The third release in the Dimensional Exploration series. This time four deep cuts with completely submerged underwater-vibes.
Limited supplies.

Berlin-based American Kevin McHugh aka Ambivalent is definitely no stranger to the scene. With "R U OK" on Richie Hawtin's M_nus label he landed one of clubland's absolute hits of 2007 which can still be found lurking in discerning DJ's record cases today. Since 2015 he has been providing high quality tracks on his Delft label, and he celebrated his Cocoon debut two years ago with the "Daylights" EP.

Together with Dutch Clone-producer Martijn Hoogendijk aka Alden Tyrell, Ambivalent has cooked up another serving of straightforward techno complete with rigorous hi-hats, which will no doubt summon up the uncompromising energy of his Berghain sets wherever it's played. With its powerful incantation of sequential rave signals, "Wallfall" recalls the best d

The very talented Citty , is the responsible for "Final Hope", the 5th Alpengluhen vinyl.
The live modular techno project founded by Martini Vodecka offers us 4 tracks that fit perfectly with the sound of the label.

The subliminal and oscillating melodies, the percussions with reverbs from outer worlds and the hypnotic and deep sounds created by Citty go directly to our minds and feet. The optimism and the emotional vibes make us dance unavoidably with a smile in the face. The dynamic range control and the masterful mixdown create fluctuating layers and above all, deepness. Subtle acid lines merge perfectly with profound and progressive pads generating tension and again, depth.
If "Emotional" was the word that best defined Edit Select's Habitual ep, "Deepness" would be the right one for this "Final Hope"ep.
Only 200 copies pressed.

To give end to his alter ego Mariano Marcial aka "Deep Mariano" gives us its latest album. A story filled with syncopated rhythms, elegant passages between techno and microhouse abstract sounds. This work completes in a collaboration with Exequiel, artist of San Pablo, and a rmx with a solid groove with futurist low funk bass of federico Molinari

Spiritual Peanuts Sorting Priorities

Dark electronix and electro from Assimilation Process. A vivid mix of digital processed sounds in combination with field recording and other analogue sound sources. These 6 tracks draw their energy from the severe contrast between melancholy and noise intensified by the rhythmic structures and the instantaneous sound pressure. Heavy!!

Refreshingly new oldskool techno tracks by Bornek Nowec, a project by a Rotterdam based dj/producer known for his long tied connections with the local techno scene. This release is the first outing from his large archive of techno tracks produced over the years. 4 cuts full of character that reminds us of the long nights at the Nightown basement in the 90's where he was dj'ing with guys such as Dj T!M aka Frame Six and Paul Du Lac.

1997. 'Drexciya don't have no phone. They're too busy to do your remix'. Mad Mike's response was short and to the point, enough to put off some; but not Vincent Koreman. Addicted from an early age, the dutch producer dug deeper and deeper into the mythology and mystery of James Stinson and Gerald Donald. The sounds, images and ideas conjured up by the Detroit electro duo pulled Koreman in, his "fascination" growing ever more "intense" as the underwater dwellers sonically prospered. Fast forward twenty years and that fascination has not diluted one drop, in fact the aquatic dream of the wavejumpers is the inspiration for "Recolonization". These tracks "would have never had existed," says Koreman, "if it wasn't for Stinson and Donald creating that great, energetic, abstract electronic music and coupled it with an original vision on the African diaspora, art and culture." This music is an homage to the enigma of Drexciya, a tribute to the machine marine men who pioneered electro and a vision. Drvg Cvltvre continues that vision, one of "an underwater race" that has reconquered Earth, overcoming "big business, corporate greed and water pollution" to reclaim the surface from man. Forget mankind. Our time is over, 'Recolonization' is here.

Emma DJ delivers a class palette of sounds on his 13 track debut for the Brothers From Different Mothers catalog, ever blurring the lines between club music and lush / torturous psychedelic explorations with his trademark offbeat distortion and cavernous rave stabs, giving body and minds more than they can chew on whilst lacing together some of his most innovative material to date.

