Techno Vinyl New Releases - News

The Psycho Thrill XTRA series has been still working on different exclusive Vinyl releases since 2013 from the extra-limited in high demand requested label compilation "20 years of Psycho Thrill ... down with the Pig-System" (PTNE-2120 2x12"), originally to be released with 50 ltd. label copies in 2011. Finally this present XTRA release now picks up on the Psycho Thrill domain-theme Acid in the form that finally 4 hard to find tracks are released here for all vinyl lovers, who all have been previously released only as Dub-Plate or White-Label during the Cologne "Psycho Thrill-BNKR Years" (2011-16), 2 be played there continously on this gone but not forgotten Techno Underground club's wheels of steel.

Claus Bachor's release opener "Prostitutes" was already a lil' Underground hit in 1992 on André Fischer's and Ingmar Koch's (Dr. Walker) "Technoworld Vol.2" (!Hype Rec.). And in its 2016 revision, that track has now received exactly that bass punch again, which made that 303 pregnant Acid-jacker with its classic 90s rave feel again in the Cologne BNKR catacombs and on top of that to a straight rollin' floor filler still "riding high on Acid".

Alongside the aforementioned Roland Casper's "Chance" also circulated in various forms for a long time under Psycho Thrill BNKR-Addicts, before this timelessly straight-forward driving 303 track from the internationally well known Cologne Acid Master finally found its deserved way on this vinyl "by popular demand". Just arriving at the club, it fullfills its only mission to detonate as a bomb on the dancefloor without taking any prisoners.

The flipside of the vinyl, in order to then go one step further, is contested by Cologne's Acid legend Andreas Gehm aka The Manager (RIP), who with this Label relevant Acid anthem first beamed the BNKR audience live to the seventh Acid Heaven before his Psycho Thrill-robots started in order to save the world "from Bad Muzik". In addition, exactly as much happens in this track as the bodies of the dancers present can process: It's simply perfect club music on the cutting edge of Acid and Electro!

Last but not least, Tel Aviv's Acid protagonist Rei Elbaz, whose track Claus Bachor brought to Cologne's legendary BNKR from a PAKOTEK club gig in the Mediterranean metropolis in 2013, is takin' part in the fair. To conjure up an hallucinating and significant Acid smile as well on the face of any club's audience, especially at all morning Sunday after-hour events. That all under the title motto "Acid 2gether" over the entire play-time of this smokin' 4-tracker... still today, tomorrow and in all eternity!

Transition Part 2 continues Arthur Robert’s reduced style, opening with a sleek tunnel-vision thumper, but then deviates for a playful breakbeat space exploration in collaboration with like-minded modular nerd Naty Seres. Eventually closing out the B-side of his strong 8-track package, Robert first boils the energy down to essential deep minimalist trip first, then ramps up the levels one last time for an exquisite example in rumbling dub-techno. Both parts of the Transition EPs firmly establish Arthur Robert further as an expert craftsman, merging the sonic textures of psychedelic jams with the forceful rhythms and intricate melodies of purist techno.

The long awaited debut S.L.A.M. EP 'Laminator' from Ayarcana arrives in expected fashion. This master of noise, texture and groove offers three original tracks. His unique ability to combine relentless evolving drum work, raw powerful synths and hellish modular noise into dance floor destruction is a creation to behold. Big daddy Perc comes through with a vintage remix to complete the first S.L.A.M. EP of 2020.

Minimal Violence return to Tresor Records with Phase Two of their DESTROY ---> physical REALITY psychic <--- TRUST series. This five-track 12” kicks off straight into the dust storm of Dreams 4 Sale, a Lynchian trip through explosive breakbeat manipulation, sirens and cries deep into the abyss.
True to form, Ashlee Luk and Lika P harness raw tensions and lock into the flow on Mankind. An EBM monster, its bass sequences lay writhing non-stop, over a beat in full propulsion. Drawing to a close, the kick drum falls out leaving a suspended room full of action.
The Canadian duo then follows up with the sensational Hard Delivery, a 175bpm hi-NRG gabber barrage. Smeared synths hint at a melody, like a pair of pitched-up foghorns beaten down in a harsh rhythm world, as disfigured barks amp up the pressure. Prey Drive is the most straight techno track, its industrial bassline a cornerstone to grip onto, as its elements pile in on top. Closing track 1992 wears its identity on its sleeve, a pure rave track inspired by the early 90s sound. Distorted drums and synthesised strings coat a gnarled breakbeat with paranoid malice.
Sounding like nothing else right now, its influences are chewed-up and spat-out. There is no sound capable of sitting still, just a mutant sonic environment of destructive movement.

