Techno Vinyl New Releases - News

4 techno tracks with rave and '90 trance sounds, wisely mixed with modern ones. Lucretio in the A side with an industrial digital track; same taste for Dove Quiete's track. The B side is characterized by two melodic and trance tracks from Albanish People and Stic.

Clash of the Techno Titans. Floorplan (aka Robert Hood and Lyric Hood) go toe to toe with Mark Broom for an all new rumble in the 'Jungle'. This monster split EP sees the official release of the highly sought after Mark Broom Edit of Floorplan's huge Gospel powered house monster 'Never Grow Old'. This ultimate secret weapon for a select few DJs over the last few years is backed by the equally mega Re-plant version of 'He Can Save You' which gets some extra Techno power under the Hood. The EP is rounded off by Mark Broom's double combination in the guise of 'Jungle'. Knockout!

Italian based Ribbon Recordings presents an EP from the legendary Ken Ishii also including remixes by Manuel Di Martino, Adiel, Mute8 and Matti Trani.

In terms of his influence, Ken Ishii’s legacy puts him alongside the likes of Jeff Mills and Richie Hawtin, as he is one of the people who helped establish the techno genre. Thanks to his iconic releases on labels like R&S that gave him huge exposure in places like Europe that were far from his native Japan.

Still one of the most respected and highly revered people in electronic music, this release is another fine example of why Ken Ishii has managed to maintain such a vibrant career spanning over two decades.

Italian artist Manuel Di Martino is label owner of Persistence but has also featured on other labels like Suara, Etruria Beat and Dynamic Reflection.
Adiel is one of Italy’s most talked-about new talents, and she is already playing regular gigs across Europe along with release tracks on labels such as Ara and Danza Tribale.

Ribbon Recordings regulars Mute8 are a duo consisting of Gigi Galli and Dave Manuel who have also contributed tracks on other imprints including SK BLACK and Nice To Be Records.

Mattia Trani has released often on his own label Pushmaster Discs, but has also featured on other imprints such as On Edge Society, Uncage, with his tracks picking up support by everyone from Robert Hood to Amelie Lens.

The original track “Landslide” has a stripped-back style with thrashing percussion and dark atmosphere cut by stabbing synths and a pounding kick drum. Manuel Di Martino adds a modulating lead synth to his intensified, hypnotic version, and Adiel keeps things flowing in the zone with added ambience. Mute8 stays true to the vibe of the original but adds claps and a swarming pad, before Mattia Trani closes the release with a jackin' groove and ominous synth bursts.

"MUSAR" is excited about the return of MANASYt - Bulgaria's electro-synth pioneer, for ’Inferior Subjects', a new album, bubbling with madness and loaded with darkwave sounds. The 2nd part of MANASYt's lost tracks series, recorded between 2000's to 2010's and found in his old PC.

For his second release on MUSAR, Petar Tassev collected some of his best unreleased works to date, inspired by metal and new-wave music then interpreting the moody, roughness to a raw, pure and dark adventure, like no one else does. 'Inferior Subjects' consists of 8 dark and psychotic tracks that will take you deep into a futuristic dystopian world adventure - Opener ''Screw The Routine'' is a dark-wave fetishistic killer, pushing the clubby electronic music borders to new limits.

''Terminal Medicine'' is a deep psychedelichorror soundtrack to a very bad day at your dentist while ''Daylight For 15 Seconds‘' (inspired by the Belgian film 'Nuit Noire') is a slow hazy burner that will send you straight to the mental clinic ''Positive Deception'' is the anthem of the aliens while attacking earth, ’'Secret Time'' will lock you in a room where time moves backwards and forwards at the same time and ''Insect Sect'' a mystic electro piece of music for
a deep nightmare.

Closing the album - ''Metacontol'' and ''God of Chance'' two evil energetic electro bombs, pure chaos and full of post-punk elements, perfect for fetish party/techno rave, fitting for an artist given to performing live in a rubber 'gimp' mask. 'Inferior Subjects' will mark the beginning of 'MUSAR's' new limited Cassette Tape series that will focus on producers edgy sides and the wonderful weird side of electronic music.

