Techno Vinyl New Releases - News

Acid hard techno and acidcore. Raving Belgian style. Marbled records.

Bedouin’s Human By Default recruits Upercent for the four-track ‘Inconformisme EP’ this May.

Previously recording for Watergate, Kompakt and Adana Twins’ TAU, the Valencia-based DJ/producer arrives on Bedouin’s imprint for his debut appearance on the label, delivering some of his most accomplished productions to date on vinyl.

Across the record, Upercent displays combines his wide range of musical influences into a set of engaging downtempo dancefloor cuts with impeccable attention to detail. Opener ‘Elefants’ twists various acoustic instruments and vocal samples around soft shakers and warm low end, leading into theloose percussion of ‘Fluir’, grounded by a softly thudding kick amongst fluttering and glitched out FX.

On the flip, ‘Caduco’ combines the natural and the synthetic as hand percussion meets sharp synth stabs and glowing pads. ‘Hipocresia’ twists mangled horns over a low slung backbeat.

The new sub-label from WNCL Recordings features 12 short “tools” per release, for use on discotheque sound systems and home stereos alike. Released on 10” vinyl with digital to follow at a later date.

Denham Audio – the next generation of breakbeat scientists from the land of bleep and clonk – take some time out from their world domination plans to grace the Library Tool Kit series with an essential collection of heavy duty miniatures.

This is the 16th release on RIOT Radio Records, an independent techno label based in Scotland.

Jerome Hill lives and breathes music with his productions, sets and record labels being educational and hedonistic in equal measures. He’s a label owner, party organiser, scratcher, dot joiner and arguably the best proper pumpin’ party DJ in the world. He’s the founder of “Don’t” recordings, “Fat Hop” records, “Super Rhythm Trax” and 1992 rave themed “Hornsey Hardcore” with his own releases, all of which are absolute honkin’ belters, featuring prominently on labels that are lucky enough to have his work printed with them.
This release sees the welcome return of Jerome to RIOT Radio Records for a second outing with three original tracks and a blustering ‘Bar Room Rumble’ of a remix by those Swedish lunatics TSR. The Don’t master is once again on top form with his own unique style of funkin’ and bumpin’ and wonk to make you stomp. It’ll even shake your body’s as yet undiscovered Cuban hip movements to bust a move or two from the over indulgent rhumba mayhem it’ll stir up within.
WARNING: THESE BAR ROOM RUMBLINGS ARE SURE TO CAUSE THE TORMENTOR TO AWAKEN

This is the 8th release on RIOT Radio Records, an independent techno label based in Scotland.

This 12" is the 3rd of many releases to stem from our V/A - 'STAY TUNED Sampler Vol. I' LP whereby each artist on that compilation will be getting their own individual release.

Martyn's output is nothing short of brilliant, he's a true force to be reckoned with. He's had many, many releases over the years on some of the world's best labels including Don't, Earwiggle, Perc Trax and his own Emetic imprint. This isn't the 1st time he's appeared on RIOT Radio Records either. A well as appearing on the Sampler LP, he'd previously been recruited by us for remix duties on our 3rd release by Ingen which was nothing short of spectacular.

There's two original tracks on this 12', one remix by Codex Empire and two remixes by Somatic Responses. The full digital release also features an additional 'Full On Rave Assault' remix by Somatic Responses which plays at a blistering pace.

You better watch out when there's a Hare about ............................... RUN.

'He Bleeds Stories EP' is the first vinyl release on VRAAA Records, a techno label with the aim of queering-up the genre. Both original tracks contains elements from Projekt Gestalten's past original productions clashing with new sounds and being incorporated into a whole new context; like pieces of different stories scattered throughout the music and reconfigured into a brand new tale. Each track was remixed by projects with contrasting gender identities: the heavyweight techno duo I/Y, representing the masculine side and the fabulous German selector Anja Zaube, giving a feminine perspective.

This is the 14th release on RIOT Radio Records, an independent techno label based in Scotland.

The brothers John and Paul Healy have been collectively known as Somatic Responses for over 20 years and they’ve absolutely no plans to stop. These native residents of a small industrial mining community snuggly located in the southwest region of Wales are an industrial electronic duo that truly encapsulate hard-edged, apocalyptic and mind altering techno to its mechanical core.

