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.

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.

Where Is Now
At this point a regular contributor in defining Tokens sound, Border One steps up for his sixth EP on the label in five years. As in many of his past projects, Where is Now bleeds character through effect for a trip on the dancefloor. Establishing the ambiance of the record, Border One meets pace with depth in the titletrack A1. A pressing bassline and progressively squelching synth accents combine to press the dancefloor, decorated with flickering hi hats. The track remains a steady roller throughout while maintaining an underlying attitude that only adds to its initial drive. Focusing back his energy on percussion, Border One prioritises eccentric groove with insistent tone. Time Drift reaffirms his minimalist approach to the EP, only inviting anxious drum sequences with rising rides in the second half. The portal opens steadily in Time Drift, establishing a slightly more meditative tone than hes done in the past. Echo State returns to resonance, a sound well fit for the label. With quick loops and a heavy focus on the hypnotic, in a dancefloor-commanding kind of way, the Belgian artist gives his signature sound that rolls effortlessly off of well tuned soundsystems. With a tight grip on the tracks pressure, Border One transitions into the final track Split Recall. Here, he finds a direct path through a heavily psychedelic landscape. Bringing in occasional high pitched synth sequences and cutting through claps while the stereo field turns and evolves, Border One creates a closing track with attention to detailing his arrangement and variance. Rolling off in one section to stomping through others, the Belgian artist proves once more that his sound continues to be reinvented throughout his work.

Culture Shock
Maltese talent Human Safari debuts on Mutual Rytm with jazz-influenced techno EP, Culture Shock. Human Safari is a key player in his native scene in Malta. Hes a resident at Glitch Festival, has played cult spots, and has a dynamic sound that brings jazz improvisation to techno, often featuring live instrumental elements. His music has found its place on top labels like R&S Records, and most of this new EP for SHDWs Mutual Rytm imprint was produced during his Colombian summer tour last year - written and recorded amongst inspiring and unusual settings with just a laptop and headphones. This EP represents embracing new beginnings that, though might bring uncertainty and fear, the light always guides you to where you were always meant to be. - Human Safari. Opener Mouse on Keys has been a key cut for the label boss across the past year, a unique track that peaks curiosity from dancers to DJs whenever its played. Its cantering techno rhythm is overlaid with delicate, heartfelt piano keys straight from a smoky jazz bar, making for a great counter to the physical drums. Fragments is a deeply personal track dedicated to the artists late grandfather. Its a funky, soulful techno roller with blissed-out and sunny chords full of hope. Next, Classique gets more gritty with loopy drums and bass and glitchy percussion that fizzes with energy, while The Labyrinth features piano motifs recorded in just one take. It brings a dark paranoia in the uneasy, off-grid keys which dart about with nervous energy over the booming low ends. There is just as much intensity and edge to the unresolved keys that loop over the raw drums on A Rainy Day in Bogota, before digital bonus cuts Dorian and Phantom bring more jazzed out techno madness with warped keys and expressive elements bringing great invention.

Corridor EP
Peach Discs last EP of 2025 comes from DJ & producer Leibniz. Hopefully you can hear why we chose to wait till club season is fully upon us to put this one out - Corridor is a deeply heads-down, groove-forward record that casts an enveloping atmosphere across its minimal, tunneling arrangements built for dark rooms and long nights. Across the EPs four tracks, Leibniz (real name Moritz Paul) picks a vibe and runs with it - themes persist, the focus narrows and what we get is something approaching a mood. Drawing inspiration from early 2000s techno records from the likes of Archetype while combining the ambient warmth of Kompakts Pop Ambient compilations and GAS releases with the clarity and weight of early dubstep and 2-step, he dived into a process of self-sampling, resampling shorter demos and ideas into full arrangements, or making in-between tracks that help make the tracks. The pair of tracks on the records A-side are made up of little more than razor-sharp percussion, billowing, restless pads and an infectious bassline, but its the way these carefully considered elements are put together that do the damage on the floor. Flip it over andTen Tenbreaks the 4x4 spell for a moment, leaning into a heavily swung, garage-indebted sound inspired by the king of swing himself, El-B. If my drums resemble just a bit of the ones of El-B, Im happy. We reckon he can be happy. Finally,TTLtakes us back to the persistent, driving energy of the A-side, with just a hint of hardgroove flavour and the kind of wonked-out fx that always suits the B2 of a record.