After taking off from earth with Space being the destination of exploration, J Shaw ascends levels of galaxies as a renegade living in time by his own rules. After making it through the large Lines Of Galactic Bass, he is able to peacefully sail through space and relax a while before finding a good spot to clear for inhabitation. Able to view the different structures of his current position in space, he notices flights of Neurons in the Galaxy. As he follows the trails of Neurons, he encounters Alienetec wave forms that brings him to a new galactic life system. What does he encounter next as he deciphers the Alien Coding …..

After our first reissue of The Mover in 2014, Forbidden Planet is back with two-part reissue of seminal material from the late 90s to early 00s by Doomcore pioneer, Fifth Era. Fifth Era consisted of a group of musicians from the UK and Czech Republic who pushed a slower, darker version of Hardcore. Their transgressive style had an irrefutable impact on the underground and we hope that this release goes a way to reintroduce Fifth Era’s unique sound to a new generation. Vinyl only.

To kick-start Artificial Dance's 2018 release programme, the label has once again delved deep into the darkest corners of the Dutch electronic underground. The result is a debut solo EP from another future hero, Hague-based Pasiphae.
Born in Greece, Pasiphae took up DJing and music production when she moved to the Netherlands five years ago. By 2016, she was confident enough to hold her own in the studio with Intergalactic Gary, with the resulting collaborative 12', Made of Glass, winning praise for its floor-rocking rhythms and throbbing electronic instrumentation.

The Siphax EP, her first solo outing, is arguably even better. Packed with mutant alien funk (the superb title track), horror-fired dancefloor dystopia (throbbing opener Tachynons') and skewed electronic soundscapes ( Vertical Rotation', which sounds like it could have been taken from the soundtrack of an early '80s art-house movie), the six tracks offer a neat summary of Pasiphae's unique musical world.

Check out, in particular, the two-part murkiness and late night hum of Quelque Chose De Mauvais' and Quelque Chose De Mal', which are creepy and clandestine in equal measure. If that's not enough to set the pulse racing, turn your attention to EP closer Hedera', a beat-less but rhythmic romp through muggy, psychedelic pastures.

Forward thinking electro/techno cuts with crushed sound and distinctive rhythms by RHR who's makes his omnidisc debut with this 4 track Ep. Another strong Omnidisc release!

Sintex Bortexx working with synthesizers since 1992.
This time he presents a song inspired by the sounds of the late 80 of the sound of the old school New Beat.

Aural Imbalance dives deeper into the sonic hues and palettes touched on by his “Propagation of Light” album. “Transparent Blue” comes at that trademark AI sound from a different production ethos on each tune, bending the predefined boundaries of dance genres and their subcategories. Simon’s goal this turn was to form an album playable as standalone songs and symbiotic as a holistic listening experience. Mission accomplished.

Coyu is back on Noir Music and this time stronger than ever.
He serves up a double a-side with the haunting techno tune "Salvation"
and the LFO oldschool inspired "Future House".
We fell in love with both tracks on the spot and are happy to have such a
strong release by Coyu on Noir Music. Remixes will follow late summer.

We are the ones who define us. Such is the message of The Eskapist. A special character in the Figure universe, his productions have come to forge their own cosmos entirely, telling a mysterious tale of love, intrigues and techno.

Technology sits at this EPs heart, its machine-made tracks creating ambience, vitality and suspense across its varied runtime. It‘s tooly at times, yet all tunes sit and breathe their own distinct air, be it the shoving chords of upbeat (A1), an inquiry into the nature of reality on (A2), tunneling abysmal buzz that is (B1), or the stark computer-stomp of (B2). Ending on a philosophical note, The Eskapist underlines their mission statement as transporting meaning beyond their musicality and reminds us of our freedom and responsibility to define ourselves

Shaw Cuts enters the site of crime with its first release called 'Have Sword, Will Travel'.The EP includes 4 techno assassins - two tracks by the label founder himself LaChriz, who introduces his shaolin moniker 'Farron' and 2 remixes by the argentinian boxer Jonas Kopp. 'Equinox' opens the slaughter with shaking break-beat punches in combination with atmospheric pads surrounding the drum jabs. Ti Lung would have been pleased.
The track 'Apo-G' comes in sly and chases the enemy with dirty drums and menacing distorted sound spheres that will morph the bad guys into dead guys - throwing star style.The B-side gets taken over all the way by Jonas Kopp, who brings up two different remixes of 'Equinox' that can easily cut off the rival's extremities like a sharp guillotine. And the carnage just begun...

