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.

Dario aka dxrvo dives into the deeper side of the label with four standout cuts. Carefully balanced and modulated, each track is crafted with focus and detail, making this a great addition to Groove Disorder. Mastered by Audiosculpture at Subterra, The Hague.

Kai Galactics latest EP, Obsessed, released on Oslated, features five original tracks defined by their distinct and individual character, along with two additional remixes by CTAFAD and Rainsoft. With deep immersion, gradually intensifying progressions, and melodic soundscapes, the EP weaves together diverse elements that draw the listener into a single, cohesive story. Obsessed carries the wish that listeners will be completely captivated and lose themselves in the music. It is our hope that this feeling resonates deeply within your heart.

Asymmetric head Inigo Kennedy returns to his label to kick off another year with a stunning five track EP Flux Rope. Title track Flux Rope opens the release with a solid 909 four-to-the-floor, heavy toms, fizzing hats and a fluttering synth line that teases throughout. Next up, Maruader, which keeps with the four-to-the-floor feel and lurches in the best of ways with an absolutely killer bleep-style bass and shuffling hats; an ice cold pad cuts though as the track evolves. Third track, The Witching Hour, is classic Asymmetric, rolling bass-heavy percussion set against yearnful pads which tip upwards every so often. Changing tack is fourth track Up End It All, an uplifting and slamming take on drum and bass, heavy constantly changing beats on rotation and classic Kennedy melody binding the track together in elegant style. Last up is Infinity, another slice of Asymmetric class, driving beats and weaving arpeggios. What a start to 2026!

Ben Sims Snapshot 99 has been remixed by ANNE, with three versions of one of 2023s Techno anthems joining an original dub on the release from Hardgrooves vinyl offshoot, Hardgroove Originals. Stemming from the hard discovery of a riff created in 1999, Snapshot 99 was one of 2023s biggest tracks, with its penetrative contemporary groove offsetting the floaty, infectious topline in a rare bit of studio alchemy that joins two centuries. Now, Greek artist and Hardgroove (and sister label, Symbolism) associate ANNEs versions take the track into undulating, percussive, and deep chord-laden territories that could resonate throughout a full night or provide an arsenal of weapons for the creative DJs out there. Sims dub, featured on the original release, hits vinyl for the first time in all of its stripped-back glory.

Sweden meets Hungary for the first EarToGround of 2026 as we proudly introduce Lakej and Dave Wincent to the label with a collaborative four track Extra Player on our 64th release. The result of this merging of electronic talents is exceptional. Pure undiluted Techno. Transmutations delivers exactly what your mind and body needs, totally immersion on a pressurised dance floor.

Melbourne / Naarm strongholdButter Sessionsclock 15 years in the game with a trilogy of 12s, sustaining their uncompromising streak of peak-form electronics. The family-style V/A binds friends, collaborators, former studio neighbours and DJ booth allies, capturing a label that exists as community as much as catalogue. A new chapter in Butter Sessions ongoing Japanese exchange sees Sapporo sound sculptor Kuniyukire-opening a 2015 tour collaboration with label heads Sleep D- a deep, spatial beatdown powered by dub pressure and percussive hypnosis. Shadow-lurking prodigy Mosam Howiesondrops in with his trademark scatterbrain techno, while Hasvat Informantlocks into joint-consciousness big-room radioactivity. Opening the B-side, Fader Capfuses Balearic psy-ence with Mike Dunn-esque utilitarian jack, hovering somewhere between 80s memory and future vision. Tokyos Mayurashkafollows with Survival Guide, big beat colliding with drug chug, before Albrecht LaBrooyreunite for a divine chill-out tent slowdown, magnifying sample detail with exacting flow. Were adrift until Sunju Hargunlights the beacon with ???????(Sky Surfer), Thailands emissary of ritualistic minimal trance. Whether taken alone or folded into the three-disc triptych, each instalment stands as a bag-ready constant, charged with Butter Sessions curatorial finesse.

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.

Vienna based artist and Bare Hands owner Sedvs makes his Unterwegs debut with a fierce four track EP. Following up from his debut LP Paradise Lost on Bare Hands, Daniel Hartl delivers four meticulously sculpted cuts engineered for peak-hour dance floors and deep-end sound systems in the form of his Teorema EP. This record reaffirms his singular vision: raw, intense, and hypnotically precise. SEVDS once again steps into his rightful space, where craft meets conviction, and techno breathes with intensity and purpose.

The latest Hayes release introduces Lewis Fautzi to the label with a body of work that aligns naturally with the labels vision. The EP showcases his modern, cerebral take on the genre whilst firmly rooted in contemporary club culture.