KYSH-EP05
Next up joining the KYSH catalogue is Gannein who breaks in with a refined 5-track story that expands our vision of contemporary techno with depth, subtle tension and dancefloor appeal. His original cuts lean into a minimalistic elegance — spacious grooves, precise rhythms, and a sense of controlled pressure that keeps the body moving while the mind sinks deeper. From the slow-burn intensity and airy low-end drift in the opening „Svaras, through shimmering percussive details and understated melodic traces woven across the EP, Gannein proves his mastery of restraint, as every element breathes. Two remixers complete the picture. Sciahri takes „Excursion into a hypnotic, tightly wound direction, magnifying the pulse and sharpening the edges. Red Rooms, in turn, pushes the atmosphere of „Control Reduction into tasteful, tribal territory — moody, yet driving.

All Of The Chaos
LWS returns to Parris and Call Supers can you feel the sun imprint with All Of The Chaos. 4 mutant rollers in his now-singular style, sharp constructions meticulously designed with club drama and devious rave energy. A year on from Palloon, and Edinburghs LWS has certainly left his mark. His inner metronome ticks differently, ornate club constructions snarling with hypnotic fervour. His music has been ubiquitous across clubs and festivals over the past twelve months as a result, and on his second EP for can you feel the sun he proves theres still plenty left in the tank. Opener Many Requests goes galactic, a wide-eyed entanglement of melody and rhythm that gallops tough yet supple through an ever-shifting landscape; an inevitable deconstruction ensues, before the salivating return sets us back on course. Gooly shifts darker, a looping roller with sultry swagger that deviously maintains its shuffling delirium with uncanny nous. Sharkbait on the flip cultivates a jaw-gnawing tension, vibrantly edging towards that ecstatic release with unrelenting ease. Closer All Of The Chaos goes weirdest, a chromatic safari swivelling on its mechanised 2 step through a carousel of unhinged sound design to its conclusion; signing off on yet another collection of future-shock missives from LWS. Early DJ support from Call Super, Objekt, Pariah, Surusinghe, Ploy, OK WIlliams and Pangaea.

Vibraform EP
Where music resists becoming personal confession, it creates its own narrative - abstract, precise, and unbound by outside noise. Vibraform by Berlin-based hardware and live artist Peryl provides an analytical yet deeply instinctive view on music. It reflects the duality between flow and restraint, between self-exploration and the healthy act of setting limits. At its core lies a certain nonchalance - a refusal to act on voices and trends while maintaining full commitment to sound itself. Meticulous sound design, unpredictable, morphing basslines and an intentional timeless aesthetic offer a rare window into Peryls creative state of mind. Even as he tries to sidestep personal narratives, emotions inevitably surface in the music, subtly shaping its character. The result is not a confessional piece of work, but an abstraction that remains universal rather than private, while still carrying a trace of personal truth. Four tracks that are striking a rare balance between novelty, grace and aggressive functionality, including a remix by RDHAD, offer to find purpose in the act of believing that sooner or later art reveals a logic of its own. 2025 The Third Room All tracks written & produced by Dennis Strobel B2 remixed by Mike Bierbach Mastered by Ahmet Sisman Artwork by Daniel Bornmann & Lennard Makosch (STUEDIO.XYZ) Distribution by Clone Pressing by Matter Of Fact

Federation of Rytm IV
SHDW presents Federation Of Rytm IV: a bumper 30-track collection spanning the past, present, and future of techno. Offering powerful standalone club cuts and a cohesive deep-dive, the expansive VA lands on 24th October 2025. The fourth edition of SHDWs flagship Federation Of Rytm VA series has been carefully curated by the DJ/producer and head honcho over more than a year, with close attention to detail given to sequencing. It is a balance of label regulars and debutants that represents the past, present, and future, both sonically and through the generational diversity of the artists involved. There are plenty of surprises along the way while always remaining true to the Mutual Rytm ethos and reflecting the journey of the night from start to finish, whether thats in intimate, sweaty clubs or on big festival stages. Ive lived with most of these tracks for over a year, testing them on the dancefloor and fine-tuning the selection. Each comes from artists I deeply admire, making this compilation a snapshot of the labels evolution and a glimpse of whats next. Federation Of Rytm IV celebrates connection across generations, while capturing the sounds that inspire me most — telling a story from start to finish. – SHDW. Across 30 tracks in the digital collection and 24 on four sides of wax, the release explores the full breadth of the Mutual Rytm sound. Driving grooves and relentless percussion set the pace, gradually unfolding into hypnotic and atmospheric passages that invite deeper immersion. Pulsating low-end power alternates with eerie minimalism, while bursts of futuristic energy and cavernous kick drums keep the tension high. Elsewhere, dub textures and moments of introspection provide balance, creating a narrative arc that moves fluidly between intensity and release, atmosphere and tension, darkness and light.