It's almost impossible to don't have a look at all the rising talents that surround us - and the guys of Jamahr are surely one of them. North Italy based, Mario and Jacopo joined forces back in 2008 and since then they've constantly put a lot of passion and dedication into their music, working under the alias of Jamahr. Noticed by Yaya a while ago, they've also attract the attention of the European scene with releases on Rich NxT's own 'NxT Records', Sleepless Musik and Kina Music to name a few. We're super happy to see that 'Chordelia' EP is finally set for an official release, which also features a remix by Diego Krause.

'Chordelia' it's an opening track that starts with a dry lowend part until swing drums jump in. The entire track insists on a fresh and racy synth line that perfectly fits with the groove.

Stepping up to tackle the original, with a club approach, Berlin's Diego Krause (Berg Audio, Salty Nuts) use some vocal loops and a some funky shot, enriching the groove and delivering a great version of 'Chordelia'.

On the B side, 'Brotherhood' is about the special synergy between these guys, exposing the contrast between the gentle pads against the electric scratchy synths. The groovy and rolling analog bassline finds an intense groove with whispered vocal shots drifting in and out of the mix.

Closing the affairs is 'Qaacker' where pulsating toms and hi hats encounter mystical long tailed pads and synths into a majestic and dreamy progression. The break is just magical and it's studded with glitched drums and percussions. Definitely the perfect track to complete an ashtonish EP.

Dancefloor mental Core

Planet Rhythm is gearing up for the second effort in their PRRUKBLK series. Both Moerbeck and Fanon Flowers have come up with 2 gritty peak-time anthems made out of heavy drum-action, distortion and hazardous percussion. Moerbeck's A-Side is a ferm combination of granular synthesis and vigorous drums. Where "Black Hand" recalls memories of graveyard shifts in soviet coal mines, the A2 track Mode evokes up a more tripped out state of mind.
Fanon Flowers lays down a more ominous ambiance for his B1 track that has the more than suitable title "Vultures Circling Part 3". Closing down the B side we find "Vultures Circling Part 1" which carries that same threatening vibe but with even more energy due to the use of abundant percussion.

Not Waving aka Alessio Natalizia is back. His Human Capabilities album was one of the highlights of the label in 2014, so it seems only right to get 4 artists to create their own unique versions for this EP. Starting with Pye Corner Audio, Martin Jenkins solo proto-electronica project has been a growing success since fist putting his cult tape recordings to vinyl. A great live performance at Cafe Oto got the label wanting more and the recent split LP release with Not Waving on Ecstatic Recordings made a remix
inevitible and he does not disappoint. 7 minutes of brooding, slo-mo dub dance s a perfect opening, haunting and searching in equal measure. This is followed by the new project from Valentina Magaletti (Shit & Shine) and Tom Relleen (The Oscillation). Tomaga's recent debut LP Futura Grotesk is a mesh of live expermenation of electronica meets percussive, kosmiche interplay and worth checking. Taking the industrial loops of the original they provide a improvised jam of drums, bass and anything to hand to trip the light fantastic. Perfect. On the flp, we head for the dark corners of a (techno) basement via L/F/D/M's remix of Double Blind. With releases on Optimo Trax and Clan Destine Trax, Richard Smith's project seemed perfect to take
on the industrial dance of the original. Stripping things right back, the core of the track is looped incessantly for maximum intensity before far away melodies bring you back again. Finally, the EP closes with a wonderous remix from drone specialist Abul Mogard. With his recent SchleiBen split series LP on the label, Abul is again at his best, taking the melodic ambience of the original and modulating it in to a brooding and emotional remix that is a perfect marraige of the artists minds.

January is the month for dreaming, or so the saying goes and there’s more than enough on 2020’s Dots and Pearls 6 to satisfy the wildest flights of fantasy, as Cocoon Recordings invites well known international artists to once again rub shoulders with some of the freshest new talents around.

First up, Eduardo de la Calle & Romina Cohn’s “I’m Losing My Mind“ does a decent job helping us lose ours. Taking the classic DBX template as a start point, Cohn‘s random, spaced out musings elevate things to another level as they filter through all manner of machinery, bathing the hypnotic percussion in a lysergic glow. Fabe’s “Call of Origin“ pulls no punches either, the energetic, bass driven intro bouncing its way centre stage before expanding into lush open spaces with occasional melodic scatters and washes of warm pads that radiate good vibes.

