Techno Vinyl New Releases - News

Mint Condition - The record label focused on excavating the outer fringes of classic House and Techno. Unreleased mixes, classics and overlooked gems mined from the last 20+ of contemporary dance music are the order of the day. From Chicago, Detroit and New York to London, Coydon and beyond, Mint Condition have got their expert digging hats on to bring you exclusive heat and those rarer than rare jams that have been on your wants list for years! Dig in....

Frisk - A shortlived, late 90's project brought to you by the team of Terry Francis, Jiten Acharya & Gideon Jackson, all active members of South London's infamous SWAG & Eye 4 Sound crews. Having only one 3 track 12" to their name, Frisk delivered this much sought after and coveted EP of sleek tech-house grooves on the aforementioned cult Eye 4 Sound label in 1997. If stripped back, funked-up and bass heavy jams are your thing then you need to check the absolute roller that is 'Peeking', a bottom end pleasing, acid churning percussive monster with all the trippiness you could hope for. 'Stabbed' on the B-side almost foretells some of the futuristic bassline pressure that would eventually emanate from Croydon only a few years later, it's not straight house or techno, it's an electronic steppers sound-system killer! The EP finishes with 'Just Don't', a garage-esque jam with delayed claps and stacks of funk, the track builds and builds and recalls the fractured machine soul of Detroit or the broken beat stylings of the West London mob. Sure, these jams all have varying influences, but they stand alone in their originality and sounds as fresh today, in 2019, as they did in 1997! A proper rare London record right here. No snoozing!

This EP has been legitimately re-released with the full involvement of Terry Francis and all license holders for 2019 and remastered by Bristol's Optimum Mastering from the original sources especially for Mint Condition. 100% legit, licensed and released. Dug, remastered, repackaged and brought to you by the caring folks at your favourite reissue label - Mint Condition!

Active since the early 1990s, the Master of Rave Ceremonies Olivier Abbeloos of T99, lands on Pls.UK with a rave oriented 4-track EP.

The man behind the timeless tune "Anasthasia'" comes back! First in the ceremony, "Deliver" fuses rich synths and melancholic pads with the producers' signature fast paced drums, leaving no rest for the wicked. The darker tone of the second track "Twisted Driver" sets the tone into full energy.

Next up, "Torture" combines a heavy-hitting rhythm with an ever-escalating bassline that peaks into an acid mood. Perfect tune to end a set "The Sleeper Must Awake" brings the vibe directly to the 90s era and closes the EP with high energy and nostalgia.

In November of 2016 Ray Kajioka released his new album "Consistency", the second LP from the Berlin-based techno artist. The 11 track release follows 2014's "En Route" and will be released on Heiko Laux's label Kanzleramt, a label with which Kajioka has worked with closely for over a decade.

Consistency LP bears all the marks of a Kajioka release: a collection of deep, driving, groove-laden and synth-focused cuts. Heady grooves which leave little question why Ray Kajioka is held in such high regard among techno veterans, called upon regularly for remix honours by the the likes of Heiko Laux, Joel Mull, Pan-Pot, Elbee Bad, Alexander Kowalski and Marc Romboy, to name but a few. Kajioka's reputation for faultless production remains consistent on this, his sophomore LP.

Without using too many words, our aim is to continue to create the impossible. Here we have the stable debut of Roman Poncet on ARTS.Cardiopathy Alert: Robert Hood and Psyk on the B side

Shine Grooves is a multifaceted artist, and this second record for Kimochi Sound explores two sides of that personality. The delicate, introspective, expressive precision of After All, DPS v55, and Secret move from sublime resignation to summery exuberance to a kind of earnest meditation. On the other side, collaborations with X343 yield a more extroverted approach: spontaneous mutations turn rolling grooves into unpredictable improvisational explorations.

"Beeboo" closes out with clunky metallic hits and detuned piano chords that make for a fresh vision of future techno.

