after his joint ep with sascha sibler and his fabulous contribution for the ten years anniversary compilation of the label, daniel bortz returns to permanent vacation with his first solo ep since the infamous bella avgvsta trilogy. four tracks that are hard to pigeonhole and show the great variety of daniel bortzs production skills: you will find euphoric techno, hard hitting dub, cinematic breakbeats and heart warming electronica, all dancing harmonically in a giant echo chamber.

vinyl only, alex took his first musical steps by studying piano and guitar at the young age of 6. his fascination for the more outlandish, experimental side of each instrument corrupted his lessons and sent him down a modular synths and tape loop composition wormhole. years later alex resurfaced, got himself clean and, through connections made while spending time as a vocal audience member (and sometimes uninvited participant) at lyman woodard, phil ranelin, and other tribe- and motown-linked gigs in cass corridor during the mid-1970s, spent time as a session musician for earth wind and fire, chic, and prince. it was only toward the mid-90s he found himself enthralled by the techno and house sounds of detroit and chicago so he went into the woodshed and came out firing electronic salvos.

aus121 deadboys auogeides 77 aus welcome allen wooton aka deaboy for his debut release in ‘auogeides 77 wootons bold, rugged club music has really reached its zenith in recent years following key releases on local action and numbers, ‘auogeides 77 is no different. rough analogue drums, broody melodies and a smidgen of that uk flavour hes well known for all feature just in time for post festival heads down basement club season

as proprietors of the will & ink label, yaleesa hall & malin genie have been maintaining a busy and consistent release schedule of top notch techno sounds, largely releasing their own, well received, productions. the duo appeared on hypercolours 10 years compilation in 2016 with the excellent buchan trap, and weve been blessed to secure a full single release with the on-point pair. the mechanical funk of artin swings with plenty of assured groove, the shuffling hats, dense kicks and dubby stabs that ping pong across this fierce production mark this out as a real killer cut. dario & marco zenker, aka the zenker brothers, take time out from their busy ilian tape operations to remix artin into a brutal yet funky techno goliath. congas perpetually roll forward, with frenetic 909 hats and raw and ready stabs in what may well be one of the zenkers finest remixes to date. the essence of funk continues in hall & malins music, with cahen, a great slab of compelling techno that never slips too far into darkness, instead keeping an ever evolving groove and some abstract drone like synthesis to keep the mood buoyant. wrapping up the release is brown, a track that finishes as urgently as it starts, perhaps with a cap doffed to the purpose maker sounds of a certain jeff mills, but broadening the palette to allow some trippy sound architecture and an effective breakdown mid way through. modern day techno supplied by a duo that will most certainly flourish over the coming months, yaleesa hall & malin deliver the goods aplomb on this hypercolour single.

having crept out of the tape undergrowth and respected haunts like clan destine and always human to earn more civilized recognition on bank records nyc and bliq, strahinja arbutina makes the move to vivod for yet more of that edgy, leftfield techno business that keeps mothers awake at night from worry. the grit, noise and distortion has been faithfully carried through from the cassette-based roots of arbutinas sound, but these tracks are more than ready to do the damage in the dance (where you re less likely to find a tape deck). hold on tight as the likes of way ahead give the sound engineer a fright when they think the system has overloaded.

alexander kowalski has been immersed in techno for a long time, and his sound is massively representative of the reduced, late night berlin sound. as d_func. he s contributed many times to marcel heese s finitude label, and now he s back to pay tribute to uk free party techno legends spiral tribe. kowalski s own interpretation may be more minimal and hypnotic than the wild, raucous energy spiral tribe was best known for, but his trancey approach comes on like a nostalgic vision into the early 90s, while also aligning with the modern masters such as donato dozzy and peter van hoesen.

well street are back with their second instalment of broken beat techno on this 4-track various ep. loop lf returns to the fold after his impressive first release alongside label founders glas rm and speak7, plus an unnamed track by a mystery artist.

second release of nathan melja on his own imprint dream real, this is not a techno ep, this is not a bass ep, this is simply a music record. four tracks going from ambient to club music to a weird and slowed down rap by himself on the eponymous title raindrops enjoy and much love to y all.

detroit minimal techno innovator terrence dixon delivers five tracks of mind bending tones, alienated pads and sci-fi bleeps in a unique dystopian soundscape.

its taken over two-decades legendary uk techno label ferox enter their 24th year with a 4 trackerafrom fellow brit kirk degiorgio. beholden looks both to the future with influences from kirk s seminal machine events which he hosts with ben sims, and the illustrious past of deep melodic uk techno which he shares with ferox owner russ gabriel. it continues a resurgence of lush, harmonic techno that once dominated the electronic music scene and which is now findingaa fresh, young audience. expansive chords, delicate melodies and intricate grooves are once again on the cutting edge agenda.

contemporary italo-disco and foggy rave culture mark margots first 12inch on life and death, amore a bordo pista - a welcomed surprise. machines breathe on a1, where throbbing synth-bass meets timeless vocoder, as premiered on dj tennis essential mix debut. the afterparty and warehouse meld on the flip, a mind-bending time-warp - somewhere between panic and introspection. technicolour signee, dauwd, aces his re-depicton of the title track, hinting at golden-era chain reaction, while kiwi slows down salsce, retaining all of its drive, adding further cosmic brushstrokes. four weapons of the mind, a trippy affair.

orson bramley has a long-standing legacy in uk electro history as part of the transparent sound production crew, and hes been recently aligned with robin balls memory box parties in london where he s been able to display his years of experience whipping machines into funky configurations in a live environment. this release speaks to that experience, with the various versions of then again punching out an irresistible sermon of crafty synth lines, swooping strings and crisp beats. ball steps up for two remixes on the flip that equally reside in the electro realm, but come at the component parts from a different rhythmic angle. one refined idea done five ways what more do you need to know?
