Heavy-set, saturated techno on a hand stamped 12".

Six years before the release of his landmark Mother Earth’s Plantasia LP, composer and arranger Mort Garson met experimental film director Skip Sherwood, who was interested in an electronic score for his new movie, Didn’t You Hear?

While not much is known now about the exact nature of their collaboration, Here's Garson’s magnificent score as a record of those heady, early days after his life-changing discovery of the Moog synthesizer. Notable for being one of the earliest screen appearances by a young Gary Busey, Didn’t You Hear? also boasts one of the first-ever all-electronic movie scores. Though the score was first released in 1970, it sounds as adventurous and futuristic today as it must have then.

Welcome To Binary Soulcode Records, A Label Who Is Born For The Love For The Classic Sounds Of Detroit Techno And Chicago House, Always Looking For New Ways Of Expression In Both Electronic Styles And Never Forgetting The Innovation That Both Styles Ment Since Their Birth In The Beginning Of The 80's.

Since completing his two-decade-long hip-hop trilogy as Dabrye in 2018, Ann Arbor-based artist and Bopside label head Tadd Mullinix has engaged his arsenal of aliases with renewed heat. First came the debut of X-Altera, a new project flexing a wildstyle hybrid of drum & bass and deep techno. Now, he returns to James T. Cotton, a moniker which dates back as far as Dabrye and helped define Spectral Sound, the dance imprint of Ghostly International. While historically tagged as Mullinix’s acid house alias, JTC has always expressed with a more pliable sense of genre, freely fusing an eclectic blend of classic electronic sounds; helpings of Chicago acid, Belgian New Beat, and the leftfield techno stylings popularized both in Berlin and Detroit. With Indigo, Flesh and Fire, Mullinix moves closer to the latter city, adopting a bright, optimistic tone informed by minimalism and futurism.

"I have been more withdrawn and introspective on a personal level, in a positive sense, and I think that fact has made my creativity reach toward feelings about peace, positivity, fantasy, wonder, and openness,” says Mullinix.

The EP is packed, but still playfully ambiguous; a club-ready set built to max out mixing boards with spacious and nuanced melodies and motorized percussion. Five tracks, each with roughly five-minute run-times, offering all but a few breaths in a quest for highly operative dancefloor hypnosis. The record wastes little time locking in; on the first track, “Innerloire Rendezvous,” a dense square kick plows through a brisk four-on-the-floor routine phasing over harmonious synth stacks of rubbery fifths and sevenths. The title track splatters a lenticular static spray between thumping kick, billowy melodic swells, and staticky clicks, snaps, and claps.

Mullinix’s distilled musical vocabulary, developed by his many years in the game, gives the set a misty-eyed quality without compromising its contemporary merit. This is music, inspired by history but fiercely forward-thinking, that feels both subterranean and airborne; in the grind on the ground and soaring above in an iridescent super-charged fog.

key selling points: - Debut release on Spectral Sound - Past releases on Firm Tracks, Nite Owl Diner, Sweat Equity, FCR, Clave - Limited to 300 copies worldwide.

Sardinian “Claudio PRC” is a well renowned name in the scene, known for the peculiar, meditative and introspective sound he’s delivered over the years. Claudio is no stranger to our label, kindly gifting us his beautiful track “Void” on the AWRY005 compilation early last year.
With his forthcoming release “Insel,” he shows us different sides of his sound, creating 3 tracks with varying moods, each dedicated to experiences during his time in the city of Berlin. The B side features a remix of “Ost” from label owner Wrong Assessment, marking his return to AWRY after his “Asa Nisi Masa” EP release."

For our new release, our dreamteam for conceptual techno music have come up once again with two tracks perfectly incorporating their signature sound, which originated over eight years ago on their first release. Many landmark productions later on labels such as Music Man, Cocoon or our sisterlabel Break New Soil, we are happy to have them back - and boy, did they deliver! Please enjoy „Sirens“ and „Headless“ - and lose your head on the dancefloor once again!

British techno stalwart Kirk Degiorgio steps up for the next SUARA release with three heavy hitting originals alongside a stomping remix from Mark Broom. ‘Arc Mode’ is drenched in 303 acid lines, pounding kicks and resonating cymbals, it’s ready-made for big rooms and dark dancefloors as surges of synths pulse through.

Another 90's powerhouse Mark Broom takes to remixing ‘Arc Mode’ dialling down the acid in place of full-frontal stabs, squelching bass synths and dizzying hats. On the flip, Degiorgio unleashes ‘Redeemer’ an amalgamation of swirling, siren-like synthlines, rising percussion and the kind of urgency that will raise fists over heads wherever it’s heard. Closing out the EP ‘Astral Cell’ is a bleepy, space searching cut to get lost in that’s both immersive and stirring in equal measure.

DJ Feedback: (1) Ramiro Lopez - Solid EP. Mark Broom always making a great job as well. (2) Joseph Capriati nice, will try soon! (3) Jeff Derringer - Very nice record!! (4) M.I.T.A. - Mark Broom, killer remix! (5) Drumcomplex - Mark Broom Remix is massive! (6) Klaudia Gawlas Redeemer is awesome! (7) Josh Wink - More diverse music from Kirk!

... Always surprising and never letting down!

AZZUR owner, Melokolektiv returns on Galaktika with his first solo vinyl Ep on the imprint 'Where Are You Earth '.

A side brings three amazing original tracks to the table made of synthetic melodies, spacey beat and acid basslines. "Control the Night" and "How to be Drawn" will, with no doubt, pleased the dancefloor while "Where are You Earth" presents something deeper and melancholic.

On the B side, we are happy to welcome two of our all time favorite producers.

