UK infected acidic cyber techno.

The long-awaited debut of Alvin Aronson, scientist-in-residence at White Material. Warm, sub-heavy grooves, with pristine, expert synth-work; and two subtly atmospheric interludes.

At last, after a long break: WM006. A four-track EP by Morgan Louis - from the 004 showcase - plus three locked grooves. Pedigree, locomotive, deep steppers.

The label say "While the 'Kepler' planter is still investigated it's time to get some reports from the ongoing interplanetary mission. Remixing tracks is not an easy task and only solid cosmic craftsmanship would do the job. The ClekClekBoom orbital station has luckily found two special extra crew members for this tricky and delicate operation.

Blinding Beatdown House/Electronica EP

Superb weirdness!

Edinburgh's techno master Stephen Brown is an artist with a distinct sound, a sound that he has crafted over 20 years from his works on legendary labels such as Djax-Up-Beats, Transmat, Subject Detroit, Theory, Skudge and of course on his own Realtime imprint.

Back in stock! Back in March 2003 Claro Intelecto announced his arrival in the electronic world with his Peace Of Mind EP on Ai Records. Now, a decade later, Delsin, the label on which he released his latest LP, is re-releasing it in all its glory. Across four perfectly formed tracks the EP proved Manchester's Mark Stewart to have a fine grasp on techno, electro and dub, and that he was able to do his own unique things with each. Arguably the most well known cut from the EP is 'Peace of Mind (Electrosoul)', a busy bit of chattery house-come-electro that is wired up with many zithering melody lines and Claro's trademark lush strings. 'Tone' is then a much more frazzled and aggressive bit of techno with raw, slapping percussion, gurgling synth lines and plenty of dystopian electro vibes. 'Contact' then settles into a deep, dubby, spacious groove with airy hi hats and a delightful bassline and carries you along effortlessly, and final track 'Signifier' closes things out in beautifully serene style with ambient swirling pads, organic synths and a curious bassline that rises and falls like the tide. Seminal stuff that still fetches a high price on Discogs, it was the start of a remarkable career for Claro Intelecto.

Satori´s acclaimed Electronica album “In Between Worlds” gets the first bunch of Remixes by some great artists: Acid Pauli, The Micronaut, Mario Aureo, Kris Davis and Änimal

30drop deepens in the mystique of Sacred Geometry with its second release, Vortex Resonance EP. Based on the theoretical and intentional, but not formal, Techno foundational precepts, a deliberately contemporary stylistic overdevelopment is build. This time, we find four cuts that highlight the rhythm in view if the Space dance floor. Beating pulses are interwoven with cosmic atmospheres to travel beyond our planetary borders.

Vacuum Geometry EP is the first release of the 30drop project. Four tracks have been edited, to further on be understood as a conclusion of the experiment and evolution of Detroit Techno on one hand, and as a dark and industrial european Techno on the other hand. With this, a new a mix of styles is born, acquiring a particular and differential sound expressed by hypnotic, synthetic and cosmic textures, and by oppressive and evocative pads.

Stomping. Industrial Leaning. Excellent Techno 12 Inch

After nearly 25 years of releasing music, the South Coast techno pioneer has just completed a busy 2013, including a remix for Juan Atkins' Metroplex Records and is pushing his own DOT Records to new heights. Here, Aubrey has followed up his earlier Ferox releases "Abstractions" and "Inner Feelings" with two super deep cuts on this techno jazz fuelled 4 -tracker.

Loopy, straight to the point techno. Split Image, debut for the first release of New Dimensions - a label who's style is akin to the likes of Foundation Sound Works.... among others! TIP!

For Blue Hour’s third release, 'Reference 97' follows up on the hugely successful introduction the UK producer made last year with his new self-titled imprint. It collects three raw and powerful 909 driven techno tracks, featuring the atmospherics characteristic of the producer’s sound.

'Moments' shares the fluttering kicks and wistful melodies with the title track, while 'Don’t Speak' delivers a jacking groove with a hint of classic Dance Mania. Three tracks (and one lock), built to stir the dance floor in 2014...

Mr.G opens the new year with a bouncy and oldschoolish 12 on his home label Phoenix G. Ferm and deep kickdrums that are being accompanied by lengthy chords and a frequently return male vocal that states, bounce. All and all this is the dancefloor music we are used to from Mr.G. The A2 brings a more technoish vibe to dance to. This fits perfect in the modern trend of bass producers turning techno. While of course G is somewhat more of a legend and he didnt just turn to this type of music recently. It does proove that he is still abel to catch any kind of vibe to get the people moving. On the B1 we find a Ben Sims remix. Which of course is enough said. Mr Sims turns the A2 original into an absolute floor wrecker.

