Support from: DAVE CLARKE, TRUNCATE, MARK BROOM, ELECTRIC RESCUE, GERD, THE ADVENT...

Label Head S-File returns with his new two track techno banger No Reply and Bliss. His last collab reelease with the german Turbo Turbo brothers "Contact", was a charted in all digital and vinyl shop sales charts and was supported from Tiga, Brodinski, David Carretta over to Fatboy Slim. His new double A Side Single blows everybody on the dance floor away!

Continuously reimagining his sound and style, the Grammy-winning artist Sharam digs deep into his bag of production tricks for his new project Collecti, drawing heavily from the darker influences of techno. The album is comprised of a host of new material that he has been field testing with incredible response. "Collecti is a culmination of work that represents my endeavours into a sound that has always been near and dear to my heart and central to my sets: Techno. For my last album Retroactive, I was fixated on all of my influences over the years, for this album, however, my focus is on the darker realms. These records are my dance floor experiments, my secret weapons, tracks that have been driving my sets and I'm excited to share this body of work with everyone." - Sharam
'Spaci' is the closest the album gets to house territory, with a groovy bassline and scattering drum fills, while a remastered version of Sharam's 2010 tour de force 'Hemi' populates this single's B-side, a spastic eight-minute epic that pits chaotic synth squeals and chopped up noise against trudging, liquefied bass.

3n0 is a new record label launched by YAY Recordings, with the main purpose of promoting new and
emerging artists. The first release is credited to Gianluca Casnici as a young talent that is part of the
stable of DJ YAY events. "Ethereal EP" is composed of 4 solid tracks ranging in Electro and techno
with deep and refined melodies with a clear reference to the sounds of Detroit.

REPRESSED !!
Shlomo opens the EP with a deep and droning, yet uptempo track. Ben Gibson continues on the A-side with a synth and tom-driven track, in which the main synth really draws you into the track. Takaaki Itoh is put on the B1 spot and continues the deep vibe the artists set on the A-side, yet in a more minimalistic way. His track keeps on evolving and growing ever more, while the track in it's core does not change that much. Overall Severity closes the EP off with a moody banger. This dance floor oriented track focuses on percussive elements and the drums a lot. This track is one of the last ones made by the late Max_M, who formed Overall Severity together with Wrong Asessment, which makes this EP a little bit more special. Four different artists, but a great sounding EP with four tracks that compliment each other really well!

Spencer Parker returns to Radio Slave's Rekids imprint for two stripped back cuts in the second instalment of 'No More Silly Club Songs' this February.
The Work Them Records founder and Rekids regular dropped the first four track package last summer, which was a series of tools produced with Parker's own DJ sets in mind. Vol.2 initiates with robust kicks and shuffling hats in 'Silly Club Song No.5' whilst charismatic chords operate amongst drum rolls and a vocal crying out 'dance'. On the other hand, 'No.6' follows a similar muscular aesthetic yet incorporates a 'Reese' inspired bassline as percussive elements rattle throughout. Supported by Radio Slave, Rodhad, DJ Rolando, Marcel Dettman, Ben Sims, Mr. G amongst others.

Attic Laqs series continues with the owner of Gravite Records Bruno Sacco. His work starts with some grainy-noisey grooves in a danceable rhythm and pressurized synths.
In the b-side Sacco turns into a nine minutes deep techno track 'Imaginaria'. A dark corridor where different shades of pads get a conversation with an acidic chord in a lighted nocturnal way

After rumors have started of re-pressing the much requested and super rarely Le Nid D'oiseau EP from the year 2003, Charles Noel and the label decided to go rather for an all new 12".
The EP contains 4 unreleased eclectic techno tracks dated back to the time of the predecessor. Charles Noel aka Archetype is definitively a wizard behind the machines, creating such an awesome and impressive atmosphere with not that many elements

New Year - New artist keeping it freaky and strictly Sponky!
Irelands Kalla makes his DABJ debut with four killers that we have been sitting on for a criminally long time (sorry mate!). We are extremely happy to finally get these out on wax so everyone else can enjoy popping their woofers and tweeters as much as we have over the past 6 months!
Limited to 300 copies, hand stamped labels with love from Glasgow. Props to Lindsay Todd from Firecracker for the sweet stamp designs!

1x each customer! Future Times is very juiced to announce a two-track 12" from one of DC's freshest, Sami, of the wonderful 1432 R crew! "Planing" cruises with morphing late night drums and blasted flutes through a gang of FX and synth wash, and "Sickos" is another all-nighter, a crispy bubbler that keeps swingin' and slammin', for body and mind. Deejays take heed, this is 1 u need

REPRESSED !!

DDS prise another absolute gem from Japan's Shinichi Atobe, presenting 6-tracks of original,
previously unreleased material recorded some time in the last 20 years in Saitama, Japan which perfectly complements the sublime ambient house zen of his Butterfly Effect album.
The reclusive artist has seen a lot of justified, and somewhat overdue, praise surrounding the reissue of his sole early release, the Ship Scope 12' which was originally issued by Berlin's Chain Reaction, label in 2001, whilst the dispatch of his distinguished and subtly diverse Butterfly Effect LP arguably came as a surprise for many heads who had him pegged out solely as a dub house producer.
His new World EP will expand those preconceptions again, coursing a beautifully louche and debonaire vibe from the most minimal loops and motifs - the kind that one could play all day and would hardly ever tire of hearing them.
The supple, floating DX7 bass contours and vaporous jazz chords of Intro start up like some Chicago or NYC deep house classic lost in its own reverie, and could o n for as long as it wants,
before the rainy day piano house melancholy of World 1 promptly inverts that supple aesthetic with a fizzing, hazy sort of depth perception and World 2 switches again to a sort of trim dub momentum in stepping, swinging equilibrium, riding the groove like no other.
Turn over and the lingering, slowed downstroke of World 3 sounds like it got waylaid from a KGB MAN/0PN session with Wolfgang Voigt, whilst World 4 jettisons the bass altogether to thizz and skip away in the highest registers with an intoxicatingly heady, mesmerising appeal which also makes the uniquely brittle but spacious breakbeat trip of World 5 so narcotically seductive.
We hardly need to spell it out for you,- this is highly idiosyncratic, exceptional material, with highest recommendations to anyone with a or taste for house and ambient's refined, soulful and experimental echelons.

Vesa-Matti is a member of the Meltdown Deejays collective that was founded in his hometown Vaasa back in 1993.

Meltdown is now releasing the Miller Street Sessions Ep containing five of Vesa-Matti's tracks. These sounds originated in his previous studio, located in an old brick building on Miller Street. The late night sessions in a building that mostly hosted rock bands resulted in several hours of recorded drum patterns, loops and synth lines creating a fascinating fusion of Nordic-flavoured dub esthetics and twisted sound manipulations. From this sound diary Vesa-Matti cut and edited five tracks for the Miller Street Sessions Ep. This work of art is pressed in 300 copies. Get yours and play it loud!

KEY Vinyl don their scouting caps once again for another split EP featuring fledgling and debuting talents. First up is The Plant Worker. This French DJ and producer isn't exactly new to the game, but as The Plant Worker he's been slowly journeying down harder, rawer trajectories—as the name may suggest. With a trio of EPs out already, Iota 001' and Iota 002' continues his exploration into purer techno forms with two cuts of deep, probing, loopy floor material.

Then on the flip, KEY Vinyl unveil the first works from masked newcomer Transient X4. Lost In Perceptions' is a jangling sic fi trip to techno's bleak and pitch-black periphery, whilst Ways To Space' sends its cosmic theme off for a spell in the basement, coming out as a monstrous peak-time send off.

