Techno Vinyl New Releases - News

The great YPY on the mighty Black Smoker records! Remixes from Compuma (Em Records) and Lena Willikens. BIG!

First pressing on solid red marbled vinyl. Han Frissen is well known amongst the techno faithful. Under his Doka moniker he has carved stark sculptures and moulded absorbing soundscapes. His Konstrukt label has been a proven fertile ground, not only for Frissen but also for a spread of upcoming and established talent. Arriving on Deep Sound Channel the dutchman is ready to premiere a new alias, Yugen. Forged in the warm rhythmic patterns of his previous creations, the Nijmegen musician folds new textures and tones into his compositions. From the intimidating industrial vision of "Response," Yugen amplifies abandonment in the reduced rendition that is "Notch." The flip brightens with the gentle movements and subtle ebbs of "16916" before the organic flows and angular builds of "Inward."

ALPI releases his first vinyl EP on Planet Rhythm in his distinct deep style. Five subaquatic cuts that will take you on a introverted trip. Includes a collaboration with fellow "deep sea diver" Wrong Assessment and remixes by Alfredo Mazzilli and Edit Select who submerges "Chant" even further. B3 is a vinyl exclusive version of "Chant".

Remastered Reissue eines weiteren Klassikers aus Warp's legendärer 1990'er "Artificial Intelligence"-Serie: der UK Techno-Klassiker "Electro-Soma" (1993) von B12. Parallel erscheint "Electro-Soma II", eine Kollektion ultrararer Tracks diverser früher B12-Maxis, erschienen unter mysteriösen Pseudonymen wie Musicology, Redcell und Cmetric, ebenfalls remastered. 2CD im Digipak mit 32-seitigem Booklet mit ausführlichen Sleevenotes, Archivfotos und Memorabilia. 2LP "Electro-Soma" mit Poster & Download-Code im Gatefold.

This is the 15th release on RIOT Radio Records, an independent techno label based in Scotland.

Ben Pest is a producer, DJ and performer that’s established grandiose notoriety as an exponent of jacking live hardware-based techno. He’s a complete machine head that compulsively writes music, all the time, he’s literally obsessed with it. Any lengthy gap in time from not making anything leads him to thoughts of murder his need is so strong ……………………

This 12” has three cranking original tracks and two absolute club stomping remixes from Jerome Hill and Michael Forshaw. It’s a wonk meets acid meets punishment brawl of the highest order.

WARNING: INTENSE VOICES OF DISSENT ARE INEVITABLE ONCE THE SCOURGE IS UNLEASHED

This third release of Black Lotus on Florian Meindl's FLASH Recordings enqueues in her reflection on space and physics and hypnotizes the listener in her usual kind.

According to ancient and medieval science, Aether is the material that fills the region of the universe above the terrestrial sphere.
In mythology it is seen as the personification of the heaven - the soul of the world and element of all life. An undetectable substance.
The invisible material thought to permeate all the empty space in the universe. The pure air that the gods breathe in the heavens.

Kicking off with the opening theme, with its wild synth hook and sweeping ride, ÔAetherÕ induces a solid trip on the dancefloor.

The second track explores deeper territories with its dynamic cymbals, spacey 303 textures and monotonous dark mood.

Distant Signal is a supernatural story about incessant galactic bleeps, accompanied by heavy kicks and a highly energetic percussion.

Safe trip!

Hooversound Recordings presents HOO02 from none other than UK producer Deft, as he delivers four high tempo dance floor ready tracks that fit perfectly into any club set.

From old school Jungle soundscapes to gritty 160 UK Bass, Deft is no stranger to exploring the different styles and BPMs of dance music. With HOO02, we see the talented producer explore the high energy realm of 160 as the ‘Burna’ EP merges together elements of jungle, techno, footwork, and grime making it the perfect hybrid to showcase the versatility of UK dance music in 2020.

Having produced music for over 9 years, Deft who has had support from Maya Jane Coles, Gilles Peterson and Mary Anne Hobbs adds his recognisable and intricate style of music production on the ‘Burna’ EP and merges genres effortlessly

After starting out with EP's showcasing tracks by various artists, Invite's Choice is back with a 3 track EP by Drafted.

The EP is opened by Detached with it's dominating, repeating tom/percussive low-end sound. The frequential spectrum is filled up by other percussive elements and reverb-filled effects, which give the track a spacious feel. Oxidian starts out in your face with it's droning and repetitive synth. The track evolves into an abstract apogee with intense synthesis before it breaks down again, allowing for a smooth mix to be made. Sphere closes down this 3-track EP on the B-side and does so with lot's of fast changing hi-hat and ride patterns and one sharp sounding synthesizer, which makes it a perfect B-side closing track. Once again a great showcase of sustainable modern day electronic music by Invite's Choice!

