when the aquaplano records were first released in 2008 and 2009, emerging out of hardwax with little fanfare, they were distinctly out of step with the way techno appeared to be heading. the minimal detour was reaching its logical endpoint, and producers were returning to the 1990s for inspiration, with berghain and sandwell district at the vanguard of a new techno movement. what the aquaplano sessions shared in common were slower bpms and finding inspiration in the 1990s, but there they parted ways. the influences these italians were drawing on were rather different, returning to tribal rhythms and ambient textures to sketch out a much more heady, psychedelic form of techno.

hq we happened to find some boxes containing all remaining copies of repetitive digital noise by i, a.k.a. atomtm! four tracks of timeless, minimal, acidic techno recorded in 1992 and rereleased - for the first time on vinyl - on recognition in 2006. as these tunes are still making rounds in dj sets of, among others, marcel dettmann, ben klock or nina kravitz, we thinks its the great opportunity to get hold of some of the most archetypical tracks that helped to shape techno as we know it today

ike yard came into being as no wave passed on, industrial was in the air and proto-techno had yet to be coined. propulsive, paranoid, aggressive electro minimalism, with as much attention paid to the mixing board and effects processors as to vocals, guitar and synth. at once starker and more fully-formed than virtually all other contemporaneous post-punk music. desires 2012 edition represents the first ever vinyl reissue of this classic, prophetic album. the line-up for the third remix ep includes a great deal of diverse music.
this is a 12 inch vinyl release, limited to 500 copies. grey vinyl, black inner-sleeve. artwork by stephen americh, inspired by the factory america design for ike yard…

eric is definately swedens most interesting and skillful producer when it comes to underground deep house and soulful techno. eric ericksson released his first single in 96 with several releases since then on respected labels, both indie and major. at age 18, he released a single on derrick mays label fragile, alongside artists such as carl craig and laurent garnier. later the same year he, as part of the duo minimalisterna, released a full-length album on virgin records. in 2011 the ep someone is watching was released on carl craigs planet e communications. as co-founder of kass recordings he released the work of some of the top artists on the swedish scene, such as zoo brazil and style of eye. in 2009 he formed north beach together with daniel howe and since then they had three releases on kant recordings and played in well-respected venues in europe. his latest 12 inch vinyl love cannot was released this summer on freerange recordings.

jubilee for dystopian… not only the number 005 for the label, also 5 years of dystopian showcases around the world and a good working agency and label since 2012 – the dystopian guys want to say thank you with that special release. and what fits better to invite some long term guests to remix dystopian artists ?! first, we invited pär grindvik who played the second dystopian party ever in 2010 to remix the already wonderful >stone edge< by felix k. and what else to say, that one turned out into a tribal techno monster.second remixer is function – he played the every first dystopian event back in 2009 (you remember, as sandwell district live, ben klock, shed and rodhad).. so, this time it s our pleasure – and to get a good balance to the a-side, he delivered a groovy hypnotizing minimalistic tool.. you need to let i grow, but than this track getting you from behind :)

for every producer the first album is a big thing and filled with lots of emotions and love. finally after two years of work, after their last single sugar - cocina india with a straight pumpin sweet n candy remix, lepetris album >acoustic signs< comes out on wanted beatz with full of natural sounds. inspired by his impressions, lepetri speaks in his tracks from minimal to techno about his experiences and places, such as the album name implies, an acoustic sign in the musical underground culture without losing the sense of club music. so it was important for him to bring his experience and adventures in form musical expression. from rocking beats up to melodious strings, each turntable can be served in the club. a club album which fits to each phase of a party. therefore, the first vinyl goes more towards house and the second vinyl contains more techno elements. check it out and enjoy!

4th title from this great collaborative techno label from london, another fine bundle of established artists go head to head... bros004 brings together two legends of the techno world mike parker and paul birken. they have created a track that is a minimal system killer, driving forward with pure subtly thats hypnotising as well as forceful. on the flip side greg shappert (donor) and bill youngman move and step around distorted drums and synth lines creating a never ending in your face techno track!

for this 4th release, we decided to bring you guys one of the best producer right now : kuba sojka !!!the analog man, his continued music production has focused on collaboration with the chicago mathematics recordings label, which presents his more jazzy and soulful face, but not only through the >bright shadow of a star< ep, but from a bigger thanks to the album >mysterious intrigue< released on 2x12<. that release boldly displayed how kuba can combine a bit of the artistic world in jazz and underground club sound of detroit techno and chicago house. this alone didnt confirm the listeners of his music. it was also due to the fact that he presents a real and sincere vibe and is open to new and developing sounds world-wide. as you guys can expect from the man, those cuts are clearly inspired by undergound resistance, dopplereffect, minimal wave & the chicago house sound. the title track >future mind< is a perfect example of those influences, for us it already sounds like an instant classic. the 5 other tracks >revolution<, >walk on moon<, >adventures into the unknown

the first vinyl record from betagamma bears the name of the most extraordinary and fascinating reptile. it is no coincidence. the imprint is given by both betagammas main occupation and his love of minimalism and techno. either way, the track references science. a slightly oddish, popping groove as if someone opened up a terrarium cage. the record features interesting and crazy remixes, clearly everyone has their own geckos in the attic.

keeping up this memento, robert hood delivers these two new cuts of pulsating, body-moving techno with that classic, deep and minimal hood sound.

a 4-track package traversing house and techno. first up jour de fete, a reference to the black and white 1940s french comedy – perhaps a clue to mr georget… one things for sure this is toe-tapping house. taking its time to perfectly build up the progression towards smooth outbursts of wailing sirens. 6eme etape is another fine example of get-up-and-dance house, theres plenty of driving drum kick and jazzy key chords, nicely pulled back and interrupted, to drop back in again with a renewed energy. poil de renard on the other hand immediately marks out its territory among the german minimal and micro house space. strong, syncopated beats laced with chopped up whispers and unknown reverberations, this is tough! the 103 mix softens up the edges, a subtle underlying synth providing the mellowness – essentially your morning-after dub version.