A devotion to extensive research of the history of club wear has been at the forefront of MISBHV’s design philosophy, since its founding in 2015 by creative director Natalia Maczek. Exploring the intersection of fashion and the 90’s underground the Poland-based collective with previous ties to Maison Martin Margiela, Balenciaga and Antwerp’s Royal Academy of Arts paint a landscape of roughness, fun, nostalgia and futurism in a subversive marriage of fashion and music.

A dead calm had invaded the night. The temple's music and the perfumes had already faded in the air. I arrived at the oasis in the dark of night, standing in soft, fresh sand. Finding myself in a kingdom of silence. Sotis had just made its appearance in the sky and was showing itself timidly to the world.

Fascinated with the sight, I once again started thinking about my unknown origins and the reason why I, Kalila, was at that place at that moment. A memory. The Priestess at Hathor's temple. The glass flask. I put my hand in the pocket of my tunic and with surprise found a small flask filled with a red liquid. My head started throbbing wildly, eyes closing for the pain and the priestess's bright face appeared in my mind telling me

"Drink and you'll come to life again."

I drank. Feeling my body slipping and melting with the sand underneath. A vortex of feelings and memories wrapping itself around me. I knew who I was. I knew what I had to do. Akhet had finally come.

Early support from Ness, Svreca, Oscar Mulero, TM404 and Takaaki Itoh.

Inner Surface Music are proud to present their new release from ANFS.

'Blood Trophy' cracks and fizzles with bass frequencies modulating around hypnotic snake like numinous drum structures. Eerie atmospheres add to the tension of this deep and powerful opener to the EP.

'VPA' has a shamanic feel to the way the drums lift you and meander throughout the track. Dark and heavy in dynamics, with distortion and precision, the grainy textures add to the final sinister mindset of this trance like journey to a ritual unknown.

'VPA' (Honzo A.D.H.D Remix). Honzo deconstructs the original drums and rebuilds them with a hard-core feel of early electronica. Acid baselines and ethereal pads take this track to the other side, dark and menacing but remaining euphoric, a true representation of the Honzo sound.

'Zevra' closes the EP with dark, power electronics, a real insight into the kaleidoscope of sound that ANFS emerges himself in. Techno, noise, experimental and punk world's collide in harmony...

Mastered by Simon at The Exchange / Artwork by Ajna

Early support from Marcel Dettmann, Len Faki, Developer, Newa, Jeroen Search, Pfirter, James Ruskin, Michael Wolski, AWB, Svreca, Inland, Exium, Setaoc Mass, Yotam Avni, Thomas Hessler, Benjamin Mull, Hyndrangea, Juho Kusti, Nima Khak,

Form and Function presents the second outing in their FORM series. A series that focusses on the more deep and transcendent side of the techno spectrum. Movement I contains 3 original tracks and one remix starring freshman Atis and pretty well-known duo Cassegrain.

Movement I starts with 'Ismene', a slow but progressive and dubby techno piece that is filled with deep northern and tribal influences. The variety of different sounds fill up the eerie landscape, assisted by a range of subtle percussive elements.

Entheogen goes a notch faster in tempo without compromising on atmosphere. It's a tearjerker of a track that with an emphasizing sub-bass that flawlessly grows into a bleepy sonic adventure.

On the B-side, we get 2 pieces that are in stark contrast with the A-side. 'Samael' lifts off with a lot of pulsing energy, transferring into a deep sound that sets the mood for the complete track. The reverberating pads and percussion really drive the track forward thanks to some intelligent panning and programming.

As a final piece there's the Cassegrain remix of Samael. Unfalsified power techno that keeps hinting to the deep sounds of the original track, poured into a body of perfect harmonics and playing the mind with rhythmic repetition.

