Techno Vinyl New Releases - News

Crafted between the years 2000-2008, 'Immerse' is a massive selection of some of the finest deep pulsating dark ambient tracks that we have ever heard. Together they create a journey through depth and darkness with a gripping emotional hook that almost stand unprecedented.


This is how Periskop described the advent of these enthralling pieces of music in a recent conversation:
'Immerse' is partly the subtle deep repetitive pulsations of the early dub techno scene and partly the dark ritual emotional/cathartic approach of the industrial soundscape movement of the 80s and 90s. I was compelled to combine the two approaches in a personal space or sound to overcome states of alienation and emptiness. The layer-on-layer compositions are a result of more or less meditative explorations of these states in symbiosis with the music making equipment. Some of the sounds are field recordings and vocals/voices/breathing and some of them are synths and sampled drum machines, but I have tried to blur the line between the two types of sources to avoid too many references to existing music or phenomena from normal human experiences.'

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

Inner Surface Music are very proud to present the first album on the label from Grey Branches (Yves De Mey). Neuroclaps LP is a journey into the immersive world of Grey Branches, bringing together sounds and influences from techno, jungle, dub, experimental and ambient music.

´Arches´ opens with bass oscillations that swell and build into slow rhythmic patterns with machine grooves, teasing us for what lies ahead. ´Acrylic Hunger´ has stepping drums playing around swung baselines and modular synthesis layering into a pulsating dance floor pressure. ´Bevel´ builds around cavernous textures, laser like drums and analogue riffs. Killer sound design bringing elements of dub and techno together in its own form. ´Rushed Corrosion´ is built for dirty basement clubs, raw synth oscillations weave together creating a wave of tension with the driving power of techno with jungle ideology. ´Automatic Gallows´ slows down the tempo and enters the experimental realms, a slow undulating drum palette meets cosmic spaced out pads before collapsing into a black hole. ´Split Limb´ hits the floor hard with a wall of cold distorted bass, experimental kick drums and rugged rhythms. Syncopated experimental music by nature that remains direct and powerful for the dance floor. ´Rammed´ playful melodic sequences and atmospheric landscapes melt in harmony around broken kick drums and stripped percussion, pulling the listener closer to mesmerise you further. ´Unpaced´ is a short but intense piece of techno experimentation, sharp and delicate rhythms unfold around ethereal layers of noise and textures. ´Neuroclaps´ the title track is a perfect example of the Grey Branches sound. Hard in dynamics, while remaining funky and driving for the dance floor. The sound of early electronica with a unique feel of its own. ´Synthesis Swindle´ closes with deep otherworldly layers of bass, choral pads and sonic artefacts submerging the listener into a state of enchantment.

VOITAX returns with the label's ninth release - four cuts of stark, futuristic techno. Bringing together throbbing, hard-edged funk and tripped-out sound design, "run your mouth" is both a unique, and timeless take on the industrial techno sound, and one that is guaranteed to decimate the floor.

Ravage is proud to present the Hyperborean Land EP by the upcoming French duo As Patria. This release marks the third instalment in their White Series label. The A1 and B1 contain two sensitive and mesmerizing productions, portraying the distinctive As Patria sound. The A2 and B2 consist of two mind-bending versions, presented by French wave producer In Aeternam Vale. These versions are quite similar, but are both a piece of art in their own way. DJ FEEDBACK early support from Behzad & Amarou: DOPE !!! Full Support 4 my homies. Svreca / Semantica: Solid 12". Original tracks and both versions from In Aeternam Vale are nice. Full support.

Hot on the heels of the massive Tinfoil 4 (which gave us one of 2016's standout tracks "Foil 23"), Sunil Sharpe and DeFeKT return with the fifth installment of their ongoing collaborative project. This time christening most of the tracks with names rather than numbers, the pair continue to display their versatility over this fresh new 4-tracker. "Twerp", "Booyaah", "Leave Your Body" and "Foil 30" visit various areas of Tinfoil's repertoire from their trademark modular snarling techno to hypnotic DJ tools, to the weird, vocal-laced concoctions that they make with apparent ease. Another hugely original, and straight-up rocking EP from Tinfoil.

