Dawn Razor and Archetech, two friends and two-thirds of the once-active trio Sonnen Blumen Kerne, have collaborated to deliver an album of tracks previously released exclusively on vinyl through Dawn Razor's NARA Records. When Lobster Theremin ceased operations, the stock of these releases was lost, leaving only brief preview snippets online. Adam approached HOMAGE with the story and shared the tunes with us. Moved by the situation, we decided to release all of the tracks as a retrospective album. Thus, 'Half Life' was born-a collection of 10 tracks that blur the boundaries between slammin' electro, breakbeat, and mutated bass, all with a minimalist edge.
One VA is good, 2 is better! Make yourself comfortable and let your eardrums be pierced by this symphony of bass and groovy melodies. If you missed the first train, don't worry. The 2nd is coming to run you over... Thank you all for being with us for 2 years, we are strong because of you! Distributed by Label Engine - www.label-engine.com

Dutch producer and DJ Orlando Voorn should need little introduction - he's been making waves for around 30 years, providing some of the key audio building blocks for the bridge between Holland and Detroit back in the day and excelling at everything he touches. A true creative soul. Whilst rooted in Techno, those who know his work will know he is a versatile producer who draws on a wide set of influences and a deep musical education. The Hunting Season EP provides three solid cuts that bear this point out, and in style. The title tracks brings a ferocious groove, big warehouse beats and a skittish synth hook that's sure to stimulate body and mind. Heading to track two, Quick Thinking, things get tougher with pounding drums and a pattern that blends Electro and broken Techno brilliantly as distorted atmospherics spin and build around your head. The EP closes with The Point of No Return, a mellower cut that brings Orlando's Detroit connection and passion to the forefront.

Their mission: to infuse the digital landscape with a distinctly human essence, like flowers growing in a digital wasteland.

As their story unfolds, American artist Terrestrial Access Network provides the final twist: A remix that echoes across the binary expanse.
Intrinsic Rhythm is proud to release previously unheard and unreleased tracks from Decal (D1, Satamile) Available on limited vinyl and additional tracks on digital. Irish electro great Decal was digging back through the archives when he found a stash of old electro tracks from 1999-2004 that never quite made it onto any release. "At the time I'd have been fairly upfront about wanting to release tracks that were faster than most and in a style that wasn't straight electro. Some of these tracks fell into a weird middle ground for me, so they got put aside. It had been 20 years since I'd heard any of them and on listening back I reckoned that time had been kind to them so I started remastering them alongside some classic 12" releases from my label Trama Industries. For me, it was interesting to hear sounds and techniques emerging on some later tracks that would form the basis of my later projects like Legion Of Two and Of One. I'd kinda forgotten about that. Huge thanks to Eddie and Intrinsic Rhythm for suggesting a release and believing in the project"
In a world engulfed by the digital realm, where social media platforms thrive and dominate every aspect of our lives, the enigmatic project known as Datashader was founded to reflect on the pervasive erosion of authentic human connection through various virtual realities. Artistically, Datashader seeks to critique the impact of technology on human identity and relationships, breaking with an archetype of digital conformity and expressing a profound disillusionment with the superficiality of online interactions through music. Genuine human connection and art cannot be quantified by likes, comments, or followers but rather thrives in the visceral realm of shared sonic experience and human emotion. This idea is at the core idea of Datashader, whose artistic expression ranges from avant-garde composition and electronic experimentations to art, installation, film and more. Expressed within the varied contexts of diverse artistic mediums, Datashader explores the concept of "technological gentrification", which describes the gradual displacement of human interaction by technology. Just as gentrification alters the urban landscape, driving out communities and cultures, digital gentrification transforms the social landscape, replacing genuine connection with curated online personas. Musically, Datashader's practice confronts this dystopian reality, highlighting the alarming consequence of people becoming mere nodes in a network, reduced to a collection of data points. This is manifested sonically by a blistering assault of breaks, recontextualized IDM, abstract electronics and otherworldly synthscapes, conceived as the aesthetic counterbalance to much of contemporary electronic music's dancefloor focus. Datashader dives deep into genres and influences which stand for a form of sonic resistance: A contemporary anti- soundtrack - a sonic mirror of the price we pay for convenience and instant gratification. A self-image in constant flux. No false technological idols.

