Goes beyond "Simulations," w/"Dimensions" that has a bassline as catchy as Newcleus & the rest is deep & raw 808s & transparent, sweeping textures; built like minimal-synth yet grooves into electro/Italo orbit

Shlomi Aber's new 12" slides perfectly into the Nonplus catalogue with two slabs of straight up no nonsense techno. With well over 15 years of production history and 20 years of DJ'ing across the globe he knows exactly what it takes to move a dance floor.

Israel born and raised but heavily influenced by the old Detroit techno movement shlomi managed to balance his roots into the modern wave of the current techno peers . Working from an Aladdin's cave of analogue gear he crafts a raw and groove laden sound often attempted but rarely achieved by others.
Takeover and Street Works are two tracks demonstrating he's a producer who's mastered his craft and is at the top of his game right now.

Arising from the underground of Neukölln in Berlin, this Polish-Danish duo brings pulsating beats and bass lines together with vintage synthesizers and analog drum machines, as well as self-customized and bended low-bit instruments. 77™ takes a conceptually different approach to each release, which usually is visually supported by experimental videos/animations.

Their remix for Millimetric's 'Negative Leaders' EP has been released on Space Factory Records.

Debut album for this electronic duo from Poland. Marcin Regucki and Pawel Strzelec combines in a very unique way elements from different styles: industrial, techno, electronic pop and post-punk.

"We live in the kingdom of noise, information overflow, misinformation & disorientation. Ever rushing, we grasp disconnected words, unfinished thoughts, repeated ideas.
We consume relationships, sandwiches, art.
We want freedom but don't know how to be free.
We close up in the world of definition, scheme, calculation and
manipulation.
Post-modernism, post-punk, post-communism, great post.
Overload's overload, tiredness of being tired.
Has everything been done before
... Alles."

45 ACP get's the torrent treatment.... Big vibing tracks from this chameleon of a producer. Insane one! TIP!

Auden's third EP sees the shadowy producer stride familiar lengths of eclecticism while dipping into fresh sources of inspiration.

The title track yearns for the glory days of UK Rave with its sunrise chords overlaying broken beats and drops of acid. The homage is all but shorn on Alan Fitzpatrick's remix as he contemporises it into a techno bomb with a breakdown to remember. Flexing typical versatility, 'Simmer Down' provides the counterpoint with rolls, bounces and jacks in equal measure while 'Sewer System' rounds off the EP in a blissed-out discordant ambience.

'No Tag No Food' is the third 12-inch from Philadelphia-based artist M//R (Magnetic Resonance) and his first on Details Sound. After releasing 2014's well-received 'Gathering Response Data EP' on Great Circles imprint and a single on Ron Morelli's L.I.E.S., M//R is back with a strong bundle of four tracks, steadily making his mark on the scene of contemporary techno.
This record is a proper electronic weapon, from the slowed down pounding impulse of total burner 'No Tag No Food' to the suspended rhythm of atmospheric 'Idyll' which brings the listener into a gravity-free dimension.

The second release of Rotterdam-based Electronic Emergencies is a 3-track 12" by the mysterious project SOS of unknown origin. Title track Wallonie is a dark and melodic electrotech monster, while Aqua is a broody and even darker affair. On the B side, Wallonie is remixed by Moustache Records' David Vunk and Electronic Emergencies' own Spacemaker in early Rotterdam techno style.

One per person!!! Following her debut on the Music for Shut-Ins compilation, Antenes concocts three tracks of otherworldly techno on L.I.E.S straight from her NYC workshop. TIP!
*Antenes operates a laboratory of self-made analog sequencers and synth modules built and manipulated in the name of rhythmic, sonic and spatial exploration. Antenes' signal path transforms synthesizers into sequences that burst with percussive energy, bouncing sound through sound like so many fuzzy AM radio stations clipping during a late night drive. The result is a sound fundamentally unique and viscerally propulsive that shuttles dancers into a vortex of electro pulses. *

The prodigal DUKE returns to Turbo triumphant after two UK #1 singles in Need U (100%) and I Got U.

