NEW LIMITED EDITION SERIES FROM DRUMCODE. WITH REMIXES FROM DUSTIN ZAHN.

Repress

An abundant EP of Charlotte de Witte, presenting four carefully crafted tunes, both for peak time and beyond.

Title track Vision is on the prowl, baring its gnarly teeth only for flashes at a time. Even more menacing seems Out of Balance‘ a haunting tempest forming and ready to break loose at any moment.

Kangding Ray surprises on the flip, his tribal stomping remix drawing a whirling vortex, breaking into realms of celestial and colorful trance. Unthoughtful reveals de Witte‘s emotive side, the cinematic stepper perfectly closing out her first release for Figure.

Less than a year after Botanical Illustration takes patience and Skill EP, Giovanni Natalini aka CO-PILOT, comes back on Simona Faraone’s label, New Interplanetary Melodies, with the Green Machine album, which is its natural prosecution: inside it we also find the three tracks previously published by the same label in audio cassette format only (NIM001- MC).

Green Machine is a concept album, which takes up and develops the ecological issues already treated by the artist in his previous work, namely the increasingly tricky dichotomy between nature and machine and the harmful impact of humans on it.

The A side opens with the already published Botanical Illustration takes patience and Skill (A1), an 8 minutes suite in which the powerful Live drum breaks are perfectly combined with synths and vocal samples, transporting us to the tops of exotic mountains, to continue with the ecstatic Himawari (A2) that sounds like a “desert session” made on Mount Fuji, for a result of pure musical mysticism and finally, Mother Love Nature pt.1 (A3), a track that takes us back to more familiar territories, winking at the most experimental British trip hop of recent memory and Mother Love Nature pt.2 (A4) characterized by a background of modular synths and nature sounds effects that precede Giovanni’s powerful drums, underlining once again this perfect fusion of organic and synthesized sounds.

Side B opens with the psychedelic choruses of Dancing Like Fela (B1) supported by synthetic arpeggios and a frenetic drumline sounds like a breakbeat. Continuing along this side, we come to the unsettling use of vocal samples on the beautiful Halo (B2), the ethereal and danceable art-pop of Lost You - In Translation - (B3) to conclude with the evocative Playing the Zurna in Ulan Bator (B4), a track with a pressing rhythm and elegant arrangements that once again underlines Giovanni Natalini’s mastery in mixing sounds and suggestions that are apparently far away but that always find the right place.

Green Machine sounds like a valid attempt to finally find a “solid” balance between humans and nature, but it also demonstrates how the continuous mixing of sounds is the most effective way to escape from the homologation that is increasingly widespread in contemporary society.

Another Repeat Repeat Repeat outing, another ILK reissue. EP 3 was licensed along with Four Freqs EP to round things off. This time breakbeats dominate over the 4/4 patterns with the help of "Phase 2" and "Qwerks", but "Vicious" reminds us that linear grooves are still in the game.

Noir Music is back with their sub-label NM2 focusing on Melodic House & Techno. "NM2039" returns with Kevin De Vries (Afterlife, Cocoon). Title track Vertigo got remixed by Marco Faraone (Drumcode, Rekids).

There's no denying it, we're thrilled to present the next release on EPM Music - a double-header from the M-Plant master himself. Further still, for the first time this EP unites Hood's two dancefloor personalities on a brand new release. With one track as Robert Hood and the other under his Floorplan alias we certainly get the best of both worlds.

Off the back of his comprehensive celebratory compilation, 'M-Print: 20 Years of M-Plant Music' and a gruelling gig schedule, the fact that Hood still finds time to make astounding new music is testament to his unique talent and drive. After all it's a calling for this maestro.

'Shaker' immerses you in those late-night moments when Robert graces the decks. It's pulsating and hypnotic; stripped-back to the essentials. The beats, the groove, the perfectly placed vocal snippet - nothing is superfluous here.

Robert's Floorplan touch is all over 'Ritual'. A shuffling Chi-town flavour, trademark hi-hats and a beast of a bassline underlies the track, with elegant synths that build to dizzying heights.

This is certainly one release that deserves a double-A-side tag.

The EP labirinto 2020 marks a welcome back from Spacetravel that combined the tough, futuristic groove with a solid techno influence full off effect.

''To celebrate the fifteenth release of the ÆX series the Amsterdam label presents a special collaboration with Delsin Records. ÆX started back in 2017 as a white-label offshoot from the Indigo Aera imprint, Jasper Wolff and Maarten Mittendorff had a plan to create a platform with a mix of like-minded unknown, well-known and admired artists. This no-nonsense approach with stamped white labels and uncredited tracks quickly grew up to be one of their most committed projects to date.

