Techno Vinyl New Releases - News

Even darker and more extreme than #1, with a.o. Legowelt, Kassen, Schmerzlabor, Nimoy, Technician, etc.

Fully loaded rompers, drawing from influences both far and unexpected corners of the globe that have been proven to be tools for the floor. The Russian duo made their debut last year on Private Persons with their 'Forever Punk' EP, leaving a heavy mark on lovers of tape-hissed electro, EBM madness, and acid-tinged worship. With their next release, Lomay EP, we see a continuation of that same energy, but with an even more broader approach; pushing the boundaries of what EBM, acid, and techno mean today.

TRAM Planet is excited to announce the release of the 'Lomay' EP, making it the first vinyl release of the label.

Inner Surface Music is proud to present its next release from JK Flesh, Justin Broadrick needs no introduction fans of hardcore, metal and industrial music will know him from Napalm Death, Godflesh, Techno Animal, Jesu and Pale Sketcher to name a few.

'Wasplike' see´s Jk Flesh enter a new strain of his techno, the drums are both distorted and sculpted for the dance floor. Heavy and syncopated rhythms build tension while an elastic bass-line hovers and mutates around melodic washes. 'Mindprison' is a pummelling techno cut, sleazy grooves snake around the thudding kick drum and the greasy bass spreading across the dance floor like an uncontrollable oil spill. Dissonant chords and bell sequences modulate and enter us into a more tripped out dimension. 'New Build Estate' starts with pure tension the hats are fizzling and the low end is hammering, sharp mutilated synth sequences cavort to each others intention and lush pads enter us into the unapproachable splendour of empyrean . This is peak time rawness with real sophistication. 'Dark Horse' is the archetypal JK Flesh track. Slower in tempo than the others but as the name suggests this is a deeper cut but it still lacerates the speakers with the grungey bass-line weaving through the stomping overdriven kick and metallic percussion. The groove is undulating and as it flows it twists and turns before your eyes, while dark textures scrape around the walls in the distant echoes.

The second NEW YORK TRAX Imports record is by Endlec from Thessaloniki, Greece, a rising techno star affiliated with the Mord Records powerhouse. This thunderous concept EP consists of four recordings produced in April and September of 2016 at UTR Studios in Greece. All tracks were programmed and recorded live in one take with almost no changes to their arrangement. The outcome is unbeatable 90s sounding hard and raw techno, which you rarely hear in the present era of artificially polished sound.

Inner Surface Music is proud to present its next release from Canadian duo MDD.

Falling Inside opens the ep bringing together industrial and punk prototypes of the duo's influences in the shape of a techno stomper. Chunky kick drums and gnarly textures fizzle and pop to the march of the industrial rhythms before the low slung bassline and abstract vocal cuts take the track into a darker realm. Tension builds and welds together heavy broken kick patterns with crisp but rusty percussion demolishing everything in sight. The elements amalgamate together creating tension with walls of sub bass, while remaining spacious and nonchalant with glacial atmospheric pads, dropping and breaking like a thunderstorm overhead.

Truth + Method has a pulsating punk like groove, pumping kick drums play off lacerated snare and high hat hits. The groove is relentless, funky bass lines, distorted vocal stabs and obscure concrete style pads fabricate as if melting in the tape machine. Techno music with an organic industrial feel, warm analog sounds with a metallic and vicious sensibility.

Destruction Of Metaphysics is a true representation of the MDD sound. Dark playful electronica walking the line between industrial, experimental and techno. The distorted bass and percussion are fully over driven in the mix pushing the elements to the extremity, clanging piston like snares drop to give structure to the savage groove. Noise and textured elements build and reverberate to let you feel like you are trapped inside the machines of a huge power plant, reduced but elaborate in style and experimentation.

The second release this year from Tom Dicicco and AnD's Inner Surface Music maintains the Various Artists theme of the label's debut transmission which featured music from AnD, Sunil Sharpe, Ascion and Truss. Titled simply EP2, the new record welcomes ISM debuts from ferocious Japanese producer Yuji Kondo (aka Ducerey Ada Nexino), Spanish deep techno purveyor NX1, Repitch Recordings co-founder D.Carbone, and a new track from Tom Dicicco.

Techno Industrial Banging pearl !

