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

Finnish deep techno maestro Kaspiann makes his Mantis debut with four densely packed depth charges of dancefloor meditation. The Helsinki-based artist has been entrenched in the citys underground scene for a long time, organising official and unofficial parties, DJing prolifically and performing live. Since establishing his VALA label in 2021 via a split release with regular collaborator Multicast Dynamics, his sound has refined towards an elegant, heads-down sound which is represented perfectly on this four-track excursion. 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.

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.

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.
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.
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)

French producer and hardware specialist Amandra returns to Nous'klaer with four stoic, minimal club tracks that are so delicate and deftly produced that they beg to heard as loud as possible and as quietly as possible, allowing the listener to inspect every nook and cranny of Amandra's sonic tapestry. Opener "Lavanvilla" rides a simple drum loop that's filled out by gated, beautiful noise that gets punctuated by vibey Rhodes 7th chord and a constantly evolving 16th percussion pattern that gracefully pushes that song forward. "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.
