Techno Vinyl New Releases - News

New York by way of Miami, Nick Klein has strung together an impressive discography over the last couple years releasing music for Alter, Ascetic House, and Bank among others, while at the same time handling his own Primitive Languages imprint bringing to life music by a wide range of cellar dwelling freaks. Some time in the making, we now see Klein with his debut on L.I.E.S. displaying, over four tracks, a wide range of production styles, each effective in their own right. From side-chained jack to peak red drum work outs to computer based minimalist bit destruction this ep proves to be a crushing statement from an artist coming into his own.

Presenting the new ssaliva release on Ekster: We Never Happened'. 180g vinyl packed in a pantone printed outer sleeve with drawing by Charles-Henry Sommelette. Comes with printed inner-sleeves and silk screened plastic oversleeve.

I am a vessel. A muffled mass. A bulk. Extent. A womb. I move. So I am neither here nor there. Always somewhere in between. To give substance to this frame, I carve out a piece of me. Sometimes a shape, sometimes a form. Into this space I pour the siege of me: words, pictures, you. So we can become me. Viscosity and temperature dictate the time it takes. When it is done, I break the mold I am. I take the cast inside and place it by the others. Choose one and take it home.

pure electro stuff by the french guys with full artworkcover !! great !!

Boys Noize about Midnight: 'I've had the vocal for a long time and I played with it in my DJ-sets but I never found the right angle to make this an actual song. My first attempt was this industrialbreak sort of idea but I kicked it away and tried many other versions. I thought I can do something like - XTC' but it just didn't work out. So, I decided to re-visit my very first idea and YES it became my favorite version. This process is a good example of trusting your initial feelings and intuition.'
Remixes by: Boys Noize & Mr. Oizo, Addison Groove, Audion and a vinyl exclusive by Cardopusher.

/DL/MS/ is the new project of Dan Lodig and Martin Sovinz, who have joined forces for a three-track debut of jacking analogue techno that brings both artists' fortes to the table. Dan Lodig contributes the rhythmics and staggering arpeggios. Martin Sovinz complements this with the eerie keys and masterful effect use that show off his impressive skills of putting his analogue gear park to work. Far from being a one-off project, /DL/MS/ have been working on their music over the past months, and further releases on Pomelo, TRUST, and more are on the horizon.

For their second collaboration on Odio, Arcanoid and Diffuse Arc continue to define their dreamy Electro signature sound with five cuts oscillating between ambient and downtempo.

The inaugural release on Mutual Friend Recordings is a collaboration between dc Sux and label owners Our Mutual Friend.

dc Sux is a producer that caught the ear of Radiohead collaborator Nigel Godrich (Atoms For Peace, Ultraista) in 2012, remixing Ultraista's 'Bad Insect' which was mastered by Godrich himself and included on the remix package of the groups debut album. Here his track 'Tulip' is an ethereal trip anchored by a warm bottom-end.

Our Mutual Friend have been DJ'ing together for a number of years, getting together recently to combine their production talents. Their remix of dc Sux 'Tulip' is the result of several live jams with the parts and their 909 drum machine, upping the pace and reinventing it for the dance floor.

'Body of Water' from Our Mutual Friend is as lush as it hypnotic, dc Sux remix of the track takes it techno. Mastering is courtesy of Dubplates & Mastering, Berlin and the run is limited to 200 records.

Massive boogie-heavy electro from Caustica Waveform main man Diffuse Arc on his fourth release, proper analog goodness!

Happa kicks off the year with the third 12' on his PT5 imprint and the first of several releases
planned for the mercurial Leeds producer in 2017. Lead track 'Bum Trance' pitches futurist Drexciya synth optimism against frantic metallic drum programming adding another level to Happa's increasingly diverse production armoury. Intense punk techno monster
'Hallunciations' first appeared in 2015 on various mix tapes and radio shows and now appears in it's full release to complete the 12'.

300 copies vinyl only!!! Hand made stamped.
Supported by nobody.

WEC004 has landed and brings some serious rave action to the table! The Glaswegian label showcases here the mysterious Power Inc. & Europe Hack with some heavy old skool analogue jamz, rave on!

Babyfather is a project featuring Dean Blunt (Hype Williams). 'Meditation' was co produced with Arca.

With steady basslines, vocal hooks and wiggly acid overtones, all four tracks have to be described as floor-fillers that more than capably stand up to home listening.

