LIMITED REPRESS, GREEN TRANSPARANT VINYL.

Part four in Alden Tyrell's latest project: ''Vorm Variaties'', a 5 release series consisting of tracks recorded in the last 2 years. The ''Vorm Variaties'' tracks were a ''Style Excercise'' for Tyrell, flexing his producermuscle while health issues forced him to stop touring. Initially he had no intention to release these tracks but we consider them to good not to put out, infact we were almost forced to start these series because of them! All tracks selected are variations on classic techno forms, using classic style ingredients and the 909. All 5 ''Variaties'' are different in style, yet all homogenous, all with Alden Tyrell's sound signature... on point production skills and stripped down arrangements.

DJ Bone, Terrence Parker, and Scan 7 remix Disruptive Pattern Material on the ‘Necessary EP’, landing this May on Rekids.

Making his debut release on one of electronic music’s most vital labels, Michigan’s Disruptive Pattern Material emerges with ‘Necessary’, a Detroit indebted jam backed with remixes from some of the Motor City’s most influential names.

Leading the A-side, the original mix of ‘Necessary’ loops a vocal chop at its core, weaving airy synths and bubbling, dubbed-out bass effortlessly throughout the track. DJ Bone’s remix sees the Subject Detroit and Encounter boss draw hidden textures from the original, adding fresh synth works atop the pitched-up vocals for a distinctly Detroit jam.

On the flip, Intangible Records & Soundworks’ Terrence Parker introduces skipping drums under a hands-in-air piano loop, effortlessly flipping the track into a bonafide party starter. Taking the B2 spot,UR affiliates Scan 7 blend rave stabs, 909 kicks, and rubbery bass for a remix of digital-only bonus track Freedom.

Two artists who have carved out their own niche in todays techno universe join forces for their first collaborative full length. Ten tracks across two vinyls demonstrate the unique synergy between these two friends. In their collaboration they each focus on their own expertise, combining best of both worlds. Amandra on drums and Mattheis on synths - creating overlapping, constantly shifting patterns, like an endlessly captivating moire effect as result. Artwork print by Ruben Uvez. Pressed on 180g turquoise coloured vinyl, including downloadcode.

A balancing act between diverse genres, bound together by a distinctive, emotive and rough edged sound. That is what Danny Jeroense a.k.a. CANVAX creates in his small homestudio in Deventer (NL). The Koortsdroom EP is exactly that. You probably know what it's like. Waking up in the middle of the night screaming, with your heart beating in your throat. But are you really awake... or stuck in limbo. You just can't tell.

DJ Nobu is back with the next installment of his Extra Tools series on Bitta. In Nobu's own words: "In the time when I have much less opportunities to play dance tracks as a DJ, I imagined the dance floor of the post-pandemic future, which I know will be filled with positive vibes. This 4-track EP consists of variety of tracks that can be played in different phases of a DJ set. I chose to make straightforward dance floor oriented tracks, because I wanted to encourage listeners and DJs not to forget about the fun we have on the dance floor. I wanted to convey my hope to those who are not yet able to restart the parties." Opening track 'Entering' is a trippy psychedelic track for those deep outdoor hours when the snares echo throughout the mountains, 'Resemblance' is an acid tinged breakbeat that resonates with industrial and electro style. On the flip 'Desire' is a hypnotic peak-time techno track that will function well in any environment, and 'Fade' is an atmospheric and pleasant morning breakbeat tune. The striking artwork for the cover is contributed by Nobu's close associate Tomoo Gokita.

Atmospheric dub-influenced techno from Japan is on the menu tonight. Altone signature sound of minimalistic & hypnotic soundscapes is ever-so present - and despite repetitive mechanical elements, it still feels warm and organic. The four track EP begins with 'Silent Vibration'; a steadfast and unhindered sub harmonies. Its a meditative journey into a rough glacial terrain. 'Drifting Sand' starts off enigmatic & intriguing - with slow chord development and gradual introduction of harmonious pads. The flipside begins with 'Astral'; a dub techno groove-fest with shimmering chords and hazy soundscapes. The final track 'Uninhabited' is a mind-altering voyage into the unknown. Overall this is a must-have for any fans of Basic Channel - or our own previous releases. A dub techno delight.
ae Recordings LTD is an offshot from its legendary Thule Records motherhub The offshot will ensure quality techno for the mind and soul from Thule members and friends - wherever they might be.

It has been too long since the last Hollen release! Now he is coming up with a great 4 track ep with flying melodies, funky grooves and a big soulful touch (Monika Kruse)

A rare treat for Drumcode faithful: A-Sides Vol.10 is set to drop in December, the second edition of the beloved series to come in 2020.

