Techno Vinyl New Releases - News

Repress of long out of print Laurent Garnier 12” – originally released in 1993 on FNAC and Warp Records.

Finally after years of quality techno and music,Pushmaster Discs is proud to present the 20th release of the label with the label boss Mattia Trani and his solo EP.

This Time Mattia chosed a banging tune 'Time Struggle' with the first new school version, classic heavy techno beat with saturated 303 sub melodies and a futuristic pad to complete this version. The Old school version is more percussive acidic, no pad melodies, no compromises, just straight to the point for killing every dance floor.

In the B side there's a perfect rework from a dutch techno master Steve Rachmad as Sterac, more 909 clean beat rhythmic and minimal detroit infected. The last track 'Floating Life' is a typical Drum'n'Bass spirit influence of Mattia, 170 percussive beat with space pads typical of 90 jungle works in the UK.

As a hidden track on digital only 'Cyber Resurrection' is another killer track with an amazing mysterious sample from rave typical 90 stuff.

Happy 20th release Pushmaster Discs!

The mighty Truncate crash lands on Catz n’ Dogz’ Pets imprint with two outstanding slabs of forthright
techno tension. His first full single for the label, Truncate was last spotted aboard remixing KiNK way
back in 2015. Now he’s making up for lost time, thumping away relentlessly like two old mates who
haven’t caught up with each other in years.
‘Pressure’ takes the lead. Bouncy, stripped-back, pounding and riddled with Ovum-level acidic funk,
once you’re locked into Truncate’s loopy hypnosis, you may never escape. ‘Level Up’ does exactly
what its title suggests, too. Total rolling thunder with builds upon builds, there’s a sense of momentum
that elevates at every twist.
And if that’s not enough, Unknown 2 The Unknown bossman and fusionist king DJ Haus gets involved
with some prime remix real estate. Buckle up friends, the pressure is only just beginning to rise…

2000 AND ONE (aka Dylan Hermelijn) has been on the forefront of electronic dance music since the late eighties. His pioneering vision across more than two decades of music genres now ranks him as one of the most versatile, in-demand international artists, commanding weekly performances on the house, techno and tech-house global club and festival circuits.

Not only recognized as a magnet for the clubbing crowds, he is also credited for championing the sounds of Amsterdam's new school DJ and Producer generation and propelling the scene's visibility into the international club headlights with his six Amsterdam based labels, of which the oldest, 100% Pure, celebrated its 20-year anniversary in 2013.

Now 2000 and One strikes again with his cutting edge signature style presenting Kawasaki' EP, paying homage to the struggle for power within the samurai clans (1051-1063) in Japan, known as the battle of Kawasaki.

Title track Kawasaki', is a peak time Techno tune to slice the dance floor into pieces. The yet smoother solid groove of Organic' has an authentic Detroit Techno sound apt to building a set.

I am very excited to celebrate Terminal M's 20. anniversary this year! Whoooohooo!

For this reason there will be some Terminal M compilations coming out from our artist family. Please enjoy part 1 of the Terminal M - The Future compilation! (Monika Kruse)

Perc Trax's resident sonic explorer, modular innovator and all round Cornish bad boy Ansome returns to the label for his second album, following on from 2016's "Stowaway". Thankfully a move to Berlin a few years ago has not dulled or diluted his sound as he returns sharper and more focused than ever.

In the three years since "Stowaway" he has toured the world as a live act, a DJ and also with his collaborative performances with Perc. Away from clubs and festivals he has stirred up a hornet's nest on online opinion with his "British Steel" EP and continued to build up his own SLAM label into an essential source of uncompromising techno.

"Hounds Of The Harbour" extends the sonic reach of his debut album taking the Ansome sound simultaneously deeper but also harder. An expanded palette of textures are on display as razor sharp lead lines blend with cavernous spaces and tight rolling grooves. Early favourite "Copper" twists and turns across its arrangement refusing to ever just get locked into a monotonous groove whilst the title track and "Last Bottle" shows a melodic edge previously unseen in Ansome's work. The dancefloor is never left too far behind and the crunching beats of "Smuggler's Den" and "Hell For Leather". Always pushing forwards, never looking back "Hounds Of The Harbour" lays out the current Ansome sound whilst hinting at what is to come in the future.

We are happy to present the Terminal M debut of longtime friend Felix Kröcher, who's one of the leading techno djs from Germany, headlining festival after festival and convincing every week with his highly influential radio show on Sunshine Live.

Terminal M head honcha Monika Kruse is equally happy that shootingstar Victor Ruiz from Brasil found the time for an amazing remix which also Felix Kröcher played in his sets the whole summer.

