Over a year into living in The Hague, International Weirdo and Film Composer Antoni Maiovvi begins receiving instructions via his dreams from Jaz Coleman from Killing Joke instructing him to make a project called 'Ye Gods' in order to unite the universe through electronic sound and then to deliver these recordings to Guy Tavares to desseminate through the world.

First part of a 4 part series. 79 minutes of cybernetic electro-funk... A dense collection of experimental compositions and synthetic, man-machine rhythms created by Cygnus which fuse with the dance-floor perfectly. Comes in a high quality gate-fold sleeve, with the full story behind Machine Funk. As usual with Fundamental Records; limited and no re-press!

Wisdom Teeth co-founder K-LONE is back on home turf with a four track EP of broken beats for big rigs. The last 18 months have seen him release an impressive run of records on a spread of acclaimed labels spanning a range of styles: slow-mo dub techno (‘Old Fashioned’ on Parris’s Soundman Chronicles imprint); anthemic halfstep (‘Barbarossa’ on his own offshoot label, Wych); low-lit UK garage (‘Furious Styles’ on Dr Banana); and dubwise broken-beat house (‘Dance of the Vampires’ on Idle Hands). The scope and variety of his output has been mirrored in the diverse array of record bags that these releases have snuck their way into: recent co-signs have spanned artists as eclectic as Ben UFO, Four Tet, Bake, Kiran Sande, Beatrice Dillon, Leif, Trevor Jackson, Batu, Commodo and Iggy Pop. The Sine Language EP sees him handling a range of styles and tempos, moving from paranoiac electro (‘Sine Language’) and low-slung percussive house (‘Batucada’) through to tripping, bleeping techno (‘Missed Calls’) and, finally, early hours dubbed-out house (‘Bells’).

"ambitions" Ist Das Sechste Album Von Prins Thomas Und Seine Zweite Soloarbeit Für Smalltown Supersound (neben Den Beiden Kollabowerken Mit Björn Torske Und Bugge Wesseltoft). Die Neue Tracks Auf "ambitions" Sind Kürzer, Prägnanter Und Melodischer, Gleichzeitig Präsentiert Prins Thomas Mit "feel The Love" Seine Erste Vocalsingle, Basierend Auf Einem Sample Der Norwegischen Popikone Alex Naumik. Jazzlegende Bugge Wesseltoft Wiederum War An Den Aufnahmen Zum Albumfinale "sakral" Beteiligt.

Next up on COS_MOS is a label debut from Tom Dicicco. The UK techno artist has amassed a fine discography on the likes of Delsin, Off Minor and Dred Records, always with a rugged and club focussed current running through what he does.

The four cuts he offers here kick off with the hammering synth stabs and coarse claps of 'Varykino', a brutal twisted dance floor mover. 'Laser Life' then cuts loose, with squeaking machines and alien life-forms jumping about in a broken beat framework that brings off balance grooves to the party. Acidic bouncing bass lines jumping over the b-side on '99 Rising', where 'Quiet Theory' flips the script again, this time with percolating and trippy synth loops rising and falling with skeletal beats stuttering below. A well balanced party pack for every hour of the night.

A Sagittariun’s third album chronicles the journey back to Telepathic Heights; an expedition that encounters many obstacles along the way. The feuding parties of the two planets make for a journey of determination and self-discovery for our techno lone ranger that will ultimately deliver him to the sacred site on which Telepathic Heights stands. Conceived as a space western soundtrack to the cinematic interpretation of this tale, Return To Telepathic Heights delivers ten chapters that journal the ultimate mission to reach the imposing tower of Telepathic Heights, where dream telepathy has become the primary communicative tool amongst its peaceful and harmonious community who have opted out of the planetary war that continues to rage, seemingly with no armistice anytime soon. The score fittingly winds its way through the trials and tribulations of this journey, blending minimal and harmonic rhythms, industrial funk, dreamy synthwave and transcendental techno into the rich tapestry of music that documents the ‘Return To Telepathic Heights’. The album features original artwork by Johnny Bruck, fully licensed, and taken from the legendary German science fiction novel series, ‘Perry Rhodan’, which ran weekly from the early 1960s, and was the most successful sci-fi book series ever written.

