Svarog - Unified Whirl EP The Unified Whirl symbolizes the idea that everything exists in an indivisible connection and an endless stream of consciousness, life, and energy. It reminds us that we are all particles of one whole, interacting with each other and influencing one another. In this whirl of consciousness and life, we understand that every action has consequences, every decision impacts the world around us.

Noise from beyond dives deep into the realms of hypnotic, yet effective techno with "Eastern Philosophy". The artist's Sungate debut features three original spaced-out excursions, paired with two remixes by Mesh Convergence, each more psychedelic than the last.
For the 4th edition of Involve's 'Nightclub Pros' series, Regal once again invites a mix of established and upcoming artists to showcase the bandwidth of the Madrid based label's sound. On the front side, Roll Dann, who made his Involve debut oin the very first Nightclub Pros edition, opens the VA with 'Culebra', a heavy-hitting techno masterpiece with a rolling bassline, tinges of industrial sounds and a driving energetic drum work. Following up, SlugoS delivers the fast-paced, distorted sounding warehouse anthem 'Seconds to Midnight', characterizes by a rumbling kick, a ferocious melody and an ambience reminiscent of the early 2000's Schranz movement. On the back side, Kristian Heikkila teams up with Johan Afterglow, keeping up the energy with their track 'Lies', making the listeners dive into an underground world where distorted and echoing screams penetrate their brains. Up-and-coming producer SWRD, part of the duo ITNA, closes the record with a mystic ride staged by a combination of synths and an ominous piano melody in his track 'Alpha', an epic end to the 4th edition of the NIghtclub Pros series.
After putting out a slew of self-released cuts as LKY, Figure finally gets a hold of the rising techno talent that is Nathan Lockwood. Hailing from the UK, this young talent carries an extensive understanding of Britain's techno lineage, with over a decade of experience in the game both as promoter and DJ. Now fully coming into his own as a producer, LKY's tracks are informed by the loopy nature of his progenitors, while still retaining some of the core dub influences and yet always keeping a propulsive momentum going. On his EP for Figure, title track Symmetry Zone opens with full force, seamlessly intertwining twisting rhythms and searing percussion into a powerful maelstrom of energy. The A2 Chaser is a more reduced take on the formula, rolling out a muscular groove with only a handful of elements, such as precise low-end and some curious synths doing all the work. On the flip, LKY shows a deeper side to his work, focusing on the hypnotic element that he has become known for. Tracking strikes a wonderful balance between the dubby synth stabs and driving claps, while Formed has an almost Deep House-feel to it, imbued with gorgeous warm ambiance and teasing vocal snips. The digital format of X38 comes with bonus track Idle Ride, a deeper, more tribal affair, displaying LKY's versatility as a gifted producer.
Unbelievable deep and driving techno sound of the first hour. this 4 tracker from R.M.K. shows where techno should be. in the here and now, without exaggeration, without bling bling and without polarization. R.M.K. utilises his knowledge and past experiences, which include regularly playing at Berghain and Tresor in Berlin, as well as fabric in London, to develop his individual sound. During his more than 20 year career in music, he has formed friendships and worked in partnership with other respected artists such as Trevino (Marcus Intalex), Jamie Anderson, Robert Owens, Goldie and Nastia. Although the focus is always on the very heart of the most raucous of raves, R.M.K never shies away from groove and funk. This is conveyed in a Live Show that utilises classic hardware from the golden age of UK Rave.
Matthieu Benjamin is set to release his new EP on Adroit Recordings. This EP offers a captivating blend of driving beats and hypnotic synthesizers. With his distinctive combination of innovative sound design and rhythmic prowess, Matthieu Benjamin once again proves himself a master of his craft. The tracks on this EP promise to conquer dance floors and transport listeners into a trance-like state. It's clear that Matthieu Benjamin have created something extraordinary. In addition to Matthieu Benjamin's original tracks, this EP also features a stunning remix by Kmyle. Known for his unique take on techno, Kmyle adds his signature touch to "Depraved".
On this fifth and final installment of the Time Crystals series, GDB takes the first turn with a fierce track, fittingly called Saw; its driving fundament alternated with rousing synths. Pyramidal Decode's second track provides a break from the four to the flour patterns, before handing over to old friend of the label Uun, whose Seeking the End is a true peak time banger. Polish Szmer has the honor to provide not only this EP's last track but also for this entire series. He does so in the form of SEQ3, a track that embodies what Dynamic Reflections 15-year discography stands for in the first place: artists from all corners of the world, young and old, respecting what generations before them have built up while turning it into something new. Eye of Agamotto is part of Dynamic Reflection's 15-year anniversary celebration: Time Crystals. This is the last of the five EP's. Own all five and an all new, visual piece of art will appear.
