Techno Vinyl New Releases - News

Nastia presents Lee Holman's latest EP on her rising record label "NECHTO".

As an artist whose music is firmly rooted in techno, Lee is not shy of mixing the broad range of sounds the genre presents. When taking his machines on an auditory journey, the music producer strongly depends on his inner self and aims to stir a range of feelings through his work.

With a focus on the dancefloor in terms of its rhythm, the "Footprints on the Moon" EP released via "NECHTO", delves into the theme of the cosmos. The experience one has on the dance floor is set side by side with a dream-like voyage through the infinite galaxy. The EP also includes a vocoder - the first time the artist has used such an element in his music production.

In terms of the process, completing the EP took 18 months of hard and diligent work. "I had to dig very deep working on this EP. I made so many tracks throughout the process to arrive at something that worked for the label, Nastia and myself", says Lee. "I worked night and day and in between, while out of the studio, listened back to my day's work over and over, finding the small details and making mental notes on what to target for my next studio session. It was a process."

Belgium techno powerhouse Amelie Lens returns with her third release on her celebrated imprint LENSKE. Hot in the heels of an explosive mix CD on fabric last November, her four-hour Essential Mix on BBC Radio 1 in April (the longest one since 1997) as well as a hit lockdown livestream, she delivers a hard-hitting EP entitled 'Higher' featuring her usual propensity for dark sounds and haunting vocals. Due to the current circumstances, she has unfortunately had to put on hold a summer full of festival appearances at the likes of Timewarp, Awakenings, Primavera Sound, Junction 2, Kappa Future, Sonus, and an extended tour with her Exhale curated parties with her own stage at Tomorrowland and OFFSonar, to name a few. This EP showcases Lens' sound and energy while we wait to dance together again.

On the A side we have the euphoric title track, in which melodic synthwork and familiar vocal inflections echo into the far reaches of a cosmic dance floor. Next is 'L'Obscurite', which shocks with an hypnotic pulse, combining an appetite for the mystifying with sonic bleeps and booms. On the B side features an emotive sub-bass rework of 'Higher' by Berlin's techno boyband FJAAK, swindling a multi-layered rave version. For the hungry ravers, this will be a fiery

treat for the ears.

Combining spectral atmospheres with ruthlessly combative rhythms, rough textures, and harsh industrial elements, Hybral and Lesser Of create a dark techno epos of the netherworld for their joint release "Split Identities".

Organic Analogue makes it to double figures with a sublime new split EP from HVL and Gacha Bakradze. The A-side is opened up with 'Infinitesimal', a stripped back and icy bit of minimal dub techno, then 'AgneffC01' gets more rhythmically physical with scattered beats and hits and 'Collective Genius' is tense, kinetic techno with a real sense of paranoia. 'Routes' is the first B-side joint with Gacha Bakradze bringing some direct but economical drum machine grooves under meticulous percussion and then 'Chain' layers smeared cosmic pads with twitchy details and 'Widow' ends with a heavy heart.

This record is named after Vedyanta, an ancient philosophy based on the Vedas, the sacred scriptures of India. The music, originally composed and produced by Joseph S Joyce and later remixed by Sebastian Mullaert of Minilogue, was greatly inspired, after reading commentaries from Swami Rama Tirtha's biography "The Scientist & Mahatma" - Chapter 1 - Vedanta and The Secret of Success. Now, some nine years later, it gets served up as a remix EP.

There's a dark El Choop Reconstruct, a gorgeous ambient version from Sebastian Mullaert, a minimal headscape from Van Bonn, Federson SF goes warm and dubby and then a crisp, tech-edged vibe from Paul 90 ends the EP in style.

The new reference of INDUSTRIAS MEKANIKAS is signed by another great artist of the electro scene, KONERYTMI is who gives name to the seventh reference of the Madrid label, which continues betting on this new release by sounds to the purest electro.

Voimalaitos EP is the title of this new work of KONERYTMI, where he prints all his character in 6 tracks that will shake the dance floors, broken bases and dark bass lines that will hypnotize you and will not let you stop dancing.

Red Vinyl

Time has come for Futurepast to release a long format album: Alarm Phase Red - catalogue number FPLP01 - will be the first full-length work from Futurepast founder Davy Vandegaer, appearing here under a new name: Brainwashed Today.

Rooted in a conceptual approach of electronic music, this double LP ranges from industrial ambient to experimental techno. Like an antidote to a twisted reality of controlled screens and mental isolation, Alarm Phase Red uses the raw language of electricity
to reach the core of the machine and sabotage it, reverse its effects by mirroring them. Fighting fire with fire, deflecting the pressure and strain of a world driven by fear and anger, the music of Brainwashed Today acts like a cathartic escape from technological enslavement.

