Techno Vinyl New Releases - News

Second release on the Copenhagen imprint, featuring tracks by DJ IBON, Lund&Ronde and Escaping Tendency, all from the local BunkerBauer crew. The release consists of three fast and trance infused tracks for the floor, and makes a contribution to the current flowering of Copenhagen dance music.

BunkerBauer is a DJ and producer collective, and has been a central institution in the Copenhagen techno scene for several years. All tracks are produced in the BunkerBauer studios which is located in an old bunker from World War 2, in the center of the city.

On the A-side there is Lund&Ronde's rolling hardtrance inspired banger. The B-side contains DJ Ibon's long awaited "White Flag", a melancholic percussion driven techno tune, followed by the wax debut of Escaping Tendency, a more slow and groovy track.

Ex-Voto is the first page in a new story, where French techno artist Nao Nhil looks inwards to find pools of sonic hypnosis. Taking inspiration from both techno and ambient music, Nao Nhil explores the outer reaches of contemporary, dancefloor expression, striking a delicate balance between body and mind. Contrasts between percussive roughness and slick execution, or between brooding darkness and beams of radiance, colour the sound and hold your gaze. The pristine techno construction of "Ex-Voto" tunnels deep into Nao Nhil's core, unearthing the roots from which the laser-cut drone of "Primal Atom" and the stepping kaleidoscope of "Psylle" were born.

Stefan Theia is an integral part of the Berlin techno scene. For more than 15 years he stands for innovative and unique sound as well as high-quality productions.

His new EP distinguishes itself through a fascinating concept, where physics, natural phenomena and the connections in life take center stage.

Main themes such as energy and interactions in time and space are processed into music in a very impressive way.

The result is a real masterpiece consisting of five energetic tracks full of uplifting rhythms, hard beats and dynamic synthesizers.

The second track “Euphoria“ is so full of energy that it almost seems like it could remove all scientific regularities.

Theia manages to maintain a very high level throughout the whole EP. The connection between the vision of the artist and the single tracks can be easily recognized and are consistent.This makes “The theia“ an absolute must for all lovers of electronic music!

In addition to that, it is the basis for a large-scale series of upcoming productions, where Stefan Theia tries to give a musical answer to the question about the meaning of life.

The start is very promising and it will be very exciting to see what come next. We are already looking forward to the sequel!

Named after our Patreon community You Belong Here is an ode to the irreplaceable feeling of belonging we all miss. Moving in unison with hundreds, thousands of other people in sync to the same beat. The Past Is Over is true in every moment and something we want to celebrate now more than ever! (Thomas Schumacher)

New mysterious no name label dropping 4 amazing House tracks, from well known artists showing their skills.
The label is focussing on downtempo, warm deep, soulful, and sexy House music, handstamped.
Make sure you get your hands on this before its gone.

"UK Electronics 1988-1994" is the sound of an era, via the very personal vision of a young Englishman who would spend all of his dole money on the production of underground compilation cassettes spanning across electro, early techno, ambient, experimental, house and industrial music, all while keeping it cohesive.

Grammy nominated producer and DJ Boys Noize made his anticipated Defected debut with ‘Mvinline’ earlier this summer, unveiling a captivating and uplifting house cut you can’t help but groove to. Now available on a special 12” package, this infectious, self-assured cut sounds better than ever on wax. A name synonymous with quality dance music, this joyous release kicks off with the original track, as the German producer explores his roots with a funk-laden, classic house beat. On the flip, the previously unreleased ‘Mvinline Svn’ strips back the familiar vocal for a more club-focussed cut. Finally, closing out the package is ‘Tomfvm’, another vinyl exclusive, laden with percussive drums and a thundering bass that shows a different side the renowned producer’s style.

Unusual times, bring unusual records. So marks 'Hanabi' one of Desroi's most diaphanous works to date. After weaving through deluges of heaviness and penetrating synth lines we are promptly subjected to the ease and effortlessness of tracks such as the title track "Hanabi" or "Stripped From Light . Those tracks stress the fine line between bliss and darkness.

