Techno Vinyl New Releases - News

From the depths of the all-devouring, yet everybody carrying floor, I catch sight of this being - no, just its silhouette - which, without recognizing what it is, much less perceiving its true nature, magically captivates my whole self. Getting closer, without converging. Fusing, or rather gaining certainty about being one already. We
are the beat, the moment, the synthesis.

Aus den Tiefen des alles verschlingenden, jeden tragenden Floors sehe ich diese Gestalt – nein, nur ihre Silhouette - die mich, ohne erkennen zu können, was es ist, geschweige denn wer, magisch in ihren Bann zieht. Ein Aufeinanderzugehen, ohne dass wir uns näherkommen. Ein Verschmelzen, oder vielmehr die Gewissheit bereits eins zu sein. Wir sind der Takt, der Moment, die Synthese.

The beginning of the sessions recorded between Psyk and Orbe and their first ep of a future saga took place in Madrid for a 3 months period improvising together in their respective studios. Unifying their sound and their hardware equipment, the ideaof this series is to get a vanguard, deep, organic and dancefloor oriented unique sound.

To round up the amazing debut-album of VX, we are extremely happy to present you the first part of the Fiction remix-package. Part 1 will feature two amazing, powerful and dancefloor-melting remixes by techno allstars Eric Sneo & Lars Klein

LIXTP, the collaboration between Love International Recordings and the Test Pressing website, yields its second release following 2021’s label debut from Fantastic Man.

This time it falls to Test Pressing founder Paul Byrne AKA Apiento to open 2023’s account with the simmering ‘Escape Reality’ EP.

Having carved out a prestigious career over the years, as A&R for Junior Boys Own, International Feel and Test Pressing labels, and releasing his own Apiento productions on Music For Dreams, World Unknown and World Building, Apiento goes in deep across six tracks of esoteric electronica and transcendental dance.

The influence of Detroit techno can be found in the complex drum work and dreamy synths of tracks like ‘Those Busy Circuits’ and ‘Axis’, whilst hedonistic dance vibes are served up on ‘Everything Move’. Presenting a broad palette of moods and tones, Apiento delivers an allencompassing release for lovers of the real electronic groove.

‘Escape Reality” by Apiento is released on Love International Recordings/Test Pressing from 10th February 2023.

Aubrey has always brought a detailed sense of sound design to his heavy techno. The Berlin-based artist does that again here on a first EP on his own Solid Groveos since 2016.

Two tracks delve into his archives to come up with some rare and obscure jams from the 90s. One is 'Lose Yourself' - a bright and cosmic take on techno that prime-era Derrick May would be proud of then the other, 'Breaking Out', offers golden US-style house with nice frayed synths and smoky depths. Two new cuts are 'Chase Mind' - a cavernous and dubby, with whimsical pads and unrelenting bass locking you in a trance, then 'Mr Muscle', a twisted acid techno closer that completes a varied and vital EP.

2023 Repress

"banging piece of sound art" - The Observer

"...a fascinating piece of Brutalist techno that pivots between crisp machine-like minimalism and granulated noise." - Clash

"A piece of immediately engaging techno it reveals more of itself with each listen." - CMU Daily

Nik Colk Void is well established with her work as one half of Factory Floor, one third of Carter Tutti Void (alongside Chris Carter and Cosey Fanni Tutti) and with the late Peter Rehberg as NPVR, but perhaps surprisingly, "Bucked up Space" is her first solo album release.

Void explains, "When Peter Rehberg initially asked me to produce a record for Editions Mego, I didn't feel quite ready and asked if we could make a record together instead. Collaboration is so ingrained into what I do, I only felt ready to make this album after working through ideas live, using the audience in place of the collaborator."

Bucked Up Space combines Void's love of improvisation with the driving force of beat-driven music absorbed from performing in galleries, residencies and clubs across the UK and Europe. She goes on to say, "You find out more about yourself when you explain your ideas to others, and that's how I felt the live performance worked for me."

The process steadily teased out a language and Void employed a variety of tactics in the recording process including a methodical approach of collecting data at her home studio in a manner not dissimilar to keeping a diary. Her microscopic focus on raw instrumental noise, layered and reformulated, resulted in a sound catalogue that Void divided into groups for their tone, density and texture.

