Techno Vinyl New Releases - News

Pure Techno. Full stop.
The first track on RRRC-024 is contributed by finnish Dj and Producer Orion. "Endlich Normale Leute" is a powerful piece of detroit-flavoured Techno with suspenseful flow and dynamics.
"CC02" by Kenny Dahl from Italy generates a dark and cloudy atmosphere, raising to a truly Techno thunderstorm.

The next stop on the Two Shell voyage; following on from sell outs of both their debut on Livity Sound and N35 white label, the blood brothers bring together an EP of joyful yet shadowy, powerful and highly energetic tracks. Recalling the usual elements of UK techno that they are becoming known for, this release displays a more widely expressive side to their sound and invites listeners deeper into the duo's world.

Support from Oli XL, Aya, Gramrcy, Oceanic, Bruce, Peach, Bake and Piezo, with special mention to a recently surfaced video of Four Tet playing Touchpad at Glastonbury 2019.

Birthed from a radio show and event series with iconic Los Angeles radio station DUBLAB, SOS MUSIC’s goal is to provide a platform for diverse and forward-thinking electronic music, with a keen emphasis on womxn talent from around the world. In conjunction with Berlin-based !K7, the label’s debut release, SOS MUSIC Vol. 1 is a 14-track eclectic compilation showcasing dance music from some of the best producers working at the moment including rRoxymore, Violet, Nightwave, Umfang, LCY & Minimal Violence - lovingly curated to uplift and celebrate the global electronic community in a time of deep uncertainty in the music industry. SOS MUSIC Vol. 1 is international to its core, drawing on in?uences from the artists’ respective backgrounds including the UK, US, Serbia, Spain, Japan, Slovenia, Portugal, Germany & Canada.

SOS MUSIC was founded in Los Angeles by Maddy Maia (UK) and Tottie (Spain via the UK). Maddy has a long history in independent music, and is currently VP A&R in the US for famed British indie label Ninja Tune. Tottie is director of events and special projects at DUBLAB, and curates music, art and cultural programming that re?ects the diverse landscape of the city and beyond.

A shared love of underground music and culture, Maia and Tottie’s bond started strong via throwing events and later with hosting a monthly radio show; The SOS Music imprint is a natural next step in the pair’s progression as curators and its goal will continue early principles the duo stuck to- to seek out diverse underground talent and amplify their voice or community, whilst championing diversity on all sides of the industry. Maddy and Tottie’s music in?uences and styles span wide across the spectrum of experimental dance music, ranging from left?eld house, orchestral ambient sounds, not forgetting a nod to their youth growing up in the UK rave scene.

Tough stomping, highly effective big room Techno package.

The Berlin based Alexander Kowalski is responsible for projects like DisX 3 (Tresor, Konsequent), Mr. Discoteque (BCC), as Double X together with Stassy (Sender Berlin) and last but not least under his real name Alexander Kowalski exclusive for Kanzleramt. After his debut 12inch for Kanzleramt titled "Live" featured two unchanged live recordings, Alex released his second 12inch "Dark Soul" in 2000 which includes the first solo-studio-recordings for Kanzleramt. This 12" gives you a taste for Alexander Kowalski's follow up LP "Echoes". The acutely harmonic tracks on "Dark Soul" are a tribute to the dark side of Alexander Kowalski and may belong to one of the best productions without a doubt in 2000. Alexander released his really successful long-player "Response" in 2003 and his 12inch release "Alexander Kowalski With Funk D'Void And Joris Voorn" on Kanzleramt at last.

Tikita celebrates 5 years anniversary with these lost and found tracks from the japanese legend !

Journey through the beauty and brutality of Mother Earth with "When The Ice will Break", a four-track techno EP from Italian producer, Mod21, breaking a year-long pause for On the 5th Day's label.

Samuel van Dijk aka VC-118A returns to Delsin and gives us a taste of what's cooking in his futuristic electro lab. On this fierce two-tracker 'Crunch / Plonk' the Dutch producer presents two rough cuts of his trademark machine sound. Three smoke-filled endless loops add up to the a-side for a taste of his forthcoming album early next year.

Yila, an ex-Londoner based in Ljubljana collaborated with two Dj's: French London based Giom and Slovenian Alleged Witches.

The combinations were the focus; each person bringing their unique style, this natural melding deciding the genre without confines, guided by the Dj's understanding of what works in the club.

Sprinklings of nostalgia meet a future thinking fusion of dance music with a focus on slick production. There is a subject matter; not expressed through the contrived mind but through a subconscious sonic delivery, allowing the political nature of the music speak for itself.

of ethereal tunes as it is effective for any dance§oor. What
you’ll uncover across this release from this St. Petersburg
based producer is a traversing blend through IDM, Deep
House, DnB, and Techno through the lens of lush,
atmospheric soundscapes

Four high alert Cyborg nightmare files. Predictions of wars on hypergravity planet sectors in the distant future. Fullmetal Cyberspace. Errand messages from off-world vegetation. 'The mycelial body is as fragile as a spider's web but the collective hyper-mind and memory is a vast historical archive of the career of evolving intelligence on many worlds in our spiral star swarm'.