Visitors - Projections is the first collaboration between veteran dj producer Tony Scott & Italys Antonio Ruscito .

Projections is a wonderful piece of work where the structures and melodies of the tracks combine perfectly with haunting atmospheres , weaving analog lines & attention to detail that makes for a very unique soundtrack.
A welcome return for Edit Select & a new star is born in Antonio Ruscito , a must for all techno heads ..

Hailing from New Jersey now based in Boston, Jillian Hoenig aka Expletive debuted last year on Brooklyn's FIRM Tracks label. Originally a "bedroom musician", Jill has infiltrated the Boston scene with very fast, often melodic, chiptune inspired dance music performed live. For this release she focuses on the prettier, dreamier side of techno, exploring utopian and dystopian themes.

A producer, DJ, NTS radio host and label head, Finn has come of age representing Manchester's underground dance music scene over the last four years. Showing up with a timely debut for Defected that will stop you in your tracks, he's now turning heads way further afield from the North West. Following a digital release, this 7' features an exclusive instrumental. The formula for 'Sometimes The Going Gets A Little Tough' is beautifully simple, exposing an intuition beyond the producer's years. At 135bpm it's a straight pumper in theory, playing directly into the hands of festival sets over the summer; with its vocal loop and heartfelt lyrics it becomes so much more. Gathering over 2m Spotify streams on its initial release via Tom Lea's London imprint Local Action, the track also received radio support from the likes of Annie Mac, Skream and Monki and support from DJs as diverse as TQD, Diplo and Martin Garrix. The appeal is universal and the execution is perfect, making this the kind of life affirming record that 2018 needs.

Medical Records presents the eleventh release in our Transfusions 12" singles series. Guilt, the collaborative project of New York City based artists, Oliver Chapoy and Nathaniel Young, is the result of 2 recording sessions during the spring of 2017. Their self-titled debut perfectly illustrates their shared taste for cold and dissonant synth programing across 3 driving dance-floor ready cuts all rounded off by an unhinged remix from The Bunker New York's Lt.te. The material focuses on blurring the lines between texture and melody and exploring the tonal qualities that result. For fans of labels such as Perc Trax, Aufnahme + Wiedergabe, Rodz-Konez, and Sonic Groove.

After starting up the infamous Invite's Choice podcast series in 2011, Tim van Paradijs (a.k.a. Invite) notes that the time feels right to contribute to the techno scene in a totally different way. The long cherished wish of starting up a recordlabel under the Invite moniker and thus propagating his view on electonic music is now to be fulfilled.

Phonology is a deep and droning track which lends itself perfectly for building tension. Plenary is a more repetitive track with less of a deep vibe than the A-side track, but nonetheless is a track that manages to form a bridge between deep tracks and more straight forward ones. The EP is concluded by a short, funky and frivolous track dubbed Bisonspoor. All together the first Invite's Choice Records EP is a very versatile and thought through record with three tracks that stand alone and somehow still manage to form one entity.

Labelhead Invite returns to his own imprint with a stunning 4-track solo EP.The EP is opened by a 'Determine', a somewhat deeper track with a very simple, yet powerful sequence that is supported by a very powerful kickdrum. 'Measure' continues the vibe set on the A-side, with it's very deep low-end and hypnotising synth-sequence topped with an aggressive ride. 'Refund' - the first track on the B-side - is a very stripped down, four-to-the-floor track that feels like the type of tool-tracks you'd find on EP's back in the days. The EP is concluded by the wonderful ambiance 'Excitation' sets which is a great track for starting or ending a set. Invite's Choice is at it again with a great EP that evolves all around the style Invite is known for; chaotic sequences, oldschool, stripped down use of drum machines and deep yet powerful low-ends

Fresh from outings on Super Rhythm Trax, Killekill and Power Vacuum, Jerome Hill is back on his Don't label and presents 4 road tested tracks - each totally different from the last but with the common goal of striking out and injecting colour, fun and a good measure of "Don't" rowdiness into the Techno landscape. "Egg Roll" is a slamming broken beat Techno monster that has been extensively tested out in the field, "Scez princess" combines hardcore breaks with waspish synth riffs while over on the flip "I Know" hits hard with no messing around. The EP is finished off with the lumbering, stunted funk of "Mono Skank". Available on lovely blue marbled Vinyl.