Cologne's Feines Tier is delivering their first label compilation, Including 23 exclusive tracks by a lot of friends and recent guests of their well known party series. Spreading vibes from slow chuggers and hip-shaking house to uncompromising techno - this is versatile electronic music for making the occasional narcotized convolutions of your brain feel much better. The double CD contains not only twenty three exclusive tracks, but a sweet 28 page booklet. On the double vinyl edition you'll find four slower tunes on the first disc, and four tunes to make the crowd go wild on the second one. Silk printed and numbered vinyl covers. Cover art by Zoologne

Operating as a new series to his longstanding dement3d imprint, founded back in 2011 alongside co-founder hbt, the project will serve as a cultural platform for artists to share visions and expansive productions not confined within the worlds of house and techno, enabling the freedom to explore genres across the electronic sphere. This approach stems from Francois X' own personal approach to music production and djing, with a key emphasis on warm, emotive and sensual cuts at its core. The inaugural ep comes from Francois X with the four tracks featured on '001' bridging the gap between his earlier and forthcoming work as well as his future vision for the imprint, incorporating broken arrangements, captivating soundscapes, and immersive textures to reveal a warmer, more house-focused side to x's sound across slower, entrancing tempos. Whilst zoumenou's productions remain centred around his own personal vision of the night, highlighted by the track titles across the package, the cuts explore and delve deep into the idea of open expression within landscapes heightened through the sense of both obscurity and mystery, returning back to ideas explored within his IRREGULAR PASSION LP released in 2018.

Tbilisi-based artist Gacha Bakradze creates cinematic soundscapes on his Die Orakel debut entitled 'Western Arrogance' – a genre-transcending exploration of electro, breakbeats, trance and IDM

After a prolific career releasing on platforms such as Audio Assault, Token, PercTrax, Stroboscopic Artefacts and the HueHelix imprint Go Hiyama is back with an astounding piece of work that dictates its own path. 'I Am Goodbye' graces us with wondrous sound-design and drum patterns that are just as menacing as they are intricate. Based on the concept of denial this full-length takes a steep dive into what here at Parachute we cherish the most - individuality. Steering away from what are his canonic approaches to producing he chooses to leave behind sequencers and synths to further explore the nature of instruments such as piano and vibraphone as well as an array of field recordings. The end result is remarkable proof of the concept behind this album, interpreting denial in an unusually positive course of action allowing him to explore areas of sound he had previously never visited. A definite highlight here at Parachute and an exemplary release to kick off our 2017 schedule. The year couldn't have started any better! ‚I Am Goodbye' is designed by Atilla Fidan and released on LP and digital formats.

Jodey Kendrick joins the Clone Dub recordings roster!

A must have release for those closing your eyes moments when its time to deep dive and get lost into "dark places".

This year Kevin Saunderson, Ann Saunderson and Paris Grey, collectively known as the legendary band Inner City, release 'Future', their first entirely new material since parting company in 2001, written and produced in collaboration with another Detroit legend, namely Kenny Larkin.

The track marks a welcome return for a group that combined the tough, futuristic grooves of the Detroit scene with the vocal energy of R&B and gospel and helped to define the period in which house and techno moved from underground phenomena to top 10 material, paving the way for hundreds of dance hits to come.

'Future' is devastatingly catchy and highly emotional, exhibiting all the soulful flavours and qualities you would expect from these celebrated producers and singers. Masterfully re-edited by Carl Craig this track ascends to a higher place whilst Kenny Larkin is on remix duties, beautifully reworking the original into a techno infused monster with intoxicating staccato vocals.

Killer 4 track EP of refined electro, off kilter techno and emotive house tied together by a playful and alternative feel.

“EP is super good, love it” - Radio Slave
"Feeling this one massively. Beautifully elegant and futuristic music." - Photonz (Dark Entries / Naive)
"Oh yes! Big stuff for sure!!! Thanks!” - Peder Mannerfelt
"Solid music per usual from Matt." - Santiago Salazar (Rekids / Dublab)

TJ Hertz's first original release since 2014's critically acclaimed Flatland LP comes in the form of Objekt #4, a continuation of his club-focused white label series and a tribute to the sadly now defunct Basement Q, a formative and beloved haunt in Berlin's Schöneberg district which quietly but profoundly shaped the musical identities of Hertz and several of his contemporaries until its final closure in 2012.

