progressive and trance-licked house anthems, §awlessly
bouncing between lucid melodics and driving atmospherics.

It has been a little over a year since the release of 747's debut album, in which the Canadian masterfully drew notes of inspiration from the 90s to create an enchanting hour-long dream. In his first EP since, 747 returns from a temporal leap, bringing with him a blend of sounds and expressions to forge a timeless trip which hinges on the sounds of the 303.

Opening the release, "you,you" unfolds with a gentle and shimmery padded ambiance of anticipation. Gentle and light-footed percussion is soon interrupted by a dramatic siren, a warning beacon. Frenetic energy ensues, a frantic rush to the floor met with a cloudy head. Encompassed in an envelope of disorienting wailing and intermittent buzzing, but finally grounded by the familiarity of a 4/4 bass drum.

"Does Anybody Remember Laughter?" steps in to relinquish the force of gravity. The animated arpeggio and gleaming singing acid line rise up, uncovering the kaleidoscopic nature of the structural surroundings.

"While My 303 Gently Weeps" divulges further, exposing an underlying grid of dark geometry - binary and robotic. The topology of surfaces becomes increasingly fractalized, until the solo overtakes with a somber sadness. The 303 notes guide the mind on a melancholic and meditative walk along the grand staff, met after the break with a sense of hope and serenity.

To close, "You Missed the Starting Gun" recounts the journey through a twisting mesh of thoughts: sorrow and actualization. A calming hypnotic presence is felt. Stability ensues - an afterglow.

Naone debuts on UTTU! Channeling her sounds towards dreamy and cosmic elements that allow her to daydream or space out but still keeping the fun of the dancefloor. A follow-up to recent collaboration EP "Separate Ways" with S.O.N.S., her first solo release takes you on a journey of tracks influenced by progressive trance, techno and downtempo, with emotional synth and 303 acid lines filling out space. Including the remix by Bliss Inc and a special collaboration with Denial.

Turbo Recordings is humbled to present this lovingly rendered reissue of Neutron 9000’s lost ambient trance classic. Composed and recorded at London’s Orinoco Studios in 1994 by Dominic Woosey, Lady Burning Sky was originally released on the legendary UK label Rising High.

Carefully remastered by Bo Kondren from the original master DATs and spread over three 140g vinyl discs, housed in a beautiful gatefold sleeve with liner notes from Tiga and Neutron 9000 narrating the story of how this beautiful record came about.

After more than 5 years in the techno scene as an organizer, label, and agency, RAW is launching their first vinyl compilation including 16 original tracks from a well-curated list of top producers. The release features several early label contributors as I Hate Models, Under Black Helmet or Hadone with respected and inspirational artists as Perc, Somniac One, Thomas P. Heckmann, or Clouds to name a few.

Entitled Gemstones, this V/A is divided into 4 colored vinyls representing precious stones, promoting a hard and harsh sound from industrial to emotional techno stompers.

After making a name for itself through acclaimed reissues of forgotten gems, Lyon’s Tunnel Vision Records is back, this time with a previously unreleased cult EP from the Serbian underground: InnVision’s Lake produced by Welljam aka Velja Mijanović, one of the pioneers of electronic music in Serbia and host of the legendary “Liquid” show on Yu Radio.

While it is fairly common these days for tracks to reach cult status after being uploaded to Youtube and picked up by its recommendation algorithm, the story of the Lake EP is truly unique.

Picture this: it’s the summer of 94 in Serbia and despite US sanctions, something was going on in the country’s musical underground with open-air parties on lakesides and other natural locations, fuelled by a feeling of freedom and creativity. At the time, InnVision was a 26-year-old producer inspired by the likes of The Orb, Brian Eno, Underworld, and Spooky. Unconcerned with adhering to trends or finding ways to make commercially-viable music, he created the tracks on this EP with Cubase running on an Atari computer and several synths fairly common at the time.

But the result was beyond anything common or ordinary. Described by its creator as “organic (ambient) house, but you can call it trance”, LAKE is rapture in its highest form. Pure enthusiasm seems to be driving this uplifting track, with an abundance of heavenly arpeggios and positive energy, along with masterful arrangements that make it even more grandiose, while retaining a light and dreamy quality (perhaps it is no coincidence that Lake in Serbian evokes weightlessness). It is one of those rare tracks that have a deep impact on body, mind, and soul and for which the repeat button was created. While adhering to a central theme, it never feels stale and this is explained by the fact that it was arranged live, with InnVision muting and tweaking everything in one go, which makes this track a “deskmix”, to use dub terminology. In fact, the producer remembers jumping around and shedding occasional tears while he recorded the final take.