DJ Disrespect returns for Classic Cuts Volume 2 continuing his armageddon of sound that will guide you through the final chapters of the 2020 year of doom!

Split #1 marks the debut of a new vinyl series, to be hosted on the Various Artists catalogue of Pi Electronics. The split series will be bringing two artists on the same vinyl, with this very first release presenting music by Greek producers Fragedis and Nemmett.

Coming from different backgrounds of electronic music, prolific figure of the Cretan islands' dance scene, Fragedis and one of the Athenean founding members of the "π" crew, Nemmett, contribute their sharpest weapons to this release.

On the A-side, Fragedis delivers a techno/breaks cut of dystopian melodies and vocal samples with his opening track "Flantza". His second track, "Klirish" blends industrial leaning percussions with Detroit techno flavored synths.

On the flip side, Nemmett returns with his trademark industrial / breaks sound, in a hypnotic, rap vocal atmosphere with the track "Altars". His broken beat influences go more noise with his second track "Teeth", which concludes the B-side of the vinyl.

Exclusive: The "excerpt" version of "Teeth" is available only on the Pi electronics Bandcamp page.

Following up 2020's Inner Call, Jeroen Search returns to Token with another serving of characteristically hypnotic purism. Aether draws on classic, tripping motifs designed for maximum drive.

Opener Nightshade kicks off proceedings with a stylish lead sequence. Dry and effective, the track makes the most of its limited components, opening up briefly for a considered breakdown before returning to the driving repetition that will come to define the record. Zero Day Exploit follows-another crisp, beautifully executed composition that bears all the hallmarks of a seasoned engineer. On the flip, title track Aether brings some extra swing to proceedings, with drum machine patterns building tension as the main riff twists over its run time. Closer Rejection Rate sees the record out, a dense peak time roller complete with elegant chord stabs.

Lilies label heads Sailor Juul and DJ Lily release their first collaborative EP, following up the pounding debut with their "Wellness" remix for Billie Jo on LILIES7. Four carefree, no holds barred, high-energy tracks to play for your bestie.

(en) Terence Fixmer goes Beneath The Skin on his first solo release on Ostgut Ton.
There's few names that have left their mark on electronic music throughout time like Terence Fixmer did. The French producer has been releasing music since 1993 most notably under his own name, but also with his music wise wide-ranging alter egos Eisbär, Cyborg, Gemini 9, Scanner and - together with Nitzer Ebb's Douglas McCarthy - as Fixmer / McCarthy. It's thanks to people like him that Electronic Body Music eventually traversed towards contemporary club contexts and now remains being a defining part of dancefloors in general, or a

Klubnacht in particular. By combining the aesthetics of EBM, Electro and Industrial music with the rhythmics of Techno, Fixmer coined and occupied his very own musical niche as a producer and live act.
At Ostgut Ton we've always been intrigued by Terence's production style, his use of hard synth lines, guttural vocal samples, sharp-edged hi-hats, or to cut the matter short: his deep, glowering approach to sequencer Techno with EBM jabs. Therefore it's great seeing him continue this path with four new tracks on the Beneath The Skin EP, following up on 2015's Aktion Mekanik Theme Versions that featured remixes of the Music Man Records classic Aktion Mekanik Theme' by Ostgut Ton's Kobosil, Marcel Dettmann and Norman Nodge.
As aforementioned Beneath The Skin comprises the various musical facets of a Klubnacht: dark, pounding slaps and discomforting yet soaring synths ( Beneath The Skin'), Acid Techno modulations and lone voices in the dark ( Trace To Nowhere'),

