On the A1 Chekov follows up their moves on Peach Discs and Timedance with a proper peak timer, they've been described by Ben UFO as 'king of the build up' and that's evident on this one. At the A2 London's Doppelate makes their Cong Burn debut with an elegant tech-house roller. Fresh from Russia's underground is Camin, on this, his debut 12" release he drops a useful tool which squeezes between electro and techno. Cong Burn founder Howes closes the B side with some warm hypnosis that could have landed in the golden era of Workshop.

Resurrected from the dark underworld after years of domancy, we are pleased to announce a new seven track lp from one of the most cult alias's in Legowelt's extensive catalog, Gladio.

Through these seven tracks we get exactly what we want, back to basics jackin house and electro cuts direct from the depths of the Hague dungeon.
Means to Freedom is a return to the classic Legowelt sound, taking the roots of old school chicago and detroit and running it through the smacked out vision of Gladio's machine world. Absolutely unmissable jacking, soaring, and stomping jams for that the modern floor has been missing. Digital includes and extended dj edit of "Gladio is Free" by the one and only DJ Chupacabras

Entering their 6th year and after a short break, Holdie Gawn & Micawber are back in action, delivering the long awaited 10th Sylphe release. Back to their usual A / B format, the Sylphe duo combine forces for a solid EP, which opens with ‘’Gleech Huis’’ - a stomping, bassline heavy broken 808 beat, techno house jam on the A side. Holdie Gawn builds upon these elements, introducing a lush shredded vocal and sparkling textured melodies, building a song out of track. Flip to the B side for Micawber’s ‘’Parsec Telemetry’’ a peak time techno rolling groove, with a punching bass and many layers of glitch, glassy sound design and busy percussion, arranged with a minimal approach on the back of a persistent beat. Sylphe 10 is due late June 2019.

JakoJako makes her debut on Leisure System with Aequilibration, an EP of diverse, experimental tracks aimed at the dancefloor.

In F22.0, waves of paranoia break over driving, asymmetric rhythms, offset by soothing, whispered vocals. Kogn. Dissonanz maintains the tension, making clever use of polyrhythms and blasts of machine gun fire. The B-side takes a more hopeful turn with Resilienz, where warm oscillations cluster around a simple but effective groove, and the restrained cries of Katharsis close the EP with powerful intimacy.

Self-taught and primarily a live performer, JakoJako makes extensive use of modular synthesis in her productions and on stage. ”Depending on how you configure your system, you can design a completely different instrument every time. I love when it’s surprising me.” When not in the studio, her expertise is put to use advising well-established artists on their own systems at Berlin’s synth-mecca SchneidersLaden.

Soundscape Versions proudly presents the reissue treatment of Bessiekat EP on sublabel Analog Versions with two fresh banging analog hardware Techno jams.

Musique Pour La Danse invites you to rock your body and free your brain with Break The Limits.

Break The Limits are Bay B Kane and Mister E, two East London underground pioneers who released pivotal and visionary EPs between 1990 and 1991.

Together, they produced some of the most innovative music of the era, a blueprint for the emerging warehouse / hardcore / breakbeat scene in the UK.

In the same way 1977 was a crucial year for punk's explosion, 1990 was a madly creative and truly revolutionary year for dance music, the essence of which is captured in these tracks.

Picture this: a low ceiling sweating red brick basement somewhere far, far away at Marshgate Lane, where multicolored lasers, turbosound, wacky dancers, all part and parcel of the ecstatic rush.

DJs like Fabio, Bukem or Matthew B would spin an evil blend of early hardcore and NY house, with live PA set by up and coming acts like The Prodigy, Unique 3 or Satin Storm.

This was universal unity, complete mayhem and total freedom taking a country by storm, with a mutant groove that later became the grooves of all the grooves.

Nearly 30 years later, it's still fresh.

Produced in Satin Storm's studio (another pioneer), Part One has shades of deep house, techno bleeps and breakbeat blended in an intuitive and innovative way.

This limited EP reissue marks the first chapter in a completely remastered reissue campaign of the much sought-after Break The Limits project by Musique Pour La Danse.