Hailing from Bucharest, Romania, Eddy and Levii aka Vinyl Speed Adjust deliver "Groovin N Moovin", a three track 3 EP that excellently shapes the sound that brought their homeland the well deserved attention, yet breaking the pattern.

The Console commander also known under his moniker "Acid Pauli" again asked befriended producers to remix tracks from his album "Herself". After Douglas Greed, Marek Hemmann, Wareika and Dirty Doering it is now up to Daniel Bortz, Der Dritte Raum and Nu to reinterpret the Console’s songs and tickle new facettes out of original material.

This is the first of a 2 volumes series by Crackboy dedicated to raw ghetto house and techno rooted in Chicago (think Armando rather than Larry Heard) on The Thing and Detroit on The Dirt (think Carl Craig's project 69). Both tracks come with useful dub tools for the real DJs out there. "Pure analog power by a true master."

Fasten Musique right now is presenting the eighth record. We introduce Italian conquerors Giovanni Verrina and Germano Ventura from All Inn, Howl, Only 300 Family with 3 sophisticated original tracks of intense bass line and minimal groove and also a well integrated rhythmic and melodic structures track remix from Vlad Caia and Cristi Cons as SIT (Sideways Invisibility Theory). Vinyl Only!

The project named after his own label brand presents four cuts ranging from cosmic quantum nervous compulsion to introspection. Harmonious combination of complex percussive rhythms gives way to the already identifiable sonic universe of 30drop that turns into an effective formula at any club aimed at the forefront of the electronic dance music. Sacred geometry and style, concept and form, all to the service of the fundamental search. The roots are deep and horizon is vast. >Superconductivity EP< extends the scope of 30drop positioning on the edge of the sideral dance floor.

Harry Klein Records is back. The first contribution comes from Giorgia Angiuli. Born and raised in the deep South of Italy, Giorgia is a classic example for a inimitable talent when it s about combining different styles of music. Either playing live on stage or recording in the studio ? her unconventional manner of reception and rendition, same on stylistic as on technical issues, allows her to create unique moments through her music. In this sense her forthcoming EP, named Nebula, is a contribution to the multiple diversity which marks the electronic scene nowadays more than ever. It s taking us on a journey through the facets of heart-warming house, straightforward techno, and the fields of intense and dreamy pop, always reminding us of what s really essential in music.

After the Primal Scream, Janzon is about to bring Germany’s motorcity Stuttgart back to the map of real quality techno with a bunch of stories – hidden in mysterious soundspaces. Twisted Dust faces the evil and the brave into two trippy and energetic primetime tracks with futuristic aesthetic on the A-Side, as well as the magic of funkiness and dark rituals on the B-Side. A coherent EP, between different atmospheres on the dancefloor and emotions in the art galleries.

Peder Mannerfelt is known as ‘The Subliminal Kid’ and as part of ‘Roll The Dice’ alongside his own releases on Digitalis, We Can Elude Control and Stockholm LTD. Here we find him collaborating with Simon Haydo (also well established on DEM) for their first Avian appearance with five intense, unnerving and varied tracks…

Next Manzel by the mysterious unknown. Proper spaced out and spooky techno for the dark hours.

Lower Parts is a Greek label involved in music, fashion, art and multimedia projects and it has been since 2013. After starting by showcasing lots of local talent, next up on the label is international talent Andreas Gehm aka Elec Pt1, who gets remixed by Damcase and Anoplois. German Andreas is an acid and techno innovator who has released on Mathematics and Chiwax and here comes correct with two great new cuts.

The Roughness!

Manuel Gonzales aka MGUN, steps up to the plate for FIT SOUND with an EP that is equal parts diverse, epic and RAW! From the basement techno of "Wide Eye", to the scuffling acidic "Debit, and finally onto the melodic/ melancholic sound of "M.S.C.", Essential music from the underground for the underground!

Revealed last year as a side project by UK producer Shifted, Covered In Sand now returns with a new EP: Crescent Shaped Scars will be released on the sister label of his own Avian imprint Mira, which serves as an outlet for the more experimental and duskier side of electronic music.

The release features three abrasive noise workouts. Thud of drums and ritualistic rhythms define the opener Luarica on the A-side alongside a near-melodic whine that stays present throughout the tracks. Orapa (An Interview) on the flip swallows and evokes scuffed voices of a conversation, striving into isolation, while Venetia resumes the haunting rhythm and layers of distortion.

Natch Records delivers a solid and diverse four tracks ep. Two originals which best represent the latest evolution of the label to a more powerful and straightforward sound. On the other side the remixes by Jeroen Search and Zadig offer really devious and unexpected interpretations, really efficient but still demanding on the dancefloor. A title which is foreshadowing fiery times and a massive, long-awaited release!

