Laurent Garnier presents a COD3 QR family reunion for the next digital release, featuring new tracks by Works Of Intent, Jules Wells, Marco Bailey, Madben, Lois (fr), Kmyle and Electric Rescue (with ABD Al Malik feat. Gaspar Claus) who will also be dropping an artist album on COD3 QR later this year. The made in England mix-engineer-designer-essayist, activist and project manager of DAYTIMERS, Works Of Intent's productions are rooted in the UK underground but dripping in techno and pop sensibilities. He's found a home on labels like Monkeytown, Turbo, Rekids and COD3 QR. He gets the ball rolling here with the deep and atmospheric builder, "Black Ribbon". Influenced by the Motor City, Jules Wells has released on several respected Detroit labels like Electrofunk, Submerge, Twilight 76, KMS and Planet E, but also on the likes of Brique Rouge, Purebox and Logos. Most notably his track "Song4Clara" on KMS, which inspired Laurent Garnier's "Enchante". He now returns to COD3 QR with the grooving "Hey!!". A luminary figure in global techno, Belgian DJ, producer and label owner (Materia, MB Elektronics, Elektronik Zoo Sounds, Fundaments Ltd), Marco Bailey boasts a career that has spanned over three decades. Beginning in the early '90s, his tracks have also appeared on the likes of Intec, Bedrock and Cocoon. Now he delivers the dark, breaks-led "Dust on my Soul". Born in the North of France, Madben has retained a taste for DIY culture and a nickname that comes direct from the warehouse. The Lille resident has been "living" techno since his emergence in the scene, going on to release on labels like Astropolis Records, Ellum Audio, Skryptom, Obscura, Mobilee, EPM Music and COD3 QR. On "Antigravity" he brings some subterranean Electro-tech to the release. Lois (FR), who has also produced under the name Lois Plugged, is a sound engineer (Intelligent Design), label owner (Wefine) and music producer who has released on labels including Trax, Boxon, Wefine, BombStrikes, Sony and COD3 QR, becoming one of the key players in the Bordeaux electronic scene. The epic and textural "Danza" is his latest contribution to COD3 QR. Kmyle is synonymous with boundless audible exploration who seamlessly blends magnetic techno, hypnotic rhythms and ethereal melodies like his new COD3 QR offering "Attrape-reves". Other labels such as Soma, Mord and Skryptom have placed their unwavering trust in his musical prowess, and in 2020 he launched his own Kmyle Records. French producer, DJ and live artist, Electric Rescue is world renowned. His productions have been signed on labels like Cocoon, Virgo, Arts, F Communications, COD3 QR, Soma, Sci + Tec, Boys Noize and his own Skryptom. Here he teams up with French rapper and spoken word artist, ABD Al Malik (from N.A.P.) and cellist, Gaspar Claus for "les demons periodiques", the first track taken from his forthcoming artist album, due for release on COD3 QR in October.

With Zera, Len Faki returns to Figure with a tightly focused EP that moves between raw, driving functionality and more open, atmospheric moments. Across five tracks, he explores variations in groove, tone and energy, balancing direct, floor-ready structures with a more fluid and spacious approach. Opening cut Maschine Girl locks into a restless, forward-driving groove. Crisp percussion and a tightly coiled low end create immediate momentum, while sharp synth fragments and metallic accents add a nervous edge. The track stays stripped and efficient, letting its steady build and controlled tension carry the energy. Kobold follows with a darker and more twisted tone. Warped synth figures weave through a heavy rhythmic backbone, giving the track a slightly mischievous character while maintaining a firm, heads-down drive. The interplay between tonal movement and grounded percussion keeps the groove dynamic without breaking its focus. Closing the A-side, Maschine Girl (Version) revisits the opener from a different angle. Elements are tightened and subtly rebalanced, shifting the emphasis further toward rhythm and direct impact. More reduced and tool-like in nature, it pushes the groove forward with a sharper, club-ready feel. On the flip, Zera unfolds with a broader sense of space. Hypnotic synth movement and layered atmospheres sit atop a firm low-end framework, gradually building intensity while maintaining a deep, immersive flow. The track thrives on its slow development, drawing the listener further into its evolving structure. Rounding out the release, Zera (Hardspace Mix) reimagines the original with a heavier, more physical approach. The groove becomes more pronounced and the rhythmic pressure more direct, tightening the structure into a denser, floor-driven tool that emphasises impact and propulsion. With Zera, Len Faki delivers a cohesive and wide-ranging release that connects raw, driving tools with more expansive, early morning-leaning grooves further reflecting the breadth and versatility that has defined his output in recent years.

