Techno Vinyl New Releases - News

Between Places" is the new sublabel from SolarOneMusic, because SOM set their focus more on Albums and all kinds of electronic music.The new "Between Places" Label will only have the focus on pure Electro Music from all different countries.!!! First release comes from German Producer "Das Muster" known from his work for SolarOneMusic, Luke Eargoggle's Stilleben Records, Arnold Steiners Transient Force or also from his great Album on Alek Stark's Fundamental Records. He is no stranger for die hard electro fans and also for all who like the old, cold and dark sound of Dopplereffekt.

Nachtzug delivers captivating acid grooves over an analogue trackbed of I.D.M. elegancy. Leipzig's Possblthings records which is linked to the Possblthings store are doing a stellar job after their first strong release by Robyrt Hecht. This 2nd release is guaranteed to warm your hardware-driven hearts with its multifaceted tracks from uplifting braindance to spaced-out electro. Fans of DMX Krew, MNLTH, CPU Records and the likes are in for a treat!

As founding member of Uran GBG, with a past in cult bands such as Lava, and appearing on stage and in studio with some of Gothenburg's more prominent acts, makes Jerker Jarold one of the cornerstones in the city's psychedelic scene. By the name of Vastlanken, Jarold is now making his first release as a solo artist on Hoga Nord Rekords.

The music on the tracks Autobaba and Moebel, is a mixture of dub, ambient and techno where few but tasteful components builds the sound. Vastlankens transcendent qualities lies in Jarolds ability to limit himself in matter of recording techniques and instrumentation; one synthesiser , one delay pedal and one mobile studio is all he need to make delicate dub.

Activate your pineal gland and meditate yourself free from general angst with Gothenburg's last shaman!

The second release for Glasgow label Full Dose features two dancehall laced productions from Ayrshire via Kingston by Lucchesi. The Burro EP is uncompromising in approach & heavyweight in sound, reminiscent of The Bug on Rephlex, circa 2003. Vinly only. Single sided 12' with insert.

ISCOS ATO´NICOS proudly presents the label's second release: Age of Aggression by BS-1.
This new record was produced by Dutch veteran Roland van Oorschot aka BS-1 Growing up, he listened to bands like Slayer, Fear Factory and Anthrax, which formed his musical education and continues to impact his productions.

Producing and experimenting since the mid 1990s, van Oorschot has been a long time fixture in the electronic music world. He has created many projects over the years including Funxiun, Utroid and the previously mentioned BS-1.


You can find his unique tracks on various labels including Marguerita Recordings and Gooiland Elektro.
For Discos Ato´nicos he made the Age Of Aggression EP, featuring 5 massive electro cuts that are a straight shot to the dance floor.

On the A-SIDE the tracks Kill Switch, Genetic Waste and Age Of Aggression, combine intergalac- tically distorted beats with industrial elements.
We hear dark atmospheres, dystopian lyrics and metallic snares sharp like knives.
On the B-SIDE, Fear of a Dead Planet serves brutal electro while Eternal Oblivion surprisingly slows down the pitch and ends the amazing journey in form of a sweet electronic ballade.

Part two from a new series called Soul of the Automaton.

It feels like a long time since the last Contort Yourself, addiction will make time drag. Fear not, the peddlers of filth are back with a quintet of past profanity and new nastiness. Unknown Precept's Eindkrak serves up a grease dripping, ball bearing filled dish of Shawarma. After the entre comes a 90s treat. Kirlian Camera's Angelo Bergamini's side project with Celestino Pes under the name Andromeda Complex. Here the partnership offer the drums flailing beast that is The Servant (Extract), tongue lolling, eyes bulging techno brutalism from 1994. 4 sees GDL collide claps and low level bass line abuse as a thick haze gathers. On the flip. L.I.E.S. and Secret Studio scavengers, Circling Vultures are savagely Feasting on the Caucus of the Fallen Divine King before Bunker back row bully Klankman twists his knife into The Servant. Your latest dose of mean musical medicine has been served.

