You cannot swim for new horizons until you have the courage to lose sight of the shore. I Hate Models is back on the label with ARTS040. 3 Years after the big storm that took this artist everywhere in the world, he is here in his home with a record that goes back into his unique way to paint contrast of emotions. "Intergalactic Emotional Breakdown" is a well-crafted work based on 3 cuts that reflect his personal vision of music and one more time confirms why we love this artist so much.

Comes with special front sticker.

The first Lux Rec release after summer is a split EP that puts together two musicians from different regions, different backgrounds.

On the A-side there's an old acquaintance of the label, Kinder aus Asbest, with Life after Death and Washed Away. As hopeless as it gets.

On the B-side there's Rosa Nebel, and upcoming artist from Austria that matches perfectly, with his dystopian views on society, the core dissatisfaction for humankind that Lux Rec has.

For those who have been following Laurent Garnier for a long time, know how multipurpose this artist is, how his status as "best DJ in the world" is only a shortcut used by default. It should be recognised that this man is gifted with an extraordinary sense of combat, and that he has been fighting for many years to impose good music on the public. Laurent Garnier has always refused chapels and privileged actions; he does not support repetition, even less compromises, and certainly no downtime.

Banoffee Pies Records begin their newest venture with a nod to the past. Introducing the latest Re-issue series focusing on old and lost gems. All five tracks originally produced in 1991-1994. Paradise 3001 aka Dr Nunu kicks things off with "Low Sun Archives". A deep dive into a small section of his outstanding back catalog which flaunts many layers of adventurous and floor ready music across Trance, Techno, Ambient, Dub and DownTempo.

The release starts with "Several Huge Yellow Snaplike Somethings" - A forgotten beach trance titan with instant teleportation to another time, neatly followed by the mesmerising sunset plod of "Low Sun In Dub" riding slow at 94 bpm. Keeping steady, the B side opens with the heavy drums and spaced pads of "Inner Rhythm (Bio Sensitive Mix)". The second injection of speed comes from the tribal percussion and heavy swirling sounds of "Beautification Bang Bang Bang (Daktari Mix)". The release then falls to a calming close with "Gates Of Eden". Waving you off the shore into the night. For all the moods. Love BPR x

The fifth release on VOITAX takes you on a journey into a field of distorted beats, rhythmic noise sounds and industrial and ambient influenced elements. Fasten the belt.

The continued rise of Alan Fitzpatrick is the biggest story in UK techno right now. Having enjoyed a rapid ascent since his emergence as the new kid on the techno block in the latter half of 2009, Fitzpatrick now enjoys a status as a highly respected and in-demand producer. By releasing his debut album for Adam Beyer's globally renowned Drumcode label, Alan became the first act to record an album on Drumcode since 2005. The well-received 'Shadows In The Dark' long-player marked the culmination of a run of productions that saw Fitzpatrick publically name-checked as a one of the most exciting producers in techno by Adam Beyer, Dubfire, Carl Cox, John Digweed and Len Faki and being awarded a BBC Radio 1 Essential New Tune for his anthemic Reflections single on Bedrock. 2011 will see Alan evolve an already impressive production CV via collaborations with Adam Beyer, Cari Lekebusch and Joseph Capriati as well as remixes of Mark Broom, Funk D'Void and Alex Bau.

It has been Alan's partnership with Adam Beyer's Drumcode label that has produced his most significant work to date; releasing three chart topping EP's (Static, Face Of Rejection, Insurgent Series) on the label in addition to his 'Shadows In The Dark' LP and being one of a select handful of producers invited to remix Beyer's classic Remainings III. Elsewhere, Fitzpatrick's studio services have been recruited by the likes of John Digweed & Nick Muir, Slam, Joey Beltram, John Digweed, Dustin Zahn & Joel Mull and Pascal Mollin. Indeed, such has been Fitzpatrick's dominance of the techno scene in the last eighteen months that his productions have regularly filled the top positions of Beatport's techno Top 100 chart at the same time.