On the flipside is another previously unreleased track, the forward-thinking NIGHTY. By no means filler, this is a timeless track with a subaquatic feel. With lush pads and elements doused in delay and reverb, you’d think this is a purely ambient cut, but it’s much more than that. Subtle melodic and rhythmic elements are engaged in a dialogue, and distant breakbeat samples can be detected in the background, enough to induce movement but never overtaking the vibe carefully created by InnVision. The result is a track that is at the same time featherlight and impossible to listen to without some sort of movement. Once again, truly unique music that transcends time and place.

We welcome to the Kompakt family one of our local Cologne heroes, "Jonathan Kaspar". We’ve appreciated him from afar for some time now thanks to his releases on Crosstown Rebels, Pets Recordings, Ouie and of course our own KX imprint. His single “Renard” was a highlight of our recently released TOTAL 19 collection, so it was time to make our relationship official with a 4 track EP.

Opener “Kern” leads with layers of melodic synths power charged around a playful house rhythm. For the digital release he offers up a Percussion Edit that is intended to bring more depth to the charge. “Zentrum” is for that peak time pace … elevating melodies caress a swelling mid-tempo beat. Not to mention one of the biggest breakdown’s we’ve had the pleasure to release in some time.

We move to “Licht” which literally sounds like it soars, then back to earth comes “Kante” – the most techno inspired track of the EP – an oscillating synth rips through solid low end bass frequencies – with Jonathan Kaspar skillfully demonstrating prime time, peak and valley production. “Kante EP” brings out his emotive, high energy style of writing and producing in a means that could be pointed to as his best work to date.

Repress of this club classic from 1998!

“Get ready to get into the “earthshaketrance”. With his background in jazz music, Kancheli shows a finely attuned feel for rhythm. Trance leaning tunes on the A side tickle your dancing soles, making them peak time material. Playing with emotive evocations of hope, this is music to transcend to. The B side strikes a darker chord, with Kancheli using acid synths and combining them with vocals reminiscent of wave. The release finishes on a remix by Volruptus. All in all, the well-crafted first solo release of a dance floor favourite.”

On behalf of rediscovery records, it is with great excitement that we announce the Hyaline EP Extended by Human Mesh Dance. New York native and multi-talented media artist Taylor Deupree, was the man behind this electronic act. Taylor was a fixture in the Northeastern American electronic music scene in so many ways. From art design for Instinct Records entire first decade of discography to being a part of legendary live acid techno act Prototype 909. He was also one half of the highly regarded Seti ambient project and by the late 1990’s thru today, he has run 12k records to over 100+ ambient releases from artists around the world. rediscovery focuses in on his debut Hyaline EP from 1993 from early on in his career (which we added 2 additional Human Mesh Dance tracks never on vinyl). A post-rave audio glimpse into the bedroom sound of the Aquasphere; Taylor’s home studio that helped give birth to the sound of Instinct Ambient. Chill out on the verge of the new millennium. Spacey melodics, futuristic visions and sci-fi themes were the inspiration for a new brand of deeper sounds that challenged listeners on couches instead of warehouses. The analogue verging on a digital sunrise having some re-define their definition of ‘what is trance?

We are proud to present the third cooperation between Armada Music and Music on Vinyl. The 2-LP release of the great second album of Armin Van Buuren, Shivers, including the successful singles “Shivers” (featuring Susana) and “Serenity” (featuring Jan Vayne).

The fourth times voted number 1 DJ in the world (DJ Mag Top 100) was awarded tons of times for his influence in the trance music scene, and this album proves exactly why.

German veteran Marc Romboy is back on André Hommen’s ​These Eyes imprint with a stellar two track release entitled ​Elka, ​showcasing Marc’s effortless ability to portray alluring and emotive characteristics through music​. ​This offering follows up from ​Trapped In An Orbit​, which he released on the label in 2017 and remains a label highlight to this day.

The title track ​Elka provides a stirring and suspenseful journey that plays out as it’s melodies unfold over a bassline that pulses gently and impels the listener. ​Unreal Sun ​ups the energy with a groove thats ready to fall into and chords that lead the way, dictating the pace as their intensity undulates.

It is a point to be made that the A side to this release is one of Marc’s personal favourites to date and it is clear to see why.

This record took a while to be finished but we're glad to finally release this beautiful EP from Matthew. The title track ‚Heimreise‘ has already been around a few years ago but never got to be released officially due to the vocal sample. After speaking to Matthew he sent us the track and we used it in our Cercle set last year which gave the track a second life and lots of people were asking for an official release. After lengthy negotiations the sample could be cleared and licensed and we finally finished the EP. We worked on a remix for ‚Heimreise' what turned out to be quite a challenge but after all we could wrap it up right before deadline and the whole record was ultimately done and set to release.

