Techno Vinyl New Releases - News

6 tracks. 7th release on Electro label C-Lektro!

TUTTI is comprised of eight soundscapes: an audio self portrait comprising of manipulated sound recordings from Cosey's life, music and art:
'It's the only album I've made that is an all encompassing statement expressing the totality of my being. A sense of the past in relation to the present and everything in between.'

These eight pieces were originally conceived as the soundtrack to the autobiographical film 'Harmonic Coumaction', and performed live in February 2017, part of a series of events that accompanied the COUM Transmissions retrospective which opened Hull UK City of Culture 2017. Later that year, 'Harmonic Coumaction' was presented as an audio-visual installation for Cosey Fanni Tutti's solo exhibition at Cabinet Gallery, London.
Cosey Fanni Tutti explains: 'Working on the COUM Transmissions exhibition also coincided with writing my autobiography - collating archive material and re engaging with my past. My work is a continuum, the past feeding the present and vice versa. The album is an interpretation of my past and present, of my understanding the shifting perceptions of how they inform one another. One form creating another through a metamorphic process.'

On TUTTI, the music has been updated and enhanced with elements of the original tracks re-recorded and further processed specifically to create a unique stand-alone document, separate to the live performance and installation. Recorded at Cosey Fanni Tutti's studio in Norfolk, the album, as on her debut release, Time To Tell, merges Cosey's art activities with her exploration of sound: The album's autobiographical theme is not locked into any specific time or place, the 'voices', instruments and sounds together span decades of my life, music and art. In this context my name 'TUTTI' shifts from its role as a noun to perfectly represent the concept of the album, also acting as sign for me the artist.
TUTTI is Cosey Fanni Tutti's only solo album release since 1982's Time To Tell. Time To Tell was recently given its first release on vinyl, on a long awaited official deluxe edition. The interim years between solo releases has seen a blisteringly prolific output as an artist and musician. Renowned for her art, her work in the sex industry, as co-founder of Industrial music and Throbbing Gristle, and her pioneering electronic music solo and as Chris & Cosey, Carter Tutti and Carter Tutti Void, she has created throughout with the motto 'my life is my art, my art is my life'.

Cosey's autobiography ART SEX MUSIC was published to worldwide acclaim by Faber & Faber in 2017, a Japanese edition has just been published with further translations and an audio book to follow. TUTTI

From the westcoast of Sweden Neunaugen gives you three funky-space-electro-acid tracks for the dancefloor. No chance to sit still when this is played. Electro boogie!

Single Sided 12" Featuring An Underground Resistance Remix Of Radioslave's "trans" On Rekids.

Paris club kid MAXIME IKO joins BPitch with this five-track trip into the depths of his mind !

Infused with acid licks and electro motifs, this is a scintillating debut from an artist who represents diversity and inclusiveness - two cornerstones of club culture. Maxime's influences range from the gothic, dark and lurid through to the often flamboyant gay culture, launching his own highly-regarded gay event at Rex Club called 'Cockorico' and, later, putting on 'Le Bal Con' at Badaboum - a party that celebrated the wild, creative side of nightlife with art performances and lots of crazing dancing. Maxime's 'Concilium' EP starts with the frenetic 'Achartade', a track which pulsates with eerie vibes, closing with the multi-tempo closer 'Concilium' - a demonstration of Maxime's penchant for playfulness and experimentation. In between those two killer cuts we have 'Repulsion', where the main riff has a jaunty, arpeggiated rhythm, 'Timeline's Wrong', a heads down acid roller with vocal stabs and a totally absorbing atmosphere and finally, 'Closure' a spine-tingling emotionally-charged adventure. One that will lift the roof off anywhere it's played. An accomplished collection from a man who values the roots of electronic music culture and brings his own unique vibe with each performance and new release... allez!

The next release on leading French label Zone is a very special one indeed from long time friend of the label and pioneering electro figure Kittin, the artist formerly known as Miss Kittin. Her standout original comes with an equally impressive remix from Truncate.

A long time stalwart of the electroclash scene who has put out many seminal singles, Kittin has famously collaborated with The Hacker and Felix Da Housecat and mixed up new wave and techno in arresting new ways for decades. Her albums have always been hailed as hugely accomplished and the prolific and innovative Frenchwoman has worked with numerous top labels. Now back once more in 2018 with her first solo single in some time, she is in fine form.

