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.

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.
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.

The compilation is completed by the unmistakable talents of Damiano von Erckert, Fedele, and ja:ck, who provide the perfect conclusion to the first of two parts. This release sets the stage for whats next: a daring diptych where musical voices emerge, shining with originality and passion, carrying the spirit forward. The story is just beginning. Something special is on the horizon. One can only wonder which artists will shine on the second chapter.

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.
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.
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.-
Gaetano Parisio, CRAVO, Dold, Endlec, SERA J, The Advent, Newa, Julieta Kopp, Mike Konstantinidis, Glaskin, Dynamic Forces, ANNĒ
Nastias imprint launches a new compilation series curated by selected music connoisseurs and crate diggers, with ANNĒ as the debut curator. Each compilation features handpicked unreleased pieces including an exclusive track by the curator. The release pairs a curated double vinyl with a CD featuring the curators own mix of the compilation. For this first edition, ANNĒ has put together a balanced journey that opens with Gaetano Parisios dynamic old-school energy and closes with The Advents raw classic techno. Between these two legends, the selection flows seamlessly across the first 12. The second record takes a more soulful direction, starting with Newa and closing with ANNĒs own track - a natural way to wrap up the journey shes curated, serving both as a closing piece and the final statement of the compilation.
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.
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.

SHDW's label, Mutual Rytm hits a notable milestone at the start of 2024 as it turns two years old and hits its 20th release. To mark the occasion, the carefully curated compilation 'Federation Of Rytm III' arrives on February 2nd with a 30-track 5 x 12" boxset vinyl release and a further 6 digital bonus tracks. Mutual Rytm is synonymous with serious, no-frills techno. It is a go-to for the worlds most influential DJs and a home to some of the scene's most innovative producers. Over the last two years, it has explored several shades of sound, always with high-quality production and forward-thinking styles. A fine balance has always been struck between new and emerging talents and established names with plenty more to say, and that is the case on this collection which features the legendary likes of Blawan, Gary Beck, Colin Benders, The Advent and Dax J next to ANNĒ, Alarico, JakoJako, Chlär, LDS and many more. Founder SHDW says, "I've poured my heart into curating a compilation of 36 tracks, a reflection of my deepest musical passions. The lineup is stacked with incredible artists, and it captures the label's essence - a fusion of artists spanning generations, united by a shared spirit and aesthetic, creating a seamless 'mutual rhythm'." Although all 36 tracks stand alone as high-grade and club-ready dynamite, they also collectively form a versatile listening experience thanks to how they've been carefully assembled into a perfectly sequenced journey. Each one dives into a different nuance within the world of techno and there is a range of moods from dark and driving to more energising and uplifting. The collection not only shows how far Mutual Rytm has come in a short space of time but also that it remains in a constant state of evolution and has a bright future ahead in 2024 and beyond. SHDW's vision at Mutual Rytm was always to present a cohesive yet varied musical experience, and Federation Of Rytm III does exactly that.

INSOLATE
The phenomenal artist, Insolate, joins MATERIA with a powerful four-track EP titled Nostalgia. True to its name, the release channels the raw emotion, hypnotic groove, and timeless energy of classic techno, reimagined through a modern lens. Each track is crafted for deep, immersive dancefloor moments, paying tribute to the genres roots while firmly pushing forward.
R.M.K
Renowned electronic music producer and Fossil Archive label founder R.M.K returns in 2026 with his new EP, Modern Fakery. The project marks another milestone in his career, showcasing the intricate sound design and propulsive energy that have become hallmarks of his work, further cementing his status as a forwardthinking force within the techno landscape.

