Techno Novedades

After a small Shevchenko break, the Slavic Spiritual Warrior is back! Expect the usual mind-melting psychedelic dub warfare from all angles. 'No Music' is proper warehouse gear - intense, dark and cut at 45rpm for maximum damage. Flip over for two more abstract, analogue voyages into the Ukranium.

Madera's first own vinyl release: two single tracks "the melt" and "reduc_". His vinyl debut was on melted recordings mtd.008 part 1 and 2 with his deep an warm cl interpretations which were the most successful tracks of this 3-vinyl EP "cl interpretations" series. Again here on his special numbered/limited mtd.009 12" vinyl madera goes really deep into his soft and warm, but also pumping respectively ticking sound with strong drums - somehow one of the finest analog(ue) dubtechno tunes on melted ever! Madera is the label manager of varifocus which previously released the mtd.006 by Echtzeit on a limited CD.

Superb broken-bottom-end techno on the A1 track here with greater variety across the other three tracks carrying on brilliantly from where their recent 'Light Box' CD/LP left off... Office highlight has to be B1's drudging tip of the hat to the recent killer release from Lakker (BP034)

Putting your money where your mouth is can sometimes be rare in Techno these says, but Gynoid Audio has done just that in the form of its 'Limited' series.


Choosing some 'choice cuts' of its recent history, the label gives us 'Gynoid Limited 001' by way of Unbalace's 'Airport' and a remix by 'S-Tek'.

Both are uber floor friendly dub influenced cuts, rich with texture and fused with drive. This one-sided wax release is a must! Strictly limited pressing on clear vinyl.

IMITED TO 333 COPIES! colored green vinyl!!! This new act on Fauxpas Musik grooves in right from the start with a fast, mannered beat crawler. With a total of six plinking, blissfull melodies it's almost a full album. From the very first track the AXNM EP is as playful as Border Community. The picturesque tracks involve splendid breakdowns and almost trance appealing passages, which couldn't sound more peaceful. Each and single track appears like its own secret hymn. One of the most emotional and sweetish records on Fauxpas Musik. Vinyl tastes better...

The first release from Sweden's Random Island recordings offers three tracks of pure-bred techno from label owner Inter Gritty. Nihad Tule provides a stunning remix that turns the raw, Chicago-esque pounding of Kiska into a dramatic, flowing techno builder. And finally, Huemul drops the pace and sets off to explore the deeper side of techno, drenched in drones, chords and deep bass.

Dutchman Boris Bunnik already crafts deeper house and techno than most.Ê Forever keen to experiment and push the boundaries, though, the man best known as Conforce has recently started a new moniker, Silent Harbour. It's an alias which will see him explore more cerebral and conceptual sounds than ever before with the first fruits, a full length entitled Silent Harbour, due to be released on Danish imprint Echocord. To explain the roots of the project it's best to go right inside the mind of Bunnik, where he himself has been lost recently, exploring notions of isolation, deep-sea submersion, aquatic environments and all the abstract ambiance such places entail.

Part2 of 3 of timeless & mesmerizing tech-deepness by Eduardo de la Calle

On their sophomore LP, Tracer, Teengirl Fantasy cuts through some of the haze of their earlier recordings to
create their most compositionally sophisticated work yet. 'It's more focused, far-reaching and it takes more
risks.Unlike 7AM, Tracer is completely sample-free and features an array of vocalists including Panda Bear,

We are proud to release the third and last ep from the new Fluxion album on Echocord.
This work is about his travels in music. The sounds, influences and aesthetic of his actual travels, expectation-journey-destination, alongside the music influences deriving from them.
Through his prism those sounds, pictures, travels, emotions left traces of new directions, of future journeys to take."

Body' is the debut long player from 20 year old Darling Farah. Born in Detroit before relocating to the United Arab Emirates he is now in London, where in 3 short months this innovative debut was written. Deep, sophisticated and expertly reduced 'Body' showcases an artist striding forward at a rare pace, able to create almost overwhelming emotional dynamics, his is a world of daring introversion, increasing possibilities and resistance to classification. Traversing the Techno landscape with beautiful continuity the album navigates from beatless ambience, pulsing rhythms and machinist teutonics through dancefloor beats and cyclic 4/4 to Detroit soul and dub techno. Cohesive and effortless it will undoubtedly solidify the hype around it's precociously talented producer. Fusing the purist aesthetics of his native Detroit with mechanical soul, metallic sounds and atmospheric mysticism 'Body' is an album brimming in sensation, tempered skill and emotional mastery. Spacious voids filled with decaying reverb contain sparse arrangements, machine-like characteristics and subtle euphorics. Dream-like textures expand and contract in three dimensions, illuminated with delayed pyrotechnics they contrast with taut rhythms and pneumatic grooves. Lucid yet hypnotic, sonic memories grow and recycle organically as delicate changes and subtle variations on a considered palette focus their effect on the mind while effortlessly moving the body. Opening with 'North', the cavernous atmospherics begin and spacious tension builds around the tough sparse beat. On 'Realised' a bouncing rhythm driven by the hiss of pistons and a tightly reverbed 808 kick buckles under swelling reverb and drowns in crackling digital ambience. The deep and rolling 'Fortune' features a more minimal beat, one lost in warm bass, rich reverb and lush enveloping synths. 'Forget It' rides a dusty lo-fi 2 step garage skeleton while the sub bass moves creating imagined swing in the intoxicated haze. Breathy vocal shards and long barely-there synth melodies haunt the stylish title track 'Body', it's digital textures evoke lost industrial sentiment and move like ghostly transmissions around the gripping groove. On 'Curse' complex pounding techno is slowed to a motorik chug, detail shining in the gaps exposed. It bristles with frayed machine patterns as synths stabs and drive it forward into the a beat-less arpeggiated synth scape of 'Aaangel', who's sublime pads and primal harmonies exhilarate and feel synapse synced. The dub techno of 'All Eyes' fills a empty shell with remembered chords decaying around rhythmic mechanics while 'Bruised' offers one of the most rowdy and disorientating moments on the album, from the frozen ambience a darkside rush of growling bass dominates and a vocal snippet announces 'This is it'. Stoic but pacy 'Fortune Part II' sees pulsing bass run back lit against step sequenced synths and sporadic kicks before 'Telling Me Everything' closes the album, it's synths blowing like a desert wind as a hollowed out kick drifts wounded out into the vast final expanse

Basic Channel, Dub Techno influenced techno tracks for the warmer days.
