Techno Vinyl New Releases - News

Cryovac Recordings seeks out characters that give depth to the soundscape of Detroit's Underground. Cryovac individuals believe in their path and stand for their art. Ray7 is a multifaceted musical being surviving an ever evolving technosphere. He is an unknown hero that holds his own sonicly on any side of the planet. Ray7 provides the power needed for the Cryovac machine to hatch a new plot. Cryovac exists due to the efforts of craftsmen and artists that work together to make something unique
Side A starts with an ancient Zulu chant that provides protection as well as a funky sort of techno break pop. The next track grinds in to a ruff and gritty narration of ghetto mind-set under the influence of classic electro. A constant roll moves the last track into addition and subtraction inside of a spartan groove that breaks and turns with strength.
Side B opens with a busy 4/4 be-bop lackadaisically drifting with dreamy synth over the chatter of voice, hi-hats, and reverb broken down by a 303 buzzing. Track two is a dark and sloppy incomprehensible subliminal sing-a-long building and ebbing around a stark kick and clap.

'Travelog' was the third EP released by Mat Steel and Mark Fell as SND, arriving in 1999 just before the release of their influential debut album 'Makesnd Cassette' on the Mille Plateaux label. Of the three EP reissues in the series, 'Travelog' contains the most developed and satisfying work from the pair, edging their reduced production palette into more fully-realised dimensions, colouring-in those instantly recognisable bass notes and isolated percussive elements with a slow, sublime trickle of melody.The 6 extra tracks included are indispensable - extending the original EP into an hour of mesmerising, slowly immersive rhythmic pulses that still sound pretty much unlike anything you'll have heard before - a perfect bridge between House, Techno and UKG re-imagined within a stripped structure that should act as a masterclass for a new school of producers trying to balance-out rhythmic complexity with space.The opening 'A1' encapsulates this asymmetry brilliantly, bare swing and shuffle riding chiming chords that add warmth and space to an already intoxicating blueprint, while A3 takes those same elements and sharpens them into a slow, undulating alignment bolstered by that immaculate mastering treatment from Rashad Becker. 'B3' takes things deeper - a slow percussive edit slowly drowned-out by a growling analogue drone, while the closing side joins the dots between this EP series and that trio of albums for Mille Plateaux that would soon establish SND as the most forward-thinking and still resolutely original producers from an otherwise largely-forgotten musical era.

Mysterious new outfit Glasstalk Records start as they mean to go on with their debut release, showcasing some heavy-hitting techno from Kettering via Leeds upstart, Wilhelm. At the ripe age of 21 and with only one release to his name prior to 38thParallel, this producer has already attracted a lot of support from a stellar cast of tastemakers including Bruce, Midland, Batu, Avalon Emerson, Tasker and A Made Up Sound as well as landing recent radio plays from the likes of Skream, B. Traits, Moxie, George Fitzgerald, Batu and Via Maris.

Wilhelm kicks off the EP with the haunting 'Our World.' This dancefloor heater is jam packed with frenetic percussion, overtly time-stretched whispers and ambient samples of mechanical scrapings. Next up is the title track of 38thParallel EP, a distinctly more off-kilter affair than its predecessor due to its quick-fire drum patterns. Rounding off the release is 'Assignment,' which was quite literally made as an assignment for the producer's university course! This slowed techno roller would be perfect as a set opener.

Granny13 opens with Nicola Ratti's 'Odd Doubt'. With the use of a modular system and tape loops, a broken rhythm is obtained by parallelism between single sound signals as LFO one or processed tapes.On the second side, Giovanni Lami's 'Johnny Leech' is made with a small bunch of equipment, just a chaotic hand-made synth (cacophonator) and a memoryman, working mainly on static electricity and leakage current in the synth used without any kind of power supply.

Reviews

The Wire
''Two Italian mucisians share a split single of glitchy fun and everyone goes some happy. Lami s piece uses a defective unplugged synthesizer to make huzzing chitters that have a kind of rhythm in spots. Ratti s contribution is a bit more structured it sounds like a record of accordion miniatures broken into pieces, then glued back together with little pieces of felt stuck onto it. Which would definitely be a pretty hep thing to hear.''