"Resist the categories that define and divide"

Uncanny Valley EP sonically explores the uneasy, obscure but familiar relationships between human and machine in contemporary life. This is the debut release on RESIST, the record label launched by experimental club/art hybrid event from Belfast, Northern Ireland. This debut release is by RESIST event and label founder, Koichi. Remix comes from electronic music innovator and Eotrax label owner, Eomac in an anxiety driven, frenzied remix of the title track.

Jagged and angular sonics, and warm organic artefacts are the defining sound of this release, which imitates the theme behind the music. Machines are being engineered to have a place in intimate and personal areas of human life. What does it mean to be human in this increasingly digital world Are we anything more than complicated robots made of flesh Where does humanity stop and the uncanny begin

Koichi returns with a new sound, signalling a departure away from his previous aesthetic and into a new direction breaking free from the boundaries and categories of restrictive genre definitions. His music continues to contain a heavy techno aspect, and also draws on raw industrial and experimental influences.

Koichi is an electronic musician, music researcher, and event curator who explores resisting exclusionary identities and disrupting discourses of power and prejudice through music and live digital art.

The Demonic Waves familly is invited on Rouge De Colere for a first Vinyl production !

A superb sound quality here with brilliant tunes from very undeground future overground artists... the new Hardcore generation, daring the melt between industrial, doom , hard technoid and acid.

We are here with 4 very structured tunes, probably not easy to mix on vinyl but really deserving some headheackes to reach the perfection.

Big one ! A bit downtempo for a change on this quiet speedcore label :) I recogn !

6 track mini album with electronic body music on the new Detriti label. Sometimes reminding a bit of good old Front 242 with spontanious use of samples, masculine male vocals and fierce drum programming! First Edition of 200 copies.

10 track longplayer by Visitors on the new Detriti label. Very much mid/late 80's Dark wave, Belgium New Beat, EBM! Recommended. First edition of 200 copies.

Justin K Broadrick puts his club foot forward for Downwards on four trampling techno bombs gathered under the Exit Stance EP. With no prizes for guessing what the title is about, the Godflesh/Jesu/Final bloke further girds us against broken Britain's grim future following his Suicide Estate 2LP for Hospital Productions.
This is some of Broadrick's most direct, primitive, and ruggedly impactful gear, forged in the belly of the black country with charred traces of late '90s Brummie techno edged by sparingly used daubs of patented, pollutant synths and plasmic dubbing.
A-side; he offloads the rollicking hydraulics of Exit Stance, a rallying charge of tribal bass drums and cranky percussion from the Female/Regis skool, whilst the droning, beat-less squabble of Motivated By Jealousy takes an acute measure of blighty's radgy pulse.
B-side; his Bullied By Love comes off as a grimacing answer to Ancient Methods' industrial steppers, then Caveman goes on like a chips 'n curry sauce-fed analog to Muslimgauze-via-Vatican Shadow vibes.Aye, we're all fucked. But at least we can dance about it with JK Flesh..

* London based electronic music label Khemia Records announces its seventh split release vinyl Ep.

* The third edition of the Magnum Opus Series features Thee Art Ov Metals, a raw, menacing, post-punk inflected cut, drenched in reverb over an insistent ebm groove from Broken English Club alongside the pristine cardio bleeps and rave hypnosis of Claus Fuss' Static Ace.

* Together they form the Citrinitas Edition.

You're invited once again to the IAV vaults, where the measured density of "instant classics" is getting higher and higher as we dig. This time around, you're up for three techno steamrollers, infused with both club and rave DNA, from distant times ranging between 1989 and 2000. While those tracks will let you connect with your utmost dancefloor and rave self, one should keep in mind Laurent Prot is not your average club punter. Set aside his more recent club live PAs, Laurent has hardly even been to clubs or raves altogether. Funny enough, the dancefloor is not his favorite place to be, but he's been cultivating this special techno fantasy-land from his own studio in the Lyon suburbs. His own little private funky town

Following the blistering inaugural release from Talker comes the
second release on the Standards & Practices imprint from label
co-founder Jonathan 'Stave' Krohn, who returns with 5 tracks of dark,
visceral electronic music for the discerning listener. 'Black Hills'
and 'TASC US' kick off the proceedings in fine style - pummeling
drums underpinning harsh blasts of noise and bleak, greyscale
atmospherics, while 'In/Human' and 'B5' on the flip take a different
approach - 2 tracks not aimed at the dancefloor, but both retaining
that cold, claustrophobic feel that characterizes much of Stave's
work. The brooding and sinister 'Stave 17' closes the EP, moving into
exciting new territory with an intensely cinematic sound

Classy, Ebm Dominated & Centered Integration Of Techno & Far-out, Noisy Electronics (in Gatefold Sleeve W/ Download Code).