Tel Aviv based two man project TV.OUT has been making a name for themselves these last years putting on impressive live sets, djing around the world, and running their Paralaxx imprint releasing various strains of rugged, well informed electronic music.
.
On their debut for L.I.E.S. we get a smoking three tracker spanning styles that would not seem out of the place being played on the West Coast of Den Hague in the late-90s. Think early Legowelt meets Coca Disco meeting heavier techno sounds as a starting point. Club gear for the gearheads.

Mysterious new outfit Glasstalk Records start as they mean to go on with their debut release, showcasing some heavy-hitting techno from Kettering via Leeds upstart, Wilhelm. At the ripe age of 21 and with only one release to his name prior to 38thParallel, this producer has already attracted a lot of support from a stellar cast of tastemakers including Bruce, Midland, Batu, Avalon Emerson, Tasker and A Made Up Sound as well as landing recent radio plays from the likes of Skream, B. Traits, Moxie, George Fitzgerald, Batu and Via Maris.

Wilhelm kicks off the EP with the haunting 'Our World.' This dancefloor heater is jam packed with frenetic percussion, overtly time-stretched whispers and ambient samples of mechanical scrapings. Next up is the title track of 38thParallel EP, a distinctly more off-kilter affair than its predecessor due to its quick-fire drum patterns. Rounding off the release is 'Assignment,' which was quite literally made as an assignment for the producer's university course! This slowed techno roller would be perfect as a set opener.

Pinkman welcomes Maenad Veyl to its roster of artists for his debut release in the form of the labels second tape. 'Make Them Remember' sets the gloomy mood with clattering percussion and ghostly synth lines. The messy drum patterns of Taiko Death Rhythm' are breaking up the cold mist. The A-side of the cassette is completed by the melodic slow burning energy of 'D.M.M.R.M'. On the other side 'State ov Apprehension' and 'Sotto Gli Occhi Tutti' further darken the character, to then pave way for 'In Ruins' to finish the damage with it's ethereal, yet soul ripping guitar riffs. *** Digital download code included ***

The Blink single is a labour of love spanning over 2 years evolving from Reshape's Live Series. The 'Tunnel mix' takes its title from being road tested at the now closed Tunnel Club in Paris and both tracks are a homage to early UK and Detroit techno which Redshape holds fond memories of from his youth.

"The Silent Season 10 Year Anniversary collection celebrates a decade of deeper electronic music. The vinyl series features artists whose music continues to inspire the Silent Season journey.

Subapical is pleased to present Dutch producer Albert Van Abbe's The Pulse Projects - Black Catalogue Rituals (2004-2005)
The Pulse Projects Black Catalogue Rituals (2004-2005) show Albert Van Abbe's grittier electro/industrial focused work all recorded in the mid noughties. Here he serves up 4 tracks from the archives.

Acid and experimental techno... Amiga textures, minimalists and very dancefloor... with crazy structures and syncopated effects... 1 track a side, loud sound.

Long awaited re-issue of the classic, hard-to-find Op-Art EP by drum n bass legend Photek. Originally released in 1996 and featuring Photek's first foray into Techno and science fiction future-jazz - this re-issue has been meticulously remastered for it's rebirth twenty years later

The second volume from Discos Del Quebranto continues to explore the deranged end of electronics.
A-side finds Colours of Infinity AKA Andy Donnelly, who runs the Hidden Waves label, delving into slow, sludgy territory while on the reverse, obscure wave digger Blackmoon77 takes the production reins for a full industrial immersion.
Limited to 200 copies, handstamped, A4 insert.

FOR THOSE WHO SEEK THE TRUTH

Sam Kidel from Young Echo opens proceedings with a beautifully rolling, pastoral re-arrangement of the melodies of South East Of The Mountain, keeping a watchful eye on the original, dread b-line. Then some chilled ragga from O$VMV$M, versioning Skeletal. Finally Helm takes the helm, with a startling re-animation of Bloom, brilliantly tipping the registers of Music For Airports on their side.

