Techno Vinyl New Releases - News

Digital Rain Systems hail from Winnipeg and their music presents a perfect halfway point between the lounged-out house of Vancouver and the more ethereal beats bubbling up from Montreal. The project started as a way for Cole Woods and Jory Hasselmann, both members of the band Human Music, to explore their budding love for house, techno and ambient music. The result—simply titled "Vol 1."— sounds like a duo discovering decades' worth of electronic music all at once. They list Larry Heard, 808 State and Windham Hill Records as influences for a sound that skirts the edges of classic techno, dusty house, dub, electro and New Age music. Those might be standard influences these days, but Digital Rain Systems put them together in a far from standard way. Woods and Hasselmann’s recording techniques stay true to their live music roots: recorded off-the-cuff in a single take straight to tape from a BOSS mixer. The songs are built around samples and fastened to heavy, bucking basslines and twinkly chords that come from their modest collection of hardware. It's a rough-and-tumble sound that recalls the early work by Canadian acts like D. Tiffany and Aquarian Foundation but is very much their own. Take the plunge on this adventurous spread of audio. You’ll be glad you did

Banging Ganez Hard techno music !!

Mark du Mosch returns to Pinkman, after his debut EP The Red Hour back in 2016. Magneto takes you on a rollercoaster ride from an industrial factory workout to a soulful frenzy and back. Filled with heavy, borderline tribal rhythms intertwined with glitchy loops and spacey melodies, it's a vortex into a dreamlike state where the routine is the villain and the practice of discipline unfolds into the liberation of creativity. And all given groove Mark du Mosch's style.

Welcome to the seductive groove of Nonetheless, a new duo formed of Florian Bocksrucker and Felix Bergleiter, and the first LP on Neubau. Across four sides of vinyl Nonetheless deliver an intriguing mixture of tough dystopian midnight-drive soundtracks and transporting early electronic/musique-concrète-hybrid interludes. Nonetheless is the sound of cogs turning, churning melancholy and pulsing snake-charmer drum machine palpitation. The end result is catharsis through sinister journeying. From the near-acidic punch of 'Machine of Love and Hate', to the grandiose slow-motion of 'Epik' and the ravey 'Exclusion Zone', Nonetheless' debut record is something special to savour, and is proudly presented as the tenth release on Neubau.

Special collaboration between Libertine Records- and the legendary Isophlux-Label, 5 dope-unreleased Tracks founded by Gosub in old Dats... Anthem Alert!

Time Lapse is out May 8th on 180 gram transparent forest green vinyl and compact disc.

A must for fans of artists such as GAS, Explosions in the Sky, or Bioshpere's earlier deep works.

Time Lapse is the 7th proper album from Bradford UK based worriedaboutsatan and third since the project has returned into a solo effort by Gavin Miller. Time Lapse is also the project's first album for North American emotional electronics stable n5MD.

For well over a decade, worriedaboutsatan has effortlessly nurtured a muzzled amalgamation of ambient, techno, and post-rock. The project is a go-to for its adaptation of dark, slow-churning, humanistic techno. Labyrinthine guitars, swelling 303s, and deep pulsing 808s all are utilized in the satan arsenal to realize some of the murkiest forward-moving soundscapes of the last decade. Time Lapse is quintessential worriedaboutsatan, filled with sprawling slow-burn arrangements bathed in velvety reverb tails.

Currently causing a stir with their tracks that sit coquettishly astride the House/Techno divide, Super Rhythm Trax welcomes Black Girl / White Girl to the family.

“5XXXI” will delight fans of stripped back and bleepy, raw minimal funk, sounding like an updated and three dimensional version of Detroit’s DBX whilst oozing it’s own personality.

On remix duties Luca Lozano and DJ Steve step up and twist the track around, creating an ode to Sheffield, channelling bleeps and bass in a manner that could easily have seen this release sitting comfortably alongside purple sleeved classics in 1990.

Peacefull techno Tribe acid... mental and full of hidden melodies.. a superb record, once again !

The label has the honor to welcome in its ranks the one who could be compared to a centurion, the greatest in charge in the Roman Army. With more than a decade of experience behind him and which has dictated the aesthetic canons of a genre, Lykos Records presents Ness and his EP "Memento".

In this sonic adventure Ness delves into the most hidden and dark ravines of memory. In a succession of allegorical scenes, dystopian premonitions and powerful evocative sounds "Memento", focuses his attention on memory and how much it is fundamental, both as a psychic function of assimilation, as well as for processing data in order to learning.

The EP opens with the track that gives the name to the work "Memento", which immediately wraps the listener with the deep bass sound and through a wise use of the pads and synths kidnaps his mind. When body and mind have reached the perfect union, "Bionic Harp" comes into, breaking these balances, with the body undergoes through a pressing groove and the psyche intent on the perception of a harp melody, which echoing far away like a vague foggy memory.

