Techno Vinyl New Releases - News

The idea for a sampler came from the Community Rave Point
(which has been active in the area of the tannery in Schwerin
since ´93). No sooner said than done ... now comes the 2
record, the tracks were selected after a poll in the community.
The idea behind the concept is to give artists in the field of
electronic music a platform for releases. Now we start with
the second vinyl, the RVP002. # Rvn ... frvr

Wata Igarashi and Voiski join forces to present their new collaborative project, WAV. Voiski who brings synth heavy perfection to techno and Wata Igarashi known for his stylishly reduced, immersive melodies and futuristic grooves, collaborate for the first time on Delsin Records. The result is a late night affair with atmospheric pads that get you in a trance. Peak-time electronics and floating grooves traveling through the cosmos on knife sharp rhythms. Across four tracks you can hear clear elements of both Igarashi's and Voiski's solo productions, without sounding like anything either has done before.

Working Men's Club announce a small run of remix 12”s, comprising of the brand new Anthony Naples remix and instrumental which will be released on November 15th' and placed in a limited Heavenly house bag. This comes after a previous reworking of the track by Factory Floor’s Gabe Gurnsey.

Heavenly’s Jeff Barrett says:
“We fancied one more remix, one with both feet on the dance floor - and it had to be Anthony Naples, the New York house/techno DJ and producer, whose recent album 'Fog FM' is considered sth. of a classic round our house.”

Anthony’s debut album Body Pill was released on Four Tet’s label in 2015 and his remix CV includes. 4 Tet & more recently Cinematic Orchestra. He's a cool dude, with a killer remix ...

The second EP on Unequal has two fearless tracks from Cloak. A1 is a peaktime oriented banger with evolving staccato hats and rough machine sounds all over.
A2 goes one step further and disturbes with noisy droning synths and a sick low bassline. Flip side by Anselm tells a raw story in downtempo with crooked melodies and dense hi-hat rhythms.

Techno tribe coming from 140 to 160.
A selecta of perfect tunes again ! ENJOY !

Second release of the Flash Forward Unreleased Series, still Emanuele Luzzi & Man-D.A. Flash Forward is proud to release another beautiful gem from the italian producer Emanuele Luzzi, who shined in "Stolen Moments" and "A Tone Colour Of Onirico" as Onirico and Oneiric.For the first time after 26 years, Flash Forward is been issuing the alternate take version of a 1991 UMM gem by Onirico, "Tribal Echo", a hypnotic-tribal-surreal tone recorded live into the DAT tape, a new terrific version of one of Onirico most exciting tracks. Listening to it, you could enter some kind of trip through the darkness, a very emotional journey in which imagine the sunset rhythm fighting with flashing shadows, the neverending battle between good and evil. Let's start the voyage ! As in the first issue, the other side is produced by Man-D.A. , "Not A Dream" was also conceived many years ago but only today is released after being revised, modified and remastered ! Past and Furure classic !

In anticipation of the full re release of the seminal 1994 Sound Patrol album "Sweetened No Lemon" in September, we are releasing a super limited sampler 12" with 2 previously unreleased gems from Derrick Carter's vault. The full album re issue will come complete with a bonus 8 unreleased tracks penned at the time of the original release.

The first segment of the (limited to 300 copies) 12″, 140gr. polyvinyl chloride chunk, which extends to 9:22 minutes commences with muffled and fathomless pads. Then a three steps acidish build up subtely incises through like a reptilian sword coming out of an another dimension. The next track is in a similar vein, however, uplifted presence of cowbells and tight repetitive drums sways towards a house/funk guidance. Side B’s a staggering 12:19 minutes crepuscular descent into crying structures referencing to 90’s sci-fi universes. Additionally coming along with the digital download, is a downreaching, abysmal ambient track called «Cleavage». Yes, either in your confortable conapt or in a decaying, technological dystopian, space-cargo style gig, this will drive your audience to definitive brain melting!

Part curse, part declaration, part Rorschach test, Varg's new collection of EPs is a barely balanced inferno. Side by side, raw club burners arrive from the wretched plateaus levelled out by chaotic neurotransmissions, while sweet and soft anthems take the pain away. The first EP, Sky City: Even in the Heart of Heaven, Angels Can Still Feel Fear, affirms Varg's deft and agile take on techno. Here minimalism spars with blissed out programming, unafraid to pepper sedate hooks with intricate percussive rufige. With each track's eyes on the raving kru, Varg restates his permit to take it to the floor. It's foreboding, but it always has been--and Sky City: A Weak Heart to Break (Spit) makes this its method. Launching itself under the opening track's dazzling melancholic sweep, the EP loses its way in every direction at once by the last track's glitching gabber meltdown. Fair warning is required for the demonic and cosmically unhinged piece of rhythmic noise that begins the second side.

