sold out! what happens when scales and patterns of contradicting emotional imprints combine? when light and darkness, bitter and sweet, frost and blaze collide? those are the questions that johannes heil chooses to address on his upcoming album, opening up a vast grey-scaled area for the listener to traverse with techno as a blindfold. <black light> sees the german techno mainstay return to the album format for an intimate ten track odyssey of close-curtained introspection. heil chooses the words of fellow futurist nikola tesla to set the stage of the black light story: >black is the true face of light, only we do not see this<. track names are dropped in favor of a chronology of scenes, better adapted to the seemingly polar opposition of the forces that the figure and cocoon regular conjures throughout the album. everything that we perceive is processed and set into relation with past memories, digested emotions and iron-branded impressions. battling the current, johannes heil chooses to challenge certitudes by forcing us out of our comfort zones into the absence of light. if the pictures painted on >black light< are dark, they are also far from monochromatic. the machine-driven sonic prism acts both as the heavy cloud and the burst of light that shoots through to guide us. its the aggressor and the victim, the clenched teeth and the jubilant, the paranoia and the sanity of the mind. its pure heads-down driving techno with volumes of grandiose. provoking our senses, extending his art onto our personal canvases, the exile boss gives the listener the freedom to interpret the emotional context of each piece, to write the scripts of the individual scenes. the impression that >black light< leaves upon first listen testifies that 20 years down the road, johannes heil shows no sign of slowing down.

alr001 is tech-house based track features one late-night club cut of pure, padded brilliance. the original mix is a meditative, as it blissfully sways between softly thumping bass and euphoric synth snippets. hamburg based well known dj cess (formally from also known from cocoon booking) re-edited the track for dj s with a male spoken monologue that, despite being a tad pretentious, actually kind of weirdly works. fittingly, its the most dance floor appropriate of the bunch and would slip nicely into a bleary-eyed, 6am sunrise set.

2015 ist das jahr des neuen albums von alex bau, das ende april seine definition von modernem, intelligentem techno mit einem düsteren und zugleich auch organischem touch präzise definiert. ein klares bekenntnis zum sound. frei von hochglanz-bildern und ablenkenden elementen kommt dies album mit techno in seiner unverfälschten, puren form mit einem einzigen fokus: die musik selbst! nach 5 jahren quasi überfällig ist es definitiv an der zeit, daß einer der am meisten für ihren sound respektierten technoproduzenten nach mehr als 100 produktionen und remixes auf szenerelevanten labels wie chris liebing s -clr-, techniasia s -sino-, dem englischen technoaushängeschild -sleaze records-, dem legendären harthouse oder auch kürzlich auf sven väth s -cocoon recordings- nun erneut ein techno-statement in form eines full-length-albums zu setzen. und genau hierfür kam nur eine plattform in frage: alex eigenes label -credo-, das vor allem in den letzten beiden jahren mit seinen eindrucksvollen releasaes mehr als durchgestartet ist.

originally hailing from slovakia but now based out of berlin just_me has been slowly making waves on the underground having previously released for baile music, 1trax and act natural respectively, as well remixing alongside the likes of hector, laura jones and the great todd terry. not a label to pigeon hole ourselves to any one genre or style of house or techno we are constantly looking to push the boundaries on the music we release with the pattern ep we have done just that! as just_me brings us two original deep, stripped back and dubbed out cuts adding some atmospheric and acidic tinges along the way. on the remix duties we have two very capable artists first up is cocoon s martinez who has shown us his new deeper side with an altogether tougher but minimal groove and feel on pattern 01 and to complete the remixes desolat s fosky brings a much more energetic approach to pattern 02. !

the long running one records overseen by adam shelton and subb-an returns with it s 32nd release and first of the year, more importantly warp is the first full ep for the label from mr. ashique subhan! with a style very much cultivated across releases on spectral, crosstown rebels, visionquest, cocoon, a new record from subb-an will always be greeted with anticipation. lead track warp is a typically classy slice of effervescent house music, funnelling deep and dubby textures underneath a strident bassline and crisp, intricate drum programming. complementing this, tv is an equally charming production who s worming bass surges work well against the vocal contribution from jacob phono.

adam beyer has been showing us the extent of his versatility for years and this ep solidly cements the idea that beyer can confidently swing between genres and keep up his consistently high standards within electronic music. youre the same is a remarkable piece of work and keeps the tech house bods moving and shaking. all the tracks on this three-part stunner are chunky, solid grooves, that are infused with dashes of techno, house and dub. vocal snippets are used to create some spine tingling hooks as well as moody pads to create eerie atmospheres. valium & lfos has already built up quite a following courtesy of its inclusion in beyers landmark amnesia terrace set for cocoon that was later broadcast as part of his drumcode live radio show. it has also been a mainstay in richie hawtins sets along with other accomplished djs including the likes of joseph capriati. a well accomplished single from the swede.

muddy waters ep, the second release from trust, comes from the duo us. trust, cocoon artist julien brachts own label, engraves 3 tracks on wax that present noise as original as can be. the title track by the duo us, namely louis mcguire and markus nikolaus a.k.a. cunt cunt chanel, is a straight-up soulful blend thick with the commanding charm of markus velveteen vocal underpinned by mcguires pulsating beat-as hypnotic as it is powerful. juliens space is heaven rmx captures the hard, dry sound of a live-jam between the pair, whilst his heady trust mix promptly quashes any doubts left hanging. trust us.
