Techno Novedades

LHR001 is an obsession in hard drilling percussion, banging synth-elements & drums, that roll in a more complex groove-pattern.
This excursion is deadly effective. Heavy pounding prime time techno.

Third single EP "Spring aroma" by prolific deep/dub techno producer Martin Schulte immersed in deep bass, slow rhythms, spring atmospheres, echo chords, harmonic structures associated us with spirit of Spring. Recommended to all fans of aquatic and echo chords manipulations.

Sascha Borchardt aka Monoloc is a dystopic atmospheres fanatic that has dedicated his life to the dance floor from an early age. The Frankfurt-born artist's raw yet sleek take on techno and ambient has evolved to characterise his own musical style in his productions. Monoloc's sound is a mixture between techno, dub and ambient, nurturing a tone that is driving, groovy and low-slung, but with greater emotional range. He acquires most of his inspiration from old movies and likes to work mostly with field recordings in his productions.
'The Untold Way' on Dystopian is his second album, following his first in 2012, and shows a notably matured development in the artist's style. Sascha explores the distant realms between the pillars of genres, presenting a 12 track album of techno but not as we know it - left field, keeping a foot in ambient, with elements outside of the dancefloor. He brings together the concept of an album written in his own language of atmospheric patterns, melodies and fragments of words and voices. Instead of functional four to the floor tracks he explores the meaning and depths of dark, melancholic music.
The album unfolds into a 12 chapter story of his musical style with many surprises and twists along the way. 'The Untold Way' starts with the ambient 'Revive', slow and gentle yet apprehensive. As the listener moves through the album they catch glimpses of almost formed club tracks, in 'The Untold Way', 'Michigan Lights', 'Gravity Growl' and 'Alighting'. These have remnants of a dancefloor impression, a prominent beat is there, but not much more.
At other points you see Monoloc's more experimental side. 'No GHSTS' featuring Tijana T evokes a resounding beat filling an empty space, with the occasional piano melody and eerie vocal. 'Cloning Society' is beatless, driven merely by a consistent bass and echoing voice. The album is interspersed with short ambient interludes, each just a few minutes long: 'Lowa' and 'Gently Falls', serene and reflective, give the listener time to breathe. And bringing you back to familiarity are more the dancefloor focussed tracks of the LP, 'Momentum' and 'Muted'. The twelfth and last track is 'Ground Disorder', which brings the album to a halt with an air of nostalgia.
The result is a story, a history in twelve chapters that the listener is guided through like the landscapes of a gothic horror film, with a new twist on the percussion or surprising effect hidden behind every bass sound, waiting to excite and delight.

Julian Perez on fire, limited copies.

Earlier this year, Subwax Bcn made an important contribution to the electronic music community by having the timeless dub techno compilation Vibrant Forms II by Fluxion remastered and reissued. First released in the year 2000 on Chain Reaction, Vibrant Forms II is widely considered to be one of the greatest achievements in the genre. As it turned out, Vibrant Forms II became one of the last records to be released on Mark Ernestus and Moritz von Oswald's classic label - a suitable swan song if there ever was one. And that's it, right Well not quite. If one would search for Fluxion - Vibrant Forms III, Discogs would come up empty and Google would treat it as a misspelling. Until now. Konstantinos Soublis, aka Fluxion, and Subwax Bcn have decided to pick up the banner and release Vibrant Forms III as a CD as well as four individual 12 records under 2016. It contains everything you could hope for and more: The massive, booming basses, the clicks and hisses, the atmospheric thunderstorms, the opium smoke-scented streaks of reverb and dub echoes. The warmth. Yes, above all else the warmth: Sometimes moist and dripping as in Safe Harbour, sometimes blisteringly dry as in Variant. It's no easy task, giving cold, dead machines warm breaths. And no-one quite does it like Fluxion. The Reissue of Vibrant Forms II was an act of cultural preservation. It reminded us about the legacy of the Basic Channel label family, in which Chain Reaction played an important part. Without this legacy, the contemporary body of electronic music would look different and make very different sounds. With the Release of Vibrant Forms III, Subwax Bcn takes it one step further. Fluxion's Vibrant Forms III album

Debut 2x12" release from And.rea and third super strike from Melliflow, an electronic music label based in Berlin, founded and curated by Vera & Alexandra.

