Techno Novedades

After having debuted on the KX label compilation (KX 10) last year with the excellent "Subwolfer", upcoming producer KRISZTIAN DOBROCSI continues to craft weighty and soulful dance tunes for his debut album PLAYBACK PHILOSOPHY. The second full-length release coming from KX presents nine sweeping cuts brimming with glistening melodies, succulent synths and earthy, propulsive beats. From the emotive loops of opener AMNETIC CINEMA to the dreamy epic PLANET NINE, the snappy KALEIDOSCOPE or the immersive soundscapes of LIGHT OF ZARTHA, this is a surprisingly mature debut, confidently balancing between deep textures and catchy hooks - making this a aunting and infectious listening experience for all fans of electronic dance music with heart.

Main Drain Studios & Wax & Cats host Dreamlogicc is back on 'Mochi for some hazy summer underwater spirituality, all bathed in slow phosphorescence.

Saturn And The Sun's second album Focus On The Centre Of Your Skull' is a deep thing zooming in to mess with your mind.
Heavy, psychedelic electronic music that draws fuel from 80's industrial as swell as minimal techno and probably some dub too.
Along the same trajectory as last year's Journey To The Centre of Your Mind LP and the Harsh Realities, Broken Bones and Skull Tones tape, this one is a stoically crushing demonstration of noise and techno minimalism at its purest, most affective, rudely intent on massaging or even masticating your grey matter into unstable states.
The four parts of Focus on the Centre of Your Skull draw on a strong heritage of dub, noise, techno and metal yet could never quite be accused of imitating any of them. Rather they cut thru all fields at once to irrigate their own furrow of mutant, roiling drone which exists in a strange paradox of pulsating momentum and aching stasis, eaten away by caustic FX which bluntly work their way in like parasitic organisms.
Great, visceral stuff.

After his successful first vinyl release as "Echtzeit" on melted
recordings (mtd.001), with very positive feedback by many dj's, the
producer Frank Rumpelt tried a different view on the theme ("Echtzeit" now
as title) in various styles of techno. 3 tracks - a bit more electro with
harmonics - are listening music and dance floor compatible, too. Plus 3
"locked grooves" we have 6 tracks on this vinyl. This record comes in a
premium outer and inner sleeve cover.
now re-releasd!

Weitergang durch Stillstand Von Alexander Lass Simpel, aber kraftvoll, kurz stürzt sich der schwer zu definierende Musiker und Performer Tobi Binär aka binär in kosmische Soundgebilde. Seine erste Vinyl - LP Stern verkörpert den langen und breiten musikalischen Spektrumsweg. Die Person Binär ist eng mit den Schlag- und nicht Schlafwörtern: absoluter Schwung statt halben Sachen verbunden. Der gebürtige Weltenbürger hat in den vergangenen Jahren seinen Lebensmittelpunkt in Wien gefunden und zeigt mit dieser gefundenen Ruhe in der Mixtur auf. Die früheren Vorgänger trotzen und überzeugten, aber gleichwohl durch den fast stetig gut gefassten Klang. Der neue Träger birgt eine alleine mit den gut assoziierenden Titeln first party und the last party, dass dazwischen ein neuer Schwung durch Stern zu erwarten ist. Vielleicht am Beginn ein wenig überraschend für eingefleischte Binär Fans, aber sicher ein Grund Stern zu erwerben.