One of the TOP releases of 2023 on [R]3volution Records is Vol.5 by Michele Mausi [R]3mixes EP, now a must in our catalogue. This release features a remix version of the 4 tracks contained in "Tourette Syndrome EP" released last year, edited by 4 giants of the scene, such as the Belgian talent PTTRNRCRRNT, the Italian genius DIVIDE, the Spanish standard-bearer ENDPLATE and the eclectic Hungarian artist Dave Wincent. Subsequently we find the remix of "Drainer" track included in the VA 'R3VOLUTION H3ROES EP VOL.3' by a great artist of Italian origins based in Berlin ITZAAC (AKA WHT MOTH), and to close a real pearl: the remix of Re_Main by the crystalline talent of RHYTHM ASSEMBLER (AKA MTD) included in the VA 'R3VOLUTION V1KT1MS EP VOL.1'. All artists with previous appearances on our label who reconfirm themselves as absolute protagonists of our roster."

EarToGround is thrilled to present "La Tempestad," a mesmerizing journey into the latest sonic offerings from the highly acclaimed Spanish electronic artist, Ribé. This electrifying release is a testament to Ribé's exceptional mastery of modular sound design within the realm of Techno. Throughout his illustrious career, Ribé has graced renowned labels like PoleGroup, Warm Up Recordings, Klockworks, Hayes, and Faut Section, leaving an indelible mark on the electronic music landscape. "La Tempestad" comprises four compelling tracks that traverse a diverse range of intensity and emotion, each encapsulating a playful yet unapologetically dark atmosphere. Ribé's sonic explorations promise to captivate and intrigue even the most discerning electronic music connoisseurs.
"In an era where technology entwines our everyday existence, where the virtual realm shapes our interactions, and where the pursuit of influence takes centre stage comes an EP that delves deep into the modern tapestry of human existence. 'Modern Survival' is not merely a collection of songs and visual clips, but a poignant reflection on the intricate dance between our primal instincts and the brave new world we navigate today. The EP invites listeners on a journey of self-discovery and reflection, prompting them to ponder the fundamental essence of our existence in an environment of fast-paced technological evolution." - Chlär Chlär now returns to his imprint with solo venture 'Modern Survival'. While the first Primal Instinct release saw references to artist urges and behaviours on social media, this next instalment explores a modern recontextualisation of humanity's hierarchy of needs in yet another high-concept EP. First up, 'Internet Soulmate' boasts a crunchy bassline as its drum work chugs along the track playfully. The groove twists and turns before the hypnotic and tribal 'Supermarket Hunting' continues with sounds of nature, loopy rhythm and syncopated bleeps. On the B-side's 'Body Control Officer', human-made grooves intertwine with machine-like thrum, synths whirring and zapping, while 'Competitive Influencing' takes off with rolling percussion, subtle whistles and distorted vocal one-shots. Closing out another stellar offering from the Primal Instinct frontman, Chlär brings the dark 'Scout My Algorithm', a brooding slow-burner offset by smooth arpeggio snippets and warped slices of digital noise.
Following 2022s Darkness Falls EP, Polish artist, Szmer is back on Ben Sims Symbolism juggernaut with an intoxicating four-tracker in the form of Sequences EP. Sequence 6 sees Szmer lean heavily into dense, sci-fi soundscapes. Woozy but pounding, its peak time and potent in equal measure. Old Times, while more stripped back and gentle in its progression, is no less exhilarating than the EP opener. Raw Thoughts, a gritty and distortion-fuelled exercise in percussive minimalism, pairs nicely with closer October 8, a summing up of the preceding tracks themes and a powerful, late-night rattler.
SHDW's label Mutual Rytm rounds out another year with Symbiosis' - an excellent split EP from Greek artists ANNĒ & Sera J, featuring six fresh cuts and four digital bonuses. The release title comes from the Greek word 'συμβίωσις', which means living closely together for a significant period and can be used to speak of a mutually beneficial interaction between individuals. And that is precisely what can be said of ANNĒ and Sera J, who have grown through life as partners and, more recently, as musical peers. This split EP is their first release alongside one another, and one that presents the story of their innermost feelings, with their full label debut following fine contributions to the label's 'Federation Of Rytm II' compilation back in March. ANNĒ has had a busy few years making her mark with potent techno on labels such as Soma, Hardgroove, and Life In Patterns, while Sera J is just as revered for his tunes on the likes of Out Of Place, DifferentSound and more. ANNĒ takes the A-side, firstly with the fiery diva vocals and thumping techno drums of 'Heal My Soul' and then the more physical and banging drum programming of 'Turn Back Time'. It's a big, metallic cut with rumbling bass and sleek synths peeling off the groove, while her final track 'Zephyrus' has plenty of infectious bounce and eerie pads to keep dancers on their toes. On the flip, Sera J kicks off with the electrifying synth stabs and cantering techno power of 'Blue Dancers' and then offers up 'Common People' as twisted leads and slamming drums all run through with alien sound effects and bright stabs. To close, 'Delusion' is a psychedelic cut with roaming leads that bring plenty of cosmic energy to the unrelenting kicks. In addition, each artist serves up a pair of digital bonuses: ANNĒ with the hurried funk of 'Serene' and loopy intensity of 'Victor', and Sera J with the liquid, dubby dynamics of the hard-hitting 'Intensity' and monstrous energy of 'Bodies Don't Lie.'
