Techno News

Vinyl Box-Set limited to 500 copies + includes the Compilation on CD
Time is running...and it seems like we just woke up out of our interstellar sleep-mode as we are facing the arrival of the 14th edition of the almighty COCOON RECORDINGS COMPILATION. Starting with the letter 'A' we reached 'N' meanwhile which probably marks one of the longest running techno-compilation-series ever around. The list of the featured artists is amazing and almost endless. Big names like Funk D'Void, Alter Ego, Michael Mayer, Steve Bug, DJ Rush, Adam Port, Christian Smith, Nina Kravitz, Henrik Schwarz or Argy can be found here. Not to forget some of the biggest players in the circus like Sven Väth, Anthony Rother, Extrawelt, Timo Mass, Radio Slave or Ricardo Villalobos, DJ Koze, Dubfire and even Berlin's Basic Channel mastermind Moritz Von Oswald! With the new 'Compilation N' we will add even more big names side by side to some fresh and promising ones. Let's start with Konstantin Sibold & Leif Müller who gave us 'Kolibri", a great slowed down techno-tune that brings us back to the high days of Alter Ego when Harthouse released big listening and electronica albums. Track number two by Julian Perez follows that feeling and explores the deep and dubby sides of techno, too. A perfect transition to Frankfurt homeboy Markus Fix. It's dub again however spiced up with hypnotic strings and a clubby kickdrum shaking our bass bins! With track number four, 'Compilation N' opens the door to proper and kicking club music.

The Lone Roamer is the experimental and deep side of Riccardo D'Agostini, inspired by a dystopian world in which almost all the life forms are dead after an unspecified event. Wandering alone through that devastated world is not just a physical act, it is a real personal and deep journey.

Riccardo freely expressed his feelings in this release, without being affected by definite genres. It follows that the original tracks are a mix of techno and progressive, ambient and drones, hard kicks and pads... Area Forty_One and Sonitus Eco complete this release, with their own interpretation of loneliness and desolation. These awesome remixes fit perfectly the mood of The Lone Roamer, strengthening that feelings.

Riccardo started this project like an experimental alias more than one year ago and these tracks are the first of the series. The decision to print them despite the growth of the project in this year comes exactly from the experimental and mutable nature of the project itself: in the following months you will listen to more recent productions, but now, The Lone Roamer wants to present himself from the beginning.

To complete the project introduction, a limited edition featuring a cassette will be released on the label Bandcamp store. It will include an exclusive track you won't find somewhere else.

Modularz is on fire!! with another powerful release by Developer this time getting together with techno producer Jeroen Search delivering a driving remix of Orgins. Jeroen Search gained his early recognition by releasing on Jeff Mills Axis sub label 6211 as well as a wealth numerous release's that date back from the 90's.

feat. two exclusive jams + J Dilla tribute.

Mit THE ORB kehren echte Pioniere der elektronischen Musik zu Kompakt zurück - der Langspieler MOONBUILDING 2703 AD präsentiert erneut einen grossen Wurf in Richtung psychedelischen Synthie-Segens, obskurer Loops und porentiefer Ambient-Texturen, geschwenkt in schwungvollen Breakbeats und wirkmächtigen Basslines. Mit einem für genresprengende Projekte wie diesem hier eher unüblichen Vorwärtsdrang beerbt das neue Album von den Großmeistern Alex Paterson und Thomas Fehlmann ihren 2005er Erfolg auf Kompakt, das augenzwinkernd benannte "Okie Dokie It's The Orb On Kompakt" (KOMPAKT CD 45), sowie einige Beiträge zu unseren Speicher- und Pop-Ambient-Serien - viel wichtiger allerdings, daß wir das legendäre Duo auf der Höhe ihrer Schaffenskraft antreffen, eine neue wesentliche Phase einläutend in einer Laufbahn, die nur als bahnbrechend bezeichnet werden kann.

Hot two tracker featuring solid techno grooves and pumping chords on "Breathe" with driven analogue percussion, pads and circuit bent robot voices on "Memory Flash". Support from those who know!

After the successful album on Polegroup, Exium returns to home with a new 12", joined by Kwartz, a young new talent from Madrid. Expect four quality tunes, dark and deep drums with intelligent synth programming that works perfect on the dancefloor.

Mesehyena Tracks is Axhan Sonn's first full album. This music is much more than ambient electronica. Axhan's atmospheric compositions can be compared to a trip thru the galaxy where past, present and future collide.

Kuba Sojka is a rising techno and house producer from Poland who's picked up critical acclaim in recent years for his releases on Mathematics, Matrix Records, Souliner and more recently Dogmatik. Kuba returns to fledging deep tech UK based label Souliner with three original cuts and one remix by label boss Souliner.

