Techno Vinyl New Releases - News

DEAS' vierte EP auf Second State ist von ungewöhnlicher stilistischer und emotionaler Breite geprägt. Von futuristischen Sounds mit schwungvollen Drum-Pattern und unheimlichen, treibenden Basslines bis zu straffen, eher perkussiven 4-to-the-floor Tracks. Die "Index" EP ist eine Reise zwischen atmosphärischen und doch trippigen und clubtauglichen, härteren Sounds, die den Erfolg des international anerkannten polnischen Produzenten griechischer Herkunft weiter vorantreibt.

In this new edition, we present the work done by the trio of the city of Rosario, under the alias of EMPATHIC DECAYING FREQUENCY, led by Franco Cinelli, together with two great local artists: Esteban Gutierrez and Lazzade (David Lazzarin). Their casual studio sessions have resulted in this new edition of the label, essential to carry in your bag and adaptable to any situation of expression.

The album, with the title "Sudden Encounter" EP, demonstrates a modern sound, capable of going through a fusion of styles, from environmental breaks and down tempo to electro. Probably one of the best works of these DJs and producers from Rosario, who have shown us their permanent evolution with this delicate presentation.

The Next Number on Zement is by Ole Mic Odd (aka Michael Padgett). He is a hardware operator and DJ from Los Angeles. He runs the label The New U.S. Government. Two slow gfunkish tracks for the slow people and two fast acid booty tracks that will blast your shoes off.

You’d think we’d gotten used to specific compositions of sound by now. Saturated, even. But Dutch prodigy Orlando Voorn continues to break the mold! His new Amen EP on our Deeptrax Records label is the ultimate proof of this, with the title track in an ethereal but pumping way. The undeniably rich and complex ambience of this EP propels you into states you never knew existed. Real oldskool Detroit vibes combined with nuanced layers of deep funk. Listen, dance and learn!

Scalameriya returns to Perc Trax with the most definitive statement of his highly individual sound to date. Originally debuting on Perc Trax in 2016 in collaboration with VSK he has since cemented his status at the label with three further Perc Trax EPs 'Kepslok' (2016), 'Hellzone Megapunk' (2018) and 'Blueprint For Disaster' (2020).

Now 'Aeon Core' is upon us and sees Scalameriya extend his sound across 11 immaculately produced tracks showcasing a cybernetic, synthetic techno sound that still has a warm heart at its core. From the tough beats and warped vocals of 'Kiti Kimera' to the collapsing synth riffs of 'Elder Venus' to the punishing closing statement that is 'Warbeast' a track pushing up the Scalameriya BPM like never before, this is an album than perfectly balances intricacy, rhythm and power. As with the last two Scalameriya EPs on Perc Trax the source illustration is an exclusive commissioned work by New Tasty with all editions of the album put together by Perc Trax design hero Adult Art Club. The distinctive illustration further solidifies the connection between the visual and sonic aesthetics of Scalameriya's Perc Trax releases to the point now where it feels like one cannot exist without the other.

The album was mastered by Matt Colton at Metropolis Studios in London.

Following 11 hotly tipped EP's, Format now delivers its first compilation release, packed to the brim with bomb cuts from both veterans as new faces. This first Format compilation is a prime example of the label's signature sound. Featuring an impressive variety of musical perspectives, it's a mint snapshot of Format's ever adventurous view on techno.

Format lays down an impressive array of minimal-tinged and powerful dance floor techno laced with depth and atmosphere. There's quite a lot to enjoy here to say the least; a very special appearance is made by legendary NY-producer Mike Parker, whose off-beat 'Necklace Dancer' perfectly reflects Format's penchant for abstract techno. It nestles well among chunky four-to-the-floor material from various trusted label associates: ROD delivers a raw house-flavored banger on 'Acine', while TWR72's 'EXP19' explores techno's darker territories. Label curator, Juan Sanchez, also steps up to the game with 'Warthog', a highoctane piece of fiery techno that captures the man's highly anticipated sound. Topping off, new label signees such as Mark Groot and Optics deliver intense cuts that already make us look forward to more of their studio output.

Format V.A. will be released on two separate vinyl releases, followed by a digital release featuring all nine tracks. The first 200 vinyl releases will be made available in transparent vinyl. The release features artwork by DEFRAME, and is based on the refraction of light. It is meant to represent the illusion of a tiny hypnotic multiverse, where each plane exists in a different time and space.