Four years later and fourteen releases in, ÆX015 is a special split EP in collaboration with the closely related Delsin Records. Both labels invited three names to present a fresh and dancefloor focussed pack of grooves and moods.

On ÆX's a-side, three familiar faces Taupe, Emeline (also known as the Parisian artist Molly) and label curator Jasper Wolff bring their warm, acidic, bass-heavy grooves in typical fashion. The b-side comes from Delsin who introduces three new artists to the team. R.O.W.S from the Swedish sewer sender crew going in with a miles-deep dub-techno take. From Barcelona, it's Annie Hall with an emotive blend of her crispy electro. As the cherry on top, there's Berlin-based Japan producer Yone-ko wrapping up the pack with grooving hazy house moods.''

A powerful selection of six female and non-binary producers join forces on this compilation full of energy and resilience. Jointly selected from across the globe, Tonic Noise ushers in a new era of bassy and eclectic tracks. Running the gamut from techno to breakbeat, jungle, bass, and electro, Tonic Noise promises to heal at the same time it cranks energy levels ever higher.

Car Culture presents Dead Rock: smooth sounds for end times.

Written over the course of a decade, Dead Rock is a tender ten-tracker of electroacoustic ego dissolution, consciously uncoupling with planetary regret. Suspended tones and frictionless glide for long drives, delayed flights and carbon credits.


The record features three collaborations with Great Skin (Steven Phillips-Horst), as well as instrumentation from Maxime Robillard and Dan Bodan. Their contributions help sketch open road songs for the lonesome, crowded self.

Car Culture is the most hypnagogic al

ARTS objective is to create unique playgrounds, and Keith Carnal is the right man for this work. We present you 4 cuts that are techno weapons used in the right way, emotional, magical & energetic.

Concrete Records LTD sales pack including:
* Luciano Lamanna - Atto di Dolore CLTD009
* Milo McBride - Dafosse CLTD010
* Drvg Cvltvre - The World Is On Fire But We Still Dance Like Twats - Part 2 CLTD011

Soma proudly present a very special label debut from Berlin based Modig with his "Latissimus EP"; 3 powerful and dangerous dance floor weapons backed with a fearsome Blawan remix. Resident at festivals & clubs in his home of Berlin, Modig has been hard at work in his fully analogue studio whipping up pure, raw techno showcasing what is sure to be a talent of the future.

UK don Blawan opens the EP with his interpretation of title track "Latissimus". His unique, funding sound is prevalent from the outset as he turns in a proper jacked up and furious rendering. "The Way It Breaks" is a fast paced, stripped down dance floor pounder. Simple yet effective drums and rhythms lead the way as pads create the depth. The original version of "Latissimus" opens the flip side with it's beautiful yet haunting pads atop hypnotic, grimey vocal slices and jacking beats. Pikes closes out the release with its caustic rhythms and looped out beats creating a real driving and percussive laden track.

The Portuguese scfi maker Nørbak is back home after his "Faktor EP" from January 2019. These non clubbing days look like the perfect scenario for listening to long distance works, so here you have this brand new album to enjoy at your private soundsystem.

"Flesh to Ashes" will be released both physically and digitally, with an extra track on the downloadable version.

Nørbak is well known for his precision and deepness, always pushing forward production wise, focusing on the details and sound design aspects.

The album gravitates between beatless cuts, broken beats, profound exercises and virtual dancefloor weapons.

"Intro" and "Camera" (the extra digital track) belong to the first category, "The third morality" is the broken cut, "Flesh to ashes" and "Land of sin" explore the deepest side of techno and the rest of the tracklist is about peak time tracks.

The overall feeling while listening to this album is travelling out there where no gravity is the mood, swinging among stars and constellations, landing on undiscovered planets... a landscape with no viruses or facemasks or repression.

A collection of a-temporal tracks that will surely pass the test of time and be ready to be playable whenever this nightmare ends.

Brighton-based producer Rene Wise is next to land on Setaoc Mass' SK11_X offshoot, coming off the back of a batch of releases on Luke Slater's respected Mote Evolver imprint and a recent collaboration with Rodhad, with his own purist take on groovy yet hypnotic, minimal techno. Wise offers four variations of precision-drilled rolling club-tools, first with the static-charged, tribal calls of "Pleasure Note", to the bouncier, groove-laced "Swamp Dancer". On the flip side, "Hollow" focuses the intensity, whilst "Changa" completes the home-straight with its boundless energy and delirium inducing synth parts.