Getting a number one single is an extraordinary achievement. Getting two is a whole other level. Even KLF, who literally wrote the book on how to write a #1 hit (The Manual) only managed to do it once. Duke Dumont's talent was first recognized in 2007 when Tiga signed his Regality EP, and further developed through the mentorship of Switch, but for years he seemed destined to stay under-the-radar, another brilliant artist toiling in relative obscurity, his fantastic remixes working wonders on dance-floors while his name was a footnote to the success of bigger names.

All that started to change in 2012 with For Club Play Only vol I & II on Turbo, with 'Street Walker' getting a swell of underground support and 'The Giver' following up as one of the crossover club hits of the year. His follow-up launch of the Blasé Boys Club label with the #1 hit 'Need U (100%)' propelled him to instant stardom, and incredibly he managed to follow-up in rapid fire with interim single 'Hold On' and then a second #1 in 'I Got U ft. Jax Jones'. It's an astonishing success story primed to continue with the forthcoming 'Won't Look Back.'

So it comes as a welcome surprise to also get this third instalment of For Club Play Only, a return to stripped-down party bombs, with just enough hook to make the tracks unforgettable. 'Slow Dance' is a guaranteed floor-filler built from a killer bassline, sexy vocal sample, crisp drums and a wiggly acid outro. 'Mumble Man' is another infectious, instantly-gratifying hand-raiser, and possibly the best scat track since Scatman John. 'Nicht Vor Mitternacht' sees the Duke flexing his EDM muscles, foregoing vocals for total synth domination, designed to work with the biggest hiss cannons the world has ever seen. Bonafide stadium wrecker. Finally, 'Drumapella' is a dope DJ tool, a functional weapon to layer in the mix or leave in it's sparse banging glory.

DJ, producer, all-round music connoisseur and entertainer, Jean Nipon, drops a dope new EP on ClekClekBoom after his first effort for the label released in late 2012....TIP!
This is a brand new sound for him and quite a big move from the functional future bass aesthetics he then designed. The "Nice Seeing You" EP is all about unfossilized beats, shady, reminiscent vibrations from an entirely fictional past and a taste for used-ness and aging when it comes to textures. Shaky drums and hi hats sound as if they'd been cured in ancient jars and keyboards work like lo-fi, mystical instruments from electronic primitive tribes. These are four house grooves that you can dance to, but not just only in a club - as well as in a inner space of yours, in some place dedicated to uplifting melancholy and ecstatic introspection. This moves in a different way that most of the dance music you hear these days, since it's both oblique and not focussed on the effect it's supposed to generate. Four touching tracks from someone who likes his house deep, remote and brittle.

Wolfers incorporating uplifting, dreamy synth sequences alongside his instantly recognizable gritty floor-fillers. The title track is such a killer...future classic!
Danny Wolfers (most frequently known as Legowelt) is a producer and performer who has worn many hats, all of them styled with finesse. His range is immense but never disparate; through releases for Clone, L.I.E.S., Creme Organization and Peoples Potential Unlimited (among others) Legowelt has spanned everything from frosty techno, sprawling boogie and melodic acid house to chugging electro without sacrificing bonafide quality or pandering to the fad du jour. In his newest effort, a debut EP for Fotomachine's Technicolour imprint entitled Anaconda Flow, listeners are treated to that dynamism in its very finest form. Uplifting, dreamy synth sequences are incorporated alongside his instantly recognizable gritty floor-fillers for a four-piece package that will both delight the home listener and devastate the dance. His long-demonstrated devotion to hardware is utilized here to extraordinary effect: blips bubble to a murky surface, twinkles cascade from above and a kick drum pulses straight through everything it touches—all in all a darkly immersive little jewel, though who would have expected any less

Two epic tracks that have a dark, dystopian feel - merging a hallucinatory approach to sound design with a dense dub undercurrent... club thumping business on The Bunker New York....TIP!

Marco Shuttle leads a double life. By day, he works as a well-respected fashion designer; at night, he crafts exquisite techno. Through his meticulous approach, he
developed a unique aesthetic that appeals to music cognoscenti across the globe. In the past year, he's appeared at many prestigious festivals and clubs, including Labyrinth in Japan, Fabric in London, and Berghain in Berlin.

We discovered Marco's music the old fashioned way in 2012, when we picked up his Clone Store Only Series record at Halcyon in Brooklyn. Since then, he released a
series of 12's on his own Eerie imprint that turned our heads completely inside out.

