Techno Vinyl New Releases - News

Best known for his collaborations with Kanye West on two standout tracks from the groundbreaking 'Yeezus' album ('Send It Up' and 'Black Skinhead') as well as high profile remixes for Lana Del Rey and Depeche Mode, Paris-based DJ/producer Gesaffelstein's solo work reconnects hard techno to its pounding industrial roots. After earning all manner of acclaim for early EP releases and for his recent Parlophone debut track 'Pursuit' which video has hit 1.5 millions views, Gesaffelstein will release the new single 'Hate or Glory' on October 8 ahead of his debut album 'Aleph' which follows on October 28th. 'The Or Glory' video has been launched on October 3th after the track premiered on Zane Lowe show (BBC1), and is a Pitchfork exclusive during 1 week.

Ministre X is back again on his own label, ClekClekBoom, to supply Paris' house & bass haven's with its 14th official release. After his
lush, club friendly debut 'Calling Me' Ministre has teamed up with long-time affiliate, the Parisian pianist and self-proclaimed dandy,
Mattias Mimoun under the moniker 'Aethority'.
Put together over late-night sessions in the ClekClekBoom studio, the Aethority EP draws from wide variety of influences, both in and
outside of dance music, for a weighty and unique double track release.
A-side 'Niceness' uses a percussive blend of tricked out field recordings and samples to create a shuffling, dub-techno vibe before
the drums drain away to make way for a lush, rippling synth which excitedly builds once again before the drums drop back in.
B-side 'Get Busy', the first track the pair produced together, combines a classic UK garage style vocal, scuttling hats and an
ominous, analog textured synth line before a beefy acid-dripping bassline drops in, enhancing the groove.
The pair is already back in the studio readying new material for release so be ready for more original, bustling dancefloor grooves. To
be released on both vinyl & digital.

After his epic split with Black Deer, Torn Hawk comes back with a proper four track 12 inch, opening with an almost balearic/tropical, someone put something in my drink and i'm melting house cut.
Trapdoor returns to Wyatt's skewed after school special ADD Cali-speed freak bastard child drum machine/guitar lush not lushness. We get more end-titles on the b-side, as both songs could be the soundtracks for a night hanging in a parking lot drinking boxed wine and snorting Ajax while auxilary police circle, threatening to harsh your mellow...good times to say the least.

Vinly only!!! To mark a decade of their live techno outfit, Exercise One release a new album and series of vinyl remix EPs by friends and fellow travellers from along the road. Choosing 10 remixes for their 10 years of performing live and 9 tracks on the album for 9 years of releasing records. Electric Glare' revs into action with a dank riff locking itself on top of a feverish bassline. After the cinematic 'Stay' serves as a blissful palette cleanser we're back on the pulse with the abrasive thuds of 'The Raven', perhaps their most stark work to date. For the EPs, Exercise One invited some of their talented friends from along the journey to remix their favourite tracks of the duo's back catalogue, for vinyl and digital release. EP 2 continues the overrun of talent with Ewan Pearson masterfully remixing in typically grandiose style, putting on the breaks and laying down an irresistible groove from which he tinkers with thick swathes of valve-heated melodies and bulbous bass. Alex Smoke's charred contribution has an air of narcotic outlandishness with the swirl of Farsi poetry recorded by close Persian friends of the duo in their old flooded basement studio. And Berlin band subQ10x cover Exercise One's very first release 'Roll With U', with Ingo on drums.

The inimitable STL returns with two heavy grooves to share wax alongside two flying beats from label-owner L'estasi Dell'oro. Machine language and funky drummers soar straight to the sky.

Full length album by GB on his own label. We love what this guy is doing anc on his new album he finds more depth within his signature sound. Recommended!
It's hard to believe that with an output as prolific as that of Gabriel Reyes-Whittaker, Within These Machines is only is second widely distributed full-length release in his more than 10 year career. Having released critically-acclaimed projects as The Abstract Eye, The Reflektor, Julian Abelar and of course his best known guise GB, he returns again with what is perhaps his most ambitious project to date. GB's Within These Machines is a song set themed around the various applications of his primarily analog electronic instruments. Working in concert and synchronized via MIDI and triggering mechanisms, the machines act as the performers themselves with Gabriel serving as engineer, conductor, composer and producer, guiding the machines in their performance. All pieces were recorded live and in one take. Within These Machines encompasses not only GB's stylistic versatility and technical prowess but also the capabilities of vintage electronic musical instruments that in many cases had not yet been explored. GB visits and expands upon many subgenres of the wide world of electronic music while not quite stepping fully into any categorizable box. Yet the album moves with a consistency and theme that illustrates the unique character of all of Gabriel's music.

