Get ready for another Techno bomb on Footwork Audio by label boss Jay Lumen!! For this second release Jay has created two seriously massive peak time tunes. Fusion' has that dark and trippy energy by the mixture of the characteristic Moog synth and 808 elements. While Old Machines' having more of an old school feel with a deep dub Techno basis. On top of that we welcome Kaiserdisco' to the Footwork family. The chart ruling DJ/producer duo consisting of Patrick Buck and Frederic Berger, created a genius remix with a less is more' approach on Old Machines'.

For this 3nd release, we are proud to release a record with a lot of talents on it. Includes tracks by Angel Mosteiro (ES), Sonartek (IT) and Katy Blue (IT) plus 2 great remixes by Medu (ES) and Lower&OSp (ES). Limited edition / No digital Promo / Vinyl Only

'Maledetti' is a duo project by Lamusa II & Riccardo Schirò. 'Ritmi' is a dialectical trip to the Truth in five rave steps, including a special remix by Yoshinori Hayashi. A hell-yeah-damn-good record!

For this release Metrist delves into a set of carefully constructed and deeply rhythmic but ear-grabbingly idiosyncratic, mixed fidelity dancefloor-geared oddities.

The first three tracks are united, in a fashion, by the artist's skill at programming a series of drum tracks that set a definite tone for the productions. Within a quite partisan field of often microscopic generic variety, largely pinned down to the tempo and timbre of electronic drums, here Metrist has pursued a tricky-to-define path. The bounce of new jack swing is twisted amongst stripped back polyrhythms, equal parts groove and glitch seasoned by some futuristic acid filters that create a constantly shifting aura of space and textural nuance around the individual drum hits. Quite often arrhythmic interjections punctuate these 'grooves', be it the sawing bursts of noise and snarled, incoherent vocals on 'An Soaep', the non-language and playful, bubbling bass surrounding the half time feel of 'On Golden Seize' that builds to something approximating an industrial take on UK Funky or the brash sub-wobbles that intrude 'Pantomimer Tongue's juddering knife-scraping-on-a-balloon stutters.

'Caaacel the Horze' closes the record in a less weighty style, with crunchy arpeggios running on a synth that sounds like it's picking up interference from a radio channel, as snatches of moaned vocals allude to a deeply ambiguous yet chilling narrative behind the music. Thudding kicks intrude on the skittish melody but in a non-rhythmic way reminiscent of someone trying desperately to snatch your attention by banging on the adjacent wall. Gauzy melodic textures in the background provide a calming counterpoint to the uneasy qualities of the composition.

Following our tenth release we welcome two unique and established artists into the Leftback family.
David Gtronic and Randall M join us for their first outing on the label off the back of their busy international touring schedule and contribute an epic deep and twisted track across one whole of side A.
Accompanied on the B side by a heavy duty dub mix stripping back the original track and knotching up the BPM. Label regular Matt Star provides his dubby techno stamp for the remix completing the package on B2.

After five various releases, Vakum returns with their first full EP including their first ever remix. 'Silom' EP is a diverse story signed by Disrupted Project, an artist they had the chance to present on their very first VAKUM back in 2014. Now he's back with full EP which is rounded with a remix from Toronto's finest - Basic Soul Unit. The tracks are ranging from detroit influenced electro and chordy big room techno to breakbeat rave like drums and melodies.

Anagram Label follow up their 'Phasing Faces' releases with remixes from Efdemin, Lapien, Ryan James Ford and Terrence Dixon under his Population One moniker this December. Released earlier this year, 'Phasing Faces' was a two-part series featuring Anetha, Elad Magdasi, Mathame and Maukook, not to mention label founders Sinfol and Octual. Anagram have now tapped up four reputable names for a heavyweight remix package; Dial regular Efdemin, fast rising MDR and Answer Code Request act Ryan James Ford, Dutch producer Lapien aka one half of Delsin's Artefakt, as well as renowned Detroit artist Terrence Dixon appearing as Population One. Ostgut Ton's Efdemin opens the package with his immersive remix of Sinfol 'Trembling', incorporating pulsating drones, echoing effects and ethereal synths. Anetha's 'Acid Train' then gets reimagined by SHUT founder Ryan James Ford - the Canadian combines thudding kicks with mesmerising atmospherics as metallic percussion skips throughout. Adding further depth to the release, Rekids and Mistress Recordings artist Lapien remixes Elad Magdasi 'Two Floors' to generate a smooth aesthetic complete with serene nuances and soulful vocal coos before Rush Hour and Metroplex's Population One ties everything together with a deep house reinterpretation of Octual 'Dark Sky'.

