dark green marbled vinyl

The 47th release features a collaboration between two friends, techno vets and label owners: Deepak Sharma and Cory James.

The result is a two track EP combining the best of what these experts have to offer in the hypnotic realm: rolling bass, subtle shifts in percussive movement and eerie sounds that create a complete late-night soundtrack.

Dino Divine
Side A features nine minutes of relentless groove with dramatic sweeping pads for the ultimate journey deep into the night.

Gowanus Taps
Side B has an analog and darker raw vibe, combining massive bass grooves with well-timed percussive surprises.

Neotex – Between The Machine (NH002) The A1 is hypnotic and dark ambient music, the A2 is a minimal focused cut, B1 is a bleepy acid bomb and then the B2 is a 138bpm rave style track. Why sleep when you can bleep.

Struktur brings you the next vinyl instalment in the form of the title The Sect. Presenting a 6 track V/A from a group of new and established artists that have come together to of create something very extraordinary for this one off project. We can not wait to show you what awaits you on this release. Influenced by industrial techno and its power of darkness and Its profundity influences of the world. This various artists compilation is not for the faint hearted. Helplessness from start to finish. So let the rhythmic sounds penetrates into the depths of the body, leaving you in an uncontrolled spiritual state, fall into dark spiritual state of The Sect.

Acidfonk and Eme Kulhnek – two of our favorite shooting stars join forces on our next Symbiostic Vinyl.

After Digital Releases in the past (SYMB043 Identity Module EP and SYMB034 We need to EP) the idea was born to bring both together for a collaboration and their first physical release. The Split EP contains besides the Original Tracks each a remix of their counterpart and showcase why both gain wide recognition with their style of modern crafted techno music by artists worldwide as Richie Hawtin, Dubfire and Marco Carola. We couldn´t be more proud to have both for this unique result. Enjoy!

E.L.I. lands on MRT shores and pollutes them with all sort of filth. The label second last instalment takes us to Britain and it is one of the most aggressive so far. The distorted screams, the ultra darkness, the violent atmosphere it creates is tinted in black and white by the stroboscopic lights of underground clubs. A perfect mixture of relentless basslines and straightforward rhythmic patterns for the dancers with no cause, with no hope for tomorrow. Places made famous by death and disaster.

France's I Hate Models has had a phenomenal rise since his first releases in 2016, now he arrives on Perc Trax to serve up the label's last release of year.

Already fitting in with the label's no nonsense aesthetic after appearances at a number of label showcases this year, this EP shows a hardening of his sound, without losing any of the melodic touches that have made his releases so memorable.

The original mix of "Spreading Plague" fills the A-side of the record with a near 10 minute journey though classic Perc Trax metallic percussion, quivering acid and soaring analogue lead lines. Epic is a word not often used in relation to Perc Trax, but
here it is perfectly applicable.

On the flip side, Perc remixes the lead track, honing in on the acid and adding swarms of claps and hihats for his first new production on Perc Trax in 2018. "Martial Order" closes the EP moving the percussion to the front of the mix once again, as metallic hits rain down on the listener, delivering a fresh take on one of Perc Trax's signature sounds.

Michele Mausi presents the first various artist release for his R3volution Records. He has selected artists who are different from them, some emerging, others already estabilished, but all of them carry the name of techno music all over the world. Yan Kook, Temudo, Kaiser, Gotshell and the label owner Michele Mausi are ready to make you crazy and destroy your dancefloor with 5 brand new technotravels.

The Berlin-based duo of Mathis Mootz (The Panacea) and David Frisch, better known as New Frames makes a come back to BITE for their second EP on the imprint. This time the progressive techno project joins forces with the BITE label boss, Phase Fatale on the A-side, producing a highly energetic EP packed with hard dance-floor-oriented tracks and just the right amount of attitude. The release explores a more playful direction, in comparison to the duo’s first appearance on the label. BITE022 is representative of New Frames’ signature old school and neo-industrial rave sound, infused with occasional breakbeat, trance, bass, driven sample rollers, and more elements that make putting labels on New Frames’ vibrant output seem impossible and unnecessary.

