Mosaic's journey into main room techno continues with three trax from one of the finest exponents of uncompromising hypnotic techno, markus Suckut.It has been said that his reduced and minimal sound is designed for heavyweight soundsystems and heavyweight DJ's and we wouldn't disagree..
Slowly evolving rhythmic and melodic patterns with sub heavy kicks and bass tones are the order of the day: These three cuts beg to be played LOUD! The ep will be Limited to 500 copies and pressed on beautiful 180g white vinyl with a special collectors sleeve

With a firm nod to the community, revered Techno aficionado, Roberto reveals the launch of his new record label, Fossil Archive and its first release 'Prolecanites Gurleyi'.

Roberto has already built quite the discography with previous releases on Fachwerk, Affin, Artform and Be As One, as well as establishing himself as a DJ with gigs at the likes of fabric, Berghain and Tresor (listen to his latest Tresor set here https://soundcloud.com/robertodj/jaunt-podcast-ep86-roberto) and recently took time out from his busy schedule to talk to Marcus Barnes for The Independent's blog http://blogs.independent.co.uk/2014/11/11/techno-artist-roberto-on-his-double-life/

Now, as we hurtle inexorably towards the end of the year, a new kind of Techno is starting to emerge as the soundtrack for a generation and Fossil Archive has found itself at the forefront of this celebration.

"I come from a background where most releases were traditionally cut at 45rpm, with one track per side on a 12-inch record", says Roberto. "The music always sounded great, as it was mastered and cut to its highest potential. Increasingly these days there seems to be a trend where a lot of labels are squeezing a number of tracks on to each side of a 12-inch record. I want to go against that and make sure the music is presented in the purest way possible by cutting one track per side at 45rpm. The label will release primarily vinyl, although digital versions will also be available to purchase.'

Stripped of that cheery outlook that can characterise a pop song, 'Prolecanites Gurleyi' replaces it with a life-affirming rhythm, driving home a groove designed for those with an acute interest to intonation and audibility. The most observant will notice the subtleties and feel the tonal influence energise dance floors and hasten interest.

A definitive curation of deep, four on the floor with a clean cut approach to its percussive soundscape, each frequency is given the space and time needed to help advance an alive

This is a new record that came recommended to us by some close friends in Detroit.
Killer techno that's primed for club use from a label and producer whose roots lie in the city.

Another new face graces the halls of Soma's roster as American based Techno artist Jeff Derringer make a blistering debut with Panic. Jeff weighs in with 2 top-notch hypnotic Techno tracks and we also welcome a debut on Soma from the incomparable Mike Parker who whips up his usual storm of sound on his remix of title track Panic.

Not time is wasted as the EP open with all guns blazing. Staccato synth hooks loop out of control as buzzing percussion fuels the fire within this track. Bent out bass and sub aquatic pings keep this track rooted in the depths of unrelenting Techno.

Fellow American Mike Parker follows up Jeff's onslaught with his completely unique version of Techno. A solid 909 kick is warped beyond reality with looped out, frenzied synths that only Mike seems to be able to control. Percussive blips give rise to Mike's intentions within this remix as his keeps it dark, hypnotic and turbulent.

Panic Attack closes the EP with a little lighter edge as big chords permeate thunderous low end and dubbed out percussion. Building slowly, Jeff creates the perfect tension needed to deliver the goods and a subtle break in the flow gives rise to a devastatingly effective deep techno track.

Soma are proud to welcome an already well established artist to the roster and one that fits perfectly with the new drive of the label.

Two fresh new fast paced, dance floor, Dj friendly tracks from label cohorts Gareth Wild, Dax J and Chris Stanford. Remix work comes in the form of
a big room, atmospheric version of Moonraker by Berghain and Panorama Bar's Ryan Elliott as well as the 'Vengeance' remix of Engineers' Revenge from Mexico's Luis Flores.

With this release our closest astral object, The Moon takes centre stage with menacing effect. Vinyl only release available from all good outlets.

it zahlreichen 12' Veröffentlichungen auf Ostgut Ton hat Marcel Fengler bereits sein Talent in der Produktion von kühnem, schwungvollem und atmosphärischem Techno demonstriert. Nachdem er mit der vielseitigen - Berghain 05' Mix-CD Einblicke in sein Gedankengut als DJ gewährte, geht er nun das Albumformat an, indem er seine Ansicht der elektronischen Musik aus einem weiteren Blickwinkel erkundet.
- Fokus' ist mit elf abwechslungs- und detailreichen Tracks das Produkt, welches innerhalb dreier intensiver Monate in dem Berliner Studio von Fengler entstand. Das Klangkonzept für sein Album, die seine Liebe für ausgefallene Elektronik, abstrakte Melodien, brachiale Strukturen und ergreifende Bassfrequenzen darstellt, - ist das Resultat eines sorgfältig erlesenes und intensives Hörerlebnis.
Von den umwölkenden Flächen der Anfangsmomente von - Mayria' und dem einleitenden - Break Through' (einer von zwei Tracks, die exklusiv auf der CD-Version zu finden sind), bauen sich mitreißende Syntheseebenen, mysteriöse Gesangselemente und einkreisende Schichten kinetischer Energie auf.