For over 4 years, David Coccagna aka Chaperone has been a constant part of Great Circles, as musician, art director, and muse. With Snapback Balaclava he once again fully embodies all of those roles, delivering three inspiring tracks, selecting his remixers with specific attention to their musical histories, and designing his cover art.

Across the A-side, Chaperone scrapes away at the grit - personal grit, the grit of anxiety, and Philly grit. These are meditations on loops, and loops on meditations. Each one appears on the surface to be a brief quote, but time dilation takes over, and minutes later we discover that Chaperone has welcomed us into and back out of his own healing moment.

Like Chaperone's P O N D release (GRCR-009), the B-side of Snapback Balaclava is a Great Circles extended family affair with a trio of diverse remixes that expose and exploit fragments of the chaos Chaperone so carefully contained.

Hitoshi Kojima (Thrive) reinterprets Pulse Feels Swells Beating with relentless syncopated rhythms and synth lines that hang like massive string drones. M//R lays down a signature percussion ensemble palette, zeroes in on otherwise peripheral elements of Grit Neglect, and then deftly navigates sea change with both. Matt Korvette and Sean McGuinness of Philly punk band Pissed Jeans open up the pit and finish the story, taking Femur Baseball Bat to its literal and brutal potential with monstrous vocals and kicks.

pulsewidthmod,creates tracks that are very epic and driving in nature; all of which are recorded as live techno jams using Elektron's Dark Trinity and an MS20 mini. Her influences from Techno to Industrial, EBM, and Belgium New Beat leaves the listener with some menacing drums and a juxtaposition of both pleasing and disorienting melodies.


Serpentine Servitude explores the idea that perhaps the serpent in the garden of eden was really being humanities servant. Who was this creator character to dictate which fruit was ok for us to eat Who was he or they to say that if we ate the fruit we would be tainted and forever separate from divine love All this did was create the idea in our consciousness that we were tainted. It is of my personal belief that the idea that we are sinful is the original sin. This God character who created beings in his own image and then dictated how they were to live their life kind of sounds like an over controlling father. Where is mother in all this The album started with the track 'Original Sin' which was originally titled 'acid'. Seems somewhat appropriate since the concept of original sin seems to be a violation on humanities consciousness

Futile Demise EP is an emotional and disconcerting journey through the mind of Finnish artist Juha Puupera¨. Drawing on influences from Norwegian black metal, UK sound system culture and Italian horror cinema of the 1970s, Gruth mixes dark and aggressive tones in his sonic palette. His production methods are often experimental and the style rarely fits into one box as it spans forward-thinking techno, black ambient and doom industrial.

With his EP, Gruth shapes Montevideo-based Tormenta Electrica label's first release. Of the four tracks featured, two are collaborations with the Finnish techno and ambient artist Ikola, known for his Etherwerks label, while the mysterious Helsinki-based violinist and sound designer KuJo contributes to the other two.

Pinkman delivers another sturdy record for the connoisseurs of discomforting electronics. The second 5 Years Of Tears release unifies 6 artists, each with their own interpretation of the labels ill-famed sound, embodied in vibrating basslines, metallic beats, and corrosive acid. Gear yourself up for yet more nerve-racking music and get accustomed to the obscurity of this series of releases, because the madness is all but finished.

Denise Rabe, one of the strongest members of our crew is back on the label with a stunning follow up, Oneirology is the scientific study of dreams, 3 Tracks that explore this dynamic in depth, completed by an impressive remix from the swedish misterious duo Shxcxchcxsh. Sonic hyperbole.

ABYSS Recordings debut vinyl release Envisioned Disorder features Rommek, Yuji Kondo, Snitch and Michal Jablonski.