Theres nothing quite like digging into new Anna Kost material. Despite toppling all expectations, its a given that one is into a box full of surprises, sharp turns, and cunning sound selection. Across 4 originals, Kost gives us a demonstration of range in bass pressure, from the subdued stepper attitude of Unseen to a garage infused ghost-note masterclass on Gud Dog, a trip-hop tour de force via Subcut and footworky dubstep hybrids on Carryon. Vardae sees us out with a remix of Unseen that adds the techno cherry on top to this release, with a scorching display of lysergic beauty.

DIVERSION is a duo from Cork, Ireland, whose journey began early through a shared passion for electronic music. After meeting in school and playing their first DJ sets together, production quickly followed. Since then, they have released over 25 tracks and four EPs, steadily shaping their own sonic identity. Over the past two years, that identity has evolved significantly. Their sound has moved toward a more raw and driving form of techno, stripped back and focused on momentum, pressure and atmosphere. Signal From The Burren captures this shift and marks a clear statement of where DIVERSION stand today. Produced throughout 2025, the EP reflects a refined yet versatile approach, with each track contributing its own character while remaining grounded in a cohesive vision. Following two previous releases with Grab The Groove, the label felt like a natural home for this next chapter. GTG SOLO 008 presents DIVERSION at a decisive moment, confident in direction and committed to pure techno. Mixed & Mastered by Mython Artwork by Bureau Bizarre | Morgenstern

Touchpoint No shared ground with this world. Only scattered points of contact. Not enough to survive. There will be no compromise. No way to be convenient. Distributed by Pressology - www.pressology.net

This four-track release captures the duo in a concentrated and forward-driven phase of their sound. The EP delivers a deeply immersive take on modern techno, built on commanding low-end, intricate rhythmic structures, and evolving melodic elements that create sustained momentum and tension. Across the release, each track develops with intention, revealing layered textures, subtle modulation, and hypnotic progression. The production balances raw synthesis with precise sound design, allowing the music to unfold gradually while maintaining a strong sense of movement and intensity. Designed for both deep listening and high-energy environments, the record remains focused, controlled, and atmospheric throughout. With a clear vision and an uncompromising approach, Esilum continue to push their sonic language forward. This release marks another step in their ongoing exploration of rhythm, space, and emotional depth within techno

After lost master-plates, a crazy small amount of copies in the wild and rising prices on Discogs, we decided to order a fresh cut. Now presenting a valuable remastered reissue of this Frustrated Funk hover cult classic from 2016. Updated artwork. Sonically enhanced audio. Same drama. Original 2016 description: The in 1986 produced MKS-50 synth is a rack-mount version of Roland Corporations Alpha Juno. It has the same synth engine and architecture, but with added features like 16 programmable chord memories, the ability to store velocity, volume, panning, de-tune, portamento and other similar parameters within each patch you create. The optional PG-300 gives traditional slider type control of all editable tone parameters which include DCO (digitally controlled oscillators) LFO, bend, ENV, pulse, waveforms, noise, PW/PWM, high pass filter, VCF (filter) with freq/env/res/LFO/kybd, VCA envelope, chorus, and more. Adapta delivers a project based on this legendary MKS-50 synth. Tracks created with technology from the past, aimed for the future. What we call,.. Techno!!

Dial label founder Carsten Jost compiles the third part of our 25 Years collection. Happy New Year!

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. He makes his debut on Float Records with Anhedonic, an EP that firmly establishes his sonic identity. Sensor Systems delivers a signature sound compelling a blend of club-oriented sci-fi atmospheres, pulsive repetition, and strikingly deep low-end rhythms. 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.

This edition introduces several fresh voices to our platform: Italian artist Mattia Dambrosio opens the release with a track that fuses intensity and low-end depth into a powerful, immersive flow. The collaboration between Ther3min and Vanina Buniak follows, channeling raw energy and spatial tension into a piece that echoes the essence of warehouse Techno. Spanish producer PWCCA contributes a sharp, driving cut led by a commanding synth line, while Spaaax closes the compilation with a piece that nods to classic rhythms through a modern and detailed framework. Mutable Minds XI continues the exploration of diverse perspectives under one shared vision — mental, physical, and ever-evolving. This is MindTrip! - Cover image of Sh2-124 by Pfirter.

