FAT techno acid Coronna Killa

A year after "Shadows" Svarog comes with his new EP "Substances". The 3-tracker extends Svarog's previous repertoire with a more demanding, energetic component. deeper paths are followed on the b side.

The Raval Breakers strike back, blasting a rather fitting soundtrack to the dystopian times we are living in. This third volume gets together old and new friends of the M.U.S.A. family who show their personal takes on electro. The first track is a deep and explosive yet somehow contended cut; made in Rub by its legendary producer Univac, inspired by The Hague and remixed in Russia by the duo Fractions. La Maquina Corrupta sends a trancy, breaky and acidic cut from Berlin and Sistema, which inaugurates his new alias Brodmann 41 for some paranoid electroclash action. On the flip, Privacy does a great remix of Exzakt & BFX, mixing electro rhythms with a narcotic and nocturnal atmosphere that adds dubstep flavor to the formula. Finally, Barcelona's own RNXRX closes this third EP with a broken and dirty track that sounds like a high-definition face punch.

Jumpmono Records presents its 3rd release, 'L.E.A.Y. EP'.
Label bosses Anti-Slam & W.E.A.P.O.N. teamed up with 4 of the best Techno artists on the planet (Steve Mulder, Dino Maggiorana, Koen Groeneveld & Phutek) to bring you this incredible 4-tracker EP.

due.sound introduces the first catalog of the label releasing an EP by NDR including remixes from Neel and Antonio De Angelis.

Seriously, another techno project? Yes, it’s Series. There’s always room for seriously good techno music. And nothing else. Pure music. Why? Because we like it. It’s amusement. It’s delirium. Don’t take techno too seriously. Take Series. It’s an artist. It’s a label. It’s real. And it comes with roots from underground – seriously!

For the faithful Skudge follower, number 13 brings back memories from when Skudge combined and reduced both Techno and House in a flawless way. Something that they have been able to do since the beginning. They also manage to utilize samples, that in another context would have felt misplaced, in a very classy manner.

After more than 5 years in the techno scene as an organizer, label, and agency, RAW is launching their first vinyl compilation including 16 original tracks from a well-curated list of top producers. The release features several early label contributors as I Hate Models, Under Black Helmet or Hadone with respected and inspirational artists as Perc, Somniac One, Thomas P. Heckmann, or Clouds to name a few.

Entitled Gemstones, this V/A is divided into 4 colored vinyls representing precious stones, promoting a hard and harsh sound from industrial to emotional techno stompers.

Detroit’s newest label, Amphiboly Records, is
proud to present “Void Stares Back”- their first
release from co-founders Sard & Andrew
Barren.
Sard opens the EP with “Void Stares Back,” a
sinister half-time track with modulating noises
and melting percussive sounds. On A2, “Null
Runner,” Sard delivers a hypnotic dance-floor
ripper with delayed pulses that reverberate
through any room.
Andrew Barren begins Side B collaborating with
Remittance on their track “PISCATAWAY.”
Slowly evolving, it features a hellish kick and
aggressive drones that builds in temperature
over time. Barren closes out the EP with
“Flesh,” a spacey track with strong drums as its
backbone and layers of atmosphere that gives
out to modulated percussion.

Madrid-based imprint Trauma Collective are back with a vengeance. Their third dispatch comes from Pole Group associate and Order & Devotion main man Mario Campos aka Kwartz. The Reinforced Control EP sees their hometown partner-in-crime deliver more of his typically austere expressions in cerebral techno. Features the brutalist tones of war techno epic "The Nature Of Our Anger" awash in a mesmerising swirl of steely textures and visceral kicks, antagonising you with its erratic tempo shifts. The title track is a cyclical and linear DJ tool, properly geared for those heads-down moments under the strobe light, imposing a powerful groove on you in streamlined fashion. Next up, British legend Mick Harris, who inaugurated the label under his Monrella alias not long ago, returns here for a pounding rework of the track - venturing into greyscale industrial zones. Taking you deeper into amorphous Sunday morning vibes, the Berlin-based producer goes out all guns blazing on the dark patterns and mentalist tunnel vision of "Beneath The Surface".