Units and Measurements is the collaborative project of Christopher Hreno, Mathew Jonson and Colin de la Plante. The project sees these long times friends and veteran producers exploring the limits of hardware based improvisation and deep synthesis and effects programing . Documenting a single epic 24 hour session at Jonson's mothership studio in Berlin, this first release sees the trio exploring some of the headiest ambient and tunneling hypnotic techno to be found in any of their admittedly vast individual back catalogs. This release is without question a portrait of 3 masters of their craft at work, and quite unlike anything else you are likely to hear this year.


Units and Measurements will be available in a double vinyl and digital formats on November 4th via BLKRTZ, with worldwide distribution via Kompakt.

Sometimes playful, sometimes serious and conceptual Sounds that skirmish in a huge construct of 4 Tracks. A sizzling noise pops up a straight kick 'n' hi-hat rhythmic and initiates It's All Good by Alek S, the new EP on made of CONCETE'.
First track, Grand Central , remains true to the sound of industrial techno and the main-lead synthesizer, sounding like fast objects passing the structure of differing beat-fabric. By the second Track It's All Good , remixed by Myles Sergé, described as reclusive perfectionist, whose roots are based on Detroit/Chicago electronic music, the sound evolves into intense and delightful percussional tech sound. Followed by the original track It's All Good and the final one Boyz Weekend the EP proves it's continuous quality of straight surfaces and deep dubby techno sound

Third reference of the label White Rose (part of the Dead Rose Records project) that brings together the hypnotic detroit sound of mid 90s and also the dub flavors of the mid 90s Berlin sound. The E.P. is signed by SPEAR with remixes from Max_M and Miki Craven.

Label honcho Eduardo De La Calle teams up with Orbe for one of the most exciting ASR releases thus far. Repetitive, percussive and of course analog. Two guys that know how to work machines on one of the most analog focussed labels around.

Here comes another release by Echologist aka Brendon Moeller. Brendon did several releases over the year and here comes the next Bomb!!
These tracks were recorded in autumn of 2016 in Brendon's
home studio that is conveniently located in the basement of his home in upstate New York.
The tracks were made using a combination of Hardware and Software. The protocol, well, sync all machines via midi and CV and then jam. Once a jam seems to take on a form he multitrack record all elements in Ableton and then create a nal arrangement and mix down.

Normal Bias are two good friends - Yac and 77 - who both went through punk rebellion, death metal fumes, the fall of the Berlin Wall, and even managed to settle down in life. Along the way they listened to 80s/90s transformation period rebel vibes through a filter of dub - a sound and a tradition that they have always remained faithful to.

Each of them is highly regarded on the Polish dub/dub techno scene in their own right, and now they combine forces, skills and equipment to create a modern take on a sound that unites Studio One and Berlin's Chain Reaction legacies.

Beautiful, dreaming dub techno/house on the new Tiefenrausch label. Eine neue Perle im Dubtechno-Ozean. Tiefenrausch präsentiert die Welt der Dub-Fische und Deephouse-Quallen. Die Debut EP kommt von Tiefseetaucher Biodub. Der Hannoveraner All-Round Musiker kennt sich sehr gut aus in den tiefen Klangwelten der Musik. Als Drummer bei Noetics und mit seinem elektronischen Soloprojekt >Biodub< schafft er den perfekten Übergang zwischen akustischer und elektronischer Musik.

REPRESSED !!
Reissue of the ''Divinity'' EP by Walt J, originally released on Dow Records in 1997. This is the first release on the Walt J series on FIT.

The EIS HAUS crew fire out another track EP of deep Pyrenean techno and house

Hypercolour's Alex Jones & Ste Roberts team up with David Elkabas of 1Trax to deliver Initials, a new imprint which
kicks off with this release from Greenville Massive (backed with a remix from Troy Pierce). Future tracks and remixes
come from The Analogue Cops, Petre Inspirescu, Dj Linus and more:

For her Trolldans release, Skirt has chosen an arresting cover by John Bauer depicting a shining princess dressed all in white, seemingly revered by four trolls struck by her beauty. But as the title of the EP tells, it's a Mirage. When the music starts, you just know the trolls are done for. Because while there's certainly light in this EP, it's not a warm glow emanating from a sweet little princess. No, it's a ghostly shiver of light emanating from a dark and forgotten place where no light ought to be found at all. Skirt creates visions of thick fog rising from insidious marshes; a mourning veil caught in a dead tree in a deserted graveyard; a massive dust-covered church organ playing for itself in a long crumbled chapel. But there's a clear sense of pace and motion too: below the sweeping, eerie sounds there are beats of stuttering hearts and shaking bones triggering bodily movement. Lakker adds to this with their heavy, pulsating remix, and even brings some playfulness to the table before they too descends into complete darkness. This is a haunted record. A true Mirage.