First, Langenberg, who offers us a sublime reinterpretation in the line of his deep and organic releases on Liebe*Detail, Drumpoet Community and Poker Flat.

Then, UK legend Mark E who delivers a functional, raw and hypnotic reinterpretation. Definitely something which will please Dj's. Timeless!

The wait is over as Eric Prydz returns under his Pryda alias to offer up four tracks of classic Pryda gold. Rich in sonic goodness, weighty arps, hard-hitting kicks and swelling synths it's a stand out e.p. for the 39th offering from the Pryda catalogue. As ever, there's an expert exhibition of musicianship and production on display in each of the tracks, a depth of character to the music that will sound monumental on any system they're played on.
Both dark and magical at the same time it's a real journey of a record and is sure to do damage whenever, and wherever, it's dropped.

It's been over a year since we at Suction Records last raided RX-101's archives, but far be it from a lack of quality material. In fact, we've been holding back this special batch of melodic, chilled out techno and electronica for 'Dopamine,' RX-101's first full-length vinyl LP. Dopamine (suction047) is a cohesive body of work with clear references to Aphex Twin's 'Selected Ambient Works 85-92', Polygon Window's 'Surfing on Sine Waves', and Warp Records' 'Artificial Intelligence' series.

For those of you new to the story, RX-101 is Dutch producer Erik Jong, who recorded hundreds of top-tier AFX/Rephlex-style tracks to cassette tape from 1997-1999, but never sent out any demos ('I didn't think my own tracks were good enough, or feel the need to share my tracks with others. I simply wanted to make music without any pretension or specific purpose'). Suction Records discovered RX-101's output via Erik's Soundcloud page, which had been much discussed on Aphex Twin fan forum We Are The Music Makers, where many speculated that Erik was in fact a secret Richard D James alias. We were blown away the vast treasure trove of golden era '90s electronics in Erik's archive, and began work on an ongoing campaign to release the music of RX-101.

Although Erik was initially driven to electronic music production through the influence of house and techno, especially Detroit-area heavyweight labels Underground Resistance, Plus 8, and Transmat, it should be clear to anyone who listens that RX-101's primary influence is the work of Richard D James. While RX-101's output to date has been like an overview of many facets of the AFX/Rephlex catalog, from Caustic Window-style crunchy techno, to Bochum Welt-style synth pop, to Universal Indicator-style acid, the focus of Dopamine's sound palette is firmly guided by the slow, funky and crisp 808 patterns, warm analog basslines, and evocative chords of Aphex Twin's landmark 'Selected Ambient 85-92' LP. It's an immersive listen from start to finish - 13 tracks of armchair techno of the highest order.

Sendai is the collaborative project by Yves De Mey and Peter Van Hoesen. Both artists are longtime friends and share a deep passion for exploring the outer limits of the electronic music spectrum. Sendai combines De Mey's skillful extraction of deep and dynamic sounds from his modular synthesizer system with Van Hoesen's keen sense of digital composition and sound design.

Like many Canadians, Joseph Shabason and Ben Gunning like to untangle themselves from urbanity and disappear up north a few times a year. Unlike other cottage-goers, Ben and Joseph don’t while away the ur-time on jet-skis and lounge on docks reading pulpy mysteries. Instead, they bring a car full of synths, drum machines, saxophones, guitars, samplers, effects, and recording equipment to jam the days away in a cabin-fever inducing haze of wood smoke, cedar musk, hot wires and jazz sweat.

Muldrew, recorded on the northern Ontario lake by that name, is the culmination of several years of this collaborative tradition. Resisting their penchant for composition and arrangement, the duo embarked on this project with only an open framework that encouraged restraint. The result is a sparse and improvisational album, hung on enough structure for each song to evoke a distinct, albeit ambiguous mood. Space is paramount and even the most digital elements breathe with the resonance of the room and mingle with creaking floors. The resulting album is steeped in the placid stillness and northern ambience of a lake at dawn, and the emotive expanse of a forest at dusk. Imagine an ECM cottage-series, or Jon Hassell and John Martyn scoring a Bela Tarr film set in rural Canada. This is the future-proof music of metropolitan polyglot minds invigorated by nature’s mute refusal to follow a click-track.

The Brabant Shrobbelèr is a searing 20 minutes of classic and unreleased New Beat tributes by James Kirby aka TheCaretaker aka V/Vm, comprising material produced and originally produced in 2006. It was selected and sequenced by Jerk van den Boschalottt and mixed and chopped to mucky perfection by Miles ov Demdike Stare, marking up a personally important 5th instalment of our BK12X12 series, while also providing an arguably fitting headstone to one of V/Vm's most cultishly
adored projects.New Beat has long become the black sheep of Manchester's dance music canon, wilfully unacknowledged by successive generations of DJs who continue to suckle at the entrails of the Haçienda, when in fact New Beat was a crucial part of the Manc Dance make-up, most often mixed up with Chicago, Detroit and New York house, and whatever UK bleeps and boops were bubbling thru at that time.
James Kirby aka V/Vm is all too aware of the fact, and thanks to the influence and legendary DJ sets of V/Vm card holder, Acid Alan - whose New Beat collection spilled over the racks at a now defunct NQ record shop - its memory and place in Manchester's rave folklore has been preserved by only a select few souls who really.cannot.be.fucking.chuffed. with the constantly regurgitated putative history of our city's club and warehouse culture.
Now, 30 years since New Beat was syncretised and sonified by the weekending loons of Flanders from the the best/worst bits of synth-pop, EBM, house and electro - arguably giving birth to
the rave techno paradigm we know and love in the process - V/Vm's sincerely dark, sexy, and unforgiving dedications take on a new afterlife, resculpted into the oft-maligned but temporally
appropriate format of a MegaMix, as was found on dozens of original New Beat and Acid House compilations and 12's.
Driving from Be-Dash's over-the-limit jackoff, Must Do to the curdled acid gargle of Euro Hit via pure smuts in I Wanna Fuck Miss Nicky Trax, also taking in 'Animal' Andy McGregor's Fuck My Pussy and Hear Me Coming, and previously unknown gold such as Russell Grant and Bajs Grotta, this is the sort of record that deserves its own plinth in the Arndale, preferably somewhere in front of the sweaty gammons and chicken elbows at Gabbott's farm shop...

