We are proud to present Biochemical Metamorphosis by artist OCD as the final release on Noise Manifesto for the foreseeable future. OCD is Chiara Ricciardi, who we got to know at the queer parties of Gegen. Always impressing us with her delivery of the darker sounds of techno we love so much, it was obvious we needed to invite Chiara to Noise Manifesto. This EP was made during Chiaras journey, starting from her cancer diagnosis and completed just after her final chemo treatment. This EP is a testament to the courage it takes to face lifes challenges and emerge stronger on the other side. Here is OCD in her own words: This EP is a raw exploration of my journey through chemotherapy. Each track serves as a sonic snapshot of the emotions I felt during this challenging period. From the initial anticipation of the unknown, leading to feelings of despair and finally to the emergence of newfound strength to overcome cancer, this collection of tracks offers a deeply personal and honest account of my experiences. The progression through the EP, together with the artwork created in collaboration with artist Feo Melanin, reflects the increasing severity of the treatment and the psychological toll it took. The palette of reds is a direct reference to the chemotherapy medications I endured, while the abstract shapes represent this transformative process. This is more than just a collection of tracks; it is a personal narrative and a cathartic release.
In the stillness of the night, the owl reigns as a silent guardian of the shadows.

ANNĒ & SERA J return for the second edition of their Symbiosis series on Mutual Rytm. ANNĒ, known for potent techno on the likes of Soma and Hardgroove, and Nechto and Life In Patterns associate Sera J, have had standout years that have seen them put out a stream of essential club tracks. They are partners in both life and music, and the first volume of Symbiosis on SHDWs Mutual Rytm imprint was their first release together. Delivering an honest representation of their innermost feelings, having also contributed to the labels Federation Of Rytm III VA in February, this new six-track EP (plus bonus cuts) presents a mature and refined connection between their souls. The second instalment of Symbiosis reflects not only their deep personal connection, but also their collaborative synergy as musical peers with the same goals. The EP captures the essence of their mutual artistic journey and showcases the strength of their bond both in life and through their shared creative vision - to create a storyline through sounds coming from their souls and convey a narrative that many listeners may find relatable. SERA J kicks off with the lithe and melodically elegant techno of Your Soul Is Art which will have both heart and heels dancing. Illusions is a more heavy and dubby cut with paired back grooves and pulsing synths, while Glacial Pace is an urgent deep techno roller with turbocharged stabs and huge icy hi hats locking you into a trance. ANNĒ steps up on the B-side with Floating Waves exploring physical, chunky drum funk and raw synth textures. Planetary Dust is a dark and moody astral techno journey to the stars, before Sweet Seventeen brings a more melodic cut with a sense of hope and joy in the bright pads that shimmer above the glitchy grooves. Both artists also offer two digital bonus cuts with SERA Js Syncosonix and Space Velocity delivering perfectly reduced minimal techno monsters, while ANNĒs Gentle Loop and Starburst are interplanetary trips with widescreen cosmic synths.

The Architects of Shadows invites listeners to confront the forces behind the fracturing of Western societies in an era marked by profound political and cultural polarization.

Asymmetric main man Inigo Kennedy returns to his label with a superb five track EP Butterfly Effects closing out a busy 2024 for the label. Opening track Bit Glitter sets a jittering lead against a gritty driving rhythm; simple yet deadly. Up next, the title track Butterfly Effects pulsates in the best of ways; meditative Detroit inspired techno. A Heavy Agenda is just that; heavy kicks and intentionally attention-grabbing washes of sound. On The Ropes follows, a solid kick and playful echoes shifting in frequencies and timbre as the track progresses and so hard to resist.

