Symbiosis III
SERA J, ANNĒ
ANNĒ and Sera J close their Symbiosis series on Mutual Rytm with third and most refined EP yet. This final chapter reflects everything the collaboration has stood for across a trio of inventive techno releases on SHDWs imprint. Creative and life partners ANNĒ and Sera J have been two voices growing in parallel, evolving separately but moving with the same pulse. ANNĒ is well established thanks to standout EPs on the likes of Soma and Hardgroove, while Sera J has released on the likes of Life in Patterns and Renegade Methodz, and both have featured on Mutual Rytms Federation Of Rytm series before now. Symbiosis III is the moment where everything comes full circle: the culmination of a journey built on respect, creativity, and the freedom to explore their own paths while lifting each other forward. Sera J kicks off with Ransomware, a commanding and driving techno cut lit up with flashy synths but always moving with urgency. Phosphate keeps the energy levels high with stripped-back drums and bass designed to perfection, while Anthrax has an anxious edge. The synths are wispy but evocative as bass kills and swiping filters bring the drama. ANNĒ then ups the ante with the acid-tinged Dementia, which is loopy and unrelenting before A Taste of a Real Woman gets more seductive with a sultry spoken word and sustained chords that bring the paranoia. Heart Rate is propulsive with Detroit-style synth soul and an aching vocal, before Sera J returns with On the Run - a percussive, trippy and eerie roller. His final Cut Similar Minds has a searching synth surveying a desolate landscape, before ANNĒ then closes the EP with the punchy drum patterns and icy hi hats of Primal Howl Of Ego and a blend of deep drums and evocative synth work on the Analog Heartbeat - which proves potent techno can be beautiful.

Plastic Skin EP
LUCRE
Plastic Skin examines synthetic bodies and conditioned desire. Design over instinct. The title track Plastic Skin is rigid and physical, built from pressure and restraint, polished exterior, internal tension. Designed To Be Liked reduces identity to approval. Mechanical rhythm. Detached motion. Two tracks. No softness.

Soul Sonic Force EP
Robert Hood
Blistering, adrenaline-charged Techno EP from the minimal master. Robert Hoods minimalist approach helped define Technos evolution in the early 1990s, as hes continued to push a stripped-down, hypnotic sound. His solo work, marked by precise drum programming and deep grooves, has become hugely influential across modern Techno. While he continues to innovate through projects like Floorplan (with daughter, Lyric) here he returns to his roots on the Soul Sonic Force EP. From A-side opener Insurrection that blends a tough peak-time Techno sound with sweeping strings, to the reverberating tonal Black Ops. Then flip to the AA-side for the relentless pared down groove of Soul Protector, before Warfare with its layered precision. This is classic Hood in action; unparalleled.

Darklove
Hertz
Its been a steady flow of Hertz releases lately, and the support from fans and DJs has never been greater! The time has finally come to drop Darklove, a track thats been fine-tuned over four years, and one thats been tearing up dancefloors in every Hertz set. Next up is Sweat, another high-impact weapon packed with energy: a raw synth line combined with a perfectly placed vocal snippet that does the trick. Finally, Beat Bunker delivers a fat, haunting bassline to close things out. Another strong EP coming your way from your favourite techno label, SWAY.

Coalescence EP
Rene Wise, Ignez, Claudio PRC, Luigi Tozzi
With Coalescence, The Third Room brings together artists from distinct yet interconnected techno lineages, united by a shared understanding of the music as both physical and introspective. Rather than staging contrasts, the EP focuses on convergence, where propulsion, atmosphere and restraint fold into a coherent whole. Rene Wise & Ignez open the release with Anjos, pairing Wises tactile, percussive pressure with Ignezs expansive, oceanic pads. The result sits at the intersection of functional drive and elevated, almost devotional space, reflecting a new generations approach to techno as both tool and inner landscape. Norbaks remix draws the track further inward, deepening its hypnotic pull and extending its energy into a more meditative, slow-burning form. On the B-side, Claudio PRC & Luigi Tozzi present Onirica, a deeply restrained and immersive composition rooted in atmosphere, spatial detail and subtle psychedelia. Unfolding with patience, it rewards attentive listening and long-form dancefloor contexts. Markus Suckut closes the EP by reducing Onirica to its bare essentials, applying his signature economy and precision to heighten tension and focus. Coalescence reflects The Third Rooms vision of techno as a shared terrain, where different voices and generations meet, align and quietly reinforce one another.

