Brendon Moellerís long player homage to ìthe spirit of technoî ëWorksí, Electric Deluxe taps two of the albumís polar
moments for remixes to deliver Work Ethics.
Selecting one of Worksí toughest tracks for the A-side, ìAdjust to the Fading Lightî, the EP opens with a rare vocal refix
from Berghain resident Ben Klock. Whilst difficult to pin Klockís productions to any particular style, as a remixer heís
proven even more versatility and vision, reworking artists as diverse as Martyn, Kenny Larkin and Depeche Mode to
Emptyset and Steve Bug. Meanwhile Moeller mutes the hats and brings the trackís whirring dystopian bed to the fore with
his Echologist version, jettisoning its original surge for more swollen and experimental terrains.
On the flip, Worksí luscious dubbed out number ìWriting Wrongsî is pulled further apart and dragged to dark subaqueous
depths by Echospace duo Rod Modell and Stephen Hitchell as cv313. Melbourne-based producer Craig McWhinney on the
other hand takes ìWriting Wrongsî in the other direction entirely, soaring past Moellerís original to conclude Work Ethics
on a hazy sun kissed dub trip thatís altogether soothing, light and mesmerising.

The new label by Alexander Kowalski goes from strength to strentgh! Release #2 includes more super keen techno tracks by Extrawelt & Kowalski himsel !!

Electric Deluxe are proud to announce Works, the ninth studio album from dub techno purveyor Brendon Moeller. Conceived in late 2010 and inchoately developed during a spell in Amsterdam with EDLX head Jochem Paap overseeing the project, Works flaunts Moeller at the height of danceabilty whilst remaining true to his steeped lineage as a maker of textured, atmospheric and subaqueous electronic music.

Number Eleven on Uncanny Valley focuses on the soundscapes of CVBox who debuted on the fourth compilation, Uncanny Valley 4, in 2011. Releasing his first solo record, he's finally able to express his very specific idea of sound somewhere in between meditative Ambient and compelling Techno on the 'Analog Amputations EP'. 'Past the Eclipse' is shaped by echoing choirs at first and mutates then into a serious Detroit Funk killer for self forgotten Techno dancefloors. 'Counterflow' starts to roll with menacing drones but quickly surprises with its optimistic atmosphere and an irresistibly catchy synth flute. The flipside starts off forcefully with the oldschool Techno stomper 'Droid Swift 836'. After that 'Orience' floats in a sea of pads without losing the Funk of the CVBoxes. The cover artwork was created by visual artist Paul Barsch from Dresden.

Meander continues the killer project from Mike Shannon and DeWalta with a superb record of pure
analog synth-funk. The creative cooperation between these two inventive minds deliver a pretty
unusual adventure. Wandering via a deep forest of sounds Saint Jack De Smoove guides you
powerful and reverberating through the darker territories of time and space.

Mike, known for his outputs on respected labels like Plus 8, Force Inc., Wagon Repair and Cynosure
already worked with DeWalta for releases on Haunt and their first record for the same project on
Cynosure. Their second offering goes a huge step further into sound design and warm black grooves
making it a perfect record for the house Meander is. Saint Jack De Smoove welcomes you to join him
on his incredible voyage into altered states.

ESHU Records returns, after a successful first release, with a 4 track EP that shows the many sides of the techno spectrum ESHU Records admires. An excellent selection with tracks from Mattias Fridell, Tomas Rubeck, Myles Sergé and Imugem Orihasam. a nice list of talented and upcoming producers from all over the globe (Sweden, Detroit, UK, Japan). Smoking techno tracks with influences from Detroit techno, dubby Berlin sounds and more straight forward club bangers. Worth the Check!!

early support from matthew dear, marco carola, scuba, laurent garnier, gerd, norman nodge, ame, joris voorn, deetron, samuel l. session...Exos lives in Iceland where he has been producing some essential Techno since the mid '90s. He released many of his productions on the foundational german label Force Inc. Music Works. Exos' music ranges from the most experimental compositions to some of the most elegant dancefloor tracks. He also gets in the studio with his father Octal, who released some of his music on Mosaic.

The 2nd vinyl part from the Fluxion album comes with a Morphosis remix that is a real killer.
We are proud to release the second 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."
Fluxion captured the "Motion" in his travels with a different feeling each time.