Last year, we invited Marco to play his first stateside gigs here at The Bunker and Chicago's Smart Bar. He played us two unreleased tracks that we instantly knew
would fit on our record label. Even though it would be eight months before our first 12' was released, Marco had faith in our ability to make the label happen and the
patience to wait for this amazing music to be released as The Bunker New York 006.

Since its inception 12 years ago, Silicone Soul's Darkroom Dubs label has been a consistent and reliable source of heady, shoe-gazing club material. Previous releases over this expansive period have included original productions from the likes of Dubspeeka, Dimitri Veimar and Extrawelt as well as remixes from Robag Wruhme, Chicken Lips and Paul Woolford amongst many others.


Now, after a slew of acclaimed 12" EPs and a string of CD compilations and albums, Darkroom Dubs prepare to cut their first LP to wax, which comes from Portuguese newcomer Pedro Aguiar. Brimful of spectral intensity, Aguiar's 'Landscapes and Heartbreaks' is an uninhibited package of field recordings and otherworldly tones that stay close to the aesthetic Darkroom Dubs fans hold dear and also inaugurate the label's landmark step into the world of Long Play records.

Just as the title suggests, the LP sonically explores the topography of an often- mournful setting and kicks off with the deeply cinematic 'Western Digital' before the cold, mechanical character of 'The Ceremony' layers bit-crushed textures with metallic, atonal drones. Hypnagogia then sets a rich and busy groove stuttering inside a cloudy cavern before 'Black Palm' spreads rich, undulating sweeps over sheets of liquid and delayed percussive knocks that are gently propelled by a low- passed thud.

The lucent, minor key tones of 'Redemption' are then spread out before the ticking percussion of 'Sacred Ritual' patiently ferries the listener toward solace. 'Helios' then recalls the work of Keith Kenniff as rubbery, synthetic pops are contrasted against a soft melodic sheet before 'Fadio Vadio' rolls out a steady, chugging drum pattern and coarse, granular sweeps. 'Orizaba' and 'Lost In You' then inject some swooning synth tones, which work to round off a cohesive anthology of emotions that mark the first step for an extremely auspicious talent.

Still charged, the deep tribal trance of Reinier Brekelmans, Reinoud van den Broek and Robbert Heijnen. A Double Dutch mixture of Industrial and Detroit techno, lacing Acid House with some of the liveliest oppositional ideas of the time, about art, nature and politics. From the same neck of the enchanted forest as Psychic TV and Coil... but this album is kicking dance music. Originally released on cassette in 1989. Reissued in silk-screened sleeves, with notes by Reinoud. Great, bracing stuff. 'We are very interested in the methods of 'those primitive peoples' who used dance throughout the ages, as a celebration of life or a way to communicate with spirits. To be spiritual is a strange word now but you can break the structures of conditioning with that physical experience. That's the side we're interested in.'

An unswervingly honest, highly personal album - Blue Daisy distills
his personal experiences in to this cinematic meditation on the clash between the forces of dark and light, good and evil.
Wrestling with inner and outer demons he leads us on an intense
spiral of a journey fuelled by uncomfortable truths, sleepless nights, love, loss, religion, faith and doubt. Unconfined to a genre, the record traverses brooding rock, intense rap, blues and is imbued with a punk attitude and aesthetic throughout.
The album displays a dazzling array of sonics, the gospel overtones of'My Heart', the caustic battle hymn of the title track, to the blisteringly anthemic 'Gravediggers'. Blue Daisy is vocalist, musician and producer Kwesi Darko. The North Londoner's ambition to make timeless music has resulted in a slow stream of high-caliber releases and thrilling, increasingly adventurous live shows. His debut single was awarded Pitchfork's coveted 'Best New Track' status, and album, The Sunday Gift, was warmly received and heralded as Electronic Album of The Year by
MOJO magazine. In 2013 he rebooted and embarked on a new
chapter by unleashing the defiantly NSFW track Fuck A Rap Song - The Guardian's Single Of The Week - opening for Public Enemy, featuring and producing on Tricky's album and starting what would eventually become Darker Than Blue.