Second Skin
With his first EP on Token, Phara conjures up four tracks detailing dancefloor impact with robust personality. In Second Skin, the Belgian artist is eager for resolution, keeping tension high with the bold analog sound hes known for. Coming eye to eye with the labels sound, Phara pays homage to Token while fiercely defending years of artistic direction - layering the labels astral ambiance with his unstoppable movement. Second Skin sets Pharas intentions clear. The titletrack rolls forward like heavy machinery with what seems like shifting vocals breathing life into the stereo image. This first cut is a gold standard of peaktime production, creating a sense of purpose at the core of urgency. Claps and rides boom and whip around the track that lumbers on with chord stabs to add soul to flare. The Ring, however, takes the listener into another direction. Heavily centered on the drum sequence with a sharp slap-back delay, Phara plays with resonance, sparking psychosis amongst movement. Playful in the short term, The Ring proves to be an ultra-hypnotic track reserved for a sets high intensity stretches on an already surrendered dancefloor. Taking this energy and pulling it in, Neon comes to establish a bit more intimacy at first. Here, the producer diffuses his elements into themselves and, in turn, creates a thick ambiance that drives the record forward in space and dissonance. Neon is inquisitive and almost spiritual in its effect, playing with the line between a unified dancefloor and an introspective journey. The conclusion to the EP is Blood, a return to dryer production - at least in the beginning. Ambient, almost psychedelic synth work sucks in the listener over unwavering energy to create a closing track worthy of its name. Rolling through to the end, Blood delivers the final blow to an insatiable record on Token by Phara.

To Whom It May Concern
French talent Hyden makes label debut on Mutual Rytm with conceptual new techno EP, To Whom It May Concern. Hyden is a potent force in the French underground, creating powerful techno with dense percussion, immersive grooves and subtle nods to classic influences — all through his own unique lens. Having delivered standout releases in recent years, here he offers up sounds anchored in psychoanalysis, time, and emotional residue as he makes his mark on SHDWs Mutual Rytm imprint, delivering influences of dream logic and surrealism as the palette moves between brutality and introspection. Its hypnotic music for moments of rupture where something breaks or breaks through. Opener Manifest Content is inspired by Freudian theory and explores the surface illusions of thought and dream. Its about the dissonance between what we perceive and the deeper meaning that slips away beneath and is a deep and dubby techno track with flashes of unsettling melody. Bruises is emotional trauma made sonic. This piece delves into invisible scars and traumas, residues of past conflict or intimacy - its slow-burning, heavy and raw. Jikan is a meditation built on time and its erosion. Inspired by the Japanese concept of impermanence, it reflects fleeting moments, decay and the tension between stillness and motion with jacked up but warm drums and turbulent bass. Next, Free Will is born from inner conflict and plays with deterministic rhythms and evolving layers, questioning whether we are truly in control or just passengers in a prewritten sequence. The vocal mentions, creatures, youre out of time to bring darkness to the intense but sleek rhythms. The streamlined physicality of Swarm channels the primal force of collective movement and is a nod to the loss of individuality in group behaviour. In addition, the package is loaded with digital bonus cuts. Yumehara is a dive into surreal dream-states and evokes subconscious landscapes where logic dissolves and emotion reigns, while Lü Bu is brutal and warlike and named after the legendary Chinese general that captures impulsive violence, betrayal and reckless glory with relentless energy and rhythm. Lastly, Neon Pale is a synthetic dreamscape about fading beauty under artificial light - a melancholy ode to cities at night and the loss of warmth in modern life.