''Some releases qualify as art objects as much as musical collections, a case in point this recent seven-inch vinyl outing featuring material by Nicola Ratti on one side and Giovanni Lami on the other. That shouldn't be interpreted to mean that the musical content isn't worthy of one's time, as it assuredly is, but more to emphasize how striking the sleeve artwork by Opora is and how effectively it complements the musical content.Mastered by Giuseppe Ielasi and issued in an edition of 150 copies, the release opens with Odd Doubt, a concise experimental setting by the Milan-born Ratti, who's issued material on labels such as Anticipate, Preservation, Die Schachtel, and Entr'acte and who's presently working with Ielasi in the project Bellows, with Attila Faravelli as Faravelliratti, and with Enrico Malatesta and Faravelli in ~Tilde. Though Ratti started out as a guitar player, his current focus is more on beat-analog experimentation and sound installation. In Odd Doubt, Ratti's modular system and tape loops generate broken rhythms that varyingly call to mind dub-techno, even if dub-techno of an extremely wonky variety. Off-beat chords, crackle, and snare strikes add to the dubwise flavour of the material, though ultimately it registers as more of an experimental exploration than straight-up dub exercise.The flip side features Johnny Leech by Lami, a one-time photographer now known as both a field recordist and a musician focusing on soundscaping and sound-ecology. In his contribution to the seven-inch, Lami's chaotic hand-made synth (cacophonator) and memoryman give birth to blustery smears of static electricity that ultimately mutate into an Oval-like array of ripples and scratches. Johnny Leech is so removed from anything conventionally musical, it makes Odd Doubt sound like a Top 40 pop song. Like Ratti's piece, Lami's is short, so short, in fact, it gives the impression of being an excerpt from a larger sound art work. Here's a release where the abstract nature of the musical content matches its visual presentation.December 2014''

Vital Weekly 951
''Granny Records is from Greece, but the two musicians here are from Italy, of which I don't I heard from Giovanni Lami before. His piece is called 'Johnny Leech' and he uses a hand-made synth known as the cacophonator and a memory man (a delay machine), 'working mainly on static electricity and leakage current in the synth used without any kind of power supply'. It makes up for a nice piece of chaotic lo-fi sound, which is put forward through methods of improvisation. Quite a nice piece and it fits the format very well. The crackling of vinyl surely adds an extra layer. Nicola Ratti uses a modular synth and tape loops, of what seems to be percussive material, but the rhythm is broken down and the whole thing has a nice gentle feel to it, even when it bumps, clicks and glides, but the synth makes it more subtle. Here too one could say this perfect for a 7": one doesn't have the idea that this is cut from a longer part as is not unusual with this kind music. Especially Ratti seems to have worked out his music as a composition, which is very nice.

Samuel van Dijk is an electronic music producer, sound designer and media artist from the Netherlands releasing deep electronic music as VC-118A, Mohlao, and Multicast Dynamics. Drawing inspiration from technology, nature, film, and fiction, his productions and live sets embody a dynamic musical framework. Since the Dutchman surfaced as Mohlao for labels like Meanwhile, Field and Other Heights at the turn of the decade, van Dijks music has found a firm position; the ethereal electro VC-118A project, deep ambient techno as Mohlao, and subterranean ambient as Multicast Dynamics.

Mastered and cut by Rashad Becker at Dubplates & Mastering in Berlin.

Hana's first and self-titled LP was recorded in Autumn 2010 at Facta non Verba and consists out of 5 tracks which are techno oriented with disposal of experimental and abstract elements.

Reviews

OMG Vinyl
Hana s S/T LP is easily the best promo records we ve gotten in months. This Greek duo has somehow, almost entirely below the radar, released one of the most exciting electronic records of 2011. Their wobbly brand of techno sometimes chugs ahead at full-speed, other times easing back into a wider waver, almost resembling some weird, warped IDM. I will be shocked if this record doesn t get wider appreciation very soon. Whether that happens or not, we fully recommend it, track one down.

Cyclic Defrost by Oliver Laing
Granny Records duo Hana come correct with their first album, offering a refreshing take on techno and IDM variants in the vein of Jan Jelinek, Raime, Actress and hints of the mighty Chain Reaction label. Mastered at Berlin s Dubplates and Mastering by none other than Rashad Becker, a name that often appears in the run-out groove of artists who inhabit a curiously funky techno-not-techno netherworld Hana s debut self-titled release grows in stature and listening enjoyment with every spin. With a sense of fun and adventure inhabiting the grooves, Hana (who are also part of label-mates, Good Luck Mr Gorsky), explore experimental timbres and ghostly vocalisations with a lightness of touch that belies their recording credentials.

