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.

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.
Sci-fi techno pioneer Scalameriya returns to Perc Trax for his first release on the label in over three years. Since then hes been busy growing his Void+1 empire whilst building up his hardware only live set which will be rolling out around Europe soon.Aurifex Rex is Scalameriya at his most intense and forward thinking, twisting sound into new forms and combining these timbres with the heavily processed vocals that made his Perc Trax hits such as Let My Flesh By Your Sacrament so unforgettable.Opener Aurifex Rex is the vocal centrepiece of the EP, glitching and stuttering it constantly builds from start to finish unlike anything you will hear outside of Scalameriyas own music. Next up Psybernetix is a classic Scalameriya percussive roller, the kind that perfectly fits into a DJs set and refuses to leave for months to come.The second half of the EP is comprised of two versions of It Stared Back. Scalameriyas original mix is built on a huge synth riff that also contains just a hint of orchestral drama. Have real work instruments finally broken into Scalameriyas alien sound universe? Youll have to ask him yourself. Closing things off Perc Trax boss man Perc remixes It Stared Back, serving up a club ready mix as rolling percussion is interrupted by the sudden drops that Percs best productions are known for.
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

Asymmetric head Inigo Kennedy returns to his label with a first-class five track EP Welfare Syntax. Nuts And Bolts kicks off the release in functional style; a solid kick, undulating organ-like stabs and skittering hats blending in seductive balance. Next up is Totality, a steady foreground rising and falling, set to a four-to-the-floor beat and joined by optimistic tones and playful percussion. Centering the release is Subterfuge, an altogether edgier proposition; jittery shards introduce the track before the bass shifts up a gear and kick strengthens. Title track Welfare Syntax follows; a classic Kennedy combination of optimism and melancholy, sounds growing and fading through the track and set against a driving beat. Bringing the release to a close is Yorukage, taking things deeper and slinkier and oozing with menace and an addictive charm.
Analog Decay proudly announces its debut release: a powerful statement of intent from the label, rooted in raw aesthetics and a deep reverence for the analog medium.

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.
Impérieux (aka Alper Durmush) is a beatmaker extraordinaire hailing from Kırcaali / Kardjali: since antiquity a hub of mythical music, located at the crossroads of Bulgaria, Turkey and Greece. After conquering the hearts and feet of the scene with his stunning debut album Rezil and the follow-up Fena EP, Impérieux caps off his stellar year with a seven track mini album on Macro. Its effortlessly mesmerizing tracks consolidate the outlines of forward-leaning club music. Experimentation is a well-established facet of Impérieux approach to the adventurous techno (left)field, but the In and Out EP brings to the table his most condensed dance floor material so far. Holistically captivating hooks, bass lines and rolling rhythms: The next step after several years of exploration and refinement. Unpredictability, bound together by a consistent, modernist glint. From the raw jacking of Gips to the warm euphoria of Baka, from the darbuka frenzy of Duman to the cutting friction of Trese - a triumph.

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.

The EP carries Mike Storms unmistakable signature: precise, hypnotic, and futuristic — a pure translation of machine intelligence into human form.

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.
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.
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.
Voal Vand and Shoal reveal five more cuts on their home label ISOTOOP, taken from the pairs time living together in Utrecht. Whereas the debut EP, Saffron, dropped the listener into psychedelic aesthetics and atypical rhythmic structures, the sequel Jinx has a more crystal-cut vision of club music, made for no less exploratory dancefloors. Possessing a natural progression almost as fluid as a contiguous live set, with imagination each track can form the basis of the next through the fingerprints of a barely-perceptible ghost leaving a piecemeal narrative impression, an exposure in negative that develops over repeated exposure to the five versatile tracks. Relative to Saffrons sidestepping repertoire, this latest EP goes for the jugular with insistent club dynamics from the get-go. Summoning steps on air, a self-contained package of breezy dancefloor initiation and escalation, all-in-one, and from the foothold of this thermal vortex Crosswind ups the drama with storm-hued dynamics and blustery club debris. The knife of aesthetics is freshly sharpened for the flip: Jinx takes the record out of earthbound atmospheres and deep into sci-fi territory. A jigsawwing bassline seems to drill ever-deeperinto an expanding landscape, as it does so uncovering small sonic treasures locked in the bedrock. A mirror to this scene, The Chain digresses with bubbling verve and psychedelic strut, a combo-finishing left hook that simultaneously holds playfulness alongside dour dramatics, a duality shared by vinyl-exclusive closing track Ouah, which blows out the lights with a smirk, and premium hallucinatory dub psychosis.
Label boss TWR72 returns with Get Out of My Mind, a personal EP shaped during a long period of illness and mental struggle. The title speaks for itself a direct reflection of the thoughts and emotions that refused to leave his head. TWR72 blends fusing percussion and pulsing rhythms with his trademark stripped-back sound. On this release, two contrasting versions are both bound by his signature groove and rhythmic precision. Get Out of My Mind is raw, honest, and a message to all who are dealing with mental struggles.
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.
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.
Lidvall lands on Gordo Trax with an EP that distils whats made him one of the most prolific, in-demand producers of recent years: a singular voice, unmistakable sound design and unapologetic bite. This is character, front and centre. The journey kicks off with Defeated, all magnetic tension and forward thrust, before burrowing into the pressure cooker of Vault, where impact and atmosphere lock like precision parts. Nameless Endless tightens the spiral with a faceless, hypnotic momentum, and No Plan B snaps the floor to attention—decisive, focused, sweat on the ceiling. The mantra arrives with What Are You Waiting For: a hook that bites and returns, a functional earworm built for late hours and hard turns. Finally, Finalversion3 reshapes the title cut into a remix of expansive pressure—air opened up, edges sharpened—primed for the decisive moment in the set. Essential Lidvall: muscle and detail, head and gut, identity over fashion. High-grade techno with a signature all its own.
Korben Nice returns to the label with a mystic EP called The Dark Lake. From the swampy, atmospheric opening to the deeper, immersive tracks like The Dance of Reality and The Dark Lake, the EP takes listeners on an enchanting journey.