Sungate joins friends and family with a V.A in support of the victims of the storms in Valencia. On October 28th, flash floods decimated the better part of the southern and western areas of Valencia, alongside many other points of Spain. What followed was a catastrophic event resulting in storm surges, collapsing bridges, thousands stuck on roads and streets, ultimately leading to a death toll that is now estimated over 200, and unfortunately, rising. Homes, animal shelters, businesses and families have been destroyed by this catastrophe. An event that caught thousands out in the street, heading to and from school, work, and daily lives unalerted. Severe warnings only got to our phones 10 hours after, despite being warned by weather centers and flood prevention institutions for days. With Sungates staff both residing and having ties to the city, weve decided to release Healing Rays, a compilation of 22 tracks by artists close to the label to gather funds to re-distribute to those most in need, buy essential products and help in the re-construction of a damaged region. We are joining a series of charitable releases from others in the city that has seen a wave of supporting press, and more importantly, an overwhelming amount of support. We are infinitely thankful to Marco Spaventi for mastering this release and all the artists that have given their music away for the cause. You can help us with this cause by buying the V.A in the following link: Thanks for your support. The Sungate team Sungate reúne a amigos y familiares en un VV.AA que tiene como objetivo ayudar a las víctimas de la DANA en Valencia El 28 de octubre, unas inundaciones repentinas diezmaron la mayor parte del sur y oeste de la provincia de Valencia, junto a otros puntos de España. Lo que ha sucedido ha sido una auténtica tragedia con marejadas ciclónicas, el colapso de puentes, miles de personas atrapadas en casas, carreteras, calles, y, en última instancia, una cifra de pérdida de vidas humanas que actualmente se sitúa por encima de los 200 pero que tristemente se espera que aumente durante los próximos días. Esta catástrofe ha destruido hogares, refugios de animales, negocios, y familias. Pese a que los centros meteorológicos y las instituciones de prevención de inundaciones habían alertado a las autoridades días antes, el aviso a la población civil no llegó a nuestros teléfonos hasta 10 horas después del inició de la DANA, lo que sorprendió a miles de personas en la calle dirigiéndose o volviendo del colegio o el trabajo Como el equipo de Sungate reside y tiene vínculos muy estrechos con la ciudad hemos decidido lanzar Healing Rays, una compilación de 22 temas de artistas cercanos al sello, para recaudar fondos y redistribuirlos entre los que más lo necesitan, ya sea para la compra de productos esenciales o para ayudar en la reconstrucción de la región. También nos uniremos a otros lanzamientos benéficos que han organizado en la ciudad, que ha visto una oleada de apoyo por parte de la prensa, pero sobretodo, y especialmente, por parte de la población civil. Estamos infinitamente agradecidos a Marco Spaventi por ocuparse del mastering de este lanzamiento y a todos los artistas que han colaborado desinteresadamente en apoyo a la causa

Coming up next on PM+, Brunnera presents some high-def, joyful techno that doesnt skimp on tasteful complexity. Youd need to have your ears chiseled into a fine point to have clocked Brunneras movements up to this point, skirting as they have around low-key corners of SoundCloud and one choice album carried by NX and Kit, two labels for those that know. When hes not chopping out self-styled whimsical breakcore as Glarc, Gordon Bruce makes brightly pointillist rave futurism that takes its cues from footwork, singeli and electronica. Wild-eyed and devilishly fast, Aulus slaps with more than enough purpose to get a party greased up, charged with the kind of day-go synth strikes we absolutely live for here in PM+ towers. Salad Week finds a crooked beauty in its faux-flute hooks and warm smudges of melodic familiarity, deftly snuck in between its spring-loaded percussion. Theres a discernible groove in the midst of the melee, keeping the lopsided brushstrokes on track to satisfy everyones mutant dancefloor desires in stunningly non-conformist fashion.
One of technos all-time greats, Outlander, is back after a lengthy hiatus.