Third release on Steve Pickton’s co-owned Fencepiece record label features something special from the OTHER WORLD Studios archive - the first ever Stasis release from 1993. Three sublime examples of classic UK Techno from one of the true originators - Vanmannans Answer also features an early studio collaboration with fellow UK legend Nuron. Originally released on the tiny Time is Right label and now super expensive, these tracks have been remastered for 2020 from the original DAT.

Mickey Nox kicks off the first Vinyl release for 2021 on GFR with his latest EP - 'The Situation That Wrecked Him'. It has three new original tracks that take on a a frustrating path, that pound round the sounds spectrum. Pushing his limits and consciously running away from the generic production comforts, it shapes the current state of his sound. We also have a psycho remix from the man, 'Manni Dee'. A straight up hammer remix, to the point and in your face. #fuckinghammers only!

In 2018, Innate unveiled its debut release - four varied slabs of deep electronic music from a mix of unsung heroes and underground stalwarts. The label's second release naturally treads a similar path, offering a trio of cuts that champion futurist electronic music - shot through with warmth, humanity and machine soul.

Heading up the A-side, Bristol veteran 'A Sagittariun' shines through with "Proof" - an altogether deeper affair than much of his forthright and intense output, with ghostly lead lines, melancholic electronics and spacey chords stretching out across a bustling groove: rich in hazy analogue bass and crunchy machine drums.

Side B is led by key Innate family member 'Gilbert'. "Polynoid" is another impressive outing with ear-catching riffs, acid lines and melodic movements rising and falling above a wonderfully retro-futurist, Chicago-influenced groove. Accompanied by "Our Love For Music" from Final Chapter boss and sometime Rawax contributor 'Sean Dixon'. Intergalactic tones combine the widescreen vision of Detroit's early pioneers with the jacking, sweat-drenched percussive intensity of Chicago's finest.

2020 sollte für Anne Clark ein triumphales Jubiläum ihrer Karriere werden, mit einem großen Geburtstag und einer großen Tournee. Aber es wurde ein unruhiges Jahr, welches mit gar keiner Tour und einer Krebsdiagnose endete.

Unterstützung kam von vielen Künstlern und Musikern und so wurde die Idee eines Remix-Projekts geboren. Anne sagt: "Dieses Album enthält Material, das mich und viele Menschen in zahlreichen Interpretationen in den letzten ca. 40 Jahren begleitet hat. Die Puristen werden bei den Originalen bleiben wollen und für sie sind sie da.

Diejenigen, die rastlos mit mir durch das Leben reisen, werden gesehen/gehört haben, wie sich diese Stücke im Laufe der Jahre in viele Formen und Stile verwandelt haben. Als Performer und Autor, der durch das Leben und all seine Veränderungen, Phasen und Entwicklungen rast, und der an die organische und abstrakte Natur der Musik glaubt, hoffe ich, dass mein Publikum dieses Projekt als das nehmen wird, was es ist - Reworks von einigen der besten Musiker, Produzenten und DJs, die in diesem speziellen Moment der Zeit arbeiten."

fresh Techno jams - TIP!

Animals On Psychedelics retruns with a split EP, and it's a family affair with Release from previous artists who have Featured on the first 3 release and also the new addition of BPMF.

All 4 tracks are very different, but all fit nicely with the realms of the Animals On Psychedelics sound. A2 is an old track from Invisible Menders that is finally getting to see the light off day.
On the B-Side it's a slightly less dance floor tripped out affair From Mmemphis & Miro sundayMuiq.

Uruguayan producer Z@P releases on Binh’s Time Passages for their 18th release.

The collaborative debut of American minimal techno pioneer Troy Pierce and Colombian audiovisual artist Natalia Escobar aka Poison Arrow was conceived in reverse: first they created a collection of shadowy surrealist videos, then wrote music inspired by them. This inverted process proved remarkably fruitful. Shatter is a simmering, slow-burn noir odyssey inspired by the Greek myth of Echo and Narcissus, traversing subtle shades of sleepwalker dub, metallic lament, broken beats, and erotic negative space. It's an effectively unsettling evocation of the legend's core theme: “There is nothing more complex than a shattered heart, or a heart that can't love.”

Considering their shared background trafficking in darkened dance floor modes, what's most striking about Pierce with Arrow's partnership is its rhythmic restraint. The album's 10 tracks seethe and shudder between glamor and gloom, with only occasional dread-steeped metronomes mapping the malaise to a grid. They speak of pursuing a “spatial approach” with this project, which manifests in the music's immersive design and patient execution, each mangled clang and rippling pool of bass allowed to reverberate

its full flickering waveform.

Isolated percussion and gravely atmospherics blended in this new deep hypnotic sampler of Koslif. Where its minimal elegance, rich textures and dystopian soundscapes are taking you to the next level.

