On Figure X45 we are presenting a new up and coming artist, Jancen. With only a handful releases under his belt, this promising young dutchman delivers immaculate productions that veer between the deep and the jacking, always powerful and driving but with a strong sense of groove pervading throughout. His opener Quintessence leans on the hypnotic side, distilling the effect of a mesmerizingly simple loop reduced to the beauty of its essential elements. Racking up the momentum is tightly bouncing Elusive, riding a funky acid riff that transforms the track into one of those unexpected moments of raising the energy mid-set. On the B-side, Jancen showcases his talent of building mind-expanding dub-techno excursions, as the echoes of Diminished Dub roll out while even packing some proper propulsive percussion on top! Final track Unattributed takes us way down the rabbit hole into atmospheric trippy territory as searing hats pave the path ever further into the belly of the beast. For buyers of the digital package, Frostbite sits somewhere in between all of the above, combining sparse stabs of resonant synths with thumping kicks and a pumping rhythm to find that complex equilibrium of depth and charge. Stay tuned for more tracks from Jancen to keep you warm later this winter, coming right here on Figure.
Pyramidal Decode returns home after his Logical Interference EP from 2022, his soundcrafting has evolved significantly since then and now its time to provide us with a full length album, traveling across many sound paths, from completely beatless to pure floor action. Nine tracks that are meant to be listened in a row, telling a sonic story, carefully crafted and arranged a crescendo that starts from static bleeps and textures to broken rhythms across pure gymnastic tools and ending again in a relaxed mood. On the first four tracks the sound is minimal and scientific, starting with Climate Change, a solitary reverberated bleep spiced with micro noises going into the sci fi inspired Novel Entities, beatless but intense, ideal to be used as a mixing tool with a proper beat. Next comes Stratospheric Ozone Depletion floaty and liquid, the pure sound of non gravity. Action starts with Atmospheric Aerosol broken fast groove, heavy sub bass action and shuffled percussive work make this track the perfect tool for igniting any proper club. Ocean Acidification is a no remorse modern techno workout, direct to your feet but with a mental approach while Biogeochemical Flows goes martian and bleepy in a kind of futuristic interlude, bringing us to stress and dance again with Freshwater Use phrenetic and hypnotic all in one. Land-System Change slows down the pace, bringing the broken rhythms again and also employing bleeps and elastic resonant sound to start the descending from outer space. Finally, Biosphere Integrity brings us to the quiet and beatless feeling in a beautiful IDM exercise spice with subtle acid sequences.

