Techno Vinyl New Releases - News

Unformated techno sound, with a loud old school electro/electric abuse:)

Latest installment of the limited series from the home of Ivan Drago. This one sees another split with Beau Wanzer back at the helm controlling the a-side with more heavy handed beat tracks made for mixing, while the b-side is a very very very nasty warehouse techno beast by NJB.

The first release by Inoue Shirabe (Antinote's man in Okayama - Japan) is an immediate past/future classic...TIP!
.
The label say " side A is recorded straight to tape with all its delicious textures, filled with melancholic bleep goodness, deep drums, bewitching basslines and melodies that are evocative of future bygone days when deep was going to mean something. A true piece of late night haunting techno/house.

Side B is dreamy journey of kraut synth beauty, with machine music that evokes living melodic beings taking your hand towards analogue heaven. A gorgeous first 12" that's not to be missed. "

Irishman John Daly takes a rare break from his One Track label and delivers his magic to the Tanstaafl Planets imprint. Floating house and spacey techno on the b-side that seamlessly merge Daly and TANSTAAFL's aesthetics, while the A-side delivers a pulse-raising new fusion of jacking swing and dubby synths. John Daly cant do much wrong!!

Tansplan 001 and 002 sold out rapidly. Last box of Tansplan 003 still available

2014 repress! 4 tracks of Kenny Larkin's 'POD' material, which was first released on the Belgian, Buzz, label in 1992. Recommended!!
Rush Hour is proud to present this co-op with Kenny Larkin/Art Of Dance to release the best of his catalogue on remastered 12"s. He's recorded many classic tracks on many different labels under many monikers. We have picked, what we think, are the best tracks he made. Released on series of 6 separate 12"s.

Following the debut 12-inch 'Wild Rites' for Details Sound imprint, talented artist Matteo Viani returns under his Black Seed guise with a condensed noise-filled techno formula, revealing a spectrum of dark energy experiments.

Unlike his previous EP, which seemed crafted to provoke a natural rhythmic response to its analogue captivating intensity, 'Logical Consequence' features four cuts of rough, banging slow-techno, spilling all its flammable content in multiple directions.

20. SOME OF THESE FACTS MAY NOT BE CORRECT. YOU MAY HAVE BEEN FED CORRUPT DATA.

"This album set me free."
(Anthony Rother on Netzwerk Der Zukunft)
Cold. Precise. Uncompromising.
If you feel that the current musical landscape is lacking these qualities, then Netzwerk der Zukunft will makeyou sit up and take notice. Because, in the past four years since his last album, Anthony Rother has been doing a lot of thinking. About himself,
the world he lives in and, of course, his music.
A journey into his soul, which eventually ends at his roots, his earliest inspiration:
Elektro. Now, with Netzwerk der Zukunft, Anthony Rother is redefining the Elektro sound of his generation once again. (Text by Timo Geißel)

"Dieses Album hat mich befreit."
(Anthony Rother über Netzwerk Der Zukunft)
Kälte. Präzision. Kompromisslosigkeit.
Wer Qualitäten wie diese in der aktuellen Musiklandschaft vermisst, wird bei Netzwerk der Zukunft gewaltig aufhorchen. Denn in den vergangenen vier Jahren, seit seinem letzten Album, hat sich Anthony Rother eine Menge Gedanken gemacht.
Über sich, die Welt in der er lebt und natürlich auch über seine Musik.
Eine Reise ins Innerste, die letztlich bei seinen Ursprüngen, seiner
frühesten Inspiration enden sollte: Dem Elektro. Mit Netzwerk der
Zukunft definiert Anthony Rother nun den Elektro-Sound seiner
Generation noch einmal gänzlich neu aus. (Text von Timo Geißel)