This double vinyl LP has eight original tracks that will severely pound your senses with its full on sonic ‘Assault.’ A true journey from start to finish, the music will take you far from this world into time and space itself and leave you wandering some combat strewn war zone on another plain of astral existence.

The full digital release also features two additional original tracks and two remixes by Tomohiko Sagae, all of which add to the complex textures of the story this release weaves.

Not too speed and not too hard and very mental and thin, precise swing. A superb release from the Erredeka Sound System !

There's A Certain Quality To The Music Dubiosity And Pjotr G Put Out. Their Palette Is Wide And Open And Incorporates Acidic Basslines, Orchestrated Pads And Emotive Melodies. The 'trailer Park Prophet Ep' Is A Worthy Addition To Their Ever Growing Discography. This 4-track Vinyl Release Combines Different Sides Of The Dutch Duo Whilst Maintaining A Certain Degree Of Dancefloor Quality.

“The Grind” by El Agua Es Profunda is a beautiful, ever evolving track. Building from a basic rhythm, layering and layering into an anthemic state. Fans of John Hopkins, Kaito, The Field, Gui Boratto will find a familiar vibe in The Grind, but this vivid and cinematic ten and a half minute production triggers memories of epic moments in any dancer.

The B-side holds a remix by Copenhagen‟s Kasper Marott. Highly regarded for his releases on Modeselektor 's Seilscheibenpfeiler, Courtesy's Kulør, and most recently his own Axces imprint. Marott has taken The Grind on a more intense trip, enhancing the percussive elements for the floor.

Behind the artist name El Agua Es Profunda we find the Danish music producer Jacob Funch. He has previously released four digital EPs as well as the abum “Circumnavigating Lueena“ through his own Gold Records. The productions vary in genre from melodic soundscapes and synth-pop to dance music. Besides his solo work he is a frequently used producer for several other artists on the global leftfield indie scene.

Inner Space PT1 is the debut release of Kerrie’s ‘Dark Machine Funk’ imprint, with PT2 forthcoming late Summer 2021.

Deeper Audio Cuts is back from its 20+ years hiatus!

Scott Featherstone (Triform / Glorious Springtime / Beyond A Void) had been sitting on a treasure of unearthed gems from his early days of production. After supplying us with a massive deadstock of his early releases, DAC001, DAC002 and VOID1 he stored for more than 20 years in a closet, Scott then dug into his DATS and sent us a pendrive stuffed with almost forgotten tracks from those same years.

At that point we thought that kickstarting Deeper Audio Cuts again together with Scott was the next step into the right direction.
With the first release after the hiatus, we reissue one of Scott's most sought after records, 'Lemmon Grass - Itchy EP', co-produced with his then production partner Ben.

We've compiled this special limited edition of 500 copies that includes 2 coloured vinyl: a green lime 12' and a dark green 10', with the originals + previously unreleased versions and tracks.

Mysterious white label surfaces from OG AG with raw, reduced, deep and banging cuts contained within.

Ōgon Batto is an exercise in patience; indeed, a model of restraint in these trying times. Although a fixture of the Belgian underground for over a decade (as part of the Hare Akedod label and band, the latter with DSR Lines’ David Edren), Bent Von Bent has released just two albums thus far. A scroll through ‘Browse’ reveals a series of miniature compositions — bite-size psychedelic treats, a sequence of imaginary hyperlinks and clickbait for Generation Instant Gratification, reminiscent of the early work of Battiato, Francois De Roubaix, and Igor Wakhévitch.

Limited edition of 300 copies. Includes an insert, download code and a UE sticker.