Noisy hardcore broken textures, like waking up after a bad after. Death Grips style turns has been after that one !

Ltd 2x12" Vinyl, custom sleeve. Outstanding upfront Drum & Bass & developed Industrial Techno derived steppers.

Mick Harris arrives on L.I.E.S. via his FRET moniker. A man who needs no introduction via his exploits in Napalm Death and Scorn among a slew of other projects, Harris returns after his lp last year, bringing FRET back to life once again. Four tracks of absolutely crushing broken techno, dense blasting and unstoppable chaos that lays waste to all in sight. Trancers and candy ravers step aside. An unmissable record from a true originator.

Restless Breed 3.0 is the next issue of the various artists compilation on STONEDWAVE providing you with a new bunch of material showcasing the labels 2 sides.
This package brings you :
A1
We start with SANE - The Hangover. This tune is made for quirkier techno sets. It is a funky wonky techno tune mocking around with a whistling lead synth on top of a tripped out Beat.

A2
Next one is Chordata - Silent Singer. Electrobeats mark the rhythm for this progressive adventure into space. Electro in the good old Detroit or dutch fashion.

A3
Jochen Heym is also featured twice on it. After his ep "Sononaut" this time he brings a mellow braindance electro tune: Floating Soul

B1
In Addition B1 contains a remix of the cling clang ambient tune of the Stonedwave005 => Chip Tronic transforms the ambient piece into a hectical electro tune.

B2
B2 is the final tune. Chip Tronic - Frequency modulated metallic wide hypnotic screaming leads are being carved into the listeners brain while being distrted and modulated by any means available. The number 18 implies => dark techno rhythms for wonky minds who love it more distorted.

VENT forges new alliances, as Dee Grinski and Tolga Baklacioglu joins forces to explore musical synergies on a collaborative LP release of drone alchemy, eternal rhythms and harrowing vocalisations, which explores the lightless mazes of subconscious voids, teasing at barely understood taboos. Tolga's past explorations of unrelenting industrial sounds are further refined, and enforced with Dee's vocal talent that covers a wide range of expression - from commanding and authoritative to harrowing howls of disembodied despair. They invite us to come with on a journey towards the lightless fringes of cognisance.

* After two years of the "Anubi" released, awaited return on the Italian duo Beat Movement has embarked a new journey in Berlin and unveils this landmark sequel under Luciano Lamanna's Love Blast, among their own label Dlbm. the duo has released Ep's collaborating various artists like Endlec and Umwelt. Moving into the future sound, Beat Movement envisions a new era of dynamic techno by curating futuristic and punchy form of music dismissing the most commonly used of dark frequencies which break all the usual boundaries of techno music. Entrainment is a futuristic prodigy with hypnotic synthesis, syncopated basses, and progressing into intense rhythms that will encapsulate the mind and body, transporting it to a full-blown raving era.

Without paying attention to the market demand or industry standards."

Oscar Mulero presents: 'Perfect Peace'. Don't expect dancefloor burners here, this time the spanish techno master goes deep and low, exploring sonic textures, low BPM grooves and the intelligent side of electronic music. Melodies, pads, drones and grooves collide in this soulful collection, conceived to be listened as a soundtrack. Oscar is not new to this sounds, in his Grey Fades To Green or Muscle and Mind albums he showcased his abilities in this field as well as with his Av projects Biolive and Monochrome. A new step in Oscar Mulero's ever growing career, showing his studio skills and music taste, far beyond his role as a fundamental techno dj.

New York City has had a long history of dance music fused with confrontational performance. Whether it came from within the late 70's No Wave canon projected through venues like the Mudd Club or the downtown avant-garde galleries such as The Kitchen, the feeling that influences and infects Brooklyn-based duo Wetware's overall being as a cohesive and confrontational unit is as much enigmatic as it is familiar. Formed in 2015, Wetware eased into its performative role with their live shows around their home base of Brooklyn, NY.

