Techno Vinyl New Releases - News

Born in Brighton, bred in London and now moving between Berlin and Ibiza, BEC has an omnivorous approach to electronic music that shows up in her productions; Techno with a twist. Her seventh outing on home label Second State continues in this vein as she balances hypnotic, driving elements with atypical flourishes.
“Lost In Change”, which gives the EP its name, layers a pounding kick with a bloodless, repeated vocal before a juddering synth launches the track into another gear. “Flux” pairs a springy bass line with siren FX to pleasantly weird effect, followed by the more intense “State Of Flow”, a euphoric collision of ravey synths and gurgling acid lines. “Holocene”, meanwhile, hinges on an impatient groove textured with whipping 808s. It conjures the delicious abandon of parking your worries at the door as you give in to the primal pleasures of the dance floor.
BEC has been an international touring DJ for the past five years, playing everywhere from Berlin’s Watergate to Australia’s Rainbow Serpent Festival and from London’s Egg to Nevada’s Burning Man Festival. Lost In Change is sure to advance the ascent of one of Techno’s most promising young stars.

Percebes starts 2021 by releasing the label honcho’s brand new “Gestures Of Release” LP: a highly personalised universe that manages to display diversity whilst retaining a unique sense of coherence. An offering of tracks that reflect the producer’s unique take on languages he knows well: deep, crunchy disco house (“Miles Away”), dreamy downtempo (“Suave”) and mellow freestyle funk (“Membrana”). Of course there are also plenty of irresistible bumping dance floor moments of classic inspiration (“Gestures Of Release”, “Clone Forge” and the bass heavy “Time Apart”).

Guests include funk band Thunder & Co, legendary junglist producer AL:X, fellow Percebes founder Hélder Russo and Chicago new school gold medalist Andrew “Change Request” Emil. The quality in production, mixing and mastering is second to none. It’s an LP that plays and sounds as close to a maxi single as physically possible! Perfectly crafted tracks that a DJ can use on both dance floors and cooler settings alike, but also, an album that any music lover can enjoy on a proper turntable. Quoting Vito Corleone, it’s “an offer you can’t refuse”.

The vinyl comes with bonus music in its digital counterpart (includes full length album with four extra tracks as a free download with purchase). Overall, great bang-for-the-buck pack full of future classics, as usual with Percebes so far. “Gestures Of Release” will be out in April 2021.

Moddullar are the protagonists of the tenth release of their own label "INNSIGNN". They decided to release INNSIGNN's first 12", an EP with 4 tracks, including a Remix by Lewis Fautzi, one of the artists they most admire and that was always a reference to them.

It made sense to make him a part of this special release.

The EP will be available for sale on 12" vinyl and digitally.

‘A ceremony that invokes ancient spirits like the Dom & Roland productions, the early raw sound of RZA and the bleakness of the Birmingham techno scene in the 90's.

A cinematic trip of film noir aesthetics mixed with an eastern european sci fi sensibility.

Touch Of Evil meets Zulawski's On The Silver Globe.

Pessimist runs the voodoo down for the first time on Berceuse heroique and we are proud to release some of his most honest work.’

RDNK hat weder Nationalität oder Rasse, es ist noch nicht mal ein Mensch, weil es noch keinen Körper hat. RDNK ist eine astrale Kraft aus dem Weltraum. Auf seinem Weg zur Erde erzeugte RDNK Musik, um mit den Menschen in einer universellen Sprache zu kommunizieren. Um sie für die Menschen greifbar zu machen, nahm RDNK die passendsten Teile ihrer bisherigen Musik und fügte sie in einen neuen Sound ein. Das Ergebnis kann als Future Techno bezeichnet werden.

TRW “33”

Tommie Robin Wiese (1988 – 2020) was a composer and a producer from Rotterdam, Netherlands. He was a great guy, a nice man, a perfect friend.

From an early age, Tommie was engaged with spirituality, art and music. Throughout his life, he sought to deepen his knowledge and awareness. His music is a manifestation of his daily research of the musical, spiritual and human plane.

He was able to find beauty and meaning in any kind of music genre. Collaborating with different people on different projects, he touched upon various styles and genres such as rock/pop – playing a bass guitar in a rock band – as well as he was an avid listener of hip hop, house, techno, experimental electronic and ambient music.

In his own music, he found it difficult to choose one style to express himself through. Constantly thirsty for more and in search of perfection, he was looking for a way to consolidate his knowledge of life, music and spirituality into his music pieces.

