Techno Vinyl New Releases - News

Breaking onto the scene with a new label and new music, the Belgian based Cri Du Coeur has released a powerful 3 track EP, comprised of an original mix and 2 guest remixes named Diaphragm.
Teasing what more is to come from both him and his label, Diaphragm (Original Mix) is an eerie and fast-paced techno beat, designed to leave you breathless as the manipulation of volume builds suspense as it minimises and maximises the elements. Accompanied by 2 other high-calibre versions, the Truncate remix brings the DJ's recognisable touch to the stand-out hi-hats and overall hefty vibe of the track, while Kaiser's take is a little more abstract from the original; bringing pure transformational and industrial grit to the forefront.

The year 2021 is a special year full of people looking into the future and anticipating the closer and further changes that are coming for many of us. Sincerely believing in positive changes and a return to
normalcy, we are leaving this difficult year 2020 which many of us will never forget.

Our message as the Unknown Timeline is an approximation and insight into a possible timeline that may occur somewhere in a parallel version of our own world. We believe that our home-world and this parallel universe can be linked through the music we present to you on a transparent vinyl record. An "interconnecting disk” between two timelines. As the title of the disk refers to a thing of the unpleasant past, we hope our brothers and sisters from parallel universe are safe and did not stuck in a dark 2020- loop, as the past would be the point at which time was eternity.

Everyhing is a concept until it become a real thing. Raroh - an Unknown Timeline member - created two sonic time breakers, that are able to break the boundaries between timelines of universes and go back and forth with the message. He sequentially joined with special forces of the Polish underground duo called OTHK who translated Raroh's vision into their own language pervading the wall of time. For the final contact with the parallel world, Nternal Bserver receive an answer and presented it a stable but sad and difficult situation from the other side of the time curtain.

Our struggle thus demands That when dying, one sings.The woman featured on the cover of this sixth Proletarijat release is the nurse Milja Marin. This was a household portrait in Partisan circles, called Kozarcanka - woman from Kozara. After the war, Milja said she had very little to smile about, nor did she want to carry a rifle. But she did it anyway. Our struggle thus demands, as the old Partisan song tells us. With this release, Sev Dah continues to celebrate those who dedicated their lives fighting fascism. Two old-school techno beasts as a nod to those who came before us, finishing with a futuristic space-traveller on the B-side as a reminder that the fight never ends.

Our next release, and now long-awaited, is a collaboration between IMOGEN and Ben Pest. This follows IMOGEN's earlier appearance on Earwiggle which was a highlight of the Eel Behaviour series. We're big fans of Ben Pest and are very pleased to have the pair debuting their first full release together on the label.

From the hyperactive opener "Volts", that effortlessly juggles raw analogue techno with UK hardcore and all manner of rude bass wobbles, they soon delve into further chaos through the squawks and clatters of broken industrial cut "Gramalkin". "Shibooty" is a perky take on Chi-town techno, upping the funk levels through bustling shuffled 909s, humming bass and cartoonish vocal sequences. With the brooding acid electro of "Misjudgement Day", IMOGEN and Ben pile on some extra modular drones for the road, finishing off the EP in killer fashion.

A.C.E.W. returns, seeing founder A Credible Eye Witness teaming up once again with long time partner Ghost Ride on the much anticipated "Voices From The Sun E.P.". This time, the Italian versatile duo will lead you into the depths of Space, where superior intelligences scrutinized Earth and slowly drew their plans against us. The 12” kicks off with “Light In The Darkness”, an horrific tale dealing with strange phenomenon in the sky. Related through some seriously intriguing melodies, bubbling bass and unstoppable electro beats, the cut will immerse you into a complex array of uncanny, scary atmospheres, in particular when a child coming from nowhere tells “Don’t Be Afraid, Come With Me”. The main thrust isn't so much about the rhythm, but more about the aerial tones that craftily fill the song with purpose and melody. Ace! Things start to get a bit serious with the title track "Voices From The Sun". Reptilian lyrics fused into a rather 4/4 tempo will invite you to leave the planet and take a sit into an unfriendly ship. No doubt the nightmarish sequences that characterize the cut will haunt and consume your mind for a while! On the flipside, future classic "Flash" gets even more frightening. Deranged melodies enhanced with acidic lines will distort your reality as if you were travelling through time and space at light speed; a kind of kinetic tele-transportation given possible by the profound pad arrangements deployed there... you’ll be quickly realize that you definitely left our Solar system for a no return trip to the unknown! Lastly, mysterious "Linear Dimension" will bring you right back into your sinister fate: your body will be used to feed the species that kidnapp you and that’s all the splot of the song. Focusing on relentless modular loops and synth swirls, the jam offers some warm acid roars with an intuitive sense of drama. "Voices From The Sun E.P." shows the strong musicality and versatility of the Roma based team, maintaining the subtle balance between dancefloor and home listening intends. Highly recommended release!

