Techno Vinyl New Releases - News

Re:Axis has been with the PR family for a while now and never fails to deliver. His new "Chosen Frequency EP" features 4 energetic and driving techno cuts.

Paris' Bambounou cracks down on Climate of Fear's sixth edition of its tape series. Recorded at Climate's final Berlin party before lockdown, Bambounou grips turns and swerves across lanes in this high tension neo-rave workout; cutting edge technoid tracks move with a hard hitting bounce and zero body fat weightlessness. Lithe & deadly, "Guts" spills with venomous glee, tempered with expert finesse.

The release consists of dense floor slammers from Bionoid, modular synths enthusiasts based in Saint-Petersburg, Russia. Every track is recorded at once during a jam session on analogue setup. They do not bear any signs of 'rave' or 'trance', but the cyclic and raw sound with minimalistic groove typical for Detroit techno.

All these pressed onto a thick 180gm crystal clear tasty piece.

Dax J returns to his label Monnom Black, bringing with him four cuts of pulsating techno!

Orion Records is all about freedom. Techno freedom. The Milan based label is an open space for club and non-club music.

SPECIALE_01 is the first chapter of a new series of featuring between Orion and various artists close to their circle.

For the opening record the guest is Skyra, regular dj and sound engineer of the infamous Bassiani club in Tbilisi.

“New Beginnings” and “Unite” are two live jams recorded last year in his own studio. Floating pads, repetitive percussions and straight kick drums will take you into a deep and endless techno journey.

At the same time the Italian duo present their softer and deeper side with two new original tracks.

Strong and melodic basslines are the main elements inside OP 07 and OP 04, together with timeless acoustic drums and layered pads.

Welcome to Orion’s special place.

It all began with a demo from Siberia in 2011...the rest is history..

After a year, we are back with our annual compilation series Hate And Tenderness.

Now in our volume IV we continue looking for the congruence between our sound and our philosophy, based on the contrasts such as those found between art and nature.

We have invited 10 artists who add their work and talent to this project built with love and effort.
We appreciate one more year of support and love.

·
HATE:
The most treacherous you may have in front
Sipping your beers or sharing your hot dinner
I hope those who always lie will drown
And once in hell they burn forever.
·
TENDERNESS
I'll be there when you cry and when you laugh
In your days of melancholy and in your joys
I'll be there when you sleep and when you dream
In your deepest fears and in your coldest nights

We are extremely proud to present you our next Physical format release and belongs to rising Italian duo W/CYA. The title of this great EP is 'Priming' and contains 4 original tracks and 4 incredible remix works by Orbe, Viels, Iori and Booz. This is no doubt an outstanding work by the Italian Producers, we couldn't ask for a better debut release from an artist on Illegal Alien Records, 'Priming' will be available on a limited special Cassette Tape edition and Digital format.

We’re excited to present our next 12” vinyl. This time, we go back in time once again with a brand-new remix of an absolute classic. Yves Deruyter’s Calling Earth was a mega hit back in the day, now in 2020, the track has been given a makeover by electronic music icon, Umek. From those early days at Bonzai, Yves has been at the forefront, dishing out countless tracks under his own name and a host of guises and collaborations. Still rocking the scene today, producing and DJing for the masses, he has surpassed 35 years as a DJ and it doesn’t look like he will be stopping anytime soon. His tracks have a tendency to find their way into modern sets, holding their own in timeless fashion. So, it’s no surprise that in 2020, Umek decided to have a go at remixing this popular track, which has been played by the likes of Adam Beyer and even got an airing on BBC Radio 1’s Essential Mix. Slovenian artist, Umek, started out in 1993. He was pioneering the sound in his country, bringing the music to the masses at such a young age. In 1999 he founded Consumer Recreation and Recycled Loops and has went on to churn out a plethora of work on other world-renowned labels. He currently runs his latest label, 1605, with great success. His fast mixing skills and uplifting sets earned him the most prestigious of gigs and has played a Radio 1 Essential Mix in 2007. A multi-award-winning artist, Umek continues to deliver the goods, and this is just one example of his genius. What is more special about this particular release though, is not only is it a limited edition, but each vinyl features a unique colour pattern. Three colours will be present, blended together in random sequences to achieve the most vibrant tapestry. This will give the records their own character and will be the talking point of many collections.