The record label "NECHTO" created by Nastia unveils EP by R.M.K - a new alias of London's electronic music producer, DJ, and Fossil Archive label head Rob Kirkaldy, also known as Roberto.
The record demonstrates a faster and more intense take on the artist's original sound. With a focus on the very core auditory aesthetics of raves, the tracks also incorporate a hypnotic groove element of groove. The EP comprises a thundering bass at higher tempos, whilst preserving a soul within the music itself. "The intention was to make a well-balanced EP aimed at the dancefloor, whilst showcasing a range of sounds that provide enough versatility to keep the listener interested throughout", says the artist on his debut release under the R.M.K alias.
Apart from launching his own techno label Fossil Archive, Rob Kirkaldy has established himself as a notable figure both as a techno producer and a masterful DJ. His long-lasting dedication to electronic music has brought him to the world's most renowned club culture establishments, including London's Fabric, Berlin's Tresor and Berghain, and many others. R.M.K strives to only deliver the highest quality of music and never settles for anything mediocre, as is proven with this new outstanding EP.
"This will be my first full release as R.M.K and I am excited for everyone to hear it. Having the stamp of approval and backing from NECHTO is a great honour and I am excited about the future of this project." - R.M.K

Shinedoe readies her fifth album ‘Freedom Riders’ on her MTM Records imprint with the release of her vinyl-focused ‘Wake Up’ EP, offering a four-track preview into the project while unveiling a selection of diverse electronic productions for home listening through to the dancefloor.

Over two decades, Dutch DJ and producer Chinedum Nwosu, aka Shinedoe, has established her presence as one of house and techno’s most loved talents, while carving a true path to her own vision. Based in Amsterdam and featuring as a key part of the city’s rich and blossoming underground scene, with performances across De Martkantine, Shelter and Thuishaven to international institutions such as Berghain to fabric, her releases on the likes of Rekids, Cocoon, Bpitch Control and her 2021 release ‘The Observer’ on Jeff Mills’ iconic Axis cemented her reputation as one of the scene’s first talents. Having launched her own label MTM Records in 2018, releasing four EPs on the label to date, October signals the arrival of the label’s first album in the form of her ten-track ‘Freedom Riders’ - an expansive and diverse project created in lockdown capturing sonics from across the spectrum - with the LP preceded by Nwosu’s four-track album sampler EP titled ‘Wake Up’.

“Freedom Riders is about living in a world where there is peace, and all our basic needs are fulfilled. Each being having the right to live in peace, be happy and to be. We are all Freedom Riders, some of us get lost and need to get back to the source.” - Shinedoe.

Opening production ‘Wake Up’ is a tension-building journey through metallic textures, warped vocals and eerie interludes, while album title cut ‘Freedom Riders’ fuses hazy atmospherics, rich chords, crisp percussion and sweeping acid lines to offer a late-night ride through smoky territories. On the flip, B1 ‘Peace’ offers an exemplary balance of light and dark with delicate yet vibrant leads guiding murky undertones and sharp percussion throughout, before closing with the hypnotic, off-kilter and mind-altering sonics of ‘Safety First’, traversing soundscapes to showcase and excellently crafted early-morning cut.

Cuts across the album continue this wide-reaching and rich variation, with the likes of ‘Shine’ and ‘Lockdown’ drawing on classic and modern house influences to offer striking additions for the dancefloor, while ‘Floor Action’ and closing track ‘See The Light’ veering into more dubby, paired back territories to offer up a sense of space and tranquillity - with the ten-track project showcasing a carefully crafted album rich in sound design showcasing one of Amsterdam’s finest talents.

Four good friends of the Knotweed family join forces to deliver the third volume of our 'Tales From The Dark Side' serie. Four stunning techno attacks masterminded by Javadeep, Andrea Belluzzi, Joaquin Ruiz and The Plant Worker.

We are celebrating 10 years of Knotweed Records, exploring different shades of techno.

Returning after a six-month break, Truesoul delivers a pair of uplifting cuts from Bart Skils, marking his debut on Drumcode’s little brother imprint.