Summer season just started and we're kickin' it off with a pack of quality cuts brought to you by Flashmob, Danny Serrano, Clio, Spencer K and Collective Machine: It sounds as good as it is. Flashmob's - Year 1993 is a deep organ tech tool that takes over big and small rooms alike, just made for peak time hours. Danny returns with Slate, a laidback track that hooks with tight snares and a locked groove. Next up are Spencer K and Collective Machine who joined forces for this release and we hope they're up to repeat it, since that's all where doing with Sonic Attitude and Hit that Way(Digital Only) . Clio completes the package and brings us some good summer vibes with I Need You , need anything else

kniteforce head honcho and all round oddball Luna-C drops an eclectic remix EP, featuring tracks spanning his entire 3 decade career. Shoreman takes “Bomb Da Bassline” and makes it as mad as you might expect from the mastermind behind “On The Edge”. Success’n’Mistreat meanwhile is remixed back to the early 90’s sound of MARRS and that sample heavy era. The Wislov remix of “Edge Of Madness” is perhaps the standout, being a classic anthem remixed into an even more formidable style, and the EP is rounded off by KF newcomer Dj Beeno, who takes the obscure “Hurricane” and blows it away…

For the label's second release, ONNE records bring new artist Soko with his Outer soul EP and darker Techno style.

On the A side "Outer soul" and "Inner soul" create powerful, dark and trippy Techno tracks.

On the B, Because of Art have put together a deep-rolling remix of "Outer soul"

Three tracks in keeping with ONNE records atmospheric and powerful vibe.

Exciting new producer Yves Tomas releases on Rekids with ‘Pilot EP’ this May - a bold and versatile debut release exhibiting the artist’s broad range of influences.

Hailing from London but with roots in Bristol, Yves Tomas is a producer, vocalist and DJ brought up in the centre of UK club music. Since experimenting with music through his childhood and early teens he’s gone on to become an engineer, working in studios alongside some of the biggest names in grime and pop music. This has led to him developing his own unique style of electronic music as a reactionary expression to working in the meat grinder culture of mainstream music. He now joins Radio Slave
Rekids - a label known and respected for discovering many luminary figures in electronic music.

With its otherworldly melody and echoing effects, ‘Braindead’ is a downtempo track that remains beatless until the halfway mark, moving onto the beautifully arranged ‘MA1’ with its reverb-drenched breaks, quivering synths, and ever-evolving chopped and looped vocals. ‘River’ then incorporates elements of grime and jungle courtesy of its lively stabs, soulful chords and compelling rhythm built on punchy percussion. Taking things into a spiritual direction, Elephant & Snake’ meanders forward using
syncopated drums, washy chants and elevating organ keys before ‘Callout FM’ follows with its rattling snares, twisted arpeggios, and crystalline pads.

Nearing the end, ‘Pilot’ is a stripped-back affair with sporadic kicks, a fuzzy bassline, and vocoder vocals until digital bonus track ‘Birds Of The Barbican’ ties everything together by generating an uplifting atmosphere destined to elevate revellers for many years to come.

The idea of this records came out of a book called The Metamorphosis of Plants, written by Goethe in the 18th century. I was also triggered by a greek friend, who explained me the etymology of the world ""metamorphosis"", that is such an interesting greek concept.
""I cannot tell you how readable the book of nature is becoming for me: my long efforts at deciphering, letter by letter, have helped me; now all of a sudden it is having effect, and my quiet joy is inexpressive."" - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe to Charlotte von Stein, 1786

Emerging from the epic Scottish house and techno scene of the 90s, George Thomson started his musical adventures as a promoter, bringing to Scotland DJs from Chicago, New York, Toronto, Paris and London to play at the legendary Tribal Funktion parties in Edinburgh.

Aside from co-founding Edinburgh's Underground Solushn record shop, he also started producing his own blend of techno and house in the mid-nineties. This led to a string of releases with seminal labels such as NRK, Stickman, 2020 vision, Crosstown Rebels, Tirk and more recently Greco-Roman and Output Recordings. His various monikers from then and now include Plastic Avengers, George Demure and more recently the George part of of Jeanga and George.

After a move to London in 2000 his George T moniker began a long hiatus. Nothing was heard until Joe Goddard released an EP of rediscovered hidden gems on Greco-Roman in 2017. This awoke the fire within and he’s back today with the first new George T material in 19 years.

The Midway EP was recorded in North London over a period of 2 years, using only analog gear and embracing memory, movement and the moment. These four tracks are a love letter to club life, both then and now. This love is best demonstrated with the four accompanying short films using either nightclub footage from 1996, slow motion lido footage or Bauhaus triadic ballet inspired time lapse choreography.

Code Is Law founder Mørbeck launches his new Low Life Club imprint in late May, welcoming fast-rising talent Hadone to deliver his five-track EP ‘They Will Come’ whilst also remixing the title cut.