Nein boss Tronik Youth teams up with Velax to produce three dark and brooding EBM tracks with Man2.0 and Disco Morato on remix duties

Following her debut EP on Hot Creations, Kristin Velvet keeps the momentum going with a new two-tracker, Get It Right / Fantasy Ecstasy, landing April 24 on Arms & Legs. Get It Right is a hypnotic club weapon built around a rolling bassline and captivating vocal snippets, primed for peak-time dancefloors while balancing groove and atmosphere with Velvet's trademark finesse. On the flip, Fantasy Ecstasy shifts into more electro-leaning territory - a crisp, characterful cut that showcases her versatility and refusal to be boxed into a predictable sonic lane. Together, the two tracks underline Kristin Velvet's ability to move fluidly between club-focused house and more adventurous electronic territory.

Premutation is the sixth digital release on Morsecode Records — a label whose name implies a language of signals and patterns — and it arrives as Sancho's most conceptually ambitious project to date. The title is a deliberate play on words: something that exists before mutation, before the transformation is complete, a state of pregnant potential. What unites the EP is a consistent philosophy: music as identity puzzle. The arrangements are cubist — presenting the same emotional idea from multiple angles simultaneously, letting the listener assemble meaning from fragments. A bassline that sounds like a question. A synth melody that answers it in a different direction. Percussion that ticks like a clock through a fog.

ElectroBreakz Private Label Group 2026

The twenty-first release from Electro Music Coalition is a deconstruction of familiar electro algorithms. In 'Morphing Reality EP,' the duo sin:it:sin and RSN abandon linear logic in favor of a more fluid, experimental architecture. The concept of the release is built around the idea of the mutability of matter. True to its name, the structure of the title track 'Morphing Reality' mutates and transforms in real time during playback, preventing the listener's mind from locking onto a familiar pattern. The same principle applies to the EP as a whole: the search for new forms and the rejection of standard frameworks become a systemic method of sound design. A layer of retro-futuristic aesthetics, referencing classic science fiction, serves as both an emotional and functional counterbalance to the experimentation. Here, drive is balanced by a deep atmosphere, giving the release a sense of dimension while maintaining a focus on a precise rhythmic structure. The sin:it:sin and RSN tandem constructs a process in which deconstruction operates not against form, but within it-imbuing the release with a sense of simulated depth, where any structure becomes merely a variable in the hands of the Architect.

HLRTY, Pineapple's Prince of Palermo, returns to the label with a VERY extended player, the Fionda EP. Building on the foundations laid by last year's GANZO EP, Fionda sees Francesco stretch his wings and continue to stake a claim as one of the most interesting and innovative producers working in the as-yet undefined space between Club, Electro, Techno and Bass. Across a full seven tracks, including another collaboration with label-affiliate Coido, we can see the scope of HLRTY's ambition really start to take shape, with thrilling results. Btw - his 'GANZOLATOR' edit got a big play recently at the Fred Again NY show, courtesy of Dr Jeep… 'Slingshooters' kicks the project off, and while it initially feels like a continuation of the stripped-back, tuff 150bpm Club vibes of 'Bitch Mode', but a surprisingly melodic breakdown leads into a deeper, more rolling second drop… Before we turn back to the tuff to close things out. 'Willigo', alongside fellow Italian new-generation dons Ethik and ETN ETN, shows a hitherto unexplored side of HLRTY's production, blending rolling house drums with lush synths, warped and heavily manipulated vocals, and emotional, almost electro synth stabs. A truly immersive listen, that still works incredibly well on the dancefloor. 'Ossimoro' takes things back to more familiar territory - tuff, club-focussed Electro. Some of the most polished production around manages to mix robotic vocals, distorted bass and punchy drums to create a guaranteed floor-shaker. 'Nutriko' brings things back up to the 150bpm range, acting almost as a continuation of 'Ossimoro'. Again taking a few elements - vocal chops, heavy bass, rolling acid - HLRTY expertly weaves them into something undeniably infectious and propulsive. '22222' sees HLRTY and Coido reunited, after their club banger 'Odiso' on the inaugural Fruit Salad Various Artists EP from the tail end of last year. Twisted techno grooves and creative distortion dominate the first half of the track, while another unexpected melodic breakdown sets up a full beat switch for the second half of the tune. Once again, the ambition extends beyond looping, copying and pasting… 'Scafazzato' (slang for a 'cheeky rascal') appears in two forms. The original expertly mixes elements of Techno, Club and Acid (and an expected piano-vamp outro) for what is becoming a HLRTY trademark blend of flavours, while the 'Dark Mix' takes things deeper - but still tuff and Club-infused.