With the purchase of the vinyl comes a batch of three digital bonus tracks pursuing further the sound research of the album.

Oráculo Records joins forces with Banshees Records to release the vinyl debut of the spaniard act JG OUTSIDER. In between futuristic industrial, electro, ebm and new beat sounds, JG OUTSIDER sound is harsh and fresh, as well as rhythmic but experimental, you could expect all that at the same time. This debut EP comes with four original tracks plus one blasting remix by our berlinese partner in crime SKELESYS, a darky plastic bomb ready to fire up any darky dance floor. Comes presented in a one-off truly limited edition of 300 copies lacquered pressed on 180gr. high quality solid black vinyl. All tracks have been specially remastered for long cut vinyl by Daniel Hallhuber at Young and Cold Studios.

Manni Dee returns to Perc Trax for the release of 'A Low Level Love', his second full album following on from 'The Residue' released in 2018 by Berlin techno institution Tresor. Manni opened his Perc Trax account back in 2017 with his 'Throbs Of Discontent' 12" which featured his breakout hit 'London Isn't England' and since then he's become Perc Trax regular releasing his recent 'Everyone's Replaceable Now' 12" plus his 'Gulabi Gang' contribution to first of the 'Forever' various artists series. During this time Manni has gone from a cult UK favourite to being internationally recognised, performing all around the world.

On 'A Low Level Love' Manni expands on both his previous album and his recent run of Perc Trax releases, mixing his trademark club techno rhythms with broken beat and non-dance floor outings. 'No More Heroes' and 'You Don't Always Get What You Want' see Manni at his most melodic and introspective, whilst the storm of kick drums on 'Closer' shows a new intensity and aggression to Manni's music even when compared to the heaviest of his previous releases.

Guest slots and collaborations can often detract from the artistic vision of an album, but Manni chooses his co-conspirators well, with vocalist Sylph adding a human element to album opener 'Persist & Change' and London acid techno legend Chris Liberator providing both vocals and some of the inspiration for club hit in waiting 'London In My System'.

'A Low Level Love' will be released by Perc Trax on 17th June on 2 x 12" vinyl, CD and digital. The album was mastered by Matt Colton at Metropolis, London. The front cover photography was taken by Bruna Kazinoti and design was handled by Adult Art Club.

(Early support from James Ruskin, Cio D'Or , Kr!z, & Ben Sims) Constantly searching, not wishing an end, prefer a surprise, not everything planned, so you will always be in the new age of earth.

Orange Marbled Vinyl

The Stone Techno series continues. We come to the third release of the unique project, where each artist has contributed one track exclusively created from a huge sample bank of incomparable stone and mineral sounds. Due to the first talks with Dr. Achim Reisdorf from the Ruhr Museum, we didn't have any idea that this whole series would get such a positive reputation. And especially shown on the "Orthorhombic EP", it also can be used as a door opener for talented artists like our Stone Techno Challenge winner Emil Baghino.

However, one thing after another. The four-tracker A-Side is reserved for not one but two fresh Berlin based duos: it starts with some tight-punching breaks by FJAAK and leads into the second track, a driven techno tool by Inhalt der Nacht & Tham, which definitely deserves the word "industrial".

On the B-Side the techno train stays on the rail with deep hypnotic vibes by Jamaica Suk and last but not least, a real-effective dance floor banger by Emil Baghino. Now enjoy the superb track selection on this and be ready for the fourth and currently last release of the Stone Techno Series.

Each release is limited to 300 copies (180gr marbled 12" Vinyl, Full Cover Print).

We are pleased to announce Cousin’s NAFF debut, Second Message.

Drawing inspiration from the rich sounds of neighboring bushland, the Australian artist and Moonshoe founder composes deeply vivid body music with an intricate approach to dubwise construction. We are grateful to share this music with you here.