Schwefelgelb is a Techno duo from Berlin, known for their raw but precise and cutting productions. Their reputation for a strikingly energetic live show brought them into clubs and festivals around the globe.

It seems almost ironic that in the midst of a pandemic their new 4 track EP "Der Rest Der Nacht" ("The Rest Of The Night") appears to be their clubbiest release ever. Massive kick drums, rave-like leads and hard-hitting impacts encapsulated in a detailed production - a sound that makes you long for dark concrete industrial clubs.

NPLX002 comes on 140 g colored vinyl and a download code and will be released 28th of May. The digital version contains a bonus remix by Randomer. (Presale starts 7th of May.) Previous releases on aufnahme+wiedergabe, Fleisch Records and Minimal Wave Records' imprint Cititrax have been frequently played by acclaimed DJs (Phase Fatale, Randomer, VTSS, Amelie Lens, Regis, Helena Hauff, Veronica Vasicka, Silent Servant to name a few).

Veteran German duo and masters of the deep TIEFSCHWARZ bring an infectious double header to Suara complete with remixes from Sinfol and Marco Faraone.

‘Some Thing’ opens up with a saturated big room belter. An intensity built through analogue weight, sonar pulses and glitching synth sounds trade off against fiery cymbals and peppered rim shots. That enigmatic vocal reverberates through the ether, giving an deep and mysterious touch to the track.

Next up, ‘Thinking Of You’ treads a more cerebral path, twisting it’s way through the mind with surging yet soft pads, fizzing rides and siren-like swells. Sci fi tuned vocals add a touch of dystopian darkness to this intergalactic treat.

On the B side, Sinfol steps up to turn ‘Thinking Of You’ into a harder hitting industrial bomb complete with throbbing strings, monstrous synthlines and firecracker percussion, distorting the vocals to add even more menace. Finally, Italy’s Marco Faraone takes ‘Some Thing’ into roller territory with a mesmerising groove powered by a thumping kick that works magically with that mystifying vocal.

SW11 brings together fourteen artists with divergent styles of electronic music.
From energetic frequencies to thoughtful melodies, the Secret Weapons Part 11 provides a mixture of different approaches to the musical creative process by new and familiar faces.

A work 12 months in the making, Adam Beyer continues his exciting series of collaborative EPs, teaming up with heavy-hitters Pig&Dan for an multi-faceted four-tracker.
Chances are up if you spied Adam Beyer in an airport departure lounge over the past 12 months, he'd have his head buried in his laptop, immersed in creating sound sketches.

A long-time fan of collaborations, the Drumcode chief has been on an inspiring streak of form lately, teaming up with the likes of Mark Reeve, Dense & Pika and now Pig&Dan. The results have been compelling, to say the least.

In trademark perfectionist Beyer style, the title track 'Capsule' - a
shimmering slice of techno - involved "around 15 different versions" the track rigorously road tested by the Swede and featured in episodes of Drumcode Radio to test dancefloor reactions, before finally getting the sign off.

'In Love' is a big room techno groover, driven by crisp drums and the kind of evocative vocal effect that'll have hairs standing on ends.'Atmosfear' is true to its name, centered on a menacing synth line and gritty percussion, its deep kicks and subterranean bass combining superbly to create a heady dancefloor brew. 'We Are E' is propelled by a catchy synth hook and a classic call-to-arms vocal, which tips its cap to the artists' shared love of classic UK rave.'Dan's a cool cat. Early in the piece I found out he actually played a role in producing an early Stone Roses album - they're one of my all-time favourite Brit Pop acts. He also used to be an old drum'n'bass producer for many years in London throughout the '90s. If you listen to the track 'We Are E', that's very UK rave inspired.

That's common ground we both have, as I was heavily into D&B and jungle. We spent a lot of time talking about old records and samples. It was fun finding out we share similar interests." - Adam Beyer

Alleged Witches debut album breaks down centuries of human labour into an eight-part instruction manual for company best practice, stock control and tips for the optimum commute. The final break from nature, it's Pagan funeral marches, insect rhythms and doomed ambience for one last trip up the river. Artwork from Bill Connors.