WARNING!: This record explores the second verification of the origins of rotation in tornadoes experiment, VORTEX2. This sonic experiment is designed to explore the mechanisms of tornadogenesis, maintenance, and demise, the wind field near the ground in tornadoes, the relationship between tornadoes and their parent thunderstorms and the relationship among tornadoes, tornadic storms and the larger scale environment. This is the Supercellular Tornadogenesis. Hazards may occur! Beware!!.. Three tracks of industrial/techno/electro inspired by the absolute insanity of North Texas weather and the borderline obsession with weather phenomena/meteorology that growing up in this environment created. All one take hardware recordings, written in the late 00s in Dallas TX.

Co-Accused take it into techno territory with a relentless, high energy take on the original. 'Censored Truth' opens the portal to the B side with free-radical synths intertwining with dark machine funk. The punchy drums in ' ' pull you towards a distress beacon, with face-hugging builds and chest bursting drops. Human Rebellion round off the release with the dystopian, driving sounds of 'Jupiterians'

EKATA debuts on Data Point and joins the Censor crew with the slick 4 track Videodrome EP. A stark-cold light flickers on the VDU of the internal server rack that once provided navigation for the Censor crew as they traverse their known systems and orbit the 3rd Moon: Data Point. A system that once forged paths and created wormholes across multiple dimensions, but is now locked on a new channel with EKATA engaging override and now in full control of the whole vessel on this mission. EKATA asserts control on the title track Videorome with fast-paced drums and synthesiser energy straight to the control deck. Machine Malfunctionen resets the controls with a darker more tripped out pace with icy leads and tight electro zaps altering the course of the ep by talking straight to the motherboard. Utopia allows EKATA to push the driving force on this ep with a 4/4 drop and pulsing cold lead sounds. Spectro_700 resets the coordinates and allows the crew safe voyage with a crescendo of synth-lines and fast paced drum-edits.
Cultivated Electronics starts off its 2024 release schedule with an all electro family affair from father and son duo The Advent and Zein Ferreira. "Elektronically Minded EP" is the first of two releases scheduled on the label from them this year. For this first instalment the pair turn in two tracks of expertly crafted production that pays homage to the history of the genre with their own modern twist. The A side's "Basic Channelling" is given remix treatment from Robert Witchoski a.k.a.The Exaltics who steps up the gears with a 4/4-esqe rework in his signature style. To close out the EP, remix duty stays in the family with a rework of "Syncopated"(a track that features on the next EP) by nephew of Cisco and cousin of Zein, Torai, who shows that high-end electro production definitely runs in the veins of the Ferreira family.