Chained to a ladder: There's no way up. There's no way down. You're hung on a rung and there's there no place to escape as Dino Lenny delves into your innermost psyche with this heavy slice of pedigree Italian electronica. A Darkroom Dubs debut from the original craftsman, 'Chained To A Ladder' is ominous in its mood and tone, dramatic in its new romantic vocal style and uncompromised with its devilish analogue aesthetic.

Remix-wise we're unquestionably spoilt and torn in two powerful distinctive directions as label bosses Silicone Soul unleash their first production of the year with an immense 9+ minute cosmic bluesy stew, cooked slow and low with deep psychedelic flavours.

Skinnerbox, meanwhile, up the tempo with a jacking acidic 3am foray where Dino's stark spoken word is textured to trippy effect over a prickly, sinewy groove. Two versions that develop the original's story in two stark ways, this is what remixes were invented for.

Last but not least, Dino seals the deal with 'The Right Place'. A broken drum mutant powered by technoid rocket fuel, its breakbeats drive a writhing groove that's awash with touches of classic electro, new beat and hardcore with dark broadsword bass sweeps. Splashed with sudden blasts of synth colour, Dino's signature sense of contrast is visceral, focused and direct. A true homage to every genre's foundations and salute to the future, tremors can be felt from techno to drum & bass.

As the soon to be released 'Darkroom Dubs Volume IV' celebrated the last few years of releases, Dino sets the scene for another exciting chapter for the label. A chapter that will see the label continue to explore its signature atmospheric late-night sounds celebrate its 15th anniversary next year and a long awaited fifth album from Silicone Soul. We'll leave you hanging right here...

French producer Etienne is a musician like few others in his field. A multifaceted individual with a knack for unearthing rare tracks and weaving them together as only he knows how, he's also a deft hand when it comes to crafting sonically-appealing house and techno. It's this meticulous way of working that's led to him to working with a close-knit group of genuinely exciting artists and labels, be it Frankfurt label Traffic or London party starters, Undersound. On his debut LP, released here via his own new imprint, Reductive, we're supplied with a killer reminder of the man's production prowess.

Spread over 2x12's, the record gets underway courtesy of the techno/electro stylings of 'Signé Furax'. An abrasive, in-your-face cut that immediately lets the listener know he means business, it's a upfront introduction to an LP that's littered with expert moments throughout. 'All About' showcases the producer's more introspective touch, while '3rd Nuke' brings us kicking and screaming back toward more forceful, synth-led planes. The first half of the record culminates courtesy of 'Forget Me Not', another space-tinged cut that takes its lead from vintage Detroit sounds.

Growling and menacing, 'Lies.Inc' then picks up where 'Forget Me Not' left off. Another twisted, gnarly jam that's been made for peak time 'floors, it's full of zest and bristling kicks from start to finish. 'The Doubtful Guest' is similar in stature, but the album takes a wonderful left turn by the time we're introduced to 'Information Society'. Much as Jeff Mills is known for pairing things back a bit courtesy of his Milsart project, Etienne does a similar trick here. The album's warmest and catchiest track, it takes us by surprise but also provides welcome respite to the slamming sounds elsewhere. The haunting sounds of 'Squall' then bring things to a conclusion courtesy of a heavily-filtered jam that wraps things up nicely and sees us out in astute fashion.

While the very essence of techno means it's often cold, unrelenting and brutal in stature, Etienne has pulled off a rare feat here by supplying us with an album that's all those things — but also catchy, melodic and thoroughly engaging throughout. Yes, this selection of tracks will bang hard on the dancefloor, but chances are they will also be the ones you'll be humming on your way home from the club.

*Third vinyl release from the Berlin based Jazz-O-Tech Records.

