Nach seinem Remix von Pan-Pots Hit "Exzentrisch" vor zwei Jahren kehrt der israelische Produzent Shlomi Aber auf dem Berliner Label Second State zurück und liefert eine EP mit zwei aggressiven, trippigen und einer atmosphärischen, eher breakbeatigen Nummer ab, unterstützt von einem groovigen Remix der sich revanchierenden Pan-Pot Jungs. Der seit fast 20 Jahren tourende Produzent haut einen Release raus, der auf allen Fronten überzeugt, und Second State könnte sich kein überzeugenderes Debüt von ihm vorstellen.

The second release by Hamburg based label ohne kommerziellen Wert is a diverse DJ weapon with four tracks by four different artists, aimed strictly at the dancefloor. The trippy and hypnotic A-Side kicks off with Dune by Vuuduu, a sci-fi roller with a touch of trance, followed by RO/AD's spaced-out steamroller Sektor. STUTE opens up the B-Side with the juggernaut tool-track Abdates, before Strathy's otherworldly Antidub sends you through the wormhole. 200 copies limited.

TRUST returns with four cutting-edge transmissions by Versalife (aka Delsin's Conforce). Classic and experimental electro meet high-impact techno ('Recirculator') for a hefty dose of panglossian optimism. Don't miss.

After 15 years of releasing underground electronic music Ion Ludwig remains to push the boundaries of his signature sound. Parameters set in a different decade to prevail the formula’s and algorithmic that adapted minimalism throughout pre corona-times.

Now stepping into digital realms of music and video Ludwig was invited by Swiss art-city-Citizens to write
and produce a latest triple 12” album, his third of this volume, and first not on his own label-outlets, now for Adam's Bite, Basel.

‘Truth only exists in Paradise’ tells the truth of non-truth. Nothing today can be seen independent and no information seems to be holy. The truth is a hopeless lost soul, nowhere welcome or at home but in paradise. Most, our own “paradise” if it may still exist. And that it may please you, there.

While playing Lyckle de Jong’s album to friends, it seemed it would also be a good opportunity to get some of them on the same record together and create a remix EP. So, three friends were tasked with reworking tracks from Lyckle’s 'bij Annie op bezoek'. The original album was inspired by a trip to see a retired and quarantined pensioner friend called Annie, in Leiden. Using some of the field recordings from that visit, Lyckle created a soundworld of Annie’s life and apartment, which exists in a time all of its own, floating somewhere between old photos and the present day.

The remixes develop this otherworldly atmosphere. BREW helmsman Robert Bergman runs 'TV Oranje' through his machines to create a proper dubbed-out EBM chugger, twisting the walls of the club in on itself to psychedelic effect. Meanwhile, with 'voor een flat in de Merenwijk', Peter Graf York takes the soundtrack elements and delivers two versions: one an industrialised metal machine stepper, the other a pixelated stomper that could have dancers bashing their heads on the ceiling, Mario-style, if they were powered-up enough. Flippen Disks’ Monty goes straight for the kick drum jugular, weaving brain-melting pads and bass oscillations into thick dancefloor carpet on the track 'Trappenhuis'.

The third vinyl is from the founder of our label AKA Mirnha (ARG) and the excellent artist Omar Amo AKA Magoo (ARG). This album was born on Christmas day and thus its name: "Weihnachten". Fine, cosmic and groovy techno sounds.

Obsidian's first vinyl release alongside Parallel Connection's first release.

This french trio working in the shadow between London and Paris is throwing at us their unique approach of music.
Balancing through many influences, it’s a rich old/new school electronics sounds fusion able to break dancefloors or just follow you into your better days...

The first vinyl release on Alter Ego Recordings presents a re-release of two Alter Ego classics remixed by Luke Slater in 1993 and 1994 ! A. Alter Ego - Soulfree' Luke Slater's Ortoe Circuit Mix B. Alter Ego - Lycra' Luke Slater's Dinosaur Mix Roman Flügel and Jörn Elling Wuttke are very happy to present their first vinyl single on their own platform Alter Ego Recordings. In charge again of their entire back catalogue, under monikers like Acid Jesus, Sensorama and Alter Ego, they're starting to re-release all the classic albums sometimes accompanied by newly curated vinyl Ep's. The singles will feature unreleased material, forgotten classics and brand new remix-projects of favourite producers and friends in perfectly re-mastered 12- sound. The first vinyl release on Alter Ego Recordings presents a re-release of two Alter Ego classics remixed by Luke Slater in 1993 and 1994. For many people he is the epitome of hard and driving British electronica. His music, especially under his Planetary Assault System moniker, influenced just about everyone in techno over the last twenty years. Things kick off on the a-side on this record with a Basic Channel style sounddesign. The dubbed chords, moved by a full-bodied bassline and frequent cowbells featured in his Ortoe Circuit Remix' of Soulfree' are showing that Luke's more soulfull side is as good as his tough mode. The slamming Dinosaur Mix' was already in boxes of jocks like Sven Väth and Andrew Weatherall and shows Slater with the foot on the pedal. Cascades of flanged sounds drifting in and out of focus, while no-nonsense drums and percussion driving dance floors in frenzied submission.