The music prompts contemplation on the evolution toward a more machine-like humanity. This eagerly anticipated release firmly establishes Creasol as one of the genre's standout artists!
Fobos Hailey a breath of fresh air with his latest EP « Breathe ». From start to finish he takes you on a wildly intense and emotional journey. Drawing inspiration from cascade of electronic genres the Kazan producer shows his skills with his diverse set of musical cuts. "No problem" is a in your face with its buzzing bass line and electro drums surrounded with metallic atmospheric ambience dripping with acid. "Breathe" is a post-breakbeat track that's reaching back in time to the revolutionary rave soundscape which the Prodigy was known for. "Chemical" is downtempo heater tripped out with hypnotic hip hop elements with a groove so hard you will fall off your chair. "Protest" and "Timelapse" pushes you into the ether with their fluttering swirl of vocal synth like pads and bellowing basses, both have a very uplifting spirit. "Strange Festival" is a psychedelic LSD trance-tek delight that takes you deep into the forest of an illegal DIY rave. The absolute mad scientist @benpest gives us an unrelenting remix as he smashes the track "Chemical "into bits, corroding the track with ground shaking kicks, punching snares, as he creates a storm like magnetic bass line with kinked out vocals, the sound is equally as aggressive as it is sexy.
Furatena are proud to reveal the outcome of a new collaboration between two of electro music's most remarkable spanish-speaking artists. Robert Cosmic and Saigg's "Superficial Information" is a unique and exciting hybrid of Electro and Techno sounds. Opening track "Matdrid" enters a tunnel of lowpitched vocals, moving in a potent exercise of deftly manipulated acid lines. "Adglock" draws pulsating and noisy basslines across expansive, droning synth shots and 140bpm techno rhythms. "Ecaptcha" plunges deep into an electro sound splintered by binary bits and submerged vocal triggers that beckon a scheming melody. On "Unglock" Roberto and Andres lead with an thick bass, heavily shapeshifting tones and vocal hits with effects processing. The EP closes with "Translate", a hard-hitting electro track, steaming sonics and arpeggiated acidic bleeps, with a techno bassline diving in subterranean motions. "Superficial Information" marks the full debut for both artists on Furatena.
Monotone Sounds presents the new EP from renowned Artist Tim Sean-Lee: a variety of electronic music production with Electro, EBM and House influences. This release showcases Tim Sean-Lee's multifaceted nature and takes his listeners on an interdimensional journey. Dive into the Enigmatic World of IDM: 1. Subspace Communication This uncompromising Production seamlessly blends pumping kick drums, mesmerizing bass lines, and rhythmical hi-hats to create an exhilarating sonic experience. Drawing inspiration from the captivating world of science-fiction, this Tune showcases futuristic modulated synthesizer sound elements, transporting listeners into a realm of analog sounds that pay homage to the Borg Collective mindset. 2. Cybernetic Queen Prepare to be captivated by the gloomy sounds of Tim Sean-Lee's latest production, "Cybernetic Queen." This visionary music highlight takes listeners on a journey through the depths of the unknown, immersing them in a world of raw minimal drum beats, spherical bass lines, and deep metallic clap-snares. The multi-analog modulated sounds create an ethereal atmosphere, while the energetic, main lead sound draws the listener deeper and deeper. Drawing inspiration from the realms of science-fiction and dark goth sound of the 80s, „Cybernetic Queen„ seamlessly blends elements of both genres, leaving audiences entranced by its otherworldly charm. 3. Housenthic Assimilation Get ready to embark on a thrilling journey through time and space. The straight to the floor rim shots and hi-hats weave a spellbinding groove, while the rhythmical main synth sound and 'kickin ur ass' bass-drum patterns punctuate the track with pure, sensual harmony. The fusion of wet claps with metallic snares creates a unique texture that heightens the auditory experience. 4. Housenthic Assimilation (House You Wet Mix) This sensual, yet gloomy 4 to the floor track is set to assimilate listeners on the dance-floor. It's a "Wet On The Dance Floor " journey that compels the body to move.
Dekmantel is proud to welcome Theo Kottis for an EP of snappy, melodically-charged house, techno and electro with a distinct 90s edge. Lighthouse marks a shift in focus for the London-based Scottish producer the result of a self-imposed creative reset which has seen him honing a more mature sound both in the studio and on the decks. The EPs title track has been on heavy rotation this summer from the likes of Ben UFO, Francesco Del Garda & Palms Trax, and its not hard to work out why. Lighthouse draws on all the best elements of club music and moulds them into a deadly, effective whole. From the driving low-end of the Reese bassline to the razor-sharp attack of the 4/4 drums, the swoon of the Motor City pads to the tweaked acid line, its a hybrid techno workout of the highest order. Following the inspirational flash point of Lighthouse Kottis built out the rest of the EP in a similar vein of characterful, impactful club tracks driven by iconic 90s sounds wielded with precision. Warp brings the 303 further to the forefront while Take Control digs into deliciously dirty lead lines and Distance takes a more explicit electro direction. He might be exploring a revitalised sound, but Kottis holds true to his flair for ear-snagging anthems evidenced on past releases for Permanent Vacation, Space Dust and DGTL amongst many others. As Kottis impact on the scene continues to grow, its a true pleasure to present some of his fiercest tracks to date on his continued upward trajectory.