Summer has arrived and with it our first club release in ages, a high energy burner by KΣITO from Tokyo, Japan. We are more than excited to welcome this talented MPC finger drummer Keito Suzuki to fiery post-lockdown dance floors. He draws inspiration from the South African Gqom and percussive music, and in his own stately way he merges big room intensity with an experimental explosion of weirdness. Expect bare bones techno, full of earworm hooks. Tolouse Low Trax and Kӣr complement this record with a bunch of psychedelic remixes, creating a great balanced journey.

For the seventh relase of the Worst collection, our infamous A Strange Wedding takes a deep turn on the great unknown. Keeping in mind the « ritual » and « cosmic » adjectives often associated with his music, he built a mystical artifact fallen from the skies, quite litterally indeed. « Black Magic Rituals » is a wizzard's book full of smart spells to open the space and time continuum. Whether it is made of shimmering stratospheric soundscapes or built in between constellations of the inner world, A Strange Wedding goes beyond his own forms to explore half-step industrial leftfield dub as well as mental-driven deep techno in the style of italian masters. Oscillating from far distances to intimate odes to infinity, this crystal maze of sharp music stands as a usefull toolbox for total mind liberation, and marks a step even forward into's A Strange Wedding sonic journey. To be continued, of course.

Earlier this year Ellen Allien dropped her seventh solo LP, 'Nost', an ode to the music that has been at the epicentre of her career, and life, for over two decades. The album provided a link between the past and the future, blending influences from the very early days of Berlin techno with contemporary sounds and, of course, a vision of the future. Now we have the first batch of specially commissioned remixes, taking Ellen's original works in a new direction with four artists delivering their own interpretations of the music featured on the LP. Emmanuel Top, ROD, K-Hand and Skudge are the first ensemble of techno titans to administer the remix treatment to tracks from 'Nost'.

Some proper straight forward techno on Reclaim Your City. Their first 2020 release 'Liquid Shards' - a split 12" epic courtesy of Den Haag's TAPE co-founder Deniro and Brighton's new sensation Rene Wise. No-bullshit techno that moves in between plural states of consciousness, the two producers harness a double pair of laser-accurate rollers that pack some serious punch, trimmed, shaped and polished for optimum impact on the dance floor. Deniro steps up with a duo of streamlined techno bullets that delve smack dab the cream of '90s atmospheric and dubbed-out tech territories. Whilst zoned out opener 'Shards' cracks the mirror into an infinity of glassy textured synth splinters and solar-powered sub-bass moves, sure to lift off any crowd through some intensive, stamina-testing deus-ex-machina, pared-down banger 'Static' lets out the playful bassy bounce and bleep-laden engineering do the talk for a straight out bone-crushing workout that quietly engulfs everything in its wake. Flip it over and here's Rene Wise running the hoodoo down in truly massive 4x4 sensei fashion. Pulling out a nasty cavalcade of intestinally disquieting 909 kicks out the deepest blue, alongside mazy networks of verbed-out drums and heavily altered synthetic samples, 'Liquid Dancer' sets the boiler to eleven from the Baltic to Hawaii, which is no good news say the oceanographers. Bringing up the rear to this quartet of steady shooting havoc wreakers, 'Juggler' is no ancillary DJ tool but a much apt and functional floor squasher in its own right. Just let the pressure rise, people lose their shit a bit and throw these into the melee as a memo of how good techno is when done with such sentient genius. Record comes pressed to a trichromatic marbled vinyl, folded in some neat cover art.

The Baron of Techno that is Dave Clarke has become something of a spokesperson for the sensible dance music fan in recent times He isn't afraid to cut through the hype with his often-on-point views, but happily, he is still doing the good stuff in the studio too. He has always been one to add his own spin to a range of non-dance acts and here he tackles tunes by Irish post-punk band Fontaines D.C. His two remixes tackle cuts from the band's highly acclaimed 2020 LP A Hero's Death and the results are as blistering and brilliant as you would expect.

French artist and Boysnoize mainstay Unklevon returns with more bristling electro sounds on his excellent ‘Sharping Shadow’ EP.

The no-nonsense Unklevon project was born after years of experimentation. It exists independently of any specific aspect of the music scene but combines all niches within the worlds of electro and techno. Unklevon debuted on this label in early 2019, and has also landed on FLASH and Nechto. His tunes have picked up notable support from Perc, Nastia and Amelie Lens, amongst other big names, and this white label 12" is an essential offering of electronic dynamite.

