Mad Made is the imprint of SveTec, showcasing both his vision and the genres evolution. Committed to top-tier releases, the label strives to push boundaries and drive the renewal of Hard Techno, delivering fresh energy to the scene with a bold, forward-thinking attitude. Mad Made celebrates its 60th release with a bang - label boss SveTec returns with a three-track EP packed with pure, unfiltered Schranz energy. Backed by over 20 years of production experience, SveTec delivers relentless grooves, heavy kicks, and that signature power that defines the Mad Made sound.
OBSCURE SHAPE - TILL I DIE With TILL I DIE, OBSCURE SHAPE delivers an uncompromising statement for pure, unfiltered Schranz. Hard kick drums, distorted loops, and dark synth lines drive the energy to the limit – raw, direct, and without regard for trends. Gotec Records is releasing an EP that breathes the spirit of the underground and makes the engine room shake again. TILL I DIE is not a sound for the mainstream – it is a manifesto for all those who live techno and never give up.
For its 6th release, Berlin-based Klangkuenstler returns to his Outworld imprint with the Weltschmerz EP – an ode to a world in turmoil, prophesying that there's light at the end of a pitch-black tunnel. For there's a fire of passion burning brightly within the depth of these two monstrous new tracks. Make no mistake, this is brutal, floor-shaking techno, yet, despite the sheer force, Klangkuenstler captures the emotional essence of our Zeitgeist, shape-shifting moods between raging anger, deep-blue melancholia and glimpses of hope. The EP's title-track 'Weltschmerz' kicks off mercilessly at the light-speed-tempo Klangkuenstler has become synonymous with. As a muscular kick thuds below slashing hats and rust-covered atmospherics, a venomous lead snakes through this airtight framework, unfolding into a moment of unadulterated ecstasy. 'Untergang', meanwhile, bursts of pure energy in tired times, thundering violently towards a bittersweet peak of warehouse-sized euphoria. To put it in a nutshell: Klangkuenstler rings in the end and we're going out with a bang. Though cooked-up for carnage, it's Klangkuenslter's intuition for existentialist contrasts that let the Weltschmerz EP transcend its design purpose to grow into something altogether bigger – touching body, mind and soul alike. The outside world may have ground to halt, but Outworld continues to move.
The Schranzers series returns with its third and most explosive chapter yet. Schranzers Vol.3 captures the raw energy and hypnotic drive that define the new wave of underground hard techno. From distorted industrial grooves to metallic synth lines and relentless percussion, each track embodies the essence of modern Schranz — fast, dirty, and unapologetically powerful. TMBR & CLC deliver a venomous opener with Poison Ivy, Coyote Paul takes the listener on a dark trip with Trip to Rotterdam, and SPRY closes the release with the acidic madness of Signal Lost, blending relentless rhythm and squelching 303 energy into pure chaos. Curated by Schranz Movement, this compilation stands as a testament to the unstoppable evolution of the genre and to the new generation of producers carrying its legacy forward. Welcome to the sound of the underground. Welcome to Schranzers Vol.3. Distributed by Pressology - www.pressology.net

Mad Made is the imprint of SveTec, showcasing both his vision and the genres evolution. Committed to top-tier releases, the label strives to push boundaries and drive the renewal of Hard Techno, delivering fresh energy to the scene with a bold, forward-thinking attitude. Nachtigaller returns to Mad Made with a powerful three-track solo EP, delivering his signature heavy, raw Schranz foundation fused with euphoric, deep-driving melodies.

His unmistakable style adds a fresh angle to the original track, rounding the EP into a fully immersive experience.
Cause Records presents Malign — a fierce new statement from Colombian producer 51CK, featuring Acid Zombeat. Three tracks of relentless industrial power and precision define this release: from the full-impact drums of Bass Go, to the hypnotic tension of Bad Boy, and the hardcore-meets-techno hybrid Bestial Noise. Malign embodies the raw force of the new hard techno generation — dark, surgical, and unstoppable.
El primer lanzamiento de Bucara Acid City Records abre las puertas del sonido underground de Bucaramanga con un homenaje al acid techno. Mind Over Bass reúne la energía hipnótica del 303 con grooves, bajos grandes y distorsionados con una atmósfera intensa que refleja la vida nocturna, la autogestión y el espíritu libre del movimiento techno.

