A multi-system conglomerate servicing planets within the Orion Arm of the Milky Way, TerraFirm provides the desiccated, toxified, irradiated or otherwise uninhabitable planets of this sector with a suite of services to rectify any environmental challenge. From geoformation to carbon extraction, desalination to biome rehabilitation, TerraFirm has a full range of services to return your planet to its naturally thriving, pre-apocalypse state.

The topography of post-biological planets is typically rendered flat by the devastations of resource extraction, nuclear war and tectonic collapse. Without geologic features to divide and differentiate, biomes and weather systems collapse into chaos. Superstorms and continent-wide deserts proliferate. TerraFirm’s patented process of Orogenesis has been developed to reintroduce geologic features necessary for your planet’s survival. Through the magnetic manipulation of tectonic plates mountain ranges, plateaus, valleys and more can be constructed with precision. These geoformations will then provide the boundary lines by which various biomes and weather systems can establish themselves.

Perhaps better known for his affiliations with Body Promise (Watch > boiler room set 2019), Hed Ardennes steps up for his solo production debut.

‘Dutton Bleeds Out’ see’s the A side play this year’s protest anthem with a not-so-subtle reference to Australia’s demonic Minister for Home Affairs. This is anti-fascism-manifest; neatly packaged as a dance-floor ready, low-end punch to the guts. ~ Pop the finger guns and take aim at Parliament!

Turn it over for the rolling & tripped out ‘Hunched’. The meditative moment of calm

Amelie Len's tight-knit techno imprint Lenkse has taken the Belgium scene and beyond by storm, with crew member Milo Spykers reveling in fogged-out cuts with an appetite for power and an affinity towards the gritty soul of techno. Spykers makes his third appearance on the prolific label with the glorious Accelerator EP, ahead of now post-poned sets at the acclaimed Tomorrowland and Extrema Outdoor festivals this summer.

Opening with title track 'Accelerator', a no-nonsense booming kick drum and acidic licks make for a colossal track that teases the 90s whilst remaining future forward. The B-side only builds on the cosmic energy; 'The Debris' turns to the melodic, employing infectious synth work and languid vocal inflections. Spyker's flair for sprawling sound design is felt throughout, coming to fruition on the hypnotic 'Heads Tilted Back', featuring creeping percussive elements, psychedelic riffs and an indisputable groove.

Three cuts destined to ignite the dance floor with Spyker's consistent intensity, the record is an intoxicating listen.

Suction Records is excited to unleash the first in a series of extensive archival releases by a new artist, bedroom producer RX-101. This previously unreleased material dates from 1997 -1999, recorded live to cassette in a feverish burst of creativity, utilizing a small arsenal of classic techno tools inc uding the Roland TR-808, TB-303, Juno-106, and his beloved SH-1 01. What's astonishing about RX-101 is the sheer volume of diverse and stunning material recorded in just 2 years. Fans of Aphex Twin's Analogue Bubblebath and Caustic Window series will rejoice in the authentic early-90s Rephlex-ian burst of "EP 1.' From the eerie, isolationist-rave stomp of opener 'Tunnel,' to the emotive, primitive electronica of 'Bloom(pt.1),' through to the majestic, ambient melodicism of closer 'If I Could Ever Get...,' the 6 tracks found on 'EP 1' serve as an exciting introduction to RX-101' s treasure-trove of vintage Rephlex-style electronics.

After resurfacing in 2017 with Chicago Bee Records, label owner Mark Churcher has received a steady stream of interest for his old label Emote and band V-Neck (co writer Doug Martin) The repeated interest of the 90s label has sparked this re issue.

Now a monstrous 25 years old it would appear this record is still very much appreciated by the few that bought it at the time. And until now extremely hard to find with only 500 pressed in 1995

Side A fuses ambient, dub and techno at a time when this sound was still developing as a sub genre.

Side B leans more towards dark electronica and techno

The MINDFULNESS HIPERNORMALISATION album itself marks a new turn in Eduardo's work, breaking away from any musical style or stereotype and always trying to seeking freedom of expression,marked also by a strong connotation of voluntary ostracism.A new stage in which Eduardo uses this double vinyl like a tool to mark a distance with the current international scene and also support the Adam Curtis theories shown on his acclamed documentary "The HiperNormalisation" 2016 . The album show influences that goes from romantic ambient melodies to the most complex and experimental electronica,also including easy listening techno where it is difficult to differentiate the line between techno and ambient.

Francois Kervorkian,DJ and official engineer of albums belonging to Depeche Mode or Kraftwerk, gives support to this great work of Eduardo which will remain in the near future and without any doubt as a cult album.

The 1990's launched an onslaught of projects and musical influences to a new generation of listeners to a re-emergence of electro. Paying homage to those before, a four-man crew from the east side of Detroit, AUX88, laid down the foundation of the gritty sound of the streets, and made their presence known via urban radio, dance clubs, and overseas venues. The time has come for those who were major influences to add their touch to the continuation of that sonic pallet.