Berlin born producer and DJ Mørbeck has been involved in the city’s rich techno scene for over a decade, releasing music via Planet Rhythm and Vault Series plus remixes on Perc Trax and Soma. Having launched Code Is Law in 2013, featuring material from the likes of Under Black Helmet and Sawf alongside his own productions, here we see the arrival of a new project dubbed as Code Is Law’s ‘little cheeky brother’ as he welcomes Brussels based French artist Jeremy Bonnet aka Hadone to launch Low Life Club following his recent stand out ‘Defining Persuasion’ EP Taapion Records, plus further releases on Ravage and Grounded.
The up-front ‘Hatefull Peepshow’ opens proceedings with authority as Bonnet fuses hard-hitting kicks with skipping hats, warped vocals and resonant bass patterns, whilst title cut ‘They Will Come’ keeps the pace high as hypnotic synths and bright rave stabs guide the track’s frenzied yet coordinated energy. Next, ‘Wade The Revenge’ introduces soaring synth leads amongst sharp, metallic production licks and regimented drum arrangements, before label boss Mørbeck’s ‘interpretation of ‘They Will Come’ injects a slice of groove and funk as he combines bumping low ends and slick organic percussion shots.

Marreck is Michael Hann, a musician based out of Teesside and also runs the label Reject and Fade. Hann also records under the Rejections moniker, with releases on his own label as well as Opal Tapes and Tesla Tapes to name just a few. His release for Alien Jams takes a deranged journey through harsh industrial textures, creating a visceral rush through ever shifting tensions.

Bart Skils returns to Drumcode with his third solo release, 'Shadowprint'. Consisting of Bart's famous rolling drums and bass rhythms he has crafted an EP that is exceptionally functional. With each track Bart has added character by introducing vocals, interesting melodies and deep percussion to keep it interesting.

The EP is made up of 3 peak time tracks that are eloquently put together. 'My Part Of Town' is a bit deeper from Bart and contrast's well to the rest of the EP with it's melodic bass line.

Fresh off his recently released X Years in London film soundtrack, Braiden returns to both his label and the dancefloor for Off Out's 4th single and one of his most energetic releases to date.
V.O.L.A.T. is a bold, metallic juggernaut, twisting through sonic labyrinths over its ten minute duration. At once direct and amorphous, the track plays with the foreboding and the gentle, with organic and metallic sounds intertwining with imposing resolve.Hydroplane resides on the flip side of this release, a relentless jacker with juddering pitched toms working their way through chromium chords and disembodied cavernous vocals. A pacey showcase of tension and release to synergise with the perpetual motion of the dancefloor.
Artwork by Braiden, released on 12" vinyl and digital via Off Out.

Spanish DJ and producer Psyk returns to his own NON Series with 'Opal Lake'. This 40th release on the imprint and also the first release of 2020 is a stellar four track techno pack including a collaboration with fellow Spanish producer Architectural.

Opening track 'Biting Nails' sees a new studio collaboration between the two Spanish techno legends. It's a deep and emotive jam showing a surprisingly melodic side of both producers. Title track 'Opal Lakes' is the most powerful outing on the EP, fierce and driving rhythms melting into hazy atmospheres. With its crispy snares 'Bell Tair' flips the energy with an on-point minimalistic percussion workout where 'Outline' and its deep drums acidic riffs drags you below see level into a bright and lively underwater world.

What Ixindamix says !

"I’m extremely proud to present my new album “The Underground Tree” the first for over 10 years is out on 23rd May !

The title comes from a line in “Reserve the Right” – “We are family, I’ve got my possee and me, we’re fruit from the underground tree” the last track on the album, a rambling rap covering many subjects from climate change to data collection all written under the influence of a heavy hangover, where I foolishly decided it would be a good idea to get back on the mic. You can read more about that here …..

Also featuring on the album are Sim Simmer, Scallywag and Roberta Carrieri on vocals. From Bass House to Drum & Bass with a twist of Acid, Breakbeat, Ghetto, Garage and Swing, these 10 tracks are to be released on a double vinyl album available at the end of May. You can hear the megamix below.

Family is one of the most important things to us, whether it be blood or our larger sound system families, tribes or crews. They are the people that mean the most to us and make our everyday lives the best they can be. This album is dedicated to them all friends and fans the world over xxxx.

With its fourth catalogue number, Steinlach returns to the vinyl format with a remix EP. On board are international friends of the label, who layed hands on Wice's originals with outstanding re- interpretations. While the A-side contains two groovy and club-oriented remixes of "Just kiddin", the trippy flipside focuses on the second outcome of the label and refers to the two pieces "Absent" and "Hertz".