Tommie had a passion for modular synthesizers which he loved to collect and experiment with and was continuously busy studying a topic or improving his skills on new instruments and gear. He’d be creating music all night till early morning which didn’t always make it easy for him to finish a track to his own satisfaction.
However, with his most recent productions, he started to get more in touch with himself and with what he wanted to express. He found that the depth and healing properties of music, especially hypnotic electronic music, deeply resonated with his soul.

As a person, Tommie was an excellent listener and could discuss any topic you could think of with an open mind, an ability that reflected on his approach to music too. One of his biggest artistic inspirations was the visual artist Alex Grey. What Grey did with painting, Tommie was trying to do in his life and music, showing us there is more than one layer in everything.

Sadly, Tommie left us very early and very unexpectedly in March 2020…

Thanks to his family and close friends, Mai Lei Bel is able to deliver Tommie’s posthumous EP titled “33” releasing under the moniker TRW (Tommie Robin Wiese).
A six tracks collection of melancholic IDM & electronica in combination with atmospheric techno & experimental.

Carceres Records, an emerging label in the French techno music scene since 2017, has finally decided to release its first vinyl. The two co-founders, Brulee and Deevai have invited Hephaistos and Sluhg for this release.Four video clips produced by Vladimir DMDJ will be part of this new project. The visuals will immerse us into the intimacy of the individual's relationship with himself, admiring his relationship with his body or perhaps testifying to his encounter with the other.

Collecting orders for repress

Techno is getting harder again and Maximum Minimum 061 ups the game with 2 killer trax from Christ On A Bike (D.A.V.E.The Drummer and Tiago Santos), a track from label boss Chris Liberator with Geezer, The Dice and Mickey Rat, and a track from French duo Alienduch & Gelstat - all giant dancefloor tracks that will fit both Acid Techno and Techno sets.

“In a recent interview David Toop described the studio to be “a concept of the mind, a place where you can create other worlds”. The very same perceptual methodology appears be at the heart of the studio processes of Deep Nalström whose latest EP offers a sonic cornucopia overflowing with food for the mind perfect for the journey into outer space via your own inner space.

Opener ‘Low Gravity Ride’ sets you away atop a propulsive fizz of acid bubbles, lustrous synth wash and a lithe percussive groove. Listeners are pleasantly bumped at the mid-point by ‘Astral Variations’- a mid-tempo vacuum jacker reinforced with a fractalised p-funk bassline. A personal highlight is ‘Rainbow Gardens’ - akin to sitting in the exotic grounds of an alien temple in the midst of an afro-cosmic drum circle whilst being laced with extravagant strokes of emotive synth cream.

The tempo increases towards the end of the EP, a rush to oblivion that ends with ‘Underworld Jaunt’ – glorious arcs of arpeggio riding freely above a determined techno canter that gradually peels away as you reach your mind’s eye.

In turbulent times, it’s comforting to commune with the esoteric fantasies of Deep Nalström; richly detailed and beautifully described sonic renderings of a world conceived in his mind and reimagined in yours.”

The always-innovative John Beltran surprises us with his first release on a Romanian label. The circularity of Energy Circle, the beauty of The Cycles EP, sets a typically Beltran soundscape, a melodic mood for this three-pieced beauty. The Sun Also Rises on the flip side, making it the rather bright beast of the release, while the marching B2 – Going Uphill Fast (hope on the horizon) — is a granular techno classic, closing Eufonic Records' first release on a very Detroit note.

Pangaea returns to his Hessle Audio label for the first time since his debut LP 'In Drum Play', with two club tracks exploring different textures and designed for impact.

Wretched Cuts is the new solo EP by gender-nonconforming techno artist, Projekt Gestalten. The release comes via the New York’s Mild Fantasy imprint run by DJ Elle Dee and features three original themes focusing on introspective techno plus a remix by veteran, The Lady Machine.

The project reflects an array of themes using as the starting point the story of Estamira and the Brazilian documentary of the same name, telling her life story. Estamira was an incredibly enlightened older woman who scattered one of the largest landfills of Rio de Janeiro for food. Not because she had to, but because she loved that place as she loved “her own children” and enjoyed making a living out of other people’s disposable goods. Simultaneously, while dealing with schizophrenia and abuse, she believed she was a superior spiritual being whose magical powers could control time, space, and other elements of nature.

The tracks are inspired by some of her most memorable quotes and moments that made an impact on Projekt Gestalten. “Wise People In Reverse” goes into a darker approach and samples Estamira’s voice talking in a mysterious unknown language with an unrevealed force, using only a broken piece of a telephone that she had just found it in the trash. “Morte Macaca” takes a rhythmic approach towards dub techno, and “Holographic Principle” gets trippier and hallucinogenic with Projekt Gestalten’s signature acid lines. The Lady Machine’s “Wise People In Reverse” remix takes the original theme to a driving, peak hour approach and transforms it into an effective DJ tool.