The superb metallic drums of 'Cyborg Romance' open with a bang. Robotic vocals, glistening synths and punchy bass all make for classy outer space electro. The title track is another high-energy electro jam, this time with subtle nods to Kraftwerk. The slithering synth lines and vocal samples, serene cinematic atmosphere and sleek drums all lock you in.

Things get much more dark and intense on 'Venus Aktivita¨t.' The synths are eerie and haunting, the bass packed with menace and the drums hit with intent. The excellent 'NJ Breakers' is more stripped back and high speed as it races on squelchy acid bass and linear drums towards some far-off planet. Last of all is 'Euroset Cobra' ft. Brodinski, a caustic world of blistering synths and lurching broken beats that casts a truly dystopian shadow on the dance floor.

Sharping Shadow is a visceral EP of innovative electronic sounds from Unklevon and Boysnoize Records.

British DJ and producer Inland (Ed Davenport) has compiled and mixed 'Stream State', his biggest project to date, bringing together over 20 artists in a DJ-ready compilation of colourful, diverse modern techno on his label Counterchange.

Complete with a 90 minute continuous mix by Inland himself, the project celebrates over 15 years behind the decks and cements Davenport's reputation not only as a tireless force in the studio, but as a trusted selector and curator of contemporary club music. Spanning deep idm-rooted studies, lush chord-driven euphoria, powerful modernist workouts and tough house-groove jackers, Davenport weaves an addictive mix full of character and his precision mixing style.

From veterans and heroes like DJ Skull, Efdemin, Joel Mull, Boddika, Peter Van Hoesen, and Mark Broom (alongside Discrete Circuit), to a new echelon of up-and-coming talent like Rhyw, Sophia Saze, Jamaica Suk, Johanna Knutsson, Aiken, DJ Sodeyama, Perm and Felix Fleer, there's an underlying thread of shimmering production values and close attention to detail in every track. Inland also selected debuts from Berlin based artists Fred Mann and Arbitrage, and welcomes back BNJMN, P. Lopez and Distant Echoes to the label, now in its 7th year of operation.

'Stream State' is Inland's celebration of the DJ mix / compilation format. Enamoured with UK dance music culture in the mid 90s, the burning, illicit energy of early rave mixtapes left a huge impression. Mystical bootlegs recorded at mass gatherings in fields or late night Radio One transmissions captured on cassette - their eternal spirit was absorbed and cherished. Now more than 2 decades later, Davenport has channeled that fascination into this weighty collector's item and a captivating continuous mix.

All 22 tracks included are new and original productions made by some of Inland's favourite artists and colleagues. A network and a community - complied and presented by an artist who continues to demonstrate his longevity and unique voice in the scene.

Two well-known Techno producers team up anonymously with the vinyl-only project ROMPAX, delivering an all-pervasive.

Direct, hard, minimal, detroit-style techno

3 unreleased mixes, by Helium, that have nothing to envy to the originals that have been unearthed: If ’Try Me (More Mix)’ does exactly what’s written on the tin, i.e. expanding the scope to further spacious, ambient-informed horizons, ‘Clouds (Captain’s Mix)’ opts for a more abstract, ASMR-like rendition, while ‘Out There (Jody’s Mix)’ reels out as a proper hypnotic, sense-awakening comber topped off by Jody's vocals that’ll send off dancers straight into a blissed-out daze.

Mint Condition - A record label focused on excavating the outer fringes of classic House and Techno. Unreleased mixes, classics, overlooked gems and never heard before material, mined from the last 30 years of contemporary dance music are the order of the day. From Chicago, Detroit and New York to London and beyond. Mint Condition have got their digging hats on to bring you exclusive heat and those rarer than rare jams that have been in your wants list for years. Dig in....

Set against the backdrop of Birmingham in1990, a 17 year old Peter 'Doggy' Duggal, inspired by Cybotron and Kraftwerk, would escape to his bedroom with the few pieces of musical hardware he'd collected, spending days eking out what sounds those machines could produce, thankfully Peter remained resolute and what resulted was his first EP 'Psyche' originally released on the pioneering UK label Rham! Records.