"The computer is my instrument and the mobile phone recorder my accomplice. Sample-based composition, improv and recordings - random moments, deconstructing context, fragmenting intonations, social interactions, textures, human behavior, surfaces, surroundings, other realities and possibilities. I settle in the realms of subjectivity.
Hidhawk is the musical alter ego of Haydeé Jiménez. The Mexican-based artist and cultural entrepreneur is running a busy life organizing events and cultural projects alongside the border of Mexico and the US. During the night, bedtime stories like Alpagain evolve from the field recordings she is collecting on her various journeys. Alpagain consists of recordings from Istanbul, Tijuana, Berlin and Salzburg, featuring sounds of alpine instruments such as the alphorn, ocarina and hammered dulcimer ( Hackbrett').
The 15 minutes track is brought to the club context on the B-side of the record with a driving remix by Gerald Peklar and a dub retreatment by Analog Solutions mastermind Eduardo De La Calle.

2nd release out for Australian based Trinitys solo project, with two remixes from no other than Luke Hess and Stojche this EP makes a strong edition to the OOC Record Label.

Inaugural release from Bokhari Records offshoot SORN, for explorations into techno, ambience & crunchy cosmic dirt. SORN takes its name from the alien race in the CS Lewis Space Trilogy.
Black Merlin is no stranger to creating music for other worlds and offers two industrial monsters for proper systems and then finishes it off with the beautiful and aptly titled Orbit.

Ricardo Donoso brings his triptych of releases to a close with this remix EP, bringing in five diverse and respected artists to pick tracks for re-working. Yves De Mey opens proceedings with a nerve-wracking, midnight black take on 'The Sphinx' which slowly builds through layers of skittering synths, while Recondite, hot on the heels of his Hinterland album, brings 'Diagonal Environment' straight to the floor with a driving 4/4 that adds a solid backbone to proceedings.On the flip, Subtext figurehead Paul Jebanasam offers up the most abstract cut on the record withthe dark and winding 'Affirmation' remix complete with intricate compositional elements and blasting cinematics, while John Tejada offers a club-ready version of 'The Redeemer' before Andreas Tilliander's TM404 provides an acid-soaked take on 'Open Drawer, Full of Masks' .

Its limited & handstamped & vinyl only ! The concept: just a drum machine and a synth - pure analogue dj-tools!

Second release from San Fran's VOLTAGE MUSIC. PROFESSOR SMITH is the cofounder of XLR8R mag and known for his elctro DJ sets. The A-side is asinister, throbbing electro cut. The B-side is the stand out track, withwarped dub-electro twists and turns, dope synths and tech rhythms.

Having just released a chart topping EP on vinyl only imprint UWAGA, in collaboration with label owner Martin Dacar, Valencian born Bolumar is back with an exquisite four track composition on London based Act Natural Records.

Poise EP is indeed an elegant, balanced release, showcasing Bolumar's excellent production skills and his ability to morph minimal elements into full, expressive and exciting tunes.

The EP begins with Poise', featuring talented Thomas Gandey, who has released on labels like Planet E and Rekids. The tune has an infectious rhythm with groovy samples, a great minimal track which showcases both Thomas and Bolumar's great knowledge and intuition when it comes to composing, as the synths and vocals blend perfectly together and the percussion leads the way.

The second track, Sabeth Swing', follows seamlessly and keeps the delayed synths which will be present throughout the EP, offering a certain kind of spacey feel as the analog and tech sounds alternate.

Side B changes the pace to a faster rhythm, as "EvoO 000" unfolds with its titillating vocals and funky synths, only to slow again with Es Vedra Sunset', a beautiful atmospheric track which perfectly concludes the whole EP, containing all the elements which set Poise EP apart - its artful blend of differing samples and synths married with the deep and immersive layers exploring the minimal, analog side of electronic music.

