Techno Vinyl New Releases - News

Ellum Audio welcome a new name to their ranks for the label's first EP of 2017. That man is Barcelona based Raxon and he serves up a brace of brilliant tracks that prove he is a fast rising star.
Before now, Egyptian born Raxon has been based in Dubai, where he was resident at the Audio Tonic events. He has released on label including NM2 and Tronic and
has a release coming soon on Diynamic. From Creamfields to Watergate to ADE, he has played all over the world as well as guesting on John Digweed's Radio Show and is one of the Middle East's most prominent talents.
The steely and direct 'Majoris' goes first with its driving drums and slithering synth sounds. Building to a big energetic peak with plenty of effects and filters, it is futuristic and abstract and full of the sort of tension that makes Ellum Audio releases so high impact.
The stellar 'Sin Control' is much darker and more brooding, with a paranoid lead synth pinning you down as spaceship sounds and whirring machines gurgle all
around you. It is one to get heads down and feet stomping and makes for a brilliantly austere and intergalactic atmosphere.

Debut release from Spacetravel on Melliflow, an electronic music label based in Berlin, founded and curated by Vera & Alexandra.

Welcome little brother, or mezin, to the start of your new adventure with 'Ramane intre noi EP'. Constantly experimenting and evolving, the next logical step for Alin was creating an outlet to let loose some of his music; new, old, or in between. With early support from Petre Inspirescu, Rhadoo, Cezar or Sammy Dee, this little brother's journey is just beginning.

Berlin's own Marco Haas aka T.RAUMSCHMIERE made an irreparable impression globally in the 00's as a sawtoothed, ANTI-rave radical thanks to his immense stage antics and larger-than-life releases on Novamute. Since then, Haas has established himself as a contemporary with emotive, dark ambient tales on his own imprints Shitkatapult/Albumlabel.
KOMPAKT's love affair with Haas goes back to our earliest days. Some of his first tracks were released on KOMPAKT in the form of two raw EP's entitled "Bolzplatz" (KOM021 - 2000) and "Musick" (KOM037 2001). These two formative releases elevated the "Schaffel" sound to raw and shameless places we never could have imagined. The results set a tidal wave in motion that to this day remains one of KOMPAKT's most infamous legacies.
In an off-chance reunion with Haas in his studio, we learnt about what he'd been doing since the "Monstertruckdriver" days. It turned out he's been ever so busy outside of the mainstream working with the likes of Dieter Meier of Yello, Caspar Brötzmann, Andreas Dorau, Fraktus, Ofrin or Barbara Morgenstern and his recent work with Ulli Bomans aka Schieres under the SHRUBBN!! monicker.

On the way out, he passed over his 2015 self-titled album - which proceeded to blow our minds. It was mutually decided that it's time for him to return home.
May 19, 2017, will see KOMPAKT releasing T.RAUMSCHMIERE's new, epic solo full-length HEIMAT. It presents another side of his work which was always there, but never got that much airtime: the artist, the author, the composer with the crystal-clear sound. HEIMAT is a stunning techno album that neither excludes Ambient, nor gets reduced to constant ass kicking. It's perhaps the best recording so far from this man who asks so deeply, so extensively, so much. And at some point even answers.

STL on Smallville always means something special- fully-functional for the dancefloors worldwide but always poly-rhythmic, full of cryptic surprises and with the iconic STLtwist. You'll be caught within just a beat. Full Cover Artwork as always by Stefan Marx.

minimaler technostuff, der titel ist programm !!!

Mr.Rooge is back for the first time on Gosu showing that he isn´t only a skilled house/techno producer but also can go different ways experimenting with breaky electro-like styles to form the second installment on the label. He´s accompanied by
an yet unknown japanese technician named Dj Yue who is in charge to bring it back to funky techno terms with his remix contribution.

Italy's Donato Dozzy constructs nearly an hour of dense ambient fog & early morning techno for his mesmeric debut album 'K'. Initially only available as a limited edition cassette tape - that completely vanished within 48 hours of release - all 9 tracks are finally available on this luxury 2x12" vinyl package with professionally printed full colour silk screen artwork on a heavy stock chipboard jacket.

