Techno Vinyl New Releases - News

Distorted Sensory Perception is a platform showcasing honest, forward thinking sonics. Hailing its roots in weird, wonderful analogue techno, electro and progressive forms of electronic music that have something real to say. DSP's first transmission is a 5 track Various Artist release. An emotive electro EP Varying in speed, mood and style. Featuring tracks from Gilbert, Mindless Evolving Objects, Datawave, Zobol & Nikolay Sunak.

The ¡rst Bitterfeld Musik sampler featuring the three artists to
have already released on the label, Leipzig's Interviews,
Consulate and Guy Contact from Perth, Australia and a new
appearance from label co-owner, Carmel. Power electro
through to breakbeat and trip house.

Les Points Pay A Twisted Homage To The Early Foundations Of Electronic Music Where Hard To Get Tapes, Dystopia And The Sound Of The Wretched Worker Where Present In Genres Like Post-punk, Industrial, Minimal Synth, New Beat And Wave.

It's changing, the worker searched for post-leftist solutions and got lost.
Nine circles applauded the proletariat and imagined how a community
could be congregated, while screams of violence would be filtered by boiling blood.
Exploiters of labor either find themselves rotting away in a never ending icy rain or are dragging their selfish accumulations on their chests for eternity - while the worker slowly identifies himself as a counter-commodity. Algorhythms (fraud) always mislead - once the worker gets past them only Dis will be awaiting her/him.

White label alert! Wolfram delivers a darkroom soundtrack featuring Egyptian Lover. On the flip he meets with legendary Haddaway to deliver a piano anthem! the EP is completed by excellent old-school remix treatments courtesy of “Westbam” and “DJ Gigola x Rip_Swirl”…..sold!

Docile Recordings continues moving minimal with a four track release of nonchalant 4/4. Docile has developed its own style of loose and listless techno that runs the gambit from dark inebriation to a warm and immature frivolity. This style tells stories that only can be realized on vinyl. Simple harmonies and rhythms contrast the evolving programing to form a dynamic that makes one stop, look and listen. A. Garcia lives in and works for the Detroit vinyl community crafting their vinyl as well as his own. Enjoy this record from A.Garcia's mind and hands to yours.

River Rapid is the new label from acclaimed DJ Eclair Fifi. Known for her tastemaking dj sets steeped in upcoming exclusives and unknown rarities as well as her essential monthly radio show on NTS it seemed only right that she should start her own imprint.

The first release features 4 brand new tracks by Afrodeutsche AKA Henrietta Smith-Rolla . Building on the sound established on her 2018 Debut “Break What You Make” on the legendary SKAM label - these raw hardware driven tracks evoke classic Rephlex in the same breath as Underground Resistance. Respectful to the originators whilst keeping an eye firmly on the future.

Supported by festival performances at SONAR Barcelona, Dekmantel and Dimensions amongst others this summer as well as opening for Aphex Twin at Red Bull Music Festival in September.

Meanwhile in the Blast Office, Party Nails have been cooking straight bangers for bent dancefloors.

Four more heaters to test your meters.
Following an inclusion for PN001 in DJ Boring's Phonica top 10 for 2018 the duo gave up their day jobs to pursue their dream of full-time idiocy.

Please buy this record. The kids still need wine.

DON'T ASK WHY - JUST BANG THE NAILS

SHELVED RECORDINGS 2.2

The second part of the two part set from SHELVED RECORDINGS !

Returning to a brief but very fruitful period in electronic music production, Shelved Recordings exists to look back to the golden age of the remix, with a clear view of the future it imagined.

Artists who were steered towards maverick producers, with a view to changing the rules, to re-defining the terms of what modern music should and could be.
Pioneering techniques, over-dubs and an exploratory period of pop production, resulted in many lost dub versions and mixes. Mixes, which invariably were left on the shelf, deemed too 'out there' by the bosses of the the hedonistic label managers who commissioned them.

Carefully reconstructed and rebuilt lost classics from someone who was there the first time around !








One limited vinyl press only

Born in the city of madness Berlin, the multimedia artist and DJ Black Lotus steps up from being a secret hint for extatic and rough DJ sets in the local scene and enters the world of recorded music.