Ten years and twice as many records have come out since Public Release shared its inaugural 12-inch with the world, and it feels fitting to mark the occasion of its twentieth with new work by a steady partner in crime, Mark E. The English Midlander, known as a peddler of classic house laced with the unexpected—sprinklings of frisky Italo and wiggly disco here, splatterings of taut techno and woozy dub there —made his P.R. debut with 2016’s steamy industrial chugger, Sky Horn, and has also been a frequent remixer for the Northern Californian label.

The 12-inch starts on a bone-chilling note with the titular track, a spartan warm-up that’s a creeping bass on the low end, wispy pads in the mids, and a scratchy looped vox sample on top designed to haunt your dreams. A freaky intro that unnerves as it allures. On the move now, Mark burrows deeper into a hypnotic groove with “Shelter,” a midtempo cyborg cut, half round, warm, organic percussion, half cold-tothe-touch synth chord sustains. The energy and urgency feels like new territory, but the execution is signature Mark E.

On the reverse is a pair of more melodious tunes, the shuffling cyberpunk groove that is “M-54,” then the prickly “Shinkansen,” which has a sputtered and bleary-eyed thrust to make feet jitter and hips shake.

A twist on the man's disciplined studio workmanship that we've come to know—arrow-straight arrangements, celery-crisp drums—that’s spiced with a few pinches of psychedelic, inside-out wickedness, devilishness to keep you wired, buzzing.

Two of the leading artists in dub techno and ambient electronics produced four cuts between their extensive studios in New York and Stockholm, with the results sitting in between the powerful oscillations of Echologist's previous EP for Kynant (KYN005) and the slo-mo, Roland jams TM404 specialises in.

TM404 & Echologist (aka Andreas Tilliander and Brendon Moeller) collaborate for the first time on 'Bass Desires'.

The two A-side tracks are the most direct, with hard-hitting drums, soaring atmospherics and boomy reverb. Flip over and the record spaces out into cavernous bass vibrations; first the subterranean 'Odyssey' and then the melodic, modular twists of the 105BPM title track.

Clip releases his debut album Magnetic Reconnection on Seeking the Velvet in collaboration Red Bull Music Academy Spain.

This arduous and mature production consists of eight tracks that plunge us into a journey full of analog sounds, dark textures, drones and a futuristic techno. These ingredients are a faithful reflection of the two cities in which the album has been recorded: Berlin and Barcelona.

During its 38 minutes, Clip delivers a complete journey in which he consolidates a unique sound and way of composing. The album will be released on 12" vinyl and a digital format that will include two bonus tracks. In addition, and in order to create visual consistency, the covers of both releases -single presentation Gamma Ray and this album Magnetic Reconnection- have been commissioned to the designer and visual artist Viktor Autofocus, one half of the duo Realmente Bravo. This creative project has recently worked alongside Agorazein (led by rapper C.Tangana).

This new EP released under Cora Novoa's project SKTVT showcases Clip's new haunting sound landscapes, as the RBMA ex-alumni class 2011 (and the second Spanish artist chosen to participate in its international edition) moves forward from the influence of UK house that underlid his previous releases while adding a superbly distant, darker tone that evokes an analog techno futurism.

A joint release between Natural Sciences and FTP, Texas Terrotech volume 1 is a combination of hyper-frentic futurism with the gritty global sound of the streets, wherever it comes from. It's the pop music on the radio, combining that with innately adaptable, yet eminently absorbable form which evolved in these different little things, all compatible , yet closely related. When they are decoded from the genome of our global musical collective, their inter-relatedness becomes even more clear, and a new perspective can be gained.

The internet made everything smaller. It turned the territory into the map, destroying the physical borders between geography and genres, reducing it into digital code, breaking it into bite-sized bits. This is the sound of the phuture digesting the people.

This is the sound of the global underground

WLDERZ are back on skryptom for a new EP. This is a pure powerfull record of techno but deep and melodious in the same time. 4 Floor killers for different reason, the first is a pure techno dancefloor killer and the second federate the people with his nice melody. There is a third original very powerfull techno and some deep emotional feeling. And we have the big chance and honour to receive TENSAL for a remix that will make people crazy on a techno floor, raw, powerfull but also super emotional !