We are very proud to announce you the first wood imprint release, with these 4 minimal tracks, Gianluca Circosta has recreated the atmosphere of the afterparties, with simple sounds that capture the right vibes.

part 2 of 3 of the seq series

After delivering the FH05, label co-owner Pablo Tarno is back at the controls with the FH09. The A-side features the more clubby cuts, ranging from the broken beat and dramatic jazzy piano chords of Horizons' to the more driving house beat and playful synth melody of 'Gunkan'. The B-side is all about the laidback grooves, Bitchplease' is a heavy dubby bass affair with serene pads that will lighten any mood, while Preemo' brings back Pablo's deep trip hop roots, closing off the record with a classy slowed-down number.

The 2nd release on Youth comes from London artist Shamos. With Lyster having met Shamos through NTS it wasn't long before they were DJ'ing together around parties in London and Shamos began sharing music with him. Shamos, who last released on Funkinevens Apron label, comes with a heavy 4 tracker bringing the punkier dregs of new wave, dreamy abstract house and tripped out hardware jams, on limited red vinyl.

Somedate, the Weimar and EP - Auctor' by Max Goessler. The title track Auctor has an energetic bottom end which modulates into a screaming break being strong on the dancefloor. The B-Side starts off with Fabula, a dreamy early morning groover. Spherical pads and a staccato acidline lie on on top of triplet drum beat which blends nicely between electronic and acoustic drums. B2 is a live recoding of a modular synthesizer jam suited well as a DJ-Tool.

Record comes with coloured Speicher patch and high-quality insert plus download code card

Succeeding a recent run of much-acclaimed outings by stand-out artists such as Laurent Garnier (KOM EX 95), Kölsch (KOM EX 97 & 93) or Christian Nielsen & Locked Groove (KOM EX 96), our SPEICHER series hits the magical number 100 with its latest instalment, an action-packed double 12" pack that includes brand new belters by Kompakt trailblazers MICHAEL MAYER, JÖRG BURGER, JÜRGEN PAAPE and VOIGT & VOIGT.

The Speicher series actually has two birth dates: a first one in 1999, when a "Kompakt For Cisco" 12" special edition inadvertently created a new sub label with the rather pragmatically titled Kompakt Extra 001. Two years later, a Kompakt 12" sampler called "Speicher 1" introduced the name of the series that we know today - and a blueprint for idiosyncratic, powerful techno with clear dance floor ambitions.

MICHAEL MAYER was featured on both of these parent releases and also co-helmed the iconic Speicher 2 vinyl from 2002 (which brought us two essential Kompakt cuts with his own "Pride Is Weaker Than Love" and Reinhard Voigt's "Supertiel") - more than enough reasons to have him start off the celebratory 100th Speicher with a bang: LOUT sees Kompakt's label head engage in bold, synth-laden prime time techno and the kind of epic noise break that informed his earliest output as a producer and DJ. Kompakt stalwart JÖRG BURGER is another usual suspect when it comes to label classics, and his Speicher releases as The Modernist (KOM EX 28) or Burger Industries (KOM EX 16) mark early milestones in the series. His BEATMESSE PT.1 & 2 focusses on the atmospheric side of Speicher and presents a deep, mutable groover.

Meanwhile, JÜRGEN PAAPE's WHISPER ECHO and RODEO unearth the series' not-so-secret pop sensibilities - just as he did on Speicher 47 and Speicher 45 (featuring the notorious "Take That"). VOIGT & VOIGT complete this 2x12" vinyl series profile in style, thanks to moody shuffle bouncer LEISE and the raucous, spiky banger BUM BUM BAR (feat. Chris Trance) - it's a fitting conclusion to Speicher's 100th release, coming from the duo that made a habit out of dropping legendary techno jams, from founding bangers "Korn/Roxy" (KOM EX 3) and "Vision 03" (KOM EX 5) to the most recent Speicher 99.

180 Gramm Vinyl Only
The first installment of KUSI Records comes from David Nicolas, a very promising DJ and producer from Mannheim - Germany.

The new vinyl-only record label 'Modeight' continues to expand the influence of East European underground dance music. Silat Beksi is well known for his tracks that pump the best afterhours worldwide, and also for his plentiful creative collaborations.
Three tracks were prepared for the EP together with the immensely talented musician 'Durrrred' from Germany. 'Over' immerses us in a cold dark techno atmosphere. 'Afterglow' brings you out of the darkness so that you can see the infinite beauty of dawn at the sea. The elastic bass line of 'Inception' pulls you into the dense vibrations that captivate you and won't let you leave the dance floor.