* New from Stonedwave (founded by Chip Tronic), who has lately been active for both the kugkmusique and the oyabun labels comes a collection of powerful dark wonky techno tracks who have been created for freaking out on the dancefloor while still creating pictures in the listeners mind . The tunes have been selected and tested by Dj Wotta Mess. The latter has been doing the Warm Up for Dont radio show which is a regular internet event before Jerome Hill´s London based events.

* Dj Wotta Mess selected his favourite tunes by Chip Tronic to test them on a dubplate (like in the UK Jungle scene in the 90's ). The results can be found are on this 12 inch which has a 95% green, 5% black color, thus being dark but shimmering in the sunlight like an evil artefact. Thus it reflects the mai topic of the record: the fight between hell and heaven, or between the artist and the machines. The tracks were recorded in several studio live sessions.

* The artist was deeply influenced by some urban fantasy novels dealing with this topic but also by classic novels like Dante´s Inferno or ancient stories.

* The record starts with 'Tanz im Bannkreis' a kind of pagan dance in a witch circle, consisting of a repetitive rhythm , jumping back and forth on a crunchy bassline which is accompanied by rocket like whistles which finally hypnotize the listener / dancer and culminate in an ancient hymn for modern dancefloors.
'Dante' has a powerful swing, hell´s bass and again: glitch, funk, tech & roll.
'Michael Wins' tells an ancient story about a fight between the archangel Michael and the duke of greece and is one of the longtest tracks on this ep, with longer breaks, again lot of shuffles, glitches and syncopated breaks and the reece basslines
'Alphalegion' might be the most straightforward tune on the ep with a friendlier undertone, telling the story of an Astartes Legion in the Warhammer40 k universe.

* Perc & Truss rework two key cuts, taken from Mumdance & Logos' debut album 'Proto' and deliver us a pair of hard-as-nails techno bangers.

* 'Move Your Body' is mutated from the hardcore-referencing original into a searing industrial belter. Perc & Truss' version makes use of distorted 808 drums and rising machine noise to ramp up the tension before eventually dropping out to the 'move your body' vocal sample and unleashing a terrorising acid line. Dancefloor killer.

* Flip for 'Hall Of Mirrors' which sees the pair re-route Mumdance & Logos' original into a 4/4 roller, peppered with metallic percussive hits and and a robotic bass riff. Hard, uncompromising techno built just the way it should be.

Repress - Originally released in August 2011.

Parts 2 & 3 merge loping HipHop into quickstepping Juke momentum with swirling atmospheres, kinda like Blue Daisy jacked up on meth. 'Turiya' is sweeter cool-out 2-step joint with textured Burial-esque finish applied to crisp, classic-referencing 2-step Rave.'

Limited to 200 copies on yellow, labelless vinyl is the latest release on Leipzig's Minor Label, fusing the creative forces of the two artists that have been responsible for a main part of the labels output throughout the past two years. Whilst Yvat fuses heavy distortion, beat twisting and melodious Electronica in a kind of Aphex Twin-manner on the A-side we see Tlic explore cold, grinding, sci-fi'ish soundspheres based on a slow, pounding 4/4 foundation on his B1 tune "Digital Kautschuk" whilst things are speeding up with "Homeo Sapiens" on B2 to a not less grinding effect. Frosty.

Hand-Numbered Edition of 200 black/white label, full colour folder sleeve in heavy PVC outer with download code.

Aurora Borealis is proud to unleash Orphan Swords' License To Desire Remixes' LP on limited edition vinyl on Aurora Borealis on May 15th, alongside the reissue of License To Desire'.

The sonic tangle and entheogenic orgy of the demonically inspired Asmoday' and the tranced-out Hooker', are given workovers by Helm, Icon Template, Black Rain, Prostitutes and Svengalisghost.

This is remix as rite of destruction, the tracks being disfigured rather than beautified for commodification. Awkward, uncomfortable listening rubs shoulders with pounding bass, post-techno hiss squall prevails. And then there's the superbly dirty fever-dream lope of the Black Rain remix.


Bio: Formed in 2013, Orphan Swords is a Belgian electronic duo. Their music, described as a brutal hypnosis' by Ransom Note, has been released on Desire Records, Clan Destine and Idiosyncratics. Idiosyncratic is indeed a description that perfectly fits both their releases and live performances. Recently back from the US, they have shared bills with acts as diverse as Oathbreaker, Andy Stott and Vatican Shadow.

