Techno Vinyl New Releases - News

Italy's Donato Dozzy constructs nearly an hour of dense ambient fog & early morning techno for his mesmeric debut album 'K'. Initially only available as a limited edition cassette tape - that completely vanished within 48 hours of release - all 9 tracks are finally available on this luxury 2x12" vinyl package with professionally printed full colour silk screen artwork on a heavy stock chipboard jacket.

Creme Organization returns in July with four searing electro cuts from Dutchman Ekman. Mixing up West Coast electro with tougher, more textured techno styles in recent releases for Berceuse Heroique and Bedouin Record, this artist is as much about the past as the future and proves that across this new and impressive set of tracks. Doomsday Argument is not as dark as you would expect form the name: its a lithe and slippery electro affair with crisp snares and gurgling bass all topped off by a freaky top line. The Great Filter mixes up distorted bass with rippling glass synths and sounds both spooky and cosmic, then Post Singularity Day picks up the pace with a quick and urgent Drexcyian style that is restless, dynamic and busy. Last of all Antifragile is a wild acid workout with rocking beats and ripping 303s that twitch every nerve in your body.

4 tracks from Lukid on the first Glum release in 5 years. For the adventurous DJ's DJ.

Sequenced and recorded in using synths like Roland 909, Roland Juno 106, Akai Cassette Deck GXC 325D, MFB 522, Doepfer Modular, Telefunken M15A...

So this is the tune you've been hearing all summer in Ibiza. Many of the world's biggest djs have been playing it, it's had something like a million plays on Youtube and didn't even require a sponsored post on Facebook.

The 2nd release on Youth comes from London artist Shamos. With Lyster having met Shamos through NTS it wasn't long before they were DJ'ing together around parties in London and Shamos began sharing music with him. Shamos, who last released on Funkinevens Apron label, comes with a heavy 4 tracker bringing the punkier dregs of new wave, dreamy abstract house and tripped out hardware jams, on limited red vinyl.

Formed in 1997, and inaugurated that year with a split 12' from new-comers and label founders, Solvent and Lowfish, this year Suction Records celebrates it's 20th anniversary with the re-introduction of their famed Snow Robots series of compilations. While originally started as a North American answer to UK electronix labels like Rephlex, Skam and Warp Records, a sound that is still a staple of the current Suction Records catalog, Suction's sound has also swerved into new territories, reflecting our love of dark '80s electronic music - synthpop, EBM, and beyond.... Snow Robots Volume 4 features an international array of artists, from Suction Records mainstays like Digital Poodle, June, Celldöd, and Ceramic Hello (with their much sought-after 1982 vocoder anthem), to label-favourites appearing on Suction Records for the first time: Beau Wanzer, Morah, and one of Skanfrom/Sleeparchive's lesser known aliases, Civil Defence Programme.

Shipwrec is delighted to welcome an electro pioneer into the fold. Larry McCormick has been at the coal face of machine music for two decades, carving razor sharp cuts under his Exzakt alias whilst spearheading future funk on his exemplary Monotone Records. Intelectro exemplifies twenty years of experience, twenty years of music production and twenty years of talent. "Banger" does exactly what it says, a crunching work that breaks with millisecond-perfect precision before deeper layers are unfurled. "Vibes" feels like three compositions combined. From its spacious intro the track dives into acid chords before resurfacing in refined warmth. Vintage grooves open "Rocker" with some extra muscle added through heavy kicks as samples circle to an ever tighter noose. Styles shift and strafe across the quartet leaving the lines of set expectations to blur and ultimately disappear. "Ride Low" is the final proof of this, understated percussion leading to sky soaring sytnhlines and free flowing harmonies. A 12" that melds disparate sounds with frightening ease, an artist bridging electro past, present and future.

This is the ninth EP on FireScope Records, the new sub-label of the legendary B12 Records.

Although B12 output has been the solo work of Steven since 2015-2017, this time he steps outside of the B12 name and releases under his own name. One of the founders of UK Techno, he has released on labels such as Warp Records UK, B12 Records, Soma Records, Delsin Records, FireScope Records, ART , Buzz and De:Tuned.