TD turns it up even higher. Chiming, melodic and magnificent abstractions from the depths. TIP!

POV is Joakim x Crackboy and they make Arab Ghetto Techno (which is sort of legitimate since they both have arabic/middle eastern roots).
Crowdspacer (or CRWDSPCR as a tribute to Merce Cunningham's dance performance) is a vinyl-only label dedicated to outstanding club music launched by Tigersushi's founder and musician/DJ/Producer, Joakim.

A gem of the Parisian underground electronic music world for those who know, Voiski hits us with three tracks of high bpm techno which at points reminds us of early Steve Bicknell or Oliver Ho. The b-side hits hard with the epic "From Sea to Sea" a monstrously beautiful building track that does all the right things in the right places just when you want them to happen. A big release to say the least.

Heinrich Mueller and Victoria Lukas with a new project! Some dark abstract modern electronics with the atmosphere of Russian novels combined with the sounds rooted in an almost opposite part of the world... Detroit.

Mancunians AnD have lead the way when it comes to the industrial techno revolution of recent times and now serve up three such tracks on the small but perfectly formed Ann Aimee label after plenty of great work on their own eponymous imprint.
The titular track 'Ard Core Krew' kicks things off with squealing machines, huge dump piston sounds, metallic synths and brutalist kick drums. It's a hostile world of sound in which it is easy to get disorientated, and 'Changed My View' is much the same, with every single element sounding raw, frazzled and under plenty of strain. It's a fuzzy, dirty track with lots of detailed activity as well as huge stomping kick drums, which pin it all together. 'Free At Last' is the most propulsive and forward moving; surging as it does on a grimy brew of splintered hi hats, incessant kick drums and low fizzing frequencies. Aggressive techno never sounded so fresh!

Limited Blue Vinyl Pressing!

'Redemption Forest' is the beguiling debut album of recombinant pop from Andrew Hargreaves (The Boats/
Tape Loop Orchestra) and Beth Roberts' new duo, The Mistys

When it comes to musical influences, most electronic producers mention Detroit´s Techno or Chicago´s House heydays, the German electro-pop of Kraftwerk or French GRMC 'Musique concrète'. The two brothers, who compose Spitzer, will cite all together without a shadow of doubt, the post-hardcore American band Fugazi. And indeed, their productions are permeated with an incredible dark energy equally disconcerting and fascinating.

After a first summer storm Beep Beep Beep is back with 3 amazing remixes !!!

AFTER THE MASSIVE SUCCESS OF THE LIMITED COLOURED VINYL WE PRESENT THE STANDARD VERSION, WITH THE SAME TRACKLISTING AND AUDIO, THIS TIME NOT NUMBERED BUT AS WITH THE PREVIOUS VINYL IT'S A LIMITED PRESSING FIRST COME FIRST SERVED.

Onionboy is the pseudonym of a known Dutch producer. No genres, no restrictions: whatever comes to mind is possible. The first one in this new series touch the borders of electro, electronica and ambient.

Wolfskuil leftfield Limted series welcomes another newcomer to it's roster. Jason Courtney a.k.a. Simplicity Is Beauty has left his mark on the electronic scene with stunning releases on Heavy Reel and The Public Stand. Characterized by complex, emo ridden melodies and enormous attention for detail, we jumped on the chance to do a release with this talented young producer.

Allthough he has created a very recognizable sound, his music can't be labeled by a single genre, as will be even more apparent in his 'Fragments' release. On this EP he goes all out: from Aphexian electro (Fragments 1), to Detroitian ambient (Fragments 3), from John Carpenter styled horror soundtracks (Fragments 4) to slow house where he even plays some guitar licks live (Fragments 2).

Thinking outside the box is something we appreciate a lot here at the office, especially when it's done in such an outstanding manner as on this record.

To mark the occasion of Delsin hitting 100 releases, the label is to release five new various artist EPs throughout the rest of the year.
Besides a special collector's box edition, all EPs will be offered separately, with limited edition colour runs and unlimited black copies. All fifteen tracks will also be compiled onto one CD.

Following on from the first EP that included tracks from Claro Intelecto, Gerry Read and Unbroken Dubs comes the second offering, which features Mike Dehnert, Conforce and CiM.

The Fachwerk boss Dehnert goes first with 'Passenger', a full blooded techno cut with writhing synth lines and drums that canter and gallivant like wild horses though a fuzzy haze of analogue detritus.

Next up is label regular Conforce who turns in a typically underwater and atmospheric track, 'Wave Trace' that is filled with ethereal ambiance, swirling celestial melodies and a frazzled rubber bassline.