Informa Records 7th instalment "Depth Surroundings EP" exhibits four original works from Deepbass (Informa Records, Dynamic Reflection) & nAX_Acid (Aconito Records, Phorma). Both artists have provided stripped back hypnotic productions immersed in deep tones and intense evolving atmospheres. INFORMA007 stays true to the label's distinctive sound while it delves even deeper into the depths of the abyss.

Remix by Kenny Larkin!

Since meeting in Vienna in 2013, Paul Walter and Frankfurt-born Felix Rupprecht have built a solid friendship that has resulted in equally solid musical collaborations over the years. One of the fruits of this collaboration was "Chitlin Circuits EP", the second release on Paul's Meduka imprint in 2015 — now available on vinyl again.

'Love Me' (a1) and 'Organized' (b1) are exactly what you would expect from all-night jam sessions together: a fusion of Paul's exquisite talent for creating twisted but straightforward minimal grooves and Felix Rupprecht's love for broken beats and electro. The result? A full-bodied, often quirky, mostly cerebral and bold EP of unconventional drum arrangements, quirky bass lines, snappy drums, modular squelches, granular samples and computational synth equations.

The anonymous entity 'CHPTR' derived from undefined controlled sequences progressing into endless alienated narratives, all live recorded and captured on the eponymous label, CHPTR.

Soma mainstay Deepchord returns with part 2 of the Luxury Series. This Double A release feature Deepchord s signature atmosphere rich tones and lush environments and also mark a slight upturn in terms of pressing on a more Techno vibe.

Luxury 3 opens as spacious as can be as the dynamic Modell crafts otherworldly pads and haunting tones, driven by muted kicks and driving subs. His effective use of delay and reverb knows no bounds as he subtly shifts synth stabs and background noise through the dimensional barrier, creating rhythms so refined they defy the natural law. His usual percussive wizardry is at work here that, whilst vigorous, retains a light atmospheric feeling keeping fully in line with the melancholic tones of the track. Clocking in around 14minutes, this is Modell as his most immersive.

Luxury 4 has a distinct Detroit heart to it. Those almost instantly recognisable saw waves, moulded by layers upon layers of processing, swirls and evolve and Deepchord slowly works in various elements of the track to unparalleled levels. Fairly reminiscent of earlier, more stripped work, subtle percussion brings things to life fairly quickly as Modell allows the layers of ethereal synths and processing to blend and fuse naturally, creating a cohesive background to which the listener can easily spend hours listening to, every time finding ever so slight nuances to each cycle of the track.

Deepchord never fails to impress with every release and can easily change his style up from previous incarnations based in pure atmospherics to his own unique brand of legendary Dub Techno

Anyone who followed the development of house music made in the usa in the last decade will certainly have met the art of Fred Peterkin aka Fred P aka Black Jazz Consortium.

His musical set phrase isn't following new trends. Fred is often simply melting shuffling percussions with elementary melodies. but he does it in a sense that the heavy used and abused phrase "deepness" finally gets a fresh truthfully new meaning.

This new project is directed by Miho in collaboration with Robert Drewek, the owner of respected label RAWAX. It is a special edition ”RAWAX - AIRA EP vinyl series".

Concept and mission will always be, to connect and invite great musicians who produce and create "essence of the real music”, not following the trend but let the music speak itself with groove, melody, vibe, energy and soul....

Roland has made evolution in dance music all over the world in 80's, Music needed those machines, and machines needed those creators of music. AIRA are not rehashing of the legendary original TR or TB, But respecting those great machines from the past, AIRA continues to evolve toward into the future simultaneously, newly developed, new generations tools to keep the music alive and to bring more possibilities for the future.We seeks out this exciting movement of dance music history, as the music lover who has actual experience the flow of this evolution, and connections between musicians and machines to make their musical pieces on this project to inspire listeners and to challenge the genres they represent by each series.

2022 repress

Hot as lava! Broken English Club delivers the 4th chapter of Jealous God! Comes as usual with a Mix CD.