Starting off with an abstract, Clicks and Cuts style intro, Liv slowly finds the sweet spot between mutant Detroit electro funk, a hint of the indie/dance territory of Matthew Dear and the abstract, yet rhythmic 12 releases on the Beatservice label, by Norwegian duo Information from the mid 90s. Obermaier implies the groove to begin with, until a wrong-footed man-with-two-left-feet rhythm leads into minimal acidic flourishes. Album opener SM heads in a Ricardo Villalobos vs. Nonplace Urban Field direction, as the lopsided rhythm and sepulchral vocals add a haunted edge to proceedings. CR80 uses beautifully syncopated live drums and urgent female vocals, and adds a driving, belligerent synth riff falling somewhere in between DMZ and Gary Numan. Echoic, boingy sounds threaten to derail the beat, but somehow it manages to maintain, reminding me of Shed and A Made Up Sound; more in overall feel than in the specific sounds. For those that enjoy abstract electronics that work just as well on headphones as on the dance floor, Greece s Hana are a duo to watch.

Textura
Hana's self-titled debut album arrives saddled with a (literally) cheeky front cover one would more associate with a 70s band like Wild Cherry than a Greece-based techno outfit formed in Thessaloniki last summer. Recorded in fall 2010 at Facta non Verba, the five-cut release finds Good Luck Mr Gorsky members Thanasis Papadopoulos and Thanos Bantis hunkered down in their chemical lab concocting formulae to go along with their material's stripped-down techno beats. Using analogue synths, samplers, and sequencers, the duo brings a decidely experimental edge to their productions, sprinkling as they do liberal doses of burble and flutter over bass-heavy techno rhythms.
The opening track, Sm, sets the scene with a heavy low-end pulse thudding alongside a steady kick drum and joined by acidy synths and percussive effects that suggest a lighter being repeatedly flicked open. On a slightly more aggressive tip, the B-side's Cr80 adds truncated vocal yelps to its bleepy, elephantine throb. A dubby dimension emerges in the track, too, when echoing waves drift repeatedly across the huge bass that slithers across the track's underbelly. The album's most elaborate track comes last. Liv opens beatlessly with flickering shudders and what could pass for the amplified workings of an ant community but then progressively fills in the dots with an insistent beat pattern, voice fragments, and even the demented meander of accordion playing. Though Hana hardly rewrites the techno guidebook on the release, it's nevertheless a pleasurable listen, in part due to the multi-dimensional experience provided by the vinyl format and the always superb mastering work done by Rashad Becker at Berlin's Dubplates & Mastering.

Bucharest Label Feno Volana first release comes with 3 tracks full of layered sounds and emotional building up from the label owner Triptil

Galaxies in our universe seem to be achieving an impossible feat. They are rotating with such speed that the gravity generated by their observable matter could not possibly hold them together, they should have torn themselves apart long ago. This leads us to believe that something we cannot see is at work. This strange and unknown matter is called dark matter' since it is not visible.

Dark Matter affects the speed, structure and evolution of everything, yet its nature remains a mystery we are yet to explore. This potent, affecting darkness is paralleled in DeWalta´s newest creation, a double 12 Vinyl release on Amphia.

Anna Reusch returns to the bouq.-family with her third release and two peaktime lifesavers for the summer. A big thanks goes to M.In, Basti Grub and Future Proof for their great remixes.

Volupso 007 is brought to you by David Gtronic & Chad Andrew who represent the Vatos Locos Crew.

2 Original tracks, 1 as a collaboration between David Gtronic & Chad Andrew and 1 track being just David Gtronic. Mango is remixed by Bearface and Blue & White has a Romanian edge delivered by Funk E.