Ability II's bleep milestone from 1990, the evergreen 'Pressure', gets a careful reissue. The crucial 'Pressure Dub' is here, alongside a new remix from longtime fan Luca Lozano, who steps with with a respectful roller, and supplies the full cover art. Restored and mastered by Thomas P Heckmann at Trope. Cut by Andreas Kauffelt at Schnittstelle. Artwork by Luca Lozano.

After last Autumn's 'Knowledge EP', Héctor Oaks returns to KEY Vinyl with four more solid dancefloor fillers of the kind we're starting to expect from the Berlin-based upstart. Now several records deep and with his fourth Berghain set firmly behind him, these days his sound is about as honed and gratifying as skills from the booth. And 'Kepler 186f' is the proof.

On the A-side Dissolve' sets its sinews to march on this taut, tough and punchy number. Radial Clicles' then reins in the muscle a bit in favour of a more skulking, spectral slow-build. Meanwhile on the B-side, Stone Storage' sends cool cymbals and crunchy hats on a sinuous, calculated romp. Leaving Avoid Reality' to close in noisy, bombastic fashion. But watch out—this one's a bit of a tease.

Limited edition of 100 copies worldwide. The limited edition comes with an extra one-sided disc filled with eight locked grooves. Each one lands fully formed and are trippy mental workouts.Warped percussive loops, blissed out and high tempo house, dark drones, Mills style minimalism and more.

With the original release marking Rekids return from hiatus, Radio Slave's The Clone Wars is now revisited with a trio of new interpretations from three distinctive talents on house & techno.

On the A side, Markus Suckut moulds the original into the kind of no-nonsense rolling techno jam that has personified his releases for Mosaic and Figure. The B side enlists two US talents in the shape of Parris Mitchell and DJ Spider, with the former bringing a glitchy take on the jacking Chicago house that Mitchell perfected in his timeless productions for Dance Mania, and the latter shaping the track into crunchy weirdo techno that sits perfectly alongside his output for The Trilogy Tapes and his own NY-based Plan B Recordings.

10"
Truncate's 6th release on limited 10" vinyl with 2 tracks titled "Bodega". Hard and heavy warehouse tracks

If this record was a fruit, it would be two melons. But it's not. It's a compilation of four tracks by Adryiano, Monogenic, Kastil and D.J. Shmugs - most probably for club use. Or work, if you are weird enough.
Tip: Tracks so different you can secretly flip the record and play them all to save space in your record bag.

After 20 years as a dj and several releases on labels just like Anthony Rother´s Datapunk, Dave Clarke´s Whitenoise or co-labs with Gez Varley from LFO, Frank Kusserow took a longer break from the active electronic music scene. In the meantime he produced tons of new tracks that result in his new and vinyl only imprint Sprow Recordings. The name Sprow comes from his career as a BMX professional in the early 80´s and the logo of the label was created in that time also. Herewith he fulfills his long term dream to start a record label, where he only decides about the musical output. The labels philosophy is to always feature different styles on each release, from straight Techno to Acid, Dub, Detroit and more electro influenced or melodic stuff.

The first release "Mind the Acid EP" includes 3 tracks. "Mind the Acid" on the A-Side is a straight forward and epic acid stomper. "Altered States" on B1 is a hypnotic, more melodic piece of techno and "Dub Reason Pt.1" closes the EP with more dubby and quiet vibes. Stay tuned for more releases coming soon on Sprow Recordings.

N.O.I.A. Records is proud to announce the arrival of an eight track album from Italian pair TenGrams entitled Outerspace Blues. TenGrams are brothers Alessandro and Davide Piatto, who collectively have a deep and long understanding of dance music. Davide runs the N.O.I.A. label and was one of Italy's first touring electronic live acts, performing and recording with drum machines and synthesizers as early as 1978 as part of seminal Italo outfit Klein + M.B.O. Since then they have released under an array of aliases, have clocked up numerous club hits and this new project brings them right back to their electronic roots.
Recorded and mixed between the end of 2015 and summer 2016, vintage synths, drum machines and samplers and no rules or music trends went into the writing process here, and the result is a work that is influenced by sci-fi movies and electronic music from krautrock to techno. The title reflects a certain sadness and nostalgia and the whole thing unfolds perfectly.
Kicking off with the crisp electro bumps of the title track, the cosmic feels continue through Electric Happiness, with its bobbling bass and smeared widescreen pads. Please, Wash My Brain Again then resets the mood with a deep and ambient piece that has glassy keys and modulated synths subtly moved along by gentle bass pulses. The dreamy Cosmic Goodbye continues you on your journey though space, then the fantastic Triffids Love is another zoned out and ambient number with coarse clasp, sonar blips and sombre chords all soothing mind and soul. After the cavernous synth sweeps of the downbeat roller Dont Do Drugs, excellently gurgling synth sounds are joined by simple but effective kicks on Everyone Is Worth Saving and closing bonus cut Soular comes on strong with lo-fi percussive patterns, stiff drums and an old school house feel that rounds things out in style. As far as fully realised albums of spaced out analogue house goes, there will be few better than this in 2017.

Ambassador of dark, driving techno Nicole Moudaber, has teamed up with Skin, the multi-talented Skunk Anansie front-woman, established DJ and fashion icon, for a collaborative EP entitled 'Breed'. Two legendary artists in their own right, Moudaber and Skin have brought together cutting-edge creative and visual aesthetics to ensure Breed is an assault on the senses. The exceptional song writing and performance abilities of Skin married with Moudaber's production finesse both point to Breed being one of the most celebrated conceptual projects in techno. 'Breed' is dropping on September 18th and is available exclusively on Beatport for two weeks via Nicole's own imprint MOOD records.

On lead single 'Someone Like You', which will be released as a double single alongside 'You Like This' on August 31st, the pair immediately display the production and performance talents they're renowned for. Skin's inimitable vocals sit perfectly over Nicole's trademark dark and brooding techno beats. Demonstrating their versatility 'These Walls Are Made Of Water' is a stripped back affair, with a crescendo of strings leading to a slinky bottom heavy groove complimented by Skin's lyrical diversity. The stabbing synths of 'You Like This' create a thunderous peak time dub, and 'Don't Talk To Me' sees Nicole and Skin enlisting Zebra Katz for a cut that showcases hard nosed, fluid techno at it's best. Pushing the genre forward throughout, the bass and synth heavy roller that is 'Organic Love', allows Nicole and Skin to perfectly encapsulate the future of techno.

Nigerian born and Lebanese raised Nicole Moudaber has enjoyed a rapid rise to fame, from promoter and label manager to one of techno's most celebrated artists. From country to country, her name is now synonymous with not only dark, techy grooves, but sold-out shows and performances that demonstrate her unrivalled energy and passion for techno. Having collaborated with the top producers in the scene, Adam Beyer, Victor Calderone, Danny Tenaglia and mentor Carl Cox to name but a few, whilst at the same time enjoying success with a number 1 on the Beatport Techno Chart and 7 million listeners across 45 countries for In the MOOD Radio, it's clear Nicole Moudaber is at the forefront of the scene. Over a year in the making, 'Breed' is spearheading a new brand of innovative, pioneering techno. With visionaries Nicole and Skin at the helm the project is blazing a trail for the future of contemporary dance music.

The pair will also be showcasing the collaboration in a series of special live shows, with the first taking place at Space Ibiza on August 25th. Nicole and Skin will be playing an exclusive three hour set on the terrace, in a show that is not to be missed.