*"MY AUX MIND" (Cybotron Mix)*
Reworked & refined, "The Originator", joins forces on the classic jam. Pumped up by the cosmic bass slaps as the man himself, Juan Atkins, injects his futuristic, cool vocals over this mix's voyage into a funky electro masterpiece.

*"MY AUX MIND" (Original Mix)*
A stark & bold radio hit that brought about the electro revival makes its appearance on this must-have essential. Reminding a new era of its statement to move butts on its own terms. Definitely classic.

*"MY AUX MIND" (Egyptian Lover Mix)*
Rehashed by the "Master of the 808", the Egyptian Lover takes hold of the track adding his signature beats, robotic vocorder vocals, and mythic melodies as if it was his own. A complete dance floor boogie statement to the art by one of the group's heaviest influences.

This February, Rekids look to the venerable talents of Len Faki for three fantastic remixes of tracks from FBK's 2019 debut album, ‘More Stories From The Future’.

For two decades, German artist Len Faki has towered over the techno underground thanks to his renowned DJ sets at cult venues like Berghain, and his always on point productions.

They have come on staples like Ostgut Ton and Cocoon, but mostly on his own powerhouse outlet Figure. Over the years, Faki has provided a number of excellent remixes on Rekids, including Dustin Zahn and Radio Slave himself, thus it’s incontestable that he’s the best person to remix Kevin Kennedy’s incredible album – and the result speaks for itself.

Up first is his ‘Hardspace Mix’ of 'Headless', which becomes a sublime seven-minute techno roller. Utterly hypnotic throughout, it has looped one-word vocals, smooth claps and wiry synth lines all intertwined with perfectly rubber kicks.

The excellent mix of 'I'll Sit Back' builds to a more manic peak, with hammering hits and steel-plated drums all demanding you march to the increasingly dark techno groove as a vocal repeat’s the title over and over. Finally, the mix of 'Hassling' is built on hulking great drums that will rattle warehouse walls, and has dub techno chords draped throughout: it finds a perfect sweet spot between irresistible functionality and atmospheric form.

We're proud to announce Intrusion (cv313/echospace) reworks of Phase90's, "Infinitati" an album Boomkat hailed as, "a place to dip your toes in Deepchord/Echospace's oceans of sound, this is it." A night time walk on the wrong side of the street, creepy and ominous in nature as a result of the possessive quality of supernatural textures, field recordings and found sounds conducted at the Calvary Cemetery. Utilizing the original 1/4" tape recordings and individual sounds, Intrusion builds on the foundation steps further, using the mixing board as the primary instrument as well as, tape splicing, 12 bit loop stations and other audio wizardry. The material on this 12" ep can be interpreted as sinistral--dark,, heavy due to the hardware and its currencies emitted by its source--the phase 90. An acidic dream residing somewhere in the ether. Absolutely essential listening and horizontal grooving for the ages!

Red Rising out of the ruins - dystopian producer and mastermind Rødhåd follow up with his third EP on Dystopian since 2012.
In three tracks between hell and mars, the red techno man shows his amazing melancholic and deep style.

Superlux is the latest project from Mike Gill, Nick Gynn and Johnny Hunter. With years of combined experience in the
industry, each member brings their own unique flavour to the mix. The end result being the trio's debut release, Superlux
001, on their new imprint: Superlux Records.

The EP begins with Mike Gill’s Noisy Rework of White Noise . A breakbeat style cut that harks back to the early days of dance
music, stuttering percussion and intermittent hi hats help form a track that feels modern yet mature. Chupa Track continues in the same vein, as a mechanical synth rotates alongside echoing calls and robot-esque keys, before Take One ups the tempo as
reverberating pads clunk on top of a slow moving bassline. Rounding off the EP is the Dawl remix of Take One . A similarly eerie number, pulses and beeps merge with choppy breaks to form a futuristic, extra-terrestrial sounding cut.

Vol. II of our compilations called “The Spacy Saga” comes with 6 original mental mind missiles from five truly underground rising composers - check it out.

Hailing from Amsterdam, Melawati, also known as Melawati Modular, is a composer, sound designer, avid lover of modular synths, and an experimental live electronic music artist making his debut on Ellum Audio. His beautiful single also features two astounding remixes by the maestro and label head Maceo Plex and melancholic masters Tale of Us.

The excellent 'Daliah' is a smooth and seductive journey through lush melody and productive synth work. Those synths come in various forms, from fluid smears to more pixelated stabs. The restless breakbeats below his humming tunes add to the sense of adventure as you race through the cosmos on the galactic journey Melawati has created.

Maceo Plex steps up to remix, with a version that has tense, textured chord vamps, punchy kicks, and enigmatic twinkling keys raining down from above. It is epic and cinematic and a perfect fit for his always far-gazing label.

Finally, the acclaimed Italian duo treats us with their excellent remix. Tale of US flip the cut into a spacious melodic techno track with dramatic breakdowns, big chord builds, and a cruising groove that will carry the auditor into the next dimension.

This is an innovative, classy melodic techno track of the highest order.