These two originals need no big introduction or explanation. ‚Heimreise' and 'Random Dub Fix' are wonderful displays of Matthews Dekay’s ability to create such hypnotic grooves that almost put you in a state of meditation. We still have so much fun playing these out that we really think this is a timeless piece of music. Thank you all for the patience, we’re happy that ‚Heimreise' found its forever home with Siamese.

Following up his debut release on SOEX, Whitvoir welcomes local Warrandyte producer Jon Jones to the label launch with ‘Airflow.’ A four track expedition through the environments that we call home in Australia, native birds and wildlife simulate a listening experience similar to that of a day spent in God’s country. Organic, ‘Outback Trance’ produced to suit all listening environments around the globe.

Mystic jungle is a percussive journey that transports you straight to the bush, suiting barefoot groovers warming up for the day. Dubbed out 80s synths paired with organic percussions bring a tribal feel grabbing attention with spaced out native bird calls. Mystic Jungle’s solid groove and big chuggy bass lines are guaranteed to have you in an ‘Australiana’ dream trance like state.

Transupial brings an airy tribal groove, choppy and boppy with a wubby 303 that keeps the track moving along. Pitched kalimbas bring a quirky flavour which gets deep and dystopian as the track progresses. ‘Totally Wild.’ The title track ‘Airflow’ is a captivating atmospheric journey through space, delicate deep and dubby suited for dancefloors around the globe. Rolling breaks, natural percussion paired with a chuggy 303 bass line and pan flute from an 80s Roland Synth capture a new flavour of Australian dance music.

Phantom spirit picks up the pace encouraging the ones and twos, washy hats, rolling kicks and 80s toms sprinkled throughout bring character to Jone’s production. Trancey synth lines with airy vocals bring the spirit of the phantom to life, paired with a wavy 303 line keeping the track ever-evolving. One to keep your ear out for at festivals around the world over the coming seasons.

To understand where 'The Attic' came from, we have to go back to one of my oldest memories: watching Der Phantastische Film on German tv. The movies that left the deepest marks on me were the ones that zoomed in on the possible bad sides of technology and predicted the downfall of mankind. A next personal cornerstone was Tubeway Army's 'Are 'friends' electric', from 1979: it was the first time I was blown away by the sound of synths. It felt so new, an expression of the perversity of technology through music. The song was about androids who seduced humans in order to rape them. The shortcomings of human beings transported to technology. It was machines turning against humanity. It wasn't like Kraftwerk who were very first degree, unpersonal and too clean.

I was an early adopter of home computers, but the instruments and studio stuff to make music were still out of my reach in the early eighties. So when sampling came along, for me it was not only an important change in sound image, but it opened up all these possibilities too. And then finally, in the mid-eighties - I was working in the military - people started selling their hardware to make the switch to digital. I bought loads of old gear and started experimenting with sound. It was around the time when the whole new beat thing exploded in Belgium. I despised it. To me they were yuppies with smileys plundering a subculture, shitting out one bland record after another... At the time I was listening to B-2 Unit by Sakamoto, or the weird electropop of YMO. That's probably where my idea of techno was shaped: this idea of electronics mixed with the German Bauhaus school, or with abstract Malevich paintings.

I quit the army around 1990, and shortly thereafter I had a dark dream that caused me to make 'The Attic'. I was in the attic of a house. It felt magical, but there was a sense of underlying danger. I looked up and the roof came off and started to dissolve, and I heard voices with bird like frequencies calling from the cosmos: 'come with us, come with us.' Maybe it was about the deification of technology Anyway, the image and the feeling of the dream were so vivid I transcribed them to music in maybe two days.

When the demo was finished, we went straight to Boccaccio and handed it to Olivier Pieters, who immediately played it. 'The Attic' went on to become one of the signature songs for which they switched on the big lasers. It started to live its own life: I heard it in shopping streets in Amsterdam, it was blazing from cars, it was huge in Germany after the wall fell, etc.

I quickly realized the music business wasn't something for me though: all these people with their profiling urge, the bootlegs, the fact that music got pushed into formats ... In retrospect, I was part of a scene without really taking part in it.

Mike Dierickx's Push guise is a world-renowned name in the many facets of dance music, particularly within the trance genre. Since 1994 this guy has been putting out top quality sounds, from Acid Hysteria to Da Story. 1998 was the breakthrough year in many respects, it was the year that Universal Nation was born, the rest is history. Surprisingly - for an artist who had been around for a long time - his first album didn't arrive until 2000. The first album from Push was From Beyond, this one was full of already established hits as well as new material from the trance maestro himself. The mighty Universal Nation, Travelogue, Strange World, The Legacy and more. So, we’ve decided to give this one a fresh release as a 12” vinyl sampler containing three choice cuts, Till We Meet Again, Tranzy State Of Mind and Cosmonautica. Check this one out and discover Mike's melodic touches and driving trance grooves.