After playing many Berlin underground clubs like Griessmühle, KitKat or Suicide Circus she finally makes her debut release on FLASH Recordings with three tripping, parahypnotic and clearly floor oriented Techno tracks as well as a hard hitting remix by the label-head Florian Meindl.

all tracks written and produced by black lotus in berlin 2018. Additional Remix work by Florian Meindl.

We're excited to be joined by one of the most versatile and knowledgeable DJ producers on the planet. Hailing from Chicago, Chrissy's expertise knows no bounds and stylistically there's few hats he won't don, with productions appearing on labels as diverse as Planet Mu, Classic and Hypercolour to name a few.

For his debut on Super Rhythm Trax his wings remain characteristically unclipped as the tone veers from the massive Acid wall of 'Truth Bomb' (built upon an acappella from a house legend) through the ghostly dubbed out 'Stumble' to the anthemic house of 'We're Movin' before finally resting on the 21st century New Beat of '24 Hour Puppy People' .

'Truth Bomb' is exclusive to the Vinyl only. Digital versions will contain a version with different vocals.

After his debut in 2014 in a compilation for the thirtieth anniversary of “Madrid City Breaker” in which appear illustrious producers from the electro scene as ERP, Luke Eargoggle and Boris Divider among others Gladio Operations launches its first EP with “Flight to Anywhere” produced by the duo from Madrid UHF also owners of the label along with Luis Elesox.

This first reference includes three original cuts, with a mix of tunes that range from cosmic-atmospheric as “Flight to Anywhere” to raw and acid from “Reality” and “Inner Flight” a cut with a touch of IDM with well molded and surrounding textures. The pack concludes with an excellent remix from the classic English producer Scape One who adds a simple and elegant twist to the original track.

The second highest Welsh peak above 3000ft is CRIB Y DDYSGL at 3495ft (1065m).Gelert is sure to have roamed these mountainous regions with his master Prince Llewellyn in his hunting prime...More mysterious sounds connecting the nippiest of mountain peaks. 3000.2 is a Yolky coloured vinyl using mustard tones into white.Part of a collectable 15 pack to mark each peak above the 3000ft mark. This is 3000.2

Superb, diverse, driving DJ tool Techno set

London's elusive Lukid has never been one for convention. In the few short years between 2007-2012, he struck out on a seemingly effortlessly impeccable run of releases on fellow iconoclast Darren 'Actress' Cunningham's mighty Werkdiscs imprint, as well as his own label Glum. Those albums and EPs flaunted genre distinctions and embraced a freewheeling approach to melody, rhythm and atmosphere that felt at once exotically psychotropic and yet grounded in a resolutely english eccentricity. Thus, they feel like especially-prescient recent classics that continue to find new fans.

In the intervening years, Lukid's energy has been poured into his stunning monthly transmissions on NTS while his output has been sparse aside from a pair of mindbending EPs via Liberation Technologies and Glum, respectively. Those radio sets serve as a telling blueprint for his contribution to the ongoing Arcola project. From low slung Memphis rap mixtape cuts to clattering industrial cassette rarities, turbulent grime and outsider synth hallucinations there is a warped palette that comes vibrantly alive across the four included tracks here. The stormy bump and spectral melancholy of 'The Drip' and 'Clappers' seems to wed them together as thematic bedfellows across both sides of the EP while 'Head Shrinker' tries to squeeze an overcast psych-pop opus out of a rack of malfunctioning hardware. Spit out the other side of this ride you exit to the chopped-and-screwed goth grime of 'Conked Out', having had your brain smeared with the uniquely viscous ectoplasm that only Lukid can excrete. Perfectly slimy.

After his first release on Soundtravels, the Aspiration EP ST003, Dircsen is back with another astonishing EP which you can easily call a sequel to Aspiration EP.

Four heavyweight dancefloor bombs with Dircsen's signature, well worked out, 303 basslines, accompanied by moody synths. Dircsens tracks are always built to perfection, distinguished and raw at the same time. Timeless tracks which will last a lifetime. Don't sleep on this one!

4 underwater trippers extracted from another planet featuring Konsistent, Second Life, Jack Patern & Andy Rantzen.

Electro and raw Acid from MF Machinist, a producer from overseas... New York, United States.