Doug Lee returns to the label under his AN-I moniker, this time collaborating with prolific Greek producer Unhuman on a new four track ep. This is what happens when you take all the right elements of techno, punk and industrial music and smash them together; a fucked up and devastating hybrid of blistering modern electronics. Heavy, but not stark by any means, Lee channels his inner Liasions with his vocal performace through the record. Most notably this is heard on the cut Entschuldigung, snotty laughs and scattered barks accent the stuttered drums and ms-20 feedback; Lee bringing it all together in a sarcastic funked up fashion. Five to Nine sees both producers complimenting each other expertly, clocking in with the most "dancefloor" cut on the ep...a twisted five minutes of screaming psychedelic dance that reaches an epic anti-climax of sorts. A true hit for those who know how to use it right, not to be missed.

AUX88 did it......They Brought the first of the Mad Scientist Cd Release tracks from there pivotal LP. Finally original mixes on vinyl. AUX88 proves once again not only are they one of the best live bands in electronic music, but one of the genres funkiest groups in the world......continuing where Cybotron and Drexciya left off to a style all their own. Aux88 along with Drexciya single handily brought the electro genre back in the late 80’s

1) "Voice Modulation"- Vocals are what set Aux88 apart from everyone else; the beat is dark and precise with thumping bass line.

2) "Mad Scientist"- K-1 on vocals shows you why they loved making this LP and tour everything was used on these tracks analog and digital........................Mad Scientist they have created a true masterpiece. The Lp was dedicated to the late James Stinson

Beyond Space And Time is the new record label from Japanese music festival, Rainbow Disco Club (RDC). RDC has been welcoming music loving people to Japan for over a decade. Throughout the festival's history, the organisers have been fortunate to collaborate with amazing performers and DJs who’ve provided a beautiful dancefloor year in, year out. These relationships have lead RDC to start their own label, and they are now given the opportunity to reveal one of the best-kept secrets: What is in a DJ's record bag?

This time around, festival regular DJ Nobu kindly opens up his collection, and shares the music he loves with us all. On visual duty we welcome Senekt - his representational yet contemporary drawing illustrates the emotion we feel from DJ Nobu.

DJ Nobu selects Pan Sonic's epic Lähetys /Transmission, for this limited one sided 7". It is the first time this track has been released on vinyl. The release is meant as a preview to his forthcoming vinyl compilation from DJ Nobu - a 2LP voyage that navigates much of his musical background, and includes all time favorites.

DJ Nobu describes the track this way…
"Electronic music has existed for decades, and if you are to choose some of the best from all scattered & hidden pieces, Pan Sonic's 'Lähetys / Transmission' must be considered. The track emerges beautifully - breaking structures and transcending the past. Every layer of the piece is produced with such delicacy and care, that as a whole it magically drags you into the world of the unknown."

We have much more music to come in future from artists and DJs that we trust and respect.

Ninja Tune’s Leon Vynehall veröffentlicht 12” mit neuem Song!

Leon Vynehall veröffentlicht seine neue 12” „I, Cavallo“ auf Ninja Tune! Dunkel, pochend und intensiv ansteckend, richtet er seinen Fokus auf einen dichten und nervenaufreibenden Raum. Leon Vynehall hat sich in kurzer Zeit als Künstler mit echten handwerklichen Fähigkeiten etabliert. Er bringt ein viel breiteres Spektrum an Skills und Einflüssen in die elektronische Musik ein. Sein umfassender Ansatz wurde im Juni letzten Jahres durch sein faszinierendes Debütalbum „Nothing Is Still“ auf Ninja Tune bestätigt, das von der Kritik hoch gelobt wurde. Unter anderem sprach hierzulande der Deutschlandfunk von „literarischer Clubmusik“, Groove beschrieb das Album als „fesselnde und wunderschöne Platte“ und Spex meinte, „‚Nothing Is Still’ klingt erstaunlich kohärent.“.

F.T.V. Rec. is a label run by JenZi, based in Baden, Switzerland dedicated
to dirty beats ranging from classic house to hip-hop.
The Beat Poet is dropping 4 cuts of lyrical patterns and mad wizardry on
JenZi's 'From The Vaults' label. Following Sneaker's EP's of 'Meet The
Heat' and 'Rhythm Composer', we have here another exercise in drum
programming and syncopated rhythms. Groove and acid. Drama,
culmination and relief.
'Beat Goes On' is an 808+303 jam with long-term collaborator and
solder-king Jacob Korn. Sneaker gave the message a voice - with a classic
acappella from the Orbit.
Exploiting the classic Dancemania drum machine, 'Dr. Rhythm' dazzles
you with a doubletime kick, triplet toms, tropical cuíca screams and
scratches - and when you just begin to find yourself again, it slaps your
red cheeks with more whipping snares.