Dear Stream returns to Apparel Tronic with Bricolage, a four-track sonic essay about creation through fragments. The title says it all: a bricolage is the art of building with whats already there, borrowing tools, sounds, languages, and letting them reassemble into something new without pretending to be original. Each track seems to fold in on itself, sampling, and repurposing elements that once belonged elsewhere, but now coexist in a space of their own. Its music that questions where originality even begins, and if it still matters. The concept draws inspiration from Derridas Structure, Sign and Play in the Discourse of the Human Sciences, embracing the postmodern idea that creativity isnt about purity or origin, but about play, movement, and difference. Bricolage moves through layered textures and abstract rhythms, balancing precision and accident. Its Dear Stream at his most reflective, experimental yet approachable, theoretical yet practical. A record that doesnt claim to invent, but rather to connect, and in doing so, becomes something unmistakably its own.

Where maturity evolves into a signature sound, the personal and musical journey becomes one. Chromadelia by Italian producer and live artist Ness refines two decades of precision and craft. It is techno reduced to its core logic - direct, functional, and self-aware. Ness process moves from spontaneous jams to detailed sculpting, a continuous sequence where improvisation gradually becomes structure. Randomness plays a role, but only as the foundation for his architecture. The result is music that feels both deliberate and fluid, shaped by intuition and refined through years of practice. Minimalism here isnt merely an aesthetic choice, but an organic conclusion -- drawn from experience and the trust that less can truly reveal more. The four tracks on Chromadelia extend this clarity onto the dance floor: sharp, beepy, metallic, rhythmically charged, yet open enough to let each element breathe. Introspection and club-functionality coexist seamlessly, each amplifying the other. In Chromadelia, Ness demonstrates that every tone, every pulse serves a purpose, offering a clear reflection of an artist who has learned to let precision speak louder than complexity.

What happens if you let some of the chips fall where they may? Does it mean giving up command, or is it a way to reclaim it? Silent Logic, Marco Maldarellas second release on Omen Wapta, doesnt try to pose this question, it just answers it. With transitional potency. In a sincere and understated way, this is a project that demarcates life in flux. Not as a document, but by presenting music practice as a tool to catalyse transformation. Its an esoteric glimpse into an alternate universe where personal development book charts are topped by the greats of automatic writing. Rhythms as sigils, timbre as gnosis; some elements seize control, others unleash the subliminal. Over the span of an astounding twenty tracks, single-take synth excursions are combined with calculated rhythmic structuring. The patterns on Silent Logic start to live life on their own beyond the intentional accents in the grid. As a product of multiple manual drum phasings, different actors in the percussive section spindle around each other. The number of elements per track is restrained to an austere framework, but a rigorous eye for detail hands the compositions a level of depth that goes beyond immediate perception, nestling itself into the brain stem. Right in place for celestial expansion. Silent Logic breaks microtraditions wide open, but it doesnt break with them. Not only does it present a pivotal point in Marco Maldarellas discography and practice with its mammoth length and thematic depth; it traverses a junction within the Omen Wapta continuum. From a large base of source material is born a tracklist that swells, accelerates and comes alive as we progress through it. The result is a first half that flips tradition into nowness, elegantly bringing more conventional tempos home to the imprint. It wields the second and third act into a rip-roaring conclusion that presents life as being cyclical beyond mere duplication. This careful process ultimately leaves us with a very real artifact. On Silent Logic, the space between expressions prevents complete meaning from becoming unveiled. The impact of its sounds comes as the result of experience pursued to the end. The free-flowing mind is channeled into clarity. Its a testament to the power of straws pulled at random.

Dutch producer Troy steps up on Infrastructure with a forceful double pack of his highly effective techno. Over the course of eight tracks he flawlessly follows up his earlier outings on labels such as Klockworks, NON Series and KEY Vinyl and pushes his hypnotic, dense and punchy techno sound to the next level.

After collaborating with Answer Code Request on Delsin early 2024, Amotik now strengthens the relationship with a first solo EP for the Amsterdam based label. Delsin is known for working the sweet spot in between emotive electronica and dancefloor functionality, and it feels like the perfect place for Amotiks new EP Raat. The Berlin based producer has been pushing his highly effective techno tools via his own imprints for over a decade and doesnt make an appearance on external labels often. So for this special occasion he adds new layers of deepness and emotion to his palette. An effortless combo of punchy techno grooves and soothing pads together form a well rounded pack of dancefloor euphoria. The remarkable bleeps and playful rhythms of Amotiks highly effective techno are deftly transformed into four pieces of excellent eyes-closed techno felicity.

PRESS: 2025, the crew is sent back to the desolate planet—this time to recover the missing ships data core. The world feels changed: heavier air, watching shadows, a silence that trembles. Strange metallic structures rise where there was only dust before, pulsing faintly as the team approaches. Their fears return sharper, almost intentional, as if the force beneath the surface has learned them—now awakening with its own quiet, hungry consciousness. w&p by V/A Mastered at 12degree.east masterings Artwork by Oliver Rosemann