High-energy Techno naturalist Boyca aka Miro Lopasso delivers a thundering seance of restlessly cycling drum patterns, mangled chord mantras, and ghostly vocal incantations for...is serving no. 7. Across four crushing renditions, The Queeralizer unveils a relentless brand of raw dancefloor physicality with remixes by Rexer and Nymed. The Queeralizer unveils a booming vortex of chord-driven, no-frills Techno. Cycling through rapid-fire drum structures and a detuned chord theme, the tracks four-to-the-floor framework gives way to eerie exhales and spaced-out vocal chops that echo across the pounding substructure like shuddering spectres lost in low-end worship. Rexers rendition transports The Queeralizer to a cavernous realm of strobing pulsars and crystalline synth nebulae, transposing the originals pulsing darkness into otherworldly energy arcs. Yes Sir strikes a jazzier, more groove-focused chord. With cycling waves of squelchy blips and mangled vocal chops, Yes Sir unfolds a slow-burning hypnosis framed by staccato waves of drum machines and darkly oscillating atmospheres. Nymeds Greedy Mix deconstructs Yes Sir into an array of mangled frequency bands, reforming the original into an overdriven thunderstorm of crackling chord chops, martial impacts, and blown-out drums. For…is serving no. 7, Boyca delivers a clinic in no-frills, all-power Techno, deep, dark, and powerfully hypnotic. An immersive and crushingly physical dancefloor totem is served.
Aussie techno innovator Alpharisc returns to Mutual Rytm for a second standout EP. Shane Yates, aka Alpharisc, has been living and breathing techno for over 30 years. He first began producing in the mid-90s and has amassed a fine hardware collection that lends his sounds a raw, rugged feel. After breaking through with the Wetmusik party and label collective, he has let his music do the talking and isnt afraid of colouring it with a hint of nostalgia. Previous material has come via several notable labels over the years, but his most recent outings have been on SHDWs Mutual Rytm imprint, with his solo EP Ram Face from 2023 becoming an underground favourite alongside a fine outing as part of the labels Federation Of Rytm II and Federation Of Rytm III compilations. Once again, he returns in style, uncovering an impactful selection of gems across his new Remain Seated EP. The opener Peace Be With You is a straight-up techno weapon with urgent synth flashes peeling off the groove like a police siren. The drums hit hard in true Alpharisc style before Hail builds on that with a more hard-edge groove topped with frosty waves of white noise that electrify the dance floor. Remain Seated brings a hint of trance-leaning energy with its bright sheets of synth lighting up the driving drums and saw-tooth bass loops. Next, Look At This is another brilliantly forceful techno sound with slamming drums and rusty synth loops, layering melancholic pads up top and adding a cerebral edge, while closer In Your Mind is from the Jeff Mills school of synth-laced and serene deep techno with lush pads radiating cosmic light. As a bonus, digital-only cut Expedition brings some backlit celestial synth work to a rubbery and pummelling drum pattern for pure techno escapism.
Centered around the concept of fuzz gathering, Ford collects, analyses, and manipulates various sonic elements using innovative techniques and processes. Each track offers a fresh perspective of his sound, blending intricacies with experiments to create a unique auditory experience. Complementing the music is Fords own artwork, which visually mirrors the EPs theme of exploring and deconstructing textures, adding another dimension to this creative expression.
Keep your friends close, Bas Dobbelaer must have thought when he asked a few gifted producers to remix his recent ambient work. Five tracks from his beautiful and intimate Binding Elements-album (2023) were pushed in new directions by befriended producers and colleagues such as Moon Patrol, Will Oirson and Leif. The latter turns Submerge into a melodic minimalist piece which pays homage to both Susumo Yokota and Steve Reich. Swiss-born producer Ben Kaczor goes 4x4 on Irregular, pushing the dreamy original towards Giegling territory in a good and meditative way. Dwaalgast extrapolates the dub elements in the title track Binding Elements while Brooklyn duo Moon Patrol takes things even deeper on their bass heavy remix of Rise. Closing track Ray gets a wonderful sun-bleached ambient treatment by the talented Will Oirson. All five remixes breathe new life in the original versions while retaining their unique magic. Thats what friends are for.

Imirim ventures into distorted atmospheres with thumping kicks, while Pirituba adds an airy, atmospheric feel that sweeps through with woozy elements. The melodic Lauzane stands out with dreamy, delayed soundscapes, offering a more introspective moment before the spacey intensity of Antioco rounds out the EP. Remixes on Mandaqui bring fresh interpretations, with DisX3s shuffling hats and its hypnotic sine bassline, and Nicolas Voglers minimalistic approach stripping tracks down to their essence. Each rework adds unique flavors to the mix. Mandaqui is a must-have for those seeking dynamic, floor-shaking techno.

Berlins Mike Dehnert debuts on Victor Calderone & Avisions MATTER+ imprint with Berlin Rush, a 3-track EP comprising a range of raw, floor techno; the signature sound of the Fachwerk Records boss. The deep & dubby Shadow York starts things off, and features chopped-up, effected background vocals & synths that rise & recede throughout, creating a chilled-out hypnosis. The title track Berlin Rush follows, with stabbing synths & jacking percussion combining to form a smooth groove. The energy peaks with the closer Isotope, as it showcases a swinging bassline & hypnotic, textured loops that one could imagine Dehnert featuring heavily during his infamous live sets.

A collection of driving techno, bleeps, organ stabs, dark subs and inspiration from the sounds of Detroit.

Included in this acidic burner of a release is : - Atom Soldiers, an unearthed, thought-provoking acid gem recorded in the late 1990s - Signal 303 features Mike dusting off his TB-303 to create an incredible new gem. - Resonator (Adam X Pumped Edit), Originally released on Defective Records in 1997 and fetching a fortune on Discogs.

Prophet is proud to present the next release with the Italian based talent Pomposo & E8 Machine and his Escape EP, which includes 4 amazing tracks. Escape Reverse beats and zaps create a frenetic texture that fuels an unconventional track. Rata Race Repetitions and automatisms with Detroit sounds bring together radiant elements that blend together in a mix of emotions. Erase Rules broken! Everything works properly in this granulation of scratchy and rough elements. Shining harmonics and broken loops. Prime Chaos and Order are the same thing.