Kowton makes an emphatic return to Livity Sound this Autumn with his first solo 12' for the label since 2012.
A foundation block of the label, Kowton has also released on Hessle Audio, All Caps and Idle Hands and most recently scored a hit with his ubiquitous "Glock & Roll" on Young Turks offshoot Whities. His music's been remixed by Karenn, Kassem Mosse and Surgeon and in turn he's remixed work by Paul Woolford, Tessela and Untold.Now a regular some of the finest clubs around, Kowton has played across Europe both live with Livity Sound (alongside Peverelist and Asusu) and as a solo DJ. In the past 12 months he's toured Japan, America, Australia and is set for repeat visits this autumn.This new Livity Sound 12" see's Kowton in a typically reductive mode: 'On Repeat' layers pulsing subs with weighty percussion and enveloping synths; 'Holding Patterns' flips things into a streamlined modulating techno workout of abrasive drums and rotating rim shots.

Following the recent 'Part 6' & 'Part 7' releases comes the next and, for now, final chapter taking the series (that originated on the now defunct Phono label circa 1995) up to 'Part 8'. This time the structure is changed somewhat by opening with the wonky synth-led track 'The Wrong Place', the familiar sound of Rahel's vocals chopped up and distorted into an entirely different entity. Track 2 makes an immediate departure from anything else from the series so far with the melancholy 'Remembering Ken' featuring the lush vocals of adeomotayo. ade appears on the new Kindness record and was a backing singer for amywinehouse.

Side B of the vinyl opens with 'Ticket' a true Herbert techno workout with more than an element of his Wishmountain moniker appearing. The EP closes with the beautiful 'Her Face', cascading melodies melting over a throbbing 4/4 rhythm.

'Part 8' ends the current run of EPs but lays the foundation for a new Herbert album with all new material to be released in early 2015...

Sonic EP is the second contribution of Sawf to the Modal Analysis catalogue.The Greek producer, and core member of the Modal Analysis roster, delivers a mind-blowing 4-tracker with a clear intention to interpret an industrial-noise aesthetic from a techno perspective. Sonic#1 is a cut from the intro of Sawf's LIVE set, offering a powerful combo of processed vocals and distorted soundscapes. Sonic#2 comes as a long and stepping beast that creates the uncomfortable feeling of a horror movie soundtrack. On the B side; Sonic#3 blends blurry vocals with rhythmic industrial elements on a breath-taking bass-line, while Sonic#4 presents Sawf's charisma on impro-noise compositions.
*Sonic#4 was recorded at 'Sonic Shelter Studios' in Athens.

Young, beautiful and talented... that's the attitude that Strip Steve's debut album MICRO MEGA is made of. Digging in the spirit of the glam and pop scene of the 80s the French DJ and Producer (livin' in Berlin now) put together a potpourri of high-class House, Nu-Disco, Techno and Dubstep tracks. Strip Steve knows how to create a sticking summer rave soundtrack like STOMP, which was formerly released as a first impact of his upcoming album. Even though he takes us on a trip back to the 80s shiny sides (RADIOCHECK) and darker sides (CALCIUM feat. Das Glow) we know from past releases. He does not hide his musical roots and background when living up to his origin with MONEY TROUBLE FUNK. Proving his talent in different styles and sounds he collaborated with the lucid and wild eyed dream-pop duo Puro Instinct (from L.A.), young protégées of living legend Ariel Pink, creating a flirty and emotional track - ASTRAL PROJECTION which will be the 1st official single-release taken from MICRO MEGA. The track goes more to the root and encapsulates musical influences from The Beach Boys, Chic, and modern disco like Amplified Orchestra, highlighting the fact how versatile and multi-faceted Strip Steve's musical approaching can be. It's the flirtyness with fragile lucency and the infantile embracement of the simple and still undiscovered pop-formula which leaves the song Grow and Breathe on its own. This cocktail is best served by the beauty of your own imagination. As a hypnotic dance-floor track should not be missing, Strip Steve teamed up with the legendary Robert Owens to feature him on ONE THING and this track is definitely a one 'BIG' thing. His voice of heaven together with Strip Steve's strong soundlines builds a mega attitude that leaves no feet still. This is hell of a debut album... from MICRO to MEGA !!! MICRO MEGA OUT ON BOYSNOIZE RECORDS | JULY, 2nd 2012