Her offering here, 'EACID', is a timeless piece of deep techno with brain melting bass and twinkling yet menacing keys. Her own vocals are twisted and chopped up into wordless forms that add layers of intrigue and the whole thing is brilliantly broody. A breakdown at the mid point allows you to catch your breath as her voice refracts round the airwaves, then the icy hi hats and rumbling drums and bass land again with subtly uplifting, light emitting chords rising in the background. All in all, this is one of Kittin's most special and evocative tracks of recent times.

Remixing is Truncate, the deep techno artist who runs a label of the same name and has released his killer wares on 50Weapons. His version is more wild and flailing, with the keys becoming more manic, the drums darting about all over the place and the voice becoming more paranoid and trippy.

New Flesh Records 19 Ever wonder what would happen at the first minuts of an Alien in-vasion Answer can be found on Geometric Vision', the debut EP of Hungarian electro don Norwell on French New Flesh Records. Real name Balázs Semsei, Norwell has turned out a steady stream of releases on labels like Dalmatia Daniel, Pinkman, Chabu Recor-dings, Seagrave and his own Farberwechsel imprint until now, always coming on strong with a personal artistic vision plus a sense of drama.

Across four craftily cuts on Umwelt's label, he revisits his own dystopian universe made of sonic frequencies fused into rich atmosphere with a strong array of emotions. From the haunting opener Geometric Vision' to the explosive final Conversation Patterns', Nor-well signs one of his best release to date.

Fascinating synth melodies supported by raw drums and insane electro textures compose this must have 12'' and an essential addition to the New Flesh catalog. Heavy electro darkness for serious heads, this is a soulful EP full of depth, impossible to ignore!

Pearson Sound returns to his own label with 3 varied club tracks. "All three began during a solitary week spent at Devon Analogue Studio, and then they were arranged and mixed in London. 'Rubble' is the sound of two major demolition projects shaking my studio, 'Earwig' is my first (and maybe last) acid track, and 'Our Spirits Soar' is for smokey late-night dancefloors while the house lights creep up". PEARS3 vinyl and digital will drop on Friday 16th November, while a video for 'Earwig', directed by Leila Ziu, is online now.

Launched in 2010 by infamous electro artist Umwelt and graphic partner Chris Nexus 6, New Flesh Records definitively focuses on
underground and futuristic music. Productions are characterized by the use of analogue synthetic ma-chines: therefore, the music oscillates between Electro and Techno styles.
"Elektro Diktators Vol.1" inaugurates a series of top electro compilations on the french imprint and offers for its first chapter four uncompromizing tracks from the like of renegades DynArec (Electrix, Delsin), Umwelt (Shipwrec, Sata-mile), Franck Kartell (Transient Force, Black Leather) & Jauzas The Shining (Last Known Trajectory, Black Montanas). Each artist provides his personal vision of Electro in an oustanding way.

Nach Ersten Ep's Auf Maslo Und Houndstooth Veröffentlicht Der Manchesteraner Idm-produzent Vester Koza Nun Sein Debütalbum "loader Mither". Verwurzelt In Der Britischen Rave/club-kultur, Überrascht Vester Koza Mit Frischen Ideen, Komplexen Melodien Und Teils Mystischer, Teils Emotionaler Poetik. Abstrakt-melodische Idm-electronica Für Fans Von Aphex Twin, Squarepusher Und Call Super.

Boris Bunnik is no stranger here at Shipwrec, having graced the label with some beautifully deep and textured music under his Conforce, Hexagon and Versalife monikers. It is to his Versalife guise that the Rotterdam based producer returns, this time for a quartet of works in the shape of Vortices. The cranking clank and grunt of the factory introduces "Amber Molecular Profile", a piece that combines the warmth of electronica with the chill of electro. The distant tones of "Adept" follow. Carved in the void of space, Bunnik moulds glimmering notes and distant echo into a track that is both absorbing and stark. Acid reverberations and rasping rhythms give rise to sweet and sailing synthlines in the celestial title piece before a cold wind sweeps through in the shapeshifting form of "Chimaera." A spectrum of musical radiance from a modern day master.

This record is a kind of non Schlager-music based piece of electronic ravey shit!

Rephlex producer EOD drops a mind-bending fifteen track debut album on Bjarki's bbbbbb this June.

Born in Trondheim, Norway, Stian Gjevik is a rarity amongst electronic music producers. Possibly the most interesting musician representing the braindance and IDM sounds of today, EOD's productions have landed on labels like We´Me` Records, sleepers, cpu, 030303 and Aphex Twin's highly respected Rephlex. Dropping on bbbbbb last year, his 'Swurlk EP' sold out within a month and received support from Aphex Twin, Bicep, Bjarki, Nina Kraviz and many more.