Plugged into the mainframe of the power station, Antonio returns to the label with a barrage of loner panzer funk and mechanised thrash metal from the shadows of Frankfurt's industrial district. It's a record fed and nurtured among copper coils, rusted voltage boxes, plasma and ionised sweat coming out to breathe among power surges and industrial smog. Four tracks from the heat of the machine. A total submission to your new electrical system.
Mastered by Andrea Merlini

the new suuuuuuuuuuuuuupersmasher by deadmau5 is out !!! squeekin electro sounds with phat basslines and great effects !!! that's what we call a must have !!! repressed !!!

Inspired by an evening spent in a restaurant next to a car demolition site, Eindkrak's long player debut echoes the distant sound of steel being crushed and cars pressed into cubes. All this noise, in combination with the taste of good Italian food, lead to the eleven tracks making up for the aptly titled Brullend Staal — loosely translated to weeping steel. A leisurely stroll on crumpled metal sheets, the acidic hints of oxidized metal and the smell of gasoline. Inaudible and distorted vocals as if smothered by the clatter and smokestacks of steel factories. Eindkrak's first full-length is all about this disquietude made of melted and straightened metal. A resounding and tumultuous din. Try to eat some nice gnocchi while listening to this album, and you'll see what it is all about

The Squirrels from San Francisco are back and they're wearing white after Labor Day — pressing up a limited white-label 12", full of the throbbing electro, altered-states body music, and head-in-the-clouds techno you've come to expect from Squirrels on Film.
.
It wasn't long ago that a particular material girl declared that we are living in a material world, and sadly, that refrain now rings truer than ever. Thank God for the Material Squirrel, then, some unknown player (with a familiar sound...!) whose "Material World" is a devastating electro jam, elevated into the stratosphere by a bassline so big it's silly. Lokier, from Mexico City but residing in Berlin, comes after the anonymous Squirrel to present "Headless," a murky, slower tune with swirling arpeggios and whip-crack percussion that recalls the sound of Belgium and Germany circa '89-'92.

On the B-side, Billy Bates — an old-school San Franciscan with credentials in new wave outfit The Vanishing and the more left-field Autonervous — offers up "Got It," featuring funky percussion entwined around a squirrely (no pun intended) synthesizer, like classic jackin' house on some heavy psychedelics. Last but certainly not least is head Squirrel honcho Solar, closing out with "Anoesis" (defined as 'a state of mind consisting of pure sensation without cognition'), a heady techno escapade that slowly builds and unfurls across the cosmos in seven minutes.

- Leipzig's R.A.N.D. Muzik are perhaps better known for pressing records than releasing them, but to demonstrate their new picture disc press they've curated a limited edition compilation LP for reflective home listening (and viewing).
Featuring Lowtec, Consulate and Leipzig locals Panthera Krause and Leibniz to name just a few, over its 8 tracks the collection moves from melody-driven IDM to dark, atmospheric ambience, through to reflective electronica.
Skilfully pressed on two sides of 12' plastic with artwork by Marijn Degenaar this is surely a must-have for every sensible record collector.'

American DJ & producer Eric Estornel AKA Maceo Plex is set to relaunch his old moniker called Mariel Ito in 2018. The mysterious alias was active during the early 2000's and flourished from Estornel's experimentation on electro sounds before he would become known worldwide as Maceo Plex. He delivered a bunch of releases under this moniker during 2005 and 2006 including an EP on Modern Love and an album on SCSI-AV, to name a few.

Estornel will come back with a first Mariel Ito EP in 12 years. This new single titled '2e Komst' will land on January 26th on his fresh imprint Lone Romantic, that he launched with the recent Maceo Plex LP 'Solar' last summer. The EP brings two new tracks 'Sintex49' and 'Dmode90' that illustrates the electro edge of his sound with the recognizable obscure synths and electrifying samples of his productions.

