Techno Vinyl New Releases - News

Italian based producer Roberto Clementi. A warm, analogue dub house feeling immediately rolls through his tracks with deep, techno orientated sub bass permeating layers or rich synth work and crisp evolving percussion. Having previously released on NY based producer Brendon Moeller s Steadfast Records, Roberto continues down the path to sonic delight with 4 tracks forged in the underground.

Preceding a full length album on 4lux, Ka§par showcases his amazing talents on this second EP for 4lux. The portuguese producer comes with some of the most interesting dance music around. Got Good Love is a tough Deep House groover that comes as both original and with a Nicholas remix. Cruising Andromeda is a futuristic techno tune for forward thinking deejay's. On Hyphen Ka§par slows down the pace and tosses in some 707 action: a crazy ride with rough synths and spaced out effects. Ka§par's releases have become rare and sought after, releasing little more than one 12'' a year in the recent past... when one listens to the result, it only proves how great things take their time.

The Dimension EP can be seen as a veritable coup from the Sect label, as iconic Dutch techno artist Jeroen Search makes his label debut with some typically wall rattling techno functionalism. Able to flaunt a discography that reaches deep into the early nineties with releases across Mills' Axis imprint, M_Rec LTD, Traut and more, Search's tireless energy for one take productions has seen him at his most productive this year and as always his tracks still retain a finely sculpted feel regardless of his preferred approach. Swiftly spiralling undercurrents of analogue acid merge in synchronicity with the tightly wound drums to provide one relentlessly driven groove on "Paralell Lives" with intermittent ascendant hat rolls and subaqueous keys worthy of the Something In The Sky series only serving to further hypnotise your senses. Complementing this, "Section A" is gruff Fachwerk style concrete techno at its finest and "Inverse" demonstrates Search's ease for producing well crafted minimalism.

We are pleased to announce 'Nite Jam', Xosar's follow up single to her 'Ghosthaus' release which we released at the start of 2012 on RH...TIP!
With 'Nite Jam' and 'Elixir Of Dreams' she continues to explore the boundaries of the self-dubbed ghost house genre. And ghostly it is. Late night occult tinged music for the after midnight freaks and sunshine shy infidels. A descendant from a Bengali aerospace engineer and Cherokee psychic, she was born in San Jose California, raised in San Francisco and is now residing in a quiet seaside village on the North Sea. Here she spends most of her time wandering through dark forests, channeling the energy of nature and primal forces contained within symbols, and using these energies to produce a sensual and exotic blend of deep Detroit-style techno and leftfield ghost house.

Having released two of this tracks on early Transmat compilation CD's, the other six unreleased tracks are carefully mined from Louis' archive of 15 to 20 years old. Mastered By Helmut Erler at Dubplates. Limited to 377 Copies.
Louis Haiman's music is a balance of gentle synth arrangements swimming atop a sea of low-end frequencies. Ambient soundscapes drift among layer after layer of meandering melodies while deep, syncopated rhythms and bass keep listeners grounded.

Continuing the success of Ben Sims and Kirk Degiorgio's joint project Machine - a clubnight which focuses on new, unreleased, & upfront music; it's primary home in London, but with editions all across Europe each year - Ben & Kirk set out their stall with the debut release of their new imprint of the same name. Kirk's "Machine Theme" slips into deep & melodic grounds, while Ben's "Metalworks" brings a harder, dead-of-night techno feel. Sims also lends his remixing skills and provides a tougher examination of "Machine Theme"

Chicago's Steven Tang (Emphasis) with four brand new tracks, with Tang's unique trademark blend of raw jacking Chicago beats and Detroit-inspired atmospheres. One of the few contemporary techno artists that truly delivers music for both body and soul... Hot release!