The B-side begins with a Utopian and almost catastrophic vision that "System Failure" paints, through scratching and repetitive sounds, alarming and catapulting the listener into a dark and distressful nightmare. To conclude and restore calm in this comings and goings of dreams and memories, Deepbass's adaptation of "Bionic Harp", which highlights the dreamlike atmospheres, creating a sound landscape rich of air and light.

High Mobility Weapons Unit heads to an unmarked munitions stockpile to re-equip and upgrade on the imprint's fifth release. The EP's A-side delivers two cuts with looped synths that revolve around foundational drum patterns. On the reverse, the tempo shifts up to 140bpm with locked-in synth layers and spacey bleeps. Mastered by Steve @ Black Monolith Studio.

New release by one of Berlin’s most unique and long standing producers. Patrick Stottrop’s activities are at the heart and foundation of Berlin’s Techno sound, active since 1996 and founder of Zhark Recordings, he’s been pushing and challenging the definition of dance music since it’s inception.
On this release we find the title track “Legeia” as well as the tracks “Die Erwartung” and “Richmond”, taken from The Garden of Time LP recoding session from 2019. These 3 tracks set the prevailing mood for 2 subsequent cuts, “Horus” and “Sorcerer”. While Richmond follows a more andante direction “Legeia” presents a unique combination of drones engulfed in a wild & hectic Technoid percussive Inferno. “Die Erwartung” on the other hand might resemble in its overall mood the Rheingold Prelude (in a higher register) with its drone like strings layer build up. wHILE “Horus” and “Sorcere” are recent tracks form KAREEMs current live set and were recently arranged to fit into the EP format. Both tracks build on static percussive hostility and climax towards their middle parts to an overall acoustic orgy of reverberating string strikes and high-pitched drone oscillations. An over all grand addition to his continuously growing and ecstatic catalog.

Original soft boy Larry shoots out lemon water on SH006 and welcomes a side of Cocktail Party Effect remix gobble. The Kauz EP sounds rushed but some sonic aesthetics have been considered. Particularly where 'bleak' and 'digital' are married with 'uplifting' and 'personal' themes. All considered, swinging fists and other beaters are present in the form of drums that help take the edge off. Cocktail's Party Effect doesn't hurt too much until you stick it up really loud but don't lose yourself - you are just another human after all.

Really serious sh**t developed by 4 Chicago prodigies, for the first of our compilation called " The Spacy Saga".

We have the honour to welcome the Dublin based Doug Cooney. Doug Cooney drops his EP, "Claim A Wake" on Eternal Friction Records, containing three original tracks and a remix by no other artist than Jon Hester. The result is a powerful EP, that clearly demonstrates Doug's unique and personal approach to contemporary techno. The balance between the rolling drums and the uplifting percussion are capable of bringing listeners into a certain state of mind. The warm and melodic synths fit perfectly into many layers of each track. Although these tracks are all fairly different from each other, they are all produced in the same effective and delicate style. They make for an interesting EP, reason enough to follow this promising artist every move from now on.

NC008 see's the return of Navy Cut's debut release artist - Leo James. Presenting two incredible dub-techno inspired slow burners, featuring the mesmerising and soulful vocals of J Appiah.

As with his NC001 release (Speak Back / Day Dream in Dub), Leo
James exclusively showcases a deeper, simpler and more progressive side to his productions for Navy Cut. The alias of Dom Howard/Ruckspin; widely known for his production and engineering for Submotion Orchestra and Author, with several acclaimed albums and worldwide tours under his belt since his 2001 production debut.

J Appiah, a singer/songwriter from Hackney, East London, who's work is autobiographical, often rooted in, and taking shape from life experience and whatever sounds he's immersed in at present. A highly sought after vocalist, and artist in his own right; his thoughtfully crafted melodies and lyrics are beyond impressive and refreshing. An artist true to himself and his feelings, Appiah's music conveys to us what it is to feel alive and human in the world.

New Absolete in Purple Vinyl

« The Maxx : Cocaine 2020» is a relaunch of this New Beat classic from 1988.

since 1988 along with some new remixes to burn the dancefloor with a
Techno/EBM flavor

Luigi Madonna joins Joseph Capriati's Redimension imprint with three atmospheric techno cuts entitled 'The Colours Of The Day EP'.

Since 2008 renowned Italian artist Luigi Madonna has released on Plus 8, Drumcode, Second State and Octopus, alongside performing across the globe including at Awakenings, Amnesia, fabric, Watergate and Sound Museum Vision in Tokyo. Now, continuing to expand his awe-inspiring catalogue and place
amongst the wider techno community, he brings his thundering and infectiously rhythmic techno to Redimension.

'Midnight Sun' opens with flying synths, cantering drums and spaciously sweeping snares that briskly fuels the audio journey into techno bliss. On the flip, 'Dark Yellow' drives with industrial kicks, layered claps, saturated keys and propulsive percussion until 'Dark Grey' concludes with zapping stabs, subtly emerging bass and polished cymbal patterns.