Soma welcome in 2014 in style with a fantastic new single from Roberto Clementi backed by a more than stomping Par Grindvik rework of title track 'When You'. Clementi has had a successful start to his career as a Soma artist. His unique take on deep, melodic techno fused with aspects of electronica and dub has earned his a place as one of our top new artists of recent years. As we work toward the release of his debut album this summer, Robert brings 2 choice cuts from a bank of extremely well produced music.

Sweden's Par Grindvik opens up the EP as he brings us his take on Clementi's 'When You. Park is known for his old school techno and this remix is no different to his usual output of quality music. Deep and hypnotic Par strips Clementi's original down and builds it back up into a dance floor monster!

The original mix of 'When You' follows and is perfectly true to Clementi's style. Bouncing, rhythmic percussion set atop emotive and sweeping electronics yet still driving and designed for definite toe tapping. Splashes of vocoder enhanced speech make this track trip out even more and Roberto uses each element perfectly to allow the track to pulse and flow.

Lei rounds things off on a decidedly dubby/jazzy note. Broken and trippy beats give way to delicate percussion and deep sub bass, giving this track a fantastic groove. Roberto shows his grasp of melody perfectly and fluttering, jazzy keys spring to life offering a more contemplative mood. One of his great talents is being able to make tracks that slot nicely into the realms of pre and post clubbing and this fits that description to a tee.

With his debut album en route, Roberto gives us a quick glance into his vast musical talent creating unique moods from deep emotive music.

Enigmatic producer makes his Argot debut following 4 scene-stealing, acid-fed EPs via Hard Wax. Focusing on meticulous percussion work w/judicious use of delay & reverb, it manages to be his most DJ-friendly record to date.

Myles is back with the 5th installment in the (MS) series, this time on a more house vibe with "Can't Shake This Feelin'". Myles teamed up with Philadelphia soul-man and "Mega Jawns" vocalist Will Brock to deliver this soulful (MS) groove. And for added support the legendary Rennie Foster delivers a beautiful remix.

Following the success of volume 1 of their remix series, (featuring Octave One's seminal tracks "Meridian" and "Dema"), the label prepares to release remixes of Octave One's debut, from Derrick May's Transmat imprint, "I Believe" and O1's momumental release from the Underground Resistance/430 West Records limited record "Daystar Rising".

Anstam, der dieses Jahr noch Moderat in Europa und Atoms For Peace in Asien live supporten wird, liefert zwei neue Remixes ab: sein Remix der zweiten Moderat-Single "Gita" zeigt Anstam von seiner poppigen Seite, während die Arbeit für seinen Buddy Siriusmo den 4/4 Takt auf Anstams ureigener Art und Weise erforscht.

Weekend Circuit return for the second release of the year, this time welcoming London based debutee Rommek to the imprint, with two suitably noteworthy remixes to accompany the 12'. Delivering 2 cuts of his individual brand of weighty atmospheric Techno, Rommek's first ever EP, 'Thought Patterns' is a sign of promising things to come.

After stand out releases on Modularz and her own label Grey Report, Adriana Lopez is a noticeably welcome edition as she delivers a stripped down take on the title track. 'Thought Patterns' gets another deep interpretation from The Plant Worker on the flip, who's recent works haven't gone un-noticed.

Early support from Oscar Mulero, Developer, Jonas Kopp, Cassegrain & more.

Myles Serg. is a DJ, musician and recording artist who has released on a vast swathe of labels that as well as Metamorphic, also includes FEROX, Caduceus, Knotweed, Ilian Tape, Sweatshop, Night Drive Music, Thema, Pushmaster Disc and his own imprints (MS), RE(FORM), Space, (MS), and Dosed Recordings. He describes himself as a reclusive perfectionist', whose haunting production sound reflects influences from early Detroit and Chicago electronic music. But Myles has a style of his own that blurs the lines between techno and house. With his first introduction to techno back in the late 80's he has continued to nurture his love for electronic music by DJing and producing, while more recently he also teamed up with long time friend and mentor Donnell Knox (D-Knox from Sonic Mind) to create Såure Music Distribution.