The release has already gained support from Rekids' label boss Radioslave and Nils Weimann (Subtil Records)

The danish label Echocord Records was formed 15 years ago this year by Kenneth Christiansen. It will now be celebrated with a compilation plus a big tour around it. We are super happy and proud that we can still continue releasing quality electronic music.
The compilation contains 10 tracks from 10 artists that all have been releasing on Echocord and Echocord Colour before from veterans Mikkel Metal, Deadbeat, Fluxion to newer signed artist Arovane.
All tracks are new and unreleased.
"15 Years With Echocord" covers the typical Echocord sound. From ambinet/chillout by STL, stoned dub by Beat Pharmacy, to typical Dub-Techno and House from Fluxion, Resoe and XDB, to the more dancefloor peak tracks by Mike Dehnert and Deadbeat.
Lets do another 15 years .

* Robert Henke is back with a new album under his Monolake alias. Instead of simply being a collection of tracks, it has a deeper story. Here it comes:
* In the late 1970s, a series of significant enhancements in technology further accelerated the evolution of the digital age. Graphical interfaces, networked computers and new software tools allowed to design and manufacture integrated circuits with tens of thousands of functions on one chip; a process called Very Large Scale Integration - VLSI. The structures became so complex, that for the first time computers were needed to build the next generation of even faster computers.
* As a result of that evolution, the heart of a computer could now be put onto a single chip - the microprocessor was born. It made possible the move from large mainframe systems to personal computers, allowed teenagers to build systems in garages and become billionaires, gave birth to the game industry, and also enabled the creation of completely new electronic musical instruments: digital sound generators, drum machines, samplers and effects.
* Most of the signature sounds on the VLSI album were programmed using early digital synthesisers; machines built by individuals or small teams of adventurous engineers and music enthusiasts during the 1980s, stretching the imagination of what could be done with a handful of chips and a good idea.
* The VLSI album is sonic archeology. Tiny artefacts of the instruments used have been carefully excavated and brought to new light. What was once perceived as limitation and dirt can now be experienced as character, colour and patina. The interaction with these machines guided a minimalist and structural approach to sound and rhythm, expanded and re-contextualised into a futuristic soundtrack, utilising the recording technology of 2016. The result is inspired by early techno, UK breakbeat and dubstep, african dance rhythms, future glitch, ambient and a variety of amazing academic computer music.
* The concept for VLSI emerged during an artist residency at the Center for Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA) at Stanford University in 2013, which helped me understand not only some deeper technical aspects of my trade, but also the social and cultural peculiarities of Silicon Valley.
* Thus, the VLSI album is also a reflection of very present social, economic and political topics driven by high tech companies more powerful than governments. The dystopian undercurrent in the music is deliberate.
* Some of the 'historic' instruments used:
* Alesis Quadraverb Dynacord DRP-20 Emu Systems SP-12 Turbo Ensoniq ASR-10R Eventide Eclipse H3000 Lexicon PCM-80 480L Korg DDD-1 Linn Linn Drum NED Synclavier II Oberheim Xpander PPG Wave2.3 Quantec Yardstick SCI Prophet VS Yamaha DX27 DX7
* VLSI marks the endpoint of a series of six EPs, released between 2014 - 2016. The source material from these EPs has been re-arranged and augmented for the album, with additions of previously unreleased pieces.

Innocent Music presents first vinyl release with their best artists in a great various compilation!

Second release from the brand new label of the much sought after, Funk E.

Growin Music is a new experimental & atmospheric label who's second release comes courtesy of Samuel André Madsen aka S.A.M.

The 'Obsidian Falls' EP from Seattle's Josef Gaard sits at a very fascinating but incredibly complimentary space between traditional techno tendencies and freeform ambient composition and experimentation. Each track seamlessly references each other providing a straightforward sense of cohesion while maintaining a constant and aggressively progressive motion. The EP will guide and gently coerce the listener into experiencing a somewhat altered perspective on sonic and musical expression. Without much notice the listener will effortlessly travel from point "A" to point "C" without realizing they've ever touched on point "B".

As was the case with Blankstairs alum, Archivist, Josef Gaard has played an integral role in the development of the foggy and seemingly bleak techno leaning sounds coming out of Seattle and the surrounding Pacific Northwest as of late. As a curator and active resident for the Secondnature crew Gaard has shared bills with Abdulla Rashim, Silent Servant, Israel Vines, Heatsick, and Mick Finesse among many others. The 'Obsidian Falls' EP is his debut 12" release and a rather successful statement on adventurous music targeted for the mind and the body.