'Fuck Varg' is Varg2TM--the artist formerly known as Varg--at his most chaotic and ornate. Streamlining a plethora of techniques and motifs into his inimitable and fearless style, there's reckless charm and misanthropy turbulently sequenced to perfection. Charting a route through the cybergothic psychedelia of the opening track, to the wistful anthemic charge of 'Thirst (Dressed in Nothing But UV Paint and Biodegradable Glitter)', and finally landing on the peak dead-eyed sermon of 'Parasites (Honest Music for Dishonest People) ft. G19', the digital EP's presentation rounds off on a lean and severe remix from VTSS. It's an EP of restlessness, ruins, and ecstatic keyboard mashing because there's not an emoji that's demonic enough.

This first EP of the band is the synthesis of the sensibilities of the collective and the logical extension of their live performances of ALEA (s). Beyond the music, drawing and animation find their place there with neat artwork (and a limited series which includes drawings by FSTN the illustrator of the collective) and a vinyl which includes hundreds of drawings forming a mini animation movie loop if the disc is played under a stroboscopic light.

Following on from last year's album, Heart Of Sky, Damian Lazarus joins forces once again with his
spellbinding live project, The Ancient Moons, on Crosstown Rebels this April. He invites two of
Crosstown's most recent signees, BUTCH and Ae:ther, to provide their own take on the track.

The original cut of All I Need To Get High opens up with an atmospheric, broken beat intro. Lazarus explains
that he 'started with the pretext of the melody from the Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell classic and built a
psychedelic journey inspired by Pink Floyd and gospel choirs'. The breathy and soulful male vocals blend
effortlessly into the euphoric and hypnotising strings as the underpinning bassline drives the track onward.
'The song is deep, soulful and a little strange and I'm very proud of it,' Damian says. BUTCH creates a more
club aesthetic, adding a deep and rolling bass with squelchy synths and minimal vocals. A mesmerising
break bleeds back into the gritty bass. Next to provide their take is Ae:ther. He creates a more sinister and
foreboding feel with trance-like elements and an urgent beat.

Damian Lazarus & The Ancient Moons have unleashed a plethora of enchanting releases on Crosstown
over the past few years. 2015's album, Message From The Other Side, received high praise from the media
with The Fader calling it 'a journey into techno's dreamiest recesses' and Vice naming it a 'psychedelic
masterpiece'. Taken from last year's Heart Of Sky album, All I Need To Get High, features the vocal talents
of London singer Jesse Appiah, who has worked alongside Michael Kiwanuka, Jamie Woon, Kwabs and
Jess Glynne. BUTCH has worked alongside big names such as Ricardo Villalobos and released on the likes
of Rekids and Cocoon. His hard work has seen him awarded the title of Best Producer from Groove
Magazine two years running. As well as providing this remix for Lazarus, Ae:ther's debut album has also
been signed to Crosstown. 2019 will see the Berlin-based producer release once again on Afterlife as well as
unleashing his dazzling live-show on the world.

The second vinyl only release by Secret Keywords is a split record combining firstly two production versions by label head
Gianmarco Silvetti and Dahraxt. The second half or flip side is an original production from Giordanø alongside a remix from Conrad Van Orton.

Gianmarco's opening version of "Interstellar Cowboy" is made of stern stuff. Blistering claps, spaced out acid and an old school flare give this a unique feel.

Fellow Berliner, Dahraxt aka Mannella runs PicNic34 and its sublabel JTseries that has included contributions from Blawan, Sunil Sharpe for example.
Track two is his take on "Interstellar Cowboy" opting for a bubbling bassline with wild, looping samples, obscure textures but with a clear dance floor influence.

Giordanø is an Italian artist who has released music Illegal Alien, Affekt and Granulart.
His original track "Shimmer Mist" works a menacing gritty, analogue hook with a solid groove. Fairly stripped back and functional this is proper DJ weapon.

Conrad Van Orton rounds off the artists on this release. His remix of "Shimmer Mist" adds a more streamlined approach with a driving pulse. Additional deep chords add a classy melodic touch, but don't be fooled, this is a powerful masterpiece of sound architecture.

Lone and KETTAMA met at Glastonbury festival last year after being booked together for a B2B DJ set.
Although they had never DJ'ed together before their styles complimented each other perfectly and it was only natural that they get in the studio together.

The EP features one collaborative track and an original each from both artists but they way the tracks fit together you could be forgiven for thinking the whole EP was collaborative.

We know at R&S that Lone is capable of creating many different feelings with his music, working alongside KETTAMA seems to have pushed the euphoric, endorphin heightening 4/4 feels to the forefront. In turn KETTAMA reaches for some some synth lines that could have come straight from the Lone playbook. The influence of each artist on the other is plain to see and the results are three killer club tracks that people are going to be hard pushed to pick a favourite from.

We'll leave the final words to the artists:

KETTAMA:
"Matt (Lone) is a person I respect so highly as a producer so working with him on this EP was a seriously good time! The whole record came together so naturally in the end and super happy with the way it came out!"

