Every comment is useless ... the story of Electronic Techno is now re-issued Remastered on Flash Forward! 30th anniversary Black Edition with black vinyl, blackand black insert

« As we fought Iron Giants » is Moteka debut album on the french techno label Skryptom It’s a 12 tracks travelling between electronica and techno weapons.

Once upon a time in a distant place and in a distant time, lived a boy named Leon. Leon grew up in a land where legends of past battles between humans and machines, lead by the fierce TCX2290, were strong. It was said victory of the humans over the robots was conducted by the mighty General Ostkröf III. Leon did not go along well with the other children, and spent most of his time alone, exploring the country side, imagining he was the General fighting for human survival. One day, he discovered remains of what seemed to be a hidden sleeping robot, and accidentally triggered its awakening. It was not long before a small army of these Iron Giants were marching towards Leon’s village. Caught in a limbo, Leon had no idea what to do. He tried to stop them but was wounded during the first encounter. Recovering from his wounds, General Ostkröf III appeared to him in his dreams, and taught him the secret of the Smart Weapon. Eventually, the Iron Giants were defeated by Leon and his Smart Weapon during a final confrontation. Peace was back, but nobody never knew that Leon was their savior, for everything was just part of his imagination. 

« As we fought Iron Giants » is the soundtrack to the story of ourselves not wanting to leave childhood and fighting imaginary demons, as we grow into adults. Music in itself is a mean of therapy and channeling the tremendous amount of one’s imagination. 

Banger techno from brittany !

Sandhu reaches the third stage with an EP that includes three tracks: on side A "Black Hole" is a powerful hammer with strong Chigago contamination that leaves little space for romanticism, while "Hunt-em" moves like a wave, dark and sensual that brings us to the depths of Techno.
New in this third volume is the presence of the duo Hinode on the side B, where we find a long hypnotic hike on futuristic scenarios: Here the machines are in control and do the dance.

After several releases on labels like Bar25, Microtonal, Dantze and Etui Records End Of Tape finally hit the box with their Tape Jam EP.

These guys don´t talk with each other, they just do music and that´s the best. The result of this gone wrong musician friendship (but tight producer team at the same time) you can celebrate with this EP.

This is no snow from yesterday, it´s the musical climatic change of tomorrow - without any opportunity. Played & supported by Paco Osuna, Anderson Noise, Lexy, Electric Rescue, Beatamines, Gabriel Ananda, Piemont, Carlo Lio, Markus Kavka and many more.

third blueten release for the barcelona-berlin connection from gimenö and stefan helmke with three dub/break/techno sounds ! vinyl only !

Jos & Eli might seem unknown to many electronic music lovers but they have been releasing great music since 2013. They have been sending me music for a long time and I think we have spend about a year developing this first release on Noir Music, making sure it represented their debut on the label perfectly. When you hear the Adrenaline Hunt release you will notice that the 2 guys from Tel-Aviv have developed into a great production team over the years and these 3 tracks included here are not only cleverly crafted for the deeper dancefloors but can also be enjoyed on home stereo's. Opener 'Obscured Mind' features immense vocal-work by Jinadu and the song is wrapped in delicious and constantly intensified deephouse flavours whereas 'Initiation' has a more tribal, dubby and africanism edge to it. On the title track 'Adrenaline Hunt' which we build the EP aound things get a little more tech, darker and closer to what you would typically expect from Noir Music. Not only am I always excited to have new artists and talents on the label but I feel Jos & Eli bring a new dimension to Noir Music as well.

After a couple of great remixes for Noir Music Robert S (PT) delivers his first solorelease on the label and I am proud to present these three
amazing originals and two remixes courtesy of Drumcell and The
Advent. Robert and I have been compiling this release over several months and put together what we felt was a really strong 3-tracker. We have been testing the tracks in the clubs around the world making sure we had compiled the perfect release and we are both super happy with the end-result. On top of that we reached out to Drumcell and The Advent for remixes and they both delivered fantastic takes on the “Exoplanets” track.