New DeepLabs Record release featuring a special collaboration by label founder Luke Hess & his brother Jeff Hess. This is the 10th Anniversary release on DeepLabs featuring full sleeve artwork by Haqq. Three functional and diverse Detroit Techno tracks with stripped down analog sounds reminiscent of the mid-90’s warehouse scene. Most High – A stripped down moody analog detroit techno track created for the DJ to build up the dancefloor at the beginning of the night. A soundscape engineered to lift hands up to the creator of the universe. Twelve Gates – A modular synthesizer workout made for the peak time late night techno DJ. Twelve layers of analog modular synthesis to reflect the Revelation discription of the twelve gates of the new holy city that is prepared for us in Heaven! Dwelling Place – An acidic and melodic Detroit anthem made for extended DJ sets that continue into the sunrise. No tears, no pain – only joy, peace, love, and purpose awaits us for eternity in our final dwelling place.

With the Winter months well and truly established, the skies of Madrid have turned from eggshell blue to metallic grey. Frigio reflects this change in the seasons with its latest release, the glazed reductions and retrospections of Principia Audiomatica. The Croatian outfit were founded in 1995 by Siniša Ocuršcak and Miljenko Rajakovic, their musical partnership ending with the untimely death of Ocuršcak. In 2010 Rajakovic restarted the project with renewed zeal and 2 tracks at A side feature Bernarda Barlović. The style pursued for this seven track 12” lies between industrially tinted electro and blackened wave. Cold and brutal in one breath, warm and yearning in the next, the EP draws on a spread of influences to create texture and tone. A gulf of sounds is explored: from ghosting samples, looming lines and incising snares to dreamy and understated atmospherics. The flip is remix focused. Taken from the 2017 album of the same name, “Distorted Information” is the source material with the Hal9000 computer being a common component of all three interpretations. Snippets from the Kubrik’s film orbit, from the brooding remake by Asprin for Oslo and the staggered steps of Alert Command to the glitched funk care of Red Sector A. Dark electronics for questionable times.

Cosmic techno made between 1994 - 1997 by Quiet Men, an old alias of Italian techno duo, retina.it. Mastered by Neel and on vinyl for the first time.

I am very happy to welcome Alex Stein on Terminal M. I was a big fan of his older tracks, so it is great to present him now on my label. He delivered 4 great melodic techno tracks in his unique style and they already caused a lot of big moments on the dancefloor when I played them. (Monika Kruse)

Vinyl catalogue of Kaiser's imprint is back with an excellent heavy Birmingham-era UK techno EP called "Mystery Of Emptiness", including Regis and Sleeparchive remixes.

Our latest release Caisa came to us as a demo by Patricio Chrigibonga from Ecuador, and it didn't take me very long see its potential. I said: „I think this is one of the biggest tracks I ever signed for Break New Soil!“ Everywhere I play it out, people come running to the booth asking what it is - so this time we believe we don't go too far by predicting: We might have a future classic here.

When we thought of who could remix this, Kevin De Vries' name came to my mind right away - and Kevin delivered once again with a spaced out, arpeggiated bigfloor version that still keeps the original in mind but adds Kevin's signature sound! We could not be happier with this release and hope you will love it as much as we do!

Originally released as part of Perc's 'Bitter Music' album in 2017 'Look What Your Love Has Done To Me' has gone from a vocal experiment to a certified festival classic and the biggest selling track in the history of the Perc Trax label. Featuring vocals from UK electronic artist Gazelle Twin the track has grown in support organically, allowing it time to take on a life of its own, receiving plays from an across the board selection of the world's biggest DJs whilst dominating festival sets in both 2017 and 2018.

Now two years after its initial release it returns remixed and ready to take on the summer of 2019. Taking on remix duties are Amelie Lens, one of the key original supporters of the track, I Hate Models, returning to Perc Trax immediately after his debut album dropped in June and Perc himself. Across the remixes I Hate Models warps and distorts the vocal over a drawn out industrial soundscape, Amelie Lens adds a melodic touch to the original's driving rhythm and Perc ramps up the energy and aggression, floating cuts of the original vocal over a hammering kick drum assault.

EP 3

The history of underground electronic music is littered with inspired releases that, for one reason or other, have slipped through the cracks. It would be fair to say that Trans4m’s 1992 debut album, Sublunar Oracles, is one such release.