Following the release of the Visonia collaboration with the mighty Dopplereffekt that delivered 'Die Reisen' on vinyl and digital formats earlier this year, Visonia returns with the anticipated debut album release entitled, 'Impossible Romance'. Commencing with 'Juana de Arco', which edges finely the fragile border between expectant angst and hopeful optimism, this opening piece pretty much sets the tone for the album. Undulating between the highs and lows of human emotion which beautifully encompasses Visonia's own conception of art - to hold hands and contribute to humanity; to give beauty, wisdom, or to simply open the listener's mind in order to reflect and ask questions of one's own self, one's own existence; what we have here is at times a poetic soundscape of emotions, feelings, fears and positive expression. The album, in its double vinyl format includes the previously available collaboration with Dopplereffekt, namely 'Die Reisen', alongside an equally striking collab with New Wave/Synth Pop artist, Mad Moizel in the form of 'Beat Frequencies' and late addition to the album - the sleek, driving vision of 'Between Lies and Real Looks'.

Part2... Mysterious, dark & distorted heavy hitters on 7". Definitely not for everyone. Limited press which won't last.
"Shout out to Matilda & the Paris regiment."

West Side Chicago hardware anthems. Nick Read's Windbreaker project has been his refuge since the days of Lazer Crystal (Thrill Jockey). A Chicago DIY scene staple for over ten years, this is the first Windbreaker full length. Imagine Kraftwerk being trapped in Berghain and living off of floor scraps or Christian Hosoi pulling a Christ Air over the pyramids and you're somewhere close.

The Pinkman sister label Charlois continues its journey with a four tracker by gearfreak Timothy J. Fairplay. This time the operator is pushing his machines into the depths of late 70's giallo scores, which resulted in four haunting, rough house and disco cuts. Limited edition with silk screened sleeves!

C L N K is Silviu Badea of Bucharest, Romania. The elusive producer debuted in 2014 with the full-length 'Black Ecstasy', soon followed by a 5-track EP, 'Anti'. Press feedback included The FADER, XLR8R, Dummy, Line of Best Fit, Big Up, and more. Both these records feature erratic and brittle bat-cave techno. For his latest work, C L N K sticks with the nihilistic undertone but revives influences from downtempo, footwork, and ambient.

BNJMN comes with an entirely new and different project, BRACK.

Receiving support from George Fitzgerald on Radio 1, Ben UFO, Surgeon, James Ruskin, Daniel Avery, Blawan, Cosmin TRG and more.

Following a string of excellent releases for the likes of Rush Hour and Delsin, the Berlin-based British producer has launched his own imprint. Its inaugural release promises to simultaneously satisfy long-time listeners, and throw them for a loop. BRACK001 sees BNJMN venturing outside his digital domain for the first time, eschewing polished, computer-based constructions for an altogether dirtier, darker sound.

"Manni's smacking out sandpaper techno at an exhilarating rate. Falling somewhere between Martyn and Mark Broom, Manni clocks up another scorching notch on the tech-bass bedpost" - 9/10 by Mixmag
Manni Dee's - Shifting EP comprises of 3 tracks of uncompromising dancefloor music. Focussing on the 130bpm area frequented by many of the alumni of dubstep's fallout, its raw production values and emphasis on percussion forge something original yet functional.

LA.-based producer/composer/DJ Matt Lange delivers a darkly melodic breed of electronic music rooted in raw energy and emotion. Hand-selected by deadmau5 as one of the latest signings to his label mau5trap, the lifelong musician now makes his full-length debut with the groove-heavy, intricately textured Ephemera. As his first album release for mau5trap, Ephemera's title reflects the restless innovation inherent in Lange's musicianship. 'The album's really a snapshot of where I am right now as an artist,' Lange explains. 'It's this turning point where I have one foot in the world of dance music, and the other foot in a whole different direction.'

With Mixmag pointing out that Lange possesses 'more musical predilection in his pinky than most producers' entire catalog,' Ephemera reveals both the creative adventurousness and exquisite precision at the core of Lange's sound. 'My music is always very handmade,' says Lange, noting that most of Ephemera's tracks started out on guitar, piano, or modular synthesizer. 'I don't ever use any outside material. Creating it all on my own lets me have a much more personal connection to everything I do.' And though the album's offerings veer from the eerily charged yet infectious atmospherics of club tracks like 'My Love Aside' to the downtempo intimacy of vocal-driven numbers like 'Lying to Myself,' all of Ephemera is infused with a moody intensity that proves the depth of that connection. 'I'm not very good at writing bright, happy music,' says Lange. 'I need there to be an underlying sense of melancholy in order to really get pulled into the song.'