One of Drumcode most consistent contributors, Bart Skils also knows his way around a melodic lead better than most. With this is in mind, it’s difficult to believe this is the first sighting we’ve had of the Dutchman’s productions on Truesoul.

‘My Rules’ was created during lockdown with the specific intent to brighten the lives of the techno faithful. Both compositions were inspired by the type of tracks Skils would typically use to build his sets during longer sessions, when tension-and-release dynamics are deployed with aplomb. The title track comprises a wiggly bassline running alongside a skilfully arranged vocal hook, while tiny flashes of melody amplify the atmosphere. ‘Cruising Waves’ is marked by a hypnotic groove and a meditative vocal loop before a ball-tearing industrial synth-line rips through the bottom end at regular intervals throughout the second half of the piece.

Wex 003. A special double LP that that depicts the mind of the Dutch producer, Eversines. This album is his first release and explores much of the vast world of electronica. From ambient to techno and much in between this is a special album for both the dance floor and your home listening. For the rest we will let the music speak as let you explore the sounds. Be sure to grab this while you can as it will be a limited double LP press on 180 gram. Photography from label head, Marco Malpeso. Stay tuned with much more to come in 2019 and thank you to all who have supported us thus far.

Mysterious Japanese newcomer 'Neem' unveils his debut vinyl on Japanese imprint Aura Music. The title track delivers some mechanical beats topped with delicate layers of samples and electronics. On the flip 'Forge' meanwhile is more abstract and spooky as strange voice murmurs on industrial background.
'Mustard-Colored Jacket' is a 'Basic Channel' rooted minimal piece features some dub samples on heavy bass.

In anticipation of Oceanic's debut album, Nous'klaer presents Choral Dance.

Repress!

'EP 2' hones in on highlights from RX-101's arsenal of warm, melodic techno gems. For those who crave playful analog basslines and wistful, evocative synth pads, you'll be hooked within the first minute of opener 'August '97.' The references are clear: if you're a fan of Bochum Welt or Aphex Twin's 'Selected Ambient Works Volume 1,' this 6-track 12' delivers just that sound - authentic, effortless and pure.

We finally announce PLSUK008, signed by Samantha Togni, a strong figure in the Techno scene.

This release perfectly matches the transition PLSUK is going through. Techno meets Grime and Trap, a blending of classic rave sound with contemporary Electronic vibes accompanied by a rumbling feature from Karnage. Samantha represents the perfect match between classic rave and today's sound revolution within the Electronic Music and Queer scene.

The journey has begun.

The fifth EP from Uruguayan Phonotheque Recordings by Santiago Uribe.

Catalog number"Yotsume 002" used as a missing number in long years is released as the 5th work of SASAKI Hiroaki's Yotsume-Music. This 'Winter EP' is SASAKI's latest release.It includes a remix by Stewart Walker who is a Berlin based producer and based on experience releasing distinguished labels such as Force Inc, Tresor, M_nus. Starting from SASAKI's track A1'Winter' has a long dubby bass, a pad sound is covering this euphoric minimal work which rhythm comes and goes like a returning wave. It likes snowscape of Japanese Ink painting.
B1'Stewart Walker Snowflake Mix' is a reconstructed 'winter' landscape and soundscape by Stewart Walker's minimalistic approach.The grain of the sound with the three-dimensional feeling scattered on the low-frequency, it conjures images of the snow piling over the white, chill earth.B2'Over' shows the another aspect of SASAKI's emotional side. It has a simple but selective rhythm and matter-of-factly composition of piano and Pad sound, which makes us feel the end of a long journey. It`s quality and brilliant minimal house release is shown how each of these
three tracks differ this time. VINYL ONLY.

Seekers Deliver Another Double Treat: A Beautiful Lp Recorded Somewhere In Usa....hope You'll Enjoy As Much As We Do.

Tensal strikes again with the arrival of the letter L, faster, harder and more hypnotic than ever. It will be released on clear blue vinyl and comes with an exclusive visual design on sleeve and labels.