hypnotic synth progressions and ambient textures ( Devil May Care') and finally some rest and soothing ( Immersion').
(de) Terence Fixmer debütiert mit der Beneath The Skin EP auf Ostgut Ton.
Es gibt wenige Namen, die elektronische Musik im Laufe der Zeit derart geprägt haben, wie Terence Fixmer. Der französische Produzent veröffentlicht seit 1993 Musik unter seinem bürgerlichen Namen, aber auch unter seinen musikalisch weitgefächerten Alter Egos Eisbär, Cyborg, Gemini 9, Scanner und - zusammen mit Nitzer Ebbs Douglas McCarthy - als Fixmer / McCarthy. Es ist Leuten wie ihm zu verdanken, dass Electronic Body Music in zeitgenössische Clubkontexte einzog und heute definierender Teil von Dancefloors im Allgemeinen und einer Klubnacht im Besonderen ist. Durch die Kombination von Ästhetiken aus EBM, Electro und Industrial-Musik mit der Rhythmik von Techno hat Fixmer als Produzent und Live-Act seine eigene Nische geprägt und besetzt.
Wir von Ostgut Ton waren stets fasziniert von Fixmers Produktionsstil, seinem Einsatz harter Synthlines, gutturaler Stimmsamples, scharfkantiger Hi-Hats, oder um es abzukürzen: seinem deepen, grollenden Sequencer-Techno-Ansatz mit EBM-Stichen. Deshalb sind wir hocherfreut, dass er diesen Weg mit vier neuen Stücken auf der Beneath The Skin EP geht und damit auf die Single Aktion Mekanik Theme Versions (Ostgut Ton, 2015) anknüpft - auf der man Remixes seitens der Ostgut Ton-Künstler Kobosil, Marcel Dettmann und Norman Nodge von Fixmers Music Man Records-Klassiker - Aktion Mekanik Theme hörte.
Wie gesagt vereint Beneath The Skin die unterschiedlichen musikalischen Facetten einer Klubnacht: Düstere, hämmernde Schläge und unbehagliche aber erhebende Synths (- Beneath The Skin ), Acid Techno-Modulationen und verlorene Stimmen im Dunkel des Raums (- Trace To Nowhere ), hypnotische Synth-Progressionen und Ambientflächen (- Devil May Care ) und schließlich: Ruhe und Linderung (- Immersion ).

Insurrection vol l is the first various artists on Dstm Records. This edition hosts very talented young artists already known and supported in the world of techno. Aahan, Pier, Don Woezik, Lars Huismann & Casual Treatment release 4 works to turn the heads of the most passionate ravers.

Establishing the label further into the scene desroi003 follows up with 3 diverse tracks. The A-side delivers a peak-time track while B1 goes deeper and more hypnotic. To round this release off, B2 is an ambient-seeming techno track, with mellow pads and lush drum works.

Acid Techno supergroup The Wipeouts (Chris Liberator, Sterling Moss, Aaron Liberator) return with 2 cheeky adrenalin fuelled cuts of twisted 303's, hard-as-nails beats, and tongue-in-cheek vocals. On the flip Geezer and Rats On Acid deliver rolling Acid Techno shenanigans, with Geezer finishing off the EP with his firebrand chunky beats. A 4 track instant Acid party!!

For me, it has never been a more important time to create and release music. When it feels like everything is crumbling down around me, nothing can hold me together and lift me up the way that making music can. Nothing can connect me with spirit and purpose the way that creating something from nothing does. Making music creates pathways for connection and community too. It may be harder and more rare for us to be together physically right now, but when we are listening to the same music, we are weaving an undeniable connection with each other. CORE SCENE is totally inspired by my 90’s roots - have a listen and tell me what you feel (Thomas Schumacher)

Long time Knotweed and DMT supporter Mattias Fridlell approached us with some tracks he recently produced with his friend Alexander Johansson. We immediately knew that this was going to translate into a piece of wax. Expertly crafted, perfectly mixed, this is a beautiful excursion into deep hypnotic techno like no other.

