Techno Vinyl New Releases - News

We are not alone. Through the centuries we have created theories, heard stories, made films, and of course, music that is deeply inspired by the idea of the unknown, and the cosmos. We went far and deep into this cosmic void to gather 4 visionairs to help us present a new series on the label. "Visitations - Chapter 1", touches down through sonic dimensions with Damon Wild, Ben Sims, Steve Bicknell and Tadeo. These artists are amongst the few key figures who established the foundations of Techno music and continue to do so decades later.... Their influences are also undeniable to the aesthetics and sound of "Chronicle" and so we are more then honored to present each one of them on our new series. Their contribution to this compilation is of extraordinary measure, connected both in vision and purpose they provide us with extraterrestrial sounds that challenges the listener both intellectually and emotionally with each track standing strongly on its own while functioning in a cohesive way bringing the vision of Chronicle Records into focus.

After three years and ten EPs, Amsterdam's Will & Ink label offers up its first full length from label favorite Yaleesa Hall and is called Woodall. It explores texture, space and sound design in fascinating ways. Since 2014 Yaleesa Hall has released four EPs on the label and has become known for breakbeat laced stripped-down techno. This debut album finds the producer indulging a less dance floor focussed version of his sound, and one that is better suited to the full length format. Explaining that his tracks most often start as "sound structures and experiments" that then get reworked for the club, here they stay closer to their original forms. Woodall is sound sculpture that is electronic and synthetic but also made of real world sounds that are all truly absorbing. Comes in gatefold sleeve.

The product of an old friendship between Akatana and Ombossa, this is an album that has been written after the two artists lost touch for nearly 20 years.
We met at 3 years old and were the closest friends until early teenage, we then lost touch completely until recently when I moved out of Montreal to Berlin, where Akatana lives. We
now are flatmates and friends again after this long hiatus. It happens that we both followed a path to producing electronic music, even tho playing music was not a thing at all for us at
that time. Each of our separate lives somehow brought to this common ground. This happy hazard inspires us.'

The album is written at 84bpm because we were both born in 1984 and the tracks are named after the lexis of the heart. Myocarde is the muscle of the heart, in french.

Deep bass and surreal atmospheres.

With love,
Akatana & Ombossa

Belgium's 'Raving George' dispenses of her alias on her debut ep for Turbo Recordings as Charlotte de Witte.

The 23 year-old Studio Brussel resident DJ has quickly made a name for herself following EPs on Bad Life and a massively successful collaboration with Oscar & The Wolf (which actually sold 15k copies in Belgium alone). Shedding her alias here, Charlotte shows she's ready for prime-time with this expertly crafted EP of big-room techno.

Lead track 'Weltschmerz' sounds like an instant Berghain classic; dark, massive, trippy, and with an emotional character all too rare within the genre. The kicks are banging, the verbed out percussion is fierce, and it all moves around a haunting melodic breakdown that artfully dances on the right side of 'progressive.' It's a killer track that perfectly sets the tone for the whole record.

'Damage Control' is a straightforward flex-a-thon, a housier rhythm that struts along confidently. The technical term is 'floor-filler.' 'Lonesome' brings the emotion back, with it's super-tense, unresolved melodies, this is perfect for all your mega-club yearning & gurning needs. 'Relatives of None' is the nastiest of the bunch, and probably the most at home on Turbo, built around a screechy synth hook. Finally, 'Weltschmerz (Melodic Theme)' provides an epic ambient outro, crystallizing the emotional tones of the EP and establishing a sense of artistic vision that ascends well beyond the pedestrian.

Dublin's R.Kitt, fresh off the back of an incredible live throw down at AVA festival in Belfast sent us through some divine music we absolutely had to have. "Ripples from the Edge" shares five sentimental yet forward thinking originals from the rising producer as well as a remix from label founder Eluize.

The title track comes at us with cascading arps, ariose droplets and pure, smokey pads that burst through a jungle of thumping percussion. "I Wish You Hadn't Said" gets going with gritty breaks and glassy synths that would be at home on a fog laden warehouse floor, mood lightening melodic jabs slice through before things turn back to a tumultuous minor. "Strange Perspective" is casual and light hearted, funk charged electro.