Vocalist Roxy Farman, who's familiar voice was last seen on Drew McDowall's 'Unnatural Channel' album, stole audience's attention from the moment they started, using her body in tandem with her voice as a weaponised vehicle for the band's anxiety filled performance. Matthew Morandi cut his teeth in the electronic music world through his solo tech-industrial project Jahiliyya Fields and partner to Inhalants, the techno collaboration of Morandi and Max Ravitz (Patricia). The synergy that developed between Farman and Morandi has been explosive. Wetware's live antics and behaviour has caused alarm and envy amongst their local audiences, causing Wetware the group to 'not be missed' on any particular bill that they are allowed to take part in.


Wetware stepped out from their live persona and self-recorded a selection of songs that viewers had grown accustomed to and were debuted on the flawlessly curated Primitive Languages imprint. Shortly following their recorded premier was an EP collection of demo recordings on the much praised Bank NYC label. Once the band reconciled with documenting their work, they set out, with the help of engineer Kris Lapke (Alberich / Hospital Productions) to formalise their most recent output in the context of their first full length album entitled 'Automatic Drawing'.

Given Wetware's penchant for endurance, as displayed by their 3 hour long production at Koenig & Clinton Gallery in the Summer of 2017, one would expect the usual restlessness on Wetware's debut full length. All of the apprehension and unease in Wetware seems to have been channeled into a string of cohesive electronic statements found on songs 'Frequent Dreamlands' and 'Ode to Joe'. Industrial dance rhythms bounce around Farman's poetic stance on 'Where Ever You Were', causing flashbacks of an early 80's dystopia that jumps around a confusing, uncomfortable backdrop. Inter-spliced with modular electronic instrumentals like the album's opener 'Pantomime', Wetware's devastating portrait is that of a society in peril.

Repitch Recordings' new release is one of a kind. Attesting to the greatness of Belgian industrial techno pioneer Hypnoskull's album 'ffwd>burnout', the label has compiled a fresh selection from the 1999 milestone and now pressed it for the first time on vinyl. The aim is to introduce its grinding breakbeats, its blasting hyperbolic groove, and ferocious disturbance to a new generation, championing an undying enthusiasm for heavy and deconstructed club sounds. Moreover, the EP comes with an exclusive remix by Birmingham Master Surgeon, whose own militancy in hard-edged techno has contributed to his legendary status, reuniting a different yet somewhat similar vision of dancefloor experimentation. It also includes an updated version of Hypnoskull's manifesto, renewing his methods of cultural resistance.

Pærer, fresh Label from France, influenced by Detroit pioneers, UK experiments and Berlin vibe, aims to promote the deep and
experimental sides of techno. The first EP is a distant trip into a spatial atmosphere, combining percussive beats and perfect raw
mixtures. An entrance in a deepness and grainy world, where you can feel the ground humming... Include tracks by Voice of Sylenth (Oscil8) , Untitled Signal, Jiman (Nowhere, Forsaken Cell, Singular) and a remix by Birth of Frequency (Construct Re-Form, Enemy Records, Concrete). Enjoy !

On this new split EP, we welcome two knights of the european electro scene. On the A side, the irish man DeFeKT, who already released several bombs on Earwiggle, Solar One Music or Newflesh. On the B side, the french killer Maelstrom, who shows us his darkest face here, after some strong releases on RAAR, Zone or Cititrax. One EP, two buddies, four heavy tracks for the bangers.

Superb industrial techno Ep, Dancefloor and deep in the sound. Perfect !

After a more than well-received first release, Black Carpet returns with 4 fresh industrial tinged techno behemoths.

The Amsterdam centred producer Shrouds has been given the honours to do so, with Zhark veteran HUREN on remix duty.

A1: Starts of firing on all cylinders and does not stop doing so. Stomping four-to- the-floor on some serious up-tempo business. Ghostly sounds dominate the breaks, only for a short-lived period, continuing relentlessly with stomping kicks to warrant you a safe but not so sound journey home.

A2: An off-beat Industrial monster, for the dankest of warehouses. Eerie voices and squelching synths at a bonafide break-neck tempo.

B1: Heavily robotized techno with an Industrial swank for those sweaty 5-AM sessions, dancefloor destruction clearly is at mind here. After the second break, vocals intensify and so does all the other mayhem. An absolute monster on the loose.

B2: HUREN showing the more "subtle" aquatic one of the pack. A slow heavy burner, with the dreadest of bass. Something like an old-skool half-step lurcher meeting with a German industrialist over some coffee.