Born and raised in East Detroit, a diet of Prince, 80s R&B and techno provided the crucible for Jimmy Edgar's life in music. Ever precocious, from his mid-teens he was building his foundations as a DJ, playing at raves in the city alongside some of techno's founding fathers, as well as conducting ambitious experiments with rudimentary recording equipment, and by the age of just 18 he'd signed to the electronic music institution, Warp. Later recording for K7! and Hotflush, and advancing his considerable DJ talent during a spell residing in Berlin, in 2013 Jimmy established the Ultramajic imprint with fellow electronic auteur Aden, and it is fresh material from the label that provides the backbone for FABRICLIVE 79. "I went through a bunch of unreleased tracks we are going to put out on Ultramajic and decided to launch them with this mix. I got some exclusive material from my good friends Danny Daze, Crystal Bandito, and Kris Wadsworth. This mix is explores the different vibes of Ultramajic." Jimmy Edgar
Commencing with a nod to his hometown forebears, with Terrence Dixon and Patrice Scott contributing deep Detroit cuts to the opening minutes of the mix, we're soon reveling in a slew of unreleased Ultramajic material from Crystal Bandito and Jimmy himself, including a typically no-nonsense collaboration with LA native Truncate and the snare-driven 'Walk Show' featuring the deeply-missed Chicago footwork icon DJ Rashad. It's here that the many facets of Jimmy Edgar really shine through: DJ, producer, and label curator. The mix picks up an unmistakable strut, before momentarily taking a breath with Danny Daze's deep house blending unexpectedly into the ghetto-tech of DJ Godfather & DJ Starski. A pair of unyielding Kris Wadsworth cuts sandwich another Jimmy Edgar exclusive in the mix's final stretch, ensuring that, despite its author's nomadism through the years, the music of Detroit runs like a seam through FABRICLIVE 79.

Without a hint of hyperbole, Polygon Fane EP stands as Pixelord's ultimate manifesto: a testament to the internet and its unbounded nature, embedded within a smorgasbord of eccentric Bass. Returning to Infinite Machine with a vengeance, Hyperboloid boss Pixelord delivers his most compelling and mind-boggling release to-date. Over the course of 6 originals, the Russian pioneer unfurls a confounding display of versatility that stretches from ominous Breakbeats to wonky Club mutations to introspective Juke to cheeky cuts of 80s casio funk (dare we say meta-vaporwave). Supporting him in his venture is burgeoning heavy weight (and Infinite Machine alumni) Druid Cloak alongside label staple Seafloor, Montreal's neon king Thomas White and Terrorhythm's ever-impressive Curl Up. Together, led by our Russian Prince of the Internet, these gentlemen give a truly comprehensive cross-sectional of the current music landscape. The cheekier cuts point to their Neon brothers Lockah, Gillepsy, 813 and Wave Racer while the moodier songs echo Ital Tek, Lone and Om Unit (and somewhere down the middle lay hints of Seablaze and Ultrademon)

New Orion Records hits you with Ozin Ep. It comes with the fine Remix from Rascal!

In 1925 Hugo Gernsback invents the "Isolator", an elusive helmet that can cloister oneself away. Now 89 years later Lockertmatik puts on the helmet ...

Two absolute masters going over to the Dark Side with serious results. Trademark elements from both artists combining into gorgeous vox laced dubbed out electronics, recorded in Berlin. The force is strong in these two... On the flip Ricardo Villalobos and Max Loderbauer's 'Vilod' collaboration takes the whole other side, twisting out the original parts and arriving on a planet all of his own. Metroplex Returns! TIP!
On this collaboration with Mark Ernestus, of Rhythm & Sound, Juan offers new ways of hearing the future utilizing sounds of the recent past. Dark Side displays exquisite techno, electro, and dub influences to create a seamless, inspiring piece of music. The percussive rhythms and dub-influenced tones and melodies meld together under Juan's vocals. If anyone's voice is right for techno, it is Magic Juan Atkins' telling us to free our minds and travel to other realities.

Ricardo Villalobos and Max Loderbauer expertly maintain the dub sounds of the original track. They extend the cut to more than double the length and transform Dark Side into a meditative track steeped in broken and staccato beats. Laying a foundation of looping rhythmic patterns from the original track, this remix adds distorted, hollow snare drums to create new rhythms. Dissonant tones, introduced midway through the track, hint at a new melody, making the track mindful and danceable at the same time.

With a sprawling discography that can be traced as far back as 2005, the last few years have found the Providence-based noise artist Ren Schofield shifting his attention towards his Container guise with increasing vigour, delivering full-length albums for Spectrum Spools and I Just Live Here, as well as an acclaimed EP for Rabih Beaini's much-lauded Morphine Records.
With Liberation Technologies having already exhibited the fiercely confrontational style of BMB,
and coaxed an EP of skewed electronics out of Vessel for 'Misery Is A Communicable Disease', the Adhesive is a natural fit for the imprints burgeoning canon.

As uncompromising as you'd expect, the four tracks on offer display the work of a producer working intuitively with the machines he surrounds himself with, a relentless pulse ever present at the core of these abrasive workouts.