Delsin are proud to present, Sides of Space, a collection of classic, lost and forgotten tracks from atmospheric techno producer D5. The 12 track, triple vinyl affair will land in November in both regular and limited edition forms. D5 has released a number of fine EPs on Delsin that date back to the turn of the millennium, as well as a fine full length in 2002 entitled 'Alien Artform'. The tracks on this new compilation have been chosen from old CDRs by label boss Marsel and truly reflect the artist formerly known as Dimensions 5's fine tradition of relaxing chilled out, Detroit influenced techno. His most classic track, 'Floatation Tank' (which was a standout from the 2005 Panet Delsin compilation) as well as all cuts from the sought after Neutrino EP, are included here, and still sound as good now as they ever did. In all there are seven previously released tracks as well as five brand new, never before heard cuts, and they all make for absorbing listening both in the club, on headphones or from the sofa.

The remains of the Horsemans severed head are no where to be found so he has returned to Sleepy Hollow for vengeance.
In 'Execution' you can hear his sword tear through the last human souls who were brave enough to step out side of their homes in the pitch black darkness.
The Headless Horsemans 'Legend' has now been born in the neighboring villages but there was one survivor on his third attack. That was a gentleman named Ancient Methods, who showed his courage and strength so the Horseman decided to let him live in return for his shield containing markings of times before his.

Following in the footsteps of Sawlin and Yan Cook last year, Ann Aimee has readied its next release. This one comes from UK tastemaker and Radio 1 presenter Mosca, and is his first release of the year after previous releases on labels like Martyn's 3024 and Hypercolour.
First up is 'It's Not What It Looks Like' - a hunched over, industrial tinged house groove with rattling percussion and a heavy kick drum. Fully of grainy textures and clanging machines, the whole thing is backlit with serene pads and smeared with deft synth patterns. 'Kneecap' is even more direct, with tiny little off kilter chords bringing a sense of paranoia to the barrelling beats and bristling percussion. It's muscular and heavy yet inviting, whilst final offering 'Press Up' is a beautifully swung bit of deep and atmospheric house - all the edges are nicely frayed and the whole thing is smoothed over with misty textures as the barrelled-up sense of funk grows more and more lively as things progress. It's been a while since we heard from Mosca, but this one sure was worth the wait.
As always with this lovingly crafted label, the EP comes with full cover artwork by Boris Tellegen.

Limited Edition, 1 sided release with the lost D side of Deepchord's now classic "Electro Magnetic Dowsing" originaly appeared as 3 different 12' singles (side a, b, c) on Mike Huckaby's revered S Y N T H imprint out of Detroit. Played by RIcardo Villalobos, Richie Hawtin, Omar S to Laurent Garnier. An absolute MUST for the heads!

Strictly Limited Pressing

With the launch of his White Material label in New York 2012, Dj Richard started releasing a line of the most stunning works by Galcher Lustwerk, Young Male, Morgan Louis and himself.
Alongside a collaboration with Carsten Jost for the Lawrence "Films And Windows Remixes" the Dial Records crew deeply fell in love with the works of Dj Richard and vice versa the request to release his debut album here caused enthusiastic encounter.
After his contribution for Dial's 15 Years compilation and almost two years of production, it is here: Dj Richard - Grind ! A tribute to what contemporary club music and enthusiastic sound experiments should be about: exaltation and addiction. This is what Dj Richard's club sets feel like- an incredible sound seduction, another dimension- Grind might be the essence of it all.

Split EP to celebrate CLFT's fourth release. A collaboration between Germany's Thomas Hessler (Graphene, Krill Music) and Samuli Kemppi (M_Rec, Komisch, Balans, Mote-Evolver, Chronicle), each artist providing two original tracks.

This summer seems to be the return of Fabrice Lig with his album on Fine Art, 12'' on R&S and this great Third Ear release with remixes by... Remixes from Underground Resistance Timeline (Mike Banks and Jon Dixon), Luke Slater, Marco Passarani and Fluxion!

New Analog Response 12" vinyl output has been composed by the italian artist Hydergine, a young guy clearly inspired by Basic Channel / Maurizio dub techno sounds, and a wide range of influences in the house/techno/bass fields.
After practicing in music production for years, he first released a 12" on the german label Separate Skills which rapidly sold out, leaving a strong mark in the dub-tech scene.
Recently, the austrian label Phlox showed another fine Hydergine release on translucent blue 12" vinyl,matching the taste of big names like Francois Kevorkian, Laurent Garnier, Brendon Moeller, Kirk Degiorgio, Anton Zap, Terry Francis, Roman Fluegel, Ethyl, Slam, Franklin De Costa, John Osborn and more.

