Delmenium) buffered by a gradually unfolding up-tempo floor-burner
(Coptos).
The record is the result of several extended improvisational jam sessions in Vienna and Brooklyn in which both
artists would play off of each other in the studio. Accordingly, each of the three tracks have a slight aleatory
air about them, as though both artists are being led down an unforeseen musical path, not entirely certain of
where it leads. This culminates in Delmenium, the record's B-side, a true techno journey, featuring an emotional, metallic synthesizer coruscating against a melancholy background.
"I like to think what we make sounds simultaneously like both of us and neither of us. We both push each other
in different ways," Haslam says, recounting their production process. Auvinen adds that "(Collaboration) offers a chance to hear from someone else's perspective. Working with others, I'm often reminded of how radically different the way people hear things, and relate to them in a musical context, can be."

Over the past 20 years, genevan duo SINNER DC has built a solid yet discreet reputation on the international electronic music scene. Their ethereal intergalactic yet catchy melodies, full on emotions and melancholy, became throughout the years the band's trademark. Co-published by the prestigious Museum of Ethnography of Geneva and swiss renowned Mental Groove Records, this first album entitled MEG/CDG inaugurates a new series of CDs devoted to contemporary compositions sourced from the monumental audio archives of the Museum (read below*). MEG / CDG's backbone contains music from Romania, Niger and southern United States, from the mid 30's to the early 50's that the genevan duo Sinner selected while browsing the museum database . MEG / CDG is a kaleidoscopic album and a scenic trip - the title of the album and the songs are of IATA airport codes and explores the limits of the panoramic vision of the duo through hypnotic landscapes and imaginary places. Sinner DC will next deliver a new album entitled "Maps" co writtent with Pete Kember, legendary founder of the influential late 80's psychedelic band Spacemen 3 and most recently producer for Panda Bear and Mgmt.

The latest broadcast by the prolific Pomona California duo, hot on the heels of their excellent release for Opal Tapes.

1st pressing of 500 copies in limited embossed sleeve & 180g Vinyl
Bubbling with melodic intention Julian's foundation of deep bass drives us all forward in repetitions that hold fast in our minds & memories.

Maar, the duo of Michael Vallera (Immune's Cleared and solo works in Opal Tapes) and Joseph Clayton Mills (Haptic), returns with Absolute Delay. The title, defined as the interval between transmission and reception of a signal, encapsulates their aesthetic of fissures, broken patterns, and spatial dislocation. Expanding on the palette that characterized their debut Ceto (Umor Rex 2014), Maar draws even more deeply on their influences—in particular, the warped atmospherics of dub and the severity of minimalist composition—to create something that defies easy classification. Translucent drones and traces of field recordings are deployed to create shifting degrees of focus, while flickering electronics are pieced together in a disorienting mosaic

VINYL ONLY, 180G

Lucky Light LTD is vinyl only techno label founded in Belgrade, Serbia by a young talent Speedy. His coworker on this first release, somebody who's known to worldwide audience, based in Berlin, Alexander Kowalski is opening this release with his remix of Speedy's track False Theory. D_func, who made this remix, is the project of Alexander and represents his new way of techno production. Serious theme of this remix, with usage of heavy hi hats and hooks, is bringing up together all qualities of Alex's musical abilities. Massive peak-time track good for dynamic sets! After that, on this release, you can find original version of track named False Theory. Slow opening with kicks followed by tomes and with shake loop is quickly transforming, into technoid drive. Repetitive Synth and FX part carry this song to break where the track is going to lay down a bit which is later followed by one dynamic breaking-in of the main theme. At the end we have False Theory in Speedy's Lucky 13 Rework remix. The main theme of the original here is also present, but with different approach to dynamics. Massive break followed by rush of kicks and snare parts which, simply said, break the rhythm and make excellent euphoric moments. Played and supported by: Marco Bailey, Cari Lekebusch, Alexander Kowalski, Ben Sims, Dave Clarke, Gary Beck, Mark Broom, Markantonio, Luigi Madonna, Alan Fitzpatrick, Petar Dundov, Cristian Varela, Slam, Marko Nastic, Mladen Tomic, Dejan Milicevic, Tom Hades, Billy Nasty....

The Analog Roland Orchestra will start a new series with PATTERNS 1 - 2. He is using only CV Gate, Trigger Signals, intern sequencers and arpeggiators, chord memory and transpose buttons. You will find each pattern on the label of the vinyl.

Deto & Gleam is back with a massive piece of modern Dub Techno. The 180 g limited transparent vinyl comes with 2 tracks. Eerie sounds cutting through the dense atmosphere and the instruments are detecting signals
(Hint: Side B is especially laid back at 33 RPM)

This up and coming producer is already a legend amongst the crew of techno freaks in Brooklyn. With previous releases on local imprint Lovers Rock, and releases slated for Proibito and Exotic Dance under the the aliases DJ Python and DJ Xanax, DJ Wey aka Brian Pinyero has contributed a massive 12' to BANK Records. The A Side Song for Masahiro' is dedicated to Masahiro Ueda, a DJ and friend who graced the BK scene by way of Japan. It's a bass heavy tune with melodic pads floating in the forefront amongst the occasional cheering sample. It's perfect for either opening or closing a set midsummer. In contrast, the B Side opens with Flow On.' With its distorted kicks, relentless claps and hypnotic bells one could imagine hearing it on a nightmarish carnival ride...fit that into a set. The record ends on an electro tip with spaced out pads, backwards samples and classic electro style drum patterns. Distinct in sound and diverse in approach, don't sleep on the homie DJ Wey

Our 8th release comes from a true unsung, underground hero of the Australian electronic music sub-strata.

A 6 track EP of unheard, unreleased archival tracks taken from Ewan "Red Ember" Jansen's vast DAT collection spanning the period 1999 - 2004.

The Red Ember story is fascinating, a true DIY operation releasing the deepest House and techno sounds on super limited lathe cut discs throughout the nineties and early noughties. Ewans heritage as a producer runs deep with him catching the attention of various Detroit and US based labels with his own melodic, unique take on House/Techno leading to releases that today that still sound super-fresh and are highly sought after.

"Lost Embers" runs the line from sparse, lo-fi hypnotic House, to downer Ambient to epic, true school Detroit laced Techno.

We are very proud to be releasing this record and we'd like to thank Ewan for his openness and generosity regarding this project, and to Alex Egan of Utter for his fantastic design contribution. Thank you!

Hot on the heels of their recent twelve from Tilman and Florist, Charmin Records are very excited to be motoring onto their third release with this excellent VA bringing in material from new friends of the label. The East German imprint expand their sound to take in rougher techno, acid, and also more hypnotic and spacious territory. The artists on the roster are label founder Florist, Stanley Schmidt, Matt Thibideau and Billy Dalessandro and the result is a diverse excursion that stays true to the core ethos of the label.