Looks like it was yesterday, but we are now celebrating 100 releases at the Warm Up headquarters, and who better to put the celebration at the proper level than the label boss and curator Oscar Mulero. In a solid career spanning across more than 30 years, Oscar Mulero has developed his own signature in the global techno scene. These 22 songs are the culmination of a personal sonic journey and makes the seventh full album in his discography. Across this extended tracklist Oscar explores the most scientific side of techno, where abstraction and alien sounds collide with precise rhythms and ultra mental arrangements, diving deep into sound design and studio mixing techniques. On this voyage, the machine starts slowly, almost beatless on the first cut Aquí y ahora, slowly growing in intensity and groove on Percepción y conciencia and En un círculo vicioso. The fourth track Diálogo con la realidad pushes the BPM rate and goes into danceable areas yet preserving the bleepy pulses and precise drum programming. The tension stops in the middle of the tracklists with Laberinto, resetting the spacecraft before going again into hyperspace for three more upbeat songs. On a journey under your skin things go mental again introducing the listener into some ethereal atmosphere before the last quarter of this extensive alien opera. This album is a reflection of a timeless approach to techno, to the roots of this sound that was meant to represent futurism and undiscovered sound territories through minimalism and electronic funk. To give a written description of every piece included here would not give justice to the sounds encapsulated inside, we give you, the listener, the freedom to experience it in your own way, listening to this composition in its integrity as an abstract film soundtrack, to escape from current state of things and enhance your mind and body into another level of perception. Viaje interior will be brought to you in a limited edition four vinyl pack and also in digital format in the labels bandcamp.
In this next installment of Token, Brussels own Border One steps in to showcase Echoes from the Abyss, another swinging, modular-driven project destined for controlled sound systems. In these four tracks, the seasoned producer does what he knows best: engaging the dancefloor through his signature sound design and use of space. Echoes from the Abyss the track, like the EP, is a collection of sound associations that are synonymous with Border Ones sound. Resonant and cerebral yet bouncy and full of groove, the A1 presents a shimmering veil of synthwork that gives off a truly hypnotic effect. The follow up is much more sequence-based, focusing on the elements interactions. The producer plays along freely with his drum machine, responding to a classically loopy and dissonant main synth that insists its way from beginning to end. Tension is everything, especially when met with a sustained chord in the second half, turning the record into a weapon of suspense. Celestial Observer comes back straight and center with a focused tone and a progressive arrangement. With a thick low end and shrill highs, Border One flicks through percussion patterns and filter sweeps to make an intense, at times close eyed dancefloor experience. Ducking back into obscurity for the last track, Escaping the Void takes on a more minimally produced style that breathes a bit after its previous, denser productions. Concluding with a question mark is always very appropriate, and here were faced with a record caught between ethereal soundscapes and tense implications. With Escaping the Void, Border One closes with his latest contribution to Token with class as always, appealing to genre veterans and newcomers alike.
Soma label heads Slam, close out the year with a superbly crafted EP, showcasing their hypnotic & direct driving sound on the Flicker EP. This latest release encompasses various disciplines and strips things down to a pure and introspective heads down dance floor vision. Title track Flicker has all that usual Slam drive and attitude as rolling drums and sharp percussion are bolstered with a pulsing, warping synth hook. Volitantdelves deep as subaquatic atmospheres and tones are processed perfectly, delivering a backdrop of hypnotism. Aggregation strikes the final blow in this latest Slam release as driving and distorted synths sweep across a dynamic and vigorous track. Mastered by Conor Dalton @ Glowcast Mastering.
After an exceptional and well-received collaborative EP with Tina Ramamurthy on Amotik 014 earlier in 2024, Amotik picks up where he left off and delivers four sublime solo works for Amotik 015. His self-titled imprint, running since 2015, has been a steady home base for his own productions, quickly becoming an essential catalogue in modern techno. Here, once again, he delivers a full pack of pure techno jams. Whether its the swinging percussion hooks in Assi, the hypnotic groove of Unnasi, or the banging kick drums of Ikyasi, this is yet another essential release for every techno enthusiast.
The time has finally come to have Kwartz in this house again and we couldnt be more satisfied with the quality of the work he has delivered. It is clear that his new residency at the best techno club on the planet, Berghain, has helped his inspiration multiply exponentially and this is definitely reflected in this brand new work that leaves us wanting more. Four slices of techno with all the letters, which define exactly what the genre should be without seasonal additives, dynamic electronic dance music, without an expiration date, which could be signed thirty years ago or in the distant future. Mario does not entertain himself with extreme speeds, nor with predictable developments, nor with pre-cooked sounds. His approach to musical creation is slow and artisanal, meditating and maturing each of the ingredients he uses, without fear of being left out of the media radar. This entire procedure is reflected in the excellent result, The Golden Hour is a perfect example of everything said above. Strong and firm rhythms, constantly evolving arrangements, elaborate sound design and a firm dance attitude. Enter The Zone turns the rhythm towards broken bass drums, slightly presses the accelerator and introduces disturbing atmospheres combined with organic percussion details in a masterful way. A true catalyst for expert mixers. On side B, Under Control once again breaks tradition with a broken, hypnotic and continuous rhythm, a first-rate brain driller for the clubs peak moments. The EP ends with Animal Instinct, which does not lower the intensity one bit, adding an overwhelming rhythm with dynamic percussive details, with no room for rest, perfect for the dancers to travel to unknown dimensions.

Sleeper is a testament to his ability to bring variety while keeping the dance floor moving.