The classic KB's Groove gets a re release from Initials with 2 new mixes including Kris Wadsworth's epic 10 minute 'A love letter to dance music'

Mit dem neuen Songwriting- und Produktionsansatz legt die 40-jährige Steffi treffsicher nach. Auf Power Of Anonymity stehen lässige, melodische Stücke wie - Pip', - Fine Friend' und das breaklastige Titelstück neben geraden, hypnotischen Tanzflächentracks wie - Selfhood', - Bag Of Crystals', - JBW25' und - Bang For Your Buck'. Abgesehen von den Solo-Instrumental-Stücken sticht Steffis Kollaboration mit ihren langjährigen Freunden Dexter und Virginia - das erhebende, perkussive Vocal-Stück - Treasure Seeking' - als wahres Sahnehäubchen heraus.

Genau wie - Power Of Anonymity' als einzelnes Musikstück lebt das Album als Ganzes von einer Industrial-nachhallenden Struktur aus 808s, spitzen Synth-Stichen, pulsierenden Staccati und düsteren, perkussiven Drumbeats. Mit ihrem zweiten Studioalbum erinnert Steffi an klassischen, bahnbrechenden Detroit Electro während sie gleichzeitig ihren ganz eigenen, modernen und retro-futuristischen Klang entwirft.

SUPER LIMITED. Sorry we can only supply v limited quantities.

The second of two remix EPs for Max Cooper's debut album Human - this one bringing one of the album's most talked about tracks Impacts for the first time, with an acid rework by Pitchfork favourites Factory Floor and Perc's insane, obtuse and uncompromising abstract version. This is also the first release of Harvey McKay's version of an earlier Max track, Von der Klippe Fallen - one long grinding techno beat that opens to the dramatic piano of frequent Max's collaborator Tom Hodge.

Amsterdam's Indigo Aera label is back with part four of their Lost Archives series. The EP features two tracks, one by Befomo and one by label bosses Jasper Wolff and Maarten Mittendorff.

Befomo is a moniker used once only by Rotterdam's Benny Rodrigues, for an album of tracks that he produced some years ago called If One Day This Seems To Be The End. It was a personal project dedicated to his father, which was supposed to remain unreleased. However, following an email conversation with Derrick May, one of the tracks from the album is getting a release here. 'Hugs From The D', a broken drum based deep space funk with celestial pads circling round a jostling drum beat. It's an uplifting, intergalactic bit of music that has real soul at its core.

The flip side is 'Symmetrical', a track by Jasper Wolff & Maarten Mittendorff. This one is a seriously fast paced bit of supple and succulent techno with fantastic cymbal work, plenty of slap funk in the percussion and swathes of warming, dubbed out reverb. Once again then, two very special cuts from the Indigo Aera label.

Altren For SA017 Kangding Ray brings an EP defined by dexterity: Tempered Inmid. It is a record which balances the deepest drum with the most celestial synth, weaving a legend of both menace and tenderness. Possessed of an underlying hiss, the title track surges to dampen its muscular beat with a fabric of warm melodies. The discerning 'Dimien Andesso' is the Tempered's partner, shuffling with a considered high-end and off-kilter pads. On the flip KR ramps up the pace in introducing the mendacious thumps of 'Nuis Octury', which he twists into a fever. But emblematically KR once more tempers. Closer 'Ezerb Altren' conjures the image and emotion of an underground lake: depth, resonance, and total, glacial serenity.

Dutch producer Ekman's four track Entropy EP, new on Will Bankhead's label.

Gwen Torino is kinda weird and brings some distorted music. Twisted, psychedelic science fiction jams with a small portion of acid.

Scuba continues his Phenix series with a second installment entirely devoid of the euphoric hallmarks of the Personality era but missing none of the familiar attitude. No trace of vocals, feel-good chords or retro kicks, no real concern for the hour or room, Phenix 2 is instead teeming with mood and spirit.

From the underwater tones of opener, 'Aphids', through the hedonist techno grit of 'Choke' and 'Solitary Confinement', to the free indirect dissonance that is 'Distance', on Phenix 2 we see Scuba at his most impenitent. Cocksure improvisation, heads-down escapism and ardor in restraint are all at play on a record that manages to sound distinct from what came before it, yet all the while one which bears an unmistakable signature.