The twenty third release from Needwant is a stellar EP by rising star EJECA. The Horizon EP explores the realms of modern electronic music, blending and progressing through styles from deep house to 2-step and garage.
This year has seen Ejeca team up with fellow Irishmen Bicep to release one of the standout tracks of the summer, 'You' on Will Saul's Aus Music as well as hot appearances on on labels such as Saints & Sonnets, Future Classic and Kolour.
The title track 'Horizons' is a perfect slice of modern house with some classic flavours. 90's organ sounds alongside resonant synths, subby bouncing bass and a rhythmic female vocal give the track its nice mix of contemporary and classic. This one is destined for the summer dance floor.
On the B-side. 'Dazed' crosses into deeper territory. The track opens into a sporadic array of synths and clipped vocals while maintaining the swinging rhythm underneath. Down tempo grooves, a sharp kick and warm garage bassline make this a great, laid back summery track.
'See Through You' keeps it deep and rounds off the EP with warm, murky synths, a bouncing bass line and skipping, pacey percussion.
Somewhere between the deepness of Ethyl and bumping of Bashmore, EJECA's diverse productions are proving a potent strain of the UK's young breed of forwardthinking music. With this knock out 'Horizons EP' on Needwant, EJECA's sound is set to resonate even more strongly.

After the success of Signal Code records first two 12" from Subsignal comes their installment from The Parallel. Classic Detroit Techno for the purists. Four powerful cuts of synth laden Detroit movers. A solid ep from one of Ireland finest producers.
Strong support from... A Made Up Sound, Steffi, Dave Clarke (who played 'Interface' on his White noize radio show) Horizontal Ground, Brendon Moeller, Samuli Kemppi, Inigo Kennedy, Rob Hall, Gregor Treshor, Kirk Degiorgio, Marcel Hesse, Tea and Techno, Victor Martinez....

The new ORNAMENTS presents one of the best remixes by Marko Fürstenberg which are published the first time on vinyl.

Synonymous with Detroit, Techno, and Tresor, Scan 7 have remained protagonists of the Berlin-Detroit axis since it was first forged in the sweaty obsidian of the club's original Wertheim vault home. Now, over 20 years later, the masked techno collective pay tribute to the triptych's matted histories on 'The Resistance EP'.
With identifiable nods to Scan 7's Underground Resistance affiliations - the label that launched the group, and whose militaristic and political philosophies can be found littered throughout their discography - the EP begins with quintessential Detroit strings and groove before delving into darker techno territory. On the A-side, "The Resistance" offers an uplifting and delightfully nostalgic jaunt through dance music past, using all those favourite and immortal house tropes to deliver instant gratification. Meanwhile, the B-side shows off Scan 7 as masters of warm, yet shadowy techno - plus their trademark drum work - in the hypnotic "Why Not" and driving, basement-ready "In & Out Of The Groove".

A departure from astral electronics after releases on 100% Silk, No Age's PPM, remixes for Blondes & Scion AV. Digging into dancefloors, combining 4-on-the-floor grit w/ethereal synth sounds, think "pop acid", for this stuff surely is catchy.

Ibex is no more, so Tony launches NSD w/4 tracks that harken back to the late 80s, which may be appropriate, as that is when he started. Analogue bounce, acid, 707 & 727 sounds are all tweaked on this futurist look at the past.

Label boss sticks tongue in cheek & heads for the big room. Imagine Kraftwerk, Farley Keith & Daft Punk in a bar room brawl, then make up over an MPC 60 & a bag of Sour diesel

Perc is back on Sleaze Records after the success of his Wicker & Steel album on Perc Trax last year. We now introduce his latest work in the shape of Pure & Simple, which is a massive acid techno track! It's great to welcome Ben Sims on remix duties for this one! Ben has been in splendid form production wise recently, with big releases on Drumcode & Theory most notably. The final remix is by German producer Sawlin, who releases regularly on labels like Vault Series & Ann Aimee!

Finnish techno producer Samuli Kemppi returns to Komisch for his third release.
Leading the charge against malfunctioning computer systems and faceless corporations on this killer three-track EP is 'Escape'. A surging, rippling bassline and heavy claps provide the basis for insistent bleeps and a surging, enveloping chord sequence that dispells even the most malevolent enemy.
Next up is 'Hostile', which follows a similar approach. Clipped drums and hissing percussion are mixed with an acid-spiked bassline and a sinister synth riff. It's a more sinister take on Samuli's big room techno and is sure to appeal to those who like it darker and deeper. The EP ends with 'System'. Kemppi's razor sharp percussion and tough beats are audible once again as he juggles bubbling acid bass licks with frequency-shifting tones and eerie synth riffs.
Let 'Quadrant' help you escape the mundane realities of every day life!