Unrelenting but utterly charismatic across four tracks, Valerie Ace's debut EP blends her lived experience intertwined with today's increasingly complex politics of club culture with a thirst for experimentation, unpicking and subverting the strains of toxic masculinity that still run deep through contemporary culture. This is first-rate dancefloor discourse with little room for chin-stroking.

Der angesehene DJ und Producer Daniel Avery veröffentlicht sein bis dato ehrgeizigstes Studioalbum 'Ultra Truth' auf Erol Alkans Label Phantasy Sound. 'Ultra Truth' bietet ein völlig anderes Hörerlebnis als Averys frühere Alben, für das er mit der Hilfe einiger Freunde (u.a. HAAi, Kelly Lee Owens und Ghost Culture) in seinem Studio direkt an der Themse eine ganz eigene Klangwelt entwickelt hat.

Insolate, formally known as Miss Sunshine, is a true techno veteran with 20 years in the scene under her belt. With releases on DJ Deep's Deeply Rooted label and her very own Out of Place brand, Insolate now moves on to Proletarijat with a significant release in more than one way. Proletarijat 005 is wholly dedicated to her grandfather who was a Yugoslav partisan during WWII. As the black clouds of fascism once again form over Europe we must remember the ordinary men and women who sacrificed everything for the hope of freedom, or Sloboda if you will. How infinitely frail this freedom is and how we'll lose it all if we stop fighting. Ponos is a Croatian word for pride, but it's also the name of the Greek god of hard labour. And this is labour music - tough, proud and confident. We'll certainly need it. We have lots mof work to do.

‘Beauty In Industry’ EP is the 3rd release on Kerrie’s ‘Dark Machine Funk’ imprint

It was early 2007 when under another moniker, Raiju Manah signed his first releases on vinyl to labels including Synewave, Harthouse and Concrete, remixing some names the like of Steve Stoll. After more than a decade, Raiju decided to start a new musical adventure, following his inner-side to create a non typical sound, always personal and out of the usual patterns.

With releases on Steve Parker's Muted records, as well as on Anaøh, Concrete, Lett and Subsist Records, Raiju Manuh prints his music character with a revolutionary Industrial Techno, IDM and Ambient Techno style.

The release features collaborations from three solid producers who shine on their own.

Esther Duijn, Amsterdam-born but Berlin-based, who has released outstanding productions on labels including Gegen Records - the team that runs the infamous party in Berlin - as well as outstanding Dj performances in Tresor, Pornceptual, De School, Sisyphos and Kitkat to remember some, debuts in Triamb with a hypnotic and forceful upbeat techno remix of "Iron Age", bringing with an undoubted tool to make tension to the mix.

The French talent, MSKD, who has called attention from artists the like of Amelie Lens, featuring one of his latest music productions in her Fabric compilation, reveals a deep passion for broken beats and melancholia emotions, creating an expressive atmosphere with his remix of "The Noize" to blow the journey up. As a masterpiece, it has attributes to become a must-play in epic sets.

To close with a flourish, the Berlin-based multidisciplinary artist, Saumeth, has called attention in the specialised techno industry not only because of his upfront live-performances and Dj sets, invited to play at Bloc, KitKat, Maze, Mensch Meier and Humbolthain club to remember some, but also because of his album "Thema", reviewed by Faze magazine - Germany, as well as featured by several media makers.

Saumeth brings two outstanding collaborations to the package, one as an Intro to open the music journey in a magic but mysterious way, and a second one as an Outro to close the trip with an astonishing sound that melts in the air. Both atmospheric, full of psycho sounds and textures inspired by nature and forms of architecture.

Originally released between 2002 and 2006 by Antidandruff. Remastered by Joel Krozer at 6BitDeep Studio Copenhagen. Respect to Rumenige and Loktibrada for making this reissue transcend to the next generation and probably to eternity.