After releasing exclusively for Touch Music UK, Sohrab delivers this long awaited EP on Shahr Farang.

Float Records first vinyl release is a fact. And what could be better then divide it in 2 parts. The first output reflects the second. Label owners TWR72 presents you 'Reflect'.
The 1st remix comes from Berlin based Markus Suckut. A subtle angle is taken on Reflect which makes the remix feel sustainable. Just the perfect remix to include in his impeccable oeuvre. All the way from Finland is analog devotee Samuli Kemppi, who takes care of the 2nd remix. Samuli creates a sudden tension with builds up until the very end. A001, from Amsterdam, turns the original Reflect into a obscure remix with an perplexing 2nd half. A001's mysterious and quiet appearance is a paradox compare to his musical output. TWR72 closes the EP with the bonus track 'Response'. A solid and barbarous answer to Reflect. No words are further needed.

Dark-Side Electro Conjurations- and Gnashing EBM from Medellin, Colombia, Seething with Raw-Punk Energy & Foamy Blood around the Mouth. No nonsense Body Music!

Kaiser is introducing his own imprint with a vigorous EP. Banging, psychedelic and drone techno. Four tracks destined to the vinyl plus two tracks as digital bonus.

It's very hard not to be impressed by the immersive sound design of dutch producer Makam. Glacial Valley is a proper dub techno track that keep inspiring many producers and DJ's even 10 years after it was released. It's simply one of those tracks that sound big and balanced on any sound system. On the flip, Clearings is another highlight!! 15th Anniversary reissue - white vinyl collectors edition.

Following their hugely well-received, refreshingly outlandish debut EP for Phantasy, Israeli club outsiders Red Axes return to the label with another three-track delight of leftfield dance entitled 'Sound Test'. Debuting on Phantasy in 2018, 'Sipoor' by Red Axes was massive.

The release received critical acclaim, not to mention heavy support within the club realm from DJs like Call Super, Jennifer Cardini, Ewan Pearson, Fort Romeau, Massimiliano Pagliara, Chloe, and many more.

Highly soughtafter by those who've heard Erol Alkan unleash it in recent months, 'Sound Test' kickstarts Phantasy Sound's 2019 - a rolling tool for a dance floor sliding into another dimension, constructed around a dramatic, numeric countdown.

A minimal, skeletal build builds hroughout to one of the most out-there breakdowns in recent rave-blotted memory, as the Axes slowly but surely rebuild their house to even more outlandish new proportions.

'Shabak Shalom' quickly snatches the record back from outer space and drags it deep into the basement, zoning in on the gritter, strobe-ready sound that defines the duo's most club-ready work.

All of the Axes' weapons of choice are deployed as unusually as per usual; militant drums, battered electronics, fucked- frequencies, wiry post-punk guitar lines and lovingly drowned traditional instruments blend to create their own special, slightly-menacing interpretation of hi-NRG.

Finally, on the unapologetically sprawling and immediately effective closing number, 'Kookoo Pa-pa', Red Axes demonstrate their inherent talent, if proof were ever needed, of conjuring rolling, simmering tension in otherworldly shades. Those who enjoyed the cartoonish motor FX of 'Teroof' will be delighted to find themselves found into an even wackier race this time round, hitting on the origins of Chicago jack, acid meltdowns and screeching no-wave.

The "Night Without Stars EP" marks the long-awaited solo return to Dynamic Relfection for Deepbass. Drenched in his driving but melodic signature style, Deepbass delivers a two-piece killer cut, ready to transport its listeners to a dark spaced-out world beyond. Topped off by a tripping remix by fellow Glaswegian Edit-Select, this fiery EP is sure to light up even the darkest nights.