4 tracks of pounding dark Acid Techno that will light up any hard dancefloor with precision beats and strident 303's - with 2 phat trax from UK's Secret Hero and Rats On Acid, plus an acid builder from France's David Asko, and tough beats from France's Krismix.

During the last 5 years Herrensauna has become one of the most esteemed spaces of Berlin's queer underground. Showcasing a sound between experimental sonics and heavy techno in an open and intimate club setting, the collective has launched a batch with some of the most influential artists of the new generation of techno such as residents SPFDJ, Héctor Oaks and co-founders CEM and MCMLXXXV. With Tresor as their main home in a monthly basis, they have expanded their vision internationally with showcases at clubs around Europe and key appearances on Boiler Room as well as an upcoming Herrensauna Takeover with the 4 residents B2B to close the UFO1 stage of Dekmantel 2021.

Now Herrensauna are set to kick off their record label presenting music by the underground talents they have been supporting in a series of vinyl EPs. The first installment includes tracks by in-house resident Cadency aka Héctor Oaks, Copenhagen's Fast Forward member Sugar on the A side, and the duo of Peder Mannerfelt & Pär Grindvik aka Aasthma featuring London's Dale Cornish as well as Historical Repeater, the collaborative project of Copenhagen-based producers Ctrls and Solid Blake, on the B side. While on artwork duties is Berlin-via-Porto multidisciplinary artist Mauro Ventura who will create a painting for each release.

Solid Groove label boss Aubrey re issues his 1995 ep Ginger Biscuit with the track Ginger Biscuit which was mistakenly named Shimmer on Derick Mays Mix up 5 for Sony Japan, the other three tracks on the ep are classic dub techno at its best

Modularz welcomes Italian producers Conrad Van Orton & VSK who have both released a wealth of strong releases over the years. As fans of their sound Developer asked the two producers to create something special for Modularz and this is the result of that. The release contains 6 powerful techno cuts that will work perfectly in both the club or the warehouse.

Red Vinyl Limited Pressing

UX 002 A is looking at the link between how hard a kick drum can be without scaring people too much, a fine balance I believe. The B side does not have a kick drum. These two tracks are not good friends.

'Keep it Simple' is anything but, the atmosphere came from an early morning field recording in the departure lounge of Milan airport, the chatter and noise comes over as something almost alien and the melody came later after an alcohol soaked evening sitting by candlelight with friends, playing the piano. Despite it's multiple layers it has only one message - give trance a chance. 'At Last' is a more direct affair, with a classic call and response pattern, the 0-coast shouts aggressively at the microbrute and the microbrute responds with a howl not dissimilar to a lost whale calf calling for its mother.. either that or its just a banger.

Another phenomenal release on the already acclaimed Blumoog Music. Three tracks of absolute quality and pure energy. Mreux opens the project with ‘Radar’, an explosion of psycho-acid that will take you to a new dimension. ‘Deep Space’ is characterized by a powerful and mentally persuasive groove, a journey to the edge of the mind.

Scandinavian techno legend Joel Mull (Parabel , Drumcode, Hproductions) contributes with ‘Deep Space remix’. A very strong techno cut with a solid kick and relentless percussions, pure techno in form and beauty Limited edition coloured vinyl makes this release on Blumoog Music even more appealing. Don’t miss this episode as it will give you a taste on what’s to come in the near future.

Maurizio one of the founding members of Concrete Records drops 2 original tracks that bring us into hypnotic landscapes full of deep groove and abstraction.

Ethereal and strong at the same time, this tracks are made for being played in the most disparate dj sets both as regular "dj tools" and as real killer tracks.

To confirm this, the two Tensal remixes lead the release to even more extreme territories, without however deforming the "mood" of the tracks.

A perfect match for a release that has a well-defined and very powerful sound.

Limited edition of 150 copies

Emerging producer Patrick Conway delivers the goods on the second EP to be released on Art E-Fax.
E-FAX002 is a selection of submerged breaks, dark and spectral bass grooves and washed out melodies all combining to make release that is as eerie as it is infectious. A producer who describes his influences as being 'transcendental meditation, UK Rave, Sheffield bleep/Warp records, Carl Craig circa the early '90s, Silent Servant, Shabba Ranks and joss sticks smoking out the studio', it's not hard to hear the shadowy, dense smoke and heavy calm that unifies those inspirations.

NX Records is a collaboration between Matthew Herbert's Accidental Records and the Department of Music at Goldsmiths, University of London.

In May 2013, the label launched with an introductory mixtape and live performances as part of the Puregold Festival launch at the Southbank Centre. NX Records has continued to release new, critically acclaimed music, host numerous events and run an annual pop up record shop.

The label's mission statement is to create a new model for the music industry, connecting exciting talent from the renowned creative hub of Goldsmiths - and the wider community of South East London - with the ever-experimental Accidental Records.