This EP is the result of my experiences and influences coming together, and Im excited to finally share it. Since its launch in 2015, Fossil Archive has become a respected home for cuttingedge electronic music, releasing works by artists including Voiski, DJ Rolando, Sterac (Steve Rachmad), Roman Lindau, Robert Owens, Jamie Anderson, and many othersalongside R.M.Ks own output. As both a DJ and a live performer, R.M.K has graced legendary clubs such as fabric, Tresor, Berghain, and more, continuing to showcase his unique sonic vision across global stages.
The Miller
The Miller joins Backspin with a potent 7-track EP that explores the sharper, groovier edges of techno. Topped off with a remix by legend Gaetano Parisio, 'Loops & Tonic' is a no-frills, rhythm-forward toolkit. It's percussive, hypnotic and full of old-school motion. The A-side opens with 'It Was Just A Knife', a tribal-driven looper layered with Detroit-reminiscent synths. The track is a subtle nod to the past, wrapped in tight modern production. Peak OG hardgroove. 'Tryck' dials up the tension with broken rhythms, tripped-out cymbals and bleeps, adding a leftfield touch without losing the percussive thread. The B-side brings out the funk. 'Snake Venom' and 'Sax' strip techno down to its rolling essentials: it's all about punchy drums, melodic accents and a steady forward drive. The vinyl closes with the 'Groove Cut' version of the digital-only track 'Bastard', a remix by legendary producer Gaetano Parisio that reimagines the original into a leaner, melodic trip with clean basslines and spaced-out synth work. Two digital-only tracks round out the EP: the raw original version of 'Bastard' and 'Megadrive', a rolling piece featuring dreamy synth stabs and crisp percussion, both perfect for late-night transitions or deep floor moments. The fifth release of Regal's label Backspin Records is a versatile, groovy and characterful techno record. The Miller's 'Loops & Tonic' EP is a proof that the most effective techno doesn't shout - it rolls, hits and lingers. It's the perfect record for floors that never stop moving.
Butane
Butane returns to Extrasketch with 'Late Stage Everything', an eight-track trip through deep, hypnotic house and techno. Focused and refined, it explores the absurd rhythms of escapism in a world on the brink. World Gone Mad and Work It open with rolling, heads-down grooves that set the tone. System Malfunction dives deeper as a party pharmacist deals in dancefloor excess. Introspective, tense, and physical, Say What and We Are the Imagination of Ourselves expand the Butane sound into cinematic territory, while Effing The Ineffable and Fly High reconnect us with our primitive roots - just the right amount of raw, tribal, and unhinged. Finally, Disassociate strips everything back and reflects on a world where anonymity might be the last true artistic statement. Late Stage Everything is the sound of machines glitching, channeled into controlled chaos. This isn’t Instagram masquerading as the underground; it’s beautifully programmed, dirty warehouse music for those of us still grooving in the dark.
Marcelo
'Ubicate' is a call to re-enter reality, not the curated one, but the raw, unfiltered ground beneath our feet. We live in a world spinning on distraction, and the record insists on orientation: body to rhythm, oneself to crowd, truth to motion and movement. Each track collapses genre borders (trance, hardgroove, psy-prog, breaks, electro...) into a single and rythmic organism that refuses to escape; it confronts. Voices, fragments, and samples appear like ghosts of street protests, laughter, and urgency and are reminders of the social frequencies reverberating under every dance floor. Ubicate isn't just spatial; it's ethical. It's a demand to locate oneself politically, emotionally, physically : to stop drifting and stand where you are, fully. Honest Moves becomes both an attitude and an act of resistance: clarity as defiance, presence as revolution.
Drop-E, RNGD
La Furia del Viento is the name of our next EP that follows on a raw vibe, polyrhythmic sequences, bleepy sounds, white noise washes and a constantly evolving structure. Drop-E & RNGD presents rhythmical, dense, dark and sharped release with its richly textured, otherworldly ambient soundscapes that conjure post-apocalyptic imagery. Bartig Move (half of Mist Gasp) makes his Signal debut with great hot pieces of techno, packed with odd tricks, unannounced grooves and dancing incantations. Angelo Stasi & ØTi remix evokes states of suggestion due to the harmonious interaction between its forceful kicks and its devastating sequences of debauchery as if it were a matter of falling through a cosmic abyss.
Ben Sims
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.
David Reina, Hugo Rolan, Translate, Histerial, Rostøm, JØHRN
Warp Dissonance presenta su catálogo WDS015. Referencia que sale al mercado en formato físico y digital. Un V/A de 12 formado por los artistas que hasta ahora nos han acompañado. Hablamos de David Reina, Hugo Rolan, Translate, Histerial, Rostøm y JØHRN. Todo un recital de sonidos diversos que se dispersan por diferentes caminos dentro del género pero terminando en un mismo punto de reflexión y análisis sin límites. A1.Uno de los estandartes de la producción musical hablamos de David Reina, artista que no necesita presentación con una perspectiva sólida y personal. David Reina da nombre de (The Lost Tribe) a su aportación para este disco. Un corte con una delicadeza impresionante, un laberinto de sonidos y ambientes cuidados con mucho detalle. Creando todo un panorama sonoro y atemporal el cual nos hace partícipes del talento de este artista. A2. Hugo Rolan el cirujano del sonido sci-fi nos invita a viajar en su nave con ( Abismo Ético). Una inmersión sonora que fluye durante todo el proceso donde la rítmica entra en un estado frenético y se ve interrumpida por un arreglo vocal futurista. La madurez sonora que plasma en Abismo Ético como en cada una de sus obras es un claro reflejo de la calidad de este artista. A3. Desde Argentina nos llega (Fixation) de la mano de uno de los arquitectos del diseño sonoro hablamos de Translate. Experto en diseñar obras de alta calidad, abarcando un espacio y tiempo atemporal. Translate nos aporta una obra de puro sonido electrónico con sonidos rotos a lo más puro electro con arreglos de vocal distorsionada y best old school y haciendo transiciones rítmicas en proceso de su obra. B1. La formación Histerial nos aporta (Colapso). Un corte con un sonido duro, profundo y secuencial el cual va desarrollando gradualmente hasta llegar al colapso como su nombre hace referencia, creando una expectación la cual rompe con un gran flujo de energía. El sonido crudo e hipnótico que Histerial incorpora a esta obra hacen que (Colapso) sea un laberinto de sonidos y texturas. B2. El Alemán Rostøm nos deleita con (Low Lights) un corte rompedor repleto de sonidos metálicos un groove pesado y contundente. Low Lights es una de esas obras de Techno que golpea e hipnotiza en cada uno de los compases con texturas ácidas y syth psicodélicos. B3.JØHRN nos presenta (The Old Chorious). Todo un paisaje sonoro muy inteligente y cuidado hasta el máximo detalle. Con un kick que golpea con gran presencia pero amenizándolo con un recital de ambientes y arreglos sacados de otra dimensión. JØHRN es un artista con una visión muy clara y lo deja plasmada en cada una de sus pistas con un diseño minucioso y tratado. Desde Warp Dissonance le damos las gracias a todos los artistas que han colaborado en esta obra sin dejarnos atrás (Carlos Koschitzky) como encargado del mastering y (Ana Jorhs) al arte.