Breaking out on Figure with an exciting debut double EP in 2020, the Arthur Robert now returns with yet another equally impressive pair of records.Here the artist once more shows his unique mix of psychedelic elements with a deep hypnotic edge and a straight-up dancefloor approach. This two-part release comes as a varied collection of strangely beautiful melodies and lively modular sounds that infuse each track with far more life than is visible on the surface. Transition Part 1 starts out strong with stomping kicks and crushing percussion, it’s the glitchy effects that etch in a memorable listening experience. Similar goes for the booming, more spacious A2 and the colorful Drum and Bass-reminiscent B1. Finally, Robert closes part one with a stripped-back stepper, honing in on that sweet spot between radical melodic repetition and finely textured effects.

This re-mastered beauty will hit the stores late October incl. bonus track "George Shoulders is Alive".

The time is now, the time is ARA: A brand new label from Daniel Kyo & Veryan, where presence is at the centre of everything.

Literally translating to ‘now’ in his native Valencian, ARA will map Daniel’s exploration between his own local roots and his personal connections and spiritual affinity with Japan. The journey starts right here with his own EP under his Core alias that first emerged on Hivern Discs last year.   

’15 Years’ acts as the consummate mission statement; a hypnotic rolling slice of mystic tech noir armed with a bulbous bottom end and trippy, existential voice over. Its groove and prominence is compounded by the killer remixes; Crayon don Mark Ambrose flips it into kinetic funky tech version with strong moments of paranoia and sonic freakery while rising Spanish dreamweaver Marc Piñol cracks the cosmic whip and extends the track into a much foggier, trippier affair.

The mission statement ends with full intent as Daniel returns to the Core of the matter for the finale ‘Kaizen’. A lavish, evocative voyage, powered by another one of Kyo’s signature immersive juggernaut grooves, once again the connection and ambition is clear: translating to ‘improvement’, ‘Kaizen’ surges with a sense of hope, uplift and exciting plans for the future. Make no mistakes; ARA will be back with more excursions very very soon…

"Time Flies" is the title of this Various Artists including Kwartz, Sev Dah, Diego Amura and the label owner himself Kaiser. Four cuts which are a throwback to the golden ages of techno and at the same time will make you give a look at the future

We kick start the return of Wigflex records with a brand new release from first time flexer and Nottingham's biggest blades fan... Son of Philip. Inspired by the story of how Cans drummer Jaki Liebezeit was once told to "play monotonous" during the LSD-induced ramblings of a fan; and the experimentation into repetition which followed.
We first heard Rubber Stamp during a wonky walk around Dam in the early hours of the morning, it made perfect sense then and still makes perfect sense now. King of hazy, crystallised electronics Actress steps things up a notch and takes the ep away from a Hoffman-esque bicycle ride and onto the dance floor.

Green Vinyl

The 11th release in the Truncate series. 3 tracks, 2 of which were licensed in Ben Sims Fabric mixed CD in 2013. 3 solid DJ tools for the clubs.

Oscillation is the repetitive variation, typically in time, of some measure about a central value or between two or more different states. Aleksi Perala uses the 128 resonant colundi frequencies to create an oscillation perfected to 33.3 rpm for an infinite effect. Part 2 of a 2 part series divided over Clone Basement and Dub.

Danse Club followers will know Lauhaus has been with the label since their early days when he joined the imprint with his remix of 'Kalisha - I Got Something Here'. He now comes through with 'Smoke Screen', a 3 track vinyl only EP and his 5th EP for Danse Club. It's all house and techno

Precise Acid Techno EP, out of the acidcore usual fields, and defenitly independant. Building up its history ! Magestuous stuff.

Highly effective, acidic, raw stomping Techno package

Limited edition of 100 numbered and hand stamped copies with a 30x30 cm digital print insert of the original cover artwork in a clear jacket.

A couple of months after the release of Contemporary Spaces, four of Abstract Division's tracks get remixed. And who better suited for the job than label residents Stefan Vincent and Deepbass & Ness, and Dynamic Reflection debutants Tensal and Lewis Fautzi.

Tensal has reshaped 'The Hunt' into a powerful club-banger. The original synth is still present, although heavily processed by a number of echoes and reverbs. That, backed up by numerous noises going on in the background, makes it a Hunting piece of music indeed. Deepbass and Ness have taken 'Passenger' for their account and transformed it into something of their own, inimitable sound. Deep and subby kicks, complemented with complex soundscapes.

Lewis Fautzi's version of Encounter is clearly deeper than the original. The impellent synth and matching percussion, make it a fascinating trip to listen to. Stefan Vincent has formed Glide - the original EP's soundscape intro - into a beautiful piece of breakbeat-techno. And with that, he has provided the perfect outro for this remix-EP.

For all the WAV and MP3 heads, there's a digital bonus version of 'The Hunt' included as well. This one is provided by Dutch youngster Haeken, who turned it into a hypnotic loop with an authentic old school feel to it.

August 14, 2005. Two Belgian brothers organize that day the first edition of what will result in a gigantic, worldwide success: Tomorrowland. 9.500 visitors enjoy music by a.o. Sven Väth, Sasha, Armin van Buuren and Justice at De Schorre festival site in Boom, Belgium. The following year, 2006, Tomorrowland expands to 8 stages. In 2009 Tomorrowland can claim their fist sold-out edition with a 5th anniversary highlight: special act Moby.