The EP also features a remix by our good friend Ignez, a producer who has rapidly risen in the scene over the past years. His remix is packed with funky, hard-hitting sounds, a true crowd-pleaser for creating special moments.

After appearances on Soma, MORD, RSPX and more in the past few years, Mexicos Fixon drops his first Hardgroove Records EP, UFO Wrangler. Taking in four tracks of tightly wound, swing-heavy Techno, the UFO Wrangler EP displays the technical and musical nous that Fixon has built up in his twenty-five-year-plus career. Title-track UFO Wrangler kicks o the EP with clipped vocal samples playing o a fluttering melody, creating a rhythmic lock atop the tracks already heavy groove. Damp Palms doubles down on the musicality, with another earworm lead balancing the percussive cut beneath, while Scented Words ramps up the tension with a claustrophobic, truncated synth ri. Closing out, Instructions utilises a staccato string stab that gives an aggressive but musical energy to a 909 tom-driven peak time destroyer.

A confident debut from Bob Semp — inventive, precise, and full of subtle energy.
With Reverb of the Gone EP, THEGOD01 ventures into a rarefied, otherworldly space, drawing inspiration from metaphony: the controversial and fascinating practice of attempting to capture voices and messages from the afterlife through audio devices, radio static, and analog recordings. For THEGOD01, this isnt about superstition or traditional spiritualism. The attempt to communicate with invisible dimensions becomes a tool for expanding consciousness, a means for human beings to transcend material limitations and access higher states of awareness. Metaphony is not just a medium for contact, but a mirror of the inner self: what echoes from the other side ultimately reflects who we are. Sonically, the EP reflects this tension between worlds. Two tracks, Afterlife Glitch and Intermodulation Ritual, follow a solid 4/4 structure, unfolding through a techno language that is dark, abrasive, and hypnotic, blending rhythmic pressure with dense textures saturated in inter modulated signals and ghostly resonance. The title track, Reverb Of The Gone, is instead built on a broken beat structure, as if the fracture of linear time were necessary to open a passage through reality. Here, glitch is not a malfunction, but the encrypted voice of the unseen. With this release, THEGOD01 merges ritualistic electronics and metaphysical inquiry, tracing a path that challenges both the ear and the mind.

Following a string of acclaimed releases on Soma, Lakej cements his role as one of the labels most distinctive voices in contemporary techno. Static Future marks not just a continuation but a refinement of the hypnotic minimalism he has become known for—pushing

ESHU3EX / SNA016EX ESHUs main man Ivano Tetelepta strikes again with a double drop of EPs on his EX-series. The series, spread over both his ESHU and Siena imprints, are limited to his own productions and are cut on small amounts of dubplates that are spread between local record hub Waaghals Nijmegen, the ESHU Bandcamp page and his own Bandcamp page. On the ESHU part of this diptych Tetelepta kicks off with a classic 90s techno trip, something that we havent heard often from his hands. Its a high tempo roller with dusty percussion and heavenly pads (to honor the titels meaning). Flipping to the other tracks we get into more familiar dub heavy territory. An introvert smoked-out groove sets the tone, followed by a stuttering rhythm built up by glitches and chimes. To cover all Teteleptas sides, the fourth track represents his housier repertoire. Heavenly melodies and slow paced hazy rhythms close this well rounded first chapter and represent everything Tetelepta is known for. Jumping to the Siena slab, it gets more experimental. Siena has always been an imprint for experiments and impromptu jams. The ten track journey contains misty field recordings, haunting drones and captivating melodies. Its a very personal document of feelings transformed into frequencies, straight from the soul to the soundboard.