Composed and produced by Antwerp-based brothers Stefan and Dimitri Van Elsen over a four-year period, the album was all but ignored on its initial release despite offering a glassy-eyed, spacey fusion of sample-heavy ambient house, electronic mysticism, saucer-eyed horizontal positivity and languid trip-hop style grooves.

For the Safe Trip edition, the in-demand album’s eight tracks have been lovingly re-mastered and stretched across two heavyweight slabs of wax.

Venus Ex Machina presents her debut album - Lux.
An eight-track LP due for release in Jan 2021.
Digital sanctuary, choral ambience, layered electronics, no in-put mixer scree, a requiem for an earth beset by environmental change.

Rising talent from Ukraine and part of the closer family in Kiev, Vladimir Gnatenko provides 3 tracks of spacey trance for AOP 005

Conversion aka Jorge Caiado takes a second imposing stride into the world of purposeful electro and techno. The three stepping workouts on the A use exemplary harmonies and sound design to convey a complex emotional tone, both ruminative and decisive. Flip things over and we are dropped straight into the middle of a peak-time floor, the driving energy of straight kick and bouncing bassline pushed ever further by swelling strings here or acid stabs there. It's a thrilling move, so come along for the ride. Early support from Fred P, Marco Zenker, Ciel and Anna Wall.

Etapp Kyle returns to Ostgut Ton with Nolove, a project encompassing a four-track EP, short film and forthcoming web exhibition focusing on Western Ukraine. Specifically, the music and artwork home in on the cities of Kamianets-Podilskyi and Chernivtsi in Bukovina, where Etapp Kyle grew up and developed his interest in electronic music. Although now part of Ukraine, Bukovina had previously been part of Moldova, the Habsburg Empire, the Russian Empire, Romania and the Soviet Union. Its turbulent history and position on the border of Romania and Moldova have resulted in an extremely varied tapestry of cultural influence, as featured in the video for title track “Nolove”. There, youth, fashion, music culture sit side-by-side next to religion, violence and war – and larger political struggles. The EP gives shape to the musical developments Etapp Kyle has made in both the studio and DJ booth since the release of 2017's Alpha, his latest 12" for Ostgut Ton. In contrast, Nolove's four tracks are minimalistic, detailed electronic ventures inspired by personal reflections on Chernivtsi and Ukrainian cultural identity. Forward-facing in rhythm and melody, the EP offers meticulously-produced leftfield dancefloor impressions of the region’s past, present and future.

Etapp Kyle kehrt mit Nolove zurück zu Ostgut Ton – und einem neuen Projekt, das eine vier- Track-EP, einen Kurzfilm und eine Online-Ausstellung mit Fokus auf die Westukraine umfasst. Genauer gesagt beziehen sich die Musik und das Artwork auf die Städte Kamjanez-Podilskyj und Czernowitz in der Bukowina, wo Etapp Kyle aufwuchs und sein Interesse an elektronischer Musik entwickelte. Während die Bukowina heute Teil der Ukraine ist, gehörte es vormals zum ehemaligen Fürstentum Moldau, der Habsburgermonarchie, dem russischen Kaiserreich, dem Königreich Rumänien und der Sovietunion. Jene turbulente Geschichte und geografische Lage an der Grenze von Rumänien und Moldawien führte zu einer extrem facettenreichen Geschichte an kulturellem Einfluss, wie der Kurzfilm zum Stück „Nolove“ zeigt. Jugend-, Mode- und Musikkultur existieren dort Seit’ an Seit’ mit Religion, Gewalt und Krieg – als auch größeren politischen Anstrengungen. Diese EP zeigt die musikalische und künstlerische Entwicklung von Etapp Kyle, die er im Studio und in der DJ-Booth seit Veröffentlichung seiner letzten 12” EP Alpha (Ostgut Ton, 2017) gemacht hat. Die vier Stücke auf Nolove sind minimalistische, detailreiche elektronische Explorationen inspiriert von persönlichen Erinnerungen an Czernowitz und der kulturellen Identität der Ukraine. Vorwärtsdenkend in Rhythmus und Melodie finden sich auf der EP sorgfältig ausproduzierte Dancefloorminiaturen regionaler Vergangenheit, Gegenwart und Zukunft.

We have the honour to welcome the Portugal based Norbak.

In close relation to its title "Modus Operandi". You can recognize Norbak's typical sound. Norbak, who started releasing music only little over a year ago, hasn't stopped since.

Norbak drops his EP, Modus Operandi on Eternal Friction Records, containing two originals (of which one is a digital download) and three remixes by no other artists than Stanislav Tolkachev, Svarog and Pursent.