Russell Haswell returns to Diagonal with a new five-track mini-album called Respondent. Not quite an EP nor long enough for a full album, this record marks a significant shift in direction for Haswell, who collaborates with a vocalist, Sue Tompkins, for the first time in a career defined by its unorthodoxy that now stretches
Haswell says Respondent is influenced by these formative years when he was exposed to new sounds and ideas but lacked the ability and equipment needed to express himself. 'In a way I'm regressing, but I'm not trying to regress with the music,' he says. 'What I'm trying to do is think about how I felt and the energy and
what this stuff communicated to me.'
Respondent's juiciest cut is 'Special Long Version (Demo) Feat. Sue Tompkins'. One second shy of 10 minutes, this is Haswell's definition of house music. Taking cues from vintage Chicago tracks such as 'Your Love' by Frankie Knuckles, Muff Man's 'Sit On the Face' and Maurice Joshua's 'I Gotta Big Dick', Haswell forces their essence through his filters, distilling the sexual energy to a crude groove, while Tompkins, a Glasgow-based artist formerly of the band Life Without Buildings, talks, shouts and sings, her voice distorted and dulcet. 'I want your love,' she says at one point.
'Let Suffering Become You' is a mangled acid stomp that starts with a sample from the 1980 punk documentary D.O.A.: A Rite of Passage, with Guinness heir Jonathan Guinness haughtily observing: 'An awful lot of people who enjoy punk would really like to be back in those days when they could actually see physical people hacking each other to death.' Elsewhere, 'First In Man' is a cavernous dub speckled track, with spasmodic lasers, dedicated to Diagonal co-founder Jaimie Williams.
Haswell has chosen to release this material as a mini-album because he considers it an 'underused format', citing as a classic example New Order's merger of their two early singles "Everything's Gone Green' and 'Temptation' on to one five-track 12-inch, titled '1981-1982', for the US market.
He views this release as a stepping stone to his next project, an album featuring a number of guests. So don't rule out that Kylie collaboration just yet.

Second release vinyl only for the Highpath imprint, owned by Stephane Ghenacia & Thomas Roland.

In this 2nd V/A 4 beautiful dancefloor weapons from Nacho Bolognani, Tom Akman, Only Slave Nation & Jason Glanville.
Very Limited Copies!"

Ruben Üvez aka Konduku (a former resident of sadly closed De School in Amsterdam) delivered this extended play: a Şeker-meditation resting in itself: You always know where you are while having no clue where it’s coming from!
Rooted in steppy beats, these 5 variations of the same insult towards your having-something-better-to-do-state-of-mind will convince you that there is more out there! Something deep, something to be explored, maybe it’s dark, but it’s definitely something connecting you to the interdimensional sphere of progression within the human-designed world-consciousness-interface of communication through music!!
Not any music but the intricate kind of one you want to experience through a club sound-system (in case you do have neighbours and spent less than 3000,- on your home-system (…or really good headphones for that matter))!

For the cover we owe eternal gratitude to Sophie Schmidt, an artist from Munich, who apart from amazing paintings sometimes delivers breathtaking performances - and we can not recommend highly enough experiencing one of those!!! Honestly: Watch them if you get the chance: You’re unlikely to experience that kind of intensity anywhere else!

For the 15 years of Terminal M festivities it was a sure step to also get back into our catalogue and obviously listened to the older releases again. And it quickly came to our mind that Monika Kruses @ Voodooamt's classic 'Passengers' album from 2003 still is a true gem. So we reworked and remastered the whole album and asked close friends to select a track they wanted to remix. Oliver Huntemann, Alberto Ruiz and Skober immediately agreed and surprised us with their great new interpretations.

Perc returns to Perc Trax for his first original release of 2020 and his first full EP since 'Three Tracks To Send To Your Ghost Producer' was released back in March 2019. 'Fire In Negative' includes three tracks adapted from his live set at Reaktor's Unpolished event in Amsterdam earlier of this year, plus another completed directly after that set when the atmosphere and energy of that event was still fresh in his mind.

Title track and opener 'Fire In Negative' fuses crushing kicks with covert art gallery recordings and the crackling flames of the title, topped off with Ventolin-esque sine tones. Another statement track from Perc, sidestepping the current trend for rave revivalism whilst matching its energy toe to toe.

'E Mono' is a classic Perc drum track, skipping big builds for an unexpected switch in the middle section, whilst 'Snare' goes in the opposite direction, breaking down into two minutes of abrasive feedback before finally kicking back in.