Zeta EP
Pfirter, Oliver Rosemann
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.-

NEOCLASH
DJ Hell, Donner Summer, Mr. G
NEOCLASH is DJ Hells new work. The Electroclash of the early 2000s is reconstructed here, its characteristic codes extracted and reshaped into a modern, reflective form. NEOCLASH is a cultural experiment - music as a medium of reflection, a structure for space and time, and a vehicle for exploring the tensions between technology, the body, and perception. Electroclash now - or a manifesto for the aesthetic relevance of electronic club music, combining strong old-school references with a new understanding. DJ Hell, a.k.a. Helmut Josef Geier, delivers a contemporary reinterpretation of the Electroclash genre. International Deejay Gigolo Records was the pulse of the movement 25 years ago - and Hell, its very namesake. Godfather of Electroclash reloaded. 25 years and many milestones later, DJ Hell returns to his roots with NEOCLASH, proving that Electroclash in 2025 can sound not nostalgic, but forward-thinking and visionary. NEOCLASH builds a bridge between past and present within electronic dance culture and club music. Italo Disco, New Wave, Indie Dance, Disco, Pop, Chicago House, Acid, Detroit Techno, and Avantgarde Music merge here into a bold new interpretation.

KYSH-001
Glaskin, KYSH Records, IGLO, Sicion, Yanamaste, Sept
Like the evershifting sound, KYSH is never standing still. After eight digital releases, the time has come to introduce our style to the techno vinyl market. Five powerful gems from five titans in the present day scene. Theyre well established, yet fresh in their approach to sound and dancefloor spark. From aquatic, bleepy grooves delivered by the Munich duo Glaskin, through perfectly deep, enigmatic cut by the talented IGLO, playful minimalism of our French brother Sicion, then rich and pacey firecracker from the Georgian temper Yanamaste, to the label regular, our own Sept, with an epic finale full of tension and poignant chords. This is our statement of quality and timelessness - a material that we are more than proud to press onto vinyl to prolong its resonance. Vital and elegant techno expressing the dance-like power of maximalism through minimalism.

SHDW presents Federation Of Rytm IV: a bumper 30-track collection spanning the past, present, and future of techno. Offering powerful standalone club cuts and a cohesive deep-dive, the expansive VA lands on 24th October 2025. The fourth edition of SHDWs flagship Federation Of Rytm VA series has been carefully curated by the DJ/producer and head honcho over more than a year, with close attention to detail given to sequencing. It is a balance of label regulars and debutants that represents the past, present, and future, both sonically and through the generational diversity of the artists involved. There are plenty of surprises along the way while always remaining true to the Mutual Rytm ethos and reflecting the journey of the night from start to finish, whether thats in intimate, sweaty clubs or on big festival stages. Ive lived with most of these tracks for over a year, testing them on the dancefloor and fine-tuning the selection. Each comes from artists I deeply admire, making this compilation a snapshot of the labels evolution and a glimpse of whats next. Federation Of Rytm IV celebrates connection across generations, while capturing the sounds that inspire me most — telling a story from start to finish. – SHDW. Across 30 tracks in the digital collection and 24 on four sides of wax, the release explores the full breadth of the Mutual Rytm sound. Driving grooves and relentless percussion set the pace, gradually unfolding into hypnotic and atmospheric passages that invite deeper immersion. Pulsating low-end power alternates with eerie minimalism, while bursts of futuristic energy and cavernous kick drums keep the tension high. Elsewhere, dub textures and moments of introspection provide balance, creating a narrative arc that moves fluidly between intensity and release, atmosphere and tension, darkness and light.