AE presents two 12"s of rhythmic hypnosis from the eXquisite CORpsE related project, XqST (Robbert Heijnen and Debbie Jones).
AE logic symbols that stand for "For All" and "There Exists" is a deep and meditative journey moving further into the more abstract territories that Robbert and Debbie previously explored with eXquisite CORpsE.

Most of the material on the record is selected from improvisations Robbert and Debbie recorded in their home studio in Vancouver, BC during 2003, except for "SDLY" which was recorded in the Netherlands in 1996.

The material came about naturally, mixing previously collected loops and sounds with improvisations and manipulations on further electronic equipment. During the time of these recordings, Robbert and Debbie would put their kids to bed and retreat to their home studio, where making noise together was a way to relax.

These eight tracks are a coherent document of the free-flowing experimentation and musical symbiosis shared between Robbert and Debbie. Created for each other, now to be shared.

Giovanni Carozza to debut on Sam Paganini's JAM imprint with Spectrum EP

Michal Wolski joins Kynant with a diverse, four-track EP of hyper-detailed techno. ‘Back Entry’ and ‘Inferior Representation’ are peak time cuts with hypnotising touches. On ‘Bathyscaphe’ and ‘Wanderer’, Wolski explores more a melodic, atmospheric direction.

Music Man celebrates its 30th birthday with a limited series of special coloured vinyl, containing 2 classic tracks that were important in the labels history.
Up next are are 'Upiter' by T-Quest (MM025, 1996) and the Minneapolis Mix of Secret Cinema's classic 'Timeless Altitude' (MMSPEC03, 1996).

Stroboscopic Artefacts celebrate five years in business with a series of special anniversary releases, featuring selected artists from the SA story-so-far who have strongly shaped the label's identity. In 'Drowned By Sight', Rrose sets the tone for the record with a deep and twisting take on club techno. A thick, low-end groove rolls out at unhurried pace, and widescreen, hissing synths fill the high-end. The track's brilliance lies in its tense, narrative arrangement: a five-minute, detailed climb followed by euphoric release as the drums fade away. Perc's 'Tri-City' is a more direct assault on the dancefloor. The kicks pump like pistons, held together by weighty sub bass, cymbals and claps. The defining feature, though, is the haunting piano keys that emerge in the breakdown. Set against the harsh textures Perc is known for, the keys sound especially vivid and transcend the track beyond standard peak-time fare. Flip the record to find Pfirter's exceptional 'Atman'. This track comes from the more reserved end of Pfirter's discography, deriving its impact from titanic sound design rather than brute muscle. The concise range of elements interact both tonally and rhymically to create a masterful piece of music that's fit to move both body and mind. Irish duo Lakker provide the closing track, 'Pier'. In typical style, they re-imagine classic IDM influences into something totally unique, where mangled vocals sit amongst eerie atmospheres and drones. Skipping along way above traditional techno tempo, 'Pier' is the most experimental offering on this record, and represents a key part of the Stroboscopic sound. 'V - Five Years Of Artefacts - Chapter One' provides a well-rounded snapshot of what Lucy's label has explored since its conception.

For the second release on Snowflake Soundtracks we introduce the mysterious Lineal. All three tracks in his Static EP share the same hypnotic stride towards a distant universe of atmospheric soundscapes and unfolding synth patterns. A masterful composition that already sounds like a classic.

DJ Richard's first release of 2019 sees him drop four invigorating electro tracks on Flexxseal titled "Eraser".

Emerging from the Providence noise scene, DJ Richard forges a path of disciplined selectiveness as a producer and DJ with his idiosyncratic style allowing him to make impressive, self-assured connections between 80s EBM, new beat and Italo disco, electro, techno and "post-minimalist" house. DJ Richard's feral approach evolved from the roots of his White Material imprint which quickly achieved cult status after early releases from himself and co-founders Galcher Lustwerk and Young Male.