The lead cut "What You Know" is an exemplary lesson in cross referencing techno with house. The track builds with layers of sounds bonding with each other to breeze into a track that will pick up much critical acclaim for those in the know. "Sunny Day" is a bright and breezy fusion of horn with technology, a jazzed up be-bop bomb. "Long Trip" takes us through a journey with incessant chords jamming along with a rolling bassline. "What You Know (Souliner remix)" finishes the release off with a steady interpretation of the lead cut.

It's just a year since the release of Grey Fades to Green, and we are now talking about Oscar Mulero's new album: Black propaganda.
9 brand new tracks that reflect a new twist in his sound, going deep into dark territories; a black and white approach to dance electronics, where shades and echoes and drones are mixed with obscure rhythm treatments that go from slow tempos to more uplifting beats.
Sonically speaking, his sound has become simpler, with less elements but better sound design. Less is more.
All tracks have a common feeling, like a soundtrack for a sad European landscape: mental, industrial, repetitive and definitely non-melodic. Do not expect any of the rich harmonies of the previous album, because this one is more about the texture and the feeling.

Aah, the breakbeat, the very foundations on which the British underworld of dance music was built upon, takes it rightful place once again, and Will Azada royally plunders the spirit of the rave scene on his opening track, 'Mysterious White Powder'. The Tennessee based producer & DJ locks into the early UK sound on his 'Proper Traxx' EP, and debut offering for Hypercolour. On the flip side, the theme continuous on 'Let's Get Tight', all heavyweight stabs and knarly 909 drums, whilst the gloriously titled 'A Night In The Life Of Mr. Dirtbag McDiscopants' plays a straight 4/4 beat, and attacking it with breathy vox stabs and rave horns, you'll be transporting yourself back to Dreamscape circa 91 after you're done with this EP.

DIF ist ein Danceoor orientiertes Techno/House Projekt frisch von der Waterkant/Hamburg.
Geboren und ins Leben gerufen wurde die Deutsch Iranische Freundschaft vom Perser Bardia Salour und dem aus Norddeutschland stammenden Benjamin Eisenbeiss.
Da beide schon sehr lange leidenschaftliche DJs und in der gleichen Clublandschaft zu Hause sind, war es nur eine Frage der Zeit, wann man sich zusammen findet, um gemeinsam als
Produzententeam an Tracks zu basteln.
Während der oft langen Studiosessions stellte sich beim ein oder anderen Schnäpschen schnell heraus, dass die Zusammenkunft kein Zufall war. Nein, die Erfolgsformel war rasch gefunden: hundert prozentige Leidenschaft zur elektronischen Musik plus hundert prozentige gegenseitig gefühlte Sympathie.
Das Ergebnis ist Ihr erstes Vinyl-Release auf Paper Jet Recordings. 

Early Support by :
Animal Trainer, Binary & Durden, Bombilla, Daniel FX, Daniel Mehlhart, Dennis Paulisch, Guy J, Hugo, Human Halo, Jussi-Pekka, Manou De Jean, Patrick Bateman, Slam Mode,
Patrick Zigon, Scotty A., Someone Else, Sophie Nixdorf, Tobsen Graale, Toby Dreher, Wankelmut, Werner Niedermaier

To release a new piece of music, it would seem, is to enter a competition for approval and appearances: who will play that track and how many will follow. Likes. Clicks. Transient signs of appreciation, or perhaps just vague nods of confirmation. But what about all those values inherent in music that just can't be quantified If merely one single person would listen to these songs and find herself or himself genuinely moved by them, wouldn't it be worth it We think so. We really do.

It has been quite a while since the last release from Jark Prongo on the Mojuba sublabel, but now we are back with some fresh music from the prolific Mr. Weisemann.

Straight out of New York City, the man behind White Material makes his Work Them Records debut, with 4 killers of pure analogue madness.

Its still all about dub-techno but with a heavy metallic sound that defines the project Pattern Repeat. This one will be in Red Coloured vinyl. Both tracks will be perfect for the peaktime hour.

New Japanese imprint 10 Label made a great impact with this record originally released in 2011. Originally limited to a
very small number of copies, we proudly present a full and much needed re-release with new centre art.

A1's Ancient Methods' 'Confused Voltage' cut batters the senses through decaying electro and industrialised beats. Savagely modern
electronic body music. A2's 'Deed' from Steven Porter (as conducted by 10 label bosses Katsunori Sawa and Yuji Kondo)
unfurls with growling, compressed gear. Uniquely ambiguous and Essential work from the guys who had recent, well received
works on Semantica and Weevil Neighbourhood. French sound-poet Anne-James Chaton is back with another killer track
(B1's 'Evenement27') after his previously collaborative release with Alva Noto on Raster-Noton. Finally, this fantastic EP is topped
off with the supreme industrial heaviness of 'Painfull' by Sawlin - otherwise known for his work on the enigmatic Vault Series.

Thirtyonetwenty - the international dialling code for Amsterdam - is the city's hot Tech-House imprint co-founded by Sandy Huner and Dave Ellesmere in 2007, now run solely by Sandy.