Through minimalist composition and with the utmost attention to detail, AgainstMe is contributing a record on the Greek label that is fresh and efficient, maintaining his strong sonic identity to cement himself as a rising player in the global Techno scene with an undisputed ear for what really makes people move.
Amid a crossfire of colorless carbon copies of a long-forgotten idea, Jason Patricks latest effort makes a luminary statement. The Images of Light EP arrives by way of Bay Area electronic music label Peer. Each of its five tracks casts a purposeful shadow across the boundless void that is modern techno. Xpx997 ushers in the effort with uncanny brightness for a cut otherwise defined by dissonance and atonal foley effects. Radiant bursts rip through a layer of exospheric noise, halted by an organic drum groove at the hearth of the soundscape. Next on the EPs tracklist is the psychedelic yet functional Code Cracking. A metallic orator laments over its digital shackles on the high end while borderline Gregorian atmospheres seem to taunt it from below. Only in the final few bars do the two reconcile. Foreshadow portrays the precise sonic imagery suggested by its title. Subtle and slow burning, a coarse veil of tension wafts its way down from overhead, flickering madly like negative film reel footage of a wind-hewn flame. Eliciting an immediate visceral reaction is the exceptionally produced Off World. It leads with dissociative oscillations, ratcheting up the intensity with each new layer added to the arrangement. By the time a unique double breakdown cuts through the cacophony, haunting mechanical whispers fill the tracks negative space. Interpretation closes out the Images of Light EP on a sullen note. Cold ambiance lays an unshakeable foundation for this contemplative palette cleanser. As the occasional stereo artifact rattles its way up and down the dynamic range, the listener is left to reflect on all that theyve taken in. Only Peer could provide a home for an artistic statement like the Images of Light EP. Well into its third year, the imprint has eked out a niche in the refined yet experimental range of the electronic music spectrum. Contributions such as that of Jason Patrick project a bright future out ahead for Peer and its tight-knit community of supporters.
WNDLL makes a powerful debut on Gem Records with the Construction EP, delivering a trio of dark, immersive techno tracks that showcase his distinctive sound.

South African techno producer Daryn Steytler adds his own twist to Construction with a hypnotic remix, blending deep atmospheric elements with his signature pulsating energy. The EP is further enriched by two original cuts-Pieken, a gritty and intense journey through evolving textures, and Retention, a track that layers brooding basslines with haunting melodies, highlighting WNDLLs production versatility. This release is a striking introduction to a promising new talent in the techno scene.
Asymmetric boss Inigo Kennedy returns to his label with an intriguing five track EP Calm In The Storm. The title track Calm In The Storm sets the mood with a mournful yet calming pad that rises and falls against a solid four-to-the-floor driving rhythm. Peculiar Turns follows in quirky fashion; off kilter beats and mysterious sonic fragments coming and going. Rumble Strip centres the release; a booming rhythm, undulating percussion and waves of arpeggio. Next up is Scotch Mist, an altogether darker affair setting tinges of drum and bass against a playful melody. To finish is Pulse Dialing, an organic toe-tapper of pure techno minimalism; sonic solace if ever there was a better way of putting it.

Echoes Basement is a work that unfolds as a sonic map of the deepest and most hidden nooks and crannies of big cities, those spaces where life goes on in silence, far from public view, but that pulsate with a unique and enveloping energy. Throughout five tracks, Darkduction offers a detailed exploration of these hidden and inaccessible places, inspired by the cold urban nights where darkness takes on greater prominence, becoming another character within the soundscape. This EP not only reflects the mystery and density of the most forgotten urban areas, but also captures the duality of these spaces: places where the industrial and the human are mixed, generating an atmosphere full of contradictory emotions. On the one hand, there is the feeling of isolation and desolation, but on the other, the constant pulsation of subway life that never stops moving, creating a vibrant contrast between the apparent silence and the hidden bustle. The five tracks that make up Echoes Basement are designed to take the listener on a deep and meditative journey. From the first sound, there is a subway tension that gradually builds, fueled by heavy, repetitive rhythms that mimic the pulse of the city. Deep, enveloping basslines serve as the foundation for the construction of soundscapes reminiscent of echoes resonating in tunnels, abandoned basements and lonely streets. Throughout each track, Darkduction plays with the dynamics of silence and noise, using percussive elements to create hypnotic transitions that drag the listener deeper and deeper into this gloomy universe. Written and produced by Juan Gomez aka Darkduction Mastered by Andres Zuluaga Artwork by Staticflood