“There are no more innocent people on Earth, only wise people in reverse”.

UFC Records back with their second release with a four tracks Ep produced by label´s co-ower R.I.P. Bestia. The four tracks are original tracks produced between 2020 and 2021 years. Side A of this EP contains two tracks more oriented for the dance floor, like "Chordal Constellations" where the psychedelic electronic of the 90's is fused with the minimal sound of the first 2000's and "VCO Ray”, where vocoder vocals are mixed with deep techno lines.

On the other side the Ep opens with "Khae!”, psychedelic breakbeat-techno accompanied by ethereal vocals, to finish with "VCO HardCore Foundation", a piece of breakbeat influenced by the Nu Skool Breaks that ends in an acid and breaks explosion.

Greetings Sisters and Brothers...

Welcome back to the global entertainment franchise that is Birdscarer.

We return with a product of the sublime magick that is created by the alchemy of circumstance. Boy meets girl in an acid house (in this case Glasgow's Berkeley Suite), a collaboration is planned; and after a slgiht fermentation due to my procrastination and slackness, Scott Fraser and Louise Quinn's "Together More" is now in your trembling digits. Enjoy.

Andrew Weatherall. May 2019

Concrete presents old archives from Francesco Baudazzi (Violet Poison). Music he did between 2013 and 2014, influenced by his previous releases like "Non Sequitur" (Haunted Air) and "Awakening Messiah" (Bed Of Nails). Four experimental tracks with dark and strong rhythm, Raw and early proto-techno with a cyberpunk attitude. From the droney psichedelia of "Psychic Totem" to the cyberpunk proto-body-music of "Disarticolazione Cranica", from the obsessive monotonia of "LSD Take One" to the ultradark Techno of "Ultrakinesis". Enjoy this Industrial/Proto-Techno journey.

The concept of this record is simple, 4 artists join forces to create these non compromising, focussed DJ tools which marks the start of a new release series. The Berlin based producers Avgusto, Jamie Anderson and STRISC. are no stranger to Florian Meindl's FLASH Recordings with several releases on the label and Rekord 61 from Moscow is a new addition to the roaster. Vinyl only.

Detroit’s John Beltran is back in fine style, limited copies..

‘A ceremony that invokes ancient spirits like the Dom & Roland productions, the early raw sound of RZA and the bleakness of the Birmingham techno scene in the 90's.

Touch Of Evil meets Zulawski's On The Silver Globe.

Pessimist runs the voodoo down for the first time on Berceuse heroique and we are proud to release some of his most honest work.’

“The word ‘Isolation’ undoubtedly has a new weight to it. For any person, within communities, it has the ability to starve us of something essential OR positively recalibrate an individual whose introspection can lead to creation. The title & concept of this release is simply an acknowledgement of a creative process in which going inwards can lead to the discovery of something unique.

We as people move alongside technological advancements & this has the power to ‘connect & isolate’. Our personal relationships with one another also take on new forms as our tools for communication change. This inspires creative action. The human response to modern devices can result in surreal and unfamiliar expressions. In terms of music, our instant access to information from the past & engrained intuitions lead us to revisit atavistic rhythms of the past & reinterpret them with new sensibilities. We create music from the ‘Now’ that traverses the ‘Past’ with sights set on the future!

Bonds created from this expression can withstand and even strengthen when inter-continental physical distance is imposed - forcing us to look inward to investigate the true depth of relationships forged out of creative expression. Rhythm has been used for millennia to locate the deepest parts of the soul & to re/connect spirits - this is true also in the modern age. Certain feelings cannot be expressed via digital text-communications nor with words alone; Music is the answer. Connection through disconnection.

The Artwork on the B-side of this record is a symbol of the individual, isolated & pinned down by the spindle, falling, spiralling, a metaphor for whatever turns you inward. The needle on the record emanates the rhythm”

Steven Rutter, one half of B12, returns to De:tuned with a staggering ode to the 90s UK bleep techno era. Opener "O.L.F. ResPekt" sets the bar with a respectful flashback to the trademark sound. "Rewind 273" follows the path with a pitched down composition that strengthens the rather mellow and floaty vibe. On the flip "Incredible" combines the best of both worlds, a real gem for all bleep and bass fiends in signature B12 style.