In a much-anticipated return to the imprint's catalogue, label head Tommy Four Seven unveils his first solo release in four years: 47039. Lauded as a pioneer of "uncompromising vision" by Resident Advisor, the producer has further honed his tight, technical and highly nuanced palette in a collection that alchemizes rolling techno and plaintive broken beat. Opener "SWORN" is the toughest and most tactile track on the EP, sculpted with searing synth lines that snake through dense percussive thickets. On "IXIAN", Tommy gives a hazy nod to his roots in drum n' bass with a half time groove that splinters with meteoric sweeps and mangled vocals - a readout from beyond. The B-side is still stamped with Tommy's impeccable attention to sound design, yet it turns downwards, mining cavernous and soul-penetrating depths. "CYCLES", an aqueous four-to-the-floor cut that burbles with effervescent chord stabs, offers softer shades that spill into spectral ambient closer "AERIAL". It's a lighter side we rarely hear from the British talent, displaying his tenacity as a far-reaching, constantly evolving artist with a knack for bringing listeners into 47's far-reaching otherworldly fold.
From the atmospheric corners of Argentina, Neen marks a stellar comeback to O'Clock. Following a commendable piece on our previous VA, this time, presents "Crafte" EP. Within this release, the artist channels an essence that pulsates across diverse dimensions - evocative, mysterious and enigmatically cosmic. Picture high-pitched resonances: ancient echoes ricocheting through time, murmurs from a distant time. Neen's hallmark touch weaves in a sci-fi ambiance seamlessly fused with psychedelic undertones, creating a sonic tapestry where each thread is precisely interlaced. This results in a bass-rich allure, pulling you irresistibly towards its modular heart. Dive into this abyss, and welcome the enigma of the unknown. Closing this captivating EP, we joyously welcome back the Portuguese fresh blood, TM and Jesterr. And making his debut on the label, we have the esteemed maestro, Jonas Kopp, gracing us with what can only be described as a usual masterpiece from the Argentinian master mind.
Kastil, aka of the spanish Mario Castillo, is well known and especially for his role as a producer of furious and intricate techno works with a high industrial influence. But at 30D we like that our close people (and Kastil is very close, since he is responsible for the mastering of all our label's releases) have absolute freedom to release what they consider appropriate, here is a clear example: Mario leaves aside his usual four-to-the-floor vision to immerse himself -completely on purpose- into classic IDM and into the most beautiful, musical and even epic electronica. Only one of the four tracks that conform the EP ('Polymorphic') clearly looks to the dance floor although it shares, along with the three remaining tracks, the artist's passion for the timeless sound of the 90's. QuadroQuill EP will be released on 30D Records' sub-label ExoPlanets, in both, vinyl (strictly limited edition) and digital format.

Juan Mendez aka Silent Servantis a figure in techno history that needs little introduction. As a member of the Sandwell District collective and the label's art director he collaborated on works that were responsible for a global focal shift in the genre as their label adapted and challenged the paradigm of minimal techno, taking influence from other sources such as dub, post-punk, and even classical minimalism. But Mendez's relationship with music goes back much further than these seminal releases. With In Memoriam, Silent Servant's latest release on Tresor Records, Mendez writes a deeply personal memoir of a 30-plus year career spent exploring and absorbing the shadowy side of music; a carefully crafted elegy to people, places, and times past and the lasting effect they have on the present. Across the four tracks, Mendez pays tribute to the earliest Detroit techno and electro, the Belgian EBM movement and the wave music that followed, the monumental dub techno sound from Berlin, and the harder, abrasive sound of the UK at the turn of the last millennium; exploring and referencing the genres that informed his later work. Each track name gives a hint to the timeframe he is revisiting and re-contextualising the E.P. repurposes the styles that exerted an influence on him. This E.P. represents a pure distillation of Mendez's memories whilst also cementing his place in the current and future sound of 21st century techno; aware of where we came from but focusedon where we are heading.