There really was no place quite like it,' remembers Hertz. Even in the later years when Joe (Call Super) and I would go, the sense of vitality was palpable, you had all these regulars who must all have been pushing 50 years old but still had more energy and passion than any 25 year olds we knew at the time. God only knows what it must've been like in the 80s when it opened. I think it changed a bit over the years but I know the horse fresco on the ceiling was there from the start and the custom-built soundsystem too. Bogdan, the sage and amiable but somehow kinda unhinged old Bulgarian dude that owned and built the place, he had this obsession with right angles, he hated them, said they were fascist or something. So everything was slightly askew and you never quite knew which direction was up, much less when he or Emil or one of the other residents were playing. It was disorientating and beautiful and in the midst of such an experience your eyes would offer your brain no valid explanation for the wonderful confusion of sound that your ears were reporting. Meanwhile this old, fabulous, rave-weathered crowd of 40 to 60 people would be gradually losing their shit, feet glued to the floor but bodies flailing as if caught in a hurricane. It was something else.'

The two tracks on Objekt #4 pay tribute to two of the many musical facets of Basement Q in its later years. A-side Needle and Thread' aims to condense several hours of a Thursday night in the Basement into 9 minutes and 26 seconds, embellishing a hypnotic rolling techno backbone with hyper-detailed atmospherics, enchanting melodies and tight, strident breakbeats. B-side Theme From Q' is Hertz's reinterpretation of a Basement Q anthem, owner and founder DJ Bogdan's own Love Inna Basement (Morning Dub)', which never saw an official release despite providing the soundtrack to over 20 years of late morning love-ins in the cellar underneath the Sattler & Söhne glue factory. Together, the two tracks offer an incomplete but nonetheless seductive illustration of one of the most idiosyncratic and overlooked clubs in Berlin's recent history.

Kicking off with 'May 1932' - a screeching, relentless funk driven jam backed with the offbeat electronics of 'Of Cotton' - a trippy skittish techno headnodder.

Darko Esser returns with two powerful, finely crafted techno pieces on the eighth installment of his Trip series, 'Eighth Trip' his first release since 2015.

'Untitled #15' drives forward with sullen aggression, eerie morphing synths gaining strength and swaying atop aggravated deep-hitting drums, all constantly meandering in space and energy. On the flip side 'Untitled #16' is forged with less aggression, but just as much tension, a morose cowbell sounds, offset from a moody drum pattern that beats beneath an extra-terrestrial synth, creeping, and probing, throughout the whole piece.

Altogether 'Eighth Trip' is yet another rich-sounding release from a champion of the darker, deeper realms of techno.

The highly anticipated EP, 'WHAT HE SAYS', written and produced by French techno artist, VLAYSIN, with remixes by Italian producer AYARCANA, along with Los Angeles artist, AXKAN, is finally here. This is the first release for OMEN Recordings and it effortlessly chronicles the chaotic, dark, and raw characters of cutting edge techno.VLAYSIN performs live using pure hardware to capture his raw analog sound. His music is dark experimental with soul and substance. The energy and vigor it brings captures the listener and takes you to a place you never have been. Strong bass lines fasten to the developmental, noise melodies in a cohesive way that gets the dance floor moving. With previous releases under his Octave moniker which leans towards a cleaner and traditional techno path, Vlaysin opts for the 'no holds barred' route. The title track, 'What He Says', goes straight in with industrial strength distortion led by glitchy, moody and deep melodies. The second track, 'Rising Anger', is off to the experimental races with abrasive analog screams and 'in your face' explosive noises. AXKAN is a leader in creating industrial and haunting synth work. His wildly different approach and dedication to the classic sounds from a SCI Pro-One and Roland System 100m amongst others make his remix of 'What He Says' very unique. His tribal break-beat kick drums around a distorted dark vocal breakdown add to this brutal ride. AYARCANA is also a producer at the forefront of the industrial techno movement that has been taking the darkest warehouses by storm worldwide over the past few years. His remix of 'Rising Anger' marches forward with upfront, harsh, factory machine melodies and then eventually rolling kicks ascending to a fast speed finish.This EP is rooted in anxiety and provides serious energy. Sonically all the tracks on the EP work together in a cohesive fashion that, without a doubt, will rip loudspeaker systems to shreds. It draws you in and takes you on a unmerciful, but yet trippy ride, before it mauls you in the face with submarine deep kicks and chainsaw melodies. It employs some of the craziest and experimental sounds that makes this record definitely worth listening.