It is the first of a TRILOGY, with boxsets of 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 to come!

The ep begins with “ Resurrect my feeling “, a dub vocal house jam that is slowly bulding to reach an intense peak with a mix of new and old synths and a funky groove that will make you sweat and dance all night long . In the meantime, listening is also an option because Zepherin knows his music and the sounds and the arrangements are just amazing to dive into.
“Escape” and “Escape dub 88” are the same track with different arrangements and sounds , one being obviously more dubby and moodier, the other more musical and sunnier.

3 tunes of Pure industrial dark acid Techno... Bangerz kick, with strange grooves and progressive obsessing sounds entering in. Music is there and, as you close your eyes, you go with her, exploring strange landscapes, on the burning sun... Dark Hynotizing sounds.

Conforce signs "Wavetable" to Sungate - an energetic and diverse four-track EP produced using mostly wavetable synthesizers. These chord-driven tracks showcase a sophisticated danceable approach with proper groove. Rotterdam techno in its purest form.

For the first vinyl compilation this year, dotwav invites three techno heavyweights that need no further introduction: Kangding Ray, Denise Rabe and Mario Berger deliver their own version of a trippy peak time track. All the productions catapult us into the future and right onto the floor.

After some times relaxing in Tapinolis, Antam records is back with a stunning 4 tracker EP.

The brazilero Villaça, still under the radar, is delivering versatile dancefloor dedicated original tracks where house, techno and breaks are perfectly shuffling together. In the remix duty, we have the rising star Mehdi M, who delivers a mystical journey through his breaky remix of the archivarius original track.

Massive Hard Techno, Acid and dancefloor.
An absolute pearl !

Last track is a bombastic dancefloor weapon !

Hot on the heels of the compilation album, Super Rhythm Trax drop this absolute beauty of a release from Dead Silence Syndicate member and Electro supremo, Dexorcist aka Simon Brown.

Simon flexes his muscles, giving us 4 deadly tracks set to blow up the dancefloor.

A true font of music knowledge and able to play fluid sets of many genres from Funk through to Techno, on this EP he displays clear influences from Detroit, Chicago, London and of course..Miami !

Eagle eyes will remember that Super Rhythm Trax 005, the Miami Bass special, was produced by SImon alongside long time collaborator, Bass Junkie and its a pleasure to finally welcome him back to the label.

Turbulent synths ooze and oscillate, roaming like searchlight beacons across darkened shores. The experimental and idiosyncratic sound of duo Inkasso explores the feeling of being cast adrift in disorientating, mechanical worlds. In the studio, the pair jam with drills, string instruments, field recordings and everyday objects to create a hypnotic cacophony. Hear the penny drop on ‘Asso,’ chains rattle on ‘Träume aus Draht;’ the junglist murk of ‘Tag der Imker,’ and the sharp, crystalline beat of ‘Punkervirtel.’ Inkasso invites you to get lost in the uncanny spaces between dub, drone and techno; static introspection and the primal desire to dance.

ANMON was born from the collaboration of French producers DJ Saint Pierre and Ténèbre. Through rearranged recorded live jams, their music is a series of fast-paced experiments at the fringe of the techno spectrum. Built for the stage and trance-induced listening experiences, Anmon summons a renewed tribal spirit - an unexpected resurgence of the sonic aesthetics of freeparties via their very own interpretation.

Ben Pest returns under his alias OverworX and the third instalment of banging acidic rave. With a firm reputation for jacking live sets and productions laced with hard funk, this 12” offers up 4 styles: Rumbling 808/303 electro, Chi-town influenced techno, 90s-esq breaks n’ acid and cold grimey bass.

Across the A-side, Perc Trax regulars AnD and Tymon serve up bleep driven techno and grinding industrial respectively, both with all the power and momentum you'd expect from Perc Trax.

Flip it over and the B-side features two Perc Trax debuts. First up UK legend Dave The Drummer delivers one of the most sought after tracks from Perc's sets over the label few years in the shape of '133.33' and Mickey Nox squeezes every last drip of tension out of his synths on 'Filter Metal'.

New label from Holland run by Developer of Modularz. The new label is focusing on powerful techno tracks in raw form.

Dubfire’s relationship with Gregor Tresher started 12 years ago, when the producer remixed Gregor’s signature track ‘A Thousand Nights’. Ever since it was clear that the German talent would have his own release on SCI+TEC. For the minimal melodic two-tracker ‘Ghostmachine’, Gregor teamed up with his longtime collaborator and Croatian legend Petar Dundov. This collaboration is one that never disappoints.

Two Sided Agency's third release delivers four rolling techno and acid work outs for sweaty basements and concrete dance floors. The full sleeve artwork expertly executed by New York artist Alex Heir completes the release after a one year hiatus. Two Sided Agency consistently maintains the quality of it's nuanced output. Direct and full of energy, acid lines and pure groove instantly captured the listeners attention. We are excited to present you our most recent four track EP and hope you enjoy the fruits of our hard labour. Thank you for listening!

Rising Australian DJ and producer Andy Garvey debuts on X-Kalay showcasing her take on deep and breaksy electro.