Wake Up! 009 catches Steevio in a lonesome mood. Over three tracks the Freerotation co-founder cruises through weightless negative space, sketching out contours against a backdrop of deep shadows and warm, melancholic pads. Machlud' opens like a mission statement, sorrowful and barely-there, before moving to the more nervous lounging of Forgotten Futures.' On the b-side Green Therapy' picks up the pace, bouncing with a lightly kinetic swing. Luis' remix wrings some raw pathos from the original's immaculate depths. Yet it remains of a piece with the source material, rounding out an EP of heady, ephemeral moments.

For nearly a decade, Raíz and Subversive have distributed their vision of dance music on various labels including Historia y Violencia, Electric Deluxe, Construct Reform, Droid Recordings and their own imprint, VRV. Three years into the VRV project, the label heads have decided it is time to expand the roster and showcase artists on a similar plane, producers they know can speak to the sound. The chosen interpreters on this release include DJ Hyperactive, Santiago Salazar and Voiski.
Before Voiski's well-deserved attention from work on Dement3d, L.I.E.S., and Delsin, he and Subversive had a chance meeting in the bars of Paris in search of the same musical ideals. As they formed a lasting bond, it was a natural choice for Voiski to be tapped on the shoulder for remix duties on Subversive's 'Chainbreaker.' This epic take on the original showcases the similar musical visions that can be shared across oceans, where the music's place of origin is less important than the destination it delivers.Santiago Salazar brings his Latin/Midwest sound that's been found on labels such as UR, Rush Hour, H&V, and Ican. The Underground Resistance veteran invokes Detroit-inspired pads and dubby chords that speak techno's language of the future.DJ Hyperactive is a Chicago acid legend who found himself reinvigorated in the 2000s to take up the DJ/producer torch in conjunction with the Droid crew. His early support of the original 'Telomere' made him the perfect candidate for this remix, which tracks a straight forward, bass-grounded groove, met with the producer's own subtle swing sensibilities.

We're back and this time with a super cool various artist's release, bringing musical variations together from London, Berlin, Paris and Copenhagen.

Alexi Delano is back again on Kolon:Trax (his first release was BIG) with another smashing and cool techno track.

Our man in Berlin, Oliver Deutschmann delivered a jacking acid track, already heavily tested at Berghain mainfloor.

A staple album since its release in 1998, 'Heavenly' is as relevant today as it was twenty years ago. It turned heads everywhere, got the underground scene buzzing and set dance floors ablaze like an accomplished pyromaniac. Now, the album is back for another round of Techno-flavored goodness.
Revisited, tweaked and rearranged by Kevin Saunderson under his E-Dancer moniker, the album not only comes with additional material in addition to the 1998 originals, but is also poised to fuel a number of exclusive E-Dancer live shows.

Following Mandingo's 'Universe II' on Rekids last year the label has tapped Thomas Melchior and Larry Heard for remixes.
Mandingo is best known as Detroit producer Monty Luke, the founder of Black Catalogue whennot appearing on labels like Planet E and Dogmatik. Echoing synths and crunchy percussion join trippy nuances and effects in Melchior's otherworldly reinterpretation. Meanwhile on the flip, Larry Heard distorts the original into a mesmerising number featuring a meandering hook and intricate melodies.

Material goes to the next level with a vinyl only special release. $ tracker connecting UK to Spain. Played by Jamie Jones at DC10.

Deep, groovy and hypnotising. Greg Shepherd, sound architect of the Swiss label Finefood Records, brings a work of art of perfectly balanced architectural design to the market with his Divine' EP. After his last release Échec et Mat', discerning aficionados can rejoice about the release of two original tracks as well as two remixes. One of the strong points of this EP is undoubtedly the remix from Berlin duo Soukie & Windish, that brings a particular substance to the Divine' track. The same goes for Thomas T & Anish, who have managed to successfully remix the Cosmic Child' tune and it's bewitching atmosphere. Release vinyl march 3, digital April 7th. Enjoy

Divine Greg Shepherd Original
For his first of a 4 track release on Swiss label, Finefood Records, Greg Shepherd remains true to himself and confirms his status as an architect of emotions. He defines form and space with a solid rhythmic base, cementing the layers of this original track with acid & colourful synth tones. As any architect would, Greg has taken care of the aesthetics by embellishing his creation with a subtly throbbing groove and organic vibes. A true designer of dancefloor architecture.
Greg Shepherd_Divine-Soukie&Windish-RMX
For this remix of Greg Shepherd's original, this Berlin based duo Soukie and Windish embrace the original organic vibe for their first collaboration with Finefood Records. By minimising the vocal to a bare frequency and pushing the throbbing groove they send this track to new ecstatic heights, doing the original track honour. A must have track' in any Dj's flight case.
Greg Shepherd_Cosmic child_Original
Mesmerising, deep - this original track by Swiss artist Greg Shepherd is rightly named Cosmic Child' as all the elements of the dancefloor universe come together to celebrate the birth of rhythm, cadence, melody and the essence of tempo and vibe. The track is bewitching and will cast a spell on any crowd to draw them onto the dancefloor.

Greg Shepherd_Cosmic child_ThomasT & Anish RMX
ThomasT & Anish, no strangers to Finefood Record fans as this is their second remix for the Swiss label and they have done label boss, Ryan Hawkin proud yet again! This pulsating variation of the Greg Shepherd's original, although recognisable, has been heated up with vibe spices to make a new groovy sauce with a secret ingredient that only ThomasT & Anish know of.

The return of The Hague's black magician! It has been 13 years since The Parallax Corporation / Conservatives projects together with I-f and now Intergalactic Gary is back. I-G hooked up with a new musical partner, the lovely and talented Pasiphae from Greece and together they deliver four very well-crafted tracks of contemporary machine-driven techno romance, with the ecstatic title track 'Made of glass' being the floor burner that will unite dancefloors worldwide. With the 'Made Of Glass' ep Bio Rhythm proudly presents the absolute creme de la creme of the current Dutch West Coast 'noir' scene.

Iran The Zoo is a lesson in stripped-back contrast and subtlety, with an acidic groove bleeping away over driving percussion and delicate atmospherics in the Digital Version, the tension growing with every thud of the kick drum.A dizzying breakdown raises the bar with snare rolls and dramatic pads, with the wide-open space therein soon sucked back into the void when the beat drops back in.


Following recent jaunts to Miami Music Week (where he played no less than five sets), Pacha Barcelona and a special vinyl set at fabric, Joris Voorn returns with another sterling release on his Green label.

Iran The Zoo is a lesson in stripped-back contrast and subtlety, with an acidic groove bleeping away over driving percussion and delicate atmospherics in the Digital Version, the tension growing with every thud of the kick drum. A dizzying breakdown raises the bar with snare rolls and dramatic pads, with the wide-open space therein soon sucked back into the void when the beat drops back in.

Meanwhile the special Analog Version harks back more to Joris' techno sound of old. The throbbing kick and bass and acid blips are set against rising, white-noise drenched synth swells and simple percussion to create something moody and tough yet teasingly pared back.

These two heads-down mixes make this release a stark contrast to some of his more melodic, riff-fuelled releases of late, once again demonstrating his endless versatility and shape-shifting abilities.

Vanta Series is the new series for Killekill's dancefloor music. The releases come in series, every series comes with a theme and one artwork which is being split in several parts to go with each release. The first series is called "THE END IS NEAR" and features four records. It comes with an artwork by French visual artist Elzo Durt.
The second record is coming from KAMIKAZE SPACE PROGRAMME, who delivers three types of tracks:
Type 1 - a nervous piece of bells, percussion and bass Type 2 - a minimalistic techno night drive Type 3 - a spacious futuristic soundscape
Type 3 comes with a remix by JoeFarr, who added some drama to the original and therewith created a proper hit for the darker hours.