4 unique tracks to give you a very diverse release from the House of Volupso. Enjoy xx

The long awaited 12" by our good friend Arapu is here.
Two prime cuts that easily connect your mind your body and your soul. Please welcome Sunwaves resident and highly respected producer Arapu to the PTX Squad

Following his widely celebrated Macro Habitat EP of last year, Santos returns to Dissonant to deliver another three tracks, laying down detailed rhythms that shimmer with the infectious energy in which the man has made his twenty-year career on. 'Garlic' is a roving thrill-ride that hangs on to the commanding groove as it whips through a dense landscape of sound, constantly moving forward with an energy that speaks to primal instincts. That leaves it to 'Invisible' to get deep in the dub, letting masterfully handled delay and reverb pulse out a spiritually enriching techno mantra. 'Cable' takes a different approach, weaving some colour into the mix. The rolling beat flirts with playful swathes of synthesizer and samples for a wonderfully trippy end result that delights the mind, just as it moves the body.

Miss Jools finally steps inside with her deep and groovy signature sound with her first EP on Sol Asylum with a remix from Dana Ruh. We instantly fell in love with Stepping Inside," this beautifully crafted atmospheric groover is destined to be a timeless gem. Followed by Dana Ruh's swingy reinterpretati that is finely crafted for the dance floor while still keeping it's original sophistication. We are definitely not sorry to have this spaced out deep roller with a nice melodic surprise in the middle titled Sorry Not Sorry.' Then wrapping this package beautifully together is 444 Marjorie' a more classical approach to deep house but always with a modern twist with a dedication to someone very special to Jools.

Molecule returns with a new odyssey both physical and musical. Following the success of 60°43' Nord, his concept debut played, recorded and mixed on a fishing boat during a 34-day journey in the Atlantic Ocean, the French producer decided this time to take the process further up North and embarked on a voyage to Greenland. Isolated for five weeks in the small Inuit village of Tiniteqilaaq, Romain Delahaye used his 'survival electrokit' to find new sounds in the fjords, the icefields and the hostile yet dazzling landscapes surrounding him. Entirely recorded and mixed in this remoted place, the tracks of -22,7°C range from contemplative ambient atmospheres to more upbeat techno blizzards and accurately translate this epic self-reflective adventure across a land of contrast, its abyssal silences, its immaculate glaciers and its blinding whiteness. With ten previously unheard tracks and very enthusiastic early feedbacks from medias internationally, -22,7°C is set to confirm Molecule's status as a one-of-a-kind producer in today's electro scene.

The only vinyl imprint Roundqube Musik is back on the scene with its 13th release. Gabriele Mancino joins the Berlin based label for the first time delivering a fine minimal pack with two bouncy original plus a mental trippin remix made up by Andrea Ferlin week known for his appearances on such label as Sleep is Commercial, AMAM and Vinyl Club.

Only 6 months after Christian Hornbostel's big success with his 'Species EP' he gladly returns to Martin Eyerer and Rainer Weichhold's label Kling Klong with 3 more even bigger tunes. This time it was Metodi Hristov's turn to work on a remix interpretation and the Terminal M artist from Bulgaria knew exactely how to work his studio magic.

P.U.N.C.H.I.S. Records is back after a slamming support on our first imprint but this time we would like to bring you one of the most talented breakthrough artists of the year from Spain - Enzo Leep & Saul Nieto, delivering us two huge originals - Magnetic Blue Eagle & Odyssey.To complete this bomb vinyl we've invited another Spanish maestro Medu and Argentinian star Alexis Cabrera. Well - balanced, groovy and moving - that's how we would like to describe this EP in a few words.

It moves, it sings. ...but does it swing Anyway, it represents the soundtrack of my life, my musical influences: some San Francisco psychedelia, some London underground, some Berlin school (old & new). Krautrock from Cologne & New York minimalism. A shot of Detroit grit, a bit of Moscow dust, a splash of Paris charm Who knows. Its about daily grind, the passing of time, the change of seasons & relations. Reality & fiction & perception. Biography - back & forth

Why So Series number 3 release brings to light the young and talented Lumieux with his "Alba Electronica" EP.Starting off with the A side, "Hey Raspberry", he throws the listener into a acidic micro-house mural, topped off with a warm melodic aftertouch. The B side closes in to a more reflective mood - "Mod E Prier", glitches and twists itself around the rhythmic elements, dark melody and rough bass, while "Angel Contact" breaks into a more atmospheric and relaxed mood, perfectly fitted for early warm-up sets or late afterhours.Vinyl only, 180 gramm & original artwork included in shrinked sleeve.

new sublabel from feinwerk !!!! great tracks targeting minimal funk madness !!!