Jazz-O-Tech introduces Black Gardenia Vol.1 composed by Berlin-based duo BEAT MOVEMENT.
The duo presents an unusual, psychedelic and moving techno jazz EP in collaboration with techno pioneer Sunil Sharpe, Italian saxophonist and composer Gianni Mimmo and the jazz quartet Gamapawa.
Black Gardenia is a mesmerizing aesthetic sound experience, taking the listener on abstract journeys and into cinematic sceneries. The title track "Silent Rain" opens the A-side with a soft and emotional fusion of drones and saxophone, followed by the sovereign and psychedelic slow groove of the track "Aphex Twin shot my neck". The B-side is a dancefloor killer combination between Sunil Sharpe's intelligent techno remix of “Silent Rain” and Gamapawa's featuring track "Untitled Reconstruction", where drums and saxophone reach the speed of 150 bpm.
Black Gardenia will be distributed worldwide in 300 limited edition copies.

Limited Edition

Delroy Edwards follows up his smashing "Aftershock" lp from 2018 with a new six track ep of pure old school 80s style Chicago House. While many may have moved on, Delroy Edwards steers the course, carrying the torch like not many cannot do, as he executes stripped down 808 beat tracks with a Gherkin bounce to perfection. (COMES WITH DOWNLOAD CODE!)

Sounding like cuts from a lost WBMX tape, this timeless six tracker is sure to get the all house fiends mouths watering. Think of the primitive styles of Virgo meets Harvey Harris meets Saunders and you're on the right path.

The third reference of the Madrid based Label has just come out of the oven, hand in hand with its capo, RUBEN MONTESCO, consolidating itself as one of the most solid offers in terms of industrial music, elektro and techno, oriented to the dance floor.

It contains six cuts with the forcefulness and intensity to which we are accustomed. We can say that as for quality and variety, the third reference of INDUSTRIAS MEKANIKAS is a round disc.

With this second release Caim continues to push their layered and soothing groovy dance-floor palette to the next level. Constantly playing with the elements that are slipping in and out of focus, haunting yet hopeful, their sound galvanizes heads in the club. This is for that late-night dreamy state of mind while dancing into the early morning hours.

We are proud to showcase more Bay Area family with the release of a new EP by Doc Sleep who cut her chops as a DJ in San Francisco’s vibrant scene the past decade. In 2016 she made the move to Berlin and became a resident of Room 4 Resistance. Since 2013, she's been the co-owner of Jacktone Records, which specializes in techno, ambient, and experimental electronics. In 2016/2017 she released her first 12's on the Hot Mass-affiliated Detour Records and Bottom Forty. She also co-wrote a track with Bezier and Nicole Ginelli, titled “Stranger,” that we released on the ‘Primes’ EP in 2017. Her latest release, ‘Your Ruling Planet’, was released on Jacktone in March 2019.

We first heard “Creme Fraiche” on Doc’s soundcloud page and begged to release it. The track has the feel-good vibes you get on early morning dancefloors as things are winding down or up. Paired on the A-side is the pulsating dark jam “Never Eating Again” that previously appeared on ‘Run The Length Of Your Wildness V.2’ and, like that compilation, proceeds from this track will be donated to Ghost Ship Fire victim Cherushii's family. On the B-side are two remixes from close friends of Doc. First up is a fresh breakbeat remix from Violet: DJ, producer, boss of Naive records, co-founder of Rádio Quântica, and mina resident shaking up Lisbon's nightlife. Second is Berlin-based producer and fellow R4R resident, rRoxymore, who presents an innovative remix of future-facing techno and bass variations adding her own vocals on top. For this release we’ve teamed up with Jacktone to release a cassette version, our first in this format, featuring two peak-time bonus tracks. All songs have been mastered by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. Each copy is housed in jacket designed by Eloise Leigh with neon pink and lavender gradients echo morning sunrises with a collage of dreamy elements using a photo by Doc of Club Toilet in Detroit.

Westcoast drone Electro-nix.

Next up on the fresh imprint is one half of the Chateau Royal, Rapha, who delivers his debut solo 12''. A powerfull and distorted electro flavored 6 tracker reinforced with a killer remix from Rotterhague's boss DJ Overdose. Summer is coming and the Chateau crew are opening their swimming pool so stay tuned.

NTJW is back with his first V/A mini album.
"THE SLAVES OF DARKNESS Vol.1".
A mix of different styles in an unique industrial techno acid trance collection.

Heads Up! The Berlin DJ and producer Audri present his new label Demut. He inaugurates his project with a stunning 3 track EP with Detroit Techno influence.

