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 .

pentagram is going straight forward. with the drums kicking in, it gets his tribal atmosphere, supporter by a jumping synth.
the deep mood is rolling with it all the way.
and the track cold is inspired by the district in berlin braunbeck is living in,
called wedding. a rough, loud and simple area but also with a lot of character and and multi cultural influences.

nice price deal !!! amazing & groundbreaking compilation!! with success comes ambition, and on the heels of two successful 12-inch releases that followed the changing seasons of 2013, studio r returns for fall 2014 with our most expansive offering yet. coming in the form of a 12 track triple ep, our third release revisits one illustrious name – fred p – while deepening the roster with a list of the renown like brendon moeller, exercise one and mike parker, hot upcoming names like zadig, dj spider, and hakim murphy, and lesser knowns, some new but others with long histories. those with their ears to the ground will certainly perk up for contributions from andré kronert and boyd schidt, each of which can trace their production histories back over a decade, the former as head of night drive music and the latter as half of the georgian duo greenbeam & leon. the remaining three – harry light, j&#363,,,ras lietus, and weitone – are all newer, with the first making his debut here, the second having debuted on our own wavereform imprint, and the third ostensibly new, although he may have some history we will not reveal here.

the edit select imprint continues its tribute to testes seminal the wipe with this first part of a series of remixes 12inches. first to the plate is none than rrose (sandwell district/eaux) and dino sabatini(prologue/outis) for two distinct takes on this classic track.

mallorcas dakpa has been on a roll since amam released his debut ep last fall. he has contributed to several compilations, including amams own hand out series, kina music s fade to k pt. 3 and wizz vinyl s sonar sampler 2014, plus eps for labels like district raw and serial number 849. but amam gets the honor of issuing his first own vinyl release, the distres ep. the opening title track is an exercise in jacking minimalism, vibrant tech house with just the essentials, but more than enough to get the floor moving. then, ademus gets into a slightly more colorful groove, with tropical percussive interplay and some whooping voice for a humanistic accent (is that brigitte bardot?). on the flip, virgo gives a modern update to the frenzy of acid house. the title alone brings virgo four to mind. on that note, this one is an effective tool for warping minds and evoking spastic dance moves. finally, the dependable gaetano vinci a.k.a. hooved reinterprets ademus with a heavy dose of melodic funk and symphonic washes, making the track into an entirely new creation.

with their cinematic music and john carpenters cover albums, we wondered when a real soundtrack by zombie zombie is going to be out? well, here it is now , the two zombies cosmic neman and etienne jaumet finally sign their first film music for the first feature film from director , narimane mari, loubia hamra (bloody beans), to be released in spring 2014. and we found them there, where we do not expect, because it s not a horror movie, but a free movie, a journey of a group of children from a district of algiers during the war of algeria, who becomes aware of life and death.director narimane mari talks about her experience with zombie zombie and creation of the soundtrack for her movie:-i really wanted the music to be as blood flow of images and that is what it is. sharp, dull, full of strange noises, inner or surging, harmonious or disturbed by noise disorder, which allows to read beyond the visual narrative. we are in the bowels of childhood and it shakes us up when we let our-selves be takeover by the living: the profusion. i didn’t want to make a movie where psychology and reason rule and dominate until our senses are weakened, but a movie that we experience with the body and it is them who made it possible, this total immersion.

what happened to techno? if you find yourself asking this question, obviously you haven t seen amelie ravalec s landmark film on the subject. from secret parisian parties to berlin s infamous berghain club, paris/berlin: 20 years of underground techno documents the underground movement of techno through the lens of two different cities. after 2 years successfully touring the film worldwide, fondation sonore and les films du garage are commemorating the occasion with a gatefold double lp featuring the film s harder edge techno. back-to-back classics from regis (downwards, sandwell district), ancient methods (ancient methods, fondation sonore), adam x (sonic groove, fondation sonore), archae & grovskopa (surface), makaton (rodz-konez), kareem (zhark) and oyaarss (ad noiseam). this must-have-techno-compilation also features an lp exclusive track from dna, produced by dax j & paris/berlin director amelie ravalec.

dustin zahn makes his album debut in march 2014 with the release of monoliths on adam beyers drumcode label.