Euphonic Moods ep by Brett Dancer. His first release on Track Mode since 2006, and nothing but deepness on this slice of vinyl. V2 forces the boundaries of tech and house as it builds to climax, atmospheric bliss with this! Space is simply rhythmatic integration, beats and chords, driving bass, get ready to move. The lost is very reminiscing of the early 90's groove with a millennium twist, bouncing bass melodic chords, call and response vocals, end result classic

This 4 track sampler from Heckle's award winning album features cuts that were not previously on vinyl. Includes ''ONE'S SELF'' and ''I&I'' on the A-side while the flip holds ''FLY CITY'' and the amazing ''ANALOG BULLDOG''. Essential house.

the time has come that berlin based techno producer and dj FRANK MULLER launch
his new label MAD MUSICIAN. These days it requires some kind of madness to
devote your live to music. But we are not mad entirely, We are the geeks, the
gear nerds, the outcasted studio freaks who just heard about daylight.
following a string of eps and remixes as his alter ego beroshima, the launch
of his new label as Frank Muller was long overdue to focus on the new
platform. it continues to break the stylistic frame defined by the market and
yet manages to surpass the expectations set by these skilfully crafted
productions. MAD MUSICIAN defy genre boundaries and incorporate a wide range
of sonic colours. merging detroit influenced berlin techno with any kind of
genre. Exploring the electronic galaxy to invite other true musicians to join
the mission and to cooperate, remix and to release the stuff we like.
The first invited MAD MUSICIAN is none less than lord KIRK DEGIORGIO who
recently released some awesome stuff on RUSH HOUR and PLANET E...
Are u mad enough

After three Creepy Autograph releases in 2008, Valentine Connexion returns with a five track EP from the little known artist The Abstract Eye. Five brilliant, analog techno tracks, which keep the spirit of original Detroit techno alive. It really leaves us breathless. Beautiful stuff! For fans of Dopplereffekt, Drexciya et al.

Anonymous techno 12" from Bristol

This is blueform, a sublabel of melted recordings, with it's first release - made by Random Audio. In order to assort different variations of techno blueform was founded as the first official sublabel of melted recordings, although small labels aside of melted were started so far. Blueform stands for real classic detroit techno as we know and love it for many years. Very famous protagonists, especially from the US formed this spacy, retro-futuristic and/or chordish sound - a special state of mind. Random Audio reflects these characteristics with his tracks of the hologram EP. He is an important part of the futuredraht community, he has produced many tracks of various styles - mostly (but not only) techno - and even now he had just his second track on melted recordings under another alias, this is his first own (vinyl | digitally worldwide distributed) release. The first track "Fourier Transmatica" brings us back with a pulsating sound into the late nineties of detroit techno. The chords, melodies and pads in "Downtown" fit exactly to the sound of "the motor city". "The Model" goes right into the science fiction side of techno using creaky blips and old string sounds and finally "The Mask" seems to build itself up with bubbling tones again and again. Watch out for the next big release of Random Audio very soon!

Espania fast becoming the Techno Capital of Europe! Slight exageration perhaps, but maybe those days won't be too far away. The Transhuman label bursts onto the scene with a very impressive 5 track EP from Arcanoid and the Transhumans.

Jack Playmobil operates from the mystic gravel pit of Antwerp, Belgium. Hungry Soul has obtained superpowers by fighting in the graveyard of life. He doesn't need wings to fly. His hands are dirty with electric mud. He has created a mold of dizzying electronic proportions, a nightmarish virtual reality dream state where sparkling energy collides with a total absence of time. Psychedelic electronic patterns drenched in futuristic haze. Imagine robotic ghouls malfunctioning in the snow. Hungry Soul creates dense eerie moodscapes rich with complexity and cosmic inspiration. His vision is blurry. His ways are everchanging, evolving and romancing the shadows of the night. Crafted with secure and utmost precision. Time to nurture your own hungry soul and create a delightful midnight carnival. Throw your double cups in the air and rejoice. Classify under : ''wild prestige'' and ''increasing 3D awareness''. Limited black vinyl edition of 300 copies. Packaged in beautiful handsilkscreened cardboard covers with artwork by Pointdextr.

The weighty sounds of D'Marc Cantu have been rumbling out on MOS DEEP's 10" series for sometime. We are very pleased to see this full album dropping. More info soon...