“Releasing on R&S really is a mammoth thing for me personally. The label is not only, in my opinion one of the most iconic, long standing and diverse record labels since its inception but is also home to a lot of the music that stays most memorable to me when growing up and going out to raves when I was first getting into electronic music. The label is also where I first discovered Matt’s music through YouTube digging many moons ago and have been so influenced by it ever since. The combination of all these things makes it all the more special to do this record with him on this special label.”

Lone
“The first time me and Evan met in person was literally 15 minutes before our set together at Glastonbury last year. The set felt so natural and fun - it was clear to me we had the same ear for a vibe then and there - hearing his music for the first time gave me that buzz as well - effortlessly banging and euphoric so it felt right to carry that feeling over for this project. We didn’t need to talk too much or over analyse what we were doing, it was just about catching that vibe that I think connects our solo music so strongly. Evan is a beast producer, his music is some of the most exciting club music out there so it was a total honour to collaborate on this EP - and for it to land on R&S is a huge deal for the both of us… This project is about having fun, catching a vibe - total escapism exactly what we need at this time.”

WC0016 releases the fourth installment on ALLISANDNOT in collaboration with Abono.
This is his most personal work since the label was launched and it reveals the artist's true multidisciplinary facet.

The next strut of Lanthan.audio comes from curator Christian Gerlach himself. After an intense episode of exploring human architecture, it is time to open a new chapter and devote itself to the far more complex and graceful architecture of nature. With this five original tracks Christian shows the diversity of his productions facets and ranks in the series of his label.

An intricate lattice of runaway storms are tailored into E-Saggila's latest EP, 'Anima Bulldozer.' Careering off the edge from its own furious torque at some intersections, E-Saggila resolves the heady gains of the commotion with some of her most soothing composition to date by the EP's close.

We're glad to share another vinyl relic by adept veteran Feral. 'Woodland' takes us on a trip through his immaculate craftsmanship and inimitable sound, lacing contemporary minimalist deep dub techno with tribal psychedelia.

Feral consistently carries a thread of spirituality throughout his work. Embodying the sound of deep techno through his passion for audio engineering, hardware experimentation and fascination for percussive instruments, as well as an affinity for the shamanic becomes apparent when we swirl in tribal timbres and rhythms.

Finding comfort in the solitude of his studio; the sounds of Feral unearth the path of his multidimensional world, transporting the listener to a haunting, yet grounding refuge within.

The record will be pressed in two color alternatives and come sheathed inside our custom cut hansaboard sleeves, printed in full color with an oil painting by Gabriella Holmstrom.

Excellent acid techno power-tracks from the biggest artists out there!

Leading through experimentation, Luca Vollaro aka Electrorites has been an unyielding force throughout the global techno scene. After establishing Nightmare Factory in 2010 and the subsequent release and success of his 2016 acclaimed album “Structures”, the Italian producer has not ceased in his expedition for excellence. Now releasing the 4th iteration of his archival series, “STR004 Archives Vol.4”, is a monolithic EP of digital soundscapes.
Releasing through his newly established label, Structures Records, “STR004 Archives Vol.4” is a relentless battery of hard techno basslines and abstracted beats. Composed of three archived tracks, 010, 011 and 012, this EP is a cavernous inception of industrial techno.
Leading the charge, Archive 010 is a robust and tireless propulsion into the depths of Electrorites’ mind. Hi-hats and computational effects ring throughout producing high powered and hysteria inducing sequences. Distorted and unclear at points, the track feeds off its adrenaline spiking nature to entrap listeners.
To follow, Archive 011 begins with a clean and rigid bassline, that eventually devolves into a futuristic and chaotic pass. Swept up in the evolution of the track, the mind is carried out of the body for a rhythmic onslaught of the senses. Then, out of seemingly thin air, a voice cuts through the noise, the voice of Charlie Chaplin in The Great Dictator. The uplifting monologue conjures up emotions and ignites the commonality of man, creating a unified electro-body.
Concluding the EP Archive 012 is the final assault in Electrorites’ work. Carrying similar kick and bass arrangements to tracks past, Archive 012 blares out uncompromising tones and is remorseless in its inflexibility. Ending on an abstract flurry of sound, Electrorites has once again demonstrated his techno prowess and electronic dexterity. “STR004 Archives Vol.4” is to be released in the end of June via Structures Records.

Jesse is one most interesting electronic acts of the Northern countries. Stiletti-Ana and Kalifornia-Keke make up the core of the band that plays with new genres and often explores new musical areas. In the bands residence, the studio in Helsinki with a collection of retro futuristic synthesizers that would make even William Onyeabor envy, the members are toying with new influences and creates deep pulsating and atmospheric songs. Höga Nord Rekords now release two of them as a 7”.

This single has more in common with Stiletti-Anas solo record from 2019 than of earlier releases by Jesse and is more oriented towards and ambient- and leftfield sound than “Fluids” from 2018. The songs bubble and flows beneath a tense surface. The music is suggestive and soft, still with a club nerve in it.

Jesse often chooses new musical paths and this release is the start of such a new direction.

Once again the Black Brook Limited Series presents finest techno. Access Control comes like a nightmare when you have got something to hide and you are electrified if all the machines and security agents around you try to uncover your secret.

Manchester's Lack lands on Livity Sound with the 'Inside' EP following on from recent releases with UK labels Cong Burn and Blank Mind,

This new record distills the Lack aesthetic across four tracks. The title track's pulsating drift channels Chain Reaction and vintage Kode 9; 'Machine Club' brings a thumping deep techno sprawl; whilst the grit laden 'Rrrush and 'Shifter' build and innovate on UK rhythm styles. The 'Inside' EP is a window in to the world of Lack and a major statement of intent from one of the UK's most promising rising producers.