The same unstoppable momentum has come to characterize Alan's style of techno; powering demand for his music worldwide, and filling his gig diary with weekends spent touring all over Europe as he completes the transition from being a highly regarded newcomer to a bonafide member of techno's producer vanguard. Focusing on his trademark sound of tough, hooky grooves and incendiary beats, An intuitive and dynamic exponent with Native Instrument's Traktor software, his big-room techno sound has seen him draw crowds in Germany (Berghain, Cocoon, U60311, Maria Ostbahnof), France (Rex, Inox, Le 25, S'Kandalo) The Netherlands (Awakenings, Paradiso, Catwalk, Doornroosje, Poema), UK (Fabric, The Arches) Italy (Old River Park, Rasmonan), Switzerland (La Zoo, D-Club, Das Schiff) and Eastern Europe (Kiwi Lithuania, Forsage Ukraine) plus key festivals like Kazantip Ukraine, Streetparade Zurich, SW4 London, Boom Portugal and Sziget Hungary.

Already well passed the landmark of 25 releases, Alan Fitzpatrick's 8 Sided Dice Recordings label keeps on pushing forward as one of the most exciting new techno labels to emerge in recent times. Established as both an attractive home to high profile artists and a outlet for emerging talent the labels output continues to strike a balance between original tracks and remixes from Alan himself, as well as featuring productions from Cari Lekebusch, Slam, Heiko Laux, Gene Le Fosse, Dustin Zahn, Sasha Caressi, Harvey McKay, Nicole Moudaber, Rich Jones, and Chris Colburn.

Intense minimalist industrial acid tekno mantra beats by Albert van Abbe as Datasmok. A 'mini-concept-album' full heavy-hitting, brutal mean-and-lean, 'dirty-brown-and-miserable' psychotic visions. The Datasmok project was kickstarted by default when Guy Tavares and Albert decided to release archived tracks from Van Abbe on Tavares' Bunker Records. All tracks of this second volume of back-catalog material got special treatment in Tavares' subterranean master studio...

Next up on Footwork is “The Last Raver EP” by our label head honcho Jay Lumen.

Massive roller “Frontline” has an outstanding saw synth which makes it an ultimate choice for any peak-time DJ set. “The Last Raver” transfers into Leftfield techno with smashing breaks and a fat sub bassline presenting a regenerated classic 90’s sound. All in all another EP of uplifting energy that you can’t miss out on!

Vernacular is all about loyalty and machines. The cycles of influences and ideals converge to a specific creative bulk. And so from Whole emerges Few, interlinking, telling its story.Stories that are all about dance and dreams need a common core. Vernacular Collective Sequence inks these and spreads them into the wastelands of club-music enthusiasm.

Newrhythmic Records presents a new Various Artist on vinyl that gathers the talent of great producers in an impressive moment and brings it together in four purely Techno cuts that combine energetic patterns with hypnotic atmospheres.

Alexander Kowalski opens the EP under his alias "Disx3", with which he distills "Phobos", the sharpest track on the album. A poisoned pattern takes over the theme while saturated percussion turns it into a hurricane.

Joton signs the second song "Flashing Darkness". The Newrhythmic capo gives us a good dose of low frequencies combining power and melancholy with a hypnotic synthesizer that splashes the track cyclically.

On side B we find the synthetic dissonances of "E - Mission" at the hands of Kike Pravda. The figure that draws the melody of this theme induces the listener's mind to a state of physical hypnosis.

To conclude this incredible work comes "Amplitude" by the Portuguese Moddullar. The futuristic atmosphere that is created
Around the metallic but watery sound of the synthesizer is brilliant and puts the finishing touch on this record. “

2LP Repress

Written and produced in a country house surrounded only by vast, empty landscapes and an endless sky,
‘Suicide Disco’ is the fruit of a 3-year long collaboration and Years of Denial’s debut LP for Veyl.
Urged to escape from crowded cities and information overload, the duo sharpened their sound and working
process through isolation and introspection, crafting 11 songs filled to brim with enormous hooks, New
Wave nostalgia and razor-sharp production details.
Barkosina’s voice echoes and oscillates against Jerome’s snares, profound and wounded at once. Her
expressionist narrative take us to unknown yet familiar places, amplified by dub delays and otherworldly
reverbs. Each track tells a story based on the intensity of relationships, a touching and distorted invitation
into intimacy and complicity

LIMITED single-sided peer-to-peer Techno voyage from spheric to
looped shuffle-groove-realms that could have originated from the years
2039 or 1999 in unison PLUS 2 all-pervasive infinity experiments !

