Techno Vinyl New Releases - News

Following up on the earlier Paling Trax adventures, TAFKAMP kicks off his Revenge Techniques imprint with a diverse techno 4-tracker. Highly essential club tracks!

Omnia Vanitas – the newest compilation from the emerging France-based label Lowlife Cartel – explores musical horizons from jungle to rap and combines dance music with an experimentalHoneälome (ABCD) opens the EP with a catchy saturated beat layered with distorted vocals. Kuzma Palkin (Gost Zvuk, Wicked Bass), also known as Kausto, features his minimal production with the immersive rap flow of MC Suprem Cam. Solotape (Low Income $quad) ends Side A with a heavily deconstructed experimental sound, oscillating between techno and an analogue lofi vibe. Side B kicks off with the invention of emo jungle – "Tru man cry", by Hajj (Dawn, BFDM), a cutting-edge jungle-leaning track mixed with a detached vocal sample in the background. "y-x4-rec", by Buttechno (Rassvet), is a more grounded ambient track with a focus on texture, but without sacrificing the dystopian, singular productions of this artist. "Purgatory", by the rapper duo 2Beast featured by Ko$te, on canadian producer Hexmane's beat, closes the EP on a dark Memphis rap vibe, with mastering by Studio Martyrs.Once again, the newest compilation represents a solid roster of emerging, genre pushing artists and some of the biggest cats in the game.

If you want a snapshot of where techno stands in any given year, and a preview of where it’s headed, look no further than Drumcode’s A-Sides compilation. Since 2012 it has marked the label debuts of countless vital Drumcode artists and affiliates, from Layton Giordani, Wehbba and Boxia, to Amelie Lens and ANNA, no less.

Every year, new names are unearthed, tried and true techno contributors serve up their best, and icons of the industry land their debut on Adam Beyer’s storied label. The 2020 edition hits with 13 tracks, eight coming from label debutants.

First up for part two, Victor Ruiz & Thomas Schumacher link and the result is ‘Intuit’, a sleek futuristic roller that hits you square between the eyes. Anfisa Letyago, a DC first-timer, then shows why she’s one of the scene’s most highly touted new artists with the brooding beast ‘Are You In’.

Rounding things off Loco & Jam power through with a brooding cut filled with sustained synths and cascading percussion.

From his Innervisions debut four years ago, Aera’s productions have only become more complex and melodically inspired. With a title that speaks to the life force inhabiting all beings and things, his return, Prana EP, is imbued with the instincts of a storyteller across six sonically different yet interconnected micro-worlds.

Traveling to the future through a past of machines. Childhood Intelligence Thirteen written/produced by “Electrodefedender”. Unknown to most, Originating from Frankfurt am Main, he has been pursuing his art for more than 20 years. Self-releasing through his own “Defendergrooverecords” - Re-Introduced to the World with his New Mini Album - “A Mirror Of A Soul”. Post-apocalyptic, classical, and mystic are the atmospheres that float across. Break-battle style Electro, Vocoders and Newbeat - full of Rich Synthesiser Landscapes that remind of the source, the early 80s Origin

Lewis Fautzi Legt Eine Ausgeklügelte Ep Für Bpitch Control Vor, Die Sich Der Subtilen Kunst Des Techno-minimalismus Verschrieben Hat. Der Portugiese Strebt Unbeirrt Der Zukunft Entgegen, Indem Er Seine Musikalischen Einflüsse Unter Einem Groove Vereint. Die Vier Tracks Auf »deep Illusion« Zeichnen Sich Gleichermaßen Durch Komplexität Und Härte Aus Und Sind Also Für Djs Maßgeschneidert, Die Selbst Zu Peak-time-zeiten Noch Etwas Wagen Wollen.

As one of the original British interpreters of Detroit's machine music Steve Pickton is an undisputed UK techno legend - his unique take on the original Detroit sound and his productions on his own labels as well as B12, Peacefrog and Kirk Degiorgio’s ART and op-Art imprints are acknowledged as sublime examples from this seminal period of UK Electronica. He’s probably best known for his work as Stasis but he's also released records as Phenomyna and Paul W. Teebrooke. His work is characterised by a singular vision that delivers a poignant and emotional blend of soul and synths seasoned with jazz, funk and sci-fi flavours.

This second release on his co-owned Fencepiece label features three majestic examples of his work and comes as a vinyl only, individually numbered, strictly limited edition. The celestial Tau is released for the first time on vinyl, after its original appearance as a CD only track on the 1995 Stasis album Inspiration. Travellor and From Afar again also appear for the first time on wax - they were previously only available on Phenomyna's 1994 CD Unexplained on ART.