First release on the new Copenhagen imprint, featuring tracks by DJ IBON, Lund&R?nde and Stealth Boys, all from the local BunkerBauer crew. The release consists of three fast and trance infused tracks for the floor, and makes a contribution to the current flowering of Copenhagen dance music. BunkerBauer is a DJ and producer collective, and has been a central institution in the Copenhagen techno scene for several years. All tracks are produced in the BunkerBauer studios which is located in an old bunker from world war 2, in the centre of the city. On the A side there is DJ Ibons driving rhythms and dark trance leads, followed by an insisting groover by Stealth Boys. The B side contains Lund&R?ndes wax debut; an uplifting and symphonic banger, that will stick in your head for days.

Big dancefloor giver.
4 pityless tunes, massives and newskool, full of ideas and grooves.

Pure crazyness :)

Old school never die !!

Minimal serious tribe stuff. Solid kick and quarrel sounds.

Mesmerising, minimalist, pure Techno trips & DJ weapons spread over two EPs.

To understand where 'The Attic' came from, we have to go back to one of my oldest memories: watching Der Phantastische Film on German tv. The movies that left the deepest marks on me were the ones that zoomed in on the possible bad sides of technology and predicted the downfall of mankind. A next personal cornerstone was Tubeway Army's 'Are 'friends' electric', from 1979: it was the first time I was blown away by the sound of synths. It felt so new, an expression of the perversity of technology through music. The song was about androids who seduced humans in order to rape them. The shortcomings of human beings transported to technology. It was machines turning against humanity. It wasn't like Kraftwerk who were very first degree, unpersonal and too clean.

I was an early adopter of home computers, but the instruments and studio stuff to make music were still out of my reach in the early eighties. So when sampling came along, for me it was not only an important change in sound image, but it opened up all these possibilities too. And then finally, in the mid-eighties - I was working in the military - people started selling their hardware to make the switch to digital. I bought loads of old gear and started experimenting with sound. It was around the time when the whole new beat thing exploded in Belgium. I despised it. To me they were yuppies with smileys plundering a subculture, shitting out one bland record after another... At the time I was listening to B-2 Unit by Sakamoto, or the weird electropop of YMO. That's probably where my idea of techno was shaped: this idea of electronics mixed with the German Bauhaus school, or with abstract Malevich paintings.

I quit the army around 1990, and shortly thereafter I had a dark dream that caused me to make 'The Attic'. I was in the attic of a house. It felt magical, but there was a sense of underlying danger. I looked up and the roof came off and started to dissolve, and I heard voices with bird like frequencies calling from the cosmos: 'come with us, come with us.' Maybe it was about the deification of technology Anyway, the image and the feeling of the dream were so vivid I transcribed them to music in maybe two days.

When the demo was finished, we went straight to Boccaccio and handed it to Olivier Pieters, who immediately played it. 'The Attic' went on to become one of the signature songs for which they switched on the big lasers. It started to live its own life: I heard it in shopping streets in Amsterdam, it was blazing from cars, it was huge in Germany after the wall fell, etc.

I quickly realized the music business wasn't something for me though: all these people with their profiling urge, the bootlegs, the fact that music got pushed into formats ... In retrospect, I was part of a scene without really taking part in it.

For the ninth instalment of the Konstrukt Series it is Samuel van Dijk's moniker Mohlao that graces the spot with a five track minimalistic exploration of the deep electronic realm. Targeting the fiction of a journey through metropolitan areas during nightfall, Mohlao's sound gives us comfort and stimulates our dream-state awareness. The environments that appear are real, yet we are more than passive observers.

Pablo Mateo for Baka Gaijin: BAGA004 delivers Acid dream baseline vibes into Aphex Twin ambient works.