Modus Operandi I is a carefully assembled loop, topped off with hisses and rattles, which sounds simple but is actually executed very effectively. Modus Operandi II is in that exact same style, where every sound serves its purpose. Svarog's remix making this EP nothing other than a perfect trip. That, in combination with the more aggressive remixes by Stanislav Tolkachev and Pursent, make this a truly versatile EP.

Penny Loafer comes as a strong combination of a striking bassline and harmonies, typical for Roland Appels idea of soulfull techno. Gonzo goes with the hunting bells and a shuffeling beat into a darker direction. The RMX transforms Gonzo into a techno monster, but let´s better say into a Recondite monster.

After the success of the 2 Late 4 Love EP, Roy Of The Ravers returns to Emotional Response with a double LP with a deeper perspective, experimenting in ambient and drone textures, lucid techno travails and acid interludes.

Recorded between 1997 and 2017, the album was pieced together over the last six months after Roy's archives were first feared lost and then found. Approached by the label to release a follow up with something more introspective and personal, it was discovered that a recent move to a new studio had led to over 20 years of music being misplaced after it was believed they were mistakenly dropped at a local charity store. However, deep in a box of what were thought to be patch cables were in fact the decades worth of hard drives and here presented, is a sample of those lost recordings.

The nature of the music is introspection, eschewing the acid beats and white noise for a personal encounter between man and machine. The orchestral opening of the title track gives way to the submarine beats, pulsing TB303 and gliding hats of Robinson College 10 to set the outlook to come. Even with the scattering A Dim And Distant Past waking lulled senses, the melodies and feel all lead to a pause and reflect rather than jump and shout.

This is continued with the haunting drives of Bounce Erec and Oriental X0X-Press; the twisted, warped jams of The Weber Traum Boat Pt.3, Ichi and Roland Corp Labs 05; and the beautiful, heartfelt odes in Sade Lost Theme, The Clock House Pt.2 and closer, Nemesis '01. The album's melodic nature hums and shines as CS (6x8) appears as much a centre piece as a alternative consideration to the acid tinged, club bangs of Roy's releases to date.
A surprise package maybe, but in the rolling, word of mouth phenomena that was Emotinium II, all this and more was sensed and so White Sunrise Music II, spreading across 12 songs of contrasting moods, is a further affirmation that there is something good and worthy of exploration.

100 copies only with Side A sounding like Aphex's Caustic Window project whilst the flip keeps the tempo's but goes for a more early Detroit sound.

After 6 cassettes Tapes Sublimating is back with their first vinyl EP: 'Venus' by Altered Natives. After releasing his excellent 8th album last year Danny still hasn't run out of ideas. Four tracks telling four stories in different scenes with the whole thing tied together by the tale-teller's trademark sounds and atmosphere with contribution from Budapest's AIWA on the closing track.
Opener 'Venus' is a journey itself. Taking you deeper and deeper to a menacing dungeon second by second. It is dark there. You get lost and unsure what is going to happen. Panic kicks in and you feel something is coming when suddenly... Catharsis. After a while you can open your eyes and get back on your feet. 'Acid Reign' is the most earthly of the four scenes. Everything seems clear for a minute, but then it slowly takes you away, losing your head again. Next scene: leaving the planet, outside the Earth orbit. 'Protohype' is floating in space. It is beautiful up there, but also scary and haunting. Finally AIWA takes you a few lightyears away, when everything becomes blurry and even less familiar. Silence. You only hear your heartbeat, when suddenly the drama continues. Be careful, no escaping this.

Banke returns to Token.

The Danish producer debuted on the label in 2018 with Totem - an EP of detailed, low-slung productions that highlighted the artist's keen ear for moody, undulating sequences & slick production techniques.

On his return, Banke ups the ante - increasing the tempo moderately and where previous work focused on inviting dance-floor hypnosis, Facelift makes classy peak time propulsion the order of the day.

The work maintains many of the sonic motifs associated with the Dane's production: firm, buoyant low end drives the music, working neatly in tandem with reduced percussive accents and more exposed, crystalline sequences that lift the recordings and offer new, expressive tones to the producer's growing discography.

In many ways lead track Facelift does what it says on the tin, and offers up the most intense experience on the EP. In equal parts as dense and moody as it is exhilarating and uplifting, the track is a fine example of how careful use of limited sonic components can generate extraordinarily affecting results in the right hands.

B1 Yellower continues to channel the feverish energy of the A side, making the most of a driven lead sequence that sits front and centre in the mix. A stylish piece of engineering that bridges the record with some style, offering an alternative but equally effective approach to the EP theme.

Closer Lark indulges in a similar energy, albeit tentatively more heads-down in its articulation - carefully constructed with particular attention paid to the groove and arranged exquisitely to generate a latent frenzy over its run-time.