Kevin Foakes (Openmind, DJ Food, Ninja Tune) created all the graphic work. Mastered by Matt Colton at Metropolis and pressed on 180 gr vinyl. A separate digital release will also be available at the usual digital shops. Stay tuned!

VII Circle returns to his Destroy To Rebuild imprint this March with two fierce techno tracks alongside Mickey Nox and Fractions remixes.

Following 2020's "Fearless EP", which saw support from the likes of Rebekah, Regal, and Randomer, VII Circle returns to his own Destroy To Rebuild imprint with two blistering originals and a pair of remixes from Green Fetish's Mickey Nox and Russian duo Fractions.

Title track "Warriors" gets straight to the point with a heavy-duty synth snaking its way through the track, as a series of relentless drums and sharp production combine to form a pure sonic assault. "Mayhem" takes a darker turn, conjuring images of dark, sweat-filled rooms, taking influences from intense club experiences.

For Mickey Nox's take on "Warriors", the Melbourne based producer strips the track to the bone, turning his focus to bone-crushing drum shaping, reducing the lead synth of the original to a sparsely used element, deployed to maximum effect.

Drawing from their experience on Rotterdam Electronix and Dax J's Monnom Black VA, Fractions turns "Mayhem" into an upfront banger. By adding rave-infused stabs and the occasional breakbeat to the mixture, the duo brings a fresh take on the original, with a euphoric breakdown thrown in for a brief respite before the pandemonium resumes.

In a world full of rhythm, our inner callings rise. From the deep depths of our roots we chant and we pray. They keep on talking beneath the visions of hazy days twinkled with silver linings and mahogany dreams. The shaman trickles his way into your soul. The almighty seeker mystifies our kingdom. We have gathered to dance. We are together now. Let's explore the nature of Tumi, forever.

Moustache Records 039 is made by a Moustache brother from the first hour "El Cubano" Danny Daze. This obscure techno acid electro EP contains 4 dark Club bangers for the floor. A1 Trumpet track ft. Johnny Superglu is the EP action starter. Crazy Loud Kick drums, a distorted trumpet played by the notorious Johnny Superglu on Acid. Retard synths, a dark vocoder shout and topped off with razor sharp snares. A2 track is called "Late night snack" a song about a boy on its way to the nightstore to get a coca cola. There he lost his way on LSD around the corner of his own house, a pure club banger with weird kiddo lunatic samples. B1 "Wandering aimlessly in NY for 4 hours" 4x4 monotonous building up acid tune. Do you remember that waiting before that new space journey? B2 is the EP tittle track "El Cubano" pure raw oldskool bunker strobo acid with robot vocoder voices and rolling drum section. Mentalism is not a crime!

Emmanuel s 'Rave Culture' is a record that pushes the boundaries of techno to another level. 'Rave Culture' is his first full-length on the label bringing 2x12" round of wax. Ten cuts that are committed to fill a space in the rave scene that no one else has done in terms of Power, Experimentation, work of Soul and most of all showing respect for the old-school way of doing things. This LP is his largest achievement yet and aims to showcase who he is.

Emmanuel directs the listener to unknown territory keeping them very concentrated on a Rave scenario,but also giving them different reasons to think, act & explode - all with the right balance. Deadly floor massacre weapons and well crafted heavy bass works elevate to a modern way of thinking as well as challenging the dancer to think forward and get inspired.

Rave has never been so alive and this is the testimony of it all. 'Emmanuel - Rave Culture'

Naone debuts on UTTU! Channeling her sounds towards dreamy and cosmic elements that allow her to daydream or space out but still keeping the fun of the dancefloor. A follow-up to recent collaboration EP "Separate Ways" with S.O.N.S., her first solo release takes you on a journey of tracks influenced by progressive trance, techno and downtempo, with emotional synth and 303 acid lines filling out space. Including the remix by Bliss Inc and a special collaboration with Denial.

We are back on wax again with a very special release. It means a great pleasure for us to have one of the pivotal figures of the Madrid underground techno scene on board, Herr Unkle Fon.

Some years ago, Madrid clubscene was formed by conventional clubs in conventional locations with conventional opening and closing times and usually, conventional programming. Manuel Cano then founded Utopía Secret Society and things changed forever for the city’s underground nightlife.

Now as you may have noticed there is no club scene at all, neither conventional nor illegal, sign of the times.

Musically speaking, Manuel started as a guitarist and soon evolved into studio engineer, label owner, club promoter, record shop owner (Ater Cosmo), social agitator… and adventurous character that reflects in his productions all his knowledge of the dancefloor.

Jisatsu is a slow paced broken beat surrounded with smooth textures, soon joined by a repetitive synth line that adds the hypnotic component.