After building up a head of steam on labels such as Craigie Knowes and Rotterdam Electronix in the past couple of years, Larionov debuts on Sheffield's Central Processing Unit with the Space Threat EP. Larionov's previous releases have shown off a musical sensibility which is both schooled in classic electro stylings and also able to reach for leftfield sonics in a way which sets the producer apart from the pack. It's a vibe that continues into this record, a quartet of busy electro joints which are characterised by a brooding, neurotic energy. The opening title-track is precisely the sort of thing which would soundtrack a voyage to the outer-edges of the solar system. 'Space Threat' is a nervy, restless bit of machine-funk, the track moving forward at a midtempo which manages to be at once steady and slightly fidgety. The beat skitters and swerves, a perpetual-motion machine of minor-key bass, strange modular flutters and thwacking snares. All of this is draped in icy washes of keyboard - think Drexciya if they blasted into outer space rather than delving deep down in the ocean. 'Asteroid Attack' works from the same blueprint for 'Space Threat' but ratchets up the intensity a little to take the track to another galaxy. It's still powered by a livewire neurosis, all piston-sharp drums and whirligig synth percussion. However, an increased tempo, strangely poignant keyboard lines and little snatches of vocoder-drenched vocals turn 'Asteroid Attack' in the direction of modern practitioners like Cardopusher and CPU homie Silicon Scally. Opening up the EP's B-side, 'Flying High' finds a midpoint between its predecessors, returning to the steadier pace and twitchy vibe of 'Space Threat' but maintaining 'Asteroid Attack's single-note counter-melodies and digified vocals - although here the ghostly treatment on the voice makes for a hugely eerie atmosphere. Around the four-minute mark, the track peels back the veil of synth pads and wobbling keys stabs to turn the attention wholly to the rhythm section, a choice which feels like taking a stiff drink in order to redouble your energy for the next part of the night. 'Vimana Ride' runs with 'Flying High's approach to see Space Threat out in style. There's something to the digital vocal sighs that make up the melody of this cut which gives things a really uncanny quality - it's the kind of sonic choice that Sadboys producers like Yung Gud and Yung Sherman would make, but applied wholly to the service of crafting body-popping, acid-tinged electro. Larionov arrives on Central Processing Unit with an EP of anxiously excellent electro experiments. RIYL: Cardopusher, Silicon Scally, Annie Hall, Cygnus
Taupe's debut EP on Sungate is a clear declaration of intent. 5 cuts of atemporal electroid sonics that travel from Neptunian landscapes to the depths of the deep-blue-sea. We are pulled suddenly into a hyperspace informed equally by the Detroit masters and Rotterdam electro authorities. Truly a journey.
'EPM Selected Vol. 9' features ten tracks from the EPMmusic archive and two unreleased mixes of classics from Mark Broom and Ben Sims. This collection goes right to our techno roots featuring artists such as Regis, Robert Hood, Oliver Way, Arno Vancolen, Carl Taylor, Lee J. Malcolm, Stare5 (aka Bryan Zentz), Bryan Chapman, Techmarine Bottom Feeders and Theiz plus the exclusive remixes of Ben Simss Xotnuc from Stevie Cox and the Chimes remix of Mark Brooms One Sound. We start Vol. 9 with Ben Simss Xotnuc which featured in our EPM 20 celebrations in 2021 but this time gets a brand new remix from Stevie Cox who brings the tempo down into a shimmering breakbeat before the mighty Karl OConnor (aka Regis) who brings a touch of rolling techno-funk with No Love From Above from his Beyond the Reach of Time EP. Bryan Chapman then gets a fortified techno remix from fellow UK producer, Inigo Kennedy who fires up Io into a solid dancefloor missile before the minimal master Robert Hood drops Shadows, showcasing his unique blend of techno minimalism to the full. Continuing in Hoods minimal vein we have Stare5 (aka Bryan Zentz) whose The Adverse Within was first unveiled on 2018s Void Swimmer EP and then we reveal another exclusive as the Chimes mix of Mark Brooms One Sound adds another layer of sonic depth to the techno crowd pleaser. Taking it back to 2012 Carl Taylors Onyx is quality tech-house through and through, with that added ingredient of funk, delivered from his True Faith album before the Techmarine Bottom Feeders (aka Paris the Black Fu and Emeric Di Paolo (Luxus Varta)) take us into an acid soaked vortex with The Vision (Radio Edit) and EPMs own Oliver Way rips into some Chi-town tech-boogie with Shuffle Rush that featured on 2022s V-Series: Chicago Connex EP alongside stompers from Robert Armani and Lester Fitzpatrick. The multi-talented Lee J. Malcolm then tackles Yellos classic Oh Yeah and Theiz takes us to the sounds of classic Black Dog / Plaid techno with his superb 1000 Year Cycle of the Dragonfly taken from his All That Remains album. Finally, signing off we have Bryan Chapmans hauntingly beautiful remix of Arno Vancolens Venus Loop Revisite.

