NEOCLASH
NEOCLASH is DJ Hells new work. The Electroclash of the early 2000s is reconstructed here, its characteristic codes extracted and reshaped into a modern, reflective form. NEOCLASH is a cultural experiment - music as a medium of reflection, a structure for space and time, and a vehicle for exploring the tensions between technology, the body, and perception. Electroclash now - or a manifesto for the aesthetic relevance of electronic club music, combining strong old-school references with a new understanding. DJ Hell, a.k.a. Helmut Josef Geier, delivers a contemporary reinterpretation of the Electroclash genre. International Deejay Gigolo Records was the pulse of the movement 25 years ago - and Hell, its very namesake. Godfather of Electroclash reloaded. 25 years and many milestones later, DJ Hell returns to his roots with NEOCLASH, proving that Electroclash in 2025 can sound not nostalgic, but forward-thinking and visionary. NEOCLASH builds a bridge between past and present within electronic dance culture and club music. Italo Disco, New Wave, Indie Dance, Disco, Pop, Chicago House, Acid, Detroit Techno, and Avantgarde Music merge here into a bold new interpretation.

DYSTORTION
DYSTORTION Extrawelts Latest and Longest-Brewing Album Lands This December on Cocoon In this beautiful world marked by rising chaos, sometimes the simplest way to escape its troubles is through sonic relief. Germanys renowned electronic duo Extrawelt will offer exactly that with their 5th full-length album, DYSTORTION, via Cocoon Recordings this December. For over two decades, the humble duo behind Extrawelt, who shy away from making music for clicks, have been a steadfast presence in electronic music. Known as serious studio and tour-focused artists who craft timepiece albums, each a work of enduring craft, that go on to create atmospheric, out-of-the-box live acts, theyve been shaping and redefining electronica since their first release. DYSTORTION is their most diverse and evocative album to date. Imagined over six years and shaped by a world in flux through COVID, political upheavals, social media, and AI, it reflects the contrasts and twists weve all felt while offering surges of serenity and hope. From brooding tension to playful relief, it moves through different states in an evolved Extrawelt manner. The albums opening credit, Grand Départ, as if a cinematic prelude, invites us into a world of creeping bass, an explicitly Extrawelt sound thats synonymous with the anti-genre genre they work within. The albums second track, Clapland, sees Extrawelt joining forces with Jimi Jules, a name synonymous with excellence in electronic music, creating a rare collaboration that is felt in every note. Soon, the mood shifts into softer melodies as heard in Surrounded By Miracles, Hope Sounds Good, and Sir Stringalot, which bring bright euphorics to balance the darker moments in an album echoed by industrial influences. Later, as Dystortion (the albums title track) unfolds, were drawn into something few electronic artists can create: raw emotion. This is a gritty landscape as reflective as it is pulsing, glitchy, intense, and richly textured. DYSTORTION is a reflection of a complex, divided world, carried through dramatically with Extrawelts signature techno tension. Like the world right now, it is full of contradictions, surprises, and moments of introspection, an essential listen for fans of mature electronic music that may or may not need a reminder of why, after 20 years, were still listening.

The Architects of Shadows
The Architects of Shadows explores the volatile undercurrents shaping todays polarized world, where extremes on all sides vie for influence and control. Against a backdrop of rising nationalism, digital echo chambers, and deepening distrust, each track captures a stage in the gradual radicalization of society. Through dark, immersive soundscapes, the album delves into how unseen architects exploit fear, amplify division, and pull the strings of public sentiment, leading society toward ideological extremes. The Architects of Shadows invites listeners to confront the forces behind the fracturing of Western societies in an era marked by profound political and cultural polarization.

Breakthrough
Breakthrough opens a new chapter for Primal Instinct. After nine releases built around our stickman tribe, this EP is the first in a new visual era where each cover is sourced from the open archive of Wikipedia and subtly reworked. Choosing these images is not aesthetic coincidence but a statement: if the label is about the human condition, then it makes sense to dig into one of the biggest, most accessible repositories of our collective memory. For breakthrough, a karateka high-kicking a punching ball becomes the perfect symbol: direct, physical, and aimed at breaking through limits - of self, of sound, of format.

Seagroover
NEBADON MUSIC proudly presents Seagroover, the new and immersive EP by Nicole Dettmar, a work that dives into the densest, most psychedelic and most sensory currents of Hypnotic Techno. This release, listed under catalog NM022, represents a profound journey into territories where time dissolves, repetition becomes a mantra, and RAW energy transforms into a pulse that exists between the physical and the spiritual. The Seagroover EP brings together five pieces designed to alter perception, expand the mind, and command the dancefloor with surgical precision: Seagroover, a sonic gateway that introduces liquid landscapes and a hypnotic groove from the very first beat. Costa del Lanport, where textures intertwine into enigmatic patterns that evoke an infinite horizon. Fire Step, an energetic ascent driven by raw, insistent rhythms loaded with dynamic tension. Hall of Mirrors, a labyrinthine structure where each loop reflects an introspective echo, guiding the listener through their own subconscious. Shake The Realm, a vibrant conclusion that fuses strength, depth, and a refined RAW aesthetic. With this release, Nicole Dettmar reaffirms her sonic vision: a hypnotic, dark, and evolving techno that embodies the transformative essence that defines NEBADON MUSIC. Seagroover (NM022) is not just an EP it is an immersive experience crafted for those who seek music that transcends, vibrates at the edge of the unknown, and reveals its intention through continuous motion.

