As a trained dancer, movement has always guided GiGi FM's work, whether through developing movement based instruments, or questing to make you move via sound-systems across the world. These ephemeral moments of altered sleep patterns and dance are now present in the music of 'Sea~rène', sounds for a trip in the mind held with a desire to dance. A sense of brightness prevails in Movimiento, the feeling of white light rising from the dark of your mind as you lay with closed eyes. Opener 'Gabriella' takes you by the hand to spin you across the ballroom floor, dancing in a dusky glow. Piano twinkles along with your step; a gradual ascension as a graceful dance can be. Words by Rhys Salt "We are Sea~rène swimming in-between supernatural tides, forever following the emotional waves of the universe". GiGi FM

From the even-tempered mantra of Satakieli to the aqueous, lightly dubbed electro of Tuiskussa Langennut, the warm after hours synth bath of Havinavalssi and the pensive percussive of Solina, Kaspiann demonstrates a keen balance between richly layered detail and an overall subtlety heavyweight music that feels light on the ears.

Embarking on their 17th sonic sojourn shrouded in enigmatic allure and veiled in mystery, Observant presents the debut release of sr² — a purposeful new moniker of a well-known figure in the techno circuit since 2007. Formed to direct attention exclusively to music, eschewing the distractions of self-presentation, personality, and persona, it stands as an cryptic entity, a calculated construct devoted to the core of artistic expression. This Leipzig-based producer presents three originals with a muscular onslaught advocated through all his years of experience producing, teaching, and running a record label. Further fortifying this release are two prodigious remixers, MSDMNR and Oxygeno, based in Berlin (DE) and Lugo (ES) respectively, packing that cutting-edge ballistics and unapologetic sophistication to temper techno's thriving contemporary. Within the shadows of 'Geschlossene Räume,' sr² crafts a world where gritty, mechanical rhythms intertwine with heady dissonant stabs, casting a spell of haunted otherworldly wonder. 'Serenität' offers a moment of respite with its skippy drums and sizzling subs that unexpectedly lead into a blossoming chord progression, beckoning the first rays of sunlight with an emotional heft. Full of strange rustling intertwined textures and chopped drones, 'Zugmaschine' is dark with absolutely no sign of any light around the corner. In the realm of remixes, MSDMNR's version of 'Geschlossene Räume' unveils cinematic sci-fi allure from the get-go, consistently keeping the original synth loop in focus, contrasted by the drum programming. Reimagining those textural layers from 'Zugmaschine' into his auditory kaleidoscope, Oxygeno spews a synthetic brew of articulated noises that swirl and throb over rippling kick drums and subs.
Marcel Fengler's place within the pantheon of German techno master's is undisputed. As one of the first residents of Berghain / Panorama Bar, Fengler has been a constant on the global circuit for over 20 years. But his influence doesn't stop at the DJ booth. Since 2011 the sound craftsman has sought to introduce new and younger talents via his imprint Marcel Fengler Index (IMF). A commitment he doesn't plan on stopping soon. Leading the charge by way of EP opener, 'Driftless' is fast-rising Dublin native Aero. Set to a rollicking backdrop of rumbling bass and sawing synth, the track is unwavering and chugs with thunderous momentum breaking in parts only briefly before swiftly setting off again galloping vehemently to its close. Rove Ranger is a prominent name in the Stuttgart scene and founder of the Vision Ekstase party series. His HARDPROOF offering 'Chordal' is ironically titled, in the sense it is anything but. The melody is a somewhat caustic mix of brittle drums, heart palpitating bass and creeping effects. A subtle inclusion of a chiming string lead late on makes for the track's most "cordial" moment, but this is soon overrun by the tenacious melody we first hear. Gareth Wild is synonymous with London's techno scene, a landscape he has helped shape with his EarToGround label and via his imitable presence as a resident of Fold. On 'Switchblade' he instils a tense energy from the off employing a rolling kick and industrial percussion that are set to a swirling windstorm. The core beat is unwavering methodically churning its way through clanking metallic tones and stormy reverb before sharply ending. Classically trained Berlin resident Dajush picks up the baton for track 4 with his 90s leaning contribution 'Repeating'. Launching into life with a panning, wobbling bass the melody gradually introduces glitching snares, shuffling pads and fluting overtones making for a kinetic ambience and a feeling the track could play on infinitely. Argentine veteran Kid Riot is the alias of Juan Benedetti who has been an instrumental figure in his country's underground culture for over 25 years. Closing out the EP with 'Countdown', he opts for a driving bass set to an ensemble of stuttering claps. A thudding drum and a chorus of off-kilter bleeping then proceed to take hold to the see out the final measure of the track.