On the A side "Refrain Buzz" is an uplifting old school techno track with a stunning bassline and a remarkable whistle that will enter in your head and never leave!

On the B1 side we find "Quake" that is exactly what a B side should be, raw - punchy and obscure, perfect for every dark basement and warehouse.

On the B2 side "Life In Andromeda" closes the EP with emotional pads and an electro soul that brings you into space with a dreamful feeling!

We all know that when it's a real vibe you can't go wrong. If you add talent and hearth to that you got gunpowder for pure bangers. And that's exactly what we at Hoga Nord Rekord wanted to accomplish with the sixth release of our UK 12inch series. Consequently we contacted Jo Howard from Sunderland in the North East of England.

As a producer and DJ he uses the alias Bird of Paradise. Smoking Weekend is the name of the four track EP. BoP came to prominence via his output on labels such as Jennifer Cardin's Correspondant imprint and New Yorks Throne of Blood. His debut e.p on the former reached number one in the Juno download techno charts in December 2015. As a DJ, he has honed his skills both at his own parties Cubik and Body Talk. As well as being a resident at Man Powers 'Tourist Parties' wich have afforded him the opportunity to play alongside Todd Terje, John Talabot, Daniel Avery and Ivan Smagghe.

Jo is raised on a steady diet of punk/post punk, and learning to play instrumentation from an early age defines why Jo's way of arranging music and his eclectic taste is different to his peers. Something that fits Hoga Nord more than hand in gloves. We prefer to ride it like bareback pirates as you should know by now.

The Smoking Holiday EP opens with Tito. The spooky oblique intro will soon start to roll deep into a dark cadenced haunting and whispering tune that will twist, trance and tribal your mind back to the early 90s mornings. On a loving, yet a bit dark and grimey, dance floor in- or outdoors. Second track Joy-Rides will lug your brains and fizzle your feet with its eclectic format. Ambient mixed up with rhythmic techno and bleep - a good appetizer of Bird of Paradises DJ-sets. B-side chugs on with the title track and ends with a electro tune that sends funky fresh flirtations to Andrew Weatheralls and Keith Tenniswoods project Two Lone Swordsmen. Bird of Paradise: It's authentic, can't go wrong!

For the second release on the sublabel Spaziotempo, WWM team is pleased to welcome the spanish crack Corp!

The EP kicks off with the elecronica mood of XTC, followed by a classic 4/4 Corp action track Neurotic.

The B side opening is a trip on the artist's underworld, a techno banger which is clearly Berlin infused. The closing track Re-Active perfectly mesh some qwerky acid bassline from the nineties and proper rhythms to shake any dancefloor.

Technologic sound research finds its simmetry in a point among past, present and future. KR/LF platform, founded in Italy by Kill Ref, really aims at it. Endlec, already known for his double appearance on Mord, ushers the label series: Linear Authority is a fast techno cutting-edge sound designed EP. Thus aesthetically classic, it can also truly represent the modern rhythm contemplation KR/LF is seeking.On the A side, The original title track is a punchy frantic bpm killer tool built upon a raw yncopated bass and retrospective distorted synthesizers. Glory Days is an obsessive bassline crescendo drawn on nasty drummachine progression: a real timeless banger weapon.Remixes on the B Side are a nuclear enforcement: on B1 Binny has thrown down a Glory Days remix resulting one of his best dense hypnotic bassline opera driving a fast breakneck smashing tool. And hiddden behind his notorious alias X501 vs LFJ, the italian Raffaele Attanasio gives on B2 a reconstructive remix of Linear Authority throughout a modern perspective of the true sound of Naples: perc and hi hats progressive attack embedded in a stomping distorted kick and crazy analog overdrived bassline envelopements inear Authority EP will stay an everlasting sharpen blade for radical techno lovers.

Zodiak Commune Records presents the fifth release in the Insectum series with a new EP. This masterpiece called "Flying Deer EP" is produced by common player Jaquarius. Get hypnotized by his pure analog Acid sounds and grab this 303 x limited collector!