Santiago Salazar's "Espacio Profundo" is a deep house jam; Lerosa's "Ausgang" is a Summertime house track; Moonstarr's "Complications" is raved up w/broken techno drums; Jason Fine's "Bang" explores the deep end of his sound.

Deep functional machine techno tracks.

With the inaugural release "Show Yourself", Xosar introduces her new label Gyrocyre. When people on our planet hold built up psychic tensions under the skin, the energy gestates in a womb-like growth until it's ready to burst through the flesh manifest as a creature called a Gyrocyre. Many people opt out of ever letting the beast emerge, happy to function at levels they can predict without having to face the challenge brought on by the Gyrocyre. It grows heavy and bloated with untapped potential. Those who embrace the change slice through the flesh and let it out. It fuses with the host, covering his or her skin like a mask. Depending on the nature of their heart, it gives them tools to save or destroy the world. We invite you to embrace the change and let your Gyrocyre out.

- Code' ist das Debütalbum des Berliner Produzenten Answer Code Request auf Ostgut Ton. Ob seine DJ-Sets, die zunehmenden Auftritte als Live-Act oder mit eindrucksvollen Releases auf Marcel Dettmann Records und seinem eigenen Label ACR - Patrick Gräser zählt als Resident-DJ im Berghain zu den spannenden, neuen Gesichtern des Labels. Nach der - Breathe EP', seiner Debüt-Veröffentlichung auf Ostgut Ton, ist sein erster Langspieler nicht nur eine Frage der Zeit, sondern gar der logische Schritt gewesen.

- Code' ist ein Statement, denn es spielt und kokettiert nicht nur mit der Gretchenfrage der elektronischen Musik, welche Aufgaben und Perspektiven eine Techno-LP demonstrieren sollte, sondern stellt auch unsere gängigen Hörerwartungen in Frage. Denn während zumeist das Primat der Funktionalität als Paradigma in Stein gemeißelt zu sein scheint, kehrt ACR der bloßen Ansammlung von Dancefloor-Tracks den Rücken zu. Allesamt im letzten Jahr entstanden, stellen die zwölf Tracks ein originäres, andächtiges und erwachsenes Soundkonzept vor, das sich wie eine nebelverzogene Zeitreise präsentiert - sowohl durch die Einflüsse und Geschichte von Gräser, als auch durch Teilgebiete der Tanzmusik: von Detroit-inspirierten Elegien über den UK-Sound mit seinen Breakbeats und IDM-Bezügen bis hin zur warmen Seite des Berliner Techno der 90er-Jahre. Trotz der mitunter nostalgischen Tiefe, umweht - Code' eine geheimnisvolle Aura sowie mystische Stimmung, die sich wie ein roter Faden durch die Stücke zieht.

Die New Yorker Techno-Produzentin Umfang veröffentlicht ihr Debütalbum auf Technicolour/Ninja Tune! Umfang ist waschechte New Yorkerin, Labelgründerin und Techno-Feministin. Mit Discwoman, ihrer eigenen Plattenfirma, setzt sie seit 2014 der männerdominierten Clubwelt eine weibliche Alternative entgegen, in dem sie elektronische Musik mit feministischen Ansichten vereint und das Talent von Cis-, Trans- und Genderqueer-Frauen fördert. Ihre amorphen und polyrhythmischen Techno-Produktionen erfreuen sich schon jetzt großer Beliebtheit, und mit ihrem Albumdebüt "Symbolic Use Of Light" auf Technicolour, welches Mitte Juni erscheint, wird die Männerdomäne im Nachtleben endgültig gebrochen werden.

Burgeoning DJ and producer Bontan makes his debut on the notorious Hot Creations label. Hotly anticipated, the release features two original cuts to fuel his rising profile.UK based Bontan has been using title track The First Time as his secret weapon for the last six months and is now finally unleashing it. 'I've been testing it and tweaking it play by play!' he explains. 'The vocal compliments the rolling bass melody and gives it a darker edge'. This a producer who fully understands how to create a track for a heaving dancefloor. Personal Question is the second cut and flips the mood entirely with a twisted vocal entwined in beeps and percussion, whilst stirring the sentiments of lost early hours.A firm favourite in the underground scene, he has built a solid reputation with releases on Circus Recordings, 20/20 Vision, and Cajual among others.

Across 4 tracks, the Dutch producer presents a workout in jagged body music. Power Plant Tales sets the scene with suspenseful driving rhythms and Theorem X rolls on through sweat-dripping grooves. On the B-side, Post Factum navigates through weird contortions while Self-Denial takes no prisoners as the fierce and menacing finale.

Rhythm Büro is a new record label based out of Kiev, Ukraine started by DJ and promoter Igor Glushko. The büro first began as a local party series organised by Igor, Alexander Pavlenko (aka Na Nich, widely known in the drum'n'bass world as Sunchase) and Vera Logdanidi (aka Vero). Since the party's beginning in March 2015, Rhythm Büro has hosted such greats as Zadig, Abdulla Rashim, Etapp Kyle, Eric Cloutier, Woo York, Artefakt, Acronym, Steve Bicknell and Actress all at different non-club warehouse-like locations around Kiev. A peculiar aspect of the Rhythm Büro team's objective has been to maintain secrecy about the exact location of the party until a day prior to the event, when ticket buyers are then informed about the location via text message or email. The label was started to be the logical and progressive extension to what Rhythm Büro has established itself to be locally: one of Ukraine's prominent techno initiatives.
For the first release of the label, Na Nich and Vero have contributed two joint-produced tracks that are to become their first publicly available material under their current aliases. While A1 leans itself to the soundscape that is more or less typical for Rhythm Büro parties: trippy, hypnotic and transportive techno, A2 hits the floor with refreshing zeal, bringing an electro-esque break-beat under deep and emotive synth layers. The B side contains two remixes of the title track, one of which is thoroughly tailored by the Dutch-born-Berlin-based-duo, Artefakt (mostly known for their releases on Delsin, Prologue and Field) as well as a strong and heady remix by Semantica Records' mastermind, Svreca.

Ø (Phase)'s 2015 album 'Alone in Time' was the second LP in a remarkable line of releases on Token since 2007. Token65 is a retrospective tribute to the record, offering remixes of two of its tracks.

The utilitarian discord of R-Mash is remixed by James Ruskin & Karl O' Connor (Regis) under their recently-rekindled O/V/R collaboration. Their interpretation highlights the rattling percussion of the original and its juxtaposition with the tense and uneasy anti-harmony that emerges from its pulse.

On the other side, Ø (Phase) revisits the album's title piece. 'Alone in Time' originally appeared as a restless arrangement, driven by its fluttering melody and bolstered by a damp, staggering kick. In its reimagined form, the track is forged into a solid construction for the dancefloor, with its impatient theme re-appearing as a delirious climax.

A new chapter from Marco Bailey. Welcome to the new MATERIA world.

Marco Bailey's MATERIA has already put itself in techno map for good by growing rapidly to one of the most remarkable techno projects in our modern history through its monumental events all around the world. Being extremely ambitious obviously by getting the genes by its father and creator, Marco Bailey, MATERIA couldn't hold its demons of overly dominating techno in every possible way and is taking the next step of being also a record label so it can distribute the special vibe of its events to the home of every clubber in the world. Of course no one could write the first page of its new chapter better than Marco Bailey himself where he offers the awe-inspiring ''Return of Ryuu EP'' including also 2 wondrous remixes by the ingeniously talented producers, Edit Select & Conrad Van Orton. Welcome to the new MATERIA world.