Finally, CiM - releasing his first cut since 2004 - turns in 'Way Station', an experimental piece of heavenly sound design that has vast echo chambers filled with sonorous bell rings, but also the busy micro activity of lots of tiny synthesised sounds.

Ed DMX drops this brilliant mini LP of electronics that he recorded last summer on an old farm in Reith, Austria. Emotive stuff, that destroys! Big Sound. BIG Tip!
"man, this project sounds good. (it also) sounds clean, 'analogy', fat and all those things. i will be playing a few of these cuts in my sets. you got a winner here."

From the deepest depth of a dark studio filled with a handful machines full of crooked circuits and malfunctioning oscillators rises a new project: Expansion Unit
Their alchemical blend of sounds explores the twilight zone of classic Electro, full of haunting melodies, squelching synths and pumping low-end. Three tracks, three different moods. The journey of Expansion Unit begins here

We Can Elude Control presents a collaborative record from New York sonic artist and filmmaker Rose Kallal,alongsideMark O Pilkington, the founder of London's cultesoterica resource Strange Attractor.Working across modular synth and effects setups the recording is anextract from a live improvised session and was produced asthe soundtrack to Kallal's hypnotic 16mm film Implicate Explicate, exhibited during the 2012 Glasgow International art fair.


The release comes with remixes from Bristol based Ekoplekz, Glasgow's TVO and label founder Paul Purgas. Implicate Explicate is available as a limited edition 12" vinyl release from October 14th 2013.

Boris Bunnik has finished his third full- -length album as Conforce. Entitled Kinetic Image, the ten- -track album is to be released on Delsin in November following on from his standout offering, Escapsim, back in 2011.
In the last few years, Dutchman Bunnik has established himself as one of the most prolific producers in many different sonic realms. From deep, stripped down explorations to raw and rugged techno via conceptual and cinematic sound design projects, he is a master craftsman who coaxes evocative sounds from both analogue and digital tools whether working as Versalife, Silent Harbour or any of his other monikers.

Kinetic Image, though, is the sound of Conforce producing without the dancefloor in mind. It's the sound of him moving away from the past and into the present. The album has very much been designed to be heard in one sitting, as a complete experience that moves away from regimented 4/4 beats and into slower, more surreptitious tempos.

The result is an all consuming sonic journey of intriguing and inspiring sounds that range from full on cerebral excursions into vast open spaces that throb invitingly (Scientific Trajectory) to underwater daydreams that suspend you deep in an ocean as various mycobacterial details float by. There's also more industrial sounding fair that depicts a desolate warehouse in perennial decay (Semantic Field) and mysterious echo chambers that spread out all around you as celestial light beams and haunting melodic ripples gently float by as per the excellent Temporary Reversals.

An aquatic vibe pervades - no doubt a side effect of recent projects under other monikers - and the title itself relates to the fact that Conforce wanted to make moving images and art that evolve and unfold like passing landscapes. He sure has done that, because Kinetic Images is like an imaginary soundtrack to the last days of Atlantis... it sucks you in, it churns you about and it makes for music that consumes your whole conscious and rewards it with very real sonic imagery.

As is always the case with this label, the album comes with bespoke artwork from Dutch designers Graphic Surgery who are inspired by 'urban environments' and 'experimental electronic music from the 1990's'. Created using an analogue spray paint/stencil technique, each 'box' or 'step' is an original image on paper and gives rise to the aesthetic of minor failures. As such, the repetitive and monochromatic design they have come up with for Kinetic Images is both structured and architectural yet dynamic and fluid at the same time. Completed with crisp typography and luxurious amounts of negative space, it's artwork as considered as the music it conceals.

Frigio is very honored to release the biggest and most important Spanish electronic project of all times 'Esplendor Geometrico'. From the early 80´s until today, they´ve been delivering the most authentic, raw and powerful industrial electronics you can hear.

'Francotirador' which means 'Sniper' is a track recorded back in 1989 that has only been released on a rare CD Japanese edition in the 90´s and now for the first time gets released on vinyl including the original plus 3 remixes by Sneaker who previously did a remix for Twilight Ritual, Juanpablo the head of Frigio Records and Spanish producer Vinz Vincenzo. 'Francotirador' is pure analogue drums with a strong 'tribal industrial' approach.

Although we are big fans of EG, we must admit that we didn´t know about this song until we heard Sneaker´s remix a few years back when he felt the need to try an even darker and versatile version of it. His remix is complimenting the original drum loop starting with rare stomping Chicagoesque drum work, switching from demonic string-chords to male vocal staccatos, rave hits and back again, finding it's point-of-no-return in a Sartre-like fulminant ending.