One the A-side we have a brand-new bonus track titled, Elegance. A real dynamic, charging uplifter with nostalgic qualities. True fans and proper trance enthusiasts will love this one. Full, chunky kick drums lead us out as a chugging bassline is joined by huge synth stabs, fashioned into pleasurable melodies with that distinct Push sound. The break builds nicely, getting the hands in the air, waiting for the oncoming climax which does not disappoint.

Joining Elegance on the A-side, we have Tranzy State Of Mind, an epic, full on trance mover. A typical Push production with cascading melodies that send shivers down your spine. The chugging bassline and solid beats drew you in, infecting the mind while the euphoria kicked in thanks to those sublime synths.

On the flip side in the B1 slot we have a special tribute Mike wrote for his friend and colleague, Stephano Marino. Till We Meet Again is a dynamic and emotionally charged slice of trance. Full of energy and drive, this one remains one of the best trance records ever made.

In the B2 position, Cosmonautica resides, taking us on a slightly different path. The intro is non-descript with a muted kick and soft melody. Sharper synths and twisted percussions come through before a rolling bassline takes over. The track builds and builds into a powerful trance groove, full of emotion and drive.

Psy-fi Sounds Vol.1 is a compilation featuring collaborations with several artists from Canada and beyond. Influences span the history of electronic music and focus on Progressive House, Trance, Techno and Ambient. Each track will take you on a journey through the thoughts, feelings and experiences of the song writer

Have you ever experienced a sense of futility - we’ve all be through it at one point. Struggling for that new vital idea or solution to move forward?

We all have a tremendous reservoir of mental power waiting to be called forth. Its lies just beyond our surface thoughts, behind our thinking mind.

Inside the following material may lie the very answer you need to bring forth those thoughts and visions.

Both sides provide you with an experience like never before. Each side inspires and revitalizes. You’ll hear suggestions, affirmations, and a very real sense to “order your subconscious”. So listen again and again, share with friends and loved ones, as our inner strength grows, allowing the subconscious to WORK FOR YOU.

And remember, tru meditation is not idle thinking - or mere concentration which ties the mind to a fixed idea. It is a technique that opens channels to the full power of the mind and realization of self. Remember, you are IN FULL CONTROL.

KURU IS THE FIRST ALBUM COMPOSED BY THE COLLABORATIVE PROJECT KARU, AND ORCHESTRATED BY THE MULTI-INSTRUMENTALIST ALBERTO BRUTTI. HE DELVES INTO HIS PASSIONS FOR TRIBAL CULTURE, JAZZ AND ELECTRONIC PRODUCTION COMBINING THEM IN A WORK THAT IS IN EQUAL PARTS UPLIFTING AND SOMBER. THE ALBUM STARTS OFF WITH SELVA, WHICH UNFOLDS WITH ITS MYSTIC CHANTS AND A WARM SAX PAVING THE WAY FOR A SHIMMERING TRACK PUNCTUATED BY THE POLYMORPHIC PULSE OF THE DOUBLE BASS. THE HYPNOTIC CRESCENDO MELTS INTO THE SPACIOUS SERENITY OF UPYA, THE SINGLE EXTRACTED FROM KURU; TO CLOSE THE A SIDE, ZALIWA FEAT DAYKODA, WHICH SETS A VIVID FOREGROUND GROOVE AND BLENDS THE EDGES BETWEEN HIP HOP PRODUCTION AND JAZZ. ON THE B SIDE, KARU GO INTO DARKER EXCURSIONS; KENZO AND ROOT TURN UP THE BASS PRESSURE SOFTLY GUIDED BY THE GLOWING SAX, THAT STILL FEELS DISTORTED AMONG THE TRIBAL RHYTHMS AND VOICES. LIKE A WISTFUL SUNSET IN A DESERT, KURU CASTS A DELICATE NOSTALGIC MOOD THAT CALLS FOR PEACE AFTER THE STORM. THE ALBUM FEELS INTENSELY HUMAN, SOPHISTICATED AND EVENTUALLY PLAYFUL THANKS TO THE GUEST APPARITION OF THE ARTIST AND DJ GUEDRA GUEDRA WHO DELIVERS A BOUNCY FOOTWORK REMIX OF UPYA, THAT SHINES WITH ENERGY AND LOOPY SAMPLES WITHOUT MESSING WITH THE ELEGANCE OF THE TRACK.

Following DJ LOSERs output on labels like VEYL, PUPPY TAPES or Clan Destine Records is Stealth Hope. A blend of various styles and genres, Stealth Hope showcases the wide range and potential of the Greek artist who is destined for big things to come.