A new member entered the Voitax imprint and crafted this massive three track EP with raw tripping tools and a stripped down ambient track that fits perfect into the labels identity and leads you to your ruins.

After his stellar debut on the label Kitkatone is back giving a nice spectrum on his music. This is Sareet, a deep immersion in his world and the way he see the groove and his colored melodies

Rhythm Buro's fourth release is a much anticipated EP from one of it's co-cofounders, Na Nich aka Alexander Pavlenko. Pavlenko has been making music for nearly 20 years, most notably under the alias Sunchase. With the latter project, he was known in the drum and bass world as something of a child prodigy, but more recently Pavlenko started applying his artistry towards soundscapes that can be filed into the techno category. In the last four years he's been first and foremost involved with Rhythm Buro, a techno initiative, party series and label from Kiev, Ukraine, that has since become well-regarded among DJs and dancers internationally.

This EP marks Na Nich's first solo EP, following a track featured on Semantica Records' anniversary compilation 'Arquitectura del Sueno', along with a few tracks appearing on Rhythm Buro's previous VA releases.

RB004 opens on the A1 with a track entitled 'The Key' which is one of the first tracks made by Na Nich. The listener is gently introduced to an ambient wonder wall before some percussive elements open up and synths set the mood: a transportive journey led by a kalimba-infused melody which swells with a certain ambiguity that seems to lend a shamanistic touch. A2's 'DVA' is a more four-to-the-floor dubbed-out gentle fist pumper, with melting synth melodies and foggy layers backdropped by steady reaching high-hats and a consistently wise kick drum. A strong element of the psychedelic and inquisitive is much present.

The B side of the record is another part of the story: B1's 'Log' is an epic night-finisher dreamscape, a strong element of space seems to be the focus here as beats play less present in this foggy cinematic soundtrack to a film that has yet to be made. The remix version by Luigi Tozzi on B2 reminds us how deep this prolific Italian artist can take us down the rabbit hole. For fans of danceable, groove-centered and thought provoking tunes to loose one's and find one's mind to.

DESCRIPTION

FALK Records will be releasing 'Spaces' from Icelandic experimental producer AAIIEENN this August.

AAIIEENN is the solo project of electronic musician Hallmar Gauti Halldórsson. Halldórsson first came to
music though being a mover and shaker in Iceland's punk and hardcore scene where he was the 'harsh
noise guy' with local band Distill the World. With AAIIEENN however, Halldórsson moved away from the
guitars and screaming to a fully electronic world of experimental synth music and gorging on the
mathematical possibilities and expanses of arpeggio/sequencer driven ambient music.

'Calab-Yau' and 'Continuous Property 1' drip shards of pure crystalline sound into deep crevasses as
harmonic droplets ping of gleaming surfaces coated with spongiform bass. The light and effervescent
'Euclidean' evokes classic Ambient Works Aphex Twin, while 'Manifold' is more direct with a muscular and
sturdy bassline. Spaces closes with the fluttering and lush ambient sounds of 'Zariksi' that are carried into
the skies by a pulsing and gliding techno beat.

A new talent is added to our roster, this time the argentinian Alderaan, after several releases in labels such as Animal farm, Mindtrip, Planet Rhythm and our very own Aine.

He offers five slices of modern techno, heavy percussive based but whit a lot of intelligent elements inside.

First cut is Ancient Particles, multiple drum layers, heavy reverberation and obsessive sequences as sound palette.

Parallax follows in the same style but adding more drone action and bell like lines in a clever arrangement.

Oscar Mulero remixes Retina getting rid of the textures and focusing in rhythm and repetition in a minimalistic remake.

Retina is a cosmic exercise, with galactic resonant bleeps, atmospheres and ambiental components in a dreamy structure.

No quarter returns to percussive territories, again with drones and atmospheres floating over the beat in an hypnotic travel thru deepness.

Timeless techno for the mind and for the body, soul as a weapon.