Livity Sound is a label set up by Peverelist in 2011 as a vehicle for a raw and exploratory strain of UK techno, rooted in the heritage of UK dance music and sound system culture. It has since become one of the UK's foremost protagonists for cutting edge underground music.

It's that time again where everyone is scrambling to get their end-of-year lists. It's easy to forget though that at the end of 2002 this stick of Detroit dynamite was in everyone's top selections, and actually for a good reason: it's a stone-cold classic, a definitive UR anthem, and despite being released post- millennium is up there with the most memorable Detroit Techno records of all time.

‘Dutton Bleeds Out’ see’s the A side play this year’s protest anthem with a not-so-subtle reference to Australia’s demonic Minister for Home Affairs. This is anti-fascism-manifest; neatly packaged as a dance-floor ready, low-end punch to the guts. ~ Pop the finger guns and take aim at Parliament!

Amelie Len's tight-knit techno imprint Lenkse has taken the Belgium scene and beyond by storm, with crew member Milo Spykers reveling in fogged-out cuts with an appetite for power and an affinity towards the gritty soul of techno. Spykers makes his third appearance on the prolific label with the glorious Accelerator EP, ahead of now post-poned sets at the acclaimed Tomorrowland and Extrema Outdoor festivals this summer.

Opening with title track 'Accelerator', a no-nonsense booming kick drum and acidic licks make for a colossal track that teases the 90s whilst remaining future forward. The B-side only builds on the cosmic energy; 'The Debris' turns to the melodic, employing infectious synth work and languid vocal inflections. Spyker's flair for sprawling sound design is felt throughout, coming to fruition on the hypnotic 'Heads Tilted Back', featuring creeping percussive elements, psychedelic riffs and an indisputable groove.

Three cuts destined to ignite the dance floor with Spyker's consistent intensity, the record is an intoxicating listen.

Suction Records is excited to unleash the first in a series of extensive archival releases by a new artist, bedroom producer RX-101. This previously unreleased material dates from 1997 -1999, recorded live to cassette in a feverish burst of creativity, utilizing a small arsenal of classic techno tools inc uding the Roland TR-808, TB-303, Juno-106, and his beloved SH-1 01. What's astonishing about RX-101 is the sheer volume of diverse and stunning material recorded in just 2 years. Fans of Aphex Twin's Analogue Bubblebath and Caustic Window series will rejoice in the authentic early-90s Rephlex-ian burst of "EP 1.' From the eerie, isolationist-rave stomp of opener 'Tunnel,' to the emotive, primitive electronica of 'Bloom(pt.1),' through to the majestic, ambient melodicism of closer 'If I Could Ever Get...,' the 6 tracks found on 'EP 1' serve as an exciting introduction to RX-101' s treasure-trove of vintage Rephlex-style electronics.

After resurfacing in 2017 with Chicago Bee Records, label owner Mark Churcher has received a steady stream of interest for his old label Emote and band V-Neck (co writer Doug Martin) The repeated interest of the 90s label has sparked this re issue.

Now a monstrous 25 years old it would appear this record is still very much appreciated by the few that bought it at the time. And until now extremely hard to find with only 500 pressed in 1995

Side A fuses ambient, dub and techno at a time when this sound was still developing as a sub genre.

Side B leans more towards dark electronica and techno

The MINDFULNESS HIPERNORMALISATION album itself marks a new turn in Eduardo's work, breaking away from any musical style or stereotype and always trying to seeking freedom of expression,marked also by a strong connotation of voluntary ostracism.A new stage in which Eduardo uses this double vinyl like a tool to mark a distance with the current international scene and also support the Adam Curtis theories shown on his acclamed documentary "The HiperNormalisation" 2016 . The album show influences that goes from romantic ambient melodies to the most complex and experimental electronica,also including easy listening techno where it is difficult to differentiate the line between techno and ambient.

Francois Kervorkian,DJ and official engineer of albums belonging to Depeche Mode or Kraftwerk, gives support to this great work of Eduardo which will remain in the near future and without any doubt as a cult album.

After Recondite's Daemmerlicht album from last year, here we finally are with a strong and diverse remix package by Dominik Eulberg, Uchi and Alex.Do - Atmospheric reworks for the dancefloor and for the mind!

The third Various Artists release on JAM, 'Four JAM on Three' feature Sisko Electrofanatik & Lazar, Episode1, Luis Miranda and Timebandit

The 1990's launched an onslaught of projects and musical influences to a new generation of listeners to a re-emergence of electro. Paying homage to those before, a four-man crew from the east side of Detroit, AUX88, laid down the foundation of the gritty sound of the streets, and made their presence known via urban radio, dance clubs, and overseas venues. The time has come for those who were major influences to add their touch to the continuation of that sonic pallet.

*"MY AUX MIND" (Cybotron Mix)*
Reworked & refined, "The Originator", joins forces on the classic jam. Pumped up by the cosmic bass slaps as the man himself, Juan Atkins, injects his futuristic, cool vocals over this mix's voyage into a funky electro masterpiece.

*"MY AUX MIND" (Original Mix)*
A stark & bold radio hit that brought about the electro revival makes its appearance on this must-have essential. Reminding a new era of its statement to move butts on its own terms. Definitely classic.

*"MY AUX MIND" (Egyptian Lover Mix)*
Rehashed by the "Master of the 808", the Egyptian Lover takes hold of the track adding his signature beats, robotic vocorder vocals, and mythic melodies as if it was his own. A complete dance floor boogie statement to the art by one of the group's heaviest influences.

This February, Rekids look to the venerable talents of Len Faki for three fantastic remixes of tracks from FBK's 2019 debut album, ‘More Stories From The Future’.

For two decades, German artist Len Faki has towered over the techno underground thanks to his renowned DJ sets at cult venues like Berghain, and his always on point productions.