On the flip "Stitch Up" feels ancestral, heavy bass, earthy leads and a dark and enigmatic vocal hit heavy. Damhsa, the Irish word for dance, inspires the next jam, "Machine Damhsa", a fast paced 4/4 beckoning to do so. The track's breath catching breakdown gives a moment of transcendence between it's boundless energy and pulsating drive.

Eluize couldn't resist the lush melodies from Ripples and dives in to turn out a cosmic, 80s touched b boy ready version.

From 120 to 135 BPM... mental acid techno. Minimal and progressive. Solid dark ambiance. Bloody well done !

Italian production duo natural/electronic.system. is back on their homebase Tikita Recordings. With four immersive deep techno cuts they continue the journey they've started when debuting on the label back in 2016. Now they could be seen as one of the key figures on the Moroccan based imprint with 'Mediterranea' being their third full EP on the label.

'Scirocco' starts in a deep mood, on low pace and mesmerizing percussion improvisations. 'Grecale' is the most swinging cut of all four with its tribal drum flow rambling on a playful up-tempo groove. Flipping to the b-side 'Libeccio' comes in at a lower bpm but still an unavoidable catchy and danceable motive where 'Maestrale' ends this playful EP with a lush and dreamy electro jam in deep blue space atmospheres.

New Vinyl Order comes with his sophomore release. This time it is 2-tracker split EP from Mike Undersound and no other than Voidloss.

New Acid Techno Suspected with the first release from Andreas Gehm!

Melancholic, meandering, mixed-up-in-the-head electro/nix direct from the desk of Design A Wave. Mastered by Someone's Dad Cut at Curved. Artwork by Mel Keane.

The first release of 2017 from Edume and Nicolas Lutz's "multi-disciplinary art platform" (that's a record label, kids) My Own Own Jupiter comes from Spanish analogue freak Do Or Die. It's an expansive, intergalactic debut album featuring nine scorching, tried-and-tested dancefloor treats. Highlights come thick and fast, from the racing deep space bleeps and razor-sharp acid lines of body-jacker "Mr Insane" and psychedelic-minded electro-acid shuffler "Brahmsstrat", to the deep and galactic techno/electro hum of "Osst" and rush-inducing deep house bliss of "Posthuman (Part 1)". Also worth a listen is "Norse", in which Do or Die fuses bleep-era Biosphere with the mechanical funk of vintage Chicago jack.

Empty Vision provides the next pillar to the structure of Lanthan.audio and is the latest project of the italian-rooted Damiano Di Cagno. In addition he was able to convince Distant Echoes (Dystopian) and the well-known Chris Stanford to paraphrase his Visions.
Vision I gives an insight into a deep, abandoned space, reminds on a far away valley. Leaving it is accompanied by thundering spheres impressively.
Distant Echoes grasps this tension and turns it into a delightful and powerful interpretation which gives an affirmative spirit. Vision II goes ahead with a strong foundation pursued by congenial bizarre but memorable sounds that send you through the apparent infinity. Flattened with wide open spheres results here in a very solid dancefloor weapon.
Chris Stanford follows in similar manner, the foundations are well recognizable but he manages it to present the track in a different shape with putting his own stamp on it.
The last track - Vision III - slides us formally into our deepest core, before it opens in full beauty and rescues us from all vicious visions. It remembers us to the most important thing we are capable of giving, love, light and compassion.
Curtain on for Empty Vision.

Following on from Bodyjack's landmark "Nataraja EP" this summer which marked the 10th DEXT release, we welcome back our good friend Lo Shea to the label to continue the next phase in our journey. He comes to us fresh off his recent outings on Rekids and Dusky's 17 Steps, His first DEXT EP 'Durga' is one of the standouts from our early catalog.

We first heard "Activation" when he dropped an early version at our Fabric takeover earlier this year, and it grabbed us immediately. What essentially starts off as a super sharp rhythm track ends up very differently. This is a DEXT track through and through without a doubt!