Second release on [R]3volution Uncod3d for iBOT, a talented artist of Italian origins in constant progression with his musical research, who since his debut on our label last year, has collected several releases on other renowned labels in the scene, such as TMM, Subsist, Diffuse Reality, Concepto Hipnotico, Corpus Black just to name a few. The title of his new release is Density & Shape. Mastered by MD MASTER LAB info.mdmasterlab@gmail.com
With a string of releases on prestigious labels such as The Gods Planet, Affin, Edit Select and Circular Limited - the London-based Acaera (formerly Basis Change) has become a reputable name in the realm of hypnotic techno. We are truly honoured to get to present this EP as our labels first release, and we hope to return Acaeras trust in us with the pressing of a beautifully packaged limited edition vinyl alongside the digital release. The EP is characterised by great depth and atmosphere through the rolling enchantment of Apex and the off-kilter percussion and shifting grooves of Anaesthesia. Learned Behaviour is a track of slow revelation, pulling the listener mesmerically through its unfolding landscape. Forella will resonate with those who know Acaeras signature sound, with broken rhythm work soaked in beautiful pads. Created by our resident artist, the cover artwork presents an unfolding succulent photographed from an unusual perspective. Here, the roots appear sprawling and grasping across the frame, evoking a tone that perfectly captures the mood of the record, whilst maintaining a level of mystique and ambiguity.
Kuiper Noise crashes the company's Christmas party with yet another musical sortie by techno troublemaker Holldën - the label's founder -, who dishes out a fiery assortment of groove-infused bangers, neatly wrapped in sky high beat fuel and infectious cuts with a funky twist on the side. The EP is comprised of four tracks - 'Landmesser', 'Mess Me Up', 'Ride The Tiger' and 'A Legacy Of Rhythm' -, a tight bunch of hair raisers condensed into an aura of dancefloor effectiveness.

Strong rhythms, high speeds, deep synth lines, but with that classic Detroit touch that we like so much. Unexpected cartwheels and powerful percussion give presence and personality to each of the tracks that make up this release.

A driving force in the techno scene since the mid-90s, Oliver Ho originally made a name for himself alongside Regis, Surgeon and James Ruskin as part of the new breed of British techno that drew inspiration from not only the techno scene but the rich heritage of industrial and post-punk music from the U.K. After numerous guises including Raudive, Birdland, and Zov Zov, Ho looked back to those early influences with the start of his Broken English Club project. Debuting on the then-fledgling label Jealous God, which had been set up by Silent Servant, Regis, and James Ruskin, Ho's first EP, 'Jealous God #4', appeared in 2014 and saw him referencing the likes of Throbbing Gristle, D.A.F., and Psychic TV. A split follow-up with Silent Servant came a few months later as the 'Violence and Divinity EP', which appeared on Veronica Vasicka's Cititrax label. Buoyed by the success of the EPs, Ho returned to Cititrax with the release of 'Scars'; in 2015 and a fully-fledged album, 'Suburban Hunting', a few months later. That same year, Ho took Broken English Club into a live setting with shows in Moscow and at Berlin's Berghain as part of Regis's Downwards showcase. 2016 saw Ho pushing his sound into more extreme territories with the release of the 'Myths of Steel and Concrete'; single on his own Death & Leisure label. At the beginning of 2017, he returned to Jealous God, offering up the 16th release on the label, which this time saw him embracing 80s new beat and EBM into his now-signature sound as Broken English Club. The sophomore album, 'The English Beach', which appeared on L.I.E.S. was released a few months later. The album saw Ho bringing together the industrial and minimal wave elements of his earlier releases, while adding EBM and techno flavours to the mix. [Rich Wilson, Rovi] Now Oliver Ho brings his Broken English Club to James Ruskin' Blueprint label with the 'Puritan EP'
" Klint return to Molecular Recordings is marked by a resonant blend of techno timeless elements. The release features driving percussion, tense synth lines, and percolating rhythms, creating an immersive experience.

With a pulsating, peak-time techno groove, this release showcases four succinct yet impactful tracks "
Hans Berg and Johanna Knutsson have been working together since 2014. They run the label UFO Station Recordings which featured their first collaborative EP Little Raver. Since then, they've continuously released on the label with remix cameos by artists like Inland, Dungeon Acid, Psyk and Efdemin. For their new Exquisite Corpse release theyve drawn influence from the eponymous surrealist game. The rules of the game are simple: Players draw in turn on a sheet of paper, fold it to conceal the drawing, and then pass it to the next player for a further contribution. Although the musical folds were audible to them, Johanna and Hans wanted to see what happened when a song gets remixed over and over by the same people. The result: a highly infectious EP that is a melting pot of ideas that get reused, remade or discarded with each fold.