Their new collaborative side project Black Swords with Stuart Argabright of Black Rain (Blackest Ever Black) was released on Vienna's Noiztank label. "The ten-minute Marchosias'...builds into a droning blur with surging drums, echoed, incomprehensible vocals and all sorts of sharp edges. "Asmoday" conjures its own mass of screeching, cackling distortion, but adds an icy sense of melody through a few sustained synth riffs, and fixes everything to a rolling kick. "Hooker" is the most subdued thing yet from Orphan Swords, but it's no less potent. Its steady bass thrums and light, hazy swirls of harmonized noise make for a supremely soothing comedown." - Resident Advisor

The new album of Toulouse based producer Verset Zero : a scary and tortured release with black metal influences. The original tracks are accompanied by three remixes (Blush Response, Violet Poison and Huren).

This is the first project of a series of vinyl, which aim is to explore the deep link between man and analogic machines. Every track is sampled by analogic hardware machines in order to keep the unique, distorted, boiling sound like only these instruments are able to do. This four-track release is the result of a dogged industrial groove fixed by the deepest techno side of the drum. It mesmerizes with the electric pulse of its eclectic riffs and the power of its raving sound.

Lucindo returns for his 2nd release on 3TH Records which he runs with Ascion and D. Carbone.
Alien Rebellion enters with atmospheric textures and strings rising from the abyss into a new world of deep tension and emotion. Once the dust has settled, we enter full out attack with industrial rhythms, ruffled percussion and acidic lazer beams. The journey continues along paths unknown, dark underlying elements of the alien attack is upon us, Insanity and anxiety enter the inner dimensions of the mind. The chase is on and battle commences as we feel the power and the energy of the sonic weaponry. As we make it through the other side we feel cosmic clouds of waveforms encapsulate us, as we make our homeward journey

Uncanny, fervid music from fire-walking rituals, recorded in the village of Agia Eleni, Serres, Greece, in 1979 (and originally released in a tiny edition by the redoubtable Editions Zero and Echomusic), alongside killer new invocations - excoriated, dread, ecstatic, driven - summoning the saints their own way.

This highly anticipated release by Los Angeles based artist, AXKAN, delivers a powerful message to the techno underground, letting everyone know this record hasn't come to this point by mistake. With powerful remixes by Luis Flores, Pinion and RolandoHödar to support, AXKAN delivers a strong statement with 'Tension', a techno masterpiece with broken industrial rhythms that is bound to shake floors, and crack the surface. He masterfully creates some true and raw emotion, with his dark, sinister and gritty sounds that is guaranteed to grab attention from the beginning. Axkan's self-confident creativity, however didn't come alone. Techno heavyweight Luis Flores provided a remix that is nothing short of spectacular. He encapsulates Axkan's raw, dark noises, and completely manipulates them into a gnarled and twisted rendition. Pinion's remix perfectly complements the release in a cohesive way to get the dance floor moving. His unique characteristics include a deadly vicious groove with glitchy vocals combined with deep melodies. Aerotek founder, RolandoHödar, had to get his hands in there, with his industrial techno breaks remix to add to this ferocious ride. With all tracks united together, this EP is rooted with serious energy and will undoubtedly tear speakers apart. It exploits experimental to traditional 4X4 percussion workouts and is definitely worth listening.

Roll the Dice are back with a new full length album, 'Born to Ruin'. The Swedish duo, consists of Malcolm Pardon and Peder Mannerfelt, both established musicians in their own right.
Pardon's background producing scores for film and television is reflected in Roll The Dice's cinematic aesthetic., while Mannerfelt's acclaimed third solo album 'Controlling Body' landed in 2016 and follows on from his acclaimed work as producer for Fever Ray.
In 2013 the pair contributed to the Blanck Mass-curated score for the Belgian horror movie 'The Strange Colour ofYour Body's Tears', while last year they composed part of the score and end
credit theme for the drama series 'The Last Panthers'. The duo have performed live at Sonar,
Unsound, Primavera, ATP, Mutek, Norberg, Roskilde and Semibreve festivals as well as alongside an exclusive orchestral setting at Norrlands Opera.
Compared to the epic, sweeping compositions of the duo's earlier records, Born To Ruin is stripped to the bone - a collection of concise, sharply evocative, jazz-infused music that's more smoky
basement than orchestral hall.
Following the stately orchestral explorations of 2014's Until Silence, the music here is lithe, hollow and furious, evoking a fractured world of economic and political instability.