'Eruption' is maybe the most powerfull deep dubby track from the Traces album, perfect for the dancefloor.
'Motion 3' and 'Motion 2' are beautifull floating dubby tracks.
Finally Morphosis did a remix of 'Eruption', pure killer madness for the dancefloor.
After a decade in the field of dub, techno, ambient, Fluxion opens the horizon with music that cannot fall under one specific territory.

Limited 250 copies, vinyl only. The collaboration between Chicago producers Hakim Murphy and Ike Release brings a cosmic palette of futuristic sounds that give homage to the spirit of Chicago Jack. Organic collisions appeared with this 3-track EP.

After a few months of releasing collaborative EPs alongside Sascha Rydell and Roman Lindau, Mike Dehnert marks a quarter century of releases on his own label with Fachwerk 25, a full-length album comprised of 13 tracks. This new album sees Mike experimenting somewhat. Away from the dubbed out, functional and raw techno funk of his usual output, Fachwerk 25 shows some concession to the album format, with more mysterious tracks of ambient buried amongst bits of acid, rave and plenty of unhinged sound design. After the dystopian and scene-setting intro, there's the chugging house and nagging synths of 'Fraction' that are both dark and beautiful at the same time. From there, there's slowed, melancholic dub in the form of 'Modulat' and the beat-less, underwater sounding 'Courant' with its icy pads and wide lateral spread. The title track is more what you'd expect of Dehnert, with well-swung kicks and grainy synth chords rolling along like basement techno should, before the squelchy industrial madness of 'Grundform' breaks the stride of the album once again, taking you off to a different place entirely. The second half is just as varied and unpredictable, ranging from raucous peak time stuff to more nuanced and cerebral fair that always manages to bares the hallmarks of Fachwerk: quality, invention and unpredictability. Having established his Berlin label as a go-to and no nonsense outlet for fans of a certain type of stripped down but inviting techno, Fachwerk 25 will likely bring a whole new sort of attention on Dehnert and his ever on-point imprint.

Played and Supported by Norman Nodge, Samuli Kemppi, Inigo Kennedy, Samuel L Session, Colin Dale, DVS1, Developer, Alan Fitzpatrick, Cassegrain, Markus Suckut, Phil Kieran, Max_M and more.
Darkcell shows the new release on vinyl, just the third for his own label. His style is clearly defined. One track signed by the label's owner, and others two tracks signed Myk Derill (Reform, Knotweed, etc). Darkcell transmitted in its track an atmosphere of modern techno. A slow techno rhythm, repetitive with something of psychedelic. A sort of brainwashing that will lead to total body hypnosis. The two tracks by Myk Derill are the same style. The first track (Apply) is definitely very rough with a syncopated rhythm . The second (Contemporary) is much more in the direction of dub-techno.
Only high quality in the Fluxus Records vinyl.

Deep floating techno with a remix by Donato Dozzy!

Coming not so far from the Alps, Opuswerk is a new talented artist in love with hardware equipment and already got some strong producing skills.

Kenneth Christiansen & Dennis Bøg presents Pattern Repeat part 6.
This time Pattern Repeat gets a little more harder and darker on PR00/6.
The A side is a moody dark track with deep hypnotic almost nightmare kind of groove, with a old school kind of atmosphere.
The B side gets hard straight from the beginning of the track with a pounding almost industrial kick drum, that builds from a minimal groove that really will kill the PA system in the club.
Pattern Repeat has stepped up, and shows the harder and deeper side of the Copenhagen Techno scene.

Searle comes back to Mowar for his second release. While his Mind Transfer ep was a darker workout, his new She Moves ep show a deeper dubbed side of his productions. The title track perfectly combines the dub aesthetics and simple Basic Channel effectiveness with sweet infatuating stabs and scapes. This one's for the deeper and more sensual moments on the dancefloor. 'Melancholy' goes even deeper emotionally layering a steady slightly jacking rhythm with edgy melancholic atmospherics and melodies. On the flipside Russ Gabriel, who remixed on the very first Mowar release back in 2008, reworks 'She Moves' in a stripped hypnotic mover, slightly more thumping for those sexy hips. Last track 'Tunneling' is what Searle would call a 5 am groover for the die-hards who want to be embraced by the sensuality of deep emotional techno.