They have come on staples like Ostgut Ton and Cocoon, but mostly on his own powerhouse outlet Figure. Over the years, Faki has provided a number of excellent remixes on Rekids, including Dustin Zahn and Radio Slave himself, thus it’s incontestable that he’s the best person to remix Kevin Kennedy’s incredible album – and the result speaks for itself.

Up first is his ‘Hardspace Mix’ of 'Headless', which becomes a sublime seven-minute techno roller. Utterly hypnotic throughout, it has looped one-word vocals, smooth claps and wiry synth lines all intertwined with perfectly rubber kicks.

The excellent mix of 'I'll Sit Back' builds to a more manic peak, with hammering hits and steel-plated drums all demanding you march to the increasingly dark techno groove as a vocal repeat’s the title over and over. Finally, the mix of 'Hassling' is built on hulking great drums that will rattle warehouse walls, and has dub techno chords draped throughout: it finds a perfect sweet spot between irresistible functionality and atmospheric form.

a t (Lena Platonos) is a Greek musician, pianist and music composer. Her third solo album, 'Lepidoptera' was produced in 1986 and reissued by Dark Entries in 2018. Inspired by a scientific book on butterflies she found in a trashcan one day, the compositions follow minimalistic motifs and carefully-staged soundscapes. Lena narrates each song in deadpan fashion, skillfully reciting her surreal Greek poetry.

We've recruited 4 contemporary Greek producers to remix their favorite tracks from 'Lepidoptera'. First up is 'Cyaniris' remixed by Anatolian Weapons who delivers an enchanted late-night journey through the New Wave forest. Next is 'Araschnia Levana' remixed by Pasiphae who speeds up the pace with machine driven melodic electro pulses. On the B-side we have June remixing 'Cyaniris' twirling the track into a complex deep sea dive with lush drum kicks and pads. Closing out the EP is a remix of 'a Gee´a ´ Aporia Maturna' by Morah who leads us to the underworld of Hades via sinister squelches and full-on apocalyptic rave breakdown. All songs have been mastered for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. The jacket is a reinterpretation of the original 'Lepidoptera' cover, isolating the illustration of the butterfly/woman designed by Eloise Leigh.

We're proud to announce Intrusion (cv313/echospace) reworks of Phase90's, "Infinitati" an album Boomkat hailed as, "a place to dip your toes in Deepchord/Echospace's oceans of sound, this is it." A night time walk on the wrong side of the street, creepy and ominous in nature as a result of the possessive quality of supernatural textures, field recordings and found sounds conducted at the Calvary Cemetery. Utilizing the original 1/4" tape recordings and individual sounds, Intrusion builds on the foundation steps further, using the mixing board as the primary instrument as well as, tape splicing, 12 bit loop stations and other audio wizardry. The material on this 12" ep can be interpreted as sinistral--dark,, heavy due to the hardware and its currencies emitted by its source--the phase 90. An acidic dream residing somewhere in the ether. Absolutely essential listening and horizontal grooving for the ages!

Red Rising out of the ruins - dystopian producer and mastermind Rødhåd follow up with his third EP on Dystopian since 2012.
In three tracks between hell and mars, the red techno man shows his amazing melancholic and deep style.

Superlux is the latest project from Mike Gill, Nick Gynn and Johnny Hunter. With years of combined experience in the
industry, each member brings their own unique flavour to the mix. The end result being the trio's debut release, Superlux
001, on their new imprint: Superlux Records.

The EP begins with Mike Gill’s Noisy Rework of White Noise . A breakbeat style cut that harks back to the early days of dance
music, stuttering percussion and intermittent hi hats help form a track that feels modern yet mature. Chupa Track continues in the same vein, as a mechanical synth rotates alongside echoing calls and robot-esque keys, before Take One ups the tempo as
reverberating pads clunk on top of a slow moving bassline. Rounding off the EP is the Dawl remix of Take One . A similarly eerie number, pulses and beeps merge with choppy breaks to form a futuristic, extra-terrestrial sounding cut.

Vol. II of our compilations called “The Spacy Saga” comes with 6 original mental mind missiles from five truly underground rising composers - check it out.

Hailing from Amsterdam, Melawati, also known as Melawati Modular, is a composer, sound designer, avid lover of modular synths, and an experimental live electronic music artist making his debut on Ellum Audio. His beautiful single also features two astounding remixes by the maestro and label head Maceo Plex and melancholic masters Tale of Us.

The excellent 'Daliah' is a smooth and seductive journey through lush melody and productive synth work. Those synths come in various forms, from fluid smears to more pixelated stabs. The restless breakbeats below his humming tunes add to the sense of adventure as you race through the cosmos on the galactic journey Melawati has created.

Maceo Plex steps up to remix, with a version that has tense, textured chord vamps, punchy kicks, and enigmatic twinkling keys raining down from above. It is epic and cinematic and a perfect fit for his always far-gazing label.

Finally, the acclaimed Italian duo treats us with their excellent remix. Tale of US flip the cut into a spacious melodic techno track with dramatic breakdowns, big chord builds, and a cruising groove that will carry the auditor into the next dimension.

This is an innovative, classy melodic techno track of the highest order.

In 2012 Paul Kalkbrenner released the very succesful single - Das Gezabel' from his current album - Guten Tag'. For the inclusion within the brandnew remix album which is ready for summer 2014 the by choice Berliners Pan-Pot picked this track for their remix. After joining Paul Kalkbrenner for his 2013 world tour they deliver a classic piece of Pan-Pot prodcuction which means elegant high-end techno, straight and direct to your head and for the dancefloor. The characteristic melodic lines from the original show up every now and then making a nice counterpart to the heavy bass & beat orgy created by Pan-Pot for this futuristic approach towards techno.