'Psyche' itself is an absolute gem, an infectious and unrelenting bass-line drives the track, while dystopian chords and strings populate the higher end. Next up previously unreleased 'Haze' heads into breakbeat territory, a sparser live jam recorded straight from the desk, but there's no shortage of bass bin rattling sub-bass, bleeps and emotion here. 'Dog Food's ominous intro gives way to pounding drum machine rhythms, more incessant bass, melancholic melodies and subtle breakdowns that keep the warehouse energy flowing. Rounding off this EP is the previously unreleased 'Psyche' (Alternative Mix), adding subtler bleeps, another genre defining classic that would give the original mix a run for it's money anywhere.

''Psyche' has been legitimately re-released with the full involvement of Peter Duggal and features previously unreleased tracks and never heard before versions that Peter has unearthed from his DATs. This is an essential archival piece, lovingly remastered by London's Curve Pusher from the original sources especially for Mint Condition. 100% legit, licensed and released. Dug, remastered, repackaged and brought to you by the caring folks at your favourite reissue label - Mint Condition!

Paris's Technorama Records will return with yet another release this January, coming by courtesy of Sawlin who offers us up a three- track EP, 'Grand Cinéma'. After the project 'Restless' (TR1), the German producer is finally back on Technorama Records, known for his groundbreaking releases on Delsin Records, Vault Series and his own label Bikiniarz, this adept of a techno without concession comes in here on a different register.
On the A-Side, we can find his unmistakable vein with 'Von Bedeutung', pure techno track which rises whilst maintaining the pressure. On the flip side we have the mid- tempo 'Stepdepp' more 'Burial sound' oriented, groovy and dark at the same time, captivating and resolutely calibrated for the demanding dancefloors. New register with the classy 'Großes Kino' a beautiful example of Uk sound track with deep Detroit sauce. The tracks are resolutely out of the box, yet groovy as hell and meant to be played out loud in underground techno clubs.

Sprightly Galvanizing Bud Spencer Hits

A collection of works and early studies

Apotek Records takes a conversant and pliable approach to this Dialectic EP. Jerome Sydenham opens the technological fray with the title track "Dialectic". Deep swinging rhythms coupled with a deeply rooted dub vocal truly define its essential neoteric sensibilities.
Jerome Sydenham's remix of Macroism's "Drone" is a prime example of take no prisoners Berghain Techno - pure rumpus.
The B-side introduces the sophomore single from hot new Berlin talent Non Reversible. The track "Kuro" is absolutely unapologetic in its discharge of nebulous dark thunder techno. Powerful! On the last cut, Jerome Sydenham gets back behind the splicing desk, breaks out the razor blades and deftly edits the Echoplex classic "Pitch Break". The results is transcendent hypnotic techno bliss.

Nowadays family member Love Letters delivers the next record on Mister Saturday Night records. The Vermont native turned New Yorker delivers a beautiful 5 track release that meanders effortlessly from peak time banger to delicate experimental passages to off kilter poly rhythms. A thoroughly enjoyable listening experience from start to end and the sound of an artist finding their voice and perfecting their craft.

Already a well-established presence on the outlandish fringes of experimental, alternative and dance music, celebrated Israeli duo Red Axes make a surprise left-turn onto Phantasy with a three-track 12', 'Sipoor'. Unsurprisingly, the results are as pleasingly out-there as the occasion requires.

Following on from last year's self-released LP, 'The Beach Goths', 'Sipoor' immediately announces the Axes' uncompromising return to the front and centre of the dancefloor with the raw, provocative 'Bad Time Story'. Brazen, brash acid triggers this particular tale, as Red Axes briskly modulate their way through a ruff, tuff but never less than musical landscape of 303s and 808s.

'Sipoor' takes a more gradual approach to building offbeat rave tension, featuring an unknown male using his native tongue to request some kind of house, some kind of techno and some sort of release. His wish (and we hope, yours) is the Axes' command, as the music goes deep before seamlessly unfolds around a throbbing bassline and a playful, familiar keyboard sample, beckoning feet to the dancefloor and perhaps tongues ever so slightly to cheeks.

Concluding the 12', 'Teroof' takes each of Red Axes' signature ingredients - deeply rhythmic EBM-inspired drums, spiralling electronics, unapologetically odd vocal distortions - and reconstructs them amid what sounds like the Monaco Grand Prix, as high-velocity motors speed past the soundscape, kicking up some serious dust. Red Axes 'Sipoor' drops on Phantasy Sound in 22nd June 2018.

Remastered and recut 2021 reissue of this notorious Svreca release dating back to the early Semantica catalogue. Comes with a stunning Regis remix!