This 5th release consists of three tracks made by the twin duo Manic Brothers, one edited by Petter B. They have during their relativity short career proven themselves as worthy keepers of the Swedish techno heritage with big releases on Drumcode a.o. What they bring to Bond on this release is their signature big room sound but with a much more simplified approach than previously heard. On the a-side there are two great tool tracks with lots of space for creative interpretation for a DJ. On the flip there are a long and epic track with a massive vocal breakdown. Groove based but yet with a big and strong hook.

The label Bond is the brainchild of Swedish techno DJ and producer Petter B. The concept of the label is 'music by DJs for DJs'. The label focuses on releasing tracks that enable the DJ, rather than the producer, to be creative. It is based on that special bond which is created every time a DJ combines tracks, loops and sounds live into something new and unique.

The ep starts with an emotional track from Aleqs Notal , a tribute to Mike Huckaby . It is a deep house filled with percussions, deep pads, and some subtle acid stabs. On the same Side Meftah , a newcomer from Detroit provides here a deep jazzy funky and broken jam with Fender Rhodes, MPC beats and analogue synths that is absolutely dope. On the B side Taelue , one of the Chicago fine producers is delivering a killer piece of moody Chicago house aimed to the dancefloor, a killer jam with pads and round funky bass line that will make people dance as soon as we can get back clubbing. Finally, Afrikan Sciences is rounding up the ep with an amazing deep funk bass piece of music that only him knows how to make.

After releases on Valentino Mora's IDO Records, Delsin's Mantis series and Don't DJ's DISK, Konduku returns to Nous'klaer Audio with a four-tracker on the K-series. Further refining his signature polyrhythms of bleeps and percussion, this time accompanied by a few blankets of blissful melodies. Music and photography by Ruben Uvez. Mastered by Neel.

Here we are Guys, with another great release.
Also this time we have the pleasure to add a new member to our galactic family.
We’re talking about Pacific Jams, an Italian duo composed by Mennie and Zee, that started this new path with this amazing EP.

You can find different musical timbres in each track.
A cosmic journey you cannot miss.

SUMMA CUM LAUDE is ready for the next installment, this time is a rave boy from Italy SOUR.

'The Final Sickness', originally released in 1993, is another The Mover masterpiece and its ten tracks transmit a crunchy thick and cold tone. Edging to a rather industrial side of the techno spectrum, the PCP-spirit is carried throughout the release. Every piece plunges to the bottom of darkest depths without remorse, leaving no space for the mild-mannered music lover. An eerie blend of hefty, yet intellectual 909 beats and chewy analog synths unite this collection of gems. Haunting sequences, spooky effects and tough drums create an extraordinary venture for your deepest senses! If you've been into productions by the Mover and Planet Core Productions, you may just experience the pinnacle of his intensity with The Final Sickness. It can't get more PCP than that!

With The Sound of Graz, the springfestival graz made it possible for local talents to fulfill the dream of their own vinyl record. Styrian artists could submit their club tracks in a competition. An expert jury consisting of the Elevate Festival, FAZEmag, Radio FM4, Radio Soundportal and GROOVE magazine, chaired by initiator Thomas Mussbacher, decided who would be featured on the album. Of a total of around 80 entries, twelve made it onto the album. In October the records were released in a limited edition of 1.000 copies. The proceeds go to the Styrian Children's Cancer Aid.

when I was selecting tracks for my essential mix Clint send me his newest productions. I immediatly felt in love with the tracks and included one in my mix and sign the two tracks for terminal m. I am also superhappy about the great remix of timmo which gives the track a special soulful techno feeling! (Monika Kruse)