Fuelled by the extra time and space to be creative during lockdown, Drumcode’s collective of artists have stepped up. Across 17 contributions, the producers have gone deeper into their sonic repertoire, crafting powerful, yet reflective works that capture the range of the label’s sound.

Jay Lumen leads the way with a rousing riff-driven weapon, ‘Galactic Rainbow’, while Ramon Tapia brings us the muscular gem ‘Drum Control’, mixing up ruffneck techno with a barrage of synapse-tickling synths in the second half. Both rousing highlights of the compilation.

Victor Ruiz, Drumcode’s most prolific contributor in 2020, dishes up ‘Love Story’, led by a huge vocal lead. Zimmz also returns with ‘Tension’, which deftly combines deep squelchy grooves with a silky synth interlude. Thomas Hoffknecht follows up his debut on Vol.9 with ‘Escape’, keeping listeners on their toes with dynamic, choppy shifts throughout. Veerus joins with another stirring addition ‘I Know’, reinforcing why Beyer rates him so highly.

Elsewhere a string of debutants feature: buzzy newcomer Lilly Palmer gives us ‘Amnesie’, a brilliantly pummelling and eerie cut; Alex Lentini & Stomp Boxx serve up ‘Expanders’ mixing up drone effects, trippy vocals and an unsettling melody line; and Patrik Berg’s ‘Activated’ is full-bodied techno that drops down into funky rhythms.

Long-time DC family member Bart Skils brings his A-game with the thrilling no-nonsense ‘Solid State’ that hits like a steam train. Likewise, Alan Fitzpatrick who brings a momentous slab of techno energy with ‘Rochus’, while Thomas Schumacher, now feeling like a regular on the imprint, crafts another dark techno opus, this time in collaboration with CAITLIN.

There’s even a special appearance by the chief Adam Beyer, who makes a welcome return with the progressive-tinged ‘Changes’, driven by organic tones and spacey atmospherics. The track stands as his first original contribution to A-Sides since 2017.

Anfisa Letyago hits the ground running with the ambient-infused, chest beating rhythm - 'Nisida'. Shackling percussion communicates fluently with rattling hi-hat patterns to create decadent layers of techno elegance. A carefully modulated synthesiser melody appears to chase the drum sequence throughout the arrangement's main body, circling gleefully around the stereo field like a shamanic ritual. Anfisa's own ethereal vocal shots glide through the mix to establish key moments of anticipation.

'Insidia' sensually evolves into a dazzling menagerie of rising pads and fizzing synth-lines. A rounded four-to-the-floor kick drum drives the track with subtle yet consistent affirmation, the minimalistic approach to the groove's main elements only serves to bolster the arrangement as one can truly appreciate every layer. Anfisa boldly follows with 'Not There', a significantly gritty low-end carries a glimmering arpeggiator ensemble through the entirety of the EP's closing moments. The undeniable glow of the composition's melodic elements pairs perfectly with the staggering undertow of kicks and low-slung toms.

Anfisa comes armed and ready for the return of the dance, and after successful releases on Hotflush and Rekids, she has a lot of exciting new releases to deliver this year.

First part of the Drexciya re-issue series - well recommended!! Killer comp of the finest Detroit based electronics from the heads at Clone.. hat's off to them! TIP!

Drexciya might need an introduction for some, for others it is the most influential techno/electro project ever. Part of the heritage of Detroit's Underground Resistance, Drexciya explored techno music like no-one else before.
Raw and uncompromising music that reflects the harsh environment of the city where Drexciya was conceived. The aesthetics and the mythical approach combined with the unique music made this one of the biggest cult projects in techno music. Drexciya arguably stands for the darker side of techno and electro, music not only made for the club scene, but a further development of the music as an expression and extension of the mind. 20 years after the release of ''Deep Sea Dweller'' (their first release), and 10 years after ''Grava 4'' (their last), here's ''Journey Of The Deep Sea Dweller''. This series is an almost complete collection of their early works, and is remastered from the original master tapes. Since the original releases have such a strong character, appeal and stand on their own, this re-issue can never re-create the magic of those originals. So instead the catalogue is stirred up, taking the tracks out of their original context, giving the 'in the know' listener a fresh experience and the new listener a document that is the best possible introduction to the aquatic world of Drexciya.

Harvey McKay has been making waves in the techno world with releases on Drumcode, Cocoon, 8 Sided Dice, Soma and more. His most recent release for Drumcode is still sitting at number one whilst I write this and has been there for weeks! He has gained support across the globe as one of the hottest techno producers around which has seen him get lots of support from Adam Beyer on all of the most recent Drumcode Radio Live podcasts. As a DJ, Harvey has played some of the biggest clubs around the world and has an exceptional skill to read the crowd.