Skryptom 14 was huge with Pierre Delort and Remy Maurin plus the remix from The Hacker, so let's go again for a Huge EP from our TRAUMER. Romain Poncet aka TRAUMER delivers 3 different killer tracks where the first one 'Sofa' is very deep techno, beautiful, but also dance floor friendly. On the second side we have 2 rough techno bombs with 'Oscla' a killer combination of pure Detroit banging techno and a sound who can perfectly fit to the Berghain peak time. 'Astra' is a rather industrial track with a break kick and a mix of Detroit chords and pads who make you dance and fly very very far . TRAUMER is definitely the new huge future French talent, follow him closely ....

French ROD imprint returns with another solid compilation of powerfull, forward-thinking, dark and mesmerizing anthems fuelled with a fierce undertone. Representing the essence of classic Rave sound, the Rave Encounter series, comes split into two 2x10".

Vol.1 sees the label founder Umwelt surrounded by some of the most exciting Rave figures of the moment. The A-side packs a dose of strictly for big warehouses 4/4 kicks by Italian duo 999999999. Followed by Umwelt's electro/techno "Rave Blaster" hammering hit. Merciless.

The second slice of plastic boasts a faster sound, as Holland based Falhaber serves up a rough yet metallic "Kick It while on the flip, Deep Dimension's
hypnotic monster "Hard Nova" concludes the record with a nostalgic touch. Expect nothing but uplifting melodies, cold breaks, and wild beats, calibered for maximum damage on the dancefloor.

Vol.2, will follow in september... don't sleep!

Here’s a special treat for our worldwide TAU family, a dream team collaboration as label heads Adana Twins link up with Echonomist. It’s been a hugely successful year for both acts, Adana Twins hitting a seemingly endless purple patch with their Diynamic release ‘My Computer’, they remixed Josh Wink’s classic ‘Higher State Of Consciousness’ and dropped a stunning collab with WhoMadeWho on Kompakt. Meanwhile, Echonomist has had a similarly impressive run, also appearing on WhoMadeWho’s EP, as well as dropping his debut solo EP Modern Wonder on TAU. More recently he released several tracks as part of Dixon’s Transmoderna compilations on Innervisions and is poised to release his first full solo EP on Innervisions, entitled Virtuality. To- gether they’ve produced four contemporary dance floor focused cuts that exude style and panache, demonstrating the power of their combined prowess.

Berlin's legends like Marcel Dettmann, Substance aka DJ Pete and Fiedel join forces to remix the acclaimed Ausgang album, "Output", out on KEY Vinyl last Spring.

"Hypoxia" version by Marcel Dettmann is a masterpiece of techno-electro. Substance aka Dj Pete revisited "Caged" maintaining the power of the repetitiveness from the Original. Fiedel creates a Ghetto techno version of "Stx 7".

The original "Output" album spans from electro to techno in eight tracks, rooting straight to the essence of the 90s.

VINYL ONLY

This release is from a single artist that some of you might know but with a new aka. It is also a just vinyl.

Extra Welt Hits is a time capsule drenched in the essence of the act’s DNA. Accentuated by newlyremastered tracks that serve their ever-evolving, clever and out-of-the-box sound, each recording spills into the next with sonic precision. From the monumental masterpiece of the album’s opening track ‘Ferneh’, through to the “One- way ticket to oblivion, please” hits of ‘Soopertrack’ and ‘Titelheld’, the listener is left captivated. And, because it’s what they do best, the destruction and artful reconstruction echoed through their shows are also present. These are beamed out in the exclusive live versions of ‘Zu Fuss’, ‘Dark Side Of My Room’ and ‘Herzstück’. Recorded in Tokyo, Paris and at the Fusion Festival, these bent, broken and rebuilt icons prove once again why they are one of the most influential live-acts of the semi- underground. That live-act—a futuristic symphony of dance music—is both undefinable and strays well past the norm. Their chance to manipulate their creations in a flow of measured spontaneity, it continues to leave permanent impressions on audiencesNew Release Information everywhere. The result is an experience focussed on purism with great care in presenting the deepest core of their craft, in essence; exactly what sums up their musical galaxy.
It was never the acts plan to release a best-of album, especially at the unusual 15- year mark, rather, it rolled into motion naturally as a way to immortalise the victory of being around so long (in a scene where the shelf life for most artists doesn't last much longer than an album or two, fifteen years is something of a triumph). With that, Extrawelt invite those that were there from the start to join them in getting a kick out of being “officially mature”. And for those that were not, to have the chance to hear their story up until now, like it’s never been told before. And yes, while the listener may have outlived many of the clubs which first introduced them, it is unlikely that anyone has outgrown this brave,
intangible and absorbing music—one that is all theirs, but all ours, too. A sound which is still as relevant today as ever it was; feeding the older generation’s electronic-itch while also enabling the newones to go totally nuts.