Erol Engintalay's Monomotion project is back with a thrilling new collection of tunes. Sides is an energizing and iridescent trip down the echoing, cavernous halls of dub techno, instantly conjuring the
type of late nights and dark, crowded rooms that this music is meant to soundtrack. His first release in three years, Engintalay showcases a new set of talents on Sides, an affirmation of this special artist’s
stylistic versatility as well as a gesture towards what’s to come from him.
Sides follows 2019’s Fujisan, which captured Engintalay’s capability for crafting shimmering, gorgeous tapestries of electronic music. This time around, he’s turned towards his love of four-to-thefloor dance music—a stylistic shift inspired by time spent DJing in Paris last summer. “I wanted to get back to my origins,” he says while talking about the new sonic direction, exclaiming a sentiment
shared by dance fans the world over: “I missed playing clubs and DJing!” “It brought me back to why I wanted to make music to begin with,” Engintalay reflects on a particular
experience of spinning atop a Parisian terrace. “I wanted to bring the club back to my compositions.” After years of working with the famed Fruity Loops software, he switched to Ableton Live and
discovered a whole new array of sounds within the production software that unlocked previously unknown potential in his music.
Indeed, the title of Sides is a gesture towards Engintalay’s boundless sense of discovery when it comes to creating in the studio. “I can do a lot of different styles, I’m very versatile,” he explains.
“Right now, I’m into club music, which is the music I love. I still hold the groove and the rhythm close to my heart.”
“Mirage” percolates with the effervescence of classic Kompakt material, while the rubbery rhythms that course through “Echoes” are utterly entrancing—and then there’s the huge-sounding title track,
which patiently builds over nearly eight minutes to a purely ecstatic peak. “It’s a banger of a track,” Engintalay marvels while talking about the song. “I imagine it being played at a warehouse with tons
of people and sweating walls. It brings me a massive feeling.”
And bringing that massive feeling is what Sides is all about, as Engintalay explains that exercising these new creative muscles might sound different, but in the end it’s all about his own personal love
of exploring new worlds of sound. “I love to make different kinds of music, and with this project my approach hasn’t changed—I’m just doing what I love,” he says, and when it comes to Sides, you’ll
find his enthusiasm contagious as a listener.

San Francisco is most often associated with the cartoon sounds of DirtyBird when it comes to electronic music but Federsen offers up some deliciously deep dub techno here. He joins the Lempuyang stable and brings with him plenty of fine Maurizio influences from the off: 'Rotation' is all grainy pads and lo-fi drum loops , 'Noir' has a more silky and minimal tech house feel and 'Expiravit' brings a classic dub sound. The closing track 'Aeon' is perfect for late night smoking sessions.

Following on from the success of Capriati's album Self Portrait, 4 tracks have been hand selected by some of techno's hottest producers. Dubfire, Coyu, Julian Jeweil, Luigi Madonna have each incorporated the same feeling that Joseph laid out in his original productions, but have added a unique twist that breathes a new lease of life into the tracks.

Swedish producer Ola Obergman has been at the top of his game for over 20 years now, dropping superb electro on the finest labels. Last year he dropped a fantastic full-length album on Pariter, but now steps up to Infiltrate with a direct dance floor offering.

'Norma Cluster' pairs busy drums and bass with more atmospheric leads before 'Invariant Hyperbola' has a perfectly crisp boom-bap that is run through with synth sequences that get your head amongst the stars. 'Sterile Neutrino' is more raw and ragged with another irresistible rhythm and 'Dragonfly44' closes in a thoughtful fashion.

It's really hard to say whether UMEK is going back in time with his Alba Patera alter ego or is he exercising his futuristic self. It's also hard to say if the four tracks in his newest EP Collinearity will make you scream, frown or maybe even climax (multiple times). In any case, handle with care to avoid injuries...

Peggy Gou’s Gudu Records steps into 2022 with Brain De Palma’s second EP for the label, Purple Brain.

Although this is only his second release under the Brain De Palma name, Alexei Versino has been honing his sound for the best part of a decade, both solo (as Panama Keys) and as one half of the duo Stump Valley, previously releasing on labels like Dekmantel, Soul Clap and Off Minor. Born in Ukraine but settling as a child in Turin, he’s currently based in Berlin and makes up a key part of the Gudu stable.

Coming straight out the gate with an instantly impactful bassline, opening track ‘IQarus’ sets the tone for the rest of Purple Brain: bold melodies and basslines shot in high-definition, full of detail and idiosyncrasies. As with his last EP for Gudu, cinema is a key reference for Brain de Palma: ‘IQarus’ is a reference to his directorial namesake’s first film, while later in the EP, ‘(O.W.D.) Once Were Dancers’ nods to the 1994 drama Once Were Warriors, “dedicated to all the ravers, DJs, aficionados who had to go through the lockdowns … a shout out to people who keep on fighting for the underground culture!”

Elsewhere on the EP, ‘Purple Brain’ pairs an unforgettable arpeggio with stargazing stabs and a marching cowbell beat, while the Netherlands’ Deniro takes ‘IQarus’ into the depths of the night with a cosmic remix that grabs hold of a groove and refuses to let go.

“Devil’s Work is the younger sibling to Chris Farrell’s long running Idle Hands label. Dancefloor focused, direct and to the point House and Techno tracks. Exuberant music drawing inspiration from the UK and further afield.

The first release comes from Bristol based Human Resources, last seen working with Techstartup as Floral Resources and The Business. They can also be found co-running Lisvane Records.