Next up on MOM is another exploration of the link between art and music. This time it is dance performance. The musical artist is Okkre (Uge Pañeda) producer of the Spanish duo LCC, who have released two albums on the celebrated Austrian imprint, Editions Mego. Okkre is a composer of soundtracks, DJ and she is currently immersed in researching her "landscapes series" project, connecting countries and cultures that are seemingly unconnected to each other through field recordings... MOM 012 is the soundtrack to a very special performance named ÉPICA. Directed by Barcelona based choreographer Aimar Pérez Galí, it was premiered at Sonar 2017. EPICA brings clubbing culture inside the theatre, to deliver a highly energetic performance, joining bodies, sound and voices of historic and political dissidence. It is about communication between bodies (without language) and the liberty of being on the dancefloor. Freedom of movement, expression and happiness through music! Okkre has provided a startling soundtrack. This soundtrack complements the performance of the dancers beautifully but also deserves to be listened on its own. It is both powerful and dramatic, fitting the title. The music of the soundtrack has been adapted for its imminent release on vinyl. The piece begins with the rhythmic movement of beats, which provides a structured backdrop. They are complemented by a swirling bassline. Overlayed percussion of differing styles comes in and out. Harsh almost metallic synths enter after a few minutes, which also have the sensation of breathing. Later on, powerful synths battle sturdy cymbal assisted percussion. In the latter stages, everything gets even more intense techno feel and the A Side ends with dense dark synths. The music is alive! While the other side gently mixes a melodic bassline that moves like the wind with intertwined chorus and voices, which appeal to the spirit of the artistic work, evoking space for feeling and touching. At the same time, insistent beats offer a club feeling. Scary yet empowering strings create a hypnotic atmosphere alongside falling keys and vocal impressions. The final few minutes provides a strong climax to the record. This features hammering beats, a circling bass and powerful keys. A mighty performance! ÉPICA is indeed epic.

Although Rico Puestel has been producing since 2005, he still seems to be something of an insider tip. Since 'Caravel' though, his August release on Cocoon Recordings, things have taken a dramatic turn with Puestel currently enjoying 'man of the moment' status, especially when it comes to progressive techno and peak time action on the dance floor."973 picks up exactly where 'Caravel' left off, kicking powerfully with irresistable, effect-loaded breaks that really twist your melon. This one really works you over but there's also feeling and a touch of elegance, in fact we can't remember hearing anything like this since Len Faki's Dustin Zahn Remix! '973 proves that 'Caravel' was no flash in the pan, just one tantalising glimpse into the musical world of Rico Puestel and that's not the end of it..."272 is a little more stripped down and chilled to start with, but soon opens up into the same crazy atmosphere as '973. This is dominated by an up-and-running arpeggio synth, which combines with the now familiar effects-break motif to create an incredible hypnotic effect. A little less brutal than '973 but drenched in more reverb, '272 is something like 'kicking Deep Techno' with a nod to the Tech House corner in the style of Mark Broom or Joris Voorn. Mr. Puestel serves up two choice cuts here and there's no question that 973272 will be with us for a while. Buckle up, hold tight and off we go!

*PRESSED IN DETROIT - OFFICIAL* Metroplex makes another classic available again... Off-kilter, electrifying, Very Funky production works this time, by the magician that Anthony Shakir is. We're huge fans here!

What is a shlundee is probably the first thing you’ll ask yourself when you hear this.
In short, it’s a mixture of every music genre that you could imagine, brought to you by Indy Erens. The one-man project Shlundee finds the balance between house, hip-hop & electro. "Himawari" explains that Asia always had a big influence on Shlundee, it's a classic samurai anime. Influenced by club music and the Baltimore / Jersey culture, Shlundee made this EP during lockdown. He had this idea of making something really vibey and different than what people usually expect of him. 'Wait, What?' perfectly represents how Shlundee can expand his boundaries and trying out other stuff. Shlundee is massively influenced by Anz, Lefto, Young Marco, Park Hye Jin, Jamz Supernova & Acemo...

Milanese imprint Ansia returns with a new V/A of warped, unconventional techno. Following his critically acclaimed debut LP 'Perdu', label-head Piezo continues to carve out his club-ready and explorative sonic niche, this time calling on a team of kindred left-field sound manipulators to get the job done. Manchester's BFFT (Whities, Gobstopper, Cong Burn) leads the charge with a dexterous cut that marries mind-bending sound design with club-ready functionality. Next up is Timedance-affiliate Metrist, who is as playful as ever on 'LB Steaua': a deceptively simple 4/4 beat peppered with distorted glitches and psychedelic details reminiscent of Perlon's more left field releases. Moving to the B-side, Piezo delivers his trademark brand of ruffneck techno - buzzing with off-grid tribal drums, cartoon synths and nonsense vocal samples. To close, Mexican leading-light Siete Catorce ratchets up the tempo for a singular track in a world entirely of its own: rude, fast, no-frills, sitting somewhere between digital cumbia and hardcore tekno. Unsurprisingly this one ended up in Batu's relentlessly forward thinking BBC Essential Mix.