Solid Detroit fuelled tracks. Quality, underground techno on red vinyl. Early support by Mark Broom, Dubfire, Gerd, Darko Esser

Aubrey is one of UK's early 90's techno pioneers that made music still relevant today. On this Contact Funk 2012 EP Lifeworld introduces you to 4 of his classic and rare tracks remastered. Vortex Two is a straight forward techno trip with minimalistic 909 programming and deep mesmerizing sounds. With Reflection Aubrey brings things in more playful territory. The deep driving bassline, jumpy melody line and dito percusion provide for an insane dance floor bomb. On the flip we have a melodic club banger in Contact Funk and a deep techno tune called Ultra De Ja Vu. Beautiful dark blue marbled vinyl. Highly Recommended!

Meet Antwerp's ultimate Soda King aka Redray. After many years of isolation Redray has mastered his craft and learned to create believable demonic black eyes without Photoshop. Do not make eye contact for he orchestrates his moves with depraved sonic tendencies. He sees right through your soul. Xrays remove electrons from atoms and ions but only very hard x-rays can penetrate molecular clouds. The whole shock'n'awe type of thing, born bad, dripping goo and straight up evil. Think about a room filled with thick fog, vicious strobe lights and deep bass hits that would probably blow a submarine out of the water. For he is the uncrowned king of his castle and with this stab of purity he is transcending the cycles of life. Are you prepared to drift further into darkness It's splash season! Classify under: ''confrontational presence'' and ''downright alien''. Limited black vinyl edition of 300 copies. Packaged in beautiful hand silkscreened cardboard covers with artwork by Redray himself.

limited repress, be fast to secure your copy

4th vinyl of limited Unbalance Series !!

The roots of proper Detroit techno are wrapped all around this new M_REC Ltd. release.
Madrid-based producer Aikan drops three new tracks on this 12": 'First Balance' is basically a subdued dancefloor anthem, structured to surprise. There's melody, kick and experimentation, delivering in every sense. 'Second balance' pays tribute to those hypnotic melodies that we all recognize as techno staples.
On the flip side, Regis (undoubtedly one of the most relevant techno acts of the last 20 years) re-interprets 'Second Balance' boosting its most sinister side, playfully manipulating industrial and acid elements. What comes out is an exciting, but contained apocalypse that makes all rooms vibrate. To close the EP, 'Third Balance' turns all acid elements to overdrive, celebrating the techno that plays late at night, where layers and layers are interlaced to drive things forward.
Balance is another chapter fitting M_Rec Ltd. idea of techno as a clearly defined school, but with boundaries meant to be pushed in all directions.

Three tracks of hypnotising sci-fi technosoul by Jamal Moss aka Hieroglyphic Being, one of the few true spiritual descendents of Ron Hardy's Chicago house legacy. Taken from the 'Music for Mathematics' series, re-mastered and finally available on vinyl... We're into orbit again!

A composition of all of Sterac's remastered tracks as well as a selection of his remixes, giving you 10 beautifully sultry tracks from the melodic techno flow of 'Axion' to the sheer brilliance, beauty and soul of 'Astronotes' - each paving the way to the defining sound of 'Secret Life of Machines' .

Tresor Records marks its 250th release with a very special project indeed. Continuing to forge ahead whilst remaining ever mindful of its legacy, Tresor proudly presents Infiniti - The Remixes: a trilogy of classic cuts and new reworks from one of its original Detroit linchpins Juan Atkins.

collecting orders for a repress!!!

After the great response from our first release on 1:53.2 with Cari Lekebusch under his pseudonym as Jade Mantis and Zoe Xenia we continue with the second release of 1:53.2 with another one of our heroes: Jesper Dahlbäck!

A man that needs no presentation with some of the most seminal releases in dance music history to his name. Except for releases under his own name, Jesper Dahlbäck is the man behind producing a series of hits for artists like Tiga. With releases on Turbo Recordings, Mobilee Records, SVEK, Drumcode, H-Productions and his own ISL records he is one of the most respected guys in this game.

For this release Jesper brings us an 80s disco flavored House EP that has got summer vibe written all over it!

The lead tracks Miffo and Donna are beautiful house tracks that takes your imagination on a ride to early morning sets.
Tanden is a very cleaver toolish techno track that Jesper has been using for years in his sets. We are very happy and proud that he has chosen 1:53.2 as the label to release this frequently asked for track.
