since its launch in 2013, bright sounds has established itself as a label bridging the gap between the dancefloor and more experimental sounds, releasing eps by the likes of shlomo, tilliander, burnt friedman or more recently conforce. on its eleventh release, the label welcomes ben thomas aka bnjmn with “final network” ep, the uk producer based in berlin and releasing on tresor, delsin, counterchange or more recently on his newly founded imprint: tiercel. the ep opens up with “reticuli”, an ambient techno journey into a forest of otherworldly sounds. “neurocity” comes next with its rattling sounds met by disorienting and spooky melodies. on the b-side “cloaked” starts off with bare kick and congos before waves of drones add textures producing an eerie atmosphere. the title track closes this ep, slowly building to create an ecstatic floating mood, leaving you longing for more as it gently fades away.

french label bright sounds welcomes prolific dutch artist boris bunnik for a new ep under his most celebrated alias, conforce. the regular delsin artist saves this project for his more dance floor driven work and that is the case across all four of the atmospheric tracks here.

after been releasing techno monsters on the biggest labels on the planet (soma, ovum, drumcode, sci-tec) itamar sagi comes back with his first ep on his own lable -3r88 records-. the israelian techno master delivers 4 amazing cuts with his own unique sound signature, warm and filled with groove.

seth troxler’s always dynamite play it say it label kicks off 2018 with a thrilling three track ep from heartthrob. jesse siminski aka heartthrob has long been an essential voice in the global techno conversation. from early eps and lps on the influential minus label via a trio of releases on his own isnisnt, he has explored every facet of house and techno in great detail. always conjuring up bold melodies and slick arrangements, this is his first solo outing in a few years and marks a very welcome return.

composed and produced by burnt friedman between 1994 & 1999

after some killer releases on jelous god and blackest ever black, parisian producer tomas more aka december debuts on mannequin records with a 4 tracks ep for the death of the machines serie. slow industrial techno mixed with raw ebm-ish flavours.

mid november will see retrograde co-founder marlon hoffstadt pair up with paris brightledge for shattered. following a run of releases for his retrograde label and a track featured on the 100 dirt crew compilation berlin based dj and producer marlon hoffstadt continues his upwards trajectory, once again enlisting the services of legendary chicago vocalist paris brightledge who recently collaborated with paranoid london on their paris dub 1 & 2 records. stepping up first is the original mix of shattered with hoffstadt and brightledge delivered a raw, experimental house feel via broken drums breaks, sweeping synth chords and acidic bass chops, whilst paris vocal stylings add a soulful edge to the record.

la dame noir is one of marseille s most reliable outposts for serious disco-flavoured grooves both in the club and as a label, and now they make the leap to vinyl with a crucial collection of remixes from serious heads. pete herbert steps up first to rework m.u.s.i.q.u.e s -over to you-, turning the original into a simmering, noirish burner with speak and spell vox in the foreground. meanwhile herbert s take on nouveau rom s -timide comme un ange- is a looped-up dream of a groove that positively takes off when the peak section kicks in. dj steef then echoes the remix choices on the b-side, subtly edging the nouveau rom track into an even airier version before creating an emotional twist on -over to you-.

following on from march s shlømo remix package featuring donato dozzy, bambounou, shlømo and label boss kennedy smith, bright sound s second release of 2016 will new a brand new ep from sweden s andreas tilliander. with his releases on his own repeatle imprint and his tm404 alias s hardware-driven techno featuring on skudge white and kontra-musik, tilliander is among sweden s most versatile talents working right now. his arrival on bright sounds is of a piece with bsrx 004, last year s reissue of fellow swede henrik johansson s 1997 ep as smyglyssna. as with johansson s record, tilliander s stettin libau ep explores slower tempo techno, locating the moments of space and energy in between its rhythmic structures. this search is most keenly observed in knapp ledsyn , with its ever-shifting sonic landscape melting away at various points to reveal its unusual, skeletal beats and hidden melodic details, while the ep title track and nybliven lots apply that approach to what might at first be a traditional dub techno template, yet still offering further small moments of off-beat character. completing the release is a detox operation remix of knapp ledsyn from nonplace records chief burnt friedman, in which the german veteran strips things down to a gentle patter of drums overlaid with suggestive flashes of the original s rich atmospheric elements.

in the space of two short years shlømo has quickly established himself alongside the likes of marcelus, bambounou, francois x and the antinote records crew as a key figure in paris’ current techno generation. having established his own taapion records label in 2013 and built a roster around a core of local producers including roman poncet, pvnv and antigone, in addition to enlisting stephen brown, conforce and sterac as remixers for the label’s releases so far. for its fifth release, bright sounds - run by fellow parisian kennedy smith - revisits last year’s rechaïm ep (bsrx003), with a trio of remixers offering their own takes on shlømo’s established deep and expansive sound. first up is the aforementioned 50 weapons artist bambounou, who offers a dynamic groove-based version of the title track that bounces along an elastic kick drum with cut-up fragments of the original’s atmospheric pads providing further impetus. label owner kennedy smith takes on theory is the worst by bringing its dub textures to the for while filling the track’s empty spaces with intricate drum patterns. finally, italian techno pioneer donato dozzy turns grounded queen into a classic dozzy slow-burning techno trip, with his trademark layered sound complimenting the track’s subtle rhythmic backbone.