RELIGIO thunders its fourth release by four of best artists in the Minimal and deep tech panorama.
Four club tunes for smashing walls like Totti's penalty kick!
Absolutely on vinyl only

Adroit Recordings is pleased to present the first EP from the famous Nordstern Club resident Artist, Gomorra. Already appeared a while ago on Be as one imprint from Shlomi Aber, and other Labels. He offer four original tracks with a defined and underground sound.

Delude Records presents their thirteen vinyl only release called Brainwash by the austrian producer GZI. The original track is a fast straight techno track with many electric vibes, like a Brainwash. He will be supported with remixes by the artists Patrick Arbez Sven Sossong and Tom Almex.

Inspired by the early white label house music releases.

Vinyl only, limited copies, no digital promotion.

u.dig presents their first release from Mariano Mateljan providing 2 modern minimal house cutz

Here we are with the first Release on Adroit Recordings.  Zurich based Label, founded by different guys, born to give space to the underground Music. Herewith we present our first Ep produced from one of the Label Owners Sam Angelo aka Saime. He presents three original tracks with a Underground and aggressive sound plus one remixes from Isolated Lines.

Ukrainian producer Vakula, whose name is linked to the early days of Arma, re-emerges with Techno Game.

With almost 50 digital releases in the space of 8 years, it's about time we gave the vinyl junkies what they want: Lazerslut on wax. An intense studio period recently took place and the three originals on this release come straight from the obscure soul of Miro, a genius mind backed by two decades worth of music production experience. The EP comes topped with a remix by Troy Pierce.

A1: I Believe In You is unerringly THE Pajic-sound! On a tight groovin' bass line, the low sneaking voice babbles on a bubbling background until a nasty squeak makes the track go mad.

A2: Ghetto Haus has nothing to do with today's G-House movement. It's Miro's definition of a loopy voice cut, grazing on a seemingly endless cheep with a dirty bass to match.

On the B-Side, Troy Pierce delivers a masterful slice of weirdness with the Jak Da Beat Remix of I Believe In You. The Items&Things producer induces mysterious spaces on a beat full of suspense, creating an ideal backdrop for those more special experiences.

Last but not least, See The Stars shows once again how tight rhythms can be. Shuffled hats and well-directed bass stabs create the flow for a trippy, grinding voice - very sexy. Not one to be missed!

Tensei Records is a new project emerging from the undergound scene of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Pikun & Salah Deux join forces and deliver Are Hara, the first release of the label. A blend of organic, hypnotic percussion and abstract synthesizers. A unique combination of grooves and controlled atmospheres.

Volupso 6 is from Italy and delivered by Riccardo Rizza, 2 groovy tech house tracks, perfectly fitting for the dancefloor, accompanied by a remix on the flipside from Alex Celler who delivers his Eprone Dub Version. Enjoy xx

RELIGIO is glad to present the first VA series of the label rigorosely on Vinyl only.

A side is from Lillo and Fulvio Ruffert & Gregorio Serasin, both Minimal and deep tunes, Lillo's track is more big deep bass and bouncy instead the creature from Fulvio and his mate is focused on the mesmering soundscapes and deep dub melodies..

B side is from FNR and Kitkalt the FNR tune is very organic and sexy and from his kind of producing very analog stuff taste, Kitkalt delivers a more techy track, dark and shiny at the same time, a tune for smashing the dance floor..

A good VA for RELIGIO a black wax for all kind of situation!

"With its HQ in rural Germany - Rockets & Ponies is a coterie for the outsiders - those 'too strange for the normal business' with an ethos that fosters freedom of expression, experimentation and an avant-garde approach.

So who better to present a remix package of works by Jazz luminary Wolfgang Haffner that includes Ricardo Villalobos & Max Loderbauer, Nightmares on Wax, and label padrone Timo Maas.

'Prolific' doesn't quite cover Haffner's creative output. With a career that spans over 30 years beginning in the German and French Jazz Ensemble and moving on to collaborative works with the likes of Chaka Khan, Bill Evans and Roy Ayres Haffner has appeared on over 350 recordings.

The selected material within this package is taken from his latest album 'Heart Of The Matter' released through The ACT Company in 2013 - 'Bing' and 'Luna' are twisted, stretched and reformed by the eminently prestigious roster of remixers.

First in is Ricardo Villalobos - an exalted genius and champion of freedom of expression with previous releases on Perlon, Playhouse, Cadenza and Cocoon who pairs up with regular studio partner Max Loderbauer for a wonderfully elongated, no-holds-barred dissections of 'Bing'.