Decay Records kicks off 2016 with Frank Strom & Simon T's 'Extension' EP, accompanied by remixes from Hector and Yousef.

Pisa, Italy born artist Frank Storm has been releasing material for the past five years via the likes of Frequenza, Baile Musik, Sleep Is Commercial and Serkal, and just recently became a part of Carl
Craig's new concept events 'Detroit Love'. Here we see Frank join forces with Milan's Simon T for a collaborative EP on Decay Records, a growing London based imprint which is home to artists such as Franck Roger, Neverdogs, Alex Arnout and Geddes.
Kicking things off is the original mix of title track 'Extension' from the duo, a robust percussive led workout laid out over seven a half minutes with rumbling low end and swirling atmospherics running alongside pulsating synth flourishes and hypnotic vocal murmurs. Following is 'Winch' which takes on a more stripped back feel with spare distorted drum sounds, snaking synth grooves and eerie low-pitched vocal licks.

Desolat's Hector steps up to rework 'Extension' next and dismantles the original composition into a low-slung, stripped back affair via shuffling organic percussion, a subtly blooming underlying tension and dubbed out swells of the original synth lines. Circus main man Yousef then adds a more melodic edge to things with his take on 'Extension', fusing bubbling arpeggios and soaring pad lines with reshape snippets from the original track.

* Three releases in to Planetary Notions' journey and its cosmic infusion of house and minimal techno has been picked up by the likes of Sven Väth, Craig Richards, Delano Smith, Mr G, Evan Baggs and Nastia while also earning recognition from Resident Advisor, Boiler Room and Mixmag.* The label's latest effort sees two much-hyped artists Lopaski and Stevn.aint.leavn deliver their take on the label's sound for the very first time. Having earned widespread respect through releasing on Elephant Moon and Beste Modus respectively.

* On the A-side Lopaski provides a lush utopian soundscape easing you in to the track with atmospheric tropical pads and data bubbles of what must be an unknown alien language.The combination of a dubby low-end kick and swung hi hats provide the drive which powers the track forward. Cosmic energy and groove of comes courtesy a walking sub-low bassline turning Time Lapse into a power play built for dancefloor meditation.
Stevn.aint.leavn comes correct on the flip side with his far-out, low-slung effort Peacherine. The track begins with a skippy shuffled beat containing a crunchy snare, slick rimshot and a open hat that sets pace from the get go. The gliding sub bass groove provides genuine warmth before a techy breakdown echos sentiments of an interstellar message which guides you back into a UK garage swing paying homage to the the label's London roots.

Mini Logo vinyl series under the Nami imprint.

* Manchester's Walton returns to Tectonic following last year's explorations in grime flavoured house/techno offshoots on the killer 'Bulldoze EP'. This time Walton leads with a dance floor crushing anthem that cruises a cool line between grime and tribal dubstep. Featuring a looping Riko Dan sample, 'Gunman' sets a stone cold tone from the offset, hi-hats setting up the groove before a grime flavoured melody cuts in preparing you for the drop. When the bass and drums come crashing in they bounce off each other to produce a disorientating tribal rhythm that will set the dance floor alight!

* Flip for a slower, more gentle mood with 'Caught In A Trip'. Rolling at 126bpm, 'Caught In A Trip' builds around a developing melody played on a glockenspiel-esque instrument, backed with tribal percussion and a driving kick pattern. Ethereal in mood throughout, this one provides a lighter moment for the dance floor.

DreamsAreNotInside's vinyl series launches with this techno groover from Serbia's Petar Cvetkovic, Rolling Percussive Grooves and subtle vocals with a monster remix from Pesto Quinty.

"Dream Machine" is an unreleased track or even more a - pop' song people have been talking about for some months now not knowing what it is called and where to get it.
Dominik Eulberg has been playing it in his sets and it has created a big stir on Soundcloud and in the fan community so we are releasing the track now on a limited one side colored vinyl.
"Dream Machine" was written together with talented German musician Essáy who has a career for himself and together they have written this club hymn!