Apollo is a new concept project from me, spread across 3 EPs which throw back to the 90s melodic Techno and Progressive Trance sound. Although my roots are firmly in Breakbeat-Rave, I was also captivated by the big room sound of labels like R&S, Guerilla, Hard Hands and Sven Väth’s Harthouse from that same period of time. My studio is full of old equipment that fuelled that original European sound so I quickly found myself focussing on a bunch of tracks that are heavily influenced by some really special music that often gets forgotten."

Debut full-length from Spatial. A Music of Sound Systems is a blur of dub and techno and club music, all abstracted to create a suite of ambient / industrial deconstructed electronics.
UK artist Spatial reveals his debut album 'A Music of Sound Systems' to be released via his own Infrasonic's imprint, the anticipated LP is a culmination and exploration of the raw and experimental sound for which he has become synonymous. Following on from his Emergence series, released across 3 parts in 2015-2016, Spatial's debut album is a step away from the series but also a deconstruction of it, incorporating key sounds as well his new hardware set up, road tested at last years live Mutek performance. Framed by the abstract art movement 'Suprematism' and Russian artist Lissitzky in particular, 'A Music Of Sound Systems' is an audio exploration of space, volume, mass and rhythm as well as an homage to both Caribbean and UK soundsystem culture. As Spatial explains the album is Visceral music that inhabits in a kind of architectural form..the stereo panning in the tracks hints at 3D in a similar way to the work of Lissitzky' With musique concrète and the Darmstadt School both cited as inspirations, Spatial takes ideas of obscuring and manipulating but instead interprets them into more club-aligned compositions. Combining these concepts, album opener 'Doping conductor' mixes tense soundscapes with crackling synths and a void like sinking bass. 'Proun', a direct reference to Lissitsky, builds with escalating ominous intent whilst 'Quiddity Dub' draws heavily on Spatial's dub roots. 'Walking off' is a turning point on the LP as a vast and deserted ambient landscape materializes before 'Routine conflict' combines distorted noise with echoing and apprehensive synths. 'System I' quickens with visceral scratches over a brooding siren like call before 'A Music Of Sound Systems' closes out the LP with an eerie and staggered melody, rumbling outwards. The split production location between his hometown of London and the Canary Islands is reflected in the contradiction of moods in the album. Juxtaposing the intensity of urban life with the idyllic rural settings of La Palma, the album conjures harsh grey and industrial scenes alongside softer ambient tones offering up moments of respite.

Synkro handpicks three great producers to remix tracks from his ‘Images’ album. Claro Intelecto has been releasing consistently on point deep techno and electro since 2003. His remix is perfectly equipped for dancefloors in 2020. Sad City represents R&S offshoot Meda Fury with a trademark hypnotic beatdown workout and Apollo label mate and collaborator Sieren ramps up the emotions for his remix of the title track.

12inch release of highly sought after Colored Music edits by Tokyo's, Chee Shimizu (Organic Music). The two cuts originally featured on the the bands seminal self titled album (from 1981) that remained a cult DJ secret weapon, for many years, all over the world. This heavy EP includes an alternative version of 'Heartbeat' that featured on the Japan only "Individual Beauty" LP of 2018 (also compiled by Shimizu)

Shanghai’s forward-facing Svbkvlt turn out a killer surprise drop from Hyph11e and Kode 9 after their raucous Gooooose & Dj Scotch Egg throw down Last spotted on a body-spinning split session with Slikback for Hakuna Kulala/Svbkvlt in 2019,
Hyph11e’s Tess Sun renders her most polluted atmospheres over panel-beating mutant techno rhythms in ‘Barnacles’; spending the first half fulminating amorphous, cranky sound design before
emerging from the chthonic murk with a foul head of industrial bashment.
As an avowed fan of Svbkvlt’s aesthetic, and a regular visitor to their region, Kode 9 is the ideal candidate to rework ‘Barnacles’, refitting it with signature wavey top line and recalibratiing the rhythm to a hybrid of rolling mid ‘90s hardcore breaks, nippy 2-step, and glyding UK Drill bass graffitti that firmly marks up his first outing since 2019’s ‘Digging In The Cart’ reworks of Japanese computer game soundtracks.

"CN006" Vinyl was released on the 14th April, 2020 and has so far received great support from industry and artists including Perc, Tommy Four Seven, Manni Dee, Rebekah, SNTS, Warin D, Swarm Intelligence, and many more ...

The next stop on the Two Shell voyage; following on from sell outs of both their debut on Livity Sound and N35 white label, the blood brothers bring together an EP of joyful yet shadowy, powerful and highly energetic tracks. Recalling the usual elements of UK techno that they are becoming known for, this release displays a more widely expressive side to their sound and invites listeners deeper into the duo's world.

Birthed from a radio show and event series with iconic Los Angeles radio station DUBLAB, SOS MUSIC’s goal is to provide a platform for diverse and forward-thinking electronic music, with a keen emphasis on womxn talent from around the world. In conjunction with Berlin-based !K7, the label’s debut release, SOS MUSIC Vol. 1 is a 14-track eclectic compilation showcasing dance music from some of the best producers working at the moment including rRoxymore, Violet, Nightwave, Umfang, LCY & Minimal Violence - lovingly curated to uplift and celebrate the global electronic community in a time of deep uncertainty in the music industry. SOS MUSIC Vol. 1 is international to its core, drawing on in?uences from the artists’ respective backgrounds including the UK, US, Serbia, Spain, Japan, Slovenia, Portugal, Germany & Canada.