The HACKER/LARRY McCORMICK/COSMIC FORCE/DEFEKT

Hot off the heels of MonoTrax Volume 1, Monotone is not letting up with this vinyl only compilation of what could be considered some of the best Electro has to offer. To prove that things get started by legend The Hacker with this pure Electro outing. This one is a littler slower but still a powerful number that will put you into the groove. The second cut on this plater comes from the Monotone boss himself with Root Code. This is actually one of the hot tracks from his Intelectro album however this has not seen wax until now. This jam picks things up with his patented solid drum patterns while the rhythms build up until the middle breaks off into epic keys that lift the track even higher until the end drop into the bass. Side B starts off with the Dutch hero Cosmic Force. Maximilian of Roma is a hybrid of grooves and textures throughout. The energy on this carries the track throughout. Just the unique composition you expect from the Utrecht ninja! Last but far from least. The Irish man comes with a nice riding flow as DeFeKT shows why he is one of the hottest Electro/Techno artists at the moment. I Am Here is proclaimed as this riding tune is relentless and shows why this record is a diverse group of artists yet the spirit of MonoTrax is even clearer. To bring together top notch Electro producers for an exciting compilation series.

For this third EP, Parisian label Forest ill Records artists invites fresh producer Muelsa to join them on this record. Follow them to a trip in the universe of 4 of the best Parisian producers. Fasten your belt and take place to the spaceship.

Traditions never let you down, Pax Kivi debut is pretty impressive, original acid music for classy dance floors.

A1) Sept opens up the EP with the forceful - Challenge . Showcasing Sept's trademark saturated, analog sound, - Challenge combines rolling percussion with eerie soundscaping and a haunting vocal. A true peak time weapon, this track is sure to set all systems alight.
A2) On - Challenge remix duties is longtime collaborator and friend, Violent. Drawing on the atmosphere of the original, Violent delivers a hard hitting, stomping techno banger that will find a lot of favour with those at the harder end of the spectrum.
B1) Opening up the B-side is a further Sept original, - Six Doors . Employing his excellent use of soundscaping, - Six Doors is a measured stepper with undeniable UK influences. One for the deeper hours of the night.
B2) Closing off the originals on the EP is - Astral Spirits . Aptly named, this ambient piece clearly displays Sept's excellent production skills. Dark, eerie soundscapes and twitchy percussion make this an intoxicating and disturbing piece.
B3) For the final track on the EP, Voxnox Records is delighted to welcome Headless Horseman. Known for his exceptional and unique production style, the Horseman is surely one of techno's greatest talents. Headless Horseman delivers a tough, remix that builds perfectly on the atmosphere of the original whilst showcasing his trademark galloping groove. Not to be missed.

…what to say? this is a New Beat masterpiece, simply an instant classic!
yes there’s that track you heard at Dekmantel festival last year ;)

'Futuro perfecto' is the evocative first release by UNIVAC for Femur. In it the passion for machine-like, cold and harsh sounds are being dug into in this new work, which takes him a step further in his rewarded trajectory. The selection is varied and unclassifiable and, despite diverse influences, the sound maintains its personal and non-transferable touch.

De:tuned continue the cherry-picked selections for their 10th anniversary with volume 5 of the series. Terrace (aka Stefan Robbers) and Nu Era (aka Marc Mac, best known as the founding member of 4 Hero) take you into a melodic Detroit techno universe. On the flipside, Carl Finlow and London Modular Alliance deliver a much darker, muscular style with 2 well executed and inch-tight electro cuts.

Kevin Foakes (Openmind, DJ Food, Ninja Tune) created all the graphic work. Pressed on 180 grams vinyl and a separate digital version will be available from the usual digital shops. Stay tuned!

Luca Venezia, aka Curses, has with his Carcassonne-Mini LP, written and produced a cold wave dream filtered through how all the sci-fi movie soundtracks of the eighties should have sounded like; picture The Cure on a study visit in John Carpenters studio in 1983.

This six-track Mini LP is Curses first release on Hoga Nord Rekords and you can place his music beside other artist in the HNR artists stable, like Jamie Paton and Pardon Moi - eighties influenced dark and expensive sounding electronic music. Luca Venezia also solves the task of putting vocal elements in the tracks with sharpness and precision; the heavy processed reverberating overdubs float in and out on a tastefully low level in the mix.