Over the last couple of years, Adana Twins have rightly consolidated there position at the top table, so it’s a pleasure to have them on board with “Origo“. Like snake charmers relentlessly teasing and twisting the infectious hook line in all manner of directions, they demonstrate complete control of their art, pushing all the right buttons to bring things nicely to the boil. As with all Cocoon compilations the deeper you dive, the stranger the vibe and Juan Sanchez delivers a dose of trance-inducing, minimal techno. Abiding by the same dogma as the track before, “Narcissus“ offsets a constantly morphing hypnotic hook line with raw, stripped 909 beats in a classic mid 90‘s style.

Michael Klein’s “Continuation“ maintains the intensity as Cocoon’s Techno Tardis transports the listener even further back to a sweaty early nineties warehouse. It could be London, it could be Berlin... wherever it is, it sure sounds like home. Rico Puestel then snuffs out the candle, plunging us back into darkness. With “Perpetua Mobilia“ he unleashes a deep, prowling beast of a track that reminds us that just when you think you‘ve got a handle on Cocoon, it sheds its skin again, revealing yet another mask behind the mask.

As we motor on towards morning, Radu Dracul adds some bite to proceedings with “Spectrae“, a slow burning psychedelic trip with gently percolating acid lines that smooth out the rough textures of the preceding tracks before giving way to a cavernous breakbeat inflected breakdown. And then finally, Joe Metzenmacher and Borka & The Gang close out the collection, paying homage to the melodic side of Detroit with the quirky, idiosyncratic yet ultimately beautiful “Magic Talk“. It surrounds the dance floor in a warm embrace as keys, strings and bass combine effortlessly to produce a priceless moment of collective euphoria that sees us safely home.

Technorama records is proud to welcome Whim-ee into its release catalogue.Whim-ee aka Sara Garcia is a French dj/producer. Originally from Recife (Brazil), she relocated to Paris as a child where she began her journey in music via nine years of classical piano schooling. Whim-ee later began experimenting with electronic music, injecting her own unique fusion of house, techno, jazz, funk and soul. She also manages her own labels ; Tao-Dan Records and W-EE Records.Following up releases on labels such as Got2go, Chilli Mint Music and Nite Grooves, Whim-ee carries influences primarily from Chicago and Detroit into her forward-reaching productions that are consistently suffused with a tough and gritty sense of soul. Very deep and unique in her style and vibe Whim-ee & Myles Sergé join forces here with two brilliant chicago/detroit house techno cuts. The icing on the cake are the two remixes from legendary Norm Talley (FXHE, Sushitech, Third Ear) and promised talent Plural (Metroplex, Another Earth). You can find also on digital bonus, a remix from label boss Dj Jee & Yann Lean, half of Trunkline. Enjoy !

Few records have gained such a legendary status as Chiapet's Tick Tock. The 12" single, released in 1997, brings back memories for any house or techno DJ of the era.
Now it is making its return as a Yoshi Classic, with fresh remixes from Loco & Jam, Robosonic, and Perc.
Loco & Jam's mix is a nothing short of a powerhouse.
About as driving as techno gets and armed to the teeth with noise, it has become a staple in Sharam's recent sets.

He says of the mix, I can count on that one to go off every time. Robosonic opts for a more groovy approach to the record, using the original chords to create pumping rhythms ideal for peak filler and evening sets. It's not quite house, but not quite techno, the diverse duo once again shows they're comfortable working with a variety of sound palettes.

Finally there is Perc, whose remix is exactly what you would expect from the industrial techno figurehead. Dark and delightfully twisted, it will surely find a happy home in the corridors of Berghain.
Of course to round out the package, we've had the original Apocalypse Now mix remastered by Pole, and his delivery was exquisite. Huge yet dynamic, new life has been breathed into this classic mix. We hope you enjoy this Yoshi Classic remix package and will join us in celebrating the return of Tick Tock.

Not to be sold in stores until Friday 14th February.

Two tracks aimed at the floor, With a running theme being the human voice, from screaming to singing and laughing.

"Vocals aren’t a rarity in dance music obviously, but I wanted to experiment with them in a more instrumental and textural sense. Plus I think you don’t hear enough kinda weird shit in the more formulaic dance tunes - only on the more experimental edges of club music ya kno?”.