ULTRAMARINE have history. As far as track records go, theirs is as close to perfection as you can get ... but you can go knock yourself out on Google for that - we're not here to talk about yesterday. Today, Ian Cooper and Paul Hammond give us ACID and BUTCH - two timeless trax with an eye on tomorrow...

Our fourth vinyl release features four mixes sampled from the stunning 'Album 86 Future Past Frequencies' produced by German born Metaxa aka SiliCCon Groovees.

Out with a bang, 'Blitz Magic' is the final release in the Jose Padilla 'Too Many Colours' campaign from International Feel. A carefully curated project, from the selection of producers working on the album (Mark Barrott, Wolf Müller, Tornado Wallace, Telephones, I:Cube and Dream 2 Science), superior productions and remixes to boot, through to the beautiful artwork. Now it draws to a beautiful close. 'Blitz Magic' a Telephones production is the perfect club track to follow the wondrous 'Lollipop'. The original of 'Blitz Magic' is a lovely balearic ride that feels the influence of the all time classic 'E2E4' or in turn 'Sueno Latino'. It has now been placed in the hands of Tambien and Deetron for remix duties. Tambien are a trio from Munich. They are the Bartellow and Public Possession pair Marvin & Valentino who have released on various labels but in recent times ESP Institute and their own Public Possession. They create that intriguing mix where intelligent meets club music such as their Jil Thunder Light Remix. Deetron is an awardwinning Swiss producer and DJ that keeps his soul in Detroit and his heart in warm techno. This sound is perfectly shown in his stripped down remix cleaning out the drums and taking it back to pure club values. As Autumn arrives it feels the perfect time to release this third single from Padilla, the last in a beautiful string of releases that for International Feel have perfectly encompassed the Balearic sound as it is now. Play loud and you'll get the benefits.

José P adilla is loved by many for his work soundtracking sunsets at the Café Del Mar and compiling the seminal Café Del Mar compilations which sold over six million copies. His fans are wide and varied, on one end of the spectrum you have Madonna or Karl Lagerfeld, and on the other DJ legends such as Harvey and Andrew Weatherall. His new album ' So Many Colours' was released on International Feel earlier this summer to great acclaim and is regarded as the most forwardthinking Balearic album of the year.
FEEDBACK
I played it loud, Tambien mix is beautifully bizarre. - Mark E
Deetron mix is magical - a organic knights of the jaguar .. - Terry Farley
Simply brilliant. Loooove both mixes. Thanks a lot - Laurent Garnier

Alessandro Crimi`s Quantum Realm is the much-loved dub techno track appeared on our last Etui Winter Camp 2 compilation. Long term Etui Records label artist and Abstract Animal founder Monomood delivered 2 massive remixes for this track.
With the first edit he turns the track into a floor orientated techno trip while his 2nd edit offers a more dub vibe with stunning echoes. On the flip side Switzerland based producer Alessandro Crimi shows his love for laid-back techno sound with his Space Cocktail. Etui Records label head Insect O. added some shuffling grooves, dub deepness and analogue flavor in his remix to work well on the dancefloor and even at the beach bar.

Conceived at a poignant intersection of Killawatt's existence, the Fazed EP evokes an introverted and pedantic nature, tailored for the individual over the collective. Produced during a period of self-reflection and change, the EP signifies a positive gear selection in the mind-set and approach to sound design and music as a whole. A period of sustained momentum and the challenging of previous attitudes resulted in Killawatt consciously isolating himself from specific negativity in and around him, Through forced positivity, elimination of destructive environments and a more embracing approach to introversion, inner thoughts and sentiments are brought to the fore and expose a rarely seen fragility unaffected by external influence. Remixes provided by Bristol based, Peng Sound boss Ossia and Berlin Atonal favourites Sergie Rezza (DJ Deep & Roman Poncet)+

Tripping Dub Tekkno excursion, in full extended versions from Stockholm's own - Isaac Spayes. Dug out from his archives, 150 copies worldwide, no digital sales.

Debut release on the new Kaleidoscope Jazz Chair Reissues label. First release contains some beautiful and well crafted dubbed out techno by Kit Clayton with his 1998 'Deadlock' tune originally released as the B2 on the 4-Track 'Unreliable Networks' EP (on Silent Servant's label 'Cytrax'), it slipped under many a record buyer's radar. Nearly 20 years later, now that electronic musical tastes have matured and expanded, the time seemed right to re-present, this lush, atmospheric, percussive work out to the heads, deservedly pressed on a full side of 12" Vinyl. Pussy Clap was originally released on the Remote label, set up by Charles Webster, and featured House music predominantly written by Charles and Neil Tolliday, better known as Nail. Jorge Felucca was the alias that Neil used when creating the more dubbed out, techy tracks for the label. Sounding somewhat like a deep house take on Maurizio, 'Pussy Clap' was also released in '98, but had since fallen into obscurity, and the time had come for it to be rejuvenated and polished with an amazing remaster by Pole for the modern ear that is a dramatic improvement on the original.