Growing up in Manhattan, Lange started playing piano at age four and sung in a boy's choir from ages six to 13, then picked up the guitar and quickly joined a hardcore/metal band. 'I got into the production side of things when I was 15, mostly because I wanted to make my own demos for the band, and that completely changed my relationship with music,' says Lange. After majoring in music production at Boston's Berklee College of Music—and shaping his sound with inspiration from groups like Hybrid and Telefon Tel Aviv—Lange was enlisted by BT to co-produce his critically acclaimed, Grammy Award-nominated album These Hopeful Machines. Lange next struck out on his own, turning out releases like 2014's Staccato EP (a #2 Progressive House Release on Beatport), creating official remixes for tracks as eclectic as The M Machine's 'Shadow in the Rose Garden' (OWSLA) and Usher's 'Numb' (RCA), and serving as producer on Glenn Morrison's 'Goodbye' (a 2013 release that went platinum in Canada and sold more than 500,000 copies worldwide). Along with playing festivals like EDC Las Vegas and TomorrowWorld and earning praise as 2014's #1 DJ to watch by VIBE, he eventually caught the attention of deadmau5, who included his 'Scorched Earth Policy' on the We Are Friends: Volume 3 compilation (released in February 2015) and 'Nice Shades, Wesley' on We Are Friends: Volume 4 (June 2015).

Despite exploring so many genres and directions through the years, certain principles have remained constant for Lange. 'As I got older, I found the tracks that worked out best were the ones I made without regard to what other people would think of them,' he says. 'People can always tell when music's coming from a place that's true to you, so I learned that the key is to be totally honest and just do what I love and what interests me most.' That honesty is also closely tied to his creative process and musical sensibilities. 'To me electronic music is mainly a medium that gives you the freedom and ability to use anything you want to,' he says. 'When you take live instrumentation and process it in a way that creates this hybrid sound that's stuck in between two worlds and you can't figure out what's what, that's my favorite space to live in. The only real limitation is what you're able to imagine.'

DARK ACID V features some of our favorite producers ATM. Following the 12" we released with SHADY P (Breed, How To Kill Detroit, Heated Heads) last month we hooked him and some of the How To Kill Detroit crew for this, SHADY P contributes the gloriously fucked up X IS A WHOLE. MARSHALL APPLEWHITE drops a total acid banger with PROSTRATE, and THE FRIEND throws down the skewed acid tech of HOW R U. Glasgow's GREGOR GARNUTSI (Upstanding Monk) changes up the vibe with the creepy electronica of ACCESS GRANTED and France's ORPHAN SWORDS bring a killer mix of noise and techno with ASTAROTH.

One per person pls Danny Moore aka Pvre Matrix is from a generation of young techno producers out of Brooklyn who come at the music without preconcieved notions or boundaries in their approach to production and playing live.
He is the epitomy of the slash and burn blitzkrieg attitude of new producers popping up under the JMZ everyday. While very interesting to see the scene develop this way, few have executed in such a fashion as Pvre Matrix has. Impeccabily produced without losing its sense of urgency or brutality and clocking in at breakneck speed, Pvre Matrix is out for blood, and his three track debuts prove as such. While you might not catch Danny Moore in your local big room anytime soon, he is undeniably a force that is present and will crush you regardless.

got to know Gavin Russom's music thanks to the amazing 'The Days Of Mars' album he recorded together with Delia Gonzalez now ten years ago on DFA Records. Flash forward to last year, when we released Michele Mininni's trippy 'Endless Ceremony'. Gavin Russom loved that one and sent over a demo shortly after - you're listening to it now. I am really proud to be able to release an EP from such an extraordinary artist, enjoy! 1st pressing on splattered 12"! (transparent vinyl with pink, light blue & black splatters)

You have asked and now you shall receive! STEVE POINDEXTER's 1st release for MUZIQUE is back in on limited repress 12" goodness for fans of MATHEMATICS, GHOSTLY, GIGOLO etc.

Part 2 of the Twin Paradox series.