two techno heavyweights in the form of swiss producer pascal nuzzo and uk duo nhb come together for three fierce tracks on the !organism label. nhb can be considered one the of best recent revelations in minimal techno, where they found a place thanks to their experiences of the late 90s rave underground. nhbs philosophy has always been linked with the use of real synthesizers and drum machines and that shows here, whilst nuzzo has had plenty of big hits in various sonic realms over the last few years, from french filter house to edm to full on techno.

cassegrain & tin man are a deadly combination. old school acid lines programmed by one of the greatest masters in this field meet a super modern techno sound design by cassegrain, who have made themselves a name in the last years for producing some of the finest in dark and experimental techno. for the follow up to their debut release on killekill they have put together three tracks that are outstand- ing. high & low is a slowly swelling minimalistic acid epos of over 10 minutes length which proves the mas- tership of tin man in programming acid loops of eternal quality. 8 beats length only, but constantly evolving. no chance for boredom. the b-side starts with sex kit, a dark acid stomper with a chirping percussion which is well suitable for the peaktime dancefloor, followed by sand maze, a sublte minimalistic ambient acid piece, that winds its way into total dissolution. we are quite sure that this is the way acid should sound in 2013.

eye records is a label from ganez (the terrible).together with him, we decided to give the best of these a chance to exist on wax, choosing 4 of our favourite tunes on the eye whole catalog. a wicked melt powerfull techno and minimal tekhouse, dancefloor killerz!

legendary studio 1 re-release! >a series of very special minimal funky music based on very small and sneaky samples, danceable music but very much influenced by architecture and by the idea of taking minimal by the word and leaving out as much elements as possible to bring the maximum within the minimum.< – wolfgang voigt on the studio 1 series. with this re-release of two tracks from wolfgang voigts seminal studio 1 series, lisbons assemble music turns the spotlight back on to what amounts to the basic grammar of most contemporary underground house and techno. along with basic channel and the concept series, studio 1 has long been acknowledged as one of the forerunners of minimalist techno, though voigt is at pains to point out the >differences between their handwriting. rightly so, since neither mark & moritz nor hawtin prioritised the funk and fizz that jumps out of these two tracks >gelb< the determined younger brother to the more conventionally dubby (but no less groovy) >lila<. any producer who has spent long hours making minute adjustments to the interplay between the simplest of elements – kick, bass, snare, hats – should know they have been walking in voigts ever-so-well-placed footsteps. this re-release from assemble music serves as a reminder of where the music has come from

the original tracks solid and east are a perfect mixture for, ranging between gently moving sounds, pulsating structures, deeply touching melodies, playful minimalism, and proper dub techno ... the remixes maintained their focus on the dancefloor, every version has its own special touch recyds version could be described as harmonious tech-house, creating a special mood with lots of synths and strings. headhoncho elezi created a rhythmic remix with shuffle beats melodic baseline wicked groove that will work in any peak time.

following a slew of acclaimed releases on left blank and tri angle, as well an album with the much lauded young echo collective, vessel debuts on the burgeoning liberation technologies imprint with three diverse cuts of inimitable off-kilter electronics. *misery is a communicable disease* serves as a euphoric opener, primed for moments of escapism on or off the dancefloor with resonant hats and an exultant synth line laid bare upon a bed of gauzy pads and valve-warmed kicks. vmi is a different beast altogether, channeling the visceral spirit of minimal wave and punk aesthetic to create a sordid call to arms before the frenzied acid and lingering menace of *not for design* closes the record in typically deranged fashion.

spanish talented artist eduardo de la calle who release on superwax rec, mentalgroove and name a few... we loved his latest release on cadenza. its hypnotic minimal but quite musical. it reminds me early villalobos. on a side, the ranchors time is timeless hypnotic techno.on b side, both tracks are more berlin house style. they are for the fan of kink or levon vincent stuff. we are very happy with this 12inch, hope you enjoy!

it is not minimal, not maximal, and always in compliance with the historic atmosphere of detroit. we call it techno! nasty temper records presents its new release >pastpresentphuture< with d.i.c.e aka daniel benito kunz.

tin man has been creating a stir on dance floors worldwide for many years with his unique vision of acid, techno and house. in recent times he has opened his production toolbox to a wider variety of styles, also focusing on songwriting, often adding vocals. the underdog series, produced last winter in new york, emphasizes on deep killer techno – this new release – the underdog ep part 2 – features three floor shaking techno cuts in different shapes. on the a side the aptly titled >swarm< features an epic minimal acid tune building over 10 minutes driven by twirling soundscapes resembling a swarm of killerbees on attack. flipping over there is >hack<, which bows towards soundhack with its dirty funked up sample chords and cut up groove. the ep finishes off with >rocky<, a masterpiece in reduction – hypnotic and deep techno.

decoy07 takes a deeper turn with the third act ep. miss sunshine (kms, monocline, tictactoe) has been working flawlessly in the studio for the past six years and this ep is no exception. third act is a heavy workout of riding bells and an old-school synth line which grooves its way through percussion builds and changes. intimidate is deeper and darker with a chugging groove and twisting effects growing into a more graceful melody. ground loop captures miss sunshines more ambivalent mood with a haunting groove that is perfect for those basement techno moments. markus suckut (figure, sckt)supplies the remix with his interpretation of ground loop, taking it more minimal and stripped back but maintaining the groove in his own familiar style.