For their tenth release Appian Sounds move back to a full artist EP and introduce us to the world of o.utlier. The London newcomer delivers four moving productions that will take you on a cerebral journey through delays and phased pads, reminiscent of early Basic Channel/Maurizio recordings. o.utlier signs, with this accomplished 12", a remarkable debut!
As always, limited to 300 hand-numbered copies worldwide. No repress. No digital.

Order / Decay is the first release of Falling Ethics, the Berlin based label managed by P.E.A.R.L.

The story of Turmfalke continues, this time featuring Helly Larson with a great dub flavoured track called "Rescue Me" programmed in a deep downtempo manner and acompannied by an acidish remix of Matthias Springer. The original of Matthias comes based on detroit elements and a gentle 303 string while Helly's remix made it into a synthesis of deep techhouse and directly into the playlist of Mr. Hawtin!

* Blackwater is honoured and proud to present a very special release, in our production catalogue number as 'BWL000', released digitally and on vinyl in a very limited edition. A single side EP with a screen-print on the reverse with a suggestive image of the sea of 'Capalbio', a town intimately connected with the rise of Blackwater Society.

* The EP will be initially presented at the 2016 edition of the FLUSSI FESTIVAL where Blackwater began its music journey two years ago starting right from 'Capalbio' and starting musically from that first piece 'Il Mare Di Capalbio' produced by Devianza owner of the label,who made this as homage for FLUSSI. 'Il Mare Di Capalbio' finally will see the light, being pressed on vinyl support exactly in the same month, in the same festival together with the same people that represent the soul of the label releasing the original track and the two different versions of artists PRG/M and Phorm organisers and curators of this fantastic electronic music festival that is considered one of the reference pin of the Italian underground scene.

* Devianza version is a slow, deep and sentimental piece that opens and closes with the sound sampling of the sea taken during the summer 2014. The piece was also written following the musical structure according to the Fibonacci pattern creating a particular rhythmic structure in the central part of the piece. Follows PRG / M version, tool track of high calibration and invoice, definitely more suited to the dance floor for a set with hypnotic and deep veins. Closes the EP Phorm with his experimental version, an high quality production, as usual for him on Blackwater, that put the hat on top of the entire EP giving a complete spectre of selection for the listener.

Four-tracker EP of tracks I found on an allegedly refurbished hard drive I ordered on Russian eBay. Hand-printed linocut outer sleeve. The Dark Past Side is for you at home: A1 is a slow burning, melancholic acid track, A2 an atmospheric ambient excursion. The Bright Future Side on the fip, on the contrary, is made for the club: B1 is a house banger with one of the most fun breaks in a long time, B2 brings you the summer right onto your turntable.

Stepping up for the second release on his own Transcendent label, the unstoppable Conforce offers up four more tracks of studiously deep and moving music that is as filmic as it is atmospheric. His Travelogue EP features four cuts that continue ion the Dutchman's fine tradition of fusing moods and grooves in submerged and aqueous ways.

Maeve 09 is a special record. It welcomes the return of one of the founding members of the label, Baikal. Although the Dutchman has had somewhat of a hiatus from releasing music, his hard work and struggle with the process of creating forward thinking electronic music has always continued. Pelican's Flight' reaps the rewards of this carefully nurtured process and proves most definitely it was worth the wait.

The title track Pelican's Flight' is a mesmerizing ten-minute techno trip. A throbbing kick drum is decorated with sparkling synth lines all moving on their own orbit creating a trance like effect on the dance floor. The pinnacle of the trip hears rasping chords blast through the swell in a glorious moment of elation, in short this is a bomb.

The B-side All Forces Occur In Pairs' goes deeper again, drawing the listener into a similar hypnotic state. Various sonic ideas breathe in and out of the foreground creating a swirl of expectancy and excitement. This track will cause you to close your eyes and be carried away to another dimension...

Maeve are honored to add this record to their repertoire.

