Echocord returns late June with a new release, Joel Alter under his Jor-El alias, entitled 'Tilted Reality' and comprising three originals from the Swedish artist.
Currently based in Copenhagen, Sweden born producer and DJ Joel Alter is a name synonymous with
the contemporary Techno scene on both his home turf and across the globe, his back catalogue to date features a long player for the Uncanny Valley imprint, solo EP's for D'Julz' Bass Culture, Sweatshop and collaborative works for Kontra Musik alongside Henrik Johnsson amongst much more.
This time round though we see Alter return under his Jor-El guise under which he first started releasing material on DJ Hell's Internation Deejay Gigolo imprint. Up first is title-track 'Tilted Reality' laid out over seven minutes with a slowly unfolding dynamic feel, encompassing spiraling atmospherics, distorted rhythms and blooming stab- sequences.
'Elevation' follows and takes a more direct groove-driven approach via straight four-four percussion and hooky bass chops, whilst tension building pads and fluttering dub echoes gradually build around the foundation.
'Solitude' closes out the package deliving into deeper realms with soft ethereal dub chords, acid tinged leads and emotive strings.

Swedish sound poet Porn Sword Tobacco paints sparkling, intimate soundscapes over intuitive grooves and let them sprawl out over two 12" records full of life. Fresh!

A stone scorcher of an EP to put alongside his classic Aquaplanos with Donato Dozzy, from nearly ten years ago. Four contrasting, deeply atmospheric stages in longing — swingeing and propulsive to blissed-out and bittersweet. Terse but charged; hypnotic, never bludgeoning; soulful and warmly crafted, never mechanical. Says Nuel — 'Unveiled consists of live recordings made on the same great day: 03/10/2015. The inspiration comes from a woman, the record is my reaction to something she unveiled. The record is about really strong feelings, relationships and mental projections... a sexy record for me. After that recording session I found these tracks so appealing that I decided to keep them in that form, a document of that day.'In hand-made, silk-screened sleeves — tastily inky and rough — featuring a bust from the gardens of the Villa Medici in Rome... stern, erect, gaze averted. Another killer from the redoubtable Latency. Very warmly recommended.

Eliptic is Nothing but...' passion. The first release of Bucharest's based label, comes with two great pieces. On A side, Julian's track is pure madness, with a groovy bass-line, subtle percussion and crazy effects, just perfect for a good dance. On side B, Fengda's track is a trip from the beginning to the end, with a mysterious atmosphere, growing an intense journey for a taste of freedom. Two different musical perspectives that completes each other in a 12' vinyl, that you can't miss. Early supported by Rhadoo and Raresh.

Inc. Echologist Dub version

Craggy, slightly sharp sound with a rolling bass of different shapes and manifestations sounds interesting and racily fits in the overall picture of the track. Three angles: association, image, essence that bears an idea containing soft and moving vibration.

Die Vier-Track-Komposition - Regenerate EP' von Dr. Nojoke geht mit gewohnter Genialität, auf - Nook' - einem neuen Only-Vinyl-Label aus Russland - an den Start. Mit dem Track - Kiss Me, Please' macht er den Titel zum Programm. Das äußert sich speziell bei den Kuss-Vocals, die er mit knackigen Beat á la Nojoke und einem Hauch von Kirchenorgelelementen arrangiert. Für den Track - Regenerate' gibt er sogar seine Stimme zum Besten - mit grooviger Basslinie unterlegt nach gewohnter Manier. Die beiden anderen Stücke bewegen sich in herrlich, abstrakten Dimensionen. Track-Namen wie - Lombrum' und - Yusulahe' sind typisch für Dr. Nojoke. Ähnlich wie der dazugehörige Sound suggerieren sie Offenheit und Verspieltheit und bieten Raum für individuelle Interpretationen.

This album has its origins 17 yeas ago in early 2000, before Chain Reaction released the legendary Ship-Scope 12'. Three of the tracks here are taken from an acetate cut at Dubplates & Mastering at that time but which wouldn't see the light of day until now, including another batch of tracks taken from original masters. Only 5 copies of that acetate were ever made so this is the first time any of these tracks are available for public consumption and, for our money, rank among the finest and
most distinctive in either the Chain Reaction or Shinichi Atobe's vaults.

The material is effectively some of the Japanese producer's earliest work, showcasing the sort of tender, feminine pressure that would bubble up on the Ship-Scope EP and later be revealed in his new productions, Butterfly Effect and World yet, for many reasons, they would lay sunk in his archive for the next 17 years.
The tracks taken from that acetate are labelled First Plate 1-3 and really are quite remarkable, having taken on so much character and added weight over the years that the incidental crackle
of surface noise imbues proceedings with an added dimension that's hard to fathom. It basically sounds like a lost transmission making its way from Paul-Lincke-Ufer at the turn of the millennium
to a new, completely changed world all these years later.
The patina of crackle lends a mist-on-bare skin feeling akin to summer garden parties at Berghain in the stepping First Plate 1, and gives a foggier sort of depth perception to the hydraulic,
Maurizian heft of First Plate 2, but it's the submerged euphoria of First Plate 3 that hits the hardest; a heady, bittersweet reminder of days gone by.The other four tracks are crisply transferred from master tapes, relinquishing a sublime, impossible to categorise House variant that recalls everything from DJ Sprinkles to Ron Trent, yet with that weird, timeless production tick that by now has become something of a signature for this most distinctive and hard to categorise producer.