The record opens with a fast-paced and jacking "Just Kiddin" version by Deep'a and Biri. The two guys from Tel Aviv re-interprate the clubby aspect of the piece, furnish it with a portion of percussions and accompany it with a volatile beat. Discharging the track with a big bang, they're leaving the listener with no chance but to move energetically to the groove patterns while cherishing the original lead melody.

Just like Deep'a and Biri, Jon Hester bets on the energy and the recognition value of the original synth line. As typical for Jon, he gives a more Chicago-style housey and bouncy touch to the composition. The lead is getting chopped, re-interpreted and re-arranged into a new groove and melody pattern, sure to inspire the floor to shake and to catapult everyone around into a frisky dancing mood. Suddenly, the well-known arpeggio of the original comes in and makes for the climax of this brilliant remix.

With side B, the club aspect of the record might not be left behind, but moved into more stripped and trippy terrains. The B1 track is fashioned as a ruthless "Absent" version, unmistakably having Refracted's writing all over it. The smallest variations of the synth line, drones, and pads, without resorting to typical drum rack aspects, find their way deep inside the listener's head, and draw them into their subtle rhythm. The unapologetic roughness of the interpretation is striking and makes it a brilliant peaktime weapon.

Rounding up the whole EP, the last remix of the record is a wonderful re-interpretation by the talented Australian that is Mosam Howieson. He ministered to Wice's personal favourite piece and crafted a loving and deep version of "Hertz", which translates the magic of the original into own words and emotions, adds a subtle groove to it, then invites to listen more carefully. One quickly dives into a hopeful world in which a certain magic seems to be present, and where everything seems to be alright. Be it as a perfect last piece after a long fulfilling evening, or as the outstanding means to make the sun rise in the morning-Mosam's interpretation sure hits the spot.

Special thanks go out to our close friends Simon Sandleitner who is always in charge of the great artworks and Roger Reuter (Roger23) for having always an open ear, his helpful advises and his thought-out criticism.

Jorden Hodgetts (aka Cleric) is back on Clergy with a powerful solo EP. Opening with the high tempo track "Angel of Death", a creative paradigm of vocals layered over rolling chords, and piercing atmospheres.

Leading into "Luddite", a track that brings another type of energy. Suited to desolate warehouse spaces, Jorden really starts to paint a picture to the 19th Clergy release.

"Acid Reflux" takes control of the B1. Distorted 303 acid lines and focused drums are paired with a subtle mystical vocal.

The final track of the EP "Pretty Poison" draws your attention towards the twisted synth stabs, while keeping momentum through the driven drums that Cleric has been know for over the years.

High Mobility Weapons Unit manoeuvres into an attacking formation on the imprint's fourth mission, the 'Foreign Object Debris EP'. The four-tracker is focussed around lo-fi discordant synths,
roomy bell stabs and stripped down percussive patterns. Mastered by Steve @ Black Monolith Studios.

For the 20 years of Terminal M I am happy to present some special releases this year.

Luca Morris & Mozzy Rekorder deliver us a great techno version of the longtime house classic „Gypsy Woman“. Since last year this version ruled every set of mine. (Monika Kruse)

Tresor Records is pleased to welcome Minimal Violence to the label, starting with the first chapter in a series of three records entitled DESTROY ---> physical REALITY psychic <--- TRUST to be released during the next 12 months. At the furthest edges of their idiosyncratic brand of ferocious hardware techno, this first EP, Phase One, reveals the Vancouver duo to be expertly out on a limb. Mirroring the explosive cut and thrust of their live sets, their recorded output extends a metaphysical rave.
Throughout, Ash Luk and Lida P cut their cinematic melodies into a clattering rave hole, unceasingly revising the gravitational pull in each direction. Ravebomb finds a route of no-nonsense with its unhinged endorphin rush of surging EBM style bass and rough-handed rhythms. It is followed up by an alternate version of Ravebomb, the Fire Mix, which casts its elements into a heady psychoactive cloud on a collision course with its kick drum.
Glimpses of a rhythmic waywardness coat Perfect Rendition, full of tape tics and wobble, with a push to 90s UK, beat experimentations and the pull of arching hookworms.
Closing out the EP is The Next Screen Is Death, with a dystopian 80s wave sound, where short snippets of sampled mush imbue disturbed synth stabs, while arpeggiated basses drive with momentum a feverous descent in tandem with trance-echoing melodies.

Steel City Dance Discs Volume 14 hits with three strong doses of Aloka and a boneshaking remix from Jensen Interceptor.
Experience it all in this psycho-electro jaunt. Moments of twisted ambience with strung out lysergic chords quickly flare up into swells of stark breaks, distorted synth rushes and clouds of techno paranoia.
The B-side is laced with an active Jensen Interceptor Blue Suede Rave agent – perfect for those that seek something more and don’t mind the hard side FX. Buy the record, take the ride!