Genroku Ako follows with a cosmic approach, continuous percussive and synthetic lines run together on a fast BPM exercise obsessive, linear and mental.

On the flip side, 47 Ronin uses dreamy stabs over a relentless groove mixing liquidity with tension.

Closing the release Shuppatsu is an almost beatless exercise, just with 909 rimshots, toms and snares spiced with ethereal components

A timeless futuristic release that can wait on your record bag until things go in better directions.

A great slice of current SUF quality Acid Techno

The X CLUB. beasts have busted out of Brisbane, Australia with Steel City Dance Discs Volume 22.

Buckle in as the renegades, known individually as DJ Speed/Jesse Patrick and NORA DRUM, take us on a manic hoon through electro, rave and jungle-informed techno.

Although this is only their first vinyl offence, their criminal record is a hefty one. The delinquents are charged with lawless breaks, aggravated synth chaos, verbal sample assault and series of twisted bass infringements.

Benjamin Damage reports back for a fresh slice of his singular strain of modern-day Techno.
Alpha Centauri institutes the record atmospherically, setting up the scenery of ethereal winds, prowling basses, and muscular drums. Picking up the pace, Circle Machine is a busy tune, rigidly rattling towards an array of tripped-out synths, yet captivating with their off-key harmonics.
Heavier but equally distinctive, Damage opens the B-side with his skillful blend of assaulting, rough-edged machine sounds, and soothing, celestial ambiance. He then twists around again, cleverly seeing us out with a surprisingly lively arrangement of sneaky synth squelches, making for a well-rounded as accomplished EP-package.

After his debut last year, The Eskapist re-appears from the shadows for another double-episode of the story...

Memorial Home and Arnaud Le Texier team up for this split vinyl on REVOLT by bringing you these 4 individual cuts that contrast a distinctive sound between both sides of this vinyl.

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

After a mini-hiatus, Lunar Disko Records returns with a four track EP featuring two of our favourite producers, VC-118A, and Delta Funktionen....VC-118A aka Samuel van Dijk returns on Lunar Disko, guiding the listener into deeper realms of sound via three more expertly crafted electro tracks. Aficionado's of VC-118A's deep sound will be particularly pleased with this latest installment of emotive electronics from the VC-118A project.
Delta Funktionen makes his Lunar debut and completes the EP with a killer techno / electro remix of 'Vlucht Naar Nachtschade'. DF combines rough 808 drums and a deep moog-like bass with VC-118A's sparse and spacious sound to devastating effect.

0.9999...//READ THAT SEQUENCE LIKE A MANTRA After their successful collaboration on “<3”, AtomTM and X1N are back, this time presenting the 4 track EP “0.9”. It contains both the opening and closing tracks of “<3” as well as their corresponding mutations. While “0.9 (Almost a Unit)” was remixed by Esplendor Geométrico, “Almost a Unit (0.9)” got reworked by Peter van Hoesen. “Both renditions contribute amplified iterations of inherent attributes of <3” as X1N eloquently states. On a side note it may be mentioned that in mathematics, the expression “0.999..” is considered being identical to 1. Meditating over that very fact may tell you a lot about our current reality. #HardCodePop //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// PROXIMITY IS DESTINY DREAMS AS SEARCH ENGINES X

Satin is the first solo EP from Lack, the alias of Manchester based artist Charlie Foy - having previously featured on various twelves for the Cong Burn collective. Recorded between 2016 and 2019, these tracks were started during long train journeys, before being finished in the studio. More introspective than previous material, these tracks offer a unique insight into the window of serenity that comes from movement and being in-between places.

These exceptionally balanced and well-crafted compositions use production techniques that explore the relationship between the natural and synthetic, using transients from field recordings to trigger machines, as well as granular synthesis and resampling techniques that further blur this distinction. Equally suited to listening at home or in a club context, these tracks reward deep listening and continually reveal details with each listen.

Linkan Ray is back to -Be As One- with his second release on the label in the form of -Universal Language-. Backed up with 2 excellent remixes from the Israeli label boss -Shlomi Aber- and the always on point - ROD-. Dark room techno boomers, Not to be missed..

Edit Select Records returns to vinyl after a long hiatus with the excellent new record from rising Spanish star Oxygeno.

The EP includes two remixes from Edit Select & Lewis Fautzi and will please fans of melodic and harder edged techno, from the beautiful melodies of "When Everything Ends" to the cinematic perfection that is "Silence (Edit Select Remix)" everything on this EP is perfectly balanced for any of your set needs.

A must have for all serious collectors!