We are very excited to finally bring you 'First Ascend E.P' by Blkmarket Soundsystem. This is the final and only release under Blkmarket Soundsystem and Blkmarket Membership Records.

etb019 - Bastinov - Pentagon Bastinov (aka Diego Gennaro) is a Venice based young producer and DJ, following his last year release on Etruria Beat he is now presenting a more mature work, showing his artistic growth. This EP, the 19th of Etruria Beat Records and the 2nd release from Bastinov , is a path into techno and in its shades, starting from punching and rolling sounds and ending up with the addition of some melodic parts. Beyond the original mixes the EP is enriched with remixes from label boss Luca Agnelli, newcomer talents Toms:due and Proudly People. 'Pentagon' is composed by an alternated hypnotic synth's melody and a vibrant groove based which will bring you into your deepest mental journey. Luca Agnelli's remix of 'Pentagon' is a dub-techno explosive interpretation of the groove, spiced by a dark triplets synth and an amazing kick-dropping that will burn up the dance floors for sure! 'Theorem", was created with an amazing and pleasant chord, a devasting groove and big-punchin kick made by analogic drum machines (as the vintage Roland CR5000). The second remix on the vinyl comes from Toms:due that moved the track down to the 'Motor City's rules", adding a massive and dirty 909 groove and giving a special reinterpretaton of the original synth. A special digital bonus remix comes from Proudly People , composed by their unmistakable dark and deep techno sound, perfect for early morning djsets.

An Der Grenze brings together Techno music and photography in order to take you somewhere between heavens and oceans.
Ben Buitendijk has made himslef a name since he received great support from UK live performer Steve O'Sullivan. At the end of
2013, Ben released Promised Land on Steve's' Mosaic Split Series (Part One). One year later, Ben was in charge of the first release of Roger Gerressen's new imprint OGUN Records on which he presented his very first solo EP Magnitude (OGUN001). Finally, it's in March 2015 that Ben took the plunge when he launched his owm imprint Oblique Music and released his second solo EP, but first release of the label, Venomous (OBQ001), followed early June by his Past and Present EP (OBQ002). Ben is blossoming. We're therefore glad to welcome him and his mate Koen Hoets (release debut) on An der Grenze.
On the occasion of its second release, LumièresLaNuit and TONESERIES co-founder, Edouard, is glad to welcome Rotterdam-based duo Ben Buitendijk & Koen Hoets's Coordinated EP (ADG002) on An Der Grenze.
Coordinated EP presents two tracks relating to two different spots, so two different atmospheres. Whereas 51°54'01.6"N
4°28"05.0"E corresponds with the Maastunel in Rotterdam that connects the banks of the Nieuwe Maas, 51°54'33.0"N
4°29"13.7"E matches the Erasmusbrug (Erasmus Bridge), a combinedcable-stayed and bascule bridge in the center of Rotterdam connecting the north and the south parts of the city. Whereas the A-side presents a techno and trippy side, the B-side reveals a more atmospheric and percussive one.
In summary, both tracks are quite linear, a linearity that hypnotises and sucks the listener up till bringing him in a trance that
makes him feeling in another dimension.

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.

The second vinyl release from Betyar Records is Butter Solkim's Savaria EP, which is the fifth in the row of the publications. There are four tracks on the vinyl: two original versions and two remixes by Miklos Vajda. The tracks are still very harmonious, deep and a little melancholic. Anyone who ever listens to this vinyl will be a part of a special journey. The release is a worthy offspring of the first vinyl published by Betyar Records titled - The Sun Breaks Over the Mountains' by Miklos Vajda.

Completing the reissue cycle of Rainforest Spiritual Enslavement's ambient invocations, Papua New Guinea (2012) is rendered in this new remaster by Paul Corley (0PN, Tim Hecker, Ben Frost) and sacrificed to vinyl for the first and last time on Hospital Productions. Slotting alongside 5 previous vinyl reissues of the original tape editions released over the last 12 months, Papua New Guinea loops back to the start of the saga, affording a clearer and more immersive way into one of Dominick Fernow's most (oc)cultish projects.
The eight track dosage of Papua New Guinea generated a wave of speculation as to its shadowy provenance back in 2012. It sounded little like anything else in circulation and left heads genuinely floundering for answers to its riddling track titles and extreme aesthetics; a steeply evocative combination of near-infrasonic sub-bass tones and cold but humid environmental sounds laced with slow, looping, tribal rhythms.
It took at least another year before the project was revealed as an outlet for Hospital Productions capo Dominick Fernow, who had been quietly taking the opportunity to explore a sound putatively unfamiliar to his better known projects. Yet, with hindsight, it's now easier to hear RSE as an inverse, endothermic alternative to the raging energies of his Prurient output or the searing, propulsive combustions of Vatican Shadow, for example.
In stark contrast to proceeding instalments' increasing track lengths, Papua New Guinea is comprised of eight relatively concise parts, with each side of vinyl relating to one of the original tapes. The A-side seeps into consciousness in frightening style with Paul Corley's remaster now bringing the long, slippery sub-bass descent of There Are Many Powerful Spirits Living In The Hills And Stones And It Is Not A Good Idea To Disturb Them to life with uncanny psychoacoustic subtlety, before hypnotic rhythms take possession for the duration and the listener is eventually deposited at the bombed-out ambient ecology of The Spirit Was Angry And Froze The Bulldozer
So It Could Not Move. The Bulldozer Is Still There Today. What occurs between those points defies description in the manner of the strongest psychedelics, and likewise, requires deep immersion for full comprehension.