Human Rays - Stockholm, Sweden producer Robin Smeds Mattila—says that the music on A Tension was made during nocturnal sessions in a studio full of mostly cheap analog and digital gear, all in one take. "I kind of let the mood guide me and just go with it," he says. The result is a gripping fourtrack´suite of emotionally charged minimal ambient that was created quickly but sounds like it was rigorously sweated over for many weeks. After a handful of releases that explored noisy, quasiindustrial techno, Mattila here deviates into a more abstract, melancholy mode with A Tension. His creative process involves experimenting "to see how far I can push a sound with a pretty lofi setup. Improvisation and limitations are part of the thing that makes it interesting." This approach yields riveting dividends right from the start on A Tension. On "Condensity," the sparse pinging and distant, muted beats commingle with what sounds like rough wind or waves, hinting at the Arctic vibes that Biosphere conjured on Substrata. It's at once chill and chilling, tranquil and unsettling. "Between The Hours" places spindly, woody beats beneath a dramatic sweep of synthetic strings, ebbing and flowing like Fripp & Eno's monumental "An Index Of Metals." "Neverendless" might be even more redolent of the North Pole than "Condensity," its severely minimal isolationist ambience suggesting Mick Harris' nonemorecold Lull or Thomas Köner's Permafrost. On "Manual Litany I," Mattila takes what sounds like a sentimental synth melody and smears it into a mantra of compelling drudgery. He notes that the track draws inspiration from William Basinski, who's famous for his series of profoundly poignant Disintegration Loops albums.

Iconic label and global club brand Renaissance returns with the continuation of the revered 'Mix Collection' compilation series. Art Department has delivered a timeless mix of underground House and Techno, past and present. Art Department will be touring worldwide to support the release and, with over 400k Facebook fans, has a strong platform to reach directly to his global fanbase. As the first release of a new era for Renaissance, this eagerly anticipated album illustrates the label's remit to present the very best of current underground artists and music.

Renaissance has a history of more than 80 compilation releases in the past 2 decades, since releasing the UK's 1st ever gold-selling compilation 'Renaissance The Mix Collection:Sasha& John Digweed' in 1994

Listed as one of the best clubs worldwide, not to mention best club in Romania, Midi started their own label with a bang early last year. This time it's g76's turn to make you dance with his two tracker.

Timber so is definitely the melodic one with subtle sweeps and resonated percs running smoothly along a trippy voice. The warm bass will keep your feet warm.

A fractured neck nock is the dark one. Synths are lurking behind the sick percussion. The guitar riff and a kids voice increase the mystery as the track progresses. This might seem dark and deep but it's pumping as well.

An original electronic disciple hailing from New York, Sandwell District's David Sumner a.k.a Function presents his debut album 'Incubation' on Ostgut Ton. Like the soundtrack to a suspenseful Techno-thriller, or retro-futurist Sci-Fi tale, it's a modern sound journey heavy on imagery. Over nine tracks we are guided through the varying moods and scenes of Function's musical temperament. Be it through writhing layered club tracks, soaring string-led atmospheres, or melodic pieces founded on classic electronic traditions, 'Incubation' marks a new level of maturity for the Berlin-based producer. What begins as a lush and blossoming lesson in ambient synth arrangements, with the beautiful arpeggios and waveforms of 'Voiceprint', quickly drops off the apex and into the depths of Function's filtering acid world as 'Against The Wall' unfolds. This metallic, acidic concept is explored further too, in the final moments of the album with the chilling 'Psychic Warfare'. A spiraling, organic surge of warm synth tones and other-worldly arpeggios unravels itself in 'Counterpoint', acting as an early bridge between some of the drum-led studies that follow. And thus, the pressure increases. 'Modifier' presents itself with tight, snaking drum patterns and tense, late 90s kinetic warehouse energy. Opening a path into an alternate, yet not too distant dimension then, 'Incubation (Ritual)' takes form; it's haunting and graceful waves of synths continue the Sci-Fi theme, while the tough modulating bass undercurrent reminds us of Function's big-room Techno appeal. The final moments of 'Incubation (Ritual)' glide effortlessly into the album version of 'Inter', where ethereal melodies and snippets of spoken word surround a classic IDM-Deep-House core. 'Voiceprint' returns as a (Reprise) version, in what could become the crossover club track of the year. Coming on like a classic R&S or Soma release circa '95, the undulating synths are now caught in a rapturous groove, urged on by a perfect 909 drum pattern and forward pushing, precise arrangement. Taking the minimalistic, hypnotising mantra of previous Function 12''s like 'Isolation' or 'Burn' to another level, 'Psychic Warfare' brings the voyage to a a close, it's overlapping, ebbing metallic acid tones inducing equal measures of tension and elation. In the CD version of the album, 'Gradient I' concludes the voyage. Earthy, modulating bass and 808 patterns merge as a cyclic, audio resolution occurs. With a final, intense atmospheric wash we find ourselves re-born, out in the ether, having witnessed an event of great weight and substance. In the final mixing stages of the album Function brought the material to cult engineer and producer Tobias Freund (NSI). Since 1980, working with the legendary Frank Farian, Freund's skills helped bring acts like the controversial Grammy award-winning Milli Vanilli to fame, and he would pioneer early European Techno and Electronica through his Sieg Über Die Sonne project (with Dandy Jack). Function chose Tobias to do his work justice, and add his years of mix experience to this ambitious, succinct and artistic album. Bound in mysticism, forged through experience, 'Incubation' is a bold and powerful album from one of modern Techno's key players. Inclined to hold back, rather than release too much, Function has let his sound develop and mature, fusing analog synths and drums with modern production techniques to create something unique and timeless.