Loderbauer himself, as a master of audio design, injects experience assimilated from sharing his studio with Tobias Freund and together the pair opt for their regular method of developing tracks on modular machines using no overdubbing or multitrack mixing.

On the flip, who better to offer an alternative take on 'Luna' than Rockets & Ponies co-founder Timo Maas. Following up his 'Lifer' LP and his 'Tantra' and 'Articulation' EPs, Maas steps in with his brash and physical reworking of 'Luna' that he creatively re-images into a billowing beast.

In doing so he further substantiates his own left-field productions and indeed, Rockets & Ponies is an entirely unique and creative experiment capable of producing incredible results."

Finally, previous collaborator with Haffner himself, Nightmares on Wax steps in with a typically balmy, Rhodes-heavy revision of 'Luna'. The longest ever serving artist on Warp Records opts for signature dosages of Dub, Soul and Jazz that he's perfected and refined over his long and illustrious career.'

Caldera made his Cassette Library debut on this summer's Various Artist release - We Are Family Vol.3 - with the excellent and well received Techon 2L'. He's back with a full EP's worth of trax that are better than your average. In fact, they're 134% OK. OK

For the second Bad Barbie Records vinyl release of 2016 we are more than exited to bring you the magnificent work from the Bla Bla Music owner Daniel Sanchez with his Impromptu EP. Here we have four amazing pieces where each one tells a different history. The first one Pearled Into Droplets saw the light after a great Live Jam and the result is combination of several layers of base elements with subtle minimalistic articulations. These, in combination of the bass and synths lines do create a truly amazing micro house piece. The second one Vague, is an atmospheric dub were a single synth chord raises in slowly, followed by a very subtle kick and bass line to set a bit of rhythm to the whole thing, creating a superb dreamy vibe while the chords do their thing with delicate reverbs and delays in the backend. A great musical piece indeed. For the third track we have Yi, again another amazing micro house jewel born from a Live Jam, but this one is even more energetic than the first one and it also includes, besides a rocking bass line, analog synth chords that lifts up the mood during specific moments, which also do their part articulating themselves perfectly with some occasional twisted vocals that helps create an amazing party vibe from beginning to end. And if this wasn't enough we also have Bedroom Stories vocal tool that Daniel included with his delivery, which can help spice up a DJ set with ease.

Phaenomena EP is the second release of our Kommuna Tapes imprint. The first side starts with a track produced by Tom Ellis over a decade ago that has been one of our secret weapons for many years. Barbir and Nicola Kazimir from Les Points take us on a faster paced, electroish trip. On the flip side, we are introducing an upcoming Zürich talent - Adva - with two cuts between ambient, dub and minimal. Track by track, we build a Kommuna of artists who share our insatiable appetite for music discovery, guided by a certain vision of the dancefloor: deep stripped-down grooves, sometimes challenging, always with character.Limited vinyl & tape label. Based in Barcelona, curated by CMYK & Rubi.

Late April will see Decay Records return with a new release from Hector, entitled the
'Womb' EP and accompanied by remixes from The Mole and Dan Farserelli.

Mexican producer and DJ Hector's career has been on a meteoric rise for some time now with his material being snapped up for many leading imprints in the industry such as Leftroom, Tsuba, Desolat and Mobilee. The Barcelona based artist also maintains a heavy touring schedule taking him across the globe to hot spots across Europe and the United States and recently launched his own VL Recordings imprint to critical acclaim, here though we see him back on the rising Decay Records imprint out of the UK with some fresh new material.

Up first is the original mix of 'Womb' which takes on a slowly brooding percussive feel via murky drum hits, thundering sub bass tones, swirling vocal murmurs and bubbling dub echoes. The Mole steps up to rework 'Womb' next and typical fashion the Canadian artist delivers an entirely unique take on things with atmospheric field recordings, intricately evolving synth layers, crunchy percussion and the originals infectious sub bass hook making for a refreshing listen.

Londoner Dan Farserelli reshapes 'Womb' next, taking things in a slightly different direction with swinging low-slung drums, snaking sub bass grooves and hypnotic chords fluttering away in the
depths of the record. Lastly to round off the package is Hector's second original 'Da Morning After', which as the name would suggest takes on a hypnotic after hours feels with ethereal pad swells and a raw rhythmic drive.