'It's the album I've wanted to do since I started making music - feels like a dream come true. Inspired by what got me into electronic music in the first place; jungle and early '00s Warp/Rephlex "drill & bass"-type stuff, but shifted through my own EOD-style lens. Oh yeah and loads of lovecraft references because I love those.' - EOD

A must-listen for fans of sublime synth-driven cuts, otherworldly beatless affairs and frenetic, machine- driven jams, EOD's 'Named' is a refreshing and highly anticipated debut long player from a true master of his craft.

'Certain combinations of sounds, played through the human body unlock information and frequencies of intelligence. All possibilities exist. There are truly no limitations.' A journey through life and death by Galaxian.

San Francisco DJ and producer Charles Duff aka Matrixxman unveils his new label 'The Grid' with a special double 12' - 'The Grid 001' presented in a deluxe gatefold sleeve. Matrixxman is one of the most acclaimed and prolific modern Techno producers, opening new avenues in the current scene with his material regularly supported and played by Rødhåd, Jeff Mills, Ben Klock, Richie Hawtin and more.

'The Grid 001' captures Matrixxman in full Techno mode with tracks of pure rhythm, polyphony and shades of Acid bookended with brief ambient sketches . The Californian artist offers a sonic teleportation to outer space, to a different way of representing Techno and Electronic music. These six tracks are characterised by their futuristic atmosphere and clearly marked by their hypnotic construction, where elements that seem to be insignificant become the centre of attention, where a trivial whistle can be looped and turned into a main mutant melody, where textures become increasingly important to show us different sides of Techno. And, naturally, where all the rhythmic elements are placed on the front line.

Sync 24's Cultivated Electronics rounds off 2018 in style with the "From The Dark" Series. 3 x V/A LP's showcasing some of the leading lights of modern electro alongside some solid newcomers. Focussing on the spookier side of the genre FTD brings in the various shades of darker electro tones from across the Globe. Volume 1 kicks off the series with with some super dark selections from Sync 24 & Alienata, Australia's hottest electro exports of the moment Jensen Interceptor and Assembler Code, Seattle Electro Veteran 214, CE newcomer Rico Casazza, Radio Matrix Boss & Tresor resident Delta Funktionen, Caught London Sleeping Head Honcho Stratowerx, Delsin & Clone affiliate Versalife and Berlin based CE newcomer Exterminador.

Hailing from the first wave of American West Coast Electrofunk that brought us classic from the likes of The Egyptian Lover and Dr. Dre, Cli-N-Tel—a member of the legendary World Class Wreckin'Cru—released the song "2030" on Unknown DJ's label, Techno Hop, in 1986. More than 30 years later, it has become an essential of the genre and is now celebrated with this overdue rerelease.

Along with the remastered original version, the German label, Ground Control, is proud to present a package of fresh remixes from renowned artists of the current international Electrofunk scene—including Sweden's Blotnik Brothers; Dynamik Bass System out of Germany and dutchman DJ Overdose. BUST IT!

Dutchman DJ Overdose returns with two stellar Electro cuts on the Dominance Electricity sub label Electro Empire. The rough analogue vintage synth & drum machine productions carry the vibe of 1980's Electrofunk adding a powerful gritty twist. Fressh!

Puristic old school Electrofunk party hymn, perfectly channeling the vibe and energy of early 1980s classics of the genre such as Freestyle's "Don't Stop the Rock" or Hashim's "We're Rockin' the Planet", packed with crisp TR-808 beats, vocoderized vocals and catchy vintage synth melodies. Don't stop the Party Rock!

The New Zealand - Detroit connection. Electro Empire presents the Auckland based duo Go Nuclear and three new versions of their debut release hit song Techno World. The undenieable influence from early Detroit Electro classics by the likes of Model 500, Cybotron or AUX 88 aside, this well and originally crafted production offers catchy old school vibes with a powerful modern twist. The remix by Detroit's Filthiest (aka DJ Nasty, Digitek, 313 Bass Mechanics) - a true Detroit talent who has been keeping it real since the nineties - rebuilds the song in powerful TechnoBass / Ghettotech style. Turn it on, turn it up and... Go Nuclear!

American Electro Rap legend Kyper checks in with the German label Ground Control. Produced by the Brazilian Bass Connection (BBC) aka Heliobranco and Tom Oliver, the new song Let The Bass Come Out Clear delivers a shameless old school Miami Bass orgy with heavy 808 Beats, 80s Style Rapping, vocoder vocal bits and fresh scratching.