On B side, Juanpablo and Vinz Vincenzo get together to create a remix with two versions. Both versions keep the raw percussions from the original with some deep industrial sounds and added some drum elements to make it more groovy, modern and ready to burn dancefloors. Some dark vocals appear randomly to add more flavor to this mixture that we guarantee will be very hard to describe as usual on Frigio Records

The second instalment on East London club trax features 3 rough n ready club cut's fresh from the ironlung's lair. The B Side also feature's a debut track from newcomer Dean Lyon. Move quick.

Solar One Music is back with Marcus Mumm's project Das Muster. After 2 albums for Transient Force, now he delivers this full length masterpiece for SOM. Minimalistic, ice cold and robotic electro music at its best. Don't sleep on this one. Limited to 99 CD's in 3 different cover versions! Each is limited to 33 copies. Presented in a beautiful metal box. You can not choose the cover.

As a label manager a lot of music reaches you ears. Some you get especially attached to. This release is one of those. The two Italian producers Massprod and Herva (Bosconi, Delsin) has together produced some music that feels very unique and different. The EP that goes under the wonderful title Technology Fail as a Birth Control for Unnecessary Recordings, contains a set of songs that blend distorted funk, lo-fi tape recordings, noise and ultra minimal electronica. Titles like Mike vs Speak and Overdub as a Weapon Against Modern Laptop Wanking and Fourth Dimension Opens Up to Show Invisible Boogie Maze might even open up for new horizons for our label, the label with no set goals. We hope you like this one. We do.

LAST KNOWN TRAJECTORY proudly presents INKAMERA, the solo project of the multi-talented Victoria Lukas, who of course you may well be familiar with from her previous work as Zerkalo, performing alongside the legendary Gerald Donald. Here, the first Inkamera release demonstrates Victoria's clear understanding of what constitutes a solid and balanced musical project - 'Superpartners (Photon Photino) ' and (Death Doesn't Exist) ' are both pacey, electro drivers with a distinct European feel, the former being quite upbeat, while the latter rendering a slightly darker more sinister air. 'I Can Speak' provides a volatile contrast with its crazy, freestyle electro beats and rhythms, whilst both 'Human Terms' and 'Potentia' showcase Victoria's quite distinctive, totally unmistakable, seductively hypnotic vocal to a backdrop of gorgeous electronics. A superb solo debut from Lukas - let us hope that there are many more to follow.

Hectic Dystopian stuff abound as LAST KNOWN TRAJECTORY proudly presents the very exciting 'Nuclear Invasion' EP from Jauzas the Shining. Featuring once again the seductive vocals of Victoria Lukas alongside the remix talent of none other than Heinrich Mueller. From the bustling drama of the title track, to the highly hypnotic 'Crockett', impending doom of 'Reality' and stark, edgy shenanigans of 'Bohrium', this EP has it all!
All tracks written and produced by Jauzas the Shining for Last Known Trajectory 2013 'Nuclear Invasion' & 'Reality' featuring vocals by Victoria Lukas 'Bohrium' remixed by Heinrich Mueller Mastered by Alek Stark @ Fundamental Audio.

3 rough, rugged, and raw tunes in which the waveforms are stopping eardrums and woofers, meanwhile experimenting but still staying true to the Chicago ethos. "Man, you just got hit with some Guerilla Shit!"

New York City techno mastermind Oliver Chesler aka "The Horrorist" returns in 2013 with his 4th full length album released on his very own label Things To Come Records. He goes back to his roots with 11 completely evil, wild, sex filled tracks. This is really dark, sick twisted material. Techno heads will love it, EBM fanatics too. Electronic torture never sounded so good ! The horror show returns ! Awesome album.

grey marbled vinyl edition!

With fans like Amon Tobin, Skrillex and Noisia (who've signed them to their Division Recordings label), you'd expect Neosignal to offer something different - and the German duo (aka drum & bass heroes Phace & Misanthrop) certainly don't disappoint. Their debut album 'Raum und Zeit' including the single 'Planet Online' is out now! Their influences range from Can to Kraftwerk and Joy Division to Led Zeppelin, and, while their music has elements of early Krautrock, industrial and 80's EBM (electronic body music), its powered by 21st century, bass-driven production.

This release is the logical step after "Aeon", this time it evolves to a stage where old and new merge together, "Surface" has the typical sequential synth lines inspired in the past by iconic groups such as Tangerine Dream but it has been added a good number of refreshing digital drones and textures, a little bit glitch background errors and cold wavetable pads, but at the end keeping the essential vision alive due to all the tracks were recorded live, playing synths and keyboards in realtime specially for this production... This production comes in two different vinyl editions, a 200 copies standard black vinyl and the limited 100 copies orange+black wax. Be ready to take land on the Surface.