“ but art is not a handicraft; it is the transmission of feeling the artist has experienced ” - Leon Tolstoi.
We focus our music and concept mainly to make good records.
Rocío is the debut EP from a new minimal dark techno label, 3 different tracks by a new artist and label co-owner DAFR A.K.A Matterwave, this cosmic lover make his first solo
project including a remix of the Swedish / Berliner based producer and special influence for the label Staffan Linzatti (Searchlights Records, Field Records, Chronicle Recordings,
Balans among others).

Havantepe from Istanbul is back with his second record on 200 Records! He delivers two strong epic, deep and dubby tracks: S.I.L.A. and Guidance. Moreon & Baffa from Venezuela, now living in Barcelona, visited us last summer in Cologne for a club night. We were very happy that they offered us a remix for a next release. Their and Havantepes music are are perfect match and the tracks together represent the typical 200 sound as well as their styles.

With 'Onto Duat' Maenad Veyl sculpts Dark Eroticism. Four tracks that encode a vibrating sensuality within the scope of an insistent staccato, enforce a radical cancellation of the smooth. Proclaiming the quality of instincts, Maenad Veyl redescribes impulsiveness in music by a total cancellation of the smooth. An interplay between impulsiveness and violent positivity. 'Onto Duat' is an EP that will be released on Bedouin Records in late September.

It includes 4 tracks / Artist: Maenad Veyl / Title: Onto Duat Cat.
No: BDN024 Format: 12'' EP / Digital Label: Bedouin Records (2019) Tracks: A1. Change Your Mind (06:02 Min.) , A2. Onto Duat (06:38 Min.) , B1. Take Nothing With You (06:13 Min.), B2. Riot Patrol (05:06 Min.) .

Mark Broom’s ‘Z Beats’ follows ‘One Sound / Myth’ (June) and ‘King EP’ (September) as the third in a trilogy of EPs for EPMmusic and also includes a remix by Truncate.

The new EP opens with two superlative versions of the title track, ‘Z Beats’. Mix 1 is a stripped and deep minimal-techno drill while Mix 2 utilises a warm bass and variegated melody. Up next is a phat and phunky ‘Z Beats’ remix by Truncate, the alias used by Audio Injection (LA’s David Flores) to focus on a deeper, raw techno sound. While bringing up the rear is another treat from Broom; ‘OT’ is a glistening peak time stomper that closes the EP as it started.

Monika Kruse: Happy to have Paride back on the label with two soulful techno tracks!

Gold Vinyl

Exalt Records is proud to present Paul Hierophant’s new release which sets out to further explore the outer reaches of space. Part One of the Utopian Dystopias series, released in 2019 was a retrospective affair, cut through with the fear of the unknown as we went further to explore the outer reaches. Part Two however bubbles with the sound of possibility, with brooding breakbeats, space and bass. The spaceships return with positive news for the uncertain times ahead.

Paul Hierophant has a long history of involvement with the music scene, stretching back to the late 80’s, which has included record shop management, DJing, club nights and record label manager. Paul has a blistering live set ready to roll and releases slated on several key imprints this year, including more Hierophant Dubs on his own label Hierophant Records.

Here comes the first release from the newly formed Memory Box label, spawned from the club night of the same name who regularly throw parties celebrating the influences of today's electronic music scene whilst encapsulating some of the most memorable moments in time, and inviting legends and icons to play. The Memory Box label comes from the same stable as Groovepressure, run by Robin Ball who is the main artist on this first release. Memory Box is about keeping the Acid House culture and vibe alive so it seems fitting that the first release is dedicated to the acid sound. Acid Stomp and Back in the Dayz are homages to Acid House, whilst Acid Duck is a slice of psychedelic tech-house and Sqolch brings a more contemporary feel to the acid house sound.

official re-issue / vinyl only

Originally released by Michael Simon & Shahin Moshirian back in 1996 on Master Maximum Trance Traxx, Silverplate is considered one of the best Hard Trance releases of all time, with the vinyl release becoming highly sought after over the years.

Following Michael Simon giving us his permission, this massive Hard Trance Classic is being repressed, 23 years later, in collaboration between Simon Cutmore & Underground Music.