VGVA 1.0 – Various Artists Album Notes VGVA 1.0 is the first official catalog release from Vexed Grooves, marking the transition from a podcast-based platform into a fully operating label. Born from the atmosphere and conversations of the ENCODED ECHOES I Series, this compilation gathers a tower of artists who answered the same call: to build a shared space where sound becomes exchange, and distance becomes connection. The release is shaped by a deep and introspective energy, subtly infused with rhythmic warmth and global accents. Artists from Buenos Aires, Tunis, Tokyo, Manchester, and beyond come together not to follow a single genre line, but to contribute personal perspectives to a collective narrative. Ten tracks form the core statement, each one a distinct voice in a wider dialogue. Closing the release is a Broken Fragment — an ambient piece by A-STS, circulating as an exclusive signal for now, later to reappear in a future compilation where it finds its full context. VGVA 1.0 is more than a various artists compilation; it is a document of beginnings. It represents the first step of a growing catalog, shaped through trust, collaboration, and shared vision.

Sensor Systems
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.
NØRBAK
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.
Joel Mull
Stunden launches as a new techno label dedicated to deep, driving music engineered for the dance floor. The imprint opens with a powerful three-track release from Swedish techno mainstay Joel Mull. With Root Signal, Pressure Bloom, and Basalt Memory, Mull sculpts hypnotic grooves that feel carved from the earth itselfrhythms built to evolve, rise, and reshape the night. Substrata is rooted in the underground spirit: the collective pulse found in dim rooms, cavernous warehouses, and spaces where evolution happens in the shadows before it reaches the light. Here, sound is treated like sedimentcompressed, shaped, and refined over timeyet always pushing toward a new form. Substrata champions the urge to move, to dig deeper, and to let rhythm transform us.

Perc
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.
Uncertain
Uncertain needs no introduction, hes been topping the charts for years. But this release actually marks his debut on SWAY. Twenty years ago, we dropped records under his former alias Boriqua Tribez on our other label, Hz Trax. Now hes back with four powerful tracks in his unmistakable style, full of raw energy and perfectly in tune with the SWAY vibe. A guaranteed sure shot!

STRATO officially inaugurates its label catalog with Radici EP, the debut release curated by Pyramidal Decode. The record unfolds across four tracks that define a rigorous and refined sonic aesthetic. The producer explores the delicate balance between deep textures and hypnotic rhythms, crafting a soundscape where meticulous sound design meets a tense, ever-evolving narrative. Moving from cerebral atmospheres to magnetic pulsations tailored for the dancefloor, Radici EP develops as a profound introspective journey.