On the A-side you’ll find Umek’s Remix. Staying true to the original, while bringing in a strong, contemporary Techno vibe. The intro boasts that familiar scratchy synth before monster kick drums take over alongside a pulsating bassline. Tension mounts as the layers pile on, we’re teased with the main melody until it’s unleashed on the first break to the backdrop of a gnarly, gritty Techno pad. The second break brings in those playful percussions that track is so famous for, resolving in a slowed down tempo and then back to full-on mode for the duration.

The B-side features the glorious Original Mix. First released in 1994 as the A-side to IV (backed with Rave City). The track opened with that hollow tube sound laced with bright hats, leading to a solid, pounding beat and then on to that infectious melody line. This one quickly rose to mega status among throngs of ravers and DJ's. A string of remixes followed as well as multiple releases over the years making this the ultimate classic.

One of Belfast's finest exports, EJECA is no stranger to Shall Not Fade. Initially appearing on the label last year with the infectious hardcore-tinged Polar Nation EP. This time round EJECA demonstrates his knowledge of the harder edge of UK dance music with the weighty Sunburst EP, backed with a killer remix from Cinthie.

The pulsing kick of "Stoke It" is tempting, like the low end frequencies felt echoing out of some dark Berlin club; paired with dramatic analogue synth effects and old-school energy, it pushes straight into high stakes rave callback "Faith". Then closing the A-side is the glimmering electro-disco-beat of "The Basics". Think early Warp Records meets modern space-age drama.

The title track can be found opening up the B-side; unrelenting blissful arps allow space for a slow build-up so that the eventual kick-drum catches you off guard. It swirls towards a cliffhanger drop, forming a beautiful centrepiece to the record. "Looksee" is the slightly more relaxed B2, muted low-end bassline and protracted pads giving a well-deserved breather from previous intensity. Ejeca has enlisted the much-revered Berlin DJ and producer Cinthie on remix duties for the expansive title track; her bouncing house edit reimagines the tense, entrancing production of the original into a seductive groove that closes the driving, dark EP with a bit of sunshine.

Real World Records – das berühmte Worldmusic-Label, gegründet von Peter Gabriel - jetzt bei Universal Music! Montparnasse Musique sind der algerisch-französische Produzent Nadjib Ben Bella und der südafrikanische DJ Aero Manyelo.

Gemeinsam produzieren sie einen elektroakustischen Sound voller ansteckender Hooks, kompromisslos und authentisch. Ihre neue, selbstbetitelte LP ist eine kühne Mischung aus den traditionellen Klängen Afrikas, kombiniert mit dem Puls des modernen Johannesburg: Gqom, Kwaito, Techno und Afrohouse.

Mick Wills is no stranger to Frigio Records, the German Dj and producer has turned his hand to edits and remixes on previous releases and now arrives with his own 12” of edits for the volumen 4th of the label’s Ecdisis series.
The source material for the two pieces on offer comes from Brazil’s Simbolo, a band formed in 1988 and still active with a career spanning more than thirty years, was a central player in South America’s EBM and Synth scene. Wills has selected two tracks from the Brazilian’s back catalogue, the first being “Mind.” Industrial influences come immediately to the fore, complex drum patterns give way to a juddering groove in which guttural vocals depict a scene of hurt and pain.
“Synchrono” occupies the flip. Taken from the 1995 album, In the Danger Zone, the original two minute piece is extended into a seven plus minute epic. Following on from “Mind”, “Synchrono” melts stuttering bass-lines and textured percussion with indecipherable lyrics counter-balancing heady strings. Two cuts of emotive and impacting electronics.