After a few months of silence following head honcho Marco Shuttle's "Sing Like a Bird (Reprise)" EP, Eerie Records is back on duty with a strong and utterly refreshing techno release by talented artist Serena Butler, an obscure producer digged out of the "submerged underworld" as it already happened previously on Shuttle's imprint that got us used to releases by relatively unknown and underrated artists. Arpeggiated synth lines layered on booming reverbed kick drums mixed with percussive elements of distorsion and lush pads make for a very playable release that is at the same time dreamy and deep, despite being also very organically "open sounding", musical, and in many ways counter-trend and different to the dominating dark droning techno style that is so popular these days.

Double LP of new material from New Jersey musician, Unearth Noise. The album compiles selected compositions made over the last three years.
As a kid Roger Berkowitz was inspired by the celestial sounds of Ravi Shankar's strings, an album that was introduced to him by his father who was an engineer for RCA. In his youth he played in various punk bands and dabbled in experimental music after being exposed to the likes of John Cage, Harry Partch, Brian Eno and Mahavishnu.

Around 25 years ago while experimenting in his basement with tapes loops, his 1/4" reel to reel and a 4-track, the name Unearth Noise was born albeit shortly lived as over the next decade his focused turned to songwriting and playing the guitar and drums in various ensembles. He wrote and recorded songs that mixed rock and folk influences in an experimental manner. These were made available online under various monikers Sugar Skulls, Ancient Aliens and Shadowface.

A few years ago Roger began exploring the forms of the instrumental pieces he had created, mixing these with elements of eastern music and rock aesthetics, which had influenced and inspired so much of his sonic journey.

"I remembered my tape loops and the unearth noise episode. Recalling this, I changed my project name to Unearth Noise and set about trying to create something which I considered totally unheard in music. I delved back into the world of pure sound attempting to create a sonic experience that could challenge or subvert reality. I am a firm believer in the idea that what we take for reality on a day to day basis is a facade. Having experimented a bit with hallucinogens, I could see clearly that there is far more here than meets the eye. Listening to people like Alan Watts, it is gratifying to know that I am not alone in this belief. So, what I'm attempting to do with music, hopefully not in a forced or pretentious way, is open the mind to an alternate or deeper reality beyond this world. To this end, my compositional techniques and forms are non­traditional and often non­linear. I use instruments of my own design and construction, and blend them with source tapes, electronics, and sometimes conventional instruments'.

Seth Troxler's agenda setting Play It Say It label is back with more summer heat, this time from Detroit based duo Ataxia.
Hailing from Detroit, this pair has recently played the famous Movement Festival in their home city for the fifth time; work with top labels like Nervous Records and Culprit LA and have already impressed with a fine EP on Leftroom this year. Their sound is designed to get the party started, and after already releasing on this label in 2016 they are now back with three more essential tracks.
Up first, the terrific 'Time Original' is a fluid and wriggling tech cut with busy synth lines scurrying about over driving drums. It's dark and freaky with poised chord stabs and the whole thing cannot fail to get floors moving.
Then comes 'Supertouch', which is a superbly slick acid number. Weird bleeps and clipped vocals add an unhinged edge to the urgent rubbery drums and the whole thing is a mind melting number that will take any set to the next level.
Last of all is the vital 'Villains', seven inventive minutes of gurgling bass, alien sound design and wonky synth lines that all warp around each other and melt your mind as they do so. Colourful and full of character thanks to a rapped vocal line, this one is a real party anthem in the making.
Across all three cuts here this talented duo really show off their wide range of studio skills in some style.

I discovered Benoit B through his own label - Banlieue records. He's part of a new breed of young French producers who make music without any hang-ups and that are inspired by the entire history of House and Techno and everything in-between. I liked the combination of club beats with a deep, super melodic approach. The 6 tracks featured here almost make up an entire album that reflects Benoit's skills and sense of production. Everything is here -from Ambient experiments to heavyweight club tracks and beyond. Here, bear witness to the new sound of France (even though he lives in Berlin!)

Techno operation "Falling Ethics'' extends it's solid catalog with a belter release by Amsterdam based produced ''Dimi Angelis''. Under A Glass Moon EP is a sturdy package of 3 dark and modular sounding Techno cuts. Label boss P.E.A.R.L. completes the package with an even deeper cut on the B1.

Mr G, Ben Sims, Steve Rachmad and Roman Poncet are on remix duty for this powerfull release of Dj Deep raw "Cuts"!

After the glowing success of Bouffmyhre's first album on Sleaze, we decided to put together a remix EP featuring new mixes of tracks selected from the album. On the A-side, Hans himself has produced a 2014 remake of Fortress, while PoleGroup's Oscar Mulero provides a classy remix of Bring It Back.

Flipping over we have Rebekah's version of Fourteen, which perfectly demonstrates her pounding, dungeon-like style. Italian producer Giorgio Gigli delivers a dark & droning remix of Dominator, to round off this excellent release.

Evod Music presents a new V/A (Trasposizioni) mini compilation with Aleja Sanchez, Oisel, Syntaxism and Yuuki Sakai.Katharsisis very elegant, with delicate ambients and fine grooves; Rifrazione is a solid track, it contains a filtered off-beat sound, accompanied by a fast-moving synth and dynamic drums; Orizzonte Interno is a strong tune, with hard groove, beautiful processed hats and an excellent sequence; Tima Toa has a continuous, never-ending sounds development, introducing new elements and variations in all its sections.

Four track EP produced by Samo DJ & Elias Landberg.

Brand new label out of London receiving transmissions from across the celestial sphere and translating them into beautiful techno for the good people of Planet Earth. Proud to report that the first transmission comes courtesy of the mighty John Shima (Firescope, Boe Recordings, Contrast Wax, Diametric). 4 beautifully melodic and timeless tracks with nods to the golden age of Detroit and UK Techno. .Recommended for fans of Stasis, B12, As One, Black Dog and early Warp... No digital..

The first Clouded Vision Recordings release of 2017 comes from label owner Matt Walsh teaming up with Stratowerx AKA Sam Russo. The EP is completed with a remix from one of Matt's long-term studio partners, Scott Fraser, who makes a long awaited debut on the label.
The three tracks were recorded over the course of 2016, with the two producers sending parts back and forth via email and the result sees a clear middle ground of minimalistic analogue electro and techno. Scott's Surface Pressure Remix turns the first track 'No Function' into a dark Drexciyan electro brooder, rounding off the EP very nicely indeed.

Snakes are Poor Denizens of Hell
Have come surreptitioning
Through the tall grass
To face the pool of clear frogs

Fast, driving and hypnotic Techno by Tomas Kunkel from Argentina.