SOS MUSIC was founded in Los Angeles by Maddy Maia (UK) and Tottie (Spain via the UK). Maddy has a long history in independent music, and is currently VP A&R in the US for famed British indie label Ninja Tune. Tottie is director of events and special projects at DUBLAB, and curates music, art and cultural programming that re?ects the diverse landscape of the city and beyond.

A shared love of underground music and culture, Maia and Tottie’s bond started strong via throwing events and later with hosting a monthly radio show; The SOS Music imprint is a natural next step in the pair’s progression as curators and its goal will continue early principles the duo stuck to- to seek out diverse underground talent and amplify their voice or community, whilst championing diversity on all sides of the industry. Maddy and Tottie’s music in?uences and styles span wide across the spectrum of experimental dance music, ranging from left?eld house, orchestral ambient sounds, not forgetting a nod to their youth growing up in the UK rave scene.

Tough stomping, highly effective big room Techno package.

The Berlin based Alexander Kowalski is responsible for projects like DisX 3 (Tresor, Konsequent), Mr. Discoteque (BCC), as Double X together with Stassy (Sender Berlin) and last but not least under his real name Alexander Kowalski exclusive for Kanzleramt. After his debut 12inch for Kanzleramt titled "Live" featured two unchanged live recordings, Alex released his second 12inch "Dark Soul" in 2000 which includes the first solo-studio-recordings for Kanzleramt. This 12" gives you a taste for Alexander Kowalski's follow up LP "Echoes". The acutely harmonic tracks on "Dark Soul" are a tribute to the dark side of Alexander Kowalski and may belong to one of the best productions without a doubt in 2000. Alexander released his really successful long-player "Response" in 2003 and his 12inch release "Alexander Kowalski With Funk D'Void And Joris Voorn" on Kanzleramt at last.

Journey through the beauty and brutality of Mother Earth with "When The Ice will Break", a four-track techno EP from Italian producer, Mod21, breaking a year-long pause for On the 5th Day's label.

Samuel van Dijk aka VC-118A returns to Delsin and gives us a taste of what's cooking in his futuristic electro lab. On this fierce two-tracker 'Crunch / Plonk' the Dutch producer presents two rough cuts of his trademark machine sound. Three smoke-filled endless loops add up to the a-side for a taste of his forthcoming album early next year.

Yila, an ex-Londoner based in Ljubljana collaborated with two Dj's: French London based Giom and Slovenian Alleged Witches.

The combinations were the focus; each person bringing their unique style, this natural melding deciding the genre without confines, guided by the Dj's understanding of what works in the club.

Sprinklings of nostalgia meet a future thinking fusion of dance music with a focus on slick production. There is a subject matter; not expressed through the contrived mind but through a subconscious sonic delivery, allowing the political nature of the music speak for itself.

Four high alert Cyborg nightmare files. Predictions of wars on hypergravity planet sectors in the distant future. Fullmetal Cyberspace. Errand messages from off-world vegetation. 'The mycelial body is as fragile as a spider's web but the collective hyper-mind and memory is a vast historical archive of the career of evolving intelligence on many worlds in our spiral star swarm'.

During the last 5 years Herrensauna has become one of the most esteemed spaces of Berlin's queer underground. Showcasing a sound between experimental sonics and heavy techno in an open and intimate club setting, the collective has launched a batch with some of the most influential artists of the new generation of techno such as residents SPFDJ, Héctor Oaks and co-founders CEM and MCMLXXXV.

UX 002 A is looking at the link between how hard a kick drum can be without scaring people too much, a fine balance I believe. The B side does not have a kick drum. These two tracks are not good friends.

'Keep it Simple' is anything but, the atmosphere came from an early morning field recording in the departure lounge of Milan airport, the chatter and noise comes over as something almost alien and the melody came later after an alcohol soaked evening sitting by candlelight with friends, playing the piano. Despite it's multiple layers it has only one message - give trance a chance. 'At Last' is a more direct affair, with a classic call and response pattern, the 0-coast shouts aggressively at the microbrute and the microbrute responds with a howl not dissimilar to a lost whale calf calling for its mother.. either that or its just a banger.

Another phenomenal release on the already acclaimed Blumoog Music. Three tracks of absolute quality and pure energy. Mreux opens the project with ‘Radar’, an explosion of psycho-acid that will take you to a new dimension. ‘Deep Space’ is characterized by a powerful and mentally persuasive groove, a journey to the edge of the mind.

Scandinavian techno legend Joel Mull (Parabel , Drumcode, Hproductions) contributes with ‘Deep Space remix’. A very strong techno cut with a solid kick and relentless percussions, pure techno in form and beauty Limited edition coloured vinyl makes this release on Blumoog Music even more appealing. Don’t miss this episode as it will give you a taste on what’s to come in the near future.

Maurizio one of the founding members of Concrete Records drops 2 original tracks that bring us into hypnotic landscapes full of deep groove and abstraction.

Ethereal and strong at the same time, this tracks are made for being played in the most disparate dj sets both as regular "dj tools" and as real killer tracks.

To confirm this, the two Tensal remixes lead the release to even more extreme territories, without however deforming the "mood" of the tracks.

A perfect match for a release that has a well-defined and very powerful sound.

Limited edition of 150 copies

Emerging producer Patrick Conway delivers the goods on the second EP to be released on Art E-Fax.
E-FAX002 is a selection of submerged breaks, dark and spectral bass grooves and washed out melodies all combining to make release that is as eerie as it is infectious. A producer who describes his influences as being 'transcendental meditation, UK Rave, Sheffield bleep/Warp records, Carl Craig circa the early '90s, Silent Servant, Shabba Ranks and joss sticks smoking out the studio', it's not hard to hear the shadowy, dense smoke and heavy calm that unifies those inspirations.