The release manifests in a clear transparent vinyl, with minimal information on the etiquette and is sold in a plastic bag including separate artwork by Miro D'Oro. This features a hand drawn vision of how a Dream Machine could look like for Dominik and Essáy.

Music wise the "Dream Machine's" captivating quality is it's compelling friendliness. The track is good Karma full stop and we see the track also as an extension of what Dominik has been writing in the last years developing his own style left-field of the techno universe.
That the track turned out so smooth incorporating a flute and floating beat which is very untypical for Dominik is certainly due to Essáy personality to create a wonderful smooth feeling with his music.

Estmode, after a fantastic release under his alias ARAV with Bordei Rosso EP comes up with this melodic mood 2 tracks solo on Vidre, new white label limited press

A first artist release after a big compilation comes from well known Argentinian, Berlin based artist Federico Molinari and his inner world of micro house and dance music.

Perc Trax is proud to unveil the 2nd 12' to be taken from Forward Strategy Group's debut album 'Labour Division'. Since its release at the end of May the album has received across the board DJ support and press coverage with a 4/5 review from Resident Advisor and even a full page in the Guardian about FSG and Perc Trax. The album has also had launch parties in Amsterdam and London and has seen the FSG guy's crossover outside of techno to be featured in the wider music press including The Quietus and Stool Pigeon.

This 2nd 12' rounds up some of the most popular tracks from the album giving them the vinyl release they truly deserve. First up is the most popular club track from the album; 'Elegant Mistakes' where raw industrial sounds meet with broken beats that hint back at classic UK hardcore. Completing the a-side is album opener 'Ident', one of the LP's most melodic moments and proof, if it was ever needed of Patrick and Al's wide ranging influences and production skills.

The b-side opens with 'Nihil Novi', an album favourite that appeared on the first Labour Division 12' as remixed by Factory Floor. Now the original mix appears on vinyl and it's echoing, slow-morphing stabs sound as cutting as ever. A DJ favourite since it was initially promo'd, it now sounds even better on vinyl. Closing the EP is a re-edit (sarcastically called a 'radio mix') of 'Metal Image', where a world of atmospherics opens up on top of a slow droning kick drum. A perfect set-opener or mid-set Dj tool it is demonstrates the variety that is on show across 'Labour Division' and is one of many reasons for the albums excellent reception.

the 10th anniversary remix contest edition of this classic track !!!!

KUF create emotion-laden dialogues across layers of time and dimensions of sound. Voices recorded in private are chopped up and brought out center-stage to sing with beats hammered out right here and now. Glowing synths push forward. Basslines rise to grab the melodic role of a track while a vowel is truncated and locked into a grid, driving the rhythm. Voices move within the frame of a sample, performed by hands pushing keys, guided by the ear, immersed in a trio session's deep flow... A vortex of quirky hands, responsive ears and glowing circuits. Since Thomas A. Edison first recorded the human voice in 1877, the recording arts have changed music forever. Musicians have explored the endless possibilities of bouncing their input onto layers of tape, off the walls of an echo chamber or the circuitry of electronic helpers - technology that modulates, spatializes, shifts, divides or multiplies the work of human hands and mouths. An era of sampling offered a cubistic analysis of the recorded past and DJs took dancers onto intricately fractured time travels. This is the historic foundation that KUF keep probing. Just like the sampler and the DJ before them, they found new ways to re-allocate where machine and man stand when making music together. Most importantly, they turn the resulting friction into sparkling bursts of energy. 'Universe' digs deeper into the android vocal chords. The album offers sweeping melodies, different beats and persistent bass. Immerse in the intimacy of the voices, probably recorded in trains, backstage areas and at late night private parties during Berlin Lichtenberg warehouse rehearsals. By striking the keys, KUF squeeze out and serve up all

Norken aka Metamatic releases his first EP on Neo Ouija. Four highly sought after cuts that symbolise the Norken sound at the time: Deep House with the sleekness and machine melancholy of British Chill-Out and IDM that's complimented with crisp drums which give a nod to early Detroit Techno. Norken is best known or his releases on Delsin, Hydrogen Dukebox and Assemble Music among others and there are also some upcoming EPs on Third Ear Recordings and Delsin to look forward to.