Utter presents RGBPM, Trevor Jackson's four piece audio-visual work originally commissioned for a live
performance at the Optronica Festival in 2007, on London's IMAX, the biggest screen in the UK.
Optronica, programmed by Addictive TV/Cinefeel in collaboration with the British Film Institute, held its
econd festival over fve consecutive days at the IMAX, ICA and BFI Southbank in March 2007. A showcase
of the most exciting talent working in visual music, Optronica's 2007 event was a platform for live
performances, talks, screenings and workshops from the likes of Fennesz, Peter Greenaway and
Ryoichi Kurokawa.
Jackson's piece took over six months to develop and yet was performed only once. On March 14th the
premier of RGBPM opened the festival in spectacular fashion; Jackson performing the music live with its
accompanying HD visuals generated in real time using custom-built software created especially by
Weirdcore. A powerful multi-sensory experience, the event remains one of the defning moments of
Jackson's lengthy career.
The visuals consist of abstract shapes synchronised perfectly to Jackson's soundtrack. Choreographed to
epresent musical elements within each track, they explore the relationship between melody, colour, rhythm
nd form. The diverse soundtrack combines magical motorik experiments, demented acidic jams, melodic
ubterranean techno and dark discordant electronic soundscapes. It's a timeless selection of music that
holds its own to this day.
A decade on from RGBPM's lone airing, Utter is proud to release all four parts together for the frst time as a
special 12" package, mastered and cut by Helmut Erler at D&M and housed in a sleeve designed by
ackson himself. The record comes packaged with one of four signed prints, each representing one of the
our RGBPM pieces. These prints are limited to 100 copies per design and larger A2 editions will also become
available. A download code for all four RGBPM videos and music fles is included within the 12" sleeve.

Cosmic, artful dancefloor devastation, hard on the heels of one of the most interesting albums of 2016. Deep, dark psychedelia (Vision Animal), tribal murder (Proto World), blissful gamelan-style ambience (Spirit House), and a perfect Sunday-morning come-down, in the widescreen beauty of Hope, to close.

The second release in this series starts with the heavily supressed and hypnotic energy of Efdemin's Spiegelkerker remix on side A. Creating a dreamlike atmosphere, the track is carried by a slowly developing beat that keeps you totally engaged as it floats along. As a contrast, Psyk's remix of Miscellanous Pt.7 on B1, with its classic 909 drum appeal and engrossed pad harmonies, creates a very deep classical vibe worthy of a Black Dog reference. The final track, a remastered version of Morgenstern's Return Of The Living Deaf presents its pleasantly over-funked snare programming and build-ups that forge true techno' eclecticism and dance floor functionality into one mighty laser sword of a track.

Following on the heels of releases on labels as Etruria, Cocoon and Elevate, italian-based DAST makes his debut on OFF Recordings.

The EP kicks off with 'Raid Zone', a classic and timeless piece of spacy bigroom chord techno.

'System Failure' with its unsettling lead takes things more towards the latenight realm.

And Juan Sanchez delivers an even more stomping and peaktime interpretation of 'Raid Zone', perfect to 'destroy' festival dancefloors.

Philipp Gorbachev's sophomore solo album continues the narrative of his previously released trilogy on Cómeme, and serves as the inaugural LP on his own PG TUNE imprint. From imaginary places like The Delta, down to the dirty District, and with reverence for the heritage of the Russian avant ­ garde, 'Unlock The Box' pictures a static and demodulated dance floor. Welcome to the 5th New Century.

Finding ourselves in a confusing time, the essential urge and necessity to communicate love becomes as exhausting as hunting for diesel in Mad Max. The remains of global capitalism's overkill and marginal religious fanatics merge together as the ultimate threat to the human experience and can remind us that things can so easily spin out of control. We are also reminded of our elemental humanity; the need for love and dedication to each other, which can be so easy to forget when we lock our own boxes.

'Unlock The Box' embodies the sound of a passionate young human being forced to create new tools to secure human existence in the future. In the 5th New Century, only one rule counts: love is limitless.

With the recording process involving a wide range of digital and analog instruments, PG approached the album with his signature hybrid production. Similarly, his lyrics travel between both English and Russian, continuing the innovative linguistic style from the 'Silver Album'.

Early versions of these tracks have been field tested during a Russian PG tour last year, and take inspiration from the morning dance floor vibes and feelings. These experiences helped shape the concept of #DAYTIMERAVING: not a time of day, but an attitude. That light which shines independently from day or night, on a dancefloor and outside of it.

Love is the message

October will find Delsin release a new EP from Voiski entitled Breaths Written Outside Gloom that features four cuts of the Frenchman's trademark techno. Before now he has released solo and with various others on labels such as LIES and Syncrophone and always manages to cook up gurgling grooves and textured tracks that take you deep down the rabbit hole. Opener 'Downhearted Holidays' is all about a menacing bassline that looms large below jostling metal percussion and frazzled synth lines. It's spare and absorbing, inhuman and bleak in the most inviting way. 'Galaxy Call' is a more energetic affair with squeaking, pixelated and high pitched melodies squealing over a gloomy and gloopy bass line. Militant snares are upright and driven and the result is a track that sounds like the machines are taking over. 'Mathematical Park' is about mid tempo drums, paranoid synth drones and desolate urban soundscapes all run through with a sense of dark futurism and finally 'Answer Silently' is the slowest and swampiest of the lot. A growing sense of darkness permeates slithering synths, icy hi hats and lazy drums and there is a real air of foreboding through this and all the cuts here that make it perfect night time music.

Having established himself as a vital figure in the Brussels music scene, Biologic Records co-founder DC Salas
presents his debut album 'The Unspoken'. The 10-track LP features collaborations with fellow Belgian electropop
duo Joy Wellboy and Mirror Minds.
After a string of dancefloor oriented EPs, he draws inspiration from his live act and diverts away from the club to
explore the more melodic aspects of his sound. More than just a format, the album structure is used here as a
method of storytelling, using the spontaneity of live music making to express varying emotions without restraint.
Lead single 'Cala Falco' is a slow building track that treads carefully between warmth and melancholy, using subtle harmonic progressions to play with the mood of Joy Wellboy's vocals.

Title track takes cosmic melodies and layers them in polyrhythmic forms to hypnotic effect, whilst 'This Love'
uses skeletal percussion to carry retro-futurist melodies.

Many of the tracks produce textures that are only achievable with the use of hardware. From the sombre
harmonies and crisp drums of 'Victor' to the swelling tension of 'Enfant Bruit', DC Salas masterfully navigates his
equipment to create emotive and powerful sonic spectrums.

The entirety of the production process was done with close friends, including mixing by fellow label owner
Harold Boué (aka Abstraxion) and a video collaboration with Victor Pattyn.

For our landmark 100th release we welcome back Secluded for his second EP release on Sleaze Records.
Obstacle & Blocked are two stand-out tracks from his recent live set performances and we're excited to finally get them out as part of this special release. Including quality remixes by two very talented producers, Truncate & Subjected.

Our 90th release comes in the shape of our next edition of the Sleaze Select series.

New Jersey's Green Village imprint return with the second Village Elders compilation, comprising
four original cuts from Thefft/TOYC, BD1982, Eighth Ruin and Etch.
Since 2014 Cloy, Em-Et and Hilla's Green Village vinyl only imprint has acted as a beacon for forward
thinking house, techno and bass music genre's alike, recruiting DJ Spider, Franklin De Costa, Dakini9,
Nicuri, plus more. Now stepping up with Village Elders 002, Green Village utilise a group of versatile UK
producers including Embassy's Thefft alongside Crazylegs' TOYC, Keysound's break scientist Etch,
mysterious producer Eighth Ruin, and Tokyo based BD1982 who co-runs Diskotopia.
Thefft and TOYC's 'Atlantic' opens the package with syncopated rhythms laced with jittery organic hits,
before spiralling sonics and twisted melodies get hooked into a rattling 808 sub line. BD1982 then steps up
with 'In '95', utilising sparse rhythms alongside tightly programmed loops and synthetic ambience to create
a 16-bit atmosphere before employing rolling subs to propel the cut forward.
Eighth Ruin then ups the ante with razor sharp percussion in 'Whip', which pulsates along its waveform
thanks to a warm undulating bass, aided by IDM-tinged synth breakdowns and pitched down vocals. Etch
then delivers his new-wave break science in 'Predator', layering loops alongside a hypnotic reese in tandem
with menacing vocals and glistening atmospherics.
Village Elders 002 drops on Green Village on 25th July 2017.