Following up his anthemic late-summer burner, Hope, Credit 00 returns to Pinkman to deliver the album Midnightlife Crisis. Hopping between genres whilst remaining resolutely coherent, the twelve-track LP is a showcase of the Rat Life boss many influences. From the driving, mesmeric techno of Music Is A Spiritual Thing to the sci-fi electro on Bouncing Bell and Love Warriors downtempo, half-time shuffle, the collection of tracks is broad and varied yet simultaneously unified by belonging to the club. Whether its warm-up material, peaktime rollers or afterhours sludge for tired legs and scrambled heads, theres something for every scenario on Midnightlife Crisis. And with recurring themes of melancholy and anxiety throughout, the album perhaps reflects that all too familiar period for every club enthusiast when the years are ticking by and the lights are coming on. I just hope theres hope, sings the voice on the albums lead single, before reminding us that the dancefloors sweet release is often the best remedy to these negative thoughts - I see you shaking on the floor, that gives me hope, gives me hope.
Finally our first artist compilation is here! This album tells a story from the first to the last track, compiling all kinds of machines inside and printing them to make you dance till you drop! Distributed by Triplepoint - www.triplepointmusic.com

Mark Starr returns with his debut solo EP for Grow's CHP Recordings - delivering two acid tinged electro cuts after releasing a string of heavily supported remixes for the label. Both tracks draw on his unique stripped back style dripping with acid, electro, and Floridian influences that culminate into two heavy hitting tunes for this appropriately named EP. 'Body Control' focuses on hypnotic vocals balanced with gritty synth work, while 'Unique Freak' contains stylistic nods to his South Florida roots and serves as an ode to letting loose in the club, with your art, or whatever it is you do best.
After an awe-inspiring remix of MicroBros - Chromedioxide (Public Pleasure PP0005), we're happy to introduce the electro duo Telex-Two with their debut, I/O. The driving Goto 10 seamlessly combines catchy synthesizers, analog basslines, and an 8-bit-esque vocal for a contemporary electro twist.

Artist: Ara-u Title: No Information No Statistics Label: No Static / Automatic Bandcamp Release Date: 08/12/2023 Full release date: 05/01/2024 Format: Digital Cat No: NSA005.1 Following up on a pair of killer EPs from UK electro and techno legends Ben Pest and Kronos Device, No Static / Automatic label boss Ara-u steps up next with a heavy new solo EP - No Information No Statistics. Fast gaining recognition for his raw and heavy hitting machine funk forms, Venezuelan electro producer Ara-u serves up four new dancefloor growlers on this hefty four track offering. Opener No Information kicks the EP off with a sassy low slung groove taking us deep into the dystopian vision of electronic sound that underpins the release. Sub Implosion follows with a shuffling broken beat fully locked down in a gripping paranoid energy. On the second half of the EP Ara-u ramps the BPM up a level. The Watchdog belts out a stripped back beat against whomping hoover bass. Intoxication finishes off the EP on a kicking electro bass groover keeping that paranoid energy high with the warehouse floor at its core of being. Amazing support so far from Dave Clarke, Dj Bone, Co Accused,Faux Naif, ADJ, Rinse and more Tracklisting: 1. No Information 2. Sub Implosion 3. The Watchdog 4. Intoxication