Title track and A1 “More Than Meets the Eye” is a thoughtful, finely crafted cut. Built around a weighty acid riff, stacked pads and a delicate twinkling melody, it’s as equally suited to the introspection of headphone listening as it is the club. Next up, “This Silence is False” darkens the mood and ups the tempo - the stepping rhythm and frantic breaks making it perfect material for those later floors.

On the B “Double Planetoid” has echoes of early Massive Attack; a superbly expansive track of swelling pads and undulating bass, it drifts in and out of focus underpinned by a chunky breakbeat and shimmering hi hats. Finally, closing things out is fellow Australian Tred’s rework of “This Silence is False”. He remixes Andy’s original into a 160 BPM techno monster, utilising the acid line perfectly and pumping it with pure 4x4 energy. Heat!

Label from London's E1S acid techno dj Acid Steve. Feat. The Geezer, Acid Steve & Squat Dom!

Klinika003 - The Silver Lining EP - is coming soon, and will be delivered by Frankfurt-based techno head Cloak.
Cloak is very well known for his party series Void and Rebis and managing a small cafe bar in Frankfurt's redlight district.
After his first release in 2015 on Anselm's Unequal Records, where his style was a lot more broken beat-oriented, he's now coming over with definitely faster, metallic driven and more four-on-the-floor rooted beats and dithers in between industrial and classic techno. All tracks are an ode to analog production gear and non-compromising dance floor-oriented!.

Dutch duo Deep Dimension serve up four massive techno cuts for 'Rave Slave' on Rekids.

Drawing on more than two decades of solo experiences, GEN X co-founders Jeffrey Hek and Jimmy van de Geijn came together as Deep Dimension in 2015. Debuting on Rekids last year with 'So 1992', their signature sound is built on deep basslines and forceful kicks with regular support from Radio Slave, Sam Paganini, Luca Agnelli, Joseph Capriati and Chris Liebing. They now return to the respected imprint with a robust package aimed squarely at the dancefloor.

'Rave Slave' fully asserts itself from the off with industrial synth lines and machine gun-like hits. Dark, filtered vocals add to the ghoulish effect while stomping kicks are sure to decimate dancefloors. The excellently heavy 'Audio Space' has more seriously weight percussion and foundation shaking hits, this time overlaid with clipped female vocal stabs and haunting effects that trail off into the distance. This is warehouse techno at its finest.

The powerful 'Strong Than Steel' then drills down with droning synth lines and blistering kicks. It barrels along with plenty of tension and suspense cleverly built into the breakdowns and truly hammers along once it drops again. The brilliantly big finale is 'Planet E', an edgy techno trip with blistering, old school and hard techno drums with frazzled stabs bringing strobe-lit rave vibes.

The mist, rewakened from the wave,
Enfolds me as before,
But from thy solitary grave
Thou comest now no more.

After the worldwide techno hit that was Darc Marc's "Dirty Rocking Bass" comes the next Cluster X instalment from French legend GANEZ THE TERRIBLE. "The Rave..." is another prime time techno monster from the Acid Techno/Techno underground that is going to cause massive dancefloor mayhem with its cheeky 'The rave, the sound, the people, the party" sample and hard funky beats and 303 stabs. With pounding remixes from D.A.V.E. THE DRUMMER, and new kid-on-the-block SEON, and a kicking bonus track "Elevator" from Ganez himself this gives a nod to all areas of harder techno.

How do you do when you are a tribe kicker as well as a Drum & Bass producer ?

Improvising as a way to end a track, a moment in time lasting forever, a singularity as a constant: this is the illusion created by I:Cube for these Cubo Live Sessions: to jam and to edit, a free conversation with his machines.
This new found freedom is a natural evolution following years of hard work in the Versatile basement. We used to hear Cube sweating for days on a single sound or loop, we know through those Live Sessions that Cube has realised that perfection is not of this world. Or rather that perfection precisely is that ephemeral instant, that will to capture a dream and bring back a fragment from his multidimensional travels.
From this precarious equilibrium, this big bang, proceeds an entire universe, an almost living organism. I:Cube always touched by grace, smiling demiurge building track by track an ever growing intimacy with his listeners.

It’s a great joy to host our long time friend and collaborator, Theo Delaunay aka Panoptique aka Constance Chlore, to release his first solo album on Macadam Mambo. Head of the Simple Music Experience label (dedicated to release punk experiment on tape), member of Violent Quand On Aime, Succhiamo, Simplists, Ono Omen and United Assholes, he had previously been part of the “Danzas Electricas” volumes 1 and 3, released a little single in 2019 and curated the “Simple Music Experience Vol.2” compilation in the house. Panoptique stick to what he knows to do the best, to present his stories, singing spoken words, gogolitos deliriums, whispers and rough voices on Minimal Synth Wave ballads or Drexciyan’s Electro bangers, it’s brut, mental, sometimes brutal and so so groovy in the meanwhile. Special mention to his guest Fiesta En El Vacio for her ‘caliente’ featuring on “Menta Y Regaliz”.

25TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION

In 1995 The Pump Panel (Tim Taylor and Dan Zamani) were commissioned by FFRR/London Records to Redux their choice of any New Order track. They selected the 1983 electro track “Confusion” and transformed it into a stunning 10 minute Acid Journey dominated by a distorted and unforgettable 303 Bassline. It was that Killer Acid Riff that has driven this unique story ever since.



Released on FFRR in 1995 “Confusion” (Pump Panel Re-construction Mix) was an instant club hit Worldwide and especially in the Los Angeles Party Scene. It was in LA in 1996 when Wesley Snipes witnessed the track played several times to huge responses and then licensed it personally to his upcoming Blade Movie.



In August 1998 Blade was released in cinemas and went to Number 1 on the US Box Office chart. The opening scene that featured over 4 minutes of “Confusion” propelling the vampire club blood sequence was described in the Los Angeles Times as “The coolest opening to a Movie ever”.



From that point onwards Blade and “Confusion” achieved Iconic status, it was unprecedented for a pumping acid track to be so heavily and famously used in a blockbuster movie.

The legend of “Confusion” and that frenzied opening scene has taken on a life of its own and the long deleted vinyl version is being re-mastered and re-released on Tim Taylor’s Missile Vintage label…This will coincide with the new 4K Ultra release of Blade The Movie in December 2020.

Over a period of seventeen years, Damian Lazarus’ Crosstown Rebels has evolved into a world-renowned institution, garnering global audiences thanks to a consistent schedule of quality releases. Quintessential to the label’s success is the Spirits series, with each edition acting as a musical bastion to showcase the talents of both established and breakthrough artists alike. Now, after much anticipation, the world-renowned compilation will see the light of day once more in the form of Spirits IV, the fourth instalment in Spirits’ ever-evolving saga. The A-side kicks off with Alex Kennon and Pete Tong’s Apache with a stirring intensity, gently winding between spirit-infused vocals and resonant kick-hat combos. Swiftly followed by Crosstown Rebels regular Made By Pete making his Spirits debut with a tribal-laced mystic number in the form of Harar.

The B-side features I See Colour, the latest collaboration from UK-native Luke Brancaccio and long-standing production partner Cypherpunx. Whilst Martin Badder and Pablo:Rita’s stunning collaboration, Phase, soon arrives in its place, rippling with a gentle lucidity thanks to a subtle four-four bassline and mesmeric singing tones.

Matador’s Vultur is up next, a straight-talking dancefloor cut that showcases the Rukus-founder at his best, whilst veteran German producer DJ Linus gives us the penultimate track on Vibes In Space. Indicative of the track’s progression, we are taken on a celestial journey through starry-eyed synths and soft whispering hats.

Echoe-founder Francesca Lombardo showcases her decade-long production experience in Freak On Sea, providing a dubby-leaning club cut that features progressive key changes throughout before ANTS regular Andrea Oliva takes no prisoners on Rawman, serving up a near six-minute cut of pummeling kicks that build into a brooding synth-fuelled crescendo.

Alan Fitzpatrick returns to Radio Slave’s Rekids with the ‘Immortal Daydream’ in January.

Following 2020’s ‘Step Away’ on Rekids, as well as multiple releases on heavy-duty labels such as Drumcode, Hotflush, and of course his own We Are The Brave, Alan Fitzpatrick returns in full techno mode for his second appearance on the imprint in 2021 with an EP of crushing, hypnotic, and uncompromising techno.

Classic 909 kits and spacey reverberations take front and centre across the record, neatly displayed on lead track ‘Everlasting’, which kicks off proceedings by rumbling through a series of sizzling effects and dubbed-out chords. ‘Titan Silence’ follows with reserved synths built delicately around thunderous and attention- grabbing drums; a track built for dark cavernous rooms.

On the flip, ‘Droid Disco’ sees the Southampton powerhouse look to the twilight hours, as off-kilter synths wriggle and evolve throughout, leading into the closing track ‘The Underdog’, which sees Fitzpatrick delve further into the night, combining crunchy drums with soft, elegant synthesis to close off a memorable 12” on a quintessential label.

The third release on the Viennese Techno label is a 3-tracker by Buffered Multiple.

Felix Bernhardt (AFU Limited, Microtonal, 4Club Records) - again - proves amazing skills in producing weird Techno Music !

Dublin based Nice & Nasty is back in the vinyl business after 9 years of digital inertia.

It does so with a carefully pondered package, relying on an ever tightening musical bond between the Netherlands and south Italy. Domino 12' is a split EP between the emerging Italian talent PLAN86, who is a man of mystery and dutch legend Orlando Voorn, plus a signature Artwork by the one and only Alan Oldham.

Side A's opener gives the name to the release, and exemplifies the trippy, synth-oriented kind of Techno that defines this rising producer and won him so many fans within the industry.

The remix by Voorn, under the Basic Bastard guise, syncopates the synth patterns, while slowing the general tempo, but it's side B's first track, Audio Unit:Phase 1' that brings the smile and makes one notice why it's so good to have long time veterans on your side. This track is the way Techno should be, if you praise the origins: funky, funky, funky.

Strings of today' is possibly a homage to the Rhythim is Rhythim anthem and you'd wish it was the trend in today's Techno scene: the progression, the less is more' philosophy of channel build-up... Is it possible to clone Orlando Voorn If anyone of you out there knows how, please get in contact.'

