Acid freak-outs and gangsta electro by the cult figure from Rotterdam South, Hannibal Peck.

Umwelt returns to his own New Flesh Records imprint with his unique EP to date this year. "Escape The Future" sees the French producer concluding his Future trilogy started in 2015 with "When Future And Past Collapse" and pursued in 2017 with "Encoding The Future" on Netherlands based Shipwrec. Fuelled by industrial and post-apocalyptic atmospheres, Umwelt's brand new 12" gathers together all of the elements that made his dark sound so recognizable, a digest of complex yet dancefloor rhythms fused into insane synth oscillations and Rave influences.
Melodic "Escape The Future" is a much anticipating five tracker blending Umwelt's unique aesthetic and style, obsessed by a pessimistic vision of the future.

Following on from his Mud EP, one of this year’s most distinctive, body- and mind-contorting dancefloor 12”s, Haunter Records boss Heith fires up his Saucers private press for a KILLER collaboration with longtime sparring partner Weightausend. Seriously, this is the biz - broken, bionic, 4D dancehall / tekno battle-droids that carve out disruptive new geometries in the dance without once dropping the ball or getting on your tits. Feels like there’s a million different going things on in each track, and yet H&W build air-flow into their creations - there is room for reflection and bliss-out amid the tangles of twisted metal and reptile blood spatter! Massive tip for anyone into that recent Pharmakustik record, Mike Dred & Peter Green's Virtual Farmer...but this is totally it’s own thing. With suitably stomach-turning artwork by the great Tim Ryan.

Malin Genie welcomes an extensive EP treat from Lava Lap, an emergent producer with an affinity for the kind of braindance that will have fans of Jodey Kendrick beating their drum machines with approval. The acid is slippery, the structures ever-shifting and a wealth of expression spills out of every bar. There are faster drum & bass paced bits, melancholy detuned electro and much more besides. Far from just being clever music though, it's also amazingly emotional and so impeccably produced. Any electronica head should be all over this.

The label say: Raw, melodic and urgent. That is what Kmyle and his “Come Back” 12” are about.

Hailing from the South of France, Kmyle needs to be urgently reevaluated and appreciated. All three songs here are complex, harmonious and relentless. They create the landscapes for the dancefloors we so desperately need.

Kmyle is the future of techno and "Come Back" is the second release on Still Techno.

There's no doubt that Luca Piermattei is one of the most exciting young producers coming from the ever-growing Italian scene. The Seekers family member has been steadily releasing on some of the most influential labels of the moment, including his own imprint Polarity, which he runs with Gabrø, Frankfurt's HardWorkSoftDrink and EYA to name a few. His latest output is Colt Music's sixth release, in which he delivers four bass-driven, minimalistic tracks that fly effortlessly between house and electro in his very own signature style.

Yoshi Records is back with a bangin´ Electro 5-Tracker by Nino Šebelić. For lovers of carefully orchestrated modular escapades, this probably is not the right record. For lovers of stone cold Electro vibes straight from the streets, this is the right record.

Third release of greta wohlfahrt. two tracks from empty spaces in 2020. first side is a electro filterzap beat driven 12/8 bassline. the track has been mostly done in a live session with ms-10 sequencer controlling korg ms-20 synths.