Green Marbled Vinyl

The 4th acid compilation is definitely a collectible! With an explicit track from Eat Static which is produced back in the 90s and has that oldschool goa touch and rave breakbeats - we love it!!! 303 Airline has his tribute on Flatlife with an excellent pounding acid techno banger which can be played loud in clubs. Together on the A-side with DJ Wank; a great acid techno producer from Sweden; pounding driving acid techno. Then last but not least; label owners Jack Wax (Flatlife Records) & Sam C. (Dosis Decibel / Cat in the Bag) team up; with this excellent dark acidcore track "Missing" - which is the 1st track they ever created together!! 4 styles of acid again on 1 vinyl! Enjoy this one!!!

Housed in a label sleeve and comes on solid blue and yellow mixed vinyl.

Ben Sims' long running Hardgroove imprint drops a new split release from Ultramajic artist Chambray and newcomer George Tounisidis this September.The 12 inch A-side comprises two exclusive instrumental versions of cuts originally released on Kompass in 2014 that show the German artist's robust house leanings nicely while the flip side sees two similarly meaty house-informed techno cuts from George Tounisidis.
As always with Hardgroove, this is a 12 Inch of dancefloor weapons for the heads.

Barcelona-based artist Cardopusher and french producer La Bile, both known for their breakcore debuts in the 00s, are back with a 6-tracks split EP mixing freaky techno, outlandish electro, kooky jungle... This is acid for weirdos !

Jeremy Hyman steps up to FT with the first of two 12" EPs that are a coordinated blast of colorful, galaxy-edge plastic techno from the master percussionist who moonlights in Lifted, Boredoms, Animal Collective, and more. Always rhythmatic in exciting ways, Hyman's drum programming here is more arms than buttons, injecting a fly human element in the 12". "Slide" does what it says with amazing technoid bass work and a propulsive sense of timing, "Madness" hovers and falls and hovers again, and "Tinted Mirror" is some sort of Foodman-meets-Prescription-Records house symphony, rising and rising and rising. Tip!

Lady Neptune is a state of euphoria. Lady Neptune isn’t real, Lady Neptune is a reality.

Originally formulated in London as a performing alter-ego for nascent singer-songwriter and fashion student Moema Meade, Lady Neptune has been an ongoing work that has evolved from distorted guitar dirges, bass-heavy synth pop music into its current Hi NRG 4am experimental Gabber nadir. New Gorbals Gabber is monstrous and glorious. Informed by goblinzed cave dwelling nu metal aesthetics, cheap ‘n’ nasty instrumentation but above all, peeking like an elvin proboscis around the corner of your mind, is an unstoppable knack for hooks that elevates these compositions to channels for new planes of ecstasy.

Mostly performed live using an Electribe sampler/sequencer with synths, New Gorbals Gabber feels like a live recording at the rave in the final circle of Dante’s Inferno. How much fun does that sound? We’re talking Lucifer’s Manumission, Hanger 666. Meade-as-Neptune is an impish presence, Jekyll and Hyding from dirt-eating goblin to glacial pop supernova Number 1 Angel. Revolution’s bass riff and obscure crowd samples build with a arpeggiated bass synth that swirls around the Hardcore beat, threatening a Bloody Fist-style production yet staying within a dub sound world, heavy delays fading out into the first Pop moment. Twizt introduces Lady Neptune’s vocal processing technique and an unashamed, massive trance synth riff that reeks of foam parties and festivals no one pays into. It falls into Number 1, which borrows from PC Music tropes for a breakneck treatise on self-confidence. It feels deceptively simple, but the music is so intuitive and perfectly executed – mostly honed by playing parties and raves around Glasgow, the drops tease and fall off, it’s just so relentless. Relentlessly, unstoppably, powerfully fun.