I love their unique style, rolling grooves, warm melodies and they are always funky. Another 4 track ep with Drunken Kong tracks for every occasion! (Monika Kruse)

New DeepLabs Records release by label founder Luke Hess. Three functional and diverse Detroit Techno tracks with stripped down analog sounds reminiscent of the mid-90’s warehouse scene. Breakers combines a noisy Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 and Roland RE-201 Space Echo Tape Delay groove, TR-909 drum work, and a TB- 303 acid line to take listeners on a lush adventure in sound. This track is meant for the storyteller DJ. Jonah 2:5 – “The waters closed in over me to take my life; the deep surrounded me.“ Know that God is always near, even when life is overwhelming and things seem impossible. God will never leave you or forsake you. Depths was written using a Roland SH-101, Dave Smith Prophet 6, Vermona Retroverb, Roland RE-201 Space Echo Tape Delay, with TR- 909 & Acid Labs Miami drum work. This track is diverse, it adds life to the dance floor, and takes the listener on a journey through the depths of unexplored Detroit territories. Jonah 2:3 – “For you cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and flood surrounded me.“ We can run from God, but He is always there. He is waiting to set us free and give us true life and peace. Submission is a bass heavy, melodic, & sci-fi electro cut, laced with analog arpeggios, field recordings of fireworks snapping across the sky, and Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 leads for a completely immersive aural experience. This track is intended to break up the monotony on the dance floor and force the listener to submit to the sound system. Jonah 3:10 – “When God saw what they did and how they turned from their evil ways, God relented and did not bring on them the destruction he had threatened.“ God’s intention is to have a deep relationship with us; He is waiting for us to turn to Him and allow Him to lead us.

On the back of their critically acclaimed 'Oblivion' EP, from which 'Sensation' was named one of the techno tracks of 2016 by Mixmag, Monika Kruse rejoins her brothers-from-another-mother Pig&Dan for another electrifying two-track EP.

Both tracks - 'Get Me On' and 'So Good' featured in her celebrated debut Essential Mix that aired on April 1 and have highlighted the iconic techno artist's sets over the past month, everywhere from Time Warp to her wildly popular b2b with Andrea Oliva at Boiler Room Madrid in March.

Produced during an inspired couple of days in Mallorca with Pig&Dan in January, both records are explosive techno weapons built for the peaktime and propelled by a stunning warehouse stomp. 'Get Me On' is a driving affair from the outset, powered by a compelling mainroom groove that's gradually immersed in exhilarating cyclone swirls of melody. 'So Good' is as delectable as its name, characterized by a roaring buildup that's drawn out dramatically for much of its 8-minute running time, working in tandem with several carefully deployed breakdowns. Both records are destined to leave a devastating impact at festivals over the summer.

I am happy to welcome these two new great producers Matt Sassari and Patrick Berg on board at Terminal M! Get some funky bassy acid techno groovers (Monika Kruse).

An immediate follow up to their debut LP Center Parcs, the new EP pays fictional homage to a now deceased famous TV star, who instead on working on the screen, took up a new direction in making music. Once more replete with esoteric experimentalism, analogue jams, drums machines, synths, and a healthy dose of acid basslines, the production duo advance upon their aesthetic with a new extended EP of nostalgic, melancholic electro.

With Palmbomen II a.k.a. Kai Hugo, based out and working in Los Angeles, collaborations with Dutch-based partner Betonkust happen less frequently than they should - especially when you acknowledge that they do not use, or record to computers. When they do happen though, their distinctive sonic palette of saturated distortion, and warm melodic wavey house shines through. This time recorded in a bungle somewhere in the Dutch countryside, the two producers have created a concept record about Bart, a local hero and his imagined life in a parallel universe. In this reality, instead of making it in TV, Bart is a successful music producer, the track titles detailing his journey through this new and imagined life. 'Bart Is Alone Again' kicks off the record with its wistful melodies, and harmonic leads, before 'Underground Dance Floor' kicks in with its predominate bassline, and squelching deep-rooted, undercurrents of hardcore. Along Bart's odyssey there are moments for 'Bart's Jam', an early days Warp Records / Detroit belter; 'Rejected Demo Tape' a downbeat moment of anguish; ending with 'A Series of Bad Decisions,' in which the EP plays out to somber, yet harmonious conclusion.