As Fabrice Lig has contributed to the Kanzleramt History - we are returning the favour and congratulate with this release to his 25th Stage-Anniversary!
Black Stone is taken from 'Universal Tech EP' of 2003 (ka089 12'' digi). Its powerful sequence was always considered as one of the best ever to be exposed on Kanzleramt. So more than deserving and about damn time 3 new Black Stones emerge: polished into an epic set-starter or the jet-black time-lapsed grinding and compressing in the earth's crust or raw acid washed. Heiko leaves the choice to you.

Jamie Clarke is a producer, musician and DJ. His label Either// hosts his recent work. Its first release, ‘Mirror Talk’, features remixes by Pablo Mateo, Casanova, and Philippa with early support from Tensnake, Ame, Piem, Joyce Muniz, Alinka, DJ T, Acid Pauli, Gene Farris bc, Severino… You can find earlier work appearing on diverse labels of favoured artists. “The Gene Krupa of electronic music” an admirer commented of his style: rolling, syncopated, digressive but ultimately melodic. Now, late 80s, a dark Detroit basement, eyes shut, the pound and sweep of that sound - you’re there.

Residencies at home in Dublin include The Pod, Hospital and his own UP!, the renowned rooftop party. He regularly guests across the continent and has projects in development in the US. In recent years the Reykjavik music scene has been a second home where Kaffebarrinn is a favourite haunt.

From the ruins of the birthplace of techno ...
Detroit Underground returns with this, their twenty second release, in a catalogue that has come to define the outer limits of experimental electronics while still adhering to dance floor basics.
This edition sees DU label boss Kero return to the spotlight in collaboration with LA based sound designer and interactive director Drasko Vucevic, aka Drasko V of Los Angeles based DRASTIC Music + Technology. Drasko has recently created, among other things, sound design for a promotional featurette for the Academy Award nominated film Gravity.
Given the label's long time fascination with the intersections of music, art and technology the collaboration is as fitting as it is fruitful.


Side A ups the collaborative ante as this 12'' comes blasting out of the gate with two very strong remixes, Exponent is the subject of a relentless 4/4 treatment from LA techno exponents Drumcell while Superheavy gets an acid-style work out from Canadian producer Jesse Somfay's Borealis project.


It is not until the second side that we hear the original versions of Exponent and Superheavy, both of which reveal themselves to be undulating masses of hip hop tinged beats over dark, bass rich undertones, with the latter offering some brighter tones as well - in other words pretty much what you might expect out of a Drasko V and Kero collaboration.


Side B is further rounded out with a couple of remixes from England's Si Begg and Valance Drakes the former coming in with a super compressed, squelched out, electro inspired take on Exponent while Valance Drakes chills us back out with an impossibly mellowed out version of the same

Second official release for the collaboration between the two techno veterans Linear Straight & Jeroen Search. A unique combo of bleepy sounds, mental and functional at the same time.

Another precious EP on vinyl only.

The current sound of MasCon is a syncrisis of modern and oldskool Techno. The both original tracks embody modular, analog and digital sounds combined with heavy effects and a couple of straight sometimes confusing drum pattern. The mostly live tweaked and recorded sounds add agility into the tracks.
The EP is comleted by 1 Remix of Oliver Rosemann and another by the Labelowner himself.

Mike Parker roars back with the 20th release of his own Geophone label. The A side 'Full Moon in Winter' is an acidic monster created with a TB-303 Devilfish. This track was premiered by DJ Dozzy at the Labyrinth festival and has been sought after ever since. More of Mike's insectoid sounds permeate the B side with sizzling analogue high pass filters structured around his tight but fluid rhythms. GPH20 is a must for fans of Mike Parker's otherworldly techno sound.

The sound of sound of T.E.W. is something out of time, with no context and far from any idea of business, all features that make their music so current. Every time someone put their records on a turntable, their music is able to open a way to suggestions, memories and reasonings that make us feeling their own language so deeply, a kind of sound that has really something to say.

On 2019 T.E.W. are back with a new Habitat release, iPHiiUNiCi 1/3, the beginning of a new musical phase from the duo that many people admitted as one of the absolutely most underestimate techno projects.

In 2020 the second episode: iPHiiUNiCi 2/3 and from the title we don't believe it will be the last of the series..