A1 - The Burden Of Dreams: Wake up inside your personal nightmare... Get rid of this burden of dreams!
A2 - La Chasse au Demogorgon: Makes you wanna move your dancin' feet. Uptempo spiralized 303 tune.
B1 - Docteur Gradus: Influences of the old days. Freaking feedback aciiiieed!
B2 - Chaotic Memory: Glitchy electro acid! Creates chaos you want to remember.

As we reach our 30th release on the label, Animal Farm is proud to present Stephanie Sykes' first solo EP since 2016's effort on Prodigal Son. Those two years have seen her presence in the techno scene explode, with a flurry of appearances across Europe - our own Animal Farm night in Glasgow among them + residencies at Tbilisi's KHIDI and the infamous after hours Jaded crew in London, Corsica Studios.

Title track 'Interference' is an impeccably crafted tool in the vein of her recent DJ sets - boomy in the low end with sweeping peak time sensibilities. It's a brand of unpretentious techno purism Sykes has become synonymous with, also making her a firm favourite with the Animal Farm crowd.

The electro-informed 'On The Other Side' shows a new side to Sykes' production; contrasting mean drums with opulent synth work to craft something that is simultaneously dreamy and floor effective. The elusive Janice turns his hand to 'Interference' on the flip, providing a razor sharp mind-trip of a remix that's as affirming as it is abrasive.

All tracks mastered by Conor Dalton @ Glowcast Mastering.

The second various artists release from Bass Agenda that focuses on Dutch Electro talent. Following on from the success of the first release in 2016, that was supported by Helena Hauff, UMEK, Dave Clarke and many more; the sequel brings another four powerful and diverse Electro tracks from the Netherlands.

NO MORE DREAMS RELEASE A NEW EP FROM 1991. IT FEATURES 5 CLUB TRACKS INCL. A REMIX BY REZZETT. BUY IT.

J.Wiltshire joins the Black Orpheus stable with five tracks of heat for the dance. On side A, 'Semuta' and 'Lemon Squash' are an acid-soaked take on classic electro and sound like a summer beach party organised by Snake Plissken. The theme of road-ready funk continues with the rolling, squelching bass of 'Hundred'. On the reverse, 'In Your Belly' and 'Cymek' take the release into murkier territory. Two cuts of razor sharp retro futurism, these weapons of choice would turn heads at any post apocalyptic rave or dystopian underground gathering. Eye patches at the ready!

2019 is shaping up to be a great year yet with more of the same focus on championing new and emerging artists; alongside the more established. But before all that..

Belfast is the first port of call as DJ and producer Jordan delivers a variety of party thumpers. With thanks to AVA festival and the invincible Bicep going from strength to strength; the Belfast scene is enjoying a moment with the likes of Bobby Analog, Cromby and Hammer all breaking through to greater recognition. Jordan has equally been keeping busy between releases on Abandon Silence and launching his own edits label through Lobster Theremin..

So the stars are aligning for this release, which typifies what the label is about. Each track could easily be the 'A1' and it's already been doing the damage with the likes of Tim Sweeney, Erol Alkan and a select few, until now.. Expect to hear much more from each over the year ahead.

Credited as “Music For Relaxation”, Cumulus is the perfect music to encourage subconsciouschange, decrease blood pressure or pet the cat on the couch to.

Recorded in a Toronto apartment in 1985, Cumulus is an ultra-rare private-press ambient cassette release which was circulated amongst a small group of friends within the avant-garde theatre scene at the time. Brent Snyder’s interest and discovery of Frippertropics and Brian Eno inspired him to set up a 4 track tape recorder in the corner of his dining room to create the two slowevolving guitar loop-based pieces that make up Cumulus. The a side, “Excursion”, drifts between subtle dusty peaks and valleys in an almost Basinski-esque way, while the subtle hums and textures of “Cumulus” gently levitates above the earth and settle into sublime tones similar to Steve Roach “Structures From Silence” and Brian Eno “Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks..

It's been a long wait.. 22 track album from Delroy Edwards on his own L.A. Club Resource. 500 only, be quick.

A group discovers a community of outsiders engaged in a ritual that invokes an inexplicable celestial event.

Mastered by Beau Thomas at Teneightseven.

