A lone traveler steps through the rift, crossing the threshold between past and future. Time is not a river here—it is a labyrinth, twisting upon itself, revealing forgotten empires and civilizations yet to rise. The ruins before him speak of lost ages, their foundations shifting as if resisting the passage of history. Each step is a gamble, for the next gateway may lead to glory or oblivion. Somewhere, in the endless corridors of time, the answer awaits—if he dares to find it. The journey beckons. Will you follow? SLUG returns to VISION SERPENT with four distinct cuts that showcase his evolving sonic identity. THE PROCESS kicks things off with crisp percussive shots and razor-sharp detailing. ESTRANGED follows with an infectious groove and a low-end that refuses to sit still. TIME TRAVELLER turns inward, a brooding piece that simmers with tension beneath the surface. Closing the EP, WHITE LIGHT delivers mind-warping buildups, bending perception right before the fall.
Codex Recordings embarks on a celestial journey with its latest high-velocity offering: Andromeda, a collaborative powerhouse from Andres Koller and Lautaro Gabioud. Andromeda is a stellar example of peak-time techno, where interstellar atmospheres meet relentless ground-level energy. The track is propelled by a massive, rolling bassline and crisp, driving percussion that creates an unstoppable sense of momentum. As the arrangement unfolds, the duo weaves in shimmering synth sequences and expansive, cosmic textures that transport the listener to the far reaches of the dancefloor galaxy. Blending technical precision with an emotive edge, Andres Koller and Lautaro Gabioud have crafted a peak-time weapon that feels both epic and intimate. Engineered for maximum impact, Andromeda is a sonic supernova designed to illuminate the darkest warehouse spaces.
Demon Noise makes his EXTIMA debut with Show Me, a tightly focused EP that captures his evolution into a sharp, floor-driven peak-time sound while leaving zero room for excess. The Original Mix is a straight-to-the-point minimal / peak-time weapon. From the opening bars, the track locks into a super-fat rolling bassline and punchy, tightly programmed drums that immediately establish momentum. Dark, twisted vocal snippets sit low in the mix, adding tension without ever pulling attention away from the groove. The arrangement is deliberately efficient—every element serves the dancefloor. A relentless forward motion makes Show Me a true DJ tool built for peak hours. On remix duties, Zafer Atabey pushes the track firmly into pure peak-time techno territory. His version strips away any remaining restraint, opting for an old-school-inspired arrangement philosophy: no big breaks, only continuous buildups and drops designed to keep the energy permanently elevated. The drums hit harder, the low-end rolls deeper, and the groove becomes even more aggressive. By twisting and re-shaping the vocal melodies, Zafer introduces a fresh character that feels familiar yet distinctly reimagined—transforming the original into a darker, more driving beast. Together, the two versions form a compact but powerful EP that showcases Demon Noises precision as a producer and EXTIMAs commitment to uncompromising, dancefloor-ready techno. Show Me doesnt try to over-explain itself—it simply delivers raw energy, heavy groove, and maximum impact, exactly where it matters most: the club.

The hook is undeniable, emotional and commanding, turning the dancefloor into a moment of collective surrender. Dark yet euphoric, mechanical yet human, Age Of The Machines captures that peak moment of the night when time dissolves and only sound remains.

With Kuukou, Simina Grigoriu has laid out highly fertile soil from which countless artists from all around the globe have flourished - all coming together through a shared love of richly emotive and highly functional Techno. Next up - she steps back in herself, making her return home with a cut that typifies the labels ethos: a smart, lean sound brimming with masterfully measured energy. A raw, tribal groove unfolds with pattering drum skins and a tight, choked hi hat. Polyrhythms stack as the tension gradually ladders. Vocals ring out and the mood is set - tactile, mobile and seductive. Subaqueous synths colour the mid range with mystery, while each individual element nestles in a carefully carved space which gives the track intense, unfathomable depth. A faintly lick of dub runs through the work and what unfolds is a deep well of sound - a vortex in which ravers can lose themselves entirely.