Outside the safe studio walls the discourse is polarised and dumbed down to headlines and introductions, to guttural noises and simplification. Curses music is part of your antidote to this regression and is nor black or white nor simple or safe.

The past few years, we've watched from afar as Tokyo based DJ Haruka has established himself as one of Japan's top DJs and a crucial figure in the dance music scene. Since inviting him to play a Butter Sessions party in Melbourne and catching him multiple times in Japan, our online curiosities were met in real life with his impeccable taste and personalised style of house and techno. Needless to say, when Haruka sent us his debut EP "Senko", we instantly heard something special in his approach to music creation.

The three original tracks, entitled by their respective BPMs, encapsulate everything we loved about his DJ sets - bold, acidic and relentless synth sequences that are as intense as the Shibuya crossing, paired with masterful live percussion and drumming from Izpon (of Japanese salsa band Banderas) and Shigekazu Otake (of cult group Cro-Magnon) to create a unique sonic space. The recordings snarling nature reflects the pure force of DJ Nobu's Future Terror crew, of which Haruka is a key member. Additional live dubbing and mixing work from Naoyuki Uchida of Dry & Heavy - "Flying Rhythms" glues this raging bull together while purveying it's raw energy.

On the flip side, label heads Sleep D offer an unflinching club-ready version of "120", while French royalty Zadig contributes a mesmerising 14+ minute dubbed out, psychedelic burner that brings a new focus to the soundscapes of the original.

How emotional can you get on a dance floor? Love Letters - Cast Off is part of our decades-long exploration of this question. A stunningly confident four track EP that harnesses the power of deep rave with twisted up vocals, acid lines and techniques drawn from the best of classic house topology storming propulsively into the future.

Love Letters is NY-based designer and musician Maxime Robillard whose creative process for both design and music often begins from the same consideration of function, “What is the use, what is the environment. How do I want people to move through or move to the sounds? Movement is integral to my creative process.” Robillard goes on to share the particular story behind this EP: “This EP was made after a major accident in my life. Two of the tracks were made with both arms in a cast, and in a way this can be listened to as a love letter to my connection with this kind of music, with the community I have found on the dance floor, and with particular sounds. It acts as a document of my gratitude that after the accident I am alive and well and can still enjoy the music and world that I’ve dedicated so much of myself to.”

Lapsus Records proudly presents the third release in its “Perennial” series, dedicated to reissuing
contemporary electronica classics from established artists.

The third release is from Christopher Scott Leary, who over the last two decades has produced a plethora
of material under his pseudonym, Ochre. 2019 marks 15 years since the original release of “A Midsummer
Nice Dream” in 2004; on British label Toytronic, which pushed Leary to the forefront of the experimental
electronic music sphere. To celebrate the releases’ fifteenth anniversary, Lapsus Records will reissue a
special collector’s edition of this IDM classic in the form of a double tri-colour vinyl release, re-mastered by
John McCaig (panicStudios). It will also include a full-colour print of the new artwork, re-designed by
Portland (Oregon) illustrator Nathaniel Reeves, who has worked alongside Ochre for almost a ten years.

This special deluxe reissue entitled “A Midsummer Nice Dream (15th Anniversary Edition)“, features
unreleased material from the same period and includes three bonus tracks on its vinyl version, six on its
digital version, making it a truly unique release. It therefore offers a golden opportunity to rediscover an
album that navigates through several genre domains such as ambient, IDM and experimental electronica in
its purest form, stylistically reminiscent of the likes of Autechre, conveying a sound considerably ahead of its
time. In its entirety “A Midsummer Nice Dream” is undoubtedly one of the most remarkable electronica glitch
albums to be released in the 2000s, when the genre experienced its zenith, largely thanks to the advent of
significant breakthroughs in digital production tools.

Tom Ruij aka Tracey's palette of influences is wide and far-reaching, from the far-sighted futurism of Detroit and the deep space pulse of electro, to left-of-centre electronic experimentalism and the alien world of British and European IDM all of which are showcased on his Metamorphosis EP.