UFO Inc. starts the new decade with fast, dark improv-techno tracks by the New York DJ, producer and singer Heidi Sabertooth. The four tracks on UFO4 are an impressive testimony to her passion for vintage gear and are the result of an interplay of mainly three machines with which she also plays live: Roland SH-101, Korg ESX2 Electribe and Yamaha DX200 - Sabertooth knows her tools inside and out by heart and tried on this EP to sound as "live" and spontaneous as possible. She plays her machines like instruments and want them to have some life and breath in them because she grew up playing all kinds of wind and string instruments and played in bands many years before she became a DJ. Her approach to making tracks is to capture as much live experimentation and weirdness as possible, while still making something that grooves and kicks on the dancefloor. She is not so concerned about making things perfect, in fact sometimes she intentionally try to disrupt things if it starts sounding too polished or square: ,,I like things to be human. I think you can feel it in the recording when the hands are touching the machine - it is human/machine/spirit connection.?This is why I named the EP as such - With The Void - this is how I like to create: jump into outerspace, into the unknown, with my machines and we all have an experience together - a cosmic electric dance - and that's when I hit the record button." On UFO4 you can definitely hear the fun she and her machines had in the recording process.

Detroit's John Beltran under his alias "Indio" was released on CD back in 1999 on Derrick May's Transmat label. We are very pleased to present you this fantastic album which have been remastered and will now be available for the first time on vinyl. A timeless journey of warm Detroit vibes from the start to the end...

When you listen to an Industrialyzer track, it doesn’t take long to figure out where his name comes from. These are soundscapes that instantly transport you someplace else, built for cavernous warehouses where regular rules don’t apply. The Portugal-born, Amsterdam-based producer born Ricardo Rodrigues maintains his consistent form on the Moonstone EP with four slamming tracks made for these very conditions.
The title track Moonstone beats you into oblivion with a relentless kick, distorted vocals relaying an urgent directive – “let’s get high” – and scuzzy, whipping synths. On Kontrol peals of synth cut through a thick mist of white noise and the ever-present kick, while one word, stuck on repeat, suggests the best kind of loss of “control”. Daily Nova is a more vibrant track, with housey chords laid over a pulsing beat to create a feeling of delicious unease. And on Psychic Overlays, Rodrigues wades back into darker waters in a pummelling peak time cut and assault on the senses. These are four pumping tracks perfect for sweaty techno bunkers.

Acid techno electro, 4 space bangers offering a smooth dancefloor deepness...

Finally, Regis lets his rhythmic noise opus out into the world, a bruising and hauntingly absorbing album - his first since 2001 - dispatched on his pivotal label; Downwards.
On a masterful twenty-year followup to ‘Penetration’, Karl O’Connor yields a definitive solo LP that distills his passions for sonic brutalism and bastardised Chicago tracks with syncopated UK swagger and reverberating warehouse ballistics. Its lip-bitingly gripping effect is testament to a resounding reputation as one of Industrial music’s most influential producers, and sees the artist bring his own influences - from Test Department to Jeff Mills - into line with his potent palette of narcotised tones.
Recorded in Berlin with Einstürzende Neubauten’s producer/engineer Boris Wilsdorf, the album’s supple, spartan, and rhythmic gymnastics notably benefit from acres of icy room to roll around and lash out. Snagged around muscular bassline revs, and caressed with keys and vocals by postpunk catalyst Annie Hogan (whose recent turn for Downwards was a total revelation), the 9 tracks
portray Regis at his leanest and most mesmerising, which is all the more impressive coming from an artist who’s deliberately held his line through club music’s mutations for more than 30 years.
Between the razor-sharp electro of ‘Everything is Ahead of Us’, and the pure voodoo of ‘Calling Down A Curse’, he sharply carves a uniquely UK and shark-eyed style that lets on to influence from tech-step D&B and dark garage rolige as much as Test Department’s seminal ‘Beating The Retreat’ or 23 Skidoo and ‘Crackdown’-era Cabaret Voltaire.
Highlights such as the swingeing 11 minutes of swordplay drums and bubbling acid in ‘The Sun Rose Pure’, and the straightjacketed funk of ‘I See Fire’ epitomise the rudeness at play, and together with the viscerally personalised sound design virtues of ‘Another Kind of Love’, the immaculate noirish vignette ‘Alone of All Her Sex’, and the lush tristesse evoked by ‘Eros in Tangiers’, this album effectively defines Regis as peerless in his field, and is essential to fans of the artist’s solo classics and with British Murder Boys, Sandwell District, Ugandan Speed Trials and CUB.