Following on from ‘One Sound / Myth’, ‘King’ is the second in a trilogy of EPs for EPM Music by Mark Broom.

Where the first EP featured Mark’s classic techno skills, on his ‘King EP’ we get another side to Broom, although anyone familiar with his huge catalogue of releases or tight DJ sets will already know there’s more to the UK maestro than straight-up techno.

From the get go on his ‘King EP’, Broom delivers peak time heat. The EP features three new cuts where house meets UK techno. The title track is intensely addictive, with its tough, tracky groove, stomping bassline and woven disco sample. ‘77’ and ‘LX’ continue the theme but with a deeper quality. The former is a dizzying number that could have easily come out of the windy city, but pauses here and there for a touch of UK flavour, while the latter is a looped stomper, with it’s piano refrain and compact beats.Also featured on the EP is a stripped-back remix of ‘King’ from Bek Audio’s Gary Beck who cuts away from the disco, leaves the stabs and biting groove, but adds an epic sweep to autograph his work.

Our first analysis of frequencies from the void above resulted in a message relayed from a planet ravaged by magnetic storms! "FTVA001" compiles four cuts by veteran artist Muten with an exceptional take on acid house, techno and electro, including a collaboration with Nacho CL.

On the A-Side, the release opens with Las Piedras Crew, a fast-paced thriller with a driving acid synth. A2, Sucubo, an acid house extravaganza filled with electric ambients and textures coupled with a driving groove. On the B-Side we have Inverisón Polar, an exceptional take on classic trance style techno perfect for a high-energy dancefloor.

Closing the release is the collab track Quasar, a gloomy but powerful track showing the best of the uruguayan old and new schools, showcasing nothing but talent and exceptional sound design.

"Accept the existence of the void as a real entity, in which atoms can move and rearrange themselves"

We are back in shape after a while, providing fresh wax for you all, this time in the hands of two proper experts on studio duties: label owner P.E.A.R.L. sharing this extended EP with Pole Group's and Warm Up records head, Oscar Mulero.

Seattle-based artist Archivist brings his atmospheric sound to the Insula imprint amounting to a deep emotional record. Three originals highlight his meticulous production skills combining driving rhythms with submerged warm harmonies, joined with a floaty remix by Cyspe this forms a distinct work for the early and after-hours in the club.

Three new uncompromising bangers by Sev Dah oozing of 90's techno nostalgia, but not because of some stylistic choice. Rather nostalgia as a form of dedication and belief.

LIMITED REPRESS, GREEN TRANSPARANT VINYL.

1st release in Alden Tyrell's latest project: "Vorm Variaties", a 5 release series consisting of tracks recorded in the last 2 years. The "Vorm Variaties" tracks were a "Style Excercise" for Tyrell, flexing his producermuscle while health issues forced him to stop touring. Initially he had no intention to release these tracks but we found them so good that we were almost forced to start this series. All tracks selected are variations on classic techno forms, using classic style ingredients and the 909. All 5 "Variaties" are different in style, yet all homogenous, all with Alden Tyrell's sound signature... on point production skills and stripped down arrangements.

We welcome back Danilo Schneider and his powerful and energetic EP“ Different Views“. The musical influences of recent years let’s Danilo produced this wonderful release. That’s not enough. An
excellent driving and hypnotic remix from Sascha Dive completes this EP. The mastermind of dub influences of the highest. Three beautiful tracks in a good mood and balance to your ears. Enjoy.

Third release on Winthorpe is from Dublin based producer - DeFeKT. A tireless advocate of true electro and techno who has been steadily honing his hardware modular based sound for the last few years. Familiar to many via a slew of 12?? eps and remixes an array of top labels including Electronic Explorations, Convex Industries, Solar One Music, AC Records, Cultivated Electronics, Boysnoize Records and a collaboration with Sunil Sharpe, under the name Tinfoil with five 12?s and an LP on their own self-titled label this four track EP is arguably his most accomplished yet.

Do or Die has already made an impression on Nicolas Lutz's My Own Jupiter and now makes a sideways step to Binh's Time Passages, another label associated with a deep digging selection of underground DJs who are some of the most revered of the moment. Opener "90s" makes you wanna scream "aciiiiiiiiid" at the top of your voice, "EBM" channels some old school rave, breakbeat and techno vibes with its energetic drum patterns and bleeping synths. The title track is the most unusual of the lot, pairing withering synth lines with metallic drums and distorted drones that all add up to some powerful, warehouse-ready sounds.

Alexander Kowalski (d_func.) and Alan Oldham (DJ T-1000) team up on this amazing EP and unleash a techno beast that will leave serious damage on any dancefloor around the globe. The white & black marbled vinyl is completed by 2 brilliant remixes produced by Diego Hostettler & Krenzlin and Ritzi Lee!!!