We present a new label in exclusive worldwide distribution, it is Onna Bushi, based in Berlin and with clear intentions. First edition in 12 “Lathe Cut. Three driving techno tunes designed to hurt any dance floor created by “Dinamite”.

Mit "Sol" meldet sich der dänische Produzent Kasper Marott auf Seilscheibenpfeiler zurück. Die beiden fesselnden, von Melodie getriebenen Techno-Tracks sind der Teaser zu seinem anstehenden Debütalbum. Im introspektiven Titeltrack sonnt sich Kasper Marott 9 Minuten lang in progressive, hypnotische Rhythmen und setzt eine Duftmarke, die gleichsam Tänzer und Tagträumer anspricht. "Katla" schlägt in eine ähnliche Kerbe. Seine dramatischen Synths, polternden Rhythmen und Sci-Fi-Sounds öffnen die Tür zur Vergangenheit und teilen sich die DNA mit dem loopy Rave-Techno der späten 90er.

Nach seinem Remix von Pan-Pots Hit "Exzentrisch" vor zwei Jahren kehrt der israelische Produzent Shlomi Aber auf dem Berliner Label Second State zurück und liefert eine EP mit zwei aggressiven, trippigen und einer atmosphärischen, eher breakbeatigen Nummer ab, unterstützt von einem groovigen Remix der sich revanchierenden Pan-Pot Jungs. Der seit fast 20 Jahren tourende Produzent haut einen Release raus, der auf allen Fronten überzeugt, und Second State könnte sich kein überzeugenderes Debüt von ihm vorstellen.

The second release by Hamburg based label ohne kommerziellen Wert is a diverse DJ weapon with four tracks by four different artists, aimed strictly at the dancefloor. The trippy and hypnotic A-Side kicks off with Dune by Vuuduu, a sci-fi roller with a touch of trance, followed by RO/AD's spaced-out steamroller Sektor. STUTE opens up the B-Side with the juggernaut tool-track Abdates, before Strathy's otherworldly Antidub sends you through the wormhole. 200 copies limited.

TRUST returns with four cutting-edge transmissions by Versalife (aka Delsin's Conforce). Classic and experimental electro meet high-impact techno ('Recirculator') for a hefty dose of panglossian optimism. Don't miss.

After 15 years of releasing underground electronic music Ion Ludwig remains to push the boundaries of his signature sound. Parameters set in a different decade to prevail the formula’s and algorithmic that adapted minimalism throughout pre corona-times.

Now stepping into digital realms of music and video Ludwig was invited by Swiss art-city-Citizens to write
and produce a latest triple 12” album, his third of this volume, and first not on his own label-outlets, now for Adam's Bite, Basel.

‘Truth only exists in Paradise’ tells the truth of non-truth. Nothing today can be seen independent and no information seems to be holy. The truth is a hopeless lost soul, nowhere welcome or at home but in paradise. Most, our own “paradise” if it may still exist. And that it may please you, there.

While playing Lyckle de Jong’s album to friends, it seemed it would also be a good opportunity to get some of them on the same record together and create a remix EP. So, three friends were tasked with reworking tracks from Lyckle’s 'bij Annie op bezoek'. The original album was inspired by a trip to see a retired and quarantined pensioner friend called Annie, in Leiden. Using some of the field recordings from that visit, Lyckle created a soundworld of Annie’s life and apartment, which exists in a time all of its own, floating somewhere between old photos and the present day.

The remixes develop this otherworldly atmosphere. BREW helmsman Robert Bergman runs 'TV Oranje' through his machines to create a proper dubbed-out EBM chugger, twisting the walls of the club in on itself to psychedelic effect. Meanwhile, with 'voor een flat in de Merenwijk', Peter Graf York takes the soundtrack elements and delivers two versions: one an industrialised metal machine stepper, the other a pixelated stomper that could have dancers bashing their heads on the ceiling, Mario-style, if they were powered-up enough. Flippen Disks’ Monty goes straight for the kick drum jugular, weaving brain-melting pads and bass oscillations into thick dancefloor carpet on the track 'Trappenhuis'.

The third vinyl is from the founder of our label AKA Mirnha (ARG) and the excellent artist Omar Amo AKA Magoo (ARG). This album was born on Christmas day and thus its name: "Weihnachten". Fine, cosmic and groovy techno sounds.

Obsidian's first vinyl release alongside Parallel Connection's first release.

This french trio working in the shadow between London and Paris is throwing at us their unique approach of music.
Balancing through many influences, it’s a rich old/new school electronics sounds fusion able to break dancefloors or just follow you into your better days...