Electro techno , a bit hard, and swinging around... Psycho Familly keeps one producing, starting its empire:-) enjoy !

From the shores of the Great lakes comes a 3 track floor filler from MI duo 2AMFM aka JTC & D'Marc Cantu. Confronting the canons of Techno & House head on this 12" takes you beyond the dance. Best experienced loud though, preferably in a darkened smoke filled room. A limited vinyl pressing with hand screen-printed artwork.

Bells Jam is stand-and-deliver improvisation, alive and rocking, with minimal editing; Split Guest is dense, multi-faceted, hypnotic music by Matthew Mullane, from Princeton, NJ, and Spectrum Spools; label co-founder Sam Lewis aka Herron returns with the time-shifting rhythmic complexity of 33 Weeks; Nick Lapien from Sequencias and Field Records makes a long ascent as Metropolis.

On a cold rainy day in London, Tessela met up with Nozinja in a East London pub for a quick pint. They got on like a house on fire, swapping production techniques and notes from their drastically different approach to making electronic music. They ended up going back to Tessela's studio down the road for an impromptu recording session. What you hear now is the results...

2 very different takes on the same song. 'Wa Chacha'; produced by 2 artists at the top of their game with a mere distance of 8,000 miles separating their respective hometowns.

Nozinja, of Shangaan Electro fame - who is currently prepping for his forthcoming full length album on Warp Records, wrote the original song and was asked by Bleep to collaborate with Tessela for this special one-off 12 release.

Tessela - the UK based producer gaining attention through skilfully blurring the boundaries between techno, jungle and fractured rhythmical structures through his incredible releases on R&S Records, Punch Drunk and of course his incredible break-out self-released track 'Hackney Parrot', jumped at the opportunity to work with the genre-pioneering South African producer.

The results are 2 superb renditions and arrangements of the infectiously catchy 'Wa Chacha'. 'Wa Chacha' by Nozinja / Tessela will be released by Bleep on 9th February on 12 vinyl and digital formats.

*contender for 12' artwork of the year*

The Doomsday Initiative was a musical concept (in the form of an event!) where the end of the world had truly arrived and doom was plunging humanity into a terrible sadness... selected artists 2AMFM performed and recorded us this aural landscape of doomsday. Ltd edition of 250 copies. TIP

Chicago jack tracks, Early Nineties Dancemania style inspired ep by Antenna including a Legowelt remix.

The second remix 12" from the 2013's Livity Sound compilation features two remixes of Asusu's 'Velez' by A Made Up Sound....

Our sweetest friend Lawrence is back to mule musiq with four beautiful electronic dance tracks.

With an additional six tracks the CD release of "Talk To The Sea" delves deeper into the archives of Gigi Masin; taking two tracks from the album 'Wind' and presenting four previously unreleased tracks.
For their much anticipated second release Music From Memory take you into the world of Italian musician Gigi Masin. Part of only a small and very much underground music scene in his hometown of Venice, Gigi Masin self released two modestly pressed LP's 'Wind' (1986) and 'Wind Collector' (1991) and appeared along side Charles Hayward for the Sub Rosa compilation LP "Les Nouvelles Musiques De Chambre Volume 2" (1988). Having met with little commercial success in Italy at the time, Gigi Masin's solo albums remained for the most part totally unknown. His music has though in recent years, and seemingly by pure word of mouth, developed almost something of a cult following.

Gigi Masin's uniquely intricate and at times deeply emotive compositions take the listener into a realm of contemplation, a spellbound mind state where time and space appear to dissolve. His sparse and hypnotic often loop-based compositions seem to draw parallels with Detroit Techno's earliest beginnings, all at once conjuring those same feelings of both melancholic longing and ecstatic joy.

With access to Masin's large body of work, far greater than that of the handful of released recordings, Music From Memory's new compilation covers a period of over 30 years, from the early 1980's up until now. Including seventeen compositions, most of which have remained unreleased or unavailable until now, 'Talk To The Sea' aims to shine a light on Gigi Masin's unique and heartfelt talent. This is electronic music from the soul.