the 3rd instalment in the newington series comes from la born, berlin based steve huerta who s signature style harkens back to house musics roots while maintaining a deep, modern sheen. the ep off the plate is a varied affair with different house music moods and feelings to be had. the lead track off the plate is a dance floor monster with the appropriate rave stabs to boot. safe is a slightly more laidback affair with a groove to sway your hips to. stepney shuffle pays homage to another london district, bring a distinct jack to proceedings. london based silk 86 take on remix duties, with their own take on silk.

for its inaugural release, spring theory has tapped san francisco producer avalon emerson for a three-track ep. its called church of somawhich, before you get any funny ideas about huxlean wonder drugs, is actually a reference to san franciscos industrial south of market district, which has been an epicenter for dance music since time immemorial. the record pays homage to her long nights spent dancing and djing in one particularly loved soma warehouse.

we continue our run of introducing new and emerging talent from different corners of the globe, with a 4-track ep of absolute belters. no b-sides here!

truly one of the most prolific producers of the techno new breed, markus suckut always delivers with his trademark reduced style, designed for heavyweight soundsystems and heavyweight djs.

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.

here it is, our new release comes from the far west coast of the usa, from a total american,a blend of the north and south continents, the scfi xicano: santiago salazar. he is a long running veteran, ambassador of the deepest techno, founder and president of thehistoria & violencia imprint, sandwell district cooperator. if you are into techno, this guy needs no introduction. for his debut in our label, santiago provides four pieces of soulful electronic music suitable for mind or body dancing, slow tempos, vintage drums, resonant pads and heavy synth workout.

136° club - known as a established club in hamburgs redlight district, is now launching a new music label: 136 degreerecordings. a symbiosis of club and music is about to begin. their first release named sinus ep comes along with strong and arms wide open sounds. frederick alonso, kevin over or neal porter are just some of the names to be mentioned who add their great sound to this first ep. special focus on tapesh and his great remix of muovos track called clap your hands. grooving, pumping and drivining deep and tech house will be characteristic for the first release. a great album in all its facets - it makes you looking forward to whats coming up next. its all about their love for 4/4 grooves.

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 :)

the production renaissance of rhythm plate continues apace with the third release on their pressed for time label which revisits one of the peak district duos earliest releases. originally issued on the crucial uk house imprint diy discs back in the halcyon days of the late nineties, the masters at wirksworth ep helped establish the rhythm plate sound. clever programming and a deep stomping vibe permeated all four tracks and this is still the case some fourteen years on. as the cunningly re-titled ep suggests, the two original tracks have been newly remastered and are accompanied by two brand spanking new mixes by matt rhythm and ant plate ... so theres now no reason to pay l106 on discogs for the original ep!

two years have passed since his release at sandwell district and after his remix contribution to sawf’s sand ep, belgian producer, yves de mey, returns to modal analysis with a two-track ep. the first track allures the listener to an abstract heavy sound, whereas, the second track follows a more distinct rhythmic structure. both tracks create an atmospheric environment with the use of modular sounds. the ep wraps up with a shifted club remix of the first track.

the pedigree of this collaboration should need little explanation. luminaries of british electronic music spanning over two decades, russell haswell (gescom, haswell & hecker) and downwards label founder karl o connor (regis, sandwell district, british murder boys) have come together to produce three tracks of inimitable experimental techno in their debut collaborative release. with each track built upon a permutating sonic foundation, these are muscular and expertly paced compositions that effortlessly transition between hypnotic rhythms and textural and timbral experimentation.

deep in the caverns underneath shibuya district in tokyo there is one of the most debouched club nights the city has ever scene. this night known only as mass has been a stalwart of techno for over 10 years and is still going strong. the label mass united is the bastard child of the club night and on this release features k.n., cydeboard, dj 2.003 and yoshinori, the crazed cosmonauts that spin the tracks that define the club night. this release is step inside that world with deep and mad styles over club floor beats.

techno music that is more rock n roll than any guitar nowadays could be

feverish new eaux release, limited white vinyl 1st edition, printed disco bag. although rroses alma mater record label sandwell district may now be defunct, the actively ambiguous american producer shows no signs of slowing down. after launching his own experimental techno label eaux earlier this year and making true-to-name appearances dressed as a sophisticated, chic female, rrose has continued to pursue elusiveness while ironically garnering an enthusiastic following amongst techno purists. without a doubt, the release of > wedge of chastity< will further reinforce the sonic niche that the eaux label has carved out for itself.

droning techno that will be a hit with the sandwell district heads.