After his "Distrophism" and "Sinua" EP's. Viels became a close member of the Dynamic Reflection family. This multitalent showed that he's here to stay and will bring us a lot more in the future. Meanwhile other respected labels as Semantica & Non Series confirmed this by releasing his music as well. With his intelligent trippy driving techno sound he delivers yet another 5 track EP (of which 4 appear on this vinyl) called "Pure Coincidence EP" including a hypnotising Neel remix.

All in all another banger from this Milanese wonderboy.

On ‘Luminal rec.’ s next 12-incher Black Lotus starts the acid engines with the title track “Thrust”
- a raw old-schooled rave interpretation cut from a freestyle 303 jam.

“High-Octane” dives towards even faster worlds while developing a relentless grinding touch that reminds of good old days.

“Mechanic Galaxy” on Side B is their soft counterpart;
With its dreamy chords and dancing shakers it balances this four-tracker out - a constellation we are used to from previous EPs.

Also “Interplanetary” comes along with a puristic touch, while focusing on less elements
- never compromising on the speeds.

New stuff from recent times.
Play it loud!

New Berlin based label Dead Sound Records kicks off the first in a series of leftfield house & techno releases.

The first E.P is from Cosmonaut, with the whole E.P fittingly taking influences and inspiration from his native Uruguay whilst still adding his unique flavour to each production. The E.P shows the depth and range of Cosmonaut’s ability as a producer with the A-side featuring two heavyweight 4/4 peaktime tunes. The B-side showcases a deeper side to Cosmonaut’s producing skills but with the dancefloor still very much in mind. TC80 rounds of the E.P with a delicate, emotional interpretation of The Cristal Ensemble Orchestra.

ORBE joins non series white with a flawless, warm 4 tracker ep.

From Another Mind continues to establish itself as a vital contemporary Techno outlet with a fresh release entitled ‘Der Weg Des Kriegers EP’ from label founders SHDW & Obscure Shape.
This German pair hail from Stuttgart and share a unique vision in the studio. They have a no frills,
straight up vibe that results in tracks designed for darkened spaces and serious crowds. As DJs they draw on the old and the new from acid, EBM and rave, and match the energy of their productions in
their sets. After a big 2019 they keep up the pressure here and head into the new year in fine fashion.
First out of the blocks is the brilliant 'Der Weg Des Kriegers' with its hammering, high speed kicks and choppy percussive patterns. A distant, sombre siren draws you ever further in as the track rolls on
relentlessly and grows ever more wild. Endgegner’ is an all-out frazzled techno rave with scraping hits´and distorted kicks driving along and whipping crowds into a frenzy.

Picking up the pace is 'Feuersturm', five minutes of banging techno with arresting synths shooting out of the mix like lasers and sure to get hands in the air. Closing out this high impact trip is 'Hinter Dem
Horizont' which bounces along on tightly programming and slamming drums, with a dancing synth sequence that adds just a little light to the darkness all around

Named after our Patreon community you belong here is an heart call to the irreplaceable feeling of belonging that only moving our bodies in unison to the same sounds can give.

With an ever growing number of established and up and coming producers joining our community, we felt that it was about that time to showcase their talent and vision. We are proud to present you the winners of our first remix meet with five very different takes on you belong here that are ready to be heard and played out loud along the
Rumpus Remix from C A I T L I N and myself. (Thomas Schumacher)

Undersound marks its 20th release with a collection of tracks from Scatterbaux. While the producer has a few sparse releases online, he displays considerable dexterity on these hardware jams. The A-side heavily features the classic 303 synth and opens with “Ghosts On The Wing”, where the artist is experimenting with an 8 bar acid pattern overlayed with dreamy leads and pads. This is followed by “Acid Squabble”, where two 303 lines bounce off each other exchanging their filter positions conveying a range of feelings and emotions. The B-side follows with “Chamber 27”, an electro jam with 808 drums and a driving 101 bassline. The EP closes with the fast paced “Womp Bucket”, with its evolving drum patterns and emotional overtones, completing a showcase of the producer's signature acid tinged style.

Fans of UK Techno and Electronic music should need little introduction to Steven Rutter.

Widely regarded as one of the originators who helped spawn an entire scene in the early 90s, there’s no mistaking his place as one half of the legendary Warp Records act B12. Or that of his other guises such as 2001, Cmetric, Infamix, Musicology and Redcell, which all made up part of the rich tapestry of the hugely influential B12 Recordings.

In 2016, Steven started a whole new chapter by launching Firescope Records. Over the past few years, the label has gone from strength to strength - releasing music from the likes of Morphology, Derek Carr, John Shima, Russ Gabriel, Darren Nye as well as plenty of new material by Steve himself.