The EP entitled 'From Me To You' is all about the sharing and passing on of feelings and emotions from another place. It touches on sadness, joy and gratitude.

'Down And Down' is a Sombre Title: where is down and down to where Don't be fooled into thinking that this is another journey into darkness. This track is pure and glorious uplifting Techno but once again with an alter-ego of melancholy. A pensive string/pad line underpins the track, which is dominated by a glorious slide riff that takes the helm and propels it forward.

'Decliner Box' is manic depression in a music form. A very simple tune, it's about mental decline with some nifty 808 programming. It is so simple and sounds like 'anyone could do this' yet in conjunction with the moody pads, really captures the imagination and drifts you away.

'The Life Giver' is dedicated to the life giver and 'a power greater than me'. It has Rutter's trademark quirky drum programming, a strong feature of the producer's current output these past 2 years. Crunchy and almost disjointed, they all hold together. There is no real baseline here, but with a siren to the heavens throughout with pads and slide riffs interwoven, it becomes a tune of hope and emotion.

'The Battle Continues' is the third instalment in the 'Battle' series of tracks with its predecessors being 'Battle Within' on FireScope 001 and 'Battle Deep Within' on Touched - Music for Macmillian Cancer Support 35. This time, 'The Battle Continues' is a tune of two parts. Slow moving and very deep drums and percussion with emotive synth parts take us to
the first part of this ride. Around 3:20, phase two begins with a soundscape that reminds one of being on some kind of train journey of human suffering -- a train to a very dark place.
Finished in glorious yellow and white splatter vinyl with exclusive full colour artwork by Steven's wonderful friend, Sarah Sparkes.

Special hand-stamped release available in limited quantities during the Amsterdam Dance Event at Rush Hour Store.
3 tracks previously available only on cassette compilations, now re-mastered by Rude66, expect a load of dark electro / wave / acid madness.

First release on Trevor Jacksons new unreleased archive recordings label 'Pre-' is a timeless collection of twisted techno, militant EBM and filthy electro produced by Jackson himself and featuring vocals from Douglas (Nitzer Ebb) Mcarthy & Chloe from C.A.R. Originally produced in 2003 as a Playgroup side project, Pinklunch made its debut with a demo track on a Dj Hell International Deejay Gigolo Compilation, tracks also appeared on compilations for the exclusive Parisian department store Collette and the Berlin club F.U.N.

Canadian Tiga and Finnish Electronic-Maestro Zyntherius collaborates again for the first time in about 15 years. Mostly know for the monster cover-hit "Sunglasses at Night" their new output is shorter (about 2:30) and states minds driven by a pop approach lost in underground music these days - trance infused, modern & one-sided.

CEM3340 continues the Lunar Orbiter Program with a second mission: Polaris 2°. Mastered at Reel Mastering, London

The first record in 9 years from Irish talent Ikeaboy - two bleepy techno tracks and 'Dayna' finally seeing a vinyl release.

Arnold Steiner delivers a no nonsense classic electro EP with Mood Sequence offering 3 on point original tracks and a remix offered by Juan Atkins + Kimyon Huggins.

Moody 6 track compilation from this excellent Berlin based imprint.

1991-2 revisited.

CPU and dance music's polymath Neil Landstrumm share a love for classic bleep techno, hence Landstrumm has brought to the table four superb reminders of the criminally short lived genre.

With spine tingling melodies reminiscent of 808 State's best work, and sub-bass worthy of LFO's bass-bin shaking reputation - A Death, a Mexican and a Mormon perfectly encapsulates not only Landstrumm's influences but also his deep seated love for bleep. A labour of love which the Sheffield based imprint has been only all too happy to encourage and hopes will keep the genre alive for generations to come.

We turn to Chapter 3 as we introduce a brace of remixes by easily one of our favourite DJ's and producers; the one and only Lena Willikens!
We haven't really went in for remixes much before with the label, as we feel strongly about the power of the original. In the right hands, a great remix can be equally as powerful though and Lena has succeeded in bringing her own weird and wonderful sounds to a track from each preceding chapter - rRoxymore from Chapter 1 and Oslo Gabon from Chapter 2 - whilst still keeping true to the original work.