Coming forth on Amelie Lens imprint Lenske after a much solid stream of releases on Molekül, Perfusion and his own label Elixyr Records, as well as his contribution to Dax J's recent Monnom Black compilation, up-and-coming Paris-based producer Dario Brkic aka AIROD rounds off his breakthrough year with his fifth solo 12"

Venezuela born, Barcelona based Cardopusher's career goes back over 12 years- the proverbial 10,000 hours to master a skill long fulfilled. His forthcoming LP "New Cult Fear" on Boysnoize Records proves it through disciplined, focused craftsmanship. It's the type of no-frills production that deceives the amateur listener with it's simplicity, while the seasoned listener knows that the simpler the elements, the harder it is to make a track that moves the dancefloor. Moving dancefloors it does, although there's few smiles to be had. This is music for dark rooms, for Nitzer Ebb's famous pairing of "muscle and hate." This is being electrocuted by a broken TB-303- only you find the feeling erotic, your exclamations recorded on a haunted reel-to-reel. And it's never sounded so good.

Hans Bouffmyhre is landing on Eclectic Limited with three super strong tracks and a deep remix by French artist Leghau. Energy and stylishness in the same universe the new Eclectic Limited frontier.

Label owner Kenny Dahl is back to Eclectic Limited.
After 2 years of exploration in the "furrow" land, this vinyl is on the launch pad towards new "galaxies" with 3 solid and powerful techno tracks and a heavy and great remix by Japanese artist A. Mochi.

Released on Slater’s iconic ‘Freek Funk’ album on NovaMute - one of the most seminal techno albums of the 90s - ‘Love’ finally gets the remix treatment it deserves more than two decades after its initial release.
Leading the charge, Burial makes one of his rare appearances on remix duties and doesn’t disappoint with an atmospheric and mesmerising reimagining with an aesthetic reminiscent of ‘Untrue’. Lucy then reels out a deep-diving techno roller with precision kicks and tantalising melodies. Luke Slater then adopts his The 7th Plain moniker for a collage of sound extending past the 15-minute mark, before upping the energy with a moody reverberating number as Planetary Assault Systems.
Marcel Dettmann his ‘City remix' features a cacophony of metallic rhythm, ebbing pads and plenty of swing whilst mantra-like vocals operate throughout. Cascading drums and lively trumpets is next in Silent Servant’s upbeat and infectious take.

“Headbanging club music. Birthed from a number of unfinished projects, somewhere in between grime, broken beat, rave and electro - I wanted to make some shit that bangs in a big or small room. Have fun. Positive energy forever.”

Ausgang 005 produced by Patrick Walker.

The second addition to the TXTRL vinyl series comes courtesy of label owners, 138. Three analogue techno jams accompanied by a driving remix from AnD.

In 1999 John Digweed and Nick Muir launched their now legendary label with the 12' vinyl release of 'Heaven Scent', giving it the iconic catalogue number BED1.

Continuing the series of special releases to celebrate the Bedrock label's 20-year anniversary in 2019, this landmark classic has now received heavyweight reworks by Marc Romboy and Eagles & Butterflies.

' Heaven Scent was a game changer. It really was one of the most essential dance tunes.' - Marc Romboy

Those familiar with Mönchengladbach master DJ/Producer Marc Romboy's exceptional creative output and deep relationship with the Bedrock imprint will know what to expect.

A continual advocate for their forward-thinking vision, Marc delivers an utterly dynamic, high-flying 10 minutes of pulsating perfection. His remix soars, dips and dives in a deliciously delirious joyous homage to the original's epic attitude.

Hot on the heels of releasing his stunning collaborative project with John Digweed & Nick Muir ('Crazy Diamond'/'Divenire' BEDDIGI118), UK-born, LA-based Producer/DJ, Chris Barratt (aka Eagles & Butterflies) returns to the label with his own decidedly individualistic interpretation of 'Heaven Scent'.

Marrying an insistently metronomic groove with an intense, mind-bending, looped and layer structure, he takes the track on an entirely different journey before stripping everything back and dropping down and launching into those hallowed unforgettable chords, in a classic 'raise your hands if you understand' moment, all timed to complete perfection.

Cassegrain are in the house. With this four tracker, they make techno with a signature that sets them apart from the rest and we are really glad to have them on board.