We warmly welcome Teakup to W133, presenting his EP Circuloid [W133D007]. The Ohio-based artist, who previously had appearances on eg. is / was, 17 Steps, Homage NY and Shut Off Notice, gifts us with five beautifully crafted originals. Starting off with the EPs title track „Circuloid he creates a humble and soothing atmosphere. The track makes you feel like youve lifted off the ground, and the resonance keeps you floating. For number two, we rumble into Gravity Blanket, a tech-house wobbler with driving bass work and later on dreamy pads. Next, it gets a little freaky with „Stumbling—stunning effects and the occasional creepy sound create a spooky atmosphere. The fourth number, Unconventional Warfare, is a resonator-driven marching tool. It moves forward with steady energy and introduces an uplifting arpeggiated melody line, leaving us in a happy yet curious mood. Last but not least, Teakup amazes us with „Doing, a nasty technoid stomper with acid-driven synth shots and dubby delayed stabs, which perfectly closes out the EP. The EP is out on 6.12. on all digital platforms. The artwork photograph is by Philipp Roth.

High impact bangers from Argentinian artist Zisko. You speak your truth, reach a climax, from the ashes and end at the dystopian paradise! A1 Speak Your Truth - literally sounds like its speaking out the truth, close to screaming in a funky loop, stomping it out A2 Climax - a more stripped tune that builds with tension and reaches a climax B1 From The Ashes - pure power, pure energy, rising from the ashes, incredible, insane and intricate percussion, driving towards the paradise that comes next B2 The Dystopian Paradise - the first tune that got picked for the EP, the final destination, a beautiful crunch into the dystopian paradise where its all groovy haha
More freaky acid waves from the unknown Lost Trax laboratories. A strong follow up to their previous Mind Over Matter EP on Delsin where they explored a more oldschool 90s electronics feel.

The Detroit style FM freakiness of Skin Walker and stabby 303 pulses combined with smashing rides on X1 will definitely get crowds moving!
Following his first public outing on the good ship PM+ back in February, Terry Cotta steps back into the ring with another pair of scintillating techno workouts steeped in piercing synthesis and rounded out with radiant charm. Dr. Feelsgood aligns title with mood on multiple levels, applying a surgical precision to the tracks gently evolving, linear arc while administering a strong dose of soul nourishment by way of the subtly joyous, harmonically charged tones. Much more than a banal happy clapper anthem, this chrome-plated love bomb taps into a more spiritual sort of uplift that promises emotional nourishment for everyone in the blast radius of the soundsystem. Neon Skull Implant rides a nagging jack that will get you popping off before theres even a tickle of whats to come. Its a tune running split agendas, getting low down and nasty with the artfully red-lined lead lick up front while pearlescent dub notes shape out the space over yonder with gleaming clarity. Cotta flexes his sound design pecs in the breakdown, busting that troublesome foreground tone out of its main loop in a flourish of mind-melting feedback before locking right back in to get your body over the line. Terry Cotta, hitting and never missing as an ambassador for the freak-flag waving techno you know and love from your friends at PM+.

Here is Parasit EP, Release 12 on Lmsk Record. The phrase Vad I Allsin Dar is an expression that intensifies a question, emphasizing the speakers confusion or inability to comprehend something. This concept inspired the EP. Frossa opens with a cold, driving synth sequence that gradually builds in intensity, layered over a steady rhythm punctuated by unpredictable moments. Sondpuls takes a similar approach but introduces three intertwining synth layers that ripple like transverse waves. Knuff features a driving synth line that serves as the guiding force, around which the other elements align. The EP concludes with Aska, delivering a moody & melodic yet gritty and heavy conclusion. All in accordance with our vision of playful & mischievous but always genuine techno. Crafted by Alexander Johansson & Mattias Fridell

Dimi Angelis presents ANGLS 14 - four raw, spaced-out, 909-driven tools in his characteristically direct and minimalistic style. Sparse, delicate sequences reverberate to provide a sense of space against classic drum patterns that build into a full workout. The A1 opens with Third Eye - a slow, tense build with heavy low end and terse percussion, setting the tone. Endorama on the A2 is driven by a living bleep - distorted, repeating, but never quite the same. Decka opens the B side with a remix of Intergalactic to provide a groove-heavy, sequence-driven and lethal interpretation of Dimis sound. Chrysalis rounds off the package on the B2 with a rolling 101 bassline and descending bleep that hypnotizes and controls the listener. Intergalactic originally appeared on ANGLS 13.