Morbeck is one of the key figures of the Berlin underground scene, which makes him a fitting piece of the puzzle to Wunderblock Records' hyper-formulated techno vision.

A resident DJ and purveyor of the club scene in Berlin, Morbeck has released on numerous labels but his most recent achievement stands as his 2013 set up of imprint "Code Is Law", a home for creativity in the techno universe. Now he delivers infectious EP "Berlin 95" drawing on acid and techno influences and blending his unique style with a love for the 80's and 90's that inspired him so.

First up we have title track "Berlin 95", nothing less than a forward-thinking acid trance techno to get the heart racing and showcase Morbeck in his production skills.

The vibe gets heavier on "Melody Massacre", a slow-burner featuring heaving percussion and snipped ethereal vocals and synth work which intoxicate the listener.

"Frankfurt 2000" is a swirling mass of shimmery percussion, employing those frantic synths which are synonymous with 90's rave culture that Morbeck is so inspired by.

The last track on the EP finalises an outstanding set, an addictive vocal pattern is combined with twinkling melodies and a moody bass, setting the tone alight.

Berlin 95 EP is just another star to add to Morbeck's list of accomplishments, its uniquely produced elements making it a timeless piece of classic techno.

"Based on Instinct" is the first solo EP of Atmophile Electronics cofounder Sharad Sood. All 4 tracks are composed in playful hardware jams, each following its own concept, from synthesis approach over rhythmic structures and recording techniques up to the editing process. Keeping a techno feel at heart this release is a representation of his never ending urge to experiment in the field of music creation and audio engineering.

Adam Beyer drops his first EP of 2016, teaming up with Dense & Pika to birth the powerful collaborative work 'Going Down'.

Over a 20-year period, Drumcode has grown to become arguably the most influential force in techno, but at the core of this success, is always the personal aspect for label boss Adam Beyer. The connections he forms as a result of music - whether with fans or his family of artists who release on the label - are his lifeblood and give him the most pleasure.

One such relationship that's blossomed since they first released on Drumcode in 2015, is with Dense & Pika (AKA Alex Jones and Chris Spero). Sharing both a similar work-flow and a dry sense of humour, the connection rings true on their first collaborative EP that took shape after Beyer spent two days bunkered down in the Brit's studio after Junction 2 in June.

Highlighting sets everywhere from Awakenings during ADE to Spazio 900 in Rome, the tracks are hard-hitting master studies in industrial-edged techno. 'Going Down' is built around a deep menacing vocal, as subterranean bass drums, thundering kicks and a sinister synth line combine for a high impact finish. 'Future' is a chunky stomper perfect for the winter warehouse party season, as multi-layered synths and effects rub shoulders with heavy-set drums to ensure this one hits its target.

'I've always liked collaborations - they bring out the best in me. I'm also a big fan of Dense & Pika's raw sound, so this worked well. Chris and Alex are great to produce with and are really clear with their vision when they make music. I like their work techniques where they a running things through hardware and recording live takes and cutting them up in DAW (Digital Audio Workstation). I used to work a lot like that in the past, so we have a similar work-flow. They are also funny in a dry English sort of way which suits me perfectly." - Adam Beyer

Moss Co., sister label to Archie Hamilton's Moscow imprint, returns with its 10th release, a four tracker from Hanfry Martinez & Alexis Cabrera that is both club ready and forward thinking in equal measure. A cross-continent collaboration, the 'Minutas' EP plays perfectly to the strengths of Tenerife's Hanfry and Argentina's Alexis, emanating the precise sound that Moss Co. loves to champion.

'Facas' leads the way with an unabashed breakbeat and zephyr-like hook, leaving space for playful midbass tones and experimental keys, behaving in a purposefully erratic manner. 'Buli´n' follows with driving, dissonant synths that maintain momentum as a weighty and funk-laden bassline enters the fray.
On the flip is title track 'Minutas', rich in sparkling frequencies, snappy percussive programming and the kind of lazy bass motif that is primed for the beaches of Mamaia. 'Copeti´n' closes the EP with a hazy bassline and gentle, rolling subs complimented via crystalline drum patterns and tripped out FX processing.