Moving Pressure 05
Moving Pressure marks its fifth release, and the first one to stretch across a double vinyl with full sleeve artwork. It isnt framed as an album, yet its sequencing carries a narrative weight that lingers between immediacy and introspection. MP05 welcomes on board Australian producer Connor Wall, whose work fuses tightly wound rhythm and immersive atmosphere, balancing precision with a sense of openness. His sound is rooted in the physical pull of the dancefloor, yet drawn toward zones of suspension and elusion. And Moving Pressure 05 captures that duality very clearly. Momentum sets the tone from the outset – taut drum programming, metallic accents, and structures that build energy in decisive bursts. Theres a sense of propulsion that feels engineered for peak hours, exuding a tightening grip on the floor. Gradually, tension loosens up, stretching patterns into spirals, layering vaporous pads and resonant low-end that opens a more interior space. Together, the two arcs trace Walls range with clarity: body and mind, force and dissolve. Rather than presenting opposites, they reveal different angles of the same language. An exploration of density, atmosphere, and the subtle thresholds between the two.

Let's Get Lost
As part of his ongoing effort to bring his classic catalogue to the digital era, Samuel L Session releases another key EP from his archives on his own label, SLS.

ANNEX
The term annex typically describes a structure joined to a main building, offering extra space or function. In this spirit, Tresor Records revives the ANNEX series with a new end-of-year collection that serves as an extension of the label and clubs output, adding to the creative life that has unfolded within Köpenicker Str. 70 over the past years. Since the club moved in 2007, the Kraftwerk complex has been repurposed from its original use as a power station to fulfil multiple functions that bring people together to collaborate and congregate: office, venue, club, exhibition space, and home to the Berlin Atonal festival. With the arrival of the Hard Wax record shop in 2023, the building now offers another way for the like-minded to come together and to share ideas in a common space. ANNEX echoes the many roles of the building by fostering introduction, connection, and creation: all of the music within was created by individuals directly linked to Tresor: from club staff and residents to Hard Wax employees and long-time friends. Across 28 tracks, the compilation unites artists from various backgrounds and generations, some collaborating for the first time, creating a moment in motion as Tresor heads into a new year.

FW 25/26
Repetitive Rhythm Research presents: FW25/26 The sound of the season? Or a tongue-in-cheek reflection on fleeting trends? Techno has always moved in cycles, styles fade in and out of focus, but true character stands the test of time. As the genre enters its fourth decade, its fascinating to see how experimentation sometimes becomes formula, and how fresh ideas can either break the mould or quietly slide into the mainstream. This new compilation on Repetitive Rhythm Research explores exactly that tension. 12 tracks by 12 artists, ranging from rising talents to established names, each bringing their own distinct approach. This isnt your typical cut from the same cloth compilation. Its a diverse journey through contemporary techno with all its depth, quirks, and raw energy. From Marcel Dettmanns dark and spooky slow-burner This Is a Test, to Peder Mannerfelts forward-thinking Alternate Current. Force Reaction dives into trippy terrain with Mysteries Unfolding, while Sanna Mun and Dynamic Forces channel classic Detroit vibrations. Section 6 (a well-known Dutch producer) and Sonic Propaganda (aka Earwax and Rosati) deliver peak-time power. UFO95 takes you on an epic trip with Apollo95, while Conrad Van Ortons Plaintive Drift operates in a lane of its own, fast-paced, hypnotic, and emotionally rich. And then theres the ever-consistent Jeroen Search, the fierce energy of Kerrie, and the unmistakable sonic fingerprint of Aleksi Perala. Each contributes to this wide-ranging exploration of technos current landscape. This Fall/Winter 25/26 release isnt just another techno compilation. Its a curated statement that embraces contrast, personality, and forward momentum. Pick your favorites. Revisit the outliers. Let the rhythms unfold.

Fleeting Dreams
Italian techno innovator SLV returns with second EP on Mutual Rytm, serving up a blend of raw analogue power and cinematic depth. Sicilys SLV is able to merge technical mastery with emotional resonance. His potent techno sounds have come via the likes of SHWDs Mutual Rytm and Slams Soma, and unite timeless yet forward-thinking sonics. On Fleeting Dreams, he continues to refine his signature sound while channelling introspection and intensity into a collection of meticulously crafted cuts that balance precision and feeling, energy and space. Each track reveals a different side of his sonic identity: hypnotic rhythms intertwine with evolving soundscapes, while layers of distortion and melody merge into a dreamlike tension between the mechanical and the organic. Fading Moments kicks off with a sleek blend of driving, supple kicks and warm synth ripples, while a euphoric vocal cry is buried deep to amp up the emotion. Scenario then brings icy hi-hats and sinewy synths bring a futuristic feel to the unrelenting, high-pressure drums down low. Daruma has a darker energy with menacing textures and paranoid FX bringing the rolling drums to life, while Bass Grit has a hunched up rhythm, with groaning pads and fizzing static electricity that charge up the party. To close, Shimmer sinks down into a muscular and deep rhythm thats marbled with restless synths and ever-rising tension. In addition, digital bonus cuts Trust and 1990 offer different perspectives with slamming drums, seductive vocals and feisty synth loops making for two more bold, immersive techno weapons.

Soft Launch EP
Perc returns to Perc Trax for his first full EP since the release of his Resident Advisor recommended album The Cut Off in March 2024. Across the three tracks of Soft Launch Perc sets out his current sound, a groove led take on classic techno with the depth of production and unexpected twists that Percs tracks are famous for.Title track Soft Launch is based around the interplay between the three main elements of the track, the driving kick & bass, cut up percussion loops and the ever building string chords, creating something unique that has been a key track in Percs sets since it was completed.Tonight sits somewhere between pulsing electro and gritty lo-fi techno, constantly pushing forward as a female vocal breaks through the wall of percussion demanding to hear something fresh.Finally Gravity Drop pushes the sound design further, mixing a crisp industrial kick drum groove with cut up atmospheric melodic and vocal elements creating a psychedelic dreamlike atmosphere to close the EP.