Help Valencia after the climate disaster. Raised funds will go toward assisting affected families. This is not a compilation; its a call for help to the international electronic community. On October 29th, flash floods devastated much of the southern and western areas of the Valencia province, along with several other regions in Spain. This catastrophic event brought storm surges, collapsing bridges, and left thousands stranded on roads and streets, ultimately leading to a death toll that is now estimated in the hundreds and, tragically, still rising. Homes, animal shelters, businesses, personal property, and families have all suffered immensely from this disaster—an event that caught thousands out on the streets, commuting to and from school, work, and daily life, with little to no warning. Severe alerts reached our phones 10 hours later, leading to even greater tragedy. Germanor, our word for brotherhood, embodies the spirit of this compilation. We aim to reach out and support our city and those who have been far less fortunate than ourselves. We are incredibly grateful to have such a diverse and talented community of music makers in the city, who have generously donated their work to aid in relief efforts. Our hearts go out to all those who have suffered loss.

A natural fit for the Token label and now a regular contributor, Nørbak presents his new release Flauta on the Belgian imprint. Keeping things driving and dense, his productions boast a raw intensity, continuing to describe spacious rooms with roaring atmospheres. The title track serves as a firm introduction to the project; Flauta is a typical Nørbak A1. Claps on the kick, thick sound design on all levels, and tribal percussion make for an imposing first track. Finding groove in the chaos is never difficult for the Portuguese artist, his seamless blend of functional and mental techno make for quite a recognizable sound with reliable effect. On the other hand, his followup Despida sharpens the tone and focuses its elements. Proving he can do just as much damage with a more minimal approach, Nørbak drops the claps for shakers and whips up a distorted stab as the main driver of the track. Despite the versatility of his records, there is something very homogenous about the tonality of his drums and synths - they seem electric, and Despida truly nails that aesthetic. Moving on to the B side, we have yet another facade of the project. While Golpe has a classic foundation, Nørbaks flamboyant sound design guides the tracks arrangement, making anything but a loop. The records structure makes for clear accents that insist on a pulsating atmosphere. This moves perfectly into the EPs conclusion. Camarada resembles more Despida in the minimal construction, retaining a lot of the squelching lead textures. Mastering the question/answer style of techno, Nørbak is able to capitalize on the tonality of his sonic experiments to create swing on the dance floor. Obscure, quick, and elusive, Nørbak wraps up Flauta with restraint and efficiency.

On Figure X45 we are presenting a new up and coming artist, Jancen. With only a handful releases under his belt, this promising young dutchman delivers immaculate productions that veer between the deep and the jacking, always powerful and driving but with a strong sense of groove pervading throughout. His opener Quintessence leans on the hypnotic side, distilling the effect of a mesmerizingly simple loop reduced to the beauty of its essential elements. Racking up the momentum is tightly bouncing Elusive, riding a funky acid riff that transforms the track into one of those unexpected moments of raising the energy mid-set. On the B-side, Jancen showcases his talent of building mind-expanding dub-techno excursions, as the echoes of Diminished Dub roll out while even packing some proper propulsive percussion on top! Final track Unattributed takes us way down the rabbit hole into atmospheric trippy territory as searing hats pave the path ever further into the belly of the beast. For buyers of the digital package, Frostbite sits somewhere in between all of the above, combining sparse stabs of resonant synths with thumping kicks and a pumping rhythm to find that complex equilibrium of depth and charge. Stay tuned for more tracks from Jancen to keep you warm later this winter, coming right here on Figure.
Pyramidal Decode returns home after his Logical Interference EP from 2022, his soundcrafting has evolved significantly since then and now its time to provide us with a full length album, traveling across many sound paths, from completely beatless to pure floor action. Nine tracks that are meant to be listened in a row, telling a sonic story, carefully crafted and arranged a crescendo that starts from static bleeps and textures to broken rhythms across pure gymnastic tools and ending again in a relaxed mood. On the first four tracks the sound is minimal and scientific, starting with Climate Change, a solitary reverberated bleep spiced with micro noises going into the sci fi inspired Novel Entities, beatless but intense, ideal to be used as a mixing tool with a proper beat. Next comes Stratospheric Ozone Depletion floaty and liquid, the pure sound of non gravity. Action starts with Atmospheric Aerosol broken fast groove, heavy sub bass action and shuffled percussive work make this track the perfect tool for igniting any proper club. Ocean Acidification is a no remorse modern techno workout, direct to your feet but with a mental approach while Biogeochemical Flows goes martian and bleepy in a kind of futuristic interlude, bringing us to stress and dance again with Freshwater Use phrenetic and hypnotic all in one. Land-System Change slows down the pace, bringing the broken rhythms again and also employing bleeps and elastic resonant sound to start the descending from outer space. Finally, Biosphere Integrity brings us to the quiet and beatless feeling in a beautiful IDM exercise spice with subtle acid sequences.