Harvey McKay has started his next single with his ethereal track 'Slip'. The ghostly pads that float over the top of a crisp, chuggy kick drum combine two different qualities before welcoming the percussive synth blips into the mix. The second track 'Silk Road' uses a killer vocal hook and heavy-duty synth stabs to full effect, conjuring up more of Harvey's unique style.

Objekt returns with Cocoon Crush, his first LP since 2014's Flatland. Over the past four years he has continued to challenge conventions with his club output, while maintaining his reputation as a DJ who deploys impeccable technical finesse in crafting elaborate narratives from a diverse and challenging palette of electronic music.

"Written between 2014 and 2018 in Berlin and on the road, Cocoon Crush once again sees the producer jettisoning the functional requirements of the dancefloor. Marking a further evolution from the youthful exuberance of Flatland, Cocoon Crush explores a more introspective side, with themes of human interaction resonating throughout the record as it ruminates on a spectrum of complex moods rooted in 4 years of sometimes turbulent personal experience.

Cocoon Crush represents an aesthetic departure from Flatland's largely synthetic tonality, drawing from organic source material and natural textures to illustrate perplexing and unfamiliar sceneries in photorealistic detail. In Cocoon Crush, Objekt diverges further still from his musical influences to craft the purest manifestation of his own musical personality to date: an intriguing and enigmatic album whose reference points are hard to pin down, in which ghostly synth passages weave through mind-bending, weighty drums, and ASMR-triggering foley collages scrape and sparkle.

Through meticulous sculpting, Objekt traces a rich and impressionistic journey through claustrophobia, hope, guilt, anxiety and joy, nested in layers of sonic detail which reward with every listen."

Moral Standards is a sub-division of Falling Ethics Records.

French Touch Electro Techno. Represses of 2 tunes from Ellypsis 01, and Ping Pong an unrealesed track.

German Mark Jackus and Marcus Sur collaborated on this beautiful piece of music with singer/songwriter Golden Parazyth.
Noir Music is delighted to have signed the incredible 'In The Night' song which sits somewhere in between electronica and deephouse. This one works both as a club track and a treat for the ears when you just want some quality music in your life.
Timo Maas and Ed Ed deliver the more clubby vocal versions of the track and Tiger Stripes makes it a club-dub effort. All 3 remixes are a bit more edgy and functional for club plays.
Hit play and get sucked into the sweet melancholy of this track.

Bearing the torch of a new generation West Coast artists, The Hague based Pasiphae comes through with a haunting four-tracker on Pinkman. Weaving the accents of horror with the ambience of hope, 'Possessed Realms' offers a trip through desolate terrains of restless minds. The haven of the night congregates the wrecked ones and hope tainted with misery turns the grimness into light. The idea of finding comfort and rejuvenation in the dark is liberated, opening broad horizons for creation. While our future might be uncertain, the present is ripe for Pasiphae.

Pomassl's Seismik Krew gathers and expands more than 3 decades sonic search and processing. This double album follows the rhythmical side of Pomassl's work, inhering elements of the Skeleton series (est. 1996), heavy syncopated leftfiled, and always psychoactive chains of industrial techno. Consistanty keeping the world of sound brim filled in a masterly manner the narration consists of solo tracks, remixes and collaborations with the late Randy Barracuda, as well as DJ Sotofett and Alessandro Cortini.

Mutual fans Sherard Ingram and Mariska Neerman join forces to present four essential tracks spanning the breadth of contemporary electro on this second release from Bleep43 Recordings. The first side sees Ingram exploring the edges of his famously unique blend of intricate yet relentless electronics, simultaneously touching on Autechre's metallic abstractions while sounding the depths of bubbling oceanic vents. Mariska answers with two tracks of melancholy machine music that embody her talent for melody and arrangement and promise to make their presence felt on dancefloors across the spectrum.

Tevatron is back on its Metrohm label with its "My Origins" concept. Inspired by the fathers of Techno he synthesizes his influences and his project is quickly acclaimed by one of the masters of the genre like Derrick May in others. "My Origins Part2" is an invitation to discover the roots of Techno, with this new version, Tevatron returns to the sources by offering us two beautiful timeless tracks powered by bass lines based on arpeggio, powerful beats with a groove supported, striking agreements with a backbone very representative of the Techno of the mid-90s. Laurent Garnier considers this EP as a new classic of its kind.

The two B-side cuts are straighter dancefloor fare. The first, 'Watching Over Us', is a thick and heavy, hypnotising 4x4 track, 'The Heretic' more dynamic and unpredictable.