‘Light From The Dark’ EP is a two sided Limited Edition 7” that captures Rutter’s innate ability to knit deeply spatial sonic tapestries. Side A track ‘In The Darkness’ delves into the depths of semi-consciousness and all that we can feel in the half lit hours. Like an impression taken from a half woke sleepy state, he moulds cyclical low end rumbling with fluid rhythmical pulses that in turn give way to brief moments of light and melody. Mirroring the moments we pass in and out of consciousness.

Accompanied by the “The Sands of Time” on Side B, the music takes a gentler path as Rutter leans towards the light, soft rhythms swaying among delicate FM pulsations and patches of airy melody. The warm aesthetics furrow straight from his soul and leave you in doubt that more than two decades on, Rutter continues to be a musical inspiration to generations of Electronic music lovers across the globe.

Body Music LP produced by a man who needs little introduction. Thomas P. Heckmann has flexed his prowess across all shades of electronic music, but it's his contributions to EBM-techno, acid, industrial, and experimental that has earned him his notoriety.

Heckmann has utilised 30 years worth of acquired knowledge to create a hard-hitting album which bears all the grit he is known for - harmonising analogue and digital wares to create an utterly immersive 14 track album.

3 x Vinyl LP, comes with free digital download code, plastic wrapped + A5 Art Insert + Sticker

A.D.H.S. José Bonetto and I took inspiration from the sounds of the illegal Raves here in Berlin. Produced with an anything goes attitude, the sound is raw and in your face. Both tracks smack of the spirit that has been keeping our scene alive during the lockdowns. We are back. Louder than ever. (Thomas Schumacher)

For the third installment of Token's Fuga compilations, the label invites another list of 9 cutting edge artists to put their skills to the test. Ignez, Emily Jeanne, Altinbas & Cirkle, Alarico, Dustmite, Yant, Marcal, and Decka all offer their unique vision of contemporary club music for a collection of tunneling and intelligent cuts.

Introducing the compilation, Ignez warms us up with the appropriately-named 'Celestial' - a 6 minute argument between melody and dissonance over a thick percussive line. Emily Jeanne then continues with 'Red River Delta' to lift some of the weight with a dissociative mind-bender. The crisp sound design and wide stereo image allow for an exhale before Altinbas and Cirkle introduce their collaboration 'Uhlanga'. With our focus back on the body, the duo turn up the pace and prioritize groove. With rhythm at the forefront, depth is given to the track in the ambience, creating a rainforest-like atmosphere with resonant stabs streaking over the tighter low-end. Alarico then picks things up by taking advantage of this crescendo to present the energetic climax of the compilation with 'Spit'. Hypnotism becomes almost paranoia with vocal cuts camouflaging themselves in the pulse of the track that only releases us with the occasional fleeting arpeggio. Walls rise and we're in concrete for Dustmite's 'Filaments and Jaws', which wastes no time in introducing itself with clear intentions and an imposing, low hi hat. He then lifts the record with a hovering main synth that drifts the experience back into a nervosity that complements the preceding track. It's Yant's turn to guide us with 'Take the Reins' - an almost nostalgic record with infectious chord stabs over a pounding 909, before leaving us with Marcal. 'Dancing Pursuit' is offered to the listener as another dance floor weapon with a density in its percussion and ambience that's balanced by the sequence of the lead synth and creates a lot of energy. Decka then takes control with 'Fracture' with a brutally saturated kick over whipping two-bar synth loops to close out the compilation with a head-spinner.

Space… The final wasteland for the rich and entitled. A playground for the opulent. A fantasy for the 99.9 percent. A constant source of inspiration for artists. Artists like AZO.

Making her debut on Biologic Records, complete with a remix from Steffi, here we find the talented Belgian artist strapping up her rocket boosters for a four-track trip into infinity. It takes in influences from dark matter to Detroit, black holes to Brussels.

‘Aurora Space Station’ is a beautiful rave-inspired breakbeat floatation piece that sets the scene, poking fun at the mega-rich who can afford to seriously entertain the idea of leaving this planet for dust. More thrust is added by the deep space electro of Steffi’s thumping remix. Both have more power than all the fossil fuel Bezos and Branson have burnt in the last 10 years.

Deeper into the cosmos we probe…. ‘Neptunian Sea’ takes off from Chicago, fuelled on an intoxicating combo of acid and Italo. ‘Love Bus’ brings the anti-gravity heat with a heavy, hip-writhing nod to the jazz spirit of UR’s Galaxy 2 Galaxy movements.

We might not be able to afford a holiday in space, but we can afford great art like this. The dancefloor has always been the most effective place for teleportation. Ready for take off?