These initial pieces were taken to a studio in Margate to put them into a more cohesive compositional context. Something that pragmatically started as cold and detached was given warmth, unity and emotion in the studio. Via improvised repetition co-existing alongside organised production, Void conjures new sonic muscle with tracks such as 'Interruption Is Good' and 'FlatTime'. Initial recordings are rendered into sequences initiating the organic rhythms, triggering awkward jerks of high hats and percussion, or used to activate the margins of post effects detectable in the tracks like 'Demna', 'Big Breather' and 'Oversized'.

Void explains: "It was important to me that the simplicity in the work disguised a lot of complexity, I want this work to be absorbed instinctively."

The sleeve image, a still from We Are City by Brazilian artist Maria de Lima, was chosen to illustrate Bucked Up Space, which Void describes as "a distorted reality, the space that lives at start of an idea, then floats in public view, before returning to inform my understanding of the idea. Once the idea is out in the world, it moves and morphs into something else entirely."

Written, performed and produced by Nik Colk Void, the album was engineered by James Greenwood, mastered by Rashad Becker and tracks 1, 4, 5, 7 and 9 were mixed by Marta Salogni.

Bucked up Space is the result of the ideas and resulting sounds of free exploration morphing into a personal structured album that fearlessly moulds patience, listening and restraint. It's a sharp focussed work embracing collective action through the lens of the self. All this, and also one of the best abstract dance records you will hear in some time!

Acid belgium sound, progressive and hypnotic offering skillz that only them knows !! BIG !

After a brief hiatus, the Oscilla Sound outfit return with a four-track EP from SPE:C and Well Street artist Significant Other. Residing in Brooklyn via the UK, the emerging artist is an intriguing producer whose releases on Darwin’s SPE:C and Fold’s Well Street Records label, along with his regular Club Night Club event, have provided refreshing sonic experiences to lovers of hybrid steppers, deep atmospheres and exploration.

‘Club Aura’ sees Significant Other team up with the UK imprint Oscilla Sound following exciting 12’s from E-Unity and Wilhelm back in 2017, which left a lasting impression on the dynamic, broken techno scene. ‘Club Aura’ is an obscure yet dreamy number featuring lazy low frequency plucks, an inviting sax line and wave-inspired ambience while ‘Mike’s Gone Back To Manchester’ lays focus on pulsating stabs, cold, syncopated percussion fused with shattering synths that patiently develop throughout.

On the flip, ‘Little Blue Pills’ makes way for undulant, rhythmic drums, stirring modulations and dub-tinged echoes paying homage to sound system culture, until ‘Drum Therapy’ takes it up a notch with blistering, breaky grooves, a sharp, meandering bassline and chaotic yet thrilling experiments in this scintillating, peak-time cut. ‘It’s warm inside the rave’.

During the pandemic shut down of 2020 we became absorbed and obsessed by one record in particular. That record, released digitally via Mexico City label N.A.A.F.I., was ‘Get Free’ by TYGAPAW, which features multidisciplinary artist Mandy Harris Williams. A complete body of work intersecting their musical and cultural roots, this is an 11-track collection of hard-hitting, cathartic energy, exploring black joy, the active dismantling of imagined limitations, and the eradication of self doubt using techno landscapes.

Upon learning that there was no plan to release the record on vinyl we started a conversation about making that happen on Mister Saturday Night Records.

Two years later and through numerous pressing delays we are honored to announce the belated release on two slabs of orange vinyl and updated artwork.

Full squad in action with 4 tracks that give colors and taste and fully describe vibes and sonorities of the decadence party!
A side starts with an Electro break tune from Konik Polny gypsy flavored sonorities with vocals from Lilly Pineapple
2nd track is once again a collab from Groove Daniel and FNTA ready for a tool techno banger

2022 is very special for Illegal Alien Records, the label turned 15 years old this year and we have a full schedule line up of incredible and very special releases with many great artists.

This is a 6 part series celebrating the 15 Years of Illegal Alien Records and includes a total of 60 exclusive tracks. We immensely thank all the great artists involved in this project for joining us in this celebration and contributing with their music to make this release very special. Over the years, some of the artists in this Compilation have already been part of our history, but some of them are joining us for the first time to be part of new chapters in our journey.