Ben Klock's Klockworks invites the legendary London-based artist The Advent to join the ever-growing roster to deliver the 22nd instalment on the label, to be due out this September. The Advent started producing in his trademark raw, energetic style in 1994 and since then has become a rebel and an icon in the scene. Cisco Ferreira puts forward three stand-out tracks for Klockworks, one brand new one and two from The Advent's rave archives.

On the A-side, 'High Horse' is a fresh track from The Advent that has been prominent in his live sets, features a saucy vocal that can also be recognised as a favourite in Ben Klock's DJ sets in the past few months, now finally making an appearance on wax for the label.

The flip-side features two previously unreleased tracks from the 90's when the approach was more raw and groovy, something that can be seen having a revival in current times. 'Un Named' is more stripped down and pulsating while 'Sound Pove' features a jacking Chicago house groove with a techno tempo, both fitting perfectly into the Klockworks catalog.

Haven are back with another instalment on their white label series with their third VA compilation on "Sardonic Tonality Vol. 3", with three label mainstays and one fresh face to the imprint.

The A1 kicks things off with "Byronic Hero" from German techno power-house New Frames. Screeching, sinister, syncopated synth work propel the track alongside driving drum patterns and flawless production techniques in this speedy banger. Haven label boss Keepsakes follows on the A2 with "Oblivious Civics", where distorted drum work, ominous vocal samples, and an ear-worm synth hook make for a malevolent dance-floor smasher.

On the flip Italian metal-head Ayarcana returns to Haven for the first time since his split EP with Keepsakes in 2018 on the B1 with "Bring Nothing Take Nothing". Rolling percussion and a rumbling kick drive the track forward alongside eerie drones and creative doom-y modular synth programming in a destructive crusher of a track. Finally the B2 closes the release with "Overmonitorized" from Barcelona's Surit of NX1 fame. Evolving atmospheres interplay with harsh bass textures and overdriven, noisy drum patterns to close out another colossal VA from the Haven team.

Kling Klong celebrates its 10. birthday with the selections of their biggest selling tracks & remixes from the past

Pure techno from label boss of illegal allien records .

Alexander Kowalski makes his debut on Vince Watsons Bio Music imprint with an awesome EP.
Berlin resident Kowalski has been at the forefront of the German music scene for many years, playing all the big festivals and events across the world for over a decade. With his huge discography, most notibly for his releases on the seminal Kanzleramt label, as well as his own imprint Damage Music, Alex has generated a massive following and fans will not be disappointed with this new EP. His recent collaborations with fellow Kanzleramt resident Diego are nothing short of mindblowing and Alex has taken that form forward into this new EP, Green Eyed.

Opening with Falling Down and the title track Green Eyed, both are a perfect blend of old with a modern twist of new and this is as good as it gets from Kowalski, taking his signature sound and tweaking them for that Bio influence. The Garden of SEM takes a different approach, and slows things down into a deep atmospheric groove which takes you on a real trip from start to finish. We only Wish Alex had released more tracks like this as its shows his true talent in making deep beautiful music.
Finishing off the EP are 2 digital only bonus cuts of Falling Down Spiral and Green Eyed Escape. Falling Down takes a similiar route as Garden of SEM, but Green Eyed Escape is a 5min ambient piece which matches beautifully with the rest of the EP to complete what is a quite awesome release from this very talented producer. Exceptional stuff. Expect to hear this on dancefloor and radio imminently.

After the big success of the first 'Classic Series' by K' Alexi Shelby, Technorama is back and proud to present a new release by Swedish rising techno producer Santiago Naura aka Bleak.

Using rolling percussion and a thumping kick, 'Primo' really is unbeatable! Luigi uses synth stabs that add character and finesse to this outstanding piece of music. Hypnotizek rounds off the EP being more upfront about where it's going. This cheeky, groove based track will warm up a dance floor quickly and get people in the mood for a real party!

From somewhere in Tennessee. Actually, Knoxville Tennessee. Raw Electro and Breakbeats out of the swamps. Techno and Tennessee are not normally thought of together, but here they are. Bumping.

"Apollo is a new concept project from me, spread across 3 EP's which throw back to the 90's melodic Techno and Progressive Trance sound. Although my roots are firmly in Breakbeat-Rave, I was also captivated by the big room sound of labels like R&S, Guerilla, Hard Hands and Sven Väth’s Harthouse from that same period of time.