Ellen Allien, Anthony Linell and Tensal remix tracks from Amotik's Vistar LP on his self-titled imprint.

After moving to Berlin in 2014, Amotik has been steadily building a base in the city that significantly inspired him. Having developed a unique style of atmospheric techno with a relentless raw undertone, his consistency as both a DJ and producer has seen him perform at some of the most exciting clubs and festivals around the globe. Amotik delivered his first full-length double vinyl LP on his Amotik label earlier in 2019 which will be accompanied by a debut live tour to end the year. The album features 10 tracks with elements of ambient, broken beats, textured soundscapes but has its foundations firmly rooted in techno and invites remixes from heavyweights Ellen Alien, Anthony Linell and Tensal.

Presiding over Stockholm's Northern Electronics label with Varg, Anthony Linell aka Adbullah Rashim dispenses a deep, hypnotic approach which can be heard on releases on Northern Electronics, Semantica Records and Abdulla Rashim Records. Anthony's remix of "Chautis" deploys his meditative production style to great effect through shimmering low end, glistening synths and alleviating elements.

Spanish producer Tensal who has over fifty releases on labels such as Polegroup, Modularz, Mord, Falling Ethics, Arcing Seas, Kynant, Float, Ownlife, Soma, Attic, Propaganda and his own Tensal Records imprint, gears his remix of "Paintis" towards a modern, raw sounding number through crunchy oscillations, thudding kick drums and obscure yet brain-tickling atmospheres.

Berlin's Ellen Allien has been at the forefront of the techno scene for many years adopting a style that sees her blend and weave between mesmerising Berlin techno, acid, freak jack slammers and classics which can be heard on her BPitch Control imprint, as well as her remix of "Tetalis" which adopts sharp rhythms, entrancing leads, dramatic yet euphoric leads filled with nostalgia to round off this remix package with majestic style.

Desroi cuts his unrivaled skill to combine power and pace into four new tracks again. "Vermillion Border" draws from a dazed palette of concise and forceful sounds and thus raises the bar on his lasting run of EPs.

Tightly oscillating and resoundingly austere, the EP has its moments of stormy brutality that punctuates the mesmeric synth cycles to inspiriting elation. "Bright Blood" and "Gauze Covers Flaw" appear tethered at the base by cavernous low end and heady drum machine programming which drives the work.

Closing track "Empty Eye" might present Desroi's most funky work to date, rounding the EP off with a single warping synth motif shifting through sonic spheres.

Perlon präsentiert das langerwartete neue Album der japanischen Techno-Legende Fumiya Tanaka. Der Mann führte die Genres Minimal, Detroit und Berlin in die japanische Techno-Szene ein, betrieb mit Torema und Sundance zwei äusserst erfolgreiche Kult-Labels, und legte zusammen mit Jeff Mills, Derrick May und Dave Clarke auf. Sein letztes Album "Unknown 3" erschien 2008 auf Sundance.

Limited pressing of 200 copies..

In life everything is cyclic. It’s said, the wave is the most essential form of creation existing in nature. People, moments, come and go…it’s the law of life. But, in reality, the cycles of our life are all linked together, while one is closing another is opening. 012 (twelve) is a new cycle, a new space dedicated to sounds and art.

Slow Life Program is a space traveler involved in the creation of techno, ambient and accessible electronica.

Creating his own tunes, SLP combines deep technical nuances, acid sounds,dub-fluids and broken grooves, adds some deep surrounding elements and mixes them with the natural sounds recorded by him. As a result, he draws universal figures lying somewhere between dub,techno, acid, house, ambient and glitch electronics.

The cirle is now complete. Well.. maybe because Never Say The Last One. Troniq left the Prague city life and now he's exploring ambient journeys under his real name Martin Kuška while for the dance stuff he reserved the new Goobye Mirage nick.