Schranzers Vol.2 pushes the boundaries even further — three tracks forged in pure industrial chaos. From the brutal precision of Lex Digital – Rush, to the relentless pressure of JGMZ – Kick The Bass, and the mechanical destruction of COIL – Buzzard, this chapter is not for the faint-hearted. Each artist delivers a different shade of violence, but all share the same purpose: to make the floor tremble. This is modern Schranz at its rawest form — no compromise, no melody, only pure power. Respect the origin. Join the movement. Distributed by Pressology - www.pressology.net
SPFDJ steps up for her long-awaited debut EP, Heel Thyself, out Friday 7th November on Intrepid Skin. A core figure in grassroots techno circuits, and an internationally lauded DJ, SPFDJs ascent reflects a passion for music governed by love and grit in equal measure. At once providing a gleefully chaotic two-fingers to dance musics self-serious establishment, whilst also flexing an ever-expanding knowledge of its roots and potentials, her musical armoury is renowned the world over for inspiring debauchery and sweat-soaked hedonism. As an artist whose journey has been defined by challenging the norms of electronic music, SPFDJs rebel spirit is recognised locally and globally, but guiding this attitude is a vulnerability to the realities of the music industry, and the rise of conservatism that permeates every aspect of life. And whilst sensitive to the use of buzzwords like community, its ultimately a respect for the people who keep these scenes alive that motivates her artistry. In releasing this EP, she taps into a more vulnerable side. The title - a nod to internal healing processes, and a play on words to motivate queers and women to boot up for battle against increasingly oppressive structures - shines a light on some of the values she holds up to electronic music culture. At once playfully chaotic and deeply energising, Heel Thyself spins us through a cyclone of kicks, punches, and noise. Opener Cluster B Intro is a tempo-twisting barrage of gabber led by a robotic vocal command, setting the scene for pretty much anything to happen. That Stiletto Track kicks in like a tweaked out distortion of 90s trance before spiralling upwards into a storm of heavy breaks. F*ckboi is hot n heavy electro - classic in its structure, but with the added industrial touch of hammerdrill synths and razor sharp percussion. Swinging into a bouncier state, The Hot in Psychotic flings ricocheting rhythms through frantic claps, with a donk to keep things moving. Rounding things off, Mindless Counting flies higher with pummeling drums lifted by a touch of euphoria. A debut laced with both defiance and self-reckoning, Heel Thyself finds the rebel looking inwards - vulnerable, but sharpened and ready.
Nick Slater is back with another stunning EP, brimming with fire and unadulterated power! Black Hole and Event Horizon carry a distinctly uneasy and unnerving deep space vibe, driven by seriously hard, menacing grooves. Both tracks are loaded with modular synths, piercing screeches, filthy acid lines, and distorted kicks, bass, and percussion. If you thrive on the sound of dance-floor darkness, this EP is made for you!
RAVEFLOOR VARIOUS ARTISTS 001 Kicking off the Ravefloor VA series with four heavyweight tracks from four talented artists.

BAIRD delivers Resistance—a no-compromise fusion of Schranz pressure and trance-driven urgency. Raw, fast, and emotionally charged, the rising UK artist carves out his own lane with two relentless cuts built for the edge of the night. Pure intent, zero hesitation.
Strasse Killer delivers relentless, dark techno rooted in industrial, noise, and raw machine energy - born in underground basements, made for the club. The original is cold, industrial-driven techno with distorted synths and merciless intensity. Hefty turns it into a hypnotic banger with dark pads and a driving groove. Silvano Scarpetta takes the track on a deep, psychedelic journey full of atmosphere. Noseda sharpens it into a dark, high-energy tool - hard-hitting, distorted, and uncompromising.
JAKAZiD is back with an EP of reworks that breathe new life into some of his biggest anthems. Last years speed garage-infused Undacova gets the turbo treatment with harder kicks and energy levels cranked up to 11. This VIP mix has been a favourite in JAKAZiDs DJ sets since its inception and is finally seeing the light of day. 2012 classic Funky Town gets a modern facelift from Japanese hardcore titan M-Project, blasting the track into the future with his own distinct bass-centric hardcore style. Closing things off, Technique Checker, previously released on Japanese doujin label Lilium Records receives a fresh mixdown and remaster that gives it extra punch for club sound systems in 2025.
Mad Made is the imprint of SveTec, showcasing both his vision and the genres evolution. Committed to top-tier releases, the label strives to push boundaries and drive the renewal of Hard Techno, delivering fresh energy to the scene with a bold, forward-thinking attitude. For the 56th episode of Mad Made, two powerhouses—Noise Not War and Dirtytech—join forces to deliver a relentless 4-track EP titled Fear The Rhythm. Rooted deeply in the raw spirit of Schranz, this release hits hard with outstanding sound design, uncompromising energy, and driving rhythms that command the dancefloor. A pure statement of force, crafted for peak-time damage. Fear the rhythm! Respect the madness!