'Addax' opens fire with a textured fast groove, with delayed filtered hits over a relentless continuous rhythm. Intensity grows until the drums disappear shortly to come back in full force in the closing minutes. A dance-floor destroyer for peak time moments.

'Markhor' starts with processed beats that are soon followed by analogue percussive hits creating an hypnotic mood. More layers of synths are added to the main groove electrifying the feeling and making an alien exercise of modern techno.

'Nubian Ibex' keeps the pace fast and focused on the floor. A similar recipe here, continuous grooves, synthesized bleeps and an intelligent arrangement. Noises and abstract textures share lines with sharp hi-hats and percussion all with a characteristic sound, not from a standard sound palette.

'Arabian Oryx' closes the EP, slowing down things slightly, approaching liquid dub soundscapes but with the tension that Cassegrain always manage to bring to their productions.

Control Freak Recordings launches with ’Translucence’, the debut EP from London-based DJ and Producer Keplrr. With influences spanning UK techno, breaks and bass, it's already received support from DJs including Ben UFO, Or:la and Minor Science.

Stripped back with a careful attention to detail, Transluence’s airy synths have drawn comparison with early releases on Warp Records. A diverse selection of tracks ranging from floor filling, breakbeat-driven tools to spacey cuts perfect for the earliest of hours.

From his debut on Tresor in 2012 with the Super Strength EP, all the way through to his Vibrations long player in 2016, Paris based artist Marcelus has continuously provided some of the most intricate productions to come out on Tresor Records in recent years.
Marcelus instills unpredictable rhythms as the very eseence of his music. These di erent layered time signatures move together in spiraling forms designed in the french enchanter's mind.
The Magnet EP o ers one long trip in four chapters. The title track, 'Magnet', ushers in the ritual and strikes with its Creole flavors, drawing careful listeners back to sound palettes and rhythms of some decisive UR references.
From there on, the mind-bending begins. 'Parenthesis' is the second slow step in this brooding ceremony. 'Say It Again' picks up the pace, driving the listener further down into the tunnel. The beads of 'Descent' finally brings the mind back to the surface of reality.

Back with that low-end pressure, PAWSA delivers another tech house slammer with this single sided, 180g funked-up riot on his own PAWZ imprint. A humongous, hypnotic bassline, shuffling percussive hits and a thundering kick lay the foundations for that renowned and charismatic vocal to take centre stage on ‘Funky Brother’.

Another sure-fire winning roller destined to tear up dancefloors across the circuit, further validating PAWSA’s meteoric rise to the top.

Acid hartechno Special :) With a raggacid tune

"For our fifth eel record, we round up some of modern techno's most distinct-sounding producers. Hector Oaks' "Just A Chengdu Dog" is a deadly, vocal-laced acid weapon that briefly comes up for air, before we're submerged into the murky atmosphere and glorious modulating riff of Mary Velo's "Submission". Sedvs & Peel's rumbling "Side Life" reconfigures '90s Birmingham techno to masterly effect, while the deep chords and blissful keys on Christopher Joseph's vox-led "Indifferent World" round off the ep in majestic fashion. Four absolute winners here, do not sleep!"

Four intense and explicit tracks from the darkest vaults of oblivion. Made to meet your higher self in a spiritual surrounding of non physical yet illusional vibrations.
lol just kidding - but still, some serious low end hammering going on here.

The third release in the Anopolis trilogy coincides with the founding of Anopolis Records.
Like the previous two EPs, DIMADOU takes reference points from the sound of the 90s and avoids getting bogged down with track titles. The first track, A19 is noticeably influenced by the Sheffield scene and Rising High records. The EP continues with the heavy bass line and the TR-707 drums of A18, a strong nod to the Chicago sound. On the B side, drum machines dominate in A21 and A20 with their piercing sound hinting towards the style of Ron Hardy. Rounding off the EP is the atmospheric A17 and its warm, hazy pads.
This final part of the trilogy is simultaneously the beginning for further releases through the project s new imprint Anopolis Records.

Paris artist Exal makes his sequel EP on Prodigal Son with
remixes from UK talents Setaoc Mass & Dyad.