The perfect choice for a remixer comes with Debonaire, producer with legendary Miami Bass groups Maggotron and Dynamix II, who takes the song to the next level of Bass boom. Turn up the bass!

The Bunker New York is excited to be releasing LDY OSC's powerful debut EP 'Magic² of 8' which takes inspiration from Liaisons Dangereuses as much as it does from Sähkö Recordings and Mayan Cosmology.

The Florida-based duo Ohverclock aka Grow and Kounterakt join the Electro Empire: sub label of Germany's Dominance Electricity, to give their epic ElectroBass banger Rezonation the maxi-single treatment.

Taken from the mini-album Sagittal Future (CHP Recordings Ltd.), the three brand new versions, including an Extended Mix, instrumental Bonus Beat Mix and a Vocoder acapella, will please everyone into the new Miami Bass sound in the vein of Jackal & Hyde, Dynamix II or Code Rising. Rezonate to this!

Emile Facey lives in Penge, South East London. 'When writing this music I became very interested in the history of the area I live in, imagining what it had been like when the ancient Great North Wood was still standing and the now busy urban area was a tiny hamlet sitting at the edge of a vast forest. I read that Penge was first recorded under the name Penceat in an Anglo-Saxon deed dating from 957 and that many historians believe the name of the town is derived from the Celtic word Penceat, which means "edge of wood". The Porcupine Meadow and a toll gate were important landmarks in the area.'

First inspired by Kraftwerk and the Street Sounds hip-hop compilations in the early 1980s Emile was hooked on electro from an early age. In 1998 he started promoting electro events in London and connecting with other producers and DJs from the UK and abroad. This led to him building his first bedroom studio and, after a few years of learning, honing and recording, Emile's Plant43 project saw it's first vinyl release in 2006 on the much-missed Ai Records. Since then he's released nearly 100 tracks on many highly respected labels including Frustrated Funk, CPU, Semantica, Shipwrec, AC Records, Bleep43 Recordings, Cultivated Electronics and Trust.

He is also a graphic designer, illustrator and co-founder of bleep43 com, which is dedicated to celebrating electronic music. Since 2002, Emile has played live alongside DJ Stingray, ERP/Convextion, Surgeon, DJ Overdose, Urban Tribe and many others.

Sleep D & Roza Terenzi split sides and take control of next Butter Sessions 12". Expect advanced electronics with a retro-futurist blend.

Label veterans Sleep D crank the dial to 11 and spit out a banging electro mutant that was concieved at Melbounre Electronic Sound Studio early in 2018. Vintage synths are imagined in a new light on 'Shark Tempo' and met with fast-paced klangin drums and a relentlessly hypnotic bass sequence.

Flip the disc to feel the bass bin shaking sounds of Melbourne via Perth transplant Roza Terenzi that has been making plenty of noise lately. Debuting on the label with a rude, zonked out rave house beast that is 'Paranoia On Tap'. Heard first at her debut live set at Inner Varnika festival early in 2018.

The return of a German Electro-Hiphop legend!
After ZYX Music released smash hit Action! and the album It's Time in the late 80s, Berlin based producer Quickmix brings The Alliance back to life.

This release features two new productions under the The Alliance brand including a remix of the classic Theme Of The Alliance and the new Kraftwerkinspired classic Electro song A-L-L-I-A-N-C-E with vocoderized lyrics, brokenbeats and playful vintage synth sounds.

Building the perfect bridge between new and old, the "B-Side" of this releasefeatures a song of Quickmix's new Trap & Bass Music project Flux Flavour,with heavy 808 bass drums, scratches, haunting melodies and voice samples.

Die Wiederkehr einer deutschen Electro-Hip-Hop-Legende!
Nach dem Smashhit "Action!" und dem Album "It's Time" Ende der 1980er, erweckt der Berliner Produzent Quickmix The Alliance wieder zum Leben.

Diese EP enthält zwei neue Produktionen des Alliance Projekts inklusive einem Remix des Klassikers "Theme Of The Alliance" und den Kraftwerk-inspirierten Electro Song "A-L-L-I-A-N-C-E" mit vocoderisierten Stimmen, Breakbeats und verspielten Vintage-Synth-Sounds
.
Für die perfekte Brücke zwischen alt und neu enthält die "B-Seite" einen Song von Quickmix's neuem Trap & Bass Musik Projekts Flux Flavour mit fiesen 808-Bässen, Scratches, geheimnisvollen Melodien und Stimmsamples.