Pariah returns to R&S for his third single.His debut 'Detroit Falls/Orpheus' marked a turning point for the label, as it turned its attention to a young, new breed of producers on its doorstep in London. The follow up 'Safehouses' doublepack found him mining his influences further and developing his sound over six tracks and became one of the labels most celebrated and best selling recent releases.
Since then he has collaborated with Blawan on the Karenn project which has spawned DJ appearances at the best clubs in Europe, vinyl only releases, remixes and a forthcoming live show, and also delivered one of the stand out tracks to the IOTDXI compilation with 'Left Unsaid'.
The initial blueprints for the three tracks on this new release were created from sampling short wave radio recordings, not the most obvious starting point for making tracks, but Pariah isn't your average or obvious producer. He's gradually building a canon of evocative, beautiful and honest music that is quite rightly receiving both critical and commercial acclaim.

Budapest scene lynchpin, S. Olbricht debuts on Lee Gamble's UIQ label with a sweetly compatible quartet of chiming ambient techno and woozy house trax in the wake of his latest Lobster Theremin LP, For Perfect Beings.
As the label's 4th release after 12's by N1L, Zuli, Lanark Artefax - also counting the recent launch of Lee G's UIQ Inversions series, the ZZM EP rolls deeper into those lip-smacking,
thizzing ends of the night with a key subtlety and firm-but-light touch that works so well on tenderised minds and bodies.
These tracks rank among S Olbricht's most seductive and hypnagogic. From the Terence Dixon-like harmonic suspension systems of 137x3brk and the ruddier, out-of-reach rumble and flickering rim shots embedded in the chasmic headspace of Ktyring on the A-side, thru to wire-woolly texture and glowing chord filaments laced into the 110bpm slug, J_UC.
Finally, the gracefully tilted techno elevation Floa1 which could easily be mistaken as the work of label boss Lee Gamble closes the rotations of side B.

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.

Originally Released on Echocord on 27 August 2012. Transcendent Records finally releases this much wanted ambient techno album by Conforce aka Silent Harbour, completely remastered for vinyl. Boris Bunnik expresses "music for an imaginary deep mental abstract excursion" under the Silent Harbour moniker for Transcendent/Echocord. As his multifarious operations have shown, Boris is a dab hand in the studio, and Silent Harbour is the place to find those machine emissions which would never quite reach the 'floor. Operating on the cusp of ambient Techno and electro-acoustic music, he shapes sheer scapes from elemental source material, rendering his sounds diffuse until we glimpse hallucinatory tones in the gloaming dissonance. 4/4 anchored rhythms are fractured, percussions sent to scout the perimeters while the vast space between becomes playground to radiant metallic timbres and strafing electronic apparitions. Music for Techno heads to fall into when the kicks are too much. White vinyl 2x12", limited to 300 copies!

- Killer industrial dub reductions, noise & mutant techno recorded to tape and pressed on wax - Edition of 200 copies - Henrik Rylander and iDEAL label boss Joachim Nordwall.

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 a debut ep and a deep second one this time Carlo Zanelli has released a six tracks ep based upon a recording session done a couple of years before.
Every track have his unique character and the entire ep is intended more as a journey rather than a collection of different tracks making this a complete work ranging from ambient tracks to more danceable ones.

EP run six tracks , three for each side , ranging from deep house to electro and back.
Childhood , a warm house piece opens A side , whereas an eletroish track called Patient X will follow.
On the flip side, Space 2000, an hypnotic dance floor oriented tune, opens the triptych and the EP is closed by Sunrise,
a melodic 90ish IDM track.

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.

Moudaber goes deep.... Yes, our beloved MOOD leader returns home with her latest single and a track that may surprise some, as Nicole gets her Dub on.

Known for her fierce and electrifying prime time sets and powerful personal productions, Nicole is equally adept and at home building the floor and atmosphere from the very first beat. New single, Her Dub Material, is the perfect soundtrack for those early hours and takes influence from Nicole's love for deep, warm, fathomless bass. Mysterious and yet inviting, Her Dub Material is built upon an unswerving groove. Strong, elegant and hypnotic.

Staying true to the original whilst enticing with his own percussive flair is Argentinian producer Guti. Spanish sensation Marino Canal, fresh from his own full release on MOOD, mesmerises with his own steady tempo and synth laden breaks, before Alex Tepper closes the mix package by upping the ante further, whilst never losing the original's groove.