Continuing his commitment to the supply of top-quality avant-garde Techno music, Berliner Marcel Fengler's IMF (Index Marcel Fengler) imprint steadies itself for the third in a series of impressive compilation releases, welcoming some of techno's most uniquely talented producers to the fore with a selection of robust underground jams. Kicking things off with renowned Indian artist Arjun Vagale, you get your first slice of ferocity on the ravenous 'Delta Drive' serving pacy techno with an ominous sci-fi feel before Suara frontman Coyu's 'Deliberate Assault' continues the raw and racy theme, flooding the track with thumping drums and piercing percussive intensity throughout. UVB's 'Shinkansen' comes next, breaking up the five tracks with an expressive fusion of vibes, combining dreamy melodic layers with hard-hitting, stripped-back grooves to deliver a refreshingly unique endgame. The Sixth Sense then plunges things back into the depths with 'Regret', building around an intricate arrangement of warped samples and hooking rhythmic phases before MarAxe arrives to seal the release with 'Alada' and its atmospheric blend of looping vox chops, ravey synths, hissing hat grooves and hammering kicks, rounding off the release with a relentless ebb and flow of peak-time industrial techno prowess.

This is the last album from Rico Puestel. After somehow three decades, Rico misses the cultural impact of Techno music as it has been and declares its spirits gone - at least personally. There's nothing more to tell. The self-consuming scene has reached its grotesque climax and left an empty shell of something once filled with so much passion, warmth, strength, heart and hope. The times just haven't changed - they lost their self-fulfilling purpose and authenticity. Heavily influenced by prehistoric, tribal rhythms and trance-inducing dances within redundant structures, Techno music once had a natively true and unadulterated essence. A free spirit on the run. Rico found the right spot in time to gather all of his origins in Techno music for a last act of connecting to it. Being on an all-time high as a producer, he crafted the whole album on a course of twelve hours and relived all those deeply rooted moments and memories with Techno in fast motion. While the track titles are counting down from ten to zero in Esperanto, Rico clears up in peace and balance... What once was, is now without form and void. I left. Everybody left. Techno has left the building. Farewell!
Lisbon is undergoing a lot of changes but its substance cant be stopped. Record label Paraiso reminds us of that with its 12th release by label co-founder Shcuro who strips things back to assert what truly remains however much time may pass. It Lasts Forever is the producers ode to structural things in his inner life that will keep flowing on unchanged, be it the love for his wife; his reverence to techno - hence the use of classic drum machines like Rolands 909, 808 and 707; to friendship and community - having one of his dearest mates Steffi take part via the remixer chair. Dubbed-out, expertly sound-sculpted stabs punctuate Together alongside a 808 boom bass, vocal cut-ups creating a versatile, instant classic vibration to open the EP. U.N.I. takes us on a stroll to jacking rhythms in its fast-paced, tom-heavy fusion of rawer techno traditions and dub techno realness. We Are Eternal delves deeper into sonic themes of bliss, gratefulness and hope, taking us on an emotional journey that feels smooth and intense at once. Utter legend of all things dance music Steffi picks up the opening track and adds propulsive percussion and further melodic elements to it, creating the perfect gem to close this record.

Portuguese techno master Lewis Fautzi returns home after a while with his trademark rugged and solid techno. For this release he provides four cuts of heavily pressurized dj tools, starting with Total Absence, starting with a solid groove spiced with bass enforced frequencies, the intensity grows as the bars go by using additional percussive layers and electrified drones floating over the beat. Paranoia comes next, clean and solid drums, elastic sequences and high pitched atmospheres collide in another mental workout. On the B side, Ground State provides another interpretation, in a more shuffled approach in the rhythms, precisely distorted and with the aid of a bleepy detail that appears from beyond the spectrum. Closing the Ep, Uncertainty is the most rugged exercise in this release, once again distortion is wisely used and the approach is more industrial than the previous cuts. One more proof of the expertise of this fundamental producer in today's serious techno scene.

The Basque artist Judy makes his debut on N&N with this ep called Piztia, an authentic work of art that is made solely and exclusively for the dance floor, clean, deep and fast sounds that, together with the remix of one of the kings of groove, The Italian Hertz Collision makes this work a real bomb.