Resurfacing with their anticipated second iteration in a few months time, newly-launched Amsterdam platform One Eye Witness turns in a versatile second VA featuring the many flavoured likes of Robert Dietz, Z@p, Kasper Marott and New Members. Showcasing the label’s tireless search for new horizons and intrinsic lack of musical ideology, this new EP highlights talents whose shared ambition is to write the future of club music.

Berlin’s Robert Dietz serves up the first salvo, “EMQU EMJAY”, a lush and bouncy electro jam doing the splits between UK step, seaswept house and post-Rephlexian, Eastern-infused electronica. Reaching for much darker places, Z@p’s “YFM” pulls out an enslaving Knight Rider kind of nocturnal vibe, full with a powerhouse bass and mesmeric swing to keep dancers on their toes from start to finish. Gutsy, psy-op-ready material for when the lights shut off for good and club pressure raises up to suffocating levels.

Danish producer Kasper Marott is next with the swirling “Bleep”, cutting a path of doped-up, funky exhilaration across the dance floor. Drawing in a raging pool of acid and 8-bit tropes, Marott boasts unmatched skills when it comes to harnessing hella hectic solar-powered grooves. Pear affiliate New Members punches in last with “The Dink” - a hybrid dub slab joining the dots betwixt liquid jungle, fun-loving house and more out-there acid, reminiscent of Wink’s most hair-raising momentums but with a further breaks-luvin’ twist to it.

Supported by Nina Kraviz, Len Faki, Laurent Garnier, Slam, Etapp Kyle, Jonas Kopp, Sigha, Kaiser, Ilario Alicante, Paco Osuna, Gary Beck, Arjun Vagale, Under Black Helmet, Markantonio, Marco Faraone, Theo Nasa, Kameliia

Fast rising Irish techno producer and Mála Ádh label head Céilí joins the Higher Power label with a scorching split EP alongside West Yorkshire's hottest meme lord, Asquith.

Three tracks a piece, a proper whopping 6 pack for the weekend, absolute club bothering blazers from start to finish. Ceilí takes us through synth-laden trance-tinged techno (Back Once Again), stomping and churning industrial tekkers (the hotly-tipped Petrol Or Diesel) and a naughty proto-gabber stomper (On The Mend).

Asquith meanwhile is up to some new tricks taking us through F-Zero speeds with a half time crystal riff (Tasty Cheetah), deep progressive percussive chess rollers (Check Mate) and tooly trappy trippy techno workouts (Forget The Past).

Finally here so you can pretend to own on vinyl and secretly stream instead or download off Soulseek :)

Fabrice Lig has melody running through his veins. On his quest to explore his deep love for the bitter-sweet yearning of Motor City techno, his tracks transcend trends. Over his three-decade spanning career he has refined his blend of soul-infused dance music to striking effect. His gift for a catchy hook is unmatched. His new studio album "The Mental Bandwidth" shows his musical range as a producer once again. On the album's twelve tracks, he effortlessly traverses, cosmic house, funkified techno and electronica, combining his trademark quirky melodies with playful songwriting and dance floor focused beats. The album format is giving Lig enough space to explore his musical ideas from different directions while staying true to the overall atmosphere. "The idea for the album was to go back to the fundamentals of the original Detroit sound and to find new ways of expressing that soul in my music - as I've been doing for years", explains Lig. With Ann Saunderson and the former Kraftwerk-member Wolfgang Flur, the album features two heavy-weight collaborations that connect the "The Mental Bandwidth" to Detroit's musical legacy, too. Slikk Tim aka Garry Grittness also has a cameo in the form of a funky bassline on "Healing", the pop-infused Ann Saunderson collaboration. The title of the album is inspired by Lig's lecture of Sendhil Mullainathan and Eldar Shafir book "Scarcity: Why Having So Little Means So Much" which explores new approaches to reduce poverty. "The authors discovered that the mental bandwidth of poor people is sometimes really low because of short term issues they are facing and are forced to solve", explains Lig. Those issues are reducing the mental bandwidth for long term thinking capacities, which in turn has consequences for the decision making process. An example: before the quality of education of poor kids is increased, the quality of life they have must be increased. This increases the capacities of the kids to learn more than solely better educational programs.