Sonic Light is one of 3 big moments on the E.P. Like all great pop music it tears you apart and puts you back together in its own image, it’s so immediate it makes you wonder why music can’t be louder, why can’t you listen to it twice at the same time. Just as you’re waiting for the next chorus it’s finished. Wait, is it only just one chorus for under 2 minutes? Perfect. The worst thing about this music is that it eviscerates you and then leaves you scattered, needing to go out and feel the darkness, feel the fresh hell course through ya and out again. Get 2 Know U is the sound of hell falling away, the final big moment, it’s Sandstorm or SOPHIE, pumped up and angelic, everyone isn’t a star, they’re an angel for someone, for themselves. Why can’t we – that’s every living thing - listen to this song infinity times at the same time, blowing up our consciousness so we merge with all infinity. Lady Neptune, it’s good to know you.

As Morganistic, Luke Slater only released a handful of cuts-but among those was the album Fluids Amniotic, still widely praised today as a benchmark techno long-player. Regularly featuring in the sets of Hood and Mills, Morganistic's dark, rumbling minimalism was, as the album title suggests, the sonic equivalent of being trapped in the murky, viscous fluids of some sinister alien womb.

Slater unearthed the original DAT and reel-to-reel tapes and got them remastered by Matt Colton at Metropolis. Fluids Amniotic will get re-issued both on vinyl and digitally for the first time in 25 years.

Technorama passes the torch to Finnish producer Samuli Kemppi who's built a solid back catalogue over the last 15 years and in
that time has also become a pioneer of electronic music in Helsinki. His radio show Deep Space Helsinki (Alongside Juho)
developed into one of the cities most popular club nights and also into his shared record label DSH. His debut on Technorama
records brings us 3 slices of dark & groovy techno, including remix from dutch maestro Tripeo aka Darko Esser. Enjoy!

There are some elements in electronic music that make them timeless, elements that if melted together they can give an impressive result, to the mind and to the body. Sawlin - Ursprung is the first album of the career of Sawlin, after his debut in 2010 he evolved like a wonderful orchid, an orchid that never followed the flow of the other flowers around him, but found his own way to the music. Ursprung is the result of an interminable evolution in the mind of the artist, 8 elements that complete a circle built on a very mysterious atmosphere, like a film that you never saw, but you always had in your head, something more bigger then a memory, and something more deep then a picture. This 8 elements are the blueprint of the work that comes from the background of the artist, Deep raw imaginary pictures, mixed with oldschool wallpapers of a new wall based on an old concrete. Sawlin Mix the new to the old in a way that no-one can do, and probably no-one risked to do. This is the power of an artist that needs more attention and more time, you can feel at the first listening that there is something really big going on, but you need time to understand what he wanted to create, meticulous details that he wanted to paint, in a way that we cannot see them at first, but we find them quite impressive after. Sawlin present himself in the most modern way he can, no compromises, he don't want to please you, he want to paint the future. in the most Artistic way possible.

WARNING: PLAYING FURIOUSLY AT LOUD VOLUMES WILL BRING FORTH THE DEMENTED

This very special Jannowitz Records release is brought to you by three of the hottest producers out there at the moment. Jannowitz label head BOHO teamed up with techno power duo Gaga & Mateo! to create what is probably the most pumping EP that the imprint has brought ot life in the last years.
„Kenzo“ EP consists – as usual – of two original tracks and two remixes. The title track being the classic Jannowitz Records style: melodic, minimal and full-on techno. With heavy-hitting kicks, slashing percussions and some minimalistic synth elements that prodive the track with the infamous space invader touch.
„Switch“ on the other hand is more progressive, one of the many other key styles of JAW. It’s a proper deep tech track with carefully located vocal elements and a synth-heavy break that will spiral you onto Mars.
But let’s move on to our fantastic remixers: The Reason Y and Drumcomplex are back! Two people who have accompanied the label over the past not only as artists but also as friends. The Reason Y’s remix of „Kenzo“ is a hypnotic masterpiece and offers exactly what you would expect of a regular on imprints like Second State and Terminal M.
When we received Drumcomplex’s remix, we were blown away by the creativity that our homie has put into creating this beast. His „Kenzo“ remix is straight forward, yet uplifting in a way. Listen for yourselves. We can promise one thing: You won’t regret it.