The production is rich and layered, creating a sense of depth and complexity that keeps the listener fully engaged from start to finish.
In the wake of a string of record releases, Tokens curator returns to his label with Angels Landing to highlight his mission statement. Four cuts of delirious and dissonant techno from the Belgian artist have proven to be a stylistic favorite in both his productions and his DJ sets. With a wink to older production techniques, Kr!z keeps this contribution to Token fresh and efficient while reaffirming the historic labels sonic identity. While using a steady bassline for his tracks, Kr!z ups the ante with a Detroit-style pad that floats around the rest of the record for the Angels Landing title track. By opening and closing hihats, rolling the claps all along, and pitching his rides, he creates tension by fully utilizing his drum machine. The synth stabs and overall pace make for a modern twist, however; its applicable music for layered sets that the Token boss has been known for performing over the years. This dance-ready, nostalgic-nudging kind of techno is spread throughout the entirety of the EP, but is most transparent on the B1 Oblivion. Key stab sequences have been iconic in the scene for some time, but its Kr!zs persistence and minimalism that renders this track so exciting. Opening and shutting filters, sliding portamento, and pushing the release, the seasoned artist manifests tension through minimal elements and relies on his transitions to keep up the pace. Usually juggling between rounder and sharper sound design, Medusa boasts both; Kr!zs electric lead bites a low- swaying synth line. Destined for peak use, complete with white noise transitions and open rides, Kr!z combines the sound of a club at its climax with his almost psychotic low-mid arpeggio to create one of his most hypnotic tracks to date. Ninth Circle, on the other hand, dials it back as the last track. More keys, yet obscure in intention and effect, the closer creates a question mark at the end of the EP with big transitions and a groovy use of toms. Cementing himself as a game player in production as much as in DJing, Kr!zs Angels Landing continues his search in eerie sounds and expressive drums to add to his labels catalog of savant club music.
Kaan Pirecioglu makes his debut on Float with the EP Human Engine. His production style focuses on purism and functionality, creating techno tracks that are both hypnotic and timeless. Human Engine exemplifies this approach with its four-track lineup of crisp, functional techno that seamlessly integrates into any set while still standing out from the crowd. A standout blend.
Contexture is another classic example of a true friends & family gathering. The Nijmegen based imprint, running for over 12 years was born out of a tight group of friends with the same passion. 12 years later, their strongest releases are still based on this exact same principle, collect and release music from the inner circle. Julien Fuentes, Dorcas label head, starts things easy with his Klaridub ambient mix. Its quickly followed by familiar ESHU faces Jocelyn and Yasin Engwer, classic dub techno beats from the ESHU vaults. Theres also room for new faces, the recently launched collaborative project between Vand and Shoal as Voal dropping their Eight Ball as their ESHU label debut. Flawless minimalistic grooves that make a perfect fit for their long awaited contribution. Label head Ivano Tetelepta teams up with Pirat Records own Christine Benz. After sharing the DJ booth together multiple times they also joined forces in the studio recently and crafted this squeeky techno drifter. Theres also an additional 10, exclusive to the ESHU Bandcamp, includes two beats from Klaridub, bringing some excellent smoke ready, head steady dub-techno cuts.

Each track builds a landscape that is both mesmerising and unsettling, inviting listeners to ponder the complexities of human nature and the cyclical nature of violence.