Cheers

Radio Slave returns to his Rekids label with ‘Live My Life’, including a remix from Saved Records’ boss Nic Fanciulli.

Responsible for some of the most recognisable vocal tracks in techno for the past 15 years, Radio Slave’s latest sees him turn in yet another tough, infectious cut that uses soulful vocal refrains as hooks. Airtight, rolling grooves have been a prominent feature in much of Radio Slave’s work, and ‘Live My Life’ is no different, paired with occasionally overlapping vocals it’s a masterclass in tension and release.

On the flip, Grammy-nominated and globally renowned DJ and producer Nic Fanciulli cleverly reinterprets Edwards’ original, in a version that sees a pulsing, offbeat bassline and ever-evolving drums drive the track towards vocal crescendos throughout. Stirring, memorable, and yet another outstanding release from one of dance music’s finest.

German duo Raumakustik are next up on Hot Creations with Animal / Waves, a stunning two track release that features a re-edit from label frontman Jamie Jones.

Animal starts proceedings, as a bouncing reverberating kick gives way to a synth-filled build up. An echoing vocal sample states “acid feel”, before hitting once again with a choppy, swinging bassline. Next up, Jamie Jones delivers a re-edit of Waves, featuring tinny hi-hats, hollow pops and a bouncing arcade build up that is guaranteed to cause a stir on any dancefloor.

Having released their Raider EP on sub-label Hot Trax and Dem A Pree on Emerald City, Raumakustik make their first appearance on Hot Creations. Respected producers in the house and techno scenes, they have also released on the likes of Suara, Toolroom and Microtonal Records. Jamie Jones is someone who needs little introduction. Founder of Hot Creations as well as the Paradise event series, there are few feats left for the Welshman to conquer. Countless esteemed releases coupled with a passion-lead vision have seen Jones become a true master of his craft.

The raves at Same Bitches have not changed much since back in March 2014 at OHM, Berlin. Every second month on the first Saturday at noon sharp the residents Handmade, Ron Wilson, Derek Plaslaiko, VCO and Manuela Mayoral play each a three hour set and after everyone is through the Dj who warmed up goes into the next round continuing the running order with the usual ending in a full on back-to-back orgy. The occasional special guest never gets announced, it is mainly the same bitches in charge.

Inspired by the raw sound of Detroit Techno, the crew have quickly gained underground praise over the years for their liberal queer atmosphere and no compromise after-hour excessive "last raver standing" attitude. Running at least 24 hours up until even 36 hours the raves have no dull moments bringing everyone into euphoria and exhaustion. Hard bouncy house and groovy techno with a lot of acid drive the dancers through the day and night... and day.

After seven years it has come to the point of expanding the realm and the crew decided on releasing a record. The tracks of the first Same Bitches record featuring Handmade, VCO, Ron Wilson and Derek Plaslaiko represent their diverse yet homogenous sound of the parties and arrive just on time for their anniversary in March. Hopefully soon the party can continue and we can all enjoy the music and dance together again...

Boston's Dana Kelley aka Callisto is a man whose music has long been the subject of much deserved adulation. A student of the deep and soulful, an explorer of the melodic and galactic, and an artist who manages to capture imaginations with his supremely crafted sonics. He is a much missed artist, someone who departed the physical too early, but the body of work he left behind has spoken to generations of listeners, DJ's and fans in equal measure.

This, the first of 3 compilations based around his golden period of productions for the legendary Chicago label Guidance Recordings, sees some of Dana's most highly coveted work featured side by side, all together in one place. A celebration of the man's music, his vision and the forward looking nature of his music that is still intact today. It's hard to think of someone with a more unique style and with a truer idea of their own sound-world. Callisto takes us deep inside, into other worlds with his own individualistic take on house, techno, ambient and even jungle and D&B.

These compilations celebrate one of the most idiosyncratic artists from the second wave of US house music producers, a truly essential body of work presented here respectfully, sourced from all audio sources courtesy of Above Board Projects, Guidance Recordings and Dana's family. Mastered by Curved, London and with special artwork by Atelier Superplus featuring a never before seen image of Dana from his family's photo albums.

Gudu Records returns with its fourth release, courtesy of a debut EP from London-based newcomer, JRMS. His music will already be anyone who has caught Gudu boss Peggy Gou's DJ sets over the past couple of years, with JRMS tracks being mainstays of her mixes, including her 2019 DJ-Kicks compilation.

The memorable title track is a percussive, elasticated house delight, blending springing breaks with disorienting rave stabs. This taste for naive melody is further cemented on the loose-limbed 'Shake', while '3' defies it's purely numeric title with gleefully offbeat electro and a shuffling card deck of drums leading forward delicious oscillations. Finally, 'Solo' cruises on with space and sunsets in mind, a rich house journey that underscores both the distinct and versatile promise of JRMS.

The great landing from the Djungel Fever ! Back they are !

Rekids label boss Radio Slave ventures further into unknown territory in a three-part sophomore album entitled ‘Radio Silence’ with the first instalment dropping in June.