Gary Beck returns to Mutual Rytm as he unveils a selection of impactful cuts across his debut 12" on the label, 'Upside Criminal'. Bek Audio boss and Glasgow techno mainstay Gary Beck has long been a key figure in the scene with a unique sound that has shaped a vast discography. One of the genre's best, with appearances across iconic institutions and collaborations with legendary talents, he is a definitive talent. Returning to SHDW's Mutual Rytm imprint, his new EP lands following his recent appearance on the label's 'Federation Of Rytm III' VA, with the tracks on the package proving as go-to favourites for the label boss over recent months. "Mutual Rytm has been nothing short of inspirational to me over the last years. Ive been playing almost everything from the label, as the tracks really suited what I was selecting in my DJ sets. The high-quality output really got my juices going to create something for the label, and I was delighted when Marco liked what I sent. This EP signals exactly where I am musically. I'm an absolute sucker for tracks with relentless groovy energy and little breaks, so it felt like a perfect fit. Tracks from the EP have been an absolute joy to play in my sets recently, and I'm so excited to deliver this EP on my current favourite label, Mutual Rytm." - Gary Beck. The powerful 'Upside Criminal' kicks off with hammering drums and pounding hits that create an inescapable wall of sound that will dominate dance floors of any size. There is more loopy energy to 'Sambana' with its ever more jagged synth stabs and fizzing drum textures while 'Pepper Track' is a futuristic techno workout with rattling snares and mutant synth details peeling off the straight-up groove. 'Rejected' is built around trapped vocal fragments that swirl about the mix to a disorientating effect as the high-speed drums and sheet metal synths race onwards, 'while Ghost' closes out with a subtle sense of uplifting celebration from the synths that rise up through rusty, rickety techno grooves. Digital Bonus 'Variation 6.1' offers another searing and funky techno stomp, once again providing an extra gem for digital purchasers.
At what point does a new tool or technology become so integral to a process as to be intrinsic? And what happens if that technology starts to subordinate its user? By reflecting on these questions Machine Alliance, the new EP by Irish producer Kerrie on Tresor Records, connects her music to the sci-fi origins of techno and electronic music in general. With inspiration from classic books and films of the genre such as The Machine Stops, The Matrix, and Blade Runner as well as modern explorations in art and philosophy like Free Your Mind and Technopoly, the EP's title takes on two opposing but intersecting meanings. One, based on the potential for machines to take over or replace humans, is a key idea of sci-fi that seems closer to reality with the arrival of machine learning and real artificial intelligence. The second has a much more positive view, one where the "alliance" is between the artist and machine to create the music, a process she places immense value on, being both cathartic and therapeutic, whilst also being a vehicle of addition and expansion: "I feel that it's a collaboration...the machines are precise in their timing and I add the human touch (literally) in the live performance which adds natural imperfections, so we both provide something the other can't. There's also an element of growth; the machines get updates and so are always expanding in terms of their musical capabilities. And the more I push my own technical abilities I feel we are growing together in a constant synchronised dance. "This "dance" results in four tracks (plus three digital-only bonuses) of classic machine funk which combine the aforementioned ideas in sci-fi with a deep lifelong affection for techno. Tracks like Ode to the D, and Technopoly Dream display this love through her choice of sounds and structure, both intentional and subconscious, while Replicants, and Human in the Loop project into other genres to fully round this release off as a contemporary example of music rooted in both past and future.

