The night felt almost mystical. The flickering of neon signs brought to life the trash bins and fire escapes — street romance in its purest form. But not everything fit together as neatly as it seemed. Foul-smelling steam rolled out from sewer grates. From deep within a nearby alley came distant screams, followed by hurried footsteps. Somewhere above, the shriek of a police drone was concealed by the noise of the district. Not far from there, at the corner of a food stall, Cat sat. Poking at cold noodles with a pair of chopsticks, he gazed at the stars and thought about home. Then, suddenly, he froze, his eyes locked at something in front. Someone was approaching fast, with a familiar stride. Heads up, fluffy. Doc… We dont have much time. Lets shake hands and forget about the fight. You think you can just vanish and then reappear like nothing happened? I was being an idiot. I know that. But its not safe here. Ill explain on the way. Cat nodded and followed silently. Memory and logic tangled into a knot — clinging to the professors voice, his tone, his face. Something felt… off. It wasnt just the apology. There was something weird about him. The doubt that was creeping through him gave way to determination. They had a lot to talk about.
After teaming up with his companion Gannein earlier this year, Ket Robinson steps into the spotlight with a solo EP that moves between raw energy and deep atmospherics, closing with a great cinematic journey. Mastered by Audiosculpture at Subterra, The Hague.
With Dunstfeld, newcomer Konstantin Scharf makes his debut on Inherit, delivering a deep and atmospheric six-tracker that perfectly captures the labels hypnotic and minimalistic ethos. Characterized by dense layers of foggy textures, rolling low-end pressure, and restrained yet immersive percussion, Scharfs production builds tension through subtle evolution rather than excess - a sound equally meditative and functional, designed for introspective moments on the floor. To complete the release, Juri Heidemann reimagines the title track Dunstfeld with a stripped but powerful reinterpretation, a driving and hypnotic remix that amplifies the originals depth while pushing it firmly toward the peak-time. IHT022 continues Inherits focus on precise, mood-driven techno - subtle, immersive, and made for dark, smoke-filled rooms.
We welcome Alpharisc to Warg Records for the thirteenth release on the label. Shanes six track EP featuring two digital bonus showcases the fundamental elements that made early 90s techno so distinguishable. This combination of rythmic low end, raw percussion and cinematic synths makes this release unique amongst modern day influences.
Wata Igarashis first album on Dekmantel is a lightning bolt of immediate, immersive and impactful techno energy that maximises his trademark tunnelling rhythms and psychoactive arpeggios with stunning results. Compared to some of his dreamier releases on labels like Midgar, The Bunker New York and Delsin, here were treated to a more intense, hi-octane dimension to Igarashis sound perfectly demonstrated in the wide-eyed, invigorating rush of Shockwave, Meltzones nagging acid frenzy and Unleasheds delirious, pitch-bent peaks. Precision honed and revelling in the hypnotic abandon of the loop, My Supernova is a techno album through and through, but its also overflowing with the kind of head-melting creativity and nuanced production that Igarashi has made his own. Just lose yourself in the giddy arps of Supernova a joyous whirlpool of synths upon synths upon synths reaching fever pitch without even a hint of brute force.
SOLID028 Melbourne-based Arta Fact returns with a full EP, Kimura, following his contribution to Solid VA last year. The release also features remixes from Silent G and Kaltblume. Weaving through different shades of deep techno, Arta Fact showcases both his trademark sound and his evolution as a producer. The EP opens with the minimal textures and seductive vocals of Authentic Stimulation. Silent Gs remix adds depth, layering epic synth stabs over a warm, rolling bassline. Kimura and Bone Collector are prime peak-time cuts, built on bleepy details and spliced vocals that deliver a powerful, hypnotic, and playful experience on the dance floor. Pax Romana leans on intricate drum programming and a sweeping vocal line that conjures late-night and early-morning moods. Kaltblumes remix keeps the vocal at the forefront, driving the track with dynamic low-end movement and rhythmic intensity.
MindTrip proudly welcomes Italian duo Esilum. Following their remix of Melt on our recent Parallel remix contest, they now land on MindTrip with a complete sonic statement titled Observation. Past and future bend into each other across these tracks — where hypnotic architecture meets analogue warmth, and precise modernity resonates with echoes from the 90s. This is a sonic orbit both cerebral and physical: raw at times, subtle at others, always guided by intention. A journey through parallel timelines of Techno, where mental landscapes unfold into deeper, more visceral dimensions. Esilums approach remains fearless: genre-fluid, emotionally honest, and technically razor-sharp. Another step forward in their ongoing mutation of sound and spirit. This is MindTrip!
Australias You Know Seth arrives on Perc Trax with the driving grooves of Permanent, the latest in the labels one track series. First coming to Percs attention in early 2025 with CCamp, one of Percs most played tracks this year, it only seemed fair to invite You Know Seth onto Perc Trax.Permanent is everything you would want from a modern club techno track, driving drums, deep breakdowns and just a touch of 00s tribal techno drama.
This sixteenth release in the core Knowledge Imprint catalogue marks an important milestone (a good 7+ years after its inception) as it welcomes the first solo EP by a South African producer other than the label owner himself. Justyn Nell has already been making waves in his own right with releases on prominent labels and performances at well-respected venues across the globe. So, it is with great delight that he joins the label roster for a strong 4-tracker like only he can do. The A-side is occupied by Erebus and Obsidian, both of which have the distinct character of Justyns more tool-oriented techno production style. With sharp synths, hypnotic loops, precision percussions and classic call-response tension, these are tracks that are made for peak dance floor moments - no frills, no fuss. On the other hand, the B-sides Perceived Depth and Solstice show a different side to Justyns usual stylistic tropes. Make no mistake, youll still get a full dose of techno, but this time with more hypnotic and emotive qualities that reveal a welcomed development in the artists sonic palette.
Animal Farm Records welcomes the dutch duo RCHTR & Invalid Request for their explosive debut release, Radiation EP.

Each track is crafted for peak-time floors heavy, hypnotic, and uncompromising showcasing the duos forward-thinking sound while staying true to the labels ethos of cutting-edge underground techno. Mastered by: Conor Dalton

Kai Pizer makes his interstellar debut on Abstraction with a mind-bending EP of bleep-soaked, Sci-Fi-infused Techno. Fusing modular bleeps, alien transmissions, and mechanical grooves, this release explores the sonic possibilities of deep space and synthetic reality.
A sonic portrait of letting go and the quiet pull of memory. Across five tracks, Voice Of Tone explores the tension between separation and return, stillness and intensity. Deep bass pressure, metallic resonance and fragile melodies capture the moment where past and present collapse into one. Failure to Return is a cinematic reflection on what remains after everything has changed.
w&p by Mike Storm PRESS: In a world where data streams and signals constantly shift, Mike Storm explores the boundary between order and chaos. Signal Drift is a sonic journey through interference, delay, and digital echoes — where technology finds its own rhythm. With titles like Binary Fade Sequence, Packet Sstream, and Ping to Nowhere, Mike Storm constructs a landscape of pulsating frequencies and mechanical groove. Each track acts as an autonomous signal, drifting through an endless network of time and space. The EP carries Mike Storms unmistakable signature: precise, hypnotic, and futuristic — a pure translation of machine intelligence into human form.
Dubwise dystopian riddims carve through layers of organic pulse, their pathways sculpted by live modular manipulation. Improvisational energy and evolving atmospheres collide, dissolving boundaries between machine precision and visceral human intent.