It's a love song! A story of love has arisen between two artists; *Jesper Dahlback* and *Nima Khak*, hailing from the deepest roots of techno music: Together we have agreed on a conceptual framework. Two have become one. We are the *Naan Boys*. The story is about the relationship between the artists and the work. Love is a projection based on an idea. In this case, the idea is the pursuit of the perfected techno sound. The love story will stay with us for life because what we have created has changed us forever. The relationship transforms a person and alters the perception. The World looks a little different now. We have entered the creative process on equal terms. It is an interaction where we have created our own world with our own language. Bold and risk-taking. At times we have lost our minds and become inconsiderate, asking ourselves what we are trying to do. There is trust. We confirm and invite each other. One action triggers another. Sometimes we operate simultaneously. Sometimes we get lost, but we find our way back as the vision guides us forward. We have had to allow ourselves to be naive. Open to revising our understanding of individual notions of what a color, a tone, or a sound might be. We have agreed that we want to create the perfect sound. The perception of what perfect is has turned out to result in several nuances that we shared. The nuances have been accepted or rejected. The process of creation has involved dialing in, revising, erasing, and redrawing. Try again and again. Naan Boys have created a love child. It's a love song!

Kontakt brings back a long sought-after classic made many moons ago by label family member J.S.Zeiter under his JS moniker. The track has been carefully restored directly from the original master tape and then remastered. Mark Broom's signature treatment incorporates tight drum programming and driving percussion which lift the track to another dimension.
Closely following a busy 2023, GiGi FM announces her brand-new record label, offering "Kiwi Synthesis Diary Vol. 2" to mark the debut. Sea~rène takes aim at dreamlike and ethereal electronic music to reconnect the subconscious and the cosmos through immersive storytelling. As the identity quote of the label says itself "We are Sea~rène swimming in-between supernatural tides, forever following the emotional waves of the universe". With "Kiwi Synthesis Diary Vol.2", GiGi gives us a bent club record full of colours and life, giuding us through dreams of sonic environments and the adventures to be had through them. Deeply influenced by astrology, philosophy, and the cosmos; for GiGi, music is both a tool for expression and introspection. As a multi-hyphenate artist, she continues on her quest to push artistic boundaries and hold space for unique audience experiences. Whatever medium she may adopt, the result is a rich embodiment of the interconnectedness of sound, colour, movement, and metaphysics.
Avoiding any digital element, Velve develops a new signature sound on ANALOG with two analog synthesizers and her voice alone, creating hard 4/4 kicks and stylish oscillator emulations, which organically condense into complex percussive and ambient structures. In terms of concept and content the album is provocative - with ANALOG Velve wants to make a statement against the imminent standardization in art and music through artificial intelligence. "What began as a hype is now becoming a threat to many people's livelihoods, to freedom of expression and opinion, to our democracy." Velve plays shockingly beautifully with cyborg and gender effects on ANALOG, e.g. in LUCA and CHAMPAGNE, and sings about AI replacing us and hurling us into equanimity. The album deals with the resulting social alienation, and Velve's soul-soothing voice sweeps through her songs like diamond dust. The album cover features a coin with Velve's likeness - as a symbol for the value of human creative achievement.
The inaugural release, 'Time Dilation EP', consists of six original tracks by Jero Clares featuring a remix by Berlin-based artist Casual Treatment as a special guest for this initial experiment. The concept of the album is rooted in the captivating notion of temporal dilation, exploring the varying perceptions and alterations of time according to circumstances and different states of consciousness. It aims to transmit temporal and transformative experiences, creating a sonic journey where time expands and contracts fluidly.
We are super proud to receive Ruman into the spaceship. It was about time to invite him to join us after his impressive works in labels we respect a lot like Subsist for example. He gives us no less than fifteen merciless tools, all of them made with a minimal recipe with a few components in the game, usually a well constructed rhythm and a single complex sequence. Add some distortion and a superb sound design and you have it. This is not a concept album, all the exercises here are meant to be used and abused, they cry to be played in the loudest sound system possible, they are made to dance, to set your body free, to sweat and get lost. You won't find ambient interludes here, nothing non physical, nothing elusive or to be reflexive, here it's all about dynamics and physicality. To write some lines about each of these tracks will result in almost an unreadable book and as we said this is not made to think about it but to react about it as a player or as a dancer. We just invite you to embrace this adventure into senseless dance and be as happy as we are releasing it.
Judy presents a thoughtfully crafted EP featuring four tracks tailored to conquer the dancefloor. With an artful blend of energy and complex sonic layers, this release maintains a delicate equilibrium, promising a sweaty dancing experience without compromising its mental depth.