Spaced out electro tracks by Daniele Paduano on his own R12 label coming in a extremely small run. Daniele who has always had a passion for synthesizers since he started using his father's DX7 when he was a child. All tracks are recorded in a single take, with some life parts manually played on different synthesizers. The entire EP was recorded in the first studio in Naples with the main focus on sounds from a linear Roland Synth while all the manually played pads come, in fact, from the Yamaha DX7.

Goth-ful electro by the illustrious Dmitry Distant in trouble up by notorious vocalist & electro producerette Beta Evers. Comes with a rad Cestrian remix on the flip!

Stone-cold, harsh but melodic electro mini-album by Luxus Varta, who joins up with TRUST after releases on Solar One, Shipwrec, and Brokntoys. Transparent vinyl with an album cover by dextro.org.

Brexit or not, London just isn't easy. Frustrated Funk, high drama by design... Na mean

In her varied career that would combine art gallery installations, major film soundtrackings and commissions for Atari, Suzanne Ciani’s earliest experiments remain some of her most challenging, beguiling and timeless... Flowers Of Evil ticks all the above boxes and flicks switches that would power-up a new uncharted universe of her own musical modernité. Finders Keepers present the first-ever release of these vital archive recordings.

As a genuine vanguard of electronic music composition at the forefront of the modular synthesiser revolution in the late 1960s, Suzanne Ciani’s forward-thinking approach to new music would rarely look to the past for inspiration, which makes this unheard composition from 1969 a rare exception to the collective futurist vision of Ciani and synthesiser designer Don Buchla. In choosing to adapt the controversial prose of French poet Charles Baudelaire, Suzanne would join the ranks of ongoing generations of pioneering musicians like Olivier Messiaen, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Serge Gainsbourg, Etron Fou Leloublan, Celtic Frost and Marc Almond (not forgetting Star Trek’s William Shatner!), all equally inspired by the 19th century writer’s works of “modernité” (modernity), a self-coined term dedicated to capturing the fleeting, ephemeral experience of life in an urban metropolis, best exemplified in his symbolic, erotic and macabre ode to Parisian industrialisation, Les Fleurs du mal (Flowers Of Evil).

In her varied career that would combine art gallery installations, major film soundtrackings and commissions for Atari, Suzanne Ciani’s earliest experiments remain some of her most challenging, beguiling and timeless... Flowers Of Evil ticks all the above boxes and flicks switches that would power-up a new uncharted universe of her own musical modernité. For the many enthusiasts that have already drawn the parallels between Baudelaire’s writings and experimental/electronic music (a relationship rivalled only by the likes of J. G. Ballard and Aldous
Huxley) some might instantly recognise an unconscious sistership between this recording and another 1969 electronic adaptation of Flowers Of Evil by celebrated female electronic composer Ruth White. An interesting distinction of White’s excellent version of Flowers Of Evil (released via Limelight records, home to the likes of Fifty Foot Hose and Paul Bley) is that its dark tone generation and vocal manipulation was created with a Moog synthesiser, the commercially triumphant
rival to Suzanne and Don’s Buchla Systems (Buchla and Moog’s historic, simultaneous, neck-and-neck synth developments are well documented.) The fact that Ciani’s version was never intended for commercial release (not unlike her 1975 Buchla concerts, which could easily have taken Morton Subotnick’s Bull by the horns!) is also poetically reflective of the nature of Ciani and Buchla’s alternative perspective. The choice to present this extract from Flowers Of Evil in its intended French language further distances Ciani’s faithful reaction from some of its better-known variations. Having attempted to voice the poem herself, the multilingual Italian-American composer’s French accent did not meet her own standards, resulting in the request for a fellow unnamed French student who lived on campus at Mills College in Oakland to accurately verbalise the section of Baudelaire’s collection entitled Élévation.

sychosis-inducing’ club tracks from Moscow. Ushi333 shares Green EP on PG TUNE, label by Philipp Gorbachev. The 4 track vinyl version of the EP is balanced with both functions: a fresh idea for DJ peak time moments and laid back Detroit influenced soundscapes. The digital version of the EP has three more tripped-out tracks: Space Mania, Tribal 1and Ophiuchus. Ushi333 is a Moscow based low-profile producer and this material was recorded live with hardware machines in the years 2018 – 2019.