A defining statement of intent, Dynamics Of Acid features 9 tracks of retro-futurist electronic music - melodic, atmospheric, and laced with acid lines and rolling breakbeats. Spanning material recorded over seven years, the album captures MOYs unique fusion of classic rave textures with forward-thinking production.

"CEERS (Paul Begge Remix)" pushes the original into full peak‑time territory, sharpening its cyber‑noir tension into something darker, heavier, and built for the heart of the night. Where the album version smolders, Paul Begge drives. A tight, chunky bass line anchors the track, rolling beneath industrial‑tinged percussion that slams with weight but remains surgically precise. Metallic hits, shadowy atmospheres, and pressure‑building risers weave through the mix, giving the remix a distinctly warehouse‑ready feel—modern, uplifting technoid, yet still deeply underground. The result is a remix engineered for maximum impact on focused dancefloors: dark, driving, and trance‑inducing, amplifying CEERS' futuristic edge into a powerful, industrial‑shaded weapon for late‑night sets.

The remix album Gesamtklärwerk Deutschland is a collaborative art and music project by Jonathan Meese and DJ Hell. It combines electronic club music with conceptual art and motifs drawn from cultural theory. From an academic perspective, the project can be understood as an interdisciplinary intersection of pop culture, performance art, and electronic music studies. Remix structures here function in a way similar to how they are described in media studies: existing sonic and semantic structures are deconstructed, recombined, and placed into altered contexts. The "treatment plant" (Klärwerk) motif can be interpreted metaphorically as a process of cultural filtering or purification, in which historical narratives, ideologies, and pop symbols are reprocessed. From a historical standpoint, the project draws on several traditions: - the avant-garde strategies of the Dada and Fluxus movements, which employed collage, provocation, and irony - the German electronic music tradition since the 1970s (e.g., experimental studio work and concept albums) - the club and remix culture of the 1990s and 2000s, in which DJs use existing works as raw material for new aesthetic forms Thus, the album is understood less as a conventional music release and more as a comprehensive artistic concept that raises questions about German cultural history, pop mythologies, and the role of remix as a cultural method.

We're Going Deep

Istanbul producer and DJ Ongun Tutuncu delivers a pair of inspiring cuts on the Munich label ZEN DNA. Tutuncu blends influences into a style distinctly his own, evident from the first bars of the opener, Made Out of Chrome. The piece probes transhumanist ideas with a wry edge. Driving rhythms and a forceful bass line yield to a refined, wistful melody that shifts moods through a precise arrangement. Crystal-clear structure, quantized sequences, and vocoders deliver electros hallmarks—yet infused with a sunlit Mediterranean emotional core. The follow-up, Kill 'Em, teams Tutuncu with fellow Turk Mert V., whose work spans shadowy experiments with punishing kicks and industrial textures alongside buoyant ghettotech. Their joint effort fuses breakbeats, hip-hop cadences, street vernacular, wobbling bass, and hybrid basslines carrying a ghettotech spirit. Epic builds, unpolished depth, hardcore edges, and stark emotional pivots create a genre mash-up that channels raw energy.

Slap It Records

When a friend who has been away from the scene for years reappears, with no external references, not trying to fit into anything, bringing tracks that strongly resonate with what you have been listening to, there is no doubt that this needs to be shared with the world. The second release from Trilha Bauru presents Pronolagus with four tracks that move between breakbeat, acid and minimal. Acid Trippin Rabbit, the title track of the EP, is a breakbeat that recalls the innocence and exploration of the formative years of rave culture. 3AM Lasagna tells the story of many music producers in their endless late night studio sessions. Predators Around brings a shift in energy to the EP with a more introspective sound. Closing the release, we present a remix by San Ferraz of the title track, taking it into a more minimal and progressive direction while maintaining the acid DNA, but from a different dancefloor perspective. Stay tuned for the next steps of this alien rabbit. Meanwhile, Trilha Bauru continues as a meeting route for those who seek groove without being bound by labels.