Horatio and Javi Green met in Ibiza and decided to summon their production skills in order to produce something really groundbreaking. Horatio & Javi did a superb job by fusing together the much hyped romanian techno with some spanish soul flavoured. On the remix duties is the one guy who is truly on the roll right now: Ada Kaleh .

Eitan Reiter is proud to announce the release of his latest album, Give It Life, on Guy J's Armadillo Records. With a dedicated and ever-growing fan base who have been captivated by his ever evolving sound across the years, Reiter has a varied and vital discography. As Eitan Ratier, he puts out techno on labels like Minus, Traum and Praxxiz, and has released an excellent house and techno album on Mule Musiq with Sebastian Mullaert, as well as solo effort Place I Miss That I Haven't Been To released on Aleph Zero in 2010. As such, he producers everything from minimal to psychedelic chill out to downtempo, also works as part of groups like Loud, and makes music for film and TV. This standout new album brings techno together with dark avant pop, proper songwriting and inventive studio trickery. It was made partly on the road between gigs around the globe, as well as in four different studios and various other places like a farm in South Africa, a bench in New York, or just a hotel room in Tokyo or Mexico.It is a coherent album that is not bound by any self imposed rules and has come together naturally and organically. It features a number of collaborations, singers and instrumentalists and and even finds the artist letting himself sing and play guitar. It also comes with some great videos for the tracks and has spawned a brand new live show with Nimrod Gorovich and Barak Rosen. Kicking off with 'Choices', a tender mood is set with carefully treated vocals and slow, sombre drums and chords. From there, the melancholic 'All That I Know' has more pained chords laid over bustling, broken kick drums and 'Fade Away' is an ethereal downtempo number coated in echo and reverb that makes it a hugely resonant track. The likes of 'Other Kind of Illusion' are brilliantly original tracks with gorgeous chords and guitars over pressurised thudding kicks, 'Avoid' is a modern day love song without the cheese with sweeping emotions and intimate whispered vocals and big splashes of drums, then things play out through the fractured keys and pixelated synths of electronic masterpiece 'Let It Out' and tripped out beats of 'The Black White Read' before ending on the lonely and insular chords and heavy hearted drums of 'You Are (The One)'. This is another essential album from a talented artist who has many different musical tricks up his sleeve and more than enough skills to carry them off. It is artistic, original and thoroughly absorbing from start to finish.

Since day one, Alex.Do accompanied the evolution of Plangent Records. He gave his opinion and feedback on the first tracks and was actually living in the same flat as Recondite when the label was founded back in 2010. It feels only natural that Alex is nailing the plangent mood with excellence on his first appearance on the label by delivering 4 sensitive, gentle, deep and mysterious tracks.

Felix Bernhardt is back on Delude Records. His productions are characterized by glitchy, floating and hissing sounds. This release contains four tracks. On the A side are the tracks BURDAT and LENSTRO, true masterpieces of modern techno production. On the flip, the tracks UP UP UP and SAND WAND make the same, brachial sound in best techno style.

PL007 is the beginning of a duo with Praymond and Thomas Murphy. It all started by setting up a temporary music studio in an old farm made of stones in the french countryside during the heat wave of Summer 2016 in France First, plug a microphone and start recording a couple of dry leafs crunched with gentle hands and mixed with the sound of ice cubes tingling at the bottom of a "Pastis" glass add to this some brushes played on a newspaper and fingers banging on the edge of a Kalimba, then finally, build around with your drum machines and analog synths. The result is a classy brand a alternative minimal techno, mixing acoustic rhythmics and relentless swing. None of the tracks were designed for massive "big room" type techno with "big drops" and never ending "build ups" but more for human size bounding experiences and never ending after partys. Both slow burning tracks have in common a introspective quality, specially "Les Cailloux" but both tracks remain "Solar" in essence. "Cadillac" has a more "Gold tooth & Chains" attitude to it and could remind the listener (If he ever had the experience) of being on the run in a get away car, stepping on the gas, crossing the desert with an open roof top after robbing our dear financial institutions :)