Bas Mooy steps up for his debut EP, after his superb rework of Hans Bouffmyhre's Easy Meat track last year. Bleeds & Shanks are both upfront, no nonsense techno tracks with a raw distorted vibe.
For remixes we have two Glasgow based artists! Firstly, Hans returns the favour with a bass heavy and hypnotic remix of Bleeds. Edit Select makes his first appearance on Sleaze after his flawless album on Prologue Music. He does what he knows best with a deep, druggy remix of Bleeds.

Æ is the third part of Bjarki triptych of LPs to be released this year. Æ is a particularly Icelandic form, pronounced I' in English, Bjarki thinks it just looks good. Here it is a selection of music that is at its core quite simple, with restrained instrumentation, made on hardware and features a selection of older works and the most recent produced just weeks ago.

Bjarki is from Iceland. Born and raised. Despite the fact that Bjarki is known for making extremely powerful dance floor tracks he doesn't seem to belong to any particular genre. Something this triptych of LPs demonstrates very well. His music is at times cinematic and there's a story behind each track. Bjarki's music always has something to do with him personally, but he'd rather the listener lose themselves in the music than pay much attention to the man behind them. Either on a record or to one of his ever evolving live sets.

C.Vogt's and Patrick Jeremics minds work in loopy circles. Endless grooves that take you off in to the wild blue.
Vilá is by far the strongest of the bunch. Capturing that moment where the sun peaks over the horizon in some far off land. Reminiscent of the days when trance wasn't a dirty word.
Vice takes you up in to a place where people's faces beam with positive emotion. Trippy melodies roll the track ever forward while snapshot samples of the cops radio communications drift in and out of the tight groove.
Ekstasis is a head nodding, eyes closed journey towards your inner self. Listen to the guru and do what he says.
Get Weird People!

Airglow Fires' is the first new Lone material to emerge since his masterful 'Galaxy Garden' album, his most complete body of work to date.
Departing from the themes of the rave/hardcore revival and cinematic interstellar travel, 'Airglow Fires' sees him exploring a more considered and intimate sound alongside a rediscovered love of classic hip-hop, as he explains "I love hip hop and house music when it's at it's rawest - to me 'Airglow Fires' has that kind of 90's basement vibe to it, where the lines between the two genres are kind blurred".
As a comeback single, 'Airglow Fires' has certainly been worth the wait - arriving just in time to surely nestle its way into all discerning DJ's record boxes this summer - from the opening celestial melodies to the insistent processions of jazz inflected chords dance around the crunchy proto house drums that shuddering sub bass it's obvious that this track has golden sunshine in its DNA.
On the flip 'Begin To Begin' explores similar territory to 'Airglow Fires' but wears its charms in a more subdued, but no less infectious manner - a repeating hypnotic chord stab, draped with burbling synth melodies and yet more tough drums combine for a sumptuous and mesmeric listen - as the song says "am I dreaming am I awake" - with music like this to soundtrack your dreams, who would want to wake up

Meda Fury is proud to welcome back Moscow's finest OL aka Oleg Buyanov for another EP of East-European dance floor paranoia. OL has been busy since his last EP for MF - helping to start the hotly tipped vinyl only Moscow based label GostZvuk (), as well as recent sought after transmissions on Wilson Records. More moody, nostalgic and atmospheric than his most recent releases, 'Jungle TV's smudged textures occupy a similar space to the rhythmic shamanism of Hieroglyphic Being as well as the organic and hypnotic vibes of the legendary Drexciyan Other People Place project.
Opener and title track 'Jungle TV' sets the pace with thick bass & beats and winsome waterlogged cassette pads, radioactive shuffler 'Hand Plant' comes on like a lost Basic Channel cut with it's spiralling delays and jacked loops, dubbed out minimal jam 'Yellow Eyes' with its pounding toms and spatial groove feels like a vintage Mood II Swing dub, closing out with 'Bandit' displays a narcoleptic lo-fi pulse and enviable bass boom.
'Jungle TV' EP for Meda Fury could well be his finest work to date - realising all of his signature elements into one mesmerising whole.

Here we have the very special return of the synonymous Tom Blip to the Blip Discs label since 2015's endlessly re-pressed 'Wrong Guanco'. Sentimental Strings kicks off with notes of early 2000s Daft Punk hands-up-in-the-air euphoria before politely cannonading into hints of Theo Parrish kick-drum chaos midway through, whilst a commingling of orchestral disco sample heaven, twinkly scintillation and sonic messages from the stars constitutes the B side, There Were No Signs. Early support coming in strong from Midland, Gerd, Francis Inferno Orchestra and more...

Forgotten Idols lie smashed and scattered across the floor. Dissonant undercurrents coerce a riptide of shattered beats as Duran Duran Duran speeds into sight and docks directly into your neurological pathways.
Tracks swarm into your mind effortlessly dismantling the techno mainframe. Refracted acid takes 'Sexus' to a place where famished ghosts leer at each other across a mist-infused steam room. Repeated listenings reveal new fissures, fresh layers emerge as we scrape away at the glacial enormity of this techno scree-face. Redemption is in sight as we take a final pasting on 'Marathon Man', a track so banging as to provoke a wry smile on the face of any seasoned raver. At its climax it screeches under the weight of its intensity, flinging its subjects into a feral transcendence.

Working his craft since the late 90s as both a DJ and producer, Ritzi Lee has built a solid reputation and stayed true to the raw techno music he first fell in love with. He has delivered trademark productions on his own Underground Liberation imprint, Diego Hostettler and Dave Ellesmere's Belief System and Ben Sims' Theory Recordings, amongst others.

'There's a fine line between all the music I ever released', Ritzi Lee explains. 'A kind of tension building up, using different layers before reaching a climax - just as with my DJ sets, it's something of a trademark sound. I don't want to follow a formula or do what everyone else is doing, I try to follow my own path without getting distracted by hypes or trends in the music.'

Maintaining this ethos, his new EP opens with the stomping groove of 'Fire', rippling over your speakers with power and progression. Stimulus man, Paul Mac delivers his reworking next, bringing 'Fire' down a deeper path, but keeping up the momentum. On 'Super Modular' Ritzi Lee takes a more measured approach with sonic high jinx, but no less of a driving beat. The vinyl version closes on the chugging 'Air', a stripped-back beast of a workout...

Inner Surface Music are very proud to present our 10th release. We mark the occasion with the double pack compilation ´Replicants´. Our secret agents for this mission are Sleeparchive, O/H, Perc, Honzo, Gaja, Takaaki Itoh, Ontal and Sturqen.

Sleeparchive starts the journey with ´Plates´ - a stone cold techno vision with an industrial aesthetic of concrete filled textures and tension setting a dark paranoid atmosphere.

O/H slow the tempo with ´All Flesh´ but not the intensity. The track has rhythmic noise and acid elements twisting to the mutated punk vocals and kick drums.

Perc heads straight into a black hole with ´Hiding From Carl` - thunderous kicks and percussion set the controls for the centre of the dark star as we drive towards the white light and the noise rises.

Honzo´s alien like ´Dissociated Identities´ grooves with slow mechanical distorted drums and laser like sequences as metallic guitars and strings soar into the stratosphere.

Gaja transports us into a parallel universe with ´Noys Lambert´ - techno for time travellers. Rugged drum machines and battle weapons propel us into the trajectory of the geometric sequence patterns and sonic waveforms.