These three tracks riff off the same theme. Fast paced, skeletal and intensely rhythmic.”

Starting out in 2001 as a mere compilation series to tie up some loose ends from our regulars, SPEICHER has since become a guarantee for vanguard dance sounds from all over the planet, allowing KOMPAKT to invite and support electronic artists that comfortably inhabit both the delicate and the more deliberate ends of the electronic music spectrum. For SPEICHER 75, label staple and world-venerated club juggernaut KÖLSCH returns to the series with two expectedly masterful epics for the discerning floor. We're quite used to the sight of even the most composed of crowds going strictly mental when Denmark's Rune Reilly KÖLSCH drops another one of his anthemic cuts during a live performance - just think of timeless masterpieces like the hallucinogenic LORELEY (KOMPAKT EXTRA 68), the slightly nutty OPA (KOMPAKT EXTRA 70) or the sumptuous ALL THAT MATTERS (FMX/ATM 001): with literally every single one of his tracks being a wildly popular DJ choice, the man behind the chartbusters certainly knows how to create an impact.

It's those highly emotive yet unimpeachably simple leads we love so much with KÖLSCH, and we're more than delighted to find them again in GOLDFISCH, a deliriously beautiful track full of shimmering pads and cinemascopic chords. A soaring trip to the eye of the storm, this will enchant hopers and mopers alike, making it the perfect primer for ZIG, the B-side's majestic prime time mover. Here, you'll find fizzy percussion and spanking disco riddims leading your way to melodic bliss, fleshing out a unique vista on a mythical place where the melancholic and the ecstatic meet as friends.

The 10010 Records is born tonight.

The man behind the label is Ksky, a Dj and a synth lover from Saint-Petersburg.

His unfabled vinyl-only ‘Underwater Tales’ are gathered on this debut-release.

Main track ‘Underwater Tales’ is pulsing dreamy 130 bpm house with cold 808's rhythm-section and warm Prophet 6 analog synthesis. Just like Gulf Stream, this combination creates something imperfect and vivid.

‘Bad Philly’ is a great banger. There's something epic in this simple track. The portal straight to the morning dancefloor.
The story told in one breath.

‘Metromono’. Loopy house track with 909's and 303's atmosphere. Listen to it and dream while the pictures are rapidly changing behind the window. You’ll never dream alone.

‘Look Back’ is an outro for this release. Because every tale needs an ending.

Breaking News! DJs Pareja and Matias Aguayo have joined to form the dance project MDM Factory!

Modern transcendental Techno music for those who know, and those who want to learn!

In a turmoil of events nightlife would change forever, and confined to their respective places - A flat in Buenos Aires and a house in the jungle Diego Irasusta, Mariano Caloso and Matias Aguayo joined forces to create new communication on distance via music.

Taking all their dance floor knowledge and dreaming of sound systems and togetherness in a better future, DJs Pareja & Aguayo put their minds, bodies and souls to work on this stunning EP that will please the forward thinking underground freaks as well as the big room techno pros.

Let’s dive into this divine mess of glorious dance floor jams from the future...

A1. Curvas Peligrosas

With the first track it becomes clear what this is all about: Wobbly metamorphous sounds from outer space jamming with stomping and bass driven techno beats of tomorrow, a new kind of rave, hypnotic and seductive, utterly strange but wonderfully catchy and contagious in a good sense, harsh shuffled hiatus and alternating kick drums, a relentless bassline and sophisticated electronic sounds in a a permanent evolution resembling and invoking altered states of consciousness.


A2. Love Boat

This new rave anthem seems like a classic you haven’t heard about. Muscle memories from dancefloor days trigger your body as you listen on your headphones, awaiting the chance to play it out soon, hopefully, as the dance floors slowly reopen. Alternating between parts of kickdrum, clap and snare awesomeness, and the mangled rave signals that slowly morph into a more concrete melody reminiscent of ancient dreams of the future, this track has it all for the club kids of today.

B1. La Vida Loca
The title track is a tech banger that will please those who dig Kenny Larkin, Claude Young, The Surgeon, Dave Clark or any other star in the nocturnal sky of Techno Techno, as well as the lovers of DJs Pareja’s classic Cómeme Clubbangers, or the more Techno side of Mr. Aguayo. Definitely has the potential to become a huge hit if enough djs that don’t rely on algorithms get their hands on it


B2. Las Llaves

The closer is hyper modern tech funk at its best. Percussive greatness as you can find it on many Cómeme releases is triggered in a different way, “sabroso” rhythms that are played in the light and purposeful way of an elegant jazz drummer, pave the way for an always evolving psychedelic lead synth sound, that will be a useful tool for the dj who knows when to keep the groove, prolonging those magic times between the risings...