Next on Noorden is WHITE AFGHANI with his debut release »Kaleidoscope EP«. The up-and-coming producer from Cologne drops a dancefloor focussed five tracker between leftfield flavoured breakbeat and ambient leaning big room techno.
Munich based ZENKER BROTHERS transformed the EP's ambient track »Rain and Bliss« into a resonating peak-time-killer with catchy basslines and groovy chords. Top-notch!

Two Dutch institutions in Delsin and 2000 And One team up for a reissue of the 1994 EP Belongings. It was an early release on 2000 and One's influential 100% Pure label and found him in full on space-techno. The EP has been fully remastered and sounds as gloriously futuristic now as it did more than 20 years ago. 'It Belongs To Me (Version)' is an intergalactic techno track with pads drifting off to an infinite horizon as a soft acid line burrows into the big, icy hi hats and punting drums. It's perfectly spacious and sombre, while 'It Belongs To Me (Reprise)' is a much more downtempo and thoughtful version of the track where pained leads synths take the lead and the drums are off in the distance. It's the sound of resignation and dejection in techno form. 'Crystal' then layers in new age harmonies as classic dusty break beats do their dance below. Again the synths are smeared and grand in scale and the whole thing feels like a blissful rave comedown. Last of all, 'Bowed' is a happy and manic melodic track with warped bass and fluttering snares that carry you away to the stars.

Lerosa's 25th solo EP will be released on German label eudemonia. Known for his deep-house sound, the Dublin based Italian producer showcases a different palette for this release. The four tracks gravitate somewhere between Electro, Italo, Synthwave and imaginary film themes. "Glider", a fast electro track, opens the EP combining acid drops and dystopian sci-fi elements. "The Minister' is much slower and serves as an emotional homage to those gone too soon. "Plateau Rosa" connects Italo and Detroit delivering a rolling bassline and glassy synth clouds for the delight of the afterhour-dancefloor. And if Lerosa had scored the soundtrack of a Michael Mann film in the 80's, "Theme of Perception" would have been right at home, a fitting end for this EP. The cover is a painting by the Irish artist Sibyl Montague. It was originally exhibited in London at an exhibition called - Totem'.

featuring remixes from dixon, recondite, tale of us and dubfire!

Earlier in the year, Red Light Radio co-founder Hugo van Hejiningen and Identified Patient joined forces to debut their new musical project, Stallion's Stud. Artificial Dance is ready to release the first fruits of the duo's studio collaboration.
The four-track EP digs deep into their shared love of electronics, post-punk era experimentation, DIY music culture and dubbed-out drum machine rhythms. The results are undeniably dark and intoxicating, with former punk singer Hugo fronting proceedings via mind-altering vocals and twisted lyrical flows.

Opener 'Promising Promises' sets the tone for what follows, with Hugo's spoken vocals wrapping themselves around ricocheting industrial dub rhythms and raw, delay-laden electronics. The delay trails to oblivion remain a force to be reckoned with on the creepy, fuzz-fuelled cold-wave doom of 'Instrumental Aria', while the throbbing and clanking 'Unpredictable' and 'Voice of No' ratchet up the intensity by several notches via end-of-days guitars, heavyweight bass and face-melting percussion.

Intricate and detailed jams for your enjoyment in foggy dance floor corners. These tracks all have that unmistakable Marco Shuttle vibe with plenty of deliberate, slightly twisting melodies, shadowy disembodied echoing vocals that let your brain fill in the meaning, underpinned with punches of tautly layered rhythms.
.
Marco Shuttle first caught our ear many years ago when we discovered his music the old fashioned way, picking up his Clone Store Only Series record at Halcyon in Brooklyn. This mysterious record led to becoming obsessed with his incredible, selfreleased
podcasts that were floating around online at the time so we reached out to him and ended up working together to put his Fanfara EP out on our label in 2014, when he was almost unknown in North America. Since then, his music career has grown in leaps and bounds. He's no longer at his day job in the fashion industry but tours and produces full-time, releasing albums on his own Eerie Records, Donato Dozzy and Neel's Spazio Disponibile, as well as a string of killer EPs on several respected imprints. His productions and DJ skills have led to repeat bookings at Labyrinth Festival, Berghain, Concrete, Fabric, De School and just about everywhere else around the world where discerning heads congregate to hear great techno.

When Marco was in Brooklyn to play an 8 hour set at The Bunker Limited earlier this year he played some new demos that stuck out as something exceptional, even by his very high standards, and we knew we had his next record on The Bunker New York ready to go.