Presenting the latest release from Inmotion Music as the NYC based imprint welcomes fellow city dwelling deviant ELON to the helm. Representing the long lineage of quality underground artists to come out of the city, ELON offers some deep and straight up techno that comes straight from the heart and aims solely for the feet...

ELON is certainly no stranger to the dance-floor, as his previous releases on Metroline, Made to Play and his own ReSolute label whole heartedly prove. Thick sonic attributes, mining basslines and hypnotic drums characterise the essence of this industrial leaning EP - a perfect fit, then, for this fresh label.

The EP kicks off with the almighty thud of Azone, which comes equipped with two strong remixes from already anointed label affiliate Marco Faraone and the much saught after skills of Marco Zenker. The original version's mix of heavy instruments and deep aesthetics makes it a stand out track of the moment, evoking memories of Octave One's groove and rhythm, not to mention it's raw, untreated analogue feel. Lots of oscillating basslines and perky percussive elements, all of which are stripped back on Faraone's interpretation, stripping apart the major chord buzz into a hollow, lurking track that builds at a menacing pace before unleashing full acid stabs and blasts.

Munich's Marco Zenker brings a bleaker tapestry, with the first minute of the track building in atmosphere and melody.., before bringing the beats through a hazy veil of shrouded mystery and muted mastering.

The EP is then bolstered by two more original ELON productions, both showing the Brooklyn based DJ's production prowess in abundance, Ten - with it's jittery rhythm, electro boogie overtones and acidic hypnotic rhythm - stands as warehouse techno at it's finest, most futuristic style.

The fifth ep from Dj Shufflemaster's Shiki Kyokai. The original track was made in 2004 that involve psychedelic mood and form on minimal techno. and japanese talented producer CHERRYBOY FUNCTION who propose a possibility of new direction and sound in 2000year era made 2 remixes with jazzy sax riff and complicated his heavy groove. It's a wonderful encounter of Japanese Techno scene.

Bleep bleeeep... Domenico Rosa is back on his label one year later!

Martin Eyerer & Rainer Weichhold are very glad to welcome back Ninetoes on Kling Klong Records where he kickstarted his world conquest with 'Finder' in 2013. Meanwhile his catalogue also contains release and remixes on Saved, Snatch!, Noir, Toolroom etc.

Ninetoes also asked his mates Kevin Over and Ramon Tapia to demonstrate their remix skills and we all can't be happier about the result.

Two tracks from a brand new (second in a row) EP by Warsaw-based duo Tumult Hands fully illustrate paradoxical approach of Jacek Sienkiewicz and Jurek PrzeŸdziecki to the creation of a common integrated form. Spontaneous compositional decisions and minute sound interventions are contrasted here with a persistent precision of rhythms generated by both musicians in a reality of an inter-studio' space, in moments of an encounter - sometimes, fully controlled collision - of two worlds. Full of inner rigour and logic (record is a prime example of modern functionalist music), although teeming with fantasy and flourish, Tumult Hands' current explorations also announce duo's full-length LP, soon to be released through Recognition Records.

Utopus is Ion D's project that deals with tehno heresies, not-minimal and fragmented melancholy. Ion D is the ubiquitous main-character of Future Nuggets standing as a producer behind many entities like Steaua de Mare, Raze de Soare, Australopitecus Oltensis, co-producing Delusion Men and appearing under different cameos in both volumes "Sound of the Unheard from Romania". On P-Balans imprint Utopus will endevour with club-oriented laboratory work, keeping intact the "delics" of each genre compressed in the amalgan. Set yourselves up for some balanced grooves augmented by unfinished melodies, abstract dramaturgy and very serious tehnodelic motors.

Kling Klong founder Martin Eyerer has always been a big fan of collaborations and since their common releases on Get Physical and Leena worked that well it's definitely time to team up with Ackermann on his own label, too. And a big shout out goes to Kaiserdisco who return with a great remix to Kling Klong after several years of absence since their massive success with Jaana.

Following his first EP on Field Records in 2015, Staffan Linzatti presents the 25th instalment of the label with a perfectly balanced minimalist techno triple pack.