Although the original DATs were no longer available, this has been remastered from uncompressed CD source, and sounds fantastic. The label artwork pays homage to the original sleeve & centre label, and comes in a generic sleeve.

We're extremely proud to repress this masterpiece!

Including Takaaki Itoh remix - limited to 200 copies.

Having released on Shifting Peaks with label mates such as Trevino, Youandewan or Mak & Pasteman, modular synth aficionado CutOff!CutOff! is finally delivering his first wax on the Berlin based TOYS imprint. TOYS' affection for UK club sounds is mirrored in the EP's title track "Shifted" that nods towards the British dance music tradition
with its ravey pads and vocal snippets amidst heavy hitting stabs.
The drone sounds and gnarly synth of "Volatile" delve deeper into a sinister atmosphere.
The relentless machine groove of this modern take on underground Techno is aimed at warehouses and basement clubs alike."--##" is the track on the EP that was most obviously born out of jam sessions that characterize CutOff!CutOff!'s approach of his improvised live sets he plays in clubs.
Demonstrating raw energy, it's an example of simple ideas constantly moving and evolving.

Techno party throwers EarToGround are proud to present there first label release ETG001 on limited vinyl pressing only. Out of London comes the Programm EP with original sounds written and produced by Dax J & Chris Stanford. With their strong influences of traditional techno they have brought it's rawest stripped back elements to life. A mechanism of deep synthesizer stabs, a hard but sweet kick drum and complementary hi-percussion & shakers setting a solid platform for this new born label.

Fabio & Grooverider have been at the forefront of UK dance music for over 3 decades. This is the roots of their story told through music.

The 2 London DJ's are part of the DNA of the global Jungle / D&B movement and they have remained relevant, cutting edge, authoritative and essential to this truly underground art-form since it's inception. RAGE could arguably be the ground zero of Jungle. The party was started at London's cavernous Heaven club by Fabio & Grooverider in 1988, at the height of Acid House fever that was making it's way up and down the motorways, slip-roads, fields and warehouses of the M25 and further beyond every weekend, troubling the nation, the police, your parents and the press as it went. RAGE was a different beast, it certainly channelled some of that Acid energy but pitted it against the new and exciting sounds emanating from Belgium, Amsterdam, Detroit, Sheffield, Essex and Hackney and in turn created a new style, a new sonic attitude and energy in the process. Rumbling bass-lines, narcotic synth rushes and roughly chopped and sped-up breakbeats all merged into a style that we now know as Jungle. Nothing like this had been heard before, this was a brand new style and it was coming out of London's West End and Fabio & Grooverider were the people firmly behind it.

RAGE is approaching it's 30th anniversary. It's sonic and cultural legacy is still being felt today, Fabio & Groove are still shutting down raves and festivals every weekend all over the world with their superior DJ sets and musical knowledge guided by their pioneering spirit. This musical selection you hold in your hands, the first of 4 parts, sees them delve into their prodigious memories and record boxes to select a true musical representation of the very beginning of one of the UK's most unique and influential musical movements of the last 50 years. Across 4 x 2 x 12"s compilations we are taken on the journey through the sounds of RAGE, accompanied with track by track notes from Fabio & Groove themselves. This is the sound of the underground, from the inside out.

This is a masterclass in the old-school. The roots. There is no filler here, it's simply ALL killer. Lovingly selected and programmed by the masters - 'The Living Shock' & 'The Ladies Choice'. Produced in conjunction with Above Board distribution and Fabio & Grooverider. All tracks mastered from original sources and fully licensed. Mastering by Optimum, Bristol. Artwork and design by Atelier Superplus. 2019

red & black marbled vinyl

Navigating between time and space, label head Foreign Material continues his historical journey with The Quest , a piece inspired by medieval legends.

Of Faith and Glory leads the way, an epic track which carries the knights' fervor and devotion through strong rhythmics and mystical eerie pads. American maestro Eric Cloutier provides a deep reverberating rework which brings us far underwater.

Of Flesh and Duty dives deeper into medieval madness with fierce rolling toms and hypnotic acid line. The track takes us along knights venturing deep into mysterious woods, accompanied by devastating celestial choirs into a glorious and deadly final. Deep techno craftsman A Sacred Geometry shares his vision with a strong remix that goes into battle frenzy with a powerful and mesmerizing reinterpretation.