oid is the solo project of russian producer andrei antonets who is set to release his latest track bright side of life on pnn records 13/07/2015 born in riga and having lived in berlin, oid is now based in moscow, where he is inspired by the citys rapidly changing scene. bright side of life translates a sense of potential, it is upbeat without being commercial. the tracks singular sound has prompted the field, popnoname & j.p janzen (von spar) and mujuice all to produce remixes which will appear on the ep alongside the original. each of these deliver a unique take on this uncommon yet catchy tune.

new years deal - at times pacing, yet soothing and even a little narcotized, this is music for cruising, home listening and dancing, for making out and romancing.

bright sounds marks its fourth release by unearthing a hidden late-nineties techno gem: having been a long term fixture of kennedy smith s record bag, the bright sounds label owner leapt at the opportunity to reissue swedish producer henrik johansson s 1997 plug research ep as smyglyssna. carrying all the hallmarks of the dense, cerebral techno that has established the bright sounds catalogue so far, the reappearance of the dold ep on the label makes perfect sense as it continues to cement its place among the most exciting techno labels to emerge in the past 18 months. vinyl only release

bright sounds present their third release, from paris-based producer shlømo - owner of kindred spirit label taapion. having made a big impression in late-2013 with taapion s debut release the harvest ep (featuring conforce and stephen brown remixes), shlømo now presents his second full solo ep: rechaïm explores similar sonic textures to those found on taapion and bright sounds releases so far - a richly layered and dense world of dub techno atmospherics with dancefloor versatility. the four tracks all allow for different aspects of shlømo s exemplary production skill to shine through, marking the producer alongside bright sounds owner and fellow parisian as producers and a&r talents to keep close watch of.

second release from its berlin-based founder, kennedy smith. bsr002 (vinyl only) follows hot on the heels of the parisians recent electrifying debut for the double r, the white-hot new label from matt edwards (radio slave) and jamie fry (stablo). this latest triumvirate of original material finds smith taking his sound into a deeper techno direction, while still retaining the house grooves of his previous material. bsr002 provides further evidence of why kennedy smith and bright sounds are names to watch in 2014.

raw and moody house music. house music far away from clean, proggy or bling bling grooves. that’s what we all have in mind if we speak about simon ferdinand. after a little break simon is back on night drive music with another stunning ep. 180 gramm vinyl. shrinked.

berlin label bright sounds debuts with 12inch release from brighton-based dj & producer myles serge, a self-described reclusive perfectionist, whose haunting production sound reflects influences from early detroit & chicago electronic music. the inside the box ep collects three stripped down & floor-ready techno cuts:building blocks continues the detroit tradition of doing a lot with a little, piecing together a groove of subtle intensity by small increment

fenou no.17 is the first collaboration of powel & lake people aka lake powel. this wonderful symbiosis created two really charming tracks. with its melodious feel of late summer atmosphere these tracks exude charm to unwind and relax, just right for this time of year.

the ninth release from the mainrecords shop, on its eponymously titled label comes in the form of three tracks of slick late night electro from matt star, plus a remix from perseus traxx. with well over three dozen releases under his belt in one guise or another matt star aka mattias schildger is no stranger at all to production of high quality electronic music, as this latest ep clearly displays. happily blurring boundaries between house and electro, with its tight, crisp beats the release exudes a form of stripped back and honest late night cool with basses that bubble in a way sometimes reminiscent of ed dmx, while others lend more of a chicago feel accompanied by rolling toms. synth lines and arpeggiations cut in and out of subtle modulations giving the feel of anticipation one gets while tearing along the motorways of a city, late at night, the lights of the city and other vehicles brightly darting by, streaking and reflecting across the cars windscreen. perseus traxx delivers a subtle remix that remains true to the elements of the original and while adding a booming kick and some of his own production techniques, influences and grit to the mix, shows he isnt stuck in one genre or sound.

fiakun comes back again, after having released el_txef_as debut album and having received good vibes, this time to present from the deepest of the basque country, the oren bi guys. they have signed this fiakun 006 which is received with much love. the pair of musicians and in turn we could say that music lovers, focused the ep on the hottest house with some r&b leanings. besides, they are making use of synthesizers like the most exclusive moog to delight us with some arpeggios that evoke a purer era. these two hits are accompanied with a remix by sergio santos.