Detroit powerhouse DJ Stingray drops his latest EP on OTT label of the year 'Unknown To The Unknown'. With support in the bag from techno conquerors Lory D, Antony Shake Shakir , David Vunk & DJ Glow to rising knights Falty DL, Egyptrixx & 5kinadnbone5

At a time when the weekly flow of new albums, EPs and mixtapes come to exceed the number of e-mails that pile up in our inbox, the dazzle in Lokom's new double single is like the long anticipated rainfall season in a tropical country: nothing protrudes yet everything is present.
Totally melodic and surprisingly quiet despite its fabulous rhythmic complexity, Good News From Mars soothes like a perfect conversation in a sea of things left unsaid. At the same time dry, blazing and melancholic, Blurred Vision recalls the Brooklyn duo Team Shadetek in their early 2000 years, when the two were still hesitating between ambient warpish glitch and grime jolts. When combined, both tracks offer a vision inspired by the union in 2014 of electronica and experimental dance : an infinity of possibilities where hope still exists. Included Download card Inside

Following his recent outing as one half of Dot Product and a number of well-received EPs on Luke Slater's Mote Evolver label, Chris Jarman returns in his Kamikaze Space Programme guise for a new EP on Osiris Music uk. Opener Clickersintroduces a loop that permeates the entire track — an exercise in meditative repetition,KSP-style — followed by the sci-fi bleeps and sub-bass thuds of Pax. On the other side, Thalamic Transplant heads straight for the floor with more repetition: this time the alarm-like glitches ofw a malfunctioning spaceship. The EP closes with a version of'Clickers' reworked by label boss Mønic, complete with half-time cavernous kicks and cosmos-sized reverbs.

Where To Now Records are proud to present the debut 12' from Dublin based Melly. On 'Flying Ducks' Melly gives us four varied cuts that showcase his unique and unrestricted style of body music beautifully.

On 'Skip Fire' Melly takes sinister raves sounds and fires them across a core of ever intensifying percussion. The drums, with their apparent simplicity and almost swaggering or brutishly insistent presence, become a powerful statement. When placed amid elements more readily associated with techno / hardcore we are invited to enjoy a, perhaps, more rudimentary sounding form of rhythmic embellishment, but one that becomes just as deep, complex and intrinsic to the composition's power. The roaring percussion morphs into a sustained and highly pressured pulse ... The sirens sound, bodies assemble, the firing range begins, melee ensues.

The title track 'Flying Ducks' comes across like a reflection on an attempted aura of organisation and calm amid a scene of chaos. Much like the assumed title association of the duck presumably struggling in flight, v-shaped and temporarily structured, battling against the tumultuousness force of nature... perhaps. The beat threading it's way through the track guides us through a seemingly spontaneous and ever present soundscape that calls to mind the crepuscular canopy of an imagined digital rainforest with all its strange interjections and growing chorus of unique voices. Throughout this track, and the whole record infact, Melly's sound takes on an almost Post-Punk/Minimal wave edge that also completely embraces the level of experimentation and universal musical influence associated with that era.

On hand to assist in remixing 'Skip Fire' into a ferocious dancefloor destroyer is friend and fellow Dubliner Lumigraph (Mister Saturday Night, Opal Tapes, Major Problems), moulding the roaring percussion into a complete blaze of fury, demolishing everything it touches whilst still holding close a deep low end groove. A woozy synth line eases the pressure at times, but after every break the fire returns with further intensity and rage.

Melly rounds things off with 'Windproof'. The strutting pulse returns but this time concerns are certainly centred more on experiments in bass and timbre rather than an all out exploratory descent into controlled chaos. Coming across like a lost On-U-Sound cut, 'Windproof' allows itself the space to explore dubbed out ghostly sonars, radiophonic transmissions, and haunted rewinds.

EMEX is the emergent techno act of George Apergis and Alex Retsis, powered by KORG Synthesizers. Inspired by mathematics and digital electronics, already supported by Marcel Dettmann, Truncate, Drumcell, Jonas Kopp, Bas Mooy, Pfirter, Lag and many others. Their debut EP is a conceptual fusion of dancefloor techno with atmospheric overtones, first track 00110001 is a minimal opener with pounding chords and Detroit style influences, second track 00110010 progresses into darker territories while the fundamental grooves become infused with moody flavors and third track 00110011 transpires from harder realms, concluding the release with its almost acidic basslines and trippy arpeggios.
Early Support by Marcel Dettmann, Drumcell, Truncate, Jonas Kopp, Bas Mooy, Pfirter, Lag, Dave Tarrida, Alex Bau, Alexander Kowalski, Developer, Slam, Mark Broom, 2000 And One, Mikael Jonasson, Damon Wild, I/Y, Submerge, Lee Holman, Arnaud Le Texier, Antonio De Angelis, Ray Kajioka, Liss C., Maceo Plex, Gel Abril, Paul Mac, Joseph Capriati, Sasha Carassi, Pierre Deutschmann, Carlio Lio, Marco Bailey, Axel Karakasis, Stanny Franssen, Sender Berlin, Angel Molina, Xpansul, Krenzlin, Noah Pred, Matt Cooper, Plural, Will Kinsella, Patrik Carrera, Barker, Enrico Sangiuliano, Matrixxman, Gotshell, Signal Deluxe and many more

Herva, of Delsin, Kontra, MOS and All City fame, offers another set of forward-thinking dancefloor bombs. Across four tracks this young Italian demonstrates his unique interpretation of the past and the future again and again.