VRAC aka Andrei Ciubuc & Vlad Radu are back on Subtil. The release features two tracks, titled Repattern and Default 44.

Both tracks characterized by a mesh of hypnotic drums, clicks as well as dark synth-lines, skillfully arranged into an ambivalent atmosphere.

It´s good to have the two romanians back on Subtil.

Dissonant returns with some thrilling, fresh grooves from New York City by the talented producer Bobby Gasparakis for the upcoming release. The legacy of NY house on Gaspara sound is balanced out by a measured and energetic approach reaching the most effective dancefloor cuts. The title track on this Nafpi EP' is a perfect example with plenty of subtle touches into the mix that edge the funk into this exciting Spartan soundscape, from playful conga hits to the insistent clap always increasing the pull of the rhythm section. Providing the perfect contrast, A Pillow for Julia' is an adventurous and exotic excursion with organic instrumentation alongside distant sweeps of pads, subtle shimmers of dub chords sounding sometimes like swirling vocals. This combination unfolds like a gripping story, carefully arranged across nine minutes of transcendental music to create a spiritual experience that shows Gaspara's diversity. Whether you want a straight-ahead club workout or a sensual trip into more unusual realms of house music, Gaspara has proved to be an outstanding talent on his first release for Dissonant.

GOLDEN AGE UK TECH HOUSE FROM 1999. VERY VERY RARE. 30 COPIES ONLY WORLDWIDE. ONLY ONE FOR SALE ON DISCOGS FOR £43 BUT THIS IS NEVER PLAYED STOCK.WAREHOUSE FIND. MINT CONDITION ORIGINAL PRESS FROM ARTISTS LOFT!!EXPECT MORE PAUL HESTER RE ISSUES AND NEW RELEASES IN THE NEAR FUTURE!!

'The Continuum Hypothesis' by Cleymoore and Andrea Cichecki stood proud as Rotate's first collaborational EP, and despite being the imprint's first attempt on showcasing its roster
through talent fusion, it served perfectly as a refined and spontaneous creation where both artists could easily be heard and identified.

Rotate's curatorial decisions seem to consistently circle around a small but extremely talent-ed group of young artists who aren't afraid of musical experimentation, with command of
very personal visions of futuristic dance music, no matter the style. For the second collabora-tional EP, Rotate hand-picked two young artists that share a strong vision about music, how
it should be created and ultimately, experienced: Greece's Anestie Gomez, and Russia's Denis Kaznacheev.

Denis has succeeded in keeping us engaged with his imprint Nervmusic since 2009, showing us a steady catalog of releases that share a refined and minimalistic approach to dance
music, while Anestie is slowly but fiercely leaving his mark in the music world with a handful of releases and a quiet yet exquisite A&R work for several successful imprints.

Using each other's sounds to create new compositions, 'The Wieferich Pair' is about them both, and speaks for them both. 'Early Finish' is an addictive piece that utterly succeeds in
sucking you right in like a vortex. The marching bassline serves it's purpose of movement in a strong loopy groove intertwined by tight snares, while the pads and poltergeist'y sounds
reformat our heads with an inability for space-time tracking. The other side of this affair, 'Late Start', is all about the sleazy jazz dance moves. It's a microcosm of sparkling glitches
and vocal snippets, locked in a simple yet flowing bassline and a sea of shuffled hi-hats. A piano kicks in at key points, alongside percussive elements, adding some deepness to the a
already rich palette.

This is the world of Anestie and Denis as one. As playful as it is serious, this double tracker takes you to a place where you don't know if you're diving in ,or actually diving out. A sonic
rabbit hole of sorts, just like they intended. Hypnotic artwork and design by Max Binski, the current visual curator of Rotate.

Romanian duo Vinyl Speed Adjust return with the second instalment on their synonymously titled imprint, VSA Records.
With fellow Romanian duo 'Dubsons' composing the 'Perceptions' EP's A-side, 'Luci' follows a minimal soundscape groove, which exudes warm pads and dark fx, leading you through a spatial journey.
Meanwhile, label curators Vinyl Speed Adjust take control of the B side with another raw techno cut. Their signature percussive approach is fused with a killer bassline and a rhythmical groove, manifesting in a moody composition which is guaranteed to trip your mind.