The Kestrel (Turmfalke) will rise in Spring 2015, starting the new label by Matthias Springer with focus on physical media. The philosophy behind is to invite friends to this special cross-over concept. Every artist presents an original in combination with remixing eachother. In the end 4 tracks on one release, no special genre is preset, everything can happen. Frank Hellmond is the special guest on the first Turmfalke release, bringing in his unique deephouse flavour that features some pretty nice vocals from Snowflake, while Matthias is turning it into a combination of dub and acid ... but just have a listen.

To protect the digital integrity all tracks will be re-released for online-media about 5 - 6 months after the physical release. Beside we decided that there is no need for "cool" looking coloured vinyl, so we will keep it black and heavy weight with 180g of pure electronic music!

Slovenia's prime annual selection of dubbed out electronica gets an extra boost with 4 new artists. The compilation effortlesly swivels between electronic soundscapes and organic dub. Equally enjoyable in a cozy home enviroment and in darker club atmosphere.

Originally from Ireland, now living in Toronto, producer and DJ, Neil Mooney, aka Throwin Shapes, developed his wide-ranging sound by immersing himself in Toronto's diverse underground music scene for the last 10 years. Having deejayed at some of the city's most forward-thinking music events, Mooney has now focused his attention on production. Over the eight songs on his debut album, with newly-started, vinyl-only label Religio, Throwin Shapes shows the full and eclectic range of his musical influences, from dub to deep house and acid to techno. Expansive yet intimate, banging while still soulful, percussive and melodic, Pembroke Session LP is music for the late night.

All night long: With its stripped-down kicks, crisp hi-hats, warm keys and plump bassline, this is classic deep house. You'll be mesmerized by the sultry voice intoning you to stay 'all night long.'

Diving Bell: True to its name, this tune is like a transmission from the depths. The chunky bassline, staccato hi-hats and ethereal pads mix to create an atmospheric and abstract late-night vibe. Don't sleep on this one if you're a fan of Keith Worthy, Patrice Scott or quality Detroit house.

Dub flight: Get on board for a slow and absorbing trip to echolandia. This is dreamy dub techno. Generous use of heavy delay on the timbale gives the track a post-carnival after-party feel.

Exercises in Alchemy: Building steadily from a minimal 4/4 beat to a mass of swirling pads and swishy chords, guaranteed to keep any 5 am dancefloor busy. We're talking a good kind of black magic here.

Give it socks: With a future-retro vibe, Give it Socks features a rolling 303 bassline, sharp percussion and a spacey overall texture that will indubitably inspire creative body movement.

Jigtime: This track combines a driving infectious bassline, offbeat percussion, woozy pads and a high-pitched layer of strings to create a sure-fire dancefloor killer!

Morning Comes: A rhythmic and hypnotic take on dub techno, this is the song that you want emanating from the speakers as the sun rises.

Rag order: Starting with a banging drumline and acid-tinged percussion, Rag order evolves to a place of warm atmospheric pads and pristine key stabs.