In 2012 Paul Kalkbrenner released the very succesful single - Das Gezabel' from his current album - Guten Tag'. For the inclusion within the brandnew remix album which is ready for summer 2014 the by choice Berliners Pan-Pot picked this track for their remix. After joining Paul Kalkbrenner for his 2013 world tour they deliver a classic piece of Pan-Pot prodcuction which means elegant high-end techno, straight and direct to your head and for the dancefloor. The characteristic melodic lines from the original show up every now and then making a nice counterpart to the heavy bass & beat orgy created by Pan-Pot for this futuristic approach towards techno.

Apollo is a new concept project from me, spread across 3 EPs which throw back to the 90s melodic Techno and Progressive Trance sound. Although my roots are firmly in Breakbeat-Rave, I was also captivated by the big room sound of labels like R&S, Guerilla, Hard Hands and Sven Väth’s Harthouse from that same period of time. My studio is full of old equipment that fuelled that original European sound so I quickly found myself focussing on a bunch of tracks that are heavily influenced by some really special music that often gets forgotten."

Debut full-length from Spatial. A Music of Sound Systems is a blur of dub and techno and club music, all abstracted to create a suite of ambient / industrial deconstructed electronics.
UK artist Spatial reveals his debut album 'A Music of Sound Systems' to be released via his own Infrasonic's imprint, the anticipated LP is a culmination and exploration of the raw and experimental sound for which he has become synonymous. Following on from his Emergence series, released across 3 parts in 2015-2016, Spatial's debut album is a step away from the series but also a deconstruction of it, incorporating key sounds as well his new hardware set up, road tested at last years live Mutek performance. Framed by the abstract art movement 'Suprematism' and Russian artist Lissitzky in particular, 'A Music Of Sound Systems' is an audio exploration of space, volume, mass and rhythm as well as an homage to both Caribbean and UK soundsystem culture. As Spatial explains the album is Visceral music that inhabits in a kind of architectural form..the stereo panning in the tracks hints at 3D in a similar way to the work of Lissitzky' With musique concrète and the Darmstadt School both cited as inspirations, Spatial takes ideas of obscuring and manipulating but instead interprets them into more club-aligned compositions. Combining these concepts, album opener 'Doping conductor' mixes tense soundscapes with crackling synths and a void like sinking bass. 'Proun', a direct reference to Lissitsky, builds with escalating ominous intent whilst 'Quiddity Dub' draws heavily on Spatial's dub roots. 'Walking off' is a turning point on the LP as a vast and deserted ambient landscape materializes before 'Routine conflict' combines distorted noise with echoing and apprehensive synths. 'System I' quickens with visceral scratches over a brooding siren like call before 'A Music Of Sound Systems' closes out the LP with an eerie and staggered melody, rumbling outwards. The split production location between his hometown of London and the Canary Islands is reflected in the contradiction of moods in the album. Juxtaposing the intensity of urban life with the idyllic rural settings of La Palma, the album conjures harsh grey and industrial scenes alongside softer ambient tones offering up moments of respite.

Synkro handpicks three great producers to remix tracks from his ‘Images’ album. Claro Intelecto has been releasing consistently on point deep techno and electro since 2003. His remix is perfectly equipped for dancefloors in 2020. Sad City represents R&S offshoot Meda Fury with a trademark hypnotic beatdown workout and Apollo label mate and collaborator Sieren ramps up the emotions for his remix of the title track.

12inch release of highly sought after Colored Music edits by Tokyo's, Chee Shimizu (Organic Music). The two cuts originally featured on the the bands seminal self titled album (from 1981) that remained a cult DJ secret weapon, for many years, all over the world. This heavy EP includes an alternative version of 'Heartbeat' that featured on the Japan only "Individual Beauty" LP of 2018 (also compiled by Shimizu)

Shanghai’s forward-facing Svbkvlt turn out a killer surprise drop from Hyph11e and Kode 9 after their raucous Gooooose & Dj Scotch Egg throw down Last spotted on a body-spinning split session with Slikback for Hakuna Kulala/Svbkvlt in 2019,
Hyph11e’s Tess Sun renders her most polluted atmospheres over panel-beating mutant techno rhythms in ‘Barnacles’; spending the first half fulminating amorphous, cranky sound design before
emerging from the chthonic murk with a foul head of industrial bashment.
As an avowed fan of Svbkvlt’s aesthetic, and a regular visitor to their region, Kode 9 is the ideal candidate to rework ‘Barnacles’, refitting it with signature wavey top line and recalibratiing the rhythm to a hybrid of rolling mid ‘90s hardcore breaks, nippy 2-step, and glyding UK Drill bass graffitti that firmly marks up his first outing since 2019’s ‘Digging In The Cart’ reworks of Japanese computer game soundtracks.

"CN006" Vinyl was released on the 14th April, 2020 and has so far received great support from industry and artists including Perc, Tommy Four Seven, Manni Dee, Rebekah, SNTS, Warin D, Swarm Intelligence, and many more ...
