MindTrip proudly celebrates its 100th release with Zeta, the sixth studio collaboration between label founder Pfirter and German artist Oliver Rosemann. Marking a new milestone in the labels journey, Zeta continues the exploration through the Greek alphabet with four powerful and finely detailed pieces that merge direct rhythmic energy with a synthesis that looks both to the past and the future of Techno. Each track unfolds with precision and purpose, revealing hypnotic layers and evolving tension — a clear reflection of the duos shared vision: intense, focused, and deeply immersive. This is MindTrip! - Cover image of the Rosette Nebula in HOO by Pfirter. The Rosette Nebula is a large, star-forming region located about 4,500 light-years away in the constellation Monoceros. This nebula is a stunning example of an emission nebula, where intense radiation from young, hot stars causes the surrounding gas to glow. The Hubble Palette, using Ha, OIII, and SII filters, brings out the intricate details of this cosmic cloud, showcasing its vibrant colors and complex structure.-

With a glorious flourish of melodious club abstraction, cult producer Quirke makes a welcome return by delivering his most upfront tracks to date for Dekmantel. Josh Quirke first came through on Young Turks (Young) and Whities (AD93) through the 2010s, offering a distinctive, slanted take on hardcore and house music alike that came shrouded in dense atmospherics and shot through with wistful melancholia. Comparisons to artists like Burial and Skee Mask werent unfounded, but Quirke was very much operating on his own terms, as he has continued to ever since. The last we heard from the low-key producer was his debut album Steal A Golden Hail, released on Whities in 2019, and now he comes through with a strong update to his sound that finds a natural home on Dekmantel. Its clear from the structural shifts in lead track Underdetermined that Quirke is operating free from the so-called rules of dance music, veering from a pure synth intro straight into the full peak of the track without so much as a warm-up. Placing emotionality ahead of functionality, Underdetermined manages to be every inch an anthem. The OT3 deals in denser percussive textures and haunted pads, with ample room for wistful sentimentality and a steady trucking kick. On Worth Variation, the array of blown-out elements are glued together into a dub techno pulse, where every atmospheric impulse feels like part of the groove. Ten Times Over Crystal Fruit completes the record across a grand sweep of narrative arrangement, shifting through phases and heavy layers of joyful noise. Its intense and delicate in equal measure, absolutely ready to move a mass of bodies but without ever deferring to the familiar. Quirke happily avoids engagement with the wider scene while making his truly individual music, but he himself admits he struck upon a dimension of his sound that could explore immediacy and impact without losing the subtle, smudged-out beauty inherent in his musical DNA.

A new year welcomes a new artist to watch on Float. Australia continues to be a fertile ground for emerging talent, and Sensor Systems is a standout among this new wave.

The release showcases a forward-thinking approach to techno, balancing energy with immersive sound design.

Checking back into Token with his unmistakable sound, Nørbaks Chuva delivers four relentless slices of modern techno. Stretching textures and grilling circuits, the EP presents itself as a statement expressing a high pressure dancefloor experience. A proper introduction is never far from the Portuguese artist who has consistently pulled inspiration from ambient and experimental music. With one minute of drone to seemingly guide the experience, a swift switch decidedly flexes Sonho. Bending pitch and texture is a big theme in Chuva and the A1 leaves nothing to the imagination as Nørbak makes his intentions as clear as ever. Switching to Leveza, the producer takes a minimalist approach with accents on the percussive arrangements. Whipping delays on off-beat drum hits create an unreal acoustic environment while maintaining a maximum amount of tension. The synth line remains insistent as rides and various hi hats urge the track into psychosis with every transition. The titletrack Chuva takes a similar approach in the power of warm sound design, but this time we see a focus on warped melodics that are blissfully mixed in a track constantly bordering on chaos. Opening and closing the space, Nørbak takes to detuning his main synthline to create eruptive sections in the record while brewing a storm of ambience in the stereo field. As the final chapter, Capa bends almost to a break. Rhythmically expressive in every way, the track drives the EP home with a dangerous bassline and dry percussion to ride off of it. Signing off for this latest contribution to Token records, Nørbaks flare in the studio reasserts his position as one of technos most anticipated creators of recent years.

With Void EP, Daryl Grant delivers a compelling fusion of groovy techno and deep dub aesthetics on Entourage Concept. The release balances driving rhythms with spacious, hypnotic textures, creating a sound that is both powerful on the dancefloor and immersive in atmosphere. Void EP showcases Grants refined production style, where tight grooves meet subtle, dub-infused details for a timeless and forward-thinking techno statement.

Eubo joins the Mood Supplier family with his latest EP.

pdqb, the producer, whose name sounds like a coded message, has surpassed the need for introduction. It emerged from nowhere, becoming omnipresent almost instantly, leaving every electronic music producer eager - if not obsessed - to work with it. Its original tracks are raw and elegant with warm synth lines, pulsing rhythms, and melodies that feel like echoes from forgotten futures. They always carry a strange magnetic pull. Presented here are eight stunning remixes of his already-released tracks. Each one its own universe, each one remarkable in its own way, each one crafted by an expert in their field. The eight pieces twist, stretch, break apart, and rebuild the originals. They mutate into technoid creatures, melodies dissolve into vapor, and rhythms reorganize themselves into something alien and alive, yet each still holds a faint spark of pdqbs DNA, buried beneath layers of transformation. Listeners will understand: this isnt just a remix album. It is an evolution - eight reinterpretations of the same musical core, each pushing pdqbs world into a new dimension.

Perc returns to Perc Trax after the success of his Soft Launch EP which was Perc Traxs biggest release of 2025 despite being released just a few months before the end of the year.The Microtrax EP is Perc at his most personal and intimate. 5 tracks composed in hotel rooms across Europe, the USA, Canada and South America and then taken to Percs London studio to be polished and mixed without losing the spontaneity and rawness that gives these tracks their grittiness and emotion.For the first time Perc features his own vocals on a release. Half spoken, half whispered phrases recorded at a low volume in the early hours of the morning to capture a particular moment in time, another sign that this EP sees Perc opening himself up more than ever before. From the string led opener See Yourself to the stripped back drum tool Morgan, which was a key element of Percs Section set late last year, to the constant downwards pull and organ stabs of Introspect this is new territory for Perc, as he goes deeper and more introspective than ever before whilst keeping his focus firmly on the dance floor as always.