Brand new album from Levon

PVS returns on his own label with a solo EP. This time with an introspective release, atmospheres and grooves always remaining on the dancefloor's light. Unmistakable are the rhythms by PVS and this release is the proof!

Tassilo Vanhöfen was a hot topic of conversation amongst many DJs and labels in the extended circle of sophisticated music afficionados. At some point in the first half of 2019 his productions popped up on SoundCloud and word of mouth made him receive many requests for his productions, when Neubau already sealed the deal for his first ever solo EP. Three subtle but dancefloor-aimed tracks that many have been waiting for will be included on the much-anticipated "War Manual Of Gear EP"

Sungate's 5th release is titled Magnetic Field #1, a V/A made up by Artefakt, Conforce, Exos and Hiver. A magnetic field can be defined in several ways based on the effects it has on its environment. In this case, the environment would be represented by the listener, and the Magnetic Field would be the record. Coincidentally, there has recently been renewed interest in the effects of magnetic fields on biological cells, so be prepared to see where this EP takes you.

After a digital single on Optimo Music Digital Danceforce, Optimo Music welcomes Bergsonist to the main label with a full album. Ridiculously talented and prolific, Bergsonist is one of thee most interesting, thoughtful and important artists of our times.

Bergsonist aka Selwa Abd is a New York–based artist and musician originally from Morocco. She is the founder of Bizaarbazaar, a music platform and publication that publishes podcasts and interviews by DJs and producers from around the world.

Under the guise Bergsonist (derived from Deleuze’s Bergsonism),
she uses a variety of media to investigate social resonance through divergent conceptual aesthetics (minimalism, techno, and music concrete, to name a few). Through her work, she explores notions of identity, memory, and social politics.

In 2017, she started Pick Up The Flow, a resource to promote congregation and exchange between peers. Currently, co-run with Stephen Decker. In 2019, she co-founded 3afak with DJ Sanna, a collective that aims to empower Arab women’s creative vision in
New York.


Words about the album:

Middle Ouest is an ode to my history, present and future self. Like a sonic autobiography, It’s the first body of work that realistically depicts my identity. It’s a statement towards all the people who tried to put me into a box. I’m not a box but a genre-less ocean. I don’t make genres, I just make music I feel making in the moment.

It’s all about capturing the moment in a given time. If the aesthetic happens to be house or techno then it is. But I’m not a techno artist... I’m just a free sonic ‘voyageur’. I make music as i feel the world; it can be dark, jovial, weird… I mirror the feelings into sonic compositions. However, the only variables that never change in this equation are the message and intention.

What about to blend the best talents and skills of ebm totems (such as Front 242 or Armageddon Dildos) with some recent industrial funk influences (such as Valis or High- Functioning Flesh) and then add the energy & the rage of being 20 years old nowadays ... ?
THAT’S CHROME CORPSE (Seattle/USA).

Extracted from their first album “ANYTHING THAT MOVES”, “DETECTING MOVEMENT” represents their vinyl debut and for sure the beginning of a very succesful professional career.

All tracks have been specially remastered for LONG CUT vinyl by Daniel Hallhuber at Young and Cold Studios (Germany).

Dino Sabatini drops us 2 hypnotic techno tracks with solid grooves and strong ambient pads. Dino is well known for his personal touch into the deep techno scene consolidated in the past years with many release and with his own label (Outis Music). His "Monochromatic Reality" EP is a masterpiece of syncopated rhythms and hypnotic pads, a mental trip in a constantly change with micro-movements of rhythm and groove. The remix of Svreca close the circle and fits so good with the direction of Dino's work, pushing the trip above all limits.

Nico Nightingale as "Neud Photo" has been on a tear lately and this latest offering for Mysidian shows up as his most dark and menacing. The electro meets techno sound we know him for is still prevalent but the amnesia-inducing ‘Dreamz’ also carries thumping EBM and New Beat influences. R&S meets Subway meets Mute.

While each track plays on it’s own themes independently with tasteful vocal samples and industrial energy, the thing they all have in common is obvious. They completely satisfy aural wishes excited only during states of R.E.M. They are simply and undisguisedly realizations of wishes.

Complete Walkthru (Max McFerren) gave us these tracks years ago to help invigorate the dance floor wherever it is played.