Chris Liebing drops another 'Club Mix' of one of his forthcoming LP ('Another Day') tracks. 'Circles' (featuring Tom Adams) sees Liebing deliver a dancefloor focused, arpeggio driven stomper that sees his dancefloor clout meet his more introspective, melodic LP direction head on

Corp debut on Nicolas Lutz’s My Own Jupiter!!

For our next vinyl release on Prodigal Son we welcome our newest recruit Kaylah from Hackney in London. His sound is tough & grimey, with captivating leads contrasting across this record. Old skool influences seem to be drizzled over this debut solo EP, but all in good measure of course, the music is forward thinking, driven with pace and ready for the rave. Some heavy hitters cut especially for those that are "Ardcore To The Bone".

The first solo release by the young Uruguayan genius Luis Malon has been very anticipated, and comes full of flavour. A five tracker EP with breaks, deepness, epic moments and a lot of punch.

The title track is body melting Sub Bass meets synapse smashing 303 ACID riffs that roll over and over you in waves as Mike tweaks the frequencies to perfection. This is real Electronic Music performed not programmed.

Cascading acid lines, washes of stomping crashing 808 drums and a classic synth break with filtered twisted vocal echoing around your head.

Aggressive drums pound you from the outset, heavy distorted 909 type drum sounds, Detroit influences are apparent in the choice of lush pads and dynamic filter sweeps wound together by a gurgling acid line pushing and twisting the sound your head. Definitely not a static affair with all the frequencies in flux.

Tense British Techno with the sickest, heaviest square wave bass possible. A stomper with just a touch of the theme to 80's TV series Knightrider about the nagging synth line underpinning the 303's, The Hoff would be proud.

(2lp+dl) Lucy And Rrose, Now Coming Together As The Lotus Eaters, Have Established Themselves Separately As Techno Artists Who Are Just As Comfortable Operating In The Uncharted Area Of Experimental Music. Running Their Own Labels (stroboscopic Artefacts And Eaux, Respectively), They Have Gained A Cult Following, Both Influencing And Challenging The Direction Of Techno.

Phonica AM is a new imprint curated by staff member Luther Vine focusing on a more ‘after hours’ sound. Think tripped-out Techno, Minimal, Electro and every shade in between.

Voodoos and Taboos are up first with the ‘If We Were’ 12”, a four track EP drawing on strains of Tech- House, 90s Breaks and Techno/Electro. The mysterious duo follow up a string of high calibre releases on their own imprint which have gained substantial hype both upon release and on the second-hand market, with Discogs prices skyrocketing.

A1 ‘Doorway’ is a nuanced, spacey Techno banger with intricate synth licks, underpinned by a pumping groove. Title track ‘If We Were’ is a rich and emotive track, blooming pads, euphoric motifs, fortified by a futuristic jacking groove.

On the flip, ‘Witch House’ is wonky, bassline driven Tech-House with a hefty splash of acid. Final track ‘Holyday’ is a refined modern homage to 90s rave, all swinging break beats and slick vocal fragmentation.

Musique Pour La Danse invites you to rock your body and free your brain with the second and third volume of Break The Limits.
Break The Limits are Bay B Kane and Mister E, two East London underground pioneers who released pivotal and visionary EPs between 1990 and 1991.
Together, they produced some of the most innovative music of the era, a blueprint for the emerging warehouse / hardcore / breakbeat scene in the UK.
In the same way 1977 was a crucial year for punk's explosion, 1990 was a madly creative and truly revolutionary year for dance music, the essence of which is captured in these tracks.
Picture this: a low ceiling sweating red brick basement somewhere at Marshgate Lane, where multicolored lasers, turbo soundsystem and wacky dancers in ecstatic rush.
DJs like Fabio, Bukem or Matthew B would spin an evil blend of early hardcore and trippy NY house, with live PA set by up and coming acts like The Prodigy, Unique 3 or Satin Storm.
This was universal unity, complete mayhem and total freedom taking a country by storm, with a mutant groove that later became the grooves of all the grooves.
Nearly 30 years later, it's still fresh.