Liam delves into his drum and bass roots for 'Pressure', marrying rolling broken beats and dark rave synth work but cleverly keeps the tempo right down and really adds to the sense of foreboding.

12" handstamped limited edition of 200 copies, no repress.

Milos presents another fine 2 tracker on limited handstamped vinyl. Kicking off with 'The Absence Of Light', a growling techno affair, with an armoury of slamming percussion. Designed for dungeon clubbing! Sonic boom!
'Fading Faces' on the flip utilises the classic wet TB303 sound, easily winding through a deep chord, huge fx, and militant, yet funky handclap action! Another healthy offering which won't pass by un-noticed!

Olesia Elfa debut release on AHAAD featuring three ambient tracks and one dub techno track. AHAAD, a Wex sub label

IIt's time for an overdue reunion as a long time friend makes a return to the Upon.You family with a new vinyl exclusive single these days. And of course we're talking about the Belgium-born Sammy Goossens, better known as Sierra Sam to all lovers of quality TechHouse beyond, who is about to release his Remember Me' 12 on our vinyl only offshoot UYX Series in fall 2k15. The original version of Remember Me' causes us to gravitate straight towards the center of the club, sporting percussion layers as hot as a tropical night out and well-morphed sample wizzardry with a classic, dry windy city touch. Later on we're carried away by positive, uplifting stab sequencing and an energy overload that sends punters to ecstatic heavens for a reason. The next variation on Remember Me' is the 'Pascal Hetzel & Sierra Sam`s System 100 Mix' - a way darker affair on the technoid side of things. Psyched out, Acid-induced synth lines meet a threatening, slightly distorted drum foundation, frizzling high-hats on overdrive and devil'ish, psychotic vocal processing from hell. 100% underground bunker music for those who know. Finally we see Upon.You-founder Marco Resmann on remix duties for Remember Me", catering a fascinating, highly energetic, yet dry and tool'ish cut on the original track for maximum dancefloor frenzy. Watch out for siren synths on fleek!

Ressort Imprint's fourth output "Four Cuts On Hurting" gets a decent treatment from four well established remixers. Pfirter, Cassegrain, Blind Observatory and label head Ekserd deliver their own takes - RSI011 therefore is aptly named "More Cuts on Hurting".

We are kicking off the labels 20th anniversary with two parts white vinyl edition of Etui Winter Camp 4. Part two focuses on techno.

Vinyl Only 2x12"

Minimood introduces a series of fusion releases between cold-wave, gothic, post-punk on the one hand and ambient, techno, house, electro on the other hand. We hope that the ensuing synthesis between categories disseminates novel as well as sustained types of inspiration. The first project in this series presents the song Wie Raben by the post-punk band Factice Factory with electronic interpretations by André Galluzzi, Christian Burkhardt, Iori, Reinhard Voigt, as well as ROD.

Under his Klankman moniker, Maarten Epskamp brings his own twisted take on techno with a lavish amount of acid. Displaying a free-form DIY approach of rhythmic electronic music with an intuitive compositional approach. The result might sometimes be experimental and certainly be intriguing, but the dancefloor is never far away.

Through Greater Evil presents the second releases from Skander on his own imprint! Adding 5 tracks ranging from heavy techno to some effective house cuts.

LTD 180G COLOURED VINYL

'Sound of Palladio' is the first in a four part series of limited 12" pressed to 180g coloured vinyl, with a single piece of cover artwork commissioned from Italian artist NEROG spanning throughout the series. Never Ready Records' inaugural release sees Venetian techno & bass house experimentalist Munstac veer between the echoing sub bass chambers and angular staccato momentum of The Cathedral' to the more drawn out drum rolls and flutter of The Theatre'. Along the way, East London's Spatial helms a mighty 132 BPM jungle break refix of The Cathedral' whipping up that trademark hectic fervor the Infrasonics label boss has previously delivered on the likes of WNCL & Stillcold'.