'Wild Pitch' is again an 808+303 jam – this time with Dresden's old school
legend DJ Smiley. The track pays tribute to and re-interprets DJ Pierre's
Wild Pitch sound from NYC's Strictly Rhythm period. The closing track
'Feedback' switches TEE-styled Latin rhythm box variations while
layering a feedback progression ranging from subwoofer lo's to ear
piercing hi's. Flip it over! Feed it back again!

Thomas P. Heckmann's 30th Anniversary Special Edition ! LTD Splatter Repress !

Continuing his very successful series that is Acid Seduction, Thomas delivers number 5 with brand new tunes from his Acid universe ! From Acid-Rave to Acid-Electro to Acid-Techno and Freak Out it’s all included under this one umbrella that is the Acid Seduction series !

Samo Records' second release comes from Australia's Tunnel Signs, who has previously released on Cutters Records, Nein Records, Days of Being Wild, to name a few.'Ultraviolet,' a ready-for-the-floor collaboration with Moderna (Ghostly, Lumiere Noir), blends a stick-in-your-head vocal with hard electro for radiantly retrofuturistic results. 'Carbonate' emanates classic industrial vibes with a heavy, pumping bassline and soaring, melodic synths. The Markus Gibb (RTTB) remix of 'Ultraviolet' strips the original of its prominent synths while adding a healthy dose of slinky, hypnotic beats and dissonant samples. WT Records' Willie Burns turns 'Carbonate' into a big-room-rave anthem: driving rhythms punctuated by noisy squelches under heavy synth loops.

Unknøwn Assailant is a limited run vinyl only label shrouded in mystery. Each of the four tracks on the first release touches on a different style of techno ranging from cinematic acid of “Forgiveness But No Surender” to the peak time energy and in your face style of “Silent Scream”.

Incorporating the dark and stripped back minimal style of “Whippet” along with the clunky dance floor groove of “The Sickness” it is a well-rounded eclectic package that fuses analogue textures with ambient moods and bursts of energy.

Each of the tracks have been made in collaboration with an artist who wishes to keep their identity a secret, so the music does the talking for itself. Unknøwn Assailant pins the release together featuring on each of the collaborations, and the four Silent Assassins range from artists known for their top selling releases on well-known labels to others lesser known in the realms of techno.

This release is limited to a vinyl pressing of only 200 copies with more in the series of secretive releases to follow in the coming months.

'Obsession' is 30drop's tribute to Genesis P-Orridge's figure and artistic legacy, a way of understanding art which unfortunately is in disuse. Speedy J contributes his vision with a remix, creating an exceptional wall of sound piece. Released in very limited & numbered dubplate edition.

Stefan Schwander has been releasing his heavily processed and sequenced take on African music and American minimalism under his Harmonious Thelonious moniker since 2008. His new EP on meakusma is only the second one on a non-German label. On two tracks, Schwander takes his trademark rhythmically and melodically repetitive sound into straightforward Techno territory, although some heavy phasing gives the raw power and stoic repetition of these tracks an ambientish, post-club feel. Two other tracks further develop his typically eclectic and informed sound, playing live organ on one of them, displaying a jittery and jumpy rhythmic style that looks for a groove that until now did not exist. Jesse Hackett, a.k.a. Elmore Judd, delivers a remix that takes the original firmly into 'My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts' territory, giving melody and rhythm a more open sense of space, and layering it with vocal samples to further add to a sense of Funk alienation. This is serious and exhilarating music!

Banging and full of surprise... As Usual Industrial propaganda bring the noise and wil ldrive you crazy...
The flip bring 2 remix.

FAT STUFF !

Following on from the deranged machine mulch of the Cru Servers we proudly announce the second record on the label to emerge from our native south side of Glasgow. Lo Kindre is the solo project of Irish/Luxembourgish bedroom producer, amateur footballer and award-winning bartender Daniel Magee. Crawling out from the undergrowth at the speed of a snail with dreadlocks this six track EP builds upon his previous venture for Optimo Music and manages to enchant in many of the same ways. Chlorophytum ticks all of the right boxes, sitting somewhere between a budding sci-fi homage, drum machine escapism and a fascination with the motorik styles of West Germany and the wider On-U continuum. Lo Kindre's sound has recently developed by way of countless hours spent twiddling with delay units alongside vintage Italian football commentary and murky casks of Tennents, and has culminated here in the following six tracks. The seventh 12th Isle now ecstatically morphs from our galaxy into yours.