Herva is the artist name of Herve Atsè Corti. He was born in 1991, and has been surrounded by music from the beginning thanks to his family. He made a reputation for himself early on at high school as a talented drummer, but, intrigued by electronic music he decided to start making his own beats with a laptop. A few years later Bosconi Records released his early productions, both as Herva both and as Life's Track (a side project with Dukwa). He is also part of Tru West, a collective he founded with Mass Prod, Rufus and Raffaele Amenta.

Robot Dystopia - limited to 150 copies

bit trancy like border community - phat !!! this pressing contains an exclusive italian remix !!

5th No Symbols by Beneath.

Another fierce release from Gauss coming soon

As with his recent trip as Africans With Mainframes and dedicated to that Gherkin Life, we can hear bustling, latinate breakbeats slipping into the mix with his ruff yet piquant banger The Papyrus of Ani, whereas The Hall of Two Truths is anchored in his signature distorted kicks whilst the man flies around the higher registers with glassy, avian motifs and deep house piano chords.

Italy-born, Dublin-based producer Leopoldo Rosa aka Lerosa returns with his second EP in 2016. and continues a string of excellent releases for Croatian label Barba. Lerosa, as the newest addition to the label's roster, fits perfectly alongside the likes of LD Nero, Alex Cortex, Heinrich Dressel, DJ Stingray, FBK, Gosub, Perseus Traxx and Marco Bernardi. EP titled "Your Soul" comes as the 9th release of Barba, and is very much in the area of previous ones - heady, mental and diverse. As is expected from a producer releasing on such a broad spectrum of labels (Uzuri, Lunar Disco, Further Records, Ostgut Ton, Ferox, Apartment Records, Quintessentials, A Touch of Class, D1, Enclave, Real Soon, ...) Lerosa effortlessly manoeuvres between genres on this 4-tracker, while at the same time keeping the overall sound and vibe consistent. 303-reminiscent synth serves as an underlying leitmotif which appears in every track, but in a different manner. Blood is an obvious A1, direct and trippy techno with a misty mood. With Duelist Lerosa wears his electro suit, while maintaining the atmosphere sketched out by the first track. Ghost sits right in between the first two, with its 1/2 tempo serving justice to the track's feeling of neither resting nor moving. B2, Your Soul, is a house track with an elegant Lerosa twist on the classic Chicago vibe.

First release on Jheri Tracks early 2017 from Melly // Usual rules - limited copies / Screen print cover.

Four synth heavy techno gems by Tape owner Deniro.

On A Business Trip To London is an album of curious electronics and sissy dance conceived under the shadow of Big Ben by Vivid Extreme. Initial research carried out at Ibis City Hotel, London; purple nail polish applied in Berlin and New York City. The result is the perfect and perhaps overdue meeting of emasculated P.E, limp-wristed ornamental industrial, sickly minimal synth and cheap suntanned trollop techno. What's more, its tinny rhythmic ringtone cycles of humiliation and debasement evince an unlikely humanity: there is yearning behind the red ballgag and loud make-up cake; Duck's piggy eyes betray an implacable melancholy. Indeed, despite the sexually explicit nature of its content, On A Business Trip To London is a highly accessible and often disarmingly pretty work which will appeal to the belissima ballerina in all working men. Required listening for all who admire those qualities most fascinating in a woman: allure, magnetism, power and dominance. Exploring Jezebel has been active since 2008's Locking Up The Husband's Penis Is Not Slavery, But Rather The Greatest Act Of Kindness Given To A Man and Attending UCLA Lecture On Forced Feminization, and notable releases since include the 12-hour, 8-cassette set Penis Torture Chamber (2010) and 2014's Performs For Her And Her Bulls (all Hospital Productions). On A Business Trip To London is Exploring Jezebel's first vinyl offering, and is presented in a full colour gatefold sleeve with two printed inserts; the album will also be issued on CD and digital formats. This release is for ADULTS ONLY. It contains uncensored sexually explicit material unsuitable for minors. You must be at least 18 to purchase this item. Access and/or ownership may be prohibited in certain states/countries.