As a solo artist, DJ Richard continues to push the boundaries of his talent and influences reflected in his two utterly distinctive and bewitching albums released in alliance with influential German electronic label, Dial. "Eraser" sees him join up with fellow American Christopher Joseph and his Flexxseal imprint as DJ Richard masterfully maintains his skill in propagating ephemeral and raw sounds with his aptitude for electronic body control.

"Critical Damage" kicks things off with resilient oscillations fused beautifully with angelic leads and thudding percussion reflecting a post-punk aesthetic while "Eraser" delivers tough, acidic swirls undulating beneath sharp, broken grooves and growling undertones.

On the flip, a slow, chugging drum sequence balanced with haunting modulations and machine-like vibrations that echo throughout take the focus in "His Threshing Floor" before "Casca's Theme" concludes the EP with meandering, robotic synth flutters and distorted bass resonations driven by hypnotic rhythms and world-ending atmospheres in this powerful electro cut.

Inner Surface Music is proud to present the next release from Endlec.

The talented Greek producer has been cementing his name in the techno scene over the past 6 years with his own take of raw sounding techno.

`Stronger Than Fear´ kicks the EP off with its tough and infectious groove. This is classic techno with a modern touch, sharp stripped percussion plays with the syncopated stab and melodic sequence for pure dance floor tension. `Strictly Havoc´ is a more distorted affair the distorted kick plays with the percussion feeling loose and scatty to create swing against the twisted and demented melodies of the synth line.

`SKG Electrik´ - this is Endlec showing how simplicity can destroy any dance floor. Tight rhythmic percussion and heavy kick drum meander and slip along the surface while the stab is only adding to the momentum and pressure of this steam train.

`SKG Electrik´ (Makaton Cordyceps Remix) - to close the ep we have a remix from one of the original UK techno innovators, Makaton. The remix starts with a hypnotic passage of endlec´s original stabs rearranged into something more psychedelic and spaced out. In true Makaton form we drop into a deep and dark driving section of stripped back drums before melting into the hypnotic stabs to crescendo as we slowly dissolve away into the darkness.

"RICE" is the party continued over 10 years in club MAGO, Nagoya organized by Tanukeep and G, met in
Berlin. Calling authentic and trusted guests like "Zip", "Sammy Dee", "Daniel Bell", RICE will finally starting
the vinyl label. First release will be the E.P composed by Goemon, a very close friend of both Tanukeep and G,
who lives in Nagoya. Included 2 tracks are all based on the grooves made by Roland legendary drum machine
"TR-606". Kept minimal and nicely composed with HOUSE music mannered bass and synthesizer. A-side is
simple and modern but rigid minimal track which strongly appeals the groove. Deep and "in to" taste track on
B-side. Both tracks express the party image and history of RICE. Indeed, this product success to package their
party it self. RICE will be continued releasing "Floor Like" records for club oriented people, with true and pure
insistence of their own style.

* This is the seventh Surgeon album.

* "While exploring new production techniques using old and unlikely hardware, the results were so unusual that I really had the sense that these pieces of equipment didn't actually create these sounds, rather they were in fact some kind of elaborate reception device that allowed me to tune into transmissions from Distant Galaxies. The music I could hear was actually the received transmissions of Pop Hits from those Distant Galaxies that were being played on their radio stations.
I quickly recorded all that I could before losing the transmission.

* I consulted with Dr Andrew Read, the astrophysicist with whom I recorded Guitar Treatments in 1999. He has worked on the discovery of the most distant galaxies and astronomical objects in the Universe. Together we came up with a possible list of where these musical transmissions may have come from."

One day VRIL sat down in his station and suddenly a Portal opened. Thru a kind of timehole infinitive moments passed by. Luckily he was able to capture a few of those to share with us. The Portal closed. Nothing was left, no questions.. only this LP.

Well Street start the new decade with a fresh various artists EP - introducing yet more exciting talent on the label in the form of Box 5ive, Keppel, Henry Greenleaf and Formant Value - ranging from mind bending DJ tool to deep modular hypnosis trip.