2021 Repress. Another irresistible one-liner on the dance-floor that can’t be missed or forgotten. So much sex and attitude, so few elements. A staccato kick-snare rhythm, a robo-funk synth line, a futuristic pad, a detuned ride, a cheeky vocal hook and a one-note acid line that brings it all together. That’s it. All you need if you know what you’re doing and have an experienced pair of Canadian Electro-godfather balls intact. Tiga has made a career out of being catchy: from Sunglasses to Mind Dimension, from Plush to Pleasure From the Bass, from You Gonna Want Me to Let’s Go Dancing. How does he do it?? It’s his ability to drop a clever turn of phrase that separates him from the pack, but the strength and character of his production choices keep things clear of kitsch and make him a perennially hot-tipped cool-commodity everywhere from the great American EDM stage to the hallowed-haus of Panorama’s deep underground credibility. His career is like a Veyron - stable AND insane. So listen to it, get it stuck in your head. This track is crazy dope, it doesn’t sound like anyone else, and it’s the most hip-hop thing all you house DJs are likely to fit into your sets this weekend so go on, get loose and take it for a ride. This is what Tiga had to say about the Vinyl-Only remixes 12″ : For this, my most personal record, i hand selected remixers of the highest order. Cliff Lothar, absolute legend, and current king of the enigma groove, delivers an absolute masterpiece. It’s seriously a 10 on 10, and I never say that. Vinyl only bitches. Perth Drug Legend, somebody else who I kinda know and yet totally don’t know (or I guess I just thought I knew) slams the ‘gatti with raw tribal funk: again suitable for a warehouse or a particularly forward-thinking car

Throughout these three tracks, Antigone attracts us in his technological and futuristic universe, an immersion in the spirit of this sound architect!

Only ONE Music presents another outstanding release from the past. This time it's Jaime read - Never The Future EP, originally released in 2010 on Elektrosouls Recordings. A must have item which will be availalable only on vinyl - highly recommended!

SNTS presents the last part of his double trilogy, this time called SCENE III. SNTS wanted to obtain a different view of one of the tracks of this release, and, in order to achieve that, he introduced a big star of the techno scene to this story, that artist is Shifted. Anonymity remains the centerpiece of SNTS. To convey feelings and sensations without a face reference or a name is the key point of this mysterious artist. This time the titles of the tracks refer to dates. You may never discover what events those dates belong to, but perhaps we can decipher something through sounds and their path. 20.01.1944 It reminds us of a battle in an eerie and desolate terrain in which each sound makes you move, observing what is happening around you. 20.01.1944 The version from SHIFTED is the story told from the outside of the bipolar world where is SNTS. 07.09.1981 It is a step in the course of a life that accompanies an atmosphere that breathes, but is not noticeable by other senses. 15.04.1946 Destruction, desolation and despair is reflected in this track. It definitely meets all the conditions to describe SNTS' sound.

SNTS is an underground techno label, commitment to the vinyl format as the main pillar and overall bring the electronic in the anonymity.

The ever-reliant Deepchord kicks off 2014 in his usual stylish way with two deep cuts in the Luxury EP. After last years jaunt into the ambient with 20 Electrostatic Soundfields, Rod Model return to the world of slick beats and even dreamier synths and atmospheres.

Luxury 1 ebbs in majestically as beautifully crafted layers of synths glide across field recorded drops of water that instantly play with your senses. Pumping sub bass fills the rest of the spectrum as Rod does what he does best by creating an unending slick groove, pieced together by crisp percussion.

Yet more atmospherics come into play in Luxury 2 as otherworldly field recordings are brought to life through the use of Rod's unique processing and layers of dream state synths. A perfectly worked groove seems to come out of nowhere and glides gently under the atmosphere; again subtle percussion ties everything together seamlessly.

The master of Deep Techno strikes again with nothing short of 2 elegant works that typify his skills as a producer.

The label boss is back with a new full length release, 4 cuts that goes on different areas of the Techno world in a very personal way. No fashion, no compromises, and no fear.

Crystal morning.
Sniffing quivering need,
running in the gutter,
where cold flesh circulates,
Where is he now?

From Another Mind, originally known as a series of eclectic dance events in Southern Germany, now released its debut EP “Nachtblende”.

Strictly underground funk, keep the crossover...

Going further into techno territory, Orphan Swords come back with a three tracks EP called "License To Desire" on Paris-Based Desire Records. Following the "Risk In The New Age" EP (2014), this new hypnotic release is probably their most powerful so far, concentrating EBM, minimal techno gristle and industrial electronics. This EP clearly relates to previous efforts such as "Caim" that has been described by XLR8R as "The grinding sounds and whirling blasts of white noise position the track directly in the realm of acts like Sandwell District and Richie Hawtin's digressive and hypnotizing Plastikman moniker." Make sure to check out the massive epic of 'Asmoday' and the textural sophistication of 'Hooker'. ORPHAN SWORDS is a Brussels-based duo previously described as "Oppressive industrial techno/drone pressure", “industrialslanted techno” or “new school industrial” by Boomkat, XLR8R and The Quietus, They have played supports for Vatican Shadow, The Body, Black Rain, Kyoka etc.and more. After --- releases on Idiosyncratics, an EP called "Risk in a New Age" was released on Desire Records in june 2014, it features a collaboration with NYC cult band Ike Yard. "Stunners, the lot of them!" said JUNO about that release. Following this, upon request of Desire, they made an official rework of Ike Yard's NCR/Cherrish8!