Handstamped double 12" various artists LP with photographic insert, dymo numbered, ltd edition of 100.

Max came to my place with Buchla and we spent a week in the studio, back in 2013 or 2014.

It was all improvised, just recording tons of stuff. I then afterwards went through the recordings and did some editing, selecting suitable parts etc. And then produced the material. I released two EPs on my own label also back in 2014 i think.

Now i went through the archives and chose unreleased tracks, produced and mixed them in 2020.

It's my kind of techno... fast and wild.

Their eponymous debut album was released on April 20, 2009. Perhaps the secret of Modeselektor's and Apparat's collaboration lies in the fact that they never even tried to get close to one another. Modeselektor's thundering bass rumbles in the cellar, Apparat's sensitive and subtle melodies float high in the eaves. The fact that what one assumes to be incompatible actually communicates, is what makes Moderat so unique.

Moderat is not just a studio project: with a set of visuals created for these concerts by Pfadfinderei, they toured all five continents and will do again immediately after the release of the new album.

4 years after the debut album Modeselektor and Apparat have come together once again: more mature, but not worldly-wise, wiser but not unquestioning, more experienced but without having sacrificed any of their pioneer spirit.

Pitch Black’s Futureproof, a landmark in New Zealand electronica, finally gets a vinyl release 23 years after it first came out.

The album distilled two years of relentless touring of New Zealand into a sweeping colossus full of epic soundscapes and rumbling basslines, pounding rhythms and mind-bending effects, showcasing Pitch Black’s dubwise styles to full, bass-bin busting effect.

DJ – producer – Armando Almeida become alive influenced by the most emblematic places on the city of Berlin such as Berghain,Tresor,Space Hall,Hard Wax. Almeida stays based to his Colombian roots by inspiring himself with innovating the message of electronic music nowadays.

Born in Cartagena, Colombia and raised in Caserta, Italy – in a small town near Napoli – Almeida had already begun to develop his passion for electronic music in his youth by launching many different projects which did leave the proper message and early support by many relevant artists of the main Electronic/Techno scene around the world.

Sounds from people like- Mad proffessor,The scientist,Depeche Mode, Moderat,Planetary Assault System,Drexiya,French Fries,,Apparat,Marcell Dettmann,Anthony Parasole to name a few, as well as post-punk,industrial and folkloric Colombian Music did make start his interest on electronic music since the beginning of his journey.

Heavily influenced by a city like Berlin that breaths Techno everywhere, he gradually found his way into creating an unique sound, which lead him to the forefront of the European techno scene.

Many of his friends saw Almeida frequenting Berlin’s nightlife. This included club institutions Berghain & Tresor which where his school to really understand the meaning of this movement, after many (including self-organised) parties, his turning point came; Armando Almeida began Almeida Music – more focused and secure than ever about it!

Almeida has been a hard working Dj-Producer, spending many hours in the studio.

With the current rise of Almeida Music, Almeida shows no sign of stop!

Almeida quests tirelessly for new ways and inspiration to further develop his own concept of electronic music. His label A.M.R. (Almeida Music Records) serves as a platform upon which to shape his musical vision, and through its releases, to launch new talents onto the techno scene.

Outside of the club context, Armando Almeida has established himself as a multi-tasking artist. He work mostly of the time in sound design, postproduction, music for SPA.

As a passionate DJ, Almeida seeks to bring his listeners to sounds that will change the moment you are living 360º, balanced by emotional and surprising moments throughout his sets. Between pure techno, Acid Rave Sound, experimental, tracks old school and new age of the past century, Armando Almeida express feelings by atom vibrations.