Len Faki assembles second star-studded Fusion Remixes instalment The Berliner recruits his favourite producers for the second edition of 'Fusion' reworks Berlin-based renowned techno artist Len Faki has announced the second instalment of his Fusion remix trilogy, out 19th April on his label imprint Figure. Nearly a year on from the original LP release, Fusion Remixes 02/03 reminds us of the versatility and musical expansiveness of Len Faki's latest masterwork. The Berliner has hand-picked his favourite producers, from ANNA to Modeselektor, to reimagine eight originals on the second double 12' EP of the Fusion Remixes collection, following January's first instalment. Part two of the trilogy kicks off with 'Sexuality (My Reality)', recrafted by Len himself under the moniker Hardspace into a rasping stomper, adding a cacophony of hit hats into the mix using his understanding of floor dynamics. Fusion deep cut 'Shri Yantra' gets the club treatment next, with Luke Slater's Deep Heat remix ramping up the intensity, transporting the original's delicate synth textures into a high octane screamer. On the B-side, Amotik morphs the bouncing 'Make Me Scream' into a one-way tunnel of haunted voices and pummeling percussion, while the sharp breakbeats and warm synths give Ploy's rework of 'Raum 422' a distinctly old school feel. Next up, ANNA crafts the album highlight two-parter 'Hymn' into a club anthem with thick low end and intricate topline melodies, and 'Astra' gets a rework from the man Len Faki himself on a lean Beat Room mix crawling with otherworldly sound effects. Closing this second remixes EP out, Fusions lead single 'Don't Be Stupid Day' is reinterpreted as an ominous, distorted fever dream by Modeselektor, before Beste Hira's take on 'Waver'. Stay tuned for part three of the remix trilogy, bringing even more of the Fusion originals back in a new guise.
If you are a fan of techno and have paid attention to the most relevant producers lately, you will surely have come across the name of the maker of this EP. Roll Dann is one of the fittest creators on the Spanish scene and this is demonstrated by his work for labels such as Soma Quality Recordings or Mord among others. His specialty is the most combative and direct techno, but with a solid foundation in the best tradition of this sound, the roots that come from the best British techno of the nineties, combined with a current and powerful sound design. This in-depth knowledge of the fundamentals of the genre leads him to easily master everything necessary to move an intelligent dance floor and throughout the six cuts that make up this work he demonstrates it with solvency and professionalism. Starting with the introduction Confused Smiles, Roll Dann prepares us for the storm that will follow, which opens fire with Ungrateful Skills, straight to the jugular, made with crunchy continuous sequences, with the appropriate dose of distortion riding on a compact and direct rhythm, all with an hypnotic and obsessive progression that makes it a dangerous tool for the most experienced DJs. Interrupted slides towards more liquid terrain without abandoning the danceable impulse, but soon things get more aggressive with the emergence of successive layers and sequences. The Guide descends into the depths of the underground sound, rubbery and smoky, stretching and modifying the frequencies, playing with distortion and aggressiveness in a risky but nevertheless very effective exercise in the club. Excess of Power, a kind of rhythmic tunneling machine that pierces the eardrums and stirs up the sound systems, taking us to the last cut, Creating Pleasures stops the machine and experiments with textures and industrial influences, a farewell in style for a high-voltage EP.
Spain is the home country of many of the best Techno figures in the planet today. Straight from Cadiz, we proudly introduce the magnificent music from DSNGDMANN, who delivered a powerful ep called 'The Hidden Problem In Theory', with 4 original tracks and a remix by Lakej. 'Test Phase' sets the stage with its intriguing title and distinctive sound. The bass can be compared to a helicopter taking off, while the mid hi section resembles an intergalactic storm. This dynamic and intense opening, promises an adventurous journey ahead. 'Response' continues the mesmerizing voyage established by the album's opener, with its simple yet captivating elements. The blippy melody adds an enchanting quality, drawing listeners deeper into the music's hypnotic allure. The punchy bass once again provides a strong foundation, driving the track forward with its infectious energy. 'Stormhead' emerges as a captivating and enigmatic track, weaving an enthralling sonic tapestry that beckons listeners into its mysterious depths. The title itself evokes a sense of turbulence and intensity. The pads create tension and the feeling you are forever trapped in this track. 'The Hidden Problem In Theory,' as the title track, seems to carry a weighty significance within the album's narrative. The juxtaposition of heavy kick bass with pads resembling a saw creates a sense of contrast. The straightforward nature of the track suggests a clear and direct approach to addressing this hidden problem, allowing listeners to confront it head-on through the power of music. The 'Response (Lakej Remix)' introduces a fresh perspective on the original track, infusing it with a new energy and dynamic flair.The tribal elements evoke a primal and hypnotic atmosphere, transporting listeners to an otherworldly realm where the pulse of the beat reverberates through their very bein.
With his first full-length EP on Token after a contribution to last year's Fuga IV compilation, Nørbak proposes his unique take on movement and grain through the four tracks on 'Sopro'. Constantly searching for new textural story telling, the Portuguese producer balances grit with technical depth. 'Teste' begins the record as the most minimal of the collection, setting a somber tone with percussive accents whipping through a cavernous atmosphere. Reminiscent of German style club music with booming kicks and resonating hits, Nørbak plays to his strengths by alternating through confronting sound design and imposing rhythmics. The title track 'Sopro' maintains the weight of its predecessor, however the focus shifts to the lead synth line. The Hayes member juggles through a hypnotic sequence, bending dissonant keys to ensure a funky swing while keeping things cool and collected. This stylistic hybrid segues perfectly into 'Clima', where Nørbak masterfully retreats into the mind for paced percussion over delirious ambiances in half-time. A slow rolling bassline pushes through the arrangement like a tidal wave with chanting snares egging it on, making 'Clima' almost ritualistic. The hypnotic touch completes 'Sopro EP' in a subtle way and leads into an epic of a closer with 'Veneta'. Nørbak thickens the rhythmic section once again, with an accent on the high end, to shout far off notes describing a stretching landscape. These stuttering keys make for an intense ride supported by shaking hi hats all along the way, persistent through every transition. The record comes to a satisfying close with a meditative conclusion, an appropriate way to wrap up a sensorial adventure.
'One' is the debut album from burgeoning Portuguese techno producer Afonso Esperança aka Backbone @backbone-3 After his 'Gatekeeper' EP (COUNTER033), including the iconic 'Take A Trip' which gathered support far and wide, Backbone stretches out over nine wonderfully detailed and intense tracks. Exploring the modern techno manifest, 'One' is full of positively charged, bassline-driven heaters. The founder of the Vinculum Festival in Portugal, Esperança's unique sound design, vocal FX and tension-heavy arrangements carve a clear course from the heart to the dancefloor. From the tingling ambient intro of 'Mundo Novo' straight into the addictive 'Press To Regenerate' its clear there's countless details to discover forged into these tracks. Counterchange founder Inland straps in on 'Generation Gap', one of the early highlights of the album, with its surging industrial pulse and funky forward momentum. The stunning broken beats and bleeps of 'There Is No Spoon' hit hard and dark while remaining elegant and certainly not over-driven. Every track on the LP is a microcosm for Backbone's sound world and kinetic techno manifesto - he infuses a rich stereo image and silky bounce on stand-out tracks like 'Strike A Dose', 'Minucioso' and 'No Casket Space'. Bringing the album to a close with the night-time drive of 'Ride The Snake', Backbone summons the spirits of his mountainous home region in a hypnotising, shamanic ritual for the closing sets.
According to the situation, there are times when you must rely on a person for something or other. If this is done repeatedly, it becomes a matter of importuning that person and can be rather rude. If there is something that must be done, it is better not to rely on others. (Yamamoto Tsunetomo - Hagakure: Book Of The Samurai)