Red Marbled Vinyl

Denise Rabe is back on her own imprint with its specific and unique gloomy witchy techno sound. Entering spheres of the unknown with a marvelous vocal chant on the A-side together with a fantastic built electro remix by Vil.

The B-side drives you one step further with an energetic and loopy track Icaro and a conspicuous deep hypnotic remix from Mary Yuzovskaya.

As always it is important to mention the exclusive hand screen printed sleeves and inserts by Rabe - this time in sumptuous gold ink on thick black card stock. Paired with the vinyl disc pressed in deep "Dracula red" makes this release a dark, elegant and exquisite package to add to your collection.

Stealth Mission 002 has arrived and continues where 001 left off - raw, uncomrpimising acid house and techno for warehouses.

”Gateway” The opening track leads you through a universe of cosmic melodies and imagination into a new atmosphere. Deep kicks ride along bubbled bass lines, rave-y stabs, and sinister Detroit strings.*

"LIGHT SPAN" * Huge drum work and clever percussion take us further into the void covered with gorgeous arps & snappy snares. Definitely a sound of the time as well as the future, taking the listeners back to the 90's rave era with its massive bass stabs. Enjoyable journey music.

* "NEBULA 7" *A fine taste of Detroit techno string work and arrangement, the EP's ending track pushes the ear to the final elements of the journey. Haunting voices, funky space bass and futuristic cool. Well chilled and served perfectly as a completion of the EP, this track rounds out the 'Trilogy Wave' series concept of the group in this 1995 popular recording reissue.

New chapter for well know Raw Raw Records with Radial. Sequenced rhythmic atonal techno for dark rave halls with red lights.

With his album "Obi Thine Xi" due in late summer 2021, Rico Puestel delivers an early and tasteful tempting with the pre-single "LAPS" joined by three absolutely sharp remixes on 180 grams heavyweight and plain white vinyl, figuratively representing the untouched canvas.

With the aspiration of creating a diverse spectrum of prime Techno music currents, the original album track "LAPS", a well-proven yet augmented Puestel'ish stomper of 10 Minutes that prompts reminiscences to his latest EPs on Cocoon Recordings, is given further touches by scene freshman "BOWMN" from the UK, the indubitable Dutch legend "Secret Cinema" and the unique German sound aesthete, overall creative mind, painter and winemaker "Florian Hollerith" from the beautiful Palatinate.

Following the pre-album presentation of "LAPS", BOWMN dives into the realms of pure melodic Techno bliss with a genuine nostalgic yet onward feeling which experiences a sophisticated definition throughout his massive interpretation. If there's one way to know if you're in the good old days before you've actually left them - this is it!

On the flip-side, the one, the only and the legendary Secret Cinema constructs a well-driven and tight top class production work with his groovy expanded remix work of LAPS that might come along as some track that gives you some kind of timeless attitude.

Closing the "LAPS" journey, Florian Hollerith serves up a highly elaborated next level remix that already defines a future of Techno music that might hasn't come yet while perfectly balancing unearthed highs with some deeply grounded depths of electronic music creation.

Steve Rachmad is welcomed to the vinyl-only offshoot Drumcode Limited. Disturbance is a punchy little number that has a stuttering synth that rises over the top of the pounding kick drum. Steps takes it up a notch with a simplistic bleep pattern that modulates throughout that is awash with a throbbing undercurrent.

Stunning techno two tracker - Must have for fans of Terrence Dixon & Claude Young

I had been walking for days through dust and brambles. I had been walking so long that I couldn't any longer feel thirst. I dragged my sinner soul stuck on me. Step by step towards that white light, which was pure like the origin of the universe. Salvation at the end of it all.

Already an accomplished composer and producer, crafting music and soundscapes for film and television, Gensi AKA András Genser deploys a trio of smooth and inspiriting cuts on the ‘Primavera 707’ EP. The title track gets the remix rub from British brothers Decius.

‘Primavera 707’ is tinged with a gloss and sheen, and a pop edge, that stays on the right side of classy. Heavenly melodies skit around an effervescent vocal, as Gensi distributes bubbly acid lines and expansive synths that elegantly crescendo.

Decius stamp their rugged sound onto the remix of ‘Primavera 707’, having impressed via releases on their own Decius Trax imprint. Chugging drums and bags of mechanical funk are plugged into this re-rub, as the vocal gets pulverized, and a dark & sleazy tone is forged.

Further explorations into acid are mined on ‘Humble Brush’, as the wiggly worm forages around energizing chords and weighty drums, whilst ‘The Great Body Buzz’ glides across the cosmos with booming 808 beats and intergalactic electronics.