Subtext recordings presents the soundtrack by James Ginzburg and Yair Elazar Glotman produced for the collaborative installation "Nimbes", developed with Joanie Lemercier for the 360 degree dome in Montreal's SAT centre. The soundtrack, realised within the vast interior of Berlin's Kraftwerk power station, employs the cavernous reverb of the space in response to the video's encompassing narrative of scale, time and entropy. Centred around the use of contrabass and elemental percussion, the stark rendering of instrumental sound crafts an evocative portrait of this former industrial site, mapping an overarching texture onto the underlying acoustic compositions. The project draws parallels to Ginzburg's sonic spatial explorations within emptyset alongside Glotman's own forensic examinations of rhythm and tonality initiated through his work as Ketev, bringing the two into a formal dialogue through techniques of acoustic production. The release is accompanied by a remix from Eric Holm, reforming the material through his dense custom created signal chains, and a remix from Yair Elazar Glotman who extracts the essence of the original recording and sculpts it into an adeptly controlled vista of sound.

Violet Poison is the dark, enigmatic and esoteric side-project of Francesco Baudazzi, already known as Obtane, co-owner with Giorgio Gigli of the defunct techno label Zooloft.
The new project is focused on analogue proto-techno with influences from 70's Italian progressive bands like Goblin or OST composers like Fabio Frizzi and earlier Downwards records from 1994-1995.

Check his debut full lenght on HAR, after the releases for Vatican Shadow's labels (Hospital Productions and Bed of Nails), for his own label Violet Poison, for Repitch Recordings and a remix for Frozen Border. TIP

Beginning with tape experimentation, noise excursions and long-form drift and drone musics, Love Cult have steadily built up a discography based on decomposing and deconstructing. "KNOW EP" is the first vinyl statement that sees the Russian duo dive headlong into beat-forms and movement music.

Following their fog-covered debut LP on Public Information, Anya Kuts and Ivan Zoloto have swerved the spread-out spaciousness and primitive rhythm debris and reached for crucial, crude dub and techno templates. Ghostly remnants still pervade Know - Kuts' heavily-processed vocals are still in evidence - but with the adoption of distorted kick drums, off-kilter sub-basslines and compressed melodic strands, this Love Cult is more vital, more transformative. Recently the Karelian duo have coined the apt term «no tech», which stands for «northern technology».Terrifying opener Mise En Abyme is the bridge between older Love Cult and the new forms - massive, trawling chords barely contained by a rolling beat and cut-up vocals, like Sunn O))) lost in a lightless nightclub. My Boy breaks into an alternate-universe Garage rhythm, perverting the groove with ecclesiastical reverb drones and stabbing bass. The push and pull of Lust Undone, like a possessed drum machine transmitting the death rattle of the recently deceased, gives way to the closing, epic It's True. Perhaps the most straight-forward offering and undoubtedly one of Love Cult's strongest moments, It's True uses bass-bin shattering tones, quick-fire high hats and end-of-the-world noise injections to truly shatter the perceptions of the listener.

Third release from Balkan sub-label "I Love Acid" featuring the famous Acid Lover himself, Luke Vibert. Two fully hardware analogue acid jams, written specifically as DJ-friendly purposemakers: each clocking in at a full twelve and a half minutes. Once again, this is a vinyl-only release: absolutely no digital, absolutely no represses. Strictly limited to 303 hand-numbered & stamped heavyweight 12" vinyl, in a black inner & heavy card sleeve. One per customer only.

Collision With The Past, part II... the drama continues. A set of immersive and moving experimental techno outbursts by our man Boris Bunnik aka Conforce. Conceived to reach beyond your emotion circuits, send shivers down your spine and make your neurotransmitters shake. True beauty doesn't come from the unavoidable music industry promotion cosmetics. Real music should reach your soul, and can only be explored through direct transmitted waveforms. From our frustrated minds to yours...

Ltd edition of 250 copies. TIP

Now Repressed !!!
DJ Dag und Dr. Motte, zwei Urgesteine der internationalen Technoszene, haben sich zu ihrem 25-Jährigen DJ Jubiläum als Krieger der Sonne verbündet. "Sunfighter" ist, nach "Der Klang der Familie", der zweite Release auf Mottes neuem Label "Praxxiz", der das Vierteljahrhundert ihres Schaffens reflektiert.

The highly promising Loopy opens its account with a double dose of disorientating, hypnotic botheration from NZ-er Oliver Peryman, ex of labels like Samurai Horo, Tri Angle and Exit. Both cuts are curtly compelling: SS is darting and hyper; Knecht more haunted, percussive.
On the flip, Kassem Mosse contributes some elastic, bubbling funk, with characteristic panache; and Oren Ambarchi settles in for twelve minutes of the frighteners.
An excellent EP. Watch out for Loopy.