He's not what you'd call a prolific producer but the old saying of 'quality over quantity' couldn't ring truer for Marcellis. With just 3 releases in the last 12 years starting with a single on 2004, followed by an EP on Workshop and then his album on Millions Of Moments, any new work is highly anticipated.
Its been a long time coming for Nonplus but every bit worth the wait. 3 tracks covering a range of styles from the ice cold analogue quirkiness of 'Sleep', to the bumping 4/4 offering of 'Indigo Skyfold' through to the jazzed out chugger 'Can They Do Tha (G Love Real Raw)' its an honour to have Marcellis as an addition to the catalogue.

Second venue on this superb Techno dark and Electro label... DJ Friendly like the 1st one (tunes sames speed). Exciting release !

Dj Nephil first solo debut ep on Gravitational Waves. Techno, Electro, Analog, Deep.

One more time Carlos Martin aka Mynationshit has just produced an emotive and gloomy work. This new album which is the fifth is called 'Malevolent Charmer' and once again this carries on telling us about the ethical conflict between good and evil, nature and built environments and even admiration and comedown. Dark and catchy melodies, epic beats and nostalgic atmospheres for the first Waste´s edition where he is a part of this label with his brother Alejandro Martin and Avencio Delgado. On this occasion ,this work comes out with an outstanding design by Alonso Urbanos who loves like Carlos Martin ,martial arts and Asian culture and obscure folklore. As well,this album comes out with a professional audio studio work by Elias Saura and Pablo Moreno(Irradian).

Yoshi deliver his new EP on Libertine Records with 3 deep and electro tinged tracks...

Lywood has worked alongside some of the most prestigious names in art, fashion, music and film - from Led Zeppelin to Louis Vuitton, The Venice Biennale to The Serpentine Art Gallery, in a career spanning over 20 years. JUNK sees Lywood stepping into the limelight for the first time with these eight epic psychedelic dance-floor and spaced out instrumental visions.
JUNK is inspired by Vik Muniz's ground-breaking documentary Waste Land, which tells the story of the landfill site, Jardim Gramacho, on the outskirts of Rio De Janeiro. Recycling fragments of German electronica, disco and 80's synth from his childhood and fusing these with new, found sounds, Lywood takes us on a journey through his world of JUNK re-imagined.
Five of the tracks are named after some of the largest landfill sites around the world, and Trash Vortex is named after the swirling mass of plastic waste the size of Texas, in the North Pacific. Lywood stays close to Muniz's mission to 'change the lives of a group of people with the same material that they deal with everyday'.** Cover artwork by Keith Coventry, the celebrated fine artist represented by Pace Gallery**
The debut Cochabamba album comes courtesy of respected sound designer and fine artist Dan Lywood!

Romb is back with an analogue attack! A raw & filthy 4-track vinyl features some of the Stockholm's true underground producers showing respect to the early days,but choosing their own direction. nice one!

After showcasing the debut releases from The High On Wye Quintet (Magic Mountain High, Soulphiction and Steevio) and Monoak, the Freerotation label returns with a various artists 12' featuring four more artists intrinsically linked by the annual festival. Anthony Child, aka Surgeon, has been a regular fixture since first appearing at Freerotation in 2011. His recent exploration of modular synthesis and use of the Buchla Music Easel has found a home in the ambient yurt at the festival, and equally has manifested in album projects such as 2015's Electronic Recordings From Maui Jungle Vol 1. Unconscious Fearless Determination' follows on from this more experimental, less dancefloor-focused side to Child's work, while still pulsing with the techno fundamentals that quickly defined him back in the mid '90s. Duckett hails from North Wales, and has been a key part of the Freerotation fabric since the beginning of the event. After some releases on Mindtours, MindYourHead and Sthlmaudio back in the mid-'00s, his music has started to reach a new audience through releases on UntilMyHeartStops and a clutch of lauded live performances. Breaks My Heart When I Remember That Day' captures the alien synthesis and emotional heft that singles Duckett out as such a remarkable artist. Steevio is the co-founder of Freerotation and Mindtours Records, responsible for a huge swathe of techno releases reaching back to the '90s. As well as his releases on Mindtours, he has recently appeared on UntilMyHeartStops and in collaboration with Pev on Schmorgabsord, and is set to appear on Russ Gabriel's new label Rivers Of Groove. With its expressive swells of off-kilter melody and snaking drum lines, Pendulum' continues the thread of exploration Steevio has been following on his journey into experimental modular techno. Tom Ellis has been prolifically issuing forth material in a soul-enriched space in between house, techno and funk for more than ten years. From running the acclaimed Trimsound label to releasing albums and singles on Telegraph, Archipel, Hartchef Discos and more recently Ethereal Sound to name but a few, Tom's recorded work and immersive live performances continue to reach out to new moods and timbres. As A Take' finds Tom at his most reflective, layering on dubby effects and organic instrumentation in a truly meditative end to the EP.

REPRESSED !!