My studio is full of old equipment that fuelled that original European sound so I quickly found myself focussing on a bunch of tracks that are heavily influenced by some really special music that often gets forgotten." - SC.

'Banoffee Pies Records' drop their 12th release in the original series with a solo EP from New York based Tristan Arp. With a string of intricate music on the likes of Human Pitch and a recent LP entitled "Suggested Forms", which offers a wider exploration into his work, Tristan's passion for sound design echoes in this record.

All four tracks offer an environment somewhere between a feeling &
a dancefloor with obscure influences in polyrhythmic drum patterns and a clear combination of digital and analogue processing. "Swept Thru" opens proceedings with a spiral of rhythms and heavy percussion leaping in energy throughout, before the spooked out Vox takes control on "Oblique House" with deeper movements in a haunted club tune. The B side opens with the title track "Slip" in a powerful whirlwind arrangement of sub bending sounds before the final colour is added to the palette in "Circling Music'' with emotive jingles in a more retained and patient mood.

You can hear Tristan's other work within the Asa Tone project - a trio group well worth the trip, offering a deep variety of works exploring field recordings taken and formulated in Indonesia beneath a tree canopy deep in the jungle. This same energy and mood spills into this release. Music for feeling. Much love BP x

The dutch producer Egbert put his hands on „Psilocybin Therapy“ and gave the track a dark atmosphere, it is hard to say which version is the best. Let’s get high on that music (Monika Kruse)

Heckmann hard acid classic from an era when deejays still rocked ponytails and dreadlocks.

We are the Gods coming from outer space bringing a message to humanity. We talk to you with dark techno, acid breaks and dark-psychedelic sounds.

Lord Of The Isles, a.k.a. Neil McDonald, has spent the better part of a decade steadily producing and releasing beautiful music.The ESP Institute has always wholeheartedly believed in Neil's work ethic and his journey as an artist who constantly refines his vision, and when we inevitably approached in hopes of working together, we were enamoured by the sheer breadth and depth of work he had 'in progress'.There are two types of artists. One internalises their process, endlessly perfecting their work while finding the endpoint a massive hurdle, in turn they produce immaculate yet very little art.The other is continuously inspired, so full of ideas they can barely work fast enough to articulate them all.The art becomes by-product of their larger trajectory and not just a collection of endpoints. Lord Of The Isles seems to be both, always in an evolving state of process where the work is constantly shed to make way for the new layer growing beneath, yet he holds his cards closely, cherry picking when and with whom he releases his art into the world.Neil is simply prolific. He shared with us a vast catalog of unheard beauty, which over a long span of time was collaboratively shaped into his debut album 'In Waves'.The title speaks to Neil's process both intimately and from afar, it speaks to the emotional ebb and flow of the music itself, and ultimately it speaks to the listener.This album will gift you with something new upon every listen, a concept that is
also gracefully interpreted into the album's artwork by New York City artist, Hassan Rahim.The visceral aesthetic Neil portrays throughout these 15 songs is most certainly a landscape, an assemblage of intimate stories that, as a whole, give us this wider view of his intense drive, his multi-faceted quiver of skill, and his ultimate obsession... beauty.

Ten years is a long time, especially in music. Auxiliary started life purely as an outlet for ASC's music at the back end of the Autonomic movement. Since then, it's been through a number of changes, taking in a lot of different styles along the way, including Autonomic, drum & bass, ambient, downtempo, techno, Grey Area, and music that can only be defined as experimental in nature.

11 Void's breakout EP finally sees a much-demanded vinyl release. With "Acid Carousel" being championed heavily
by Charlotte De Witte and also featured on her New Form III: Rave On Time livestream, this four-tracker has
been garnering attention from across the globe and comes with a remix from Crystal Geometry.

Hailing from Athens, Greece, 11 Void is the collaboration between Christian Cambas and Athens Rave Culture
boss, Desmond Kind.

As the tale of Prodigal Son continues, a fresh in your face French duo named Kas:st, the owners of Flyance Records, deliver an outstanding EP. Tracks Raving Alone & Desolation capture their grimey and chilling sound, which resonates well in any space. The remixes come in the form of a sturdy progressive groove version of Raving Alone from Aufnahme + Wiedergabe's Austria based Englishman, Codex Empire. Also Berlin's homegrown rising star Escape To Mars brings a flare of classic techno style to the record with secular rhythms and a transformation of Desolation's noteworthy pads.