For Token's 120th release, the imprint reintroduces scene favorite ORBE for another EP. Revered for his deep and viscous textures over stark rhythms, the Spaniard furthers his point in four calculated and layered examples. Opening with deeply filtered synth work, ORBE takes his time to subtly introduce shrill tension in the first track, displaying control in a progressive arrangement. He's quickly able to accentuate his intention with a single stab, providing a shimmer and a sharp edge to a rounder-bodied record. Turning over to Andromeda 2, we switch to a dryer lead with a convoluted ambiance, giving a driving track more structure through contrasted transitions. ORBE intensifies the rest of the cut with an electrifying noise circling around the mainland of his identifiably layered work. Alleviating some harshness from the main components, the artist dives into a more liquid and cavernous environment. Pressing through with sustained keys, ORBE continues to evoke a sense of suspense even in his more adventurous tracks. Anticipation rises and falls with the sustain of his resonant lead, taking us to the final chapter of Andromeda. To round off the cosmic voyage our artist departs with what, in the beginning, seems like another intimidating presentation of thick synthlines whipping across a steady rhythm - but then comes a surprisingly ethereal pad, oscillating throughout Andromeda 4, to indicate a safe arrival from a nail-biting story.
Peer once again proves itself capable of exploring the outer limits of techno without deviating too far from that which makes it what it is. The Examination EP [Peer 006] consists of four tracks by the promising Annika Wolfe. It somehow manages to break from the labels norm so far while sounding like music that couldnt have landed anywhere else. The title track opens the effort, and what an examination it is. The concept stands out as a case study of how carefully restrained melodies can play well with artful noise. Reverbed, undulating chime synths fall like droplets in a deluge of entropy that seems to mimic the unceremonious reality of time and space. Fusion fires back its rebuttal in a familiar, robotic language with metallic hits that hold the listeners attention long enough for suspenseful atmospheres to creep in. The breakdown signals something of an upheaval. When the bass and kick drums return, their curious rearrangement resolves a subtle, underlying tension. Next on the tracklist is the crowd-pleasing Induced. Defined by a percussive groove whose swing is emphasized by synth stabs at irregular, polyrhythmic intervals, the single is split into two acts each of which sees tension slowly rise to the forefront of the stereo image. Sterile concludes the EP on an eerie note, an audible longing ringing out in its suspenseful tones. The kick and bass underneath remain static for all but the breakdown. The resulting sense of permanence brings a necessary finality to a record that otherwise feels like it ought to go on forever. The Examination EP certainly brings new ideas to Peer, but it signals no dramatic departure for the label. With every release, Peer demonstrates its understanding of techno more as a philosophy than a rigid range of sounds. Annika Wolfe found a fitting home for her recordings on the increasingly established imprint.
Ohm & Kvadrant take you on seducing dub-voyage with harmonic chords, driving rhythms and tape delays. This is the perfect hypnotic cut to put into your mix at the very highlight of your dub set. Steve O'Sullivan strips it down and gives us a minimal dubby Bluetrain groover and then you know the score.
Amine Kohb lands on Devotion Records. His new EP Cyclique is an exercise in seriousness. Through six original tracks, the Parisian shows his most characteristic sound delving into hypnotism. The proposal is clear, with mental loops and spatial melodies that take you to another dimension on the dance floor. Master by Lucas Freire
James Ruskin's Blueprint Records welcomes Setaoc Mass to the label's ever-increasing roster of techno artists. As a DJ and producer, Setaoc Mass is part of a select cut of young artists who are absorbing techno's legacy and carrying the torch into tomorrow. Whilst overseeing his own imprints, SK_eleven and SKX, his releases push a galvanising brand of techno steeped in a sense of urgency, ever-propulsive with acute detailing and nods to a futuristic space-age. As a selector, the Mancunian's extended DJ sets pull from an expansive spectrum of material both new and old.
Great return on [R]3volution Records for this pure Portuguese talent with numerous appearances on our label.

This fourth EP in the Time Crystals series sees Troy returning to the label with a low-key driver, carried by sharp percussion and filtered chords that keep the attention locked in before Ukrainian Svarog and Ma-gooch take over, delivering their signature sound – evolving pads, dreamy soundscapes – resulting in yet another beautiful early hours piece of music. Wonderchild Luigi Tozzi proves once again that he is a master at blending ambient-influences with dubby atmospheres, resulting in music that fits both dancefloors and living rooms. For the EP's forth track Jonas Körbl, who you might remember from his debut album in 2017 on Dynamic Reflection LTD, combines energetic percussion patterns and synth rhythms. His Primal Grade is a seemingly perfect successor to Tozzi's Haboob, as both artists obviously take pride in their carefully arranged and modestly performed pieces of techno. Equilibrium is part of Dynamic Reflection's 15 year anniversary celebration: Time Crystals. This is the fourth of five EP's. Own all five and an all new, visual piece of art will appear.