Takaaki Itoh transports us back to the ´Present´ - bass oscillations metamorphose around kick drums and the syncopated percussion slithers its way into the darkest depths of the underworld.

Ontal go out on full attack with ´Spasm´ - industrial oldschool drums crash and bang to the rave fuelled sirens demolishing and pulling every structure in its path apart.

Sturqen finish the journey with ´Cota´ - industrial landscapes fuelled with cyber punks and narcotic rages set the scene with distorted guitar riffs and broken machine drums entering the final void...

The Black Mask - SNTS debuts on Horo in the wake of his experimental leaning 'Losing Sight' LP. EP opener 'Origin Of Light' dazzles with it's shimmering waves of corrosive ambience, while 'Ancestral Reflection' and 'Figures In The Mist' are more familiar, vital SNTS dance-floor rituals, built with the inherent SNTS intoxication. 'Resurgence' notches up the intensity to close the EP with a grinding heave

The 2nd release from I Walked by Night comes firing out of the southside of Glasgow. A young man by the name of The Burrell Connection has been flying under the radar for a few years now... A Perth native / Glasgow immigrant has been making music since he was 15, his first release came via West End Communications (003) in 2015. Since then he has released most recently with Craigie Knowes on the amazing 2nd annual War Child fundraiser along with Legowelt, Shanti Celeste, Neville Watson and many more. 'Southside' was made with a Juno 6, Yamaha Dx21, Roland TR8, Korg MiniLogue and twisting samples and recording most tracks in one take with little post editing. This EP oozes raw energy and shows off a delicate deft touch. After debuting at the Warehouse Project in 2016, The Burrell Connection will be producing his first live show in 2017.

Third instalment of UVB's label Body Theory. Techno for those who do not believe.

Felix Fleer, Rythen, Jonas Landwehr, Parasian labelhead AWB and New York based Groove Selecta feature on Raw Imprint's second vinyl release. The five-track various-artists EP will drop September 9th. Early support from Rodhad, Inigo Kennedy and more.

Felix Fleer, Jonas Landwehr, Rythen, Environ., and Alderaan feature on Raw Imprint's third vinyl release. The five-track various artist EP will drop May 5

Felix Fleer starts of the A-side by exploring his roots in classical music through implementing a grand piano into a rhythmically challenging yet hypnotic techno weapon in an seemingly effortless manner. Jonas Landwehr continues diving deeper into his fascination for airy pad sounds and unique percussion styles that are not less silky than they are warm and powerful. Rythen closes the A-side with an electrifying and stomping floorkiller. Under their Environ. moniker Rythen & Felix Fleer open up the B-side by revisiting the previously encountered piano theme in a more club oriented way. The last words on this release are spoken by Alderaan, one of the most promising newcomers of the currently flourishing techno scene from Buenos Aires. With 'Clarity' he delivers a tooly, yet psychedelic techno trip.

Since it was very hard to grow musically or in any other artistic way in regard of our surroundings, we always had a need to find inspiration somewhere else. Things that were a given for some were far fetched and hard to come by. A distant dream. That's why we decided to go forward. A final push to reach the place we wanted to be. A place we can call home.

Aelfric Michael Avery has been a self-reliant artist for a long time. The Canadian producer has been exploring underground acid and rough, homemade techno since releasing his first material as Avery Monarch back in 1994. However it wasn't until more than ten years later that his music would surface again on his own Napalm Enema label. Varied projects such as Electrokinesia and Crown Jewel have yielded scores of digital EPs and albums, while Napalm Enema has also carried work by the likes of FaltyDL, Paul Blackford and Mrs Jynx. Avery has released just as much music under his Acid Elf guise, most notably appearing alongside +10 Acid Crew (Jodey Kendrick) for the sought-after Bruvs Acid EP, and now the alias makes a welcome return to vinyl with four essential tracks from the archives. There's a subdued, hypnotic and delirious quality to the productions on this EP for Arma, ranging from the uneasy delay pulses of 'Fetus' to the metallic clamour of 'Urban Wasteland', but most importantly they're all injected with a distinctive personality that stands apart from the 303-tweaking masses. This is undoubtedly acid music, but it crackles with an energy far removed from the same cookie-cutter Chicago knock-off formula that so many turn out these days. Talking about the creation of these tracks, Avery explained that they were recorded between 2009 and 2010 in Parksville, a town by the ocean on Vancouver Island. The equipment list used for the sessions includes many perennial favourites such as the 606, 707, 808, 909, Jupiter 6, 101, 303, MS-20 and a Dopefer modular, all run through an erratic RE-201 Space Echo for extra analogue crust.

New Amsterdam based label Native Response debuts with a delicate yet forceful 3-track EP by Nathan Surreal and KAAP on remix duty. Stockholm packs a peak-time punch, while Emo Effect is one for the more hypnotising moments on the dance floor. The analog bomb remix by KAAP smashes 808 kicks and snares all over the place. Native Response 001 is limited available on 12" vinyl.

After releases on Fifth Wall and Grizzly, Physical Therapy returns for a follow up to the first release on his own Allergy Season label, with the EP "Million Years Crushed." Three cuts of maximal electronic dance music, along with a deep retrofit from Berghain resident Norman Nodge.


The title track delivers a confident, club-ready message from the Planet Love. Nodge (Ostgut Ton, Marcel Dettmann Records) flips the track into a crackling 8:05 AM dub. On the b-side, "Val E of the Dolls" coats pounding 16x16 techno with distant house pianos and "American Cream" makes a muscular layer cake of percussive synths.


The digital version of the EP includes "Salad Dressing," a cut of shuffling, ecstatic house.


Available for public consumption both in both digital and vinyl on April 7. Be sure to take with lots of water and do not operate heavy machinery within 8 hours of listening.

Debut EP by Reckonwrong on the Pinkman label!

* Following up his debut 12" for the label in 2015, the Parisian brings his varied tastes to this diverse four tracker.

* From the hazy bumping rhythms of 'Gliding' to the pulsating strobed snare assault of 'Away From Keyboard', these razor edge productions demonstrate exactly why he's been tipped by so many as one to watch.

Originally released earlier this year in the spring of 2017. The prolific JASON LETKIEWICZ returns under his alias for a suite of post- apocalyptic jack tracks. Across the labels like L.I.E.S, FUTURE TIMES & ECHOVOLT, he has spent the last decade exploring dimensional rifts between Techno, House, Ambient & more. Now landing on Chicago label CLEAR

Label owner, Christian Gerlach recruited the young and very talented Alfredo Mazzilli, which already showed his skills with his latest releases on Edit Select Records or Planet Rhythm. In the EP, which is dedicated to the Babylonian gods, Alfredo takes us into worlds of sound that reminds us of a run through the jungle and arrivals at mighty temples. Shamash opens the EP and prepares the mood for an ritual which is gonna to be celebrated. Wrong Assessment focuses the piece in its core, but in a deeper way and holds on to a heavy baseline. Ishtar reminiscent of an ceremony and the ep reaches its climax which is also continued in the Iori remix. The high­energy piece Marduck could be considered as an joyfully extract from this distant world.
With This Packet lanthan Audio combines the heavy architecture of old temples, but with an ease that welcomes the coming months with joyful anticipation.

After a first Album on cassette in 2016, lekande releases his first threetracker on Vinyl.

A1 starts with a light melody and a catchy groove. The melody runs through the whole track and carries the feeling of the ride.

A2 is a hypnotic spacewalk with the bassline being in the background - splendid for the morning hours after the big rave.

The B-Side of the EP is a 15 minutes' wave of atmospheric Techno. No more words needed.
