Each volume in the series will showcase a single track built around relentless percussion, hypnotic groove architecture, and the duo's unmistakable production precision. The concept is simple—one track, maximum impact. Mastered By Conor Dalton @ Glowcast Mastering

Be As One

SWAY opens a new chapter in its history, passing 100 releases with this 101st release. We've tried to stay true to the vibe we called techno 30 years ago, and still do today. This release also sees another debut act on the label: CRTB, bringing some really interesting ideas to the table. One track with a synth bassline, one with more percussion, and one deeper cut. By now you know what to expect, three tracks ready to play!

With the No Contour EP, Axel Karakasis delivers four techno cuts built around movement, pressure and control. The tracks evolve through subtle shifts and continuous drive, keeping the energy locked. A functional yet nuanced release aimed at the dancefloor, where flow and progression matter more than obvious impact.

Dillema: From 2004 to the Future Originally released in 2004, "Dillema" marked Shinedoe's debut track on the Dutch label 100\%\% Pure. It became an instant classic! The track found its way into the record bags of virtually every major techno DJ, defining an era with its tough, funky, Detroit influenced groove. The title Dillema refers to a state of tension, choice, and duality mirroring the track's layered structure and driving push-and-pull energy. Shinedoe intentionally chose the alternative spelling "Dillema" simply because she liked how it looked better visually. The unconventional spelling became part of the track's identity and attitude, reinforcing its independent and uncompromising character. Now, in 2026, Dillema returns with a fresh set of remixes that bridge generations, honouring the original while reinterpreting it for today's dance floors. Dillema (Original – 2004) Timeless Detroit-inspired techno, built on tension, groove, and raw momentum. Dillema (Gregor Tresher Remix) A driving techhouse interpretation, blending hypnotic rhythms with a sleek, modern edge. Dillema (Alexander Kowalski – Pressure Remix) A powerful, high impact techno version built for peak-time intensity. Dillema (Alexander Kowalski – Digital Only Remix) A deep, dubby techno reinterpretation, exploring darker textures and immersive space. With these new versions, Dillema once again proves its timeless relevance, reintroduced for a new generation while remaining deeply rooted in its original spirit. Shinedoe is a driving force in the global techno scene for nearly three decades, known for her hypnotic grooves and uncompromising vision. Through MTM, she continues to push the boundaries of electronic music, releasing tracks that ignite dancefloors and evolve the genre. ————————————— MTM (Music That Moves) Founded in 2018, MTM is the latest venture by Amsterdam-based techno maven Shinedoe. Having been jointly responsible for the long running and hugely influential Intacto label, Shinedoe's new imprint is a vehicle for her own special musical vision. Focussing entirely on Shinedoe productions, MTM (Music That Moves) is the home for precision techno with soul - literally music that will move you in every sense.

FLASH Recordings resident Anml Mthr returns with a raw four-track EP in his signature style — groove-infused, gritty and built for the floor.

One month later. Cat had been discharged early in the morning, so he had the rest of the day ahead of him — ideally to be spent in good company. The Professor was waiting at the reception to sign the remaining documents. Suddenly, the elevator doors opened, presenting Spacelunch with his renewed companion. "Hey, Fluffy! You're healing like a dog!" "I've got nine lives, remember? Did you bring the gift?" Their tight hug marked more than just a reunion. Life has a way of putting things back into their place — often to teach a lesson. Sometimes a harsh one. What once seemed insurmountable can suddenly feel harmless, even amusing, when one faces a real threat. "Let's go to Melvin's — we'll surprise him!" "I knew you'd say that, Doc. Let's grab some wok on the way." Like that, after a bit of preparation, the two friends stood in front of Melvin's apartment. They exchanged a glance and decided to scare him with a loud knock. After the first bang, the door creaked open slightly. No one was inside. The place was in disarray. At first, it felt like a failed prank — but there was nothing funny about it. On the table lay a crumpled note, covered in strange symbols and numbers. Their return to normal life had come much sooner than expected…