Fresh off the heels of his first release on Figure, French producer Arkan deepens his explorations of a unique sound with Part 2 of his Lightworker EP. His signature blend of mental techno is expanded upon, with opener Broken Clock swaying and rumbling mysteriously like a hypnotic pendulum over an abrasive groove. Pulsing picks up traction and pushes the momentum forward while still allowing jagged textures and cavernous effects to paint a largely looming soundscape. The flipside gets treated to more colours, with the linear Plaintive works its magic through a set of dense and emotive synths, slowly creating an uplifting yet condensed energy. Dark Clouds equally builds a strong atmosphere, using ricocheting sparks of panning synths and lighting to conjure the ominous feeling of a rising thunderstorm. Digital-only track of Speedway finally comes as a punchy bonus, serving a taster of how Arkan is also able to deliver funky and fidgety techno tools. If you havent checked it yet, make sure to go back for Lightworker Pt 1 and hear more of this promising new talents sounds.
If there is someone who is an expert in designing the best sci-fi techno, it is the Argentinean Translate. His impeccable career spans across timeless space and time, populated with works of the highest quality and precision, whether on his own label or on labels across the known world. This is why we feel enormously happy to have him on the label and also to be able to give it physical form with a vinyl release, as well as digital. This five-track extended EP represents Translates crystalline, scientific sound 100\%\%, seasoned with well-managed minimalism, precision bleeps and hypnotic, mental arrangements. All this is administered at different speeds and sensibilities, sometimes more galactic and mental and sometimes more dynamic and physical, but always futuristic and timeless. A true luxury to have a talent like him in our house.
Bringing the extra-terrestrial jack we love so dearly, Comarca comes spinning into the PM+ orbit with two glittering space rocks on a collision course with the club. Theres fierce functionality in the focused sound palette, but we could never settle for conventional fare and the Spanish upstart knows exactly where to tease in the necessary freakiness to get us sweating. At the core of Comarcas sound lies his instinct for slowly evolving, disorienting textures to induce slow-release hysteria on the dancefloor. Away from obvious build-up-breakdown dynamics, Ben Depressa is the kind of slithering, plate-shifting techno that takes a locked-in crowd and moves them en masse to the next plain of interconnected, transcendental shockout with devastating poise. Rotula is equally monumental in its potency, ratcheting down a rock solid groove upon which to tease in the hooks until theyre subliminally submerged deep enough in your subconscious to take full control. Theres a lyrical quality to the lead synth line which sounds like its commanding some kind of bacchanal on the edge of the void, and who are we to resist the call? Fresh, fun, firm and feisty invite Comarca over the threshold and lay his fiendish wares upon your virtual platter.
JUJUKAs 16th release SISTER features a pair of shadowness, playful hard groove tunes by label head Julia Govor. Govors characteristically tight, minimal and dry - humored-yet-groovy sound shines through on this two-track EP.
THE DEVIANTT welcomes us into his universe with four cuts with timeless aura. From the inviting rolling groove of Time Machine and the precise, percussive jabs of Angular to the clear midwestern atmosphere that is present in Streets of Detroit. Culminating with Sigh a colourful impression of dystopian futures through the viewpoint of techno, THE DEVIANTT thus completes and EP that is fully conscious of a classic, elegant sound, yet constantly forward looking into new spaces.
Following our tradition of showcasing upcoming talents, Room welcomes Joline Scheffler. An artist hailing from North Sweden with a keen interest in deep, absorbing, atmospheric rhythms, which you will find plenty of in this Anisoptera EP. First off, the echoing atmosphere on Anisoptera delivers exactly this. Soft kicks and clever percussion are paired with an absorbing groove which traps you in from the first minute. On Indignant, a similar formula is followed, but this time bringing in more groove and overall a more dancey feeling, while maintaining the mysterious mood present on the rest of the EP. Electric sounds take over on No Organic Chemistry, bringing intensity levels up. The driving Liquid Serenade is an ideal peak time weapon with evolving elements throughout the whole duration of the piece. A well-known artist for the imprint, Franz Jäger, brings on his A-class remix game, turning the original Anisoptera into a very different piece, with a pounding kick/groove combination and warm atmospherics that make it a memorable one for most sets. Then, Joline provides the last one on the EP: Closing Circle (You Cant Control Me), a well suited name for a track thats a perfect, emotional set-finisher.
Exos and Jon Hester collaborate on Participation 007, with two distinctive driving tracks. First up is Range - built on an insistent pulsing bassline and peppered with organic percussion, epic beaming pads drop in with a zap to send the vibes far and wide. Next up is Radar, powerfully scanning the horizon via rolling rhythmic waves of static blasts, punctuated by moments of bleeps, claps, and chaos. Midwest American Jon Hester started his Participation label for solo work and collaborations with fellow underground talents. His own works have been released on the likes of Rekids, Klockworks, and Tresor, to name a few, establishing his signature sound with warmth, groove, and soul. Hailing from Iceland, Exos has flowed forward through several channels of sound, from deep dub cuts to warehouse stormers, since the mid-nineties. As such, his releases run the gamut and can be found on Thule, Force Inc., Symbolism, Figure, Trip, Mutual Rytm, and his own X/OZ and Planet X labels, among others. His versatility of style and sensitivity both in the studio and onstage are key to his enduring appeal.