What a comeback for the label SWAY and all the new Hertz releases. Supported by so many DJs, like Umek, Coyu, Uncertain, Carl Cox, Christian Smith, Wehbba to name just a few of a long list.

The second track "Lush Pad" comes in three shapes, one emotional techno original, a deep dub techno version and a beautiful ambient reprise. A little something for everyone.
Amorphic continues his deeper sci-fi work on the Morph sub-label with 2 spaced out trips of the purest deep techno. Both versions feature heavy lows ends and very hypnotic elements. Part I features lush pads that feel in some way to some of Vinces deep pads under his own name. Part II is a much trippier and sci-fi workout with huge efx and bleeps along the way. Proper deep journeys from start to finish.
Alarico debuts on Klockworks with a flawless four tracker of classy yet gritty pure driving techno.The Milan based DJ and producer Alarico started his journey in 2015 with a style strongly shaped by the raw and forward-leaning sound of 90s Techno. Known for fast paced rhythms and kinky grooves he left his signature on labels such as Newrhytmic Records, Mutual Rytm, his imprint Katana Records and he now continues to explore the depths and possibilities of sound with his debut on Ben Klocks Klockworks. Over four tracks he cycles between classy, minimalistic effectiveness and rough edged grimy vibes perfectly matching the labels sound with his unique take on techno. The EP kicks off with the raw stomping groove of AF 97 building up the tension to be followed by the unstoppable rolling drift of Chromo, while on the flip-side Lost In Lima takes the listener on a sonic journey of frenetic tribal rhythms and closing track Nisba is a restless techno track showcasing droning, hypnotic sound design and effortless elegance.

Marco Brunos focus as an artist is to transmit, to communicate, to forge a whole from elements that are both corporeal and transcendental, to conjure up a sonic and emotional scene that is diverse, pure and free. From his early influences, this prodigious artist began his creative journey selecting records as resident for many clubs of his native region Apulia (South of Italy). In those years he experienced the essence of growth: patience, determination and charisma generated the perfect dynamism allowing him to cross the national border performing in the most respectable European capitals. His productions, which are defined more by feeling than by genre, contain glints of Ambient, broken beats, Techno, but stand apart from specific classification: mindset is geared towards versatility, completeness. Milestones of his discography are the records released on Ben Sims' platforms: Symbolism, Hardgroove and Machine: a project curated by Ben himself and Kirk Degiorgio that will see Marco alongside giants like Luke Slater, Robert Hood, Function, Oscar Mulero, Steffi and many more. Surfing on the exploration's waves Marco Bruno brings to life his own label Evighet (etymologically coming from Swedish and meaning 'Eternity'): a journey focused on describing identity shades, an anthropological storytelling format focused on how human personalities could evolve and define themselves on time. This is the most transcendental vision of Evighet in which Marco Bruno's aim is to outline his interpretation of Electronic Music into an undefined temporal space. The project will see Marco involved also outside the clubs scenario, composing music for theatrical projects (and not only), effectively opening at the best his frontiers as a storyteller.
Long-term friend of the label Distant Echoes drops back in for the second half of his beguiling 'Passerella' release. Over six tracks an emotional journey unfolds with the storytelling skills of a true electronic disciple. Continuing the wide-ranging sonic foundation of part one, the understated Italian producer turns in some of his most daring work to date, boosting off with the bass heavy machine-drum and vocal extractions of 'Listen To Me'. Manipulation of the human voice is also explored on the gorgeous broken-beat textures of 'Della Voce', while the minimalistic 4-4 techno throb the veteran producer is well known for is expertly delivered on both 'Joints' and 'Scribes'. With resolution and tonal harmony two pure ambient tracks, 'Passerella' and 'Blessing' round off a 12-track trek through a verdant forest of sound. Artwork is provided by regular label collaborator and producer Fred Mann. Mastered by Inland.
Gentian, Brälles new alias, debuts on Sungate with 'Intolerable Cruelty,' a 5-track sonic voyage through the fusion of atmospheric soundscapes, immersive textures, and driving rhythms. A delicate balance between euphoria and introspection.
Delsin welcomes Spanish techno icon Reeko to their Cameron series. Pushing his impressive take on techno for the past 20 years he keeps re-inventing himself, with a recent move on Berlin's Samurai Music presenting a full drum & bass EP as perfect example of this. And also here for Delsin, it's a fresh approach exploring new sides of techno. It's broken and wiggly with dreamy riffs tying it all together. Uplifting mountain valley techno combined with stepping off-beat kick drum jams. It's a flawless pack where Reeko shows he's capable of creating playful heads down techno of any kind.