Stretching nearly two decades, Matt Edwards’s discography is staggering with releases on labels like Running Back, R&S, Ostgut Ton, Nonplus and Figure, not to mention his illustrious imprint Rekids which has been instrumental in supporting the music and careers of incendiary artists over the years, including Nina Kraviz, Mr. G, DJ Deep, Nic Fanciulli, Peggy Gou, Laurent Garnier, Spencer Parker and many more.

Although he’s released multiple albums under different guises it was only until 2017 that the debut Radio Slave album, ‘Feel The Same’, was released. Now, the renowned UK artist delivers his latest body of work in the form of his ‘Radio Silence’ album, which will be dropping in not one, but three parts.

The first chapter features perhaps the most leftfield tracks we’ve ever heard Radio Slave product, even hitting 150BPM on closing track ‘SYD’. There’s a rawness to the album, which is in part due to the fact each track was recorded live and without edits using hardware and Ableton as the main sequencer.

Across the seven tracks, Radio Slave hone’s in on a sound that’s haunting and hypnotic. Opening track ‘Ghost’ is punctuated by lingering synths, while ‘Cell’ introduces pummelling kicks that will do damage on a big system. ‘Contact’ bleeps and glitches before making way for blaring horn-like synths, and ‘ZQU’ is a masterclass in mind-bending techno. Elsewhere, closing track ‘SYD’ delivers on every level, thanks to uncompromising 150BPM realness.

Steffi and Privacy team up for a tough as nails 3-tracker on Klakson. High octane, fast paced Electro Techno in the best Detroit tradition.

Entirely off the safe path, nonconformity and badass sounds are merging for Snork #72 to send the ultimate SOS for genuine techno. Snork Enterprises meets Remute out in left field with three tracks not only to Save Our Souls, also to save our sound of raw, underground techno. In a distorted space of sound, eclectic Morse-codes come floating while persistent base lines keep the machines running. Sirens sound and tortured steel is building up a sphere ofvibrating noise spreading all over the hull and sustainedly screaming for SOS. Soaring beats forecast the last burst of strength. A freak wave of forceful sounds is rearing up. Scared minds are facing the darkness of endless depth, still longing for the last beam ofmoonlight. Yet, the all-embracing wall of infinity is merciless closing the entire surface. In an ambience of distortion, finally everlasting silence is drawing through the dark deepness devouring every vivid glance. From the distance down below there remains one inward echo - the ultimate SOS.

Wicked breakbeat / jungle fusions by The Jaffa Kid on Nottetempo.

Acid Steve's Avinit label was founded to celebrate the concept of free parties and the culture of acid techno. This release continues the theme in typical brain-melting ribcage-rattling style. We're talking pounding kickdrums, frenzied 303s and standout synths, all surging throughout. A 4-tracker for playing in dark warehouses, sweaty raves, or when driving past VIP nightclubs.

Bad Boy Pete delivers a strident call to reject elitist superclub culture with an standout vocal over thunderous percussion and bubbling acid lines.

Biri 'N' Chris Liberator unleash a snarling beast of mind-twisting 303s and warehouse-ready 909s from the fiery depths of the acid techno underground.

The Geezer serves up a masterclass in rolling techno with uplifting synths swarming all over his trademark relentless rhythms.

Acid Steve brings growling acid, thumping kicks, and a defiant vocal celebrating the underground scene's unrelenting spirit of resistance

In one sense Central Processing Unit is familiar territory for London Modular Alliance - group members Pip Williams (Phil Ventre) and Koova (Gavin Pkyerman) have both dropped EPs through the Sheffield label in the past, the former offering outer-space street-soul on 2017's Outer Limits after Koova had channelled Drexciya for 2015's This Is Not My Future. However, the Cracked Dice EP represents the first time that the trio have come through on CPU in full force, with Simon Lynch completing the lineup alongside Koova and Williams here. Cracked Dice finds them on top form, blending broken-beat machine-funk grooves with latent house and rave tendencies to thrilling effect.

Cracked Dice is ushered in by the weightless atmospherics of its title-track. The combination of synth washes and gurgling electronics here sounds so alien that it could pass for a piece of incidental music from 'The X-Files', but things don't stay that way for long - the track soon snaps into a stargazing club joint in the Detroit mode, one in which spaceship synth wobbles are pushed onwards by lithe, rumbling sub-bass. The combo comes off like an interstellar throwdown between the Midwestern masters of old and modern practitioners of UK soundsystem techno stylings - Lurka, Batu and the like. Following number 'Head Of The Keeper' maintains the energy of its predecessor, warping junglist archetypes around a breakbeat stomp in a manner reminiscent of Special Request.

London Modular Alliance's brand of electro has always been marked out by its playfulness, a feature derived from how snappy drum and synth programming anchor the group's off-the-cuff improvisation. That sensibility is apparent throughout the entirety of this EP, but perhaps nowhere more so than on first B-side cut 'Chemical Peel'. 'Chemical Peel' is at once stiff-necked and rubbery, the hissing hats and old-skool breaks phasing in and out of a boinging bassline which is pure Mr. Fingers goodness. That machine-funk scuttle carries through to closing track 'Lemon Mishap', a piece of insectoid acid-funk so gnarly it will have the crowd convinced that they're hearing the DJ receive an alien transmission in real time.