"Palette Doree" and "Edition Collector" are Amandra's most swung offerings, lively sampled percussion and lush synths that offer endless breathing space for these beautiful numbers to exhale. "Pana Ondine" is the dance floor workhorse with a soft and punchy kick, rough stabbing bass hook, wispy ride and a mesmerizing arpeggio, the track never calls your attention loudly but instead gently lures you into its grasp.

After releasing five sell out various artists EPs featuring 25 artists, positivesource is excited to present a new chapter for the label with a diverse and anthemic EP from Berlin based producer Regent. No stranger to the label, Regent contributed to src005 last year with his smooth techno roller Off Agenda alongside music from Neri J, Alpha Tracks, Vil & Cravo. His tracks have featured heavily in DJ sets by label founders Blue Hour and Philippa Pacho over the years, naturally the idea to present the first artist EP on positivesource with Regent comes as no surprise. The record starts on a hypnotic tip with Occult, grooving along with an infectious bass-line swung beats and blissed out atmospherics before stepping up the energy levels on Khmera, a relentless chord driven percussive anthem with nostalgic vocals rising to new heights. On the flip the title track Aphid Riot is bold and vibrant leaning heavily into UK flavours using sliced up vocals, breakbeats and a classic Reece bass-line. Completing the record is a broken version of Aphid Riot highlighting an ethereal tonal melody with a deeper and more introspective take on the original. Its a new sound exploration from the producer, demonstrating his versatility and perhaps a rare moment in his discography.
Neel is about as much of an Interdimensional Transmissions person as you can get. Cofounder of Voices From The Lake, a powerful and sensitive DJ from an early age, mastering engineer at Enisslab in Rome, he even is a partner in a record pressing plant. He does everything yet still finds the space to get specific in his internal investigations for the Disco Quarantine EP. Exploring the boundaries between genres, simultaneously pure deep techno and disco this is rarely achieved he continues to explore the edges with the ever propulsive title cut, and further connections with each song. Psychedelic, propulsive, subtle, perfectly produced gems ranging from hedonistic underground moments where time ceases to exist to moments of exploration throughout the cosmos. It feels like the B side opener Deep Quarantine was composed for the environment at No Way Back, though it is equally eternal and available to any floor anywhere in the world. This EP comes in black or color vinyl with the new IT cosmic sleeve that debuted with Erikas remix EP. The digital version contains the bonus track Acid Quarantine.

Record opener ''Mopo'' thuds hypnotically with a digital, crystallized, acid-tinged bass line into the second track ''Arp'', whose squishy chord stabs punctuate a mesmerizing rolling shuffle. Penultimate track ''Lyf'' plays out like a high speed pursuit- where pulsating tension propels the listener deeper into the groove while record closer ''Newendam'' bubbles around a bouncing bass hook offering teetering glimpses of light and bliss as the sun rise teases.