The first vinyl release on Alter Ego Recordings presents a re-release of two Alter Ego classics remixed by Luke Slater in 1993 and 1994 ! A. Alter Ego - Soulfree' Luke Slater's Ortoe Circuit Mix B. Alter Ego - Lycra' Luke Slater's Dinosaur Mix Roman Flügel and Jörn Elling Wuttke are very happy to present their first vinyl single on their own platform Alter Ego Recordings. In charge again of their entire back catalogue, under monikers like Acid Jesus, Sensorama and Alter Ego, they're starting to re-release all the classic albums sometimes accompanied by newly curated vinyl Ep's. The singles will feature unreleased material, forgotten classics and brand new remix-projects of favourite producers and friends in perfectly re-mastered 12- sound. The first vinyl release on Alter Ego Recordings presents a re-release of two Alter Ego classics remixed by Luke Slater in 1993 and 1994. For many people he is the epitome of hard and driving British electronica. His music, especially under his Planetary Assault System moniker, influenced just about everyone in techno over the last twenty years. Things kick off on the a-side on this record with a Basic Channel style sounddesign. The dubbed chords, moved by a full-bodied bassline and frequent cowbells featured in his Ortoe Circuit Remix' of Soulfree' are showing that Luke's more soulfull side is as good as his tough mode. The slamming Dinosaur Mix' was already in boxes of jocks like Sven Väth and Andrew Weatherall and shows Slater with the foot on the pedal. Cascades of flanged sounds drifting in and out of focus, while no-nonsense drums and percussion driving dance floors in frenzied submission.

Breaking out on Figure with an exciting debut double EP in 2020, the Arthur Robert now returns with yet another equally impressive pair of records.Here the artist once more shows his unique mix of psychedelic elements with a deep hypnotic edge and a straight-up dancefloor approach. This two-part release comes as a varied collection of strangely beautiful melodies and lively modular sounds that infuse each track with far more life than is visible on the surface. Transition Part 1 starts out strong with stomping kicks and crushing percussion, it’s the glitchy effects that etch in a memorable listening experience. Similar goes for the booming, more spacious A2 and the colorful Drum and Bass-reminiscent B1. Finally, Robert closes part one with a stripped-back stepper, honing in on that sweet spot between radical melodic repetition and finely textured effects.

RAWAX proudly presents Neil Landstrumm's 1997 album "bedrooms And Cities" back on vinyl!


This re-mastered beauty will hit the stores late October incl. bonus track "George Shoulders is Alive".

The time is now, the time is ARA: A brand new label from Daniel Kyo & Veryan, where presence is at the centre of everything.

Literally translating to ‘now’ in his native Valencian, ARA will map Daniel’s exploration between his own local roots and his personal connections and spiritual affinity with Japan. The journey starts right here with his own EP under his Core alias that first emerged on Hivern Discs last year.   

’15 Years’ acts as the consummate mission statement; a hypnotic rolling slice of mystic tech noir armed with a bulbous bottom end and trippy, existential voice over. Its groove and prominence is compounded by the killer remixes; Crayon don Mark Ambrose flips it into kinetic funky tech version with strong moments of paranoia and sonic freakery while rising Spanish dreamweaver Marc Piñol cracks the cosmic whip and extends the track into a much foggier, trippier affair.

The mission statement ends with full intent as Daniel returns to the Core of the matter for the finale ‘Kaizen’. A lavish, evocative voyage, powered by another one of Kyo’s signature immersive juggernaut grooves, once again the connection and ambition is clear: translating to ‘improvement’, ‘Kaizen’ surges with a sense of hope, uplift and exciting plans for the future. Make no mistakes; ARA will be back with more excursions very very soon…

We kick start the return of Wigflex records with a brand new release from first time flexer and Nottingham's biggest blades fan... Son of Philip. Inspired by the story of how Cans drummer Jaki Liebezeit was once told to "play monotonous" during the LSD-induced ramblings of a fan; and the experimentation into repetition which followed.
We first heard Rubber Stamp during a wonky walk around Dam in the early hours of the morning, it made perfect sense then and still makes perfect sense now. King of hazy, crystallised electronics Actress steps things up a notch and takes the ep away from a Hoffman-esque bicycle ride and onto the dance floor.

The 11th release in the Truncate series. 3 tracks, 2 of which were licensed in Ben Sims Fabric mixed CD in 2013. 3 solid DJ tools for the clubs.

Oscillation is the repetitive variation, typically in time, of some measure about a central value or between two or more different states. Aleksi Perala uses the 128 resonant colundi frequencies to create an oscillation perfected to 33.3 rpm for an infinite effect. Part 2 of a 2 part series divided over Clone Basement and Dub.

Danse Club followers will know Lauhaus has been with the label since their early days when he joined the imprint with his remix of 'Kalisha - I Got Something Here'. He now comes through with 'Smoke Screen', a 3 track vinyl only EP and his 5th EP for Danse Club. It's all house and techno