Two melancholic tracks were left behind unreleased and here they come as a first release on COLUMBO RECORDS. Polished and glamorised for the hazy dance floors, boosted by stunning remixes of Etbonz and Imre Kiss.

DIGITAL BONUS: Two more mixes from Imre Kiss!

Extrawelt are Arne Schaffhausen and Wayan Raabe. Both have been around for about 40 years, and making music together for half that time. They enjoy normal things and are ashamed of their carbon footprints due to the large number of flights they take to bring them to their gigs. Unknown, is the tenth studio album from the producer team, and the fourth under the name Extrawelt. Its largely devoted to another side of their creations.

Something's different. Well, Extrawelt releases always have been somehow different yet, despite becoming instantly absorbed into the familiar Extrawelt atmosphere when listening, I can't help but notice again: something's very different. Feet are bouncing, mind is traveling and my fingers speed across the keyboard like they're on fire. I'm trying to imagine what it would be like to listen to Unknown with closed eyes in the midst of a throbbing concert instead of through laptop speakers.
Listening to Extrawelt on crappy speakers is anyway never a good idea, as it really deserves the backing of the loudest and best possible sound system.

With this, I leave the audio confines of my low-fi laptop world and get in the car. Cranking up the stereo, I cruise around aimlessly — lost in appreciation of the music from within the bubble of my metal highway-pod on wheels. I've got the urge to speed up — which is surprising considering I'm a usually a very sensible driver. The bass and the beats blow up in my face. Something uncluttered. Something broken. Something grimy. Something sideways. Something undeniably Extrawelt, yet inherently different to what we've come to expect from the Hamburg pair. I don't plan on getting all emotional, but something about this twelve track journey fits together so superbly it's hard not to be overcome with at least a few shivers up the spine. With profound bass lines and cutting drums, I keep coming back to these sounds. Again and again these sounds. On one hand you feel that you know them, on the other hand you don't know them at all. Is that a synthesiser or a voice Is it rotating or just linear reinvented Whatever the answer, my mind goes astray. Whether this is exotic or native doesn't matter: all I know is that it's great. Meanwhile I've reached track seven and now I realise what's been different all along — it isn't techno! Somehow, they've accomplished staying true to themselves despite deploying not even one four-to-the floor-bass drum. Admittedly, you can find a couple of similar tracks on a few of their previous releases, but here you've got a whole album fullof it. I gotta listen to track seven again. As a music writer I'm asking myself: what genre of music is this actually Neo-Electro Alternative Electronica Emo-EDM Ah, whatever — these guys don't like to be put into boxes anyway. It's simply Extrawelt.

As I talk to Arne and Wayan later on, I discover that the tracks on Unknown began simmering more than ten years ago without any goal or idea regarding if they'd end up releasing them. Come 2018 though, the time felt right to dedicate an entire album to this side of their musical spectrum. This also explains how Unknownappeared so quickly after their most recent LP 'Fear Of An Extra Planet'. As the guys mention 'We just felt these tracks a lot when we made them, and never cared really if anyone would be interested in it'.

We're definitely interested!

Yours sincerely,
Cocoon

Since nearly a decade now, Italian born artist Antonio Marini is going through a sonic adventure known as Healing Force Project. Discreetly building up his musical blueprint, he slowly reached a cult status
as a visionary who is blending electronic music with free-jazz in an atypical, anarchic, spontaneous and original way. On „Sideral Escape“ the artist shows himself in his different facets ranging from ambient to jazz to techno.

Highly Recommended!
Airual is the new record label by Mario Lauriano a passionate Italian expat living in Berlin for almost a decade. Deeply influenced by the House music played in the clubs of Neaples in the late 90s, he has
always loved vinyl and intimately pursued an extensive knowledge of analogue and digital hardware.

“Dubra Tape” and “Philatrop Philosp” are two hefty gems of devotion to the true dub Techno sound of the German capital, enriched by a contemporary taste for Elektron’s spectral qualities. Nobody better
than Dj Pete a.k.a . Substance could rework “Dubra Tape” with his majestic sub basses and equisite sprinkled chords. Finally, The Analogue Cops transform “Philantrop Philosop” into an Infinitesque
quick paced tribute to the Motor City pioneers of electronic dance music.