After the long awaited and acclaimed return of the notorious Manie Sans De´lire on June Records, one-half of the group, Trenton Chase, returns on the label with a bold solo LP marking his departure from the sound of his previous releases on the imprint.

For his first album attempt, Trenton embarks on the search for everything and manages to encapsulate the whole essence of the June Records ethos within 43 minutes of music.
Although initially not planned as an album, Deadlock was conceived organically as it only took a few months for its completion during the artist's most abundant 2017 studio spring sessions.

This body of work transcends formulaic attempts to showcase a very refreshing and uncompromising take on synth music. Chase followed a crude approach to songwriting, rehearsing and improvising live until the best take would eventually become the final track. Artwork by Florent Mazzocchetti.

This is the new release by berlin based techno duo I/Y. the music is part of an interdisciplinary project between the international artist collective exc and I/Y which included an exhibition in a downstairs parking lot, the publication of the artistbook "pxrkxnglxt 2" together with the novel "raum in einem raum" by exc-co-founder eric keil and a short unmoved silent film for which I/Y did the soundtrack. This soundtrack now comes as an exclusive vinyl release along with an inlay artist edition, showing the dark scenery where the" film" takes action...
The artist book and the novel are published on rhein verlag and will also be distributed as a special edition together with the record at papierundgelb.de.
Vinyl comes with limited edition artwork by EXC Artist collective (high quality print)
Dolphins control the moon. It's quite far-fetched, but what if dolphins are indeed dangerous super intelligent creatures that created a secret base underwater from which they control a mercury-fueled spacecraft From the Earth's natural satellite, they can manipulate our minds with a special signal vastly known as the I/Y XXX sound wave. Think about it, question everything.
This is the beginning of a new series for the label, which will probably showcase different collaborations with dolphins and artists from different fields.
So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish

INNERSPACE is a new imprint from Croatia's underground featuring extremely hot and mind-bending electro tracks from MORPHOLOGY and SILICON SALLY!

Jesse Pimenta is a Brazilian-born, LA-grown artist who has previously released on Nous Disques as well as on his own Private Selection imprint. Side A brings two slamming cuts fit for all-out dance floor annihilation whilst Side B delves into more psychotropic yet punkish zones.

We are really honoured to present a 12'' EP collaboration between the mexican band Ford Proco and the legendary UK electronic pioneers Peter Christopherson/John Balance aka Coil.
Ford Proco were formed in 1986 in Tijuana and they are considered the godfathers of the industrial electronic music in Mexico.

The story behind the recording of the two tracks is like a fairy tale.. apparentely the band members Robert Proco (sampler & synthesizers) and Wito Lavolt (bass, keyboards & drums) met Peter Christopherson in Los Angeles in the occasion of The Orb show back in the 90s and they exchanged phones & emails. Months later 'Sleazy' call and invited them as extras for Ice-T videos..

The tracks were composed following the method of the 'expansión naranja'; Peter Christopherson was adding sax, drums and effects, while John Balance provided his magnificient voice.

Both the tracks were originally recorded in Autumn 1999 and they are unreleased on vinyl. The tracks were directly transferred from the original DCC (Digital Compact Cassette) and remastered by the mighty Rude 66.

Artificial Dance is a new record label from Amsterdam. This is the imprint's debut release. It is the first ever release from young Dutch DJ/producer Job Sifre, previously best known for his fortnightly Antikunst show on esteemed Amsterdam institution Red Light Radio.
Worries offers an extended glimpse at Sifre's unique musical vision. It is one that draws heavily on vintage electronic music for inspiration, but also feels fresh and futurist in tone. In turns dark, industrial, hypnotic and mind-altering, the six-track EP bristles with impactful moments of magic.