The first full ep on credo by folker zwart from amsterdam, and here we go with some modern techno amusement like a fresh breeze and showcasing the talent in here. while all the shades are undoubtly focussed on the dancefloor shade 1 is probably the most peaktime-like approach while shade 2 creates an amazing atmosphere with its pure and clean pads and sounddesign. shade 3 even crosses some slightly jazzy path and alltogether a perfect definition of the credo idea to present colors and not only shades.

Goli Mj, es el artista canario que encontramos en estos dos proyectos.

Funeral cave es Goli + Erik, nos trasladan a unas composiciones ancestrales repletas de grabaciones de campo sintetizadas y exprimidas para hacernos entrar en paisajes a caballo entre un IDM más seco fluyendo en un trance más próximo al electro.

En fábrica de ratas, Goli deja expresar toda su visceralidad en temas con un IDM más crudo próximo a un electro con raíces punk, dejando entrever su lado enfocado a la pista de baile.

Mental techno Material

'Costellazioni' is the name of the new and awaited No Way Records vinyl release for the beginning of 2019. It's an Ep composed by two pieces signed by Kryss Hypnowave and two remixes created by Claudio PRC and Sicarius Hahni. The originals are two tracks of hypnotic and liquid techno, tribute to the glorious Rising High production. Ursa Major, in the powerful remix of Claudio PRC (The Gods Planet label founder) takes on a deeper and more nocturnal connotation, a cutting diamond for finest dancefloors, while Sicarius Hahni (pupil of No way Records) rework Hydra, making it glide in a field of blooming strawberries.

Electronic dreamer Mattia Prete opens 2022 with “Life Is Waiting” on the Faith Disciplines label. His six track offering lands this year and is another mesmerising trip to the outer edges of the techno world.

by the time sewer sender had their inaugural appointment, nokato nomer found his way to the assembly right as remnants from the pulsing waste conformed. with SSNDR002 we make acquaintance with nokato nomer who establish his granular sound with a clear vision. A1 is a steady paced roller with a primary chord that resonates throughout the entire release. A2 expands this notion by widening the soundscape and opens up for an introspective passage while B1 finds it's way home with a long running dub version of A1 the flip side.

Deep within the forests of Rüdersdorf, Germany, 1.5 miles outside of Berlin, exists a forgotten realm, a dark dystopian and deserted place. It is truly special. Here, menacing towers of an abandoned factory reach into the tarry ebon void, embracing the eerie atmosphere. It was once known as VEB Chemiework Rüdersdorf; a chemical manufacturing center for farming phosphates in the late 1800s and later repurposed for the manufacture of Vauxite during the second world war. The vast area of gigantic factory buildings is filled with decaying cement structures and is usually deserted and quiet. But not tonight. On this particular night, wild, untamed acidic tones of underground Brooklyn acid techno penetrate perfectly. Soon the irresistible sound waves bring to life whatever ghosts remain here. It was dubbed a “music research mission” put together by the nonconformist Sonic Groove Records label. It was the summer of 2020; in the middle of one of the more chaotic years in planet Earth’s recent history. With the planet’s entire population in Covid lockdown and absolutely menaced by a collective fear of the unknown; DJ Adam X was on a mission, inspired to provide an appropriate soundtrack for the setting. Accompanied by fellow artists Maedon, Reade Truth, and Sarin, what followed was a night of magic, as they re-experienced beloved timeless 90s era acid tracks. The massive monolithic buildings served as the perfect backdrop; a stationary frame for an unexpectedly active sky complete with flaming meteors, suspicious satellites, and potential UFOs. This intense nocturnal experience provided the inspiration for Adam X’s latest release; “Rüdersdorf” a modern take on his trademark acid sounds. Simultaneously mechanical and soul-felt, the LP is full of brain-numbing techno excursions, layered heavily with intense TB303 patterns that slowly dissolve and melt your brain. This is where the acid underground takes charge, providing the flawless soundtrack for the unknown. Hard, challenging grooves for these challenging times. Close your eyes, and visions of Chemiework slip into focus. The experience makes you wonder: Do we have a future? Adam X provides an opportunity to dance and maybe not even care.

Selector 001 is the first vinyl release of Highly Facts. Dancefloor killer tracks from Lusta on the A-Side and Matt Matter on the B-Side, includes a remix by Samuel L Session.