Cracked Dice sees esteemed electro dons London Modular Alliance whip up machine-funk, junglism and Midwestern house/techno into a quartet of club tools which are as sleek and futuristic as a lazerbeam.

The Drumcode A-Sides compilation is quickly becoming synonymous within the techno world as a go to compilation for the hottest tracks that are deservedly A-side material in their own right. Each specific track has its own unique character that brings an outstanding and electrifying aspect to the compilation that as a whole makes it something extremely special. Mixing both highly experienced and new artists has helped to bring a new dimension to the compilation that makes it such a special array of tracks.

Adam Beyer's Drumcode juggernaut attracts more fans and critical plaudits with each passing year. Holding firm on its future facing ethos, techno's number one label presents a new volume in its acclaimed A-Sides series with 20 prime tracks to signify its 20th anniversary. Such is the volume of quality music Adam Beyer receives throughout the course of the year, releasing all of it would be impossible. Enter the blue chip A-Sides series: a chance for the quality-obsessive label head to issue a collection of outstanding tracks that couldn't fit in their regular EP release schedule. With an eye on future talent, as much as the label's established roster of heavy-hitters, the compilation showcases the full breadth of Drumcode's multifaceted techno sound, equal parts inspiring and functional. Led by the stealth techno funk of 'Nine of You', Beyer's deft collaboration with Mark Reeve, the compilation takes in exciting highlights from big guns such as Alan Fitzpatrick, Dustin Zahn, Bart Skils, Pleasurekraft, Luca Agnelli, Jay Lumen, Kaiserdisco and Gary Beck.
The rich vein of form displayed by emerging techno talent is similarly given prime position. Rising DJ/producer Boxia makes his Drumcode debut, fresh from a well-received warm up set for the crew at the hugely successful Junction 2 festival in London, while the likes of Enrico Sangiuliano, Juan Sanchez, Ian O'Donovan and Timmo also drop fire, establishing their credentials as some of the most promising talent breaking through the ranks in 2016.
Reinforcing the global scope of the label, artists such as The Junkies from Toronto and Layton Giordani from New York, prove techno is winning a place in the heart of the new generation of artists coming out of North America.

Heavy dubby Techno sounds from the PRRUK camp.
Advanced Human brings heavy chord vibes and steady going kickdrums. The FX on this record are well-shaped with an emerging break down and some original edits. Tough yet high class underground dancefloor techno.

Angelina Rose is a Ukrainian producer & DJ from Hanover, Germany who is happy to present her debut release 'Shift EP' on her freshly launched label 'Solid Wood Records'.

The record is equipped with two unapologetic cutz of an exploration between dub techno and a raw dance floor compatible grind.

The classic Aphex Twin album - originally released in 1992. Arguably one of the most influential electronic albums of album time. A total must have.

We have the honour to welcome the Swedish based Axling.

Axling debutes on Eternal Friction Records with a 4 track EP called "Perplex".

The result is a powerful EP, that clearly demonstrates Axling's unique and personal approach to contemporary techno.

"Perplex" is filled with powerful grooves, hypnotising leads and uplifting rhythms, is what Axling is all about.

We're very happy to welcome Axling to Eternal Friction Records. Who knows what the future will bring us. Hopefully these banging tunes can destroy some dancefloors.

The next release on Phase Group comes in the form of the debut self-titled album by Carcass Identity, the live mutant-electronics partnership of Bruxelles-based artists Ernesto Gonzalez and Matthieu Levet aka Bear Bones Lay Low and Carrageenan.

Following up their breakthrough 2018 EP on Random Numbers, Carcass Identity present us with 6 tracks of warped, percussive, dub-infused psychedelics, born of live hardware jams and succinct sampling work.

Sonically, this LP takes you from the tension-inspiring but dance floor initiating stutter-chug of ‘Things to Forget,’ through the swelling and trance-inducing percussion ride of ‘Spiraling Paradigm’ before ending the A-side with the dubbed-out metallic IDM of ‘Freedom Principle’. On the flip, ‘Quiet Spectator’ is a masterpiece of dread-in-dub ominosity followed by the haunted machine jam of ‘Kundu Basket’. Finally, ‘Desultory’ presents the LPs “grooviest” moment, a repeating and evolving synth line and drum machine combo holding things together while modulating synths and a pitched-vocal sample come in and out of the mix.

As a collection of tracks, this record illustrates perfectly the prowess over hardware manipulation that these two artists possess after years individually releasing music and performing in DIY spaces across Europe and the world. These are two musicians that we hold in highest regard and we’re thrilled to be releasing their debut album together on Phase Group.

The 7th release is a solo EP of Elad Magdasi, label owner and passionate raver.

Elad showcases four different tracks that share his core essence of groove and drive. Each track brings something different to the table. "Free Your Mind" is the trippy rumbly one. "Let's Go" will take you back to love parade times. "Teleport" will send you to space, and "Galactic Tools" is a total acid trip celebration.

Front Left Love.

"There was a time when Techno was written with a K; when the music was presented as a song not as a track. It followed a structure - intro, chorus, bridge... These recordings were naive, spontaneous, and raw, that's what made some of them timeless.

Taking inspiration from this period, here is my interpretation. Contemporary Tekno, with a K."