Black Brook Limited BBLV010 comes along with analog underground techno from Lisbon's
man of the hour Cardao. The Portuguese produces techno in his distinctive unique style. It has
a lot of bass in it and slightly funking signals guide you the way into deep hypnotic tunnels. In
parts of the track Nemesis you feel the dominance of the raw sewing hihats driving you even
further. By the way each track keeps the groove which is so often missed these days. Thumbs up!

The wide-spread admiration for Uijui’s production chops has been imminent for several years now, only stalled by the instant gratification of endless night outs, snooker and one or two shattered computer hard disks. He’s been crafting discreet and thoughtful, yet effective midnight sun house and heartfelt techno over the years concluding in a 3-track EP for Cold Blow.

Nothing But Nice Records, based between London and Berlin, is a label founded by long-standing friends, James Andrew and Charley. The label comes as an extension of their friendship, channelling their favourite sounds of years late, drawings inspiration from breaks, electro, garage, and tech house to release music with a fresh and playful edge.

The label’s first venture comes in the form of James Andrew’s ‘Thinking Backwards EP’, a four-track genre-spanning release. Rolling basslines, crisp highs, floaty synths, and acid leads define the records sound, creating four spacey dancefloor ready tracks.

First release on the freshly launched label Anomalies comes from one of its co-founders Ramon Babot aka La Màquina Corrupta. Lead track “Dilluns Blau” – which stands for Blue Monday in Catalan – is a techno track not specifically built for the dancefloor but that can also work on it. A rather moody pad appearing at mid-length of the track reminds us that our serotonin will not last forever and that Monday might come soon. Second track “Gent de Poble”, which means “Village People”, features a relentless bassline that can be as intense as some of those people who live in a small town. On the B side, “Concepte Innecessari” provides the perfect soundtrack for self-introspection in the form of a not so conventional groove. The last track on this EP is “Consells de Mare”, a beautiful electronic lullaby that your mother would sing for you if she were a synthesizer.

Griffé is back with a new uncompromising release. For this second EP, the Corsican born P.O presents his very first (almost) solo record. Eminent member of the duo Solär Sound System with Jimmy Batt (who comes to lend him a hand on the powerful A2 track "Reveille toi").

For this release, P.O offers 5 tracks oscillating between several styles, flirting with EBM, break, techno and many others. There are tracks designed for the dancefloor as well as the UFO "I Don't Feel Anything" which comes as a breath between the other tracks. The whole is linked by a dark and powerful atmosphere, common between each track and which will give the title of the EP, aptly named "Dark Phase Cylcle EP".

A regular participant and core member of the CV family since
the very beginning, it was only a matter of time before Simon
Mann would unveil his first solitary vinyl release. Previously,
his appearances on CV’s introductory VA – CVR VI, the
stunning eight-track digital release titled the ‘Shadow Ranger
E.P.’, and performances representing the label both live and
DJing, have allowed Controlled Violence to decipher Simon’s
modus operandi, his artistic milieu, and his sound. Beneath
The Canopy is, however, Simon’s most synoptic work to date,
dancing between labyrinthine environs (natural or
otherworldly), heart-felt progressions, and playful percussion.
From start to finish, the organic elements of Simon Mann’s
artworks present themselves with a sense of wonderment.
The mind begins to lose itself between the defined sounds of
electronic devices, and those derived from reality. Beneath The
Canopy doesn't seek to confuse, but rather define, and
subsequently present the concepts of unity. It summarises the
duality between analogue and digital that occurs in our world,
proving that Simon Mann is both an elite musician, and a being
who is truly sync with the world around him.

It's the idea of capturing a moment on vinyl that created the first release of "henk". After countless hours of twitching the knobs on their machines the DJ's and producers Stikdorn and MK Braun created a string of tracks that will now see the light of day on their collaborative label.