At last, Of Fire and Fate (Digital Only Track) releases the rising tension and gives a relief after the storm with broken beats and shamanic vibes. This heroic conclusion underlines the impossibility of a far yet necessary goal leading only to death.

A bloody never-ending Quest...

The fifth installment of the PRRUKBLK series includes 3 buldging techno bits Giorgio Gigli and Ness. Leaning towards the more sinister side of techno this record contains everything from off beat rhythms to sinister early morning themes.

Appearing on the latest Mnemosyne compilation, Hierarchy marks his debut EP on ASG providing a deep journey into rhythms and textures. Direct but still elusive, Matter/Space/Void delivers lapses of rarefied absence constantly driven by peculiar cadences. The pulsating and fragmented remix by label owner A Sacred Geometry showcases once again his diverse view of techno, constantly evolving into unexpected horizons.

What a man really has, is what is in him. What is outside of him should be a matter of no importance. After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music...Words from Sturqen. Words from Merovee.

L’Embrasse is a compilation originally released in 1987, less than 50 Copies were distributed at the time through local shops & it's a portrayal of a unique and very little known scene, generated in the deep underground milieu of Amsterdam.

None of the tracks presented on this album has ever been re-released after the ultra-limited original edition on cassette format appeared.

At the time, a dozen different acts were featured: Menko (S.M. Nurse founder), Robbie Horsfall, Peter Van Garderen (Nine Circles founder), Der Rudi, Antonia (Tonny Timmermans), No Honey From These, Incredible Coöp (S.M. Nurse members), Tranquil Eyes, Beatnik Love Affair, Cheiron, Spin & Kokkie & The Male Ego.

Die-cut 300-gr cardboard jacket. All the elements on the cover have been hand stamped. Includes download code and numbered insert. Mastered by Ruud Lekx from the original tape. 200 Copies!

The compilation has been prepared to explore multiple styles of electronic music, while remaining dancefloor-oriented.
Each of the tracks represents an different approach to music. The record was put together as a diverse experience for the listener to enjoy.

Andrew Bowen & Dimitri Poumplidis, better known to the public as AnD, had accompanied REPITCH Recordings through its early stages of existence. Their two previous offerings for the Berlin-based label came respectively in 2012 and 2014, acting as cornerstones for Repitch, marking crucial points in the evolution and definition of its sound. It is only now, after a 6-year absence from the RR catalog, that the duo makes its return with ‘Beast Mode’, a five-tracker that shows no sign of giving way to softer or less energetic sounds. These are bangers: nothing more and nothing less than rave-ready, hard-thumping, bass-blasting club stompers. Ever championing of the hardest side of techno, AnD have prepared a pack of non-compromising menaces to quiet, capable of making the floor quake by means of pure, unadulterated four-to-the-floor thickness and synthetic stabbing power. This kind of attitude led them to form many kinships with similarly minded DJs and producers, the latest of which is hardcore maestro Alberto Guerrini AKA Gabber Eleganza, who turned ‘Emergency Procedures’ into an even harder affair, driving the mix into the red and turning the beat into a freakishly crippled juggernaut.

Epic link-up between two of the top live techno and house performers working today. After playing a few rare sessions with Juju & Jordash at Dekmantel Festival 2018 and Pittsbugh, Shawn Rudiman and Jordan GCZ spent a few days in Amsterdam laying the foundations for this collection of music. The tracks were transported to the Synthdrome in Pittsburgh and completed with love and craftsmanship. Spanning the gamut of electro, house, dub techno, and future jazz there is something for everyone. Enjoy this rare convergence of the creative energy of two masters.

Touched Music and Furthur Electronix two forward thinking labels have merged together to put out exclusive compilations. Putting some of the best music in the electronic genre in one place.

Russian producer based in Moscow offers a full range of musical emotions for the dancefloor.. from the high highs of "Release" to the crying on the dancefloor of "Happiness Side Effects".

Russian producer based in Moscow offers a full range of musical emotions for the dancefloor.. from the high highs of "Release" to the crying on the dancefloor of "Happiness Side Effects".

Inspired by artists such as Steve Moore and Aphex Twin, the producer develops a sound that is both brooding and nostalgic, mixing expertly influences ranging from German techno to vintage horror and sci-fi soundtracks. To celebrate the 5th anniversary of his EP Hotline Miami II, Das Mörtal released a limited-edition vinyl of the EP on Record Store Day (April 13th) 2019 with three previously unreleased songs featured on the album. The object is eagerly awaited by the artist’s fans and its copies will disappear quickly.