A stone scorcher of an EP to put alongside his classic Aquaplanos with Donato Dozzy, from nearly ten years ago. Four contrasting, deeply atmospheric stages in longing — swingeing and propulsive to blissed-out and bittersweet. Terse but charged; hypnotic, never bludgeoning; soulful and warmly crafted, never mechanical. Says Nuel — 'Unveiled consists of live recordings made on the same great day: 03/10/2015. The inspiration comes from a woman, the record is my reaction to something she unveiled. The record is about really strong feelings, relationships and mental projections... a sexy record for me. After that recording session I found these tracks so appealing that I decided to keep them in that form, a document of that day.'In hand-made, silk-screened sleeves — tastily inky and rough — featuring a bust from the gardens of the Villa Medici in Rome... stern, erect, gaze averted. Another killer from the redoubtable Latency. Very warmly recommended.

This is RRR01 :)
Record open on a 160 BPM cruiser... kind of tribe electro techno with a cool suspense melody. Then comes a Banging acidfucker... Finished comes with GIS from LPR : banging dancefloor Hardtek !

When UMEK introduced his moniker Zeta Reticula at the beginning of the century, he got the following review....Zeta Reticula sounds something like a cross between Basic Channel style minimalism & Anthony Rother's electro formula's.......
The main man once again unleashes four more pulsating electro works out, with a little nod to Aux 88.................

Sue Zuki's inaugural recorded document the ''WE ARE ALL VERY ANXIOUS'' tape is in our opinion one of the most innovative audio expeditions that has resonated with us. Boldly defying and deconstructing conventional genre tropes we aren't being bias by saying that either. This is a genuinely sincere perspective. The key to Sue Zuki's music is her vocals where she misanthropically preaches the records themes of psychological alienation and despair, trapped within an augmented virtual reality. Whilst trapped and unable to properly function inside this distorted simulation there are the bewildering sounds of a thousand voices and 'every conversation' unhealthily looping inside you're mind, through the echo chamber. Manifesting into a bleak neurotic obsession and feelings of inadequacy, a desperate plea, blinded and fatigued by the unnerving glare of the computer screen, processing too much information and not knowing if the human 'interactions' you're experiencing are genuine or artificial.
The trauma of this hollow existence is further emphasised with the combination of fragmented and jarring rhythmic grime percussive kick drums that is boosted by the metallic coiling density of detached, propulsive industrial structures. Synthetic frequencies writhe, becoming more lysergic as they progress. DnB tempos accelerate and shift in pitch as if in an erratic state of panic, dissonant foreboding drones absorb you as if drowning under the hypothermic pressure of the deepest, coldest and darkest frozen oceans. Throbbing sub bass fuelled with dread and agonising noise grips you into a suffocating claustrophobia, compressing further and further.
Rather than suppressing these feelings of insecurity and affliction there is a degree of exaggerated, self-deprecating sardonic humour that gradually unravels helping to confront the despondent nature of the record. Accompanied also by subdued, fragile and sunken RnB / Rhythm and Gloom vocals with desolate acoustic guitar fusions which overall provides an empathetic tone. Sue Zuki's music is a profound and startling glimpse into the growing cultural discomfort and paranoia of the conscious state of the human condition in the 21st Century.

New school electro wunderkind Privacy makes his debut on Klakson with a dark four tracker that checks all the right boxes. The EP kicks off with "Four IO", a haunting, spacey dubbed out acid roller with lush pads throughout. "U Can Tell" and "NCSC" are both specimens of the finest EBM tradition, re-interpreting the sound for 2017, while "Shove" on the B2 effortlessly transports us into deep, uptempo aquatic electro territory.

For the 4th release of the Viennese vinyl-only imprint, the Pomelo-Mastermind Dan Lodig provides a mysterious 4-tracker and shows again his versatility which perfectly fits to the whole concept of Yoshi.

The material collated on this third release from Heavenly Music Corporation was composed specifically for St. Giga in Japan, a satellite broadcast radio station transmitting ethereal audio harmony 24 hours a day. What made this station otherworldly was its programming; motivated by tidal movements, the aquatic ebbs and flows of each day synchronised to the activity and intensity of the music broadcast.