Produced in Satin Storm's studio (another pioneer), these have shades of deep house, techno bleeps and rough breakbeat blended in an intuitive and innovative way.

Lush modern Techno from Dave Angel

UNCAGE label owner Marco Faraone is back on Rekids with three massive soulful cuts entitled ‘True Love EP’.

Hailing from Tuscany, Faraone has risen to become one of Italy’s leading house and techno artists over the last fifteen years. When not performing at the likes of Awakenings, Caprices, Tomorrowland and Kappa FuturFestival, the producer has released on leading labels like Ovum, Drumcode and Be As One. Since debuting on Rekids two years ago he’s become a notable fixture on the Berlin-based
imprint, dropping numerous releases including his sophomore album, and he returns again now in fine form.

Opening the release in a big way, ‘True Love’ is built on galloping kicks, rattling shakers and a murky bass throb whilst a distorted vocal sing the track title. A cacophony of percussion then joins deep synths in ‘Want Me’ before introducing a powerful diva vox, leading into ‘Safari’ with its bubbling effects, piercing stabs and swinging hats.

At last, a vinyl re-press of the hard-to-find Classic New Beat tracks from N9 !

For years, the vinyl 12 inches from the French Techno-house & New Beat label N9 were nearly impossible to find, and devoted Oldschool Fans kept asking for represses.
Thanks to a joint venture with fellow Belgian label Fenix Fire Records, the wait is over!

Here’s a deluxe 2x12' compilation, on 180g marbled red vinyl in a beautiful gatefold package.

With 11 tracks spanning from the origins in 1990 to the rebirth since 2005, N9's most wanted releases are here, remastered by French sonic wizard André Dalcan, ready to get turntables at the right 33+8 mood, and get the white glove raised again!

From Another Mind founders Obscure Shape & SHDW return to Rekids with three massive techno tracks in 'Der Strum EP' this October.

Marco Bläsi and Luigi Urban first appeared on Matt Edwards' label two years ago with an unforgettable remix of Radio Slave's 'Vision'. Since then the pair have continued to helm their From Another Mind imprint, as well as returning to Rekids for their 'Himmel Und Erde' release, not to mention remix the seminal 'Grindhouse' alongside Slam. Joining the label again, the duo present three cavernous cuts highlighting why they're considered such a key driving force behind Southern Germany's techno scene.

Featuring their signature echoing kicks, 'Der Strum' includes syncopated snares, scintillating pads and piercing stabs to forge a peaktime cut. 'Zeit Des Erwachens' is more of a roller with its undulating percussion and quivering bassline, leading into the effervescent 'Tränen Der Sonne' with its twisted arpeggios and rattling hats.

VOLPHONIE is the creation of French based artist Chris Honorat and set to focus on twisted, hypnotic techno grooves, balancing the notion of introspection with dance floor appeal.

The 6th release is a split EP between Elad Magdasi, a front left raver in his core, and Sinfol - the talented producer from the label Anagram for his debut on Front Left. They each showcase an original tune, with a remix of their own to each other's tunes.

Elad Magdasi - Silent Thrust: focusing on the groove, a pushing forward bassline, this tune will make you get up and dance! That's the goal.
Sinfol - Drum Spirit: a ritualistic journey with lots of detail on the percussion, an acidic lead and a hypnotic vocal sample, joined together to a massive bomb.
Elad Magdasi - Silent Thrust (Sinfol Remix): full of soul and funk, this Detroit influenced remix is an amazing interpretation of the original, with beautiful uplifting stabs and sneaky pads.
Sinfol - Drum Spirit (Elad Magdasi Remix): a driving & energetic beat, with an underwater vibe, together with fun stabs and a heavy kick.