Check, for example, the gnarled, Mascara-clad intoxication of Element', where fuzz-laden, end-of-days guitars, snaking Middle Eastern style melodies and gruff vocals wrap themselves around cranky drum machine beats. It's like classic European industrial music re-imagined for the 21st century. Then there's Flotter', whose throbbing arpeggio bassline, lo-fi machine drums and foreboding synthesizer melodies combine to create a chilling but muscular mood.

Sifre's love of electronic body music can be heard within the bustling, all-action bassline, fizzing electronics, razor-sharp guitar riffs and matter-or-fact vocals of Worries'. Our young hero continues in a similar vein on pulsating dancefloor bubbler Intex Excursions', which sounds a little like forgotten heroes of 1980s industrial funk dancing all night with modern Dutch electro maestros.

The twisted, distorted nature of Sifre's far-sighted approach is given further weight via A Dime 4ur Decline', an apocalyptic stroll through skittish machine drums, panicked electronics, modular style bleeps and haunting strings.

A sterling debut outing is completed by the EP's mind-altering moment: Planet Stoner'. As clattering percussion hits and clandestine bass whisk us towards an unknown destination, undulating electronic motifs, spiraling synthesizer lines and drifting Arabic flute samples join forces to ratchet up the intensity. By the time the track reaches its breathless conclusion, you'll be in no doubt about Sifre's production credentials.

A stand-out track from the Bleep:10 compilation released earlier this year, Untold's incredible 'That Horn Track' finally sees a 12" release.

After being premiered on Pearson Sound's excellent Resident Advisor mix, the track gained further play from Mary-Anne Hobbs, James Blake and Tessela on their respective BBC Radio shows and residencies.

If that was not enough, Berlin techno royalty Marcel Dettmann remixes the track for the flip side of the 12". Marcel transforms Untold's hectic original composition into a slow-building sublime exercise in dread-techno production and pummeling drums.

Take a listen for yourselves and let the music make the impression, not our words.

Re-Press!! 2nd EP after their great debut "Collar EP" on Elected Tunes. Early support by Stephan Bodzin, Tomcraft, Nudisco, Len Faki, DJ Misjah, Monika Kruse, Franco Bianco, Oliver Klein, James Zabiela, Superstrobe and many more.

Lost Trax embody the idea of underground techno. The shadowy group, members unknown, began their music careers over 20 years ago. Output may be low, but quality is high; the style being no compromise techno brilliance. And that's what's on show here. Kick drums and squirming acid bars are at the core of "Faith", a track where soaring strings shift and reshape. The chiselled claps and barbed bass of "Flatliner" follows, taking its cue from the heyday of Detroit. A watery world of analogue abstraction greets the listener on the flip, "Lost" being an atmospheric journey into to the squelching swamps of the TB303. Sniping beats introduce the lush tones of "Renderer." Blurring the lines of electro and techno the track is an elegant end to an EP of deep and dense layers.

The essential UK Techno/Electronics duo returns after decades! ' New Aural Discourse' holds four fresh, futuristic and far-sighted British takes on Detroit techno by arguably one of British 1990's electronic music's best-kept secrets. TIP!
'New Aural Discourse' is N.A.D.'s comeback release after over 25 years. Initially, the duo Tony Thorpe and Mustafa Ali released one album, 'The Dawn Of A New Age' which was on sale for little more than a week before it vanished from record store shelves.
'The Dawn Of A New Age' was recorded in only a week, inspired by two of Ali's greatest passions: science fiction and his Islamic faith. Decades after it was created, N.A.D's forgotten debut album became something of a 'must-have' for electronic music collectors."New Aural Discourse" is the perfect alias for N.A.D.'s new release. It follows "The Dawn Of A New Age', featuring four energetic tracks that transcend the duo's original ideas and sound.

After a string of outstanding releases on some of our favourite electro labels, Seattle's Chris Roman aka 214 joins ranks at Lunar Disko to present the 'Talus Loop' EP.
214 has developed into a true master of the atmospheric electro sound, and once again showcases this talent on the 'Talus Loop' EP. A fusion of intricately textured techno and electro, combined with lush ethereal soundscapes transport the listener to a far away and otherworldly dimension.
Futuristic Hi-Tech electro and techno from a producer of the purist form.