Bestial Mouth's creations in the last two years, the INSHROUDSS EP and the RESURRECTEDINBLACK LP, are the phoenix cries of the project's rebirth under the guiding hand of vocalist Lynette Cerezo, melding noise and darkwave pop into a theatre of skin-shredding catharsis that brings the project’s post-punk roots to new levels of club-ready destruction—equal parts intensity and accessibility.

THOUSANDNEEDLES pierces that veil with warped reimaginings of both releases, from a diverse selection of artists in the dark underground. Each brings their own unique twist, whether it's to a dance ritual of pounding EBM and industrialized techno, fog-shrouded darkwave dives, cosmic washes of synthpop bliss, or soul-smashing noise dredged from a sewer cathedral. Dance through the pain, and make new paths of your scars.

"Following 2017’s Rotlicht EP (PEACH003), Shanti Celeste & Gramrcy are very happy to welcome back Chekov for the first Peach release of 2020. The Aerated EP (PEACH009) collects four tracks built from the heart, made for the head and body."

Opaque Light Blue

Top-Remix-EP zum Debütalbum "Shadows In Blue" des Bristoler Produzenten Hodge aka Jacob Martin, das während des ersten Lockdowns im April 2020 erschien und gekonnt Dancefloor-Sensibilitäten mit experimentellen Tendenzen verband. Nun - zum zweiten Lockdown - profilieren sich die Remixer: Anz (Hessle Audio) und AYA (4-Seiten CRACK-Feature), beide aus Manchester, Facta & K-Lone aus Bristol, Shanti Celeste (die kürzlich Caribou remixte), Techno-Veteran Surgeon und der derzeit mega gehypte Footwork-Produzent Kush Jones aus NYC. 12" auf gedeckt-hellblauem Vinyl.

Four tracks from pure personal expression. ‘A’ face begins with an “Intromorfosis”, an intro with a smooth decay to focus the listener to whats coming next. Brings feelings and expression from the artists, rebelliousness and political reasoning. From the latin word ‘morfosis’, you can be aware of the current social situation of regressive changes. Second track, ‘Druida’, total body music, techno driven to break beats, together with metal synths and pads.


On the other hand, on ‘B’ face, the artist brings out cruelty and darkness side from Nodrize’s spaceship, how i define the musical journey in the career of our artists, that also gives name to his Label.
‘Destined to Extinction’, distortion, metal, synthes out of tone, keeping the power during the whole track, exalting the break rhythmic drums to result in an excellent piece for the dance floor. As last, the garden’s monster from Irrational Language, it shows a soundscape with different passages, that split the animal side and the acid line to end together in a brutal end.


An Ep that defines the sound from Structured for this first release, and that will definitely work on different dance floors around the world.

Ever since his early teenager days Kareem El Morr has been working on tracks in the studio. Techno was and has always been the basis. Dirty, raw and in a positive way escalating are his sets, which he has been playing since the mid of the noughties. Not being limited when playing in the clubs or producing in the studio makes him undisputedly one of the most versatile artists in Munich. How multi-faceted he is, is now being shown on his latest RFR release.

“Supersonic” throws the gate open wide to electroid sceneries. Not a few will be reminded of I-F’s “Playstation” by the first sounds of the decently wobbeling bassline. Sick bassline variations, breaky drum parts and a pinch of Neo-Goa – any questions? „Quake“ portrays Morr’s infinite and unconditional love to Techno. Reminiscences of Detroit’s High Tech Jazz are floating relentlessly through widely varied rooms, which we absolutely adore since the Basic Channel era.
On the flip Morr expands his driving functionality by a melodic component. “Blaze” kicks in with a lot of delay, distorted bells and Highspeed drums. This ain’t no dance, this is a ceremony! „Trance with Benefits“ marks the ending of the “Supersonic EP”. Pictures of wafts of mist, whose intensity is being ruptured by the first rays of sunlight penetrating the club on an early Sunday morning. Happy people lying in each other’s arms, unified by the principle that Techno would be nothing without Trance.