Our aim is to build connections between emerging artists, education, the industry and audiences. NX is a professional label that works alongside, not in opposition with, DIY artists.

The first in our series of experimental split 12"s focuses on instrumental electronic music.

Goldsmiths student and modular wizard Sam Hostettler evokes a daydream meeting between Vangelis and Burial, with his impossibly lush synthscapes shot through with dubbed out percussion. Meanwhile, La Leif's blend of crunchy, electroacoustic techno and outernational field recordings should hit the spot for fans of Karen Gwyer or Shelley Prior.

NX12X is out on Feb 1, with a launch party at The Glove That Fits on Feb 14. Come grab a copy of the vinyl, and have a dance...

Following up on his highly anticipated debut tape from 2018, TAFKAMP returns and delivers INDRUKKEN II - an exciting trip through a selection of musical impressions from the Rotterdam-based artist. Limited edition tape run!

Tensal steps up for the next output on Cabrera. The EP is characterized by frantic synth lines, breaky percussion, and relentless kicks. This one's definitely dedicated to the rave.

Introducing new London label Premature Recordings, founded by Ben Galyas, focussing on 'progressive electronic music'.Obuscule is the debut release from South London based artist, homas9000. Two tracks, produced in early 2017 using modular synthesizers and DIY recording techniques: the meandering Veolia, all hazy reverberation and distortion; and the industrial Droid, with defunct drum machines, screeching pads and twisted breakdowns.

Kick off 2019 with In The Dark Again 11! This latest installment brings together 5 great tracks. The Bleak Engineers from St. Petersburg (Svetlana Zombierella and Alexander Moralez), lead the way with their irresistible groove and melancholic synth melodies on - Scientific Science'. Next up with a heavy hitter called - PTP' is Synkronized, the specialist in dark electronic sounds out of Russia. Coming in third on the A Side is a fascinating sinister baseline with a hypnotic build-up titled - Electronic Humming', produced by Pablo Dissko (born in Greece, living in Amsterdam).

The B-side keeps it rolling with Greek artist KSTS' wicked Electro on his vocoder-driven tune: - Three Hundred Dark Times'. Closing out the collection is Alavux (born in Serbia, living in Macedonia), another true Electro master delivering a banger called - Bender', that leaves absolutely no questions.

A testament to the growth of Adam Beyer’s scene-leading label, Drumcode annual A-Sides Vol.8 is the brand’s biggest yet.

The 25-track strong compilation, split across 7 EPs, features standout cuts Beyer has received over the last 12 months, but been unable to find room for in Drumcode’s regular release schedule, such is the volume and high standard of music that’s submitted.

Part 4 sees Juliet Fox provide the hypnotic ‘Was Beautiful’ with it’s spellbinding vocal samples, as Marco Bailey unshackles the trance-inducing ‘Haku’. The flip houses Tuscany’s Luca Agnelli with his glitching powerhouse ‘Apollo’ and Jay Lumen’s ferocious ‘Razor’.

The highlight-rich compilation also includes Jamie Jones & Darius Syrossian’s buzzy Drumcode debut ‘The Grid’, Nicole Moudaber’s first DC release in 5 years with the mesmerizing ‘This Is Us’, Will Clarke’s bass-drenched re-work of Adam Beyer & Bart Skils ‘Your Mind’ and Joey Beltram’s first Drumcode release in 11 years with the retro-tinged ‘Can You Feel It’.

The beloved Alan Fitzpatrick returns to the fold with the searing ‘Heiße Rakete’, while the exciting Hyperloop project links up with Upercent for the slinky loop-driven ‘Rouge’, alongside label mainstays Layton Giordani, who drops the stirring chord-driven ‘Chrome’ and Wehbba with ‘Mantra’, combining techno classicism with future-focused groove.

There’s a troupe of debutants donning the Drumcode jersey for the first time, including BEC, Shelley Johansson, Avision, Zimmz, Woo York, SAMA (in a terrific collaboration with Secret Cinema) and Ilija Djokovic, who delivers a shimmering highlight with ‘Aura’, a particular favourite of Beyer’s over the last year. Raxon also debuts on the label after a couple of quality additions to the Truesoul back catalogue.

Exciting young gun Weska brings heat to the compilation, while Veerus and Timmo follow up strong DC releases with a repeat dose. Elsewhere faithful contributors Ramon Tapia and Mark Reeve craft powerful dancefloor weapons.

Second release of five in the Kavalanic Languages series - three nautical house tracks by Bill Westerby.

Since then, he has released both new and archived material on labels such as ORGANIC ANALOGUE, CEJERO, CRISIS URBANA, EXOTIC ROBOTICS and many others. This EP marks the first release on his own label 'OTHER WORLD MUSIC' and features 5 tracks created recently by the producer which cover a broad range of styles, from Detroit house, downtempo ambient to futuristic sci-fi breakbeats.
